The podcast John and kennon 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: demand that you can get on the iHeart app. And 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: one of the things you may have missed was our 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: interview with the latest candidate for La County DA against 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: George GASCONA. It is Jonathan hat Tommy and he's the 9 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: deputy DA. And we just talked with Jonathan Hatammy about 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: a half hour ago. You want to hear this all right, 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: because gascon will be replaced and he's an excellent choice. Yes, 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: Jonathan Hatamy dot com is how you find out more 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: about his campaign. This big kickoff event is today, so 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: we're glad there's at least two people running next to 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: you to challenge Gascone and Jonathan and Tommy is an 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: excellent candidate, a lot of passionate knowledge. For the third time, 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: and we've talked about this certainly the first time that 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: got stuffed a bill in Sacramento to go after dealers 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: of fentnyl. They advertise on social media. Use a young 20 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: people here. You go you want some oxyconton, you want 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: some x annex, And sometimes the pills that are sent 22 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: to the buyer are laced with fentnyl and sometimes they 23 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: kill people. And one of them was a young woman 24 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: twenty years old named Alexandra Cappeludo. Her father Matt, after 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: her death, has been pushing hard for more punishments for 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: these dealers of this deadly fentnyl in Sacramento, and for 27 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: the third time a bill died. The first bill was 28 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: pushed by State Senator Melissa Melendez, and of course it's 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: been called Alexandra Alexandra's Law, named after her. The latest round, 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: this time a Democratic state senator by the name of 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: Tom Umberg, was pushing the bill to the State Senate 32 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: Public Safety Committee, and again it has died. No one 33 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: can believe this, and apparently even DA's and Riverside and 34 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: Orange County and San Francisco use this type of prosecution. 35 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: The idea is, if you deal these type of pills 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: and someone dies, I'm ingesting them first time, do you 37 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: get a warning next time we can come after you 38 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: with homicide charges. They just won't accept this. In Sacramento, 39 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: the Democrats at rolling and run the state Senate and 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: the Public Safety Committee. Let's bring Matt Brack on the show. 41 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's very frustrated by all this and get 42 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: more detail. All right, thank thanks for having me, Matt. 43 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: What happened? News reports say there were forty one forty 44 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: one authors and co authors, Democrats and Republicans behind this bill. 45 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: How did it not pass? You know, it's beyond me 46 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: at this point. We had more than half of our 47 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: entire state legislature wanted to weigh in on this bill, 48 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: and we just have this so called Public Safety committee 49 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: that has killed this bill once again. I'm still trying 50 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: to process everything where I think we're all kind of 51 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: in shock and awe at this point that something that 52 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: just makes such common sense to everybody keeps getting killed 53 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: by this committee. Yeah, some of the things I'm reading 54 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: from them is that, well, these dealers don't necessarily know 55 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: that they're dealing drugs with deadly Fentinel and them, I mean, 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: how can you blame them? Well, that's exactly what we address. 57 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: So that is what we tell them. If they are 58 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: convicted of selling drugs in this case, specifically Sentinel, they 59 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: will get a warning letting them know that this drug 60 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: can cause death, and they need to stop. If they 61 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: don't and someone dies as a result of their continued action, 62 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: it's only then that that prosecutors have the option to 63 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: charge them with murder. So I want to make this 64 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: point at this point, I don't want somebody to be 65 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: charged with murder. If somebody's being charged with murder, that 66 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: means somebody has died on the other end of that transaction. 