Ryan 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: Seacrest is a new host of Wheel of Fortune? 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I did earlier today and I was going 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 2: to do that again in a little bit. 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, that's really critical to know. 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 3: It is. 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: He's taking over for Pat next time. But there's an 11 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: update on the story what Vana White has lawyered up. 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: She supposedly has not had a pay raise in years. 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: She makes around three million, it's reported three million for 14 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: pointing at the letters, but anyway, takes a lot of 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: advertising money in the show. Pat Say Jack is supposed 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: to making fifteen million, and there's also possibility that they 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: may want to start fresh and bump her off the show. 18 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: I'll do it. 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: A lot less. 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: I can continue to do your show, and that'll do 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: you watch the show at all? Because if you did, 22 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: you'd know that there's a NEPO baby in line. Yeah, well, 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: the Maggie say Jack. Have you seen that? No, she 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: does their social media. She's Pat's daughter and I wouldn't 25 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: be surprised if that's who they put in the letter 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: turner role. So if that happens, you know, but I'm 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: sure fans want Van to stay on, and someone's gonna say, 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: for some continuity, we need to keep one of them 29 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: on the show, and if Pat's leaving, we need to 30 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: keep Vana on the show. So who knows, But she's 31 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: definitely holding out for more money. It appears if she 32 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: really hasn't gotten to pay race since two thousand and five, 33 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: I guess I understand that. So someone probably said to 34 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: her though, Hey, you know, somebody else can point it 35 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: the letters, not you. Yeah, but people love her, they 36 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: tune in to watch her to turn the letters. But 37 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: there you go.

That was their idea. 47 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: They got themselves a floor votes, and we see the 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: press release this afternoon that on a straight party line vote, 49 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: the gas tax increase will take effect.

Let's bring on Assembly Member James Gallagher, 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: a Republican, to talk about this. Welcome back to the show. 53 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: Hey, Ken, good to be with you again. 54 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: All right, so did you guys feel like it EASA 55 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: pulled something out by getting the floor vote. 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 4: Well, we thought was the least they could do, being 57 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: that they're going to pass a budget today that increases 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 4: your cost, then maybe the last thing, you know, at 59 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: least we could, you know, cut people's gas tax and 60 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 4: suspend the increase it's supposed to happen on July one. 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: And of course what we got is the same thing 62 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 4: we always get out of Democrats is now we don't 63 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 4: have time for that. Uh, And on a party line boat, 64 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 4: they they struck that down. So, same old, same old 65 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: out of Sacramento. 66 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Here, Ken, Now, what is the amount of the upcoming 67 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: gas tax increase. 68 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: Well, it amounts to I believe six hundred million dollars total, 69 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 4: you know, and that's paid across all all Californians, you know. 70 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 4: But you know, it's a it's a healthy chunk of 71 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 4: change when you have to pay that as the gas pump. 72 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 4: Every day. Gas is over four dollars a gallon in 73 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: most parts of California. So we're already feeling the pain 74 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 4: and it's only going up. 75 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's probably it says here it's about an 76 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: eight percent increase. 77 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I think it's like a thirty cent increase 78 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: is what it amounts to per a gallon. 79 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: And just to refresh people, because this happens every July. First, 80 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: we're looking at another increase in the gas tax, and 81 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: you guys have tried before to suspend it, and I 82 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: even think, am I right that Newsom at one time 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: mentioned he was in favor of that, but didn't seem 84 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: to follow through. 85 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, last year Newsom made a big deal about that 86 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: he was, you know, planning to do that, and then 87 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 4: of course he capitulated to the Democratic supermajority of legislature 88 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 4: and did not suspend the increase. And yeah, this is 89 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 4: every year I mean, the Democrats cleverly put together this 90 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: gas tax, which you know we all opposed and we 91 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 4: tried to repeal the one they put that together. They 92 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 4: put in automatic increases based on inflation, and guess what, 93 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: you know, we've had record inflation. So we continue to 94 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: see these rises in the gas tax every year, and I'm. 95 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: Sure it's all being used very wisely to keep our 96 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: roads in the best of shape. 97 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, don't you drive on the best roads in California. 