1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 2: Always good to talk to you. It is super duper, 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: super duper.

And then I see these stories 6 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: about like trees falling over, massive oak trees falling over 7 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: and crashing into people's cars, and I think that sucks. 8 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: We're just not used to it. We're kind of spoiled, 9 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: aren't we. But if you talk to if you've got family, 10 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: if you're from the Midwest, you got family in the Midwest, 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 2: you got friends in the Midwest, they go, okay, yeah, 12 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: you got like you got like some rain and a 13 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: tree fell over. That's what happens. But uh, just we're 14 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: not really we're not really accustomed to that, aren't we. 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: Here's a NBCL like giving a bit of a recap 16 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: of what we saw so far. 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 3: A joint oak tree came crashing down onto a park 18 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 3: car on Meadowbrook Road near Allan Avenue in Altadena Saturday, 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 3: where the saturated ground could no longer anchor this massive tree. 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: We just heard an unnatural noise, like just a big bang. 21 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 3: Jim dramatic who's visiting Altadena for work, was shocked when 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 3: he realized the tree had fallen on top of his 23 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: rental car. 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 4: Oh the rental car. I wonder if he had insurance. 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 4: I never buy the insurance. Oh, Jim, I hope you 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 4: had the. 27 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: Insurance, or at least you put it on a card 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 2: that offers you insurance. You know, travel cards do that too. 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: And I walked down. I was like, oh my god, 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: I come believe it. I come believe it. Oh my God. 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: Not my car got smashed by a tree because it 32 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: wasn't raining that hard here at that time. It wasn't 33 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: raining that hard, So God knows what caused, you know, 34 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: this giant, one hundred and fifty year old oak tree 35 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: to fall down. I'm gonna take a stab here, and 36 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say gravity. 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: In South Pasadena, the heavy rain caused sinkholes along edge 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: would drive and then. 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: I couldn't drive for and I couldn't drive backwards. 40 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 5: And so I got out of the car and realized 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 5: that I was the rear of my car was in 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 5: a big sinkhole, and my wheels were six inches below 43 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 5: the level of the street. 44 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: Uh, all right, that's bad, but look again, we're a 45 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: little pampered, aren't we. Caleb. When you you were your 46 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 2: New Jersey or East Coast girl, right when you learned 47 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: to drive, did you did you drive in New Jersey? Yeah? 48 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: I drove in New Jersey. Okay, So you had to 49 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: deal with the snow, right, yes? Yeah? Did you ever 50 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: get stuck in the snow and have to rock your 51 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: way out of it? Yeah? Yeah I did. I mean, 52 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: it's just what you do, right. I feel like here, Look, 53 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: I get when the roads are slick because our roads 54 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: are just not engineered for heavy rain. So I kind 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: of understand that a little more when you spin out. 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: I've spun out on roads that are engineered for rain, 57 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: so I mean I have a little more. But I 58 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: mean when you're when your car is stuck in a hole, like, 59 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: there's way to get out of that right now? I 60 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: wasn't there, so maybe maybe it's not that bad. But 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: I've seen potholes bigger than six inches deep, right, six 62 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: inches It is a big pothole. But the idea that well, 63 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: that's it. I guess the car's totaled. Man, maybe not. 64 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: So I was stuck in Malibu. 65 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: The persistent rain meant fewer visitors to the Palisades Burnscar area. 66 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: The intersection of Los Florists Canyon Road and PCH is 67 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: an area prone to flooding and mudslides. Duke's Restaurant is 68 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: located at the base of the canyon and is still 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: closed after a mudslide caused significant damage in February. 