1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Caf I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the I Heart Radio app. 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: The beginning of the newscast, Ken, I don't know. Something 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: happened in my throat. I guess I'm losing my voice, 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: so I made some weird noise again. Yeah, there's a 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: there's there's like a syllable to that in two elements. 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and then you go down there's two separate 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: sounds there. Oh, I know, I know. Yeah, right now, 9 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 1: what sexy wasn't Are you going to add that to 10 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: the collection? Erecting saved. Somebody asked me if it was 11 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: a sneeze. A listener just sent me a message on 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: social media. It was a he and yeah, I'm sure 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people notice. I sounded like a ding dong, 14 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: but I couldn't help it, like a mating sound, you 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: know what. I have no control, you know sometimes the 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: just of course, when you're live, that is gonna happen. 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: Aren't you supposed to grab the cough button though, to 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: reduce the sound of I don't have a cough button. 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: But I was gonna shut my mic off, But it 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: was too late. John was cracking up because I'm watching him, 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: and he distracted me and then it was just a 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: train rap. But we'll add that to the dumpster next time. 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: You and all your other sounds we collected. I don't 24 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: even know what to call that. That doesn't fit in 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: any It's almost like a gulp. Yeah, it's half throat clearing, 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: half gulf. I don't know any girl that makes more 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: one of a kind sounds like you do? You have 28 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: a whole a delicate little flower. Yeah, I know. That's 29 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: a lot of odd stuff. All right, all right, Well, 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: we have a new star at the ULSA gonna times 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to columnists and they're wacky musings. This 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: guy you see his picture there with the wild hair 33 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: John You know what, he looks like that old comedian Gallagher, 34 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: doesn't he That's a good that's a good comparison. Gallagher 35 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: would have made more sense. But the Gallagher's hair was 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: kind of longer and straighter. This guy's hair kind of 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: puffs out. Yeah. Yeah, it's like it's like, I don't 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: know how to describe this. This character was that comedian 39 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: driver Avery and Shriver and Avery Schriber. Yeah, well, one 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: of the guys was like a fat guy with a 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: big ball ahead. Yeah, hair on his head? Yeah, Sammy 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: Roth is this guy's name. He's the energy report at 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Times. I want to link in page. Oh, 44 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: he is full of himself. He lists eleven different honors 45 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: and awards that he's gotten for his environmental journalism. Well, 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: this one was titled how white and affluent drivers are 47 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: polluting the air breathed by LA's people of color. Yeah, 48 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: so he writes, like many Angelino's, that's a bad start. 49 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time behind the wheel of 50 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: my car. I drive from my west Side apartment to 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium near downtown, and further east to hike in 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: the San Gabriel Mountains. I take the four oh five 53 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: freeway north to the San Fernando Valley to see friends, 54 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: or occasionally south to the LA Times office or to 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: the airport, where I grow my carbon footprint even further. 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: He grows his carbon footprint. No, wait a minute. These 57 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: people are always bragging to us about how we need 58 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: to step up and use mass transit. Yes, he's driving everywhere. Yeah, 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: why is it, Hey, Sammy, you mean Metro takes the bus. 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: Metro doesn't serve your needs. I don't understand ride share 61 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: with somebody carpool, I grow my carbon footprint. Wow, so 62 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: I couldn't help but consider my own complicity while reading 63 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: a new study from USC researchers finding that Angelinos who 64 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: drive more tend to be exposed to less air pollution, 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: and Angelinos who drive less tend to be exposed to 66 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: more pollution. Now, get this. That may sound like a paradox, 67 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: he writes, it's a function of the racism then shape 68 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: this city in its suburbs. It continues to influence our 69 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: daily lives and a stark reminder of the need for 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: climate solutions that benefit everyone. My colleague Terry Castleman wrote 71 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: about this study, which was published in the peer review 72 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: journal Urban Studies. That's supposed to impress you, oh peer review. Yeah. 73 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: The core finding is that for every one percent increase 74 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: in miles driven to and from work by people who 75 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: live in a particular part of La County, there's an 76 