I just got out 39 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 5: of federal court. He's now facing federal charges. So he's 40 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 5: facing federal murder charges and federal stocking charges, and he 41 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 5: faces the death penalty because even though there's no death 42 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 5: penalty in Minnesota, since these were federal crimes, he faces 43 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 5: the death penalty. I mean, it's just crazy the details 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 5: that have been coming out in the last couple of hours. 45 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 5: This guy basically dressed up as a police officer, He 46 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 5: had a fake police car. He showed up at the 47 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 5: state senator, the state senator's house. John Hoffman banged on 48 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 5: the door, said police police had this really creepy latex 49 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 5: mask on. I don't know if you've seen that photo. 50 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that really disturbs me. 51 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I put it over the top. And he basically 52 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 5: had this flashlight pointing in the senator and his wife 53 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 5: answered the door, and he's shining the flash lights in 54 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 5: their eyes and saying, police, police, there's been a robbery. 55 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 5: And at first they think he's a cop, and then 56 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 5: the wife says, you're not a real police officer. He 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 5: shoots them and they survived miraculously. The state senator was 58 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 5: shot nine times and his wife was shot eight times 59 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 5: and they lived. And yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole house 60 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 5: is shot up. They they they had multiple surgeries and 61 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 5: they're apparently going to be okay. But what we learned 62 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 5: today is not only did he go to the then 63 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 5: the representative's house, the former Speaker of the House here 64 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 5: in Minnesota, but he went to two other lawmaker's houses 65 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 5: who just happened to not be home. He had a 66 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 5: whole list that he was going down of like forty names. 67 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 5: So he gets to Representative Melissa Hortman's house, shoots and 68 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 5: kills her, shoots and kills her husband, shoots and kills 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 5: the family. Golden retriever and the whole house gets shot 70 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 5: up and there's a shootout with police, and then he 71 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 5: goes on the run. And then it all ended last 72 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 5: night when they finally caught the guy. 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: And they caught the guy, a drone went over the 74 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: He was in the woods and a drone passed overhead 75 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: and spotted him. 76 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 5: So it was actually a trail cam for someone had 77 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 5: a trail cam. There's a way like an hour outside Minneapolis. 78 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 5: He has a country house out in this area where 79 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 5: they found him. It was a trail cam. And then 80 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 5: when the lights when the sun went down, they put 81 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 5: the infrared drone up, saw him, SWAT teams moved in, 82 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 5: they surrounded him, and he actually basically surrendered. They told 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 5: him to crawl out. He crawled out. He had a gun. 84 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: He had a gun on him, so that could have 85 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 5: been a bad situation. And in the fake police car 86 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 5: we found out today he had three AK forty sevens 87 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 5: oh and again that that manifesto with the forty names 88 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 5: and he's working his way down. 89 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: The list, so this could have been so much worse. 90 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: Was he planning to go to the No Kings protest? 91 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: Because I know he had a lot of those flyers 92 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 3: in the car. 93 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 5: We don't know. I mean, he had a bunch of 94 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 5: those flyers in the car. We don't know if he 95 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 5: was planning to go there. He had another car that 96 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 5: he was on the run in, a buick that I 97 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 5: just found out. They found a note in there, like 98 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 5: almost like a confession note, where he said that he's 99 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 5: the one who did this, and he said this really 100 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 5: cryptic text to his wife that we learned about today 101 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 5: the morning after the shootings, where he said I'm doing 102 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 5: God's work something along those lines. So the whole thing 103 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 5: is just very very bizarre and scary. I mean, you know, again, 104 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 5: if he had if he had kept going from house 105 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 5: to house, who knows how many more lawmakers he could 106 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: have killed. 107 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 3: How much do you know about his background, because apparently 108 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: publicly he was claiming to be the head of a 109 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: security service called Prietorian Guard Security Services, But NPR had 110 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: a report saying that was a fantasy life that he had. 111 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: He really worked in the food service industry. 