I'm going 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: to take our story right now to West Hollywood, where 25 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: defund the police became reduced. The LA County Sheriff's deputy patrol. 26 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: West Hollywood does not have its own police force. They 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: have a contract with the LA County Sheriff's Department and 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: what they decided to do is cut back on the 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: number of deputies patrolling West Hollywood and instead replace them 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: with ambassadors. Well, some residents don't think that's going too well. 31 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: And the big story today is that a popular West 32 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: Hollywood restaurant has decided that Knights of the City Council 33 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 2: is meeting that they are going to close the restaurant 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: and take everybody, the owner of the employees to the 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: meeting to demand more safety. So we're going to get 36 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: the full story now from Blake Trolley KFI News about 37 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: this restaurant. 38 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 3: Blake, Yeah, Ken, So the owner of Labohem Restaurants that 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: enough is enough and what appears to be a move 40 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: out of desperation. As you mentioned, he closed his restaurant 41 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: last night, brought his staff to the West Hollywood City 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 3: Council meeting. Many of whom spoke to call for the 43 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: city to increase safety measures. He criticized that move to 44 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: reduce deputies. That move has since been reversed. It was 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: only reversed last month, though, so it's hard to say 46 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: if anything at this time has changed or you know, 47 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: what kind of reductions in crime have happened since. The restaurant, however, 48 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 3: says it could close down from lost business because of 49 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: all of the issues around crime and safety. The restaurant 50 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 3: says customers staff don't feel safe the restaurant. I mean, 51 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: just to go through some of the things this restaurant 52 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: has been through. The restaurant was right next to an 53 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: armed robbery in April, where a group of armed people 54 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 3: held up three other people. One of those armed people 55 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 3: was thought to be armed with an AK. Forty seven 56 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: homeless people I've been walking into this upscale restaurant's patio. 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: The owner says, this place is getting vandalized. In fact, 58 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: it's been vandalized five times since April. So you have 59 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: that heavily armed robbery than five vandalisms. It sounds like 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: at least some of this damage could be from homeless 61 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: people in the area. Based on the comments I heard 62 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: from one of the employees who spoke. In fact, that 63 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: employee said she wants the city to better address homelessness. 64 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: I know you guys already have a whole action plan 65 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 4: in place, but I feel like yet still problems are 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 4: happening and they're not going away as you know, as 67 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 4: fast as we would like them to. In addition to that, 68 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 4: I feel like the homelessness brings a lot of crime 69 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: and vandalism, and that is costly for local businesses because 70 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 4: we have to pay for it out of our own pocket. 71 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: And in addition to the high. 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 4: Minimum wage, it's just it's very hard financially for local 73 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 4: businesses to make it in this economy. And those are 74 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: all factors that contribute to it. Thank you. 75 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: And after she said that, you can actually hear this 76 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: staff members in the background clapping again. The owner of 77 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: this restaurant brought many of his staff members to this meeting, 78 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: all who spoke can Another manager followed up with what 79 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: she had to say with similar comments. 80 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 5: Recent incidents of vandalism and the presence of homeless individuals 81 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 5: trespassing on our restaurant patio over and over again have 82 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 5: become a significant, sorry significant challenge for us. These incidents 83 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 5: not only pose a threat to the well being of 84 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 5: our staff and yes, but also result in substantial financial 85 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 5: losses for our business, with thousands of dollars being spent 86 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 5: every week on repairs and damages that happen. 87 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 3: So yeah, ken as you say. The owner of the restaurants, 88 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: criticizing the city's now reverse move last year to cut 89 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: the La County deputies, raised the number of unarmed security ambassadors. 90 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: He says the ambassadors can't handle what he's going through. 91 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: He says, people are screaming at his place. So these 92 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 3: are people that are truspassing on to his property. They're 93 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: screaming at his place, scaring customers away. I looked into 94 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: this restaurant, very upscale menu. The city council did address 95 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: the problems at the end of the meeting. They say 96 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 3: they'll be looking into options, notably adding a patrol card 97 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: near the restaurant, having a sheriff's official speak with the 98 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: restaurant's owner and Mayor pro temp John Erickson, said he 99 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 3: wants better updates as to what's happening. He says, the 100 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 3: you know, the vandalism, everything he was hearing about it 101 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: was basically news to him. It was the first time 102 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: he was hearing about that, so he said, he wants, 103 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: you know, better updates from the from the Sheriff's department. 