1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: I AM six forty.

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. Johnny ket Sjow, John Gobel, Ken

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Champeau I Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 3: Well, we're going to bring you up to date now

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 3: on a very dangerous piece of legislation in Sacramento Assembly

7
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: Bill six four five. It's the work of an assembly

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: woman from Glendale by the name of Laura Friedman, who

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: we threw in the dumpster. It's the evil speed cameras,

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: a pilot program that they're kicking off, and of course

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: they'd eventually like to bring this to the rest of

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: the state, to a community near you. I remember the

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: whole red light camera nonsense. Speed cameras. They do exactly

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: what you think they're gonna do. They could send you

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: a ticket if you travel a certain miles per hour

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: over the posted speed limit. The update is coming once

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: again from our expert source. Jay Bieber is director of

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: public Policy for the National Motorists Association as well as

19
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: executive director of course for years of Safer Streets and

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: Enemy number one is an assembly Woman Laura Friedman from Pasadena.

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: She's the chairwoman of the Transportation Committee, and she's the

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: one pushing this nonsense. Jay, how are you.

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: Other than this? Bill? I'm great and it's great to

24
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 4: talk to you. And I this is the last time

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 4: that I was on so I know you were out

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: like destroying the planet, like flying somewhere or driving somewhere around.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: I spent my vacation. I left my car idling for

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 2: the whole week. That's what I was doing, all right, exceptly.

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 4: I hope you don't have any effect on the planet.

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Well, not living your life plants the same temperature.

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 2: Just quick rundown for people who are not familiar, because

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: this kind of story takes a long time to penetrate.

34
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: What's the speed camera idea? In general terms?

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 4: Okay, so if you're familiar with the red light camera program,

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 4: similar idea, which is that if you go a certain

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: miles of pour over the speed limit, and usually that's

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 4: on where the speed limit has been lowered to a

39
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: speed that's not really realistic for the way the speed

40
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: the road has been built, you would get a ticket

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: in the mail. You would have. This would be actually

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: different than read light cameras, which is that the ticket

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: would go to the car owner, not the person who

44
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: was driving. You have no way to defend yourself. It

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 4: would go it would have a local hearing in an

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: administrative hearing that would be run by the city, not

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: by the court. So you have actually no rights with

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: regards to that. And it's just basically a way to

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 4: confiscate your money for driving your car.

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Is that legal?

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: Is it legal to give a ticket and take money

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: from someone who may not have committed the crime, who

53
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: did not commit the crime.

54
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: Well that's actually a really good question, and they're doing

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 4: it in certain realms right now, in other places around

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 4: the country. So unless you know, we say, is it legal? Well,

57
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: do I think it's moral? Is it ethical? I don't

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: think so.

59
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: Just understand, how could you accuse somebody of an infraction

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: when they didn't do it.

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand that.

62
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right, And that's one of the arguments against

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: this bill, and it's one of the arguments against this

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: whole scheme, which is at least with the red light cameras,

65
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: as bad as it was, it was exactly the same violation,

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 4: and you had it identify the driver. It's too inconvenient

67
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: for them to identify the driver, So how do you

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: penalize more people for driving the cars. Well, you just

69
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 4: make the owner of the vehicle responsible. And they say, well,

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: you know, it's no different than getting a parking ticket,

71
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: except a parking ticket is very different. It's for putting

72
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: your car somewhere where it doesn't belong. It's not for

73
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: an app like a safety action, where you supposedly are

74
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: doing something that's unsafe. And the other part of it

75
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: which will potentially lead to legal challenges if this bill

76
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: becomes law, is that they are using the cameras for

77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: the same infraction that if you were pulled over by

78
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: a police officer, but they're using the cameras to do it,

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: and that basic speed law does not apply to the

80
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: way they have this camera system set up. So there

81
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: is a potential to you to challenge this.

82
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 2: But it sounds like they're intentionally setting up a speed trap.

