He's written a book called How Joe over Overrun, 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: How Joe Biden unleashed the greatest border crisis in US history. 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: And he's got another piece of the puzzle today to 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: talk about. According to a story he also wrote in 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: The New York Post, the United Nations, taking in part 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 1: US tax money, is funneling aid to illegals in transit 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: to the border through all these what they call mngo's's 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: on government organizations. We'll explain what those are. But your 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: tax money is ending up in the hands of illegal 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: aliens while they're on the train to the US across 20 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: the border illegally hard to believe.

Todd, welcome again. 22 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: Great to be here, Thanks for having me again. 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,279 Speaker 1: How does this work? 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: Well, you know, the United Nations has agencies that specialize 25 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: in refugees and immigration and immigrants. They fancy themselves as 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: protectors and supporters of the vulnerable on the presumption that 27 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: people are on the move because they're fleeing certain death, 28 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: that kind of thing. And the United Nations, it turns out, 29 00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: is very active and present all along the micro ration 30 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: trails in Latin America. They have been for years handing 31 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 2: out cash, debit cards, and money all along the trails, 32 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: as well as food and shelter and clothing helping being 33 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: helped along by private fill and profit migrant protection groups 34 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: and gos non governmental organizations and a lot of that. 35 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: I kind of picked up a few years ago, just 36 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: sort of reporting down the area where you know people were, 37 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: you know, they're being handed gift cards basically, or you 38 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: cash debit cards. I'm like, what's this? And I reported 39 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 2: it and I was called a liar and making it up, 40 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: and even though I have video and photos. But now 41 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: the United Nations has just published its budget for twenty 42 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: twenty four. It's online and anybody can get it. The 43 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: budget is calling for one point five nine billion dollars 44 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty four in cash and transportation assistance, shelter, 45 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: rent assistance, clothing, medical treatment. 46 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: And this is on the way in This is along 47 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: their Ruy end to the US. 48 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: Yes, and they plan to give, for example, three hundred 49 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: and twenty nine million dollars in cash to six hundred 50 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: and twenty four thousand immigrants that they know are on 51 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: their way to the US passing illegally through a bunch 52 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: of different countries. They plan to hand out millions of 53 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: dollars in what they call, I mean twenty five million 54 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: dollars in what they call humanitarian transportation, which is, you know, 55 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: buses and many ands and taxis and whatnot across borders. 56 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: The document is one hundred and thirty pages of very 57 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: granular detail of who they plan to help, where the 58 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: aid will be given out. Hundreds of millions of dollars 59 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: in aid at waste stations in fifteen different Latin American 60 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: countries plus Mexico, handed out by two hundred and forty 61 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: eight aid organizations known as NGOs By. 62 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: The way, we're broadcasting all this on Instagram right now, 63 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: so if you want to get on Instagram you could 64 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: see this conversation. We've got Todd Benzman on from the 65 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: Center for Immigration Study. All this US tax money is 66 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: being used. Is this money that we've given to the 67 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: United Nations? How are they getting a hold of our 68 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: tax bunds? 69 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: Well, the United States has always has been the primary 70 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: donor nation for the United Nations since it was established 71 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 2: after World War Two. We still give the vast majority 72 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: of all the dollars that fund the United Nations. So 73 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: the presumption is, of course that quite a lot of 74 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: this money is going to be US tax money. They're 75 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: also raising it from private individuals all over the world, 76 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: and they've got a big campaign going, you know, for 77 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: small donations. They'll take donations from anywhere and anyone. It 78 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 2: usually is provided to the UN through the State Department. 