67 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: We want them to be dissuaded. We want them to stop, 68 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: and this would be a step that Jeff might do that. 69 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: And if they don't stop, then that person does need 70 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: to go behind bars or they kill someone else. Talking 71 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: logic to these people, sometimes there's a waste of time 72 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: because they don't want anybody new going into prison, and 73 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: so it doesn't you know, it doesn't matter how you 74 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: try to satisfy their objections, they'll come up with ten 75 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: moore because the purpose is not floating these objections. The 76 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: purpose is to keep people out of prison. That's exactly right. 77 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we went back to the drawing board on this. 78 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: We got people on both sides of the aisle to 79 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: support it. We went with Senator Tom Mumbert, a Democrat, 80 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: versus last time around a Republican. Some of the concerns 81 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: that the committee initially had was that it was too broad. 82 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: So their first amendment that they wanted us to make, 83 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: which we conceded on, was we narrowed the bill down 84 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: to just sentinel they want. Originally it covered a broader 85 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: range of drugs, which many of us would would support, 86 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: but they wanted this just to only be sentinel, So 87 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: we narrowed it down to just fentinyl. Once we satisfied 88 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: them with that and conceded on that, they came up 89 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: with another im monitument that they wanted and this will 90 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: go on infinitely until there's no bill left and you're 91 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: not prosecuting anybody. Then I bought my pass it in fact, 92 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: sent him a bill that says no one will be 93 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: ever prosecuted for a drug crime. And you'll see that'll 94 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: sail through real fast through that committee. Correct. The final 95 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: amendment that was kind of the the straw that broke 96 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: the camel's back was they wanted us to to make 97 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: it where you had to prove that the user was 98 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: not seeking fentanyl. How do you prove that when the 99 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: user's dead? Oh? That see that they were going to 100 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: it was dead on arrival. They just go through the theatrics. Here. Now, 101 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: what was the vote in the committee? It was similar 102 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: to years past. We had one in support, and I 103 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: want to give a certainly credit to Senator Rosalie A. Vogue, 104 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: who sits on that committee and has been the one 105 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: soul supporter all the way along. But the four others 106 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: actually abstained from voting. They simply didn't vote. So if 107 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: you can't get three people to vote yes on it, 108 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: the bill goes down. I would like to touch on 109 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: some because they don't want it on their record. They 110 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,239 Speaker 1: know it's a horrible thing to have on your record 111 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: voting no on a bill like this. RC, can I 112 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: tell one of a few of the reasons why they 113 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: not support the bill. Senator Bradford straight up said this 114 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: bill will make it easier to prosecute someone for murders. 115 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: That's exactly the point, because how it's impossible, it's virtually 116 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: impossible to hold a drug dealer accountable. So he straight 117 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: upset it. Senator Wiener stated he kept coming up with 118 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: these hypotheticals. What if a college student is at a 119 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: party in hands what he believes it's purchase at to 120 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: a friend and that friend dies. He doesn't think the 121 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: warning should be given in that circumstance. But the warning 122 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: is not incarceration, it's a warning. No. You know what. 123 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: Weener is maybe the most evil senator in the legislature. 124 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: He is about completely destabilizing our society. He has more crazy, 125 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: insane views than anybody else going right down California, and 126 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: that's saying something. He's a lost cause. He should be 127 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: nowhere near a public safety committee. You've got to be 128 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: terribly frustrated by all this. You've worked for a long 129 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: time at this and look like you were going to 130 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: get there with the Democrats on board, but this is 131 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: hard to believe. We'll keep pushing, and I believe we 132 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: eventually will. I think what we're starting to see in 133 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: our state legislature is that most of the moderates on 134 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: both sides see just how damning that this committee is. Historically, 135 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: the moderates never get on that committee. Historically they put 136 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: the farthest left woke progressive nut jobs, and they're they're 137 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: overloaded on that committee. It's been like that for decades. Yeah, yeah, 138 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: I think this is obviously taking more time than any 139 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: of us whatever want, because it just means more death 140 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: and more death, but I think we will get there. 