This restaurant does coffee and barbecue. 27 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: It's a charming, quirky little place that has kind of 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: a little hippie laguna beach kind of vibe. In the front, 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 3: there's a restaurant that leads to a patio, and then 30 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 3: at the back of the patio there's a shop where 31 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 3: there's also a stage. I spoke to the owner of 32 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: the restaurant this morning, Vivian Hartman. She says while the 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 3: shop was closed, thieves broke in, stole valuable items, including 34 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 3: a cast register, computers, dug through everything so every last box, 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: and smashed the place up with a baseball bat. 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 4: I mean, they went through anything and everything and then 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 4: they just destroyed it. They just it looks like a 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 4: drugged It looks like the site of the freeway where 39 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 4: all the homeless live. It looks like where all the 40 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 4: where all the we're all. 41 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: The motor homes there, and. 42 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: How they live outside and they collect trash, and they 43 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 4: went through everything, like, why did they need to do this? 44 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: They didn't need to do this. 45 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: This was mean, It was mean. 46 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 5: It was mean. 47 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 3: She hasn't totaled the exact cost of everything, but she's 48 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: saying it's going to cost at least ten thousand dollars 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: just to do cleanup on the place. It was really 50 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: windy and silmar today. We were actually conducting this interview 51 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: in the back because you can't even go into the 52 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: restaurant at this point. It's just been so heavily damaged inside. 53 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: And there was stuff guys scattered all over that back 54 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: patio I was describing. 55 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 5: I thought it was the wind. 56 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: I thought maybe the wind had just knocked all sorts 57 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: of things over, and she said, no, this was actually 58 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 3: from the homeless people who broke in over the weekend. 59 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: According to Hartman, police recovered a baseball bat, there were 60 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 3: clothes all over the building, and drug parafernialia was found. 61 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 3: And on that drug paraphernalia. This morning, I swung by 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: the restaurant to try to make contact with the owners. 63 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: Right outside their front door, or maybe three feet over, 64 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 3: there was a guy lighting up a meth pipe. Now 65 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: all of This is a huge hit to Hartman. Her daughter, Sofia, 66 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: died a leukemia in two thousand and five. Since then, 67 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: Hartman's been pushing to get legislation passed and her daughter's 68 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: honor well. Recently, Sophia's Act legislation, which is a huge 69 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 3: step toward getting uninsured kids hospice care, was passed and 70 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: signed by the governor. So they were getting the place 71 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: ready for a celebration so. 72 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 4: That now children could go home if they wanted to 73 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 4: go to heaven. And so we cleaned up our beautiful spot. 74 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 4: We got everything in the back prepared. My husband did it, 75 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 4: and we re structured their front and we were all 76 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: prepared to have a celebration of this huge, huge milestone 77 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: for all the children in California. And then we came 78 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 4: here and then we opened the door and this is 79 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: what we found. 80 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 5: So it's just been a huge blow. I spoke to police. 81 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: They're still looking for the people who broke in, but 82 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: just in this area, if you look around, there's quite 83 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: a few homeless people. Guide this is really close to 84 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: that makeshift our v park. 85 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: It's not it was not just a robbery. 86 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: It was a complete destruction to take off their cafe. Yeah, 87 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 2: they trashed the place, took I said to They even 88 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: dismantled the surveillance cameras. 89 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: They took a bat to bash up the equipment in 90 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: the shop. They took the store computers. Uh, they cut 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: the internet connection. And then you walk in there and 92 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: apparently they're there. They're they're sleeping bags, they're clothing it 93 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: says personal hygiene, hygiene items, and the drug para finale 94 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: was all left around. So I guess they had they 95 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: lived in the place all weekend and when they'd wake up, 96 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: they'd trash it some more. 97 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: Hey, but Blake, is there any homeless encampments near this restaurant. 98 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 3: Or there were quite a few homeless people in the 99 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: area just driving around. I parked across the street out 100 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: of Jack in the Box. There are a couple homeless 101 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: people there. As I said, there was a homeless guy 102 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 3: smoking meth right outside the front door of this place. 