00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: and I was in the army before that, so I

46

Speaker 4: retired with twenty four years of service to the federal

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: government and nine years of service to the state of Florida. Okay,

49
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to speak on behalf of our audience

50
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: right now. There's not an audience in radio the respects

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: law enforcement and people in the armed services more than

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: the audience you're talking.

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 4: To it now, Thank you.

54
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 2: Yes, So lista, let's get into this. Were you first

55
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: of all? Where were you when you heard that the

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: United States went into Venezuela.

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: I was in bed asleep when the journalist called me

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: at one thirty in the morning, okay, asking me, was

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: I ready? Could I go and make some comments about

60
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: what was going on? That they weren't at this time,

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: at that very moment, they knew something was going on,

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: but they didn't know if it was a coup d'etat

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: or the Americans. I wasout half of sleep, and I said, oh, no,

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: that's the US take an ass Yeah.

65
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: And you know, and I guess from what I understand,

66
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty aircraft left from twenty two different bases.

67
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: Is that the right those the correct numbers.

68
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 4: That's what I understand. I'm sure they left from the

69
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: aircraft carrier. Those helicopters probably left from the Ewojima because

70
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: that's the closest area, you know, having to refuel for

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: a long flight. And then wherever all the other fats, growlers,

72
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: wherever the other aircraft came from, if they involved b ones,

73
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 4: I'm sure they came from their base. I think, Well,

74
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 4: I don't even know where that is, but it's a base,

75
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 4: the same base that they used to depart when they

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: bombed Iran. So I mean, yeah, I don't know specifically

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: how many aircrafts where they came from, but they certainly

78
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: the operation was impeccable.

79
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: Right and the minute how long?

80
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: How long is the planning stage for something like that

81
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: that we saw Saturday in Venezuela.

82
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I was in the Army, and I

83
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: was in Vietnam. I was in a helicopter or assault unit,

84
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: so you know all these things. Even then, once the

85
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: machinery is going, it takes planning, it takes preparation, takes practice.

86
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: But I'm sure that this took months to get it right.

87
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: I know from monitoring the news down here in Miami

88
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: that there were several flybys of aircraft, including B fifty

89
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: two's b one bombers, growlers, fats that entered territory just

90
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: doing for lack of better word, test flights and I

91
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: guess testing their radar system and trying to identify where

92
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 4: all the air to ground to air missiles were. So

93
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: it took time. It took time. It certainly took time

94
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: and practice, and they executed it perfectly. I mean perfectly.

95
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: I heard that a lot of that one percent of

96
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: the anti aircraft missiles and guns and radars in Venezuela

97
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: were supplied by the Russians, and the United States were

98
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: able to take all of them out within minutes.

99
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 4: It's cheap crack. It's cheap crack.

100
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: Right.

101
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: See listen, everything everything Venezuela works on this. I'm going

102
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 4: to buy something from you. It's a dollar, but I'm

103
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: willing to pay fifty dollars and we'll share in forty

104
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: nine dollars profit. Everything is of business with these with

105
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 4: these people. They bought all of that Russian crap for

106
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: eight billion dollars. Probably that stuff was worth two billion dollars,

107
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: and the rest of the six billion dollars they split it. Wow,

108
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: you know, nothing, nothing is beyond corruption, nothing is beyond

109
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: putting money in their pocket. They're involved in everything. They're

110
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: involved in smuggling gold. This the acting president has been

111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: identified through public media and investigations that she is a

112
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: huge corruptor. She moves tons metric tons of gold from

113
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 4: Venezuela through Spain and into Turkey where it's sold in

Speaker 4: was also assigned to Bogota, Columbia to our office there

159
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: for three years, and interim I went in a couple

160
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: of times to do some temporary duty in the Caracas office.

161
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 4: I was once there as an agent and then one

162
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 4: as the attach.

163
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: Hey, let me ask you something.

164
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: You had a wonderful career.

165
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: Did you ever see the the Netflix series Narcos?

166
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: Of course I know that I know Eve Murphy and.

167
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so on a scale of one to one hundred,

168
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: how accurate is that is?

169
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: That series?

