1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: It's not a way to start the shot. Oh god, 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: oh what are you doing to us? Oh? Oh, I 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: got a jolt of pain going down my neck. It 4 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: almost blew out my hair. Did you electrocute yourself? No? 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Now that actually that would have been fun. Actually triggered 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: some kind of nerve in my neck into my shoulder. 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: I think I gave myself a stroke. Are you moving 8 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: the microphone? No? The kind a new pair of headphones 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: and they've already malfunctioned. They broke. There's a shorten it. 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: So I plugged the headphones in and it was on way, 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: way too loud, but I couldn't hear it. So I 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: turned it even louder, and then it finally clicked in 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: and blew my brains out. Wow. Yeah, I've had what 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: you're talking about. Where you there's something down your neck 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: and it gets like this warm, kind of weird. Did 16 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: you get that? You feel like it might be a 17 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: stroke or some kind of strange it. It's like my 18 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: ear got overstimulated the nerve and so it started shooting 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: nerve pain all over. Wow. I don't know, I need 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: to nap it together. We were hoping today to have 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: Rick Caruso on the show. Of course he's running for 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 1: La mayor. He had some family obligations, but well we'll 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: rebook that. The breaking news this afternoon is that it 24 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: looks like he's getting Joe Buscoyano's one percent in the pull, 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: so whooo, well that'll help. Buscoyano dropped out. So one 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: less candidate should have been Kevin di Leone or the Mustache. Yeah, 27 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: one of those two give up because they should. You know, 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: Joe at least had some good ideas. Yeah, Joe and 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: Rick were kind of saying the same thing, and just 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: I thought Joe was harsher about it, which is good. 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: But you know, Carrisso's got the money, dileone and and 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: Mike Fear or such losers. There's such clowns and they 33 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: really are just noise. We're all going to talk about 34 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Karen Bass coming up. It's a good one. He's pretty 35 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: worked up over an ad that's running by a police 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: union about her and you'll hear what it is, and 37 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: it's tied into that. We haven't talked about this a while, 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: the Mark Ridley Thomas scandal out of the USC Remember 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: that story. Yeah, it looks like connected to that sort 40 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: of well it she wants it to stop airing and 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: we'll look bunny why she's saying she got the same 42 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: deal that Bridley Thomas's son got from the same who's 43 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: been indicted. All right, obviously, big story of this said 44 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: broke yesterday afternoon on our show, the fire down to 45 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: Laguna Agel. They do call it the coast fire because 46 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: that's the coastal fire, because that's where it was, and 47 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: it burned at least twenty homes very quick, high winds 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: coming in off the ocean. These were not Santa Anas, 49 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: but it was dry yesterday and of course a lot 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: of vegetation burned up quickly and then the homes burned. 51 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: Corbyn Carson is covering the story for k IF. I 52 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: will bring them on for an update, Gorbon, what's going 53 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: on now, Yeah, guys, it's been a tough twenty four 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: hours for this community. A lot of this A lot 55 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: of people are just getting in today to get a 56 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: look at their homes, even if their homes are now 57 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: just a pile of rubble. Fire crews have been pouring 58 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: water on that rubble to try to get out any 59 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: spot fires. And then just as you, just as we 60 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: came on, now the wind is I don't know if 61 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: you can hear it is just now starting to kick up. 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: So that's the main concern that they've been They've been 63 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: trying to trying to get a handle on and get 64 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: ready for this afternoon. But I've been through this neighborhood 65 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: in Coronado Point for like the last twenty four hours, 66 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: and man, these houses are just destroyed. One home, three car, 67 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: garage doors still standing, the rest of the home just gone. 68 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: Another house looks fine from the outside, but the inside 69 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: looks like a raging inferno. And you gotta yet another 70 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: house that has a car in front of it. It's 71 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: completely an ashes like the car. I can't even tell 72 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: you what type it is. But even more importantly, I 73 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: just finished talking to a guy. You know, he's standing 74 