79 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: The White House controls that, and then also there's congressional 80 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: packages that go in our spending bills for the United 81 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: Nations every year for dem and this is. 82 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: It seems like the entire there's a secret underground world 83 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: and they have are conspiring to say as many illegal 84 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: immigrants to this country, which is destabilizing all our big cities, 85 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: causing chaos. There's obviously plenty of criminals coming in, terrorists 86 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: most likely. It's just astonishing that you have all these 87 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: worldwide organizations, all these other countries, everybody's in on it. 88 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: And and and suppose they presume, or their cover story 89 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: is that all these migrants are fleeing some kind of 90 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: terrible oppression. But the truth is when they apply for asylum, 91 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: most of the time their asylum claims are rejected. Judges 92 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: aren't believing their stories. 93 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not assyling, They're not they're not legitimate eligible 94 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: asylum claimants. They're economic migrants. They'll be the first ones 95 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: to tell you when you're down there on the trail, Yeah, 96 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 2: I'm coming to make some money and send it home 97 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: to my family. So it's really just you know, I mean, 98 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of irony in the fact that 99 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: the US is funding its own border. Isis right, that's 100 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: sort of the well that's. 101 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: Onoto line here is we're paying to have our borders 102 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: violated three million times a year. 103 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: Well, and actually the number of immigrants that they're hoping 104 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: to help is three million in twenty twenty four in 105 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: fifteen different countries. And by the way, but the document 106 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: that I'm referring to, which I link to in my 107 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: piece at CIS dot org Center for Immigration Studies dot org, 108 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: a version of this rand in the New York Post 109 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: acknowledges it's all being done wittingly. The authors of the 110 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: document acknowledge that most of the people that they're planning 111 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: to help are illegally present and illegally on the move 112 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: and plan to stage illegal crossings of the US border. 113 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: They don't even try to hide it. 114 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: So all the other countries that encompass the United Nations, 115 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: they all have given their TACIT approval for this operation, 116 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: and so has the Biden administration. Obviously, everybody's in on it. 117 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: There's a funding mechanism to keep all the illegal migrants 118 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: content and comfortable as they take their trips into America. 119 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: Right And you know, the point of this from the 120 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: perspective of the United Nations, and I have interviewed some 121 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 2: of their officials about this, is that you know, we 122 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: are we think that they're coming no matter what. They're 123 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: going to come, no matter what. They have no choice 124 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: because they're under death threat. Every last one of them. 125 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: Well that's alive though, right, yeah, and therefore we feel like, 126 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: you know, we have to make sure that you know, 127 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: we don't let anybody die along the way on their flight. 128 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: Oh all right, Well that's their cover story, But it 129 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: looks like what they're really pushing here is some kind 130 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: of global socialism where they want to attract is three 131 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: million poor people a year and send them to the 132 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: United States and let the wealthy United States give them 133 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: jobs and housing and schooling and medical care. This is 134 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: a big charity project that we've been given the responsibility for. 135 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: The notion that, yeah, and push it in the document 136 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: is this notion that people have an absolute right to 137 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: move and wherever they want. Borders are cool and inhumane 138 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: and are wrong. And it speaks of nations that are 139 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 2: trying to stop it as a negative force, a negative factor, 140 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: as something that has to be contended with, and that 141 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 2: they have to support people while they are being blocked 142 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: from this sort of country. The policy. When a country 143 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: along the way and acts something, it's sort of written 144 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: as though it's a negative thing, so you can kind 145 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: of pick up the tone of the budget. It's one 146 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty pages, and I would urge people to 147 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: go and read it. And also the two hundred and 148 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: forty eight NGOs are listed and I link to all 149 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: of them and you can see, I mean a whole 150 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: bunch of them.