70 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, we covered that. Did you see them? You remember 71 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: the mudslides from earlier this year at Duke's. The mud 72 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: was coming in, kind of washing the door out, mud 73 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: all over. It was like inches deep throughout the entire place. Man, man, 74 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: just double whammy for them. 75 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 3: Businesses along PCH say it was surprisingly quiet during the storm. 76 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: Officials are warning people to stay alert because the is 77 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: heavily saturated, so we could still trigger mud slides and 78 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: debris flow, even uproot trees like we saw right here tonight. 79 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: And they're telling people also, we are expecting even more 80 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: rain in the coming days. 81 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: That's the part that's gonna stink. Look tree uprooted here. 82 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: A little bit of flooding there, that's not so bad. 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: More rain on top of this with obviously the burn 84 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: scars and the mudslides. 85 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 3: All right, don't get comfortable right now. Even though the 86 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 3: rain has slowed down just a bit, We've still seen 87 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: a steady amount of rain throughout the day. It's been 88 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: pretty consistent, even though it seems a little bit lighter 89 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: than what we saw during early. 90 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: All right, So you get the point, rain, wet, mud slides. 91 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 2: We get that. I do think there's a bit of 92 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: an overreaction, though, I do, and I think that has 93 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: to do with just sort of our our experience, right, 94 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: our experience is different than what it is elsewhere. For instance, 95 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: people in Miami are laughing at us right now because 96 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: they have to deal with hurricanes. We didn't have a hurricane. 97 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: We had some rain come down, right, I think it's fair. 98 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: But also Miami doesn't have burn scars and then don't 99 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: have mud slides like we do. So to each their own. 100 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 2: The idea of the rain, and what wigs me out though, 101 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: is that every time it rains, how many people on 102 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: the road lose their freaking minds and some people just 103 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: and maybe you're one of them. Maybe you're just terrified 104 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 2: of actually being on the road when it gets wet, 105 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: And I understand if you are. Again, lack of experience 106 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: leads to that. In fact, if you are terrified. You 107 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: admit it. I have more respect for you than somebody 108 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 2: that is scared and then decides they're gonna go drive 109 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 2: it anyway, because I'm not afraid. I'll be honest with 110 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: yourself before you kill somebody. Okay, I was I was scrolling, 111 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: you know how you do in the bathroom.

But I continue to have 159 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: this this question of if Trump is in the files 160 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: and it's so damning, why didn't the Democrats use it 161 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: when they were running for reelection? And if there's something 162 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: in there that's so damning to the Democrats, why isn't 163 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: Trump using that? I mean, look, the the Epstein arrest 164 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: happened during his first term. He didn't use it, and 165 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: Biden had time to investigate, they didn't use anything. And 166 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: now but but they're still trying to block everything going on. 167 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: So anyway, what do you think is in the Epstein files? 168 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: We'll talk more about it coming up on the show. 169 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: But I'm curious about what what your thoughts are. 170 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, Chris Merrill, Oh weren't preempted by the Chargers again 171 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 7: playing this morning?

It's 184 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: not that I'm not a big fan of the of 185 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: the overseas games. I actually I'm fine with that. That's great. 186 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 2: I actually like having an early game. That's good. What 187 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of is that the teams that 188 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: go over there tend to be just garbage. So not 189 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 2: a big fan of Oh no, I'm sorry, Oh god, 190 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: kill is this right? The Chargers got blown out?

