1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: Well, apparently it was a lengthy resignation message from Nuri 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,799 Speaker 1: Martinez this afternoon. The breaking news is she did resign 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: her a seat on the Los Angeles City Council. You've 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. Here's part of what she said. 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: And last, to all little Latina girls across the city, 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: I hope I've inspired you to dream beyond that which 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: you can see while I take the time to look 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: inwards and reflect. I asked that you give me space 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: and privacy and as so apparently she went on and 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: on about women and women's movements and wow, you're not 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: an inspiration to anybody the way you're going out. She's 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: a beacon of inspiration. What a role model. She probably 13 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: is one of these people it's going to say, Wow, 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: you shouldn't judge me on this one act, and my 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: whole career has been so successful and inspirational. Don't bring 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: me down for just calling a child a slur. She 17 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: You know what, she's awful because she's part of the 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: out that destroyed the city. You look around at the 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: forty thousand homeless that's on her too. You look at 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: all the crime that's going on, all the smash and 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: grab robber robberies, the burglaries, the murders. That's on her. 22 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: That's why she showed to be kicked out of office. 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: You gotta be ashamed of herself. These people, nearly every 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: one of them. This is the worst worst collection of 25 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: politicians in the entire country. This is the worst group 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: and every way he says, the Board of Supervisors is 27 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: the worst group. You've said, okay, then the second worst group. 28 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: You declared that a couple of months ago. That you know. 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: It's a close race within a half game of each 30 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: other on the scoreboard there, and we're lucky to have 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: them both depends on the day. All right, we got 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: because you live in the city in the county, you're 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: double BLUs. Oh, I know, I know, this is just 34 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: this isn't the way it was when I got here. 35 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's go down to Daniel Gus And Daniel 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: has the Gusts Report, and he has been chronicling this 37 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: and he's been covering city Hall for many years, been 38 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: on our show many times. Daniel, how are you guys? 39 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: I am just giddy. I am giddy with excitement. It's 40 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: like fourth of July. And and digitally they rolled all 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: into one. I feel. I feel the same way because 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: well because you know just how bad they are off screen, 43 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: and so this this is their their big reckoning that 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: was long overdue, all right, So what a way? Louri 45 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: Martinez wrote a long goodbye publicly, so she's gone. Are 46 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the other two gonna go today? Uh? Today? I don't know. 47 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: I think the one I agree with you. I think 48 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: you guys nailed it. I think if anybody's going to 49 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: kind of sort of hang on, it's gonna be Gleione 50 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: whose real name is Leon. That's the duh is just 51 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: for a pass. Yeah, totally figures. His real name is 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: Kevin Leon. N Yeah, Kevin Leon, who has a fondness 53 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: for eating during meetings on camera that I wrote about 54 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: a year ago. I think CEO's he was going to 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: be gone in a month anyway. He's got a magnificent pension, 56 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: and if Delion goes also, he'll have a very you know, 57 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: comfortable landing. But that resignation from Nuri just shows you 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: the degree of delusion. When she wrote the other day 59 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: that she's taking a leave of absence to consult with 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: my family and community leaders, she actually thought that you 61 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: can refer to a black child in twenty twenty two 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: as an elected official of the second biggest city in 63 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: the nation. I don't even want to say it to 64 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: refer to a child, a black child that way. And 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: she still thought there was an avenue for redemption. And 66 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: so that resignation letter just shows the degree of delusion. 67 00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: So how do you explain delusion? You can't. You can't. No, 68 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: it's a mental illness because it's believing in a fantasy. 