You can't do that. 16 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: How's your hair? 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I don't know you fixed it? Don't worry all right? 18 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: See I need I need attendance here. If I wanted 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: to get into television, I would have gotten too television. 20 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: I got it too radio, so I don't have to 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: worry about this crap. We got someone from Central Minnesota 22 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: and they say it's seven degrees right now, so the 23 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 1: guy's got nothing to do. It's seven in central Minnesota, 24 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: so he's watching watching our Instagram show. All right, I 25 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: hope you don't have an ev up there. We have 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: Lisa Smidcamp coming on. We've talked with her many times before, 27 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: Fresno County District Attorney, and she has a proposed referendum, 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act that would 29 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: reverse once and for all Prop forty seven. And let's 30 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: talk to her now and see what this is about. 31 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: First I heard of it. Lisa, I am here. 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on. All right, this was news 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: to me. So explain this act that you're proposing here. 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 3: It's not a reversal of Prop. Forty seven. It's actually 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: a six it's a modification of Prop. Forty seven that 37 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: allows it will allow prosecutors to aggregate UH drug crimes 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 3: and theft crimes so that for people who do not 39 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: get with the program the first or second time, they 40 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: are offered misdemeanor probation and an opportunity to, you know, 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: either alleviate their drug issues and stop stealing. We would 42 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 3: be able to prosecute them for felony crimes after they 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: have two prior convictions for either theft or using what 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: we would call hard drugs. 45 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: Well, first you better tell the local station in Fresno 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: that they're misreporting it because they're saying it's a reversal. 47 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: We did, we did, We did have that corrected because 48 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: it did say it did say repeal of Prop. Forty seven, 49 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: and that is not what it is. It is a 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: fix for it. So so yeah, we are we are 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: very excited about this initiative. It's called the Homeless Drug 52 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: Addiction and Theft Reduction Act. We are in the process 53 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: now of raising money and gathering signatures because we need 54 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: over five hundred thousand signatures in order to qualify it 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: for the November ballot and once that, once that is done, 56 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: then the issues will go to the California voters in 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: November so that they can they can they can have 58 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: a say in this. 59 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: How much time do you have to get the five 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: hundred thousand signatures. 61 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: We need to have them by April, so it is 62 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 3: a very it's a very short period of time. You know. 63 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: The budget we need to accomplish is about seven eight 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 3: million dollars because it's very expensive to do these campaigns, 65 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 3: and so we're asking people to go to Seasafecommunities dot 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: com and donate whatever they can five dollars, twenty five dollars, 67 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: twenty five hundred dollars to really help the prosecutors in 68 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: the state of California get this this initiative on the ballot. 69 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: Okay, explain it again. Now, if they commit these thefts 70 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: a second time, or they have a drug problem a 71 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: second time, then right, So. 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 3: What it does is right now, in the state of California, 73 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: anyone who steals anything under nine hundred and fifty dollars 74 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: is only can only be charged with a misdemeanor and 75 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: convict of a mismeanor. So once once someone has two 76 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: convictions for those any types of theft crimes like that, 77 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: the third time that they are arrested they can be charged. 78 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: Prosecutors can charge them with a felony. And it elevates 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: obviously the accountability and the responsibility. And if they are 80 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: convicted of it, they will they could face jail time 81 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: in certain communities, and they if they violate that pelone improbation, 82 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: they could look at at prison time also and so 83 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 3: that there's also that same provision for drug users. People 84 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: who are convicted of possessing drugs in California are usually 85 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 3: only convicted of misdemeanors, and quite honestly, there is no 86 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: there's no punishment for misdemeanors in most counties, especially in 87 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: your county. No, I know that they don't no punishment. 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: Anything where the sentences six months or less is an 89 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: automatic zero. You go out the door. 90 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: They give you. If you listen to a lot of 91 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: the people on the left of the left of the 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: left right, they'll say that, oh, you know, drug uses down, 93 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: and crime is down, and theft is down because people 94 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: don't report it anymore because what they're told is the 95 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: DA's office isn't going to do anything about it, and 96 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: the cops aren't going to do anything else. I'm told 97 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 3: that as a sad state of affairs. 