98 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 4: Don't you have the best infrastructure? Yeah, you know, things 99 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 4: falling apart. The aqueduct is subsiding, and. 100 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 5: This is the thing we pointed out. 101 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 4: I mean, you can't make this stuff up. I mean 102 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 4: today they passed a record budget once again, and you know, 103 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 4: gave Hollywood a tax credit while small businesses get a 104 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 4: tax increase. San Quentin is going to be turned into 105 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: a day spa, the first dream. Three hundred and eighty 106 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 4: million dollars for that, with no plan of no plan 107 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: of action. But just give them three hundred and eighty 108 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: million dollars to do that and no audit on any 109 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 4: homeless spending. We're just going to continue to spend money 110 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: on the homeless problem that everyone can see is not 111 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 4: getting solved. 112 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Now we're scratching my head over these budget tricks. I 113 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: mean the headlines this year where that we have over 114 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: a thirty billion dollar deficit and they pass a budget 115 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: where what they didn't really cut any spending. They're going 116 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: to spend over well over three hundred billion dollars again 117 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: in total, How do they pull this crap off? 118 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 4: Give smoking mirrors? So they actually what they do is 119 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 4: they are a lot often what they're doing is just 120 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 4: delaying payments, so they kind of keep those you know, 121 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: budget moneys allocated, but they delay the actual payment of it. 122 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 5: You know. 123 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 4: Borrowing, I mean they're continuing to borrow from different funds. 124 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 4: And they didn't really use much of the reserve. I 125 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 4: mean there's been a record reserve built up, you know 126 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 4: for a rainy day. They didn't use much of that 127 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 4: because I think what they know is these next few 128 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 4: years are going to be very financially devastating for the 129 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: state of California. 130 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just to explain people want versed in financials, 131 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: the budget is just a piece of paper. The key 132 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: is whether or not you actually run out of cash. 133 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: That's what you run out of. Where you run out 134 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: of trouble when you can't pay your bills. Was there 135 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: any debate floor debate over this today and all did 136 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: people make arguments for and against suspending the gas tax increase? 137 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 6: Yeah? 138 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 4: So, I mean we put up the motion, and often 139 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 4: what happens is, you know, we make the argument for 140 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 4: why this needs to be done, and when we get 141 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: as a motion to lay on the table, that's a 142 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 4: special way of saying no thanks, we don't want to 143 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: actually vote on your motion, and so delay on the 144 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 4: table vote gets taken up, and that's usually a party 145 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 4: party line vote. And so you know, we had all 146 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 4: the Republicans voting to actually do that amendment and suspend 147 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: the gas tax, and all the Democrats lined up according 148 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 4: to order, and you know, voted against their constituents' interests. Anyway. 149 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we always hear that there's a couple of 150 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: Democrats who were hesitant about this because high gas prices 151 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: really hit their poorer constituents. Nobody abstained, nobody voted present. 152 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: All the Democrats voted in favor of not suspending the 153 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: gas tax. 154 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 4: I believe so. And I'd have to go back and 155 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 4: check that vote, but I mean it because it just happened. 156 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: You know, I just stepped off the floor. Yeah, yeah, 157 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 4: I mean it was a party line vote, and I understand, 158 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: as I understand, all the Democrats voted not to suspend 159 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 4: the gas tax. 160 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: Well, and I think we know the reason for that. 161 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: This came up the last year or two when we 162 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: were really on this phase of higher and higher gas prices. 163 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: But now the talk about this is kind of dwindled, 164 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: so maybe they don't think there'll be so much focus 165 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: or coverage of this. So yeah, they can vote no 166 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: one suspending the gas dex increase and not really get 167 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: much coverage over it. That's probably really what's going on. 168 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know what, you know what they did 169 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 4: do ken they bailed out mass transit here. 170 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: I saw that thing. 171 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 5: Five billion dollars worth. 172 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 4: Uh, you know for a system that is totally failing. 173 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 4: No one wants to ride because it's become mass transients 174 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: transient shooting up. Yeah, that's what we got now, right, 175 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 4: I mean, that is what we have. And and they 176 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 4: was a. 177 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Lot of the Bay area transit systems or was that 178 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: all over the state?