170
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: It was very accurate that I thought this was always

171
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: at it was, you know, And of course they always

172
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 4: put the Hollywood spin and and they kept a lot

173
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: of it. Of the grotesque things that bob Leiscobar, did

174
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: you know, the killing and the maiming, and the torturing,

175
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: the bombing of planes, the bombings of businesses. I mean,

176
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: he was just relentless, pretty brutal, pretty brutal guy.

177
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: And let me ask you when I often heard from

178
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: other DEA agents and other law enforcement the reason why

179
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: you guys weren't targeted in South America because if they

180
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: were ever to hurt or kill a DEA agent, the

181
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: US hammer would come down on them like never before,

182
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: without a doubt.

183
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: I mean, they learned their lessons. Although listen, the narcotics

184
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: trafficker from Colombia is different than the ones from Mexico.

185
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: In my opinion, I think that the ones from Mexico

186
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: are more ruthless and bloodier. The ones in Colombia are also.

187
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 6: But.

188
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: There were more geared towards the Colombian government and each other.

189
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: The narcos from Mexico they just they're butchers. I mean,

190
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 4: they're awful, just awful group of people and they're just awful,

191
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 4: just a brutal, brutal organization, both of them.

192
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 3: All right, So what is.

193
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: The future for Venezuela now and on on, you know,

194
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: the DEA level. Do you think drugs will stop in

195
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: the near future or is this something that will continue?

196
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: Tim, I'm going to give you my honest opinion. After

197
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 4: being involved in this as a law enforcement officer, and

198
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 4: after I retired, I went to work for criminal defense

199
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 4: attorneys in the Miami area working with extra diiibles from Columbia.

200
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 4: So I got to sit on both sides, and I

201
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 4: gained a tremendous amount of knowledge that you can only

202
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: obtain when you sit on both sides. I think that

203
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 4: part of the problem has been one No previous administration

204
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: except this one ever dared to tackle the production side

205
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 4: of it as hard as this president has in his administration.

206
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 4: The other ones have always been all with law enforcement

207
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: law enforcement. But the problem with that tactic is that

208
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 4: anyone like me who has worked in Latin America knows

209
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: that there's a political element to this when you have

210
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 4: you have trafficking organizations like the Sinaloa and the FART,

211
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: the revolution Armed Forces of Columbia and the el N,

212
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: the National Liberation Army and the Narcos getting involved in

213
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 4: politics because the FARC is a political animal, the e

214
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 4: l N is a political animal, the Venezuelan government is

215
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: a political animal. Cuba was involved and probably still is,

216
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 4: but to a lesser degree. That Cuba was directly involved

217
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 4: in the transportation of drugs of the United States Nicaragua

218
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 4: under the President of Tega and the first term was

219
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 4: heavily involved, and that's been documented. The New York Times

220
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: published the photographs of unloading the plane that Barry Seal

221
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: was flying. They were loading it with kilos of cocaine

222
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: in an army base outside of Managua. You have Evo Morales,

223
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,119
Speaker 4: who was the leader until not too long ago of Bolivia.

224
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: He turned that into a narco state. You have Correa

225
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: who was the president of Ecuador, who opened that place

226
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: up to all of the trafficking organizations, including Eastern European

227
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 4: Drug Trafficking Organization. So when you have governm is getting

228
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: involved in the trafficking of drugs, then it's political. And

229
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: when they sub diffusion, the undercover reason that they're doing

230
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 4: it is to destroy the empire as they call it,

231
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: which is us from within. Right, that's political. And the

232
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: problem is that that all previous administrations in both parties

233
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: have just pooh poohed that or that attack upon the

234
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: United States, haven't really dealt with it because I don't know,

235
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: they didn't want to, they didn't care. There's so many

236
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: reasons that I don't know. But now this guy and

237
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 4: his people, President Trump of his people and said we're

238
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: not going to tolerate this anymore, and he warned them,

239
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: don't bring dope because we're going to kill you. And

240
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: look what happens. They still get in the boats and

241
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: try to bring the dope because dope is a huge

242
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: amount of money for them. The president, the previous president

243
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: of Mexico and Lopez o Valda said publicly and one

244
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: of his briefings that he gave every morning, or a

245
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,479
Speaker 4: statement that he get, he said that the narcotics trafficking

246
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: was the fifth largest employer in Mexico.

