And that's a hard song to sing. 59 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: Can I tell you that? Back when I was in 60 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: probably right out of high school, and I was in 61 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: a band and I was playing music and stuff like that. 62 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: My girlfriend at the time, she was also a singer 63 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: and she was in a band. We would like play 64 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: in shows together. We would open for her band, they 65 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: would open for us. 66 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 5: You know. 67 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 4: It was a nice little deal. 68 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: And so we somehow got hooked up in this whole 69 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 2: community thing in Indianapolis where at the Wrath Skellar is 70 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: what it's called. It's like an old German bar in Indianapolis, 71 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: this big Old Anthony. I mean it's a huge, huge, huge, 72 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 2: huge place. They've got a theater, they've got a little 73 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: bar in the basement, and they do this Christmas show. 74 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: And they had this girl and I, my ex girlfriend 75 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: and I. They wanted us to do a duet. They 76 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 2: thought that that was real cute, and of course I said, yes, 77 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: did I want to do this? No, But when your 78 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: girlfriend says you're going to do something, you just do it. 79 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: And so she was like, let's sing a song, and 80 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: she kept going through songs and we ended up going 81 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: with that one with Oh Holy Knight. And I was 82 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: always like a rock band singer. My range was about 83 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: what Tom Petty was, which is about four or five notes, 84 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: not a lot. 85 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 4: And so she chose this song. 86 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: She was a real singer, like singer capital s you 87 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like did thea da da da 88 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: da da da da every like you know, it was obnoxious. 89 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: She was a very good singer. I had perfect pitch. 90 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: So she did this song. 91 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: And then because she was so I don't know, you 92 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: could say a diva. Perhaps she doesn't listen. 93 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 4: I don't care. She doesn't live anywhere near here. If 94 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 4: you're done with her, if it all hang out, she 95 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: wouldn't listen. You didn't care. 96 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: But she was a bit of a diva, and so 97 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: you know where we would do this song was the 98 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: key that she wanted to do the song, which was 99 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: way higher than a key that I could handle in 100 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: my very small range. So anyway, we were rehearsing and rehearsing, 101 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: and eventually came time to do the show in front 102 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: of like two thousand people at this large theater in Indianapolis, 103 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: and she is singing and she comes out and it's 104 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: already She starts at high right because that's where she 105 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: wanted to sing it, and she is that's the rule. 106 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: When she makes the decision, that's what you do. So 107 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: I come out too, and she's like, moved it up 108 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: a couple keys. I don't know this. She starts singing. 109 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: Then the time that I come in, I'm already like 110 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: four octaves outside of what I can do, So I'm. 111 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: Like, fall on your knees. 112 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: And she sounded amazing, and I sounded like I was 113 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 2: just entering puberty, because I was also. 114 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 4: Just entering puberty. 115 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 3: Is there a recording of this? 116 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 2: I'm sure there is, and I would I will not 117 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: find it.

I 189 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 4: think if you need a last minute little little hookup. 190 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: You can still go to Amazon generally and get get 191 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: a next day to all the way up at least 192 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: until I believe the end of the weekend. It's going 193 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: to be a little bit of a nightmare. You probably 194 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: would expect because not only are one hundred and twenty 195 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: three million people going to be traveling this year for 196 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 2: the holidays, many of them in cars. Of course, it 197 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: also is going to rain here in southern California, potentially 198 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: record setting rain, would you believe it. There's uncertainty about 199 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: when and how long it's going to last, but they're 200 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 2: looking at between two and four inches of rain across 201 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: metro areas of LA starting Tuesday night through Christmas. If 202 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: you're in the mountains or the foothills, expect double that. 203 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: The last time Downtown LA saw more than two inches 204 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 2: of rain on Christmas Eve was nineteen seventy one, and 205 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: the time it saw more than two inches on Christmas 206 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: Day was nineteen forty six. Obviously we remember those very well. 207 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: Orange Riverside, San Bernina County going to look at between 208 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: one to three inches of rain, and you also might 209 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: have record setting rain there for much of the week. 210 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: Crazy crazy, crazy, Also as far as travel goes, best 211 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: times to drive basically, if you're driving on the weekends 212 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: like this weekend, the best times to go are going 213 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: to be Christmas even Christmas Day obviously, but you probably 214 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 2: got to go before you go right before those days. 215 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: Saturday after nine pm, Sunday before eleven Monday, and Tuesday 216 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: before ten am. Anytime after one pm Saturday, Sunday, Monday 217 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: or Tuesday, it's going to be bad. Friday and Saturday, 218 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: anytime after eleven am, it's going to be bad. And 219 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I went out to the desert 220 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: over Thanksgiving. We left the day after Thanksgiving and it 221 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: took us three almost four, four and a half hours 222 