Was it the Bay 179 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: Area over the. 180 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 4: State, all over the state, But definitely Bart you know, 181 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 4: Barry Rapids Transit is right. 182 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Everybody gave up on BART. They were giving up on 183 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,359 Speaker 1: BART for the pandemic, but that have sealed it. 184 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, I mean nobody feels safe riding that. 185 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: I mean because they don't enforce I mean they let 186 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: you know, homeless transients get on there. They're shooting up 187 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 4: on the train. You know, they're exposing themselves on the train. 188 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 4: And who wants to ride you know, a train when 189 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 4: that's going on. I mean, nobody feels safe, but there's 190 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 4: no accountability. It'says, hey, spend more money on a failed system, 191 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 4: and I bet. 192 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: They kept going with money for high speed rail. 193 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 4: Yep. Continuing to fund the high speed rail which I 194 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 4: don't know how many miles of track we've laid down, 195 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 4: but it's not much. And they you know, now they're 196 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: going to do it for Madera to you know, Baker's Field, 197 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 4: So it's gonna be really amazing, the amazing the project here. 198 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, more than the same. 199 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 4: No money for water storage we just came out of 200 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 4: a drought. No new money for that, uh, you know, 201 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: no no streamlining of new projects that need to get built. Housing, 202 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 4: you know, I mean, continues to be the biggest you know, 203 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 4: sequel in the California environmental quality I could use to 204 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 4: be the biggest impediment to building more houses to the state. Yeah, 205 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 4: no streamlining on that front. And you know, this is 206 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 4: just very frustrated. I mean, the state. The Democrats continue 207 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 4: to run this state into the ground, and that's just 208 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: that's fact. 209 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: The people have to vote them out and they just 210 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: refuse to do that despite where they're taking us. Well, 211 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: thanks for talking to me, James Gallagher, appreciate. 212 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 4: It, no problem, thank you. Ken. 213 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: All right, that's Republican assembly Member James Gallagher with the 214 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: news that yes, your gas tax will go up on 215 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: July first. That's the state gas tax. It wasn't an 216 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: effort again by Republicans and Sacramento to suspend the increase. 217 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. So even though prices have 218 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: been dropping a bit the last couple of weeks, they're 219 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: still way too high. But again it's worth repeating the 220 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: story that the state of Washington passed up California with 221 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: the gas prices and the reason for that is they 222 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: adopted a dopey cap and trade. We told you that's 223 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: the hidden cost of what you're paying in gas price. 224 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: It's not just the taxes, and it's not just what's 225 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: going on with the refineries in California regulations. It's all 226 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: their cap and trade and all of their nonsense to 227 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: get you out of your car. All right, coming up next, 228 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: maybe it'll help for you.

This may come as a surprise to 262 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: people who live in a number of communities in Los 263 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: Angeles County. The one that is highlighted here are people 264 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: who are planning to go to Redondo Beach's annual fireworks show. 265 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: Here's the story from NBC four's Macy Jenkins. 266 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 7: It's spectacular, it's fun. It's fourth of July. 267 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 2: Just a week away from Independence Day. Disappointing news for 268 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: people in Redondo Beach looking forward to fireworks at the pier. 269 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: Video on YouTube showing the annual events and. 270 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 7: I don't understand why we can't have them. There's got 271 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 7: to be a way. 272 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 2: As of May twenty fifth, fireworks shows in La County 273 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: now require a permit from the Los Angeles Regional Water 274 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: Quality Control Board. Pyro Spectacular, the company responsible for the 275 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: Redondo Beach show, wrote a letter to the city saying 276 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: we have determined that we cannot safely comply with the 277 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: general permit requirements without endangering our crews, emergency personnel, the public, 278 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: and others involved in the event. After a district court 279 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 2: ruling in March saying fireworks shows should be subject to 280 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 2: the Clean Water Act, the board now has a list 281 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,479 Speaker 2: of rules every firework company must follow. The permit prohibits 282 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: plastic trash after the show and recommends companies use alternative 283 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 2: or biodegradable fireworks. No floating plastic can remain after the show, 284 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: and all debris must be collected the next morning. The 285 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: company must submit a pollution prevention plan and undergo monitoring 286 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: of the plan's implementation. 287 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 7: I agree with those regulations. We don't need the debris 288 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 7: in the water. There should be some way that they 289 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 7: should be able to capture those. 290 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: The Water Quality Control Board says they've reached out to 291 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 2: known fireworks displays over coastal waters in the region to 292 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: explain the permit requirements and offer resistance with permit applications. 293 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: But for now, people like Joan Brogden will have to 294 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: find another show for their Fourth of July celebration. 