Speaker 1 (00:00):
If I am six forty, you're listening to the John
and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You
can hear the show from one till four every day,
and then after four o'clock on the iHeart app John
and Ken on Demand podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Like I said, we'll be getting to more of the
crazy legislation that's made its way to dipity de Gavin
Newsom's desk. It was a frenzy on Friday as they
went out of session for months in Sacramento. There are
some whoppers in there. I'll just give you one headline,
the speed camera bill that's made you to Newsom. All right,
so we'll get into all this coming up later on
this hour. We're gonna begin with the United Auto Workers strike,
(00:41):
which made news. It was announced on Friday. The union
has simultaneously struck against General Motors, Ford and John.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You'll have to help me. Stalantis Nay owned Chrysler.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I didn't know they were the name there. Yeah, Oh
that's their name now Stalantis Stalantis is the parent company.
Oh okay, well, it was the first time in history
all three have been struck. They apparently elected some head
by the name of Sean Fain who promised new militancy
against the auto companies, record profits, big pay for the executives.
(01:14):
We're coming to get it. Well, they're really asking for well,
they want a thirty six percent pay increase over four
years and a thirty two hour workweek with overtime for
additional hours. They want the restoration of retiree health benefits
and defined benefit pensions for all workers. Dah, if you
heard me right, that's like the government thing. Remember that
(01:35):
went out the way of four to one k's a
long time ago, but they want.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It back for all workers to find pension. Well, the
defined pensions almost bankrupted the big automakers fifteen years ago
and they had to get rid of them. And because
they're unsustainable, right, there's no way in the end for
the companies to pay that. You have to take the
responsibility and invest the money yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
The response this is the automakers will give you maybe
seventeen and a half to twenty percent, but a thirty
two hour workweek, restoration of retirement benefits for newer workers
and non starters.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They're not going to go for that. Well, go out
of business.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So a lot of this apparently can be traced back
at least according to stories actually in both the New
York Times and the Wall Street Journal, to this push
towards electric vehicle production. That's part of the problem here
because of the Biden administration's policy mandating a rapid transition
to electric vehicles. And of course we know what California
is doing. The EUAW knows that electric vehicles require fewer
(02:34):
workers to make and will jeopardize union jobs making gas
power jobs. In fact, it says in this story that
Ford lost nearly sixty thousand dollars on every EV it's
sold in the first quarter of this year. They lost
sixty grand on each electric vehicle.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, they lost I think four and a half billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Their profits are still being generated by gas powered pickups
and SUVs.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
That's what's really keeping the automaks of Detroit going still
is like Ford doesn't make I forgot, they either make
zero or only one sedan model. They don't do that anymore.
It's pickup trucks and SUVs because they people will patch
what people drive and they get the huge profits. And
as I mentioned before, the dealers have a lot of
(03:25):
electric vehicles on the lot and nobody wants them, you know,
for obvious reasons there's no charging stations. I mean, the
horror stories are multiplied by the day. Almost every day
I read about an ev horror story where people get
stuck trying to find a charging station one that works.
So it's it's it's a failure at this moment. Maybe
(03:47):
it works someday twenty years or fifty years. But the
government is giving the companies tons of tax money to
force them into manufactured during these cars that nobody wants.
And it takes far fewer workers to manufacture electric cars
because there are many parts that are not necessary anymore.
(04:10):
You don't need the whole chain that burns the gasoline.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, so it says here workers are trying to defend
jobs as manufacturing shifts, some in turtle combustion engines to
batteries because they have fewer parts. Electric cars can be
made with fewer workers in gasoline vehicles. A favorable outcome
would give the union a strong calling card. But if
it then tries to organize employees of Tesla, you see,
(04:37):
that's the response from GM and FORD is that we
have to compete with companies like Tesla's not unionized.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Tesla's not unionized. Neither is Hundai. Yeah, and you know
what else is that a lot of jobs have moved
to the South. And this is kind of ironic because
in the conservative Republican states, people there are right to
work laws and a lot of these auto factories work
without unionization, right, So the companies keep moving their operations south.
(05:11):
Even the foreign companies, the ones that manufacture here make
it in the South. So you have democratic states that
allow unions. But that drives up the cost of production tremendously,
which is the same thing that you're to kill the
(05:31):
auto industry fifteen years ago. Unions cost too much money
for automakers to compete. They do.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
That's so they're competing with Comparently, Hyundai is going to
open up, as you just mentioned, an EV plant in
the south in Georgia, massive new factory.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And if you keep voting for this crowd this particular
crowded Democrats with their weird green energy electric vehicle fetish,
there's going to be fewer jobs. So you've got to
vote differently. This is what happens when the government gets
involved in industrial production. This is what they did in
(06:11):
Russia and the entire nation's economy tanked, And that'll happen here.
You can't subsidize a product with billions of dollars when
the market doesn't want it. You're just going to have
the car sit there and eventually they're going to have
to be junked.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Ford said in July, it's electric vehicle business is going
to lose four and a half billion dollars this year.
So I don't know how long they can sustain that,
except that they're still profiting. I guess it's all being
made up by the gas powered cars.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah. Well, the thing is when something can't go on,
there's like a famous thing. When something can't go on,
it doesn't. So you can't lose four and a half
billion dollars a month. You can't have your your dealerships
with dozens and dozens of cars nobody wants. I've ever
seen a business that puts product out on the shelves
that nobody buys and they stay in business. That has
(07:05):
never happened in the history of capitalism. They did. You know,
maybe in communist nations they put out stuff and they
try to force you to buy it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, the advantage of Tesla's had and they're still growing,
is that they have an incredible charging network, and I
think you're probably aware that they're going to allow some
of the other auto manufacturer's cars to come in and
charge and their network.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
See, you can.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Modify the charging device and the plug into the car
in order to make it fit other cars. And that's
going to happen for a number of the automakers, I think,
beginning with next year's model year for some of them,
not the current cars, but I'm saying when they manufacture
forward next year, it'll be capable of.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Charging it at Tesla Tesla superchargers. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well, well it will probably help people in the charging
network at least to go further distances. But you know,
I see these electric vehicle advocates and evs are not
made for a road trip, right, And they say things.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Like, well, you know you're gonna stop for lunch for
an hour anyway, so you know, you just you just
charge your vehicle. It's like, well, hold on, you may
not even get much in an hour. Well, first of all, yeah,
you're not gonna get much. And secondly, uh, I want
to stop and pick up a burger and eat it
in the car and continue driving. So don't tell me
what I'm gonna do. Oh, you could just stop and
(08:27):
eat for I don't want to stop and eat for
an hour? Who are you? What's your name? Were you
telling me how to eat lunch? What are you telling
me how long I can stop for? I don't want
to stop. I want to stop for six minutes. Pump
up the gas, go get a burger, and be back
out on the road. I gotta I got, I got
a place to go.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And the other problem talk saying to these people, well,
all you have to do is all you have to
do is shut your mouth, get out of my business,
and then don't tell me what kind of car I'm
gonna drive. The other problem, which we've talked about before
is the range is not the range, No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That's a lie.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That's become a tough selling point for the EV manufacturers
who tell you that, oh, the range is two unwritten
up in miles. When you get out there at the
hot day and you run the air conditioner and they
go you need to charge and no time at all,
and you're screwed. So these are things that are gonna
have to overcome. All right, we got more coming up.
Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live everywhere, iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
All right, well, I told you that every hour of
the show today we would talk about some of the
horrible pieces of legislation that are making their way to
Newsom's desk, to the sign or veto. It's here's one
we've been looking at for quite a while. In fact,
we threw the author and the dumpster a while back.
As simply Member Laura Friedman from Burbank. Well, she got
(09:46):
AB six forty five passed in both houses of the
state legislature. That's the title here is speed Safety Cameras.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
That's the speed gump safety right. Yeah, they have to
put that ad in there. Forty seven was the Safe
Neighborhood and Schools Act. Yeah, there's everything about safety. Every
time they want to control our lives, steal our money,
or unleash prisoners onto the streets, it's all about safety.
Very simple.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The speed cameras would photograph the license plates of drivers
going eleven miles per hour or more over the.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Speed limit in any given area.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Those who are caught speeding within get tickets in the mail.
This would not be points on your license, but you
would presumably have to pay the tickets that you get
in and you'll get you'll get the ticket, even if
you're not the driver. They're not gonna take ProDOS to
the driver. They're gonna take your license. It's about the
car right to gain your car to somebody who speeds
like your child's well, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
About stealing money just because you're living a normal life.
And it's not it's not going to start with just this.
They're going to use these cameras to try to control
your behavior, period and they'll probably keep upping up the
the up the fine every so often. You know, eventually
it's gonna be five hundred dollars or eight hundred dollars
or twelve hundred dollars, and they're gonna just and it's
(11:07):
just part of an effort to make driving on the
roads uncomfortable. If they want to reduce the number of
people who get killed in the streets, put all the
homeless in the mental institution and the drug rehab centers, conservatorship. Yeah,
that's right, take all those people off the street and
let's see what happens to the numbers.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And I can't believe, you know, going back to that
story that we what is it one hundred and seventy
thousand homeless people in California. We don't have enough mental
health facilities to the state's huge.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It's a massive state of forty people. Have you really, honestly,
it's never gonna happen. Look like everything's insurmountable. So we
can continue to do what we do. When I was
in Florida, zero homeless people. I was up in Pennsylvania
visiting my brother. He lives in suburbia. I'm not Philly.
Almost people in his town, almost people in the city
I was in in Sarasota, So homeless people anywhere else though, there's.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No homeless people in many communities of southern California. But
in la is a different story.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Because because they allow it, and those are the people
getting run over, and who are they getting run over by.
They're by by like crazed drug addicts and gang members
and people doing street racing. You know, at two o'clock
in the morning, you don't see the homeless guy wabbling
around in the middle of the night, and he gets flattened.
And so they have this crisis here, this emergency. There's
something about the Spain.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But it's like, you know, here's the cartoon. This Laura
Friedman standing there on a quarter in Burbank, right, this
assembly member.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, and she sees a car go by.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's eleven miles per hour over the speed limit. Oh
my god, we got to do something. He's like a
dead homeless person lying at her feet, right, Yeah, that
gets no.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Intention And they know this. That's the thing. They know this,
so I know their intention is just to steal our
money and get a little get a little an another
like psychological boost from controlling us. That's what it is.
They'd like controlling us, all right. That's what the whole
COVID fanaticism was about from government is control us. That's
(13:09):
why they're always on a trigger to make us put
on a mask again to have another lockdown right time.
Every time you hear about all slide up ticking COVID case,
Oh it's not going to be the masks or are
they going to come back. It's about the impulse to
you would not get in government unless you wanted to
control what other people do, and that is true for everyone,
both parties and government. They just want to control different things.
(13:31):
It's all the annoying control freaks that you knew throughout
your life. They're all now in one place in Sacramento. Now,
to be.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Clear, this bill is a pilot program and it's only
allowing this in six California cities including of course Los
Angeles and Long Beach and Glendale would have to be
in this lady's home market there, Laura Friedman's Glendale burbank.
It's supposed to be a five year pilot program. If
knew some signs the bill, which I don't have no
idea how he feels about this, but so after five
(14:00):
years they would say, oh, this is great.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Where we're spitting no one's being killed. Let's do it
in every town.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
What is this five year pilot program? What is that
they want to see if it's going to work. Well,
of course it's going to work. They're going to snap
photos and send the tickets out and get the money. Oh,
I know, they're going to tell us they save lives.
That's what they really of course they will remember.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Remember stupid feeble Garcettes Vision zero program ten years ago,
and as soon as he implemented it all the number
of people killed by cars went up. And why was
that because coincidentally it was the same time that the
homeless exploded. If you have people living in the streets
and sleeping in the streets in the dark, they are
(14:43):
going to get run over. Who else wanders in the
streets at night? Who else? It's just the homeless be
of the drug addicts and the mental patients, and they
get run over by the other crazy people who are
out of two in the morning. And then so we've
got to pay money.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
For that, all right, Coming up after three o'clock. One
bill that did make its way through would punish the
sex traffickers of miners more severely. We'll talk to the
state senator behind at Shennon Grove. We expect newsom we'll
sign it. That'll come up after three. John and KENKFI
AM six forty live everywhere iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We're on the iHeartRadio app the John and Kent on
demand podcast after four o'clock every day. I never say
this stuff. It's complicated. Well, you know, it comes out automatically,
so I don't pay attention to it. So when I
my rhythm is disturbed, I have to go back and
start over again, rebooting my rhythm.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
All right, we'll be talking to State Senator Shennon Grove
after the news at three o'clock. Her bill to go
after the traffickers sex traffickers of miners did finally pass
after a long ordeal both houses of the state legislature,
and we'll talk about that and what it means. It
was even feted today by that Elsigundo Times columnist George Killing.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Big victory for Republicans and Zacramento.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's nice, but honestly, the thousands of bills that should
be passed, they finally at least let this one throw.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And it's a small thing, but it's a good thing.
