1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio. 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: App KFI AM six forty. 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: It is The Conway Show, and we start today with 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: one of the better reporters from CBS, and has A 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: has a a long career, really gets down to the 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: bottom of things and keeps a lot of people honest 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: around here and probably takes a lot of flag forward, 9 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, and when you when you question power, power 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: usually turns up and gives you the medtle finger. But 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: she's a very brave woman and she is with us. 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 1: Christine Lazar, how are you? 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: I'm great, Thank you for that introduction. 14 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: But it's true, right, I mean, you know, when when 15 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: you go downtown to city Hall and and you you 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: look and you sniff around for corruption or you know, 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: people you know abusing other people, they get hot, they 18 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: get pissed. 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 3: They do. And it's very important that we keep people accountable, 20 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 3: especially big businesses, because he as the consumers, deserve to 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: have that protection. 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 1: That's right. What is the one story you're most proud 23 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: of with big business? Who have you nailed? 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 3: Oh? Gosh, quite a few. I mean, if we want 25 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 3: to talk about the one I'm working on now, then 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: that has to do with Uber. But I would say 27 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: going back, probably one of my greatest accomplishments would be 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 3: during COVID and we essentially uncovered the unemployment fraud that 29 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: was rampant throughout the state and really throughout the country, 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: and that started a huge investigation and ultimately lawmakers got 31 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: involved and I helped get a lot of people their 32 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: money back. So that was a big accomplishment of mine. 33 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: But now we're talking about fraud at Uber, which is 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 3: a huge safety risk for those who use rideshare. 35 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: Okay, before we get into that, let me go back again, 36 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: because you deserve a lot of kudos and an adegirl 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: for this. The corruption with the unemployment reached I think 38 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: a total of thirty billion dollars, and I don't think 39 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: anyone got suspended or anyone got fired from government. 40 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 3: No. I mean, ultimately, there was a lot of your 41 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: pointing and a lot of well, we're trying to get 42 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 3: the money out as quickly as possible, and so it's 43 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: hard to have a lot of safeguards when you're just 44 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 3: trying to get people their money, which obviously you know 45 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: it needed to move quickly. But the system just collapsed. 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 3: They did not have the safeguards that it needed. And 47 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 3: you know, at first we thought it was something rather minor, 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 3: you know, a couple people getting a bunch of edd 49 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: envelopes in the mail, and like personally, as it usually happens, 50 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 3: you start peeling back the onion and more and more 51 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: people come forward, and then we realize that it's a 52 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 3: widespread and systemic issue that was causing so much chaos 53 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: at a time that was already very chaotic. 54 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: Right, But thirty billion dollars seems like a very high bar. 55 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: If like if I cost KFI or a iHeartMedia, if 56 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: I did something stupid and I cost this company, I 57 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: don't know, twelve grand, I think they would fire me 58 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: over that. 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: I think that is an accurate assessment. 60 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: Yes, and you too, I mean, if you cost CBS 61 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: thirty grand to be like, what's going on with this lady? 62 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean I think if I cost them thirty dollars, 63 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 3: they'd be mad at me if I was doing something 64 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 3: that's not ethical. So you know, ultimately, that's what we're 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: here for. And you know, that's why local media matters, 66 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: and that's why I investigative journalism matters. 67 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Okay, one more thing before we get into uber. Since 68 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: you deal with big business, can you do me a solid? 69 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: Can you somehow figure out either posting signs or getting 70 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: a petition going? The people who go to Costco and 71 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: they get their pizza slice and they sit in their 72 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: car and eat it, and then I want to choke 73 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: them to death. You're supposed to get in your car 74 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: and get the hell out of that parking lot. 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 3: Very true. The other thing that gets me is you're 76 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 3: supposed to use a little kiosk with your credit card 77 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: and then you go up and you wait in a line, 78 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: right dude. But the cash pay people can stand in line, 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: and then they hold up the line for everybody else. 80 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: So I'd also encourage people to use Apple pay or 81 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: their credit cards so we don't have to wait for 82 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 3: the cash payers when all I want is a chicken bake. 83 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: Right. 84 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: And also, you can order a whole pizza before. You 85 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: don't have to order it right there. It's not a 86 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: last minute decision. You can order it inside, phone it in, 87 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: and I'll be ready for you when you get outside. 88 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: There are some hacks to Costco. We've got to drill 89 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: into people's heads. 90 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: That is very true, but I don't know that we'll 91 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: be able to get him out of the parking lot anytime. 92 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: Dare I thank You're right? All right? 93 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: Christina Lazars with us from CBS investigative reporter. 94 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: Did you take over for Goldstein? 95 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: No, David and I worked alongside one another. I focus 96 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 3: more on consumer So David retired, but I was working 97 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: alongside him before he retired, so I didn't take his job. 98 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: We just kind of complimented one another. 99 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: But once he's gone, the yelling and the craziness was over. 100 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 4: Right. 101 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 3: Oh no, I still yell. I'm still a little clo. 102 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 2: Oh no, I met him. 103 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's enjoying retirement. He looks like a very happy, 104 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: happy individual. 