98 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm told the police don't even show up anymore. So 99 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: if the police aren't going to show up and it's 100 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: not going to get reported as a crime. 101 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 3: That very well meets the true because you have a 102 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: district attorney who doesn't prosecute crimes as he should. In 103 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: my humble opinion, do you know how many. 104 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: How many do you know how many prosecutions he supposedly 105 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: has not followed up on fourteen thousand, fourteen. I wouldn't 106 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: even thousand. 107 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: I wouldn't even want to guess. It's time for Los 108 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 3: Angeles to wake up and stop electing imposter Das you 109 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 3: have a person in the DA's office who has never 110 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 3: tried a case. You have a person in the DA's 111 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: office who will not implement the law as it is 112 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 3: written and as it has been voted by the people 113 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: who live here in California. You know, so when you 114 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: elect DA, that's what you get. You know, you pay 115 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: off and anarchy. 116 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: And he co wrote Prop forty seven. George Gascon. 117 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 3: I didn't know that it was surprised me. 118 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: No, he did, he did. 119 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: No. 120 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: He has been the biggest blight on California, imaginable, a 121 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: guy that nobody knew ten years ago he wrote that 122 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: stupid co wrote the stupid proposition, and then he came 123 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and destroyed us. 124 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: And he's one of many people who is behind the 125 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 3: movement in California that is simply ruining the culture of 126 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: our beautiful state. Because it's not just affecting public safety, 127 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: it's affecting hospitals, it's affecting merchants, it's affecting the economy. 128 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: And the governor is all part of the same crew. 129 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: And all they care about they are drunk with power. 130 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: That's what they care about. They don't care about the 131 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 3: people who live in Los Angeles or Orange County. I 132 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 3: care about staying in power. 133 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: Everyone. Many people in California seem to be walking around 134 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 1: as if they're members of a cult, and they just 135 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: keep blindly nodding along with whatever their superiors tell them. 136 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: And now has created this dysfunctional, apocalyptic state where criminals 137 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: and crazy people are running a buck and nobody, nobody 138 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: feels willing to say or do anything to get life 139 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: back to the way it used to be. And it's 140 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,119 Speaker 1: strange thing. Frog. 141 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: It's like the frog in the boiling water. Right, If 142 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: you put a frog in a pot of water and 143 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: you slowly turn the heat up, they don't even realize 144 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: that they're going to boil to death. If you put 145 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: a frog in a boiling pot of water, he will 146 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: he or she will probably jump out. So it's that analogy. 147 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: We're getting used to seeing drug addicts roaming the streets, 148 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: right defecating in the streets, living in the streets. We're 149 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: getting used to homeless people. We're getting used to being 150 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 3: in retail stores where people literally walk out and don't 151 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: and don't pay for their for their goods. I was 152 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: in a local home home store the other day right 153 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: here in Fresno, and a man walked in, filled up 154 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: the cart, and walked out. He gave the cart of 155 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 3: goods to a buddy of his. He that second person 156 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: brought the goods back in, got in line and demanded 157 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: a gift card for the goods that his friend had 158 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: son five minutes later and the you know, I'm the 159 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: district attorney. I'm outraged. I said, what are you doing? 160 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: And the store manager came over and said, we are 161 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: not allowed to call the police. We are not allowed 162 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: by our corporate to have a confrontation. We give them 163 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 3: the gift card and let them leave, right. 164 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: And then, so what is that? 165 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 3: What does that drug addict do with a gift card? 166 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: He goes and sells it for you know, a fraction 167 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: of the value of it and and gets a fix. 168 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the crime for and then the news media 169 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: will tell you that, Well, we looked at the statistics 170 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: and crime is actually down in your town.

