1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: All right, One of the lead stories is that the 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: La City Council will not meet tomorrow. They're given up 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: in face of the protest because they still have two 4 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: council people that have not resigned. We never got to 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: bide inflation. We'll get to that report at five or five. 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: The latest inflation numbers. They're not good. And this is 7 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: pretty much the last report before the vote on November eighth, 8 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't pretty So a lot of Congress people should pack 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: up now and get ahead, start and more proof that 10 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: locking the students down because of COVID for like a 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: year or two was a really dumb idea. But right 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: now we're going to bring on um well, a member 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: of the law firm, Manly Stewart and finaldi it's a 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: Morgan Stewart to tell us about this horrific story involving 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: the La Unified School District and a wrestling coach by 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: the name of Terry Gillard. There is a settlement of 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars on behalf of fifteen victims who 18 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: suffered sexual abuse at the hands of this wrestling coach. 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: But there's a lot more to the story. That's just 20 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: it's just polytechnic high school. And let's get we got 21 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: John Manley on. Oh, well you got Morgan Stewart on. Well, 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: they put John Manley's name up there. It says Morgan 23 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: Stewart on our sheet there John John Morgan, welcome. We 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: enjoy having you on the show too. Yes, so I 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: appreciate it. What can you tell us about this? Another 26 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: horrific tale of sex abuse? And have the school UH 27 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: or the school district messed up on this? Well, yeah, 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean this case we I think we talked about 29 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: it before. This is a wrestling coach who was at 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: John Francis Polytechnic High School in the Valley for four years, 31 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: year after year, abused his wrestling UH athletes, both by 32 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: direct sexual abuse and by directing them to have sex 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: with one another while he observed. Guy ended up in 34 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: prison where he belongs. But you know, just importantly la 35 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: Usd's involvement in the power ups and the failures to 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: stop this guy were just year after year compounded to 37 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: the point where we you know, we've got the principal 38 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: who was the principal at Polytechnic now has another sex 39 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: abuse scandal going on at his current high school, Birmingham 40 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: Community Charter with a trainer, So you know, you got 41 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: a pattern there that you got to look at and 42 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: figure out what you did wrong and why you continue 43 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: to do it. You wonder when when somebody has repeated 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: sex abuse scandals under their watch, you wonder what's really 45 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: going on? I mean you because most people I know 46 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: would be disgusted to find out that someone they were 47 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: employing was a sex abuser of children, let alone have 48 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: it happened a second time. Now, I'm starting to get suspicious. Yeah, 49 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know this, we you know, we told 50 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: talked about this before. This principle had his own issues 51 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: going on at the same time that Terry Gillard was 52 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: abusing kids on his campus. Multiple reports an investigation of 53 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: this by the school district of Terry Gillard for propositioning 54 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: another staff member for sex by offering her money, and 55 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: yet they did a flawed investigation, an investigation they admitted 56 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: was flawed, an investigation that they admitted they were incapable 57 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: of doing appropriately, and yet they led him back on campus. 58 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean that that is what you know the people 59 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: of La have for their school district. And yeah, yeah, 60 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: the press release from your firm says this would be 61 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: LAUSD's student safety investigation team and an investigator believed that 62 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: Gillard was lying when he denied sexual misconduct back in 63 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. But you're the law firm, wrote in the 64 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: press release, the investigator was not permitted to relay that 65 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: information to administrators who were deciding whether or not to 66 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: allow this guy back on a campus. How does how 67 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: did that happen? Hey, advocate, you believe those facts that 68 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: that is the reality of how LAUSD basically have put 69 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: up a PR front. We're you know, we're going to 70 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: investigate these allegations against teachers, and then they hired former investigators. 