83
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: You say, they lower the speed limits to a number

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: that is below what is normal to drive. And we've

85
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: talked in the past that you cannot set a speed

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: limit too low because it it the way the human

87
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: mind perceives the speed that they're driving based on the

88
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: nature of the road. We're going to go at a

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: certain speed. That's just in our nature to go at

90
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: a certain speeds.

91
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. And if anybody doubts this, try going

92
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 4: on a big wide street with a lot of lane

93
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: and try driving twenty or twenty five miles an hour

94
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 4: when no one's around so you don't cause an accident.

95
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: But try doing that and see how it feels. You

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 4: can't keep it up for any length of talk.

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: So it's an artificially low speed.

98
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: We're just going to change the number on the sign

99
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 4: and people are going to comply with it. It's not

100
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: possible for people to build it.

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: It's too artificially low, and your brain's going to reject it.

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: And then they're gonna go, ah ha, we got you

103
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,239
Speaker 2: on camera, and that that that's that's that's creepy and wrong.

104
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: It is, it's it's wrong on a whole bunch of

105
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 4: other levels. And it's and here's the thing. I know

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 4: there's a lot of talk about, like you know, speeding drivers,

107
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: and certainly there are people who are out street racing

108
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: and doing very dangerous things. There's no question about that,

109
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 4: and we all want to get those people off the road.

110
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 4: This is a program that would target the average person

111
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: the mom who's taken their kids to school, or the

112
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: soccer practice that's going you know, the maid or the

113
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 4: gardener that's just trying to get to work and work

114
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 4: their low wage job, and then they're gonna drive and

115
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: they're gonna get one of these tickets, and you know

116
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 4: a portion of their day's pay is going to go

117
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: away because this was a camera that just basically caught

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 4: them for driving the way they built. The government built

119
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 4: the road a certain way and then says, no, we

120
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: don't want you to drive that speed. We're gonna give

121
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: you a ticket. But it's really about trying to penalize

122
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 4: people who drive cars.

123
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: Well, seeing is because you're they always say, oh, well,

124
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: we're just trying to say lives because pedestrians are dying.

125
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: I've looked at the maps where the pedestrians get run over.

126
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: It's in the areas where where homelessness is prevalent. There

127
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: are so many people who are drunk and drugged out

128
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: who get run over by cars because they are stumbling

129
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: around in the dark. I mean, I mean, and now

130
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: they want to go after ordinary citizens or like you said,

131
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: the street racers. They don't do anything to stop the

132
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: street racers but they're going to come after us and

133
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: use the street racing crimes as their excuse.

134
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: Exactly, And the excuse is, well, you know, pedestrians are

135
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 4: pedestrians are dying in larger numbers. Well, the fact of

136
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: the matter is that speed on unsafe speed is not

137
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: a major factor in terms of pedestrian fatalities. It's simply not.

138
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 4: It's not not the cause of them. But one of

139
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: the things that I found out is some of my

140
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 4: recent research, which we're going to release at some point

141
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: in the near future, is that if you look at

142
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: the rise in what they call complete streets, a lot

143
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 4: of these bike lanes and all this stuff that they're

144
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: doing to change the nature of the street, if you

145
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: look at the increase in those projects around the country

146
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: over the years, it tracks exactly, almost exactly with the

147
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: rise in pedestrian fatalities because they're putting more people in

148
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 4: harms way, they're putting baseless in harm way, harms way,

149
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,119
Speaker 4: because they're mixing different types of traffic. And they're also

150
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: not keeping the people who are able to protect themselves,

151
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: they're not making them responsible for their own safety. And yes,

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: it has a lot to do with the homelessness, and

153
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: the people that are wandering around in the street that

154
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: don't belong in the street.

155
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: All right, I got to tell you quick story what

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: I saw today which illustrates your point. We're stopped at

157
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: a light on the west side, my wife and I

158
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: and there are a number of cars who are going

159
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: down the right lane to make a right on red

160
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: at the light. But that right on red lane also

161
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: overlaps with the bike lane, and there's there's bicyclists who

162
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: are stopped at the light, but they're partially blocking the

163
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: cars that want to make.

164
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: The right on red.