Newsom was doing 214 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: a press conference and he was claiming that they were 215 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: pouring money or had a task force or a Blue 216 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: Ribbon commission or something to deal with all the crime 217 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: going on. And he's trying to claim that Prop forty 218 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: seven isn't the problem just because you can steal up 219 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: to nine hundred and fifty dollars a day, that's not 220 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: the issue. And he was pointing out it's like, look 221 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: at Texas. Texas has a threshold of twenty five hundred dollars, 222 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: much higher than California. However, what he omitted was in Texas, 223 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: the second time they get you now you're getting prosecuted. 224 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: In California, the second time they get you nothing, the 225 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: third time they get you nothing, the twelfth time they 226 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: get you nothing. That's the difference. And that's why he 227 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: is such he's such a slick, deceiving weasel. Oh yeah, 228 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: look at Tech because he always does this, look at Texas, 229 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: And then he tells a fraction of the story. No, 230 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: in Texas, if they'll lets you do that, once you 231 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: do it a second time, then you're facing prosecution. And 232 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: that's what this would amend Prop. Forty seven, the Texas model, 233 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: so that you do this repeatedly, either with drug arrests 234 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: or with theft arrests, then they start to prosecute and 235 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: they put you in jail, and that's what should be done. 236 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: Let's say we're compromising. We'll give everybody in the state 237 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: one free theft of nine hundred and fifty dollars worth 238 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: of goods. And you know what, as soon as this 239 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: and if this passes, I'm going I'm gonna go steal 240 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: my nine to fifty on day one and then I'll 241 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: be good for the rest of my life and won't 242 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: trigger any further prosecutions. Homelessness, drug addiction, and Theft Reduction Act. 243 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: All right, So we'll get this together so you could 244 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: show up and sign it in person and obviously online, 245 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do a lot of publicity for this 246 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: because this falls into the category like many other things 247 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: we've been talking to about today. It's like, all all right, 248 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: this has got to stop, right. It's been going on 249 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: for several years and it's nonsense, it's idiocy. Every everybody 250 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: hates it. This is not a political issue. This is 251 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: common sense quality of life. You want life to be 252 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: safe and peaceful and normal again, it can be. You 253 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: just have to rewrite the laws that enforce the laws. 254 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: It's not complicated, it's not unprecedented, it's not unconstitutional, it's 255 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: not cruel and unusual. It's none of that. Okay, it's 256 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: not racist, it's not sexist, it's not anything other than 257 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: you do a bad thing. Whatever you look like. You 258 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: do a bad thing, you get penalties for them. And 259 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: we're going to get back to that. But you have 260 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: to get your head out of your rear end and 261 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: stop scrolling and pay attention and you know, a signature, 262 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: resking for a signature on this thing. And we'll give 263 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: you further instructions very soon, all right, because I mean 264 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: it's over. I've had it. I'm sure you've had it. 265 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: We just have to collectively take some action. 266 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 4: Here, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI 267 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 268 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: One of the things you missed is we tell to 269 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: a reporter from a news Nation Last Hour, which is 270 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: the newest cable news channel. You should look for it. 271 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: Brian Enton was on and he had a really frightening 272 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: story I'll just briefly tell you, and you should go 273 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,599 Speaker 1: listen to the whole interview. The Chinese scientists are experiencing 274 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: or experimenting with a mutant form of COVID nineteen that's 275 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: one hundred percent lethal to humanized mice. And you're saying, 276 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: what's a humanized mouse? Well, they were engineered to reflect 277 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the genetic makeup similar to people, especially in their brains, 278 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: and then they were injected with GXP two V. It's 279 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: a coronavirus cousin, and it turns out in eight days 280 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: it killed mice and infected their lungs, bones, eyes, trachea's brains, 281 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: and their eyes turned completely white right before they died. 282 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: They lost a lot of weight, they ended up hunched, 283 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: they moved sluggish, and then they died one hundred percent 284 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: fatality rate. And the Chinese are working on this new 285 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: COVID variation. What the hell you say? Well, listen to 286 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: in the two o'clock hour, second hour of the show, 287 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: and we talked with Brian Enton from News Nation about it. 288 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: All Right, We've been talking a lot about things that 289 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: this year. We got to try this year to end 290 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: a lot of insane things that have been going on 291 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: in our society, our culture, especially here in California. I 292 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: think everybody's had it. One thing is about the airlines. 