69 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: It's being disconnected from reality. And nobody said that fire 70 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: more than the La Times, which kept endorsing her and 71 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: celebrating her and historic this and historic that. You should 72 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: have seen the party they threw at city Hall in 73 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: the courtyard when they had white leather couches Chinese food 74 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: by the way, with with a literally a pig's head 75 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: on a table. It like it was a luow for 76 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: what do want to hear that? I don't want to 77 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: hear that. Why did they have a pig? What was 78 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: this party for? Who? Whose party was this? It was 79 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: when she it was for her coronation for becoming the 80 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: first Latina, not the first woman, but to be the 81 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: first Latina at um At as city council president. They 82 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: had white leather couches, a dance floor and it was 83 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: going to be a whole thing head meeting. Yeah, oh 84 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: now I'm a fant Right then, what do you say 85 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: the Times had something to do with this or just 86 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: who did this? Who gave her this party? Well, no, 87 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: the city paid for that. But nobody said the delusion 88 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: more than the Times and their agenda and it's editorial board. 89 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: By the way, they're nice people, they're smart people, but 90 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,679 Speaker 1: I think they're equally delusional that they thought, based on 91 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: what her gender is, or her private parts are, and 92 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: her ethnicity, that therefore she was going to be a 93 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: great political leader. Exactly right, you nailed it. They completely 94 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: overlooked the character. They just go by how you present 95 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: yourself as a person, a woman or latina. Right. Well, 96 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: with all this diversity, equity and inclusion, it seems like 97 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: nobody's happy and nobody's getting along. Well, that's because they're 98 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: not doing it on qualls. They're not doing on qualifications. 99 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: I mean, what what what a unique idea to elect 100 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: people and appoint people or you know, she has chosen 101 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: to be council president by the fourteen other council members 102 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: and of course they are in locks step with her predecessor, 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: her blessing. Now at least her I disagree with herb 104 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: on everything, but he was a leader. He said, I 105 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: nominate Muri and they voted fourteen to nothing. She couldn't 106 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: vote for herself, and they went along lock step, And 107 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: so they did it based as the thing you guys 108 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: always say they did it for. I'm sorry, but her 109 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: private parts and her ethnicity. That's why she was put 110 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: in that role. And this is what happens when you 111 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: elevate people so fast to to with without quarles, without accomplishment. 112 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: And the Times went along and they promoted it, because 113 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: the Times is equally as delusional as as City Council. 114 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: All right, what do you think happens now with the 115 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: protesters showing up? Are they're going to continue to do 116 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: that because we still have two that haven't quit? Oh well, 117 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: let's call it two and a half. Yes, I guarantee 118 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: you that on Friday. And by the way, there are 119 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: several groups, but but the one who probably deserves the 120 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: most credit as an online group, you're progressive. You want 121 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: to call him a quasi anarchists, but they are well 122 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: organized called the People City Council, And I think that 123 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: they have like forty something thousand followers on Twitter, not 124 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: everybody who's in sync with them, but because they are influential, 125 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: all they need is about two or three hundred people 126 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: to show up on Friday and every meeting until Delion's gone, 127 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: until Sidio's gone. And so I have zero doubt that 128 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: if they're still on City Council on Friday, they may 129 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: show up, they may not. And if and if DeLeon 130 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: and Sidido are gone, my guess is that they're going 131 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: to turn their sights on Paul Carrets for racist and 132 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: homophobic things he has said in the recent past with 133 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: regard to the ed Buck homicide thing that took place 134 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: about a year or two ago. So you think they'll 135 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: move on to Carrets, I would say more likely than not. 136 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Is there any way for the city Council to get 137 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: out of this loop though? Do they have to hold 138 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: their meetings in person there or can they go back 139 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: to zoom until this blows over. They can do that, 140 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: I think for a limited amount of time, but I 141 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: don't think it's a long term solution. My guess is 142 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: that if Mitch O'Farrell, that genius leader that he is, 143 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: you know what brings his John but Chu's experience to 144 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: the bear. I think that the only thing that they 145 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: can do, if they really want piece is get out Delione, 146 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: get out to deal and maybe invite them for lunch 147 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: and say, here's tell us what you want, help us 148 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: figure out how to get there, and and you know, 149 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: let us get on with our meetings. Because I'm convinced 150 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: now that O'Farrell has gone on November eighth, I think 151 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: he's going to be replaced by somebody named Hugo Soto Martinez. 