247
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: Wow, that's unbelievable. That's huge.

248
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: Right now, Jim shed is with us former Dea. Let

249
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: me ask you one quick question. I know you got

250
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: to run.

251
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 4: I want to ask you a question at the end.

252
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: Okay, But taking Venezuela and taking the president out, taking

253
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: Madora out out of Venezuela, does that put fear into

254
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: other countries that are doing the same thing.

255
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 4: Yes, it always does. That picture of Maludo being led

256
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: by a guy that I presume is Delta on his

257
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 4: right side or otherwise is you're looking at the picture

258
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: on the left side, and then if you look at

259
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: the guy on the right you can see the Dea emblem.

260
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: That picture is worth all the money in the world,

261
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 4: as far as sending a clear message to dopers throughout

262
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 4: the world that one DEA doesn't forget, and two we

263
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 4: don't forgive. We're going to come after you wherever, wherever

264
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 4: you are in a hello and it takes.

265
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: To get there. That is great. Are you got a

266
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: quick question for me?

00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 4: How was your father?

268
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: He was the best man in the world.

269
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: He was exactly the guy you saw on TV. He

270
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: never swore, he was home every night, just an outstanding

271
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: gentleman and a terrific dad to his six kids.

272
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 4: Wow, wonderful. I thought. I loved his work. He was

273
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: a great, great, great, great person.

00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,120

Speaker 2: I wanted to meet James Worthy. I watched him growing up.

315
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: have him on again as stories coming out of Venezuela.

316
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

317
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 5: Am sixty.

318
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: And everyone's back from vacation, and I don't think anyone's

319
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 2: planning on taking time off for a couple of months,

320
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: so just oh belly, oh.

321
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: Please, I'm thinking about it. God Almighty may grive Heaven

322
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 3: and Earth all it's seen and unseen. We believe them

323
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 3: one holy enough. I'm just praying that you don't take

324
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: a lot of time.

325
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 7: Did you have a nice vacation. Did you enjoy your

326
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 7: time away?

327
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: I did, thank you very much.

328
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: I went to Oregon for a week and then it

329
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: did not snow, but it rained every day was up there,

330
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: and then I came back and I spent a week

331
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: here with nothing to do, and that was one of

332
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 2: the great weeks of my life, having week off in

333
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: LA with nothing to do.

334
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: So what did you do?

335
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: Drank every night, smoked, you know, got up late. Everything

336
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: you're supposed to do on vacation tvg TV. Yeah, lots

337
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: of racetrack, although you know, Santa Anita if if there

338
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: is you know, if somebody drives by Santa Anita and spits,

339
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 2: they shut it down. If there's a one drop of

340
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: rain anywhere in the United States, they they don't race.

341
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: I was at Northfield Park in Ohio outside of Cleveland,

342
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: not bragging. I was at the Trotters in the Snow

343
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: in Cleveland in January, I think it was nineteen eighty

344
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: one or eighty two, and they had five feet of snow.

345
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: It was snowing like crazy and they were still running.

346
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: And that same year I was also at Thistledown which

347
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: is outside of Cleveland, Ohio, and they stopped racing. My

348
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: dad and I were there right near Randall Mall if

349
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: you're familiar with the area. And my dad and I

350
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: were there at the racetrack. It was raining when we

351
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: got there, and the weather got worse and it was windy,

352
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: and it was really nasty, and they stopped racing in

353
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: the sixth race because there was a tornado warning, not

354
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: a watch, a warning, it's on its way, and it

355
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: came through it and it didn't come close to us.

356
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: We could see it, but it was way in the distance,

357
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 2: and they stopped racing. And then when the tornado passed

358
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: and didn't affect the track, right back to racing. They

359
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: stopped racing for about twenty minutes because of a tornado.

360
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 2: Twenty minutes. But that's old school, that's before you know,

361
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: people were constantly going to the track and reporting on

362
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: the horse deaths and the craziness, which, you know, I

363
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 2: get it, but I don't like when they stop racing.

364
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: I enjoy the racetrack.

365
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: It's one of the few things in life that I

366
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: could spend all day doing by myself, and I don't

367
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: want them to take that from me.

