6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: the hour with a wild story yesterday? Well, it's not

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: unusual that we have a group of people who go

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: into a store to shoplift or rob stuff. It's a

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Macy store in Brea, but the way it kind of

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: ended up was unusual. Let's go to Blake Trolley KFI

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: News for details on how this one unfolded.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: Blake.

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, actually, this one, it's not even just the

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: way it ended Ken, it's also the way that it

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 3: began this morning with Gary and Shannon. I call this

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: a smash and grab, then act, But now this appears

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: to be an act smash grab, then act again. Yesterday,

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: a group of four thieves ransacked the Macy store at

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: the Braa Mall. Police were tipped off on the robbery

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 3: early someone saw someone suspicious and called it in, But

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: before this robbery actually took place, it appears one of

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: the robbers actually called and reported a woman getting her

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: purse stolen at gunpoint to divert law enforcement resources away

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: from the mall, so police were on scene despite that

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: call when the group of thieves took off out of

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: the store and got into a getaway car. Police say

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: they began chasing the thieves but literally could not keep up.

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: The good news is people began calling the police department

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: and reporting where the car was heading. Multiple people making

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: these phone calls, and ultimately somebody called and told the

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: police where this car was ditched. And this car was

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: ditched near an elementary school. This is again where the

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: act in Smash or Act Smash grabbed an act ends.

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: The group ran into a dental office, presumably to hide

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: from police and ordered uber. The dental office at this

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: time is on lunch, so nobody's inside. One of the

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: women in the group apparently pretends she's have a heart

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: attack and the dentist at this office begins treating her.

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: Kate Rumaine, who works at the office, gave me a

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: description of how this all went down.

41
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: If we can go to bite one started immediate checking vitals,

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: CPR if needed. A doctor was in the room. I

43
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 4: asked the fellow that she was with to call nine

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: one one immediately. He then asked for the address and

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: I told him, thinking nine one one was on their way.

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: And then we noticed that their stories weren't lining up,

47
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 4: and suddenly she all of a sudden felt better and

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 4: came to leave. And upon leaving, I noticed there was

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: a bunch of hangers all over our waiting room, and

50
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 4: I stepped outside of the front office door and that's

51
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 4: when we saw the police that had completely cornered them

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: with guns strawed and they were being arrested.

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: They so they got started, so they got into the

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 3: Uber and the car was just surrounded pretty much immediately.

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: That poor uber driver had no idea what was going on.

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 4: I mean, you should have just seen his face.

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 5: Poor guy, right, really what did he look like?

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 4: He was just in shock. He was an older gentleman,

59
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: and I you know, you could hear him like drop

60
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 4: your keys, drop your keys out the window. And I'm

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: looking and the guy, the gentleman that was supposed to

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: conor in Loan one is like drinking his gatorade, just chilling.

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: It was the weirdest thing.

64
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: Thet all four were arrested, two from LA one from

65
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: Southgate and the other was from a steamy Valley. Of course,

66
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: the driver there not involved in the crime. He was released,

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: and officers tell me it's actually relatively common that Uber

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: drivers get caught up in crime.

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: This was elaborate. How much stuff did they get from

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Macy's to.

71
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: Do all this?

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: You know, I talked to Bray at Pede just before

73
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: this hit and they still don't have really an idea

74
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: of how much was stolen. I mean, it sounds like

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: quite a bit of stuff. But you hear about all those

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: hangars spread out over the over the lobby. She said

77
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: those hangars were also outside, so it appears they were

78
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: trying to pack up the goods, load into this uber

79
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: and take off. But as you heard earlier, somebody had

80
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: called police and said, yeah, I just saw this car

81
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: park here and they all ran into this dental office. Guys,

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of this does spark a bigger conversation.

83
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: I caught up with Orange County DA Todd Spitzer this morning.

84
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: This case, of course, will be turned over to his office.

85
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: He says he's impressed with all the good Samaritans who

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: came forward to inform police where these guys were headed.

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: But also he says people are fed up if we

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: go to Bye two.

