1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: I find a really cool animal story, a happy one. No,

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: what do you mean? No? Right, he made Vito this

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: not not? I mean not whenever we get time. Yeah,

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: have you heard about the tortoise? Maybe you've already heard

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: about it. I have not. Noah, have you heard about

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: the tortoise? I don't think so. Oh, this is a

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: happy tortoise story. Did it get run over by a

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: big truck? No, it couldn't cross the street in time. Okay,

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to believe happy tortoise story. What's happened to you? No,

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm because I'm just really I'm really fascinated with this

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: particular all right, we'll give you time for your tortoise

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: story to make the little news girl happy. Steve Gregory's

Speaker 1: the hour of candidates, or it could be the hour

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: of happy animal stories. I don't know. Should we do that?

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: One day? Are styled a rabbit, and they loved the rabbit.

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: One eight hundred and five to zero, one, five, three four.

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: You'll get thirty seconds to tell us what you're running

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: for and why people should elect you in the five

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. All right, now, we're gonna talk to Steve Gregory.

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: He's done one of his ride alongs the La Sheriff's

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Department Transit Bureau the first day of their new armed

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: deployment of deputies on the Metro. So he has spent

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the day on this story and we'll

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: find out what he learned. Steve. Hey, guys, Yeah, how

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: are you doing. We're good. We're doing all right. Sound

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: like you're still on a train. Yeah, you know, I'm

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: still down in East LA area. And this has been

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting assignment. We started at five thirty

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: this morning when he started on the gold Line Irwin

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: Dale down the Union station, and then then we went

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: from there to South LA it's the Rosa Park Station, Willowbrook,

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: and then went on down to Long Beach and we

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: did round trips on both of those and then we've

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: been talking to officials and passengers along the way. And

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: let me give you an idea of why this operation

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Safe Travel is so. And for instance, in twenty twenty

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: one they had forty seven total violent crimes and in

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two ninety four violent crimes, one hundred percent

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: increase over this time last year, two hundred percent increase

41
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: in rapes alone, true, and and so they they've got

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: they've got a problem on the trains. And as you

43
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: saw on the videotape, the videotape that Metro didn't want

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: anyone to see, you can see that there is a problem.

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: There's an issue. So we spend our time this morning

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: watching this beefed up patrol of armed deputies and a

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: lot of big uniform presents, and they doubled the deputy saturation.

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: And that's what we were covering today. Oh okay, so

49
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: there's nothing to do with trying to I'll shore the

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: homeless out of the trains and buses. It is, That's

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. But today it's starting. It's a

52
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: two pronged approach, or as they call it the buzzword, multilayered.

53
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: But basically, on one hand, they're trying to reassure riders

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: that the Metro is safe and at least in the

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: jurisdiction of the Sheriff's Department with the presence of armed

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: deputies and uniform deputies. But at the same time they've

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: brought in two teams of their mental evaluation unit, both

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: from the Transit Mental Evaluation and then the Sheriff's Department's

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: mental evaluation. The same group that helped clean up Venis Beach,

60
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: So they brought them in to handle the more than

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: fifty seven hundred homeless people living on the trains, platforms

62
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: and buses. And so simultaneously, while there's this effort underway

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: to do a public campaign of reassuring the riders and

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: a deterrent for would be robbers and criminals, they're also

65
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: removing the homeless from the trains. So what did you

66
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: see today that you can report that? Ye, two steps

67
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: into the first train today, guy passed out on the

68
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: floor right in the middle of the train. And we

69
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: were with a sergeant today, and the sergeant we walked

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: on board and first thing you see right there, guys

71
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: passed out laying down. Everyone sitting around him, staring straight ahead.

72
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: They don't want to get involved. They don't want to

73
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: get engaged. And I asked the sergeant about that. I said,

74
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: is this common? Is this typical? He says, yeah. People

75
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: just want to mind their own business. They don't want

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: to get involved at all anymore. People won't even lend assistance.

77
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: So the sergeant reaches down, tries to get this guy

78
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: to wake up. He eventually wakes up, but he looks

79
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: either like he's plastered drunk or he's high on something

80
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: gets him to sit back up on his seat and

81
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: at one point he almost fell out of his seat again.