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: in front of the house with a smile on his face, 75 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: and at first I just thought he was somebody else, 76 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: and turned out the destruction, the destroyed house was his. 77 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: And I asked him, you know, he was in a 78 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: great move. He said, you gotta just you gotta move on, 79 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. But I asked him about 80 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: some of the things that he lost. Oh no, I 81 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: had the CDs of all my kids, when they were younger, 82 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: and I was talking to my middle boy Craig to 83 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: um be able to put those on onto the computer 84 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: and so we'd have it in in the internet. Uh, 85 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: we were going to do in the next couple of weeks. 86 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: And all that I had, like thirty to forty of 87 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: when they were at you know, Yellowstone and everything else, 88 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: and all they're growing up and that's all gone. It's 89 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: just so sad. And then you know, another thing that's 90 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: really interesting that he was telling me is this community 91 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: had just done some preparation for wildfires, and you know, 92 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: they had just cleaned up all the back edge, like 93 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, thirty feet down all the way. I said, 94 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, that's a nice barrier. That's nice that they're 95 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: doing that. And when I heard the fire and said, 96 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: oh they got the barrier, they got the house in 97 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: front of me, there's just no way and it's gonna 98 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: hit me. Well, life was wrong. First time I've ever 99 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: been wrong. By the way. That was great though, I mean, 100 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: just his attitude he had. I mean, we're talking, he 101 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: just got to look at his house ten minutes and 102 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: I and I'm and I'm talking to him and he's 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: he's already in the good spirits about it. But it's 104 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: been too terrible. Were we have We have heard some 105 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: of some you know, there's an investigation going on with 106 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: the cause, uh and and and trying to figure out 107 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: what that is. But h and that's not yet determined. 108 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: But so cal Edison has sent a letter to the 109 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: Public Utilities Commission saying circuit activity occurring close in time 110 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: to the reported time of the fire. Now, that could 111 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: be a down line. What does that mean in English? Exactly? 112 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: That's what in front of it. Could be a down line, 113 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: could be anything. But at this point, at least this 114 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: is corresponding to the time. You know, some homeowners were 115 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: saying the power went out right before the fire was started. 116 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: So all that's still needing to be concerned confirmed. Wow, 117 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: but an electric company starting a massive wild thing I 118 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: never heard before. Huh you got you got a scoop there, right, Yeah. 119 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: So other than that, we're waiting for this press conference, 120 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: which will be the next up next update to find 121 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: out if there's any you know, containment on this. A 122 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: lot of the smoke and and and uh fire has 123 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: been gone for most of the day. There's just been 124 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: little spots spot fires here and there at least in 125 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: the houses and they've been hitting that in the air 126 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: and on the ground. So we'll be hearing more on 127 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: where they stand with the fire. At five. Are people 128 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: returning to the homes that weren't burned? I'm sorry I 129 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: lost you you say, are people returning to them? They returning, 130 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: because it's estimated nine homes were evacuated right now, as 131 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: as as far as I'm understanding, those evacuations are still 132 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: in place. That people, you know, some people are making 133 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: their way in to get a look at their homes. 134 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: You can see people rolling their suitcases up you know, 135 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: this long inc because this is at the top of 136 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: the hill of this canyon where the fire pushed up 137 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: and um, you know, they're getting a look at their home. 138 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: But as of right now, the evacuations are still in place. 139 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: All right, Corbyn, we'll set you off to cover that 140 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: press conference at five. Thanks for coming on, much appreciated, guys. 141 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: Thinks all right, Corbyn Carson in Orange County. This is 142 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: the Coronado Point neighborhood of Laguna Niguel and this fire 143 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: broke out about two forty five yesterday afternoon, but in 144 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: just a couple of hours. Thanks to the coastal winds. 