141 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not giving up myself and all 142 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: my parents that have been so supportive of this, fellow 143 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: bereaved parents, We're going to keep pushing. I'm not trying 144 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: to help the dealers. But if your bill were to pass, 145 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: they'd have two choices. Stop selling the drugs in case 146 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: there's fentinel and they were to kill somebody, or find 147 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: a way to screen the drugs it's supposed to be 148 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: oxycotton or whatever it is, so that it doesn't contain 149 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: any fentyl. Are they able to do something like that? Certainly? 150 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I prefer to go along with your first 151 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: I stopped selling the drugs, but they can. You know, 152 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: it would be a good direction to go back to 153 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: plant drugs at this point, but unfortunately, we're in this 154 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: new era of synthetic drugs, and if we don't get 155 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: a grip on it, we're I mean, it's not like 156 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: we're going to be in a world of her We 157 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: already are, all right, Matt. Thank you so much for 158 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: talking to us again in our condolences over your daughter 159 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: and our sympathies over this bill not making it again. 160 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: Thanks and just so you know, builds up for reconsideration. 161 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: I know Senator Umberg is still going to be plugging away, 162 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: and I'm hoping he has some tricks of his sleeves 163 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: and that may still make this pass. All right, thank you. 164 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: That's Matt Cappeludo. And Alexandra's Law is what he's trying 165 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: to get past. In Sacramento, his daughter died from an overdose. 166 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: She thought she was getting your standard opioid, but it 167 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: was Sentinel in the pills and she died. So he's 168 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: been pushing for Alexandra's Law, which will punish those who 169 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 1: sell these type of drugs, first with a warning, and 170 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: then the next time somebody dies, you could be charged 171 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: with Thomas And I want to mention this Stephen Bradford, 172 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: the state senator who abstained from voting on the Control GARDENA. Yeah, 173 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: here's the communities he represents. There may be people in 174 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: our audience. He represents Venice and Westchester, Marina, del Rey, 175 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: el Segundo, Delray, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale. This is your guy, 176 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: your state senator. You probably don't even know it. And 177 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: this jack hole does not want to prosecute drug dealers 178 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: who murder teenagers by selling them drugs laced with fentinel, 179 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: and again the first time they get a warning, you 180 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: get the excuse once and then after that you should 181 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: get put in prison. But Stephen Bradford doesn't care if 182 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: your kid dies, it doesn't air. And his quote in 183 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: the story doesn't even make sense. We've seen this movie 184 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: before in the eighties and nineties. It was mass incarceration, 185 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: thousands of black and people doing life in prison for 186 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: selling an ounce of co king, where no one lost 187 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: their lives. That's not what this bill is. This is 188 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: about people losing their lives. I know. They speak the 189 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: whole different try because they don't have an argument. They 190 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: don't have a real coherent rational argument to block this, 191 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 1: so they make stuff up. They just make noise. They 192 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: go by that back to confuse everybody. That's what they do. 193 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: Think he's Steven Bradford isn't that's stupid. It's a stupid vote. 194 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: But he's not stupid. He knows that what you do 195 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: in the modern world is just make up some nonsense 196 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: because everyone's going to publish your nonsense and then people 197 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: will be confused. It's like, well, you know, I really 198 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: don't want mass and carceration. Shut up. You just want 199 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: to protect a guy who kills your teenage son and daughter. 200 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: That's what Bradford's protecting that guy, all right?