71 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: But the investigators aren't allowed to determine credibility of those 72 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: who they investigate. Who start allowed to report? Who are 73 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: the people who stopping well, who stops the investigator from 74 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: reporting it? The administrations built it in. That's the way 75 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: they built the the the investigative team. There's no point 76 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: to their investigation. It's just a PR stunts the show, 77 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: I see, right, and nobody and nobody wants to blow 78 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: the whistle on this stuff. In the moment nobody says 79 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: they'll screw you. You know, I'm going to call up KFI. 80 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to call up the Times, and I'm going 81 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: to spill the story. Have you hung out with the 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: members of the of LAUSD. I mean you just mentioned 83 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: Nouri Martinez was the board member who oversaw Polytechnic High 84 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: School as an LAUSD board member. Is the quality? That's 85 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: the quality of what you're looking at in terms of 86 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: the staff. I mean, you know she was embroiled in 87 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: in the telfare scandal and whether or not that was 88 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: covered up. I mean, this is this is endemic to 89 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: the school system. The superintendent needs to be held accountable 90 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: to these victims of sex abuse that occur under not 91 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: under his watch, but but while he is superintendent, that 92 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: come forward and stop attacking these victims and come to 93 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: the table. I mean, we tried to resolve this case 94 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: at the outset. They refused, they failed to and then 95 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: and then all this stuff came out. I saw something 96 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: in the press release. I got to ask you about Morgan. 97 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: The defendants for the Los Angeles defied School District. This 98 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: man Terry Gillard, the Boys and Girls Club of San 99 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: Fernando Valley. How were they involved? Yeah, so he was 100 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: a he was a coach. He was a volunteer coach 101 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: for twenty seven twenty eight years at the Boys and 102 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: Girls Club, and most of the way he would work 103 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: it would be he'd bring the kids from LAUSD and 104 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: they'd also practice at the Boys and Girls Club or 105 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: vice versa. He'd bring them in from Essentially the Boys 106 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: and Girls Club act is a feeder club to his 107 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 1: high school endeavors because he could coach a younger kids. 108 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: So the Boys and Girls Club he was abusing them, 109 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: abusing kids in their van and there, you know, he'd 110 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: essentially take them, take them in their white, his white 111 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 1: panels van, and he'd abuse him in the white panel 112 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: VANU through the Boys and Girls Club, driving him around, 113 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: or he'd abuse him in his white, you know, gold 114 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: plated Cadillac. He was driving around kids and abusing them 115 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: in the Cadillac. Yeah. Maybe, obviously, I just lived in 116 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: a different part of town. But if there was a 117 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: whiff of a teacher involved sexually with any of the kids, 118 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: a coach, a coach, because stuff happens everywhere, all the 119 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: parents knew about it. They knew that there was something 120 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: going on, something was re investigated, somebody had to disappear 121 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: from the school. They knew it. I mean, it just 122 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: seemed like every and everybody would be talking about it 123 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. Nope, this doesn't happen at 124 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: Francis Polytechnic with all that many kids getting abused in 125 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: a van. He is loading either the van or he's 126 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: loading five or six kids in his Cadillac and driving 127 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: off the campus of Polytechnic High School in the view 128 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: of the administrators. We have testimony it was than the 129 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: view of the administrator. So he's he's putting five or 130 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: six kids in a in a white Cadillac and driving 131 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: them off off campus, and the administration with no proof 132 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: that he has the authority to do so. There's not 133 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: a single proof that came out that he had authority 134 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: to do so, and nobody questions that. I don't know. 135 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: That's time today, Not only the administrators because obviously they're 136 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: always in cover up mode, but the parents. Usually somebody 137 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: sniffs this out, somebody talks, right, one of the kids 138 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: talks to a friend. The friend mentions it at dinner 139 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: at somebody you know, at their parents house, and then 140 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, all the all the phones light up. There's 141 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: a whole phone tree, and people start emailing and texting 142 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: each other, Hey did you hear did you hear even 143 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: if nobody actually has any evidence, they spread the story around. 144 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: That's that's in my experience what happens. Well, but here's 145 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: the here's the important fact. These kids went to the 146 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: administration and said he's he is committing sexual misconduct with 147 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: with some kids. It was reported, and the administration did nothing. 148 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: They they they essentially buried it. And then you know what, 149 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: it took. One of these kids videotaped sexual abuse by 150 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: Harry Gillard and she took it to the administration. And 151 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: she the only reason she videotaped it and took it 152 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: because she didn't believe they'd ever believe her because of 153 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: the history. So she went in with a videotape and said, look, 154 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: he is sexually abusing me, and that's it's time. That's 155 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: what it took because she she knew the history was 156 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: they're going to ignore me and they're going to ignore 157 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: the reporting. That's what it took. That's all right, Morgan, 158 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for giving us the details in 159 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: this story.