103 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: When we came out from doing the interview, there was 104 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 3: a homeless lady. And this is notably close to that 105 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: to that that makeshift our V park, that makeshift our 106 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: V This is just right up the road. So there's 107 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 3: quite a few homeless people in the area. Yeah, it's definitely. 108 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: Uh, there's definitely How did they How did they know 109 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: what would be unoccupied all weekend because of this special 110 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: circumstance that caused it to be closed down? 111 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: Did they know the Heartman's at all? 112 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 5: Or I don't believe so that. 113 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: I mean, at this point, they still don't have any 114 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 3: idea who broke into their store. In fact, when we 115 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 3: wrapped up the interview, there was a homeless lady and 116 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: Hartman was asking her, Hey, do you know who's been 117 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 3: in my store? You know, she she's trying to get 118 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: to the bottom of it. I mean, what I suspect 119 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: is that it's just the layout of this place. As 120 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 3: I described, it's kind of a really small, artisan in 121 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: little place, so it wouldn't be really hard to figure 122 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: out if anybody's in there or not. 123 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 5: I mean, it's got a thin front door, and you. 124 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: Know, but they set up shop confidently all weekend there. 125 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: It just tells me they must have had a tip 126 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: maybe that they were going to be gone. 127 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe. 128 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 5: I mean it is good timing, that's true. 129 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: They aren't open though Mondays through Thursdays too, so that 130 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 3: you know, you think that they would think that they 131 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 3: were in the clear. So yeah, it really adds to 132 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 3: the confusion as to how they got out of there 133 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 3: in perfect timing. 134 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: Do they have any insurance coverage for this? How does 135 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: that work? Do you know? 136 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 5: So I've spoken with them. 137 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 3: What they're doing right now as far as trying to 138 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: rebuild is they set up a GoFundMe page. People can 139 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: check that out. They've raised more than about seven thousand 140 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: dollars in thing. It's like seventy five hundred something like that. 141 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: And as she said, she's really just trying to get 142 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: to about ten thousand dollars and that will allow them 143 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: to just conduct cleanup, which is pretty believable. 144 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 5: But they have equipment that they have to now replace. 145 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 3: This includes those cast registers, computers, the surveillance system, the 146 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: Internet system which was unplugged. 147 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 5: Who knows how much that will be. So there's a 148 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 5: lot of damage. 149 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: I mean, just when we went through it, and just 150 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: from what I saw on the patio as a reporter, 151 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: it was hard to keep up with everything that had happened. 152 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 5: She kind of just kept pointing to stuff. 153 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and they had the whole weekend to destroy 154 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: the place. I feel really really bad for these people. 155 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: There's a on go fund Me if you type in 156 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: the keyword helped save Buffalo Bruce's Mercantile. They have a 157 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: photo and there's a corrugated git next to the cafe 158 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: and a really disgusting, vile message spray painted on it. 159 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: I just to amplify in what you were talking about there, 160 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: the story about their daughter. They got Sophie's Act passed 161 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: that ensures that terminally ill children get continued health coverage 162 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: no matter a family's income, and it finally passed into 163 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: law in October eighteen years It took their daughter. Sophia 164 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: died of leukemia way back in two thousand and five. 165 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: So that's the kind of people they are. They'ed a 166 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: terrible loss of their daughter's going to have a celebration 167 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: for the bill being signed into law. Yeah, they can't, right, 168 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: And this is what they come to because we have 169 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: these vicious, savage animals crawling the street and the city 170 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: council person there is Monica Rodriguez, and Monica Rodrigez ought 171 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: to be ashamed of herself that she allows these savage 172 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: packs of vagrants to run around and do this kind 173 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: of damage to this poor couple.

They try to crack it open, but 219 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 7: when they can't, they just carry it out and load 220 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 7: it into a getaway car. The restaurant is the popular 221 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 7: La Boem in West Hollywood. 222 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: Tawadem prays out afret to come to what.

