Lots of good guests today. You may have 15 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: seen that there was a slowdown in traffic on the 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: one ten freeway heading from the Harbor towards LA because 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: it was the truckers and they are protesting good old 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: AB five. Who remembers what a B five is anybody? 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: It's the legacy of LORRAINA. Gonzales from the legislature in Sacramento, 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: and that was the one that was trying to turn 21 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: independent people into full time employees of companies that really 22 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: didn't want to have that, so and workers who really 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: don't want it either. They like the freedom of being independent, 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: and that's what the protest was about. As the truckers 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: slowed down considerably to vent their anger. Boy, this is 26 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: really feeding back on me today. Hold on a second. 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: I don't know whether it's you or me, but my 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: voice is coming back to me and it gets annoying. 29 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: It's always at the beginning of the show. Your headphone's 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: up really loud mine, Yeah, because that's what happens. My 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: voice bounces through your headphones and I lowered mine. Is 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: that better? Yes? Much better? Thank you, much better. We're gone. 33 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: Is there anything else I can do for you? I know, 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: it's it's nice for once I have the technically, I'm 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: just here to make you comfortable. Well, I just noticed 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: it's always at the beginning of the show, but by 37 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: later in the show, maybe you turn your headphones down. 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. Are you really hot at the beginning 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: of the show for some reason? No, just just can 40 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: you get cranked up and just everything inattentive? Okay? Anyway, 41 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: we're going to have a representative from the trucking industry on. 42 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: As John said, a lot of them want to stay 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: independent and this is really messing with their lives. So 44 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: we'll hear more about it. Because what happened was there 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: was an injunction slapped on AB five, but apparently the 46 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: last slap came from the US Supreme Court, which decided 47 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: not to hear the case, and that means it's going 48 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: to go into effect. See freelance workers, independent contract workers 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: like truck drivers. Some of them operate a small business owners. 50 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: They go from client to clients, contract to contract, set 51 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: their own work, schedule their own hours, and and Lorna 52 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Gonzalez stupid bill is forcing them to be on somebody's payroll, 53 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: and the trucking company may not want these guys on 54 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: their payroll. They have their own economic model. And what's 55 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: important for you to understand there is she wrote this 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: bill because she wants to help the employees. This way, 57 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: they'll get benefits and they'll get all sorts of advantages 58 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: as full time real employees. But they're saying, screw that, 59 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: we don't want that. We liked the life that we've 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: carved out where we make our own hours, most to 61 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: our own thing. She left politics and she wrote this 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: stupid bill to become a union thug. She's sub official 63 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: now in the union. I think people ought to be 64 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: left alone to work out their own work arrangements with companies, 65 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: whether it's as an employee or as a contractor. Let 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: everybody sorted out individually. You know, I hope these truckers 67 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: block all the freeways well and doing what they did 68 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: up in Canada and fill that. We got a guy 69 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: right here in Burbank. Fill that circle out that you 70 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: just started. Lorena Gonzalez took a position with the big 71 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: union outfit. That's the plan. Then they want to turn 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: around and unionize all these people that they've turned into 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: employees rather than independent workers. That's the idea. Right. By definition, 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: independent workers are not unionized, they're independent. And so she 75 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: was her job. She wasn't really, excuse me, serving the 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: public here, she was serving the union goals. And if 77 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: she got this bill pass, she get rewarded with a 78 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: big union executive position, right she was, Yeah, because the 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: empower of AB five for the unions is all. The 80 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: next step is once we make the employees hire them 81 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: as employees. On the payroll officially, with all the benefits, 82 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: we'll go after unionizing them. So it really is one 83 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: big conspiracy. Of course, the big story this morning was 84 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: the horrific inflation news nine point one percent. And again, 85 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: what they do is they compare June of twenty twenty 86 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: two to June of twenty twenty one, which somewhat of 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: an unfair Comparison's just comparing a month to the previous month, 88 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: the previous year's month, right, But because this has been 89 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: going on for somebody months, it's a clear trend. Yeah, 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: this is the highest since nineteen eighty one. It filters 91 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: out seasonal changes and it's a better benchmark on how 92 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: far we've come because it goes up fractionally every month. 