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

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

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome, We're on the radio one

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: till four after four o'clock. We turned into a podcast,

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: John and Ken on demand, same as the radio show

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: on the iHeart app, and you get to listen to

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: what you miss. Ken is off Today, we're going to

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: get to that story about how many hundreds of thousands

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: of lots of people moving out of California just in

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: the last year. It's a pretty stunning number, and we'll

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: get to that just a few minutes. First that we're

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: going to talk to Michael Gates. We've had them on

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: the show a number of times. She's the city attorney

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: in Huntington Beach and this is an important story that

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: affects all the cities and towns in California because the

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: news of administration is trying to force individual cities to

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: build enormous numbers of affordable houses units mostly apartments, whether

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: you want to or not. They're trying to get rid

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: of the single family home environment, which is the bedrock

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: of most suburban towns in California. They're anti for a

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: lot of reasons single family homes, and so state mandated

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: high density housing, and they told Huntingdon Beach they got

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: to build thirteen thousand, three hundred and sixty eight units.

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: Huntington Beach said no.

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: And for the moment, there's been a stay of the

26
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: state's lawsuit that would force Huntington Beach to do so.

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: The state sued because Huntington Beach said no, and now

28
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: a judge has stayed the lawsuit. What does all this mean.

29
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk to Michael Gates, now city attorney

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: loss in Huntington Beach. Welcome Michael, How are you good?

31
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: Good? Good to be with you again. Thank you.

32
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: Okay, so I give some of the case.

33
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: But what the state file of a lawsuit really to

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: force you to build thirteen thousand units of housing? I mean,

35
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: that seems so hard to believe when you say it

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: out loud.

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: Well, it's also hard to believe you're right and your

38
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: setup was perfect. It's also hard to believe that. In

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: March of this year, and you guys covered this earlier,

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: so thank you for that. But Attorney General Bonta literally

41
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 4: had a press conference, tip to the cameras and the microphones,

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: to announce that he was going to sue Huntington Beach

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: for not complying with housing law, and so he pounded

44
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: the podium and pointed his finger basically saying, we're coming

45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: after you, Huntington Beach. One of the things that they

46
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 4: did in their lawsuit was invoke government codes that basically

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 4: give they claim preference to an expedited trial.

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: What they wanted was a.

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: Swift judgment against Huntington Beach, and then they wanted to

50
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: and start imposing penalties. They wanted to try to take

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 4: away our municipal powers all of the consequence of not

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: complying with the housing mandates, as you said, But the

53
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: state court judge said not so fast to stay or

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: a stop to the lawsuit entirely because Huntington Beach also

55
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: filed its own massive lawsuit in federal court alleging that

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 4: these high density mandates this thirteen three hundred and sixty eight,

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: as you referenced, which if fully built out at a

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: twenty percent inclusionary rate, would mean that we would nearly

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: increase our entire housing.

60
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: During hunting To Beach by fifty percent. So it's massive.

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: But we're alleging in our federal suit that this entire

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: process and these mandates are unconstitutional. They violate our council

63
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: members free speech, their ability to decide for the city

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: what's best for the city, and that they shouldn't have

65
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: to adopt statements of overriding consideration in order to satisfy sequa.

66
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: So there's a whole variety of things going on, but

67
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: we are pleased by the court's ruling in the state

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: court that the state Bonta is stopped in his tracks

69
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: on his lawsuit, which I think politically for them is

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: pretty devastating because they wanted to make an example out

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: of Huntington Beach and you know, teach other cities throughout

72
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: the state of California that they're serious and they're going

73
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: to punish. So it's nice that we have this reprieve.

74
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: It's nice that we can now focus on the federal

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: case and really address the lack of constitutionality or the

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 4: unconstutionality of these high density mandates in the first place.

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 4: So we think federal court, yeah, this is dictator stuff.

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: This is telling Honeyton Beach whether you're supposed to be

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: a single family home based community an apartment based community,

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: it's forcing you to build housing for thirteen thousand people

81
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: when you don't have the infrastructure to support all that.

82
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really turning your whole city upside down

83
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: just because they said so.

