00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:05.960
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

2
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:11.240
This time tomorrow, you'll be able
to listen in on the CNN presidential debate

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.039
starting at six o'clock, running right
on through until about seven thirty ish.

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:20.199
That's on CNN and then simulcast on
kf BON. So we're looking forward to

5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:26.519
hearing that. We'll have a debate
recap. All right, listen, I

6
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.839
I know a lot of people turning
because they want somebody to argue with the

7
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.000
candidates. That's not me. I'm
happy to tell you what happened, who

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.240
said, what, what the big
moments were. But if you're looking for

9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.600
somebody who's going to come on and
say Trump was dead wrong or Biden was

10
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.000
dead wrong, it's just not my
bag. I'll leave that to Mark.

11
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.600
By the way, Mark, Yes, had the story of La County talking

12
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.399
about alleviating medical debt for a bunch
of residents. Yeah, how about that?

13
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.880
Yeah, I got some problem I
do. And here's let me let

14
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.200
me give you the background on this. Broquin. So the supervisors unanimously voted

15
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.519
to buy up and forgive millions of
dollars in medical debt. Their plan is

16
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.239
to tackle a two point nine billion
dollar burden that weighs on almost eight hundred

17
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:18.640
thousand residents. Now they're not dropping
two point nine billion dollars, but they're

18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.319
going to try to take on a
chunk of that. Okay, So what

19
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:27.799
they've done now is they have voted
to allow themselves. It's not it's not

20
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.439
good. We don't know for sure
that it's going to happen, but we

21
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.799
do know that they now have given
themselves the authority, which is how bureaucracy

22
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.319
works. We have to have a
vote to see if we can vote la

23
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.319
blah black. Anyway that I want
to get into this program with a nonprofit.

24
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.319
It's called undue medical debt. East
be called rip medical debt, but

25
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:57.680
evidently that was more so. This
NGO takes some of what the patients owe

26
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:06.280
and buys the medical debt from the
debt. Is that the debtors what I

27
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.520
can't remember anyway, it buys the
debt for pennies on the dollar. It's

28
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.479
kind of like how collections agencies do
this. So once you've been sent to

29
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.479
collections, the in this case it
would be the medical provider has written that

30
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.520
all and so collections then tries to
get so much, you know, and

31
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:27.879
that's why oftentimes collections will call and
they'll say, well, you know,

32
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.400
we'll take ten cents of the dollar. We'll take five cents of the dollar.

33
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.199
Because what the collections companies do is, let's say you owe ten thousand

34
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.080
dollars. The collections company will say, we'll buy that debt from you,

35
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.039
doc or hospital or whatever. We'll
buy the ten thousand dollars debt from you

36
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.039
for five hundred dollars. And these
are oftentimes outstanding debts. They've been around

37
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.759
so long that the doctors just say, we'll take whatever we can get,

38
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.039
and so five hundred dollars is better
than zero dollars, so they sell it

39
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.439
to the colection ze. Similarly,
this undo medical debt is saying we'll give

40
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.400
you. You know, you got
ten thousand dollars in debt, we'll give

41
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.520
you five hundred dollars. We'll give
you three hundred dollars whatever. Right,

42
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.680
So they're buying this debt pennies on
the dollar. And then what's going to

43
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.680
happen is they're going to take the
death that they buy and hand the bill

44
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.400
to the county, and the county's
going to pay them, right, that's

45
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.960
the idea. That's how this is
supposed to work out. And the idea

46
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.759
is that it's going to help an
awful lot of people, people that are

47
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.759
in debt. They say that the
county's five million dollar public health investment will

48
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:31.120
help one hundred and fifty thousand residents
and eliminate five hundred million dollars in debt.

49
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.800
Right, so there's five hundred million
dollars in debt. They go,

50
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.800
we'll give you five million, and
the providers go, something's better than nothing,

51
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.800
will take it. Okay, sounds
great. I have a couple of

52
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:47.520
issues, and aside from the obvious
wise the taxpayers put the bill for your

53
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.039
medical expenses. I don't want to
get into that because that turns into the

54
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.159
political aspect of it, right and
I and I understand the argument the government

55
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.360
sponsored healthcare is beneficial to the community
at large, blah blah blah. However,

56
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.879
I would say this universal health care
is an all or nothing proposition.

57
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.639
You can't dip your toe into universal
health care. That doesn't solve any issue,

58
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:19.360
especially because you're not really negotiating anything, so there's no set price to

59
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:24.319
start with. This is all after
the fat let me give you a let

60
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.839
me let me tell you how this
could shake down. All right. When

61
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.279
I was in college, I got
a credit card. It was it was

62
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:38.040
one of those learning moments, all
right. My credit card had a max

63
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.839
of six hundred dollars okay, which
in today's dollars, based on inflation,

64
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.839
I think would be in the neighborhood
of eight hundred million dollars. So I

65
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.040
had a six hundred dollars a cap
on my credit card. I ran that

66
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.240
up to about five feet and then
I didn't have the money to make payment.