But Todd is telling us 174 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: that he found the documents to prove it that the 175 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: United Nations has been paying all about a millions and 176 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: millions of dollars and to the illegal aliens before they 177 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: come to the US border. You know how they come 178 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: on let's say trains. Well, they're being given cash and 179 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: debit cards and to keep them fed and comfortable. The 180 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: United Nations using our tax money. We supply much of 181 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: the budget for the UN. So they're taking our money 182 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: and then giving it to the illegal aliens on the 183 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: way in here. And the Biden administration knows this, and 184 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: so do all the other countries. And we're the only 185 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: country that they're doing this. They have documents which say 186 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: their goal is to get three million people a year 187 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: here into America. This is the UN, this is the 188 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: whole world aligned against US three million a year because 189 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: all these bureaucratic buffoons don't want us to exist in 190 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: our current form, and so they send all these poor 191 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: people here under false pretenses. They claim they're refugees from 192 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: oppression and violence, and that qualifies them for asylum. No 193 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: such thing. These are economic migrants, which does not entitle 194 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: you to asylum. They all should be deported. No other country, 195 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: no other country, is getting this treatment from the un 196 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: just US, and they're using our money against us without 197 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: our permission. Nobody asked us. It's really outrageous. And again, 198 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: you know, he was told at first when he was 199 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: reporting this that he's a liar by all the usual liars, 200 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: of the real liars. And he had he had, he 201 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: had the documents tobsolutely true. That's what they're doing. We 202 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: are going to be talking with Ike Jachi for MAYBC 203 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: News coming up in just a few minutes. We had 204 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: covered this early in the show, about the door plug 205 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: that blew off the Alaska Airlines jet made by Boeing, 206 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: and then there was a Delta plane that lost a 207 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: Boeing tire in Atlanta as it was waiting to take off, 208 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: and the New York Times did a whole piece on 209 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: how Boeing has lost its way when it comes to 210 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: let's call it quality control. There is another story out. 211 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: You're going to enjoy this, yeh. According to the Daily Mail, 212 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: the UH the Alaska seven thirty seven Max blowout was 213 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: Boeing's fault. The door plug was taken off by Boeing 214 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: maintenance crews and then improperly reinstalled. Okay, come on during 215 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: final assembly at the Washington factory. Anonymous whistleblower has said 216 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: that Boeing is at fault, claiming the panel that blew 217 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: off was removed for repair then reinstalled improperly at a 218 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: Washington factory. You're asking before, yes, what do we know 219 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: about these maintenance workers? 220 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 4: How much do they make? 221 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 5: I don't know, because we need to hire We need 222 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 5: to hire different maintenance workers, and we need to pay 223 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 5: them way more money than they're. 224 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: Making now, and different management. 225 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 4: Exactly. 226 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: There's an aviation website called liam News, and the whistleblower 227 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: leaked the story to that outlet, saying the door plug 228 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: got removed and reinstalled, and you know, the four bolts 229 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: were improperly aligned or properly attached. And see they thought 230 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: maybe it was the supplier of the fuselage, which is 231 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: that company in Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita, Kansas. Because that's 232 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: who originally installed the panel, but it actually happened when 233 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: they removed the panel in Washington and then reconnected it. 234 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: The whistleblower says, the reason the door blew off is 235 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: stated in black and white and Boeing's own records. It's very, 236 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: very stupid and speaks volumes about the quality culture at 237 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: certain portions of this business. There's four bolts that prevent 238 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: the door plug from sliding up off the doorstop, and 239 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: these four bolts were not installed when Boeing delivered the airplane. 240 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: Our own records reflect this. So you know how the 241 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: bolts were missing from the plane door, yes, and never found. Well, 242 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: if you believe this whistleblower, they were never there to 243 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: begin with. And he says, if you look at the record, 244 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: it'll prove that. And so that's why the door flew 245 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: out of its plug. 246 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 5: People need to be fired over this. Can you imagine 247 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 5: if there were people sitting remember those those seats by 248 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 5: that that door plug or they I know that that 249 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 5: It is just so crazy. 250 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: I'm starting to believe in conspiracy theories more, and I 251 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: also start thinking of my own But if if the 252 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: bolts were never put in for the maintenance and the 253 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: two seats next to the door were empty, right. 