84
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 4: Absolutely. And you know, zoning has always been considered a

85
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: local governing affair, right, Like that's always been what your

86
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: city councils and your planning commissions decide. How do we zone,

87
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: you know, where are we going to put things? How

88
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: are we going to make things harmonious between commercial and residential?

89
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: And the state is like basically throwing all of that

90
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: out the window. Decades and decades and decades of law

91
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: that has dictated or provided for local zoning decisions to

92
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: be made by local officials. They're trying to throw all

93
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: of that out of the window and saying no, basically,

94
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: we're going to make zoning, local zoning decisions here in

95
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: Sacramento for you. So it's absolutely absurd and it makes

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: no sense. Newsom has no idea, and the state legislature

97
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: has no idea. HCD has no idea. What's going on

98
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: on the ground here in Huntington Beach. We've got all

99
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 4: kinds of wetlands to preserve, we've got all kinds of

100
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 4: environmental concerns, and they don't know or care about any

101
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: of that, and we're trying to protect and preserve our

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 4: way of life here, protect and preserve the natural resources.

103
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: That we have.

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: It's an interesting argument you made about what it does

105
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 2: to the city council members right to free speech, because

106
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: it forces the city council members to vote and support

107
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: the issues that Newsom wants implemented.

108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: You're right, and adopt, expressly, adopt sympathetic and justified speech

109
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: to support the decision. So it's literally state compelled speech.

110
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: It's literally state compelled speech. So you talked about dictatorship

111
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: or tyranny.

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: Put it however you want. You're absolutely right.

113
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: This is Sacramento telling our local city council members, who

114
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: were duly, duly elected by our constituents and vested with

115
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 4: discretionary authority to set all that aside in order to

116
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: go along with or speak the state compelled speech.

117
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: So it's absolutely ridiculous, it's absurd.

118
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: What do most of the residents in Huntington Beach think

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: of this?

120
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 4: I can imagine, d well, We're largely residential, We've got

121
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: we have some commercial in world a large, a large

122
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 4: tourist destination. We've got high property ownership. Here, we have

123
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: two hundred thousand residents. We are nearly one hundred percent

124
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: built out already, and so these housing mandates, this mandate

125
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 4: for new housing meta that we have to redevelop. We

126
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: have to take existing developed property and redevelop just to

127
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 4: make NEWSOM happy. And as you can imagine, the residents

128
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: are up in ours and.

129
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: So you'd have to bulldoze single family homes.

130
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: Well, they're targeting right now largely existing commercial So they're

131
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: they're they're taking our commercial corridors and they're they want

132
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: us to put residential, high density overlays over our commercial corridors.

133
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: So it's basically bulldozing development in order to erect high density.

134
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: It's high density development. And we're not falling for this

135
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: narrative that it's affordable.

136
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Housing abs existing businesses.

137
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 4: Well, it's when they're they're incentivizing the developers to come

138
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 4: in and buy up those commercial properties.

139
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 3: They send the businesses on their way to other.

140
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: Locations, and then they redeveloped those into high density.

141
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: They'd have to kick out the existing businesses.

142
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 4: They would have to kick out whoever is in the

143
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: currently developed property. You're right, whether it is residential or

144
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: whether it's commercial you're absolute right.

145
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: Wow, the state completely forcing a makeover of of of

146
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: a city, and.

147
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: Like you said, with the infrastructure issues, imagine what Huntington

148
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: Beach is going to have to experience if it literally

149
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: has to up zone and up build by fifty percent.

150
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 4: Our housing inventory could be fifty percent higher in the

151
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: next few years. If the state gets away with their plans.

152
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: That would create insane traffic just for starters, an overload

153
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: over and loader of the school system.

154
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: Right, And they're going to make our governing more expensive

155
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: because we're going to have to also increase our.

156
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: Public safety by fifty percent.

157
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: So that's all a burden to the taxpayer as well.

158
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 4: All of this is a burden to the taxpayer.

159
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna pay.

160
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: We're going to pay to be punished.

161
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

162
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of cities that are getting

163
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: these mandates correct, right, And are they and are they

164
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: all generally sighting back in court or some saying okay, fine,

165
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: whatever you want.