82
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: So that was kind of our first two minutes on

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: the train going down to Union Station. Would you say

84
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: this is unhoused individual or not? You don't know, Yes,

85
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: very unhoused. And then as we get down to Union Station,

86
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: when we get off and we're going to get to

87
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: the other train, we go down the big staircase there

88
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: coming off the platform and we just look over to

89
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: the right and there's this man standing there with his

90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: sweats down at his ankles and all his glory hanging out,

91
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: and he's just about to cop a squat. And the

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: star sergeant goes over and says, by the way, I

93
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: think I have all this on audio, which will probably

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: have ready for you tomorrow. The extant, well, we had

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: to be careful on the photo side because it's still

96
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: Metro property, so we have to be very cautious, and

97
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: we do have our We had our photographer with us today, Mark,

98
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: and so he's putting his photos together, but we have

99
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: to go through and blur all the faces in order

100
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: for it to stay up and up. But um, so

101
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: this guy, and the sergeant says, what are you doing us? Well,

102
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, I got to go to the bathroom, he says,

103
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm about to ask my pants. And so at that point,

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: the guys, you can't do that here. You got to

105
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom, he says. And then by that time,

106
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: he says, at least pull your pants up. At least

107
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: pull your pants up. He had no underwear, just the sweats,

108
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: and so he's just standing there and then he's so,

109
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm about to ask my pants, and guys, well, you're

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to pull up your pants. You got to go.

111
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: And so we stood there and waited for him to

112
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: pull up his pants and then walk down the hall

113
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: to find about him. And I looked at the sergeant

114
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: and I said, now, at what point do you intervene?

115
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Because I said he was about to sit there and

116
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: do his business. I said, what makes you think he's

117
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: not going to go to the other side and do

118
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: his business over there? And he goes, he might very

119
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: well do that, but he says, you know, we can't

120
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: be everywhere at once. We have to try to do

121
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: the best we can. And he said, and besides, he said,

122
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: he's not violating one of the rules of that the

123
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: sheriff's department's necessarily in charge of. That's one of those

124
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: sort of huge what women what wait, what would what

125
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: do you mean? He's not violating the rules at point?

126
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: Taking a dump is not in a rule violation, not

127
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: in the sheriff's thing, right right, that falls under the

128
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: purview of the Metro security, the unarmed security. Wait wait, wait,

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: this is well, Joey's not assaulting anybody. Way to say.

130
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: He can squat as if he is going to drop one,

131
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: and the sheriff's deputy can stop him, but if it

132
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: comes flying out, you got to get a Metro security

133
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: to it's his jurisdiction. The actual poop is Metro jurisdiction. Yes,

134
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: they're in charge of p and poopy. Okay, well that's

135
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: really dirty duty. So how do you think this w

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: Steven and spending this day with these transit zuo sure statuties. Well,

137
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: ken um, they're gonna do this this uh beeft up

138
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: saturation for thirty days. They're gonna reassess. Now mind you,

139
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: this additional additional deployment is not coming out of the

140
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: Metro's budget. This is something the sheriff's doing on his own,

141
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: so he's doubling the deputy. So they'll have upwards of

142
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four deputies now where they would

143
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: only have forty four for instance, during the day. So, um,

144
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna do this for thirty days and then they're

145
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna reassess. They're gonna they've been talking with passengers and

146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna look at crime stats. If they see improvement,

147
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: then this is going to perhaps be a model moving forward.

148
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: But this is really in defiance of Metro's rules and

149
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: rags because they don't want them engaging, they don't want

150
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: them arresting, they don't want them intervening, and the Sheriff's

151
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Department's like, you know, it's time for us to get

152
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: back into the law enforcement business. So that's that was

153
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: the impetus for Operation Safe Travel, right, But Vinueva has

154
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: a contract now for a year. Right. Here's the interesting thing.

155
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: So remember he was going to pull out on July first,

156
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: and he said, if you don't give us one of

157
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: the contract, we're pulling out. Well, they came back and said, listen,

158
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: we're going to extend your contract by six months so

159
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: we can work through a deal six So now they're

160
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: going to do a six month extension on the current contract,

161
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: and that gives them some breathing room to figure it out.

