Speaker 2: so I forget he's here. I know it's fair, And

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: sometimes he sneaks out and goes home and.

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 7: He doesn't like his picture taken.

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 8: He doesn't want to be he doesn't want any online presence.

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: It's better for us that way it is. He has

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: to do the stuff that I don't want to know about.

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: Well and welcome. We got two rounds of the Moistline,

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: last one of the year. They're gonna it's gonna be

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: a three twenty and three point fifty Moistline will be

36
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty five, but this will be the

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: end of the year round up. We have a pull out.

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: Where was this? We put this on what Instagram? Instagram?

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Is it still running or is this the final total?

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 9: Oh?

41
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, no. You can still vote however, for however long

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: you want. It's a good question.

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: Is it acceptable for the US president to work from

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: only ten am to four pm? Ninety six percent said no,

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: it is unacceptable. We deserved better. Only four percent said yes,

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's the official verdict of the audience.

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: Ninety six percent. No, it is unacceptable for the US president.

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: I read a few articles today about what is the

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: point of having a press corps if nobody bothered to

50
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: write or broadcast any stories about Biden's obvious decline.

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean a few people did.

52
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: We had our own iHeart reporter on with us yesterday

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: and he said he had done some stories about Biden's

54
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: fail condition, but man, ninety five percent of the news

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: media just ignored it.

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: And I've been I've been fascinated by this.

57
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: Because if this is really one of the biggest scandals

58
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: ever involving a presidency, that you had four years of

59
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: a guy in severe decline, we don't have any idea

60
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: who specifically was running the White House or running policy,

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: whether it was one people, a committee of three, whether

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: there were twelve different people on twelve different fronts. And

63
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: nobody seems to want to explain this. And there is

64
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: a guy, and I've seen him. His name is Chris Saliza,

65
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: and he used to work on CNN and the Washington Post.

66
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: He was a political reporter there and then he was

67
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: a CNN editor at large whatever that means. Finally left

68
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: the network a couple of years ago. Now I guess

69
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: he's doing his own thing. He's got a YouTube page,

70
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: and he finally admitted that he didn't do any reporting

71
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: on what now is obvious and was obvious. Then, like

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: we told you yesterday, we started. We first commissioned the Bidenville,

73
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: the biden Deville script back in November of twenty twenty,

74
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: just a few days after he got elected, and then

75
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: we started running it in January twenty twenty one, I think,

76
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: the week that he was inaugurated. We created Bidenville, you know,

77
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: which was supposed to be imaginary. It was supposed to

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 2: be satiric, satirical funny. Turned out it was real. The

79
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: White House was a nursing home the entire time, and

80
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: we knew it because we used our eyes. But everybody

81
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: in Washington pretended that he was, and they would go

82
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: on television repeatedly, people in the news media, people.

83
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: In the White House.

84
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, he's sharp, he's energetic, he runs circles

85
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: around people half his age.

86
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: You heard all the cliches, you.

87
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: Know, and still like, you know, forty eight percent of

88
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: the country was willing to vote for him, you know,

89
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 2: up until that he pitched forward on the stage. Anyway,

90
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: let's play a minute or so of Crystaliza admitting in

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: this YouTube cast, basically he defrauded the public all these years.

92
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: Anybody who followed who read his stuff, watched his stuff,

93
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: trusted that he was a good Washington political reporter.

94
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: He defrauded you listen.

95
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 9: As a reporter, I have a confession to make.

96
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 6: I should have pushed harder earlier for more information about

97
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 6: Joe Biden's mental and physical well being and any signs

98
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 6: of decline. Republicans would regularly ping me and.

99
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 10: Say, I want to ask more questions of Joe Biden

100
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 10: and how he's doing.

101
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 9: He's seventy six, seventy seven, seventy.

102
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 10: Eight year old man, and I would sort of brush

103
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 10: them off because what I would say is, well, there's.

104
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 9: No obvious evidence that he's declining.

105
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 10: A White House and the people around Joe Biden were

106
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 10: absolutely adamant that suggesting anything asking the question about whether

107
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 10: he was in some physical, mental, or both decline was offensive.

108
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 9: How could you age shaming?

109
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Age shaming?

110
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 9: That impacted me at some level?

111
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: You wiener? Yep, he put a little sniveling wiener. Oh,

112
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: it impacted me age shaming. I don't want to engage

113
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: in age shaming.