93 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: But then you add up to twelve months and you 94 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: get to the nine percent total. So the headline in 95 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal is leading the charge where hot dogs, cookies, 96 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: and electricity, which is an interesting coin. Price of hot 97 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: dogs really, Yeah, the price of hot dogs shot up. 98 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: Margarine prices up thirty four and a half percent in 99 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: June compared to a year ago. Hot Dog prices were 100 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: climbed sixteen point three percent in June. That's the most 101 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: since the late nineteen seventies. What's cookie prices fourteen point 102 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: seven percent? John, watch out for those special cookies you 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: tried to get from that grocery store. To ground up 104 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: pork organs which make up much of a hot dog. 105 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: This is all Debra's favorite foods. Nothing better than I 106 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. Pork pancreas or whatever. 107 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: Those things are made of. Frozen or refrigerated pies and 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: pastries up seventeen percent. Now, the response from the White 109 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: House was where they were ready for this? Well, gasoline 110 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: was leading the way, and actually that those numbers are 111 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: already out of date, because here in July, gasoline prices 112 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: are dropping. They're out of date. They got a million 113 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: of them, don't they. They do well, they had like 114 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: a days to figure this from the current price of 115 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: gasoline is obscene. I don't care if it's down twenty cents, 116 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: it's obscene. The price, it's horrible. It's one thing that 117 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: makes me crazy about this stuff. And the way it's covered. 118 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: Gas goes to six almost seven bucks, it goes down 119 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: maybe two dimes. It's like, wow, look at that. Prices 120 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: are already on the way down. It looks like gases peaked. Wow, 121 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: but no, you know, six sixty gas or six forty gas. 122 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: It's all really, really, really bad, So stop it, stop 123 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: your cheerer leading rents. Rents went way up. Rents a 124 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: rose five point eight percent from a year ago. Nay, 125 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: it was only at five point two. And they're gonna 126 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: go higher because as mortgage rates go up, less a 127 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: fewer people are going to be able to buy a house, 128 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: which rent more competition for rental units. Yeah. Now, housing 129 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: a cost account for nearly thirty one percent of the 130 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: of the average monthly household budget, so that's where a 131 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: housing inflation makes a big difference. Yeah. I get a 132 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: weekly report from some realist date agent on my side 133 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: of town, and I could see that the number of 134 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: homes sold is down, the number of listings is up, 135 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: the prices per square foot are down a bit. Yeah, 136 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: it's the first signs that we're entering a new phase here. 137 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: What dropped? Airline fares actually fell one point eight percent 138 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: in June from May. Hotel prices dropped three percent. Yeah. 139 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: Smartphone prices fell twenty percent in June from a year ago. 140 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: Do you realize what one percent is a four hundred 141 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: dollar flight. What is that six bucks? Yeah, but at 142 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: least you're not paying more, I know. But well, airline 143 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: prices dropped, yeah, by six dollars. And car and truck rentals, 144 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: which were very expensive as we know, especially during the 145 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: pandemic as we came out of it, have actually begin 146 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: to drop a bit. I like this chart. The Journal 147 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: has fats and oils. Who fats and oils went up 148 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: twenty percent from a year ago. Fats an oil, price 149 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: of fat is up. The price of vat is wow. Yeah. 150 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: Used cars and trucks eased off a little bit too, 151 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: because that got very expensive as those were scarce. But 152 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: that e's off, but all the prices are still way 153 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: way more than they were a year ago. Oh yeah, 154 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: this is on everybody's mind. And every pole I see 155 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: said this is all that mad is marginal changes from 156 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: month to month don't really mean anything. The overall trend 157 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: is way way up. Then I saw a pole. You know, 158 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: the New York Times has been putting out these series 159 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: of poles and leading up to the election. And we'll 160 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: get to it later because it was really bad news 161 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: for Biden. But and he responded to it. But they 162 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: had something about what matters most. And they just broke 163 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: it down to two categories. People with a high school 164 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: education or less, really concerned about inflation on the economy, 165 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: people with advanced degrees. You know what they were worried about. 166 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: You can probably guess abortion and guns. Yeah, there you go. 167 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: Because they're not affected by all this day to day. 168 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: That's that's the luxury of the privileged, is that they 169 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: can immerse themselves in all kinds of cultural and social issues, 170 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: whereas everybody else has to figure out how to pay 171 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: the grocery bill. All right, coming up when we return, Ah, 172 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: the keyword what will be the keyword?