Apparently a group 196 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: of youngsters miners came into the store and they began 197 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: to shoplift. Does that sound familiar. One of the clerks 198 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: tried to stop them. Yus tried to come to that 199 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: person's aid and then a thirteen year old hit him 200 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: in the head with a scooter and he did not recover. Wow, 201 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: you think he grew up with a father. If it 202 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: isn't homeless people causing this, it's young people. Yeah, yeah, 203 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: and you know this is La County. You know where 204 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: this is going with George Gascone, a thirteen year old, Well, 205 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, they don't really understand what they're doing. And please, 206 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: he'll be out of an institution in a few years. 207 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: Left the psychotic out as quickly as possible so he 208 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: could kill other people. Yeah, four suspects involved. They're still 209 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: looking for a few others, but they've arrested this thirteen 210 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: year old. Obviously there's somewhat surveillance video. Somebody must have 211 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,239 Speaker 1: come forward and said something or recognized somebody uh involved 212 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: in this. We will not know this kid's name because 213 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: he's thirteen. One male and two females are the other 214 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: people they're looking for, So they probably came in there 215 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: like they do now as a group, right and just 216 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: scattering grab stuff. Can you imagine what the environment this 217 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: kid has grown up in that he could kill somebody 218 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: with a with a with a scooter a scooter. I 219 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: think that's a little heavy lifted up, and imagine what 220 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: this kid has seen, the way he's been abused. And 221 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm not creating a sob story for him, but I'm saying, 222 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: there's so many sick households right there, said, kids growing 223 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: up with drug addicts for parents, usually no fathers, all 224 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: kinds of violence and drug taking going on, all kinds 225 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: of like physical and emotional abuse. And then these psychotic 226 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: monsters come out of this environment, and it's that's bad enough, 227 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: But then you know they're not put away for very long. 228 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: This is not the first bad thing he's ever done. Now, 229 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: I'd like to take a moment. We got an email, 230 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: and I don't know much about these groups, the Riverside 231 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: Republican Assembly and the Murrietta Temeculate Republican Assembly. I guess, John, 232 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: they're just local political groups and Republican groups and Riverside 233 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: Mariettas like. I don't know. I've never heard of them. Well, 234 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: they've given a special recognition award to a man who 235 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: was on our show. You were actually out at this time, John, 236 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: I talked to a guy by the name of Craig Cope. 237 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: He owns he owns the Norco Market and liquor and 238 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: he's sitting there at work because I asked him this 239 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: two forty seven am, what are you doing at work? 240 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, it's my business. I got to 241 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: work if no one else is. He was behind the 242 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: counter and he saw in a surveillance outside in the 243 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: parking lot what didn't look good. A bunch of thugs 244 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: had pulled up in a car and they had guns. 245 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: So he knew what was coming. So the one comes 246 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: into the store. I don't know if over did you 247 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: see the story anywhere? John sounds sounds familiar. Yeah, he uh. 248 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: He lifted his shotgun just above the counter and blam, 249 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: he got the guy who apparently him ran screaming he 250 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: shot my arm off. Yes, yes, it was a fantastic story. 251 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: That's a great video. Oh it's one of my favorite. 252 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: We played it over and over again, especially the crook 253 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: screaming he shot my arm off and they all fled. Well, 254 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: they caught them all. All four were arrested and the 255 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: wounded guy was treated in a hospital. But this, uh, 256 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: these two groups are are recognizing mister Cope because he 257 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: defended his his his life, his family. You know, he 258 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: knew this was going to go south quickly. So he 259 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: made the first move by firing at the at the robber. Well. 260 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: When you don't as soon as he came in the 261 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: door boat, when you don't have a government, a police department, 262 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: a district attorney, who's going to protect you, what are 263 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: you gonna do? You're gonna do what this guy Cope did. 264 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: That's your only choice. They're giving him a presentation plaque, 265 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: a gift certificate to a local firearms and sporting goods store. Oh, 266 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: that's nice, and a complimentary annual membership to the California 267 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: Republican Assembly, and other gift items of a commendation and 268 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: a recondition. And when I talked to him, he's so 269 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: low key, he's so cool, it's just like fascinating. But 270 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: he said, what a lot of people are saying. He's 271 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: singing things going south. He knows that, and he knew 272 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: that night. This is not going to be good for me. Now, 273 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are arming themselves right now, 274 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: and that's that's all you can do. I mean, in 275 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: the world of you know, Garcetti and Gascone and all 276 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: the rest of these bastards and Newsome and the whole 277 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: the whole Assembly and State Senate.