I didn't watch, no, I had red 193 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: Zone on. I wasn't even watching any in particular game. 194 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: I don't the toilet. Oh my gosh, you're exactly right. Oh, boy, 195 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: do I feel foolish? You know, the Chargers got blown 196 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 2: out by the Jags thirty five to six. Okay, well, 197 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 2: my bad on that. My apologies, gang, I wasn't paying 198 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 2: attention to it. Okay, So still to come here, federal indictments, 199 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: secret injury info, and investigators are demanding cell phones from 200 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 2: inside the lakers own building. The latest twist and sports 201 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: gambling is hitting right next to the biggest name in 202 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: LA basketball since Kobe. It's next. I'm Chris Merril. 203 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 204 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: Chris Merril, KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on 205 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 2: demand anytime in the iHeartRadio app. We'll get to this 206 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: this bombshell around the betting scandal that continues to erupt 207 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: all over the NBA in a moment. However, I did 208 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: ask the question of the talkback. If you're listening on 209 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app, just go ahead and hit that talkback button. 210 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: If you're not listening on the app, check it out. 211 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: Hit the talkback button. And the question that I what 212 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: do you think is in the Epstein files? Because if 213 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 2: it's about Trump, the Democrats didn't release it, so why 214 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: didn't they and if it's about the Democrats, Trump isn't 215 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: releasing it, so why didn't they? 216 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 7: The Epstein files have not been released because this nonpartisan. 217 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 7: That means the possible sex with young girls reaches all 218 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 7: across the aisles. It can be Democrats, it can Republicans, 219 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 7: can be anybody. So therefore it's not released because everybody 220 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 7: is on that list. 221 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would call that bipartisan. Actually, let's call it 222 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: bipartisan pedophilia, or as Megan Kelly says, it's not pedophilia, 223 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: it's hebophilia. She had really detailed and that don't call 224 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: the people on the Epstein list pedophiles because the people 225 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 2: were they were adolescents. They got It's been a bizarre week. 226 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 2: It's been a weird week. Yeah, been o. All right, 227 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: So what do you think is in the Epstein files? 228 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 2: What is it that is so big that we're don't 229 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 2: look here? The DOJ said there's nothing to see here, 230 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: and now we're opening another investigation after the DJ said 231 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: there was nothing there, which of course none of us believed. 232 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 2: But the investigation is to focus specifically on the Democrats 233 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 2: in the file. I don't have any idea what to 234 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: make of it. We'll get We'll get more of your 235 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: thoughts on that. Again, if you're on the iHeart Radio, 236 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: I pit that talk back let us know. The Lakers 237 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 2: are being dragged into this NBA gambling scandal. So there 238 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: were arrests of a couple of other players, Terry Rozier 239 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: and then the head coach of Portland, Chauncey Billups, who 240 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: was a former player himself. They got arrested for fixing 241 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: poker games. Basically, now it sounds like there's a probe 242 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: that is going right at the Lakers from. 243 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 8: Katla Fong the teams, the NBA is asked to provide 244 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 8: documents and other property as part of its investigation into 245 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 8: illegal sports gambling. That's according to a report from the Atlantic, 246 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 8: which names the Lakers assistant trainer and executive administrator as 247 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 8: those who are cooperating involuntarily handing over their cell phones. 248 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 8: Last month, the FBI announced two gambling scandals involving more 249 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 8: than thirty current and former NBA players. 250 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: Okay, and then it cuts off. So yeah, the I 251 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: think the moral of this story is and the idea 252 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: is there were their trainers, were their players that were 253 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: leaking information or were they're being paid for inside information 254 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: like injuries and things like that. Okay, and the Atlanta 255 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: excuse me, Athletic did a deep dive into this too, 256 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: and they kind of laid out some of you heard 257 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: Eileen talking about two with their news that to Damon Jones, 258 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 2: who you may recognize you to wear a Lakers' uniform 259 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: kind of an unofficial team assistant. Now he's accused of 260 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: selling this intel on two Laker stars and selling that 261 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: intel to gamblers. So now there's ten Laker employees that 262 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: they say are going to be searched. Lebron is not 263 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: one of them. He's not been charged. Fed say that 264 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: Damon Jones learned injury info from a team trainer before 265 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 2: two major games. And then other teams tied to the 266 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 2: federal charges, including the Orlando Magic Portland Trail Blazers. Those 267 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: are allegations of tanking intel injury leaks. And then this 268 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: poker game fraud that I mentioned earlier, which I think 269 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: it's somewhat inevitable. There's a lot of money on the line, 270 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: and sports betting is everywhere, and we try to outlaw 271 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: it because freedom, but I think it goes without saying that. 272 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: Anytime you're talking about gambling. You're gonna have someon savory 273 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: characters are going to try to game the system. You can, 274 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: try to win, try to take money anyway they can, 275 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: because it's not about you. Have to understand the mentality 276 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 2: is not about the competition. The mentality is how do 277 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: I win, how do I get more, what does it 278 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 2: take to get more? And how do I best someone else? Haha, 279 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: it's not about the competition. I'm smarter than you because 280 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: I figured out how to beat you. And then it 281 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: becomes shady as all gay out, a little mafio so 282 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: esque Mafish, Mafisch Mafish, sticking with mafiash, lawmakers, lawbreakers, times 283 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: there ought to be a law.