I can't think 210 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: of a better story to juxtapo juxtapizos with our last guest. 211 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: I can't pronounce it. Juxtapose, yeah, juxtapose our last guest 212 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: to Matt Cappeludo, whose daughter Alexandra died from a fentyl 213 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: overdose because she thought she was buying a painkiller and 214 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: instead she got a pill with too much fentyl and 215 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: she died. And he has a bill in Sacramento to 216 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: try to punish the dealers of deadly pills like that. 217 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: You get a warning and then the next time they 218 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: can charge you with homicide. Well, the story that goes 219 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: with this is what they are working on in Sacramento, 220 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: and it's a story we've talked about quite a bit 221 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: over the last several months. It has an update and 222 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: it's good old rep rations and the state committee that 223 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: is studying reparations, it's a task force, has now up 224 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: to its amount to eight hundred billion dollars. The last 225 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: time they issued a report, they were estimating the reparations 226 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: that would have to be paid out at six hundred 227 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: and forty billion dollars. The reason is they suggest they 228 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: should air on the side of generosity. Eight hundred billion dollars. 229 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: This is too absurd to even take seriously. California's annual 230 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: budget is three hundred billion, right, We're already going to 231 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: be in a deficit. Is this just virtue signaling? And 232 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: for shows it's got to be Well, their network, well, 233 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: they're not going to get this. They're not going to 234 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: get a tiny fraction to this. It's impossible. This is 235 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: this is a joke. This is Newsom's commission. That's why 236 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: I want to see Newsom run for president. He created 237 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: a commission that wants eight hundred billion dollars in reparations 238 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: to heavenly tax forty million people who had nothing to 239 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: do with slavery. Nobody had anything to do with slavery. 240 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: Who's alive today in California. California wasn't even a slave state. 241 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: They actually put in a new idea. Oh no, they didn't, 242 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: but there was a recommendation of a million dollars per 243 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: older black resident for health disparities that shortened their average lifespan. 244 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: Where they thought of everything, didn't they? I will? But 245 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: why not make it a trillion? Why did they stop 246 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: at eight hundred billion? Why to make it two trillion? 247 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: Why not make it every dollar that's in the annual GDP, 248 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: every dollar created goes to our reparations. In California, there's 249 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: only two legislators who are on the task force. One 250 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: of them is Assembly Member Reggie Jones Sawyer, who apparently 251 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: spoke very carefully. We need to consult budget analysts, other 252 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: legislators in Governor's office before deciding whether the scale of 253 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: payments is feasible. Well, the answer is it's not that joker. 254 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: Reggie Jones Sawyer is always there's always pushing all kinds 255 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: of nutty bills, especially when it has to do with criminals. 256 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: So he doesn't get to talk carefully. Why don't you 257 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: tell the truth. If you think it's nuts, say it's nuts. 258 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: If you think this is a great idea, go ahead, 259 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: stand up for it. Tell us what we gotta pour 260 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: eight hundred billion dollars a tax money into reparations when 261 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: nobody in California is connected to this slavery issue, No, 262 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: by d nobody's responsible here. That story says it's about 263 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty three thousand dollars per eligible resident 264 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: who lived in California between nineteen thirty three to nineteen 265 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: seventy seven. I don't know where they came up with that. 266 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: The aggregate is considered a maximum, and it assumes all 267 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: two and a half million people who identify as black 268 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: in California would be eligible. This is better than the 269 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: San Francisco idea, though that wants to pay people five 270 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: million dollars. Was it something like that? So this is 271 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: this has become the like it. I don't care about 272 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: the San Francisco idea because that's not on me. Yes, 273 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: this is your governor, every one of you that voted 274 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: for newsom. This is what he created. Now, Notice he's hiding. 275 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't see him commenting in these stories, do you. 276 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: He's not had much to say about the reparations thing. 277 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: I don't think reporters should try to corner him and 278 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: ask him. I'm sure Governor Wokehad was very proud of 279 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: creating this commission, right, I'm sure he's got all kinds 280 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: of high minded progressive rhetoric to lay on us about 281 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: why this commission is so important. Go ahead, go ahead, 282 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: explain why we got to pay eight hundred billion dollars 283 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: eight hundred billion. Let's take them seriously, Let's take them literally. 