254 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 5: So you think somebody knew the last minute and they 255 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 5: made sure that nobody sat there. 256 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. These are little scenes. I mean that 257 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: seeds in my. 258 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 5: Head because divine intervention just I don't know if I 259 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 5: buy that. 260 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: What are the math what's the math on that there 261 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: were six empty seats out of one hundred and seventy one, 262 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: two of the six were right next to that door plug. 263 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: And it turns out there were no bolts to begin with, 264 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: so that had to happen. There was no way that 265 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: wasn't going to happen. 266 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: There's stuff here we don't know that will come to light. 267 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just have a little antenna, internal 268 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: antenna about these things. We're gonna talk to ABC News 269 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: correspondent Ike Ajachi because the Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun was 270 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: supposed to have a meeting with lawmakers today about all this, 271 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: and it's just getting worse. It's getting worse hour by 272 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: hour for Boeing. 273 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am sixty. 274 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: We've been talking a lot about Boeing and the problems 275 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: they've had with their airplanes. There was another incident on 276 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: Saturday with a Boeing plane in Atlanta when a nosewheel 277 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: went flying off as a plane was going to take off. 278 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: Dave Calhoun, the Boeing CEO, has been under a ton 279 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: of criticism the last few weeks after that door plug 280 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: flew off the Alaska Airlines jet, and then you had 281 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: that other Boeing plane where fire was shooting out of 282 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: a cargo jet in Miami. It seems to end anyway. 283 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: He was on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers and Ike Jachi, 284 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: ABC News is here to tell us about it. Hike, 285 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: how are you? 286 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 6: I'm all right. How are you doing today? 287 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm all right? Well, what's going on with David Calhoun? 288 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 6: Essentially the CEO bowing David Calhoun and he's doing what 289 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 6: seems to be damage control, getting ahead of what's likely 290 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 6: to be several congressional hearings. Now, he went in and 291 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 6: these spoke to a few senators today, and he came 292 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 6: out and made some comments to reporters and cameras, and 293 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 6: he said that his company does not put planes in 294 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 6: the air, they don't have one hundred percent confidence in Well, 295 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 6: he spoke with Senator Maria Cantwell from Washington Democrat, and 296 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 6: she essentially was peppering him with questions trying to get 297 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 6: to the bottom of this, and she told him that 298 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 6: the quality, engineering and safety must be the company's top priorities. 299 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 6: She said that she's planning on holding a Senate hearing, 300 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 6: which she's obviously the lead of the Senate Commerce, Science, 301 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 6: and Transportation Committee, and he's likely to come in and 302 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 6: going to have to testify officially in front of lawmakers, 303 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 6: trying to exact answer these questions that remain unanswered now. 304 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 6: Part of this today that I happened. He was asked 305 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 6: a question about that Seattle Times report that came out 306 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 6: and essentially says that fuselage panel that blew off was 307 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 6: removed for a pair and reinstalled improperly by Boeing's mechanics 308 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 6: at its assembly line and right in Washington. He did 309 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 6: not comment on that report. He said that he can't 310 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 6: comment on a specifics because of the ongoing NTSB investigation. 311 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: Well, what's he going to do when he gets to 312 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: the hearing if he doesn't want to comment on specifics 313 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: or anything that's being investigated. This stuff is going to 314 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: be investigated for months. So what's he going to do 315 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: just give a bunch of cliches about how safety is 316 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: our number one priority. 317 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 6: That's essentially what we're looking at, to be honest. But 318 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 6: you know, this is something that, like you said, it's 319 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 6: been going up the lot of the months, from the years. 320 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 6: You remember those two Max eight jets in twenty eighteen 321 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 6: and twenty nineteen that tell out this guy killed almost 322 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 6: three hundred and fifty people. These are serious things that 323 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 6: are happening, and serious allegations against how this company is 324 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 6: essentially running on the manufacturing level. Already analysts who call 325 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 6: them the question whether executives at the company will have 326 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 6: to reside. So we're seeing very strong pushback, now only 327 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 6: from passengers, but from engineers and also other airlines. United 328 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 6: came out and said that they don't know, and they're 329 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 6: rethinking about including the upcoming seven thirty seven Max ten 330 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 6: jets that BOWL will be producing, the suits they're rethinking 331 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 6: about using those. 332 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, this is this is a disaster because 333 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: there's only two companies that make these jets that US 334 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: airlines buy, and it's it's Boeing and it's Airbus. Airbus 335 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: is based in Europe, so in America. Boeing is it 336 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: for jet plane manufacturing. 