162
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what I really think the Metro

163
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: Board is doing. They want to wait and see what

164
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: happens tomorrow night. Oh the election, yes, oh, I see, yeah,

165
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised Iueva doesn't make the top two, but

166
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, stranger things have happened. Well, now he'll make

167
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: the top two, you know. But I think the I

168
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: think the plan is and this is what others are

169
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: telling me, critics are telling me. He is that if

170
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, if he does not win the primary tomorrow,

171
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: then the Metro Board will be one of many agencies

172
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: that will work tirelessly to make sure he doesn't win

173
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: the general. Oh but if he does win, out right,

174
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: they have to deal with them for another four years

175
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: because the Metro Board doesn't want sheriff's deputies picking up

176
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: drunks who pass out on the floor, and they don't

177
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: want the deputy stopping guys who are squatting and about

178
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: to take a dump. They'd like all that behavior to continue, right,

179
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: So I remember there's more than fifty seven homeless right

180
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: now in the system, and the sheriff says he wants

181
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: to get them all off the system and get him

182
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: into other housing, but he says there's there's no place

183
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: for them in the Metro system. Yeah, well we agree,

184
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: all right, Steve, thanks for that report by guys Hi.

185
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Steve did a ride along today with the LA Sheriff's

186
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: Department's Transit Bureau. This is their first day of their

187
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: new arm deployment at deb He's on Metro to try

188
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: to make the writers feel safer. Probably the hopeless assignments

189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: every day. There's something that you just cannot believe that

190
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: you'd never considered. You never considered that you'd end up

191
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: with a policy where there's one jurisdiction when the guy

192
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: is squatting to take a dump, and then there's another

193
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: jurisdiction to deal with the dump. Yes, because the dump

194
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: is probably some sort of more civil violation, and the

195
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: deputies are there to make sure you're not going to

196
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: stab somebody or sexually, I don't know. All right, Great,

197
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: it's double Deborah Mark time here. Oh wait, give her

198
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: a chance to get back in the back. In the

199
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: hot seat. Are used to looking at her on a monitor?

200
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Are you looking at her through a window monitor? We're

201
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: all staring at each other on screens. Devor report to duty. Well,

202
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: I want you to do the tortoise story, but I

203
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: wanted to tell her first. What that No, Well, since

204
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: you had a interest in this topic and expressed a viewpoint.

205
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: I traveled all the way across the country on several

206
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: flights over the weekend and not a lot of masks.

207
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: Did you wear a mask? Did not? You didn't? All right,

208
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: let me put it this way. The overnight flight I

209
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: took on Thursday night, I did, but then I fell

210
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: asleep and I woke up and I felt like I

211
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: was suffocating. So I took it off, and after looking around,

212
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: it is monkey. You see, monkey, do ninety percent of

213
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: the flight we're not wearing masks. You could. You could

214
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: have inhaled that mask and died. In fact, walking around Lax,

215
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: more than half the people were not wearing mask and

216
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: they're supposed to around the airport terminal. Did you have

217
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: anybody on your plane that was hacking away as I did? No?

218
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: I did not, really, And the pilot made an announcement

219
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: that mass or option will do what you want on

220
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: both the flight. So there you go, and I got

221
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: to the it was a Virginia. Nobody the Southern States

222
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: screwed that. I was actually in Florida briefly to nobody.

223
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: But isn't it amazing the three of us. I mean,

224
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: I shouldn't jink this, but we have not gotten COVID

225
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: that we know of. I'm gonna get you mad again,

226
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: but I'm not confident about that. I've had a couple

227
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: of weird little coals that just came and went, and

228
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: I didn't bother to be tested. So what all right,

229
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna blame me for spreading the Oh no, no, no,

230
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean obviously it wasn't anything major. I had a

231
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: couple of colds too. Yeah, I know it's not a

232
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. His voice was hoarse, and I thought,

233
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: maybe you know. But he didn't get tested either, did you? No,

234
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: it went away in a couple of days. Well, I've

235
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: had those colds and I have gotten tested, and I've

236
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: been negative. All right, So the next time Johnny sound

237
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: a little off anal swab time, Well, I mean, if

238
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: I could get that, I'd be testing myself every week.

