Speaker 1: but we'll also have the return of the moistline people.

23
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: All right, So when this world to fast moving news,

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: sometimes it's fake. Thanks to social media, people like to

25
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: just jump on everything. Last year, last fall, at the

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: border in Texas, there was a problem and that we

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: had a lot of migrants trying to get into the

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: United States, and there was a huge cluster of migrants

29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: from a certain country, Haiti. And then of course they

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: were journalists there. They were taking pictures. One journalist took

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: pictures where it was decided, Oh, the agents and they

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: were on horseback are whipping the migrants. They're using whips.

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris said it reminded her oft times of slavery.

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: Joe Biden repeated the whipping claims. Here we are many

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: months later, finally a report on all that happened. Yeah,

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Biden said to reporters. To see people treated like they did,

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: horses barely running over, people being strapped, it's outrageous. I

38
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: promise you these people will pay. Well, it was all

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: a lie. Because now, after a five hundred and eleven

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: page report, the US Custom and Border Protection Office found

41
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: no evidence that agents struck intentionally or otherwise any migrant

42
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: with their reins. And that's what people were seeing. They

43
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: weren't actual whips like part of their equipment. They were

44
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: the horse reins. Yeah, and because of the way the

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: photographs came out, people thought they were using the reins

46
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: as whips. There was an optical illusion, and Biden and

47
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Kamela Harris just stood there and lied. They should have

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: gone inside and sat down with people who were there

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: and examined the photos and said nothing. But that's not

50
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: what happened. Let's get to Brandon Judd on Yeah, the

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: Border Patrol Union President, Brandon Judd, Welcome to the show,

52
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: the National Border Patrol Council. Brandon, how are you. It's

53
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: good to be with you. But it gets even worse

54
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: than that. It's not even like he's issued an apology yet,

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: he's not even come out and told these agents that

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: he's sorry for wrongfully accusing them of a criminal act.

57
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: He has ruined their career. Although they're still employed by

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: the Border Ptrol, their careers are ruined, and they're ruined

59
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: because he preemptively came out and made a false statement

60
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: against them and has yet to acknowledge it and own

61
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: up to it. Why can't they just go back to

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: work and continue with their careers the way they should be.

63
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: What happens to them now? The agency has the right

64
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: to put them on administrative duties pending an investigation, and

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: that's that's what they did here. The problem is is

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: that five hundred eleven page report. It says nothing when

67
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: you look at the charges that they brought against the agents,

68
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: the administrative charges or the or what they say they

69
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: l the policy. This is one of the These are

70
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: some of the flimsiest cases I have ever seen in

71
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: my twenty five year career. This is something where these investigators,

72
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: these are executive branch employees. Their boss is that the

73
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: top boss is the President of the United States. They

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: saw that the President of the United States ruined these

75
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: agents careers, and they knew darn good and will that

76
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: he could do the exact same thing to them if

77
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: they did not find fault. Again, it's a very very

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: flimsy um in investigation. It says nothing. So they they've

79
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: come up while they're cleared of whipping the migrants. They

80
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: came up with some other UH crimes, other infractions. Can

81
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: you go through what what? What? Now? These these are

82
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: something about unnecessary force? Yeah, what is that? What is that? Specifically?

83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: What are they saying? The UH? The patrol agents did so,

84
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: so what does what does these investigators failed to do

85
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: is they failed to take into consideration what was happening

86
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: at the time. This was the largest illegal immigration event

87
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: in the history of the United States and we've never

88
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: even come closest seeing anything like this. To their back,

89
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: they had over ten thousand people that were under bridge.