112 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 5: I think that was there's a lot of weird things 113 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 5: about this guy. I think that was a fantasy life. 114 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 5: Because just now in court he had to go over 115 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 5: all his finances to see if he could qualify to be, 116 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 5: you know, to get a public defender. And he only 117 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 5: made five hundred and forty dollars a week. And I 118 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 5: think he was trying to build up the security company, 119 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 5: but it never really took off. He also claims to 120 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 5: like he calls himself a doctor and some of his 121 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 5: signatures and have like some kind of PhD, which I 122 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 5: don't know if if that's actually true. But he is married, 123 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 5: he's got several kids. His house is paid for that 124 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 5: came out in court. He's got like a nice country house. 125 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 5: He also had this apartment in the city which I 126 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 5: haven't been able to figure out where. He saw his 127 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 5: roommate on TV at all this weekend. He has like 128 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 5: this big roommate who did a bunch of interviews over 129 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 5: the week. 130 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: With several men. 131 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had this. 132 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 5: There's a lot of weird things he has, this roommate, 133 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 5: he's got an apartment in the city where he claims 134 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 5: he spent a couple of nights a week when he 135 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 5: worked in the city. But then today in court he 136 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 5: only made like five hundred dollars a week. So there's 137 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 5: a lot of like loose ends here to still figure 138 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 5: out about that. 139 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: Right. He claimed he was working in Africa, uh in 140 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 3: the Republic of Congo on security projects. He also claimed 141 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 3: he had an evangelical ministry, but which Online it looks 142 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: like he was a manager at a convenience store primarily. 143 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't know. I mean, and the thing in 144 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 5: court today, you know, he came in. He had this 145 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 5: orange jumpsuit on. They didn't have him shackled, which I 146 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 5: thought was interesting. He didn't have handcuffs on. There was 147 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 5: a ton of federal marshals. But he was very clean cut. 148 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 5: It almost looked like he just got a haircut. He 149 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 5: was very polite to the judge, answering all of the 150 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 5: questions very professionally. I almost got this vibe like almost 151 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 5: like he fantasized about this moment, like he knew that 152 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 5: the court day would come and he knew what he 153 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 5: was going to say. And the whole thing is just 154 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 5: super creepy. 155 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: He also somehow gone on Governor Tim Watz's Workforce Development Board. 156 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: He served at least two terms, once appointed by rats 157 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: and once appointed by the previous Democratic governor. How did 158 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: that happen if he was managing a convenience store. 159 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, and the governor doesn't appear knew him personally. I mean, 160 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 5: I've covered state politics, not Minnesota, but in other states. 161 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 5: You know, sometimes there's these boards that like almost anyone 162 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 5: can be on and like technically it's like governor appointed, 163 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, but they just kind of 164 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 5: like need people to sign up. I kind of get 165 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 5: the sense it's like one of those things that might 166 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: sound like a bigger deal than it actually is. 167 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: This is really bizarre. 168 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: One more thing, because you mentioned at the beginning they're 169 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: they're filing federal charges and he could be eligible for 170 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: the federal death penalty. What makes this a federal crime 171 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: since he shot Minnesota state legislators. 172 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, because because I think because partly where the guns 173 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 5: came from. And then also because because they're lawmakers, that 174 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 5: makes it a federal charge. And there's also a federal 175 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 5: stalking charge involving lawmakers. And the fact that it was 176 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 5: politically motivated that I'll upsit to federal charges. And then 177 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 5: he was stalking these political figures before. Like I was 178 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 5: looking through his notebook. We got pictures of his notebook, 179 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 5: and he's got all these websites, like you know, Intelius, 180 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 5: like all these websites even as us AS reporters used 181 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 5: to like look for people.

At least 219 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: it did up until a few days ago. California Air 220 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: Resources Board was given the power by the legislature to 221 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: decide when gas powered cars will be banned, and they 222 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 3: picked twenty thirty five as the year where no more 223 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 3: gas powered cars can be sold. And in fact, next 224 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 3: year it was supposed to be only thirty five well, 225 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: it was supposed to be thirty five percent electric cars 226 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: sold next year out out of the entire automobile industry 227 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 3: here in the state, thirty five percent had to be 228 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 3: electric cars. By twenty thirty two thirds had to be 229 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: electric cars, and then one hundred percent by twenty thirty five. 230 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 3: And it's run into a lot of obvious problems because 231 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: a lot of people don't like them. Just the uh, 232 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 3: the rich a holes on the West Side loved their 233 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: Teslas up until a few months ago, and then they turned. 