Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I will talk about California right off the bat, where
- 0:03Speaker 1: you know, they're big on the COVID out there, They're
- 0:04Speaker 1: big on the inoculations, vaccinations, jabs out there in California,
- 0:10Speaker 1: but they didn't want to do anything during COVID. They
- 0:13Speaker 1: wanted everybody masked up in California. Well, Senate Bill to
- 0:16Speaker 1: OR six twenty seven has passed in California. Now. It's
- 0:20Speaker 1: a measure targeting immigration and customs enforcement past the final
- 0:26Speaker 1: Senate vote today. Introduced by State Senator Scott Wiener. I
- 0:30Speaker 1: don't care if it's pronounced Winer, He's a Wiener. The
- 0:34Speaker 1: bill prohibits law enforcement from wearing masks squall on duty. Basically,
- 0:40Speaker 1: what they want to do is, you know, use AI
- 0:42Speaker 1: phasial recognition all that kind of crap, so that they
- 0:44Speaker 1: are trying to intimidate immigrations and enforcement officers when they
- 0:49Speaker 1: come in, going yeah, we need to know who you
- 0:50Speaker 1: are so we can come to your house, harass your family,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and stand out in your front yard. Try that with
- 0:55Speaker 1: Andy Ginther, baby, you won't get by with standing on
- 0:57Speaker 1: his front yard. That This is exactly why they did.
- 1:00Speaker 2: This, is that that doesn't go to police or anything.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Just the immigration.
- 1:05Speaker 1: All law enforcement, Oh wow, all law enforcement in the
- 1:08Speaker 1: state of California will be prohibited from wearing masks while
- 1:11Speaker 1: on duty. Off duty, they can dress as Batman if
- 1:15Speaker 1: they want, but on duty they can't wear masks. And uh.
- 1:21Speaker 1: It's raised concerns about officer safety and the public trust. Republicans,
- 1:23Speaker 1: of course, arguing the law cannot be enforced against federal officers.
- 1:27Speaker 1: California assembly Member Liz Ortega stated that we should not
- 1:31Speaker 1: have to live in a country where the government can
- 1:33Speaker 1: seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks English, and appears to
- 1:39Speaker 1: or speak Spanish, it appears to work a low wage job.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Let me ask you something, Senora Ortega. I have a
- 1:46Speaker 1: question for Senora Ortega. Is this what you think of
- 1:49Speaker 1: your fellow Latinos? Is this what they they look Latino
- 1:54Speaker 1: or speak Spanish and they work a low wage job.
- 1:57Speaker 2: That's a clival Like if we get right of all
- 1:59Speaker 2: the immigrant, who's gon clean your toilet?
- 2:00Speaker 1: Exactly exactly how all of these white Democrats go, who's
- 2:05Speaker 1: gonna pick your fruit? Who's going to clean your hotel room?
- 2:08Speaker 1: If we get rid of all the illegal Wow.
- 2:12Speaker 2: It's the bigotry of low expectations.
- 2:14Speaker 1: On that one you talk about racism, that's racism. That
- 2:18Speaker 1: is racism when you expect so little of someone based
- 2:22Speaker 1: on their ethnicity that you ascribed into this life of
- 2:26Speaker 1: either being a migrant farm worker or working in housekeeping
- 2:29Speaker 1: at a cheap motel somewhere on Route sixty six or something.
- 2:34Speaker 1: You don't think they have any better, do any better,
- 2:37Speaker 1: want any better, strive for any better than that? Is
- 2:39Speaker 1: that how you identify your fellow Latinos in California. How
- 2:44Speaker 1: ridiculously said, How ridiculously said, and how sad that you
- 2:50Speaker 1: know the state of California once again chooses illegal immigrants
- 2:55Speaker 1: over our own country, over our own law enforcement efforts.