165
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: And the bicyclist is getting angry and he's waving his

166
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: arm and all these cars that are really buzzing right

167
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: by him, really close, and they're making their right turn.

168
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: And then there's another bicyclist and he sneaks up on

169
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: the right side and cuts this guy off.

170
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: And now the.

171
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: Bicyclist is shaking his fist at the other cyclist, so

172
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: and and the whole thing is a complete mess, and

173
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: it's a city made mess. Now that cyclist gets into

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: an accident, a car hits them or another cyclist hits them.

175
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, he ends up being a statistic why.

176
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: Because he's he's biking at an intersection right with a

177
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: traffic light where he shouldn't be. They shouldn't be allowing

178
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: bicyclists in the on the street. It's too busy, there's

179
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: too much action going on.

180
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 4: Exactly, We don't there's a reason why we don't put

181
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 4: bicyclists and pedestrians on freeways are on highways, just we

182
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 4: don't do it because the traffic shouldn't be mixed with that.

183
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: There are appropriate places for bike lanes and things like

184
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: that on you know, small streets, in places that you

185
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 4: know where it's safe for somebody to bike and to

186
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: and and to be out on the street that way.

187
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: But on major major throopists. I don't know which street

188
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 4: this was, but I'm sure it was something like Olympic

189
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 4: or you know, one of the main boulevards. And and

190
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: when you look at the statistics of for pedestrians and bicyclists,

191
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 4: more than fifty percent are of the fatalities are caused

192
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: by something that the pedestrian or the bicyclists did wrong

193
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 4: according to the law, and which is one of the

194
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: reasons why they keep trying to change the law and

195
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: make these things not not illegal, because they don't want

196
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: they don't want the pedestrians and the bicyclists to be

197
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: responsible for any of this stuff. So, you know, it's

198
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: it's this sort of idea that the streets are actually

199
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 4: for bicyclists and pedestrians. They want to all go back

200
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 4: to the nineteen hundreds before motor cars and get the

201
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 4: horse and buggies and stuff like that. This is what

202
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: they would like. This is the way they would like

203
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 4: us to live our lives.

204
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: Right, Jay, we have to go. But where can people do?

205
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: They can go to Safer Streets la dot org.

206
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, go to Safer Streets la dot org. There's a

00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 4: page in order for people to make a phone call

212
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: to the senator, the state Senator, Anthony Portantino. He's not

213
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: our enemy, okay, but he will decide on whether this

214
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: bill moves forward from his Appropriations Committee in the Senate

Speaker 1: Yeah.

247
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: So we just got done talking to Jay Bieber, the

248
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: director of public Policy for the National Motors Association and

249
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: also of course executive director of Longtime Say for Streets.

250
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: I like this is important because this is how they

251
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: get you.

252
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we did.

253
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: A lot on the red light cameras years ago, and

254
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: then of course the famous road diet work that we

255
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: did back in twenty seventeen. The new idea is the

256
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 3: speed camera. This is another money grab, but it's also

257
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: for the crowd that thinks, oh, too many people are

258
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 3: dying on our roads and I hate cars and they

259
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: drive too fast. So in some and we talked about

260
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 3: this with Jay, what they're trying to do, and you

261
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: hear them talk about this all the time is lower

262
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 3: the speed limits because it's unsafe out there. Well, they

263
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: do that, and then they get you with the speed

264
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 3: camera ticket.

265
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: They want money, so of course they have to invent

266
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: a fake problem, of fake crisis. The people who end up,

267
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: how the hell do you die.

268
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: In the street? Seriously, how does that happen?

269
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: If you just follow one rule, look both ways, it's

270
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: impossible for you to die in the street.

271
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 3: I've almost been run over a few times, but you weren't.

272
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 3: I wasn't, but it was. It was close, because you know,

273
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: people just came out of nowhere and they were I did.

274
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: Look.

275
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: But some people drive so fast and they turn left.

276
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: Usually that's what happened. I'm in a crosswalk and they

277
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 3: just come flying up and turn left, right in front

278
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: of me or behind me.

