Now, Ray, you could go to Ray. Ray 48 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: doesn't really, she's not lazy, thank you. I'm not. There'll 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: be something coming your way soon, I'm sure. Anyway, I 50 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: put it in there Saturday morning and by Saturday night 51 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: they'd already counted. It was that too suspicious. I remember 52 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: with the presidential election in twenty twenty, it took a 53 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: while for me to get notification. They received it and 54 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: then they tabulated it. But then I thought, you got 55 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: to remember, a lot, a lot fewer people will be 56 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: voting in the June seventh primary. I know because we 57 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: talk about on the show and we have a voter 58 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: guide and a lot of our listeners vote. But in 59 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 1: the general population, it's it's not a big rap, that's 60 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: not I was looking at a chart of elections, presidential 61 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: elections versus I think it was the state of California too. 62 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: Congressional seats versus um the off years, you know, like 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: they want to coming up now twenty twenty two, and 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: then there was twenty eighteen, significantly less number voters. People 65 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: are just sub jacked up by a presidential election. They 66 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: show up, Yeah, and it has it has the least, 67 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: it has the least effect on our lives, right, the least. 68 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: And so you get a lot of fanatics who go 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: voting like union people, and they vote all for all 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: these progressive a holes, and then you wonder why you 71 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: have seventy thousand people dying in the street and mountains 72 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: of garbage and criminals running amuck because just the progressive 73 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: fanatics vote and everybody goes, I don't know you, I'm 74 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: watching Netflix. So too hard for them. Yeah. So, but 75 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: the good thing here is our governor's races doesn't coincide 76 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: with the presidential This is this year, twenty two. This 77 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: is a mid term election. So same thing for the 78 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: mayor of LA And that's finally even moved to November. 79 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: This was the best story, hands down of the weekend, 80 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: under the category of people are starting to fight back, 81 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: And there's actually two stories, but the one getting more 82 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: attention and for obvious reasons. There's a video. Everybody loves 83 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: a video. It's the attempted jewelry store robbery and Huntington Beach. 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: Have you watched the video, John, It is fantastic. You 85 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: should watch it if you get a chance. Four suspects 86 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: walk into a store, and of course they're like head 87 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: to toe and hoodies and sweatshirts and all dark clothing, right, 88 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: the typical. They've all got sledgehammers, right, they had, right 89 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: for the jewelry case. And then out of nowhere comes 90 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: everybody that works there, fighting them in every way they can, 91 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: including apparently one woman who grabs a stool like with 92 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: the big metal bottom and she hits the guys with it, 93 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: and they just start throwing things at them, and they ran. 94 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: The suspects ran, and they got nothing. What you gotta do, Well, 95 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: had a gun, this could have been Well, then that's good. 96 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: That's what they should do. You should do. Yeah, you 97 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: got to defend yourself gun hammer or whatever. No, I 98 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: meant if the robbers had a gun away, you know, 99 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: shot these. I think it's time to go to war. 100 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: And wow, that's what I'm thinking too. Maybe the good, 101 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to You can't just stand by 102 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: and put up with this. I mean, this was in 103 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: the middle of the day yesterday. It's not like they 104 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: did this when the store was closed. This was the 105 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: Princess Bridge Diamonds Jewelry store at the Bella Terra shopping 106 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: mall in Huntington's Beach. And uh, this one woman just 107 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: starts kicking the guy on the ground. It was fantastic 108 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: pushing them out the door and they gave up, which 109 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: tells me they look like they're probably young, and maybe 110 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: they're just copying something they saw other people do. Because 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: but in the end it says in the story they 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: didn't get anything. Well, I'm watching it now. No, it's great. 113 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: Oh this is great. Oh oh I like the woman 114 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: kicking the crap out of that guy. Yeah, stool yet 115 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: with the chair, yeah yeah, yeah, Oh that's beautiful. She 116 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: bashes one guy with it. Apparently the male involved in 117 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: fighting back did get hit with one of the hammers. 118 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: He said in his cheek. All right, he starts taking 119 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: piece like him the boxing ring. He starts throwing punches. 