337 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 6: You know, we have some lawmakers that choose calsho of 338 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 6: essentially cutting you know, cutting the lines for profits and 339 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 6: profit teaming. This is essentially what happens when you have 340 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 6: one company controlling everything, you know, in all the sectors 341 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 6: of the economy. You can see this happening. Where you 342 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 6: chase the bottom line, certain things essentially fall apart of 343 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 6: the seeds. You know, certain things may take kicks. We're 344 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 6: seeing it right now. You said it yourself. You know, 345 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 6: Boeing is synonymous with the planes that are in the sky. 346 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 6: Those aren't working. Well there you're going to turn to. 347 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: Well, the New York Times had a pretty damning story 348 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: we were just going through a little bit ago. They 349 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: published it this morning about the culture change of Boeing 350 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: over the last ten years or so and which led 351 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: to those Max eight planes falling out of the sky overseas, 352 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: both of them killing hundreds a few years back. I 353 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: mean there's been a there's a pocation pattern here that's 354 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: been going on for about five six years now, and. 355 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 6: You're starting to see that. In that Seattle Times as well, 356 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 6: they talk about how there's two communication systems an official 357 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 6: one and a shorthand informal one that mechanics use. And 358 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 6: that's how the possible bolts weren't in there, because they're 359 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 6: the lack of communication between those two essens. We're seeing 360 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 6: is not no SLPs that are put in place, no 361 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 6: standard operating procedures that are there and are firmly in place, 362 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 6: which is something that comes from the top down, which 363 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 6: is how you're seeing. Already called for top Wind to resign. 364 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: All right, Ike, thanks for coming on, thanks for having 365 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: me think you okay, Ike Jachi from ABC News and 366 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: that what he was talking about in the Seattle Times 367 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: that was this is this is the origination of the 368 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: story that I mentioned a few minutes ago, which the 369 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: Daily Mail had picked up on in summarized. But here 370 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: here is the original and this is by Dominic Gates 371 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: from the Seattle Times. He's their aerospace reporter and he 372 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: he says the the panel that blew off was removed 373 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: for repair and then reinstalled improperly on the final assembly 374 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: line at their factory in Renton, Washington, and if verified 375 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: by the government, it would leave Boeing primarily responsible for 376 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: the accident. And last week another whistleblower who has access 377 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: to Boeing's manufacturing records on an aviation website, provided many 378 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: additional details about how the door plug came to be 379 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: removed and then misinstalled, and the work of the mechanics 380 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: on the door plug should have been formally inspected and 381 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: signed off by a Boeing quality inspector. It was not. 382 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: It was a process failure. And what I just said, 383 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: there's two separate systems to record what work was accomplished. 384 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: And he described Boeing seven thirty seven per induction system 385 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: as a rambling, shambling disaster waiting to happen, of course 386 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: yet to be verified. All these stories by the NTSB, yikes, 387 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: you don't want to hear that a rambling, shambling disaster 388 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: waiting to happen. Alaska Airline CEO, I'm more than frustrated 389 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: and disappointed. I am angry. And again, it's really the 390 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: only US jet manufacturer we had left. 391 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 5: So what's going on with all the other planes? Not 392 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 5: the ones that are grounded. Are those being inspected carefully 393 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 5: every time before a plane takes off? 394 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 4: Every time? 395 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: Well, the one that was shooting at Flames was seven 396 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: thirty seven, eight hundred. It wasn't even a mask. 397 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying. 398 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 5: There needs to be There needs to be an overhaul 399 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 5: to the airline industry. 400 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: Now, the nosewheel issue, I don't know what model of 401 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: a Boeing plane that was. I don't think I saw 402 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: that in the I'll look it up, but I don't 403 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: think I saw that in the news stories. I mean, well, 404 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: you know what if they have shoddy production and shoddy inspection, 405 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: the whole manufacturing process a rambling, shambling disaster, it's going 406 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: to affect all the planes. That's right. 407 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 5: So maybe people, including myself, we need to stop stop 408 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 5: flying for a while until the problem gets fixed, before 409 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 5: people die more people die. 410 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really looks like a systemic problem. 411 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's terrifying. 412 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: More coming up John Cobelt's show. 413 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM 414 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 3: six forty. 415 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: We're on from one until four, and then after four 416 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: John Cobelt on Demand, which is the same show.

