Got a 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 2: couple of stories for you, but the one that broke 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 2: on our show last night concerned the Los Angeles Police 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: Department a sergeant. Apparently, it's not clear to me whether 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: he lost all of his pinky or part of his pinky. 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: The different stories give different details, but Steve was on 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: top of this story late in the show yesterday, patrolling 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: the Metro redline at Santa Monica Boulevard and Vermont Avenue 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: in East Hollywood. It happened yesterday morning. Let's bring Steve 13 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: on for more detail on the story. 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: A crazy guy a bit at least part of his 15 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: pinky off Steve. 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 4: Then the guy, thankfully is doing well. We're talking about 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 4: a sargant with the LAPD. He was also injured in 19 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 4: his forehead, was severely bruised in his forehead too, I 20 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 4: was told. So we are getting a lot more detailed 21 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 4: than we had yesterday when we broke the story. It 22 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 4: started yesterday morning around ten fifteen, when the sergeant and 23 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 4: two officers noticed this man boarding the Red Line near 24 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 4: the Santa Monica Vermont station or ant Cinamonica promot station. 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 4: Rather saw him boarding with drug paraphernalia, which is basically 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 4: he had a meth pipe and some other stuff on him. 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 4: So they went on the board or on the train 28 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 4: to confront him, and as they were escorting him off 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 4: the train back onto the platform, that's when he became 30 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 4: agitated and turned violent. This is the lapeds version of 31 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 4: the event, at which time the sergeant had had his 32 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 4: hand near enough the suspect to where he was able 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 4: to fight off a portion of his right pinking And 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: we're told that the man also was injured so much 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 4: that he was also taken to a hospital, but the 36 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: use of force and the nature of the injuries were 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 4: not disclosed. But I will tell you that the sergeant, 38 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 4: I was told by people with knowledge about it, was 39 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 4: pretty upbeat about the whole thing and took it in stride. 40 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 4: I mean, he kind of made he was joking around 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 4: in the er, and so he's going to be fine. 42 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 4: The two other officers were not injured, that we were told, 43 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 4: but another source close to the story also told me 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 4: that the man that bit off the finger of the 45 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 4: cop had just been arrested recently, and I'm not sure 46 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 4: what the crime was. I couldn't get that, but it 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 4: was enough to where it landed on the desk of 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: the district attorney's office, and the district attorney, according to 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 4: the source, failed to prosecute. 50 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Prop the case. So Gascone is connected to this missing pinky. 51 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: It would have it would seem that there is some 52 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 4: sort of a correlation between the a crime that was 53 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 4: committed recently by the same individual. And I've not been 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 4: told the individual's name, but I was told given a 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 4: complete description of his of his background, but I wasn't 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 4: giving a lot of given a lot of specifics. And 57 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 4: that's what we're working on now. But they just for 58 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 4: fear of they don't want to give out too much information. 59 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: But well, is there a reason for that, because why 60 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't they tell us all what happened? 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 4: Well, it's not my sources responsibility to just to give 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 4: up everything just enough to get me moving. So I so, yeah, 63 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 4: they're making me work a little harder than. 64 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 5: Than I have to. Then I should that I want to, 65 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 5: but but they did give me but they and you know, 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 5: and then you know, I have to kind of say, well, 67 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 5: you know, you know, as this legit or are you 68 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 5: just pushing a narrative here and. 69 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 6: Like doing it? 70 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 4: No, no, no, trust me on this one. This guy 71 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: was arrested for something. It was bad enough that it 72 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 4: landed on the DA's desk, and the DA's office failed 73 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 4: to prosecute, didn't want to prosecute. 74 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 6: How recent was that? 75 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: Do you know? 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 6: All he was told was recently recently. 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: But by the way, this is a homeless guy, right, yes, yeah, 78 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying everywhere experiencing homelessness. 79 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 6: I'm sorry. 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: And so this was simply because the cops approached him. 81 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: He was he had to paraphernal. He had the drug parafernia. 82 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: So the cops approached him and they were what were 83 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: they going to do with him? 84 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: Well, they were steaming off the train, right because there 85 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 4: was all this conversation about the tap card and the 86 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 4: tap card they were doing the patrols for tap cards, 87 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 4: but that was happening at the platform level. And as 88 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: you know, anytime there's breaking news, information is a little 89 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 4: garbled and now a sequence, yes, and so they were looking, 90 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 4: you know, they were looking for people for tap cards 91 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 4: and people that were sort of jumping the turnstiles and 92 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: all that other stuff. And then they noticed this guy 93 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: with a meth pipe walking onto the train. And then 94 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: that's when they went on the train and said, hey, 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 4: you know, come with us. And when they were coming 96 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 4: off the train, the guy snapped and then just got violent. 97 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so he wasn't already exhibiting agitation. It's after 98 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: they tried to get him off the train.