234 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 3: In fact, rich a holes buying Tesla's was driving most 235 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: of the increase in electric car sales here in California. 236 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 3: And now that it's unfashionable to buy a car from 237 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 3: Elon Musk stalled out electric car sales in the state 238 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 3: that that was the main driver. There isn't much interest 239 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: in the other electric vehicles on the market. Most of 240 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 3: them are way too expensive for most. 241 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 4: People, and it takes just too darn long to charge. 242 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, when I first heard of electric cars, 243 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: they were taking like eight to ten hours. It's like, 244 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: you're kidding me, right, It's like I timed my filling 245 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 3: up my car yesterday six minutes. We've guessed, okay, you 246 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: got six minutes. On the one hand, and even if 247 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: it's two hours, I mean just say that out loud. 248 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: It's gonna take me two hours to recharge. 249 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 4: If you're going to recharge overnight, that's one thing. But 250 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 4: if you're driving and you realize, oh wait, I've got 251 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: a charge. 252 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 3: Speaking of Eric, you said Adam Carolla had a whole 253 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: thing about his car running out of the electric juice 254 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: in Palm Springs. 255 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, he was talking on his podcast about how he 256 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 7: was driving back from Palm Springs in the middle of 257 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 7: the night after doing two comedy shows, and it took 258 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 7: him forever to find a charger, and then the charger 259 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 7: was taking too long, and so he ended up ordering 260 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 7: an uber from like Ontario back to la and then 261 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 7: he had to go pick up his car back in 262 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 7: Ontario the next morning. 263 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a whole thing. 264 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: We should have mond. I want to hear that whole story. 265 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 3: That's the nightmare. Well, going back to Mary Nichols, she 266 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 3: ran the California Resources Board for seventeen years. She was 267 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 3: the one who put the hammer down on the automotive 268 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: industry because then it ended up that a dozen other 269 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 3: states copied California's targets. 270 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: And the auto. 271 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 3: Industry is all screwed up because now they had to 272 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 3: make two different sets of cars for two different sets 273 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: of states. And at the time this started to go 274 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: into effect, and I'd forgotten about this, but the automakers, 275 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: we're going bankrupt after the two thousand and eight mortgage crash. 276 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 3: And remember Obama had to bail out the auto industry, well, 277 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: General Motors for example, that the actually and the federal 278 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 3: government took an equity stake in General Motors. The federal 279 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 3: government made an investment and owned a piece of General 280 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 3: Motors to save them after the big mortgage meltdown. So 281 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 3: they had no leverage, no standing to try to fight 282 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 3: off this electric vehicle madness. 283 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 2: And all the major car companies went along with it. 284 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: And you had states like New York and New Jersey 285 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: copy in California. The only people not consulted were ordinary 286 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: consumers who found it way too expensive, way too inconvenient. 287 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 3: And then of course there's no infrastructure built. The electric 288 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 3: grid could not handle. If we all went to electric cars, 289 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 3: the electric grid would blow up, seize up, and die. 290 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: And the charging stations are a joke. At the beginning 291 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 3: of his term, whoever was running the Biden administration, they 292 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: engineered billions dollars to be spent on charging stations, and 293 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: you remember like two three years later only eight had 294 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: been built and they had several billion dollars to build 295 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: it with. So she said that no one likes being regulated. 296 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 3: Many people were acting on the assumption that it was 297 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 3: going to be Democrats continuing in power in Washington, so 298 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 3: the state felt like they had all the cards in 299 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: their hand. And then after the election it was pretty 300 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 3: hard to reset the conversation because California officials leading up 301 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 3: to this past November election had been in talks with 302 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 3: automakers maybe to slow down the conversion process to keep 303 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 3: them on board. But Nicol said they overplayed their hand. 304 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: They thought Biden and door Harris was going to be 305 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: the next president, that no way Trump was going to win, 306 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: and that is now he has gone and taken away 307 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 3: their power and got the report public and Congress to 308 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: go along with it. Now, of course there's going to 309 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: be lawsuits, but a lot of damage has been done here. 310 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 3: And they had a waiver for many years that they 311 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 3: could set their own environmental rules and now they don't 312 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: have the waiver at the moment, and it's because of 313 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: their own arrogance, extreme arrogance. They really thought they could 314 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 3: rule the world, they were their own nation. 