Gavin Newsom tells the truckers 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: who have been protesting against Assembly Bill five, that's the 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: one that wants to turn them into employees and take 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: away their independence. He basically tells them to drop dead. 15 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: We'll bring you the story. Yeah, he did, dropped drop dead. 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,959 Speaker 1: That's a quote, not exactly but pretty large. If they 17 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: have been tying up the port of Oakland for some 18 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: time now. So we'll talk about that coming up at 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: a little bit on The John and Ken Show next Friday, 20 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: July twenty ninth. Based on the current numbers, which are ridiculous, 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: described as the elevated transmission level of the coronavirus and 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: rising hospitalization numbers all bogus. This is nowhere near where 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: we were in twenty twenty and twenty one, and we 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: have to take a new approach to it. But instead 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: we have a county Health Director by the name of 26 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: Barbara Ferrare. We do not call her doctor. She is 27 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: not a doctor who wants to reimpose the indoor mask 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: mandate in order to be an effect. Next Friday, July 29 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: twenty ninth, we're gonna talk now with Tracy Hernandez. She's 30 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: the founding CEO of the Los Angeles County Business Federation 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: and they are lobbying heavily against this move by Ferrare 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. And let's get Tracy on. Tracy Hernandez, 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to the John and Ken Show. Thanks, it's good 34 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: to be here. Happy Friday. Well, tell us the position 35 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: of your organization. The position is of over four hundred 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: thousand business owners large and small, every sector, is that 37 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: we don't have to choose this false narrative between lives 38 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: and livelihoods. That we don't we can move forward. We're 39 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: two and a half years into fighting COVID, and we 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: don't need another mask mandate. We're calling for rather a 41 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: mask advisory. We're fine with alerting people, learning the public, 42 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: alerting business owners, employees that we need to increase our 43 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: safety precautions, and people know how to use masks and 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: how to do safe distancing and how to moderate their 45 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: behavior accordingly, make choices. But to institute how La County 46 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: be the only county to institute a mandate back to 47 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: the beginning, before we had vaccinations and we had boosters, 48 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: and we had medicine to fight, and we had competent 49 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: personal protective equipment and all of that. There's no need 50 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: to go back to mandating. The public's not ready for it, 51 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: and to put employees that are working on the front 52 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: line to be enforcers and be sort of this radical, 53 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: extreme move back to the mandate is not needed. We 54 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: have a lot of base immunity because of all the 55 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: all the vaccines and boosters that you talked about, and 56 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: also a lot of people got COVID and it's very 57 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: hard to get this weekend strain and end up in 58 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: the hospital. I mean, we even had two prominent doctors 59 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: at USC Medical Center say that they've had virtually nobody 60 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: in the ICU for months. I mean that that is 61 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: all science. I mean, the vaccines really did something. The 62 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: immunity you get from getting the infection does something. There's 63 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: pack Slovid now, for example, which works ninety percent of 64 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: the time in stopping your symptoms. It seems that this 65 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: moment is as far away from a panic measure like 66 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: mandatory masking as you possibly can get. I'd agree with 67 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: you completely. And actually, as you're talking about the science 68 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: and the facts and the figures, let's remind everyone that 69 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: right now, as of yesterday, those that are hospitalized in 70 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: La County that have COVID our seven percent of all 71 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: hospitals population, and the it's reported also with facts that 72 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: most of that seven percent are there for other reasons 73 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: and happen to test COVID, you know, positive for COVID. 74 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: So's it's not at alarming levels as you mentioned. But 75 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: also I just want to make the point to the 76 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: business owners, we're all about, you know, safety. We want 77 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: our employees to be you know, safe and healthy. We 78 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: want our customers to feel safe and stay healthy in 79 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: our communities to thrive. So you know, we're definitely about solutions, 80 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: but to as you mentioned, to be so disruptive and 81 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: to have only La County do this mask mandate when 82 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: it's not necessary. We've we have shifted into living in 83 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: animate situation, not pandemic. We're going to live constantly with 84 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: COVID and its various variations, but as we talked about, 85 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: we now have the tools and ability to deal with it, 86 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: just like many other diseases and viruses that have come along. 