293 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: Something's got to be done about the airlines. Three flight 294 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: stories yesterday. My wife, my son, and one of my 295 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: wife's close friends all took airplane flights yesterday. None of 296 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: them went well. Mildest one was my wife. She was 297 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: waiting at Lax for a couple hours before the thing 298 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: took off. There was bad weather on the East coast right, 299 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: so it was understandable domino effect. But my son was 300 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: flying back from a ski vacation on the East coast 301 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: out of New York, landing in Denver, is supposed to 302 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: change planes last night and end up in Wyoming. They 303 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: canceled the second flight. Now, what's supposed to happen when 304 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: they canceled your flight. 305 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 2: They're supposed to put you up at a hotel and 306 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: give you a meal voucher. 307 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: There was no meal voucher. There was no hotel. In fact, 308 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: there's apparently no hotels at all adjacent to the Denver Airport, 309 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: because you know, they put the Denver Airport forty miles 310 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: out side of Denver, and I didn't know this, and 311 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: I still can't believe it Isn't it haunted too? The 312 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: Denver airport, Yeah, that's what I've heard. Well, he spent 313 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: the night there. Oh boy, they they he and other 314 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: p everybody on the plane had to you know, they 315 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: closed all the stores. I don't know how he got 316 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: I didn't talked to yet, but he got a blanket 317 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: and a pillow and spent the night sleeping on the 318 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: floor like a refugee, like one of these illegal migrants 319 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: in the Denver airport. No delta lounge access or anything. 320 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: It was changing. It was changing planes to go to 321 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: Wyoming and his town in Wyoming. The nearby airport has 322 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: two flights a day, you know. And you know, you 323 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: know why they didn't give him a voucher and a 324 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: hotel room. 325 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: There was no hotel available or anywhere near there. 326 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: Well that apparently, but because you know, obviously he could 327 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: have paid for the hotel on his own. But because 328 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: I I when I heard about this was happening yesterday, 329 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: I said, well, we'll give him a voucher even if not. 330 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: You know, they have hotels usually, like at lax right, 331 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: there's plenty of hotels. You spend a couple hundred dollars, 332 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: and that's just the way it is. Well, they decided 333 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: they didn't officially cancel the flight. They just delayed it 334 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: to the next morning. Oh that's looney. And according to 335 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: their rules, if it's a delay of less than twelve hours, 336 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: it's not a cancelation. Even though it's the next day, 337 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: it's the next morning. So it was supposed to take 338 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: off around eight in the evening. It took off at 339 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: seven am. Eleven hours. It's inside the cutoff. No hotel voucher, 340 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: no shuttle ride to the hotel, no nothing. So what 341 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: they should have done is given everybody a ride at 342 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: least into you know, whatever town has a hotel, even 343 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: if it's a twenty mile ride. At least he gets 344 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: six hours of sleep out of it something like that. 345 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: But no, nothing. Now, get this, My wife's close friend 346 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: leaving la yesterday headed for London because her brother died 347 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: recently and they were having the funeral service. She gets 348 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: on a plane. It was to go to New York 349 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: and then on to London. The plane never gets to 350 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: New York. They send it to Atlanta. She gets off 351 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: in Atlanta and they say, well, there's no flight to 352 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: London from here. Get on this second flight and go 353 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: to Orlando, and then in Orlando, you'll end up in London. Okay. 354 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: So she goes to Orlando and then goes on to London, 355 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: gets off the plane in London. The bags are still 356 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: at Atlanta funerals tomorrow. So she's up all night flying overnight, 357 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: gets there and she has no clothes. She has nothing, 358 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: so she's got to wander around and buy some clothes 359 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: to look presentable at the funeral. And they think the 360 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: bags are in Atlanta. And you don't want them to 361 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: send them to London now, right, because that'll be a disaster. 