- 2:59Speaker 1: There was a yes, Virginia, there was a time when
- 3:02Speaker 1: people wanted to go to California. People they told Jed,
- 3:07Speaker 1: Beverly Hills is the place you want to be. He
- 3:09Speaker 1: loaded up this truck, he moved out to Beverly and
- 3:13Speaker 1: it was about going out. People wanted to be in California.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Songs with God don't make little greenapples. It don't rain
- 3:22Speaker 1: in Indianapolis that came out, and then would you get
- 3:26Speaker 1: it never rains in southern California Because California wasn't letting
- 3:31Speaker 1: Indianapolis have a rain zone that was how awesome California was,
- 3:35Speaker 1: It's where everybody wanted to go. I would not go
- 3:39Speaker 1: there on a bet. Now. I have no interest, no desire,
- 3:46Speaker 1: I don't care how nice the climate is. I just
- 3:50Speaker 1: couldn't do that. I've said the same thing about the
- 3:52Speaker 1: state of Hawaii. It is so overwhelmingly left in its
- 3:57Speaker 1: politics that I would just be uncomfortable. No matter how
- 4:00Speaker 1: beautiful the beaches are, how warm the breeze is. I
- 4:04Speaker 1: could not live in Hawaii unless I was like on
- 4:07Speaker 1: an unpopulated island. I couldn't live in you know, Kawhi
- 4:13Speaker 1: or Maui or Honolulu or anything like that. Just I'd
- 4:16Speaker 1: be ridiculously uncomfortable. Seattle beautiful. Couldn't live there, ha ha.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I would that with the whole state of Washington, I
- 4:27Speaker 1: don't know about, but Seattle specifically, Nope, couldn't do it.
- 4:31Speaker 1: All of these beautiful places that are part of our
- 4:33Speaker 1: country where I would feel just completely completely unhappy, out
- 4:40Speaker 1: of place, unwanted. And New York City looks like it's
- 4:43Speaker 1: about to become one of those two the big Apple core.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Well it's not the core yet, but it will be soon.
- 4:51Speaker 1: It's just it's sad that so much of what used
- 4:55Speaker 1: to be just really attractive to us, I don't think
- 5:00Speaker 1: is anymore when it comes to places you would want
- 5:03Speaker 1: to live. Here, Texas used to be someplace I thought
- 5:09Speaker 1: I might want to live, But I don't know. They
- 5:10Speaker 1: got to get some stuff straightened out down there now.
- 5:14Speaker 1: No interest in Arizona. Dry heat or otherwise. One hundred
- 5:17Speaker 1: degrees is one hundred degrees. I know, people go, it's
- 5:21Speaker 1: just dry heat.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I'm like, have you been there? It makes me sweat more.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Dry heat is like, you know, okay, so the chicken
- 5:29Speaker 1: skin gets really crispy in the oven, same thing, wouldn't
- 5:33Speaker 1: do it. Florida is just getting overpopulated at this point,
- 5:35Speaker 1: too many people rushing down there to to live in
- 5:38Speaker 1: warm weather and what they consider to be a freer
- 5:41Speaker 1: societal situation. So I couldn't. I couldn't do that either.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I don't know where I'd go if I wasn't here.
- 5:49Speaker 1: And of course we all know how wonderfully, wonderfully content
- 5:52Speaker 1: I am with Columbus weather right now. See Mark and
- 5:57Speaker 1: I we're talking about the show about the eighty seven
- 6:01Speaker 1: or eighty eight, whatever's supposed to be. Have you and
- 6:05Speaker 1: my worry, my concern is that we're going to go
- 6:08Speaker 1: from eighty eight for a high to fifty eight for
- 6:12Speaker 1: the high in a heartbeat. Yeh, we're not going to
- 6:14Speaker 1: experience any of that, you know, cool weather, slow down,
- 6:21Speaker 1: change of leaves, any of that kind of stuff. I
- 6:24Speaker 1: don't think it's going to happen. I think we're going
- 6:25Speaker 1: to go straight. We're done, and it'll be cold outside,
- 6:30Speaker 1: which I have always disliked. I believe it was it
- 6:34Speaker 1: five years ago, four years ago when we had a
- 6:36Speaker 1: beautiful autumn that lasted, you know, two months of glorious
- 6:39Speaker 1: color and cool temperatures and so forth, and that was perfect.
- 6:44Speaker 1: But we rarely get those anymore. I noticed the headline
- 6:48Speaker 1: that changed a USA today changed the headline. It's been
- 6:51Speaker 1: running for like three days now, but it's been saying,
- 6:54Speaker 1: Sopranos actor accused of shooting woman in face during New
- 6:57Speaker 1: Jersey road rage dispute. Did you see that? What?
- 7:01Speaker 2: Well, it's not Tony No, so what Sopranos actor that?
- 7:07Speaker 1: See? That's just it. He's nobody. He was a bit player.
