1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Right into the water, I'm out of the lifeguard chair.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: Bam into the ocean. We've got people to save today,

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: Mark Thompson filling in for Tim Conway Junior the ramp

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: up to Christmas, and I'm sorry to report that all

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: the last minute chores you have to do, places you

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: have to go, things you have to attend to, people

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: you need to see, all going to be informed by

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: a serious storm. And so the things you have to

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: do may increasingly have to do with preparing your residence

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: for what will be a biblical type storm. Don't take

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 2: my word for it, take the word of someone with

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: even more credibility than myself.

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: And that's saying a lot.

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: From KFI News, Michael Monks joined us.

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: It's not just biblical, Mark, this is extinction level event.

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 4: Christmas canceled in southern California. Man, it is a massive storm.

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: As we just heard in our four o'clock newscast from

20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: Mark Ronner. It's a big storm and the way local

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: officials are talking about it, it's very serious. Obviously, that

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: was a little dramatic, but it does sound You almost.

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: Can't beat too over the top though, because this is

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: pretty bad.

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 4: The weird thing about it is it hasn't happened yet.

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 4: We've just been talking about it, and so there's this anticipation.

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 5: Now.

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: Look when you look outside our windows here in the

29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 4: studio and burbk it has been cloudy and glooming like

30
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 4: this all day.

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 6: It has spit on us a little bit.

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 4: We've gotten a little bit of drizzle, and so you're

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 4: outside in the elements and you think.

34
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, the vibes are a little weird.

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 4: It looks kind of sad for Christmas time. But then

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 4: this forecast is playing in the background, and you think,

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: what is coming? Is it really happening? These folks say, yes,

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 4: it is, and you'd better be ready for it. And

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: by the way, you better be ready for it everywhere

40
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: in southern California. This is not one of those situations

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: where it's just the burn scars. Those are most vulnerable,

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: according to some of these meteorological reports, of course, to

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 4: mud slides and de brief flows and those sorts of things.

44
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: You can live in downtown Los Angeles and you can

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: live in the mountains. You're gonna get hit by this thing.

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: So the heavy rain starts overnight tonight is my understanding,

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: and then it continues, and this is the problem. You

48
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: have sustained rains that continue into the next few days.

49
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: This storm is going to be tricky for us because,

50
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: like I said just now, if you were to walk

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: outside here in the valley, you'd see that it's not

52
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: a great looking day. You might experience this exact condition

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: on the other side of this initial downpour. But we're

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 4: told don't get complacent. In fact, National Weather Service meteorologist

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: Ariel Cohen joined La Mayor Bass for our news conference

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: today and he really laid it all out for us,

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 4: and here is part of what he said.

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 6: If Foush has that ready, being.

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 7: Out on the roads will be exceptionally dangerous. Additionally, flooding

60
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 7: of smaller creeks and streams tributaries will be likely, and

61
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 7: mainsteam river flooding will also be possible. And I want

62
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 7: to specify that the flooding, rockslide and mud slide dangers

63
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 7: will grow at a gradual pace after the onset of

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 7: the heavier rain tonight into tomorrow morning. Because this is

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 7: a long duration event, it will take less and less

66
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 7: rainfall to produce more and more impacts from flooding, rock slides,

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 7: and mudslides as the week progresses as the ground saturates

68
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 7: during that time frame, So please don't assume that the

69
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 7: danger is over just because we made it through the

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 7: first round of heavier rain. Conditions will likely be deteriorating

71
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 7: as we head through late week. This is a rare

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 7: designation of high risk that's used to categorize the expected

73
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 7: rainfall and flooding impacts with this major storm system. A

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 7: high risk designation is rarely designated anywhere across the country

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 7: and indicates high confidence that an exceptionally dangerous flood event

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,559
Speaker 7: is anticipated.

77
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: Most flood related.

78
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 7: Damages and over a third of all of the nation's

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 7: flood related fatalities occur within the high risk designated areas.

80
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: Those are some pretty significant words about what we're anticipating.

81
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 4: This flooding could impact anywhere. Again, downtown Los Angeles could

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: be susceptible. In the Baysin area of LA you could

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: see some isolated flash flooding taking place there. Obviously, we're

84
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: worried about all of the burn scars. All of the

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: burn scars mark not just Palisades and eaten and sunset.