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: estimated point six two percent decrease in the lung damaging 77 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: fine particulate matter to which those Angelinos are exposed point 78 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: six two Wait a second, what kind of formula is this? 79 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: How the hell would they measure this? For every one 80 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: percent increase in miles driven. There's an estimated point six 81 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: to decrease in the lung damaging what. I don't even 82 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: know how to what that means, how to define that 83 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: or calculate that well. He then talked to the lead author, 84 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: Jeff Boeing, a professor at USC's Saul Price School of 85 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: Public Policy. He told me, it largely comes down to 86 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: the shameful history, Oh here we go of La counties, 87 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: low incommunities of color being torn apart to make way 88 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: for freeways, a history that's been extensively documented by the Times. Today, 89 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: many residents of the county's wide or more affluent neighborhoods, 90 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: who are more able to keep highways out of their 91 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: loan backyards, commute to work through lower income Black and 92 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: Latino neighborhoods bisected by the ten one ten one oh 93 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: five freeways and more. Yeah, Like I said, all these 94 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: freeways were laid down fifty sixty seventy years the nineteen fifties, right, 95 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: So I'm driving on it today in twenty twenty three, 96 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: And I'm a racist for driving on the freeways, Yes, 97 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: because they bisect communities of colors, and you're spewing, you're 98 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: toxic field. So what am I supposed to do? I mean, 99 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: Sammy Roth has not taken the natural bus, He's not 100 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: taken the homeless train. One am I posted to do. 101 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: I didn't build the freeways. Haven't they talked about I'm 102 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: not taking the freeways down, but rerooting them. I mean, 103 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: when talked about this last year, he said something to 104 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: that effect. They can't even fill a pottle. They're going 105 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: to reroot the freeway. We need to rethink. Yeah, go ahead, 106 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: go reroot the freeway through Beverly Hills. I want to 107 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: see that one God. Well he talks about I mean again, 108 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: people who don't want a freeway running through their backyard. Well, 109 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: they had to fight to prevent that from happening. I'm sorry, 110 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: but apparently when all this was going on, there were 111 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: people in less affluent communities who just weren't as strong 112 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: and maybe if it really you always mentioned John, there 113 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: was a freeway supposed to run through Beverly Hills. Was Yes, 114 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: there was, and it should have been built. I always 115 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: thought more freeways should have been built, but they fought 116 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: it there because they were white, affluent. Yeah, created more 117 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: traffic on the West Side. West Side has very little 118 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: freeway access is why it's always jammed up every day. 119 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: He writes this, as a white guy who's lived on 120 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: LA's West Side for most of my life, I've benefited 121 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: from the regions sorted history as well as much as 122 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: I try to do my part, taking the train a 123 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: couple of times a month, walking to local coffee shops 124 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: and restaurants instead of driving across the city. There's no 125 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: question I contribute to the inequitable air pollution that the 126 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: study described. And he's guilty about it. How did these 127 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: people get through the day with all the guilt they 128 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: have on their shoulders. You mean he doesn't walk to 129 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: the coffee shop because he wants coffee. He walks to 130 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: the coffee shop because he's trying to lessen his carbon 131 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: footprint in poor neighborhoods. This is what he thinks about. 132 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: And what did I say last hour? I called myself 133 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: the perspective on this, like to put everything in perspective. Yes, 134 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: you know how much better car emissions are than they 135 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: were in like the sixties when these freeways were being built. 136 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: They're much cleaner than they were. They act like this 137 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: stuff is killing us. The air is not is not 138 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five. Go look up, go, go look up 139 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: La downtown pollution. They've got photos on it from like 140 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties. You can't see across the street. And 141 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating. It's like this thick black smog fog, 142 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: and you can't see anywhere, and all that is gone. Now, 143 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: I don't understand. What do you want? We have to live. 144 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: He also mentions, and it comes later in the column, 145 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: that majority white Westside neighborhoods like John cobelts well, he 146 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: actually puts you in the story could be benefiting from 147 