152 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: And I think that the balance of power and city 153 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: council is going to take a significant left turn based 154 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: on these things. I wasn't last enough. We're ready. You know, 155 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: some of the replacements for Michael Farrell and Shade are 156 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: even nut here. Oh they're they're They're like the Nithiuraman Democrats, socialists, anarchists, 157 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: everybody should have free rent, free housing, everything there. Well, 158 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: that's that's the that's the consequence. That's the consequence of 159 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: everybody listening to the La Times. You know, a Republican 160 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: can't be here, a moderate and independent can't be here. 161 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: You're either, you know, you're gonna have a big raincloud 162 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: over your head or a really big raincloud over your head. 163 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: And guess what the main streamers who. By the way, 164 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: we're not losing much by losing any of the Gil 165 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: Sadillos and the Kevin Delions of of of the world. 166 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: These people bounce from one. This is the Sacramento job, 167 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: County job, Inglewood, City of Los Angeles. You know, we 168 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: don't know what we're getting, but we know what we're losing, 169 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 1: and we're not losing anything of value. All right, before 170 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: you go, Caruso have a show. I think he's gonna win. 171 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, now this may surprise you. I actually 172 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: think you know, listen, we the city of Los Angeles 173 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: is in the trouble. It is because of city council. 174 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: Garcetti's a buffoon, but he doesn't control policy. He doesn't 175 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: really control the direction. He just flies around the world 176 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: and makes his stupid little statements. I actually think it's 177 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: gonna be Rick Caruso as mayor, and and um and 178 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: Kenneth Maheiah as controller. And here's why, and here's why. 179 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: It's not a bad idea. Caruso is nobody's fool. He 180 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: is an executive, and he knows how to lead and Maheiah. 181 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: If he becomes controller, he owes nothing to the status quo, 182 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: and he has pledged to audit the hell out of 183 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: City Hall and if it's corrects, Corrects will do nothing 184 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: but bury everything. I as audis. It sounds the billionaire 185 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: capitalist and the CPA with the progressive vent. I actually 186 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: think that's the healthiest check and balance of our options. 187 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: I think BASS won't win and shouldn't win, and I 188 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: think Corrects will be a disaster. So I actually think 189 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: this kind of cements people's fears as a healthy you know, listen, 190 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: we can have a lot of progressives coming in, and 191 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: I think a healthy government is best when we have 192 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: a healthy check and balance. All right, Daniel, it's going 193 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: to take it. We gotta take a newsbreak, but thank 194 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: you for coming on. Yeah, we appreciate the Gus report. 195 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: Daniel Guss, thanks a lot anytime you need me. Thank you, guys, 196 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: All right, covering the chaos at City Hall and again 197 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: Nori Martinez has quit. One down, two to go, John 198 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: and Ken caf I am six forty live everywhere on 199 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Well stop the show. Gavin Newsom has 200 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: put out a statement responding to the resignation of Nori 201 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: Martinez from the Los Angeles City Council. What does he 202 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: have to say? This is the right move again, these 203 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: comments have no place in our state or in our politics. 204 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: And we must all model better behavior to live the 205 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: values that so many of us fight every day to protect. Period, 206 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: full stop. Yeah, really, okay, thanks Now on the note 207 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: of gruesome newsom this is worth reading. The Wall Street 208 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: Journal ran an opinion piece and it mostly is about 209 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: Valero Energy. You've heard of Valero gas stations probably, yes, yes, 210 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: it's kind of what we strive as the off brand. 211 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: But they have great prices. They have some of the 212 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: lowest prices you'll find. So this is all about the 213 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: idea that they're enjoying record profits and this is price gouging. 