Speaker 2: Hi.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 3: About two hours ago, the voice of John Coe belt

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: in my head. It happened again. I stopped at a

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 3: convenience store to buy a powerball ticket. I came out

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: and there was a guy walking past me to go

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: in the convenience store, left his car running right there,

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: big Chevy suburban.

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 4: Oh I used to have Why didn't you take it?

16
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 4: Even had?

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: I think like those letters on the back and it's

18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: some sort of a limos like TCP. Do you ever

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: see those? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a car service. Yeah,

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 3: it's a car service. I heard you saying, take it

21
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: because it's free in La County. That's right, no bail.

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 3: Oh it's a Burton release. I have no record, so

23
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: really I'm a definite site release. They will they will

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: dismiss the charges. First offense. You might have to go

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: to a diversion class. Do you have to have the

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: car the suburban back?

27
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: No, you don't. That's a bonus. I didn't realized. That's

28
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: the law to the new bail schedule. You may keep

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: the asset. It's called the fighting Finders Keepers provision and

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: suburbans are really fun to drive, like im. You can't

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: park them.

32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: But oh, you had dnsil over you as I remember

33
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: that because we had that tiny garage in the Korea town.

34
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

35
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I used to have trouble fitting. I

36
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: may have sales people's cards, I remember, you can say that.

37
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: I think I've scraped somebody. It was a big green thing,

38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: wasn't it green? Yeah?

39
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 4: Dark green?

40
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't it like ten take my tank to work.

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: I used to just flatten people on the way in.

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

43
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: Well, you know we're going to talk about the no

44
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: bail situation. We were expecting perhaps a cord here today.

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: Twelve LA County Cities towns filed a lawsuit over the

46
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: weekend to try to slap an injunction on this, but

47
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: we think it didn't happen today. They may have been postponed.

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 3: And again the problem is where to have the hearing.

49
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: Since La County Superior Courts the one that issued the

50
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: new bail schedule, which is zero bail. And again, if

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: you know what we're talking about, carth theft is one

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: of those crimes.

53
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: Now it's probably a sit and release. So yes, so everyone,

54
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: we got to keep reiterating this. You're entitled to one

55
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: free steal. Well, you think the second steel might get

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: you in trouble.

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 4: Or might is a good word.

58
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it will, but I think we

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: can guarantee you that the first one there'll be no consequences.

60
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 3: Well, remember what we learned from Mayor Joe Vinettieri of

61
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: Whittier the other day. He said, the problem will be jurisdictions.

62
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: So if I took this guy's car today here is

63
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: like the South Bay, it was like Redondo Beach, right,

64
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: And then I took a guy's card tomorrow on Long Beach,

65
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: they might be able to cross check to see the

66
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: got a site and released the day before, right, So

67
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: to them, Oh, it's your first time you go, and

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: then I'll hop up in another jurisdiction, take another car right

69
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: from the cross check and releases.

70
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Goa to Orange County, go to Riverside, County. Yeah, really

71
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: mix them up.

72
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: Look, they can't they can't keep track of Uh wait,

73
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 4: we don't know if Riverside County has no bail. I

74
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 4: don't know about that. La County. Yeah. I got to

75
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 4: stay in the counties.

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, then you'll be subject to the I don't.

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: Know what I don't mean. I don't think they're no bail.

78
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: You mean the other county. No, Orange County is not

79
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: no bail. The other counties are enforcing the law and

80
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: they have consequences.

81
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: It's and this day and age. Wow, what's the matter

82
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: with them?

83
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: Governments still do that? Don't you know?

84
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: We want all the jails and Christmas empty. Nobody goes

85
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: in behind bar nobody.

86
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: Hey, you know what reminds me maybe tomorrow will do

87
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: this because I haven't finished reading it. I subscribe to

88
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Michael Schellenberger's news service.

89
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

90
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: And he has written an article with another guy and

91
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: they've put a chart together and it what it is,

92
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: it's it. He's absolutely convinced like wokeness is a religion, goes,

93
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: he goes. It is now merged with psychopathic behavior, which

94
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: is a whole set of symptoms. Right, if you if

95
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: you have a cycle. If you know a psychopathic person,

96

Speaker 1: odds are they have the following symptoms. And they made

97
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: a really effective chart and you read this, it's like,

98
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, this is absolutely right. You know a lot

Speaker 1: of these woke people, these activists, right, these crazy activists

100

101
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: a serious mental disorder. And that's who's taken control of

164
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: What's that? Switch to electric or handpowered yard tools?

