Well. 13 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: Now that Diane Feinstein has passed away, I guess you 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: could say that California's elderly hacks that is long time 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: or just old politicians that are still around to be interviewed. 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: Are Jerry Brown eighty five, it's even older than Biden. 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: If I realized that. 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 2: Originally, and Arnold Schwarzenegger seventy six, NBC News decided, well, 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: you know, since this Asian Pacific Economic Conference was in 20 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: San Francisco, and he had to send all these reporters 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: there because Biden's gonna be there and the President of 22 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: China is gonna be there. You guys gotta write stories, right, 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: you gotta fill up your time with some sort of interviews. 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: So Jerry Brown went to the event, so did Deuel. 25 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger was around for another reason. But Brown was in 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: San Francisco during a summit of the Asian Pacific Nations 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: and they were both interviewed by NBC News. It's a 28 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: shame that we didn't get the audio on this because 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: there's you know, it is kind of a tongue bath. 30 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: They're both sort of seen as the elder statesman and 31 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: with all of their experience looking back. One of the 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: reasons they interviewed Schwartzenegger as John it was just the 33 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: twentieth anniversary of the recall. 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: Yes, that was just last week. Yeah, So. 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: He was interviewed on stage by journalists Oh Man, Carla Marinucci. 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and. 37 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: Of course she had to ask him about Trump right 38 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: off the bat. He didn't really want to say much 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 2: about that, So Schwartzenegger. 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, I don't want to comment now. In 41 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: every single stupid thing that he says, it's Schwarzenegger talking 42 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: about Trump. Now. 43 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: So when he won the recall election, he said, I 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 2: wanted to serve the people. It didn't matter if they're 45 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: Democrats or Republicans, are independent or declined to states. I 46 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: know that I won, and I had to represent all 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: the people, even though my Republican colleagues didn't like that 48 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: because they wanted to be stuck in the ideological corner. Well, 49 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: the problem with Schwarzenegger is, and we went over this 50 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: in real time back then, is that he ran from 51 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: problems and instead just wanted to be popular. So they 52 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: put a huge slate of reforms on the ballot I 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: think it was in early two thousand and five, dealing 54 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: with the pension problem, so many other issues. He hardly 55 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: campaigned for it because it didn't look good in the polls. 56 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: He ran, and then he became the climate change governor 57 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: after that, right in fact, and they hired as a 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: chief of staff a former top Democratic female to take 59 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: over and point him in a different direction so he 60 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: could do better in depolls. 61 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: And then he lied about never raising taxes. After he 62 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: got re elected, he raised taxes drastically, and we ended 63 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: up helping to repeal those taxes with a referendum. So 64 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: that that's why he left in disgrace, was he he 65 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: screwed the people over he lied to them. 66 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: He got re elected after that, which is what he 67 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 2: wanted to position himself for that in two thousand and six, 68 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: he just kind of coasted the last four years. 69 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: He treated his constituents like he treated his nanny. 70 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: That was a chance at that point for really big change, 71 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: and he gave up. 72 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: And he's getting me mad all over again. Sorry. You know, 73 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: passions fade with time, and now I'm all worked up 74 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: again remembering you know what, you know what a just 75 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: what a double crosser. He was a turncoat, a turncoat. 76 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: As for Jerry Brown, one thing that we picked out 77 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: when he was interviewed by NBC News asked for his 78 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: view of Vice President Kamala Harris, who got her start 79 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: in California politics, the writer actually says Brown stiffened a bit. 80 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: I don't know where, but don't you can't well, I 81 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: know where. It didn't happen. 82 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: The Garryalis, ex governor who freely opined on US Chinese relations, 83 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: global threats, and even Gregorian Chance keep reading, had nothing 84 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: at all to share about a fellow Californian who's next 85 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 2: in line for the presidential succession. 86 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: Quote. I do not have a. 87 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: Thought on that topic. He doesn't want funny should say 88 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: that Jerry neither does she on any topic. 89 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: He has bunny of thoughts. He just doesn't have the 90 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: guts to give him. He doesn't want to start a 91 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,559 Speaker 1: big storm. He's eighty five and he's waiting for the grave. 92 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's wanting to ride out the tie here and 93 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: why I would say his silence, though, speaks volumes privately. 