You 331 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: might have gotten away with snagging you know, a couple grand, 332 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 2: but I would even then, I think you anything over 333 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: about five hundred dollars. I think beyond petty cash. They're 334 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: going to notice that it's missing. 335 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 5: We heard the term, especially when President Trump was running 336 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 5: for president the first time, drain the swamp. And that's 337 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 5: something that I've heard from insiders here in Sacramento. This 338 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 5: is very swampy. It's the political class up here, you know, 339 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 5: doing nefarious things essentially and really not. 340 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 2: Being held accountable for it, and. 341 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 5: Then something like this happens again. Governor Newsom not named 342 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 5: in this, just the fact that his former top eight 343 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 5: is and political had some reporting too earlier this week 344 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 5: that said that as soon as the governor found out 345 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 5: about this, Dania Williamson was no longer his chief of 346 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 5: staff again. Javier besserah running for governor in a field 347 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 5: that is wide open right now, and really the indictment 348 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 5: has painted him as the victim in this. I mean, 349 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 5: these are people that he trusted that we're stealing from 350 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 5: him allegedly, and so he said this was something that 351 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 5: was hard to learn about, but also said that he 352 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 5: has been in full cooperation with the. 353 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: Department of Justice. Yeah, full cooperation. He's also confirmed that 354 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: he is listed in that investigation in the indictment. He's 355 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: public official one said that the accusations are from a 356 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 2: trusted advisor, and that they are a gut punch blah 357 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: blah blah. So basically they say, Bessera is the victim. 358 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 2: Doesn't really matter when it comes to politics. If your 359 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: name is attached to anything criminal, people are going to 360 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: look at it like you're somehow involved. Even if you're not, 361 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 2: you're somehow involved, Or if you're not involved, then you're 362 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 2: somehow a goober for allowing it to happen right in 363 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 2: the same way, And I think this goes back to, Honestly, 364 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 2: I think this goes back to being a parent. Honestly, 365 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: I want you to think about our guttural instincts here 366 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: right what drives us, and that is we got to 367 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: protect our kids, and if anything happens to our kids, 368 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: we blame ourselves. My gosh, I should have been there. 369 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 2: What could I have done differently? How could something have 370 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 2: happened to my child? And we blame ourselves, and likewise 371 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: we sort of project that mentality onto public officials. Wait 372 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 2: a minute, you've been entrusted with money. Now, in this case, 373 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 2: it was campaign funds, it wasn't tax dollars that were stole. 374 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: In a I don't believe. I think it's all these 375 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 2: campaign funds, which were basically put into a dormant account 376 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 2: for Basra to be able to use in the future. 377 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: But what we do is we say, if that were me, 378 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: and it were something important to me, I would blame 379 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 2: myself if anything happened to it. I would blame myself. 380 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: If if my daughter started dating a guy who ended 381 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: up being abusive, I would blame myself for not sussing 382 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 2: it out sooner. Of course, I would be sympathetic, and 383 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: I would want to do everything I could to comfort 384 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: my daughter. And if I'm being honest, I would want 385 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: some sort of vengeance on the person. I would want that. 386 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 2: I'd like to think that I would instead turn to 387 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: the wheels of justice because I'm a logical person and 388 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: ultimately I'm a coward, But I would I would. I 389 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 2: would want bad things to happen to that person, but 390 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: I would blame myself. How did I not see this? 391 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 2: I would feel hurt. When we see this happen to 392 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: an elected official, we say, how could you let that happen? 393 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: In the same way that we'd blame ourselves if it 394 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 2: were something important to us, we look at the other 395 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: person and we go, how could you let that happen? Right? 