90
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: There were so many people that CVP couldn't even take

91
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: them into custody. It was such a dangerous situation that

92
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: the State of Texas had to send out DPS officers

93
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: to control the situation. They had that to their backs,

94
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: they had several hundred people to their front crossing the

95
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: border illegally, a criminal act that was taking place in

96
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: front of them. Their job was to stop these people

97
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: from crossing the border illegally. It's amazing. It's because of

98
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: their professionalism that nobody was hurt. Then you look at

99
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: you look at what Commissioner Magnus said that they used

100
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: inappropriate language again they failed to take into consideration the

101
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: totality of the circumstances. You are going to use colorful

102
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: language when a male is putting a child and a

103
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: woman in front of him in the river, or had

104
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: that child and woman followed into that river, a river

105
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: already taken hundreds of lives had those children fallen, had

106
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: that child and women fall into the river, that agent

107
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: would have had to put his life in danger and

108
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: would have had to go into the river, so that

109
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: that male put not only a woman in child in danger,

110
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: he put the life of an agent in danger. Of course,

111
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: colorful language is going to use. What would anybody else

112
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: do that? And that colorful language. It was skeptical at best.

113
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, again, very very flimsy report, very shoddy investigation.

114
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: It was all done to appease the President of the

115
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: United States, who had already passed judgment. It also shows

116
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: that Biden and Harris have a terrible vicious bias against

117
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: the border patrol agents, because anybody reasonable would have waited

118
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: for an investigation before they'd come out and say anything. Absolutely,

119
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: we already know that they that they hate the mission

120
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: of of the border patrol. They hate border patrol agents.

121
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: They do not like um that we're out there actually

122
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: trying to enforce the laws and keep the American public saying,

123
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: we've had one hundred and one hundred thousand UM overdose

124
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: death last year, a record, we're on pace to break

125
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: that this year. And they continue to do nothing while

126
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: we're trying to do what's best by the American public.

127
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: They do nothing and they vilify us when we try

128
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: to do the best that we can the job that

129
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: we were sent out to do. Yeah, a lot of

130
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: this focused on the Horse Patrol Unit, and I guess

131
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: the horses are good for crowd control. Isn't that kind

132
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: of what the idea behind them? Yeah, if you look

133
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: at if you look at um NYPD, that's what they

134
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: use their horses for. They use them for crowd control.

135
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: Lots of agencies use use the horse for crowd control.

136
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: Yet Commissioner Magnus today came out and said, well, our

137
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: horses shouldn't be used for crowd control. What is the

138
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: height of hypocrisy is that the Secretary himself was out

139
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: there and he saw that the horses were being used

140
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: for crowd control, and he said nothing about it. He

141
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: had no problem with it. But now that the President

142
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: said something, they must justify him. Well, this is really

143
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: a scapegoating situation, isn't it That they jumped to an

144
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: embarrassing public conclusion and now they've got nowhere to go

145
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: but trump up some minor charges to justify the whole

146
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: investigation and the whole commotion. Do you think it took

147
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: this long, Brandon because they were looking for whipping evidence

148
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: that they couldn't find. No, they knew that they didn't

149
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: have any criminal They knew that they didn't have any

150
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: criminality right from the get go. They knew that it

151
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: took so long because they had to come up with

152
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: some sort of violation. They had to look high and

153
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: low to find some sort of violation. That's why it

154
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: took so long. But that's another piece of this. This

155
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: investigation was completed in April, nearly three months ago. It

156
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: was completed, and they're barely getting around to this. That's

157
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: another violation on their part. They must serve agents with

158
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,359
Speaker 1: the disciplinary proposal at the earliest opportune time. This investigation

159
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: was done three months ago and they're barely getting around

160
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: to it. The reason why they're barely getting around to

161
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: it was because they had to develop their talking points.

162
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: They had to develop their pr points because they knew

163
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: that people like you were going to be all over them.

164
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: And rightfully so. And by the way, thank you, oh

165
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: thank you, Brandon, talk to you. Yeah, just one more thing.

166
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Is there any appeals board or a court case that

167
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: you can make out of this, sir? Yes, yes, so

168
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: right now, this is just a proposal stage the agents,

169
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: through our attorneys, they will make their case. A final

170
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: decision will be issued by the agency, and after that

171
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: final decision, then we'll be able to pill it to

172
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: an unbiased third party, an outside third party. All right,

173
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: all right, Brandon, we'll talk with you again then, thank you.