87 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: So there's no need for this. And so what we're 88 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: doing is we're encouraging everyone to speak up, make your 89 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: voice known, let the five county supervisors know, let the 90 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Health director know, because she'd still has time to make 91 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: a different decision before the twenty ninth. And if that 92 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: decision is implemented on the twenty ninth, and the Health 93 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: Director says yes, we're going to do a mandate, it's 94 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: also not done. There the following Tuesday, August second, the 95 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors meet and they have the authority to change, moderate, 96 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: or remove that order. So we all just need to 97 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: use our voice, in our common sense and speak up 98 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: and say. Let we're saying, let's alarm people there is 99 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: an advisory outlets. Let's up our game and protecting people 100 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: and our customers and each other. But let's do that 101 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: collectively with an advisory. Let's not do a mandate and 102 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: cause a lot of havoc among people dealing with each other, 103 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: as well as the economic impact. Well, I can't imagine. 104 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: I can tell that many business owners or employees want 105 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: to deal with customers who are going to be really 106 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: resistant to this. They don't and everyone so far beyond it. 107 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: And can you imagine? I mean La County surrounded, you know, 108 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: my five other counties, and people are moving, and people 109 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: are flying in and out of LA from all different places, 110 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: none of which have a mask mandate, and all of 111 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, they're here for a couple of hours, a 112 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: couple of days, a couple of weeks, or you know, 113 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: they're driving in and they get faced with this surprise. Um, 114 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: it's just it's not necessary, and it's um, there's another 115 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: way forward. So are you are you surprised? Are you 116 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: surprised no public officials have stood up to voice the 117 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: same opinion that you are. Well, we're trying to give 118 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: them some help and winding their sales to do the 119 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: right thing. That's why we have a lot of people. 120 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: But what is one member of the Board of Supervisor's 121 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: Cafine Barger, who might you know, go along with a 122 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: lot of what you're saying, which is common sense. But 123 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: I don't think the rest are going to move on, 124 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: Barbara Fair, I just can't believe it. I would think 125 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: most of the public doesn't want to deal with this anymore. 126 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: And we don't have a single public representative that shares 127 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: that view nobody. So that's why you guys are here 128 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: and why you help, right because public representatives represent the public. 129 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: So the public needs to speak up and more people 130 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: need to join us. We're talking today, people need to tomorrow, 131 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: the next day, and the next day. You know, there's 132 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: days ahead of us before any decision gets implemented, and 133 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: then even if it does, remember it can be changed 134 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: a couple of days later. So people need to not 135 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: settle for this choice. And you know, it's we want 136 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: to keep choice with people and let them have their 137 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: own choice. And also again, what we just want to 138 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: reiterate is that we were shifted to an endemic and 139 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: that means living with it long term, you know, and 140 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: we have to continue to just utilize all the tools 141 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: that are available to us in science and medicine invest 142 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: practices and personal protective equipment and so on. And we're 143 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: able to do that, and we know how to do it. 144 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: Every other county and state has agreed to that. In fact, 145 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, we're only aware of two places that 146 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: tried to institute a mandate recently, and both of them 147 00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: quickly unwound them. One of them Philadelphia too. In Philadelphia, right, 148 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: and why did Is it because of public blowback? What 149 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: was the reason for that? Yeah, public blowback? And then 150 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: also the numbers and the same numbers we see, right, 151 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: you know, there's a different the numbers are actually um, 152 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: there's a difference in infection rate in cases, and our 153 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: numbers are going down. And what happens is they crossed them. 154 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: You know, they can come up and then they crossed 155 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: the line, they come back down. Right. Yeah. And doctor 156 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Klausner, we had it a couple of days ago 157 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: and the clip was just on the newscast and he's 158 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: affiliated with USC and he said, they are counting people 159 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: who are admitted to the hospital for some other medical 160 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: issue they happen to test positive for COVID, but COVID 161 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: is not the reason for the hospitalization. But they're counting 162 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: that and saying, oh, the numbers are rising, and I 163 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: mean that is just malpracticed there on the part of 164 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: Barbara ferrere That is not the way you analyze the statistics. 