- 7:11Speaker 1: He might have been like a guy walking down the
- 7:13Speaker 1: street in front of the restaurant or something that. You know,
- 7:16Speaker 1: maybe he was at the bottom being having a drink
- 7:19Speaker 1: at the bar when a scene was going on. He
- 7:21Speaker 1: was a no name, He's nobody, but they to get
- 7:26Speaker 1: you to click. It was said Sopranos actor had been charged. No,
- 7:30Speaker 1: not really, not the case. Just oh, once again disappointed
- 7:37Speaker 1: in the media thing over all, my beloved west Side.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Apparently a couple of arrest had been made in that shooting.
- 7:41Speaker 1: The fourteen year old boy, he was shot in the
- 7:43Speaker 1: arm right over at Briggs Road. If you're familiar with
- 7:47Speaker 1: the West Side, there's Lindbergh Elementary, Lindburgh Park and then
- 7:52Speaker 1: Briggs Road and then across on the other side of
- 7:54Speaker 1: Briggs Road is Briggs High School and then right down
- 7:56Speaker 1: Briggs Road is Ben's Elementary School. So that's kind of
- 7:59Speaker 1: a trying of schools there. They were all locked down
- 8:02Speaker 1: a couple of days ago because of this shooting. A
- 8:04Speaker 1: large group of people were seen, estimates around about thirty people,
- 8:09Speaker 1: a group of teenagers wearing hoodies running from the park.
- 8:14Speaker 1: According to one witness that I saw a WSYX six
- 8:16Speaker 1: news and one person has been arrested. I'm sorry. Two
- 8:20Speaker 1: people have been arrested, one of which identified as a
- 8:22Speaker 1: fifteen year old high school freshmen who's been taken into custody.
- 8:27Speaker 1: It says a second person also is in police custody.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I am suspicious if we can identify the first person
- 8:38Speaker 1: as a fifteen year old high school freshman, which kind
- 8:41Speaker 1: of narrows it down. Why is it a second person? Now?
- 8:49Speaker 1: I've been hearing just neighborhoods, scuttle but grape vine stuff.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I've been hearing that perhaps a parent was involved, and
- 9:00Speaker 1: this actually makes me wonder if that's not true. No evidence,
- 9:07Speaker 1: no proof, I just you know, people talking, and the
- 9:11Speaker 1: fact that a fifteen year old high school freshman and
- 9:13Speaker 1: a second person had been taken into custody makes me
- 9:18Speaker 1: wonder if perhaps that is not that's not an actual story.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Witnesses on the WSYX six site said dozens of teens
- 9:26Speaker 1: have gathered in the park shortly after the school and
- 9:27Speaker 1: I love that little park by the way. I have
- 9:29Speaker 1: been known to stop there and do paperwork because there's
- 9:32Speaker 1: nothing really there. It's a big field. I think there
- 9:37Speaker 1: may be a couple of pieces of playground equipment, maybe
- 9:39Speaker 1: a swing or something, but for the most part. Little
- 9:43Speaker 1: league football teams practice there, and the parking lot that
- 9:47Speaker 1: you enter off of Briggs Road is entirely covered by trees,
- 9:52Speaker 1: so even on the hottest summer day, it's shaded there,
- 9:57Speaker 1: and I've been known to pull in there with a
- 9:58Speaker 1: laptop and a a cold drink and do paperwork. I
- 10:02Speaker 1: got a client that wants me to write an offers.
- 10:04Speaker 1: It's great. I don't have to go to the office,
- 10:06Speaker 1: I don't have to go home. I can sit there
- 10:08Speaker 1: at a relatively quiet park in the shade and do it.
- 10:12Speaker 1: So I hate this kind of thing happening around there
- 10:17Speaker 1: is a it's a you know, it's not an extravagant
- 10:20Speaker 1: park at all, but it's a quiet, little community park
- 10:24Speaker 1: where I've never known there to be problems. And at night,
- 10:28Speaker 1: I'm really surprised by that because it's also not lit.
- 10:32Speaker 1: So you've got this big tree canopy over the parking
- 10:34Speaker 1: lot and no lights. It is dark, dark back there,
- 10:39Speaker 1: I mean really dark. But I've never heard of incidents, accidents,
- 10:44Speaker 1: or allegations coming out of there. So a sad thing.
- 10:48Speaker 1: But a fifteen year old high school freshman and a
- 10:51Speaker 1: second person are apparently in custody. We'll keep an eye
- 10:56Speaker 1: on this. I want to know what's going on.