114
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: H you can see how the wolk virus wormed its

115
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: way into his little brain.

116
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: Huh.

117
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: Really?

118
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: I saw another quote by another reporter who was asked

119
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: a similar question, and she said, well, the White House

120
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: was really really good at intimidating people. I said, what

121
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: the hell are you talking about. You're a journalist, You're

122
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: a reporter. You're supposed to write what you see, write

123
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: what you know. Of course they're going to push back

124
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: and yell at you, because there are a bunch of wires.

125
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Since look, all.

126
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: He did is repeat whatever the White House gave him.

127
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: I didn't see any evidence.

128
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: Oh, outside of your eyesight, I guess, didn't you notice

129
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: all the times he was stumbling? I mean, all right,

130
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: played Bidenville. I mean, I mean, we don't exactly have

131
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: a Washington bureau here. We just would watch TV every

132
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: day and look through the news stories for video clips.

133
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: And here's what we found over the years.

134
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 11: We'd like to formally welcome you to the rest home

135

00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 11: John Cobalt.

160
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: He was introducing dead people.

161
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 2: He was claiming he just had a photo taken with

162
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: a woman who wasn't even in the state. He mixed

163
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: up the president of Mexico with the president of somewhere else.

164
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: Egypt.

165
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: It isn't in the difference between the Egyptian and the

166
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: Mexican president, and Chris Saliza Washington Post and CNN said

167
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: he didn't see any evidence. How could that possibly be

168
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: he would mispronounce the names of his own cabinet members.

169
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: In fact, I I can't even remember.

170
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: What Xavier Bessara's real name is half the time because

171
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 2: I I try to think of it. It's like, oh, yeah,

172
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: Javier Bakaria, that's that's that's what we started calling the

173
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: guy here. Oh, by the way, Javier Bacaia wants to

174
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: run for governor, so that's gonna be great.

175
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Jabber Bakaria.

176
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if he runs for governor, that's that's

177
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: what we're gonna call him every single time. Hobbyer Bakaria,

178
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 2: Pavier Bachariah unbelieved. I mean, what do you mean, you

179
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: didn't see any evidence? So so the White House would

180
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: yell at this guy and other reporters and they got afraid.

181
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: I think Woodward and Bernstein went after the Nixon White House.

182
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure they got bad phone calls too.

183
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 9: You guys are bad.

184
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: You just you'll just print the truth anyway. You print

185
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: what you see, you print what's obvious, that's what they

186
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: They wouldn't do that. Well, I mean, who needs the

187
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: entire media complex in Washington. They're just a bunch of lazy, stupid,

188
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: cowardly liars, they really are. I'm surprised that they still

189
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: have thirty percent credibility in the polls. They should have

190
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: zero percent. They spent four and then everybody in the

191
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: White House is part of the conspiracy to cover it up.

192
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: The president was basically incapacitated much of the time. He

193
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: was eighteen hours a day. You couldn't reach him. He

194
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: only worked from ten to four, and hardly everybody I

195
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: remember when he was stumbling around he couldn't He couldn't

196
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: remember I think one of his cabinet members and or somebody,

197
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: some official in government, and he ended up saying the

198
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: black guy.

199
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: He was reduced to.

200
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: Like describe them, describing them by skin color because he

201
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: couldn't remember their names. But I didn't see any evidence. Well,

202
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: if you ever see Chris Saliza's name on anything ever, again,

203
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: don't believe it. Maybe he got a bad phone call

204
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: that morning. We got more coming up.

205
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Belts on demand from KFI AM

206
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: six forty.

207
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: Did you see the Luigi the Luigi Mangioni crowd yesterday

208
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 2: outside the courthouse in New York City. Did you see

209
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: the idiots who are dressed up in uh Luigi hats

210
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: the Mario Brothers super Mario Brothers character. If you don't

211
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: know Super Mario Brothers, it won't make any sense. It's

212
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: kind of funny. It's kind of funny, but these are

213
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: These are like a grown couple, actually a fat couple

214
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: from Indiana to be perfectly blind. They show up and

215
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: they're wearing these bright green hats with the Luigi cartoon

216
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: character on them. It's like, what, who does this? Did

217
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: they travel from Indiana? Did they get so excited by

218
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: Mangioni killing that healthcare executive that they jump into their car,

219
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: they get on a plane, they buy a Luigi hat

220
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: and they're standing outside the courthouse.