67
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.839
Payment was due on Sday, Tuesday. I got paid on Friday.

68
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.720
I mind up, thinking great,
I'll make a payment. Now. I

69
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.600
was only making a couple hundred bucks
a week because I was working on weekends,

70
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.279
and I wasn't making a whole number. So I didn't make payment on

71
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:13.920
Tuesday. So what happens on Wednesday? Boom? They had the late payment

72
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.800
Boom that gets happened. So the
late payment kee goes in and then all

73
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.519
of a sudden, the interest from
the previous month bang that hits. So

74
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.000
my five point fifty immediately jumps up
well over six hundred, and they go,

75
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.279
oh, you're over the credit limit. How I get hit again.

76
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.360
All right, So Friday, I
make a payment of like two hundred dollars,

77
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.600
which wipes out my checking account because
again I was only working on the

78
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.160
weekends. Again, listen, this
is just a lesson I learned when I

79
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.720
was eighteen. So this cycle continues, and it continues, and it continues,

80
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.480
and I'm not making the payments,
and all of a sudden, they

81
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:53.079
run this thing up to about eighteen
hundred dollars three times my maps because you're

82
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.120
over the limit. And then I
would make a payment and they would go

83
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.800
oooh, you made a payment,
and now you've got a new balance.

84
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.199
It's over the limit. There's another
late payment fee or another over the limit

85
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.720
feed. They're like, oh,
so good for you. Yeah, it

86
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:08.000
was. It was great. Now, listen, we have actually cleaned up

87
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.519
the credit card companies a little bit
because of this sort of thing. There

88
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.800
are new laws in place now that
weren't in place in the mid nineties because

89
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.680
of this sort of predatory behavior.
But the gist of it is this,

90
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:26.360
there was no incentive for them not
to run that up none. So same

91
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.920
thing when it comes to the medical
debt. This is my this is my

92
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:34.439
worry, all right. Suppose that
you are a I don't necessarily think there's

93
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.720
the doctor's doing, but let's just
mark you like this. Why don't I

94
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:44.199
demonize the big hospital or big medical? Can I just say big medical at

95
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.079
large? Does that exonerate some of
the individual practitioners? Whether is the insurance

96
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.040
companies, you might start with them. Well, the insurance companies are not

97
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.000
part of this because the insurance companies
have either they either the people don't have

98
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.279
insurance that the insurance companies aren't paying
this and this is part of their responsibility.

99
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.759
So this is yeah, I'm sorry, please proceed. Yeah. Yeah,

100
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.360
So the LA County supervisors say,
we want to buy up some of

101
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:11.240
the death that's crushing individuals. So
suppose that you are big medical, all

102
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:17.639
right, and you provide a procedure
for your you know, the patient,

103
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.279
and let's say that procedure is ten
thousand dollars. You're big medical. You

104
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.279
know that that patient is not going
to pay the bill, especially when it

105
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.439
comes to er right. And part
of what's happening here is that we've had

106
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:36.399
laws passed like the Affortable Care Act, and that was limiting people, or

107
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.480
you had HIPPA that said you have
to treat people if they come into the

108
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.680
emergency, right, some of these
laws are there. So what's happening is

109
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.480
big medicals figure out ways to manipulate
the system. Since the system change to

110
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.639
take away some of their advantages,
so they're trying to figure out what the

111
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.959
new advantage. So suppose you have
somebody come into the ear and that person

112
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.759
comes into the er and their appendix
is first, all right, so they

113
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.959
have to have an emergency app deck. You can't turn them away because it's

114
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:07.079
a life threatening issue, so you
have to perform emergency surgery. Now,

115
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.720
emergency surgery might cost ten thousand dollars, but you happen to have this feeling

116
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.519
that that person's not going to pay
their ten thousand dollars, either because the

117
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.040
person's in the system is someone that
hasn't paid in the past, or you're

118
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.079
a judgmental racist, church, whatever
it is. You just think they're not

119
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.639
gonna do it. So what do
you do. You run that bill up

120
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.959
to one hundred thousand dollars, knowing
that somebody is gonna step in and buy

121
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.200
it for pennies on the dollar.
You know that the government's gonna step in

122
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.720
eventually and pay it. So if
the patient has a bill of ten thousand

123
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.600
or one hundred thousand, and they're
not gonna be able to pay anything anyway,

124
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.240
why not pad that bill? Why
not? Because if you pad the

125
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.960
bill, what you're doing is you're
saying, I know that this is going

126
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.480
to go to collection and or it's
going to go to this debt relief agency.