It's 419 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: a trial that's been going on for the past week. 420 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: The guy Marcus Eures who shocked six year old Aidan 421 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: Leos to death while Aiden's mom was taking him to 422 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: kindergarten in the carpool lane of the northbound fifty five freeway. 423 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: You remember this story May of twenty twenty one, and 424 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: she got cut off by Eresa's girlfriend, Jolanna. The mother 425 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: flipped the girlfriend the bird. A Rese took a fence 426 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: and Arese pulled out a gun fired at Joanna's car. 427 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 1: The bullet hit her son. He was strapped in the 428 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: back seat. Really, really sad, tragic story and one of 429 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: the worst defense cases I've ever seen. But Corbyn Carson 430 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: has been following it and he'll have the latest in 431 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 1: that case. Can you take one more airline story? Debora? 432 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: Can you take one more? 433 00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 6: No? 434 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna read it to you anyway. An American 435 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: Airlines plane was forced to return to the gate because 436 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: of excessive farting by one of the passengers. It was 437 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: going from Phoenix to Austin. Still on the ground and 438 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: before most most people had boarded, one of the passengers 439 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: rode online. I observed this man was audibly disgruntled about something, 440 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: maybe hungover, had a rough day. As soon as he 441 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: sat down, he was grumbling under his breath, and after 442 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: most people had boarded, the guy suddenly said, you thought 443 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: that was rude, Well how about this smell? And he 444 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: started passing gas and it was uh, it wouldn't stop. 445 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 4: So he willed himself to fart. 446 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: Yes, he got he got mad. I guess he was. 447 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: He was kind of being unpleasant in his seat. 448 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 4: But how did okay? 449 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 5: But but I mean, you could be mad right about something, 450 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 5: But that doesn't mean that you can fart on command. 451 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: Some people can't. 452 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 4: I get. Wow, that's a talent. 453 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: I bet you Ray can. Yeah, that's true. So this, 454 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: this person who posted said, the man who purposely farted 455 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: moments ago then decided to loudly and condescendingly say yeah, everybody, 456 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: let's just eat the smelliest food possible all at the 457 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: same time. And somebody said, if you don't like it, 458 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: you can fly private. And the fart guy says, that's 459 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: so effing rude. Another one says, I think we all 460 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: agree that you're the rude one here. I was gonna say, so, 461 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: now there's a big argument going on. The plane was 462 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: taxing down the runway and the pilot stopped the plane 463 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: and a flight attendant came back and escorted fart Man 464 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: off the jet. 465 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 4: What is wrong with people? 466 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: He said, I don't understand. Light attendant says, we'll talk 467 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: about it off the plane. 468 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 4: What do you mean you don't understand. 469 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 5: You're sitting there saying you're going to fart throughout the 470 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 5: whole flight, and you're yelling at people, and you don't 471 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 5: understand why you're being escorted off the plane. 472 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: The other passenger said people were on edge about what 473 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: he might say or do next. So there was a 474 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: delay of about thirty minutes, but America American Airlines handed 475 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: it quickly. 476 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 4: And don't say this guy's a vegan either. I don't 477 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:27,959 Speaker 4: think he is. 478 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: Probably No. How do you fuel that kind of behavior? 479 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: I don't know. 480 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: But broccoli and asparagus that's what keeps that going. Now. 481 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: Of course, California's bullet train is supposed to eventually replace 482 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,479 Speaker 1: airline travel. Right then we don't have to deal with bullying, 483 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: and we don't have to deal with Fartman. And in 484 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: the San Francisco Chronicle today there's a piece about how 485 00:30:54,800 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: California's bullet trains will feature dining cars with bars, areas 486 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: for families with children, and tiered seating like airlines. This 487 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: is all to travel from Baker's Field to Mercet. This 488 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: is what they're excited about. Bakersfield to Mercette is gonna 489 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: have a dining car in case you get hungry. There's 490 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: gonna be rows of flex seats and sliding tables. It's 491 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: gonna look very much like Amtrak retractable laptop trays. And 492 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't see anything really innovative here though. The uh 493 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: I mean about how much you're gonna drink between Mercet 494 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: and Bakersfield, Well, I could drink a lot. If those 495 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: are the destinations, you might as well. They're gonna have 496 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: comfort seating, cocoons, seating, slightly elevated, semi enclosed window seats 497 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: so you'd have more privacy, and they're also going to 498 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: premium seating with space and legroom. The goal of our 499 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: interior design is to create an iconic experience. 