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: ocean breezes that push pollution into predominantly black and Latino airs. 148 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: That's the problem with the inland Empire because every everything 149 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: ends up being blown in that to age, well, that's 150 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: why the real estate is so expensive. And before valley, 151 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: the valley, it's the air trap too. If you live 152 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: within a few miles of the ocean. Yes, the air 153 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: is fresher and cleaner and cooler. The hots aren't that hot. 154 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: That's why the real estate's expensive. That's what Yeah, exactly right, 155 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do. That's the kind of the 156 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: system that we have. So if you make money, you 157 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: get to breathe cleaner air. That is true. That's the 158 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: incentive to make some money in life. Imagine if these 159 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: people were really in charge, they would use the government 160 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: to confiscate all the properties and what redistribute everything and 161 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: where people live, and that we all live in equitable 162 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: places so that we have the same exposure to pollution. 163 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, how would you do that? I mean, 164 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: by the end, maybe starts to realize he's insane. I 165 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: realize it's not on my shoulders alone to make up 166 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: for a long history of racist housing policies and freeway construction. 167 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: That's right, you are an insignificant little twerp Okay, it's 168 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: not on your shoulders. It's not your responsibility. In fact, 169 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: you don't really do a damn thing in life, but 170 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: but come up with wacky theories on why we should 171 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: be guilty guilty of racism we don't commit.

Funny? But it's true. I'm looking 181 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: up at the news channels on the TVs and I 182 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: see video of people crashing through a barrier making a charge, 183 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: and I thought it was a bank run and it 184 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: was the run at the Mexican border this morning. Oh yeah, 185 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: we were going to play that audio. Yeah, I know, 186 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: but I thought it was the bank run. People like 187 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: trying to get in the bank to get their money. 188 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: They were You mistook the people crossing a brace from 189 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: people trying to get into a batty. Yes, we'll play 190 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: that audio at the end of the hour. And it 191 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: was pretty crazy. Well, well, I was I gonna talk 192 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: about the border when it comes to Fentnel. A couple 193 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: of stories popped up, including the President of Mexico basically 194 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: giving us the finger. Fentnel is your problem, not ours. 195 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: Go die, And don't you even think about any military 196 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: intervention in this country? Boy, what did I say last week? 197 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: It's big for their economy, the drug trade. Yeah, I know, 198 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: they would have even more people in poverty. You know, 199 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the drug trade. We got to 200 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: get those drones that we used on the terrorists in 201 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: the Mid East, you know, the ones that would hover 202 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: over the guy. Are you talking about smudging people? Smudging people? Right? 203 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: They fire a missile and leave behind nothing but a 204 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: black smudge in the desert. That's what we do to 205 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: the terrorists. You want to do to the cartel people, Yes, 206 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: they're terrorists. It's becoming a real huge problem in this country. 207 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: Biden's spokeshole didn't admit that the cartels have killed way 208 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: more people than the terrorists did. All right, So we'll 209 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: get to all that coming up after neows. We'll play 210 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: that audio people a bunch of migrants rushing the border 211 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: in Texas. There is going to be pretty soon than 212 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: the next two weeks. Thousands of people on strike at 213 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: the La Unified School District. Apparently this is mostly about 214 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: the non teaching workers, but the teachers will probably walk 215 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: out in sympathy. Local ninety nine of the Service Employees 216 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: International Union. That's thirty thousand cafeteria workers, bus drivers, custodians, 217 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: and special ed assistants. Oh god, there's an impasse. I'm 218 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: pausing here because I want to be dramatic. There's an 219 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: impasse in a month long negotiation for a thirty percent 220 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: raise for the lowest earners. Oh have you ever heard 221 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: a number like that? Forcent There they're being apparently they're 222 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: being offered thirty percent. The janitors want thirty percent. Yes, 223 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: the cafeteria workers, who I don't know how many years 224 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: this is for. Is it over? It's probably over a 225 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: certain number of You mean, the people who push all 226 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: that toxic slop at the kids every day, and they 227 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: call it food. They're adding more vegetable options, like I said, 228 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: to help, then gets thrown in the trash. They got 229 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: a lot of nerve, boy, they did. The union is 230 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: like some weird cult religion, isn't it. And the teachers, 231 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: now I realize the teachers are beyond shame. I mean, 232 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: just the worst group of human beings, the teachers in 233 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: the laus day. I mean, God, do you do you 234 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: have you have been an ounce of shame after what 235 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: you did last year? Guys thinking because we've always we've 236 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: done that story on the cafeteria is trying like the 237 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: healthier lunches, and it's usually toss it. We should send 238 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: Deborah Mark over there to eat all the avocados, and 239 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: I'd be happy to. Oh, I just sit there like 240 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: looking in the trash and picking out all the I 241 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't go in the trash. You just walk up to 242 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: the kids. You're not gonna eat that. Yeah, I'll take 243 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: it even you couldn't take that food. Why it's awful, 244 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: avocado and lentil. It's all just making She loves avocados 245 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: and lentils exactly. In fact, that's what I'm gonna have 246 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: for dinner tonight. I'm gonna make a salad with avocado 247 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: and lentils. I thought of you over the weekend because 248 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: I was at the lunch with some friends and one 249 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: of them got avocado toast. I said, that's a Deborah 250 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: Marks staple, my favorite. Somebody on a name an avocado 251 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: toast dish after you. I know that would be awesome. 252 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: Will you do that? But you do realize the downside 253 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: of that what they think that's elitist. They sometimes pick 254 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: on people that you avocado toast as being one of 255 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: those people try no real worries in life. They're elitist. 256 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: Trust me, she's elitist. Okay, you know what, I just 257 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: don't care anymore what people think. I've gotten to that point. Answer. 258 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: You know what, I like avocado toast, so there, yeah, 259 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: all right, there you go. You'd be proud of it, Yes, yes, proudly. 260 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I would post it so I get lots of light. 261 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: She just told me a few minutes ago that she 262 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: was up last night because of the time I was. 263 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: It messed me up. See, I told you, John, I 264 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: started the show by saying, aren't we all worn out 265 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: from the time shade? Yeah, I just and I also 266 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: thought about it, and it was the strangest thing. And 267 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: then I heard coyotes in the middle of the night. 268 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: It was just a bunch of the time change. I 269 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: mean that noise in the news exactly. I'm very tired. 270 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: I think my voice is tried because I was thinking, Okay, 271 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: it's it's really it's not really eight thirty, right it's 272 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: or it's not really nine thirty, it's eight thirty. I 273 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: just was thinking about all this went on all night. Well, 274 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: now it's not not really two o'clock. It is, it's 275 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: not right now, And I know John's doing the same thing. 276 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the bright side. Sundown is after seventh 277 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: Oh I love that. I no. I I am happy 278 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: to deal with the one night that I got screwed 279 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: up sleep because I'm gonna be driving home tonight and 280 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: I'll have what three more hours of sun? You could 281 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: sit in traffic in daylight and stuff. Well, I like 282 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: driving during the day better. Now, United Teachers Los Angeles 283 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: it's also seeking a twenty percent wage increase. This is 284 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: just over two years. Two years. Yes, so that's the 285 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: other battle that's going on. If so now they want 286 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: to sympathize with the cafeteria workers and their battle. If 287 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: if outside of by the way that the school district's 288 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: losing enrollment they're having, of course, we well, because anybody 289 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: who can get out is getting out. Outside of I 290 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: don't have the money. What's the argument for going to 291 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: an LAUSD school as compared to any other choice charter school, 292 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: private school, parochial school, homeschool. What would be the argument 293 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: to go to LAUSD after the incredible learning loss that 294 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: occurred because they shut the schools down. LA Unified shut 295 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: the schools down for like the longest time. How can 296 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: you how can anybody ask for more money? How can 297 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: a civilized country? I have a school system this bad, 298 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: and then they're constantly preaching about equity and diversity and 299 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: all that. Eighty percent of the kids are minority kids, 300 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: and look how they're treated by the union, all these 301 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: woke hucksters. They are nothing but hucksters. Look what they 302 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: do to the kids. The average pay for the bus drivers, 303 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: custodians and food service workers is thirty one, eight hundred 304 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: and twenty five dollars. That's low, and if you live 305 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, that's tough to pay the rent. Well, 306 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do if you're cleaning toilets and 307 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: serving slop? Of course, it says low. That's been the 308 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: problem with the La County and La City workforce for years. 