127
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.679
And if it goes to the debt
relief agency, if we want to

128
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.240
get as much as possible. So
if they were going to give us one

129
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.200
hundred dollars or ten thousand, why
don't we try to get at least a

130
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.879
thousand dollars by simply multiplying everything by
ten. And I know it sounds shady,

131
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.080
is all get up, But it
took me all of about ten seconds

132
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.519
to figure out a way to screw
the system. And do you think that

133
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.120
the people who are putting these burdens
on individuals and aren't gonna be able to

134
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.720
pay it the first place, had
any qualms about screwing the system in their

135
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.039
mind? They go, listen,
we knew we weren't going to get ten

136
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.639
thousand dollars, so of course we
ran it up to one hundred grand.

137
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.240
We're still not going to get ten
thousand dollars. We're only going to get

138
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.679
a thousand out of it because we're
selling it for pennies on the dollar.

139
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.679
Right, So in their mind they're
going, you're not even paying the ten

140
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.440
thousand, You're still getting a deal. That's how they justified. So even

141
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.120
if the county is paying pennies on
the dollar, why not jack that dollar

142
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.399
amount up more and collect more pennies. And this is the reason that every

143
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.279
provider, this is behind the scenes. This is not the patient. The

144
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.679
patient goes into the emergency room and
goes, I'm in a whole I'm in

145
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.519
so much pain by pennies. First, I'm going to die. Right.

146
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.600
They don't care what the bill is. They just say, get this thing

147
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:05.399
out of me. But every provider
has a contract negotiation with every insurer.

148
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:11.519
And the reason not only insurer,
but uh with medical, with medicare,

149
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.960
there are contracts with every payer out
there. Every provider has contracts with every

150
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.919
payer. It's why they're part of
networks. The networks negotiate these contracts where

151
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.360
you might contract with an individual payer
or an individual yeah, it'd be an

152
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.440
individual payer, whether it's an insurer
or you know, an HMO, whatever

153
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.799
it is. Right, And the
reason is so there's no incentive to pump

154
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.559
the prices. You negotiate those terms
before somebody walks in with a burst apparents.

155
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.120
Right. So there's my concern if
we are if we're not going to

156
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.080
do universal healthcare and say look,
we're going to make sure that all prices

157
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.960
are fixed and this is how it's
going to work, and we're gonna pay

158
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.679
this off with everybody's tax dollars,
then dipping your toe in the water is

159
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.559
encouraging more malfeasons. That's my rain. Okay, I'm trying to follow along

160
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.879
with you. I'm sure that I
know it's complicated, and I apologize.

161
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.519
No, no, no, no, I'm sure the people who stand to

162
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:13.840
have this crushing predatory medical debt relieved
from them appreciate your principled stand. Listen,

163
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.480
I understand that the people who are
bound to benefit are going to say,

164
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.840
what jerk. But how many times
you drive by somebody with a sign

165
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.519
of the freeway that says anything helps, and you go, man, I

166
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.399
can't give them money because that just
encourages them to stand by the freeway.

167
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.200
They should go get help from someplace
where it provides it. I'm sure that

168
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.039
person thinks, thanks a lot,
jerk. So but the truth is,

169
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.039
if we want to fix the system, if we want to help people more

170
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.200
people in the long run, we
got to fix the system, not help

171
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.759
individuals what at a time. And
I know it sounds shallow, it sounds

172
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.159
free, but I'm trying to I'm
trying to provide a larger solution, not

173
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.440
a temporary things. What if you
could do both of all ears? Okay,

174
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.279
but I don't see Listen, this
is America. I don't see the

175
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.360
insurance companies going, Okay, you've
got it, we'll shut down. I

176
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.320
don't see it. And even if
we do move to some sort of a

177
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.200
universal system, but it's gonna have
to be through the insurance companies. I

178
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.000
mean, the Affordable Care Act was
the closest we get, and that was

179
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.639
they had to work with the insurance
companies to try to even get that far.

180
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.600
And the insurance companies, of course
figured out ways to screw people over

181
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.240
in the mid in the middle of
it all. Wow, I got to

182
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.840
go to break yes, Yeah,
all right, listen, there is one

183
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.879
great way if you are a criminal, there is one great way to make

184
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.039
sure you don't get caught. Chips
I'm getting away with the worst. Next

185
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.559
Chris Merril KFI AM six forty Live
Everywhere and your ieheart ready web you're listening

186
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.320
to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI. Chris Merrill in fromo Kelly.