Of seven hundred and seventeen restaurant burglaries were 236 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 7: reported this year, only thirteen arrests have been reported. Those arrested, 237 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 7: some have been immediately released and then commit additional crimes. 238 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 7: Take the case of this man, Guillermo Vahar, who has 239 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 7: a felony record dating back to two thousand and six. 240 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 7: In January, he was charged with receiving stolen property and 241 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 7: was released without bail pending trial. Ten days later, he 242 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 7: committed a burglary at this downtown business, but wasn't arrested 243 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 7: at the time, And then a week later he burglarized 244 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 7: this restaurant and was released on twenty thousand dollars bail. 245 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 7: Three months later, he was sentenced on all three crimes 246 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 7: and allowed to serve the sentences concurrently. Do you think 247 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 7: we'd see fewer of these burglaries if there were stiffer sentences, 248 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 7: I would hope so. And we found cases like the 249 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 7: man who burglarized this North Hollywood restaurant in March, nineteen 250 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 7: year old Cordell Taylor. The week before the burglary, he 251 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 7: had been arrested for carrying a loaded gun. The month 252 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 7: after the burglary, he was arrested for stealing a car. 253 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 7: Each time Taylor was released with no bail. He was 254 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 7: sentenced to county jail this summer for all three crimes. 255 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 7: Had allowed to serve his sentences concurrently. La County District 256 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 7: Attorney George Gascone wouldn't sit down with us for an interview, 257 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 7: but his office told us in a statement, these offenses 258 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 7: are legally considered non violent, non serious charges. As a 259 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 7: result in the earlier arrests, our office did not seek 260 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 7: cash bail once it was apparent that these men will 261 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 7: repeat as our office did in fact seek cash bail. 262 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 7: You want tougher penalties on these people. 263 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: Off courtse and I want more streets. 264 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 7: The city of West Hollywood actually reduced the number of 265 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 7: cops on the streets last year, but in La Mayor 266 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 7: Karen Bass and the city council recently added funding for 267 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 7: more officers, partly because of the rise in crimes targeting 268 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 7: retail businesses. Would it help to have more officers on 269 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 7: the streets of La. 270 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 5: Absolutely, we are hiring. 271 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: We are hiring. 272 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 3: We need more officers, and we welcome them from wherever 273 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: we can get them. 274 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 7: But some restaurants targeted by crooks say they now want 275 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 7: to call it quits in the LA area, like the 276 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 7: company that owns La Bom in West Hollywood, which also 277 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 7: owns the twelve twelve restaurant in Santa Monica where this 278 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 7: man pushed his way into the restaurant when it was closed, 279 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 7: assaulting employees and stealing. 280 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: From the restaurant. 281 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 7: You were thinking of moving your restaurants out of California. 282 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: Yes, not. 283 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 7: The main deason is the safety and the well being 284 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 7: of this community. 285 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: My god, is this doesn't make you sick? Combine this 286 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: with the last report Blake hat and Silmour. Listen to 287 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: that man. He's obviously an immigrant, comes to this country, 288 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: puts in a lot of money in hard work, and 289 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: he's standing and watching Karen bass or in West Hollywood, 290 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: whoever the hell runs that city. Let all the criminals 291 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: run around like lunatics, destroying everything in sight, stealing everything 292 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: in sight. Keep this in mind. 293 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: Seven hundred and seventeen restaurant burglaries reported this year. There's 294 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: only been thirteen arrests. So thirteen you don't really have 295 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: that many people to let go right through the revolving 296 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: door of the justice system. But they found a few examples. 297 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: This this Guillarmo Vahar, who had an afthelity record dating 298 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: back to two thousand and six. He was charged in 299 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: January receiving stolen property, released without bail. Ten days later, 300 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: he burglarizes an La sewing machine wasn't arrested a week 301 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: later burglarized as a restaurant again released. 302 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: That's time on. That's why their statistics are fake. It's 303 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: all bs, it's all gas lighting. They're lying to you. 304 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: They're lying to you. Whether it's a Samantha Jesner, the 305 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: presiding judge of the La County Superior Court, it's gascone. 306 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: It's all the dweebs that work at the LA Times 307 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: they are lying to you. I can think about that, 308 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: thirteen arrests for seven hundred and seventeen restaurant burglaries, and 309 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: those are the ones reported. And then sometimes people have 310 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: just given up. You get a sentence and it's short, 311 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: or if you have multiple crimes, you get to serve 312 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: the sentences concurrently. And when the goal is to minimize 313 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: anybody being in jail, so nobody ever is supposed to 314 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: go to prison, or if you go, it's a very 315 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: short time, well you're going to create Mayham, which is 316 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: what you have.