239
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: All right, so tell us the happy animal story. All right, preacher,

240
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you call a tortoise. It's

241
00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: a category. It's a reptile, isn't it. Yeah, I think so. Um. Well,

242
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: this was in Rio de Janeiro, Manuela the tortoise. They

243
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: thought Manuela originally was a was a girl. Tortoise's note.

244
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: I thought manuel as the boy and manuel as the girl. Well,

245
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: all right, maybe he, you know, reidentified himself. Oh, Manuela

246
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: disappeared one day thirty years ago. They ran off, so

247
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: to speak. There, waddled away the house was undergoing electrical work,

248
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: and never came back, and the whole family realized, well,

249
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: I guess that's it. Something something happened, either wandered off

250
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: permanently or just passed on. They didn't think about Manuela

251
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: much until thirty years later. Thirty years, thirty years later. Yeah,

252
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: finally they describe it as the family patriarch. So I

253
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: guess Grandpa died and while cleaning out his belongings, they

254
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: went into the attic of the house and there, in

255
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: an old wooden speaker box, there was Manuela. Why she

256
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: was alive and healthy after thirty years tortoise eat yea tortoise.

257
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: Tortoises can go between six months and three years without food.

258
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: Thirty years, buddy, you said thirty. They think Manuela eight

259
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: termite larva and since there wasn't much water around, she

260
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: got her moisture from the termites as well, you know

261
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: the termites. Yeah, um was it was it underweight at

262
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: least through Um it was in good condition. I mean

263
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: I always forget it's a tortoise. The big one are

264
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: just a regular size thing. They can be really a

265
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: big one. Yeah. They're the ones that they can live

266
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: on land because turtles you have to have in water. Yeah, yeah, okay, Um,

267
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: So they took Manuela for a check up and found

268
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: out she's actually male and she's still he is still healthy, uh,

269
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: and is just living a normal life. They can live

270
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: quite a few years, right. I think this story says

271
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: they can live to two hundred and fifty five What well,

272
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I was going to say one hundred, but two fifty

273
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: five thirty years is nothing. That's unbelievable. I can't. Yeah,

274
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: as you were going through the story, I was thinking,

275
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: because maybe somebody founded him, thinking how did they know

276
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: as Manuela? But that was in the grandfather's box in

277
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: the attic or whatever. He sat in the box, and

278
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: he was perfectly happy by himself eating what I think

279
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Grandpa was doing. He put the tortoise in a box

280
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: one day and left him somewhere, and they all thought

281
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: it was just grandpa's old stuff that he put it

282
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: up in the attic. I don't know. Maybe the tortoise

283
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: climbed into the box. How would the tortoise get all

284
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: the way up to the attic. Yeah, that's a slow

285
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: ascent years to get up the stairs. And he was

286
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: so tired, I'm just gonna sit in this box for

287
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: a while. Insert slow poke joke here. That is pretty remarkable,

288
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: that story story that is. Look at that John smiling,

289
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: he's still I'll stop that now. That's right. Let's not

290
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: get out of hand here. They took the tortoise back

291
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: to the house and crawled out the next day got

292
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: run over in the of spin. Good to see you

293
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: after thirty years. But it was brief. That's that's Ken

294
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: reading fairy tales a little bit. Think he's changed. He's

295
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: correcting me on the air rather than what that one just.

296
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: It bothered him that people might believe the tortoise got

297
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: run over well, he's an animal lover. I mean, even

298
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: though he's a crazy, cuddles up with the dog at night. No,

299
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: the dog has a sting to him. I can't do that.

300
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: Uh the WILLI had dozens of animals over the years.

301
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: You didn't have a to You didn't embrace them like

302
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: your children did. Oh but I was around you with

303
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: the cats. You could give a damn. Well the cat

304
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: could give a damn about me. Well, cat, the cat

00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: A dog cat suck. Ye. Debrah has two dogs. She

320
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,280

322
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: powerful KFI, and get there make their pitch for why

323
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: they should be elected to whatever it is they're running for.