I don't know 176 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: something nice, all right. Seven to eleven is announcer offering 177 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars aboard for information that leads to 178 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: the arrest and conviction of the suspect who apparently committed 179 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: a spree of seven eleven robberies early Monday morning. The 180 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: first occurred in Riverside County. Was also there was one 181 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: in Orange County and then back here in La County, 182 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: a customer and riverside was shot in the head. Remains 183 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: in grave condition. The reward tipsters can remain anonymous. They 184 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: just have to contact the Orange County Crime Stoppers tipline. 185 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: According to a spokesman for seven to eleven, the corporate headquarters, 186 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: as we had mentioned, encouraged to actually encourage seven eleven 187 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: stores in the area to close overnight because of the violence. 188 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: In Breya. You may have heard a store clerk was 189 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: shot and killed during a robbery there. This person is 190 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: particularly vicious and brutal because stores are knocked over, knocked 191 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: off all the time. But this time this guy just 192 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: went in there and just started shooting in a couple 193 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: of cases. All right, let's take a gas. Do you 194 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: think this guy has a criminal record? Ding? Yeah, And 195 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: here's the question. Which law did he benefit from? Was 196 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: it AB one O nine which emptied the state prisons 197 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: eleven years ago? Was it Prop forty seven from George 198 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: Gascone pro Could it be the Nobel Rules? Could it 199 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: be just the fact that they've released as many prisoners 200 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: as they can under the cover of COVID. That's right, 201 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: And all of these things have led to a desperately 202 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: sick mix up. Do you think Jerry Brown or George 203 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: Gascon will end up in the mix here? When we 204 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: find out who this guy is, and they do obviously 205 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: have a photos and videos of him, but all you 206 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: can see are his eyes. Yes, he's got a big, 207 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: heavy hooded sweatshirt on and everything's pretty much covered up 208 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: except his eyes because he has to see where he's going. 209 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: His mouth and nose are covered, his foreheads covered. He 210 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: seems to be black, and he's got this blue sweatshirt. 211 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: Was it saying on a sweatshirt there? That's a big R. 212 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: I can't make out the word it's in script with. 213 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't know touch marijuana leaves growing out of it 214 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: or what upland riverside Santa Anna, Brea and Lahabra. But 215 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: something interesting popped up overnight with regards to this story. 216 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: They're looking at another series of robberies that took place 217 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: in the northern San Fernando Valley, not too far apart 218 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: from these robberies, and they're wondering if it could actually 219 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: be connected to those robberies because they're looking at surveillance 220 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: pictures of the suspects in these crimes and they're wondering 221 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: if maybe it is the same suspect. He's driving around 222 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: all night shooting people, yes, and stealing money. Now, the 223 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: ones that occurred in the San Fernando Valley, they have 224 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: a feeling was done by a homeless person. If that 225 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: doesn't add fuel to this big bonfire of crime that 226 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: we're talking about. But they're trying to see if that 227 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: person could be the same person that committed these seven 228 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: eleven shootings. They're trying to figure out if there's there 229 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: might be the same suspect because, as John mentioned, the 230 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: surveillance pictures, you know, are not exactly clear. You can't 231 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: exactly tell the face. You can't. You can't with the 232 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: hood on, and he's got man with his nose and 233 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: mouth covered. Yeah, stuff to tell what's going on there, 234 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: right right, So that's that's that's what they're working on 235 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: right now. But boys, so he's just he's just picking 236 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: people off for sport, isn't. He's killing people in the 237 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: parking lot, he's killing customers. He's shooting at you know, 238 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: the clerks, just anybody who happens to be standing around. Yeah, 239 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: here's the details on the North San Fernando Valley robberies. 