94 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: From what I've read, virtually everybody who's ever known her 95 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: doesn't like her. 96 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: I have run into Trump, Paters, Democrats, progressives who they 97 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: don't say they hate her. They just go, what's with that? 98 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 2: How did she get to be vice president? They're just stuck. 99 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm talking about people knew her personally. Most oh, 100 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: most of her staff over the years, as she's gone 101 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: from one level to the next, has has quit on 102 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: her right. Nobody likes working for it, Nobody likes her 103 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: as a person. Even Willie Brown after he was done 104 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: with his Jolly's President Harrison doesn't have anything good to say. 105 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean, she's just got that. She's got that personality 106 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: just drives your way. 107 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: Terry Brown actually got stuck in like the sixties too. 108 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: At one point he was referring to Daniel Ellsberg. Remember 109 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: that the Pentagon papers fifty years ago. Over fifty years, 110 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: NBCWS had to put in parentheses a little reference to 111 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: the Pentagon papers to get people some idea of what 112 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: he was talking about. That part about Gregorian Chance. Brown said, 113 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: I like policy. I like issues, climate, prison, reform, education, water. 114 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 2: I like politics. It keeps you on your toes because 115 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: you can screw up at any moment and it can 116 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: all come crashing down if you say the wrong thing. 117 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: That keeps your heart beating a little faster. 118 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: Oh. I also like monasteries and Gregorian chants. Well there's 119 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: something to admit. Okay, that's weird for a guy. Monasteries 120 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: and Gregorian chants. Do they have concerts with Gregorian chants 121 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: and you can go to or like shows, only monks 122 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: go to those? Is that like what you hear? He's 123 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: a guy wanted to spend his life. 124 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: The monks kind of sing together at of money, mad 125 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: Latin and stuff. 126 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's really weird. Yeah. There was a 127 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: hit record back in the nineties. 128 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: I can't remember the name of it, but it had 129 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: like the Gregorian Chance and it was kind of it 130 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 2: was eerie, but it made. 131 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: Its song unique. Yeah, I know. But guys who like 132 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Gregorian chants and guys and monasteries, they walk around wearing 133 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: robes and no underwear all day. No, here we go. 134 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: He found something, you see Terry Brown just sitting up 135 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: there in the rams. 136 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: In the dark, Yeah, listening to these with no clothes on. 137 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: To me, what I think of right away is a 138 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: horror movie. That's what occurs to me. Somebody's about to 139 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: get stabbed. They probably use this stuff in horror movies, 140 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: especially the religious themed ones. I guess it's supposed to 141 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: be very devout thinking. He's just an old reflection, old weirdo, 142 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: that's what he is. 143 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, So of course Brown was also asked about monasteries. 144 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: Really, what a bunch of men living together wearing robes? Okay, chanting? Wow, 145 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: that sounds really attractive. I'd love to spend the weekend. 146 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's more worried about the public's rested move than 147 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: he is about Biden's age. Of course, Old Joe turned 148 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: eighty one yesterday. Brown said he has nothing to worry 149 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: about until he gets to be eighty five, which is 150 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: what Brown is. 151 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: Well, Brown sounds a lot shore essentially, it's not the 152 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: age it's the condition of the brain. 153 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: As nutty as he is. Yeah, he always had a 154 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: lot of energy and it didn't seem to have diminished. 155 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: He's still based on this printed interview. All right, I 156 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: haven't seen him walking around but trying to find his 157 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 2: way on stage. 158 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: Okay. These thoughts are more coherent that you know. They 159 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: have a beginning, middle, and end than Biden's public mumblings lately. 160 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: Is he the best bet to beat Trump next year? 161 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: And Brown said, I would say he's the man of 162 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 2: the hour. He's there, I mean, but sure what that means. 163 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 2: It means we're stuck with him? Who the hell knows. 164 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: I don't have any great political strategy here for the Democrats. 165 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: It's all very challenging, he continued, and then he mentioned 166 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: his no thoughts on Kamala Harris. Yeah, well, because she 167 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: should have asked him about Newsom. They did not like 168 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: each other either, Remember that we got winded that years ago. 169 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: Victory Brown not a fan of Gavin news I will 170 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: Brown doesn't like all the right people. 171 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: Well, he always went his own way, which sometimes be fuddling. 172 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, but there was there was there was something authentic 173 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: about him, and I think he's really repelled. I read 174 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: a good word to describe a newsom smarmy. 175 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: Anybody who lies like that should not be listened to. 176 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: It's smarty, smarty. 