368
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: Is it true your dad wanted to be a jockey,

369
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: that's right.

370
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he was too big, way too much, and

371
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: even the horse would look up at him.

372
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 3: Go see, so he tried it. Yeah, he did, he

373
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: should try. Hey, you wanted to be a jockey? How

374
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 3: tall was your dad? Five? He says, five? To nine.

375
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: I think it was closer to five six five five six, Now, yeah,

376
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't think I think he was.

377
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: I think it was five six. He struck me as

378
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: a little on the shorter side he was. But you

379
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: know what they say, you know, uh, short guys lucky

380
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 3: at cards, all right, So that's what he had going.

381
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: He couldn't pull off the door thing if he was

382
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 2: so tall, that's right, Yeah, impossible, impossible.

383
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 3: All right.

384
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: Let's get into everyone's complaining since the rain about potholes,

385
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: and they are huge like swimming pools here in law Sits.

386
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 8: Potholes are hard to see and sometimes impossible to avoid.

387
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 8: And that's what we saw here in the West Adams neighborhood.

388
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 6: As you mentioned, you can see that.

389
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 8: Damaging pothole here on Librea between West Haven and Jefferson,

390
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 8: a pothole that appears to have been patched up before

391
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 8: giving way to the rain and causing more damage.

392
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 6: To take a look.

393
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 8: After the latest Southern California storm, this stretch of road

394
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 8: turned into.

395
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 6: A nightmare for drivers.

396
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: And it's worse when you're going slow like Crow in bellioh.

397
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: You guys have quite the commute. So when you're on

398
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: the freeway, Crows, you're on the one, on the two,

399
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: ten and Bello on the five, and you're going eight

400
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: miles an hour. Those potholes are really you can really

401
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: feel them.

402
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go in them.

403
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you're going eighty you don't even feel them.

404
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 2: You know, you fly right over them. But man, when

405
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: you go in seven or eight miles an hour and

406
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: you hit it, you bang, but bang, you know, right

407
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: into these things. And they're huge, huge on the fire,

408
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: especially the five freeway.

409
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 8: It was around eight o'clock last night the massive pothole

410
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 8: reportedly formed and by eight point thirty at least fifteen

411
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 8: vehicles that are blown tires or bent wheels after hitting it.

412
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 8: LAPD officers moved into block lanes.

413
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: You know where they have really terrible pothole situation here now,

414
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: now put your you know, geography caps on here.

415
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: Kids.

416
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 2: It's Laurel Canyon westbound on ramp to the one oh one.

417
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: You're on Laurel Canyon and you're going north or westbound

418
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: on the one oh one. They can't solve that problem.

419
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: I went, I went by there yesterday and you know,

420
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: nearly the car nearly broken too. Westbound the entrance to

421
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: the north or westbound they called west I guess west

422
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: or northbound one oh one from from Laurel Canyon.

423
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: Horrible, just horrible, trying.

424
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 8: To prevent more damage before Cruise could cone it off. Well,

425
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 8: some drivers tell us they heard a pomp pulled over

426
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 8: and realized that multiple tires were gone while other cars

427
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 8: kept hitting the same spot.

428
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: And guess who's going to pay for that? The City

429
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: of La.

430
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 9: So I was just driving, you know, some sense to

431
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 9: the airport and we were this huge thumb twice and

432
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 9: then as soon as I heard that, the morning lights

433
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 9: of my car went off.

434
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 3: Oh that's the worst.

435
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: And you know, it's not only damaging the tire, but

436
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: it's also damaging the wheel. It's also damaging the car.

437
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: You know, you can do a significant amount of damage

438
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: to a car when you hit these potholes at you know,

439
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: thirty forty five miles an hour.

440
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: And but what you you got.

441
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: To do is you got to go after the City

442
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: of La if it's in La and try to get

443
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: them to pay for it. A lot of the times,

444
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: if you write them email after email, or you call them,

445
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: they'll just send you a check to so you stop

446
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: calling them. So don't give up if they say no

447
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 2: the first time, keep calling, keep emailing, and keep threatening,

448
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: threatening to you know, take legal action, and they'll send

449
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: you a check.