You have so many weird o perverts representing the Democrats
in the legislature that they that they thought selling children
into sex slavery was a good thing. Shouldn't be It.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Shouldn't be a serious fellow, wouldn't be a serious offense,
not a big because they rather.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
They hate the three strikes law. They hated. They hated they.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Think it's created such terror in the state, where of
course the opposite is true.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
They hated so much they're willing to sell children into
sex slavery.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
All right, now, we're gonna play by the theme today
I think is mentally ill. We told you right at
the top of the show that the man who has
been arrested for killing the La County Sheriff's deputy Saturday,
or rather Friday in Palmdale, his mother at least says
he's a paranoid s getsophrenic. Then told you that they're
trying to change the conservative ship laws in California to
(17:03):
take the mentally ill people in even if they don't
want to be taken in for treatment. We bring you
now to this story about a woman in Venice named
Talia Landman. Wow, this is really creepy. This is from
ABC seven reporter Carlos Gromda.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Talia Landman describes herself as an ultra runner, but now
once she's out, she's always worried and looks around to
make sure she's safe.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I have pepper spray on me. I have this ring
I wear that's by a brand Holed Go Guarded, and
it has a little knife in there in case I
need to punch him or something. Because he's been he
would ride his bike and sneak up on me.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Landman is afraid of this man, David Kroll, who she
says was homeless and hung out around her apartment. He
started stalking her years ago and was sent to prison,
but was recently released. Landman says she didn't know that
until a few days ago when neighbors sent her these
pictures of Kroll near her home wearing an ankle bracelet.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
I was completely shocked. I almost I was in the
stand disbelief. I almost didn't believe it because I was
supposed to be notified.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
She then went on social media telling others what is happening.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I'm really sad to say, super sad to say that
he's back on the streets in Venice Beach.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Checking on Kroll's criminal record, we found a number of
incidents dating back to two thousand and eight, Lanman says.
In her case, Kroll was convicted of stalking in April
of twenty twenty two. She says, when he was sentenced
to six years in prison, he had a violent outburst
in court.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
He got belligerent in the courtroom. He stood up, be
banged on the table, turned down, looked at me and
promised me that he would come back to kill me
once he was released.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Landman isn't sure where Kroll is now. The Department of
Corrections told us Kroll received credits for time served and
was released on June twenty eighth. It can't comment, however,
about specific victims or if they were notified. Landman fields,
the system has let her down.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
They have failed me in so many ways. It was
such a circus. I am almost not even shocked that
this has this happened.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Landman says she is now going to move away from
Venice and Los Angeles County altogether. She says she simply
does not feel safe here anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I had some Channel seven and reporter Carlos Grande. I mean,
let's go through this story. He's convicted of stalking in
April of twenty twenty two. He gets six years. But
where are we now September of twenty twenty three and
he's walking around Venice with an ankle monel.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He was released after fourteen months. How does six years
become fourteen months? And the prison department says credit for
time served? That is nonsense. But you know what this is.
This is Prop fifty seven. So I asked Kalia Landman,
did you vote for Prop fifty seven? Did you vote
for Prop forty seven? Did you vote for Gavin Newsom?
(19:49):
And Jerry Brown, who appoints the people to run the
prison system, to run the parole board. Did you vote
for the people in the legislature who've destroyed all the
penalties that we normally gave to creeps like this? This
is your votes. And I don't know how she voted,
(20:10):
but hey, she's a woman in Venice. I'm ninety percent
of the women in Venice vote Democratic, So you tell me,
this is the karma that you send out into the world.
You vote for lunatics. Lunatics do stupid things, and suddenly
you've got to move out of the county because they
can't take a guy like this and keep him in
(20:31):
prison for more than fourteen months.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Hanging out near her home wearing an ankle bracelet, so
he's already returned to the scene of the crime.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
He's ready to find her. She better get out of there.
And I'm kind of losing patience with the world. I
really am. Everybody I know is talking about the crime constantly,
and all the mental patients and the drug addicts and
the vagrants running around and the smash and grab robberies,
you know, and they're all right, everything they're saying is right,
and they they all want to move. They don't know
what to do. This happen and in the back of
(21:01):
my mind, I mean, I could start a fight like
eight times a day. It's like, who'd you vote for?
Who did you vote? I know who they voted for.
They voted for their valid measures. Did you vote what
now development? Yes? Exactly? Did you vote for Prop forty seven,
the Safe Neighborhood in Schools Act? Did you vote for Prop?
Fifty seven, which created a world where you could even
rape an unconscious woman and it's not a serious felony,
(21:25):
I mean, and and Prop fifty seven more importantly allowed
the Department of Corrections, which is a stupid name, to
basically make up sentences after the fact. It doesn't matter
what the judge says six years for this stalking crime,
A let's make it fourteen months. Go ahead, and.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's corrections and rehabilitation mind you, Yeah, nothing is correct.
Did not half the name. It's about rehabbing these people.
They're gonna be great citizens. Like this creep in Venice
wandering around outside this lady's apartment. I did you see
the video too? He's weird, almost gonna He's wearing a
Kilton one seen as another one. He's holding some sort
of a stick or a pipe or something like that. Yeah,
(22:05):
he's like the again conservativeship take them in? Who cares
take them in? Medicate that they have to have. I
want to go back to the fifties. I want one
flu over the cuckoo's nest because you.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Didn't have these people running around back in the fifties,
the sixties, the seventies, the eighties, you didn't have these
people running around. And I want to go back to
that time too, And we deserve to be back at
that time.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I said, be plenty of activists to sue if there's
ever bad behavior by people in these institutions that treating
the patients. I mean, honestly, it's not like it was
that it'd be so much monitoring that it would not
be anything like that might be.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Why is it so hard to run a mental hospital
without torturing the patients? Who the hell were they hiring?