166
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 4: A lot of them are fighting back in their own ways.

167
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: Some are in court, most are not. And I think

168
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: you know, when it comes to cities like Los Angeles

169
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 4: or San Francisco, they're they're largely embracing these mandates, although

170
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 4: there are lawsuits even in LA and San Francisco pushing

171
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: back on some of these builders remedies and things like that.

172
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 4: But there absolutely is pushback. I think a lot of

173
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: cities have reached out to us and said, you know,

174
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 4: we're very proud of Huntington Beach. You guys are at

175
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: the tip of the spear on this. Somebody has to

176
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 4: stand up for this tyranny, and you guys are doing it.

177
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: Kudos to you.

178
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: The thing, John is, when we when we you know,

179
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: go to court, would prevail, win or lose those cities

180
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: if we were If we win or when we win,

181
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 4: they benefit too. Right, So if we can strike down

182
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: a law as unconstitutional, they benefit from that.

183
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: That outcome so so.

184
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 4: Right, So so I think many of the cities are happy,

185
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 4: they're proud of us, they're supporting us, but they're also

186
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 4: wait and see or watch and see what happens because

187
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: you know they'll benefit without actually you know, putting their

188
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: hat in the ring.

189
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: All right, you're putting up a tremendous fight, Michael, he

190
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: should be very proud of at Huntington Beach residence. Ought'd

191
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: be very proud of what you're doing, because.

192
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that they got to stop covering.

193
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: It, all right.

194
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, we'll keep on top of it, and if you

195
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: learn about any movement in this case, you'll probably obviously

196
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: know before we do, so tell us and we'll continue

197
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 2: covering it.

198
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: Thanks, Sean, have a great day.

199
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: All right.

200
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: There is Michael Gates and he's the city Attorney of

201
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: Huntington Beach. Because Newsom and the Attorney General Arob Bonte

202
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: are trying to force Honey's Beach to build thirteen thousand

203
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: apartment units.

204
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: It would be a fifty.

205
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: Percent increase in the housing just because they say so,

206
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: because they don't like they don't like single family homes

207
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: and they want to create mandatory affordable housing. It's just

208
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: incredible bullying. And plus, Huntington Beach doesn't vote the proper way.

209
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: It's not a big new some Banta stronghold. We've got

210
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: Debora Mark live. Oh, we got another thousand dollars to

211
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: give away in a few minutes, thousand bucks.

212
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

213
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

214
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: Johnny Ken's show Ken is off today and good news.

215
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: You know, it seems more frequently now, we are getting

216
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: stories of people getting so fed up with criminals that

217
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: they are fighting back. They are beating the criminals with

218
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: sticks or tackling them or shooting at them if necessary,

219
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: And that's what we had happened in Mid City, La.

220
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: Listen to this from ABC seven reporter Sophie Flay.

221
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 6: Terrifying surveillance video shows a masked intruder with a gun

222
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 6: run up to this Mid City man about to walk

223
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 6: in his front door. The homeowner pulls out his gun

224
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 6: to defend himself, firing shans at the two intruders, quickly

225
00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 6: entering a shootout.

226
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 7: Decided to try to come at me and come in

227
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 7: the house. But I have a five month old baby

228
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 7: and a wife nanny in the house and that wasn't

229
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 7: gonna happen. There was nothing in my house that was

230
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 7: worth dying for, but I was willing to die for

231
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 7: my family.

232
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 6: The shootout happened Saturday night around seven thirty. The homeowner

233
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 6: walks to the front door, grabbing for his keys. Two

234
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 6: intruders jump the front gate. One intruder runs up to

235
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 6: the front door. The Mid City man throws his tee,

236
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,479
Speaker 6: pulls out his gun and starts shooting.

237
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know why.

238
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 7: I felt someone run up behind me, put some in

239
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 7: my back, and I put a pistol to my back,

240
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 7: and somebody else running up.

241
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 6: When shots are fired, the intruders disperse. One fire's back,

242
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 6: scrambling to hop over the side fence. The other hops

243
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 6: over the front gate and runs away. After the attack,

244
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 6: the family filed a report with the LAPD Olympic Division.