89
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 6: And while I do not want people to engage in

90
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 6: any kind of physical activity with people who are stealing,

91
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 6: because I don't want to see anybody get hurt, the

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 6: fact of the matter is our citizens are very, very

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 6: proactive and they're not putting up with any of this anymore,

94
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 6: and they're going to do whatever it takes to help

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 6: the police facilitate the apprehension of these really, really bad people.

96
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 6: I mean, let's be clear. These smash and grabs are

97
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 6: about losing property, increase insurance rates, not being able to

98
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 6: get the products on the shelves because we we have

99
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 6: to have a clerk retrieve it for us, loss of jobs,

100
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 6: inability to give raises.

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: Go go ahead, dark Well, I just wanted to say, you know,

102
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: when you guys were off on Monday, I went to

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: Elmani where that jeweler fought off that one, you know,

104
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 3: the smashing gravity who walked in in bears prage four employees.

105
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 3: They immediately began the counter offensive, and you hear Spitzer

106
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: talking about it. People have reached a breaking point, and

107
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: we didn't get a chance to talk about that Elmani case,

108
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: but I have spoken with a lot of these small

109
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: business owners in the area, and they said, look, we

110
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 3: are small businesses. We've worked forever to build these these

111
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: are generational businesses, and we're not letting this go. And

112
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: the jeweler that I spoke with pretty much said the

113
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: same thing. And I think that we're now starting to

114
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: see a tipping point here, especially with these smaller businesses.

115
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: Well, because the police departments are not protecting us. Jackasses

116
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: like Gascon aren't protecting us. So I think I think

117
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: everybody's got to fight back. If you've got the courage

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: to do it, go do it. You can't sit there

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: and be afraid we might be back. Well, you know what,

120
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: for people who who have the desire, I think they

121
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: have to go for it. Somebody has to Otherwise you're

122
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: just gonna lose your business. You know, eventually you're not

123
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: going to be able to get insured.

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: And that was the general sentiment that I got when

125
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: I was in ALMANI I do want to go to

126
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: this last bite. This guy owns three businesses just across

127
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: the street from that jeweler, and here's what he had

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: to say.

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 7: I'm happy what they've done. I'm pretty sure everyone else,

130
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 7: anybody that has a business here would have done the same.

131
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: You're saying that's because these are not corporate stores. These

132
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: are small, family owned stores. This is everything for you guys.

133
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 7: Correct, And we've you know, personally, I've been here fifty years.

134
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 7: My dad started his business back in seventy four, so

135
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 7: almost fifty years. So this is you know, our livelihood.

136
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 7: You know, we're not gonna let anybody come and take

137
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 7: something from us.

138
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: And for fifty years, law enforce and the district attorneys

139
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: kept these business owners safe because the law was enforced

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: and bad guys were sent to prison, and bad guys

141
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: knew they'd go to prison, and that was a great deterrent.

142
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: Now it's anything goes. Why should all these people give

143
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: up their businesses to all these thugs? Well, yeah, everybody

144
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: on a fight I disagree with to sure, we don't

145
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: want people to get hurt. Oh maybe some people have

146
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: to get hurt. Maybe we got a war going on.

147
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, the Ukrainians all enlisted to fight

148
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: the Russians. You know, if it's important enough to you,

149
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: maybe you do have to fight and take a risk.

150
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: I want I want to point one thing out. You know,

151
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: I do think Gascone is really feeling this you guys

152
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: have pointed out that he helped ride up Prop. Forty seven.

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: I had recently, you know, word on the street was

154
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: that Gascone was working with an assemblymen maybe a state senator,

155
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: on a bill that would specifically target smash and grab

156
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: robberies or organize retail theft. I rolled down to the

157
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 3: DA this morning and I said, is the DA currently

158
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: working with anyone in the legislature on a bill that

159
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: would specifically target smash and grabs? If so, would be

160
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: interested in speaking with me on his efforts. Now, the

161
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: DA's office got back to me relatively recently, I mean

162
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: within the last couple of hours and said, the DA's

163
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: unable to interview. However, we are working on legislation, so

164
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: that's something I think we could see coming to the

165
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 3: DA's office.