295 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 7: Haven't thought about it, but I've been trying to think 296 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 7: of where to go now. 297 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: So far, the board has received six applications from different companies, 298 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 2: and those firework shows will go on as planned throughout 299 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles count area. Now coming up at five 300 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: point forty five, I talk to the Redondo Beach fire chief. 301 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: He talks about the new regulations and what he hopes 302 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: to see happen next year. 303 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: I have seen the Redundo Beach fireworks show. I would 304 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: imagine unless this makes bigger news and it's put in 305 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: some of the local publications, there's going to be thousands 306 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: of people. They're going to show up expecting the fireworks 307 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: like they do every year out there over the pier, 308 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: that it's not going to happen. I mean, this is 309 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: just a week before the show goes on, and people 310 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: kind of plan around this. It's not going to happen 311 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: this year. The new permit prohibits plastic trash after a 312 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: fireworks show, recommends companies use alternative or biodegradable fireworks, and 313 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: as you're heard in the story of the company behind 314 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: the Redondo Beach fireworks show, says that they cannot meet 315 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: the recommendation, so called Pyro Spectacular. They even said, we 316 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: can't safely comply with the general permit rek requirements could 317 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: endanger our crews, emergency personnel, the public and others involved 318 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: in the event. I wonder if there's more on that, 319 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: because they don't really understand what would be endangering to 320 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: the crew over what they would have to comply with 321 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: in the permitting process. The Redondo Beach fire chief, who 322 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: she said she was going to talk to later his 323 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: name was Patrick Butler, said the city tried to submit 324 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: its own permit on the company's behalf, but Pyro, the 325 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: company behind us, refused to move forward. I wonder if 326 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: they just didn't want to go along with this because 327 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: it may get to be too all encompassing and too 328 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: expensive for them to carry on. So they just basically 329 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: want to show the waterboard people that we're just not 330 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: going to comply with your crazy new regulations. So it said, Oh, 331 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: they're going to have a party at a seaside lagoon instead. 332 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: But I guess there won't be any fireworks coming up 333 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: over the water. No floating plastic can after the show. 334 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: All debris must be collected the next morning. So when 335 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: I first saw this story, I thought it was more 336 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: about the air pollution side of this, But it's about 337 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: the water pollution because it's the water control people that 338 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: are getting involved here. Then once again it's about taking 339 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: away your fun. Fireworks are not only dangerous, they're polluting. 340 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: It's possible that a firework can end up in a 341 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: turtle's nose like a straw, or a dolphin might run 342 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: off with something that might be shot off over the water. 343 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: All right, When I return a chance to talk to 344 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: the Riverside County Sheriff, Chad Bianco, he's in the news 345 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: because he's decided, along with a number of other sheriffs 346 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: from around the country to join a committee of presidential 347 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: candidate Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor to talk about what 348 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: to do with our border problem. We have a president 349 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden that doesn't care. We have a Homeland Security 350 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: secretary that constantly tries to tell us the border is 351 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: secured despite millions of people and so many drugs coming 352 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: in that more and more Americans are dying. They ignore 353 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: the problem or pretend it doesn't exist. We'll talk to 354 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: Chad about all this coming up. John and Ken k 355 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: I AM six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 356 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 357 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 6: AM six forty. 358 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: John has some time off. I'm here with Debora Mark 359 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: giving you the news updates. All right, so now we're 360 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: going to talk about the race for president. Florida Governor 361 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis apparently has been forming a coalition of sheriffs 362 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: to address the border crisis, and it says he You're 363 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: ninety law enforcement officials from across the country signed on 364 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: to a letter released by DeSantis's gubernatorial office voicing support 365 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: for his stance on border security. At least somebody is 366 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: talking about the border, right You wish Trump would, but 367 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: only want to talk about is losing the election and 368 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: of course all the charges against him. Anyway, one of 369 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: those sheriffs is the Riverside County Shriff of Chad Bianco, 370 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: Who's going to join us now to talk about this 371 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: because clearly the Times ran a story on this, and 372 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: there's many immigration groups very very upset with this decision. 373 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: So let's bring on Sheriff Bianco and talk about it. 374 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Johnny Ken Show. 375 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 3: Thank you, I appreciate being on. 376 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: Thanks all right, So what is this about? What is 377 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: exactly this coalition of sheriff's to address the border crisis. 378 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: The whole thing about. 379 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 5: All you have to do is read the letter. 