86
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: These terrible ones we experienced this year. Every fire you

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: can think of in the past few years that has

88
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 4: been named that we have reported on over these years,

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 4: it's referenced in this report, whether it's the Kenneth fire

90
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: or the Bridge fire, the airport fire in Orange County

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: is also particularly vulnerable. All of these burn scars are

92
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: very most impacted by the rain as the mountains. So

93
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: when you hear the forecast swing from three inches to

94
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 4: eleven pl inches, it's the mountains that they're forecasting that's

95
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: going to hit the hardest, and stuff rolls off those

96
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 4: mountains right back down onto the rest of us.

97
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a very well described I mean that's exactly.

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: Or look, I was just looking at the radar return

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: and seeing that it's just a blips and blabs right now.

100
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: But the kind of sustained rains they're looking at, and

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: the boy he described it so well, that meteorologist in

102
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: the National Weather Service, Because once the ground is saturated,

103
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: then it really takes on a kind of different qualities.

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: Exactly what he's saying is like, Okay, so we might

105
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 4: get this barrage of rain late tonight into overnight tomorrow,

106
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: Christmas Eve, and that will do some damage to the ground.

107
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: It will become a little bit unstable afterwards, even if

108
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: the ground hasn't moved in terms of a mudslide or

109
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: a rockslide or something like that. All it would take,

110
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: he says, is just additional light rain because it's already destabilized.

111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: So as this lingering storm spits on his hard or

112
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: spits on his soft, there's a lot of different vulnerabilities.

113
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: The scariest part to me in watching the news conference

114
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: both from the county this morning and the city in

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: the afternoon, which featured this meteorologist. They're pretty much saying,

116
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: don't drive around. Well, what's significant about this week, Mark,

117
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: I mean it's Christmas exactly.

118
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, a lot.

119
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: We know we've been reporting on the travel and the

120
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: traffic and all that people have left town or people

121
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: are coming into town.

122
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 6: That's great, but there's local travel in the holidays.

123
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 4: You might be getting together with friends on Christmas Eve

124
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: or Christmas Day, you might be getting with your family

125
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: on those holidays. You're expected to drive, and they're saying

126
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 4: that if you don't have to, you should not on Christmas.

127
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that's gonna be a tough one, as you suggest,

128
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: and in fact, accompanying these rains. We've been talking about

129
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: the rain because I think it's the central feature of

130
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: it all, but they're very high winds that will accompany

131
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: this as well. So you might think, well, I'll stay

132
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: off the freeways, I'll take service streets. Service streets could

133
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: be affected by down power lines, down trees. I mean,

134
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: there's a you know, and again I don't want to

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: overstate things, but by the same token, you know, I

136
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: don't think you can soft pedal this.

137
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 4: No, you're absolutely right. And the thing with the winds

138
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: is that it's similar to the rain forecast. It's everywhere.

139
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes in the forecast, you know, we'll run through the

140
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: weather and the anchor booth and say, you know, oh,

141
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: in high winds in the Antelope Valley today, but only there.

142
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: These thirty five to fifty five mile per hour winds

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 4: are forecasted everywhere in southern California, with again the mountains

144
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: being more vulnerable to even higher winds.

145
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 6: And what do the winds do when they're really high.

146
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: They knock down trees, branches, more stuff that could be

147
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: problematic should they become part of any debris flow, mud

148
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: slide rocks could be falling on the freeways was another warning.

149
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: You know, you've got to be aware of a lot

150
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: of things. I mean, it seems like we are in

151
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 4: Hollywood writing some horrible Hollywood disaster movie and this build up.

152
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: But like you said, we don't want to overstate it,

153
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: but we are relaying this very important information from very

154
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: knowledgeable people, not just city officials looking to get some

155
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 4: prece scientists who are saying this Pineapple Express.

156
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 6: Atmospheric river is very very serious.

157
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a it's a combination of meteorological variables.

158
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: They're all coming together, and this is what we have so.

159
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: Right at the holiday, Yeah, which which just really is

160
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: an inflection point, you know, from they could have been.

161
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: Next week, Like next week is that weird week between

162
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: Christmas and New Year's where you don't know what to

163
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: do with yourself.

164
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 6: Nobody's at work. It's just a weird We all.

165
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: Could have just sat at home and ate the leftovers,

166
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: ordered some pizza, caught up on Netflix.

167
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 6: But it's happening right at the height of the holiday.