120 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: That is I'm gonna watch it all over again. I 121 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: hate to sit through a woke sunglasses commercial. First, Oh, oh, okay, 122 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: good smash by the robbers to open things up. Yeah. 123 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: The other story comes from Walnut where a homeowner got 124 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: broken in. Because these are the big things going on, 125 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: people breaking into people's homes, and people try and smash 126 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: and grabs, especially at jewelry stores. That one makes sense 127 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: because if you want to get as much as you 128 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: can expense wise, as quickly as possible. Yeah, smashing jewelry 129 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: cases and grabbing everything you can, you can get quite 130 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: a haul. This four am, apparently the family began hearing 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: footsteps inside their home, and when they went to check 132 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: on the noise, boys, the male homeowner was confronted by 133 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: a man armed with a handgun, but the homeowner had 134 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: one two so shooting broke out and the suspected burglar 135 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: gunshot wounds to his upper stomach. He was pronounced dead 136 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: at the scene. Second intruder fled. The people that live 137 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: in the house in their twenties uninjured. It says here 138 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: unclear whether the homeowner had his own gun. Okay, where 139 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: did he get get the gun then to shoot the intruder? 140 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, whether he owned it 141 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: or not. Yeah, it just says unclear whether the homeowner 142 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: had his own gun. Oh so they don't know if 143 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: he owned it, right, Yeah, I got it. I don't know. 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: It makes no sense to me. You can't get here. 145 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: In response, city officials said, crime rights in the enclave 146 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: in eastern Los Angeles County are low compared to neighboring cities. 147 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,239 Speaker 1: This is uncommon in our city. In the Walnut sheriff 148 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: station will be utilizing all their resources to investigate the 149 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: matter because the other attack or a home in Vader 150 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: got away, but he killed one. So there you go. 151 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: You take the little things, right, You take some people 152 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: fighting back in a jewelry store, and you take a 153 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: homeowner in Walnuts. Now that's grew you and shooting the 154 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: robbers the jewelry store. I wonder if they'd rehearse that 155 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: because all those workers went into an aggressive position immediately. Yeah. 156 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: I saw the two of them were women, and I've 157 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: got to think that they rehearse this because they know 158 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: that they would be uh, they were going to be next. 159 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: Eventually their store would be would be bashed in. Right, 160 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: that makes sense. I saw him interviewed, I think it 161 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: was by Channel five, and he said something to the 162 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: effect of just adrenaline kicked in and I just found 163 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: myself I gotta do something. I can't just let this happen. 164 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: And he's the first one to run out there and 165 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: start punching with the guy, but they all did, and 166 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: they were also aggressed. I think the other two followed 167 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: him and said, well, we got to help him. I 168 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, I just wonder. I wonder if they 169 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: talked to me, we should get one, we should get 170 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: one of him on the air, I tried. I told 171 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: ray to I wanted the woman who was wail it 172 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: away and getting Oh yeah, I saw her kicking the 173 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: guy after he was down. That was good. I enjoyed that. 174 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: And they don't have a knife or a gun though. 175 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: That's the only thing that would make me a little 176 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: hesitant to go running. Yeah, you know what you got, 177 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: you just we just gotta we gotta fight back, because 178 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: you know, the the the all the politicians have failed us, 179 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: the police have failed us. So what are you gonna do. 180 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: Just let him take the stuff. And that's the thing. 181 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: All they talk about is gun control, and they want 182 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: to get guns out of people's hands. You're seeing people 183 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: buy more guns because of this because you're allowing the 184 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: criminal justice system to crumble, so they feel like they're 185 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: on their own. Oh, gun sales, I saw a whole thing. 186 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: Over the last twenty years. Gun sales have exploded and 187 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: stayed very high now for twenty years. So the gun 188 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: control thing, that's a dead issue that should never be 189 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: discussed again. It's gone exactly in the reverse now to 190 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: four hundred million guns in the country. Yeah, gun production 191 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: took off in the US, record number first time buyers. 