1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Did I.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 3: I'm Chris by the way, thanks a lot, Hi Chris.

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 3: Oh hey, I got to I got a lot of

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 3: nasty grams last night. So thanks to everybody that took

6
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 3: time to look me up and send me a message

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 3: telling me how much you hated me. So that's great

8
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 3: for my self esteem. Everybody loves fan mail, Oh my gosh.

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 2: The thing is that I don't do well with it.

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: I've I've talked about this before and I probably shouldn't

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: say it because it just gives amo to haters. I'm

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: really bad at it because I'm a terrible person who

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: can't I can't take hater mail and just assume that

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: it's some booger living in a in a in a rented,

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: dilapidated trailer out in the middle of the desert somewhere

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 3: who's just become a keyboard warrior, which is probably.

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: What most of these people are.

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 3: I always I always think that it's, oh, my goodness,

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: this is probably like a USC professor who's giving me

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: honest feedback about how terrible I am and how much

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: my mother should have aborted me. But I don't and

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: I'll talk to my colleagues about it and they're like,

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: you know, you shouldn't. I know I shouldn't, but it

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 3: hits hard. So anyway, thanks, A lot of people appreciated that.

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: That's a nice way. Hang on, how bad, Oh you'll

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: never make it? You are.

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're the worst thing I've ever heard. The UKFI

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: is really gone downhill. Yeah, all that kind of stuff.

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: Well, thank god, your self esteem is so bullet prio.

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: It's terrible.

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: It really is terrible, Like honestly, because you know, I

32
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: have a real job, and the rule of my real

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 3: job is I don't deal with the social media because

34
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: I can't. I absolutely cannot. It just it breaks me

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 3: so fast. It stresses me out. I get I get anxiety.

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: I get a little angina. They get a little angina.

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: Oh no, stay strong, stay strong. O MG.

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: What if Richie and I were to do a show together,

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: we could be the Dickey and Angina Show. Oh my

40
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: god out huh. Anyway, I got a confession to make.

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: Let's start off this way. I am not a Dodgers fan.

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: That's another great way to endear yourself to the hater.

43
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I'm not a Dodgers hater. But let me

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: just explain a little bit. Okay, So look, Dodgers fans,

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 3: this is not I'm not hating on you at all

46
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: at all. It's just that I'm not originally from California,

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: and the more I drink, the more my northern accent

48
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: will come out. So i grew up a Detroit Tigers fan,

49
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: and I'm I love to tell the story about how

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: Ernie Harwell and al Caline told me more bedtime stories

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: than my parents because I just fell asleep to the

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: Tigers on the radio in the early nineteen eighties when

53
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: the Tigers team was so good, and it was just

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: it's a very magical and special memory for me, and

55
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: so I will forever be a Tigers fan.

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: Casual fan, Okay, I'm not like a Rabbit fan. I'm

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: a casual fan.

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 3: That said, anywhere that I've ever worked, I will also

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: adopt that team. So if you were to open my closet,

60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: I'm also I'm a sports fan. So when you open

61
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: my closet, you'll see Kansas City Royals gear, you will

62
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: see San Diego Padres gear, you will see Arizona well.

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: I have like two Arizona Diamondbacks. Things, right, because I've

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: worked in all of these markets. I've got to San

65
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: Francisco Giants pull over. As you can tell, many cities

66
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: have rejected me. Okay, So that said, if you're a

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: Dodgers fan, congratulations, it's amazing. There's nothing better than having

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: a team that perennially stands a chance.

69
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: Right. Also, they perennially break your heart.

70
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: I get that too because I was also as I mentioned,

71
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: I was in Kansas City and I was a Kansas

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: Jayhawks fan. So every year during the basketball tournament, I

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: get very excited about the Jayhawks team, and more often

74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: than not, you know, we get not out of the tournament.

75
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: But that said, your Dodgers fandom is costing you a

76
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: butt load. Might I recommend finding a more mediocre team

77
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: like my Detroit Tigers. Follow me on this. My Tigers

78
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: are ahead right now in the in the the game

79
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 3: five of this best of five series. Right it's bottom

80
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: of the seventh. 're up two to one over the Mariners. Okay,

81
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: I have very little faith that they will pull this off,

82
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: although as a fan, I would love to see that happen.