187
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.720
Now that we have solved the medical
building problems in the United States,

188
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.240
and I'm glad we were able took
Thank you very much. I don't Mark

189
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.480
was very happy about it. Mark, by the way, is busy getting

190
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.120
a tongue lashing because we went way
late in that last break. So no

191
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.879
fo shooting there, he fears me. No, no, no. I

192
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.240
talked to him and said he's writing
you up. In fact, I believe

193
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.480
you just got the world's first push
demerit. No, no, no,

194
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.440
he's a total paper tager. Don't
listen to a word he says. He'll

195
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.480
get a time out tomorrow. Oh
time out? Yeah? How about how

196
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.120
about we just ban him from doing
any news between seven and seven thirty?

197
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.519
What do you think about that?
That? Oh yeah, I'm coming down

198
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.639
with something. I'm starting to feel
a little little lightheaded. Yeah, that's

199
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.159
good. You can hear the CNN
presidential debate tomorrow from six pm until about

200
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.200
seven thirty on CNN and then simulcast
on KFI and then we'll let mark a

201
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:37.320
big you on the news as soon
as that's over. But seven uh.

202
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:46.480
There is talk of restricting masks for
people who are protests were we're from mask

203
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:52.320
mandates to mask banishment violent protests Sunday
at a synagogue, prompting Mayor Karen bask

204
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:58.919
to say to Los Angeles should consider
rules governing demonstrations and the wearing of masks

205
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:07.080
by those testing. We've seen similar
tactics proposed in North Carolina and in New

206
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:13.639
York. What we're seeing is an
awful lot of people have masks that We

207
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.600
have lots of masks left over.
They're usually stuffed in the back of a

208
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.840
drawer somewhere because we think, well, maybe I'll wear these in the future

209
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.200
if somebody in my office gets sick
or if I get sick again. So

210
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.879
we all have a bunch of masks
laying around, and what happens is the

211
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.960
protesters went on and I just wear
masks. Now it's not always the masks,

212
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.320
the masks that we were wearing for
COVID. They're saying people are covering

213
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.600
their faces and what we don't want
are violent protesters covering their faces. We

214
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:48.200
need to ban masks. This is
gonna surprise me. I take issue.

215
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.200
It's not that I support anything the
protesters they're doing. As far as the

216
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.200
turning things, mind, I don't
want that at all. I do want

217
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.759
people to be able to protest.
But the idea that masks are the problem

218
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:07.799
is akin to you remember when Haraldo
used to blame crime on hoodies. There's

219
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:09.360
a big thing it was about I
don't know, ten fifteen years ago that

220
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.480
a lot of you know, street
crime was going on and people that were

221
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.919
committing crimes were wearing hoodies. And
you know why, this winter, and

222
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.840
even if it wasn't winter, it
was cool at night, so they were

223
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:26.000
wearing these hoodies. And Heraldo said
that the hoodies were to blame. Hoodies

224
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:33.039
were It was gang where hoodies were
masking people from being caught. The hoodies

225
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.600
were the problem. No, the
hoodies are not the problem. The crime

226
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:43.519
is the problem. The violence at
protests are not the problem. The crime

227
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.960
is the problem. And I think
sometimes we get wrapped up on the minutia

228
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:54.120
rather than focusing on the bigger picture. And these concerns about masks, what's

229
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.399
the problem one, they're hiding their
faces. Two, they're worried that,

230
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.480
well, what if we want to
what if we need to have our are

231
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:07.159
to your guests what they just wouldn't
work on. Nah, I'm not buying

232
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.799
it. And I'll tell you what
if I'm a protester. First of all,

233
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.440
don't do violent things. Don't do
that, right, That's the first

234
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.639
thing. But suppose that you are
a protester and other people in your group

235
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.679
turn violent, but you're wearing a
mask, and let's say that that mask

236
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.480
is a mask that is the flag
of the place where you're protest. In

237
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.759
this case, you wouldeel like Palestinians
or people supporting Palestinians pro Palestinians wearing the

238
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:36.480
Palestinian flag mask. And let's suppose
you get arrested, even though there's no

239
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.440
evidence you've done anything wrong other than
being there at the protest, and somebody

240
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.759
else in the protest did something wrong. Now they're going to try to say,

241
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.679
well, you're part of the gang. My complaint would be wait a

242
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.240
minute, I was just there protesting, exercising my First Amendment right to free

243
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.720
speech and assembly, and then the
flag is a symbol of my speech.