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: to door. 223 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 4: That's crazy. That's crazy even for us. So we don't 224 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 4: want any of that. 225 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: And possibly now we have something in the running for 226 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: worst Christmas song of all time. This is our Cities 227 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: Christmas song. Ol City was a pretty fun band that 228 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: had some uh, I guess, synth pop hits back in 229 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: the early aughts maybe late aughts, early teens. There was 230 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: that Firefly song, which if you were certain of a 231 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: person of a certain age. 232 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 4: Like me, you probably remember that. 233 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: Tell me if you can, I'm gonna play this as 234 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 2: long as I can play it before I have to 235 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: stop it. 236 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 5: Down, down it spread and good cheer handing gloves out 237 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 5: when we volunteer for the chilldren bringing from ear to 238 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 5: ear singing Christmas time here? 239 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 3: Is it really any worse than that Wham song? Honestly, 240 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 3: that has aged so well you think, yes, I was 241 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 3: with you, brother, but something happened. I don't know if 242 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 3: it was a sense of me getting older or the 243 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 3: time just changed, but I think that that song kind 244 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 3: of slaps now. 245 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 4: Slaps's wrong with you? 246 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 6: Mark Grandma hit it. 247 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: It sounds like he wanted a like he was trying 248 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: to do a like a pit bowll thing on there. 249 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so world Wi you know that's what everybody 250 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: wants at Christmas, is mister worldwide. I'm just amazed that 251 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: this is Like, it's so I understand. Christmas songs are 252 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: hard to write because they're gonna be played a billion times, 253 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 2: so they're gonna be played out. 254 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 4: That's just how it works. 255 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 2: I swear if I hear another baby Santa Santa Baby, 256 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: excuse me. My friends and I have a joke call 257 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: it we all Baby Santa. Completely different song, very different experience. 258 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 2: But if if you hear that song starting in November, right, 259 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: I mean, by the time you get to last week 260 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: of December, which is where we're at, you're like, Okay, 261 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: I get it, we've heard it. We've heard these songs 262 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 2: enough times. But all the new songs, they just they 263 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: don't hit man. The remarkable thing that both Wham and 264 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: more importantly, I guess Mariah Carey did with writing songs 265 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 2: that became Christmas classics in this era. Who comes close? 266 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 2: Arianna Grande Santa tell Me Right isn't the one she does. 267 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: It's probably the closest, the Kelly Kelly Kelly Clarkson one, 268 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: which is basically just like full throated screaming, that's all. 269 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: It's also up there, but I wouldn't say that they're 270 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: classics yet. So I understand it's hard to write a 271 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: Christmas song. I think that the guy who puts these 272 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: songs together, this ol City guy, seems like a nice dude. 273 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: But I do think that that's up there with new songs. 274 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 2: Christmas Shoes, which I've played on this show before. If 275 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: you listen and you're lucky, maybe you'll hear it again tonight, 276 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: and Dominic the Christmas Donkey, which I think maybe was 277 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 2: a cringey song and now is kind of a wonderful song. 278 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: All right, coming up, we are going to talk about 279 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:31,359 Speaker 2: the how about this for fun? The Epstein docs they're out, maybe. 280 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: Well some of them are. 281 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: I had Today was a wild day in news because 282 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: for most of the day the conversation was we're not 283 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: going to get anything. The deadline, of course, was today 284 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 2: that Congress established to release the Epstein files. They did 285 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: not come out until late in the afternoon on the 286 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: East coast. When they did come out at around n 287 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 2: I think one or two o'clock today, everybody in the 288 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: newsroom went crazy. They all downloaded everything, sent it into 289 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: each other. Did you see this? Did you see that? 290 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: A lot was not there? But what was there is 291 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: pretty interesting. I will get into that when I see 292 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: you on the other side of the break. 293 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 294 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: Like I was telling you, today is a pretty interesting 295 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: day because there was a lot of anticipation here for 296 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: the latest round of Epstein files. They were supposed to 297 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: be released today, all of them. That was a deadline 298 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: that was set by Congress. We didn't get all of them. Instead, 299 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: three hundred thousand documents from the federal investigation into convicted 300 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and also his ring of influence. 301 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 2: The DOJ said it needed more time to go through 302 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: them to make sure that they redacted the victims' names, details, 303 00:15:54,760 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: and photos. So there were a lot of reactions. Here's 304 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche earlier. 305 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 7: The most important thing that the Attorney General has talked about, 306 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 7: that Director Patel has talked about is that we protect victims. 307 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 7: And so what we're doing is we are looking at 308 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 7: every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, 309 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 7: making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their 310 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 7: story to the extend it needs to be protected, is 311 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 7: completely protected. 