145 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: It was it was actually kind of cool. It was 146 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: a cool day. This wasn't one of your Santa Anna 147 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: condition fires. It just and there was actually seventy percent humidity, 148 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: which is not low. But it just the winds. So, 149 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: as I read some of the firefighters description ember driven. 150 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: So that's the danger. Just carries the winds, carry and 151 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: a little ember into someone else's yard or some vegetation 152 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: around someone's home where they land on nath they go 153 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: into the eaves, like into the vents at the top 154 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: of your home right and or on the roof, and 155 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 1: if it gets inside the house through the through the vents, 156 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: you know for air conditioning ventilation. It says here embers 157 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: get inside attic vents and catch vegetation right up next 158 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: to a home on fire. So but as you heard 159 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: Corbyn say, neighbors were like, well, just a few days ago, 160 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: everybody was clearing the defensible space they called it around 161 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: the homes. And I guess it wasn't enough for some 162 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: of them. Save we got we gotta see where this 163 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: electrical short was, where the spark was, because it seems 164 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: like so Edison started the fire. Of course you'll see 165 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: how many jackasses at five o'clock? What was the phrase 166 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: I kept hearing yesterday. Yes, it's a fire season is 167 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: year around. Now, that's because the power companies start fires 168 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: year around. Well, you know this is a consequence of 169 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: global warming and climate change. No, it's a consequence of sloppy, 170 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: unmaintenanced electrical equipment, whether it's so call Edison down here 171 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: or p Genie up north, these things. What it happened 172 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: is frequently if the power companies that we pay the 173 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: highest rates in the nation too would do their jobs 174 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: properly underground, underground, Yeah, which they should have done. Expensive 175 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: and tough to do, but yeah, but they should have 176 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: done it a hundred years ago. I think if you 177 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: live in one of these communities which is fire prone, 178 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: you gotta seriously consider in the power lines underground. Somehow, 179 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: every everything's always going to be expensive. At some point 180 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: you just had to do it. You have to do it. Yeah, 181 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: how many times your house burned down before you could 182 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: have that would have paid for the undergrounding And instead 183 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: of the executive slobs at these companies run off with 184 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: big with big golden parachutes millions of dollars after they 185 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: finally get a run out of their office. Wow, all right, Well, 186 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: we will of course be carrying that news conference for 187 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: an update on the fire in Laguna Miguel at five 188 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: o'clock here on KFI. When we come back, find out 189 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: what mayoral candidate Congresswoman Karen Bass has worked up about. 190 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: It's an ad that's running coming up next, ad that 191 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: tells the truth. Big story last year concerned an Ela 192 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: County supervisor who actually moved on to the La City Council. 193 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: He's back and forth with somebody jobs. It was Mark 194 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas, and of course he got indicted in a 195 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: big case out of USC where the contention in the 196 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: charges against him was that in return forgetting his son's 197 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: Sebastian into USC graduate school with a full tuition scholarship, 198 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: a paid professorship, and I think he had some job 199 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: with a nonprofit associated with the school in return, Margaret 200 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: Lee Thomas Steard County contracts towards USC's School of Social Work. 201 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: That's the contention up now. Yeah, we're waiting for that trial. 202 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to happen in August, is what 203 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: I remember? That? Should that be good summer entertainment? Yeah, 204 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: a lot of things things get delayed. Watch watch Ridley 205 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: Thomas twitch. This was the USC's Marilyn Flynn. She was 206 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: also charged in the federal bribery case involving La County contracts. 