279
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: Look, in a city, most of the people walk in

280
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: the streets are like our mental patients and drug addics

281
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: and vagrants and weirdos.

282
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 3: You know, I thought most of the vagrants are dying

283
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: from overdoses. They're dying from getting it by cars.

284
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

285
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: Yes, if they survived the overdose, they get run over

286
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: by a car or they pass out from the overdose

287
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: in the street. No, that's what's going on here. It's

288
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: people stumbling around in the dark and they get run over,

289
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 2: probably by drunks who are.

290
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: Speeding down down the boulevards, and then you heard Jay mention.

291
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: Apparently it doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's

292
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: important to note that there are some actors out there.

293
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: This is called streets Blog. They're bicycle advocates.

294
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 3: And they did a hit piece on him where they

295
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 3: called him a gadfly and they tried to rip them

296
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: because he's been effective in fighting this bill in Sacramento.

297
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: You know what, They get money from the cities like

298
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Tax money goes to many of these bike

299
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: advocacy groups. So again it's another racket, another scam.

300
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: But they're powerful lobbyists, so we can't ignore them. No,

301
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: most of you listening right now are like what streets

302
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: blog dell. They don't care that you don't know who

303
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: they are. They're up there in places like Sacramento and

304
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: La City government advocating to take the roads away from cars.

305
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: And there's pep rich people who donate money to these groups,

306
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: and they also get public money, and so it's a

307
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: job to them, and their job is make a lot

308
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: of noise, make a big rock isss, try to win

309
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: Tim mid eight, I mean, who's a fanatic about biking?

310
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: I mean I've been biking since I was a little kid.

311
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: How do you get to be a fanatic about biking?

312
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: Where I want to take over the road now, I

313
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: want to lane to myself. In fact, I'm more important

314
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: than a car. Who thinks like that, they.

315
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: Think they're in the Tour de France or something. Do

316
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: you get bike races? They're very serious.

317
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: How can you go from being a little kid in

318
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: a tricycle on a sidewalk in front of your parents house.

319
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: How do you end up being some looney tune who

320
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: wants to rid the roads of all motor cars?

321
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you?

322
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: Go to a park, go to the beach or something,

323
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: find a bike lane and spend your days biking around

324
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: like you're eight years old.

325
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm an adult. I need a car.

326
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're doing with your life, but

327
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: if you're on a bike, you're evidently not in a

328
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: hurry to get anywhere, to be a success at anything.

329
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,080

Speaker 7: One point nine trillion dollars relief so far. Yeah, cliptocracy

00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 7: and the guys who are the kleptocracy. Representative Jackie you here,

354
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,399

356
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 6: tour of Bidenville before your extended stay, here's John and Ken.

357
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 2: I was just reading that most of the political Democrats

358
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: in Washington. They see the polls, they see that seventy

359
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: seven percent of the public thinks Biden's too old.

360
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're panicking. They don't know what to do. But

361
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: if he's a nominee, what are people going to do? Well,

362
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: they want to they gotta come up.

363
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: They don't know what's gonna win this nomination unless he collapses,

364
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 3: like you said, But I know, I think they if

365
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 3: he's up against Trump, and then we're going to talk

366
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 3: about a third party candidate who's getting some attention because

367
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: that can get when elections really close.

368
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: Second screwed things.

369
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: Up so now because nobody has the courage to tell

370
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: the truth out loud.

371
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: That's why the story that most of the media doesn't cover,

372
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: but certain outlets do, concerns the business dealing of the Bidens,

373
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: Joe and Hunter.

374
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: The revelation this week is that the.

375
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 3: National Archives has fifty four hundred emails and records linked

376
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: to Joe Biden's email aliases he well he was vice president,

377
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 3: was using names like Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and jrb

378
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: Ware to send the emails, and it's believed that this

379
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 3: was his way of discussing business with Hunter. Biden and associates.

380
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, to influence pedal.

381
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: Right, it was his back doorway of just disguising his identity.

382
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: So like they used all these bank accounts and family

383
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 3: members to collect the money.