214 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: And he responded to the California Energy Commission with a 215 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: letter and can read part of it. He said, ironically, 216 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: on the same day we received a commission's letter, because 217 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: again the letter was about, yeah, what are you doing 218 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: to the consumers? A federal judge in one hundred and 219 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: three page reason or, following review of thousands of pages 220 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: of documents and hours of depositions and discovery. Yet again 221 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: throughout another case alleging price conspiracies by the fuel industry, 222 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: finding no basis for the allegations. We have to stop 223 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and focus on that for a second. For those of 224 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: you who believe that there has been no investigation and 225 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: that there is price gouging and collusion going on. We've 226 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: had a judge who looked at thousands of pages and 227 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: has no could find no evidence. One hundred and three 228 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: page decision. Yeah, hours of depositions. They had lawyers trying 229 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: to nail these oil executives to the wall. They came 230 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: up with nothing. Discovery. They looked through all the documents, 231 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: nothing because it defies logic. Why would California be the 232 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: only state or oil companies would do price gouging? Why 233 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: would we be the only state oil companies would be greedy? See, 234 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: this is what I didn't understand, just here, nowhere else 235 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: what company has isolated its greed and targeted at one 236 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: particular state forty refineries to seventeen. It's all you have 237 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: to tell people. That's where we are today, and we're 238 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: up to forty million people. We had forty refineries with 239 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: like twenty five million people. He continues to write, this 240 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: is the James President what's that. Oh, I'm sorry the 241 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: Vice President Scott fall war call fall Warcoll. Yeah, this 242 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: is a good paragraph too. As to separation between California 243 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: prices and the prices and the rest of the United States, 244 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: we can offer the following information For Valero, California is 245 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: the most expensive operating environment in the country and a 246 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: very hostile regulatory environment for refining. California policymakers have knowingly 247 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: adopted policies with the expressed intent of eliminating the refinery sector. 248 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: California requires refineries to pay very high carbon cap and 249 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: trade fees and burden gasoline with cost of the low 250 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: carbon fuel standards. So there you go. This is about 251 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: the special blend plus the cap and trade fees. This 252 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: is of our own making, through regulation through CARB and 253 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the legislature and the governor. That's why we have high prices. 254 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: They're higher than ever because the refineries are way down 255 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: and it's really hurt the supply end. Before there were 256 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: high prices because of all the taxes and everything else 257 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: they throw on this in a special blend, and now 258 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: because of the problems with so few refineries, as demand 259 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: increased once the lockdown and COVID ended that caused a 260 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,119 Speaker 1: supply problem. Yeah, we've told you before. They can't get 261 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: this gasoline from other states because it doesn't meet the 262 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: California blend requirements. So that's the problem with that. That's 263 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: what he wrote further in the letter that regulators have 264 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: mandated a unique blend that is not readily available outside 265 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: the West Coast. California largely isolated from fuel markets from 266 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: the central and eastern US. California posed some of the 267 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: most aggressive expand and limiting environmental requirements in the world. 268 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: California has made it difficult to increase refining capacity, has 269 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: prevented supply projects so they could lower the operating costs 270 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: of refineries, and they just go on and on. It 271 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: is the most challenging market to serve in the United States. 272 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: Would California has seen refineries completely closed or shut down, 273 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: major units. This is the government, This is Gavin Newsom. 