177 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: It is coming at all with the big words, and 178 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 3: the opposer a fake, right, and I think and Brown 179 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: is completely nuts. But he seemed to recoil from people 180 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 3: who were really obviously fake. 181 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: Yes, I did pick that up and Jerry, you and 182 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: I met him. Yeah, at least one occasion, I remember 183 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: that many years ago. But oh, and the last part, 184 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 2: I just want to mention. Schwarzenegger now has an institute 185 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: in his name at the University of Southern California. Remember 186 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: the think tank. I guess it's still there. The mission 187 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 2: is to promote postpartisanship. How's that going solving real world problems? 188 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I mean he's the one who designed One 189 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: of his stupid ideas that did pass was to have this, uh, 190 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: these primaries where all the Republicans, Democrats and everybody else 191 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: is all on one ballot together and then the top 192 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: two go to the final Oh yeah, and all it 193 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: did is produce super majorities of Democrats that came from 194 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: what that idiot who wanted to be governor? What was 195 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: that state senator's name, Abel Maldonado, and that's the deal 196 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: that he made the Torsnagger to get his tax and 197 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: then that was it. Then Republican Republicans were completely shut 198 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: out of governing and Sacramento. No other party replaced the Republicans, 199 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: and it became a monolithic culture up there. And we 200 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: really went in the sewer. And that came from Schwarzenegger's house. 201 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: Tony poll are still at the think tank? Is he 202 00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 2: still contributing to the thing. 203 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: So he's still trying to think. He's taking the listening tour. 204 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm listening to it. He's sitting there grunting and just 205 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: trying to burp out of thought. 206 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 2: All right, we got to work up it up. Johnny 207 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: kN KFI AM six forty live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 208 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 209 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 210 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: All right, So the voters of Los Angeles, now it's 211 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: more clear, got fooled the endless well that is spending 212 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: on the homeless homeless industrial complex. 213 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: We call it. 214 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 2: Billions and billions of dollars spent, not enough, So they 215 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: looked for a new way in the city of Los 216 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: Angeles to drain even more money from taxpayers, and they 217 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: put on the ballot measure ULA I think that stands 218 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: for you to night LA. But it's a property transfer tax. 219 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: And when they sold it to the voters, they basically said, 220 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: this is just going to soak the wealthy. This is 221 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: only going to affect people who have very very expensive 222 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: homes for sale. If you have a property costing between 223 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: five million and ten million, the transfer tax is four 224 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: point four to five percent. When it gets above ten million, 225 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 2: it jumps to five point nine five percent. Now this 226 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: is above and beyond anything else you're going to pay 227 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: to transfer the property. 228 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: They got it. 229 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: Passed, and now what we learned, and we learned this 230 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: because Chicago is thinking about putting the same measure on 231 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: its ballot to try to get out of there. They're 232 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: calling it bring Chicago Home Transfer Tax. It goes before 233 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: a vote in that city in March. But we learned 234 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: from Los Angeles Councilwoman Nitia Rahman that quote, well, we 235 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: marketed it as a mansion tax, and that's what made 236 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: it easy for voters to get behind. But now what 237 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: we've learned, it goes after commercial properties too, office buildings, 238 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: shopping centers and industrial warehouses, apartment buildings where renters could 239 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: get hit with these increases when the apartment changes hands. 240 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't just soaking the wealthy. It ends up soaking 241 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: renters because if the taxes are heavy on a rental building, 242 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: renters are going to have to pay higher rents. And 243 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: if you're soaking business owners, they're going to have to 244 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: charge you more for their goods and services. So the 245 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: Chicago Tribune did a story on what plan they were 246 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: trying to pass in Chicago, and they went to Nitia 247 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: Rahman and she explained how she and the others in 248 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: her progressive circle fulled the public. It was marketed as 249 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: a mentioned tax, marketed not that it was a mansion tax. 250 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't bart. 251 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: I don't think we even focused on the commercial aspects 252 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 2: of this as much as just the private real estate sales. 253 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: I don't remember maybe even we were, because they said, well, 254 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 2: it's all going to affect millionaires and billionaires one how 255 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 2: many people sell properties for more than five million? 