396 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 2: We can sort of project how we might react to 397 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 2: something affecting being very important in our own lives. And 398 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: then finally, let's do this, let's go to let's go 399 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: to Oakland. Might surprise you to find out that there's 400 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: a massive chop shop running in Oakland. Right, multi agency 401 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: task force raiding a property in East Oakland. Why this 402 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: dude was running in what they called an unregistered auto 403 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: repair shop that was actually a chop shop, operating open 404 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: openly for months despite repeating complaints and prior warnings. If 405 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: it's an unregistered auto repair shop, one of the odds 406 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: that it's not a chop shop. Right. I understand a 407 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: shade tree mechanic. But if you're at the point where 408 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 2: you're like, uh, you're opening a shop and you have 409 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 2: employees and you're not registering, that's shady. That's shady. I 410 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: was surprised to find this though, as I was reading 411 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: a story about this chop shop and how many cars 412 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: get stolen and just a ton of cars get stolen 413 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: all over the place in California, but actually recover something 414 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: like eighty five percent of the cars that get stolen 415 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: in the state get recovered. That surprised me. I figured that, Mike, 416 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: if my car's not there when I come out of 417 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 2: the store, or if I come out of my apartment 418 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: and my car's not where I left it, I assume 419 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 2: it's been stolen. I hope it got towed. That's kind 420 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: of my that's that's the order that I react. I go, oh, 421 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: my gosh, somebody stole my car. Maybe it got towed. 422 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 2: And then I start going, what did I do wrong 423 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 2: that could have gotten me towed? All because I'm just 424 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 2: hoping I got towed. I'm gonna get my car back right. 425 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 2: But if it's not, and then I realize that my 426 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: car has been stolen, I basically assume that by the 427 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: time the police take the report, it's already in Mexico. 428 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 2: I just assume all cars end up in Mexico for chopping. 429 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 2: But you know, obviously they're not. They're happening. Chop shops 430 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: are happening here too. But come to find out, what 431 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: they do more often than not is that they they 432 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: take your car, they scrub the VIN number off of 433 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: it in all the different VIN locations, and there's a 434 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 2: bunch of them on your car. And then they resell 435 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 2: it on Facebook marketplace. Basically, dang, why didn't I think 436 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 2: of that? I am working way too hard on an 437 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: honest day's work, way too hard. That's garbage. I got 438 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 2: to be better at thinking like a criminal. I gotta 439 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: I gotta really start stepping up my game. All right. 440 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 2: That's that's it for that. I did want to get 441 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 2: to this one more time. What do you think is 442 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: in the Epstein Files. We'll talk about the latest, the 443 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: latest on the mutiny going on within the the MAGA 444 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: con fines coming up in here in a Juste Canittler 445 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 2: go ahead and translate. 446 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 4: We're gonna cover what's going on in the Epstein files 447 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 4: in just a few minutes. 448 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: That what you were saying.

That's my two cents. 486 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think you. I think that's as plausible 487 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: as any explanation that there's just rich and powerful probably 488 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: telling the politicians. That's a great point, very good, which 489 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: I guess enough money is worth it, or enough enough 490 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 2: if something is worth it. 491 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 10: Hey, Chris love the show Man?

Here's what's in the Epstein files. 505 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 11: A lot of politicians, a lot of judges, a lot 506 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 11: of powerful people, a lot of CEOs, a lot of 507 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 11: people that make a lot of money that run this country. 508 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 11: That's what's in there, and that's why they're never coming 509 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 11: out and there will never be just as served. 510 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm afraid you might be right too. Yeah, that 511 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense to you. But what is 512 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: there a certain threshold? Do you make a certain amount 513 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: of money that like, Okay, who I just made a 514 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars last year.

And then 519 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: I didn't really realize that that was the thing, but 520 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 2: did he? And it showed us that you make enough 521 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 2: money and all of a sudden, you just, oh, bring 522 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: me the baby oil. 523 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 14: In the eighth graders, are we still talking about dape 524 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 14: steampez command men? 525 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: Give it a break? 526 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 2: Gee?