380 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it really boils down to common sense 381 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 3: and reason and actually thinking about something rather than just 382 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 3: being told. 383 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 5: What to say. But we all know, all law enforcement 384 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 5: knows that what we have at the border right now 385 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 5: is a disaster. 386 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 3: And these what's happening with these immigrant groups and civil 387 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 3: rights the ACLU, which is a complete a joke of 388 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 3: another story. 389 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 5: They want to make it something that it's not. 390 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 3: And the reality for law enforcement is the increase, the 391 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 3: overwhelming increase of drugs being brought into the country, the 392 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 3: gangs that are controlling human trafficking, the cartels controlling human 393 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 3: trafficking is a crisis and we are dealing with it 394 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 3: on a day to day basis. So to actually have 395 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 3: someone on a national platform come out and say I 396 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 3: want you to join my stance in taking care of 397 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 3: our border and helping with crime and security, it's pretty 398 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 3: much common sense. But the rest of these people want 399 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 3: to make it political or whatever it is. And I 400 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 3: even made the comment the other day that if our 401 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 3: president would come out and say I want all these 402 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 3: sheriffs to join me in my fight to secure our 403 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 3: border and stop the drugs and the gangs from coming across. 404 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 5: We joined his coalition too. 405 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 3: But that's never going to happen. 406 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean really under discussed in all this. Clearly, 407 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: there was a lot of coverage last month when Title 408 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: forty two was ending about the Great migrant Rush into 409 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: the United States, and that is an issue. But the 410 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: whole drug thing, fentanyl and so many Americans that are 411 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: dying from fentyl poisoning, is so undercovered and underplayed, and 412 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: it's become a major major problem at the border, and 413 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: you barely hear the Biden administration, and that the goofball 414 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: it runs DHS New York is saying anything about this. 415 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: They don't seem to be doing anything to stop it. 416 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: Says in there the story that DeSantis actually favors maybe 417 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: the death penalty for drug for a drug cartel deal 418 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: of leaders. 419 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I did hear that. 420 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 3: I've never read that. I did hear it though, especially 421 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 3: after the coverage from yesterday and all these people freaking 422 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 3: out over what should be a common sense issue of 423 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 3: fighting crime in our communities. 424 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 5: But regardless of all. 425 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 3: Of that, it's common sense. 426 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 5: It's doing the right thing. 427 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 3: That's protecting victims. 428 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, it's what it's doing. It's protecting victims. What 429 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: do you see in your county? It says here, you 430 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: did visit the border in Imperial County recently, what did 431 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: What do you see in Riverside County is the biggest 432 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: problems dealing with the open border. 433 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 3: Well, regardless of and this is another thing of what 434 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 3: these these activists that want to make it an issue 435 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 3: that's not an issue. They want to they want to 436 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: paint me as a racist or anti immigration or whatever 437 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 3: they want to say. The reality is I'm completely against crime. 438 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: I do not like criminals. I am biased against criminals. 439 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 5: I don't like crime. 440 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 3: I do I want to keep us as safe as possible. 441 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 3: And the truth of our border is from the day 442 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 3: this presidential administration took office and opened the border, we 443 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: have seen a substantial, substantial, multifold increase in drugs coming 444 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 3: across the border, in money and drugs being smuggled back 445 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 3: into the country, and human trafficking, whether it's sex trafficking 446 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 3: or labor trafficking, and that affects all of law enforcement 447 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 3: on a day to day basis that no one wants 448 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 3: to talk about that. If we bring up the border 449 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 3: and crime coming across, the cartels, controlling who comes across, 450 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 3: and everything else in the drugs, we're just labeled as racist. 451 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: Because no one wants to deal with the real issue 452 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 3: of criminality and drugs and how we're going to keep 453 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 3: us safe. We just paint everything with a Democrat or 454 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: a Republican and we label people that disagree with us 455 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 3: as racists, and we hope that that emotional argument overrides 456 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: the issue that they just don't want They want drugs 457 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 3: and alcohol or drugs into our country. They want criminals 458 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 3: to have free reign in our country, and really we 459 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: don't know why and we don't address that because we're 460 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 3: fighting over racism issues. 461 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, And of course all the uproar over the 462 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: migrant flights flying migrants to places like California, by Florida 463 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,239 Speaker 1: and by Texas. I mean, what's your reaction to all 464 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: of that? Isn't that a rational way to say, let's 465 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: spread out the problem. We're not a sanctuary state or 466 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: a sanctuary city. We have too many migrants who have 467 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: come here from foreign countries. We can't handle this in 468 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: our state. You need to spread them out. I don't 469 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: think there's anything wrong with that. But of course this 470 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: has been turned into an other uproar in your right 471 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: claims of racism. 