324
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: We'll do this as long as there's calls, or until

325
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: we tire, which happens until we need a Biden nap. Yes,

326
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,239

Speaker 1: on any time he wants, for as long as he

338
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: wants that's true, and you've been checking around making sure

339
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: it's not sneaking back. Oh did I tell you about

340
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: looking down the block? Remember you gave me a tip

341
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: the other day that somebody had emailed you and said, right,

342
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: some street that has a coffee shop on it. That well,

343
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: few tents the main drag is is sam Vacante. That's

344
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: where the old encampment was and in the business district. Yeah,

345
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: there was. There were there's two, two tents. I saw it.

346
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: It's away from sam Vocente. It's sound Barrington Avenue to

347
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: the south a little bit sounds like that, Mars the

348
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: picture you showed me. It's fun. Yeah. It was in

349
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: front of a small business building that had I think

350
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: two businesses and they were both out of business, so

351
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: it was a good a good place to set up.

352
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: And they were on the sidewalk and on the grass

353
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: area there they had sleeping bags. So I did see

354
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: an encroachment and nobody had done anything. I went there

355
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: a couple of days after you told me about it. It

356
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: It was still there. Well, people A couple of people

357
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: emailed to say that they may have done a little

358
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: cleaning up and down town down Los Angeles and preparation

359
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: for today because today and if you haven't heard of this,

360
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: it's no wonder. It has not been in the United

361
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: States since nineteen ninety four when it took place in Miami.

362
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: It's the Summit of America's so they're inviting the leaders

363
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: from North America and South America, Central America to come

364
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: together to discuss and do economic issues, immigration, global warming,

365
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: human rights. Oh wait, another gathering of world leaders to

366
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: talk about global warming. That's just one of the topics.

367
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: It's not a climate summit. It hasn't all been said yet. Boy,

368
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: is this a gas bag festival or what? There was

369
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: a story about a month ago that they were that,

370
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Scarciti's like the ring leader here, that

371
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: we're going to be They were nervous about this because

372
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: apparently some countries were saying, we're not coming, we're not interested.

373
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to turnout is the Mexican

374
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: president is not coming. That's am Low andres Manuel Lopez

375
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: opened the door because Biden didn't invite Cuban, Nicaragua, and

376
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: Venezuela to the summit. Well, Biden doesn't want to recognize

377
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: the the communist socialist leaders. Yeah, I kind of agree

378
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: with him, right, So offended Lopez open door, he won't

379
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: come because I guess secretly he is one of those

380
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: or he wants to sell stuff to those countries. This

381
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: is mostly at the convention center because it's such a

382
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: snooze fest of a story. The only thing the media

383
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: is covering is traffic. It's going to create traffic delays. Apparently, John,

384
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: your friend is already there, Kamala Harris. That's why she's

385
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: him down because I was getting traffic warnings for my

386
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: neighborhood because she lives there and I was entering in

387
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: and out. She's gonna so she's commuting from home to

388
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: probably have beyond special panels to discuss. She was so

389
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: good with the immigration issue. Yeah, did she get the

390
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: root cause of illegal immigration? I forgot she was that

391
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: she was deputized to find the root causes. Know that

392
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: people are poor, you gotta I think that's kind of it.

393
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: That's what she discovered. That they're poor, they want better jobs.

394
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: I think that's so then the answers, let's give them

395
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in aid and then the government suck

396
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: it up in corruption. So there could be other countries

397
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: that cancel because the communist nations aren't allowed to come.

398
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: And oh, they're gonna have discussion panels. Yeah, this is

399
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: what I thought, discussion. Oh goody. It's a lot of

400
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: blah blah. This is the part we're usually say, will

401
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: they be hookers nearby? Oh, they'll be hookers nearby? Well,

402
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna fly all this way to sit

403
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: and listen to these other blowhards prattle on about economic

404
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: issues and in climate and blah blah blah. You know

405
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: things that they don't understand that they can't they can't think.

406
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: They can't fix it any problems. They can't fix a tire.

407
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: I be just what a fake world they all live in.

408
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,239
Speaker 1: How much money are they spending? By the way, how

409
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: am I a much greenhouse? Gas are they blowing out there?

410
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: How many private planes are showing up here? Um? People

411
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: in downtown LA are already complaining because they're closing off

412
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: a number of streets. It's not so much the freeway,

413
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: but it's some of the downtown exits. They're also complaining. Oh,

414
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: dear heavens, they might be blocking the voting uh centers.

415
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: Good people in living downtown shouldn't be allowed to vote.