83
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: But the further they go, the more expensive it gets. Okay,

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: it's called there's a name for this winflation. Okay, being

85
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: a Dodgers fan is a bad retirement plan because they

86
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: win too much, and when they win, you want to

87
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 3: spend money on them, and the prices keep going up.

88
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: So if you have a team that gives.

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: You hope, spend a little bit of money and then

90
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 3: they get knocked out in a divisional series, Yay, there's

91
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 3: always hope.

92
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: For next year.

93
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: But it didn't cost you a ton for tickets and

94
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 3: gear and watch parties and everything else.

95
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: How bad is it? NBCLA was doing a story on

96
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: this very thing.

97
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 4: If you're like me, a Dodger fan, you certainly relish

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: a World series from the Dodgers. I got my patch

99
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: here on my jersey, But you don't relish paying that

100
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: credit card bill after that game?

101
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: Did see? It is tough?

102
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: It is tough, Laura, listen, It's painful to be a

103
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 3: fan of a good team.

104
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: Thats what I'm talking about. He showed out good money

105
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: for last night's game.

106
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: I'm not mad, you know, as long as you keep winning.

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: I died, don't.

108
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: Okay, Yes, those tickets are expensive. I mean they're expensive

109
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 5: for a reason.

110
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 4: Oh Gwenda, a lifelong Dodger fan, all dressed in pink today.

111
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 4: She was actually giving birth to her daughter during the

112
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: last World Series.

113
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: She was born during the World Series, and we were

114
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 5: watching it in the.

115
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: Hospital last year.

116
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we're in the hospital watching it,

117
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 5: watching the.

118
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Parade, and we named her Kershaw is.

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 5: A Dodger fan.

120
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: For like he will be showing out the big Bucks

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 4: this year if the Dodgers go again, we'll be watching.

122
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 5: It on TV comfortably on our couches.

123
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: What could yeah? Okay, how much are we talking here?

124
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 4: See the average cost if the Dodgers go to another

125
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: World Series. We'll check out this kind of ticket from

126
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: the nineteen sixties on eBay at dollar fifty. That's for

127
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: a regular season game. But in nineteen sixty yeah.

128
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: But with inflation, you're talking like almost seven dollars sixty.

129
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: Three when the Dodgers played the Yankees in the World Series,

130
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 4: the price for a World Series ticket then just about

131
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: twelve bucks and two dollars for a bleacher seat. Jump

132
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 4: fifty years to twenty fifteen. The Mets Royals series. The

133
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 4: average resale ticket they are about fourteen hundred and thirty

134
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: seven dollars last year on Yeah.

135
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: I tapped out, I was I was in.

136
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: I just left Kansas City when that was going on,

137
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: and I buddies at Wit to that game. I think

138
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: they're still paying off their credit cards stop Hub.

139
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: The cheapest ticket for the World Series only about four

140
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 4: hundred and thirteen dollars. Well, the most expensive about twenty

141
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars. So we called the vice president of

142
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: get sales for the Dodgers.

143
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 6: We've seen tickets I mean as low as probably one

144
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 6: hundred dollars or so to get in for some of

145
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 6: the games.

00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: He says, getting tickets.

147
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the one hundred dollars tickets, they never stay

148
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: at one hundred dollars. Somebody always flips them. They always

149
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: flip them early.

00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 7: This is Access Vegas Live, a Las Vegas podcast hosted

201
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 7: by Michael Sartin. According to Sartin, Levi appeared on his

202
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 7: show earlier this year under the name Mia Bintura. He

203
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 7: says she used that appearance to slip into backstage green

204
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 7: rooms and steal from other guests.

205
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 2: At the forty five minute mark.

206
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 8: She gets up, and she goes into the green room

207
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 8: where all the girls have left their purses, and she

208
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 8: proceeds to for probably the next twenty three minutes, maybe

209
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 8: a little shorter than that, she goes rummages through all

210
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 8: their purses. She gets cash and credit cards out, and

211
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 8: then she comes back on the show.

212
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 7: One of those guests, Eden Lynn, says she lost her

213
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 7: credit cards and four hundred dollars in cash.

214
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: Hey, so it's just sitting around for like twenty three minutes.

215
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: I don't like people.

216
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 7: She didn't realize it until later that night when she

217
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 7: tried to order medicine for her sick child.

218
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: I placed it doorida. Oh that is all.