And do you think crooks 280 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: are going to go to that liquor store now and 281 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: try to rip it off, knowing that there could be 282 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: a guy in there to blow their arm off. I 283 00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: don't think so. Yeah, but play the audio. It's probably 284 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: my favorite audio of the year. As the car pulls away, 285 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: come back, Well, he'll shift the other arm off and 286 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: I you know what, I didn't even bother to look 287 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: up whether or not you know what condition his arm 288 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: ended up in.

In fact, this is the Sheila Kuel seat. 331 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: John has to choose between this guy and somebody named 332 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: Lindsay Horvath who used to be on the West Hollywood 333 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: City Council. Yeah, and she's completely nuts. Who tried to 334 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: scrub that from her bio. She's she's because she knew 335 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: valley people might not want to vote for her. Woke wacko. 336 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: Are you of standing in this election or I'm like 337 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: throwing up my What am I supposed to do? Right in? 338 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: I can't. Yeah, I'll write in. I'll write in your name. 339 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: So a group of prominent women in California politics and 340 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: I take it there. Democrat. Prominent women say that Bob 341 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: Hertzberg has never really been called to full account for 342 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: his aggressive, sexual in nature and intimidating behavior to his 343 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: female colleagues in Sacramento in LA. Now, his name did 344 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: come up a few years back with all the me 345 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: too stuff, and he had the nickname Huggie Bear Hertzberg. 346 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: Funny you were talking about Biden, because it seems similar 347 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: like Biden would like to be use young girls. He 348 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: puts his hands on their shoulders and smells their hair. Yeah, 349 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: Huggie Bear, you can probably guess would like to bring 350 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: women in close and hug them passionately. That was his 351 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: calling card. They're not happy because apparently in some appearances 352 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: he's been making he seems to be making light of 353 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: what he's been accused of doing. But he was trying 354 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: to tell a group in East LA about why he 355 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: makes the hugging gesture. What I like about politics is 356 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: the human connection, don't they all say? That? Really important 357 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: to me? You go to South La. Well, I got 358 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: in trouble for hugging people. Those church ladies grab a 359 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: hold of you and they don't let go. I loved it. 360 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, I loved it. I loved it those 361 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: church ladies. So he gets he gets wound up over 362 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: church ladies. Huh. I guess they said he did this 363 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: in Sacramento too, in the hallway. Sometimes he just grabbed 364 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: the women. Peep. Some guys have compulsions and they can't 365 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: control themselves. Sexual compulsions are very common, right, Senator Connie Lava. 366 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: They say body parts and they have to squeeze him. 367 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: She told the story about her first day in twenty 368 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: fourteen as his colleague. He apprently, abruptly hugged her from behind. 369 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's a move from behind. Yeah see yeah, was 370 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: it one of those you put the hands over the eyes. 371 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: Guess who? She told him never touched me again. As 372 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: she said, I was completely incensed. Rather than just taking 373 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: some responsibility and saying, you know what, I used to 374 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: hug women and they didn't like it, and I finally 375 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: figured out how to stop doing it. He's trying to 376 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: justify his bad behavior. So Hertzberg apparently put out a statement, 377 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: I apologize, then I continue to take responsibility for anyone. 378 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: It felt uncomfortable by those ginue to take responsibility. That 379 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: is definitely a prominent buzzword that politicians jews when they 380 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: get caught. And I don't know what that means. I 381 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: take responsibilities? So what is what is the Is there 382 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: a penalty here there? I am processed this and I 383 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: am healing. I take responsibility. Wow, and then they go 384 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: out and do it again. Yeah, they did look into 385 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: his behavior and he pretty much gotta pass anyway. I'm 386 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm holding myself accountable. Well what does that mean? All right? Yeah, 387 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: that's another line. You're right, holding myself accountable. Yeah, I've 388 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: done a lot of soul searching. Yeah, it's it's they 389 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: hold themselves accountable, they do soul searching, they take responsibility, 390 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: and then they go grab somebody else's rear end the 391 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: next day. I have no idea who's going to win 392 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: this seat. I gotta believe though he's been around so long, 393 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: he's probably the favorite. They're both disasters. They are They're 394 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: both disasters, and we're talking about chili kill leaving, which 395 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: is a good thing. She's a disaster. These will be worse, 396 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: you think, clearly, I live, I live with mental patients. Clearly, 397 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: most of the people that live in my district on 398 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: the West Side are are just unbalanced, just unhinged, unbalanced, delusional, 399 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: disconnected from reality, insane. I don't know how this happens. 