500 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 7: Isn't it supposed to be a short trip though, if 501 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 7: it's a bullet train, Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Like, 502 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 7: how comfortable do you need to be for a short trip? 503 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean they say dining car as if you're gonna 504 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: have a three course meal. You're gonna have a steak 505 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: and an appetizer and a couple of rounds of drinks. 506 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: The bullet trains will be ten feet eight inches wide, 507 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: which doesn't seem like that big a deal. And this 508 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: should open up sometime around twenty thirty three if there 509 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: are no further delays. It's supposed to run at two 510 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty miles an hour. Who needs to get 511 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: to Bakersfield that fast? Well maybe if you're escaping, versaid, 512 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: here's another story about a boob in Sacramento. Josh Harder, 513 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: his district includes the city of Stockton. He's been very 514 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: vocal about cracking down on wealthy people who avoid taxes. 515 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: All right, that's his stick. He put out a tweet 516 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,239 Speaker 1: just a few days ago, quick reminder, we should be 517 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: making making it harder for billionaires, harder for billionaires to 518 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: cheat on their taxes, not easier. He also tweeted, the 519 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: richest Americans dodge one hundred and sixty billion in taxes 520 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: each year. It's time they pay their fair share, and 521 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: let's cut middle class taxes while we're at it. It 522 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: was discovered today, Reverend that the representative Josh Harder has 523 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: money stashed in the Cayman Islands, which is a tax havens. 524 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: He's got money in two funds if you look. Somebody 525 00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: looked at his financial disclosure forms and he's got tens 526 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars in something called BVA Fund nine 527 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: and BVA Fund eight. But the key to this here 528 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: is you don't pay taxes in the Cayman Islands on 529 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: your profits. And meantime he spends at least he spends 530 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: his tweeting time saying that the wealthy aren't paying their 531 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 1: fair share. His spokesoul says, well, he has no control 532 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: over funds from his old career because he used to 533 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: work in and venture capital. Cayman Islands does not tax 534 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: corporate profits or capital gains. Make a note of that. 535 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 4: What are you saying. 536 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, yeah. I always wonder about the guys 537 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: who do this, especially as the California. 538 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 6: Oh. 539 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: I talked to somebody yesterday who said, if they ever 540 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: do a wealth tax, yeah, guy's got some money. If 541 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 1: they ever do a wealth tax, I'm out of here. 542 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: I'm leaving the state. And you know, the wealth tax 543 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: is supposed to be everything you own in the world, 544 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: like you could have a beautiful palace in Italy overlooking 545 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: Lake Como with expensive artwork, expensive honors in the garage. Yeah, well, 546 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: California will track you down and tax you. 547 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 7: They're trying to tax o TONI. Yeah, I was telling 548 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 7: you about that. Yes, because his payments are being deferred 549 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 7: and he's not going to live in California anymore, but 550 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 7: they're still going to want the money after he's not 551 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 7: living in California because it was technically California money. 552 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: Because he's right, he'll be paid years down the road 553 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: after presumably he's gone back to Japan or wherever. Yeah, 554 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: but it's for work he did here in America. Yeah, 555 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. I've always been kind 556 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: of confused because I have quite a few friends who 557 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: have moved part time or full time to other states. 558 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: But maybe you know, if you remote work, right, you're 559 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: if you're actually, let's say you're living in Florida but 560 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: working remotely for a California company, who gets the taxes? 561 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 7: Well, professional athletes, they pay taxes in all of the 562 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 7: states that they play games in. 563 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: All right, So when the Dodgers, let's say they go 564 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: to New York, Yeah, they got to pay New York 565 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: taxes for those games. And do they still pay California 566 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: taxes too? Yeah, so they're double taxed. Well for the 567 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: games in California, but when they fly to New York, 568 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: they got to pay New York taxes. Right, Do they 569 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: pay California taxes for the games? 570 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 7: I don't believe so. No, you've got a file in 571 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 7: all the different states that they play in. Itig's California. 572 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 1: You know, at those earning levels, it's fourteen percent tax 573 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: on top of the federal government thirty seven, So that's 574 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: fifty one right there. The New York I know, New 575 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 1: York's and double digits for the wealthy. This is this 576 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: is all outrageous. People are working for a living if 577 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: they're working legally. The stupid bastards in Sacramento have no 578 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: right to the money. And look what this guy's doing. 579 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: He has his investments in the Cayman Islands. Are we 580 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: come back.