256 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: Because who covered this other than the El Segundo propaganda 257 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: times And I bet you if we go back and 258 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: look at their coverage, that part was not prominent, and 259 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: they did not dissect exactly that if you go after 260 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: commercial buildings and you go after rental buildings, that it 261 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: would jack up prices for consumers and it would jack 262 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: up rents for renters. Because what you need when you 263 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: promote propaganda is you need media outlets to amplify the propaganda, 264 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: and that's what we have here. And I bet you 265 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: the TV stations barely covered this because it would be 266 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: too complicated. 267 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: So they talked to a guy with the California Business 268 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: Properties Association of Matthew Hargrove, he's the CEO, and he said, 269 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 2: without doing a lot of digging, you're going to find 270 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: out this was a disaster for LA real estate. It's 271 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: a market. Markets react to taxes. They're not coming anywhere 272 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: near their promise numbers. That's the problem with doing policy 273 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: at the ballot box. LA officials had predicted the first 274 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: year of this new city, higher transfer attax would rake 275 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: in six hundred and seventy two million for homeless services, 276 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: and proponents those really pushing this on the ballot and said, 277 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: oh no, we're going to rake in nine hundred million. 278 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: Well as of October one hundred million for six months. 279 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: So you doubled that two hundred million. That's well short 280 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: of those two predictions. 281 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: Well after the UH tax went into effect the month 282 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: of April, only two mansions worth five million or more 283 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: were sold. In March it was one hundred and twenty 284 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: six people sold to beat the deadline, and then after 285 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: the deadline, the market dried up almost entirely, from one 286 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six to two. And that's house. See, 287 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: most people who have made a lot of money and 288 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: they have expensive homes or condos are smart people, or 289 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: they hire smart people, and for them it's not hard 290 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: to do math. For political hacks, it's very hard to 291 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: do math. They're not good at numbers. Nithia Rahman is 292 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: really bottom line of communist, so it's not surprising she 293 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: wants to soak the rich and soak property owners. You remember, 294 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: communists don't believe that you should own private property, and 295 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: most of the people behind this measure are basically communists. 296 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: Communist is having a resurgence in this country, just like 297 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: anti Semitism is. It's starting to look like that. You know, 298 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties again, nineteen thirties, nineteen forties, nineteen fifties, 299 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: there was a lot of this stuff. I guess the 300 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: old generation died out and there's no public memory of 301 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: what life was like under communism, what life was like 302 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: when Jews were being slaughtered, And so that's why you 303 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: have rebounds because a new generation doesn't know. 304 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: And there you have a ten million dollar property and 305 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: you get hit with this five point ninety five percent 306 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: transfer tax that is six hundred thousand dollars. Now they're 307 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: gonna say, well, that's just pennies to a billionaire, But 308 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: you know, if you're involved in commercial real estate where 309 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 2: you know, margins can be tough, particularly if you're in 310 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: an apartment building or a shopping center or something like that, 311 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 2: six hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money that's 312 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 2: going to affect your decisions and your timing offends me. 313 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: It's not not Nithia Rahmin's business. Just because she doesn't 314 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: have the talents and intelligence to make millions or billions 315 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: of dollars, she promotes law that denies other people from 316 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: enjoying the profits that they that they make. Who the 317 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: hell is she? She's like a little a little gnat 318 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: on your rear end, buzzing around, trying, trying, trying, to 319 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: take from you what she herself cannot create. She doesn't 320 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: create wealth, She's never created a dime of wealth in 321 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: her life. So what is this her wacky theory? Well, 322 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: I just I don't think it's fair. It's not up 323 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: to you. Who aren't you? Who are these people? 324 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 2: It's thinking that some people are just putting off selling, 325 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: or they're hoping maybe a court case overturns the tax hike. 326 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: Or and I think a recent one was not good news. 327 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 2: I think it was upheld, or they just price it 328 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: if they're in that range at just under five million, 329 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: so there's no transfer a tax. 330 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: At like four point nine to ninety nine million, right, 331 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: just to give them the finger. Yeah, and that's and 332 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: that's that's the tricks you have to pull. But you 333 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: know it should get it should get repealed. It's not 334 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: producing the money, and the money is going for what 335 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: to pay more criminally crooked nonprofits. I mean, that's the thing. 336 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: The money just goes into a black hole and enrichest 337 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: people who are in the in the fraud industry.