166
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: But to make something illegal that always was illegal when

167
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: we're smashing grab robberies legal, when did we ever have

168
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: a problem before until the last couple of years, we

169
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: never had this problem. I've been I've been in California

170
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: for a long time. There was never any such thing.

171
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: If I made John, it's like old laws are becoming

172
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: innovative laws.

173
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he wants applause for that. He is

174
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: a cancer. Cancers need to be cut out. He's a

175
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: cancer on society.

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 6: Guest.

177
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: We'll see what comes out of his office. But you know,

178
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: giving that, given that there is some action, I think

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: at this point in time, you know, he's feel in

180
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: the pressure. And you know, we saw that when the

181
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 3: when they announced the Organized Retail Crime task Force. You know,

182
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: a lot of the questions went straight to his policy.

183
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what did that task force do so far?

184
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: I hear random arrests here and there. What did they

185
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: add up to?

186
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you hear about these arrests, but the

187
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: crime continues, and it also is happening in other counties.

188
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: And as we've heard, this is a state wide issue.

189
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: This is an issue that's happening up and down California.

190
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: You know, this massive retail crime. And I think you know,

191
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: when you talk to these business owners, they at this

192
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: point in time want to see legislative changes. I mean,

193
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: that's they all understand what's going on.

194
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: Well, all right, very good, Thanks, thank you very much. Blake.

195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: All Right, guys, good report.

196
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: All right. The crazy story of course Adam Brea where

197
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: a group of robbers and it was elaborate. I mean,

198
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: the first thing they did was they tried to get

199
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: the police diverted to a Wells Fargo with reports of

200
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: a bank hold up, which turned out to be fake.

201
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: So then they go to the Macy's and start grabbing stuff,

202
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 2: and then they try to get away, but the cops

203
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: were nearby and chase them, and then they run into

204
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: this dentist office fake a heart attack, call an uber.

205
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: Good lord. That's why I wondered how much stuff they

206
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: actually robbed.

207
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: If they're try all this, they're like a theater group.

208
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: And of course two of them come from La right,

209
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: they're down here in breath amporting from Simi Valley on

210
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: the part of their Southgate.

211
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: What are their records and have they already been arrested

212
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: and let out on no bail for other crimes like this?

234
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: There is a story that got picked up by the

235
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: big tabloids of the world, the Daily Mail, in the

236
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: New York Post because somebody on TikTok calling themselves nostalgic.

237
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 2: Angelino Cody nine O two one oher has a video

238
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 2: of a bunch of Beverly Hills retailers and restaurants that

239
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 2: have shut down and apparently not replaced by new businesses.

240
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: The Post story says Beverly Hills is becoming a ghost

241
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: town as high end retail stores exit the once luxurious

242
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: city near Los Angeles amid a spate of high end

243
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: smash and grab gang robberies, and there were some in

244
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills. Although when you go through this story in

245
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: the New York Post, this version, they seem to conflate

246
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: once again La with Beverly Hills. Remember a couple of

247
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: months ago the Daily Mail had that Holmost encampment that

248
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: they were declaring like Beverly Hills when.

249
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: It was yeah, El Beverly Hills adjacent.

250
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the Beverly Glen Beverly Center area.

251
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Right as that's what the realtors described.

252
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: But I haven't been to Beverly Hills in a while,

253
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: but it says there's empty locations for Chanel, write A,

254
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: Barnes and Noble, Nike.

255
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Town there is all I recognize those photos.

256
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: Oh you're doing restaurants like Chipotle and Starbucks shuttered too,

257
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 2: Is that right?

258
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's stuff closed, And it's a combination of a

259
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: lot of things. The crime, the pandemic, Amazon destroying the world.

260
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: Exactly, a lot of people just don't bother going in

261
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: the stores anymore, just shutter it online and get it delivered.