244
00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:00.879
I could see this turning ugly and
becoming very expensive from illegal standpoint, as

245
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:06.640
somebody is going to have standing and
be the perfect defend or. I guess

246
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.480
it'd be plaintive in a lawsuit against
the city state whoever puts in these no

247
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.039
masked rules. It's a political distraction. It doesn't have a whole lot of

248
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:23.920
foundation. Here in wall. Speaking
of distractions, many times you will hear

249
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:30.640
people say that if only we changed
this one thing about our elected officials,

250
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.000
all of our problems would be solved. I'll tell you what that one thing

251
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:40.559
is and why there is no one
size fits all. That is next.

252
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.359
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

253
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.759
A pleasure being with you, and
thank you for giving me the opportunity to

254
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:55.799
hang out with you tonight. Remember
there's the CNN presidential debate coming up tomorrow

255
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:03.720
night starting at six on CNN and
simulcast on kaf One large majority of California

256
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.880
voters actually support something that I disagree
with, and again I know I'm in

257
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:14.680
the minority. I understand why you
support this, I understand why you think

258
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.279
it's a good idea, But let
me make a case for why you should

259
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:23.240
rethink then Okay. Most California voters
support term limits for elected offices, including

260
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.720
county supervisors, disparate attorneys, and
sheriffs. That according to a new poll

261
00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.480
that dropped yesterday. Some experts say
that could signal a desire for new leadership

262
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:38.640
in the November elections. Undoubtedly it's
a signal for new leadership in the November

263
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:44.200
election. I think that goes without
saying. The Only Times got the article

264
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.519
talking about how many of the California
How many was California voters want term limits

265
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.799
for everybody? DA's sheriffs all this
time? It was a poll that Berkeley

266
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.119
did. It was the Institute of
Governmental Studies, And what it shows is

267
00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:04.000
that three quarters of you want term
limits enacted or shortened for many county supervisors.

268
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.160
There are problems with term limits,
and I think oftentimes what ends up

269
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:15.000
happening is people see term limits as
a solution for bad leadership. I get

270
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.880
it. I get it. You
see somebody in office and you go,

271
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.400
that person is terrible. We've got
to get them out. You see somebody

272
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.640
in office and then they get re
elected and you go, how does this

273
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.599
keep happening? How do we have
this problem? I've never been a big

274
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:37.319
fan of term limits, and especially
for elected officials as long as there's elections.

275
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.240
Now, lifelong appointments a little bit
different story. I want. I

276
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.720
always like the idea of retaining judges
or justices or whatever else it is,

277
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.160
but I really have deep, deep
concerns when it comes to term limits,

278
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:57.759
because what happens is we end up
with a long history of court leadership,

279
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.960
right, and then once you have
enough bad leaders in a row, people

280
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.480
start saying, how do we get
rid of bad leaders? How do I

281
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.279
get people? I'm so, the
DA's office has been a mess for too

282
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.400
long? How do I get that
DA out there? The sheriff has been

283
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.680
a mess for two How do I
get that sheriff out of there? Get

284
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:26.960
it? And the options through the
election process are so poor that we're left

285
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.400
saying, what if we just put
in term limits so that we can keep

286
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:36.359
the damage to a minimum. Okay, if that way, if we have

287
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.559
somebody who's bad at their job but
they keep getting re elected, at least

288
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:45.279
we can stop them from getting re
elected too many times. But what does

289
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:51.400
that get you? It gets you
onto the next poor leader faster. So

290
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.960
let me give you an example on
a larger scale. Suppose that you are

291
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:03.519
a Republican living in California. Right, for many of you, you've fit

292
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.680
the bill. If you're in Orange
County, chances are you prevadent. So

293
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.319
what'd you think of Jerry Brown?
Oh, Jerry Brown was the worst governor

294
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:18.079
until Newsome. There's always a recency
bias too. Have you noticed that Trump

295
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.000
was the worst president ever since George
W. Bush? And George W.

296
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.480
Bush was terrible. Since they would
skip over his dad, they go right

297
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:33.359
to Rake and the progressive was just
hated Rake. For conservatives, they say,

298
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.240
who is the worst president? Oh, my gosh, Joe Biden is

299
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.559
the worst president ever. Remember when
Obaba was in office. Obaba was the

300
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:47.319
worst president ever. Clayton was the
worst president ever. Okay, does that

301
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.839
mean that it's getting progressively worse?
Maybe your view point is, yeah,

302
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.880
it's getting progressively worse. You don't
like the person who's being nominated and then

303
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.279
elected from the other side. I
get so Jerry Brown, Oh, it

304
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:02.039
was a terrible governor, was terrible
governor. Okay, term limits so then

305
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:06.839
what then you have an election and
then you get Newsome. If you are