192 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: And and you know what, the good guys aren't killing anybody, 193 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: all right. Most of the murders are same old bad guys. 194 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: So their stupid argument is bologny. It's nonsense, and it's 195 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: unworkable anyway, unworkable, unenforceable. So if you're a good guy, yeah, 196 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: arm yourself, go crazy, all right. When we come back 197 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: related to this, you'll see Rick Caruso picked up another 198 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: endorsement in his run for mayor. Coming up next, John 199 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: and Ken Kfi. You know, one of the problems that 200 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: the Biden handlers have when he travels, which is rare, 201 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: and he's now in an overseas trip. As you know, 202 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: he has been in several countries including South Korea. Now 203 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: he's in Japan and he was at some press conference 204 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: meeting with the Prime minister, and of course he's followed 205 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: by reporters, so they don't care about Japan and US. 206 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: You know, there was a question obviously we'll get too 207 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: later about Taiwan, but I guess someone asked him about 208 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: gas prices, and this is what he said today. When 209 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an 210 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: incredible transition that is taking place, God willing, when it's over, 211 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: will be stronger and the world will be stronger and 212 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over. They're 213 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: doing it on purpose. That's yeah, they're doing that. They're 214 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: doing this on purpose. Well, they certainly like it. He's well, 215 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: I mean, because they've cut so so much future oil supply, 216 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: so that's going to keep the prices high, you know, 217 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future until we get a different president. 218 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: And well, they're going to find out that's what's going 219 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 1: to happen. If they think this is the tonic that 220 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: the country needs to go electric or go some other 221 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: means of transportation, they're gonna be very sorry, come to remember, 222 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: because this is one of the top issues for people's inflation, 223 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: like gas products. They're getting their asses kicked out of 224 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: office because nobody wants this. Most people don't want an 225 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: electric car. Why would they commit suicide? I don't know. 226 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: Why does anyone commit suicide? I mean it happens all 227 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: the time, like themselves over climate change. Yeah, exactly, all right. 228 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: He got a guy willing to set himself on fire 229 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: and die for climate change. So these people are fanatics. 230 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: It is it is group think. It is mass hysteria. 231 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: These people have can convinced themselves that we're we're all 232 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: gonna die, We're gonna boil ourselves in the atmosphere. You 233 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: can't deal with mass hysteria. And they will maybe fifty 234 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: hundred years from now, write a book on this era. 235 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: And the and and the title of the book ought 236 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: to be mass hysteria. There have been so many examples 237 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: of it. It's it's contagious too. And uh, we're just 238 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: gonna ride this until November, and we'll see if there's 239 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: a we get the other party in power, you get 240 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: the Republicans in power. If that doesn't shake up Biden 241 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: and as stooges, especially as stooges because they're running things, 242 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: and if not, then we're gonna have two more years 243 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: of this crap until until we completely clean out the colon. 244 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: But are these are bad policies? You know a lot 245 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: of this stuff going on are just bad, failed policies. 246 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: It's been proven they're bad, and it's no longer debatable. 247 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: You got to you gotta dramatically increase the supply gas 248 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: and oil. Period. We're gonna have to keep debating it 249 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: if you keep these people in power, because that's all 250 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna get, just like we have here in California. 251 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: They want to turn the US into the California Way. 252 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: I'm talking about that. No nobody wants to pay this money. No, no, 253 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 1: nobody does. It's like nobody. Nobody wants criminals running am mock. 254 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: Nobody wants seventy thousand homeless people dine in the streets. 255 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: Nobody wants this. There's no constituency. A CBS you Gov 256 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: poll over the weekend, a lot of people did not 257 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: feel that the country's in a good place right now, 258 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: and fifty seven percent said that Biden is distracted. Fifty 259 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: one percent called him incompetent. Tis a competent president would 260 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: turn on all the spigots he could find and build 261 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: pipelines and give out drilling licenses oil extraction permits. He 262 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: would he would do whatever he can to get as 263 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: much gas and oil to the market as quickly as possible, 264 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: and in a year or two things would be dramatically different. 