400 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up. John and Ken 401 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: KF I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 402 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: I'm done with democracy. Oh, easy for you to say. 403 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: Tomorrow's the Bois line. It's back already during the five 404 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: o'clock hour. But there's still time for a messenger too. 405 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: Who knows. You can use the iHeartRadio app that John 406 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: just garbled. You can use the microphone icon at the 407 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: John and Ken section of the iHeart Radio app for KFI. 408 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: Leave a message that way, or called the toll free 409 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: number one eight seven seven moist eighty six one eight 410 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: seven seven six six four seven eighty eight six. I 411 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: guess there will be a few calls about the whole 412 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: La City Council mess with the recorded conversation. We'll talk 413 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: a bit about that. The only development there today though, 414 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: is that they're not going to meet tomorrow. The LA 415 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: City Council has canceled Friday schedule and there's a you know, 416 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: we also got some inside word that they're Kevin di 417 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: Leone and Gilsten Deal have no intention to resigning. So nope, 418 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: that's right, so make me that's yeah. Well, they could 419 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: try a recall. Uh yeah, you know there was two 420 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: recall efforts attempted against Delone. Did you know that that 421 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: was over the homelessness. We tried to get somebody on 422 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: the air that was organizing him. They didn't. They didn't 423 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: get very far anyway, but they made the news. So 424 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: that's how I remember. There's so much voter apathy in 425 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: both those districts, I would imagine. So yeah, so you know, well, 426 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean we got to be honest here because all 427 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: of this is over redistricting and the contention that Latinos 428 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: are not represented with enough seats on the l A 429 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: City Council. But you know, in many communities, people either 430 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: don't vote or they're not legally allowed to vote. Yeah, 431 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: so that's just an honest truth. That's why the population 432 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: numbers are larger than the voting numbers. I think if 433 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: he touched to that he'll end up getting reelected. Oh, 434 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: that's it. I wonder when he's back up again two 435 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: years we use twenty four? Oh, or will he just 436 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: move on to some other try to I think he's 437 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: something bigger. I think he's running out of Well, he 438 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: didn't he run for US Senate? To him, I write, 439 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 1: I think he did? Uh, yeah, he did. He did run. 440 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: I think he ran against Diane finds him. Oh, you're right, 441 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,719 Speaker 1: I think he did. Yeah, so he whipped on that. 442 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: But he's already served an ascent in the Assembly. Oh 443 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, he's done with the sacraments. Yeah. So, 444 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's he's fifty five, he's still 445 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: he tried to be mayor and that didn't work out, right, 446 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: So he's an ego bag. He runs these offices because 447 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: for his ego, and it does a minimal amount, you know, 448 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: so he can have something to run on, right and 449 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: thank god knowing the pledge of allegiance isn't a barrier too. 450 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: There's actually another video of him of him eating a 451 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: cereal oh and talking with his mouthful during one of 452 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: the Zoom City Council meetings. O. No, he's he's like 453 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: he's a class A dope. He really is, Uh, from 454 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: the irrelevant desk? Have you seen it? John? You don't 455 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: see it much because it's irrelevant, That's right. I don't 456 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: even bother looking at it. The January sixth Committee, they 457 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: want Trump to testify. According to a Trump's source, he 458 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: would love it. I heard that today. Yeah, they put 459 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: together he would sit there and just talk about the 460 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: stolen election. So there you go. I got into the 461 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: car today and turn on the news, and I didn't 462 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: realize they were having continuous coverage of the hearing. Oh, 463 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: it took over TV this morning. I tried to tune 464 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: in for the end of Prices, right, Yeah, it wasn't there. 465 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: Damn it. Who's gonna win the showcase? Oh? What's this? 466 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: Is that a thing with you? You like to catch 467 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: the end of Prices?