165
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: Some people have like the little clippers there there there's

166
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: like electric where we're going back to hand cranks or

167
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: no no, no electric, so you can you can have

168
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: an electrical one bow where they exist, so they're kind

00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 3: each week. Okay, so you're not having the Amazon guy

172
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: coming every day.

173
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: And Deborah, Deborah mark the last one is for you.

174
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, eat no meat for it one day.

175
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I'm see I'm doing my part today.

176
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: How does that help? Well? They think that raising cattle

177
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: is not good for the cow farns.

178
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: Wait, wait a second, So if I don't eat meat

179
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: for a day, the cow is farting least tomorrow.

180
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: Does that include the chickens? Of the chickens pollute? Do

181
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 4: we know chickens fart? Sure? I know what they're tiny

182
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 4: we do. Shouldn't the cow not eat so they don't fart?

183
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: But then you wouldn't have very good beef if it

184
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: doesn't eat. That's fair?

185
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: All right, we got so I want you all to know.

186
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: So is free today. So run down to that bus station.

187
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: It's at a real government website.

188
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 4: Huh.

189
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: All that burnbank two? John Burbank's participating, so you can

190
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 3: run outside.

191
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: I'm the only one doing my part today.

192
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: Oh that's right, the rest of polluters, you are all polluters.

193
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: Wait, I listed like thirty things and the one thing

194
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: we got is jember.

195
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: Mark not eating me.

196
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: Right.

197
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, every little bit helps and not exactly a sacrifice,

198
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: all right. Johnny ked KFIM six forty live everywhere.

199
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: IHEARTRADIOI you're listening to John and Ken on demand from

200
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty.

201
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: You may not know this, but the California rain year

202
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: goes from October first to September thirtieth every year. So

203
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: what happened Saturday September thirtieth? It was time to take

204
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: a look at the past year's rain collection of snow

205
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: because we just began the new water year, and great

206
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: new we're a lot of good news today. We already

207
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: told you can write metro for free. Oh oh, he

208
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: told you can write metro for free, and you can

209
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: steal a car for free. You can probably steal a

210
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: car that's left running. Because California, La County has no pail.

211
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: The state's reservoirs are one hundred and twenty eight percent

212
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: of their history are average. It is among the wettest

213
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: years in recorded state history. And again we stop and say.

214
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: Recorded state history, just like we're going to mock them

215
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: when they talk about the high temperatures and the lack

216
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: of rain.

217
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: We're not going to take this seriously either.

218
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: How boy, how many of these guys predicted drought for

219
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: this past year? How many warnings were there in the

220
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: media and by public officials and politicians.

221
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: Well, remember the official prediction was was a lot of nina.

222
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: Remember that we knocked them for that. Nina is it

223
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: means it's going to be a cooler and dryer win.

224
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Right, So how many times you know, you can't keep

225
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: track of everything, but how many times did you know

226
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the El segundo prob The Times run a story about

227
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: drier conditions expected this winter, raising the risks of fire,

228
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: spotlighting the climate change issue, because they did.

229
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: That story again the other day, except they flipped it

230
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: because we had so much rain.

231
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 4: Now there's so much vegetation it could all burn.

232
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: You know what, it's October. You're hearing a lot about fires. No, no,

233
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: you're not. This has been a very quiet fire year.

234
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: But they don't report on that. Now everything has to

235
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: be gloom and doomed because we're pushing the climate change thing.

236
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: What if climate change meant cooler, wetter weather in California

237
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: permanently and the fire risk would be greatly diminished, drought

238
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: risk great.

239
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 4: Then they have nothing to panic people. Would that make

240
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: climate change a good thing for California, Well, of course

241
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: it would, yes, that wouldn't be reported. You haven't seen

242
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 4: one article on that.

