1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Kf I AM six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. A

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: reminder that the Moist line is still there for you.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: We're going to play calls tomorrow, so you're running out

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: of chances for this week's collection. Use the iHeartRadio app,

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: the microphone icon, or call the toll free number one

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: eight seven seven Moist eighty six one eight seven seven

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: six six four seven eight eight six.

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: Well, here's the trick. The the whatever is made up

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. I'm not presuming Joe is involved

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: in this. Keeps claiming that illegal border crossings are at

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: their lowest point in over two years. And of course

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: all the public relations outlets that work for Biden and

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: are disguised as mainstream media, they amplify these claims. We

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: have Mark Recrying on from the Center for Immigration Studies

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: to tell us what the truth is and because don't

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: fall for these headlines or these White House announcements. Mark,

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: how are you.

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: I'm doing very well? Thanks for having me.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Well, what is the truth? Because the truth is go ahead, Well, I.

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Mean, it's what the administration is saying is true as

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: far as it goes. The number of people arrested by

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: the Board of Patrols sneaking across between the legal ports

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: of entry is down. Now, it's still ridiculously high. It's

25
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: about one hundred thousand in June, which is about three

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: thousand a day, and one thousand a day is what

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: Obama's Homeland Security secretary said was unsustainable. So put that

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: to one side. A thousand a day is already terrible,

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: but it's clearly down. It's about the level it was

30
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: the first month Biden took over. But and here's the

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: important part. The reason this administration was able to engineer

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: that statistic is because they have gotten prospective illegal aliens

33
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: to schedule their illegal immigration through an app called the

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: CBP one app. CVP the agency that oversees border patrol

35
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: and so you can schedule your illegal immigration come through

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: a port of entry. And so the administration says, hey,

37
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: it's legal. What's the problem except they're letting these people

38
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: go once they get into the United States. It's just

39
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: a shell game.

40
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: What kind of numbers are we talking Mark, what kind

41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: of numbers are we talking with the app?

42
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: In June, forty five thousand people came across through non

43
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: in other words, inadmissible people with no visa, no nothing,

44
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: came into the country through regular ports of entry. That's

45
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: triple what it was the previous June, quadruple what it

46
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: was the June before, highest number ever, and mis administration

47
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: keeps increasing the number of people that they are saying

48
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: can come in through.

49
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: The APP and then doesn't tick in the day then

50
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: it was yeah, and doesn't count it as illegal border crossings.

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: No exactly. That's the whole point is they're just changing

52
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: the definition, calling it something else, and voila mission accomplished.

53
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: And then you get a headline that says illegal border

54
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: crossings down to their lowest levels. So this, this whole,

55
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: this whole thing is is rigged. It's a scam. There's

56
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: there's even at this lowest number, it's still at an

57
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: unsustainable number. But then you got to add another fifty percent.

58
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: He had to add another fifty percent to the number.

59
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely, and frankly it's you know, look, I'm no

60
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: you know a fortune teller, but it seems to me

61
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: both of those numbers are going up. The administration keeps

62
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: increasing the number of people illegal aliens they will take

63
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: in through the CBT one app and the number of

64
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: people illegally crossing. If you look at the border patrol

65
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: arrests of non title forty two people, remember Title forty two,

66
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: it went away a couple of months ago. It was

67
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: because of COVID and the border patrol. When they got

68
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: those people, they were able to just bounce them right

69
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: back across the border, no fuss, no bother. Well, if

70
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: you count only the non title forty two arrests at

71
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: the border, you look back over the past several years,

72
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: this is one of the highest numbers ever. So it's

73
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: not the highest, but it's pretty close to it. So

74
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: you know, where's the success here. This is purely an artifact,

75
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: a fake thing they have engineered. Again, they're not fixing

76
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: the numbers. This isn't dominion voting machines or anything.

77
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: This No, they're just breaking them up. They're breaking them

78
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: up any category. So the average person isn't even able

79
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: to follow this bingo.

80
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 3: It's exactly what's.

81
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: Going on yet about the optics, right, because that massive

82
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: people at the border is just not a good thing

83
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: to show America.