168
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: I mean, to be fair, tomorrow, there are a lot

169
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: of officers that are closing early. I mean probably, I

170
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: would think, because of what we're talking about, say, hey,

171
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: don't worry about coming in, or we have some other

172
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: there may be a break of sorts. But there's also

173
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: what you're describing, which is travel you're compelled to do,

174
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: meaning it's family, it's a celebration. We'll get there one

175
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 2: way or the other. And it's for those reasons that

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: I guess they're issuing all these warnings. So the last thing,

177
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: there are evacuations, There are flood watches, and eventually those

178
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: will be warnings issued as flash flooding begins to take hold.

179
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: I guess we'll just update that hour hour.

180
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 6: We will keep an eye on it.

181
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 4: The evacuation warnings are primarily around burn areas. There are

182
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: some evacuation orders that last count in the city of

183
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: Los Angeles proper just over one hundred and twenty homes

184
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: we're being knocked on by local officialcity you got to

185
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: get out. And in the unincorporated part of La County

186
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 4: again similar number, just over one hundred and twenty are

187
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 4: being knocked on. But should this situation take a bad turn,

188
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 4: than those evacuation warnings could very quickly turn to orders.

189
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about this, people that is it Ranchro Palace

190
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 2: Veritas where they they have the constant trying to drain

191
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: off that hill.

192
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: I mean those poor people, I mean, I don't know.

193
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: And again they're just a sliver of the you know,

194
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: those poor people that were worried about.

195
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: There's twenty group of those.

196
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 6: Twenty families sure that live in those homes.

197
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: So it's a small number in the grand scheme of

198
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 4: Southern California. But those are one hundred and twenty people

199
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 4: who are now being told to leave their house at Christmas.

200
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is what a pain? Yeah? Wow,

201
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: nature tests us in southern California.

202
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, and I look out here and I think

203
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: this is not the Christmas I pay my rent for.

204
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: Michael Monks, thank you. We will keep you posted hour

205
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 2: to hour here at kfive. That is the very latest

206
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: at this point, though.

207
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

208
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

209
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: I'm just off of my YouTube show, the Mark Thompson Showing.

210
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: If you need to reach me for any reason, because

211
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: a couple of people did email me, I'm you. I'm

212
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: emailable at the Mark Thompson Show at gmail dot com.

213
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: So the reason I mentioned that it's not the name

214
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 2: of this show, but it's the name of this other show.

215
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: So that's why it's the Mark Thompson showt gmail dot com.

216
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: And one of the emails I got was related to

217
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: something we're talking about yesterday and was related to the

218
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: Reiner murders, and it was specifically related to the question

219
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: of competency to stand trial. And I was suggesting, I

220
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: was just sort of asking the open question that if

221
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: you can execute the double murder of your parents, you

222
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: can then you know, check into a hotel and you

223
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: know they're you know, disposed the murder weapon, all these things.

224
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,119
Speaker 2: I would think your competence to stand trial is implied,

225
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 2: you know, like it's I always associate insanity or they're

226
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: going to claim insanity or whatever as the inability to

227
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: distinguish between right and wrong. But it was suggested to

228
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: me again by email that you know, this is kind

229
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: of an open question and this is a standard question.

230
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Was the point that was being made to me yesterday.

231
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: In fact, the I'm just trying to I'm these specific

232
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: I got a few of these. Everybody was sort of

233
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: weighing in on whether they felt he should meet the

234
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: standard for competence to stand trial. But Kenneth says, there

235
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: are two elements. One is do you understand the nature

236
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: of the charges against you? And two do you have

237
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: the ability to communicate in a meaningful way with your attorney?

238
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: And I guess these are the two things that they

239
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: are evaluating when they talk about competence to stand trial.

240
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: So thank you to Kenneth Stern, who is himself a lawyer,

241
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: and I appreciate that everybody else just had an opinion,

242
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: but Kenneth sort of was leaning on the law in

243
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: this case. But there are continuing details out of the

244
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: Reiner case, and there are new details today.

245
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 5: Well.

246
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 8: Nick Rhiner, of course, was a really complicated case, and

247
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 8: we know that he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and a

248
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 8: lot of people are looking back this when did things

249
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 8: go wrong? What exactly was his trajectory here? And we

250
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 8: actually spoke with an expert on the matter, Jeffrey Lieberman

251
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 8: came on TMS Live yesterday and he explained to us

252
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 8: that this could be a personal issue and also a

253
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 8: systemic issue too. Keep in mind, Nick Lieberman came in

254
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 8: and out of rehab eighteen different times, and what's the

255
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 8: issue with these lehabs in Lieberman's perspective is he says

256
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 8: that these lehabs are short lived. A lot of people

257
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 8: go there for about thirty days or so, and once

258
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 8: they're clean, they're let back out. So maybe, in hindsight,

259
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 8: when you're addressing a mental health issue like schizophrenia, it's

260
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 8: important that they're in longer term care, maybe facilities where

261
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 8: they could be monitored for a longer period of time.