265 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: But he is incompetent. He's because because that isn't. Entire 266 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: cabinet is filled with true believing religious fanatics. Look at 267 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: what people who are devout believers in various religions. Look 268 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: what they do, Look what they wear, look at the 269 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: stories they believe in, look at their behavior at times 270 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: if you look at it objectively and not get consumed 271 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: by the fear of well, we really can't say we 272 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: can't make fun of anyone who's religious. We can't judge them. 273 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: It's like, judge them for a minute, actually look at 274 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: them objectively, how they behave, and a lot of it's nuts, 275 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: just flat out nuts. Well, we have religious people now 276 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: running this government and they believe that we're harming Mother Earth. 277 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: Sixty five percent believe that Biden is slow to react 278 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: to important issues and events that arise, and that even 279 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: included almost forty percent of Democrats who said he is, 280 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: and sometimes he doesn't react at all. He just lets 281 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: things happen. I mean, this inflation has been a slow 282 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: moving disaster for a year and a half. He hasn't 283 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: done anything. Everything he's done made it, has made it worse. Well, 284 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: if gas is like six fifty a gallon, any other 285 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: president we've ever had would immediately make every decision to 286 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: increase the supply. Instead, he calls up Saudi Arabia. He 287 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: was trying to get Saudi Arabia to increase the supply, 288 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: and they won't pick up the phone. They literally wouldn't 289 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: answer the phone for him. So, if you're calling Saudi 290 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: Arabia to increase their supply, why wouldn't you increase your 291 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: own supply. It all goes into the same atmosphere. He's 292 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: a stooge. It it's like it's like you suddenly decided 293 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: in your house you weren't going to go and buy 294 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: food anymore, but you were going to call the neighbor 295 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: and ask them to bring over their food every day. 296 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Go buy your own food. Let's 297 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: produce our own gas and oil. We have it. I 298 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: just I'm it's flat or gasting. How bad he is 299 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: The whole lot of them. Meanwhile, there is allegedly, and 300 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: they call themselves the Bipartisan Problem Solver's Caucus. This is 301 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: Sacramento legislators. They're supposedly Republicans and Democrats who have been 302 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: meeting to come up with some solution for people who 303 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: have to use gasoline. I don't know how many Democrats 304 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: there are. They're supposed to make an announcement this week, 305 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: but allegedly this bill will once again attempt to suspend 306 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: the gas tax. Now they have some Democrats on board, 307 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: but I don't I don't know that they have enough 308 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: to according the lead author is a Democrat named Adam 309 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: Gray of mur said. He said that the way they 310 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: wrote the bill would require oil companies to pass savings 311 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: from the gas tax on to consumer, while companies passed 312 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: the gas tax savings. That's a completely made up myth. 313 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: That is just complete nonsense. They already had gas taxes 314 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: reduced in other states and they all companies have passed 315 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: it along. They're not going to keep gas tax money. Well, 316 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: we know they pass along the increases. That's we know 317 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: from that climate bill they passed a few years ago. 318 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: We because that's why California as close to the reason 319 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: the California has over a dollar more. They're not gonna 320 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: They're not gonna pay a ridiculous, unfair tax. Of course 321 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: they're not. I would do that too, I would pass it, 322 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: pass it down. Why why should Why should I take 323 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: a hit because the people elect these these looney bins. 324 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: If the people elect looney bins who are compulsively raising taxes, 325 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: then let the people pay the taxes. Why should the 326 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 1: corporations have to pay? They don't trust executives to pass Now, 327 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: I trust the oil executives more than I trust Newsom 328 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: in the Democratic legislature. Yes, so if they knock off 329 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: fifty something sents a gallon, because that's the California gas tax, 330 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: you think the old companies will say, okay, we'll stay fair, 331 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: but drop all the prices. Fifty cents, but we'll see it. 332 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: That's the thing. They can't drop it like twenty cents 333 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: and say we're still seeing rising prices. We're sorry, No, 334 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 1: it doesn't make up all the difference. They can't. They 335 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: can't because the world oil prices are a public we 336 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: know exactly how much it's going for for for a 337 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: gallon of gas anyway, But There's always been a mystery 338 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: because they don't always connect directly to what we plucked. 