They were were they hiring some of the mental patients?
Well who wants that job? Right? Well? Yeah, exactly, well
who does want that job?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So you probably pay stinking wages to people to just
to look after mentally ill people sitting in their heads against.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
The wall all day. So the solution is we've got
to put up with them in the streets and this
this lady's got to be stalked for years. Yeah. I
can't believe. I, you know, mentally ill people right a
tiny percentage of the population. Drug addicts are a tiny percentage.
I can't believe how they absolutely rule our lives in
Los Angeles and nowhere else. I told you, I went
(23:24):
to Pennsylvania, I went to Florida. There was none of this.
Do we only have do we have all the mental
patients here in California, in LA and they're not anywhere else.
They're not equitably distributed across the country. It's just here.
It's gotta be us, It's gotta be our laws. All right,
we'll be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Johnny Ken KFI AM six forty live everywhere I Heart
Radio app.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
All right, we'll have a state Senator Shannon Grove coming
on the show to take sort of a later victory lap.
They did finally pass her bill in Sacramento which would
punish those who sex traffic miners, says Serious offenses, which
could result in a strike on their record under California's
three strikes laws. It was quite a battle to get
(24:14):
this bill through both the State Senate and the State Assembly,
particularly the Assembly.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The Public Safety Safety Committee, with that weirdo Reggie Jones
Sawyer wanting to protect the right of men to sell
young girls into sex slavery, thought it was very important.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I mean, we bring you this story to make a
point that this bill is important. It's not minor, but
this is all you can kind of get done with
this group. That's how much they hold the line on
anything dealing with punishment. They got to go.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They have to be overthrown.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
And as John just had that rant about people complaining
about crime, well you got to do something about the
people that are running the state that's where this is
coming from, and the people that vote for these ballot measures.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You got an election in fourteen months, you got to
vote for different people. Well two years from now, we're
gonna be doing exactly the same show, and you're gonna
be offended and horrified and outraged, Like stop it, stop
being outraged. Vote differently.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
All the problems we're talking about will be at your
front door. Finally, where is there some other neighborhood where
you don't think.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It's just La, it's every problem.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, John, I think we found you a soulmate. We
have a former property manager and property caretaker for Kanye
West who's now known, of course as.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yay y E Yay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
This man is suing because he says that he was
fired because he would not basically make Kanye West's Malibu
home into some sort of a retro bomb shelter. So,
just like you, Yay is preparing I guess for armageddon
from Vladimir Putin a.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Nukes or anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
He wanted all the windows, electricity removed from the home.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
This guy's name is Tony Saxon. Yay alleged he insisted
that Saxon moved large.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Generators into the home, and Yay ordered him to get
the hell out and told him he'd be considered an
enemy if he did not comply.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
With the orders. And who's this guy.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
He's the contractor, the guy that was doing the work
at Yay's home. Well, so Yay Yay is pay now,
Yay didn't pay. That's the other thing. Oh, he says
he only got like one payment. He says here Yay
promised to pay him twenty grand a week. Yeah, you know,
but they made only two payments, one to cover his
weekly salary, another for the project's budget. So it was
(26:32):
I guess that was the real fight, right, is that
I was refusing to do the work right. But apparently
this guy is laid out in detail that Yay really
wanted to create quite a bunker, it says here. Yeah,
and he claims that this was going to violate a
bunch of labor codes, including dangerous working conditions, unpaid wages,
wrongful retaliatory termination, it says he.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
But Yay bought the house.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
In September of twenty twenty one in an off market
d and the idea was to make the home like
a bomb shelter from the nineteen tens by demolishing the
marble bathrooms, removing the custom windows, the plumbing electricity, replacing.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
The stairs with slides. I guess you get out of
there faster with slides. You know what, Kanye needs a
conservative ship. I think that's kind of the conclusion of
this story is the theme of today's show. All the
people that need conservative ships, right, I'm with them on
the bomb shelter though, Yeah, well he thought at first
(27:32):
it was just going to be an art project, an
art project, but it says here he could hide here
from the Clintons and from the Kardashians in this place.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I guess that's part of the ramp that Yay went on.
Clinton's so sort of weird. Yeah, I didn't know that
the Clintons. I mean, we know about the Kardashians.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well, the Kardashians.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, he wanted no electricity, he wanted only plants, he
only wanted candles, he only wanted battery lights.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
You wanted to have everything open and dark.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You can't keep in the house because he had no
refrigerator left, there were no windows. I had seagulls flying in.
Apparently Saxon had to live there where he was working
on the place, and I guess not getting paid because
he said, uh he ya, did not want to be
a slave to modern conveniences, and I was a special one.
He wanted his own privatized Wi Fi network, so I
(28:20):
guess nobody could tap in on this, and he wants
to have an alternative source of energy. No doors, no windows,
no fixtures, just concrete. Well, there are no windows. How
could the seagulls fly in there's no windows.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, because I guess there's an open space. Maybe yeah,
it's just an open space. Then the radiation is going
to come in.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Uh yeah, maybe this wasn't so much about the nukes trying.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
To deconstruct the lunatics thinking, I know, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So, by the way, I heard a report on Putin
today from I guess it was the Ukrainians that he
thinks that next year, all of the havoc in the
United States over the election will give him good cover
to once again threaten nuclear devastation of Ukraine unless they surrender.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I watched Zelenski get interviewed on sixty Minutes last night. Oh,
I think that's where it came that way, That was
in the story that that that Putin is banking on
chaos in the United States next year over the election,
absolute chaos because it's Trump against Biden and that well
just I don't know, there's a lot of weird movements
going on out there. I mean, I think I think
(29:27):
next year is a good year to bet on civil war.
I do next year, okay, yeah, before the election, before yeah,
run up to the election. Then if the election doesn't
go the correct way, then Oh my god, I don't
know what is the correct way to defense. Who's doing
the writing. If Trump wins here again, it gets right.
Could be the antifas versus that insurrection crowd.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
But if Biden wins, here comes the Maga people, the
capital takeover.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
When we come back, we're going to talk to State
Senator Shannon Grove at least one more time. The Republican
from Bakersfield finally got her away with her bill to
go after the sex traffickers of children. John and Ken
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere, iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Deborah Mark live in the twenty four hour Caffe Newsroom.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Hey, you've been listening to the John and Ken Show.