450
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 9: And both of my tires on the coroner side just

451
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 9: blew out completely.

452
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: How about that guys just driving around LA and both

453
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: of his tires are gone and his car shuts off

454
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: because the pothole was huge.

455
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 8: Then I just turned green, So I'm birdy driving yourself

456
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,160

Speaker 6: Payway and boom, I help. I'll felt it.

458
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 8: Drivers give report potholes through the my LA three one

459
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 8: one app.

460
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 3: There you go, all right, my LA three one one.

461
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 8: Through the my LA three one one app online or

462
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 8: by calling three one one. And to get reimbursed for

463
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 8: damage like this, you'll have to file a formal claim

464
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 8: either with the city, county, or state, depending on the road,

465
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 8: with photos, receipts, and detailed descriptions. Though we should mentioned

466
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 8: reimbursements not guaranteed and claims are often denied.

467
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: They're often denied.

468
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: But keep after them, keep after them, you know, three,

469
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,960

Speaker 6: Well back on your lives.

471
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 8: City officials say since the holiday storms began. More than

472
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 8: three hundred potholes have been repaired and after days of rain.

473
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 8: This is an issue that's playing out across southern California.

474
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 6: For now, Live West Adam's Amaro Ramirez.

475
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, there's a lawsuit that McDonald's

476
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: is involved with. It involves the McRib, one of my

477
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: favorite sandwiches in the world.

478
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

479
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

480
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 3: I remember where I was.

481
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: I don't remember what year it was, but my dad

482
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: was living on Pascal and Ventur at the time, and

483
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 2: I walked from his house down to McDonald's and I

484
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: saw this new thing on the menu. I must have

485
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: been thirteen, twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old, and I saw

486
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: this new thing on the menu called the McRib and

487
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 2: I like ribs and I like McDonald's and I bought one.

488
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: And I can remember exactly where I was sitting. But

489
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: I hate that sandwich. I thought I had gone to heaven.

490
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: The McRib was my favorite sandwich.

491
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: Do you like it?

492
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: Step incredible, the sauce, the little pickle on it, a

493
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: little bit of onions in there. Oh my god, oh, oh,

494
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: the best one. Wait, Angel, I'm hearing things. You've never

495
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: had a McRib.

496
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 10: I have never had one. I've never ordered one. I've

497
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 10: never wanted to take a bite of one.

498
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: I've never never been curious.

499
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 10: No, I'd rather just have a real rib if I

500
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 10: wanted anything to do with the rib curious.

501
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Crozy, you probably have one on you.

502
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: It's been a minute, but I have had them yet.

503
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 3: Oh they're the best. Angel. What do you eat at McDonald's.

504
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 10: A filet of fish?

505
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: Oh?

506
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: Okay, there's one wing currently not in stuff they're not

507
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: I would not noish. Yeah, I went to go get

508
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: some chicken nuggets because duh. And right there on the

509
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: menu on the filet of fish is currently not available,

510
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what's that about? Wow, that must be

511
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: what it is. Did you ask them what what is

512
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: that about?

513
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 10: No?

514
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 3: I didn't scared.

515
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 10: They're so good they probably sold out.

516
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: They're fluffy, right, nice fluffy fish. Did you taste fish

517
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 3: at all?

518
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 10: No? No, they're too fried to taste fishy. They just

519
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 10: fry the hell out of it and it's all crunchy

520
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 10: on the little fish peas on the sandwich.

521
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: It's tasty. I've never had a fish filet.

522
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: But I love fish and chips, and when I eat

523
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: fish and chips, I feel like I'm eating healthy me too,

524
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: even though we're not, And I feel like that's like

525
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: my health, you know, meal for the day. But McRib lawsuit?

526
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 2: What's going on with McDonald's. The best sandwich in the

527
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: world is the McRib?

528
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 11: A lawsuit is leaving McDonald's in a pretty sticky situation.

529
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 11: A class action lawsuit accuses the company of misleading customers

530
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 11: into believing that the McRib contains actual pork rib meat.

531
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: It does, next case. I'd like to be the judge.

532
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: It does next.

533
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 11: Although the meat is shaped like a slab of ribs,

534
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 11: the patty is boneless. The lawsuit, which was filed in Illinois.