284 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: They really want us to spend eight hundred billion dollars 285 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: two and a half times our annual state budget. Now, 286 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: he signed the bill that started this task force back 287 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, so he got this thing going. So 288 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: I think reporters should ask him, how are we going 289 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: to pay for this? Is this real? And how many 290 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: years out before something like this happened? I got one 291 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: for you, who did we just mention the state senator 292 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: who doesn't want to put away the fentonel pushers who 293 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: kill teenage boys and girls, Stephen Bradford what do you 294 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: know he's on the task force. Oh, he must be 295 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: the other legislator alone with Jones Sawyer. Yeah, look at this, 296 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: he's on the task force too. So he wants fentinyl 297 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: pushers to kill your children. Ed, he wants us to 298 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: pay eight hundred billion dollars for reparations. That's perfect. So 299 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't care about drug dealers killing your kid, but 300 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: you know he wants to hand out eight hundred billion dollars. 301 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: What are people doing electing lunatics like this? Seriously? Do 302 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: they even know? Do you even know when you when 303 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: you go and vote in November, do you walk in there, 304 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: do you know anything about the lunatics that are on 305 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: the ballot? Probably not? Probably no one knows anything anymore. 306 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: So the thing you need to know about this, the 307 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: task Force has no power, not going to be able 308 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: to compel the state to pay out this money. The 309 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: legislature and the governor is going to have to do that. 310 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: But at some point they're going to finish here, hand 311 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: in their final report, and you can bet that the 312 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: media and the activists will be all over the legislature 313 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: to say, well, what gets what are we given out here? Yeah? 314 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: Do you think that'll be fun to follow any of these, 315 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: these these idiot woke progressive journalists at the El Segundo 316 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: Communist Times. I think they're gonna question knew some about 317 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: this nonsense. He's responsible for this. Have they written an 318 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: editorial yet supporting these kinds of numbers. I haven't seen one. 319 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: I think they support reparations, but I don't know if 320 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: they support these huge numbers. But I don't know. And 321 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: this being a deficit year, this is just I don't think. 322 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: I think do some nose. Not a good time to 323 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: talk about this. We got more coming up.

One update today, several 330 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: this woman who got texted by Hale right before the 331 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: shooting is also telling the story that Hale was deeply 332 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: affected by the death of somebody named Sydney Sims, who 333 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: was killed in a car accident in August of twenty 334 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: twenty two. She thinks, and her name is Samira Hardcastle, 335 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: that Audrey Hale was infatuated with this woman. She felt 336 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: very drawn to her, and after her death, Audrey was 337 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: really heartbroken. I just feel like she took it differently 338 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: than some of us did. She realizting about Sidney almost daily. 339 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: She took it differently. She went in and shot three 340 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: nine year olds to death at school. She's trying to 341 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: say that just to help make her mentally unbalanced. Yeah, 342 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: I love this. Now, this is a whole movement. We're 343 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: going to hear about all the traumas that Audrey Hale suffered, 344 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: whether you know her friend died or she wasn't sure 345 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: about her sexuality and so that's what happened. No, no, no, no, 346 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: she was a murderer. She was a cold blooded murderer 347 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: who plotted this out for a long time. When you're 348 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: to the point where you're drawing maps and you had 349 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: you had multiple targets, and you were going to kill 350 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: your family, and you were going to go a shopping 351 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: mall and you were going to go to this school, 352 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: but there was too much security, so you went to 353 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: this school. It's like, stop it now murdering that she 354 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: was under a doctor's care for emotional problems. So the 355 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: question is, how was she able to buy all those 356 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: guns Because her parents never went to court or to 357 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: the police to say, our daughter is nuts and we're 358 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: afraid she has guns. Do something because they have a 359 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: law in Tennessee that would have taken the guns away. Well, 360 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: Tennessee doesn't have a red flag law like other states do, 361 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: but apparently there is a federal law oh no finding 362 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: by any court, board, commission, or other lawful authority that 363 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: a person is a danger to himself or others or 364 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: lacks the mental capacity to contract or manage his own affairs. Well, 365 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: Tennessee has a law that says anyone who's declared a 366 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: mental defective cannot purchase a firearm in the first place. 