84
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: That's always been its administration's approach. It's not that they

85
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: want to reduce the flow of illegal aliens. It's they

86
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: want to make the news stories about it go away,

87
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: and this is how they're trying to make that happen.

88
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: What they say is that they're opening new lawful pathways,

89
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: except there's nothing lawful about letting in a person who

90
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: has no right to be here and then just letting

91
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: them go into the United States. It's illegal. It's just

92
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: I wrote a peace on this a few weeks back,

93
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: and what I titled it was Biden to aliens, colon,

94
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: don't break the law. I'll do it for you. So

95
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: the aliens are not sneaking across the border, which is

96
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 3: which is illegal. They're coming to a port of entry.

97
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 3: It's the Biden administration that's breaking the law.

98
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: Are their challenges to this, Yes.

99
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: There's the lawsuits, two of them to sort of different uh,

100
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 3: you know, wrinkles of it, and you know, we'll see

101
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: what happens.

102
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Is the law What is the law they're breaking by

103
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: allowing the illegals to schedule their illegal immigration?

104
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: Yes?

105
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the ILL the Immigration and Nationality Act says that

106
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 3: if anybody who is inadmissible comes either to a port

107
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 3: of entry or sneaks across the border illegally and then

108
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: says they want, you know, asylum or their fear persecution,

109
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: they must be detained during the entire course of their proceedings.

110
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,679
Speaker 3: That's the point, that's where the law is being broken.

111
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: These guys are letting people go, many of them with

112
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 3: where they're giving work permits to uh and then you know,

113
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: in twenty thirty three or something, they'll have a hearing.

114
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: And you know, it's all they're not exaggerating much, are.

115
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 3: You don't know, in New York City, if these people

116
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 3: said yeah, I'm going to New York City, they say, okay,

117
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: you go. When you get to New York, call Ice

118
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: and turn yourself in. That's literally what they're saying. And

119
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: in New York Ice has said, we can't accommodate you

120
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: turning yourself in until twenty thirty three.

121
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Literally ridicularly well, I mean, since a Biden administration overturned

122
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the Trump border policies, why didn't they

123
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: think of this a couple of years ago before they

124
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: got all this bad optics at the border.

125
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I mean, first of all, they were

126
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: told that this was going to happen, because you know,

127
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: during the transition period after the election, before Biden took office.

128
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: This is the way every administration works. The outgoing people

129
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: in the incoming people have meetings and they say, okay,

130
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: here's those key to the bathroom. Here's what's going on.

131
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: The Homeland Security people said, please, for the love of God,

132
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: don't do what the present than it said, because it's

133
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: going to be a disaster. These guys they were warned,

134
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: they knew better. They figured, no, no, we'll take care

135
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: of it. It's manageable. We're experts. Well, you know, this

136
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: is what happened. It blew up in their face, and

137
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: they're not even that displeased about it.

138
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: I think you are. I think it's likely this is

139
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: what they wanted. They don't want the political blowback that

140
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: costs them votes. No, no, this it's a perfect situation.

141
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: They want the bodies coming in here from all these

142
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: foreign countries.

143
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean Tucker for instance, and a

144
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: lot of other people have said, well, they're doing this

145
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: because they want to import voters and what have you.

146
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: I don't believe that. I mean, they'refore importing voters. They

147
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: don't mind that. But that's not really what this is about.

148
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: What this is about is that this crowd the people

149
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: running immigration under this administration. I won't say that Biden

150
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: because Biden has nothing to do with it, but I

151
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: mean the people they appointed, they don't believe the United

152
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: States has the right to keep anybody out. So if

153
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: nobody comes, well that's okay. I mean, in other words,

154
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: they're not going to go and shanghai people to move

155
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: here illegally. But they don't think that we have the

156
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: right to say no to anyone who comes to our border.

157
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: And so this is the result is this is this

158
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 3: is bound to happen, and they're living in sort of

159
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: an alternate universe where they think they can manage this.

160
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: So we're the only we're the only country not allowed

161
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: to have a border.

162
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 3: Basically, that's what it amounts to. Well, look, we're evil

163
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: and we have to you know, confidence, that's usual stuff.