240 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: The first one happened in North Hills at three fifty 241 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: five am, this is Saturday. A man wearried a black 242 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: hooded sweatshirt and uh some sort of a face covering 243 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: and dark jeans, demanded money from store employees at a business. 244 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: Then the same suspect robbed a business at four thirty 245 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: am on Nordoff Street. And then over in Granada Hills, 246 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: a business about three blocks north of Devonshire Street was 247 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: robbed at four thirty in the morning. Then another business 248 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: was robbed two blocks away at five thirty am. And 249 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,479 Speaker 1: again what surveillance footage they have of those, It's possible 250 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: this is also the seven eleven robber from Monday morning. 251 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: So that's what we're talking about. Now, one guy, because 252 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: could they one guy? Shootings and deaths and mayhem? One guy, 253 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: that's what we're dealing. Well let him out, Um yeah, 254 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: who let him out? One of our one of our 255 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: public servants either devised the law or his power was 256 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: used to set this guy free from something. Now, the 257 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: North San Fernando Valley robberies I talked about, They don't 258 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: think he used the car because those businesses were fairly 259 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: close together. And that's where I mentioned they thought this 260 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: might be a transient and I don't know where they 261 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: got that from. Maybe somebody sort of recognized them. But obviously, 262 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: whoever did this at the seven elevens, because these are 263 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: the riverside sant Andabrea or Lahabra, Ontario, that would have 264 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: to be done with a car. What kind of insanity 265 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: or drugs is he on? Because you know, normal robber 266 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: guys want the money, right, they don't necessarily want to 267 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: shoot people, but because they know they're on they shot 268 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: somebody in the parking lot. Yeah, and they know they're 269 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: on video. So if they get caught, they're gonna they're 270 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: gonna go they're gonna go to prison for a long time, 271 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, maybe a week or two. And so it's 272 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: just too much trouble. You can get the money just 273 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: by showing the gun. You don't have to actually shoot anybody. 274 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: So he's he's just picking them off. These are people 275 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: even resisting, They just happen to be there on site 276 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: when he shows up. Yeah, completely not necessary to affect 277 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: any kind of robbery. And what we don't know, And 278 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: I'd be kind of curious did he really get much 279 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: in these robberies, These are small businesses seven elevens. There's 280 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: not like hundreds. It's not like Robin a bank right now, 281 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: people who had a seven eleven three or four in 282 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: the morning, probably just about every one of them is sketchy, 283 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: Like every one of these people, I mean, nobody reasonable 284 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: would be stopping there at that hour. All right, we 285 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: got more covered up. John and Ken Kfie coming up 286 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: after three o'clock. The trucker's protest. We'll have a guest 287 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: down there to talk about what that's about. They slowed 288 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: down traffic on the one ten freeway today as a 289 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: protest against the California Assembly built five. That's the one 290 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: that's supposed to turn people who are freelancers into employees 291 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: of companies, something that especially in the truck industry, they 292 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: don't want. They want to continue to do what they do, 293 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: independent truck driving. So we'll find out more on that 294 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: shut down the freeways comes ahead. John agrees with this one. 295 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: So you get caught in traffic tonight trying to get 296 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: back to your your West side hovel. I'm in support 297 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: of any disruption from the truckers. It was not the 298 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: business of politicians to tell truckers and trucking companies to 299 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: how to create their working relationship. It's not their business. 300 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: We thought this would be worth spending a few minutes on. 301 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: The Daily Mail is a tabloid out of the United Kingdom. Basically, 302 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: they seem to compile all the greatest tabloid stories of 303 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: the world with lots of pictures. In fact, if you 304 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: try to scroll through an article, you'll just it's mostly pictures, 305 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: huge pictures, and huge pictures that don't do Sometimes it 306 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: takes me a while to get to the rest of 307 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: the story because I'm still scrolling through a video and pictures. 