That's weird, creative, that's weird. 538 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: That would come in from DC. Bizarre. I will tell 539 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: you about the split because now there are a number 540 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: of republics when it comes to Sepstein file stuff that 541 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: are kind of weighing their options, and neither one of 542 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: them is very good. That's coming up here in just 543 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: a few moments. In the meantime, California is being sued 544 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 2: over your vote. So the DOJ has we knew that 545 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: they were going to investigate, and now they are in 546 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 2: fact suing California over the passage of Prop fifty. We 547 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: passed it, We voted for it. As a state. You 548 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: may not have voted for it, but as a state, 549 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: we voted for it. So why are we being sued? 550 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 2: Perhaps the rioting was on the wall for this to happen. 551 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 15: The Justice Department today is suing to block the new 552 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 15: congressional district maps outlined into Prop fifty and just approved 553 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 15: last week by voters. 554 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: From maybec seven. But why would they sue? I mean, 555 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: we voted for it. 556 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 15: This now sets the stage for a high stakes legal 557 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 15: and political fight between the Trump administration and the Governor Newson. 558 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: But we voted for it. What's unconstitutional about us voting 559 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 2: to change the law that we recently voted to put 560 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 2: in place in the first place. I mean, look, sometimes 561 00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: you can have propositions that do pass that are on 562 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: constitutional and they're later weighed and they're found to be unconstitutional. 563 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 2: What is it about this one that would raise that flag? 564 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 9: You? 565 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 15: If the complaint fails and Prop fifty stands, it gives 566 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 15: Democrats a chance to win five congressional seats now held 567 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 15: by Republicans in next year's midterm elections. Attorney General Pambondi 568 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 15: calls it a brazen power ground that mocks the democratic process. 569 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: Okay, but that's not illegal, and not that it shouldn't be, 570 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 2: but it's not illegal, uh, as evidence by Exhibit A Texas. 571 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: Of course. 572 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 15: Prop fifty was in response to a similar Republican led 573 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 15: effort in Texas, which was supported by President Trump. 574 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and ours was voted on by the people, not 575 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,719 Speaker 2: by the legislators. 576 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 15: It's worth noting the Justice Department has not taken such 577 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 15: action to challenge what happened in Texas. Governor knws spokesperson 578 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 15: releasing this brief statement to ABC News. Quote, these losers 579 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 15: lost at the battle box, and soon they will also 580 00:30:58,960 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 15: lose in court. 581 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 2: End quote. Huh, sounds like he's mocking somebody with a 582 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 2: two two area code too. 583 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 15: All of this unfolding before us as Newsome has emerged 584 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 15: as a likely presidential contender in twenty twenty eight. 585 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 2: So what is it that they argue is unconstitutional? What 586 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 2: they argue is unconstitutional, And I think they're gonna have 587 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 2: trouble proving this because the Supreme Court justices that President 588 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: Trump had installed when he was president basically have found 589 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: this to be not a concern in other states. But 590 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: they're going to say that by jerrymandering the maps, which 591 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 2: California is admittedly doing in response to Texas, they're doing 592 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 2: so in a manner that is, quote, manipulating district lines 593 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 2: in the name of bolstering the voting power of Hispanic Californians, 594 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 2: and the Justice Department will say because of their race. 595 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 2: So the Justice Department in California wants for race to 596 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 2: be a consideration when it comes to drawing the Yeah, 597 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: the congressional stretching map. However, North Carolina they would prefer. 598 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: Not so North Carolina, Wisconsin, other states. They go to 599 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 2: court and they say, wait a minute. The Republican legislatures 600 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: have jerrymandered this in order to diminish the vote of minorities, 601 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 2: and the courts went in the past, the courts said, yeah, 602 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: you can't do that. Current courts are more along the 603 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: lines of well, we don't see race. So if that's 604 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 2: the case in those other Republican states, those red states, 605 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 2: then the Justice Department is going to be walking up 606 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 2: very tight rope between saying California bad, but North Carolina 607 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 2: good and Texas good. All right, you think your party 608 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 2: leader has everybody locked down, but what if the rebel 609 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: forces are inside his own camp. The Epstein file war 610 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: is blowing open cracks and the MAGA coalition that's next. 611 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 1: Chris Maryland KFI on Demand