It's clearly. 341 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: But I just love the way she said. And we've 342 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: known this for as long as we've done this show 343 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: that people will vote for a tax that does not 344 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: affect them. A statewide sales tax, gas tax they're not 345 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: too happy with. But you know, oh remember the tax 346 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: on millionaires from mental health services and Darryl Steinberg twenty 347 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: years ago work you don't see mentally ill peep on 348 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: the streets. 349 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: No, it's been a miracle.

And just 354 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: one quick story about that. Mental health taxes came up 355 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago. They were trying to move 356 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: some of that money out of there into housing and 357 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, wow, don't we hear every day we have 358 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: a mental health crisis. 359 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: We don't have enough mental health workers and psych facilities, 360 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: and yet they wanted to take money from the millionaires 361 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 2: tax and move it over to more of their crazy 362 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 2: housing ideas. That tells you all you need to know 363 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 2: about how hopeless and useless that they are. 364 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: But we'll be more.

And 456 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: I met this couple to leave. They were going on 457 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: a weekend vacation. And then they watched as the housekeeper left, 458 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: and it was a Friday afternoon, and they figured, okay, 459 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: these people are gone for the weekend, because they saw 460 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: the couple walking out with suitcases. And then they saw 461 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: the housekeeper look like she was done for the day, 462 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: and they climbed out of the Amazon truck, went inside 463 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: and looted the place, loaded it up on the truck, 464 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: and drove off. Wh So just because you're wearing a 465 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: service uniform doesn't mean you're not a bad guy. 466 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 2: Well, the next thing that happened was it's unclear why 467 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 2: his permit they called him ccw's was suspended. And the 468 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: first stories I saw LAPD was denying that they did 469 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: anything because they didn't issue it, nor did they revoke it. 470 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: So we made our way back to the Los Angeles 471 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 2: County Sheriff's Department and they confirmed with the sheriff puppet 472 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 2: Luna in charge that they suspended his permit. 473 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: The department's been in. 474 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 2: Contact with him and his family about permit protocols. 475 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean? 476 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: There were avenues for mister Ricci to reapply for his permit. 477 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: The permit may be immediately reinstated as long as the 478 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 2: permit holder has also followed or required ctc W policy. 479 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: It's gibberish. There's the Sheriff's department is punishing him for 480 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: defending himself and his family. That's what they do. 481 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 2: There's a rumor, which is the story covers that perhaps 482 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: he got a little angry with them and they might 483 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: be punishing him when they were discussing the incident with him, 484 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 2: perhaps they didn't like his behavior, but nobody's. 485 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: Can front of that they didn't like his behavior. 486 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, he may have gotten like, well you asking me 487 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: questions for he had he and the guy that was 488 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: gonna get robbed my family's inside. 489 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: I just did what I had to do. He had 490 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: two guys with masks and with guns, and they didn't 491 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: like his behavior, so he's given a gun time out now. 492 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 1: And I like the way we're spending all the time 493 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: on this and not the search for these these robbers. 494 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: Where are they?