165 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: It's pretty basic, and it's good you're adding light on that. Well, Tracy, 166 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: you let us know if you need anything more discussed 167 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: here and we will still got a week left, okay, 168 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: all right, yeah, all right. Hi. Tracy Hernandez is the 169 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: founding CEO of the Los Angeles County Business Federation known 170 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: as bis FED, and they will put out the word 171 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: that La County should not they should abandoned plans to 172 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: bring back the indoor mask mandate of Barbara Ferreras, who 173 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: again was at the All Star Game without a mask 174 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: right there in the middle of a crowd waving. She 175 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: takes such risks because she doesn't believe in it. She's 176 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: another one who doesn't really care. It's her power. She's 177 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: power mad. She she miss she misrepresents the basic statistics 178 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: of the hospitalizations. She must be doing this on purpose 179 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: because Stour, we're going to talk to the leader of 180 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: a group it's threatening a lawsuit against the count and 181 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: this deals with the students and the schools, and indoor masking. 182 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: We got more coming up, including that word the keyword 183 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: for a possible thousand dollars. John and Ken show k 184 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: if Well. The trucker protests at the Port of Oakland continue. 185 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: In fact, we are now getting word that some shipping 186 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: companies are avoiding the port. They will not go there. 187 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: The port has established free speed zones, which I guess 188 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: they're designed to try to let business be conducted as normal. 189 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: But of course all of this is about Assembly Bill five. 190 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: That's the bill that has destroyed the independent freelance worker 191 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: in the state of California. There were carve outs for 192 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: certain people doing certain jobs, but not for the independent truckers. 193 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Seventy thousand of them say, we don't want to go 194 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: to work for somebody else. We make our own hours, 195 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: we rule our own lives. We independently haul goods for 196 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: companies that we contract with. Don't take that away. So 197 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: it is having an effect. They did a protest last week, 198 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: as you know, the Port of LA and they went 199 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: up to downtown LA through the one ten and slowed 200 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: up traffic. But this one at the Oakland Port looks big. 201 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: In fact, the longshoreman. They're honoring the protests. They're not 202 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: doing much work either. They're not the picket life right. 203 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: Four hundred and fifty International Longshore and Warehouse union workers 204 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: have been dispatched to the terminals, but they've been unable 205 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: to work because the trucker protests. So this is an 206 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: even bigger supply chain issue related to this. Governor dippity 207 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: do finally said something, and it's basically to give them 208 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: the finger, all right. He didn't say that either. Do 209 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: you think Newsom relates at all to truck drivers? That 210 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: would be a long shot. Can you see him driving 211 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: hundreds of miles every day lifting heavy container? Now, he 212 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: came down here and painted graffiti over Remember he picked 213 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: up garbage, Yeah, I remember. Remember he loves to tell 214 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: people the story when he came to the train tracks. 215 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: Remember they ripped off the trains of the cargo and 216 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: it was all the literal over the tracks. He came 217 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: down there and he helped clean up some of the waste. Yeah. 218 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: But I mean, imagine every day, twelve fourteen hours a day, 219 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: driving thousands and thousands of miles, having to lift all 220 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: this heavy cargo. Sleeping in your truck cab eating roadside food. 221 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: Imagine that little Gavin who's always been so prim and 222 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: proper and coddled and pampered his words. This week, the 223 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: truckers should focus on supporting the transition to the new 224 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: employment law, basically acting like this is settled. BB five 225 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: was enacted in twenty nineteen, but of course it got 226 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: caught up in the courts for a while, which is 227 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: why it's not taking effect till around now. It's not settled. 228 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: There was no call for this. This is a corrupt 229 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: law that's an effort to union teams, teapsters. Union paid 230 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: the independent truckers, make them be employees and unionized, that's right. 231 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: And they paid off Lorraina Gonzalez, They paid off the 232 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: California legislature in Newsom with big campaign contributions, and god 233 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: knows what else. And then and then Gonzalez, after passing 234 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: this bill, all of a sudden she quits to become 235 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: a union leader. And that was the real payoff. She 236 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: got a big union job after delivering the good. This 237 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: is corruption, is what it is, and the truck drivers 238 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: should be protesting this. This is dirty and it's wrong, 239 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: and the only reason it exists is because the Teamsters 240 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: union bent over all the legislators. The International Brotherhood of 241 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: the Teamsters is trying to organize the drivers. They say 242 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: that they've been misclassified as independent contractors and they're being 243 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: deprived of fair wages and benefits. But let me ask 244 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: you this. They voted overwhelmingly this group of seventy thousand 245 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: independent truckers that they don't want to be employees. They're 246 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: really being deprived of wages and benefits. Don't you think 247 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: they really favor this because it's a lie, it's a 248 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: talking points, it's corruption. They want to force these people 249 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: into being employees so the unions can get the union dues. 250 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: The other choice they have is to become employers, which 251 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: means they have to go get permits and insurance. And 252 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: they said that's costly and bureaucratic, and they know that's 253 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: not a real choice. The union and Lorna Gonzalez and 254 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: all these other crooks know that that's not a real choice. Again, 255 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: it's a talking point to confuse the media. They union 256 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: leaders wanted the due's money. It's millions and millions of dollars. 