245
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 7: It's amount of time forties people doing get court. I

246
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 7: think they should just pick a new career before they

247
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 7: do it up in jail.

248
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 6: We reached out to LAPD Olympic Division for more information

249
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 6: about the suspects, but did not hear back.

250
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: The thing is, what that guy said is they should

251
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: pick a new career before they end up in jail.

252
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: It's a matter of time before they get caught. Except

253
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: they're not gonna spend much time in jail. See, this

254
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: is the problem. These guys. I'll bet you know ten

255
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: thousand dollars have a long history and may have even

256
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: been recently in jail. And this is what they're doing

257
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 2: every day. Much of the time they get away with it.

258
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: Nobody's home and they just burst in and the grab

259
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: what they want. Somehow they miscalculated with this guy. They

260
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: got sloppy because normally you don't want to bust into

261
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: a house where there's a husband, a wife, a nanny

262
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: and a baby. That's really too much trouble. And you

263
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: don't know if a guy has has a gun. Because

264
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: more and more people are a lot of anti gun people.

265
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: We were just talking about this before off the air.

266
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: Let my anti gun people are buying guns now because

267
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: we don't have a police force that's empowered with protecting us,

268
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: and we don't have a district attorney who prosecutes these

269
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: people and gets them put away in prison for a

270
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: lengthy amount of time.

271
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: It's simple.

272
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: So you have the same people committing crimes every day.

273
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: Like maybe you get up and go to work at

274
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 2: nine in the morning. Well they get up and they

275
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: go to work. They put on their mask and they're hoodie,

276
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: and they load their gun and they jump into a

277
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: car with their buddies and they start casing neighborhoods. And

278
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: see what they do is they try to watch if

279
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: what time you leave the house, or if you left

280
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: the house, if they see a whole family piling into

281
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: a car. Let's say, you know, it's a Sunday afternoon.

282
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: Now they know that house is vacant, or if they

283
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: see that, oh every morning, he gets in the car

284
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: at seven thirty and the wife gets in the car

285
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: at eight thirty, and they know they can do it daytime,

286
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: they can do it at nighttime. Even people's all these

287
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: security measures that people take doesn't keep crime from happening

288
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: because the police don't follow up. And even if a

289
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: guy's caught, he doesn't go to prison for any significant time.

290
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: So what if they're on video? So what if an

291
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: alarm's going off? What does it matter? There's not even

292
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: going to be bail in many of the cases. Every

293
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: one of these characters knows this, and we repeat this

294
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: almost every day, and nothing's done.

295
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: It's shocking.

296
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: Now.

297
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: I do know of some neighborhoods that are gathering together

298
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: and they're going to be forming not they're going to

299
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: be forming their own like political group to go after

300
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: local officials, council members, even the mayor. There are many,

301
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: many people upset, And I'm not here to give advice

302
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: to political officials because they're dumb as rocks. But I'm

303
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: telling you, you don't know what's coming.

304
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: Soon.

305
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a rebellion from the normal people. Soon

306
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: they're not people are not going to live like this.

307
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: So Karen bass Auto and get guess going ought to

308
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: get together and have lunch for your own good, your

309
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: own political futures. Stop this nonsense, because I'm telling you

310
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: the normal people have had it. I know this. You'll

Speaker 2: see all right when we come back. It's all tied together.

312
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: It's all related. You know how many hundreds of thousands

313
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: of people left California last year.

314
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: It's a big number. I'll give you the big number

315
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: coming up.

316
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

317
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: Am six forty.

318
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: We're on the radio from one until four after four

319
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: o'clock John and Cann on demand. That's the podcast. You

320
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: can get on the iHeart app in case you missed stuff.

321
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: We had a lot of good things today. In fact,

322
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: two o'clock, how we had a former Fox correspondent to

323
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: Adam Housley on to talk about how the Los Angeles

324
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: Times is taking the Housley family to court and it's

325
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: involving the Borderline shooting in Thousand Oaks, the Borderline bar

326
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 2: and Grill.

327
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: I Met shooting.