262
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 8: So I think that's some of the hindsight that you're

263
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 8: seeing here.

264
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I just can't imagine just in general. You're

265
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: a father, you're a mother, You have a child who

266
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: is racked by all kinds of psychological issues. I'm talking

267
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: about iCal psychological issues. You want to talk about schizophrenia.

268
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: That's not a thing that you know, you can kind

269
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: of work out and talk therapy. You need to in

270
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: a situation like schizophrenia, address it in more aggressive fashion typically, right, And.

271
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: So you're dealing with that.

272
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: Plus you have a child who has incredible issues with

273
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: substance abuse. I mean, he had addiction issues from the

274
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: age of fifteen. So you're going on year after year

275
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: on the one hand, knowing that the child in this

276
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: case Nick Reiner your son has the need for ongoing therapy,

277
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: an aggressive kind of therapy at that and you want

278
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: a relationship with your son. So these things sometime sometimes

279
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: are conflicting, and so you end up in Rob Reiner

280
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: talked about this, talked about the fact that he was

281
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: being counseled at the time.

282
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: Along the way anyway to you.

283
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: Offer a sort of tough love, you know, whereas his

284
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: instinct was to be more embracing, warmer. But it's suggested

285
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: by professionals at the time that that is a sort

286
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: of enabling or at least it can oftentimes end up

287
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: being that way. So you end up with all of

288
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: these cross currents. And all I'm trying to say is

289
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: the emotional cross currents are as strong as the therapeutic

290
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: cross currents. You're getting different advice on what to do

291
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: from a therapeutic standpoint, and you're feeling differently because you're

292
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: trying to have a relationship with your son, an insanely

293
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: difficult situation. And of course what they're pointing out here

294
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: is absolutely true, which is that the lifespan on these.

295
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: Various places.

296
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: You'll go for thirty days to kick an addiction or

297
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: to address an addiction, is oftentimes a court mandated so

298
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: you don't always have buy in from those going. But

299
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: in this case of Nick Reiner, I don't know to

300
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: what extent he was buying into it, but he went

301
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: back so often that clearly something was missing and clearly

302
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: that that dance wasn't working for him. And yet that

303
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: thirty day program is pretty much standard, very complicated. There's

304
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: more and we'll continue. It's a Conway Show. Mark Thompson

305

Speaker 2: sitting in for Tim KFI AM six forty. We're live

Speaker 3: As we wait for rain.

309
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

310
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

311
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: Yes, we're expecting this monster series of days. Weather wise,

312
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: to call it a storm, I guess he is a

313
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: fair way to characterize it.

314
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: But it's really going to be a series of.

315
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: Weather systems or an overall weather scenario that's going to

316
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: be punctuated by a bunch of different intense moments. The

317
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 2: collective accumulated rainfall totals is the thing that is most

318
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: dangerous because you get the saturation of the land, all

319
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: the rain soaked hillsides around southern California, even those areas

320
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 2: that aren't hillsides can be flooded early on, and then

321
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: after that's soaking, the rain continues, and these precipitation totals

322
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: are intense. I mean, you know, five to eight inches

323
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: of rain, and then of course in the foothills and

324
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: mountains you'll get more. They're looking at possibility of north

325
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: of eleven inches of rain. So anyway, we're watching this

326
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: hour to hour and things are just kind of beginning

327
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 2: in earnest and we'll keep you posted on that. We're

328
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 2: talking about the Nick Rehiner, Rob Reiner, and Michelle Reiner

329
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: horror that has shocked.

330
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: All of us. It's also shocking because.

331
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: Nick, the offspring of Rob and Michelle, troubled in so

332
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: many ways that are now just kind of coming to light.

333
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: The schizophrenia that's being talked about. So it's more than

334
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: just an addict who was somehow falling back into addiction.

335
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: He seemed to have serious mental issues that the family

336
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: had been struggling with for many, many years. So now,

337
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: of course, in the shadow of everything that happened, a

338
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: lot of this is these are revelations that are coming

339
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: to light so I'm.

340
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 9: Wondering is the reason why the motive behind it not

341
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 9: so much the drug use, but in actually the schizophrenia

342
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 9: that may have made him do this.

343
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 10: Listen.

344
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 8: I'm not a doctor, but I think it might be

345
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 8: a combination of both. And actually, what Lieberman said is

346
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 8: when you go to a rehab facility.