104 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 3: But yeah, all of this seems to point to some 105 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 3: serious challenges for that business, and I would imagine that 106 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: business is not alone. 107 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 4: Yeah. 108 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: I saw the owner on the news. He was interviewed 109 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 2: by Weiho media outlet Lucy and Tutor. 110 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: How do you pronounce this la boheem ye? I'm sorry. 111 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: The restaurant. 112 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, the restaurant is it loavoheim. 113 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 3: Lot I was hearing them, I'll say lobohem. 114 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: Lobo hem. It's described as American Mediterranean. It does have 115 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: an outside patio. You can imagine that if you have 116 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: a restaurant like that, you're on the front lines with 117 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: the homeless people wandering in and out. 118 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: I could see. 119 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: I mean, if it gets to the point where he's 120 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: going to shut down the restaurant saying that he could 121 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: lose five thousand dollars in sales to go to the lacity, 122 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: to go to the city council meeting in West Hollywood 123 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: and demand action, you gotta understand how desperate these people are. 124 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: I mean, five thousand dollars in sales can probably to 125 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: him based on what he's saying, with the loss of 126 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: customers and things like that, he probably wants to eat 127 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: that cost to get the city council to take action. 128 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: So yeah, I would imagine he's losing a lot more 129 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 3: money than that from these ongoing issues. He released some 130 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: surveillance video to the media of homeless people getting on 131 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: his property. In one, you just see a guy wandering 132 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 3: around shirtless on that patio. And again, when you're running 133 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: a restaurant, an upscale restaurant, that clientele is not going 134 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: to show up and deal with those issues. 135 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 2: All right, Thank you very much, Blake, appreciate it, all right, 136 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: thanks ken Ah Hi Blake.

It was 261 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 10: in fact fuel injector cleaner on several people in those businesses, 262 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 10: trying to light them on fire. And the Good Samaritan 263 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 10: was also here tonight. I talked to him and he said, 264 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 10: you know, this was definitely not something that he enjoyed doing, 265 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 10: and he feels the worst for that little dog. 266 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: Now, let's review this story because it's almost too wild 267 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 2: to believe. A sixty one year old man by the 268 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 2: name of Robert Hate from Palo Alto, I believe, she said, 269 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 2: wanders into a pizza shop in Thousand Oaks, a place 270 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 2: called the Legro Pizza, into the kitchen and he douses 271 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 2: one of the chefs with gasoline picks up one of 272 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 2: the chef's knives. He's walking a little dog around. The 273 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: unchecked mental illness that is out there now is hard 274 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: to believe. I don't know if this is a vagrant. 275 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 2: I looked at the video. 276 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: I know doesn't. 277 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 2: Particularly fit the profile, but it could be Palo Alto 278 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: supposedly having a mental health issue. 279 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: How did he end up there? 280 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: And apparently he was walking around looking like he was 281 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: going to threaten other places too before they got him 282 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: into custody. But Debor Mark's happy the dog was taken 283 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: to a show. 284 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 9: I want to get this dog. 285 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: Did you see this guy walking around the little dog on 286 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: a leash inside the kitchen, he's holding a knife. It's like, 287 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: I believe wild what you can possibly encounter these days 288 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 2: in California and Southern California, with so much homelessness and 289 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: mental illness. We have a restaurant that wants to shut 290 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: down and they have to shut down completely in West 291 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: Hollywood because it's being overrun with vagrant problems. We have 292 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: these poor people in a pizza shop and Thousand Oaks 293 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: where a chef gets attacked by a man who grabs 294 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: a knife and dowses him with gasoline. Yeah, I would 295 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: have thought it was water too. It's like, all right, 296 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: so he just threw a glass. 297 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: Of water at me. 298 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: Maybe he's a little nutty, maybe funny, but it's actually gasoline. 