The criminals don't get to and 320 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: people wake up and their life's work is destroyed, and 321 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: the police don't want to show up, the prosecutors don't 322 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: want to prosecute, the legislators pass all these wacky laws 323 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: making it difficult to get somebody put in jail, then 324 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: the judges let them off easy. The whole system has 325 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: completely been infected and corrupted For what? For what purpose? 326 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: What is the ultimate purpose of all this, if just 327 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: not the destruction of our way of life?

Daniel Gus from the Gus Report will be 346 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 2: our guest to talk about the Los Angeles City Council 347 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: approving a payment to the laped officer who served on 348 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: Garcetti security detail and said he was repeatedly sexually harassed 349 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: by a top aid to gar Citi. 350 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: The man's name is Rick Jacobs. 351 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 2: The city decided that they were probably going to lose 352 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: a trial, maybe even bigger than the two million that 353 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 2: they're giving in this settlement, so they decide to pay 354 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: this out. 355 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: Garcetti is costing us all this money all the way 356 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: from India because he was told repeatedly and he saw 357 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: repeatedly what Jacobs was doing. But Jacobs was making him 358 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: too much money in campaign donations. 359 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 2: All right, does anybody remember the twenty fifteen Paris Climate Accords. 360 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: What I remember distinctly about that is that Obama was 361 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 2: going to fly over there really fast to be a 362 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 2: part of the signing. He was so excited that large 363 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 2: nations around the globe had agreed to cuts in their 364 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 2: fossil fuel production. Well, here we are eight years later, 365 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 2: and a new report says that nations had vowed to 366 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: halt the warming are expanding. 367 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Their fossil fuels. 368 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 2: In twenty thirty, if current projections hold, the United States 369 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: will drill from more oil and gas than any point 370 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: in its history. Russia and Saudi Arabia plan to do 371 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: the same. 372 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: This is in the New York Times and the Wall 373 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: Street Journal. This is for real. All this climate change 374 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: nonsense is just bs. None of the major nations are 375 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: living up to their goals and their claims. This is 376 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: just about and this is what this is. Absolutely what 377 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: it's about is they have collected a lot of tax money. 378 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: They've created subsidies for companies who now access this tax 379 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: money in order to make big profits on things like 380 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: electric cars, for example, solar panels, wind turbines. There's all 381 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: kinds of scam companies now involved in this, and they're 382 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: sucking all the tax money out of the government. Meantime, 383 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: all the oil drilling, all the gas drilling is still 384 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: going on as planned. You're paying five dollars a gallon 385 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: here in California. Meantime, the climate is not cooling, This 386 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: is not reducing any greenhouse gases. All these nations are 387 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: increasing their greenhouse gas emissions because they have to drill 388 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: for gas and oil in order to live. The whole 389 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: thing is a scam, a racket. 390 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 2: You still have an economy to run, you still have 391 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 2: people who have families to feed, and these alternative energy 392 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: sources don't cut it. So they're going to have to 393 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: produce oil, gas, coal, have to have to That's just 394 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 2: the reality that leaders in these nations face, and that's 395 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: what they're doing. 396 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 5: Here. 397 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: Here's an example of United Arab Emirates. They are going 398 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: to host the next Climate Summit November thirtieth, great in Dubai, 399 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: and all these environmentalists, these diplomats, these business leaders are 400 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: going to hash out how each nation will reach its 401 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: climate goals, and they're going to debate on whether to 402 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: issue a statement on phasing out fossil fuels. 403 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 6: Well. 404 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: In July, Uaa officials said the country by twenty thirty 405 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: would cut greenhouse gas emissions by nineteen percent compared to 406 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. But the state owned Abu Dhabi National Oil 407 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: Company is boosting its oil production to five million barrels 408 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: a day by twenty twenty seven. Currently it's at four million. 409 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: So the country is claiming they're cutting their emissions by 410 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: nineteen percent. The state owned oil company says no, we're 411 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: going up twenty percent. 412 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: In fact, the company also plans to increase its liquid 413 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 2: natural gas production from six million metric tons a year 414 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: to fifteen point six million metric tons by twenty twenty eight. 415 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: That would also seem to be going in the wrong direction. 416 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: The study analyzed twenty nations that produce eighty percent of 417 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 2: the world's energy. In twenty fifteen, these nations pledge to 418 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: slow their coal, oil, and gas production to keep the 419 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: climate from warming. 