174
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Have a good one. All right, alright, that's the Board

175
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: of Patrol Union President Brandon Judd. The National Board of

176
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Patrol Council is the union for the agents, and he's

177
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: responding to the report that's finally come out about what

178
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: happened last September in Del Rio, Texas, when we had

179
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: the agents on horseback confronting Haitian micro When you have

180
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: woke jerks in government and woke jerks in the media,

181
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: they can whip up a fake storm and ruin the

182
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: reputations of really good men and women who work very hard.

183
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: The idea that you're gonna you're gonna charge people with

184
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: using bad language when there's ten thousand Haitians illegally crossing

185
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: the border. First of all, most of those people wouldn't

186
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: even understand the banded language to begin with. Well, you know,

187
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: if you believe in open borders, you want to paint

188
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: to put a patrol people as bad people, so you

189
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: get a glom onto a whipping story as far as

190
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: you can take it. Well, if you believe in open borders,

191
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: why don't you dismantle the border patrol? Then just get

192
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: rid of it. Anything goes. What's the point of making

193
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: them go out there and try to run interference when

194
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: you're going to destroy their reputations for doing their job.

195
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Then just close down the border patrol, make it really

196
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: wide open. What's the point? All right? As soon as

197
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: we come back, it's time for another keyword that you

198
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: can enter at the website kf I am sixty dot

199
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: com for chance to win somebody Johnny Kenkfine. We mentioned

200
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: last hour that Elon Musk has decided to withdraw his

201
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: offer to acquire Twitter. As the breaking news this afternoon,

202
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: forty four billion one thing worth noting though the Twitter

203
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: board can accept a one billion dollar breakup fee or

204
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: there could be a court battle. So I didn't realize

205
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: that by backing out of the deal, he supposedly will

206
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: have to pay a billion dollars to Twitter. He won't

207
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: notice that. You can't just walk away from there's a

208
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: couple hundred billions. I think the story's wondering if he'll

209
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: try to get more, Twitter will try to get more

210
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: from him. Yeah, bad bad timing. I mean, it turned

211
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: out to be mistaken timing because the stock market crashed

212
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: shortly after he put in the bid, right, I wasn't

213
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: counting on that. So but I thought that the bid

214
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: was more about just because he's annoyed with Twitter and

215
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: all their censorship. I thought that's really why he was

216
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: doing this. Yeah, I don't think a whole new I

217
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: don't think it was worth taking that much of a hit, though,

218
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: because he probably said, well, you know, I'm into this,

219
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: so should I start my own social media like Trump's

220
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: tried to do, or should I just take over the

221
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: one that's obviously the big favorite around the world. Don't

222
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: He's launching rockets, he's manufacturing electric cars, and he's still

223
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: digging underground tunnels, for digging underground tunnels. I mean, if

224
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: you're capable of doing that, if you're apriable sending rockets

225
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: out into space and coming up with a revolutionary car

226
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: and burrowing tunnels underground, why do you want to run

227
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: a system so woke people could argue their garbage. I mean,

228
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: that's just wasted life. The price of gasoline hasn't talked

229
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: about as much. It's come down, but we've said this before.

230
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: It comes up like a rocket and comes down like

231
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: a feather. It's still well over six dollars a gallon

232
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: here in southern California. Reuters reported this week that for

233
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: some reason, Joe Biden's Energy Department has been releasing millions

234
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: of barrels of oil it's called the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

235
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: the SPR to Europe and Asian countries, including China. Well.

236
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Biden ordered the Department of Energy to release a total

237
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: of two hundred and sixty million barrels of oil over

238
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the last eight months to combat the high prices for

239
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: American consumers, But meanwhile, more than five million barrels of

240
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: oil were sold to foreign countries, including countries controlled by

241
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist party. Yeah, and specifically a company that

242
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party controls, and Hunter Biden's equity firm

243
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: was and maybe still is an investor. Was that on purpose?

244
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Just accidentally? That company got a million barrels of oil?