328
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: It's five years ago this week a lot of people

329
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 2: were shot dead, including Adam Howsley's niece, and The Times

330
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: and some other media outlets inexplicably demanded the autopsy reports,

331
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: even though everyone knew how all these people died. They

332
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: died of the gunshot was right, there was no mystery,

333
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: no controversy, and in forty states, families have the right

334
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: to keep those reports private for obvious reasons. Not in California.

335
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: That's a whole other story. But the La Times pushed

336
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: it in court eventually won because there is no law

337
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: in California protecting the privacy of crime victims and their families.

338
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: But what really is galling Adam Housley and the rest

339
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: of the family is that Patrick Sun Chiang's newspaper, mister

340
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: multi billionaire, is demanding that the Housley family pay the

341
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: La Times legal fees for the dispute. The Times started this,

342
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: they stuck with the lawsuit as it wound its way

343
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: through the courts because both sides won at judgments at

344
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: different times during the case. Eventually, the Times prevailed, and

345
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 2: now they want the Housley family to pay the money

346
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: to Sun Chiang's company. It is galling and disgusting, and

347
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: everybody at The Times ought to be ashamed of themselves,

348
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: but we know they have no shame anyway. That was

349
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 2: in the two o'clock hour and you should hear that

350
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: on the podcast. There is a piece today in The

351
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: Times about hundreds of thousands of Californians that have moved

352
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 2: out of California just in twenty twenty two. Right, they

353
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: have the statistics for twenty twenty two, eight hundred and

354
00:18:54,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: eighteen thousand people left. My goodness, there's thirty nine plus

355
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 2: million and eight hundred and eighteen thousand moved out of

356
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: the state. Four hundred and seventy six thousand moved in.

357
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: A lot of the people are going to Texas. One

358
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: hundred thousand Californians moved to Texas. In fact, there's a

359
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: Facebook group that is a Facebook group devoted to Californians

360
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: moving to Texas. And this Facebook group has forty five

361
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: thousand people in it. Good lord. The woman they profiled

362
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 2: is Jane Jordan. She sold her home in Corona and

363
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: she moved to Asle, Texas. She's sixty one. She wanted

364
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren and they're

365
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: moving to Texas as well. So Jane is following them,

366
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: and this Facebook group, in case you're interested, is a

367
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: community that will help you choose the right moving company,

368
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: even which route to take for the drive from here

369
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: to there. It's thirteen hundred and sixty miles. And she

370
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: found out once she got to asl or maybe it's Asley.

371
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that her neighbor also moved from Jordan's

372
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: same neighborhood in Corona. You have two people from the

373
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: same neighborhood in Corona moving to the same street in Asley,

374
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: and Jordan has found there's a lot of people from

375
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: California moving here. One hundred thousand moved to Texas Florida.

376
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: Seventy five thousand people went from California to Florida. Fifty

377
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: thousand moved from California to Washington, Nevada. I'm sorry, Uh yeah, Washington, Nevada,

378
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 2: and you know it was the least popular state for Californians.

379
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: Virginia I've never been. I have to go next year

380
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: for a wedding to West Virginia. Yeah, you have relatives there.

381
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: No, they live in Virginia, but they're doing it at

382
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: an event space in West Virginia.

383
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen people in West Virginia? Yeah, I have.

384
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: There was actually a story. Yeah, that crazy family with

385
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: all the inbreeding, that's right. Did you see the photos

386
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: of those people? Yeah, you see the phone.

387
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 8: I'm surprised that they had two eyes, one nose, two ears,

388
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 8: missing a lot of teeth though.

389
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of dadal issues in West Virginia.

390
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: You guys are bad, You're bad. Well, they're inbreads. I'm

391
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: not saying anything.

392
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: The story was about them being inbreds, right, that was

393
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: the whole purpose of the story. It's science, you know,

394
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: there's only so much you can do to those chromosomes

395
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: and they start breaking apart. West Virginia also has a

396
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 2: tremendous amount of opioid addiction.

397
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: I bet there are not very many vegans there. No, no,

398
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: they eat vega.

399
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 9: I know, That's what I thought.

400
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: The only.

401
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: The state that buck the trend the most is New Jersey.