308 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: If you don't have a really high speed internet setup, 309 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: it takes a long time to get through a Daily 310 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: Mail story. Yeah, I'm reminded of the tabloids in New 311 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: York when I was younger and reading them because it 312 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: was a lot of pictures. Because people, you know, don't 313 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,479 Speaker 1: really like to read, but if you show them pictures 314 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: like it's tea. There was a lot of illiterate people 315 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: back East. I remember, yes, it was a picture. Can 316 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: you know what a thousand birds? My dad used to 317 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: bring home the New York Daily News every day, New 318 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: York's picture newspaper. That's exactly what they called it, right, 319 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: a little camera logo and headed I would have a 320 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: huge picture on the front page, usually of a mobster 321 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: bleeding from the head and his face down in a 322 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: plate of pasta. Those were my favorites. This was to 323 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: set them apart from the Wall Street turtle in the 324 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: New York Times is a bunch of tiny prints one 325 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: big long page. Well, look at all those words, the 326 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: two opposite universe. My dad didn't want to see all 327 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: those words. So they sent a reporter here to California 328 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: to take a look at our cannabis culture. The reason 329 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: apparently the UK has still has it as a Class 330 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: P drug, but is considering lessening it to a much 331 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: smaller offense. So the Daily Mail thought they'd send a reporter, 332 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: and of course they came to La where half the 333 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: people are don't to sort their way through the many 334 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: stores that market cannabis products of any kind. The story 335 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: starts out with they visit a store with a row 336 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: of luxury healing creams. The packaging is stylishly minimal, clean 337 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: and white with small black typeface, and besides the tubs 338 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: decorative artificial fruit and images of sprawling fields with a 339 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: small reminder with a small flight or a mind customers 340 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: of the high quality, organic nature of the products. Well, 341 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: it's become another like a hocus Pocus health remedy, you know, 342 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: like all kinds of other things that you're supposed to 343 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: rub on your body or inhale. Well, this one that 344 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: she was looking at in the store is specifically designed 345 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: for the for the for the vagina. Is that right? Yeah, 346 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: to redunate, rejuvenate tissues, and replenish tissues in that place. Yea. 347 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: There are a lot of project products that do that. Yes, 348 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: like like half a Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop stores about rejuvenating 349 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: the part. So her name is Eve Simmons, their deputy 350 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: help editor. She mentioned, there's no help from you, guys. No, 351 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: I love there's you. Have you ever seen the penis 352 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: rejuvenation creams Oh no, no, I have not. What you 353 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: what you just said, men, I thought you meant, you know, 354 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: sort of for your sore muscles and stuff. But oh sure, 355 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: but I'm talking for the for the for the big muscle, 356 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: mister big muscle down there. Ah, Well, you just have 357 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: something that works it out, so she writes. Over the 358 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: past few years, doctors in California have begun to voice 359 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: concerns about the repercussions of increasing cannabis use, in particular 360 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: how this approach is fueling a surgeon addiction and mental illness. 361 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: She spent a week traveling across LA and beyond in 362 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: southern California, meeting emergency doctors as well as parents who 363 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: say their families have been torn apart by cannabis, and 364 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: she says in California, hospital admissions for cannabis related complications 365 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 1: have gone up from just fourteen hundred and five to 366 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: sixteen thousand by twenty nineteen. They're finding more psychotic illnesses. 367 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: Have you found any? Have you had any psychostis issues 368 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: since you started? Since I started? Well, you were, you were, 369 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: you were taking those little treats before you go to bed. Uh. No, 370 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: I haven't noticed no edibles. That's yeah, she's not enough 371 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: of a user. And I think the concentration and it's 372 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: been a long time since I've used. Yeah, I have 373 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: something else now it's a prescription. And no, it's not 374 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: what you think. Oh, so you didn't have any psychotic moments? 