245
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Just by chance? How are they? How are they connected

246
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: to the Oh he's got investments in a firm, but

247
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: he has, he has an equity firm. He's a co

248
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: founder of an equity firm that invested in this Chinese

249
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: oil company. And this Chinese oil company just got a

250
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: million barrels of oil from from us from Maybe I

251
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: have to scrutinize my mutual funds, maybe I have holdings

252
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: in some sort of He's got me this party oil company.

253
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Yeah, no, but but but the

254
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: thing is Biden is the co founder of the equity company.

255
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Sent not not just he has a passive investment. He has,

256
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: he's the founder. And they chose to invest their money

257
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: in a Chinese oil company. It's not like buying into

258
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: a mutual fund or anything. They chose to do that.

259
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: And then he's claiming that or his people are claiming that,

260
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: oh they don't know, they no longer have that investment.

261
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: But according to the Chinese records. Yeah, Hunter Biden still

262
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: has a piece of the company. Tell you something, if

263
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: you're tired of the January sixt hearings that the Republicans

264
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: take over the House of Representatives, this is all you're

265
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: going to see next year Hunter Biden hearings. That's apparently

266
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: what they planned to do. When they're not masking the

267
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: strong possibility that that's what they're going to do. Oh,

268
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: they're definitely going to do that, and that will be

269
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: another chail taser, hail chaser. Meanwhile, Reivers letters the Strategic

270
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: Petroleum Reserve has fallen to about four hundred and ninety

271
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: two million barrels of oil, which is the lowest it's

272
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: been since December of nineteen eighty five. The current level

273
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: is also twenty percent lower than the level recorded days

274
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: prior to Biden's first release of oil from the reserves

275
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: in late November. This thing's been around since nineteen seventy five.

276
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: It was established, and you can probably imagine why we

277
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: had some real gas problems in the early set. They

278
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: were hoping to get it. Maybe a quick dump of

279
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: oil onto the market might lower the the price noticeably,

280
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: and it didn't, right because it's too small an amount, right,

281
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: And again the call is form more domestic oil production

282
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: so we don't have to go to countries like Saudi

283
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: Arabia and beg for their oil. It's interesting that the

284
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: story says it's some of the oil went to China,

285
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: but I had read another story today. We have to

286
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: go to China for oil too. Today have a lot.

287
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: We know Russia has oil, and obviously you know the

288
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Middle East has oil. I don't know. I don't know

289
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: what they are reserved in China. Yes, that's why I

290
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: don't know why we're giving choice. I mean, a million

291
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: barrels is not very much, but why would you give

292
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: them at all? Like, because it's such a small amount

293
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: of oil to especially to a huge country like China,

294
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: why are we doing it at all? And it just

295
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: happens to be Hunter Biden's connection. That that's what's weird.

296
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: It's like as a million doesn't mean anything now obviously,

297
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: So you know, the criticism is that the Biden administration

298
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: is limiting new oil and gas leases on federal lands. Well,

299
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: the Department of Interior issued a plan last week banning

300
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: offstore oil and gas leasing in the Atlantic and Pacific

301
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: and they don't want to hold. They want to hold

302
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: between zero and eleven lease sales in federal waters through

303
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty eight. It's incredibly stupid. Is we

304
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: need the oil and if we're not going to get it,

305
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: we'll buy it from somewhere else. But it's the same

306
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: amount of hydrocarbons that go into the atmosphere, because the

307
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: atmosphere is all one, isn't it, So it doesn't matter

308
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: if we take it from our land, our water, or

309
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: they take it in Saudi Arabia or on. It's the

310
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: same amount of hydrocarbons. So this is incredibly stupid. It

311
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: just means that we can't supply our own oil. We're

312
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: dependent on all kinds of violent, crazy countries and we're

313
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: beholden to the world's oil supply problems instead of solving

314
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: it at home. It's the worst policy imaginable. Only stupid

315
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: people would do this, No intelligent government would do this.