207 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: At the time, Ridley Thomas was on the La County 208 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors. So we turned out to a candidate 209 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: for mayor. Who's the council sorry, the congresswoman Karen Bass. 210 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: And here is a brand new ad that was taken 211 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: out by the Los Angeles Police Protective League. They spent 212 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: two million dollars worth of ads, and of course they 213 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: do support Rick Caruso for mayor. Councilman Mark Ridley Thomas, 214 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: an x USC dean Maryland Flynn indicted for bribery conspiring 215 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: to steer taxpayer funds to USC in exchange for free 216 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: tuition for Ridley Thomas's son. In Congress, Karen Bass took 217 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: ninety five thousand dollars in free tuition from the same 218 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: indicted USC dan then repeatedly voted to give USC millions 219 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: in taxpayer funds. Ridley Thomas and Flynn face decades in jail, 220 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: But Karen Bass wants to be LA's next mayor. That 221 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: doesn't seem right. Here you go. Now she is asking 222 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: that these ads stopped playing on LA TV stations. Okay, 223 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: cease and desist. Well they shouldn't cease and desist, because 224 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: here's what happened. Now, look, let's all be fair minded here. 225 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm just going to read line by line, and then 226 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: we'll stop and say, hmmm, does that smell right? First, 227 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: is ten years ago Karen Bass accepted ninety five thousand 228 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: dollars in free tuition from USC for an online masters 229 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: program m. Does that smell right? That you have a 230 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: sitting politician getting a ninety five thousand dollars gift. Well, 231 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: it says here the US House Committee on Ethics cleared 232 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: her to accept the tuition award. Well, that's a committee 233 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: of crux. Of course, they all want free tuition. Of 234 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: course the crooks say that. Now, this is not something 235 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: that anybody else listening. God, did anyone please if I'm wrong? 236 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: Call in? Did anyone else? And she did not disclose 237 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: the full value of her scholarship until and said it 238 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: was some problem with her former chief of staff. Does 239 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: that stink a little bit too? First of all, she doesn't. 240 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: She hasn't mentioned it for nearly ten years. And then 241 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: when finally a question, she points at whatever her flunkey's, 242 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: whatever her lackeys. What she can't disclose a ninety five 243 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: thousand dollars tuition and she chess. By coincidence, it comes 244 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: from the same woman who was indicted with Mark Ridley Thomas. Yeah, 245 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: so Marilyn Flynn appears to have a history of trying 246 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: to reach out to politicians, shall we So Marilyn Flynn 247 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: is under indictment, is going to go to trial for 248 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: I guess accepting a bribe, I mean some some weird 249 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: exchange where Ridley Thomas steers tax money to USC and 250 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,479 Speaker 1: in return, Flynn gives his dud son a fake degree 251 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: and a fake professorship. And now it turns out that 252 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: Karen Bass gets a similar deal free tuition for for 253 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: an online masters program. And by the way, the USC 254 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: School of Social Work, the School of Social Work, social 255 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: work needs to be done. Yeah, well, who I bet you. 256 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: I bet you all the people who work in child 257 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: and family services who killed all those little boys in 258 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: the last few years, I bet you they all had 259 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: degrees in social work or believe they're from USC. But yeah, 260 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: but it's the same thing. So Tom Sagau who's a 261 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 1: spokesman for the police Union's pack, said that her votes 262 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: resulted in more funding for USC. He pointed to a 263 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen news release from USC which discussed a lobbying 264 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: trip in which its trustees, including Rick Caruso, laid out 265 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: their funding priorities with Karen Bass and other lawmakers. Now 266 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: their response is, and here's this, Anna bar John. You 267 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: just mentioned her yesterday with Garsetti. Right's right. She was 268 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: the one who knew about what was going on with 269 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: Garcetti and Rick Jacobs, but she didn't want to hurt Garcetti, 270 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: so she never spoke up. That's why all those while 271 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: all those sex violations were happening in her office that 272 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: she was aware of, but you know, they didn't want 273 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: to hurt Eric. Yes, so now we got to listen 274 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: to her, give us the reason why it's okay for 275 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: Karen Bass to get a ninety five thousand dollars scholarship. 276 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna listen to Anna ba Are right. Yeah, she's 277 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: a spokeshole for the Bass campaign. Yeah, and she says, 278 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: you know, these spending bills were broad. Federal spending bills 279 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: include money for many colleges like UCLA and cal State 280 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: LA and cal State Domingus Hills. How about this? So 281 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: why she's trying to say the money wasn't specifically targeted 282 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: for USC? So to make the connections. Sure, that's how 283 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: they do it. You bury it in, you make sure 284 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: USC's included. She's proud that she got money for California. 