105 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a cool guy. He's a great guy. 106 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: I remember we had him on almost every week or 107 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: every couple of weeks doing his stories, and he busted 108 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, miss d Oh my god, 109 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about this. What are you here 110 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: to discuss the uber driver accounts? What's going on? 111 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 3: So this story was born out of a viewer email. 112 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: I do read people's emails, and now all it takes 113 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: is one and someone wrote to us and said, hey, 114 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 3: I got a ten ninety nine tax farm in the 115 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 3: mail addressed to me with my name, with my information 116 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 3: saying that I earned seven thousand dollars driving for Uber 117 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: for two months and I've never been a rideshare driver. 118 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 3: And they actually got a welcome packet a couple months prior, 119 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: and they were like, what is this? We're not driving 120 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: for Uber. They contacted Uber, which of course is not easy. 121 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: You can't get someone on the phone, you have to 122 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 3: go through the app. You're talking to a bot it first, 123 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: and they were sure that Uber was going to look 124 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: into it, presumably shut down the account. That did not happen, 125 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 3: and that driver went on to earn again about seven 126 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 3: thousand dollars or two month periods. So what that means 127 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 3: is someone stole this person's identity in order to drive 128 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: for Uber. Why would they do that, well, presumably because 129 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: they couldn't get through the background check on their own. 130 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: Why would that be Maybe they have a criminal record, 131 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: maybe they don't have a driver's license, maybe they have 132 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 3: a really bad driving record, But it wouldn't be someone 133 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: I'd want to get in the car with as a woman, 134 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 3: or really as anyone. Sure, when you have someone who 135 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: is not who theya they are. So we then kind 136 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: of dug into it and tried to figure out how 137 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: one would do this, And unfortunately, most of us have 138 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: a lot of data out there, not just on our 139 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: Facebook and things that we put out there on our own, 140 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: but through data breaches, and so these thieves will be 141 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: able to scrape the Internet, not even the dark Web, 142 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 3: just the Internet. Perhaps they have to buy it, or 143 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 3: maybe they find it, they get someone's identity. AI has 144 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: made it even more easy for you to essentially be 145 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: whoever you want to be. And because no one's ever 146 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: meeting face to face, because all of the background checks, 147 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: all of the things that you do to become a 148 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: ride share driver are done online and not in person, 149 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: these people are able to assume an identity and drive 150 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 3: people around making thousands of dollars, and the person in 151 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 3: the car has no idea, They don't know that the 152 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 3: person driving them is not who they say they are, right. 153 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: And then at the end, and then at the end, 154 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: the person who had their social Security number used now 155 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: has to deal with the IRS for six months to 156 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: a year to. 157 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: Straighten that out, exactly because the IRS wants money on 158 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: those wages. Even if that person didn't actually do the work, 159 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: and we reached out to Uber and essentially said, hey, 160 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 3: this is a problem, what's going on? And Uber was 161 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 3: pretty evasive with us. They essentially said, every big company 162 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 3: is experiencing employment fraud. Okay, fair enough, but not every 163 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: big company is driving people around on the four or 164 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: five freeway. 165 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: That's right. 166 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: And after that story aired, as often happened similar to 167 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: the unemployment fraud I spoke about, we got so many 168 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: emails from people saying the same thing happened to me. 169 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: I can't get a hold of Uber. I got this 170 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,119 Speaker 3: tax form it says I drove for you know, several 171 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: months and meet thousands of dollars. Not just here in 172 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: the alley area. We heard from people in Arizona. We 173 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: heard from people in Michigan. One woman in a tiny 174 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: town that says we don't even have Uber here and 175 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 3: how I got a ten ninety nine form saying that 176 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: I drove for Uber. So at that point we realized 177 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: that this was a more widespread problem than we initially thought, 178 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: and we circled back with Uber and said, hey, can 179 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 3: we do an interview? Can we talk about what you're 180 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: doing to combat this? And they would not give us 181 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: an interview, and again they would not answer our question 182 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: as to how do I know that when I get 183 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: into one of your vehicles that the person behind the 184 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: wheel is who they say they are. We also managed 185 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: to dig up some court filings. There's a class action 186 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: lawsuit against Uber filed on behalf of a man out 187 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: of Bakersfield who also got a ten ninety nine form, 188 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 3: who also never drove for Uber. And we talked to 189 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: the attorney there and he says, since January he has 190 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 3: heard from hundreds of people who are getting these ten 191 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: ninety nine saying they worked for Uber. The only thing, 192 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 3: the only thing, he says, there's a big problem, right. 193 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: The only silver lining on that is that the IRS 194 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: is going to be very busy with those guys and 195 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: may not sniff around my returns this year. 196 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: Well, that is a silver lining today. And you have 197 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: two victims there. You have the victim who gets the 198 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: ten ninety nine and had their identity stolen, and then 199 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: you have all the victims who got in the car 200 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 3: with a person who, in theory, could be a dangerous 201 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 3: criminal driving you around assuming the identity of someone who 202 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: has a clean background. 203 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: Right, And I also could have been a victim. I 204 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: could have gotten an uberh I haven't in a while, 205 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: but I could have been a victim, and I worried. 206 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: About it and we just don't know. 207 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, all right?