316
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we know that California

317
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: government medals and just about everything. The news yesterday is

318
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: that we're not going to start producing our own insulin.

319
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: And you may not know this. We already make eyeglasses,

320
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: We do the California. Does I mean I'm talking about

321
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: private companies, I'm talking about state government, I'm talking about prisoners.

322
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: We'll talk about all this coming up Johnny Ken Show KFI.

323
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: But when police visited the home of the Highland Park,

324
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: Illinois mash shooter Bobby Cremo back in twenty nineteen because

325
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: he was threatening to kill himself and everybody else with

326
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: his knife collection, they determined he was a clear and

327
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: present danger. But in the final police report that was removed.

328
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it with Alex Stone, ABC

329
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: News correspondent for KFI after four o'clock and in what

330
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: we can call another edition of Dumb and Dumber. Bobby

331
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: Cremo's father is dumb and now his brother Dumber did

332
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: an interview with CNN and was asked, would you have

333
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: sponsored your nephew for a gun application back in twenty

334
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: nineteen after this happened. Will play his response in the

335
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: four o'clock Both of those guys should be ordered to

336
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: undergo the zectomies immediately. Yeah, just in case we got

337
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: to put an end to that genetic line. Now fifty

338
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: or sixty years old, two stick bad. Just you never know,

339
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: I can never can't take any chances. All right, Well,

340
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: you know I never failed to be surprised about the

341
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: state of California's welfare state. We have mentioned this before.

342
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: A third of Californians, forty percent of the state's children

343
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: five point two million kids are in medical A third

344
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: of the state and forty percent of the children. We're

345
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: talking about medical for a couple of reasons. But there's

346
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: a story today in the El Segundo Times that I

347
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: did not realize. So I read it because it kind

348
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: of surprised me. Apparently, in the case of providing eyeglasses

349
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: to people on medical they come from prisoners. Yes, there

350
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: are nearly three hundred prisoners in the state of California

351
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: who one of their jobs in prison is to make

352
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: eyeglasses for the poor, and they do it badly. Well,

353
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: that's the main slant of the story, that very badly.

354
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: The glasses are coming late, and sometimes they're broken or

355
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: they're the wrong prescription. Yeah, I think making eyeglasses, that's

356
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: one of those precision jobs. You have to get it

357
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: just so right. Didn't you think they made license plates,

358
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: isn't that yea, they made license plates. It's hard to

359
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: screw up a license plate, and if it's a little off,

360
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matters. You gotta be got right down

361
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: to the millimeter. Do you think part of the problem

362
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: is that there's just not enough prisoners left to make them.

363
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: They've released everybody, how many tens of thousands of inmates

364
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: have been released? Yeah, what's left? Well, they are blaming

365
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: part of this on COVID, but they don't mention that

366
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: they empty the prisons out. Wait, wait, wait a second.

367
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: They make eyeglasses badly, and that's because of COVID. Really well,

368
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: because people are sick, there's absences. There's not enough people

369
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: in the labs, and I guess the ones are they're

370
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: attired and doing shoddy work. I don't know why are

371
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 1: we doing this. There's plenty of private eyeglass companies. The

372
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: rest of that's far more expensive for a reason. It's

373
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: professional precision work. You need skills to do it. It's

374
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: supposed to be expensive. Well, the state was trying to

375
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: save money by using the prisoners to make the eyeglass.

376
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: They're trying to save money, now, are they. They've been

377
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: doing this since nineteen eighty eight. I had no idea.

378
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: They contract with the California Prison Industry authority. They're within

379
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: the Department of Corrections. They employ inmates, and they've been

380
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: doing this since nineteen eighty eight. There's a couple of

381
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: other states that do this, but they only save well,

382
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: they don't save that much money anyway. This is nonsense.

383
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: Glasses are expensive. I've heard people complain that. That's why

384
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: you've seen a lot of companies pop up that they

385
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: can do it cheaper and just mail you the glasses.

386
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: Because sometimes people go to the optical stores and they're like,

387
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, it really cost that much. Yeah, yeah,

388
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: they do. But the thing is you can't have them.