402
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 2: More people moved from Jersey to California than from California

403
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: to Jersey because there's no reason to move.

404
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: To New Jersey. I was gonna say you you of

405
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: all people I know.

406
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: That I spent Yeah, I grew up there and worked

407
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: a lot there in Jersey, and there is not one

408
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: day the first day I moved to California, I was

409
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: really happy to be here, and I never missed Jersey,

410
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: not for a minute, like, not even a second. I'd

411
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: never had of this as years ago by I'm a

412
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: little wistful about the Jersey Shore.

413
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: Because that's it. I've never been to the Jersey Shore.

414
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: But if I go a half mile in from the beach,

415
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: I stopped missing the state.

416
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: And it's.

417
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: So the thing is in Texas now. The housing prices

418
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: are soaring and people are starting to have to move

419
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: to the suburbs and what they call the ex surbs,

420
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: that would be the outer ring around the city, which

421
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: is what's happened here in California. Obviously, you know, people

422
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: move to Riverside, San Bernardino and beyond, and then they

423
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: have those ridiculous commutes into Los Angeles and Orange County.

424
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: But the same thing is starting to happen in Texas

425
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 2: because so many people are moving in. Number one reason

426
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: is housing, and number two is the politics. In California.

427
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: It's a lot of Republican and conservative people moving to Texas.

428
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: There used to be this fear that Texas was going

429
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: to become more democratic if Californians leave. No the Californians

430
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: that are leaving are not Democrats. They're leaving because the

431
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 2: Democrats have run everything for decades now and their policies

432
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: have and the politics is the el segundo bias there.

433
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: The politics is what creates all the crime and all

434
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: the vagrants, the mental patients running around in the streets

435
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 2: because in normal states, you are simply not allowed to

436
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: behave this way.

437
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: You just can't.

438
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 2: You are removed from the streets and you are put somewhere.

439
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: And the same thing with the criminals, they are put

440
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: in jails and prisons. The mental patients, you got to

441
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: go to mental hospitals. You got to go into some

442
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: kind of treatment. You certainly can't stay here. You can't

443
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: stay here, and if you go to civilized states. I

444
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: was talking to somebody over the weekend who as a

445
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: because you know, you know, the preaching from starting with

446
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: Garcetti and Karen Bass does this is we have to

447
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: take care of our fellow Angelinos, our neighbors who have

448
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: fallen into homelessness, falling into homelessness. Well, I was talking

449
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: to somebody who works as a hospital at the hospital,

450
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: a hospital as a volunteer in the emergency room. So

451
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: they get a good number of vagrants and lunatics coming in.

452
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: She said, every one of them is from out of state,

453
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: every one of them from out of the city. She goes,

454
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 2: it's complete bs that these are fellow Angelinos.

455
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: No, they're not.

456
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: But they've been tossed out by their families and given

457
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 2: up on because they're crazy drug addicts for the most part,

458
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: are their mental patients, which makes sense. Eventually, you got

459
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: to give up on those people, even if they're family.

460
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: They go to LA because they get everything they want.

461
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: Well in normal states like Texas, that simply doesn't Nobody

462
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: puts up with it. No, I never saw this in

463
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: New Jersey. Never saw it at all in New Jersey.

464
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: Frequently go to Florida now, never see it in Florida.

465
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: You may get one stray bum wandering around, but these

466
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: gigantic encampments just simply don't exist. And if you oh, oh,

467
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: they talk about the gas prices right, all right, gas

468
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: prices about five bucks a gallon right now, gallon gas

469
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: in Texas two dollars and ninety one cents, two dollars

470
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: ninety one that's the average price.

471
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: We're so ripped off.

472
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 2: Average price in California five eighteen, five eighteen to two

473
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: ninety one.

474
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: I was in Florida. It was three on nine was

475
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: the price? So im, why don't you do something about that?

476
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 7: I want you to figure out the gas problem crisis

477
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 7: here and change it.

478
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 1: Let us go back to two dollars a gallon gas prices.

479
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to appoint a Blue Ribbon commission. You are

480
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: and a task force?

481
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: Okay?

482
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 3: Good?