257 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: Unions are traditionally hopelessly corrupt, and they get to be 258 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: corrupt because they usually cut in the politicians on some 259 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: of the loot. And so the politicians come up with 260 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: some complicated bill that forces you into employment against your will. 261 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: And of course most of the truckers don't want to 262 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: become employees. Of course they don't. And of course the 263 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: unions and Governor Knwsom will lie about it. That you 264 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: have to lie about it. You have to have the 265 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: alternate story to confuse the media, to confuse the public, 266 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: which is really paying attention. Most of the public doesn't 267 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: even understand this. Their only hope was for Nusom to 268 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: do something. It looks like he's not going to do anything, 269 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: not going to do anything. He's in on the deal 270 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: because the Supreme Court, the US Supreme Court turned aside 271 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: the last shot at doing something about EB five, and 272 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: that means you're done with appeals at least for the 273 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: legal system. You have to have a move by the 274 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: legislature of the governor. He signed this, he wanted this. 275 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: This is how he gets his union bucks at Lorna Gonzalez, 276 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: Gavin Knewsom, the legislators. They're for sale. They're for sale 277 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: to the highest bidder. The highest bidder in this case, 278 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: were the teamster unions and so they got the prize. 279 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: They're forcing these guys into employment that none of these 280 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: truckers want. And the truckers, what have they got to 281 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: lose here? They're being forced into a life that they 282 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: don't want. They want the freedom of their own work schedules, 283 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: their own hours of moving around in between companies as freelancers. 284 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: That's what they want, and it was taken away because 285 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: of our corrupt California government. All right, when we come back, Well, 286 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: we know a little more about one of the big 287 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 1: stories this week, all the jewels that were stolen from 288 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: a Brinx truck. It happened at an I five truck stop. 289 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: Weird story, Who did it? Where'd they go? We'll talk 290 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: about it coming up John and Kent Show. All right, Well, 291 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: we began this hour talking to a business group that 292 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: doesn't want the indoor mask mandate to come back in 293 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: La County. Next hour it'll be a parents group, parents 294 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: of students in La County schools who do not want 295 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: the mask mandate to return, and they're even threatening to 296 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: go to court. And as we said earlier, doesn't seem 297 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: like there's any politician who wants to stand up and 298 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: say the same thing. The evidence is all there. The 299 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: hospitalization numbers are not anywhere in any close territory to 300 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: where they were. There is no need to do. We 301 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: are telling you there is no emergency. There are very 302 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: few people in the hospital because of COVID. They simply 303 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: don't exist. This is a hoax, This is a fraud. 304 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: There's no reason for this. We've had a number of 305 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: doctors speak out publicly. I know doctor Klausener personally. I've 306 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: known him for a long time. We were in the 307 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: same school together. If he comes on and tells you 308 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: there is no emergency here, there's very few people in 309 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: the hospital specifically because of COVID, you can believe him. 310 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: The other two prominent doctors at USC Medical Center said 311 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: the same thing. They counted the number of people were 312 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: in the hospital strictly because of COVID, very few, and 313 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: nobody's in the ICU, and the number of people of 314 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: dying of COVID is less than the numbers Barbara Ferrera 315 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: is using. Because some of those people died and coincidentally 316 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: they had COVID two, but they died of something else. 317 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 1: The numbers are being manipulated. These are false numbers. Ferrere 318 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: is committing a fraud here in order to take away 319 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: people's freedoms. And this is what we predicted two and 320 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: a half years ago. And that's what's going on. And 321 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: she gets her power from Gavin Newsom's emergency order, and 322 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: we told you he would never relinquish it, and we 323 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: told you that she would never stopped trying to force 324 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: people to cover their faces whenever she says so. And 325 