262
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: Being on the West Side and I'm funneling this for

263
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: my wife. She says, virtually every one of her friends

264
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: is afraid to go out at night. Most women do

265
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: not want to go. They don't want to go to dinner,

266
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: they don't want to go shopping. They certainly aren't going

267
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: to walk the street. There's nobody wearing any jewelry or

268
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: watches or anything at all. And she's my wife, says,

269
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: she calls people up and nobody wants to leave the house.

270
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to leave the house. Wow, No they don't.

271
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: It's like no joke. They really don't want to leave

272
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: the house because and looking at the next door app

273
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: there's so many bizarre incidents happening in daylight because the

274
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: drug addicts and the mental patients run free twenty four

275
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: hours a day, and so daytime can be just as

276
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: scary as nighttime because weird guys are stumbling around. They

277
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: see you, they follow you, they scream, they chase goes

278
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: on every day. I understand. I understand why people feel

279
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: that way, because you know, it's a biological response. It's responds,

280
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: it's flight or fight, you know. That's why that's why

281
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: I want to punch these these people who start prattling

282
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: statistics because I assume their statistics are lies to begin with.

283
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: But whether they're correct or not, it doesn't matter. There's

284
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: enough going on out there that people are doing what

285
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: feels like the right thing to do, which is a

286
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: void getting killed by lunatics.

287
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: There's an old expression for that. Perception is reality. Yeah,

288
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what reality is. That people perceive that

289
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: something's not safe, they're going to act accordingly. And the

290
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: Daily Mail story rip Beverly Hills startling video shots. Once

291
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: thriving shopping mecca is now a desolate wasteland. I don't

292
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: think any of this is a bit exaggerated, though.

293
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: Well, of course, because it's the Daily Mail and it's

294
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: a New York Post, right, there's always.

295
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: Turnover in stores everywhere, and the way the world has

296
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: changed with the pandemic there about robberies and homelessness.

297
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: Their business model is to make people in the lower

298
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: classes feel better about their lives. And the way a

299
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: lot of people feel better is to know that rich

300
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: people are getting whacked and that rich people are suffering,

301
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: and the rich people's stores and restaurants are being stormed

302
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: and closed. It makes it makes the lower classes feel

303
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: good it's just human nature. There's a tremendous amount of

304
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: class envy that goes on now.

305
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: Well, when we come out of hype it speaking of

306
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: how the media covers things, pretty good column by Joel Cottkin.

307
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: Of course, Joel's been on our show a number of

308
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: times over the years. He's an author and he chronicles

309
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: a lot about California over the years, and he did

310
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: a pretty good column recently on just what's happened to

311
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: journalism in today's world and the way they quote cover

312
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,360

00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

316
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: On the radio one to four after four I Heeart

317
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: app for the Johnny Cannon Demand podcast.

318
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: All right, coming up after three o'clock, we'll be talking

319
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: about the latest chapter and the battle over releasing more

320
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: prisoners in the state of California. The Criminal Justice Legal

321
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Foundation went to court a while back to stop the

322
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: Corrections Department from just releasing everybody based on Prop fifty seven.

323
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: They kind of felt like, well, let's just review everybody's

324
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: sentences and determined who's ready to be released. And as

325
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: we mentioned earlier in the show, we're now down to

326
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: ninety five thousand prisoners from a hive of one hundred

327
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: and sixty ten years ago. So this is another reason

328
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: why you're seeing more crime.

329
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: Everybody happy with that. You know what, we did this

330
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: to ourselves. We did this to ourselves because people do

331
00:16:54,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: not read these these what you call them, Biden, yes,

332
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: the ballot propositions. They don't read the ballot propositions. Somebody

333
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: give me my adderol shot, and they don't think through

334
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: what the consequences will be. They they just go ahead.

335
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: Third thing, they go by commercials and they were sold

336
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: at Billy Goods that this was going to save a

337
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: lot of money and everybody was going to get rehab

338
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: and everybody be great.

339
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: No intelligent person goes by a TV political commercial for anything.

340
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: Nobody intelligent does that. So it's on you. You have to

341
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: use your brain you have. You can never ever believe

342
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: what a politician tells you about one of these ballot propositions.

343
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: They lie to you constantly. They will always lie to you.