285 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: Besides that she had no business taken a ninety five 286 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars scholarship. How many kids in her district? How 287 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: many kids in her district their parents would kill to 288 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: get oh USC, Yes, a USC education and they can't 289 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: because they know this was on money and it's a 290 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: school of social part But I mean, I mean, yeah, yeah, 291 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. It's it's it's a pot of money 292 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: that Mariland Flynn has. The USC has to give to 293 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: poor and middle class kids who ordinarily can't make it. 294 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: And somebody got screwed so that Karen Bass could sit 295 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: at home and give herself a free degree. And who 296 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: is going to fail Karen Bass? By the way, what 297 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: were the odds that she wasn't going to get the 298 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: master's degree? I mean, if it's online, you know, what 299 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: do you have to do? Does anybody fail online? You 300 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: have to stare at a screen. I wondered, by the way, 301 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: when you can look up all the answers if there's 302 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: a test, you can you want You're sitting there online 303 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: in your own little office, and they're charging ninety five 304 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars and for somebody to stare at a screen. Wow. 305 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: The Police Union has set up a website to highlight 306 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: the usc tuition issue, including images of bass, Ridley, Thomas 307 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: and Flynn. Oh that's a good one. Yeah, well tell 308 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: she has not been charged or accused of any wrongdoing. Yeah, 309 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: but it smells. However, you know, a lot of anything 310 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: goes with political advertising, so I don't think she's going 311 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: to have any success getting to down stations. They want 312 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: that two millions. You know what, the basic facts are 313 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: are pretty damning. Okay, what is she doing accepting the 314 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: ninety five thousand dollars for anything and then not just 315 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: closing it, which is a little right, Okay, that smells. 316 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: The whole thing smells. You know what, people who knew 317 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: at a minimum it wouldn't look good. So you talk 318 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: about an elitist. Let me guess I want to hear 319 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: all her speeches about, you know, the struggle of the 320 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: poor and how I have an obligation, you know, in 321 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: order to help the poor and help the children who 322 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: don't have access to education. Well, she was blocking somebody's 323 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: access to education when she got the free tuition. Somebody 324 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: else didn't get that perk. Good lord, all right, we 325 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: got more coming up.

This is not Mothers against drunk driving. 328 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 1: This is mothers against drug deaths. And they got some 329 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: attention because they put up a billboard in San Francisco 330 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: about the drug problem. There. We're going to talk to 331 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: a representative from Mad Mothers against Drug Deaths because the 332 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: whole fentyal thing has got them really worked up. And 333 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: they do not think our politicians are doing enough. They're 334 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: not doing anything. They're not doing anything. The last time 335 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: we covered this, remember that building Sacramento got killed by 336 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: the Public Safety Committee. It was all about just trying 337 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: to warn people like drunk driving. If you're selling people 338 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: drugs laced with ventyl and they die, you could be 339 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: charged with murder if you don't stop that. The people 340 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: that failed, the people most of you vote for, don't 341 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: care if your kids die of ventyl poisoning, it doesn't 342 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: matter to them. They're not even going to send your 343 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers. Now that's who you vote for. They 344 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: don't care. That was Alexandra's law, and it's another ridiculous 345 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: scourge for that Public Safety committee in Sacramento. So you'll 346 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: hear that after three o'clock. The next couple of stories 347 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: on the show will both deal with babies. It doesn't 348 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: matter to me, and I'm sure John agrees where you 349 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: stand on the whole Row v. Wade abortion issue. But 350 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: the fact that Governor Gruesome, who wants to run for president, 351 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: he knows he's going to coast to victory in November, 352 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,479 Speaker 1: so he's looking beyond twenty twenty two into perhaps twenty 353 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: twenty four. He's trying to raise they call it his 354 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: national profile, which is why he struck out against Florida 355 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: over the don't say gay stuff. And earlier this week 356 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: or late last week, he was like, come on, Democrats, 357 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: we got to raise more hell over this Roe v. 358 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: Wade draft opinion. So what he's done now is he 359 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: wants California to set aside forty million dollars for and 360 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: I guess this is what people are calling it abortion tourism. 