274 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: He lies every time he speaks, rites, or tweets about 275 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: the oil industry in California. He is lying. You have 276 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: a terrible liar as governor, and he's destroying the fuel 277 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: industry and you are paying for it. You are paying 278 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: six fifty seven dollars a Gallon, and it's going to 279 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: keep going up because of his policies and the policies 280 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: of democratic legislature. The other forty nine states don't have this, 281 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: and it defies rational thinking. And implied in here is 282 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: if they did hit the California oil companies with a 283 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: windfall profits tax, well that's just gonna mean they're gonna 284 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: rein in even more operations and there's going to be 285 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: even less supply. Why would you expand any kind of 286 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: operations in the state if this is how you treat it, 287 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: because he's trying to put them out of business. Well 288 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: that's what they will tell the California public. The fanaticism 289 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: of these anti fossil fuel religious nuts is to destroy 290 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: the business, to force us into electric cars even if 291 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: we have nowhere. We first of all, we don't have 292 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: the cars, we have nowhere to plug the cars in, 293 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: and there's no electricity that's going to be available. So 294 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: what is it they're trying to do. It's anarchy. It's 295 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: about destroying the American way of life. And with a 296 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: state with this many poor people who can barely afford 297 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: energy costs, is not just the gas, electricity everything. You know, 298 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: how many they're squeezing people. How many people are making 299 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: twenty five thirty thousand dollars a year? If they're making 300 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: that and you gotta lect your cars that you're going 301 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: for seventy five thousand dollars, Why this is so insane? 302 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: When is? When is? When are people going to become conscious? 303 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: All right? When we return? Oh more great news. We 304 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: have a survey out of the America's most dangerous big cities, 305 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: and in California, the most dangerous cities are San Bernardino, Oakland, 306 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: and Los Angeles. But we have to tell you there's 307 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: more to the category of dangerous than just crime. Get 308 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: to that next.

Very good, 331 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: that's exactly what's happening. Yeah, he is right, the three 332 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: of them will go in Satan's lake of fire. Might 333 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: as well not hold back that announcement, since pretty obvious 334 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: they have to go somewhere. It's right, I said Deray yesterday. 335 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: I was like, should I just prepare that already? And 336 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: he was like it might be a good idea. Yeah, fast, absolutely, 337 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: let's just throwing the whole council one eight seven seven 338 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: six six four seven eight eight six. Coming up after 339 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: four o'clock, the Johnny Ken Show will hold its own 340 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: hearing and we will have a witness sort of Brandon 341 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 1: Judd from the Border Patrol Council. He's the president of 342 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: that organization, which is the union for the Border Patrol Agents. 343 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: We found out that the hack that runs a Department 344 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, Amjandro Mayorcas. We threw him in the dumpster, 345 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: didn't we, Yes, Dad. He apparently knew and was told 346 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: that the Haitians were not whipped by border patrol agents 347 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: when all that went down last year in Texas. In fact, 348 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: the photographer told one of may orcus staffers, and the 349 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: staffers sent may Orcus an email just three hours before 350 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: the press conference saying that it looks like that on 351 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: the photos, but that did not happen. Yet they went 352 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,959 Speaker 1: ahead with their disciplinary moves and hearings and all that crap. 353 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: They intentionally lied. He knew bad, and he went out 354 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: in front of the cameras and lied to all of 355 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: us because it looked good for his progressive left. That 356 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: also the horrible border patrol agents and wasn't doing to 357 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: the poor migrants or whipping them. It was a juicy, 358 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: woke crime, crime against the woke philosophy. All right, we 359 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: have for you now, according to a wallet hub. Do 360 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: you have a wallet hub somewhere? They have come out 361 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: with the well, the most dangerous cities in the United 362 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: States will focus right now on California. But the thing 363 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: you have to know about this particular survey is it 364 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: went beyond crime. They looked at forty two metric metrics 365 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: of what they call everyday hazards, from crime to traffic 366 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: accidents to coronavirus. For Deborah Mark, natural disasters were factored 367 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: in earthquakes or wildfires or flooding, and even the possibilities 368 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: of losing your job or housing problems. So it was 369 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: like a real wide kind of So the worst cities 370 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 1: in the state of California, dangerous would be the term 371 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: they used, would be in order. Number one San Bernardino. 