367 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that phrase mental defective. That's actually a 368 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: real term in Tennessee law. Yeah, But as commonly known 369 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: the red flag law they don't have, which allows police 370 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: to seize the guns of individuals that are elevated risk 371 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: of harming themselves. But under Tennessee law, I guess there's 372 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: something more generic. Anyone who's been deemed mental defective cannot 373 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: purchase a firearm in the first place. But what's considered 374 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: mental defective, right, that sounds kind of that sounds more 375 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: severe than just somebody who's got emotional problems. Well, I 376 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: don't know that. They should have reported there are problems 377 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: to everyone and undergo an evaluation and then take the 378 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: guns away. Anyway, the parents should have taken away the guns. Well, 379 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: they didn't know. They took her words for it that 380 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: she didn't have guns. Oh that's well, that's that's that's nonsense. 381 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: Those parents are morons, absolute morons. The mother was a 382 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: big anti gun person, so and the and and the 383 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: daughter has seven guns in the house and miss anti 384 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: gun mother has no idea unless she's twenty eight. I 385 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: guess you don't. When you know that that that there's 386 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: a gun around to begin with, and that your daughter 387 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: is in the it should be in the crazy band. 388 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: You definitely, it's your obligation. She's living in your house. 389 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: You've got to go through all her stuff. If somebody's 390 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: crazy and they have a gun, you've got to do 391 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: something about it. Enough of this, and I think the 392 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: real concern for the parents was she was suicidal, So 393 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: more than just shooting up a school. They probably should 394 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: have at least been concerned she was going to kill herself, 395 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: because that's what most people thought she was about. We 396 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't that be enough to get rid of the guns 397 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: in the house? Yes, it should be it. I mean ah, 398 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: I mean they didn't want her to own a gun. 399 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: And did it ever occur to parents that everybody lies, 400 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: including your own kids, when somebody is mentally ill or 401 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: somebody seems to be on the edge of doing something unusual, 402 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: that they are going to lie to cover it up. 403 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: That they're not going to come up to you and 404 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: tell you, you you know, I have suicidal thoughts. You know 405 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: I have murderous thoughts. They're not going to do that. 406 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't understand people. The NPR explains that being under 407 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: a doctor's care alone wouldn't have met the threshold to 408 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: stop the sale of weapons to hail under Tennessee law. 409 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: They have to be found by a court to pose 410 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: a danger to themselves or others. Well, then you get 411 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: what you do. You go to court, you make a 412 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: stink about it. Oh, parents would have had to do 413 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: that or somebody. That's yes, exactly. Parents go to a doctor, 414 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: parents make a big stink, You go to the police. 415 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: You do, you will do a search of the room. 416 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: At the very least, don't don't sit there and just 417 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: watch reality shows and scroll on Facebook. Get up and 418 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: do something. When you got somebody in that much distress. 419 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: Clearly she's still a lot of distress. It doesn't look 420 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: like that she was targeting anybody specific at the school. 421 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: There was just resentment that she went to this Presbyterian 422 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: school years ago and decided that was the target. Because 423 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: even though she killed the head of the school, it 424 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: turns out one of the reasons for that is that 425 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: that woman came out to try to protect the children 426 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't say confront the shooter, but put herself 427 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: in the line of fire. And that's where Audrey Hale 428 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: killed her, because she was prominently trying to make an 429 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: effort to save any of the kids from being shot. 430 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: Because if you doesn't look like I'm saying, is Hale 431 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: didn't target any specific people at the school. She was 432 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: just looking for people to kill. Yeah, if you took 433 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: her to court and they put her in a mental 434 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: hospital or declared her disabled because of mental illness, or 435 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: she had a developmental disability or other mental incapacity, if 436 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: if a judge found this to be true, then you 437 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: could be denied a gun permit. Right, somebody has to 438 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: take those steps, so nobody did. Well, if somebody doesn't 439 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: take how many tons of thousands of people fit under 440 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: that category that nobody's taken steps to take their guns by? 441 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: The parents only had one of those cases in their house, 442 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: you didn't have to. I'm to say it's common. It's 443 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: common that parents don't do this. Well, that's sad, but 444 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: it's true. Well, if they do do it, then these 445 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: shootings become less common. In almost every case, had family 446 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: members made a stink about their crazy son and and 447 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: rifled through the room looking for the weapons, you would 448 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: have prevented a lot of mass shootings. So which is it? 449 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: It's one or the other? All right, we got more 450 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: coming up.

We had an Alex Stone analysisis 462 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: to what was going on and that goes to the jury. 463 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: I'm on edge.

Oh yeah, 467 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: hard to believe he said that he did. That was 468 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: a great moment.