420 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: But apparently that's not the case. The US oil production 421 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: will remain at record levels nineteen to twenty one million 422 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: barrels a day between twenty twenty four twenty fifty. There's 423 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: no cutting of oil production in the US. It's it's 424 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: going to maintain or go up over the next twenty 425 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: six years. US natural gas is going to increase continually 426 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: up to one point two trillion cubic meters in twenty fifty. 427 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: Most of that oil and gas is for export. We're 428 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: going to be drilling and mining so much oil, so 429 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: much gas. We're going to be selling it all over 430 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: the world, which is fine, but the gas in California 431 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't be five dollars a gallon. Then they're phonies. They're 432 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: complete phonies. Well then, why why is news and mandating 433 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: electric cars the phony? 434 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah? 435 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: Why are electric bills seventy percent higher than the national show? 436 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: People want you to do something about climate change, so 437 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: you know, you announce things like this. 438 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: Yes, but you know all those people they're not buying 439 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: electric cars. They don't like them. That's because they suck. 440 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they're telling polsters. We've got to do 441 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 2: something about oil and gas consumption. And then you think, 442 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 2: go buy a new gas car. 443 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, the electric car. Oh, the thing with a range 444 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: of you know, one hundred and fifty miles and you 445 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: have to hope that it doesn't get too hot and 446 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't get too cold. And we've got eight charger 447 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: stations between here in San Diego, and most of them 448 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: are really slow. You'd have to sit there for two hours. 449 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: If all of this is true. 450 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 2: Like, the only thing I can think of that might 451 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: make a difference eventually is if they do this carbon 452 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 2: recapture stuff that they're talking about. It's kind of complicated 453 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: formula the way they do it, but they can. They 454 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 2: can capture some of the carbon and I think they 455 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 2: store it underground, which is weird. But that's one of 456 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 2: the things. I don't know if they can do it 457 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: on a large scale basis. 458 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: What if this was never real. What if this just 459 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: was a racket so everyone connected could get rich. Maybe 460 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: that's what it was. Because it's not having any effect. 461 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: They're preaching at us constantly. They got new products that 462 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: nobody wants. They've jacked up prices that people are still 463 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 1: paying because we have to. Right, we're paying the gas prices, 464 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: we're paying the electricity prices, the the solar in wind 465 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: power has kind of fizzled out to some extent, it's plateaued. Yeah. 466 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 2: The report also mentions that there's going to be big 467 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 2: consumption coming from nations like Russia, Indonesia, and India. They 468 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: have sizeable populations those three nations, and they are going 469 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 2: to continue marching down. 470 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: The coal and oil route. That's not going to change 471 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: the natural gas. So whatever we do is canceled out 472 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: by those nations. 473 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: Just like whatever pity thing the California does is canceled 474 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 2: out by probably neighboring states. I mean he's over there 475 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: signing climate accords with the people in provinces in China. 476 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: Knewsome, this is what enrages me. All these foolish people 477 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: in our state walking around, prattling platitudes, making themselves feel good, 478 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: voting for people who reflect their values. All of it 479 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: for nothing. They're all getting played, They're all getting conned. 480 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: There's no reduction in greenhouse gases. It's ever increasing around 481 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: the world, and it's going to keep doing that till 482 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: at least twenty fifty, as far as they are willing 483 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: to estimate and count. So what are you doing paying 484 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: five dollars a gallon and gas? What are you doing 485 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: paying almost double the electricity other states are? What are 486 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: you doing? I just just make you feel better because 487 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: you have the right intentions. We'll be right back. 488 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: John and KENKFI AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 489 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 6: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 490 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 6: AM six forty. 491 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: Well more drama today on LA's metro system. A bus, 492 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: some passenger tells the bus driver that there's a guy 493 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: with a gun on the bus, so he calls the 494 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: police pulls over. This is four am by the way 495 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 2: Melrose in Western Avenues in Hollywood. The cops arrive and 496 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: apparently they try to somehow make contact with the passenger 497 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 2: who stays on the bus, the guy supposedly with the gun, 498 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: and they don't get a response. So the exciting news 499 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 2: is they sent robodog aboard the bus. 500 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: If you haven't heard about this, lapd now has a 501 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: robotic dog. 502 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 8: That was cool. I saw that. 503 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: Nicknamed Spot and it made its way onto the bus 504 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 2: and using the robotic dog, they determined that the man 505 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 2: that they wanted to get off the bus with the 506 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 2: gun was fast asleep. The guy eventually woke up, got 507 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 2: off the bus. Officers talked to him, took him into question, 508 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: took him into custody. 509 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: For further questioning. That's it.