221
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: People do this? I just I don't understand.

222
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: By the way I saw today on the National Review,

223
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: they had a story and this is probably gonna stunt everybody.

224
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: Do you know eighty one percent of the country is

225
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: happy with their health insurance.

226
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: They are Now.

227
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: When you do a poll and say what do you

228
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: think of the health care industry or the health insurance industry,

229
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: everybody goes. But if you ask them all about your

230
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: particular policy, are you happy with the way you're covered?

231
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: And eighty one percent say yes, I'm happy with my

232
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: particular coverage. It's kind of like the polling about Congress

233
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: by everybody hates Congress. How do you feel about your

234
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: own congressman? Oh, my own congressman is doing great. Congress

235
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: on an individual by individual basis, they all have high

236
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: approval ratings, right, of course they do. They both they

237
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: got elected. But Congress as a mass wildly unpopular. Well,

238
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: the same thing with health insurance companies. You're happy with

239
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: your policy with your company the industry as a whole. Ah,

240
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: it's terrible, isn't it? So what's your What I read

241
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: is about eighty percent of the country thinks that what

242
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: MANGIONI did was wrong.

243
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Good.

244
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: But now we've got that subset and these are people

245
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: under thirty forty percent said it was acceptable to shoot

246
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: the healthcare executive. We went through that poll the other day,

247
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: and I'm thinking this has got to be they have

248
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: to be so overwhelmed, because it's clear that they are

249
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: not watching regular news anymore at all. In any way.

250
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: Of course, regular news is full of lies too. See

251
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: where were at a dead end here. There's nothing you

252
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: can trust. I tell you one thing not to trust

253
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: is whatever you're giving it on, whatever you're being told

254
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: on TikTok about how the world works. If you're getting

255
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: your cues from tech tik, can you end up saying

256
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: it's okay to shoot people in the back on New

257
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: York City streets, then maybe they need they do need

258
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 2: to ban TikTok. I mean, if that's the outcome. By

259
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: the way, TikTok is going to be banned on January nineteenth,

260
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: unless something extraordinary happens because the US government and this

261
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: this bill has already passed through the Congress, House, and Senate,

262
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: and Biden signed it in January nineteenth, Uh, TikTok goes

263
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: dark unless the Supreme Court intervenes and puts a hold

264
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: on the law until they can sort things out. And

265
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: the fight is over. TikTok their right to their First

266
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: Amendment rights to have a social media platform, and the

267
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: US government says no, it supersedes their right is national security.

268
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: And everybody I hear in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans,

269
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: are absolutely convinced it is a massive spy operation. TikTok

270
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: is a saying, you know, Sarah trying to go after

271
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: Facebook or or Instagram or Twitter or anything like that.

272
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: It is it is TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese.

273
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: So the Chinese can either sell to an American company

274
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: or they have to suspend their business, shut down their

275
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: business entirely here.

276
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: And you know in China they don't allow TikTok.

277
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: They don't allow the children to absorb TikTok in China

278
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: because what would happen is all kinds of crazy stuff

279
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: would spread and next thing, you know, the government would

280
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: be overthrown. So they know how influential this could be

281
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: with young minds. But the whole thing originally was just

282
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: set up a spy operation to gather as much intelligence

283
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: about Americans as possible. Now I don't know specifically what

284
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: that is, and nobody's ever explained it all these political

285
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: critics in Washington, so I don't know if they don't

286
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: have anything, or they've got really really bad stuff and

287
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: they don't want to say it out loud. Kind of

288
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: like the drone situation. I can't figure out if the

289
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: drones really are benign. But now new Jersey is sending

290
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 2: out a shoot to kill orders on any drones in

291
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: the sky that violate certain airspace in various counties. And

292
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: because you can't trust any of the reporting and you

293
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: can't trust the government, you don't know what's going on.

294
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: You don't know what opinion to have anymore. You don't

295
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: know what's good news and what's bad news. But unless

296
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court issues a stay, TikTok is going dark

297
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: on January nineteenth, and the Chinese don't want to sell

298
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: it to a US company because that's not why they

299
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: got into this business. They got into this business in

300
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: order to gather all our private information. We come back

301
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: a little more celebration of Prop thirty six going into

302
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: effect yesterday. We're going to talk with the California District

303
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: to Turn Association president. That's Greg Totten, former Venttura County DA.