164
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: That mark That's what I think when I hear them

165
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: use that term a humanitarian crisis, that's their way of saying,

166
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: we just got to let them in because they're suffering

167
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: so much to America has to save them.

168
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and America is evil and it's all our fault anyway.

169
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: And so basically what they're saying is this is great,

170
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 3: but it's also bad and we deserve it to happen

171
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: to us.

172
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: You know that.

173
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: Anyway, Yeah, I mean it's not going to change until

174
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: the root cause changes, and the root cause of sitting

175
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: or nape in the Oval office.

176
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: All right, Mark, it's always a pleasure to talk to you.

177
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: You really give us a great info of what's really

178
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: going on. Thanks for coming on.

179
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: Thank you.

180
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: All right, Mark Greccory and the president of the Center

181
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: for Immigration Studies. On the little Lachelle game, the Biden

182
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: administration's playing with what's going on at the border.

183
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: They're just classifying people that they can come into the

184
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: country illegally legally, right, you can schedule your illegal immigration.

185
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: Did you see that Biden has one of those seat

186
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: pat machines that he sleeps with. Yes, that story came

187
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: out a while ago. Did you see today's story.

188
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: No, they're going to use lower stairs on Air Force

189
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: one so he doesn't trip. Politico says his advisors had

190
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: privately acknowledged an intentional shift to steer the president to

191
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: lower stairs to make it easier for his travel and

192
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: limit the possibility for missteps.

193
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean literal misteps. But have you ever seen anybody

194
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: sleep with one of those masks?

195
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: On and I still commerci now where you can have

196
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 2: some very low invasive procedure done.

197
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: You don't need those masks do that work. I knew

198
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: a guy who had one of those masks. And the

199
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: machine makes a lot of noise too, Oh it does.

200
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: It sounds like somebody's in their last breath. It's the

201
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: respirator going. It's like a breathing machine and intensive care.

202
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: All right, when that's just mock Biden because he has

203
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: a seat pap ma, she what's wrong with you? Yeah,

204
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: Devora Mark make a noise? Go ahead. That was a

205
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: fail that was That was a misfire. There really was,

206
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: and it was pretty wet. Did you take too? You

207
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, try it again? There you go there? All right?

208
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Now your chance at money is next.

209
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: Johnny kenk if I AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

210
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

211
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

212
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we spent a lot of time on

213
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: this story. But it was May of twenty eighteen. This

214
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: is the bombing at the day spa in a Piso

215
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: Viejo and it killed a woman who owned the spa.

216
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: Her name was Ildico Kranjak, forty eight years old. She

217
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: opened a cardboard box she founded the day.

218
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: Spa, and it exploded.

219
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: There was a couple of customers in there, a woman

220
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: and her daughter, who were seriously injured, but they did live.

221
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: When we started to examine this story more closely, we

222
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: learned that apparently she was breaking up with a very

223
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: distressed and deranged rocket hobbyist by the name of Stephen

224
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: William Beale. So you quickly put two and two together.

225
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: She died from a bomb. He's a rocket hobbyist. He

226
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: would seem like a prime suspect.

227
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: Yep, don't date a guy who's able to build explosives.

228
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: Rockets are explosives. Yes, well, the motive.

229
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: Is he resented her, so he killed her. In early

230
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, he was sending her texts saying he was

231
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: getting anxious about whether she would leave him. He threatened

232
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: to kill himself when she said I need more space.

233
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: On a trip to Portugal two months before the explosion,

234
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: apparently he discovered that she'd been seeing other men, though

235
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: he continued to send her love notes. One of them said,

236
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: I saw your face and that's the last I've seen

237
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: of my heart. That's from a song, isn't it John?

238
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: I saw your face and it's the last I've seen

239
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: of my heart anyway.

240
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: Oh, now what song is that? It's gonna bug me.

241
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: I thought it was like Stevie Wonders. I just called

242
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: to say I love you. No, no, nineteen seventy song.

243
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,479
Speaker 2: Oh you are the woman Firefall.