312 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: He said that there are more than twelve hundred victims 313 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: who have been identified, and as part of that restricting 314 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: the identity and redacting, there are a lot of pages 315 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: that are just blank. In one batch of one hundred 316 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: documents released, all one hundred are blacked out. In another, 317 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: fifty three out of sixty one images in a role 318 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: of film are entirely or mostly blacked out. Democrats say 319 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: it's a violation of the law that the presidents signed 320 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: to release all these documents, and they're considering what kind 321 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: of actions they can take against the administration. But what 322 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: is there is a whole lot of Epstein, a whole 323 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: lot of his confident Guilley Maxwell on trips meeting famous people, 324 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: Lots of photos of them on private jets in New York, 325 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: at his ranch in New Mexico. Images from what we 326 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: know as Epstein's Island, which is Little Saint James, just 327 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 2: off the coast of Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands. 328 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: Pictures from the fifty million dollars in New York City 329 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: mansion that he had taken from the FBI raid. The 330 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 2: house is intricate, it's over the top, it's clausterphobic at times. 331 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: There is unsettling art on the walls, nudes, a few 332 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: of which were painted by an accuser. There's a high 333 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: resolution image of a painting of President Bill Clinton sitting 334 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 2: on a chair in the Oval Office, except he has 335 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 2: a woman's body. He's wearing a blue dress, a reference, 336 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 2: of course, to the Monica Luency Monica Lewinsky sex scandal. 337 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: Photos of sex paraphernalia, massage rooms, photos, so many pictures 338 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: of Epstein with famous people, but also images of victims, 339 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 2: hard drives, scrapbooks, CDs of images of pornographic images that 340 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: have been redacted. The images are uncomposed front flash, pure documentation. 341 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: It's a moment frozen in time. The house is a mess, 342 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: like people were just there and then all of a 343 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: sudden left. And it's weird because it's normally the only 344 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: time you see a house that ostentatious or extravagant is 345 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: when it's perfectly photographed for a magazine. 346 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 4: It's obviously, of. 347 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 2: Course, way creepier because of what you know about what 348 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: happened there. Images of a massage room where victims say 349 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: that they were sexually assaulted, a sign on a door 350 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: down a narrow hallway which says under twenty four hour 351 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: hour surveillance, and indeed photos of a room with a 352 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: bunch of monitors that it could appear to be a 353 00:18:54,560 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: security desk of some sort. Interestingly, many photos released today 354 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 2: of Epstein with famous people Richard Branson, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, 355 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: Chris Tucker, Kevin Spacey, Mick Jagger, Walter Cronkite, even but 356 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 2: of course contextually that doesn't tell us a lot. It doesn't, 357 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: of course mean that they were involved in anything illegal. 358 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: Former President Bill Clinton is all over this release of 359 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: documents photos of the former president on trips with Epstein. 360 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: He is seen on Epstein's private jet to seven twenty 361 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: seven that they called the Lolita Express. The president has 362 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: what appears to be a young woman on his lap. 363 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: Her face is blacked out, presumably she's a miner or 364 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: a victim. In another photo, he's shirtless, leaning back in water, 365 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: swimming in a pool, his arms above his head, looking 366 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: up another faceless woman just behind him. In another photo, 367 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: he's swimming in a pool next to Glene Maxwell and 368 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 2: a woman in a bikini with his face obscurity. Now, 369 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 2: for what it's worth, the president President Clinton was never 370 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 2: accused of any crimes. Repeatedly, he said he spent a 371 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 2: very limited amount of time with Jeffrey Epstein. A spokesperson 372 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: for the former president says they can release as many grainy, 373 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: twenty year old photos as they want, but it isn't 374 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 2: about Bill Clinton, saying there's two types of people here. 375 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before 376 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,959 Speaker 2: his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships 377 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 2: after that. We are in the first no amount of 378 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: stalling by people in the second group will change that. 379 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 4: Now, whether or not you. 380 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 2: Like the people in these pictures, and we've seen pictures 381 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: of obviously the current president as well with Jeffrey Epstein, 382 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 2: it is important to say just because people are in 383 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: these photos, any people, it doesn't mean that they did 384 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 2: anything wrong. It could mean that they did something wrong. 385 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: It is true. I guess we don't know the context. 