304
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: Greg was on with us a number of times before,

305
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 2: and it was prop for Prop thirty six was their idea,

306
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: that was their baby, and we collectively got it passed

307
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: and Greg and I are going to speak about it next.

308
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.

309

Speaker 2: the radio show. He could pick up whatever you missed.

313
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: Yesterday was the day Prop thirty six went into effect.

314
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: And so now stealing stuff that's a crime again. You

315
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: can go to prison. Also, drug possession, drug use in public,

316
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: that's a crime again.

317
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: You can get treatment or you go to jail.

318
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: And if you're fetanyel dealer and you kill some buddy,

319
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: next time something happens, you could go to prison too.

320
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: And in Orange County the proposition passed with almost seventy

321
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: five percent of the vote, and in La County passed

322
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: with almost sixty five percent of the vote. San Berdidino

323
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: on the riverside, more than seventy three percent of people

324
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: said yes, So it was an overwhelming victory for the

325
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: La County District Attorney's Association. I'm sorry the California District

326
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: Attorney's Association and their leader, Greg Totten, and he used

327
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: to be the DA in Ventura County. We had him

328
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: on a number of times as his organization launched this proposition.

329
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 2: Let's get him on here celebrate a little. Greg, How

330
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: are you.

331
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 13: I'm terrific, John, how are you?

332
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm great.

333
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm feeling optimistic about a lot of things.

334
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 2: And one thing I'm very optimistic about now is more

335
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: bad guys are going to go to jail in prison.

336
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: And we got Nathan Hackman to enforce the law now county.

337
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: So life was going to get better.

338
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 13: Yes, as one of my colleagues said, election Day this

339
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 13: year was a trifecta for criminal justice. Nathan Hoffman became

340
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 13: the new DA of La County. Pamela Price was recalled

341
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 13: in Alameda County and Proposition thirty six passed by an

342
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 13: extraordinary landslide margin.

343
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: When this proposition was conceived, and of course, you know

344
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: these ideas had been batted around for a while, the

345
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: idea of repealing these elements of Prop. Forty seven from

346
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: ten years ago. You probably did early polling. You knew

347
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: if you could get it on the ballot and it

348
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 2: was worded properly, this thing could win.

349
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 13: Yes, we did some early preliminary polling that revealed something

350
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 13: that continued to be true throughout the entirety of the campaign,

351
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 13: and that was that California has done with the experiments

352
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 13: with its criminal justice and they're done with the issues

353
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 13: of lawlessness and retail theft, and they also want this

354
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 13: issue of homelessness and people going untreated for serious drug

355
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 13: issues addressed as well. And those survey results continued to

356
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 13: bear out as we went through the campaign and of

357
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 13: course an election day, this initiative, in unprecedented fashion, was

358
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 13: approved by the voters in every single county throughout the

359
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 13: state of California, from the most liberal and progressive jurisdictions

360
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 13: to the more conservative jurisdictions. Californians overwhelmingly supported Prop thirty six.

361
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 13: And now we're charging forward to implement this initiative and

362
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 13: a thoughtful, in his effective way to accomplish the promise,

363
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 13: the true promise of Proposition thirty six.

364
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: Do you think there are any forces that are still

365
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: going to try to undermine actually getting people back into prison.

366
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 13: Well, I'm hopeful that given the extent of the election victory,

367
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 13: that some of our opposition will take that to heart

368
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 13: and help us implement this initiative in a way that

369
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 13: is consistent with what the voters will is. But we're

370
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 13: going to be prepared for just about anything that comes.

371
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 13: The law was carefully written. We feel it's pretty bullet proof,

372
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 13: and we feel it will be effectively implemented by law enforcement,

373
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 13: by retailers, and by prosecutors.

374
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: That's I was wondering if there any organizations who might

375
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: try to file a lawsuit to block it. That often

376
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: happens after propositions pass and then they get held up

377
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: in court for a certain amount of time and you

378
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: never know what kind of nutty judge you get. But

379
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: I haven't heard about any of that happening with Prop

380
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 2: thirty six. Haven't heard that there are any uh, you know,

381
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: we're criminal reform organizations that are going to try to

382
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: muck things up.