315 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: State. 316 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 3: Newsom has always insisted the California is its own nation. 317 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 3: And what Trump is reminding Newsome with one smack after 318 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 3: another to the side of the head, is like, no, 319 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 3: you're part of the United States of America. You don't run, 320 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: you don't override federal law. Got a few other examples 321 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: of that coming up.

So let's get Tony Stricklin on 347 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 3: California State Senator. 348 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: How are you, Tony? 349 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: I'm great. 350 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 2: How are you doing, John, I'm fine. 351 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: So talk to me about how much needs to be 352 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: spent in state tax money on these programs and how 353 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 3: much Newsom is willing to fund. 354 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: Well a minimum A minimum would be four hundred million 355 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: to really, I believe it's going to cost more down 356 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: the line, because I believe the mental health issues in 357 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: California are worse than we even anticipate, but it's a 358 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: minimum of four hundred million, and what Governor is willing 359 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: to do is zero. The Governor is pushing him back 360 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: and he's not willing to fund it at all. These 361 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: two thirds legislative Democrats came up last week and they 362 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: put their proposal out there, put one hundred and ten 363 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: million into it for one time funding. What that means 364 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: is they only do it one time and they won't 365 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: continue to fund Prop thirty six moving forward. And then 366 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: one hundred ten million doesn't even scratch the surface. They 367 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: put zero dos in for local probation departments, which is 368 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: part of the success that's needed for Prop thirty six. 369 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: And again that's just what the two thirds majority put 370 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: in there. And now Governor can veto that. We're still 371 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: negotia stating a final budget, but clearly it's not a 372 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: priority of the legislaty of Democrats and certainly not a 373 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: priority of Governor Newsom. 374 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 3: What do you need the money for? Specifically, explain to 375 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 3: people where the money has to be spent for Prop 376 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 3: thirty six to work well. 377 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: Behavioral health programs departments, you need to put money there. 378 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: You need to put extra money into the judicial branch, 379 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: obviously because now we're not going to look the other way, 380 00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: we're actually convict people who are committing the crimes. You know, 381 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: it goes to the judicial branch. It also goes to 382 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: judicial services and public defenders, and it also goes for 383 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: fentanyl and and mental health services and so and also 384 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: probation departments to make sure that people you know, are 385 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: on probation when they can make crimes. 386 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: So to the behavior health departments. 387 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 3: This would deal with people's mental illnesses and deal with 388 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 3: people's drug addictions things of that nature. 389 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: Correct, And and what happened in top thirty six is said, look, 390 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: we're we're not going to look the other way. You 391 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to go to jail or or get 392 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: the mental health or drug or alcohol addiction services that 393 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: that you have a choice either you you get yourself 394 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: clean and and get help, or you go to jail. 395 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: And that's gonna obviously create more, but that's what people want. 396 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: People want to make sure that we have safe streets 397 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: and safe neighborhoods. And as far as the make and 398 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: make crime illegal again California. 399 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and as far as the theft crimes have to 400 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: be processed, he's given almost no money for the courts 401 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: to run, no money for public defenders, no money for 402 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 3: as you said, for the probation departments. And so who 403 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 3: does he think ought to pay for this if not 404 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 3: the state? 405 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: Well, he said, you know, I'm quoting Governor Knwshom. Now 406 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: he said the local governments wanted it, they could pay 407 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: for it, which is it's like a Marie Antoinette let 408 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: him eat cake. You know, it's unbelievable. I can't recall 409 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: the last initiative the past. All fifty eight counties, even 410 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: the most liberal counties of Marine in San Francisco, voted 411 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: for this initiative. Nearly seven percent of the voters Democrats, 412 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: Independence and Republicans overwhelmingly want to make crime illegal again 413 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 1: and want to make our community safe. This would be 414 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: the first thing that they fund. That's what a budget is. 415 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: What's your priorities. Public safety is the most several role 416 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: of government. They keep people safe. And if you remember, 417 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: Governor Knewsom did every maneuver to try to keep this 418 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: initiative away from the people, but it was not successful. 