244
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: Oh that's it. You're right, you are the woman. Did

245
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: you get help with that? Yeah? Eric knew I did

246
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: not Ray help me. Ray new Ray Firefall. That Ray

247
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: knows all those cheesy seventies love songs. He's a big

248
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Barry Mantel, huge Barry Manilo fan. Nothing gets Ray more

249
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: excited than Barry Manilo coming to town. Oh, Barry Madeline amazing. Yeah,

250
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't strike He was a sentimental guy, but he

251
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: isn't great. Doesn't seem like his core audience. He says

252
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: he's a fanolo. That's what they call this. He still

253
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: does Vegas shows. He still does Vegas shows. Oh, he's

254
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: got a residency there. Yeah. Yeah, he plays for months

255
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: at a time.

256
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't Oh, they laid out the case because this

257
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: is weird. There was already a trial for this guy,

258
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: and the jury was deadlocked. But the case is pretty

259
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: easy here. He had decades of experience in rocketry. He

260
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: had skilled in electronics and chemistry that made it possible

261
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: to build a bomb without blowing himself up. He wants,

262
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: Oh jeez, he once built the bomb Deba to eliminate

263
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: a neighborhood gopher.

264
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: Wow.

265
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: When he searched his home, they found one hundred and

266
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: thirty pounds of explosive precursor chemicals, explosive mixtures, and wires

267
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: of the same type used in the blast.

268
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so here's another dating tip. Don't go out with

269
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: a guy who blows up gophers. He just wanted to

270
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: help shack right. Yeah, uh, well they you know that

271
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: the shitty uses carbon dioxide on the gophers in my park.

272
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: That's that's sick too. Yes, gophers really get a bad deal. No,

273
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: but I know, but they're such hole diggers. They can

274
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: cause a lot anyway. That sounds awful. They're hole diggers. Yes,

275
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: there's got to be another phrase.

276
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: The defense attorney, what a job this was? Megan Blanco said, Oh,

277
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: come on, he's nothing more than a hobbyist. He just

278
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: tinkers with rockets and pirate technics. That you rushing to

279
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: judgment Is he a bomber?

280
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, way.

281
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: He invited investigators to the house to search his computers.

282
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: That's why would he do that if he was the killer?

283
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: That's the defense argument. Oh no, that's well, I'm not

284
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: quoting that quote. Is does it make him a bomber? No, No,

285
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: it's a very common hobby.

286
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: No, she says, is it a very common hobby? No

287
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: it isn't. But doesn't make him a bomber? No, it doesn't.

288
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: Just just what's your defense for your client? Oh no,

289
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: he wouldn't do this. It's not a.

290
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: Defic someone who wanted to set all this up. Oh,

291
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: she's she tried to claim someone was setting him up, the.

292
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: Real domarble story. She did it because they wanted to

293
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: kill her and make it look like he did it. Uh.

294
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: He faces at least thirty years in prison and the

295
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: possibility of life in prison, which we know is not

296
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: going to exist in California.

297
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: It looks like the unibomber's son in the mugshot. They yeah,

Speaker 1: had Mark krinon for the Center for Immigration Studies about

310
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: the Biden administration manipulating the illegal immigration members to make

311
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: it look like it's not bad when it is bad.

312
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: This cannot go unnoticed. The Mayor of New York, Eric Adams,

313
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: is basically announcing the end of the sanctuary city era,

314
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: claiming we have no more room in the city. You

315
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: will be warned that there's no guarantee that you can

316
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: access any shelter or any other city services. They're going

317
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: as far as distributing bilingual flyers at the Mexico border

318
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: to dissuade people from coming to New York. Don't just

319
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: be homeless on the street. The flyers warned the migrants

320
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: that housing is very expensive. The cost of food, transportation,

321
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: and everything else is the highest in the United states.

322
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: The New York Times says the flyers do not convey

323
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: much compassion. They don't discourage legal immigration altogether, but they

324
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: ask the border crossers to consider another city.

325
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 2: What about the ones that are being sent there from Texas?

326
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: Are they going to be turned away then? Or those

327
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: buses that were coming in, I don't know what are they?