386 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 2: You know, famous people pop in for photo ops for 387 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: things all the time, and then they leave the photo 388 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: with President Clinton, Diana Ross and Michael Jackson shows their 389 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 2: own kids, Diana Ross's Evan Ross and Paris and Prince 390 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 2: Jackson with their faces redacted because they are minors, and 391 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: it certainly looks like they are victims, and that is 392 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 2: what a lot of people on the internet said. But 393 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: then of course if you do a little more digging, 394 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 2: you realize know that that's not that's not what those 395 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 2: kids are not blacked out because we know them to 396 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: be victims at least. I'm looking through the photos and 397 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: I think about the circle of trust, like the people 398 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 2: close to Epstein and the people who went to him 399 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: for money, for influence, for power or whatever, And I 400 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: think about that circle of friends, and I think about 401 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: my own friends. I know what stuff they're up to. 402 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: Anybody I'm hanging out with, traveling with people I see 403 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 2: over and over again who are in my friend group, 404 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: I know, you know what you boys are doing, you 405 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: know what they get up to. And the reason I 406 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: know this is because men, especially egomaniacal men, who are 407 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 2: at the top of their game, richest in the world, 408 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: most powerful in the world, they love that they brag 409 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 2: about that. Lolita is the French book that inspired a 410 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 2: generation of weirdos to fantasize, romanticize the exploitation of young women. 411 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: Photos from a past Epstein release show a young woman 412 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: with Lolita's opening lines written on her skin in black ink. 413 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: Epstein was said to have only that that was the 414 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 2: only book he had on his bedside table. The thought 415 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 2: that FBI knew about accusations that Jeffrey Epstein was assaulting 416 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 2: young women, underage women as early as the nineteen nineties, 417 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: And it's hard to think, with all this being such 418 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: an open secret that nobody knew. For what it is worth, 419 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: President Trump is not in any of the photos that 420 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: have been released to And I think, if you're going 421 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: to take a bunch of images and say this proves 422 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: this person was involved or this person wasn't. Just what 423 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 2: the Internet is doing because they were here in this 424 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: photo or weren't in this photo. You have to say 425 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: the same for everybody. You just can't know what's really 426 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: going on. I'll end with this the big takeaway, beyond 427 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: the point taking the political element of this at the core, 428 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: there are victims here. They were sucked up into a 429 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 2: machine they could never fight and probably struggle to even comprehend. 430 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: Private jets with celebrities, safaris with billionaires, hot tubs with 431 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: the world's most powerful people. None of that makes up 432 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 2: for what was taken from them and for us. The idea, 433 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: for you and me, the idea that something like Eyes 434 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: Wide Shut exists, not as a hollywould make believe story, 435 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: but in real life, at least in some way, that 436 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: a ruling class of uber powerful elites, the global ultra rich, politics, media, 437 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: money and influence, men who order young women like we 438 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: order uber eats the fact that that exists, at least 439 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: in some way. Is it possible the DJ released only 440 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 2: photos that made enemies of the current administration look bad? 441 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: Did they hide their own things? Anything is possible. It's 442 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 2: hard to know beyond the politics, though. It was a 443 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 2: sick enterprise and one that because of politics, we will 444 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: only probably ever know so much of what really happened. 445 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 446 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 2: I think we got a viewer a viewer note a 447 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 2: couple of days on KTLA where someone sent us an 448 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 2: email sets stop calling it formerly known as Twitter. It 449 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 2: happened four years ago. 450 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 4: It's fair. 451 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 2: We get lot of nice notes. Generally nice notes directly 452 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: mean notes to the station. Somebody recently emailed and like 453 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: what I love is like when we make a legitimate typo, 454 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 2: because here's the deal, and I won't I won't speak 455 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: for KFI dot com because I don't. I've not worked 456 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 2: on the on the website part of KFI AM six forty, 457 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 2: but ktla dot com has got a lot of stories 458 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 2: that we post every day. There's a lot of people 459 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: working on those stories, but they're working quick, and so 460 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 2: sometimes every once in a while there is a typo. 461 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 2: You'll do an EI for a receipt and you don't 462 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 2: catch it, or an I I E. You actually spell receipt. 463 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: I don't know, but we will get the meanest responses 464 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 2: of like, oh well, maybe if you had not gone 465 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: to LAUSD then you would know how to Actually, maybe 466 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 2: you've gone to a real school as opposed to journalism school, 467 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 2: you would know how to spell receipt. And it's always 468 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: so personal, it's so mean. Anyway, this is kind of exciting, 469 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: just in time for the holidays. A home alone house, right, 470 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 2: the house was actually in Chicago, but someone has decided 471 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 2: to put eight million dollars into building a home alone 472 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: house in Utah, of all places. 473 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 8: A homebuilder is bringing his favorite childhood movie into reality. 474 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: He spent seven million dollars to build a replica of 475 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: the iconic Did I say eight million? 476 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 4: I said eight million? He said seven million. 477 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: Okay, he spent seven million dollars to build a replica 478 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: of the icon. 479 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 4: Once you get over six, I don't really know. 480 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 2: I mean, who's on a house from the beloved Christmas 481 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 2: movie Home Alone? Fox's Chris Reid has more. 482 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 4: This scene might seem familiar to you. 483 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 8: Two bandits arrived in this van with the intent to 484 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 8: try to rob a child in this home who was 485 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 8: left home alone. But this is in Chicago, and it 486 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 8: is Chris.