344
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: So the campaigns are lies. The TV and radio commercials

345
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: are lies. Generally, these propositions do the opposite of what

346
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: you think they're going to do.

347
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: All right, So we'll talk about this after three o'clock

348
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: with the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation because they brought a

349
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: lawsuit to court to try to stop the Corrections Department

350
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: from this releasing of so many prisoners based on nothing.

351
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: We'll get that after three o'clock. We do every now

352
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: and then read in cite to columns by Joel Katkin. Joel,

353
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: of course, has been on our show many times before.

354
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 2: He's an author. He does a lot of speaking on

355
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: California and its history. This one might not catch your

356
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: eye so much because it's got a weird termat it.

357
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: It's headlined the new Age of agitprop agit prop and

358
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: I looked it up. The technique of agitation and propaganda

359
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: used to influence and mobilize public opinion, and it was

360
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: common with the Soviet Union used to do it. They

361
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: used to do stories like this to try to curb

362
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: and shape people's opinions in favor of communism.

363
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: Especially in the new world of internet and social media.

364
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: This is going on constantly, and that first part of

365
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: that agitation, Agitation makes people emotionally upset. When you're emotionally upset,

366
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: it kind of blocks out your logic circuits. Nobody in

367
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: the history of mankind has ever said, Wow, you know what,

368
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: I got really angry and made a real smart decision.

369
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever said that, because that never happens. You get

370
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: really angry, you make a stupid decision, you get emotional,

371
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: you don't you're not thinking straight. And so that's the

372
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: purpose here is to get you agitated distracted, And that's

373
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: so much of what the media.

374
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 2: Is contin writes, The results for consumers have been disastrous.

375
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: In the new media world, all news coverage is geared

376
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 2: towards upholding pre established narratives. Actual reporting has become exceedingly rare.

377
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: A twenty nineteen report from the think tank RAND revealed

378
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 2: that journalism is steadily moving away from a fact based

379
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: model and towards one dominated by opinion. Just look any

380
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: day at the front page of the El Segundo Times.

381
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: All the stories now are what you will call agitprop.

382
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: They're all designed to get you agitated and pushing you

383
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: in a certain direction to view the world.

384
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: So the way to fight this is not to read it,

385
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: because it's not journalism, it is just agit props. I

386
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: like the.

387
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: Working class reporters, many with ties to local communities, have

388
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: been replaced by a more cosmopolitan and uniformly progressive breed

389
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: with college degrees at schools like Columbia. Aspiring journalists focus

390
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: less on the fundamentals reporting and more on openly advancing

391
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: a social justice agenda. Is that great?

392
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: Okay, it's clearly and they've been doing this for years,

393
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: so again, why read it? Why believe it? They're lying

394
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: to you, they're manipulating you. It's on purpose because these

395
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: so justice warriors, the organizations, the journalists, the politicians have

396
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: figured out that if you're relentlessly if you're relentlessly blasted

397
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: all day and night with a message, eventually it's going

398
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: to have influence on what you believe. It works well enough,

399
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: it does, and the only way is to turn it off,

400
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: saying you're discredited. I'm not going to believe you anymore.

401
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to read you, I'm not going to

402
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: listen anymore because you're trying to manipulate my mind. You're

403
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: no longer trying to inform me, and you got you know,

404
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: the only thing that keeps the Ala Times in business

405
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: is because Patrick soon Young is willing to lose fifty

406
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: million dollars a year on it. If it wasn't that

407
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: a billionaire own the place, it would have closed by now.

408
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: Same thing with the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos owns it,

409
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: and they have it as hood ornaments, shiny toys that

410
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: they could show off to people. But they're not businesses anymore,

411
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: and they don't do journalism anymore. So what are you

412
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: reading it for?

413
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: So he goes on to talk about it, and he says,

414
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: it happens on both sides of the aisle. You got

415
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: the progressive left wing media just pushing opinion and trying

416
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: to push you in a certain direction, what they call

417
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: political group think. And he says it happens on the

418
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: with right wing press as well, with all their stories

419
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: trying to get ginue up over Trump has been a

420
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: martyr and that the election was stolen from him and

421
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah. I mean, he attacks both.