328
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: You wondered when the breaking point will be the stupid,

329
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: stupid mayor there he embraced all this at first, right,

330
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: he continued the sanctuary city policy, and then he couldn't

331
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: believe the huge numbers. Last I heard, he was claiming

332
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: it was about eighty five thousand people. There's nowhere to

333
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: put them. They couldn't take care of their own homeless

334
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: in New York City and they have no money. Yeah,

335
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: they've got no money. It was costing like eight million

336
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: dollars a day, and now it's now there, now there.

337
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: I guess they're flying employees to the Mexico border to

338
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: hand out flyers saying don't come to New York but

339
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: stupid ass. What just an incredible block ad.

340
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: And I remember he tried to send some to the

341
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 2: suburbs too, right, he was kissing them north Yeah, right,

342
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: he was this quick story. I just saw a note

343
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: of Wow, that's gonna be tough for this child. An

344
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: eighteen year old Miami woman is accused of trying to

345
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: hire a hitman to kill her three year old.

346
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

347
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: She went to a parody hit for a hire website.

348
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: Law enforcement set it up as kind of a sting operation,

349
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: and she actually thought she was getting a real hitmand.

350
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: She was willing to pay three thousand dollars for them

351
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: to take him a far, far away and possibly be

352
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: killed asap.

353
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: Nice.

354
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: Wow, fortunate the child was living with his grandmother, But

355
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: I guess she wanted to just offload this responsibility permanently,

356
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: and I know tried to hire a hit man to

357
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: kill he.

358
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: Imagine the moment dead kid discovers. Yeah, Well, the day

359
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: will come when that story. Maybe he'll run into it online,

360
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: or somebody will tease him with them, or mom hired

361
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: a hitman to get rid of off you.

362
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 3: Wow.

363
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: Well.

364
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: We have many favorite columnists at the El Segundo Times

365
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: over the years. Just recently, Anita Chabria is one of

366
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: our favorites. Right Robin ep Kerry and we love Yes.

367
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 1: Steve Lopez still has an occasional uh you know it's

368
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: all his now are about getting really old? Did you

369
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: read them?

370
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: A lot of his columns now because he is old,

371
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: so his columns are about being old.

372
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: It's fascinating to read about a guy writing about Is

373
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: he that old that's totally writes about I think he's

374
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: close to that. He's like that guy in the park

375
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: who just wants to talk about all his physical problems.

376
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: Well, they say, write what you know. Isn't that one

377
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 2: of the rules of writing. You have to write what

378
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: you know, what you feel. I know, if that's his

379
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: life experience, Yeah.

380
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: I knew. I knew a guy like this. He was

381
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: He was a dad at the school. He's actually since died.

382
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: But I met him accidentally at a restaurant, right and

383
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: he sat down and he talked to me for half

384
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: an hour and everything was about his medical problems. And

385
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: he's talking to me about his surgery and how they

386
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: opened up his gut in his chest and they had

387
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: to remove him no self awareness. Nobody wants to hear that. No,

388
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: it was a half an hour and it was really grizzly.

389
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: It really detailed. He had something terribly that was going

390
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: terribly wrong in there.

391
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: It's like and you put up with this, I would

392
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: have just said, oh, I'm k needed over there.

393
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: See I'd known the guy Tangiby. I have a call

394
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: I have to take bye. I knew the guy tangentially

395
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: for years. He was a nice guy. I do that

396
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: all the time. Sometimes at parties, I'm like, Oh, I

397
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: gotta go, I gotta go to the bathroom. Sorry I do.

398
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm not to give up my life that I was trapped.

399
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: That was in the middle of eating lunch. You gotta

400
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: take your plate with you. God.

401
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 2: Well, this guy, though, is fantastic. His name is Sammy Roth.

402
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: He's got the crazy hair. He covers energy for The Times. Yes,

403
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: he's the environmental kook. He writes some boiling point newsletter.

404
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 2: The reason we're talking about him today, and I thought

405
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 2: of this the other day. We haven't had flex alerts

406
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: yet with this heat. Remember that's very common. They have

407
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 2: the flex alert. They want you to cut back on

408
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: your power usage after like four PM.

409
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: To spare the grid. Well, the title, and this is

410
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: a really really long column.