John again on demand on the 470 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: iHeart app. I am getting nervous of it, this Markardly 471 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: Thomas jury, though I don't know. I definitely think they're hung. 472 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how many of the charges are well, 473 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: but I think that's what's going on there that they 474 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: cannot come up with the unanimous verdicts. Yeah, whenever it 475 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: takes too long. I can't beleeve they would all declare 476 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: him innocent on all the charges. I know. I mean 477 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: he's well as you know, I have a hierarchy of creatures. 478 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: I used to call it animals, but you think about 479 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: it because it goes all the way to spiders and 480 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: bugs and so the hierarchies creatures, right right, yeah, not 481 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: just other than people. There's well I have a hierarchy 482 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: of people, but we won't get into that. Let's dip 483 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: that for there by name right right. Oh yeah, yeah, 484 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: I can name the hierarchy start from the bottom up, 485 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: very high on my hierarchy of creatures, and I would 486 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: think most people would agree. Is the dolphin. I you know, 487 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: I went to one of those and I felt bad 488 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: about it because I don't, you know, they're captive. I 489 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: think one of the casinos in Vegas has a little 490 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: dolphin interactive thing you can go to where they swim around, 491 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,239 Speaker 1: they come up to you and you can throw some 492 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: fish at them or something like that. It was fun 493 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: though I did that once. It was years ago. But 494 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: the reason they're in the news and this is just awful. 495 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: And I think this is the whole selfie social media thing. 496 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: Thirty three swimmers and this was in Hawaii. We're harassing 497 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: a pot of dolphins. They were actively pursuing the dolphin pod. 498 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: They were trying to corral them. They were trying these 499 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: were spinner dolphins, and the dolphins are trying to swim away, 500 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: but the snorkelers kept following them. There's actual video of 501 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: this because apparently they had a helicopter patrol in this 502 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: bay where this happened on Hawaiian Island, and they see 503 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: you can see the swimmers, some big fat ball guy 504 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: trying to swim towards the poor dolphins. It's always that guy. Well, 505 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: I can see his bald head and in the picture, 506 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, I mean since men and women, I can 507 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: see them. I don't know whether or not they got 508 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: cameras or what they got, because you know that, and 509 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it's hard to bring a camera with 510 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: you when you're circling. But I suspect they're looking for 511 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: some really firsthand interactive experience that they can document, so 512 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: they want to get as close as they can to 513 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: the dolphins. It is against the federal law to swim 514 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: within fifty yards of spinner dolphins in Hawaii's near shore waters. 515 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the one place on the planet 516 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: you can go where you can get a real close 517 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: up experience with fish. The ever go, what did you 518 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: have you've been to Hawaii? I don't think you have? 519 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: Have you? Oh? I did? Yeah? I went mute twice. Okay, 520 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: but could you ever go in one of those bays 521 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: where you can sort of wait around there's all the 522 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: colorful fish swimming around your feet. Didn't that somewhere else? 523 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: I think when we went to the Gallapagos Islands, Okay, 524 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: that's always fascinating. Yeah, snarkeling, right, And because I came 525 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: face to face with a gigantic seat turtle, a huge thing, 526 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean almost almost crashed into them, scared 527 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: the hell out of me. Oh and sharks were swimming 528 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: around me, little mini sharks. Yeah, the mini sharks. I 529 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: had that experience. Sounds kind of cool. There was a 530 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: whole swarm of them going in and out between my legs. 531 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: That freaked me out too, as the last time I 532 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: went under water. I looked, and that's not going to 533 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: hurt me, tiny little shark and the moment I didn't know, 534 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: they said, just disrupts the animals sleep. They're nocturnal, so 535 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: they're up at night and they sleep during the day. 536 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: But this is when this is happening. You're floating around 537 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: trying to sleep and these fat, bad guys come floating 538 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: in and trying to grab you, kind of blest you, 539 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: trying to start waving at you. And they do have 540 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: underwater cameras, yeah, that you can use. They feast on 541 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: fish and small crustaceans. It surface from the ocean's depths 542 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: at night, but when the sun rises they head for 543 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: the shell obeys to hide from the tiger sharks and 544 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: other predators. Well, the dolphins appear to be awake during 545 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: the day because they're swimming, they're actually resting half their 546 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: brain and keeping the other half awake. I always wondered 547 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: this to surface and breathe, So that's how it's done. Yeah, 548 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: I can go to those unaware the animals may be 549 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: sleeping even when they're kind of moving through the water. 