339 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: The pump seems. Look, the low tax states are a 340 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: buck fifty less than we are, So why aren't the 341 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: oil companies charging an extra dollar dollar fifty in the 342 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: other forty nine states. They're not. They're only charging it 343 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: here because that happens to be our extra tax. Otherwise 344 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: we'd be paying four fifty or four seventy, whatever it 345 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: is now. So it's a difference between us and the 346 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: other forty nine states. It's because of our taxes. It's 347 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: not because of the oil companies. The oil companies might 348 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: be padding to get you to four fifty, but they're 349 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: not padding to get you to six. The padding to 350 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: get you to six comes from Newsom in the Democratic legislature. 351 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: So if they cut it off, it should go back 352 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: to four fifty like all the other states. All Right, 353 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: we got more coming up, John and ken Kfi. I 354 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: just saw that Biden story that we were talking about. 355 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: I just read the first report just came over within 356 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: the last hour. Holy crap. I had never ever Well, 357 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: they dug out the audio if you want to hear it. Yeah, 358 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: I think everybody should hear this, because I think this 359 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: is going to be a turning point. I think it's 360 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a big turning point here because they're admitting. 361 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: He's admitting that they're his policies are forcing the press 362 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: transition and they're they're doing it on purpose. But we 363 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: have nothing to transition too. Okay, there's no electrical grid 364 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: for us to switch our electric cars to. We're just 365 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: going to pay a lot in gas money for years 366 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: and years and years. There's nowhere to plug the fing 367 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: car too. And you know what the average electric car costs, 368 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: It's like like sixty two thousand dollars. I mean, I 369 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: mean that this is crazy. They're forcing it. They're forcing 370 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: us into something that does not perform as well as 371 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: a gas powered car, is much more expensive, and there's 372 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: nowhere to charge the cars. Don't forget it was a 373 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: great article we read last week on the topic, and 374 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: that's basically that electric cars actually do use a lot 375 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: of elements that are pressure and sixty one of the 376 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: electric car, whatever you want to call it, propulsion comes 377 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: from fossil fuels. Yes, because of they'mber to keep in mind, 378 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: you have to feed a goal a goal, coal and 379 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: natural gas into the electric generating plant to create the electricity. 380 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: Where was this idea that electric was clean. You can't 381 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: create electricity in the real world, right now. Get some 382 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: of it from hydropower or water, but small amounts. But 383 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: we don't have a large network of hydropower or wind 384 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: or solar. It's totally made up. They're just because everyone 385 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: drives around and if they have a gas car, that's 386 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: just putting the carbon into the atmosphere directly. But you're right, 387 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: before the electric car travels around, there was carbon use 388 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: it make it. It's the same carbon though it's carbon 389 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: at the front end or carbon at the back end. Well, 390 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: they've accepted your gas car is one hundred percent fossil fuel, 391 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: so right, But one hundred percent of the electricity in 392 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: most areas or close to it, sixty comes from maybe 393 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 1: maybe in uh maybe in California. We're the only ones 394 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: with electric cars anyway. Yeah, and it's a tiny percentage. 395 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: It's not really catching on with the rest of the country. 396 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: Most of the rounds of time in United State, Wall 397 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: Street Journal says most electric vehicles can't can't go more 398 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: than two hundred and fifty miles on a charge and 399 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: less in cold weather, drivers worry for good reason that 400 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: they'll run out of juice on the road, And he 401 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: writes about the public charging stations. There's more. There's more 402 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: public charging stations in California's Bay Area, but a recent 403 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: study found that less less than three quarters of the 404 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: charging stations worked. In many cases, the plug screens or 405 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: payment systems were broken, or the connector cables weren't long 406 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: enough to reach the car's port. Imagine if twenty five 407 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: percent of the nation's gas stations weren't working and drivers 408 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: didn't know until they got out of the car whether 409 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: they'd be able to fill up. So there's hardly any 410 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: charging stations the one they have. The ones they have, 411 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: which is mostly in the Bay Area, three quarters of them, 412 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: only three quarters, less than three quarters work. God, I 413 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: mean this is bad from beginning to end. Well, this 414 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: is Biden today in Japan. I don't know if we 415 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: have the question here too, but it's about the gas prices. 