243
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: So brings us to this story, which kind of shocked

244
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: me today, particularly in light of the news we just

245
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 3: gave you about the reservoirs. California is soon going to

246
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: require many cities to significantly cut water use. This was

247
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: a bill signed by Governor Apocalypse Jerry Brown in twenty eighteen.

248
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: It was far into the future. It's one of those

249
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: things look long term here and start talking about water

250
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: restrictions beginning years into The reductions are supposed to not

251
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: start until the year twenty twenty five, but apparently the

252
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: utility companies around the state and they're gonna be holding

253
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: some public hearings on this, which also kind of surprised me.

254
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: About the restrictions, Consumption may have to be cut by

255
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 3: twenty percent or more within two years, and violators could

256
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: get a fine as high as ten grand per day.

257
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: Now that would be the water agency, not you. But

258
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: they could turn around and come after you. That would

259
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 3: be the idea. Well, yeah, they always get money from

260
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: the customers. What if this is a long term trend.

261
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: What if we're ending a cycle now where we're gonna

262
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: have a lot of rain every year for the foreseeable future.

263
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: You're already predicting a super Alninio this year, aren't they right,

264
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: which probably won't happen. We're already at one hundred and

265
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent of average. What if we get up

266
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty percent? Are they going to

267
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: stale mandate these twenty percent cut?

268
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 4: Do you know what the is called?

269
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: Making conservation a California way of life? But that is

270
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: though it doesn't matter what the rainfall is. They want

271
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 3: to do this permanently.

272
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: That's that is the real agenda. They want to control

273
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: what you do, whether it's needed or not. And it's

274
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: never been needed. We've never run out of water, We've

275
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: never come close to running out of water. What every

276
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: year is that we had these draconian warnings, you can

277
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: only what are your lawn on Wednesdays? You have to

278
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,359
Speaker 1: take a five minute shower. That it was all nonsense.

279
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: Nobody ran out of water.

280
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: You have these isolated rural villages that sometimes run dry,

281
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: but that's what you get for living in a rural village.

282
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: But in the cities the suburbs, nothing bad's ever happened,

283
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: and nothing bad is going to happen.

284
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: Because they put a chart in the San Francisco Chronicle.

285
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: It's only the a's These are the water agencies, and

286
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 3: I'm only ticking out the ones that are here in

287
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 3: southern California.

288
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: But City of Arcadia, the goal is a.

289
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: Twenty two percent cut by twenty twenty five and a

290
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: forty one percent cut by the year twenty thirty five

291
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: for the City of Arcadia water usage.

292
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: Wow.

293
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 3: Why they based this on usage?

294
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 4: And they based this on they based.

295
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: It on their desire to control people's lives. Because if

296
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: they if they take away your water or they wildly

297
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: overcharge so it's unaffordable, then they control your life. You don't,

298
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: all right, God, I wish I could pound this into

299
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: everyone's head. This is not about climate change or drought.

300
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: That is their facade, that is their that is their

301
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: cover story. What they really want to do is be

302
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: in charge, and people don't understand that that's human nature.

303
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: Some people love to micromanage, love to control details.

304
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: They some of the plans don't, including maybe you want

305
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: to get in on this giving you a low flow

306
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: shower head so it'll just trickle out of your.

307
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate that stuff. I've changed in your shower

308
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: head for a lot. I haven't gotten used to the

309
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: low flush toilets yet. Oh yeah, that's right. You hated

310
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: that when they were reduced. I still doater.

311
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: Did you see when Trump was on that rant the

312
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: other day about California. We played some of the clips

313
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: on Monday where he was mocking Biden, and he was,

314
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: you know, mocking I guess crime. Yeah, shoot the shoplivers.

315
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 4: There was one other.

316
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Story in there, but I didn't grab the audio on

317
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: which you know, and this tells this is Trump in

318
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: a nutshell. Made a great point about the smashing grabs,

319
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: made a great point about Biden. But you know, he

320
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: told the audience that people in Beverly Hills stink.

321
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: Do you know what the rest of that is? No,

322
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: their shower time is restricted.

323
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: So therefore they barely get any water to shower and

324
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: they smell, which is not true. But well, I don't

325
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: know when was the last time you sniffed a Beverly

326
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: Hills residence.