The biggest increase in crime there, 156 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 2: you go, right from that story, was from drug use. 157 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: Now you gotta worry that you go on a Metro 158 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: traine and you're gonna walk off missing a body part. Somebody, sorry, boss, 159 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna bite off a body part. That's the new 160 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: cost of taking a Metro train. 161 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: Exactly. It could happen to you. Channel seventh story on this, 162 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: they spoke with some writers Treasure, it's a good name, 163 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: Treasure Cockrell. I keeps pepper spray on me. I've seen 164 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: and heard people acting out in certain ways that make 165 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: me feel unsafe. Then Cockrell, though said, the past couple 166 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: of weeks it feels better. As I said, they're trying 167 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: to step up patrols because it's gotten pretty ugly. And 168 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: I think there was a big story that came out 169 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: a few weeks ago we talked about it that really 170 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: shone the spotlight on this.

They want to get you to 223 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: take the train and the bus.

Isn't that shack before it's trying 228 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: to kill a day. So it's one of the reasons 229 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 2: we emphasize these stories. They're out of their minds. I 230 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: mean that guy I just talked about who takes the 231 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 2: train from Norwalk has been mugged twice. Once is enough 232 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: for me, right, even if I dare to even do 233 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: this as part of getting to my work, if I 234 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: ever got mugged once, never again. Yeah, I took the 235 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 2: New York City subways for many years. I never was 236 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: a victim of any crime. I never even saw any crime. 237 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: But you know, those days were probably well, some of 238 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: those days were ugly. 239 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 6: I was back in the eighties and nineties. 240 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: But anyway, it seems to run in cycles in New York. 241 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: But right now, no state and no city has been 242 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: more aggressive in trying to make driving around miserable with 243 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: California and Los Angeles, and they only have one answer, Well, 244 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: you take public transportation. Of course, public transportation sucks in 245 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: many ways, but the biggest suck of it is you 246 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: might get killed or get you're disfigured. 247 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: And another thing about that, I wouldn't take New York 248 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: City public transit. Like at one in the morning, when 249 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: it's a packful of commuter is doing rush hour, there's 250 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 2: not a lot of crime. The problem here is that 251 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: there's really never that many people on some of these 252 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: trains even during the day, so you could easily be 253 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: a victim because they're gonna look around and say, all right, 254 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: I can take this guy. 255 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 6: You know what's really awful. 256 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: They know this, but they've Metro is a huge bureaucracy 257 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: with lots of people living off tax money and fair money, 258 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: and they don't really care if people use it or not. 259 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: Obviously they don't care. Well, if it gets shut down 260 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: and goes out of business, they would care, but it's 261 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,479 Speaker 1: never going to because the government owns. 262 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 6: It, so the government's invested in it. They're never going 263 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 6: to shut it down. 264 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: Most of New York City's transit loses money, right, So 265 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 2: they just lose money. 266 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 6: Right, So they just they just raise taxes, that's all. 267 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: So they make the fares too high. They'll drive off 268 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: the lower come people that use the thing. 269 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 6: You see the spiral that they're caught in. What was 270 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 6: the now? 271 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, remember the tax that Garcide pushed a 272 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: few years ago that's stupidly passed. 273 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 6: I think it was called Measure M that went to Metro. 274 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 6: A lot of that money it. 275 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: Did, Yeah, yeah, for what That was his way of saying, 276 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 2: we're going to lighten the traffic load because we're going 277 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: to put people on subways and buses with the extra money. 278 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, well that was a big lie.

They were taking pictures and 300 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: causing commuters to plead with them, let the doors close. 301 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: We're late, we got to get to work. Well, when 302 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: boys joined their other friends, Lewis said, they zeroed in 303 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: on him as he was seated near the group and 304 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: began to taunt, harass, throw stuff at him. He said, 305 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 2: no matter what happened, he tried to just keep his 306 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: head down, looking at his phone, waited for the last stop. 307 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: Then he tried to walk in the opposite direction from them. 308 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: He really thought this out.