422
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 2: He says, you know, one exception in often cases is

423
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal, which has been tough on Trump

424
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: and his supporters but is considered a conservative publication. But

425
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: he goes the rest just go way over the top

426
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: on the left and the right. So a lot of

427
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 2: what you're reading now is designed and is supposed to

428
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: manipulate you. And they can feel like they're supporting your opinion,

429
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: but they're not presenting fact anymore. They're just presenting opinion.

430
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: He says this is very true too with the way

431
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: they cover climate change, the Biden administration.

432
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Everything everything, everything is agendas everything, I mean, the climate thing,

433
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: the race stuff. Since George Floyd, I.

434
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: Like the way he writes this. Everyday weather reports become

435
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: revelations of apocalypse. This is even the case of the

436
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: scope of disasters is not appreciably greater than in the past.

437
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 2: And you know, you saw a little this recently with

438
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: that fizzle of a storm, that tropical storm Hillary that

439
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: came to the Times went to overdrive too, same thing,

440
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: too right, trying to get you to believe this is

441
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 2: all part of our problem with climate change and yes

442
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: we're not ready, and yeah, trying to get you agitated.

443
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: It's nonsense, It's complete nonsense. But the progressive infiltration of

444
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: science journalism, politics, people are surrounded and they start to

445
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: doubt themselves, saying, you know, I don't really see life,

446
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: the weather being any different than it used to be.

447
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: It's not really hotter than it used to be. What

448
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: is it a half a degree hotter, one degree hotter.

449
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: That's nothing significant, is it? Actually? And then the weather shifts.

450
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: Look how much rain we had, Look how much cool

451
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: weather we had for six or seven months during this

452
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: past winter.

453
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: Oh, that points out, like we've always pointed out, that

454
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: there's not enough record keeping to really know what's going on.

455
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: That honestly, that they just get everything from the current

456
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: weather and try to fire people up over it when

457
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 2: actually long, long term weather data is not really available.

458
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: Reliable global measurements did not exist prior to satellites. You know,

459
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: when the satellites went up round nineteen seventy nine, that's

460
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: when the weather satellites went up. That's when you could

461
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: start seeing satellite photographs on your local weather forecast. It

462
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: points out that nineteen thirties were hotter than now, the

463
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: dust Bowl era. It's true. If you look up, most

464
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: of the top records in the United States happened in

465
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties. We know that that the wildfires are

466
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: eighty percent caused by human beings, not by the climate,

467
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: And we had a climate scientist admit that he kept

468
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: that fact out of his latest research, because then he

469
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't get published, so you understand.

470
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 2: So he would get published and he did, and then

471
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: he pointed it out right.

472
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: This is all connected. This is all on purpose. You're

473
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: intentionally being fed false information, opinion disguised as fact. You're

474
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: being given propaganda adjut prop to agitate you, to distract you,

475
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: to make you believe things that aren't true.

476
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 2: All right, if you want to read that Joel Cotkins,

477
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: it's spiked online. And of course he's a presidential Fellow

00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 5: A six.

483
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: I got a new one for you. What is this

484
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: sappio sexual?

485
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: I looked that up the other day. We must have

486
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: seen the same story. Do they like syrup?

487
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: That's a good guest. Do they like syrup sap?

488
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: Do you get a tree's that's really sick. No, it's

489
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 1: it's people who are attracted to intelligence, regardless of the

490
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: sex of the person.

491
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: That is correct. In fact, the picture that I'm looking

492
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: at that comes with the definition the woman is actually

493
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: making out with a brain in her hand.

494
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: Kind of gross. What a brain?

495
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a cartoon, an actual Oh oh, it's a car.

496
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: It's a drawing. That's a drawing of a woman. You

497
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: got a brain in her hands. Sure, it says a

498
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: person that is sexually attracted to a highly intelligent people,

499
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: so much so they consider it to be the most

500
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: important right in a partner.