219
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 3: It's not just she needed a burrito. It's that medicine

220
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: for my sick child, not even medicine for herself. It

221
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: had to be medicine for my sick child.

222
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 7: I didn't realize it until later that night when she

223
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 7: tried to order medicine for her sick child.

224
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 5: I placed a DoorDash order for medicine and a burrito.

225
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: She left that part up and one of.

226
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 5: The medicines I had to show ID to the driver,

227
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 5: and so I noticed, like within a few hours everything missing.

228
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 7: A police report was never filed, but both Lynn and

229
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 7: Sartan say that once the podcast aired, they were flooded

230
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 7: with accusations of similar behavior against Levi.

231
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, we got a pattern.

232
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 5: She's been accused of this like but just through social media.

233
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 7: According to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, Levin's accused of

234
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 7: victimizing at least ten men in Malibu and LA County.

235
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 7: They say she has been previously arrested for similar crimes,

236
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 7: but right now she is not in custody.

237
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: Oh, they're looking for all units, all units suspect on

238
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: the run.

239
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 7: For Lynn and Sartan, what stands out the most is

240
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 7: Levi's composure after allegedly committing a crime.

241
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: Well that's how a good con works. Look, you don't

242
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: get away with it that long and not be good

243
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: at it all right, So there's surveillance images that are

244
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: out there. She's driving either a black Portie or a

245
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 3: white mom sades. It's going on all over LA County.

246
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: And not only is she getting into green rooms, but

247
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: she's also going after older guys. So, according to the

248
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 3: La Times, what older men throughout La County thought they

249
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 3: found a date, they ended up discovering their supposed companion

250
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: was allegedly more interested in their possessions than their time.

251
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: Detectives are asking for the public's assistance.

252
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: She's five seven one oh four, and they say, if

253
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 3: you know anything about this lady, you're supposed.

254
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: To call the lapd. Okay, So.

255
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: Word of the wise, I know you're an older guy,

256
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: and she knows that you are vulnerable to this kind

257
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: of con. It's called the black widow con. It's got

258
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: a name. And this is the this is the sort

259
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 3: of thing that they make films out of. Right, It's

260
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: called the black widow con. And uh, you just need

261
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: to be vigilant. There are a couple of clues, okay.

262
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 3: And it's gonna be tough because there are there are

263
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: legitimate attractive women out there who are looking for older

264
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: rich men so that they can marry them and inherit

265
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: all of their money.

266
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: Those do exist, so you can still find.

267
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 7: That.

268
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: But she doesn't want to wait for you to kick

269
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: the bucket.

270
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: So here's how you know that you are being conned.

271
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: First of all, and this is tough. First of all,

272
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: look in the mirror. Are you old? Right?

273
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: Does it hurt when you get up in the morning.

274
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 3: All right, Second, are you unattractive? Chances are yes. And

275
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: if you are old and on attrain, is this young

276
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: and attractive woman interested in you? And if that's the case,

277
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 3: that's a red flag? Okay, all right, So criteria are

278
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: you old? Are you unattractive? And then finally, do you

279
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: have money? If you're old, unattractive and with money, definitely,

280
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: a young attractive woman is not actually interested in you

281
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: unless you're Bill Belichick. Unless your Bill, then she's she's

282
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: just not actually you know what. Even if you are

283
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick, she's not actually into you. She just sees

284
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: you as a payday. So you are you are? You

285
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: are a means to fame and fortune if you're Bill Belichick.

286
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: If you're not Bill Belichick, she's gonna rob you.

287
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: Just just a heads up, just.

288
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: Public the more, you know, bit of a bit of

289
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,320

00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: these sorts of real talks that you and I can bond.

292
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: Imagine you're fast asleep and all of a sudden, boom,

00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: they do the dynamite and then blow up the saloon.

315
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: And there's nothing left, just planks all over the place.

316
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: If you didn't see the footage of this, it was

317
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: the most terrifying explosion you could imagine. The closest that

318
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: I could relate to it, right is probably it reminded

319
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: me of some of the footage that we've seen from Gaza,

320
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: you know, because when the explosions are going off in Gaza,

321
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 3: just buildings absolutely demolished that, you know, looking like they

322
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: were demouse. In this case, though, because a lot of

323
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: the stuff in Gaza is built out of concrete or rock,

324
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: whatever it is, this looked like the plant was made

325
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: out of wood.