411
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: Would an occasional blackout help solve climate change?

412
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: No? Most that's most response he got from people he

413
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: talked to about it. That's what's funny. He went through

414
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: this long, long winded explanation of how an occasional blackout

415
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: would work, and then at the end he runs this

416
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: idea by everybody, We're all like, are you kidding?

417
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the first paragraph is ridiculous. What's more important

418
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: keeping the lights on twenty four hours a day, three

419
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five days a year or solving the

420
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: climate crisis? That really isn't either or choice, is it.

421
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is where you take issue with the premise.

422
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, we're not all going to die from overheating,

423
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: so stop it. You made up a fake premise.

424
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: Oh, he writes, people that are lucky enough to have

425
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 2: air conditioning. Air conditioning is pretty prevalent. It's society lucky enough.

426
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: You go to work and you save up two hundred dollars.

427
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: There you go, you have air conditioning. Anybody can save

428
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: two hundred dollars. The dumbest guy on the planet, even

429
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 2: Sammy Roth, can save two hundred dollars and get himself

430
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: an air conditioner. So that's see, these are bogus concepts.

431
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: The one they're lucky enough, that's a luck. Everybody owns

432
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 2: an air conditioner. Work for the air conditioner. Let's they

433
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 2: won one in a contest. Well, he got one thing right.

434
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: If you're a politician and you're in charge, when the

435
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 2: power goes out, you're dead.

436
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: Good. I remember Gray Davis, right, the late Gray Davis. Yes.

437
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: Yes, And of course Newsom has struggled with this too,

438
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: and that's why he made that deal to keep the

439
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: gas plants open in case we need them.

440
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: That may have been one of my favorite moments in

441
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: the news sub administration when he went into full panic

442
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: and started keeping nuclear plants open, reopening gas plants, he

443
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: stole electricity from uh that Arizona. He saw the ghost

444
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: of Gray Davis.

445
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: Well, this guy says, uh, and this is kind of

446
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: his argument that we got to shut down these gas

447
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: plants because we'll have disastrous temperature jumps. So if we

448
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: shut down the gas plants, what he's saying is that

449
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: we may have an occasional blackout because the grid won't

450
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 2: be strong enough and big enough yet from based on

451
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 2: solar renewables. Really, what he thinks that the storage battery

452
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: storage may eventually save us. Okay, good, Well, until then,

453
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 2: you let us know when that's ready. Okay, we're all

454
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: looking forward to the battery storage issue being resolved right

455
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: right now. That works for a few hours, right on

456
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: a very limited basis, So tell me when that's perfected.

457
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: You know what.

458
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: But he makes a good point. Faced with more blackouts,

459
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: people might turn against clean energy. Yes, that's the possibility.

460
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: He's right about that, and we will, We absolutely will.

461
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Because you originally promised that you could use wind and

462
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: solar to take care of all our needs and that

463
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: it was going to be cheaper. It's not cheaper. It's

464
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: more expensive, and he lied about that in the story.

465
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: And it's not reliable at all, and we're more likely

466
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: now to have blackouts. So everything that was promised was

467
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: a lie. And this is what I keep telling you

468
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: about the incrementalism. They make a bunch of saying, oh, no,

469
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: we'll do a solar and wind and you know, maybe,

470
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, we'll have some you know, some growing pains

471
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: with it, but eventually everythings work out. It's like, no,

472
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: eventually they say, hmm, can we maybe live with some

473
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: occasional blackouts here? It's like, uh, huh, No, you're not

474
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: following that one. You said it was going to be

475
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: a smooth transition, it was going to be cheaper and

476
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: easier and all that you lied. Now we're gonna come

477
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: for you. Jesus. He got out on and on in

478
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: this column. This is the longest column about nonsense ever

479
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: written in American journalism. Sammy is basically it's a war

480
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: on the gas plants. He's really he wants those gas

481
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: plants eliminated, and he says, well, to do that, we

482
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: just may have to take a blackout of Oh I

483
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: don't think we are No, No, Sammy, sorry, in fact,

484
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: I don't. Why don't you take your communist ass to

485
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: China and goal complain to them. They're opening coal plants

486
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: almost every week in China. Oh did you see what

487
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: they said to carry what well carries our envoy?