299 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: And I guess he had a light or too. So 300 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: apparently though, they eventually took this guy down, you know, 301 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: in dealing with what's going on too, because the response 302 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: generally from the powers that be, the elected officials, is 303 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 2: that well, crime is down. These are just isolated into 304 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 2: they're just getting crazier and wilder, and they're causing such 305 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: disruptions between the homeless encampments and the homeless wandering around 306 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: that people are making decisions either to leave or to 307 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: shut down their businesses and move somewhere else. You probably 308 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: heard there's been a rash of robberies at businesses and 309 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: Larchmont apparently Boba shops were getting ripped off. Was in 310 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 2: the news this week. What some places have been doing, 311 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: and it's just something you have to do, is they've 312 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: been going cashless. There's one owner of a store I 313 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: see in a quote here who said, once we took 314 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: out the cash register, the visible cash register on the counter, 315 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: that was it the robberies really faded off, because that's 316 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: what these guys want. I mean, if you're running. 317 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: A food business. 318 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: Obviously, if you're running a retail story, yeah, people want 319 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: to go in and still clothing and jewelry and high 320 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: end stuff. But when you're just running a food business, 321 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: like the taco trucks or these Bobus shops, it's just 322 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 2: about grabbing as much cash as you can and running 323 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: out the door. 324 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: So if you take away the cash. 325 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: Register and acceptance of cash, this is why these cannabis 326 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: businesses get robbed off, get ripped off many times, because 327 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: they're all about a cash business too. So, because I'm 328 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 2: reading this story that apparently in San Francisco, the board 329 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: of supervisors there thought this was too harsh on people 330 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: that cannot afford a bank account a credit card, so 331 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: they banned cashless stores. Can you imagine that they're telling 332 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: stores what they can do in terms of the payment 333 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: that they accept in this business. And the response to 334 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: many of them was, well, now what crime goes up 335 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: immediately when you're a cash business, and it goes down 336 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 2: when you're cashless. 337 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: He also says it helps. 338 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: Servers too, they bring out the tablet and you have 339 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: to physically pick up a tip amount. It's a lot 340 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: harder to pick zero, so they actually get better tips 341 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: when they're working off of a credit card. 342 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: If we had to go back to cash, that would 343 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: all drop. 344 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: Some business is still like cash only because the credit 345 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: card companies take a cut so they can get more money. 346 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: But we're starting to see a more evening out with cashless. 347 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: Now it will always be a place for cash, but 348 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: in our businesses that's becoming less and less of a thing, 349 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 2: and now kind of a necessary thing to go cashless 350 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 2: because of all the. 351 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: Thefts that are going on out there.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis apparently has been 383 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 2: forming a coalition of sheriffs to address the border crisis, 384 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: and it says here, Ninety law enforcement officials from across 385 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 2: the country signed on to a letter released by DeSantis's 386 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 2: gubernatorial office voicing support for his stance on border security. 387 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 2: At least somebody is talking about the border, right You 388 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: wish Trump would, but only want to talk about is 389 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 2: losing the election and of course all the charges against him. Anyway, 390 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: one of those sheriffs is the Riverside County Sheriff, Chad Bianco, 391 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,239 Speaker 2: Who's going to join us now to talk about this 392 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: because clearly the Times ran a story on this, and 393 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: there's many immigration groups very very upset with this decision. 394 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 2: So let's bring on Sheriff Bianco and talk about it. 395 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Johnny Ken Show. 396 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 12: Thank you, I appreciate being on. 397 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: Thanks all right, So what is this about? 398 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: What is exactly this coalition of sheriff's to address the 399 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 2: border crisis? 400 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: The whole thing about. 