384
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, he had this corruption operation running from inside

385
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 2: the White House when he was vice president.

386
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: That's when he had the most power until he became president.

387
00:18:59,560 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 6: Right.

388
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: He was using his ability to influence or control certain events,

389
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: and he was selling. He was selling his services through Hunter.

390
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: Hunter would do the negotiations, and Hunter would collect the

391
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: money and then distribute it to everybody in the family.

392
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask yourself, who would.

393
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: Pay Hunter Biden millions of dollars to do what? Especially

394
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: foreign companies. We're doing this, right.

395
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: He got an eighty thousand dollars diamond from a Chinese

396
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: energy company executive, the chairman named Yi xiong Ming. He's

397
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: a member of the Chinese Communist Party. He gave it

398
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: eighty thousand dollars diamond to Hunter Biden.

399
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: Why because he's cute? Why Joe and man give another

400
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: man a diamond.

401
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: Joe Biden stopped by the Four Seasons Hotel where Hunter

402
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: was dining with executives of CEFC, And that's the organization

403
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: where the chairman gave Hunter the eighty thousand dollars diamond.

404
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: And this is from a Biden business associate, Rob Walker.

405
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: Walker had told IRS investigators that that's what was going on,

406
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: and then the IRS employee, Gary Shapley, has testified before

407
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: Congress telling this story because that's what Biden was up to.

408
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: You always wonder what does a vice president do all day?

409
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: This is what Biden was doing. He was getting himself

410
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: and his family rich.

411
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: Now it's way too early, of course, the way things

412
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: are bizarrely mapping out in this presidential race. So Emerson

413
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: just released a poll a hypothetical matchup between Trump and Biden.

414
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: It's forty six Trump forty four Biden.

415
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: But when you.

416
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 3: Add in I didn't know this until a few weeks ago.

417
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 3: There's a guy running on the Green Party a ticket

418
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: named Cornell West. He's grabbing like five percent from Biden.

419
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: He's a fairly well known professor. Yes, I have heard

420
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: his name, but I didn't know he was running. He's

421
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: the Green Party.

422
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: Can have you seen him? Have I seen him? Yeah?

423
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: He's black and he has Don King's hairstyle. Oh no,

424
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: I have not seen him at a big thick beard. Yeah,

425
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: he's written many books. Like he's a professor. You said, oh, yeah, yeah,

426
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: he's a professor, intellectual. He speaks well, very striking, like

427
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: if well, if he gets involved in the public debate,

428
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: he could, he could.

429
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: I could see him drawing a few percent of the vote.

430
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: Says here, he's drawing seven percent of independence, eight percent

431
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 3: of black people, seven percent Hispanics. And these are all

432
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: demographics that help Biden win in twenty twenty. Right, So

433
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 3: they're not they're not Trump. People that would have voted

434
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 3: for Trump, they could vote for Cornell West. Right, there's Biden.

435
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 3: People most likely remember what was that woman's name, Jill

436
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: something that rains Jim Stein, Jill Stein.

437
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: He was a Green Party candidate who screwed Hillary, and

438
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: it's right they blamed that woman, right, and Ralph Nader

439
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: screwed Al Gore against George Bush right years ago.

440
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: Just by taking a few percent and in a few

441
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: key states, it can make a real difference on the

442
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 3: Republican side. This poll didn't show a hell of a

443
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: lot of difference because Trump ditched the debate, and also

444
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: because he keeps getting indicted.

445
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: He lost a little bit of I think there was

446
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: a drop in.

447
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: Whether or not they would vote for Trump if he

448
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: is convicted, a little bit drop in the support for that.

449
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: But overall, do you know he has not only those

450
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 3: four trials criminal trials coming up, he's got two civil trials.

451
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: He's got a face during the same period of time. Oh,

452
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: that woman, the woman who's suing for defamation who claims

453
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: that Trump raped or raped or right, because he still

454
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 3: will not cop to that and is claiming she lies.