488
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

489
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, climate.

490
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 2: Basically, they said, we're going to do this on our

491
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: own schedule. You're not going to pressure us in terms

492
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: of cutting back, which means no, we're going to keep

493
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: building coal plants. What is wrong with Sammy Roth's tiny

494
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 2: little pellet of a brain that he doesn't understand that

495
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: a nation with almost a billion and a half people

496
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: is opening coal plants constantly and that's going to overwhelm us.

497
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: Turning off one gas plant in Glendale, which is the

498
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: original part, the original premise of the story. There was

499
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 2: a fight over a natural gas plant in Glendale. It's

500
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: really I don't think Glendale can take on the whole

501
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: nation of China.

502
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: All Right, we got more coming up. Johnny knkf I

503
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

504
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from k

505
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 4: I AM six forty.

506
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: Oh.

507
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 2: We just got an email from the Los Angeles County

508
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: Public Health Department, Barbara fair John there is a small

509
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: sign of increasing COVID.

510
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: Be aware of the summer search and take precaution the

511
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: summer search.

512
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: The summer search, they said it's happened a couple of

513
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: summers in a row. Cases and hospitalizations increased relatively sharply.

514
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: The Propaganda Times said two days ago that it was

515
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: at its lowest level. This is new information.

516
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: They just had an uptick in the last week's worth

517
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: of chest just Monday.

518
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: Since Monday. Yes, the results just came in this week,

519
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: and they want to put out the word that we

520
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: might be in the middle of a third I saw

521
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: a mask walking out of the building today. When I

522
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: did you know the mask? Huh, person? It was just

523
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: a mask, just a mask. Walking.

524
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 2: We have talked many times, and I have the joke

525
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: that eventually we're all going to be carrying narcan because

526
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: it'll be our job to revive all the drug addicts

527
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: spread out all on the streets. Because you know what,

528
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 2: the war on drugs was a failure. That cliche enforcement

529
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: doesn't work, just like with homelessness. So let's take a

530
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: new approach. Right, what is the word they use for it,

531
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: John harm reduction? Yeah, right, right, that's their new So

532
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: let's give them a place to shoot up their needles,

533
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: like a safe place where they can take the drugs,

534
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: and let's stand by with narket. Well, we take it

535
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: to Oregon, and Oregon passed something called ballot Measure one

536
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: ten that's eliminated criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of

537
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: any drug, including cocaine, heroin, and meth.

538
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: They're exceptionally stupid in Oregon. No criminal penalties for cocaine, heroin,

539
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: and meth. Now, let what do you think happened? Just

540
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: off the top of your head, what thing happened?

541
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: When the policy went into effect early the next year,

542
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: it lifted the fear prosecution for the state's drug users

543
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: and launched Oregon on an experiment to determine whether a

544
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: long sought goal of the drug policy reform movement, which

545
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: is decriminalization, could help solve the drug problems.

546
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: Stupid idea.

547
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: This article in Atlantic says it hasn't exactly gone that way,

548
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: and people are.

549
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: Really turning on not exactly non Measure one. In fact,

550
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: last year, Oregon experienced one of the sharpest increases in

551
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: overdose deaths in the nation, had the highest percentage of

552
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: adults with a substance use disorder wow. During one two

553
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: week period last month, three children under the age of

554
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: four overdosed in Portland after ingesting fentanyl. So there you go.

555
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: That's the triple crown overdose, massive overdose increases, highest percentage

556
00:29:53,680 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: of adults with addictions, and kids, little tiny toddlers overdosing. Unfetnail.

557
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: What else you want to do?

558
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: The term harm reduction appeared five times in the ballot

559
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: text of Measure one.

560
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: Reduction. All you have to do is chant these religious

561
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: phrases of people and they go, oh, yes, harm reduction. Sure,

562
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: and you try to get to an exciting Let's say

563
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: you basically legalize the worst, most destructive drugs that humans

564
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: have created. How is that harm reduction. It's harm reduction.