372 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: Let's hear it for San Bernardino, worst crime in the state. Yes, 373 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: don't they always win that crown? Yeah, Number nine, number 374 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: nine for disaster risk, third worst for financial security. I 375 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: got lost one San Bernardino. What were you doing there? Well, 376 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: it's it's at the base of the mountain leading up 377 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: to Lake Arahall. That's right, okay, y you yeah, it 378 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: took took a wrong turn one day. We have a 379 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: lot of fine listeners in Sanburn. Maybe we don't. Not 380 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: on the block, not on the blocks. Ivage driving number two. 381 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: One of John's favorite places, Oaklentons. Oh yeah, with that 382 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: wonderful nag. They were number two for safety, thirteen, disaster, 383 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: number twenty three for financial In the US, they were 384 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: number eight of one hundred and eighty two cities. Now, 385 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't think sam Bernardino was large enough to rank 386 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: in the US ratings, but samb what Oakland was number 387 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: eight and number three? Oh of course, Los Angeles number 388 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: number three, most dangerous city in the state, number three 389 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: for safety, number nineteen, disaster, number one for financial risk. Interesting, 390 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: and we are numb. Us rank was eleventh. Yeah, we 391 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: are unsafe. You're much more likely to end up on 392 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: the street broke. That's uh, that's that's the risks here 393 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. These are not three places in California 394 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: that people are looking to move to. We know that 395 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: from you know, it's a terrible combination, like Los Angeles 396 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: is incredibly run down and uninhabitable and at the same 397 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: time absurdly expensive. Yeah, because it's such a big city 398 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: geographically that you can find a good expensive neighborhood and 399 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,719 Speaker 1: that kind of pulls the numbers up, you see, I know, 400 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: I know, but much of the state is an uninhabitable 401 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,959 Speaker 1: like a ten million dollar home on the west side, 402 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: you know. And that just rounding out the top ten, Stockton, Bakersfield, 403 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: Lung Beach. San Francisco came in seventh, number four. For safety, 404 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: I would say it's even worse than that, but that 405 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: any generous riverside eighth, Modesto nine, and good old Fresno 406 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: number ten. Yeah, but then you know, I haven't seen 407 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: these other cities. I mean, I don't I don't know 408 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: how foul Fresno or Modesto is now. Yeah, the safe cities, 409 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: and it isn't it always Irvine. That's why the land 410 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: of the beige condos is well, yeah, I know, but 411 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: the beige condo philosophy works, doesn't it. Because whenever somebody 412 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: gives me a list of excuses carrying on about the 413 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: homeless here and the criminals, well you know, it's because 414 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: of this and that I go, Yeah, it's not happening 415 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: in Irvine, you know, So go to Irvine and come 416 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: back to me. Whatever they're doing there, we should copy. 417 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: Oh they're enforcing the law. Wow, that's shocking. I didn't 418 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: see the full nationalist, but I thought Chicago would come 419 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: out more dangerous than Saint Louis. But Saint Louis, I guess, 420 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: has a lot of crime. Saint Louis has a terrible 421 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: murder rate. All we hear about a Chicago right, Yeah, 422 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: well Chicago does. It's always a headline on Monday about 423 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: how many people died over the weekend in gun shootings 424 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: in Chicago. That's why I was so. I'm sure they 425 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: finished pretty poorly, but they were not the worst Saint Louis. Now, 426 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: when we come back, and I'm glad this column ran, 427 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it. You remember a month 428 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: or two ago, Gavin Newson was saying, if we look 429 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: at the Red States, they have high crime rates and 430 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: lots of murders the Red States. Yeah, no one talks 431 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: about that, but I'm going to talk about that. Well, 432 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: we kind of touched on how he skewed that analysis, 433 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: and we now have a column that ran in the 434 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: New York Post by an analyst who can tell us 435 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: in detail exactly the lie. It wasn't just Newsome. The 436 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: Philadelphia District attorney who's just George Gascon East Coast names 437 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: Larry Krass, was doing the same thing. They tell incredible lies. 438 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: They tell them at high volume, very forcefully, very confidently, 439 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: absolute wise. And we will expose this one coming up, 440 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: because that's all everybody does, is lie, all right, Johnny 441 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: ken caf I AM six forty live everywhere on the 442 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. One of the big lies that the Haitian 443 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: migrants were whipped by border patrol agents. They got debunked 444 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: pretty quickly by the photographer. It took the pictures that 445 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: went viral. Anyway, we now find out like a year 446 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: later that the Department of Home, my own security secretary, 447 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: Alejandro ma Orcas, knew that even before they went on 448 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: to try to discipline those border patrol agents, ultimately concluding no, 449 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: they did not whip the migrants. They still punish them though. 