401 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 12: All you have to do is read the letter. I mean, 402 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 12: it really boils down to common sense and reason and 403 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 12: actually thinking about something rather than just being told what 404 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 12: to say. But we all know, all law enforcement knows 405 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 12: that what we have at the border right now is 406 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 12: a disaster. And the what's happening with these immigrant groups 407 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 12: and civil rights the ACLU, which is a complete a 408 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 12: joke of another story. They want to make it something 409 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 12: that it's not. And the reality for law enforcement is 410 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 12: the increase, the overwhelming increase of drugs being brought into 411 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 12: the country, the gangs that are controlling human trafficking, the 412 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 12: cartels controlling human trafficking is a crisis and we are 413 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 12: dealing with it on a day to day basis. So 414 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 12: to actually have someone on a national platform come out 415 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 12: and say I want you to join my stance in 416 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 12: taking care of our border and helping with crime and security, 417 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 12: it's pretty much common sense. But the rest of these 418 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 12: people want to make it political or whatever it is. 419 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 12: And I even made the comment the other day that 420 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 12: if our president would come out and say I want 421 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 12: all these sheriffs to join me in my fight to 422 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 12: secure our border and stop the drugs and the gangs 423 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 12: from coming across, we joined his coalition too. But that's 424 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 12: never going to happen. 425 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean really under discussed in all this. 426 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 2: Clearly, there was a lot of coverage last month when 427 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: Title forty two was ending about the Great migrant Rush 428 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: into the United States, and that is an issue. But 429 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: the whole drug thing, the fentanyl and so many Americans 430 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: that are dying from fentyl poisoning, is so undercovered and underplayed, 431 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 2: and it's become a major major problem at the border. 432 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 2: And you barely hear the Biden administration and that the 433 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 2: goofball that runs DHS New York is saying anything about this. 434 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: They don't seem to be doing anything to stop it. 435 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 2: Says in there the story that DeSantis actually favors maybe 436 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: the death penalty for drug for a drug cartel deal 437 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: of leaders. 438 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 12: Yeah, and I did hear that. I've never read that. 439 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 12: I did hear it though, especially after the coverage from 440 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 12: yesterday and all these people freaking out over what should 441 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 12: be a common sense issue of fighting crime in our communities. 442 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 12: But regardless of all of that, it's common sense. It's 443 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 12: doing the right thing. That's protecting victims. 444 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, it's what it's doing. It's protecting victims. What 445 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: do you see in your county? It says here you 446 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: did visit the border in Imperial County recently? What did 447 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: What do you see in Riverside County is the biggest 448 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: problems dealing with the open border. 449 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 12: Well, regardless of and this is another thing of what 450 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 12: these these activists that want to make it an issue 451 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,239 Speaker 12: that's not an issue. They want to They want to 452 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 12: paint me as a racist or anti immigration or whatever 453 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 12: whatever they want to say. The reality is, I'm completely 454 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 12: against crime. I do not like criminals. I am biased 455 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 12: against criminals. I don't like crime I do. I want 456 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 12: to keep us as safe as possible. And the truth 457 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 12: of our border is from the day this presidential administration 458 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 12: took office and opened the border, we have seen a substantial, substantial, 459 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 12: multifold increase in drugs coming across the border, in money 460 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 12: and drugs being smuggled back into the country, and human trafficking, 461 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 12: whether it's trafficking or label trafficking, and that affects all 462 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 12: of law enforcement on a day to day basis. But 463 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 12: no one wants to talk about that. If we bring 464 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 12: up the border and crime coming across, the cartels, controlling 465 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 12: who comes across, and everything else in the drugs, we're 466 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 12: just labeled as racist. Because no one wants to deal 467 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 12: with the real issue of criminality and drugs and how 468 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 12: we're going to keep us safe. We just paint everything 469 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 12: with a Democrat or a Republican and we label people 470 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 12: that disagree with us as racists, and we hope that 471 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 12: that emotional argument overrides the issue that they just don't 472 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 12: want They want drugs and alcohol or drugs into our country. 473 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 12: They want criminals to have free reign in our country. 474 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 12: And really we don't know why, and we don't address 475 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 12: that because we're fighting over racism issues. 476 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. And of course all the uproar over the 477 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 2: migrant flights flying migrants to places like California, by Florida 478 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 2: and by Texas. I mean, what's your reaction to all 479 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 2: of that? Isn't that a rational way to say? That's 480 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 2: spread out the problem. We're not a sanctuary state or 481 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: a sanctuary city. We have too many migrants who have 482 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 2: come here from foreign countries. We can't handle this in 483 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: our state. You need to spread them out. I don't 484 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 2: think there's anything wrong with that. But of course this 485 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: has been turned into another uproar in your right claims 486 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: of racism. 