483
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: Back to Eric. You're going to be in charge of

484
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 2: the task force. Sign me up, and Debor you're in

485
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: charge of the Blue Ribbon Commission.

486
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: Okay, all right.

487
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: I want to report by Friday. How do you go

488
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 2: from two ninety one to five eighteen and there's no

489
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: action by the governor, no action by the legislature here

490
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 2: or something. But people, you know, if you don't travel much,

491
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 2: you don't don't know this.

492
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: Where are the protesters?

493
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

494
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: Where are the protesters?

495
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

496
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 1: Can they protest some other stuff?

497
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: Now? Yeah?

498
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: All the protests are at things that normal people don't

499
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: care about. Normal people don't run out in the streets

500
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: to support terrorists who are conducting massacres. What you ought

501
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: to be out in the street over is the gas

502
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: is five dollars eighteen cents and in Texas it's two

503
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: ninety one. All right, more coming up John and Ken

504
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 2: show KFI.

505
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

506
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

507
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: I so wish that the Trump the trial, the civil

508
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: trial in New York was being televised because based on

509
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 2: these there's no audio, there's no video, so it's hard

510
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: to do any kind of in depth coverage. Trump apparently

511
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: went nuts, and so did the judge in this case.

512
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: The judge in the cases Arthur and gern and the

513
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: he apparently got into it with Trump, and Trump was

514
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: pissed off. The Trump attorney, Elina Habba, came out and

515
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: complained that the judge was rude to her. I was

516
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: told to sit down today, I was yelled at, and

517
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: I have that. I had a judge who was unhinged,

518
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: slamming a table, and I let me be very clear,

519
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 2: I don't tolerate that in my life, and I'm not

520
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: going to tolerate that here and Trump apparently went off

521
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: on a tirade against the Attorney General Letitia James, was

522
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: calling her a hack. The judge at one point told

523
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: Trump to basically stop giving political speeches during his testimony

524
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: and didn't at some point indicated he didn't want to

525
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: hear any more about what Trump had to say. So

526
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: these are all fragment fragmentary reports that have come out

527
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: throughout the day, and uh looks like it was unlike

528
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: any normal witness, judge exchange in the history of of courtrooms.

529
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: So we'll more on that tomorrow when they put the

530
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: whole story together. Ah, we've got Conway danged wrong with you.

531
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: You know, those charges brought up against Trump have never

532
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: been brought up to on anybody in the history of

533
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: the state of New York.

534
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: I know that.

535
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: I just heard that today. It is that he inflated

536
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: the worth of his uh his companies.

537
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: You do that, I do that. Everyone does it.

538
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: But no insurance companies complained, and no mortgage companies don't.

539
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 8: Nobody lost any money. Nobody lost any money. There was

540
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 8: no crime. Where's the victim? No victim, no crime. Yeah,

541
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 8: technically you're not supposed to do that. Well, look, technically

542
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 8: you're not supposed to fly a plane after a shot

543
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 8: of whiskey. How many guys do that if there's no victim.

544
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 8: I don't think there's a crime. Like I have a

545
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 8: tough time selling this one though, When a pilot of

546
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 8: a commercial airliner flies drunk and he makes it, I'm like,

547
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 8: there really no victim.

548
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: Guy, God is there?

549
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: Guy?

550
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: God is there?

551
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: So?

552
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: What the hell? Today?

553
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 8: We've got a lucky jackpot winner at the ex Caliber,

554
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 8: probably a guy who needed it, you know what I mean? Right,

555
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 8: won twelve million dollars on a slot machine. Wow, that

556
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 8: is cool. And then we also have a lot of

557
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 8: lithium batteries going exploding and catching on fire on planes.

558
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 8: We'll find out what's wrong, what's going on there? And

559
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 8: then sag after last offer, last call. If they don't

Speaker 8: Then hire guys off the street to do that.

564
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen, all right. I don't know, I

565
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,800

00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 8: I haven't either, I mean since day one, and I

575
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 8: think it's because I used to be a smoker that

576
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 8: that helped me out. I heard smoking or booze and caffeine,

577
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 8: No cafe. Nicotine and caffeine are also that also provides protection.