472 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 5: And let me tell you. 473 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: The hypocrisy of that we have between San Fernandino, Riverside 474 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 3: and or not in Sanmardino, Orange County, San Diego and 475 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 3: Riverside County. The state has sent over one hundred thousand 476 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 3: immigrants to other states. Why is no one asking Governor 477 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: Knews about that. It's his funding, he's doing it, he's 478 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: arranging it. But yet he's calling out governors from other 479 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 3: states for sending them to California. There is no bigger 480 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 3: hypocrit than our governor, and no one is calling him 481 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 3: out on it, and no one is making an answer 482 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 3: those questions. 483 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 5: When you get to. 484 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: That level where everyone's making things about politics, all of 485 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: them are a joke and they need to go away. 486 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 3: We need to stop voting for these people and make 487 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: them go away. 488 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: You're saying the California sent one hundred thousand migrants to 489 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: other states at least, and where do you get that 490 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: information from? 491 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 3: Those are our numbers. They're being dropped off in Riverside County, 492 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 3: sand Or Riverside County, San Diego County, and in Orange County. 493 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 5: We have to handle them. 494 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 3: We have to process them, our medical our Department of Health, 495 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 3: County Department of Health has to make sure they're taking. 496 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 5: Care of medically physically. 497 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 3: We house them in hotels if our NGOs don't have room, 498 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: and then we figure out where they're going to go 499 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 3: or where they want to go, and then we pay 500 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 3: for them to get there. The state is paying millions 501 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: and millions of dollars to send these these people that 502 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 3: are coming across illegally to other states. But yet our 503 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 3: failure of a governor wants to accuse other people of 504 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 3: doing it, can so he can get a few media 505 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 3: spots for his god forbid run for president. 506 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, that that may be what we're looking at eventually someday, 507 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: if not next year. Have been twenty twenty eight, what 508 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: do you think of the presidential campaign? So does this 509 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: mean that you're endorsing Ron Desand and you think it 510 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: is the best answers to the border problems. 511 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 5: No, it means that at all. 512 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 3: It goes back to what I said earlier. If President 513 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 3: Biden would come up with something like that, I jump 514 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 3: on board with it. If you change the Dessander's name 515 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: to Biden, I would jump on board with that also. 516 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 3: And if Trump said something, or if Kennedy said something, 517 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 3: I would be fully on board because this isn't about politics. 518 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 3: When you're talking about law enforcement and public safety, it's 519 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 3: not about politics. It's right versus wrong, it's black versus white, 520 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 3: and it's what are we doing to better make our 521 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 3: communities safer? 522 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 5: And if we're failing, we have to do something different. 523 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 5: And if someone has a better way of doing it 524 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 5: or a better plan, I'm all for it. 525 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 526 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the other side likes to call the migrant crisis, 527 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: a humanitarian crisis, and you know, you can make an 528 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: argument that people are looking for and escape from their 529 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: home country. But the drug part, I'm talking to Riverside 530 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: County Sheriff Chad Bianco. The whole idea of getting all 531 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: these drugs into the country, particularly now with a fentanyl problem, 532 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: you would think they would be doing everything they could 533 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: to stop this from happening. And one of my theories 534 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: is that it's such a big money maker from Mexico, 535 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: the Mexican government is not interested in stopping the cartels. 536 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not, And we all know through history, we 537 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 3: know that the cartels have a major, major, major influence 538 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 3: in the politics in Mexico. So you're exactly right with that. 539 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 3: But here, here it's just all about politics. It's how 540 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 3: can we use a how can we use a catastrophe, 541 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 3: or how can we use an emergency for our own benefit, 542 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 3: and we'll twist it around and call it something that 543 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 3: it's not and we'll try and benefit from it politically. 544 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 3: And it flies in the face of public safety, which 545 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: is why no one, no politician is going to debate 546 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 3: a law enforcement officer about public safety, because, to be 547 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: quite honest, the ones that we have, and especially the 548 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 3: leaders we have, they don't care. 549 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: All Right, Sheriff Chad Bianco, thanks for talking to me. 550 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate it absolutely. 551 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 5: You're welcome anytime. 552 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: All right, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. And of course 553 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: he's in the news because he's joined a coalition of 554 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: sheriff from around the country to address the border crisis. 