389
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: You can't have them pretty good. You have to have

390
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: them exact, so you've got to pay more for it.

391
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: It's it's a highly skilled position. You can't take guys

392
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: with the last thing they were doing was stabbing their

393
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: girlfriend and have them create high precision prescription eyeglasses. That

394
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: that's absurd on its face. Well, I guess they get

395
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: the prescription. The medical people probably go into some sort

396
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: of eyewear store and get a prescription. Then it's sent

397
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: to the state. I don't know how this works, but

398
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: because they don't do the actual lias at the prison,

399
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: I guess if it's covered by Medicaid, then that's where

400
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: the order goes to state prison, so violent prisoners can

401
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: fulfill the order. I mean, this gives you an idea

402
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: because they keep expanding medical coverage. Right, the federal government

403
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: requires that Medicaid offer vision benefits for children. Medical has

404
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: generally covered routine eye exams and a pair of glasses

405
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: once every two years for this age group. Well that

406
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: makes sense because as kids grow, things change. But they

407
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: did expand it in January twenty twenty to adults. Do

408
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: you know how many people now or in the eyeglass

409
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: program for medical It's almost a million billion. It was

410
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: only four hundred ninety two three years ago. And this

411
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: is all tax money. This is all tax money that

412
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: a few years ago we're in spending. Now we're buying

413
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: a million eyeglasses. Here's what they say. Well, look, they

414
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: only pay them twenty bucks for every pair of glasses,

415
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: and it costs it looks like it costs about fifty bucks.

416
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: If you send it to a private lab, the cost

417
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: is one hundred and forty one percent higher, so you

418
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: rat it off it's about fifty oh, so they're saving

419
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: thirty dollars per pair of glasses. I guess these aren't

420
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: designer glasses, no, except I think they don't work, so

421
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: they're not worth anything. You're even getting it for the frames,

422
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: and you go to those eyeglass doors, you're you're you're getting,

423
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: you're getting, You're getting ripped off, even at nineteen dollars

424
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: and sixty cents a pair, because if if your vision

425
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: is still blurry, then then what's what's the point. They

426
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: said that they used to be able to fill orders

427
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: in five days, and but the pandemic came along and

428
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: now it's taken thirty seven days on average. They now

429
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: claimed they're doing better and they're getting it back to

430
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: about nine or ten days per order. So they talked

431
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: to one prisoner. They threw him in prison in two

432
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: thousand and ten years in prison, and for three years

433
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: he worked in the optical program. You notice it doesn't

434
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: say what he did. It bothers me. He got a

435
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: ten year sentence. He must have hurt somebody bad late.

436
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: But after his release he got a license from the

437
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: American Board of a Titianary to manufacture and sell glasses

438
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: and now he owns. He helped open three other eyeglass stores.

439
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: Across the state. No, non h it doesn't say what

440
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: his notice to say what his crime was. All right, now,

441
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: the other thing's happening. And this made news yesterday, which

442
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: also probably raised a few eyebrows. The state of California

443
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: is going to use one hundred million dollars from this

444
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: huge one hundred billion dollar budgets are plus to create

445
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: its own insulin. Apparently the price of insulin has gotten

446
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: so exorbitant that Newsom has decided that we need to

447
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: produce our own in California. Are they going to use

448
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: the same crew there that's making the glasses insuland comes

449
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: three months late you're dead? Yeah, yeah, you're laughing. I

450
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: ardered my insulin in March and come in yet. Sorry.

451
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: He claims that people who have or diabetes and knee

452
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: insulin can spend three hundred to five hundred dollars a

453
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: month out of pocket. Although I heard, you know, somebody

454
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: interviewed today who said it isn't the cost of insulin production,

455
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: it's the whole supply chain that has driven up the costs.