416
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: Now Biden's supposed to come. All I heard is he's

417
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday night, which will bring him to Hollywood.

418
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh you know what's you know what's gonna suck about that?

419
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean and and it used to be

420
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: a bumbling boob like Joe Biden would be nothing. He

421
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: would be just mercilessly mocked for being a boot right. Instead,

422
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna watch Jimmy Kimmel kiss his ass. I mean, oh,

423
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel will be definitely. Oh, he's gonna be. He's

424
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna pretend that he's not talking to a nearly eighty

425
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: year old senile guy who has country just about every

426
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: major issue. You don't think he'll be an inflation question

427
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: or a gas price question, especially from a guy based

428
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: in La. Yeah, it'll yeah, it'll be worded very very

429
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: gently and benignly. And then then Biden'll go on a

430
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: two and a half minute filibuster and blame everybody else

431
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: for it. But it's gonna be. It's gonna be the

432
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: putin inflation. It's gonna be corporate greed inflation. I wouldn't

433
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: be surprised. I mean, it is a dopey nighttime talk show.

434
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: It'll be more like, what's it like living in the

435
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: White House? Is it different than Delaware? And give me

436
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: your thoughts. He'll have prescripted lines on qute cards in

437
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: very large print, So Kim will be softball. I don't

438
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: think he'll be asked anything that requires it will just

439
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: be no, no's the bicycle riding. But Kim will set

440
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: up a questions so he could read his joke. Oh,

441
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: I see, that's that's what's that's what they do. They

442
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: come up with prepared jokes. Uh, and and you just

443
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: you just got to have the set up. If I

444
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: was doing the interview, the first thing I would say

445
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: was let's go Brandon watch Fall for that one like

446
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: he did, and he might say, I agree. Yeah, So

447
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: this is really just going to be a lot of

448
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: hot air. But it's going on all five days this week,

449
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: so it's gonna just tie up. It's gonna tie up traffic.

450
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna tie up traffic. Leaders something to do, so

451
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: they send there. I've never heard of this. They've had

452
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: this going on for twenty eight years. First I started

453
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: doing the Clinton administration. Oh of course he loved that.

454
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,760

Speaker 1: I mean TMZ really does. I guess they kind of

496
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: beat them out, but Radar Online is still out there

497
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: and they have an exclusive and here's the headline, drugged

498
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: up Hunter Biden points illegally obtained thirty eight caliber gun

499
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: as he's caught fooling around with a prostitute in newly

500
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: leaked tape. Can't want to see this, huh, But I

501
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: want to see this. There's photos, they're still shots. They

502
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: haven't leaked the tape yet for the bubble. Oh okay, yeah, guy,

503
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: I went looking for it. You did you really want

504
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: to see him naked with a gun, the naked gun? Yes,

505
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: I do. If there is, If there's tape of Hunter

506
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: Biden naked with a gun and a hooker, I want

507
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: to watch that for a few minutes. Now. This supposedly

508
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: came from his cell phone, not from his laptop that

509
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: he left at the repair shop. Is that the understanding? Yeah? Um,

510
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it's part of the investigation. Oh,

511
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: they're look, they're looking into, um, you know, all his

512
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: illegal activities. It's a lot of tax issues, so I

513
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: think they might steals. They might have subpoenaed the the

514
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: phone and then somebody leaked all this guy. Look at

515
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: this man, there has nothing to do with the case. Yeah,

516
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: so what look this, he's nude with a gun. Yeah,

517
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: is that his gun? Is he happy to see us?

518
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: In two separate photos because the photos have gotten loose,

519
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: you can see a hunter with one hand on the

520
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: trigger of the gun and his other hand cupping his pelvis, well,

521
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: his penis and pelvic area. Hmm. In the third amage,

522
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: now he feels like a real man, doesn't he. The

523
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: remnants of what appears to be crack cocaine can be

524
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: seen on a plate alongside used and packeted condoms. Along

525
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: so used condoms and a plate paraphernalia in a spoon

526
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: to believe to be used to smoke the illicit drug.

527
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: Now he's by the way, this is October seventeen, twenty eighteen.