361 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: This pisses me off to no end. I knew. I 362 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: am very angry too. I mean, this is really distasteful. 363 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 1: My tax money is going to be used to abort 364 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: babies people from Ada state. People from Ada State are 365 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: coming here to abort their babies, and I have to 366 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: pay for it to cover unensured residents and an expected 367 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: influx of women from other states. I don't care. Why 368 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: don't make the guy who impregnatepregnated these women pay for it? 369 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: How come on paying for how that happened? I don't 370 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,360 Speaker 1: see how that should happen. I'm going this legislature. They'll 371 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: probably improve it because they all think it helps their profile. 372 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: You were standing up for women's reproductive rights, which is 373 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: always changing the subject. The issue here is not that. 374 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: The issue is I didn't get her pregnant. Why am 375 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: I paying for the abortion? Isn't? Yeah? I think even 376 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: people with common sense that support a woman's right to 377 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: choose also may think I don't know about so wait, 378 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: wait a second. Now, it's it's been extended, this whole 379 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: women's right, it's been extended to you and I paying 380 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: for their abortions. It's like, no, I didn't do anything. 381 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: You go back to if abortion is prohibited in any country, 382 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: just come on and it will pay for it. I mean, 383 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: this is so infuriating to me because of all of 384 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: this is preventable. There's billions of condoms in the world, 385 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: there's billions of abortion pills in the world, birth control 386 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: pills in the world, and as a last resort, you 387 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: could just say no and not do it. But but 388 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: you blow through that possibility, right, you go ahead and 389 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: you do it. You're not on a birth control paill, 390 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: You're not on a condom, you're not using any other 391 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: devices that are readily available. You don't go and buy 392 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: the morning after abortion pail. So hey, they're now they're 393 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: at our house hand out. They want money. What are 394 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: you talking about? You had five different ways to keep 395 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: this from happening, and you didn't bother with any of them. 396 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: Now I am the victim of your irresponsibility and impulse pulsiveness, 397 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: and I have to hand over some of my paycheck 398 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: to you. Oh my god, how nuts is that? And 399 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: then what it's being used for the other part of this, 400 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: which is frankly well outrageous and amusing. Newsom is expected 401 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: to announce new government incentives for businesses who want to 402 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: relocate to California to move from states with abortion bands 403 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: or anti LGBTQ laws. But he's good. You often talk 404 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: about California losing businesses because we have high taxes and 405 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: terrible environmental restrictions and so much curbing their expansion. This 406 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: guy thinks he's going to lure a bunch of businesses 407 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: here because of these two issues. So their employees going 408 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: to abort their babies and California will pay for it, 409 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: and California pay for that'll get businesses back. So the 410 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: taxes and the regulation issues does matter more. This is silly, 411 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: This is I imposturing. Here's some sort of national asion. 412 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: It's pathetic. What constituency is for this. And I'm reading 413 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: more and more stories and polls. While people were worked 414 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: up last week, it wasn't as many people as you think. 415 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: It's not, And you ask people, it's like inflation, the economy, 416 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: maybe putin the nukes. These are the issues. This one 417 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: is not important, but those people it has been. The 418 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: media coverage the frenzy was way out of proportion. Well, 419 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: of course, because I know there's a few people standing 420 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: in front of judges Holmes. But trust me, that's pretty 421 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: much the beginning and end of it. I know that, 422 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: did you know covering covering paid protesters screaming nonsense? Right? 