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 1: she's not doing it. She was at the All Star 326 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: Game this week in crowds, not wearing a mask. It's 327 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: like the global warm It's like the climate change people 328 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: who keep flying private jets. This whole class of people, 329 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: this whole class are phonies, all coming up in the 330 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: four o'clock hour. Now we'll move over to robberies. You know, 331 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: besides what happened at those seven eleven in the early 332 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: morning hours of July eleventh, where a number of seven 333 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: elevens were robbed, a couple of people were shot and killed, 334 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: several others wounded, something else also happened in the early 335 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: hours of July eleventh. That was quite a morning. This 336 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: was the Brinx heist. Apparently it was a Brinx truck 337 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: and they were moving a whole lot of jewelry from 338 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: one jewelry show to another from northern California. They were 339 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: headed down to Pasadena, but they stopped at something called 340 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: the Flying J truck stop along the I five in 341 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: the Grapevine to have a break a couple of guards, 342 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: and apparently while they left the truck locked, they were 343 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: not around the truck for twenty seven minutes, and that's 344 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: when the gang of thieves made their move. They apparently 345 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: bypassed the truck's locking mes mechanism and use the storage 346 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: containers to haul away a bunch of gems, gold, and 347 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: other valuables from this tractor trailer. This was about two am, 348 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: and I don't know if there's any surveillance video of 349 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: this because this was a truck stop and I'm not 350 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: sure where the truck was parked. There's also a dispute 351 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: as to how much the worth of the goods that 352 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: were stolen is. Brinks says it was less than ten million, 353 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: based on the insurance, but some associated with the International 354 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: Gem and Jewelry Show World said no, that was probably 355 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: closer to a hundred million dollars worth of jewels. They 356 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: do believe that ten million would just be the beginning baseline. 357 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: They think that the value of what was stolen will 358 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: probably be escalating. Well. Arnold Duke is the president of 359 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: the International Gem and Jewelry Show, and they were going 360 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,719 Speaker 1: from San Mateo Pasadena. We're looking at more than one 361 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: hundred million, one of the largest jewelry heights ever. We're 362 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: talking gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, loads of luxury watches that 363 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: were fifteen exhibitors each with five to ten million in merchandise. 364 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: There are small businesses with their entire worth vested in 365 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: that truck. It has destroyed them financially and affected their health. 366 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: In some cases, the discrepancy has to do with insurance, 367 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: whether they were insured for that amount, whether these businesses 368 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: wanted to or could afford to ensure them at full value. 369 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: But doesn't this seem impossible? Does it seem normal? I 370 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: don't know the Brink's business, but does it seem normal 371 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: that you leave a truck with one hundred million dollars 372 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: worth of jewels and at two in the morning off 373 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: the grape vine? This could be. They were coming from 374 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: San Mateo down to Pasadena. They believed the truck had 375 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: seven hundred to one hundred pound plastic containers filled with 376 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: all these jewelry, gems, Rolex watches. They think that whoever 377 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: did this followed them from the other trade show and 378 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: then saw their chance when they stopped at the truck stop, 379 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: thinking well, they'll probably be here a while. Maybe it's 380 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: more than a bathroom break. What didn't Yeah, it was 381 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: twenty seven minute break. And they're also saying that the 382 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: locking mechanism they acknowledged they would not be exceedingly difficult 383 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: to crack. They wouldn't say what it was. Doesn't this 384 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: all kind of smell. Brinks doesn't have a requirement that 385 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: you have one guard stay with the with the loot. Yeah, 386 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: you would think so. I know whether there was two 387 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: or three involved in this hauling, because because San Mateo 388 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: Topacitin is not that far that that's a one day trip, right, 389 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: This happens to lebec off the I five, where there's 390 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: very little crime. So it seems like you're dealing with Brinks. 391 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, but if I was, if I had 392 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: ten million dollars worth of jewels with Brinks, I would 393 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: assume or I wouldn't use their service. I would assume 394 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 1: that it is under constant surveillance. One guy is always 395 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: left in the truck and people go to the restroom 396 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: and shifts or eating shifts, or they eat in the 397 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: car or whatever it is they eat in the truck. 