306
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.640
a Republican in California, the term
limits didn't do anything for you. It

307
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.480
just moved down to the next person
you didn't like. So when we say

308
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.119
all we gotta get term limits that
we can get the bad leaders out of

309
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.319
there faster, what does it do
springs up the next leader you're not gonna

310
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.640
like. And our system at California
is better because of the jungle primary when

311
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.440
it comes to the state wide racis
and things like that, So that that's

312
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.960
better. But this idea of term
limits and shortening term limits for even some

313
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.359
of these local offices, what does
it really get you? What it gets

314
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:42.680
you is fwer options. Let me
contend that maybe you don't like Newsom,

315
00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.079
maybe you signed the petition to recall
Newsome. Not only did Newsom win an

316
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:55.799
election, he then beat the recall
and then won another election. So the

317
00:22:55.880 --> 00:23:02.200
people at large in our democracy wanted
news You didn't want Newsome, but the

318
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.039
people wanted Newsome. In the same
way, you have leaders that you might

319
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.880
not like that keep getting re elected, and what does that do for you.

320
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.519
I don't like them, they keep
getting reelected, Okay, but that's

321
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.200
how our system works. More people
like them than didn't like them, or

322
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.880
more people liked this person staying in
office than the candidate that made it up

323
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:29.920
through the primary system to challenge them, you woant have a better challenger fix

324
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.400
the people who are coming out of
the primaries. But because we have our

325
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.599
two party system and everything else,
the people coming out of the primaries tend

326
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.079
to be farther to the right or
farther than the left and the old days,

327
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:45.119
the old Nixonian strategy wise, if
somebody is you go, you attacked

328
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.039
far right or far left in the
primaries, and then if you win your

329
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:49.680
primary, then you come back to
senator to try to win people over in

330
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:55.079
the middle. What they're doing now, and you're seeing this playout national politics.

331
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.359
What they're doing now is they're realizing
that you can't really change the minds

332
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:04.359
of independent voters. Even undecided voters
tend to already have a leaning one way

333
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:08.200
or the other. So what happened
to They say, you know what,

334
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:15.240
instead of tacking closer to center,
I'm going to go all the way to

335
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.519
bat Spit crazy right or batspit crazy
left. This is how we end up

336
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:23.480
with the squad and you end up
with the Marjorie Taylor Green right. Because

337
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:27.440
what they're doing is they're trying to
energize the base. Well political scientists have

338
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:32.359
come to realize in the last few
decades is that it's more important to get

339
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.480
your base to go to the polls
than it is to try to get a

340
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:41.279
hesitant voter to vote for you.
If you can get more people who are

341
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:47.480
already committed to you to the polls, that is far more advantageous than trying

342
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:51.920
to get people who are hesitant to
pull the lever for you. So,

343
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:59.640
if you want to get bad leaders
out, you've got to present good leaders.

344
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.920
But our system doesn't really really allow
for that. And this argument about

345
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.400
not wanting lifelong politicians, it kind
of falls apart when you start talking about

346
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:14.799
things like the sheriff, because the
sheriff is not a lifelong politician. Sheriffs

347
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.799
by nature, by lifelong cops who
rose to the position of politician. It's

348
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.720
almost like punishment for being good at
your job. Ironically, being a good

349
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:27.559
cop does not mean that you are
a good politician. And then we're left

350
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.119
saying that the politician isn't good at
politics. We go, oh, my

351
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.160
goodness, this politician isn't good at
politics. Yeah, because they're not.

352
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:41.000
Because they're cops. They're not politicians. They're not political science people. They're

353
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:45.680
smart people, they have ambition,
but they're cops steep down and so you're

354
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.839
asking a cop to be a politician. We wouldn't ask the politician to go

355
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.359
be a cop. We're asking a
cop to be a politician. So when

356
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.680
you say, well, we don't
want lifelong politicians, you're not hiring lifelong

357
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.559
politicians in many of these jobs.
When it comes to sheriff, you're not.

358
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.119
You're hiring lifelong cop. But they
might not be a great politician.

359
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.079
You know that works. So the
turn limit thing, all it does is

360
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.480
remove your options from the ballot.
Let's suppose it's somebody you like. Okay,

361
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:14.359
well they just maxed out. Now
you don't get to vote for the

362
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.480
many but they were great, Okay, well you voted internal limits. Now

363
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.960
you don't get to vote for that
person. It's one fewer option on the

364
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.480
ballot that you might even like.
PU Chris marril I AM six forty were

365
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:32.200

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on

366
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:37.160
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Chris Merrill came from O Kelly tonight.