423 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: There was one woman in Chicago, one protester shoes actually screaming, 424 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: I will give abortions forever. Well that's great. Wow, Wait, 425 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: shout it louder. We're all proud of you. Okay, forever 426 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: abortions what? Yeah, you can get abortions. States will still 427 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: allow abortion. Yeah, there's plenty of states that are going 428 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: to allow Probably at the end of it all, there'll 429 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: be twenty five states you can go to. But why 430 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: don't you Why don't you like save up for it, 431 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: pay for it yourself, and get the guy to pay 432 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: for it. You know it is, go find him, get 433 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: the guy to pay for it. You gotta come and 434 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: ask if it's that oppressive. Move to that states, and 435 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: then if you're an in state resident can qualify for coverage. Fine, 436 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: But to come here what they call an abortion tourism. 437 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: There you go, I that's ridiculoution tourism. California does require 438 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: state regulated health plans to cover the call some abortions. 439 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: Women are more likely to have to pay out a 440 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: pocket if they're trailing from a state with strict laws. 441 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: If we lived, if we had a same media, that'd 442 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: be the headline. Newsome unveils plan for abortion tourism. Boy, 443 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: that you don't let that phrase ought to stick to 444 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: him like glue. You're the abortion tourism governor. Congratulations. Well, 445 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: like I've been saying, he's just gonna go on the 446 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: ash heap of history of California politicians who have flopped. 447 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: I thought of Lauretta Sanchez and Tony Vlaar going back 448 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: he yes, now Garcetti and of course Kamala Harris, this 449 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: bigger dope Sarah, and now Newsome. Look at that. What 450 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: a scrap pile, I know. And then there's the woman 451 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: that doesn't know who you are. Dan find stuff and 452 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: look around in California as a toilet. Gee, I wonder 453 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: why why why are we a national joke and a 454 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: toilet because this is who we churn out for political leaders. Yeah, 455 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: this crowd. I just mentioned the ten names or so 456 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: I just mentioned. That's the legacy of the state leadership. 457 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: You know, really, come to California, abort your baby, We'll 458 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: pay for it. I could see the billboards all over 459 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: the interstates, all around the country. Don't be surprised. He 460 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: don't be enough to think that this is going to 461 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: propel him to national prominence. That he does. That's what's hysterical. 462 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: He actually thinks this is a winning issue that people 463 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: are home are going to go, Oh, isn't that great. 464 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: He's having California taxpayers pay for other people's abortions. Wow, cool, governor. 465 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: See they narrow this. He thinks it's going to help 466 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: him like democratic primaries in twenty four or something like that. 467 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: It's yeah, okay, a good issue too. That's why he 468 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: criticized his own party to try to separate himself from 469 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: other Democrats who might be running. You do that. You 470 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: know what, the more he spends on his presidential campaign, 471 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: the less will spend screwing things up here. The other 472 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: baby's story when we come back is about babies that 473 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: live and this bizarre baby formula shortage. What a weird 474 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: story parents, Some parents are desperate to get a hold 475 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: of baby formula is not on the shelves in many places. 476 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: And then we have a story concerning the migrants related 477 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: to this. To get two. Next, we're back to the baby. 478 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: We're just talking about California may pay for out of 479 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: state abortions, abortion tourism, they're calling it. This is about 480 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: the baby formulas shortage. There are now price gougers up there, 481 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: charging up to six hundred dollars for desperate parents trying 482 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: to get ahold of baby formula. I first became aware 483 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: of this story a couple of weeks ago, and the 484 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: headline was don't do it yourself. Don't try to make 485 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: your own home baby formula. That could be disastrous. I 486 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: can't tell you. Maybe you know, John, what's really in there. 