Well, the boys turned left on the platform, 311 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: so Lewis decided to take the emergency exit in the 312 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: opposite direction. But as he was getting off the train, 313 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: he got whacked with a kid skateboard and he turned around. 314 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: He said, did you just hit me with your skateboard? 315 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: At that point they began yelling at him, pulled out 316 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: his phone.

Maybe not 343 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: the smartest thing to do it, because one of the 344 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: teens raised his hands above his head with his skateboard 345 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: and slammed him down on Lewis's head, and there's actually 346 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: a picture of the stitches that he took to the 347 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: top of his head. 348 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: There, Yeah, Lewis says to the guy, you just cracked 349 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: my skull as the blood began rushing down his face, 350 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: and the team still kept taunting Lewis. 351 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 6: And he's also. 352 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: Eleven fifteen am, by the way, just so you have 353 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 2: an idea.

They can replace these far left progressive 430 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: committee members, or they can use a legal mechanism to 431 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: force a vote on the floor.

And I don't know 510 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: what moment in life for what governor, or what's the 511 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: moment where everyone's going to realize, wow, this was a 512 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: load of horsemen door. There's not enough electricity that's going 513 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: to be made to cover all these electrical vehicles. 514 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 2: So here are the numbers for you, which is kind 515 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: of fascinating. At the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, 516 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: there are roughly thirty sorry, twenty thousand cargo trucks that 517 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: come in there, twenty thousand trucks or have access to 518 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: transport freight from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. 519 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: How many of those twenty one thousand trucks are electric 520 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: or battery electric seventy two and we've got one hydrogen 521 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 2: fuel cell truck one one, So that's. 522 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 6: What we're looking at. 523 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: Would that probably mean that ninety nine point five percent 524 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 2: of all the trucks are just good old diesel. It's 525 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 2: and that's often what you need because there's real questions 526 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 2: about how much freight you can hold in an electric truck. 527 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 2: We don't know really what to how much how much 528 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 2: good they can do anyway. Yeah, that's still being tested. 529 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 6: And also, electric vehicles don't work very well in cold weather. 530 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 2: Yes, fortunately we're not as cold as to have other 531 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 2: parts of the country. 532 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: But yeah, but these trucks come in from all over 533 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: and they have to travel all over, oh. 534 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 6: Right, to get to bring the goods to other places. Right, yeah, 535 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 6: we do. 536 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 2: It comes into the California ports and sometimes that has 537 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: to be well, what I would do is just to 538 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: use the electric truck to get the goods at the 539 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: port and transform to a good old diesel somewhere to 540 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: take them to other stake. I know, I wonder if 541 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: that's within yourna have trucks, you're gonna have California only 542 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 2: trucks as Oh, that wouldn't surprise me. 543 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 6: No, it wouldn't surprise me either. And it'd start years 544 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 6: ago with California only car emission rules. 545 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you don't have chargers in all these other 546 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: states because all these other states don't have these crazy 547 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: policies mandated electrical vehicles, whether it's trucks or whether it's cars. 548 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: The other states aren't doing this. So when once you 549 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,719 Speaker 1: leave the confines of California, where are you gonna get 550 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: your vehicle charged. You can drive into Arizona, Nevada. How 551 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: do you how do you get the fill up on 552 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: the electricity. This is not a this is not a 553 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: national policy. This is a California only policy. 554 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 6: It's stupid. Wow. 555 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: In the timeline for state and local government fleets is 556 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: really short. By twenty between twenty twenty four twenty six, 557 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 2: half of the fleets have to be zero emission by 558 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven, all public vehicle purchases, right. 