326
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: And there's nothing left. I mean, there is nothing. It

327
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: is just.

328
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: And well I was gonna say it looks like a

329
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: bomb went off, but it did. I mean, it was

330
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: a munition's plant. It was a bomb that went off,

331
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: and there is absolutely nothing left. So when they talk

332
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: about people being missing still, I don't think they're looking

333
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: for bodies.

334
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: I think they're looking for parts.

335
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 9: Several people are dead more than a dozen others missing

336
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 9: after an explosion at a plant in Tennessee. This happened

337
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 9: this morning at a manufacturing plant about fifty miles west

338
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 9: of Nashville.

339
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 10: And we do not know the exact number of casualties.

340
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 10: People in the community are being asked to stay away

341
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 10: from the scene because there could be more explosions. According

342
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 10: to the plant's website, they manufacture explosives and energetic devices

343
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 10: for the military, aerospace, and mining industries. We will, of

344
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 10: course continue to fall this breaking new story.

345
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: That's ABC seven.

346
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: The blast is reportedly it was so powerful that it

347
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: showed up on the weather radar. It threw so much

348
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: debris in the air that the doppler picked it up.

349
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: That is shocking.

350
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: The sheriff's words were, and this is sad quote, it's gone.

351
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: We are missing nineteen souls right now. As you heard

352
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: from the ABC report. They don't know exactly how many

353
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: people are gone, but I'm gonna tell you it's nineteen

354
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: because there's no way anyone survived that blast.

355
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: There is not a chance. Roner. Did you see the footage?

356
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: Did you see the photos? No, I haven't seen any

357
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: of the visuals yet at all, but I've read plenty

358
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: about him.

359
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 3: The aerial you know, one of the Nashville TV stations,

360
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: I think must have had a helicopter that was overhead

361
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: and in getting.

362
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: B roll for it and it was. It's the most

363
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: horrific thing I've seen.

364
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: There's just there's no building left, you know how it looks,

365
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: uh when when you see like a landfill and they

366
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: kind of spread the trash out and it's just it's

367
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: just a bunch of just a bunch of crap land

368
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: all over the place. But it's all relatively level. Oh god,

369
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: I'm looking photos of it right now. Yeah, yeah, Yeah,

370
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: it's horrific. There's there's not a remnants of a wall.

371
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 3: Tornadoes do less damage than this explosion did. There is

372
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 3: absolutely it's when they say leveled, there isn't even a

373
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: pile of debris. It was dispersed so far that the

374
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 3: debris all found its own way to the ground. Nothing

375
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: is even stacked up. There's no there's no semblance of

376
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 3: a wall. There's no semblance of a floor, there's no

377
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: semblance of a roof. There is nothing. It is just

378
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: shards of of of of stick of of the of

379
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 3: the walls that had been there, just shards of it.

380
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: It's not like there's there's even you know, the remnants

381
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: of what might you might look at and go, oh,

382
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 3: well that used to be a wall.

383
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: It's not there.

384
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: There's a parking lot that I would say is probably

385
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: three four hundred yards away and the vehicles there, some

386
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 3: of them are have significant damage. There's of course debring

387
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 3: an ash all over the top of these vehicles, and

388
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: you can see kind of the blast direction from the

389
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: building toward that parking lot. And I would say that

390
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: every vehicle in that parking lot four hundred yards away

391
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: is total. It's absolutely a mess. I cannot imagine. And

392
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 3: if you're a thoughts in prayers kind of person, please

393
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: send up your thoughts in prayers tonight for the families,

394
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 3: because I know they're clinging to hope right now. There

395
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: isn't any there just is not, and so they're waiting

396
00:20:54,600 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 3: for recovery crews to find bodies parts and identify them

397
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: to get closure. This is so horrible, and I again,

398
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: we don't know exactly what caused it, and we get

399
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: stories like this that will pop up on occasion of

400
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 3: things like you know, fireworks facilities, right, fireworks facilities, or

401
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: you know, we just had the oil refinery that that

402
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: had the explosion and that was a massive explosion too,

403
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: so we don't know exactly what sparks it. In the

404
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: same way that many times. We don't know what causes

405
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: those types of explosions and fires. I don't know that

406
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: this is something that's going to bring about change or

407
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: that OSHA is gonna get involved. I have no idea,

408
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: but I do know that this is. It cannot be

409
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: overstated just how devastating this explosion absolutely was, absolutely was.