327
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've not heard any stories. Could snort under the

328
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: armpit there and see what's up.

329
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: That story was circulating a few years ago, and like

330
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: emails and stuff that were all gonna.

331
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: We're going to start to smell.

332
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all gonna be limited to like a gallon

333
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: a day of We're gonna turn into France. But it's

334
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: typical Trump too in the way he said that too.

335
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: Go dear Beverly Hills person, stay stink sniff. Then I

336
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: guess the crowd loved it. All right.

337
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: Well, we're gonna move from water to fire, and what

338
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: a story.

339
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: This is Pacific Gas and Electric, probably the worst utility

340
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: in the United States, and it's.

341
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: Most deadly, most murderous, that's right, and always on the

342
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: edge of bankruptcy.

343
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: Well, they had a plan about the wildfires, and now

344
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: it may not happen.

345
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: We'll tell you what it is.

346
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: Johnny Ken kf I AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 1: Sorry that again. No, I don't think I have any

355
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: animal stories for you today.

356
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 5: So well, yeah, I mean maybe you can't even find

357
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: a good one.

358
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 4: I'll find one.

359
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: But all the stories he does there is animal suffering,

360
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: animal slaughter, genocides the moon.

361
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 5: He will.

362
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Well.

363
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: I think they're doing a big push to clear the

364
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: shelters again for October.

365
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: So there's a happy story.

366
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 5: Yeah. I've been trying to convince my husband to let

367
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 5: me get a third dog and it's not going very well.

368
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 4: You're still doing that? How often do you bother him?

369
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 5: Because I sent him a picture of this really cute

370
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 5: dog and so.

371
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: Cute, he's going to block you.

372
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 5: And he said to me last night, can you stop?

373
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 4: Can you just stop? Three dogs? God, two dog house.

374
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: I can't imagine anybody saying that to you.

375
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: I've yet to see too many three dog households.

376
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 5: There was a lady that because my husband and I

377
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 5: went on a walk the other day and there was a.

378
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: Lady with three dogs.

379
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 5: I stopped her and I said, in front of my husband, Hey,

380
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 5: how is it with three dogs.

381
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 4: It's a little hard, but you get used to it.

382
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: She didn't have a husband, probably that's right. But no,

383
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: it's like the cat lady. Yeah, the multiple dog, multiple cat.

384
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: Women are living alone and you can tell they're living alone.

385
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 4: Just by the way. These are my killed men.

386
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 5: Well, I have children as well, but I just kids

387
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 5: are adults though, Yes, that's true, they are.

388
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: You need to replace the stop.

389
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 5: No, you know what they do. Get her, get her,

390
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 5: get her, go get her, go rescue her. That's what

391
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 5: they say.

392
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 4: They don't have to live with it. So your husband's

393
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: the only block. Yes, keep us posted. I will uh.

394
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 3: My favorite name from the world of names, but I'm

395
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: talking about the head of Pacific Gas and Electric is

396
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: Patty Poppy.

397
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: I just love that name. Hi, I'm Patty Poppy. Patty Pop.

398
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: Did you good to meet John Barry Booby. Patty Poppy

399
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: became chief executive of Pacific Gas and Electric in twenty

400
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 3: twenty one. This is after we had some of the

401
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: most horrific wildfires really in the history right a country,

402
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: ci the one in Paradise.

403
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: The old set of executives who murdered all those people

404
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: in Paradise, they ran off with millions of dollars in

405
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: Golden Parachutes.

406
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: Golden Parachutes exactly right. So Patty Poppy had a big problem. Apparently,

407
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 3: the PG and E lines come down and the winds

408
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: and they spark these big wildfires, particularly in these areas

409
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: where there's a lot of trees, and the company is

410
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 3: going bankrupt. So they did emerge from bankruptcy. But she

411
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: made a promise a couple of years ago that they

412
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: were going to go big time with undergrounding.

413
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 4: Ten thousand miles of power.

414
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: Lines would be buried to reduce, if not almost eliminate

415
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 3: the wildfire risk from the power lines. I think we

416
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: agreed John at the time it was the thing to do.

417
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 4: It is there as well.

418
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: She's been turned down. The California Public Utilities Commission says

419
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: that right now the rates are already rising from many

420
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: rate payers in California, particularly PG ANY customers.