367
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.400
Also, by the way, Twala
has been amazing, says me, the

368
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:47.559
links to the podcast, which is
wonderfully appreciating that. And I do a

369
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.839
show on Sundays as well, and
my producer from Sunday Set make sure that

370
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:53.440
I remind people that you can find
the Sunday show in the featured segments.

371
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:59.920
So take that. It's wala,
I'm featured. What do you think about

372
00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:07.279
that feature artist right here? He's
done with silence. Yeah, I get

373
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:12.200
it. You can hear the CNN
Presidential Debate on Thursday. That is tomorrow.

374
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.400
I believe today is Wednesday, right
yesterday, I was thinking it was

375
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.039
Wednesday. This is my second Wednesday
of the week, so that's great.

376
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:25.119
The CNN Presidential Debate is tomorrow,
starting at six on CNN simulcast on KFI,

377
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:29.359
and then we will pop in immediately
after it is complete. We'll give

378
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.920
you an update on local news,
and then we'll do a recap of what

379
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.039
might down and we'll play back some
of the clips in case you can get

380
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:40.480
a chance to hear the whole thing. And I'm gonna guess probably some of

381
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:45.359
the highlights and or low lights that'll
be part of the program. There is

382
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:52.599
a new bill that's been introduced to
the State Senate. The idea is to

383
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.759
ban drones. And I know at
first you go get banning drones, Yeah,

384
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:02.039
but it's the drones that would be
used by most of the county Sheriff's

385
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:11.960
department and other police agents. They
want to ban the drone outlawing it's the

386
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.240
bill would outlaw any blacklisted military equipment. Drones would be included. And a

387
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:22.240
statement announcing the bill State Senator Tom
Umberg Democrats Santa Anna, highlighting racent concerns

388
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.039
around dj I. That is Chinese
grone manufacturer is probably the biggest one in

389
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.160
the world too. Those domestic drums, you know, the what do they

390
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.319
call those? The rotary god,
what are they called. I want to

391
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.160
make sure I get this right,
uh push, you know what I'm talking

392
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.880
about is the rotary blade drones or
whatever. Anyways, the ones the helicopter,

393
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:45.319
the smaller ones are yeah, the
smaller one and they like the four

394
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.480
roads that are on Oh yeah,
yeah, I don't know. I've never

395
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.039
actually known their names, but I've
seen a thousand of them. Yeah.

396
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:56.440
Yeah, they're the rotor drones anyway, as opposed to like the military ones

397
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:03.960
that are jet makes a ton of
these things and anyway, they've been blacklisted

398
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:11.519
now by the Defense Department out of
concerns that Dji's hardware is spying for the

399
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:18.279
Chinese military. Department of Defense position
is that systems produced by Dji posed potential

400
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.119
threats to national security. According to
officials and the DoD, mitigating the threats

401
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:29.079
posed by small unmanned aircraft systems,
including DJI systems, remains a priority across

402
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:34.039
the department. So what we're doing
is we're giving Oh I know, listen,

403
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:37.799
listen, you guys that are all
about law and order. Thought,

404
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.759
we got to stop TikTok. Oh, the Chi coms are watching our dance

405
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.279
videos. We've got to stop TikTok. They are threat to America. Oh

406
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.759
okay, well, why don't we
stop all these firms that are owned by

407
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:56.839
Chinese companies, like your favorite drone. I I but I have a drone

408
00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:00.599
business. I take pictures of houses
or Hey, the cop use those.

409
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.839
But the cops need every tool they
can get. Oh no, not this

410
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.799
tool. You see, the Chinese
Communist Party might be taking a look at

411
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.559
whatever that drone footage is. They
could be snapping pictures of your pool and

412
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:17.240
sending it back to Beijing. So
that Beijing knows exactly how many lawn chairs

413
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.680
you have around your pool. So
you got that. There's a bill in

414
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.720
the House of Representatives that would end
the use of Dji drones domestically, kind

415
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.279
of like they want to do with
Takak and also Kasperski, which is the

416
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:37.440
anti virus software owned by Russians.
We have now told Kasperski, okay,

417
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:38.960
you can't, you can't operate.
So if you have Kasperski, which I

418
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.400
have on a couple of computers,
you're going to find a new antivirus hup.