550 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: Why don't they take these tourists out to meet the sharks. 551 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: That's a good idea. Let's see what happens. How would 552 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: you like to meet a really hungry shark. They have 553 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: a large pack of sharks. Maybe you want to get 554 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,959 Speaker 1: a selfie with those guys. Yeah, how is like an 555 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: interactive experience? When they tear off half your leg? We 556 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: can we can arrange that an interactive experience. Yes, very 557 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: up close and personal. Hey, where's your leg? She was 558 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: the appendage? Should you don't mind being torn off by 559 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: a hungry shark? Ridiculous? I just suspect it's always about you. 560 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: I want to show people. Look at how clothes I 561 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: was did the dolphin and R and I great? And 562 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: nobody wants to see it anyway. Hey, Conway's here. Hey, 563 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: I just sold a little bit of that story. Are 564 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: people in trouble because they swam with dolphins? Okay? They 565 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: were annoying the dolphins. They were annoying according to the dolphins. Yeah, 566 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: they quit. They're supposed to sleep during the day, and 567 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: they're sleeping, and they're chasing after them, and they're bumping 568 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: up against them, and they're trying to hug them and 569 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: you know, play with them. I see, all right, and 570 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: this is dolphins sleep time. Okay, you should learn set's 571 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: where we are in life. Okay, all right. Mammoth Mountain 572 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: has the record raining for a snowfall. They've never had 573 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: this much snow. Six hundred eight of snow. That's a lot. Yeah, 574 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: and I love the guys still walking around going no, 575 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: we're not even close out of the drugs. It has 576 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: affected it at all. They ought to collect all that 577 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: snow melt. Yeah, and and and stick it in the 578 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: yards of the people who deny that we're doing. Okay, 579 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: more than forty inglewood businesses are gonna be relocated under 580 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: an eminent domain agreement to bring in rapid transit to 581 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: SOFI and what else is there? They form keya form right, key, yeah, 582 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: and then the parrot is reunited with that Santa and 583 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: a family. Remember that parrot was stolen. Somebody stole a parrot. Yeah, yeah, 584 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: the parents back with the owner after sixty five or fifty. 585 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: I think it's a sixty five year old parrot. Parents 586 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: aren't very high in my hierarchy. You know where there's 587 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: a huge don't care about them collection of parents in 588 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: Santa Monica. Birds are not very high. I don't like 589 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: most buggers at all. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I've 590 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: never had a bird. There's there's a huge collection of 591 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: parents that fly around a certain neighborhood in Santa Monica 592 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: with me, I have the very noisy. They're extremely noisy. Yeah, 593 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: and they keep breeding in the in the flock gets 594 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: large breed. Yeah. I have the same flock in Burbank. 595 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't it's the same flock. But you know where 596 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: they're from. There's two stories. One is a pet store 597 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: burned down, so let all the birds out before the 598 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: pet store burned down. And the second story is when 599 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: they close bush gardens on Rosco in the four or five, 600 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: they just let the birds go. Yeah, and they've been 601 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: multiplying and multiplying. But band rids in Burbank and really 602 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: and when you're sleeping, you know at six, seven o'clock 603 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: in the morning they came buy you want to just 604 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: kill them? You know? They make a racket. Yes, all right, 605 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: so we're down on parrots. Well, I think they're beautiful, 606 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: except for when at six am. I don't like the 607 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: six good point because you don't understand how the dolphins feel. 608 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: They're trying to sleep. Well, why don't the parrots go 609 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: swim with the dolphins? Take care of both? But both 610 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: the crews all right, Conway, Big Show.