421
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: This will cost too much because their stupid green energy requirements.

422
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: That's why the rates are rising. Yes, you know, it's

423
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: all this wind and solar energy. If they go back

424
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: to using natural gas, it would be much cheaper, and

425
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: then they would have the money to spend on transmission

426
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: lines being built underground. That's absolutely what they should do.

427
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: That's the worst fire hazard. It is the cause of

428
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: so many tens of billions of dollars of damage, hundreds

429
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: of deaths.

430
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 3: Here's the compromise from the Public Utilities Commission. How about

431
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: two thousand miles underground and the rest will be super

432
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: They'll be like a super insulation put on the remainder,

433
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: some sort of material that we're reduced but not eliminate

434
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 3: the risk. So that's only twenty percent of the goal

435
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: of ten thousand.

436
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: Right, and the rates are going to keep going up anyway,

437
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: as they keep trying to cram more green energy into

438
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: the system, right, which hasn't cooled the planet either.

439
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 4: Not of a concern because.

440
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: This pushed to get everybody to go electric is going

441
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: to put a real strain on companies like.

442
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 4: PG and E.

443
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: If more people do get electric vehicles, if more people

444
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: do switch over to electric appliances.

445
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 4: Sure, we've talked about this before. Well, they're gonna have

446
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 4: to come up with more power. The system is going

447
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: to collapse. It could collapse. It is impossible.

448
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: It is impossible for PG and E and the rest

449
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: of them to create enough power so that everyone could

450
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: drive an electric car. And it's impossible by an extreme

451
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: long shot. It's going to take forever unless they build

452
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: nuclear plants. If they don't build nuclear plants, there is

453
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: no chance, no chance, that they're ever going to have

454
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: an electrical grid to meet all the electrification that's being

455
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: mandated in posts.

456
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: They want to go one hundred percent renewable. I forget.

457
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: The goal year might be twenty forty I forget. Michael

458
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: Schellenberger has written extensively about this. He said that you'd

459
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: have to build like twenty nuclear plants in California, twenty

460
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: of them in order to achieve what they're going to

461
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 1: need with all this mandated electricity. It's simply impossible. So

462
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: how much would it be adding to bills?

463
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: Now? It is significant.

464
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: Forty four dollars and twenty six cents a month for

465
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: four years would be added to residential bills to underground

466
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: the ten thousand miles. That's why the Public Utility Commission said, oh,

467
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: that's too much to ask the customers.

468
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: But then we have to how much have we had

469
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: to pay?

470
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: I know, sad wildfire, the billions and billions dollars of lawsuits,

471
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: how many people lost their lives, how many homes burned.

472
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Of course, on the other side of that, it's like,

473
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: stop building your homes in these fire prone areas, like

474
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have Let nobody should rebuilding Paradise.

475
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 4: Well, no, nobody should.

476
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: They should bulldoze the rest of it and plant trees instead.

477
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: People consider it beautiful out here in nation. I know,

478
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: but I'm tired of bailing most people out. Patty Poppy

479
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 4: made another good point.

480
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: She said that, you know, if we own the underground

481
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: two thousand miles, that other eight thousand miles still have

482
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 3: to be maintained. We're gonna have to pay to go

483
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: out there and trim the trees and the brush and

484
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 3: everything else that's not free.

485
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: We don't have to do that when we underground.

486
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 3: There's almost no maintenance costs involved in trying to prevent

487
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: wildfires when everything's underground.

488
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: Looks like we have a four year issue here if

489
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: their numbers are correct, and they're probably not. The undergrounding

490
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: well yes, it says here forty four dollars each month

491
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: over a four year period. Now, what's it going to

492
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: cost to maintain eight thousand miles of above ground?

493
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 4: Why?

494
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: How much does it cost to have this for insulation?

495
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: For they get to and how I have to reinsulate

496
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: all these lines, and how many fires are we going

497
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 3: to have?

498
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: What do they project the billions of dollars in cost

499
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: from those fires and the loss of life and to

500
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: pay off the lawsuits, not only the damage but the lawsuits.