347
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: And Lieberman is this guy that I'd spoken to who

348
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: I guess had been involved with the rehab facilities multiple

349
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: times and was just sort of speaking on this.

350
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm uncleared.

351
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: You know, they keep referring to this Liberman as he

352
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: but anyway, that was I know he has that perspective

353
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: and he brings it to Listen.

354
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 8: I'm not a doctor, but I think it might be

355
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 8: a combination of both. And actually what Liberman said is

356
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 8: when you go to a rehab facility, and maybe the

357
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 8: point of that rehab is not primarily to address something

358
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 8: like schizophrenia, that can maybe make it more likely when

359
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 8: once you're released, you might turn to drug use. And

360
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 8: we know that Nick definitely had an issue with drugs.

361
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 8: Maybe that what was also exasperating his schizophrenia too.

362
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was right, Okay, we get right, we get

363
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: what you're saying. Yeah, that I think is the biggest

364
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: revelation here as we sort of do the sad work

365
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: of trying to figure out what happened, that there might

366
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 2: have been something quite more serious than just an addiction.

367
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 8: So really, I mean, at the end of the day,

368
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 8: they never addressed the root of the issue, and that's

369
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 8: why things took a terrible turn.

370
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 11: Okay, I'm all right, Jacob, as far as you know,

371
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 11: I think, well, we don't know that they didn't address

372
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 11: the root of the issue.

373
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they may have very much addressed it. They

374
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: just may you know, the root of the issue just

375
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: to may have been one of those things that was

376
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: not addressable in the way it needed to be addressed.

377
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm certain if he was diagnosed with schizophrenia they were

378
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 2: addressing it.

379
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 3: But you know, if you're I don't.

380
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: Know, there's a lot of there's a lot of chatter

381
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: here from people to you know, know a little bit.

382
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 2: But if he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, I promise you

383
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 2: Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner were treating him for that,

384
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: it was like, well, let's you know, let's see how

385
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 2: he can, let's see how he does. No, I mean,

386
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: I'm certain of that the problem here is when you

387
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: add addiction and you add medications to a situation where

388
00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: you're actually dealing with a schizophrenic patient, then they're an

389
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 2: awful lot of variables that are playing with his mind, all.

390
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 11: Right, Jacob, As far as you know, I think the

391
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 11: last time we checked in with Michael, he talked about

392
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 11: how the next I guess the arraignment is going to

393
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 11: happen in early januaries, that kind of where things stand

394
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 11: here legally.

395
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, so that's going to be January seventh. Keep in mind,

396
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 8: when we were in court for Nick's last hearing, I mean,

397
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 8: we really didn't hear much from him. I think he

398
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 8: only just answered the judge once. From what we've been told,

399
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 8: he's actually been pretty calm.

400
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 6: You would think maybe.

401
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 8: He's of course angry, aggressive, but that's not what we've heard.

402
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 8: I think our sources are telling us that he's really

403
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 8: just been kind of in a daze, and it's going

404
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 8: to be interesting to see how he presents himself in

405
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 8: just a few weeks and.

406
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 9: No word from the siblings since this happened.

407
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 8: Well, the siblings issued a statement, of course, saying how

408
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 8: they are just distraught beyond belief, but they've not dressed

409
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 8: Nick head On.

410
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's the TMG cru So that's why

411
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: that was like that kind of you know, people kicking

412
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: it around because they are I mean, I'm not saying

413
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 2: that they don't know a lot. I'm just saying that

414
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: was kind of the environment they were hitting it around.

415
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: There are are more reports out of this world of

416
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: the Reiners, and we learned that LAPD had been to

417
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: the house multiple times. There were calls for service involving

418
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: incidents from alleged family violence to welfare and mental health checks.

419
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 2: So this is an ongoing situation that tragically ended with

420
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: this brutal, brutal event, and I still can't believe it happened.

421
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: I still can't believe it. What a wonderful guy Rob

422
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: Reiner was. I don't know Michelle Reiner, by all accounts,

423
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: she was equally wonderful, But I know Rob Reiner is

424
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: such a special, special guy who was clearly, i mean,

425
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: such a mega influence in the creative world of Hollywood. Anyway,

426
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: that's the latest, and as more revelations come to four,

427
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: we will have them for you. We are watching the rain.

428
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 2: It will be big and it will be sustained.