450 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: I think Brandon Judd, who's president of the Border Patrol Council, 451 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: will be our guest at four oh five and also 452 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: next hour. None of one of those stories about a 453 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: criminal who benefits from the changes in California laws gets 454 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: released from prison way too early for just a one 455 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: awful assault committed when, of course he was fifteen and 456 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: now is charged with murder. Murder. Coming up after the 457 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: news in the four o'clock hour, and of course, in 458 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: case you're just tuning in and you missed it, Nori 459 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: Martinez quit the Los Angeles City Council, not just as 460 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: president but the complete council. So we love more on that. 461 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 1: We have some audio to play later. She wrote her 462 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: long windy piece and she sees herself as a great 463 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: role model and inspiration for Latina girls. That's right, So 464 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: Latina girls, you look to Nouri and learn learn how 465 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: to become a hateful racist. Well, I guess that was 466 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: repetitive Latina's because that's already a girl, right. Uh, Latinos 467 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: are male. But now with Latin x no no, that's 468 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: been rejected by the Latinos and the Latinos, so we 469 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: don't say Latin x no no. That is a that 470 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: is a fake designation created by sociology professors in a 471 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: laboratory at Amazing style book. Well, everything's in the Ape 472 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: style book. Every every stupid in every stupid new euphemism 473 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: is in the Ape style book, because you know they've 474 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: all they've all joined the religion there. Uh. Raphael Manual 475 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: is a fellow quite the title here, but anyway, a 476 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and he wrote a column 477 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: for The New York Post is worth a few minutes 478 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: on because it does involve Gavin Newsom. Not too long ago, 479 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom was out there along with the Philadelphia District 480 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: Attorney Larry Krasner, who's the same as George Gascombe, crowing about, oh, 481 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: the crime and murder rates in the Red States, the 482 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: Maga states. Newsom called to America's red state murder problem. 483 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: Now we touched on this when he said it, but 484 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: Rafael has really come up with the real numbers to 485 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: call out these two liars. He writes, Democrats a push 486 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: to keep criminals out of jail, get rid of bail, 487 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: to fund the police. But don't believe your lying eyes. 488 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: The increase in shootings and killings nationwide is not a 489 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: liberal problem, they insist, but a conservative one. And Knewsom 490 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: referred to America's red state murder problem. As for the 491 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: DA of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, which is on pace to 492 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: break last year's record of five hundred and sixty two murders, 493 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: said his soft on crime policies are indeed working. He said, 494 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: those states in the United States have a rate of 495 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: homicide that's forty percent higher are Maga states. They are 496 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: Trump states, all right. So now let's break this down. 497 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: And when we first talked about this a while back, 498 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: we said, well, of course it's deceptive because inside those 499 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: red states, and that's going by maybe the governor or 500 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: the legislature, are a lot of Democrat cities where the 501 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: crime is happening. And he starts off with Louisiana, Louisiana 502 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: that tends to vote Republican in the presidential elections and 503 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: kind of a red state. Not completely though. In twenty nineteen, 504 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: the FBI's uniform crime reports showed this state of seeing 505 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: five hundred and forty four murders, giving it a murder 506 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: rate of eleven point seven per one hundred thousand people. 