I think she wanted a private moment. 269 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: We unfortunately heard all that. Okay, here's the issue that 270 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: I have. Jack Hughes, you know, the guy who had 271 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: the golden goal for the USA hockey team to beat 272 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: Team Canada and the Olympics in Italy. Well, after that game, 273 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: it would have been kind of odd. If he went 274 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: into the net and grabbed the puck before he celebrated, 275 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: people would look down on that. So he just celebrated, 276 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: went on, you know, talking, you know, drinking and and 277 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: doing TV shows and interviews. He did some amazing interviews, 278 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: and somebody grabbed that puck, that golden gold puck, and 279 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: gave it to the Hall of Fame, which is up 280 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: in Toronto, Canada, the Hockey Hall of Fame. So I 281 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: looked unchanged to see if there was a petition I 282 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: could sign, and I looked and I looked and looked. 283 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: There was nothing. There was nothing. 284 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: So I created one with the help of a friend 285 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: of mine who's a sports writer, because he's a better 286 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: writer than I am. So I want to read it 287 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: to you. We have time, I think we do. When 288 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Jack Hughes, here's the issue. When Jack Hughes, a rising 289 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: star in the hockey world, secured a thrilling victory for 290 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: Team USA in last Winter Olympics by scoring the decisive goal, 291 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: the moment became etched into the annals misspelled annals of 292 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: sports history. This puck responsible for the iconic goal represents 293 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: more than just a piece of memorabilia. It's a symbol 294 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: of hard work, triumph, personal achievement for Jack Hughes. Without Jack, 295 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: this puck is just a piece of rubber that was 296 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: I thought of lying that would get a lot of people. 297 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: Its value transcends the physical object and is intimately connected 298 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: with the incredible journey of an athlete dedicated to his craft. Unfortunately, 299 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: the significant momento currently resides outside its rightful home and 300 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: outside of the United States. It's in Toronto, but the 301 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: Canadians would love to give this thing up. The puck 302 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: is currently held by the Hockey Hall of Fame, depriving 303 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: Jack of a personal keepsake for one of the most 304 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: defining moments of his young career. Athletes like Jack Hughes 305 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: pour their heart, soul, and countless hours into hard work 306 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: into perfecting their game. It is only fitting that they 307 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: have reminders of the monumental achievements. This puck a testament 308 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: to his success and contribution to his sport, and this 309 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: country rightfully belongs to him. We are a community of 310 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: hockey fans and supporters of Jack Hughes. We all urge 311 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: the NHL and the Hockey Hall of Fame to rectify 312 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: the situation. Let us honor the intent behind achieving sports history, 313 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: ensuring that athletes can both share their achievements with the 314 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: public while reting while retaining those truly personal artifacts that 315 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: inspire and commemorate their personal journeys. By returning the Olympic 316 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: winning puck to Jack use, the Hockey Hall of Fame 317 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: has the opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to honoring the 318 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: efforts and passions of individual players. Let us celebrate Jack's 319 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: achievement by allowing him to keep the precious memory close. 320 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: He was going to give it to his dad. 321 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: Please join us in urging the NHL and the National 322 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: and the Hall of Fame to return the Olympic winning 323 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: puck to Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils.