456
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: And I guess the middlemen and the whole transporting it

457
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: crap again, A Newsom said fifty million will go to

458
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: develop low cost insulin products, another fifty million to create

459
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: a California based insulin manufacturing facility. Yeah, they didn't say

460
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: maybe they are going to hire the inmates to go

461
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: there and make well sure the inmates you can't cut

462
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: the glass, you now can have them manufacture insulin. I

463
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: mean that seems to be another precision job, right. You

464
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: got to get that just right or you go into

465
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 1: sugar shock and die. I what's next. The inmates are

466
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: going to get Sidney transplants. We're gonna get We're gonna

467
00:26:54,240 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: trust this, this stupid government to manufacture insulin. Yeah. Apparently

468
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: one of the big makers is Lily Eli. Lily says

469
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: that the average monthly out of pocket costs for their

470
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: insulin has actually decreased forty four percent to twenty one

471
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: dollars and eighty cents over the past five years for

472
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: a month, Yes, monthly out of pocket cost about so

473
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound too bad, but it's not. I mean

474
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: that's l in a month he is twenty two bucks. Yeah. Yeah,

475
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: so I'm questioning is that right, because there's so much

476
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: wailing about the price of insulin and is this is

477
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: this after if you have insurance it is Yeah, that's

478
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: what out of pocket means. Right, Yeah, out of pocket

479
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: means what you have to pay after your insurance coverage.

480
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: What so? What so? What would make an insulin for

481
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: people who don't have insurance? I guess because twenty one

482
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: dollars can't be a problem for anybody. Uh, you'd be

483
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: surprised in this state we have. I see, I saw

484
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: people be grousing about it. I saw I saw twenty

485
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: five people, no exaggeration, lined up the other day for

486
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: Starbucks coffee at six bucks a cup. So it's your

487
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: West Side, Wheenie. No, it's up in Lake garrahead homes,

488
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: vacation homes. No, these are the rich, fat, leisurely. No,

489
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: it's people a long beards. It was locals. We got

490
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: more coming up. You should have seen the guys, Johnny

491
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: K Now, there's still news coming out of Illinois after

492
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: that mass shooting on July fourth, Alex don't ABC news

493
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: for Kfile will come right on the show at four

494
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: h five to give us the latest, which concerns that

495
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen police visit where the shooter threatened to stab

496
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: everybody to death with his collection of knives, and police

497
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: thought he was a clear and present danger, but that

498
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: eventually got scrubbed from the final report, which helped him

499
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: avoid closer scrutinate when he went to buy guns, both

500
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: with his father and then on his own. Today's animal Report,

501
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: Deborah Mark brings us an animal that was introduced into

502
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: the southwestern United States in the fifteen hundreds by the Spaniards,

503
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: do you have any guess? And it came from Africa.

504
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: The Spaniards brought it from Africa, and there's quite a

505
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: few in the Inland Empire and they're the reason we're

506
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: talking about animals. It is the donkey. And apparently we

507
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: have an equine virus which is killing the donkeys. Oh no, yep,

508
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: they need vaccines. Is it? Donkey pox? Is not donkey pox.

509
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: It's described as an equine because they're from the horse family,

510
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: as you probably know. And some call them burrows, but

511
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: that's just the Spanish word for donkey brows, horsebox. Um,

512
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: it could be horse pods to anything. And it sounds funny,

513
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: doesn't it. There is a big donkey sanctuary out on

514
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Riverside and they're calling attention to this story because well,

515
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: the donkeys are dying. Oh um. They're saying that this

516
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: time around, it's equine influenza and it started in June.

517
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: Several herds came down with it. They should be wearing masks.

518
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: One of the you're right and socially distances. Where's Barbara Ferrare.

519
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: Why don't we send her down to the donkeys hand

520
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: out the masks. When they're really sick, they will sit

521
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: or lay down more. You'll actually see them down more.

522
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: But they noticed a couple of years ago when another

523
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: virus came around, it was different, and this one sounds weird.