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty one pm to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
If I am six forty, you're listening to the John
and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You
can hear the show from one till four every day,
and then after four o'clock on the iHeart app John
and Ken on Demand podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Like I said, we'll be getting to more of the
crazy legislation that's made its way to dipity de Gavin
Newsom's desk. It was a frenzy on Friday as they
went out of session for months in Sacramento. There are
some whoppers in there. I'll just give you one headline,
the speed camera bill that's made you to Newsom. All right,
so we'll get into all this coming up later on
this hour. We're gonna begin with the United Auto Workers strike,
(00:41):
which made news. It was announced on Friday. The union
has simultaneously struck against General Motors, Ford and John.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You'll have to help me. Stalantis Nay owned Chrysler.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I didn't know they were the name there. Yeah, Oh
that's their name now Stalantis Stalantis is the parent company.
Oh okay, well, it was the first time in history
all three have been struck. They apparently elected some head
by the name of Sean Fain who promised new militancy
against the auto companies, record profits, big pay for the executives.
(01:14):
We're coming to get it. Well, they're really asking for well,
they want a thirty six percent pay increase over four
years and a thirty two hour workweek with overtime for
additional hours. They want the restoration of retiree health benefits
and defined benefit pensions for all workers. Dah, if you
heard me right, that's like the government thing. Remember that
(01:35):
went out the way of four to one k's a
long time ago, but they want.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It back for all workers to find pension. Well, the
defined pensions almost bankrupted the big automakers fifteen years ago
and they had to get rid of them. And because
they're unsustainable, right, there's no way in the end for
the companies to pay that. You have to take the
responsibility and invest the money yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
The response this is the automakers will give you maybe
seventeen and a half to twenty percent, but a thirty
two hour workweek, restoration of retirement benefits for newer workers
and non starters.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
They're not going to go for that. Well, go out
of business.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So a lot of this apparently can be traced back
at least according to stories actually in both the New
York Times and the Wall Street Journal, to this push
towards electric vehicle production. That's part of the problem here
because of the Biden administration's policy mandating a rapid transition
to electric vehicles. And of course we know what California
is doing. The EUAW knows that electric vehicles require fewer
(02:34):
workers to make and will jeopardize union jobs making gas
power jobs. In fact, it says in this story that
Ford lost nearly sixty thousand dollars on every EV it's
sold in the first quarter of this year. They lost
sixty grand on each electric vehicle.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, they lost I think four and a half billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Their profits are still being generated by gas powered pickups
and SUVs.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
That's what's really keeping the automaks of Detroit going still
is like Ford doesn't make I forgot, they either make
zero or only one sedan model. They don't do that anymore.
It's pickup trucks and SUVs because they people will patch
what people drive and they get the huge profits. And
as I mentioned before, the dealers have a lot of
(03:25):
electric vehicles on the lot and nobody wants them, you know,
for obvious reasons there's no charging stations. I mean, the
horror stories are multiplied by the day. Almost every day
I read about an ev horror story where people get
stuck trying to find a charging station one that works.
So it's it's it's a failure at this moment. Maybe
(03:47):
it works someday twenty years or fifty years. But the
government is giving the companies tons of tax money to
force them into manufactured during these cars that nobody wants.
And it takes far fewer workers to manufacture electric cars
because there are many parts that are not necessary anymore.
(04:10):
You don't need the whole chain that burns the gasoline.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, so it says here workers are trying to defend
jobs as manufacturing shifts, some in turtle combustion engines to
batteries because they have fewer parts. Electric cars can be
made with fewer workers in gasoline vehicles. A favorable outcome
would give the union a strong calling card. But if
it then tries to organize employees of Tesla, you see,
(04:37):
that's the response from GM and FORD is that we
have to compete with companies like Tesla's not unionized.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Tesla's not unionized. Neither is Hundai. Yeah, and you know
what else is that a lot of jobs have moved
to the South. And this is kind of ironic because
in the conservative Republican states, people there are right to
work laws and a lot of these auto factories work
without unionization, right, So the companies keep moving their operations south.
(05:11):
Even the foreign companies, the ones that manufacture here make
it in the South. So you have democratic states that
allow unions. But that drives up the cost of production tremendously,
which is the same thing that you're to kill the
(05:31):
auto industry fifteen years ago. Unions cost too much money
for automakers to compete. They do.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
That's so they're competing with Comparently, Hyundai is going to
open up, as you just mentioned, an EV plant in
the south in Georgia, massive new factory.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And if you keep voting for this crowd this particular
crowded Democrats with their weird green energy electric vehicle fetish,
there's going to be fewer jobs. So you've got to
vote differently. This is what happens when the government gets
involved in industrial production. This is what they did in
(06:11):
Russia and the entire nation's economy tanked, And that'll happen here.
You can't subsidize a product with billions of dollars when
the market doesn't want it. You're just going to have
the car sit there and eventually they're going to have
to be junked.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Ford said in July, it's electric vehicle business is going
to lose four and a half billion dollars this year.
So I don't know how long they can sustain that,
except that they're still profiting. I guess it's all being
made up by the gas powered cars.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah. Well, the thing is when something can't go on,
there's like a famous thing. When something can't go on,
it doesn't. So you can't lose four and a half
billion dollars a month. You can't have your your dealerships
with dozens and dozens of cars nobody wants. I've ever
seen a business that puts product out on the shelves
that nobody buys and they stay in business. That has
(07:05):
never happened in the history of capitalism. They did. You know,
maybe in communist nations they put out stuff and they
try to force you to buy it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well, the advantage of Tesla's had and they're still growing,
is that they have an incredible charging network, and I
think you're probably aware that they're going to allow some
of the other auto manufacturer's cars to come in and
charge and their network.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
See, you can.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Modify the charging device and the plug into the car
in order to make it fit other cars. And that's
going to happen for a number of the automakers, I think,
beginning with next year's model year for some of them,
not the current cars, but I'm saying when they manufacture
forward next year, it'll be capable of.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Charging it at Tesla Tesla superchargers. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well, well it will probably help people in the charging
network at least to go further distances. But you know,
I see these electric vehicle advocates and evs are not
made for a road trip, right, And they say things.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Like, well, you know you're gonna stop for lunch for
an hour anyway, so you know, you just you just
charge your vehicle. It's like, well, hold on, you may
not even get much in an hour. Well, first of all, yeah,
you're not gonna get much. And secondly, uh, I want
to stop and pick up a burger and eat it
in the car and continue driving. So don't tell me
what I'm gonna do. Oh, you could just stop and
(08:27):
eat for I don't want to stop and eat for
an hour? Who are you? What's your name? Were you
telling me how to eat lunch? What are you telling
me how long I can stop for? I don't want
to stop. I want to stop for six minutes. Pump
up the gas, go get a burger, and be back
out on the road. I gotta I got, I got
a place to go.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And the other problem talk saying to these people, well,
all you have to do is all you have to
do is shut your mouth, get out of my business,
and then don't tell me what kind of car I'm
gonna drive. The other problem, which we've talked about before
is the range is not the range, No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That's a lie.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
That's become a tough selling point for the EV manufacturers
who tell you that, oh, the range is two unwritten
up in miles. When you get out there at the
hot day and you run the air conditioner and they
go you need to charge and no time at all,
and you're screwed. So these are things that are gonna
have to overcome. All right, we got more coming up.
Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live everywhere, iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
All right, well, I told you that every hour of
the show today we would talk about some of the
horrible pieces of legislation that are making their way to
Newsom's desk, to the sign or veto. It's here's one
we've been looking at for quite a while. In fact,
we threw the author and the dumpster a while back.
As simply Member Laura Friedman from Burbank. Well, she got
(09:46):
AB six forty five passed in both houses of the
state legislature. That's the title here is speed Safety Cameras.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
That's the speed gump safety right. Yeah, they have to
put that ad in there. Forty seven was the Safe
Neighborhood and Schools Act. Yeah, there's everything about safety. Every
time they want to control our lives, steal our money,
or unleash prisoners onto the streets, it's all about safety.
Very simple.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
The speed cameras would photograph the license plates of drivers
going eleven miles per hour or more over the.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Speed limit in any given area.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Those who are caught speeding within get tickets in the mail.
This would not be points on your license, but you
would presumably have to pay the tickets that you get
in and you'll get you'll get the ticket, even if
you're not the driver. They're not gonna take ProDOS to
the driver. They're gonna take your license. It's about the
car right to gain your car to somebody who speeds
like your child's well, it's.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
About stealing money just because you're living a normal life.
And it's not it's not going to start with just this.
They're going to use these cameras to try to control
your behavior, period and they'll probably keep upping up the
the up the fine every so often. You know, eventually
it's gonna be five hundred dollars or eight hundred dollars
or twelve hundred dollars, and they're gonna just and it's
(11:07):
just part of an effort to make driving on the
roads uncomfortable. If they want to reduce the number of
people who get killed in the streets, put all the
homeless in the mental institution and the drug rehab centers, conservatorship. Yeah,
that's right, take all those people off the street and
let's see what happens to the numbers.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
And I can't believe, you know, going back to that
story that we what is it one hundred and seventy
thousand homeless people in California. We don't have enough mental
health facilities to the state's huge.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It's a massive state of forty people. Have you really, honestly,
it's never gonna happen. Look like everything's insurmountable. So we
can continue to do what we do. When I was
in Florida, zero homeless people. I was up in Pennsylvania
visiting my brother. He lives in suburbia. I'm not Philly.
Almost people in his town, almost people in the city
I was in in Sarasota, So homeless people anywhere else though, there's.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No homeless people in many communities of southern California. But
in la is a different story.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Because because they allow it, and those are the people
getting run over, and who are they getting run over by.
They're by by like crazed drug addicts and gang members
and people doing street racing. You know, at two o'clock
in the morning, you don't see the homeless guy wabbling
around in the middle of the night, and he gets flattened.
And so they have this crisis here, this emergency. There's
something about the Spain.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But it's like, you know, here's the cartoon. This Laura
Friedman standing there on a quarter in Burbank, right, this
assembly member.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, and she sees a car go by.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's eleven miles per hour over the speed limit. Oh
my god, we got to do something. He's like a
dead homeless person lying at her feet, right, Yeah, that
gets no.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Intention And they know this. That's the thing. They know this,
so I know their intention is just to steal our
money and get a little get a little an another
like psychological boost from controlling us. That's what it is.
They'd like controlling us, all right. That's what the whole
COVID fanaticism was about from government is control us. That's
(13:09):
why they're always on a trigger to make us put
on a mask again to have another lockdown right time.
Every time you hear about all slide up ticking COVID case,
Oh it's not going to be the masks or are
they going to come back. It's about the impulse to
you would not get in government unless you wanted to
control what other people do, and that is true for everyone,
both parties and government. They just want to control different things.
(13:31):
It's all the annoying control freaks that you knew throughout
your life. They're all now in one place in Sacramento. Now,
to be.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Clear, this bill is a pilot program and it's only
allowing this in six California cities including of course Los
Angeles and Long Beach and Glendale would have to be
in this lady's home market there, Laura Friedman's Glendale burbank.
It's supposed to be a five year pilot program. If
knew some signs the bill, which I don't have no
idea how he feels about this, but so after five
(14:00):
years they would say, oh, this is great.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Where we're spitting no one's being killed. Let's do it
in every town.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
What is this five year pilot program? What is that
they want to see if it's going to work. Well,
of course it's going to work. They're going to snap
photos and send the tickets out and get the money. Oh,
I know, they're going to tell us they save lives.
That's what they really of course they will remember.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Remember stupid feeble Garcettes Vision zero program ten years ago,
and as soon as he implemented it all the number
of people killed by cars went up. And why was
that because coincidentally it was the same time that the
homeless exploded. If you have people living in the streets
and sleeping in the streets in the dark, they are
(14:43):
going to get run over. Who else wanders in the
streets at night? Who else? It's just the homeless be
of the drug addicts and the mental patients, and they
get run over by the other crazy people who are
out of two in the morning. And then so we've
got to pay money.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
For that, all right, Coming up after three o'clock. One
bill that did make its way through would punish the
sex traffickers of miners more severely. We'll talk to the
state senator behind at Shennon Grove. We expect newsom we'll
sign it. That'll come up after three. John and KENKFI
AM six forty live everywhere iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We're on the iHeartRadio app the John and Kent on
demand podcast after four o'clock every day. I never say
this stuff. It's complicated. Well, you know, it comes out automatically,
so I don't pay attention to it. So when I
my rhythm is disturbed, I have to go back and
start over again, rebooting my rhythm.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
All right, we'll be talking to State Senator Shennon Grove
after the news at three o'clock. Her bill to go
after the traffickers sex traffickers of miners did finally pass
after a long ordeal both houses of the state legislature,
and we'll talk about that and what it means. It
was even feted today by that Elsigundo Times columnist George Killing.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Big victory for Republicans and Zacramento.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's nice, but honestly, the thousands of bills that should
be passed, they finally at least let this one throw.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And it's a small thing, but it's a good thing.