It's a million chickens going 530 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 2: down in Minnesota. They got the bird flu every year 531 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 2: every year, mainly found at a farm in Wright County, Minnesota, 532 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 2: that's in the central part of the state. Whenever the 533 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: bird flu is detected in a flock, you have to 534 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 2: destroy the whole thing to prevent the disease from spreading. 535 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 8: Why can't you just test them and so the healthy 536 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 8: ones you let live. 537 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: It's a free It's a million, three hundred and two thousand, 538 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty birds. 539 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 8: So you're saying that's not reasonable, Well, it's. 540 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: Not reasonable to test a million they all have the flu. 541 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: That's a million three that has the flu. 542 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 8: Okay, but how did they get the flu. 543 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 2: It's easily transmitted from one bird to another, and sometimes 544 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: it just comes some of the We talked about this before. 545 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 2: Some of the bird could fly by and bird droppings, 546 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 2: and then the other the chickens are pecking around on 547 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: the ground. In goes the flu into their nose or mouth, 548 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: and then they're all hanging in. 549 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: Close quarters together. 550 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 9: That's why you need the foot well, Ken, that's exactly 551 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 9: why these animals need larger areas to spread their wings 552 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 9: right so that they're not on top of each other, 553 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 9: and maybe they wouldn't get so sick. 554 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: So they can fly in a bigger cage and go 555 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: from one end of the cage to the other where 556 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: the other bird is. I don't think so it's all 557 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: the same air. 558 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 9: I'm just saying that, Hey, look, some people write, some 559 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 9: people get COVID, other people don't write. But if you're 560 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 9: in close contact with somebody, the chances are you're going 561 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 9: to get sick. So I'm saying that, give the animals 562 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 9: more room and maybe you won't have next year a 563 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 9: huge bird flu situation. 564 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: Do you see the list of bird flu symptoms? Yeah? 565 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: I did see that. Yeah, sudden death, Well that'd be 566 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: an indicator. It's not right. 567 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised. Ever Mark didn't mention a bird va 568 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: a flu vaccine. 569 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 8: Well, well that's the other thing. 570 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: Don't chickens line up every fall? 571 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 8: That's right? Why don't we do that? 572 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: That's right. A million chickens lined up for their for 573 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: their little shots. 574 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 8: Well, it's it's better than. 575 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: Some people say. We didn't perfect the covid vaccine. You 576 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: think they're gonna perfect the bird vaccine. 577 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 8: It's worth a chance. 578 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, then you'll have anti vax birds and they'll start protesting. 579 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 9: I think they'd rather be vaccinated than be murdered. Well, 580 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 9: they're going to be murdered anyway. It's just so sad. 581 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 8: The word is euthanizedthize softer than murdered murdered people. When I, uh, 582 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 8: I youthanize. 583 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: When I when if I go down to KFC, I'm 584 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 2: participating in the murder. 585 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 8: They're already but your chicken is already dead. 586 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: When but I'm an accessory and you're eating properties. 587 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: Going to KFC and they couldn't sell any chickens, they 588 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: might not kill them. 589 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 8: Right, and then come on over to the vegan side. 590 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: There's always that evil door. 591 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: It's sad for the birds that apparently there's two types 592 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 2: of bird flu once called low pathenogenic avian influenza. 593 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: The wild birds get that but it's very mild. But 594 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: the highly pathodogenic avian influenza is found in a lot 595 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: of domestic poultry, and that's the one's got high mortality rates. 596 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: So I forgot. How did they kill a million birds 597 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: at once? They think they take away their oxygen or they. 598 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 8: Get right and that that's really humane, right. 599 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: They Well, I mean, so what's humane?