429
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

430
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

431
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: Tomorrow and Christmas Day are going to be awful in

432
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: southern California from the stampin point of weather and wherever

433
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 2: you're going, I suspect weather is going to be a

434
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: big component of your travel. In a few minutes, we'll

435
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: talk to someone from the National Weather Service. We'll get

436
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 2: the very latest. But I ran into something to someone

437
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: who I know through the world of animal welfare. Her

438
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: name is Bobby Leonard, and she has a skincare line

439
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: and a whole bunch of stuff, and a bunch of

440
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: that the revenue that comes in there goes to animal welfare.

441
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: And I didn't realize this. I mean, this is what

442
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: an interesting entrepreneurial thing. You know, you start a business

443
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: and then you direct on a continuing basis, a bunch

444
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: of the revenue from that business into you know, not

445
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: just a one off, a continued flow into animal welfare.

446
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: Anyway.

447
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: So well, Bobby, come on, tell me, tell me what

448
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: it is. And so if she joins us, now, welcome

449
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: to KOFI Bobby Leonard.

450
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 10: Hi, Hi, Mark Thompson, the guy with the best voice

451
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 10: in the world.

452
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: Thank you.

453
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 10: Beth, the Beth.

454
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: You're so cool. Yeah, so tell me about what is it?

455
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 3: What is the line called first of All?

456
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 10: Okay, Bobby Leonard Living. It started twenty seven years ago,

457
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 10: and it was an ironic situation. I was doing full

458
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 10: time television with Steve Edwards and I had built the

459
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 10: largest design company United States. And my life changed in

460
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 10: one minute. I ran into this doctor who developed a

461
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 10: product they won the Nobil price for medicine and it

462
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 10: changed my face, my skin, everything. And so to cut

463
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 10: to the chase, I sold my company. But I've always

464
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 10: donated twenty five to forty percent per year to either

465
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 10: when I had my design company or with this new company,

466
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 10: which is twenty seven years old. I feel that when

467
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 10: you build a company of whatever type you build, that

468
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 10: it changes your life if you donate to something that

469
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 10: you're passionate about. And as you know, Mark, my life

470
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 10: is all about giving to the animals. It's everything. As

471
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 10: you know, I do two or three events a year

472
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 10: for different people, like you know, Wayne Pacelli. I earned

473
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 10: over a million dollars for LCA, and I think let's

474
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 10: last chance for animals. And I think that if you

475
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 10: tie in to a skincare company, that's this big. We're

476
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 10: wholesalers and we sell all over the world, and we

477
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 10: own a product called epidermal growth Factor, and we own

478
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 10: a patent on plant based stem cells. And how we

479
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 10: got so big is beyond me. But we're the largest

480
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 10: hotell line really, I mean it's it's because you're giving

481
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 10: all the time. You're always if I sell a kid Mark,

482
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 10: I'm thinking I saved the dog, you know, just like that.

483
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 2: That's uh, it's a fascinating story just to you know,

484
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: and that you put philanthropy so much into that story,

485
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: you know, as part of the story and part of

486
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: the success is is beyond interesting. It makes me, you know,

487
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 2: it's intriguing. You wonder to what extent if you dedicate

488
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: a part of your business to some kind of charitable

489
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: foundation or some sort of a charitable work, how that

490
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: might influence just the way you look at the business.

491
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: So you.

492
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: Help me with the charity, like the animal charities and

493
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: animal welfare. I know you're very active with rescue. I

494
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: know you're very animal kind of animal oriented. When you

495
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: look at the world, you try to sort of be

496
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: minimally impactful on the world. The animal kingdom is that

497
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: so is that how you choose the charities to get

498
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: this money.

499
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 10: Yes, I make sure that we're checking very carefully on

500
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 10: each and every charity that we donate to and that

501
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 10: everything is on the up and up. And you've got

502
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 10: to be careful in our world. Wherever you give money,

503
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 10: you want to make sure it's being utilized for the

504
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 10: right things. And there are a few companies that are

505
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 10: just great or charities, I might add, And I've worked

506
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 10: for LCA for probably over fifteen years, for christ Rows

507
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 10: and last Chancestic, Yeah the best. And I was honored

508
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 10: with Diane Warren last year and I was greatly honored,

509
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 10: more than any other any kind of awards that are

510
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 10: received in my life. And then also, as you know,

511
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 10: you were at the event I did for Wayne for

512
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 10: selling and I really feel there's certain people that dedicate

513
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 10: their lives to this and I can't help enough. This year,

514
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 10: I'm doing two more events, one for PCRM for doctor

515
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 10: Neil Bernard, shut out.