You have so many weird o perverts representing the Democrats
in the legislature that they that they thought selling children
into sex slavery was a good thing. Shouldn't be It.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Shouldn't be a serious fellow, wouldn't be a serious offense,
not a big because they rather.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
They hate the three strikes law. They hated. They hated they.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Think it's created such terror in the state, where of
course the opposite is true.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
They hated so much they're willing to sell children into
sex slavery.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
All right, now, we're gonna play by the theme today
I think is mentally ill. We told you right at
the top of the show that the man who has
been arrested for killing the La County Sheriff's deputy Saturday,
or rather Friday in Palmdale, his mother at least says
he's a paranoid s getsophrenic. Then told you that they're
trying to change the conservative ship laws in California to
(17:03):
take the mentally ill people in even if they don't
want to be taken in for treatment. We bring you
now to this story about a woman in Venice named
Talia Landman. Wow, this is really creepy. This is from
ABC seven reporter Carlos Gromda.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Talia Landman describes herself as an ultra runner, but now
once she's out, she's always worried and looks around to
make sure she's safe.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I have pepper spray on me. I have this ring
I wear that's by a brand Holed Go Guarded, and
it has a little knife in there in case I
need to punch him or something. Because he's been he
would ride his bike and sneak up on me.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Landman is afraid of this man, David Kroll, who she
says was homeless and hung out around her apartment. He
started stalking her years ago and was sent to prison,
but was recently released. Landman says she didn't know that
until a few days ago when neighbors sent her these
pictures of Kroll near her home wearing an ankle bracelet.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
I was completely shocked. I almost I was in the
stand disbelief. I almost didn't believe it because I was
supposed to be notified.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
She then went on social media telling others what is happening.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
I'm really sad to say, super sad to say that
he's back on the streets in Venice Beach.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Checking on Kroll's criminal record, we found a number of
incidents dating back to two thousand and eight, Lanman says.
In her case, Kroll was convicted of stalking in April
of twenty twenty two. She says, when he was sentenced
to six years in prison, he had a violent outburst
in court.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
He got belligerent in the courtroom. He stood up, be
banged on the table, turned down, looked at me and
promised me that he would come back to kill me
once he was released.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Landman isn't sure where Kroll is now. The Department of
Corrections told us Kroll received credits for time served and
was released on June twenty eighth. It can't comment, however,
about specific victims or if they were notified. Landman fields,
the system has let her down.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
They have failed me in so many ways. It was
such a circus. I am almost not even shocked that
this has this happened.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Landman says she is now going to move away from
Venice and Los Angeles County altogether. She says she simply
does not feel safe here anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I had some Channel seven and reporter Carlos Grande. I mean,
let's go through this story. He's convicted of stalking in
April of twenty twenty two. He gets six years. But
where are we now September of twenty twenty three and
he's walking around Venice with an ankle monel.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He was released after fourteen months. How does six years
become fourteen months? And the prison department says credit for
time served? That is nonsense. But you know what this is.
This is Prop fifty seven. So I asked Kalia Landman,
did you vote for Prop fifty seven? Did you vote
for Prop forty seven? Did you vote for Gavin Newsom?
(19:49):
And Jerry Brown, who appoints the people to run the
prison system, to run the parole board. Did you vote
for the people in the legislature who've destroyed all the
penalties that we normally gave to creeps like this? This
is your votes. And I don't know how she voted,
(20:10):
but hey, she's a woman in Venice. I'm ninety percent
of the women in Venice vote Democratic, So you tell me,
this is the karma that you send out into the world.
You vote for lunatics. Lunatics do stupid things, and suddenly
you've got to move out of the county because they
can't take a guy like this and keep him in
(20:31):
prison for more than fourteen months.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Hanging out near her home wearing an ankle bracelet, so
he's already returned to the scene of the crime.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
He's ready to find her. She better get out of there.
And I'm kind of losing patience with the world. I
really am. Everybody I know is talking about the crime constantly,
and all the mental patients and the drug addicts and
the vagrants running around and the smash and grab robberies,
you know, and they're all right, everything they're saying is right,
and they they all want to move. They don't know
what to do. This happen and in the back of
(21:01):
my mind, I mean, I could start a fight like
eight times a day. It's like, who'd you vote for?
Who did you vote? I know who they voted for.
They voted for their valid measures. Did you vote what
now development? Yes? Exactly? Did you vote for Prop forty seven,
the Safe Neighborhood in Schools Act? Did you vote for Prop?
Fifty seven, which created a world where you could even
rape an unconscious woman and it's not a serious felony,
(21:25):
I mean, and and Prop fifty seven more importantly allowed
the Department of Corrections, which is a stupid name, to
basically make up sentences after the fact. It doesn't matter
what the judge says six years for this stalking crime,
A let's make it fourteen months. Go ahead, and.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
It's corrections and rehabilitation mind you, Yeah, nothing is correct.
Did not half the name. It's about rehabbing these people.
They're gonna be great citizens. Like this creep in Venice
wandering around outside this lady's apartment. I did you see
the video too? He's weird, almost gonna He's wearing a
Kilton one seen as another one. He's holding some sort
of a stick or a pipe or something like that. Yeah,
(22:05):
he's like the again conservativeship take them in? Who cares
take them in? Medicate that they have to have. I
want to go back to the fifties. I want one
flu over the cuckoo's nest because you.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Didn't have these people running around back in the fifties,
the sixties, the seventies, the eighties, you didn't have these
people running around. And I want to go back to
that time too, And we deserve to be back at
that time.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I said, be plenty of activists to sue if there's
ever bad behavior by people in these institutions that treating
the patients. I mean, honestly, it's not like it was
that it'd be so much monitoring that it would not
be anything like that might be.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Why is it so hard to run a mental hospital
without torturing the patients? Who the hell were they hiring?