416 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: You know, he's in Japan on this Asian trip to 417 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: talk about more international things, but the reporters who follow 418 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: them know what's on the minds of people here. It's inflation, 419 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: especially gas prices. So here we go. And when it 420 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible 421 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: transition that is taking place that God willing, when it's over, 422 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: will be stronger and the world will be stronger and 423 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: less relying on fossil fuels when this is over. See 424 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: what Europe is doing relatively importation of Russian gas. You 425 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: see anyway, I won't go through it all, but and 426 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: what I've been able to do to keep it from 427 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: getting even worse. And it's bad. The price of gas 428 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: at the pump is something that I told you heard 429 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: me say before, would be a matter of great discussion 430 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: at my kitchen table when I was kid growing up. 431 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: It's affecting a lot of families. But we have released 432 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: over two hundred and I think fifty seven million barrels 433 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: of oil. I should say us and the rest of 434 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: the world. We're convinced to get involved. It's help, but 435 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: it's not been enough. He's barely alive. Wall Street Journal 436 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: says electric cars are still, on average thirty five percent 437 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: more expensive than gas powered cars, and the price disparity 438 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: is likely to increase as the band for critical minerals grows. 439 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: That's going to be the tough part that article we 440 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: read last week, which by the way, is in Forbes 441 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: dot Com, said that it's gonna if everybody was to 442 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: drive an electric car, we don't have the minerals on 443 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 1: earth is to support that. You need minerals. You need 444 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: minerals like cobalt, nickel, copper, lithium. Just last week, the 445 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: government canceled the leases of Twin Metals Minnesota. That's a 446 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: company to mine for cobalt, nickel, and copper. Currently there's 447 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: only one operating mine in the whole United States that 448 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: produces nickel one Even though the country has large reserves 449 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: of lithium, there is only one big operating lithium mining project, 450 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: which is the Silver Peak Mine in Nevada. So what 451 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: you have here, first of all, as a product that's 452 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: far more expensive than gas powered cars, far less range. 453 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: It uses an enormous amount of electricity, It uses an 454 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: enormous amount of minerals. The minerals are not available in 455 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: this country. China has cornered the market on several and 456 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: that's going to go well, right if Chinese is in 457 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: charge of whether we have enough minerals to build and 458 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: power or the electric vehicles they're trying automakers are trying 459 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: to get a bill through Congress that would provide twelve thousand, 460 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars in tax credits for electric cars made 461 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: at Union auto plants in the US. So that's what 462 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: they need. They need the government to pay everybody twelve thousand, 463 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars in order to come closer to affording 464 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: these cars. Well, that's this whole, This whole ideas just crackers. 465 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: It gets nuts. There's a story from a few days ago. 466 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: Tesla is asking its owner it's to limit charging during 467 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: Texas heat wave. Yeah, it's going to happen in California too. Yeah. 468 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: The Electric Reliability Council of Texas announced last week that 469 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: six of its power generation facilities went offline following a 470 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: high demand for power amid a heat wave during the 471 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: out as. These six stations would produce enough electricity powers 472 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: some more than half a million homes. And by the way, 473 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: Tesla's now headquartered in Texas. By the way, at least 474 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: we know now he's admitted it. They did this on 475 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: purpose to force us into electric cars. He's no longer 476 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: blaming Putin, He's no longer blaming the oil companies. He 477 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: pretty much stuck his hand up and said, yeah, I 478 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: did this. I did this, and here is by reason. 479 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: So this is what we have. This is the guy 480 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: we have running things, old, senile, foolish, and he's costing 481 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: you six to fifty a gallon. Here in California, Joe 482 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: heard this morning that only uh it's not was disappointing. 