559 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: And that must be zero. And that's all tax money. 560 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: And the tax money is now gonna float to these 561 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: politically connected electric vehicle companies now who are donating like 562 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: mad so they get a piece of the pie. If 563 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: you want to get let's say Santa Monica's electrical vehicle contract, 564 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do. 565 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 6: You're gonna bribe. 566 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: Every politician in Santa Monica, so they vote the contract 567 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: your way, right, and all that is tax money. So 568 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: this is the racket. It's like it's like fake homes, nonprofits. 569 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 2: Something else we've seen that could also increase due to 570 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 2: this move. Port business is going to move away from 571 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 2: southern California. It already has because of all the problems there. 572 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 2: We've covered this many times before. They want to automate 573 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 2: more at the Los Angeles Long Beach Ports, and the 574 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: union is fighting at that time. I think they settled 575 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: on some stupid contract, but that's been a big sticking 576 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: point a lot of ports around the world. 577 00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 6: There's a lot of. 578 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: Automation in Asia, so some of the business has already 579 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: been moving to other ports, even though they may have 580 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 2: to travel further. They're going to go around and take 581 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 2: their business to ports and make in the South LA ports. 582 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 2: Those unions are living in the nineteen thirties. There are 583 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: one hundred years behind with their attitudes and eventually companies 584 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: are just going to go. So they're against techt automation, 585 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: but they're in favor of moving to all electric trucks 586 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 2: to take the goods. 587 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 6: It's really upside. 588 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: Down and bizarre, as if it doesn't cost them jobs, 589 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: they don't care, right, They only care about the stuff 590 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: that's going to cost them jobs, and so they're running 591 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: an increasingly antiquated operation in LA and Long Beach. 592 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: Night Well, it looks like PEPSI received twenty one Tesla 593 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: All Electric Trucks and Sacramento for their bottling plant. 594 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 6: Oh, look at that. 595 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: Most were paid for by a local air Quality District 596 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: grant of four and a half million dollars tax Mond. 597 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,959 Speaker 6: So our tax money bought PEPSI twenty one trucks. 598 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: See lost of a Teslas Semis around two hundred and 599 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 2: fifty thousan twice the cost of a diesel Trump. 600 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: You know what, you would not have Elon Musk being 601 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: a fraction as rich as he is if it wasn't 602 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: for government subsidies for electrical vehicles. Elon Musk and Tesla 603 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: are a creation of government subsidies. That's where most of 604 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: their profit comes from government subsidies and the and the 605 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: benefits they get by trading their carbon credits. 606 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 6: Yeah. 607 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: That that's a huge percentage of his success, which nobody 608 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: wants to talk about out loud. 609 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,239 Speaker 2: Now what we do, Johnny Ken k if I AM 610 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 2: six forty live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 611 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 612 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 3: AM six forty. 613 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 2: All right, more on the federal wars and Sacramento. This 614 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 2: time it is remarkably Democrat against Democrat. We've told you before. 615 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: In the state Senate there were twenty one supporters. There's 616 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: only forty state senators twenty one sounds like a majority, 617 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: doesn't it, of a bill that would go after fentanyl 618 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: dealers and eventually could charge him with homicide. He'd got 619 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 2: blocked by the Public Safety Committee. We got a little 620 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: war going on between a member of the Public Safety 621 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 2: Committee and one of those who was behind the bill 622 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: to punish the dealers. 623 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 6: Will get to it after the news at two o'clock. 624 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 2: All right, story there was big a couple of weeks ago, 625 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 2: comes back around for an update.