375 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 1: They got you to give up the edibles. Yeah, okay, now, 376 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: she mentions a review in twenty twenty by psychiatrists at 377 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: a university in Australia. The evidence is still too weak 378 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: to prove the cannabis actually helps anxiety, depression or insomnia, 379 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: Debra Mark. So I don't we don't know yet. So 380 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: you know it does stimulate the brain though, involving mood, attention, memory, 381 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: and it eventually releases the hormone dopamine, responsible for feelings 382 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: of reward and pleasure. Here's another condition. I never heard 383 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: of this um cannaboid hypermesis syndrome. This is when you 384 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: inhale a lot of strong, strong pot It causes scrummating, screaming, 385 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: and violent vomiting. M One doctor here says, I call 386 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: it the audible cannabis condition. I hear the violence screams 387 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: down the hall before I see the patient. You haven't 388 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: had that. You no, no scramating, No, okay, nothing I 389 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: know of. No violence screaming. Well I heard you one 390 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: day here, but yeah, that was something else. Apparently there's 391 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: some product called edible cannabis crystalline. According to the label, 392 00:22:54,040 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: it's really intense. High Experts describe these conservated products as 393 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: the crack cocaine of cannabis. No because It says here 394 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: that that if you if you're average KC levels and 395 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: cannabis is fourteen percent. Yeah, well isn't that kind isn't 396 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: fire your brain? Well? Look what you when you took 397 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: that edible, you took the whole thing that was what 398 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: ten milligrams? Yeah? No, I I know, and the boy 399 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: there were flipping out. There was a lot of everything. 400 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: It was How can I describe this? It was um 401 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: like like black and white circles spinning around and around rapidly. Yeah, 402 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: like ye like when you were a kid, did you 403 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: ever have those? I don't know how to describe it, 404 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: but the things that you spin around and as it 405 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: spins and spins and spins, it looks like that the 406 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: circle is moving in on itself like a pinwheel. Pinwheel, 407 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: that's it? A pin wheel. Yeah, so I was having 408 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: pinwheel dreams. So they're wondering that if people use cannabis frequent, 409 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: they're eventually going to search out higher concentrations. It's like 410 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: any other type of drug, right, you just want more 411 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: and more of it and you want a bigger satisfaction 412 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: from it. And they're wondering, this reporter is in this 413 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: story if that's not what's happening to some people in California. 414 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: You may have seen the story the other day that 415 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: the whole idea of all the money they put they 416 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: get in taxes from the cannabis and marijuana operations in 417 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: the state has been a flop. In fact, they're cutting 418 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: the taxes. There's so many illegal grow operations. Look, you 419 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: created a huge illegal market, yes, because nobody wanted to 420 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: pay the tax. By the way, the illegal marijuana growers, 421 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: they use a huge amount of water that's never factored 422 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: into all these water restriction discussions. The marijuana guys, and 423 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: good luck finding those guys and good luck taking them on. Yeah, 424 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: you believe you're not going to see the water enforcement 425 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: agents driving up to the marijuana farm up in the hills. 426 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: They believe that the illegal cannabis market in California is 427 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: now worth six billion dollars and is twice as large 428 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: as the legal market. That's exactly how bad it is here. 429 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: And she visited a family in twenty nineteen, the son 430 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: of a woman by the Michelle Leopold. He was eighteen. 431 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: He died after dabbling with prescription painkillers and unwillingly took 432 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: a tablet of the powerful opioid fentanyl falling following four 433 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: years of addiction to cannabis. She thinks the only reason 434 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: he touched those pills is because he was searching for 435 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: stronger highs after using cannabis for four years. Say sometimes 436 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: he's her gateway for decades. The government overhyped the dangers 437 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: of marijuana and it did become a joke, and so 438 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: that caused a backlash and a lot of people were 439 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: smoking it and saying, hey, nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. But 440 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 1: I think that if you do smoke it over a 441 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: long period of time and you have high concentrations any 442 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: anything like that, it's going to start to damaging your 443 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: brain and cause, you know, bad reactions it has to 444 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: Your brain is not designed to have all these toxic 445 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: substance in all this stuff is poison, like all the 446 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: drugs people take are really it's it's poison, and so 447 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: you damage your brain over the long term. Yeah, it 448 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: says here doctors across the country, you're seeing a lot 449 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: more patients who have gone from smoking once every few 450 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: months to using cannabis every day, and there are harms 451 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: in that frequent and heavy use is becoming normalized in 452 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: la those who are