507 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: That year, New Orleans saw one hundred and twenty one 508 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: of those murders. Baton Rouge had seventy, Shreveport thirty five, 509 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: all led by Democrat mayors. So At the collective population 510 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: of about eight hundred thousand people. These three cities had 511 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: a much higher twenty nineteen murder rate of twenty eight 512 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: point one per one hundred thousand people. So the murder 513 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: murder rate for the state was eleven point seven. But 514 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: if you drop out those cities, Louisiana's murder rate is 515 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: down to eight point three. Yea twenty nine percent drop. Yeah. 516 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: See how he does this? You just suck out the citiests. 517 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: Those three cities have a murder rate of twenty eight yep. 518 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: Mississippi another red state, right, they tend to vote for 519 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: President Republican. Of course these are all Southern had three 520 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: out of thirty two murders in twenty nineteen, so at 521 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: a murder rate pretty similar Louisiana eleven point two per 522 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, but Jackson, Mississippi had seventy six of them. 523 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: That's a murder rate of forty six and a half 524 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: per hundred thousand. Without Jackson, the state's murder rate drops 525 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: down to nine point one. That's about a nineteen percent drop. 526 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: See how this is going well in reality here because 527 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: everybody knows the murders largely happen in the big cities, 528 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: cities or the biggest cities in a state, and they're 529 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: always running almost always run by democrats. I mean, can 530 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: you think of a Republican mayor of a major city 531 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: like in the last fifty years and everyone the reason 532 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: people moved to the suburbs or beyond the suburbs or 533 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: rural areas is because of the low crime rates. Right, 534 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: you're going to the open spaces, which tend to be 535 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: more republican, You're in a lot less danger of dying. 536 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: Everyone knows that. That that's what That's why people have 537 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: been moving out of the cities for so many years. 538 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: That's why the suburbs have spread so far and wide. 539 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: The fifty largest cities in America, home to about fifteen 540 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: percent of the country's populations, saw thirty four percent of 541 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: the country's murders in twenty twenty. Yeah, don't think about that. 542 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: Thirty four of the fifty cities had Democrat mayors in 543 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That's sixty eight percent. So there's the reality. 544 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: And Newsome and Krasner are lyne convince and they know this, 545 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: and that's why they called it a red state murder 546 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: problem because they knew if they widened the statistic, they 547 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: could lie about it. Here's what these these guys do, 548 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about their staff, is the political operatives, 549 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: the people who work in public relations strategy. They sit 550 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: there and they do polling and they find out it's like, wow, 551 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: we got a crime problem. People think Democrats Democrat policies 552 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: are causing crime. What do we do? All right, well, 553 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: how can we screw at the numbers? How can we 554 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: gas like this? So what you do is you pick 555 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: you pick Republican states that have large democratic cities, and 556 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: you say, oh, those murders, they're happening in Republican states 557 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: Louisiana and Mississippi. Right, the democratic cities don't exist anymore. 558 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: It's the Republican states. You repeat it over and over again, 559 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: you go on national television over and over again. They 560 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: know that interviewers don't have these statistics in front of 561 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: them or off the top of their head, because who does. 562 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: You don't know that somebody who's a Philadelphia district attorney 563 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: of the California governor is going to give you such 564 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 1: a bald faced lie. I mean, you can't walk around 565 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: with Google in front of you to counteract every statistical lie. 566 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: That they're out a towel. So the staff says, look, 567 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: just say it. Okay, if they catch you, it won't 568 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: be for a week and a half and nobody's going 569 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: to care. And I swear to you that's how these 570 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: conversations go. Just do it. They're not going to catch 571 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: up to you. They probably won't even try, all right. 572 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: Coming up next, Brandon Judd for the National Border Patrol 573 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: Council is the president of the Union for the Border 574 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: Patrol Agents, will get his take on the finding from 575 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation the Freedom of Information Act that the 576 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: head of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro majorcas knew 577 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: hours before that border patrol agents did not whip the 578 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: Haitian migrants in Texas, but he went on to make 579 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: a big deal of it anyway.