487 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 12: And let me tell you the hypocrisy of that we 488 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 12: have between San Ernandino, Riverside and or not in Subardino, 489 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 12: Orange County, San Diego and Riverside County. The state has 490 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 12: sent over one hundred thousand immigrants to other states. Why 491 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 12: is no one asking Governor Knwsom about that. It's his funding, 492 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 12: he's doing it, he's arranging it. But yet he's calling 493 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 12: out governors from other states for sending them to California. 494 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 12: There is no bigger hypocrit than our governor, and no 495 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 12: one is calling him out on it, and no one 496 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 12: is making an answer those questions. When you get to 497 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 12: that level where everyone's making things about politics, all of 498 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 12: them are a joke and they need to go away. 499 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 12: We need to stop voting for these people and make 500 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 12: them go away. 501 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: You're saying the California sent one hundred thousand migrants to 502 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: other states at least, and where do you get that 503 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 2: information from? 504 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 4: Those are? 505 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 12: Those are our numbers? Those are they're they're being dropped 506 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 12: off in in Riverside County, sand Or Riverside County, San 507 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 12: Diego County, and in Orange County. We have to handle them, 508 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 12: We have to process them, our medical uh, our Department 509 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 12: of Health, County Department of Health has to make sure 510 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 12: they're they're they're taking care of medically physically. We house 511 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 12: them in hotels if our NGOs don't have room, and 512 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 12: then we figure out where they're going to go or 513 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 12: where they want to go, and then we pay for 514 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 12: them to get there. The state is paying millions and 515 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 12: millions of dollars to send these these people that are 516 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 12: coming across illegally to other states. But yet our failure 517 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 12: of a governor wants to accuse other people of doing 518 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 12: it so he can, so he can get a few 519 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 12: media spots for his is God forbid run for president? 520 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that may be what we're looking at eventually someday, 521 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: if not next year. 522 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: Have been twenty twenty eight, what do you think of 523 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: the presidential campaign? 524 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: So does this mean that you're endorsing Ron DeSantis and 525 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: you think is the best answers to the border problems. 526 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 12: No, it means that at all. It goes back to 527 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 12: what I said earlier. If President Biden would come up 528 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 12: with something like that, I jump on board with it. 529 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 12: If you change the DESSANDUS name to Biden, I would 530 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 12: jump on board with that also. And if Trump said something, 531 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 12: or if Kennedy said something, would I would be fully 532 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 12: on board because this isn't about politics. When you're talking 533 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 12: about law enforcement and public safety, it's not about politics. 534 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 12: It's right versus wrong. It's black versus white, and it's 535 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 12: what are we doing to better make our communities safer? 536 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 12: And if we're failing, we have to do something different. 537 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 12: And if someone has a better way of doing it 538 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 12: or a better plan, I'm all for it. 539 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. 540 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: I mean, the other side likes to call the migrant 541 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: crisis a humanitarian crisis, and you know, you can take an 542 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: argument that people are looking for and escape from their 543 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 2: home country. But the drug part, I'm talking to Riverside 544 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 2: County Sheriff Chad Bianco. The whole idea of getting all 545 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 2: these drugs into the country, particularly now with the fentanyl problem, 546 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: you would think they would be doing everything they could 547 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: to stop this from happening. And one of my theories 548 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 2: is that it's such a big money maker from Mexico, 549 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: the Mexican government is not interested in stopping the cartels. 550 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 12: Yeah, probably not. And we all know through history, we 551 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 12: know that the cartels have a major, major, major influence 552 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 12: in the politics in Mexico. So you're exactly right with that. 553 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 12: But here here it's just all about politics. Is how 554 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 12: can we use how can we use a catastrophe or 555 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 12: how can we use an emergency for our own benefit? 556 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 12: And we'll twist it around and call it something that 557 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 12: it's not, and we'll try and benefit from it politically. 