cannabis used disorder. That's what it's 453 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: called addiction, cannabis used disorder. Not that you can do 454 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: anything about it, then just go ahead stay stoned. Yeah, 455 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: plants some bread and chemically treated so they contain evermore THHC, 456 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: while an organic cannabis plant produces flowers with about four 457 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: percent THC. The items and most dispensaries today range from 458 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: ten to ninety eight percent than the eight percent your 459 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: head explode. I don't know enough about it. Just yeah, 460 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: but it doesn't it seem like the average is like 461 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: ten or fourteen percent, and then you're taking something that's 462 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: ninety eight percent that that's going to be bad. I 463 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: don't think your head will explode, you know what. I'll 464 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: just say this real quick. I took an edible a 465 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: few months ago just to help me relax and sleep. 466 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: And before that, I had a cocktail, which I had 467 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: I hardly ever drank. And you know, I've never smoked pot, 468 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: I've never taken drugs, but I have taken an edible. 469 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: So I had a little bit of a drink at 470 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: a restaurant, came home and had an edible and I 471 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: literally passed out, banged my head. It was very scary. 472 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: Oh wow, you're seeing knocked out on the floor. Yes, 473 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: for a few for I don't know, too many seconds. 474 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: And I remember when I came to I said to 475 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: my husband, oh my god, oh my god, you have 476 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: to call nine one one. I felt like I was 477 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: gave you another edible. Shut her up. It was scary. 478 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: Did you call the hospital? No? No, because then I 479 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: was okay. So he just carried you to bed. Yeah, seriously, 480 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: that's what he did. Give you another drink. He happens 481 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: to love me, Thank you very much, at least that's 482 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,239 Speaker 1: what he tells me.

Come on, buy, 495 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: get free lunch. Lunch at the library keeps children nourished. Wow, yeah, 496 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: like children are going to show up. We started this 497 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: thing with free breakfast, free dinner, free lunch. Fantastic. Eventually 498 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: we have to take care of everything in everyone's life, 499 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: their rent, everything, childcare. Yeah, yeah, I have to pay. 500 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: There's twelve million job openings. Why do we why do 501 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: we have to pay for anybody? I was talking with 502 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: somebody today, In fact, two people in the last twenty 503 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: four hours who are helped run a business, two widely 504 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,719 Speaker 1: different businesses. Both of them said they can't get workers. Okay. 505 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: One of them runs a restaurant, a lunch style place, 506 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: the other one works in a veterinary clinic. Both of 507 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: them said, can't find anybody, and if people agree to 508 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: come in for an interview, they don't show. They just 509 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: blow you off. That neither one of them had ever 510 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: seen anything like it in their lives. They've both been 511 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: working for decades in these businesses, and they said something 512 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: about this period. There's nobody available who wants to work, 513 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: and the few people who interview don't show up for 514 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: the interview. Too much money why we have high inflation. 515 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: There's just too much stimulus money, money just running around. 516 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: You know what, if you got twelve million job openings 517 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: in this kind of behavior, I would shut down all 518 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: the government welfare programs for a month. See what happens 519 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: part art, shut everything down. I don't know what's going on. 520 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: It can't. They can't be all living off crypto. I mean, 521 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: if you're if you're looking for a Hamburger job, you're not. 522 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: And TikTok revenue, I don't know, I don't know. I 523 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: don't know how much. You know, they publicize the big 524 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: hits like anything else, but there's a billion people on TikTok. 525 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: They're not all making a fortune. It's you don't have 526 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: to make a fortune just to decide you're getting by. 527 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: I call them the scrapers. I actually adopted that term 528 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: many scrapers ago. Yes, scrapers, And it's a combination of 529 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: a grifter or someone who just wants to just get by, right, 530 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: and they do what they have to do. You know, 531 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: they're protected now by these non eviction laws, so they're 532 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,479 Speaker 1: not paying the rent right, they're getting away with that. 533 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: They've been getting away with that for a couple of years. 