They were were they hiring some of the mental patients?
Well who wants that job? Right? Well? Yeah, exactly, well
who does want that job?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
So you probably pay stinking wages to people to just
to look after mentally ill people sitting in their heads against.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
The wall all day. So the solution is we've got
to put up with them in the streets and this
this lady's got to be stalked for years. Yeah. I
can't believe. I, you know, mentally ill people right a
tiny percentage of the population. Drug addicts are a tiny percentage.
I can't believe how they absolutely rule our lives in
Los Angeles and nowhere else. I told you, I went
(23:24):
to Pennsylvania, I went to Florida. There was none of this.
Do we only have do we have all the mental
patients here in California, in LA and they're not anywhere else.
They're not equitably distributed across the country. It's just here.
It's gotta be us, It's gotta be our laws. All right,
we'll be back in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Johnny Ken KFI AM six forty live everywhere I Heart
Radio app.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
All right, we'll have a state Senator Shannon Grove coming
on the show to take sort of a later victory lap.
They did finally pass her bill in Sacramento which would
punish those who sex traffic miners, says Serious offenses, which
could result in a strike on their record under California's
three strikes laws. It was quite a battle to get
(24:14):
this bill through both the State Senate and the State Assembly,
particularly the Assembly.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The Public Safety Safety Committee, with that weirdo Reggie Jones
Sawyer wanting to protect the right of men to sell
young girls into sex slavery, thought it was very important.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I mean, we bring you this story to make a
point that this bill is important. It's not minor, but
this is all you can kind of get done with
this group. That's how much they hold the line on
anything dealing with punishment. They got to go.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They have to be overthrown.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
And as John just had that rant about people complaining
about crime, well you got to do something about the
people that are running the state that's where this is
coming from, and the people that vote for these ballot measures.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You got an election in fourteen months, you got to
vote for different people. Well two years from now, we're
gonna be doing exactly the same show, and you're gonna
be offended and horrified and outraged, Like stop it, stop
being outraged. Vote differently.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
All the problems we're talking about will be at your
front door. Finally, where is there some other neighborhood where
you don't think.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It's just La, it's every problem.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, John, I think we found you a soulmate. We
have a former property manager and property caretaker for Kanye
West who's now known, of course as.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yay y E Yay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
This man is suing because he says that he was
fired because he would not basically make Kanye West's Malibu
home into some sort of a retro bomb shelter. So,
just like you, Yay is preparing I guess for armageddon
from Vladimir Putin a.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Nukes or anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
He wanted all the windows, electricity removed from the home.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
This guy's name is Tony Saxon. Yay alleged he insisted
that Saxon moved large.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Generators into the home, and Yay ordered him to get
the hell out and told him he'd be considered an
enemy if he did not comply.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
With the orders. And who's this guy.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
He's the contractor, the guy that was doing the work
at Yay's home. Well, so Yay Yay is pay now,
Yay didn't pay. That's the other thing. Oh, he says
he only got like one payment. He says here Yay
promised to pay him twenty grand a week. Yeah, you know,
but they made only two payments, one to cover his
weekly salary, another for the project's budget. So it was
(26:32):
I guess that was the real fight, right, is that
I was refusing to do the work right. But apparently
this guy is laid out in detail that Yay really
wanted to create quite a bunker, it says here. Yeah,
and he claims that this was going to violate a
bunch of labor codes, including dangerous working conditions, unpaid wages,
wrongful retaliatory termination, it says he.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
But Yay bought the house.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
In September of twenty twenty one in an off market
d and the idea was to make the home like
a bomb shelter from the nineteen tens by demolishing the
marble bathrooms, removing the custom windows, the plumbing electricity, replacing.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
The stairs with slides. I guess you get out of
there faster with slides. You know what, Kanye needs a
conservative ship. I think that's kind of the conclusion of
this story is the theme of today's show. All the
people that need conservative ships, right, I'm with them on
the bomb shelter though, Yeah, well he thought at first
(27:32):
it was just going to be an art project, an
art project, but it says here he could hide here
from the Clintons and from the Kardashians in this place.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I guess that's part of the ramp that Yay went on.
Clinton's so sort of weird. Yeah, I didn't know that
the Clintons. I mean, we know about the Kardashians.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well, the Kardashians.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, he wanted no electricity, he wanted only plants, he
only wanted candles, he only wanted battery lights.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
You wanted to have everything open and dark.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You can't keep in the house because he had no
refrigerator left, there were no windows. I had seagulls flying in.
Apparently Saxon had to live there where he was working
on the place, and I guess not getting paid because
he said, uh he ya, did not want to be
a slave to modern conveniences, and I was a special one.
He wanted his own privatized Wi Fi network, so I
(28:20):
guess nobody could tap in on this, and he wants
to have an alternative source of energy. No doors, no windows,
no fixtures, just concrete. Well, there are no windows. How
could the seagulls fly in there's no windows.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, because I guess there's an open space. Maybe yeah,
it's just an open space. Then the radiation is going
to come in.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Uh yeah, maybe this wasn't so much about the nukes trying.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
To deconstruct the lunatics thinking, I know, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
So, by the way, I heard a report on Putin
today from I guess it was the Ukrainians that he
thinks that next year, all of the havoc in the
United States over the election will give him good cover
to once again threaten nuclear devastation of Ukraine unless they surrender.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I watched Zelenski get interviewed on sixty Minutes last night. Oh,
I think that's where it came that way, That was
in the story that that that Putin is banking on
chaos in the United States next year over the election,
absolute chaos because it's Trump against Biden and that well
just I don't know, there's a lot of weird movements
going on out there. I mean, I think I think
(29:27):
next year is a good year to bet on civil war.
I do next year, okay, yeah, before the election, before yeah,
run up to the election. Then if the election doesn't
go the correct way, then Oh my god, I don't
know what is the correct way to defense. Who's doing
the writing. If Trump wins here again, it gets right.
Could be the antifas versus that insurrection crowd.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
But if Biden wins, here comes the Maga people, the
capital takeover.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
When we come back, we're going to talk to State
Senator Shannon Grove at least one more time. The Republican
from Bakersfield finally got her away with her bill to
go after the sex traffickers of children. John and Ken