309 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: It's low page service workers, and that's the reason why 310 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: county is always mired in poverty. It's up to you 311 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: to gain the skills or education to make more money. 312 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: It's not up to me to pay you more to 313 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: serve slop to a kid who's not going to eat 314 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: it anyway. And by the way, they serve slop, and 315 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: then the teachers don't want to show up for work. 316 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: We were supposed to pay more money for this privilege. Honestly, 317 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: if the whole system ought to be shut down. All 318 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: of it ought to be shut down. And we ought 319 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: to give vouchers to all the parents, give them X 320 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: number of dollars and say here, you decide what school 321 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: you're what school your kid goes to, and and let's 322 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: have competition. Let all the schools earn their students and 323 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: everything will change overnight. All right, when we come back, 324 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about Fentyl. The president of Mexico 325 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: has basically said, not our problem, it's your problem us. 326 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: And we'll play that audio of people rushing the border, 327 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: thousand people trying to march up with the border. It 328 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: was not a bank run. John made a mistake in 329 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: the hearing the audio. Johnny Ken kf I AM six 330 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to John 331 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: and Ken on demand from kf I AM sixty. All right, well, 332 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about the border and Fentnyl for a few 333 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: minutes here on the John and Ken Show. The Mexican 334 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: president we call him am Low, uh souths like like 335 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 1: a big box store like Costco. I went to Amlow 336 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: today or one of those multi multi level marketing scams. 337 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: Oh that's too. His name is and then Manuel Lopez Obrador. Yeah, 338 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people in Mexico go buy three or 339 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 1: four names. It's all excessive. Well, he basically was responding 340 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: to some calls about taking stronger measures against the cartels 341 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: and the fentinyl drugs getting into the United States. They 342 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: liked to we did the story last week to produce 343 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: these news releases where they seized right, huge amounts of 344 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: fentyl at the border. But they're not telling you is 345 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot more got through. That's the problem. We learned 346 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: this when it came to migrants years ago, when they 347 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: would say, well, you know, we detained one hundred thousand migrants, Yeah, 348 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: but we only get one out of every three caught. 349 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: We got an administration, and it's not the first administration 350 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: that that doesn't care. What they'll do is announce their 351 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: scattered victories when they get a big haul of fentanyl, 352 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: or they bust a ring of drug cartel guys, or 353 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: they pull over some car and they'll have headlines. And 354 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: these investigators live for the headlines. Makes them look good 355 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: to their bosses. They can get a promotion, They bring good, 356 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: good publicity to the agency. Right, they don't actually care 357 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: very much. If the administration cared, we'd have drones sending 358 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: missiles right through the hearts of every single one of 359 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: these cartel members. That's what we would do. We declare 360 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: a real war and win the war by killing them all. 361 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: So the speech he made last week or the statement 362 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: he made last week, and again if you don't know 363 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: basically what happens is chemicals are imported from China into 364 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: Mexico and then fentanyls produced at labs in that country, 365 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: and then the fentanyls moved into the United States. It's 366 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: been blamed for seventy thousand opioid deaths per year. Seventy 367 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: Look how many? How many? God, would we spend a 368 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: trillion dollars on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? I guess 369 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: sounds right over what three thousand people that got killed here? 370 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: It's seventy thousand every year, and we don't do poop 371 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: about all the fentanyl coming in the country. Nothing. So 372 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: where do you hear this? He went on to say, well, here, 373 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: we do not produce fentanyl and we did not have 374 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: consumption of fentanyl. Why doesn't the United States take care 375 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: of their problems of social decay? He went on to 376 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: talk about single parent families, parents who kick grown children 377 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: out of their houses, and people who put elderly relatives 378 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: in old age homes and visit them just once a year. 379 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: We took some real shots of what he thinks is 380 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: American culture. It's pretty funny. Nice in Mexico, the elderly 381 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: just tend to live with their families and don't and 382 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: children aren't kicked out of the house, and you know, 383 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: everybody lives together. They might live in tight quarters, but 384 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: they're together. Except he doesn't explain how so many of 385 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: the kids end up working for the drug card towns 386 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: and slicing off their rivals heads. So apparently, the US 387 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: ambassador to Mexico said that we've been talking to Mexico 388 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: about doing more to stop the scourge of fentanyl to 389 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: protect both countries, and there was some talk by a 390 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: couple of Congress people that maybe the US needs to 391 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: take its own military action in Mexico to stop the cartels. 392 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: And that's what got Amlo worked up. Well, you're not 393 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: going to do that. I saw. I heard Lindsay Graham. 394 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: He went on I think Fox the other day. I 395 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: heard this, and he was like, let's get the military 396 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: in there, and you know, let's start killing people. That 397 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: was his message, Let's invade Mexico. Yeah, oh, you mean 398 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: I just send out the drones and out Yeah, exactly, 399 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: do the drones or do some targeted attacks. I mean 400 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: the cartel is marching along there in the Mexican If 401 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: they're killing look and they got their their their big 402 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: wheel or a big wagon of fentnel. Yeah right, yeah, 403 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: blow it up. I mean either either seventy thousand dead 404 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: people a year is either a good thing or a 405 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: bad thing, right right. If it's a bad thing, then 406 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: you have to take action against the country sending it here. 407 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: That would be Mexico. So so do it. If you 408 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: don't do it means you don't care. I'm thinking the 409 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: message to American families is, look, the Biden administration doesn't care. 410 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: Most of the administrations never cared. Clearly the Mexican administration. 411 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Amlo basically is a spokesman for the drug cartels. Right, 412 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: so of course he's going to say we don't have 413 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: a problem here. Of course he is. And he doesn't 414 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: say that he's gonna get He's gonna get the drone. 415 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: And there could be two reasons for that, either he's 416 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: corrupt and paid off, or it's a big part of 417 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: their economy and they don't want to lose this job source, right, 418 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: So they cartels employe a lot of people. It's not 419 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: a good thing, but that's the truth, and they pay 420 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: them with right. So of course he's gonna say, hey, 421 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: it's all on you guys. You guys are the customers, 422 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: the consumers. So it goes back to our administration. Why 423 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't we be going in there and killing people. I 424 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: don't care if it's an invasion, so what. That's what 425 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: our military's for to stop a threat that's a threat, 426 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: huge threats Otherwise, you know, if you've got kids, you 427 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: really are on your own. You've got to figure out 428 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: some way to convince them not to take a single 429 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: pill outside of what the doctors prescribe. Yeah, the Times 430 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: to a story that if you go to Mexico and 431 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: you buy drugs at Mexican pharmacies, there's a really good 432 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: chance that's going to be fentanyl. And apparently some American 433 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: tourists are overdosing and dying. I'm not talking about here, 434 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: I'm talking about because a lot well, what have we 435 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: just learned last week, and a woman and her family 436 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: went to Mexico to have a tummy tuck. So people 437 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: had medical procedures in Mexico. A lot of people go 438 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: there too because the drugs are a lot cheaper, So 439 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: some of them are just going to Mexican pharmacies and 440 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: they're ending up with pills full of fentyl. And the 441 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: FEDS were first alerted in the spring of twenty nineteen 442 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: by a California medical examiner. They found that a twenty 443 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: nine year old Brennan Horrell had died of a fentonyl 444 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: overdose after he and a friend bought pills at a 445 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: drug store in Cabo, San Lucas, Kabo. Don't get any 446 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: prescriptions to Cabo. Yeah, oh, that's where she got covid. 