The two people who jumped over 503 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: a wall into Ricci's home, and there's a third man believed. 504 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: To be a driver, are still at large. So they 505 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: had really planned this operation. They had a getaway driver 506 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 2: and anything and everything, and I guess they just picked 507 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 2: this man's home. And in some cases that could be 508 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 2: exactly why, because they saw him going up to his 509 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 2: front door and said, let's just bum rush this guy 510 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: right inside the house and take all their stuff and run, 511 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: rather than having to break into the house. Maybe that's 512 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: what they were thinking. Little did they know he was 513 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 2: going to turn and fuck U's go on? 514 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: And how many how many times do you think these 515 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: two armed men were arrested in the past. How many 516 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: times do you think these guys were spun out of 517 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: the jail system. 518 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 2: Like that guy we learned about last week because they 519 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: arrested how many times was it over fifteen months? 520 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: Eight times? Five times? Robberies? We now we have a 521 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: whole category, and this is thousands of them, thousands of 522 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: bad guys who are arrested and never even prosecuted. Because 523 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: George Gascon has thirteen thousand unprosecuted cases on his desk. 524 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,439 Speaker 1: So this is you know, and they're going to tell you, 525 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: like recidiism, right is rarely down here. You know, there's 526 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: a very small percentage ended up in jail after they're released, 527 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: of course not you. You no longer put people in jail. 528 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: That's thirteen thousand times somebody potentially should be put in jail, 529 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: and it's now a big zero on the scoreboard because 530 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: of Gascon. 531 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ricci said, I acquired the glock the right way. 532 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 2: They granted me the right to carry it. Now they're 533 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 2: stripping me with the with the men at large that 534 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: were looking at looking for me, the sheriff's attempt. 535 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: Now, if coming after me seems petty, it is petty. Yeah, 536 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: He's absolutely right to use the gun and they had 537 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: no right to take it away. What he got mouthed 538 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: he with a cop who cares? Are cops that fragile? 539 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 2: Really, guys, Jack may just as he may have yelled 540 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: at or criticized during the investigation, that doesn't say, but 541 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: nobody is sure. 542 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: Whether or not that's the reason. Yeah, what could he 543 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: possibly have done wrong? 544 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: They didn't respond to questions about why they revoked the permit. 545 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: This is what this is what they do in government. 546 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: Everybody shuts down, nobody wants to talk about it, and 547 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: a guy like him can't can't even get an answer, 548 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: let alone his gun back. 549 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 2: You're going to see more of this because this is 550 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: what people need to do now that we have a 551 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: lot of criminals running, you know, and time and time 552 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,479 Speaker 2: again they try to playcate you by telling you the 553 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: crime is not going up. 554 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: They must be laughing their ass off. Two guys who 555 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: accosted him, because all these guys keep track of the news. 556 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: They see that he's in trouble. He lost his gun. 557 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: This is an invitation for these two guys to come back, right, 558 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: what do you think they're gonna do? They're gonna come back.

And yeah, the gun. 568 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: The gunman comes right up behind him and bumps him, 569 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 2: and you can see the weapon clearly in his hand. 570 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: So RICHI just turns his drink goes flying and boom 571 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: boom boom.

We have more reports and more updates on 585 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 2: what's going on over the years that property under the 586 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: ten Freeway where the fire went off and to burn 587 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: the freeway so that it was closed for about a week. 588 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 2: There's still more stories coming out about the inspections it 589 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 2: took place, and including one inspector who said unequivocally evict. 590 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: They've got to be evicted. It's a very dangerous situation. 591 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: So who's going to explain to all of us why 592 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: after they produced paperwork that says this is a danger, 593 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: sure must be evicted, why no employees actually evict these 594 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: companies or at least remove the combustible materials. 595 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's got to be an emergency way.

Well, we have to go through the proper 598 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: channels and file the legal documents and go to court 599 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 2: and get an order. 600 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: But that's not what this is a huge public, public emergency. 601 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a fire emergency, and you can 602 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: do that immediately. Like I said, think of a nightclub 603 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: that's two crowded, fire marshal comes in, people start heading 604 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: for the front door.

Get all the wood palettes and 608 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: all the other chemicals or whatever was flammable and sanitis 609 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: are my favorite hand sanitizer out. So did they just 610 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: not feel like it? Were they tired? Was it more 611 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: comfortable to lean back in the chair, put your feet 612 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: upon the desk and nap. Why why would you possibly 613 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: not get that all that dangerous material out of there? 614 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 2: All right, we'll get into the details of this.

Nice, 621 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 2: We'll talk about another different shooter. Apparently a Ukrainian sniper 622 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 2: took out a Russian soldier from nearly two and a 623 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: half miles away. Cool, how do you even what's the scope? 624 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 2: How do you even get a bead on this person 625 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 2: that you're shooting at? 626 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: It? 627 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 2: It's a high tech rifle.

Two 662 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 2: figures can be seen in the footage, and after three 663 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: shots are fired, the two figures dropped to the ground 664 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 2: before starting to crawl away. 665 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: It's unclear when and where the shot was made though. 666 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so they must have had some kind of 667 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: telescopic lens.