383
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 13: Well, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have some

384
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 13: level of litigation. I mean, certainly we can safely assume

385
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 13: that at the tel court letter level where we're implementing

386
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 13: these provisions, the defense bar will try to challenge it.

387
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 13: I think they largely will be unsuccessful, but that's that's

388
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 13: part of their job, and we expect them to do

389
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 13: it and we're prepared for that.

390
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: Are people going to be able to see the difference

391
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: at some point? I mean, I know it takes a

392
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: while for this to filter through the system, because you know,

393
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: They're not going to be rounding people up and throw

394
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: the throwing them in jail tomorrow morning. You know, they're

395
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: they It's like on the third on the third theft,

396
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: they could be charged with a felony. The third time

397
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: they're hit with their drug possession charge, it could be

398
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: a felony and you go to prison or you take treatment.

399
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: So there's going to be a little lag before we

400
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: see a noticeable difference.

401
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a great question, John, and I will just

402
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 13: say to everyone of your listeners, we have to recognize

403
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 13: and acknowledge that with Proposition forty seven that was approved

404
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 13: in twenty fourteen, it really took us eight to ten

405
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 13: years to get to this point of this open lawlessness

406
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 13: and the issues that have been so frustrating for every

407
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 13: citizen in California. It's going to take us time to

408
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 13: implement it. We actually had a very large roundtable that

409
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 13: included retailers, large and small small business, members of the

410
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 13: real estate industry, as well as law enforcement, crime victim

411
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 13: organizations das. That was just last week in Hollywood, and

412
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 13: we're busily putting together recommendations to all of those respective

413
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 13: entities for the thoughtful implementation of this it's going to

414
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 13: take it some time. Consumers should not expect to immediately

415
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 13: see products go from behind locked doors. But at the

416
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 13: same time, we have tremendous confidence that we're going to

417
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 13: be able to focus our resources on the worst offenders,

418
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 13: hold them accountable, and incapacitate them through incarceration. We also

419
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 13: are very confident that, to the extent we can get

420
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 13: people into meaningful treatment programs, we're going to reduce homelessness.

421
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 13: It's going to take time to see those results, but

422
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 13: we are committed and we are moving forward just as

423
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 13: rapidly as we can do.

424
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: You think the criminal element is going to get the

425
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 2: message here because they got the message when Prop. Forty

426
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: seven passed and the laws were loosened, and they became

427
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 2: very aware that they could walk into a place and

428
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: steal nine hundred and fifty dollars worth of stuff and

429
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 2: nobody was going to bother them. Is the reverse true?

430
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: Are they going to be aware now that they're being

431
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: watched and if they if they steal too many times,

432
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: that they're going to see prison.

433
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's a very interesting question. I actually attended a

434
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 13: celebration event, a holiday event with a number of franchise

435
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 13: Ese small business owners who are franchisees of convenience stores,

436
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 13: and I was at I told them it was going

437
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 13: to take time, and I'd say ten to fifteen of

438
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 13: them came up to me afterwards and said, Greg, we're

439
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 13: already seeing it. It's already changing. We're already seeing that

440
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 13: just from a cultural standpoint, a criminal cultural standpoint. They're

441
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 13: getting the message and things that are already starting to change.

442
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 13: So for me, I was very encouraging to hear that

443
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 13: and my own experience. I mean, I've been in this

444
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 13: profession for more than four decades, and people who commit

445
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 13: crimes already quickly figure out that things have changed, and

446
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 13: so to speak, there's a new sheriff in town and

447
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 13: new levels of consequences, and the smart ones change their

448
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 13: behavior as a consequence.

449
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: One more.

450
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 2: Do you think in Sacramento, Newsom and the Democratic legislature

451
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: realized that this game is over? Or do you think

452
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: they're going to try to come back with some kind

453
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: of said laws to unravel what we've just done.

454
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 9: Yeah?

455
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: I don't know.

456
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 13: I don't want to speculate as to what they're thinking.

457
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 13: We you know, we certainly have plans for this legislative

458
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 13: session or moving forward, and we're we're eager to work

459
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 13: with anybody from you know, legislative leadership, to the administration

460
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 13: to other folks that opposed this on this effort, We're

461
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 13: willing to work with anybody to move this forward in

462
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 13: a thoughtful and responsible way that accomplishes the intended results.

463
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: Well, Greg, you did a terrific job, your whole team,

464
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: the California District Attorney's Association. This was so badly needed.