558 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 12: And it flies in the face of public safety, which 559 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 12: is why no one, no politician is going to debate 560 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 12: a law enforcement officer about public safety because, to be 561 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 12: quite honest, the ones that we have, and especially the 562 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 12: leaders we have, they don't care. 563 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: All Right, Sheriff Chad Bianco, thanks for talking to me. 564 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate it absolutely. 565 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 12: You're welcome anytime. 566 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 2: All right, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. And of course 567 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 2: he's in the news because he's joined a coalition of 568 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 2: sheriffs from around the country to address the border crisis. 569 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 2: This is coming from the Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and 570 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: his campaign for presidents and they want to try to 571 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 2: work on solutions to not only the migrant problem, but 572 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 2: of course the drug problem. John and Ken KFI AM 573 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 574 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 7: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 575 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 7: AM six forty. 576 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: Well, we now have a number over two hundred billion 577 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: dollars was ripped off from the federal government in fraud 578 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: pandemic money. There's a whole lot of programs are out there, 579 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: not just Unemployment Assistant, a whole lot of different programs 580 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: to help small businesses and such. And the number that's 581 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: coming out now is more than two hundred billion dollars, 582 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: and of course the federal government spends trillions. However, this 583 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 2: shouldn't have happened and it's way over an acceptable level 584 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: of fraud. Bob Westbrooks will be my guest after the 585 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 2: news at two o'clock.

And of course we have talked for 592 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 2: years in California about the COVID ripoff that happened here 593 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 2: with the unemployment money, more than thirty billion dollars going 594 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 2: out to fraudsters. So all this is coming up after 595 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: the news at two o'clock and at about thirty minutes, 596 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: that's right, we'll release another keyword for your chance at 597 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: CAFI inflation compensation cash.

Well, 599 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 2: we've talked a lot in the last year or so. 600 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: It's become the hot new topic, getting rid of your 601 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 2: gas stove. The climate fanatics, of course, spent a lot 602 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: of years trying to get you out of your car. Well, 603 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 2: they probably hit a bump there that they can't quite 604 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: get over right now, although they're coming up with ideas 605 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: like mileage taxes, which they keep pushing. But so the 606 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 2: next thing that they're thinking about is the gas stove. Well, 607 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 2: there's an offshoot to this story, and it's going to 608 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 2: take us to New York City and it involves probably 609 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 2: one of the most treasured precious food items for New 610 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,959 Speaker 2: York City people who live there and visit there, and 611 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: that's the pizza. And the war there concerns the coal 612 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 2: and the wood fired ovens that make the pizza. That's 613 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 2: what makes the pizza the best. Anybody who professionally cooks 614 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: pizza can tell you, or bakes it can tell you. 615 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 2: It is critical that you have just the right oven 616 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: to cook the. 617 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: Dough and the ingredients. 618 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 2: Well, New York City is coming after coal and wood 619 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 2: fired ovens, and it's got the pizza people really worked up. 620 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 2: The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has drafted 621 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 2: new rules that would order these pizza places using these 622 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 2: decades old baking method to slice carbon emissions by up 623 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 2: to seventy five percent. The statement from one of their 624 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: spokesholes Ted Timbers, is all New Yorkers deserve to breathe 625 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: healthy air, and wood and cold fired stoves are among 626 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 2: the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with. 627 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: Poor air quality. Oh, they've got to be kidding me. 628 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 2: This is very similar to the gas stove of argument. 629 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: This common sense rule developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups. 630 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: There's the keywords. 631 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 2: Environmental justice groups requires a professional review of whether installing 632 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: emissions his controls is feasible. So the rule would require 633 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: pizza reas with ovens installed prior to May of twenty 634 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: sixteen to buy emission control devices. The owner of one 635 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: Brooklyn pizza place says he's already thrown out twenty thousand 636 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: dollars on an air filter system in anticipation of the 637 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 2: new mandate. Others are saying, this is just too much 638 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: money for us to spend on pollution control equipment for 639 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 2: something is I mean, they're coming after pizza in New 640 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: York City, trying to slash carbon emissions from wood and 641 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: coal fired stoves.