The shot marks a distance that now 671 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: ranks second in the world ranking confirmed by the Command 672 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: of the Armed Forces in Ukraine. So that's that's quite 673 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: a feat. Yeah, and you know what, and it freaks 674 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: all the other Russians fighting in that area out now 675 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: because they don't know if that sharpshooter is lurking within 676 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: two miles. Yeah, and that every time their head is 677 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: poked up that this guy could take it off. Yeah. 678 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you might think you're safe because you've got 679 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 2: other soldiers and tanks in front of you, but. 680 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: I realized that's a. 681 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 2: Kind of a low tech way to take out the 682 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 2: enemy a sniper one at a time. But you're right, 683 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 2: it probably sends terrors. No, yeah, it's the soldiers, it's 684 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 2: the terrains. 685 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it completely demoralizes because now they al must walk 686 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: around constantly looking over show. But you can't look over 687 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: your shoulder and see a bullk coming from two miles away. Yeah, 688 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: it's one thing is if you're doing combat and you 689 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: look up on the roofs and see the sharpshooters right, 690 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: and you look for movement on the roofs and then 691 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: you can take cover. You can't do this here. 692 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 2: I had heard that the Ukraine was going to use 693 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 2: this tactic, that they had quite a number of sharpshooters 694 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 2: in their military, and that this was another way. Because 695 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: you know, when you're clearly outmanned and out obviously the 696 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 2: Russian army has many weapons at its disposal, the Ukrainians 697 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 2: had to come up with all possible ideas, and I 698 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 2: had heard just when the war was beginning that one 699 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 2: of their ideas was to use snipers to good effect, 700 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 2: particularly to get like the leaders of the Russian troops, 701 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: to try to take out, you know, some of the commanders, 702 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 2: which really also sent a chill for the enemy. 703 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm looking at the video again and it's all 704 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: wide open space and it looks like they're walking the victims. 705 00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: The victim is walking just inside a ridge across the way, 706 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: and you can see him suddenly go down, and then 707 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 1: the other two guys he's with suddenly drop as well. 708 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: To start to crawl away because they don't know where 709 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: it's coming from. 710 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, this has the this has become the forgotten war 711 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: with now Israel against Thamas. I see a story today. 712 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: More than ten thousand civilians have been killed in Ukraine 713 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 2: in this war so far. It's been at a stalemate 714 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 2: for most of the year. It has They're not pushing 715 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 2: the Russians back anymore, and the Russians are not getting 716 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 2: gaining any more grounds. So how long are they going 717 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 2: to do this and spend the money and feed their 718 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 2: young men into the grinding machine. A lot of Ukrainian 719 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 2: guys are getting out of the country because they don't 720 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,439 Speaker 2: want to. They don't want to get a draft notice. 721 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 2: I see one story here families of Russian troops protest 722 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 2: Ukraine war, but they'll probably be dragged away. 723 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just but remember they were on a rock 724 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: war a long time ago, went out for eight years 725 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: and it was a stalemate, it was a still But 726 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: they just did that because the leaders don't care if 727 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: all their young men get killed. It doesn't matter to them. 728 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,840 Speaker 1: All these leaders are sociopaths. They had they you know, 729 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: doesn't bother their conscience. They don't feel regret. You know, 730 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: it's just the way you got to do business. And 731 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: so they they and you know, they're spending everybody else's 732 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: money anyway, So taxpayers keep paying for the war, and 733 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: they they keep giving up their their young, their young 734 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: sons to be shot to death or bombed or whatever. 735 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 2: And I see another headline here that Russia will not 736 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 2: coexist with the current Ukrainian regime and they will resist 737 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 2: the strength of the NATO military alliance. They will not 738 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 2: they'll not put up with the with the Zolenski and 739 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 2: his crew in charge. 740 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: We've given them tens of billions of dollars, but it 741 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: was only enough for a stalemate. The only way for 742 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: Ukraine to win is we've got to dramatically increase the 743 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: money we're giving them, right, and we're already you know, 744 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: trillions in debt. So you know, there's no good answer here. 745 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: When you have a murderous, homicidal maniac, genocidal maniac like Putin, 746 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: these guys get the run of the place. Look how 747 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: long Hitler, Look how many people Stalin killed in Russia? 748 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: It was like twenty million people, all right, when we return. 749 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 2: More details are coming out about what was exactly underneath 750 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 2: the ten Freeway which caught went up in flames just 751 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 2: about a week or so ago, and we now know 752 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 2: about all the details of the inspections, what they found, 753 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 2: and what they did and did not do.