487 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: But the shelves are barren. There's a real shortage. Forty 488 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: percent of formula is out of stock. That's twenty times 489 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: the normal shortage on the shelves. So normally five percent 490 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: it's out of stock. No what am I saying two 491 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 1: percent is out of stock? Now it's forty percent, and people, 492 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: of course are hoarding. That's the basic human react. Happens 493 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: like the toilet papers. Like the toilet paper. So the 494 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: three things happened. There was a bacteria that got loose 495 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: at a Michigan plant for Abbott Laboratories. They're a major 496 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: producer of infant formula. There's only a few companies that 497 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: make it because it's so highly regulated. And then the 498 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: coronavirus the pandemic snarl all the supply chains and yeah, 499 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: and they're calling on them to reopen the laboratory. I 500 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: thought they were going to do that and saw that 501 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: story the other day, and I thought the government was 502 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: going to allow Abbott Laboratories it's in Sturgis, Michigan, to reopen, 503 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: just to try to help ease the shortage. Then there's 504 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: a third problem, regulations and trade policy, because there's a 505 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: lot of formula in Europe that can be shipped here, 506 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: but FDA regulation will not allow them to ship it, 507 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: even though European formulas meet all the FDA guidelines. Most 508 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: of them do, and they might be even better than 509 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: American formula because they don't use things like corn syrup 510 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: and they have more lactose in it. And US customs agents, 511 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe this, actually seize shipments of baby 512 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: formula at the border, like the fentinel coming over the borders. Okay, 513 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: but baby formula doesn't adhere to the regulations. Well, there's 514 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: this Congresswoman Cat Cammock from Florida who put up images 515 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: of palettes of infant formula at a migrant processing center 516 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: in McAllen, Texas. There you go and saying, look at that, 517 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: they've got all this formula for the migrant babies. What 518 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: about us babies? So is that stuff they seized towards 519 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: that just stuff they put there to cover the migrant babies? 520 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: So follow us here, fentinyl coming here to kill our children. 521 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: That's okay. American formula going to feed the immigrant families. 522 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: That's okay, too, European forma to feed our kids. No, no, no, no, 523 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: what a screw up? Yeah we can government of boobs, 524 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: of absolute boots. And now what are people supposed to do? 525 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: I mean yeah? And the stories are sad. There are 526 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: some One woman apparently had had cancer it affects her 527 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: ability to produce her own milk. Another woman says she 528 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: can't produce enough milk or son just is too hungry, 529 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: so she needs to get baby formula to supplement her supply, 530 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: and she can't find it. I mean, I mean, when 531 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: our kids were babies, it never occurred to me that 532 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: you'd run out of formula. I don't think it's happened. 533 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: I never heard of it. And I guess you can't. 534 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: You can't just feed them regular milk. No, you can't 535 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: do that until they're a year old. See, yeah, we 536 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: brought the mother in to tell us. So I'm just 537 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: listening to you, guys. I'm thinking, my stars that I 538 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: don't have children that would rely on formula. At this point, 539 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: I'd be flipping out. Is there any kind of a 540 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: because they tell you not to make formula at home, 541 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: you'll end up killing the kids? Or what are you 542 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: supposed to do? What's the kids starved? I don't understand. 543 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. There has to be I don't. I mean, 544 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: in the old days, that's why people are paying these 545 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 1: black market prices. They're desperate. And the old days, you 546 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: either breastfeed your baby or you do formula. That's right, 547 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: But pre formula, I don't. Well, I think pre formulas 548 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: breast milk, right, and if you couldn't for some reason, 549 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: then that was it for your kid. I don't I 550 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: gotta do some research on that. Didn't they have like 551 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: somebody in the neighborhood. I used to Oh, yeah, there's 552 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: a lactation nurse or what do they call them, nights 553 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: wet nurse. Yeah, wet nurse. That's right, right, she's always 554 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,239 Speaker 1: got production going. They that's really scary. Yeah, that that is. 555 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: That is scary, and I never thought of it until 556 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: this week. So you shouldn't feed your kid because my 557 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: mother used to do this, the powdered milk. Why I 558 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: hated that stuff. She didn't like the milk prices. When 559 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: we were kids and we drank milk like crazy powder. 560 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: We had like three boys and that's all we did. 561 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: So she she she used to make us drink powdered milk. Oh, 562 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: I hate it so much. Even the thought of it 563 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: now gives me a headache. Oh I never Awful's god awful. 564 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: You just mix it with water, this powder and it's 565 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: like wow. Yeah.