419 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: The people voted on it. Their voices were loud and clear. 420 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: We want we want to make public safety a top priority, 421 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: and he's not willing to do that. 422 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 3: You know, it violates the blessed holy trinity of these progressives. 423 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: All they worship for criminals, illegal aliens, and homeless people. 424 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 2: And so you started. 425 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: Putting what they did fund, John, Think about what they 426 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: did fund. They fund ten point eight billion for undocumented immigrants. 427 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: They funded the seven hundred and fifty million dollars to 428 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: bail out the Bay Area Regional Transit. You know, a 429 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: billion dollars to a high speed rail. 430 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 3: High speed rail, yeah, way, billion dollars for high speed rail. 431 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 3: Fun and pennies to actually fund the justice system. After 432 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: two thirds of the freaking state past this Prop thirty six, 433 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 3: and everybody considers it a state issue, which is why 434 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 3: the state should fund it. This is state law that 435 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 3: was being reinforced here correct. 436 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: Correct, and again I this should be the first thing. 437 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: Public safety should be the first thing. Look what they 438 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: do fund. It just gets me frustrated. Look what they fund, 439 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: and look what they are not willing to fund. And 440 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: and the people they need to look and get rid 441 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: of their senators. They are family members who are not 442 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: willing to fully fund Prop thirty seven. 443 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 3: God, people have to vote differently in the absence of 444 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 3: an election. Right now, what can people do because this 445 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: was something that most people were very serious about enforcing 446 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 3: the Prop thirty six protocols. 447 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: Here, well, the best thing they could do is call 448 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: their senator, call their sumbly member and say we want 449 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: a fully fund Prop thirty six. Stop funding, stop funding 450 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: things like the high speed rail, and fund public safety 451 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: to keep us safe, and tell them we will remember 452 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: next November if you don't do this. And then also, look, 453 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: I happen to believe that new when you see some 454 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: of these guys can't campaign for governor. They're already moving 455 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: away from GAVINUSAM because they know how destructive he is. 456 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: But right now here and now, the best thing they 457 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: could do is ay, I'm gonna hold you accountable if 458 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: you don't fully find Prop thirty six. 459 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: All right, State Senator Tony Strickland, Republican from Honting beachs 460 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 3: thank you for coming on with us again. 461 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: Thanks again for having me. I really truly appreciate it. 462 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 3: All Right, we've got more coming up. I AM six forty. 463 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 464 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 6: six forty. 465 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 3: You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social 466 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: media at John Cobelt Radio, we passed twenty seven thousand followers, 467 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 3: headed for thirty thousand right after Deborah's news. Tomorrow's not 468 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: only a big day where judge may decide who's who 469 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 3: runs the National Guard, who controls it in California. Trump 470 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 3: renews him. But there's another federal judge, someone that you 471 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 3: may be familiar with, David O. Carter, and he has 472 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 3: the civil case of the LA Alliance. 473 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: Let me let me get this right here. LA Alliance 474 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: for Human Rights. 475 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 3: They are a collection of LA citizens and businesses who 476 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 3: have sued the City of Los Angeles for allowing the 477 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 3: homeless to run amok and make life miserable for so 478 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 3: many normal people. And they reached settlements in court with 479 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 3: the city back in twenty twenty and twenty twenty two. 480 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 3: And they say the city has breached those settlements and 481 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: never accomplished what they promised to. There's a big surprise. 