465
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: The public wanted it very very badly, and of course,

466
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: you know, individual members of the public, there's no way

467
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 2: they can change the laws at this level with the

468
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 2: legislature and the governor being the way they are. So

469

Speaker 2: you did tremendous work here and everybody I know is

470
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,240

480
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:56,120

Speaker 7: What thief.

482
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: Why are people putting beef on their faces?

483
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 7: They're stupid?

484
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see it could be a good reason. In fact,

485
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: you may want.

486
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: To do it.

487
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 7: I don't think so.

488
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you.

496
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: milk unpasteurized milk because you could catch the bird flow.

497
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, John, Yes.

498
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 8: Don't drink raw milk because you can catch the bird flow.

499
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: Thank you. You're just you'd love public service announcements. All right.

500
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: I got a health tip for you here, and a

501
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: health tip cosmetics tip. Women are putting beef on their faces?

502
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: And why John, Why?

503
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: Because it says so on TikTok, that's why.

504
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 7: Come on.

505
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: Here's an example of this New York Times story not

506
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: making this up. A profile a woman named Sasha Green.

507
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: She goes to Costco and she buys ground pork, turkey,

508
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: chicken breasts for dinner right for a family, and then

509
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: she buys a steak for her face. Beef tallow is

510
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: the fat from around a cow's organs, Oh God, and

511
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: it's become a popular ingredient in cosmetic products. Customers swear

512
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: by its natural moisturizing properties, and businesses are selling tallow

513
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: based creams. Tallow is fat, It's just a particular kind

514
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: of fat within the cow, and apparently there's great demand

515
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: for this.

516
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: Now. People are swearing that it.

517
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 7: Were it just moisturizes your faith.

518
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Sasha Green stopped spending a fortune on all those expensive

519
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: skin care products. She started seeing tiktoks from people promoting

520
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: this natural miracle ingredients cheaper than anything you good buy it,

521
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: that you can buy it before I made my own

522
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: to start, I got meat from Costco, stripped off the fat,

523
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: and began rendering it. That's a process where you cook

524
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: the fat repeatedly with water and salt remove impurities until

525
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: you're left with a white wasky, white waxy disk at

526
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: the bottom of the bowl. And they even had photos

527
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: that shows you if.

528
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: You keep.

529
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 7: No thank you.

530
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: Then you whip it, mix it with oils, and it's

531
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: ready to slop on your face.

532
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 7: First of all, that's a long process.

533
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 8: And second of all, you can get very inexpensive moist

534
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 8: riisers and you don't have to go to Sephora and there.

535
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: Do they have beef fat.

536
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 8: No, they do not, but they work very well. In fact,

537
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 8: all my cosmetics are vegan. By the way, I'm just saying.

538
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: Does that mean you can eat them?

539
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 7: Yes?

540
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 11: Uh.

541
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: She uses the tallow for bug bites, rashes, dry skin,

542
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: bad burns. Just load up on the towel, on the tallow.

543
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: Another woman in here, Rachel Ogden. Within a minute of

544
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: applying tallow, she said her skin goes from from dry

545
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: to greasy to fully nourished.

546
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, because there's all that fat.

547
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 2: And Robert Kennedy is a promoter of cooking tallow. He's

548
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: also a promoter of raw milk. Yeah, you follow everything,

549
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: put them together, follow everything. He says, they're gonna end

550
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: up with the bird flu, but you'll have very smooth skin.

551
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: So that's that's the trade off there.

552
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: He sells hats, Honest to God, he sells hats that say,

553
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: make frying oil tallow again, make frying oil. That doesn't

554
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: It says the same rhythm as Make America Great Now.

555
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: Cooking tallow and skincare tollo are slightly different. Cooking towel tallow,

556
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: I can't even say that word refers to rendered fats,

557
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: while skincare tallow is beef suet or fat from around

558
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: the cow's kidneys. So you take you take kidney fat

559
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: from a cow and then cook it and slap it

560
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: on your face, and you're gonna look a lot younger.

561
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: Well, it says that on TikTok.

562
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, be true and drink raw milk and that's healthier

563
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: until you die of the bird fluw look says it

564
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: on TikTok.

565
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, my skin.

566
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 8: Is moisturized, and I don't use that animal fat.

567
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 7: I'm just saying I.

568
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: Had a feeling you weren't gonna you weren't going to