A lot of people have wondered, 629 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 2: not just because he's young, how did he get that 630 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 2: kind of security clearance. What came out in court filings 631 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: this week is that he's gone on quite some rants, 632 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: and again he's only twenty one.

He discussed wanting to make a 635 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: minivan into an assassination van. He apparently had access to 636 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: an arsenal of weapons and handguns, both action rifle shotguns. 637 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 6: Wow. 638 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 2: Gas mask ammunition, all of which he kept in his bedroom. 639 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 2: Back in high school, he made comments about using molotav 640 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: cocktails and other weapons on people. 641 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 6: You know, he was a mass killer waiting to happen. 642 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:27,719 Speaker 2: People wondered when supposedly they called this extensive wetting. To 643 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,719 Speaker 2: get a job like he had, the military has to 644 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 2: do extensive betting. Didn't nobody take a look at his 645 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: social media crap or talk to anybody that knew that 646 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: he was this weird and violent? 647 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: Or is there another story here? Because this wouldn't be 648 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: hard to find. And they do do extensive background checks. 649 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 6: Oh they do. I am familiar with. 650 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: People who've gotten security clearances, and yes they do it. 651 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 6: He had a SCI clearance that stands for top secret 652 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 6: Sensitive compartmented Information. It's one of the highest less military 653 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 6: and intelligence security clearance is available. Yeah, he had it 654 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 6: because he works in it. But that shouldn't be enough 655 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 6: for that simple A lot of people be working in 656 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 6: it in the military. 657 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess somebody's got to handle the infrastructure, though, 658 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: And so if you're going to handle the infrastructure, you 659 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: got to have a clearance to look at what you're handling. 660 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: So and you know much of the much of the 661 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: military are people under twenty five. 662 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 6: There should be a way to block you from either 663 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 6: downloading it or moving it, or there should be some 664 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 6: other Just because you're an it guy responsible for maintenance 665 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 6: doesn't mean you can actually access and see the details 666 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 6: of all the documents. That just seems wrong. There's got 667 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 6: to be. 668 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: A well I don't know enough about how like a 669 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: porn block or something. 670 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 6: I don't know about how that system works. 671 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: But I think that there's another story here that this guy, Well, yes, because. 672 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 6: Are you going to take us in a conspiracy hole? 673 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 2: No? 674 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: No, No, he knew somebody who made it happen. He 675 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: had some connection to maybe a minded employee embedded in 676 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: the system. Oh somebody. Yeah, because if you did a 677 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: normal vetting process, there's no way he'd get it right. 678 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: And going on social media is easy, that is step 679 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: one on the protocol. 680 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 6: Easy to find out what people are posting exactly. 681 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: And this stuff is so insandiary you can't interpret it 682 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: any different way. 683 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 6: Clearly, he's mentally ill. 684 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: Clearly you don't want secrets with a mentally ill, potentially 685 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: violent person who really looks I mean what he wrote 686 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: is and what he has in possession is very much 687 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: the stereotype for a guy who shows up at a 688 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: school or a workplace and mows down twenty five people. 689 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 6: So how did he get it? He had a friend somewhere. 690 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 2: You think he had a friend to help him get 691 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 2: this position, or he had a friend he got the documents. 692 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: He somehow he must have known somebody, and maybe it'll 693 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: come out, you know, when they do the investigations who 694 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: got him the approved m it's a good theory. Well, 695 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't. It doesn't make any sense because normally, when 696 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: you do these kind of vettings, there's more than one 697 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 1: person who has to look at the reports and who 698 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: has to do the investigation. So you you would have 699 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: to involve a number of people who would overlook or 700 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: ignore or you know, allow this to go forward. And 701 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: I think most of the people in this line of 702 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: work are very serious guys because this rarely happens, which 703 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: is why I got big headlines. So it makes me 704 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: think that he had somebody who is capable of giving 705 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: him a security clearance without says. 706 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 2: Here, screeners would have interviewed people who knew him and 707 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 2: ask those people from more references on him. Yeah, they 708 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 2: believe that Tashera had a stepfather in the military that 709 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: probably was viewed favorably and helped him. 710 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I would. I would think it's just some kind 711 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 6: of personal corruption going on. 712 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 2: There's also a report here that he had Russian military 713 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: penitence and stuff in his bedroom. 714 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 6: Right. A photo shows a pennant burying the insignia of 715 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 6: the Russian military's General staff hanging in a bedroom in 716 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 6: the house, right kind the enemy with Ukraine. Right. 717 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: See, that's the thing. There's too much of this. It's 718 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: not like there's one little thing that slipped by. There's 719 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: lots of big things that slipped by, which means he 720 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: had somebody in a powerful office stamp and application now 721 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: and got him approval. 722 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 2: Air Force investigators in the FBI will now be tasked 723 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 2: with determining what was missed in screening this guy a 724 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 2: lot apparently. 725 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're seeing. That's their cover question. But 726 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: I think the real question is, Okay, who did this? 727 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: Who did this for him? 728 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 6: Now? 729 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: All right, as soon as we return, we're gonna update 730 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 2: you on the Fenteryl crisis in California and the lack 731 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 2: of action and Sacramento, particularly by members of the state 732 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 2: Senate and State Assembly public safety committees. There's a little 733 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: flare up between a Democrat on the State Senate Public 734 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,759 Speaker 2: Safety Committee and one that is not on the committee 735 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 2: that supports new penalties for fentanyl dealers, including possibly murder charges. 736 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 6: John and KENKFI AM. 737 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 2: Six forty Live Everywhere, iHeartRadio app and Debormork Live in 738 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 2: the twenty four hour Cafe Israem.