501
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I want to see here, and

502
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: I realized that would be a complicated spreadsheet. But they're

503
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: putting out a news story that doesn't really explain clearly

504
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: what the options are, and I wonder if they've even

505
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: figured it all out.

506
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: They're saying here that burying one mile of these power

507
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 3: lines costs three point three million dollars, whereas insulating one

508
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 3: mile is eight hundred thousand dollars. These numbers are coming

509
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: from one of these consumer advocacy groups that thinks the

510
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: rates are too high, and they are too high, but

511
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: you have to be a little bit suspicious because they're

512
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 3: just against any kind of.

513
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: Get off this green energy fanaticism, and the rates would

514
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: come down considerably. We pay triple triple the electricity prices

515
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: of neighboring states. I think we're at least last I

516
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: saw sixty percent higher than the national average. So that's

517
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: why people can't afford this kind of increase.

518
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: All right, We got more coming up Johnny KENKFIAM six forty.

519
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 4: We're live everywhere.

520
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app and I guess so all these lines are

521
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: uninsulated right now and unmaintained. No, they are instantly, but

522
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: apparently they're gonna redo it with us they think of

523
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: better material.

524
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

525
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: AM six forty.

526
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

527
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: Coming up after two o'clock, we'll be talking to Jeffrey

528
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: Clayton with the American Bail Coalition. Of course, the topic

529
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: will be La County's no bail schedule, which just came

530
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: into effect on Sunday. We were hoping for some sort

531
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 3: of court hearing today. There's a lawsuit from twelve cities

532
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: in La County to try to slap an injunction on

533
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: the no bail move by the La County Superior Court.

534
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: But we don't think that happened. But we'll be keeping

535
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: an eye on the story and we'll talk to Jeffrey

536
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: after the news at two o'clock on the John and

537
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 3: Ken Show. Well, it was a bloodbath if you like

538
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: your Starbucks coffee. Starbucks shut seven of its downtown San

539
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: Francisco locations. They were all shut just over the next

540
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 3: several weeks. Employees just got the notice that they're closing

541
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 3: these locations. They put out one of those corporate statements.

542
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 3: Each year is a standard course of business. We evaluate

543
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: the store portfolio to determine where we can best meet

544
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 3: our community in customers' needs. This includes opening new locations,

545
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: identifying stories and need of investment of renovation, exploring locations.

546
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: Hey, blah blah blah.

547
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: Why is everyone incapable of telling the truth? Come when

548
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: I put out a statement saying all these Starbucks they're

549
00:26:54,320 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 1: plagued by meth addicts, crazed mental patients, stinking homeless people,

550
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: why not print the truth. Everyone's scared. The workers are scared,

551
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: the customers are scared. Even the other homeless people are scared.

552
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: So we can't do business anymore. San Francisco is screwed.

553
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: Sam Jeffries, the spokesperson for Starbucks, did not make any

554
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: comment on whether or not the crime had any effect

555
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: and the factor to close these stories.

556
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: It's the only effect. It's the crime, it's and it's

557
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: the vagrants that's it. And it's chicken an egg because

558
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: when we hit the pandemic. A lot of San Francisco

559
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: downtown workers just decided to stay away. They may have

560
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: liked the idea because of what John just said, the

561
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: crime and the vagrants. Anyway, and many of them never

562
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: came back. Given the option to work remotely, this has

563
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: that's who drinks all the coffee. If it was an inviting,

564
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: comfortable setting, which is what a city ought to be

565
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: for workers, they'd be coming back. Just just so you know,

566
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: to most people like meeting other people. They like going

567
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: to lunch, they like having a drink after work. They

568
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: like going shopping when they get a chance. That's what

569
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: most people like to do. So maybe they'd work part

570
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: time from home. But if you had a normal functioning city,

571
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: you'd get a good chunk of the business back because

572
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: human nature doesn't change. Humans like to be with other humans.

573
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: They like communal activities. They like the variety of going

574
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: to different restaurants and social experiences.