501
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: Ry. But so care what parts you have? Well, the

502
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: reason some of them do.

503
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: This came up, and I think you were looking at

504
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: the story that we're going to get to today. I

505
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: thought this was a hoax when I first read this,

506
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: and then I looked as a couple more articles, there's

507
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: a few people doing this. It's a new hip term

508
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: called hot bedding. And the woman they interviewed in Australia

509
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 2: that does this did describe herself as a sapiosexual, that

510
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: she's attracted to highly intelligent people. What we're talking about

511
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: here is people who rent out half their bed. Now

512
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: that got to do with the brain, Well, it's because

513
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: she says that most people that she would rent out

514
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 2: the other half of the bed to are probably not

515
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: in her class of attraction being really brilliant or highly intelligent,

516
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: so she doesn't have the horny pro John, I guess

517
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: where you know? Oh, I drink her too, and anybody

518
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: looks good. You know how some people.

519
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: Are right right?

520
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 2: She is very, very, very selective, So therefore she can

521
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: let a stranger sleep in the other half of her

522
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: bed and there'll be no feelings on her side. Of course,

523
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 2: it says you have to have ground rules because it

524
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 2: could be that the horny guy hops in your bed

525
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 2: and thinks.

526
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he's not going to have the same condition

527
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: that she does.

528
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: Well, so far, she's claiming she's making six hundred dollars

529
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: a month in extra money. Her ex boyfriend left her,

530
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 2: so she now has a large bed and half of

531
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: it's open and she rents it out to uh people

532
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: who respond to her ad. I want to say this though,

533
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: this is not the way it's done in most circumstances

534
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: with hot bedding. Most of the time, what people do

535
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 2: with I even hate the term hot bedding is you

536
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: sleep in shifts. So let's say you have a night job,

537
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: so you sleep during the day. Then you'll let somebody

538
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: use your bed so they can sleep overnight. You come

539
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: back in the morning and you get the bed to yourself.

540
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 2: I think you'd want to change the sheets though, when.

541
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: You going to ask you that? Yeah, yeah, there's a

542
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: lot of sheet changing going on.

543
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, this woman said at the start of COVID, I

544
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: suddenly found myself single. This is the woman in Australia,

545
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: New Zealand. My thriving business of an international education agency

546
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: and student accommodation to collapse overnight, and my teaching career

547
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: became unfulfilling as education went online. So she came up

548
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: with this as another means to make money to rent

549
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: out half of her bed to a perfect stranger. But

550
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 2: it looks like in this case it's they sleep at

551
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: the same time overnight.

552
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's really good looking, though I can't believe she

553
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: doesn't run into all kinds of trouble. In fact, she

554
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: had some she Yeah, she had this. She had this

555
00:29:55,040 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: odd business called Diversity Models, specializing and providing curvy, cultural,

556
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: mature aged models for businesses. Eh, sounds a little prostitutious.

557
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. And I'm looking at

558
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: her and she's got a very curvy figure and she's

559
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: very pretty.

560
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: So she's taking a chance here that somebody's not gonna

561
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: Guys can't be tamed.

562
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: You.

563
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: Hot bedding is excellent for people who are able to

564
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: detach emotionally and see next to each other.

565
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: Hold on, am I wrong? Who are you asking you?

566
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: Since you you're the other one that cackled.

567
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 8: Okay, well you can't control yourself. I mean seriously, if

568
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 8: you're if you're one of these people that's renting this

569
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 8: lady's bed and she says hands off and no spooning,

570
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 8: and don't get any ideas you couldn't control yourself.

571
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: Well, every guy's gonna have ideas. Yeah, so, and some

572
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: of them will give it a shot. I mean, if

573
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: you if you want to put up with that, But yeah,

574
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: of course they're going to give it a shot. They

575
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: act out in their sleepy They can't help. Nobody's gonna

576
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: believe her. Everybody gonna is gonna think, well, this is

577
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: just her act, and actually you know this is her.

578
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 8: But that's like when a woman says no, but then

582
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,400

00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Well guys don't. But I'm saying guys are like that,