565
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: It's harm reduction. Just repeat after me, harm reduction, harm reduction.

566
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: If you leave people to their own devices, the people

567
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: at the lower end will just continue to use die.

568
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: Do people understand human nature? Humans are dumb animals. They're

569
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: easily bored, and they take anything that's gonna give them

570
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: a high or a buzz or send them into an

571
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: alternate reality so they don't have to be responsible. Because

572
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: because working every day is a pain in the ass,

573
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: maintaining relationships are a pain in the ass, paying your

574
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: bills is a pain in the ass. Why not go

575
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: into this incredible haze, this this incredible dream like state

576
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: where you could just pass out from fetidel maybe a

577
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: little xylazine and is in is in that, and then

578
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're, you're, you're, those open wounds start

579
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: breaking out on your on your body.

580
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: So basically, they just started giving out tickets and most

581
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: of them got ignored and a lot got dismissed. So

582
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: as one expert says, Oh, it's a sheriff in the story. Uh,

583
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: focusing on tickets. Uh, that's not a great.

584
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: Use of your resources. That just doesn't work.

585
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: It reminds us a prop forty seven right which decriminalized

586
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: or reduced from felonies to misdemeanors.

587
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: A lot of the team consider it occur to these morons.

588
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: There was a reason that all this was criminalized. It

589
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: was criminalized because if you have a large percentage of

590
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: the population addicted, then you have chaos in the streets

591
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: all over the place, and it destroys people's lives. Not

592
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: only the lives of the drug takers, but the lives

593
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: of everyone around. Your neighborhood gets destroyed. Your kids school,

594
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: You can't have your kids walk to school alone anymore.

595
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: You can't walk around because you have homeless, crazy people

596
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: running around screaming or they're passed out and they're soiling themselves.

597
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't see one single upside of this. They this

598
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: is like to fund the police. It's extremely unbelievably stupid,

599
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: no upside, Nothing good comes of this. I'm just fumoxed

600
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: by this. I can't believe it.

601
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: No, and I it's interesting that this crowd, when it

602
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: comes to homelessness and drug users, they take like this

603
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: libtarian approach. Leave them alone, don't worry about it. If

604
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: they want help, they don't come for help. Somewhere else

605
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: and you just stand by. You can revive them in

606
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 2: case they overdose. I'm not reviving anybody.

607
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm not.

608
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: Instead, the problem is, Look, I'm mostly libertarian, but they're

609
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 2: ruining society. You can't just leave them alone because in

610
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: homeless encampments and open air and public drug use, that's

611
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: just horrible. It decreases property values, It turns off tourism,

612
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: It makes everything miserable.

613
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: Why would you tolerate that they could take their freedom

614
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: far away, not in the neighborhood, not near me, not

615
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: in my backyard. I don't ever want to see even

616
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: a whidth of this. Nobody does. We should start, we

617
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: should get radical and say no more. That's it.

618
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean.

619
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: We're my wife and I are trying to take a

620
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: walk this morning Palastinates Park in Santa Monica, you know,

621
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: on the cliff overlooking the beach, and there is this

622
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: really tall guy crossing the street, the street Ocean Avenue,

623
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: and he's shouting, and I look up, I go, is

624
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: he talking on the phone or is he completely out

625
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: of his mind? Ah, you had that little game I'd play,

626
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, so verer on on another sidewalk, another

627
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: parallel sidewalk and he comes marching into the park, waving

628
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: his arms, and he is angry. He is so pissed off.

629
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: He goes, you are the most selfish woman. You are

630
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: the most selfish woman. And then look and there's no

631
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: earpiece in his ear there's no but he's just talking

632
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: to the voices in his heads. It's an imaginary woman

633
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: who's wronged him, who's probably long dead or something. Right.

634
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: And then and then so he passes us by and

635
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: we're walking. Suddenly we hear the shouting again. It's like, oh,

636
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: we turn around. He's turned around. He's coming back. He's

637
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: coming our way, shouting, waving his arms, gesturing, shaking his fist.

638
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god. And we crossed the street

639
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,959
Speaker 1: to get to the other side. We're like hiding behind

640
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:46,000