This is the New York Pizza Party. 666 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 13: Give us pizza or give us death. Give us pizza 667 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 13: or give us deaths pizza. 668 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: We'll give us death. There's the chance. Give us pizza. 669 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: For give us pizza. Can't give us death. But he 670 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: put everything in there and the revolution against the wolf. 671 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 13: That's what this city keeps doing. Can't have a small business, 672 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 13: can't have pizza. New York City is nothing without pizza. 673 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 13: Boston tea Party, this is the New York Pizza Party now. 674 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: A city official said that under a hundred restaurants would 675 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 2: be impacted. A pizza restaurant here told The New York 676 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: Post that there are negotiations underway with the Department of 677 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 2: Environmental Protection to maybe grandfather in or exempt dozens of 678 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 2: coal and wood fired pizza joints from the mandate. I mean, 679 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 2: I went out to a pretty really good pizza place, 680 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 2: and you know it's a good place that takes it 681 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,479 Speaker 2: very seriously because the menu has all the different kinds 682 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 2: of pizza that you can can get Chicago style or 683 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 2: Detroit style or New York and it's different ovens the 684 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 2: way they do this, because it's a whole different technique. 685 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 2: This restaurant tour said, this is an unfended, unfunded mandate. 686 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 2: It's gonna cost us a fortune, not to mention rooting 687 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 2: the taste of the pizza, which could totally destroy the product. 688 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: He said, if you bleep around with the temperature in 689 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 2: the oven, you're going to change the taste. That pipe, 690 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 2: that chimney, it's that size to create the perfect updraft 691 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 2: keeps the temperature perfect. 692 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: It's an art as much as a science. 693 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: You take away the char the thing that makes the 694 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 2: pizza taste great, you kill the whole thing. And for 695 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: what you really think you're changing the environment with these 696 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 2: eight or nine pizza ovens. That's, of course the overriding point. 697 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 2: I mean, the madness that this infected California has made 698 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 2: its way to many other states, including New York City, 699 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 2: where now they're worried about emissions from pizza ovens, You 700 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 2: have got to be kidding me. 701 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: He's exactly right. 702 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 2: And again, the total emissions of California, New York together 703 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 2: is a fraction of the world's emissions. 704 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: This is absolutely incredible. 705 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 2: One other resident said, just tell al Gore to take 706 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 2: one less private jet or something like that. 707 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: Give me a break. This is hard to believe. 708 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 2: And an owner of another pizza place says the air 709 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 2: scrubbers he doesn't think will affect the quality of the 710 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 2: taste or the texture of the pies. If someone is 711 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 2: trying to say they're putting the scrubber in changes the 712 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 2: flavor of the pizza, well, they're trying to save themselves. 713 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: Twenty thousand dollars. 714 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 2: But twenty thousand dollars is a lot of money for 715 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 2: a small business to afford. Some of these businesses, particularly 716 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 2: how badly they got hit by the whole pandemic and 717 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,399 Speaker 2: the lockdowns from a couple of years back, are still 718 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 2: struggling to recover. And you're going to come after them 719 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: over their wood and coal fired pizza oven emissions. 720 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. 721 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 2: All right, when I come back, it's another look at 722 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: what happened in the Great Ripoff beginning with the COVID 723 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 2: nineteen pandemic. 724 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: AID. 725 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 2: There's a report out now that the federal government probably 726 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 2: handed out more than two hundred billion dollars to fraudsters 727 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 2: two hundred billion California a loone we think was thirty billion, 728 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 2: north of thirty billion dollars.