528
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: This video comes from Well he I had bought a

529
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 1: gun illegally, and the reason it was illegal is he

530
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: never disclosed that he had a drug problem. Wait a minute,

531
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: the son of the president purchased a gun illegally. Yeah,

532
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: so this is a major scandal Biden's gun conpecially now

533
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: after the mass shootings and a call for gun control. Yeah,

534
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: he can't even control his own family. Gun control needs

535
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: to start in Biden's family. So they got the information

536
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: from Hunter's iPhone after it was shopped for sale. Oh,

537
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: there were twelve days of madness during which the Biden

538
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: family tried to dispose of the illegally obtained weapon on

539
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: the streets of Wilmington, Delaware, across the street from a

540
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: high school. Did they put it in a garbage can

541
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: or something? Didn't they that's where it ended up? Or um? Wow? Yeah?

542
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: Apparent by the way, he was dumped from the military

543
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: for drug use, so this is not surprising that he

544
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: still hooked. You know. Uh, his ex wife is writing

545
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: a has written a memoir which is going to be

546
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: released in a few days. I've seen a couple of

547
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: advanced stories, right, and at one point she took his

548
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: gun and threw it in the garbage of a supermarket.

549
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there it is eleven days after Hunter illegally

550
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: purchased the weapon his lover Halle, the widow of his

551
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: late brother Bow. Oh, yeah it was it was. Yeah,

552
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: it's right, he was. She threw the gun into a

553
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: supermarket garbage can, triggering a secret service FBI in Delaware

554
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: State police investigation, but nobody was ever charged her. Yeah,

555
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't his wife, It was Bob Biden's former wife

556
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: Halle the widow, and Hunter was carrying on with her.

557
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: Oh man, and I think he was married at the time. Boy,

558
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: if he had a baby with her, how do you

559
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: explain that since the baby would have different fathers but

560
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: the fathers are brothers. Yeah, it wouldn't that be weird?

561
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: And then you have all that Joe Biden DNA in there. No, man,

562
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: I think Joe was home when not a joke. Not

563
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: a joke. Not a joke and the league. Text messages

564
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen, Hunter said the FBI had gotten involved

565
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: in the case. She stole the gun out of my

566
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: trunk lockbox and threw it in a garbage can, then

567
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: told me it was my problem to deal with. Then

568
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: the police and the FBI and the Secret Service came

569
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: on the scene. She said he took She took it

570
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: from me because she was scared I would harm myself

571
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: due to my drug and alcohol problems and our volatile relationship.

572
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Here's another text message. I freaked, This is Hunter. I

573
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: freaked when I saw it was missing ten minutes after

574
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: she took it, and when she went back to get it,

575
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: I scared the s out of her it was gone,

576
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: which led the state police investigation of me, true story

577
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: may sense, just like his dad, And his dad goes like,

578
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: no joke, did say? True story? True story? Right? Not

579
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: a joke, says his father. Yeah, that's the same kind

580
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, I know, really, I'm not making this up. Wow,

581
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: that's a really bizarre. Yeah. But this guy's making eighty

582
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars a month with the Ukrainian gas utility. Yeah,

583
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean he is a private citizen. But honestly, the

584
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: way the media covered the Trump adult children, I don't

585
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: don't touch this and the Trump kids including the laptop itself,

586
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: which they thought was a Russian ploy, And the Trump

587
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: kids never did anything like this, right, and why not

588
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: this wild? No? No, no, no. I think they'll always

589
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: suspected of being involved in illegal business dealings, but not

590
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: posing nude with a gun with drugs around. I don't

591
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: recall that Donald Trump Junior shoots up all those There's

592
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: another story that Hunter of course has that loved child

593
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: with the stripper. Yeah, there's that, and that Joe does

594
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 1: not want to give the stripper and the child some

595
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: Secret Service protection because supposedly they've been under some kind

596
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: of threats from someone crazy boyfriend that that is tough

597
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: to justify spending tax money that is his grandchild, though,

598
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: whether he likes it or not. That's my favorite story

599
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: when Hunter Biden said, oh yeah, prove it, I'll do

600
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: a DNA test, and because he was probably so drunk

601
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: down he didn't remember that impregnated. You know, double digits

602
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: i Q seemed to be common in the family. All right,

603
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: here we go, are we ready for this? So we