362 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: You ever got a Heathrow airport? You've been there? Is 363 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: that not the worst airport in the history of crazy? No? 364 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: It all. It's just the worst, like immigration check in. 365 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: I remember you, Have you gone. 366 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: There when COVID was at its peak? 367 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: No? No, no, we didn't go anywhere. No, but we 368 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: went there three times. We went through Heathrow and three 369 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: times there were terrorism problems one time and this was 370 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: actually a KFI trip many years ago. We brought a 371 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: group of KFI listeners to Ireland to march in the 372 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's Day Parade, and the plane, the plane was 373 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: supposed to land in London and then and then jumped 374 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: to Ireland and they closed down the airport because the 375 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: Irish Republican Army was launching mortars at Heathrow. Okay, so 376 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: that didn't work out, uh se twenty four hour delay. 377 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: Second time we went to London, we were staying in 378 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: a hotel and my kids were much younger. I turned 379 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: on the TV and our hotel is on is highlighted 380 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: on a map because they found a terrorism bomb, a 381 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: nail bomb inside a car parked directly around the block 382 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: in back of the hotel. And then at the bomb 383 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: went off. Apparently the hotel by get hit. I went downstairs. 384 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: I see this on TV. Right, Nobody at the hotel 385 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: told us this, right, I see on TV. It's like, 386 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: wait a second, that's our hotel. I run downstairs to 387 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: talk to the clerk. He's on the phone with CNN, 388 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: but they don't tell us about it. Then we took 389 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: a cruise. On the way home, we're supposed to go 390 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: through London. Well, there was some kind of terrorism attack 391 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: and they closed down Heathrow Airport for a week. So 392 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: the whole time on the cruise, I'm on the computer. 393 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: You know, several times a day looking to see, well, 394 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: what's going to be the alternative. Are they gonna open 395 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: up the airport, or I gotta take all five of 396 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: us on another flight and pass through Spain or whatever. 397 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: And of course all the ticket prices now were two 398 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a person because everybody was panicking and rerouting 399 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: and then going into Heathrow Airport. I remember that time 400 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: they had like a customs customs line, mimigration line, literally 401 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: two thousand people down there, and it just stunk so bad. 402 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: It was two thousand people from all over the world 403 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: and it was hot and sweaty and gross. So you 404 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: don't want to send your luggage to London after it 405 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: got left behind in Atlanta. You just mind, It's be 406 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: easier just to walk around me, walk around New Well, they. 407 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 5: Have plenty of stores in London. I'm sure she'll be 408 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 5: able to find something in. Plus doesn't the airline have 409 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 5: to pay as it has to reinburse her for her Yeah, 410 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 5: because they left her luggage on it at. 411 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: A different time. 412 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: Maybe they'll say it's a loophole, you know. In fact, 413 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: there was another little wrinkled to that story, and I 414 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: can't think of it. It was it was like they 415 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: were they were they were they were trying to wiggle 416 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: out of responsibility because it was a snowstorm, like it 417 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: wasn't their school. But yeah, yeah, well you've been through this. 418 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: I have when they canceled your Yeah, the insurance, you know, 419 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: the truth Israel. 420 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 5: Yes, that the insurance that we bought. They said that 421 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: they cover terrorism, but they don't cover a declaration of war. 422 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 5: And we said, well, Hamas is a terrorist group and 423 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 5: they committed terrorism in Israel and then that led to 424 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 5: the war. 425 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: No, they're not the so Hamas can commit terrorism, but 426 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: they blamed it on the Israels. 427 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: And they blamed that it's starting a war. 428 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 5: So the insurance, the insurance company that we purchased our 429 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 5: insurance from, is not giving us our money back because 430 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 5: it's a act of war, not terrorism. 431 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: Why is there an active war loophole? Shouldn't an act 432 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 1: of war be. 433 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: You would think. 434 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 5: So let me tell you, I will never be doing 435 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 5: business with this insurance company. I don't think I'll ever 436 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 5: buy travel insurance again, because again they friggin try and 437 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 5: get out of everything. 438 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, And we. 439 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 5: Appealed and we lost, and then we appealed to the 440 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 5: state Insurance Commission and they said, oh, we can't get. 441 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: Involve, We can't get involved in this, right, Yes, the 442 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 1: caw fark guy runs that insurance commission. He regulates cal farts, 443 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: but actually helping people who get screwed by an insurance company. 444 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: They can't do anything about it. Yeah, I mean, this 445 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: crap has just got to be over. I mean, it 446 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: had three things happen in a day.