555 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: This is coming from the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and 556 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: his campaign for presidents, and they want to try to 557 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: work on solutions to not only the migrant problem, but 558 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: of course the drug problem. John and Ken KFI AM 559 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 560 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 561 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 6: AM six forty. 562 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: There is a brush fire burning out in Paris, you've 563 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: been hearing on the KFI news updates. It started around 564 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: two thirty pm and it has destroyed something mentioned as 565 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: perhaps cars, vehicles, maybe some structures. It's never clear right 566 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: away what it is, but supposedly it's moving at a 567 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: high rate of speed. You probably heard the news that 568 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: we're going to have quite a warm up coming for 569 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: this weekend, pretty much first time this year. Temperatures are 570 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: going to reach nineties and one hundred or more in 571 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: some places. So we're already seeing some of the effects 572 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: of that with this fire in Paris. This is about 573 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: twenty miles southeast of Riverside, and they're doing all they 574 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: can to limit it. It's a vegetation fire in unincorporated Paris. 575 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: They're calling it the Juniper Fire. Well, I just talked 576 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: to the Riverside County Sheriff, Chad Bianco. He's going to 577 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: be part of a Ron de Santis sort of a 578 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: task force of sheriffs from around the country to talk 579 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: about immigration issues and our border problem. Chad, of course 580 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: is stepping up like one other California sheriff to join 581 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: the coalition for Ron de Santis, who apparently went to 582 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: Texas yesterday to continue to amplify the fact that we 583 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: have an open border for both people in drugs. Meanwhile, 584 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: there's a story that Politico ran that, after lashing out 585 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: at leading Republicans for busing asylum seekers to Democrat led cities, 586 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: New York City Mayor Eric Adams did something similar. He 587 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: sent dozens of migrants to red states like Florida and Texas. 588 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: In fact, in at least one case, he sent one 589 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: of the migrants to China. Now, what they're claiming in 590 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: this story, it says here between April of last year 591 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: and April of this year, they spent around fifty grand 592 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: to resettle one hundred and fourteen migrant households and cities. 593 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: They're saying here, you know, they sat down, they talked 594 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: to the migrants about where they might want to go, 595 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: and then figured out a plan and then sent them individually. 596 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: They didn't stick them on a bus. But same thing, right, 597 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: some of the migrants that are in Florida and Texas. 598 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean if I landed in Texas and I looked 599 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: around that some of the places are like El Paso, 600 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: which is overrun now with the shelters and people in 601 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: the streets, I might too take a bus ride to 602 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: another city. We're on the other end, as you found 603 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: out in Sacramento. We love this. We're very welcoming. We 604 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: can't wait to greet our margrant friends. So I mean again, 605 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: this story, which as we've seen, is fading away fast. 606 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: With this idea of charging the governor of Florida, the 607 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: governor of Texas with kidnapping roll that nonsense has faded 608 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: away quickly, and as we put it out many times 609 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: on the show, many Democrat leaders from around the country 610 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: have been sending migrants to other places. It's just another 611 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: case of the politics of exaggeration, all right, Tim Conway Junior, Hey, hey, 612 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: that fire is rolling now. 613 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 8: If you're watching on TV, man, this poor guy's house 614 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 8: is on fire. Oh oh, that's horrible, bad news. We'll 615 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 8: keep it eye on that fire. Plus, Costco is cracking 616 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 8: down on membership sharing. Do you ever share your membership 617 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 8: with anybody. 618 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: That's like Netflix is doing that? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, 619 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: yes No I've not shared my I do have a 620 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: Costco members I haven't shared with anybody. Yeah I don't. 621 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 8: I don't either, but my wife occasionally tries to use it. 622 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: But I knocked that down. But I have the card 623 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: with my photo on it. Oh yeah, that's right. 624 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh. 625 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 8: By the way, I saw somebody at Costco getting their 626 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 8: photo taken and I was next in line, and she 627 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 8: looked at and she goes, hey, can we take another one? 628 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 8: She took five photo before they got it right, it's 629 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 8: gonna be it's a really crappy colored photo on the 630 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 8: back of your Costco card. And she was so vain 631 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 8: she needed to have that correct. Isn't that crazy? 632 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: Aw, some people's pictures are very important. That's right. That's 633 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: not a selfie guy. Yeah, I don't care about selfies 634 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: at all. 635 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 3: Please. 636 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 8: And then we also have a brand new light rail 637 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 8: coming into the San Fernando Valley.

The vibe on him 646 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 8: is that he never went to the San Fernando Valley. 647 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 8: So I met him right before he retired, and he 648 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 8: said that.