482 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 3: There's been there's been a trial going on for weeks, 483 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 3: and it's clear the city, Karen Bass's administration and what's 484 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 3: left of LASA is in total disarray. They're overwhelmed and 485 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 3: they don't particularly care Bass refused to testify, and she 486 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 3: hired eleven attorneys to protect her from testifying, and they 487 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 3: promised to make so many appeals that the plaintiffs in 488 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 3: the case LA Alliance for Human Rights said, I'll forget it, 489 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 3: just get on with this. It is possible that the judge, 490 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 3: David Carter could take the city's homeless bureaucracy LASSA and 491 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 3: give it to a receiver. It'll be thrown into receivership 492 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 3: and some type of outside entity, outside person will control 493 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 3: homelessness spending in the city. It's that bad, and certainly 494 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 3: Carter is not happy with the way the city runs things, 495 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 3: and the city their idea of a defense is to 496 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 3: hire eleven attorneys so Bass doesn't have to explain herself. 497 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 3: Bass hasn't defended herself. She just would rather not come 498 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 3: to court. All that coming up after three o'clock. I 499 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 3: mentioned in the first hour, and you should listen to 500 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 3: the first hour, because we had a good rundown of 501 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 3: all the festivities over the weekend here in LA all 502 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 3: the mental patients running around and having public nervous breakdowns, 503 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 3: screaming into the air, beating up horses, getting their testicles 504 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 3: blown off, and it's all. It's also silly and pointless. 505 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 3: You've accomplished nothing. This is my message to you. Virtue 506 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 3: signals right there, all you left wing progressives. You lost, 507 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 3: You're still losing. Trump wakes up every day and he's 508 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 3: still king. So you can shout no kings all you want, 509 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: but he's in charge. 510 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 2: You're not. 511 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 3: And you blew your chance when you didn't protest against 512 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 3: Biden and Kamala being the nominees. 513 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 2: Last year. 514 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 3: Byron new York for The Washington Examiner had a pretty 515 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 3: provocative article I'm being a bit sarcastic. His headline was 516 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 3: the normal presidency of Donald Trump. And here's what he means. 517 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: Real clear Politics runs an average every day of job 518 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 3: approval polls. You know, we have I don't know eight, ten, 519 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 3: well fourteen polling units that run job approval ratings from 520 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 3: month to month, and they take an average, and right now, 521 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 3: Trump's job approval stands at forty six point six percent, 522 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 3: And they compared it to this day in twenty thirteen, 523 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 3: when Obama was in his second term, the exact same 524 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 3: point in his second term, and Obama's job approval rating 525 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 3: was forty six point six percent. And then they looked 526 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 3: at George W. Bush's approval rating same point. In his 527 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 3: second term in two thousand and five, his approval rating 528 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: was forty five point six, So it's forty six to six, 529 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 3: forty six six, forty five six. Going back to what 530 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 3: I said last hour, all the angst you see in 531 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 3: the street, all the performative mental patient, nervous breakdowns you see, 532 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 3: is just a tiny sliver of the population. They're overly online, 533 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 3: overly radical, radicalized, overly stimulated. Michael Selenberger has written about 534 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 3: this phenomenon. It's called cluster B personality. We ought to 535 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: look that up. I read all the symptoms of cluster 536 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 3: B personality and it fits exactly with what you see. 537 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 3: Screaming when you know, when you're screaming and just bumping 538 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,959 Speaker 3: a horse, that's cluster B. When you risk your testicles, 539 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: that's cluster B. And that's all it is. You're seeing 540 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 3: like a public and really the city shouldn't tolerate any 541 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 3: of this. There's no reason to shut down streets so 542 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 3: people could display their psychological issues. It's it's just kind 543 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 3: of stupid, and these people are stupid, and uh, there 544 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 3: is no great outpouring against Trump around the country. He's 545 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 3: got the same approval rating as Obama and one point 546 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 3: more than than Bush. And at this point in Bush 547 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 3: and Sama's presidency, there were no huge protests in the street, 548 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 3: people screaming like lunatics. Also, what we're going to do 549 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 3: next hour is Kevin Kylie, who is a former legislator 550 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 3: and now a congressman, and another former legislator in California, 551 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: Dennis Hollingsworth. They both separately posted pieces online today explaining 552 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 3: exactly what's going on, and this is what you ought 553 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: to listen to in the next half hour after we 554 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 3: talk about the federal judge in the homeless situation. Is 555 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 3: what's really going on here, because you shouldn't be distracted 556 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: by all the mental patients with their cluster b psychological issues. 557 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 3: Understand how the world really works with the corrupt legal 558 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 3: alien industry, which is similar to the corrupt homeless industry, 559 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: and the corrupt politicians who run this state and fund 560 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 3: these nonprofits. Talk about that coming up in the next 561 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 3: half hour. Debor Mark is live in the KFI twenty 562 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 3: four hour newsroom.