524
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Now they're exhibiting symptoms where they could be lying under

525
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: a tree not standing. So we go to a system,

526
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: they stand up and then they just die. Oh gosh,

527
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: we don't make them stand up. Then, well, that's kind

528
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: of cruel. They're probably gonna die anyone. Do you see

529
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: how it spreads, Yes, knees are a cough these. Well. Also,

530
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: if they gather at a watering hole and they have

531
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: a nasal discharge, they shed the virus, stick the whole

532
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: nose and face it. That's right, the nasal discharge, the

533
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: virus gets in the water and they consume it that way,

534
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: So the donkeys are sucking in the other donkeys nasal discharges.

535
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh so don't don't, don't, don't stick your nose on

536
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: a donkey watering hole. Okay, thanks, Okay, just this particular

537
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: equine influenza is not infectious to humans, although then they

538
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: tell us that with COVID and sure actually got transmitted

539
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: to some animals. But anyway, that's the origins of it.

540
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: So Donkey Land is looking for help getting the vaccines

541
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: to the donkeys. So they're not planning on doing anything

542
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: terrible in terms of oh, you mean calling them like

543
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: shooting the dunkeys. No, it doesn't say that it's good

544
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: because this is a sanctuary. I don't think they would do.

545
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: They're just gonna let them die in the hot sun. See,

546
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: because in the chicken business, they need those chickens for

547
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: eggs and they don't want a bunch of them to

548
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,719
Speaker 1: die off before they can control it. So they just

549
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: call the flock and start over her. But they don't

550
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: do that with the sanctuary. No. Well good, I'm glad

551
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: you never know these days. Did you hear her monkey

552
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: pock story in the news, Uh, something about rectel ganaria

553
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: rectel gnaria exactly right now? I didn't catch those two words.

554
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: What what do you have to do to get rectel gnaria? Well,

555
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: anybody have a guess? What does that? Yeah, how do

556
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: you catch that? Uh? This monkey pock story won't go away,

557
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: will it? No? He keeps because it's spreading. There's it's

558
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: not like this tens of thousands of cases. Well because

559
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: because it's hard and no one's died, am I right?

560
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: Tens those terrible lesions that have to explode with pus

561
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: or you may want to die. I didn't read a

562
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: guy who was interviewed that got the monkey pocks, and uh, yeah,

563
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: I didn't like what he went through. He goes, you

564
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: have to basically just wait for them to kind of pop.

565
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh so you got to sit there with the lesions? Yeah,

566
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: pretty much. I guess you could pick them off, and

567
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't do that. Seems like the recteal ganeria

568
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: would hurt, right, Well, that's not I think the context

569
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: of the story, Debmark, is that who they want to

570
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: get the vaccines to the monkey poc to people that

571
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: already have recteal gnaihia. Is there a connection between the

572
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: two or they just figure if you got the gneria,

573
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: they're probably more at risk. You're probably gonna get the

574
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: monkey pox. Oh god, you got the gnorea last Friday.

575
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna be getting the monkey pox next Friday. They

576
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: want to give out the vaccine as well to those

577
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: that are at high risks. I don't know. I would

578
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: stay well the guy, whatever you're doing, stop doing it.

579
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: I'd stay home. Who' I read who was interviewed that

580
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: had the monkey pox? Um? Well, how do I put

581
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: this gently? He went to a big party, I think

582
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: it was Pride. So he met somebody and he and

583
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: he said, I yeah, he probably said I probably should

584
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: have paused because I saw a big blister on his No, no, no,

585
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: no gills, No people are gonna be should not have

586
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh god, I probably should not have gone further than

587
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: you think. You're caught up in the moment. There is

588
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: no moment that good. There's no moment that would condemnation

589
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: from the crowd that would make me go pass. Once

590
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: I see the lesion, that's the stop sign there. I

591
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: don't need any more. Jeez, all right, we take a

592
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: break because we needed Alex Stone will be here. A

593
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 1: clear and present danger is what the cops said about

594
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: the mass shooter in Highland Park, Illinois when they visited him.

595
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen because he was threatening to stab people,

596
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: and well that got scrubbed from the final report. Alex

597
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Stone has more John and Ken Cho. Debra Mark has

598