483 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: There was a low percentage I think it was in 484 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: the thirties of people that are thinking or planning on 485 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: getting electric car compared to like Europe or the number 486 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: it was like sevent They were disappointed. Americans are not 487 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: turned on by it. No again again, if I had 488 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: an electric car right here and it was Lolan juice. 489 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: Here in Burbank, where am I going to go? There's 490 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: a charger in the garage there the first floor. Where 491 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: is a charger? Oh? Yeah, there is. It's just to 492 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: the right where you come in. I never noticed it. 493 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I don't have to pay or not. 494 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: I think you have to pay now? And how many 495 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: hours does it take the charge of car? Well, you're 496 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 1: there at the station for four or five hours, right, 497 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: so get you something to get home? Right? All right? 498 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 1: We have what sounds like a good life. Johnny cant cafi. 499 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: All right, coming up after the news at three o'clock, 500 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: will be talking to Alex Stone, ABC News for KFI. 501 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: Today would have been the day that the Biden illustration 502 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: would have ended Title forty two. That's the public Health 503 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: order that was enacted when Trump was president to turn 504 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: migrants immediately back at the border because of COVID nineteen 505 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: May twenty thirds a day they picked. They can't do 506 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: that because the judge won't let him. A federal judge 507 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: is blocking that move. Department of Justice is appealing, but 508 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: nothing has been settled there yet, so they cannot end 509 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: Title forty two. And Alex was in Arizona. He got 510 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: a real close look at the border patrol people deal with. 511 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 1: He's got a pretty good in depth report coming our 512 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: way after the news at three o'clock. Hey, somebody that 513 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: we had on the show it was running for La 514 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: Mayor has dropped out of the race. I don't know 515 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: who ramt Varma remember him? Oh yes, he was seen 516 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: a few billboards that he's put up, but he dropped out. 517 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: He's endorsing Rick Caruso too. So uh, these these uh, 518 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: these long shots, um, they all have the same problem. 519 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: Nobody knows who they are, yes, and and it's it's 520 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: the same story over and over again. I somebody seriously 521 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: wants to get into politics, You've got to spend a 522 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: few years somehow getting the world to know your name, 523 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: to identify your name, your face, and encourage people to 524 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: step up and run for office. No, not like that. 525 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: You said people have to fight back. No, you can't 526 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: do it stupidly. You can't just run into a brick. 527 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: How are we going to topple this power structure? They 528 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: have all the names you have. You have to do 529 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: something to make yourself a name. Yeah, well, well Trump 530 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: did it. I mean, you know, Caruso would be careful 531 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: because there's a few of these running for La City Council. 532 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: They might win and they're like wow, they're they're communists. 533 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: They're like, well, socialist democrats, normal, normal people can get 534 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: a following. But you have to spend a lot of time. 535 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: You have to figure out how to raise money. The campaign. 536 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: Donors aren't going to throw money at random Joe just 537 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: because it's it's really cool that an average person wants 538 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: to win. You have to win. It's like being an athlete. 539 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: You know, you have to go through years worth of training. 540 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: You have to You have to learn how to hit 541 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: a baseball or the tennis ball or throw a football. 542 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: You can't just walk in off the street because it's cool. 543 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: Same thing in politics, the same thing to get on 544 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: radio and television is and you've seen when sometimes politicians 545 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: get talk shows, they're terrible because they have no training 546 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: for it. And also talk show hosts don't do well 547 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: usually running as a politician because they don't have the 548 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: training for it. I mean, that's that's the lesson that 549 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: I want these guys to win. But the rest of 550 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: the public is not paying attention. I'm paying attention. You're 551 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: paying attention, but everybody else is not. And that's that's 552 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: the issue. It's like, you got to have a plan. 553 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe five years in advance. Yeah, I 554 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: don't think a lot of people he actually knew Rick Caruso, 555 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: but he had enough money. He had the money and 556 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: he's accomplished stuff, which you immediately people hear about the grove, 557 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, yeah, that's the guy behind the grove. 