534 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, is I don't just don't see 535 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: any economists or news organizations trying to figure this out. 536 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm really curious because this goes against everything I feel 537 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 1: in my bones about working. Yeah, this is a complete 538 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: upheaval of what's the norm. And did just simply not 539 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: show up, not even try to look for work. It's 540 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: like you got to be living on something. We'll be 541 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: beaten up on Joe Biden later in the show, but 542 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: here's one for his side, John, what's the rule? Wait 543 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: three days? Wait three days days? I jumped the gun yesterday? 544 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: We both did. I thought you jumped the gun yesterday 545 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: and the day before. They have arrested a man in 546 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: Ohio on charges of raping a ten year old girl. 547 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden mentioned this story in a big speech in 548 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: Ohio on Friday. Over the weekend, media outlets, including The 549 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: Washington Post not exactly concerned. Revative media raised questions about 550 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: the story because again allegedly, she had to travel to 551 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: Indiana for an abortion because of Ohio's restrictive laws. There 552 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: was only one source, an abortion doctor who told the story. 553 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: So there was a lot of skepticism, right, who didn't 554 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: treat the girl? Who did not treat And you know, 555 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: I am highly skeptical of all activists sourced stories any 556 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,959 Speaker 1: hot button cultural issue where there's an activist who is 557 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: promoting for the story, I stopped and she should have 558 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: stopped for another day on this one. Yeah, it appears 559 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: to be a true story. A detective has testified that 560 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: Columbus police learned about the girl's pregnancy through a referral 561 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: that was made by her mother on June twenty second. 562 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: She had an abortion in Indianapolis on June thirtieth. They 563 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: have arrested. And here it is an illegal alien for 564 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: her race. That flips the story. And you're right. An 565 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: Indianapolis physician who provide abortion services, doctor Caitlin Bernard, told 566 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Star the story. But you're right, she did 567 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: not actually perform the abortion. Joe Biden didn't know it 568 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: was true. He just read the story in the papers. 569 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: Nobody knew it was true. The Ohio Attorney General. That's 570 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: what led me to believe that it might have been 571 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: a hoax, because the Ohio Attorney General went on TV 572 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: yesterday and said, there isn't anybody I own law enforcement 573 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: who's heard the slightest whisper about a case. At the 574 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: Republican Ohio Attorney he Goes. Dave Yo said that he goes, 575 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: I gotta believe that, you know, somebody in law enforcement 576 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: or in medicine would would be talking about this because 577 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: it's a mandatory reporting incident. You have to report it 578 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: if you hear about it. Well, apparently they didn't reach 579 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: out to people in Franklin County because that's where the 580 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: case is coming from and where the arrest was made. 581 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: So I don't know. A detective said that the Franklin 582 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: County Children's Services got the report from the mother on 583 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: June twenty second, and then reported she had the abortion 584 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: on June thirtieth, indeed in Indiana. But I don't know 585 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: why the Republican Ohio Attorney couldn't have found that out 586 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: or nobody told that weeks ago, because anybody who said 587 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: it was happening outside of maybe that doctor. Because I 588 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: know politicians were jumping on this immediate people. None of 589 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: them knew this was just a story that was somebody published, 590 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: so it was automatically believed, but there wasn't any evidence 591 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: at all. Now I'm reading this story. What's the source 592 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: of this? It is the Associated Press. It does say 593 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: at the end a twenty seven year old man has 594 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: confessed to raping the girl, but they don't mention he's 595 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: an illegal alien. I found that in another story. Oh no, 596 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,320 Speaker 1: he saisially and pressed doesn't do that anymore. They wouldn't 597 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: even say in the country without authorization that we're in 598 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,919 Speaker 1: the suppression era. You don't give it any identifying characteristics 599 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: if it would lead to it in some way then 600 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: being stigmatized. And you do not get news from news 601 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: sources anymore, which is why I'm so hyper skeptical, and 602 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: I will remain hyper skeptical. I'll just stay skeptical for 603 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: an extra day or two. Now, all right, let me 604 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: come back. Our guests will be a man by the 605 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: name of Matt Schrapp. He's CEO of the Harbor Trucking Association. 606 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: You may have heard that there were some trucker yours 607 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: expressing displeasure today on the one ten freeway.

And 611 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: we'll talk about why this is upsetting the trucking industry. 612 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: Next and Johnny Ken Show.