398 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I cannot imagine that is the company protocol really, 399 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: that all the guys go in and nobody stays with 400 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: the truck. And it maybe not. Maybe these guys defied 401 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: the protocol, So we don't know that. And how how 402 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: is it possible? How is it possible that Brinks, which 403 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: is synonymous but the tightest security, right, it's it's it's 404 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: it's a generic name. It is yes for security. They 405 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: have a locking mechanism that was easily bypassed. I don't 406 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: believe any of this, all right, there has to be 407 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: somebody inside Brinks. That's a part of this. That has 408 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: to be somebody. And how would these these bad guys, 409 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: these thieves know that this Brinks truck had one hundred 410 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: million dollars in gems and knew where this was going. 411 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: How would they have this information? How would they know 412 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: the locking mechanism is easily bypassed. How would this truck 413 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: be made available for half an hour? Come on, there's 414 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 1: somebody at Brinks that has to be involved here. They 415 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: apparently do have some witnesses. They have reviewed security videos 416 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: from the truck stops, so they did turn over security. 417 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: They're not really saying what they found so far. But 418 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: here we are days later, and actually it's ten days later. 419 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: No one's been arrested yet. So I don't know. I mean, 420 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: you might be right. I don't know whether or not 421 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: this is an inside job or what. Well, I mean, 422 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: how could all those things happen. There's three unusual events here. 423 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: You don't have three coincidences. You have these thieves mysteriously 424 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: knew the route and what was contained inside the truck, 425 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: and you had a twenty seven minute break with nobody 426 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: protecting the trunk, and you had the lock that was 427 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: easily bypassed. There should be no such thing as a 428 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: Brinks lock that is easily bypassed. That should be impossible. 429 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: It should be some kind of complicated technology that it was. 430 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: It would be unthinkable unless you blew up the truck. Now, 431 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: in a story similar to this, but on a much 432 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: smaller scale, and I actually saw this on Fox eleven 433 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 1: News the other night, a guy went to a Wells 434 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: Fargo bank in shrumant Oaks and withdrew ten thousand dollars 435 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: and he came outside with it in a little bag, 436 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: and he immediately was accosted by a man with a gun. 437 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 1: If you see the video, the victim jumps over some 438 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: sort of a wall to try to get away, but 439 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: the guy catches him points a gun at him, so 440 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: he throws the bag, which lands on top of a car, 441 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: and basically says, don't shoot. And the robber takes the 442 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: bag and runs off. And everybody's looking at this story 443 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: and wondering because he apparently the robber ignored other people 444 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: coming out of the bank, but this particular guy he 445 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: went right after. Did he get tipped off? How one's 446 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: coming out of the bank right now with a big 447 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: lot of cash. That's the suspicion here, although investigators are 448 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: saying they have no proof of that. Well, they have 449 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: no proof of that, But then how else did it happen? 450 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: How How would the guy know out of all the 451 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: customers going in and out, how are they out? How 452 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: do you know how to pick the guy with ten 453 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in rash exactly? And when they went right 454 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: up to him, he's just come out of the bank. 455 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: I mean he was out of the side of the 456 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: guy was waiting for him, right exactly. So somebody got 457 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: a signal, here's the guy, You jump him. Next guy 458 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: who comes out, you jump. How could it not be 459 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: that wells Fargo issued a statement where ware of the incident, 460 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: our top concern is the safety will being of our customer. 461 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 1: Our top concern is the safety and well being of 462 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: our Yeah. One of the detectives says there's no evidence 463 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: of an inside job. The tip off could have been 464 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: that the victim was carrying this bag that was probably 465 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: full of cash. But I guess I don't know that 466 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: that's why he picked him, because he had the little 467 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: bag with him, and they figured about that must be 468 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 1: a larger hall of cash because he had to put 469 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: it in a bag. But it was like a little 470 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: zip bag. I saw it, So I don't know. It's 471 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: very suspicious, all right. Again, coming up after four o'clock, 472 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: the parents are responding to the possible return of the 473 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: indoor mask mandated in La County with a possible loss 474 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: that We'll have a guess to talk about that John 475 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: and Ken show if i'd sometime later. I want to 476 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: get into something the Los Angeles Times just published a 477 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: map of how La County primary voters voted in the 478 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: sheriff's selection Vieneueva and Robert Luna, and it's it's a 479 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: complete surprise to me. It's a completely opposite of what 480 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: I would have expected. Oh, the West side of La 481 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: went heavily against Vieneueva. The Hispanic and Black neighborhoods went 482 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: heavily for heavily for Vieneueva.