575
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: You know, The New York Times did his story over

576
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 3: the weekend. I recognized the woman's name and think her

577
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: name was Heather Knight. I think she used to write

578
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 3: for the Chronicle in San Francisco. She did a story

579
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: that you know, she interviewed San Francisco residents who don't

580
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: like all of this negative publicity about their city. One

581
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: guy said, it's like going to Times Square in New

582
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: York City and judging all of New York City based

583
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 3: on the behavior you're seeing Times Square. There's many beautiful

584
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: neighborhoods and places in San Francisco, but all the negative

585
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: press is coming out of a few neighborhoods where there

586
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: are problems, and I don't admit it in the story

587
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: there are too many drug addicts of homeless people. But

588
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: they were trying to say there's still a lot of

589
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: beautiful places in the city where we go.

590
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: Who cares you know I'm coming. I'm coming from the No,

591
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm coming from the outside, and I'm

592
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: supposed to guess if the next block is good. This

593
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: is just your agenda to kill progressive politics. You're exaggerating everything.

594
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: It should be killed, it should be it should be euthanized,

595
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: or just to outright aggressively murdered all the progressive politics.

596
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 4: I know. When I came down on the.

597
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Ramp in San Francisco last year, we unwittingly drove into

598
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: the Union Square area and it was an absolute zombie scene.

599
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: Scariest scene I'd ever been involved with my in my life.

600
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 4: Terrified.

601
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: We were both terrified in our car, all these drug

602
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: added zombies stumbling around people windows. They would stumble in

603
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: front of the car and just stand there and they

604
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: would like tilt from side to side, or you know,

605
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: they'd stand near the car and look in. And then

606
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: you had all these people living on furniture out on

607
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: the sidewalk in front of retail shops.

608
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: It's like, get out of here.

609
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: Oh hi, I missed there, Pollyanna, isn't everything wonderful. I'm

610
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: looking around. I don't see homeless people defecating on my foot. No,

611
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: everything's fine.

612
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 4: Get out of here. You're part of the problem.

613
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: It's another story related to the vagrants in San Francisco.

614
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: One of the ideas is that these brilliant politicians have

615
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: in many places in LA two is to take the

616
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: RV people and put them in a safe parking place. Well,

617
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: a report came out that it is costing at one

618
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 3: of their safe parking places, Candlestick, point one hundred and

619
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 3: forty thousand dollars a year per vehicle. I mean, I

620
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 3: can't even wrap my brain around that.

621
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: Numbers, right, if you had one hundred and forty thousand

622
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: dollars a year just for housing.

623
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: I guess they have security and services there. I'm not

624
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: sure what all this is.

625
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: But why do why do we have to give them that?

626
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: Why do we have to We're getting.

627
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: Called it the Vehicle Treos Center, that's the name they

628
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 4: gave it. I don't understand.

629
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: We're giving them a parking stuff and they want security

630
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: and they want services.

631
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 4: N we don't have a place to flush our poo.

632
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, it says they have to buy or rent shower,

633
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: bathroom trailers, and washing stations, potable water, plumbing.

634
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 4: That's right, everything's paid for it.

635
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Why do you think why do you think people go

636
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: to work every day? People go to work so they

637
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: can come home and use their toilet. Because if you

638
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: don't work, you don't get a toilet, you don't get

639
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: a sink, you don't get a washcloth, you can't buy soap.

640
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: So that's why we all work.

641
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: That's why work's important, because when you don't have work,

642
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: you don't have money, and then you don't have soap,

643
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: and you don't have a toilet, and you're taking a

644
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: crap in the streets.

645
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 3: But what are trouble getting electricity to the site. So

646
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: they've been bringing in fresh meals to the site daily. Oh,

647
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: it's once the city of San Francisco, and one spokesholl

648
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: says that gets very expensive. Yes, they've had trouble getting

649
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 3: enough electricity. You know, that's another benefit of work. You

650
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 3: get to eat. How about that one?

651
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: You get to eat and then when your body is

652
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: done processing the food, you can poop it out into

653
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: your toilet.

654
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 4: This work thing is is genius.

655
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 3: One hundred and forty thousand a year because but people

656
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: are there and going. That's more than you would pay

657
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: in rent for many apartments in Statamore.

658
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like like this crack pipe and give a

659
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: big inhale and pass out. Okay, well that's productive, that's useful.

660
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how you're gonna get food and the

661
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: toilet out of that, Betty, go enjoy yourself, all right.