558 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: All right, that's something I know. I've been there. Every 559 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: voter in LA knows the grove. Clarence Avant, whose wife, 560 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: Jacquelin Devant, was murdered in the home invasion in December 561 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills, remember that story. He has come out 562 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: today or over the weekend and endorsed Rick Caruso for mayor. 563 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: This is a man that was the subject of a 564 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: documentary he's in the music industry called the Black Godfather, 565 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: and apparently was celebrated in that documentary by people like 566 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: Barack Obama and Quincy Jones. So you gotta believe that 567 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: Another reason he's doing this is that he realizes firsthand, sadly, 568 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: what's happening with crime in the city of la and 569 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: he's decided that he thinks Rick Caruso can make a 570 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,719 Speaker 1: difference because again, you know, just because this is how 571 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: the El Segundo Times covers everything, he's black. He could 572 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: have picked Karen Bass, right because you know she's done 573 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: the first black woman mayor of Los Angeles and wouldn't 574 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: that be something, right, um, But instead he has chosen 575 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: to endorse him. I mean, he's ninety one, so I 576 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: don't think he's campaigning. Maybe he's gonna no, but his 577 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: name is powerful in this because he's part of the 578 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: music Hollywood industry. He's part of a wealthy demographic which 579 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: usually votes very liberal. I mean his demographic of you know, 580 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: wealthy Hollywood type people. Entertainment people have voted for these 581 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: loons now for generations. That's usually when you get any 582 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: entertainment industry. And now and now this, this is what happened. 583 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: Now you've unleashed all these bad people who ought to 584 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: be in jail, and they're out on streets. And where 585 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: are they going. They're going into their rich neighborhoods. They're 586 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: killing in the rich neighborhoods. They're robbing and looting in 587 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: the rich neighborhoods. Okay, And that's because of the decisions 588 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: made by the people that this crowd of elitists have 589 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: voted for without exception for decades. And now you hit 590 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: a tipping point in life. You've voted for enough progressive 591 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: whack jobs. They let out enough criminals by the tens 592 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: of thousands. One of them now comes into the house. 593 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: It's really sad, it's awful. Yeah, But what's happened over 594 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: the last eleven years in this state, beginning with the 595 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: first bill ab one O nine, which was a way 596 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: of throwing the prisoners, the state inmates back to the 597 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: local counties and making them responsible for anymore crimes they commit. 598 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: And that was just dude, ten days of flash incarceration. 599 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: That's what started all this. Imagine we roll back time 600 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: about ten years or show, and we say, Okay, in 601 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: the next ten years, we're going to release sixty state 602 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: prisoners fellas many of them violent, right, and we're gonna 603 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: get rid of bail entirely, and we're going to get 604 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: rid of parole violations. You no longer spend more than 605 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: ten days for parole violation, which basically you're getting rid 606 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: of them, right. So there there's no bail, We're no 607 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: long going to prosecute misdemeanors. There's gonna be no jail 608 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: for misdemeanors even if you are prosecuted. What do you 609 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: think is going to happen to the city, Like, let's 610 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: go back to twenty ten. Let's see a thought experiment. 611 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: What do you think's going to happen if we let 612 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: out sixty thousand prisoners, We start closing prisons, we start 613 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: no bail, no prosecution, the whole, the whole routine, no enhancements, no, 614 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: no enhancements. When you do kill somebody, so you can 615 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: get out and getting enhancements. No gun enhancements. Okay, imagine 616 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: we put all that in plain English on the ballot. 617 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: A lot of this was on the ballot, but it 618 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: was covered up with with fake happy talk. Right man, 619 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: you put that in plain English, and just the question, 620 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: after we do this for ten years, what do you 621 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: think life is going to be like? Well, there, there 622 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: you go, this is what it's like.

You can instantly turn them back 628 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: at the border because of a health order or Title 629 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: forty two, but instead of federal judges not letting that happen, 630 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: Alex will give us he was there in Arizona observing 631 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: what's going on.