535
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: Oh, so they want the bone in there, They want

536
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: the actual rib.

537
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: Is that what the lawsuit's about.

538
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 11: Although the meat is shaped like a slab of ribs,

539
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 11: the patty is boneless.

540
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so what I mean?

541
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: That's for your protection, so you'll get a bone stuck

542
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: in your throat.

543
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 11: The lawsuit, which was filed in Illinois, says it is

544
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 11: not right for the meat patty to resemble a cooked

545
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 11: rack of pork ribs when there's no meaningful amount of

546
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 11: premium cut pork there at all.

547
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: That's not true. It is all premium meat.

548
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: And then there'll be another lawsuit if there's a bone

549
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: in there and someone gets the fright in their throat.

550
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's like they can't win.

551
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 10: I know.

552
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 7: So McDonald says.

553
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 11: It does use boneless pork, water, salt, dextros and rosemary extract.

554
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: Ooh, I think the dextros is what makes it's so good.

555
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: So good. Yeah, full of dextros.

556
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 11: Pork, water, salt, dextros and rosemary extract. You can still

557
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 11: buy a McRib in Saint Louis, by the way, for

558
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 11: a limited time.

559
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: Ah, there will be a riot if they stop those,

560
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: I guarantee, yeah, you and I will lead it.

561
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah too. All right, we'll keep up on that,

562
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: you know. I don't know where that's going.

563
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: But speaking of new laws, I think we have eight

564
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: hundred new laws in California. We already had a billion.

565
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: Let's find out what the new annoying ones are going

566
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: to be.

567
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 12: There are hundreds of new laws that will be taking

568
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 12: effect today. In addition to the plastic bag band at

569
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 12: grocery stores, minimum wage is gone up by forty cents

570
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 12: the rideshair drivers are now allowed to unionize, and some

571
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 12: high school students will get guaranteed.

572
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 7: College admission to some state schools. Californians are in store

573
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,800

00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 7: One of the most notable guaranteed college admission to one

575

Speaker 3: Doesn't matter how smart or stupid you are. You get in.

578
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 7: Who maintain a minimum two point five gpa in.

579
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: Two point five in high school? You can do that

580
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: in your sleep. I did it. We had two point five,

581
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: knocked it out.

582
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 7: Who maintain a minimum two point five gpa in college

583
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: prep courses?

584
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: Got two point five and you got it. Now you're

585
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: in UCLA.

586
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 13: M I don't know as that will be awesome? What

587
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 13: as as that will be awesome?

588
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: Sit next to this guy at UCLA?

589
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 14: Awesome, that will be awesome.

590
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 3: There you go.

591
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 7: Lawmakers say the idea is to make the transition from

592
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 7: high school to college more seamless.

593
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 6: Like or is it going to overcrowd like any sort

594
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 6: of cal state.

595
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly what it's going to do.

596
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: It's gonna it's going to overcrowd the universities, because when

597
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 2: you let everybody in, then you're gonna have a lot

598
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: more students.

599
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

600
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 2: I think you know, college is for you know, kids

601
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: that want to pursue a career, not for everybody. I mean,

602
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: if you know, if you lower to two point five,

603
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: that's probably eighty five percent of high school students.

604
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 14: Awesome, that will be awesome.

605
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 6: I don't know. I feel like it has the pros

606
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 6: and cons.

607
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 7: Admission is not guaranteed at the six most crowded campuses.

608
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 6: Awesome.

609
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 14: That will be awesome.

610
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be awesome, would not You're not getting into

611
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: into the good schools.

Speaker 7: Including Fullerton, Long Beach and Pomona.

613
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 6: Awesome.

614
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, that will be awesome.

615
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 15: Would be.

616
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 7: And some majors may require students to earn higher grades.

617
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 14: Awesome. That would be awesome.

618
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 6: It wouldn't be and.

619
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 7: Take tougher courses for admission.

620
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean that in that case, I don't

Speaker 14: That will be awesome.

624
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 7: I don't know, and take tougher courses for admission.

625
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I mean that in that case, then like, yeah,

626
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 6: more education the better, right.

627
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so, is that right?

628
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 14: That will be awesome?

629