Today it is thirteen 471 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 6: in Detroit, which doesn't compare to some of the temperatures 472 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 6: up to any special plans to acclimate the team to 473 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 6: not only. 474 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 3: Endure, but perform in those. 475 00:25:59,160 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: Confridge in. 476 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 6: Detroit. 477 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 3: You do know we play indoors right in the other dome. 478 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 4: I don't. 479 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 6: No nothing playing or indoors. 480 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: And we only have to be outside for twenty seconds 481 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: getting off the bus going under the thing, so we'll 482 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: be okay. I mean, credit to coach Bulls here for 483 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: taking it as professionally as he could. But I mean, 484 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: come on, now, there's something going on his head, and 485 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: he knew if he said what's in his head? And 486 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: he's going to get fined and suspended, right because it's 487 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: a it's a female reporter. Yeah, and so he can't. 488 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: He can't. If it was a guy, he would have 489 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: come after him. Yeah, he really had to tell the 490 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: line there. And she really she did a research on this. 491 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that was a lengthy question that it was 492 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: a legit question. But sure, if you know where the 493 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: Lions play, it's been a dome for fifty years. That 494 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: made my morning when I saw that. Is great. But 495 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: he really held it together. We were talking about with 496 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: Lisa Schmidcamp, the DA from Fresno. She's got a new proposition, 497 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: a referendum for the ballot that would rewrite Prop forty 498 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: seven to some extent.

Gas stations along Hegenberger 508 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: Road and ninety eighth Avenue right next to the eighty Freeway. 509 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: Because we used to go up to Oakland Airport quite 510 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: a bit because our one of our sons went to 511 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: school there and I remember that area. They are aggressively 512 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: target rental cars in particular, knowing that the stations are 513 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: frequented by tourists and their cars are filled with luggage. Okay, 514 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: this is the last stop you pump your gas because 515 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: if you take your empty tank to the rental car company, 516 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: they charge you eleven dollars a gallon and then that 517 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: shows up in your credit card bill and you say, 518 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: what the hell it's like, Well, you were five gallons short. 519 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: So they have signs advising drivers everywhere to be careful, 520 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: don't gas up there, or don't leave your car unattended. 521 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: Five to seven customers a day come in to this 522 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: rental agency with their windows smashed on the rental and 523 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: it's in the vicinity of Hagenberger. And know that they 524 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: do it all day every day, to the tourists gassing 525 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: up before the airport all day every day. Nobody's stopping 526 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: it five to seven, five to seven customers every day. 527 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: If he's being literal, that's that's almost fifty a week. 528 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: Conway's here, Hey, now, our governor vetoed the tackle football 529 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: for twelve year olds. Yes, And the only reason he 530 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: did that is because if he signed it and went 531 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: into law and he ran for president, he would lose Texas, Georgia, 532 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: whole Midwestern Arkansas, Florida. He'd lose all of these states 533 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: where football is a big deal. Yeah, gone, gone. So 534 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: he said, I can't do that. Him running for president 535 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: is actually helping California. That's right, because he's backing away 536 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: from some of the Nettie stuff. We should always have 537 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 1: him run. Yes, yeah, it is perpetually running for something. 538 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: Alex Stone is coming on with us talking about the 539 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: seven thirty seven Max Man and I'm going to Vegas 540 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: next week and I checked with my airline and I'm 541 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: on a Max seven thirty seven.