447 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: That's where she got COVID. See, it's a good thing 448 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: she didn't go to the pharmacy and try to get 449 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: a medication for it. She might have had the fentyl. 450 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: Some pharmacies, including several and Cabbo, are are not only 451 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: passing off fentinyl pills as legitimate oxy codone, but also 452 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: selling meth tablets as adderall. Oh, yeah, that's so, and 453 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: so are the fens knew about it here in this 454 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: country and did nothing about it, and it didn't even 455 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: alert the public. And then you have you have these 456 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: FENTONYL pills showing up now in prescriptions in America. I 457 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: think in Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia area, several people have 458 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: died and they were taking some legitimate pharmacies. You're talking 459 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: about buying them off of social media sellers. Um, well, 460 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: it would scare me if they're coming from legitimate pharmacis. 461 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: I think it came I've checked the story, but I 462 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: think it came from legitimate pharmacies that somehow gotten to 463 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: the supply. No, I'll see. That's what I'm afraid of, right, 464 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: Not that I'd buy pills from pharmacies, but I mean 465 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: that that's going to create a bigger problem though, if 466 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: that gets I think that, Yeah, I mean it's really 467 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: bad and we're just standing around. Now, why are we 468 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: standing around? I wonder why that is? We should not 469 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: stand around. John wants to send in drones and make smudges. Yeah, 470 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: I think that you know that that took care of 471 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: the terrorist problem to a large extent. Hi, we got 472 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: more coming up, John and ken KF.

They were rushing the Paso del Norte 491 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: Bridge in El Paso, Texas. It links Mexico to the US. 492 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: And you know, there is several theories about how to 493 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: make your way into the US, sneak your way where 494 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: there's no border patrol agents and maybe they're the only 495 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: one and kind of get into the unguarded to open 496 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: another idea. Should just be in a crowd, make a rush. 497 00:27:36,880 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: Here's what it sounded like. Apparently there was a sign 498 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: on the bridge which is uh Felice Village, which is 499 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: Happy Travels. There was there was some joker who posted 500 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,239 Speaker 1: online the false story that if you just showed up 501 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: at the border, they were going to let you in. 502 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: Oh that's what prompts is That's what I heard on 503 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: It was like a special sale. Yeah, special offer, show 504 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: up today at the appointed time and you get into 505 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: the US easily. Fox said, that's that's where it originated. 506 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: Was there a picture of like Biden was? It is 507 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: his Twitter account saying come on in honestly? So, how 508 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: many of these made it through? Do we know? It? 509 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: Says they brought in reinforcements and the Mexican military attempted 510 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: to contain the incident on their side of the bridge. 511 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: But I can't tell whether or not some people were 512 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: able to make it into the scramble or what happened. 513 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: They ended up with a line of Mexican agents on 514 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: the Mexican side of the border, and then border patrol 515 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: agents on the US side of the border. So now 516 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: you had to get through two lines of guys with guns. Now, 517 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: so I think that that stopped the run. This could 518 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: have been like a concert stampede. This was dangerous, right 519 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: because it says people in the back, we're telling people 520 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: in the front keep pushing forward. Yeah, I know, no, 521 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: eventually someone loses their ability to breathe. And there were 522 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: there were little kids in there. People brought their kids 523 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: to get stomped in this stampede. Well, it's you got 524 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: to get into the US. It's important is you make 525 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: your move. Like you said, it was a special offer. 526 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: But you know, but see how quickly social media creates chaos. 527 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: It's like somebody could post something about a bank bank run, right, 528 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: somebody posts something about, hey, the border's open today. There 529 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: you go. It's gonna be more of this. It's gonna 530 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: be a lot more of this. Everything's gone connect to 531 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: social media. Conway's here, hey know know know you know 532 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: you guys were on the air, so you missed this, 533 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: but I got to witness it.