419
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:47.119
Dji. By the way, just
like Tatak has denied that any of

420
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:51.000
its drones transmit data to the Chinese
communist parties, saying that the latest efforts

421
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.680
to ban their use in the United
States just an effort to suppress foreign investment

422
00:30:55.200 --> 00:31:02.759
and benefit domestic drone companies. So
Voice of oc I did some research on

423
00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:04.640
those, Thank you guys, I
appreciate nice job. Good work. Find

424
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:11.240
out that almost every police department in
the county owns at least one of these

425
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.079
Dji drones, with the kind of
sheriffs preparing to purchase more of these over

426
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:22.359
the next year. It's because Dji
they're kind of the standard right now,

427
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.160
they make the good ones, and
so now we're caught between do we support

428
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.599
local law and order or do we
want to buy into the national security risk

429
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.480
that's going into it? And why
in the world wo any of the sheriff's

430
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:38.599
departments want to have any of these
things if there's even the smallest chance that

431
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:45.400
you could be transmitting back to the
Chinese Communist Party. Sometimes when you make

432
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:49.400
a commotion, you start making these
bold statements and start saying everything is bad.

433
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:55.559
Then all of a sudden, you
start banning your own stuff, and

434
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:59.880
then it becomes a problem. Man. Have you ever flown one? Chris?

435
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:02.079
Okay, so my wife got this
great question. My wife got me

436
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:07.039
a drone a few years ago.
It is not a dji, It is

437
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.559
a knock on and it is really
Listen, you gotta be skilled. This

438
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:16.400
is what I got is supposed to
be great for beginners and straight. Oh

439
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:21.599
yeah, yeah, are you push? You fly these things? So I've

440
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.359
never flown one, but I worked
with a director who had to use one

441
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:30.400
for it, and I saw him
maneuver the the the promote and I'm like,

442
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:34.880
dude, how the hell do you
keep that thing straight? Because it's

443
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.319
like it was so smooth. But
you should see. It's like when you

444
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:43.160
play Xbox or PlayStation. It's like
he was just maneuvering it so smooth with

445
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.000
his fingers and it just flew like
you would think he would just push one

446
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:50.960
button. You know. It's it's
crazy. Now, was he watching a

447
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:52.960
video on a screen in front of
him so he's getting the view from the

448
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.880
drone or was he watching the drone
in the snow? He was because we

449
00:32:55.880 --> 00:33:00.519
were like in open air, so
he just looked at the drone. But

450
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.720
okay, I get confused. Yeah, oh that's true though. But either

451
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:08.240
way, I'm like, how the
heck? I don't know, Yeah,

452
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:14.039
like make it. Oh my gosh, it's so hard. And what I

453
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:15.039
found was that I would get the
drone up in the air, and even

454
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.599
the slightest breeze, the drone would
turn a little bit, and then I

455
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:22.200
pressed forward. But the drone has
turned so forward is no longer forward.

456
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:23.599
Forward, will go this way or
that way, and I didn't know which

457
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:27.680
way I was. I didn't know
which way was straight anymore, and I

458
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:29.880
couldn't keep up with it. So
then I would try to look at the

459
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:34.279
camera because the camera's always going to
put it forward, and then my field

460
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.480
of view wasn't big enough, and
I certainly wasn't used to her anyway,

461
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:40.599
I got it stuck on the top
of a tree and it was about eighty

462
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.359
feet in the air, and I
got stuck up there, and I thought

463
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.119
I'm screwed, and I kept trying
to like gass it like I don't know

464
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:50.519
if you've ever stuck a car in
the mud and you kind of try to

465
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:52.839
rock it forward and back. I
was sort of trying to do that.

466
00:33:52.039 --> 00:34:00.359
So I'm in this field and you
just start hearing boom zoomzo. All of

467
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:07.599
a sudden, one of the rotors
broke off because they hit a branch and

468
00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:12.000
the rot comes down. The drone
is still stuck in the tree. Uh,

469
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.199
and then I had to wait for
it. Fortunately, after a day

470
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.440
and a little bit stronger breeze,
it blew itself out of the tree and

471
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.519
I picked it up off the ground. I put it back in the case

472
00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:23.039
and I had not us So that's
my that's the extended by drone operation.

473
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:28.199
So for you drone operators, I'm
so impressed by your skill because it is

474
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:31.000
legitimately impressive. It totally is well. You kind of buried the lead though,

475
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:34.639
Chris, what did you need a
drone for? Have you taken up

476
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.920
Peep and Tommery? Yes, spying
on the neighbors. Okay, yeah,

477
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:42.280
yeah, thanks for clarification. Thank
you. This field, by the way,

478
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:44.360
this is at my parents' house,
nor the mission. This field,

479
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:50.480
the local police were doing flyovers and
they actually their neighbor who was right on

480
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:52.599
the other side of this tree.
He got buffed a few years back before

481
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:58.199
they legalized weed. He had a
giant grow back there. So listen,

482
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:00.440
I gotta get that drone up to
see who else has got the good stuff

483
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:02.840
before they get busted. You gotta
look out for those things. Well,

484
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.039
that makes sense right right Listen,
This is how I let's say you get