455
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: And then there's this other one which I forgot about,

456
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: but in New York City, he's getting a civil lawsuit

457
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: that Trump and his sons inflated the value of their

458
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: properties owned by the Trump organization in order to get loans. Yeah,

459
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: oh now, and he's gonna go He's got to go

460
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: to court in October.

461
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: This is coming October for that one. Yeah, I just

462
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: read that.

463
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: The federal trial that they just announced the March fourth

464
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: date that's going to overlap at that New York state

465
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: trial over the Stormy Daniel's money.

466
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: So that's going to be real next year.

467
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: This is obviously going to be the big story because

468

Speaker 1: That's right.

478
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: Some people just like to have voices in their head.

479
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: So if that's what you need to do, just tap

480
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: our parts to everywhere you go. We have this story

481
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: out of Australia making news today. It involves a woman

482
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 3: that well, she had a worm removed from her brain.

483
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: She apparently first came to the hospital's attention because she

484
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: had abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry cough, night sweats about a

485
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: year ago and it got worse. They weren't able to

486
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: figure out what was wrong with her. Then she started

487
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: experiencing forgetfulness and depression. Scans showed changes in her brain.

488
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: So a surgeon by the name of Hari Priya Bandi

489
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 3: was just performing a biopsy through a hole in the

490
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 3: patient's skull to see if they could figure out if

491
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 3: it was a cancerous tumor, and the entire operating room

492
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 3: the jaws dropped because the surgeon used four steps and

493
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 3: pulled out the.

494
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: Worm three inches long? How long? Three inches? Three inch worm?

495
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: And the worm is commonly found in carpet pythons.

496
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: This is a snake.

497
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: And you finally fast forward through this story and the

498
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: woman actually lives near a carpet python habitat and goes

499
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: in there to forage for native vegetation.

500
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: See that's what you get.

501
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: She wants greens to cook. Don't do that, say yeah, yeah,

502
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: stay home and eat meat. That's right, that's gonna happen

503
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 2: to our vegan on the show. Don't go foraging and

504
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: end up with the worm in her brain. The worm's

505
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: eggs are commonly shed in snake droppings, which contaminate the grass.

506
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well snakes reproduced just like people do.

507
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: John, they'll drop eggs. Yeah, well, that's why one of

508
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: them could end up in your brain.

509
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: That's why you don't go picking vegetation. It's not worth

510
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: having a salad, is it?

511
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: Forage? Yeah, you're not supposed to forage. But I don't

512
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: worried about that.

513
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes I walk around and like the forest areas that

514
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: we worring is there's some plant that's gonna give me poison,

515
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: ivy or something there rubbing against it.

516
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: Well, that'll just give you a rash.

517
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was a stunner. They did not know

518
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: this is what they were gonna find. They thought, oh,

519
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: maybe there's a tumor in there. They were just doing

520
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 3: a biopsy and suddenly it's like.

521
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: What is this?

522
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: The worm was wiggling around the brain, was giving all

523
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: kinds of weird symptoms.

524
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: I know.

525
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was still wriggling. So how long it

526
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: been there alive? How long do you think it was

527
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 3: in there? Well, it probably grew from the egg, right

528
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: it hatched.

529
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it hatch was probably living off the brain tissue. Oh,

530
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: you probably got some permanent damage from me. That's why

531
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: she was having forgetfulness and depression. I was eating those

532
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: parts for brain. It was the worm was eating her

533
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: memory and her a happy part of her brain. Oh man,

534
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: all right, conways, man, I got all the symptoms of

535
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: that worm.

536
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

537
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: I don't think you went forging for a vegetation though, No,

538
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: got it.

539
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 8: But when you swim in ponds and stuff like I do,

540
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 8: I'm a pond swimmer.

541
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: You're oh man, were pond scumbled?

542
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 2: People don't know, you know, down the South, people swimming

00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: those ponds because the water is very warm. Amoebis brain

544
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: eating amoebas. Get your nose and that's it. Yeah, it's

545
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: your brain.

546
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: You die.

547
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 8: It's over right. Well, you got to go one way

548
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 8: or another. You know who cares. And the heat wave

549
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,640