410
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: The munitions, by the way, are for both the United

411
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: States and then for our military and for other I'm

412
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 3: assuming that we sell them to other militaries as well,

413
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: So that's that's what they were.

414
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: Just a bad deal all the way around.

415
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: I really don't have anything else to say about that

416
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 3: other than just my god, it was horrific. I mean

417
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 3: nothing else. I can say thoughts and prayers to them.

418
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 3: If you're a thoughts and prayers person, please send them

419
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: to the families right now.

420
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: Okay.

421
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: Imagine spending weeks building out what you think is a

422
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: quirky or a funny or even what you would consider

423
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 3: the perfect Halloween display, and then some neighbor comes by

424
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: and complains about it. There's a sokel couples and their

425
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 3: haunted house is vanishing before the trigger treaters ever showed up.

426
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: What that's up to is next I'm Chris Merrill.

427
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A six on demand.

428
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: What about a haunted h O way.

429
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: It's a couple that have had to take down their

430
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 3: Halloween display when they got to knock on the door

431
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: from the local news that said why are you racists?

432
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: And they went what.

433
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: I as much as some people are gonna bag on

434
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: this family, I'm gonna stand up for him. Here in

435
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 3: just a minute, you're gonna find out why. Here's the

436
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: story from Katy, La.

437
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 11: Just three weeks before Halloween and decorations are sprouting up all.

438
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: Across the south Land. Isn't that nice?

439
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 11: This one, though, drew concerns from a passer by.

440
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 2: Wait until you hear what it is.

441
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 12: We have a skeleton that's painted black that's hung on

442
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 12: a noose by the neck underneath the American flag.

443
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: Ooh, that feels like some tragic symbolism.

444
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 11: That description came as an enormous surprise to the homeowner.

445
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 3: What are black skeleton hanging from a noose under an

446
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: American flag?

447
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: What?

448
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: No?

449
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: Never wait of lynching? Oh my gosh, no, I would never. No,

450
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: wait a second, that sounds like Adam Sandler.

451
00:23:58,400 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: No.

452
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: No, So this is a misunderstand. Oh, for sure, we

453
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: will have that taken down right away.

454
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 11: And then she she did while we were there.

455
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: We are not about that at all. No, no, oh,

456
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: that's horrible.

457
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 12: If they knew me, they would know that that's not

458
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 12: our intent.

459
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: We would never.

460
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 11: Turns out there was no noose. The skeleton was zip

461
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 11: tied to the pole.

462
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: I think that's it. And it wasn't painted either.

463
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 11: The black plastic bones came like that straight from the store.

464
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 2: Okay, story takes a little twister, doesn't it.

465
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 11: And as these pictures show, there have.

466
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 2: Been I can't see pictures Radio.

467
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 11: And other skeletons under the flag on previous halloweens without complaint.

468
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 12: Nevertheless, when you see it from afar and you see

469
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 12: a black skeleton being hung underneath the American flag, what.

470
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: Does that mean?

471
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 11: A point taken by the homeowner not wanting anyone to

472
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 11: feel uncomfortable.

473
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: It would never, We would never. That's disappointing to me

474
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: that somebody would assume that.

475
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: Oh, now wait a minute, who wha wha, wha, whoa, whoa, whoa,

476
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: whoa whoa. Let's not gaslight somebody else here. Okay, Oh,

477
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: how how could you possibly see that I'm disappointed. No no, no, no, no,

478
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 3: no no, hang on, I was back in the homeowner

479
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 3: until then.

480
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: All right, hang on, no somebody would assume that.

481
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 12: I'm very happy to hear that's that's that's a relief.

482
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm glad that they.

483
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 11: Brought it down a dramatically different holiday interpretation, settled calmly,

484
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 11: but also a glimpse of just how fragile sensitivities are

485
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 11: in this day and age.

486
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeh, in this day and age. But what do you

487
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: think this is new?

488
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: This is not new that people are sensitive about this,

489
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: or that we live in a society where it's entirely

490
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: possible that you've got a neighbor who was hanging a

491
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: black skeleton from a noose under an American flag. Is

492
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: this not new in this day and age. This has

493
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: been going on in this country since this is before

494
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 3: the Civil War. But I do want to say this.

495
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: There are some neighbors that say, you know, it's unfair,

496
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: you shouldn't look at it that way, that the homeowners

497
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: didn't do anything wrong. And then you've got some people

498
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: that are saying, you know, hold on, now, that's not cool.

499
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: You can't do that.

500
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: Here's where I fall in this in this country, we

501
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: are never going to get past the racism that we have.

502
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 3: It will never happen. It will never happen.

503
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: And do you know why. It has to do with

504
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: the curse of knowledge.

505
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: Either you know about the racism because you've learned about it,

506
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: either through firsthand experience or someone else has taught you,

507
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: or you don't know about the racism and you're ignorant.

508
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: In this case, the homeowners were ignorant to what other

509
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 3: people might see when they walk by and they see

510
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 3: a black skeleton hanging somebody thought it was hanging from

511
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 3: a news it wasn't. But they see a black skele

512
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 3: asn't hanging from a pole under an American flag, right,

513
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: so they were They were oblivious to the racial the

514
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: racial symbology that somebody else might interpret. Somebody else, having

515
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: experienced racism at some other point in their lives, is

516
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: sensitive to it. The only way for someone not and

517
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 3: this is this is the irony of racism. The only

518
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 3: way for someone not to be racist is to teach

519
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: them how to be racist. Do you follow. The only

520
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: way that you can have a white family know that

521
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 3: something might be sensitive to a minority group is if

522
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: you tell them what the things are that they could

523
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: do that would be offensive to minority groups. Now, minority

524
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 3: groups are going to continue to face racism because we're

525
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: not going to stamp it out. Why is that because

526
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: we've taught people how to be racist, either that's been

527
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: passed on from other racist parents, other family members, or

528
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: somebody along the way had to teach them how to

529
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: be racist, so that in the.

530
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: Effort that they wouldn't be.

531
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: But of course, as we know in today's day and age,

532
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: as KCLA was telling us, people are sensitive to it.

533
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: And as soon as you know what someone is sensitive to,

534
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: you have power over them.

535
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: You can control their emotions if someone is true and

536
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that in no way shape or form

537
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: them by saying that people don't have the right to

538
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 3: be upset.

539
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 2: Of of course they do.

540
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: But as soon as you get upset about it, someone

541
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 3: else has altered your behavior pattern. Racism has forever been

542
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 3: used as a power play. It's always been about power,

543
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: and so when you teach somebody how to be racist,

544
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: you're teaching them how to grab power from someone else.

545
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: And some people will not be able to resist that.

546
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: They will not take the path that that allows them

547
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: to be a kinder, gentler neighbor to create social healing.

548
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: Some people will use that as an opportunity to seize

549
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 3: power over someone else. I find it to be tragic.

550
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: I find it to be absolutely tragic that that that's

551
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 3: the world that we're in. But it is, and it's

552
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 3: not about today's day and age. It's not about some

553
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: people are sensitive now.

554
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: No, this is the way it is. It's the way

555
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: it's going to be now.

556
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: I do have some hope that we've got younger generations

557
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: that are are growing up in more diverse neighborhoods, and

558
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: while they may know about racism, hopefully they have enough

559
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: respect for the other cultures that they don't seek to

560
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: use that to attain power in their own lives. I'm

561
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: hoping that's the that's the optimism that I have moving forward. Sadly,

562
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think I'm ever going to

563
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: see a time where America doesn't deal with racism in

564
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: this way. I'll be long dead before then all of

565
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: us will be. I don't think it's ever gonna happen.

566
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: But I have hope that with every generation we get

567
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: just a little bit better at it, just a little

568
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 3: bit better, so that one day, the first thing somebody

569
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: sees when they see the black skeleton hanging from the

570
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: from the from the flagpole is not oh my gosh,

571
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: these people are racist.

572
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: They go, hey, where'd they get a black skeleton?

573
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: That's weird that I'm hoping that day comes. It won't

574
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 3: happen in our lifetimes.

575
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: Sadly.

576
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: Okay, you thought having a government job would make you untouchable,

577
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 3: but now the swamp is draining you. The pink slips

578
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: are piling up in DC. Kind of makes you wonder

579
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: how safe your own paycheck really is. That's next. I'm