Oh, I see, 474 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: so it follows the Showcase by a minute or so. 475 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: Oh so it's not the Showcase for sure. No, but 476 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: just but I tuned it in like five to eleven. 477 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: I flip it on and there's a there is big 478 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: Drew Kerry where there's two people trying to write. Okay, alright, 479 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: but it wasn't there today, like what happened?

Hey, can anybody guess why 488 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: that might have happened? All that pandemic overreaction. Yeah, nobody 489 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: got taught for a year and a half. Everybody sat 490 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: there and stared at zoom and learned nothing. Pants were off, 491 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: as you like to say this, this not even some 492 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: teachers were doing that, right, This is why do not 493 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: go along with everyone in government and in politics, all 494 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: the experts, the medical and the education expert and they 495 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: all told you that this was dangerous, that zoom school 496 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: is going to work. Well, they were all wrong. They 497 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: were all full of it. If you got your kid 498 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: out and had him privately tutored or created one of 499 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: those pods with other students in the basement, your kid's 500 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: gonna win out. Your kid's gonna be a whole year 501 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: ahead of everyone else, and he will help run the 502 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: universe while the rest of these flounder away in their cubicles. 503 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: Forty two percent and not everybody takes the ACT. It's 504 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: not as big as the SAT. Right, Oh, my couple 505 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: of my kids took the ACT. They did I did not. 506 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: I just took the SAT. But forty two percent of 507 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: the ACT tested graduates in the class of twenty twenty 508 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: two met none of the benchmarks in English, reading, science, 509 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: and math none. In comparison, thirty eight percent of test 510 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: takers in twenty twenty one didn't meet the best marks. 511 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: So look at that to that's a lot considering. You 512 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: don't take that unless you want, really want to go 513 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: to college. Like a lot of kids who aren't going 514 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: to go, don't bother taking the Act because it costs money, 515 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: and you know it's it's it's a grueling test. It 516 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: goes on for hours, it does huh. I remember it 517 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: was offered in my day. But I didn't really think 518 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: I needed to do both. No, you don't need to 519 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: do both. But I thought schools were getting rid of 520 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: all these kinds of a lot of schools have I 521 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: think you see right, doesn't you see your cow state? Yeah, 522 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: that's fad will pass. Oh you think it will? Oh yeah, 523 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: I call it giving up. I think it'll get bigger 524 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: when they when they when they, you know, unless they 525 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: drop all the standards and stop caring about grades and 526 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: just go get to the point where, hey, if you enroll, 527 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: we'll graduate you in four years. Doesn't matter what happened. 528 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: In fact, it says here in the story that the 529 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: number of students actually taking the Act has declined thirty 530 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: percent since twenty eighteen because some aren't bothering with college, 531 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: And then some universities don't require it anyway, require any 532 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: admission tests. They have shown that there is a direct 533 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: connection between how well you do in life, how much 534 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: money you make, and how will you do on the 535 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: SAD because it's it's just a basic intelligence test. Yeah, 536 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: stories is what allows people to succeed. I saw a 537 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: story a few weeks ago, and I think I had 538 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: time to bring it up on the show. But we've 539 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: talked about this in the past, especially with regards you 540 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: know California public schools that a lot of the kids 541 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: when they graduate, they're not even ready for community college. 542 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: They have to take those remedial classes. Yeah. Oh, it's 543 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: a backlash against that. Now. It's demeaning. I don't even 544 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: like the word remedial. They shouldn't have to do that. 545 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: They got there, they graduate, they got their degree. They 546 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: should be able to just go to college. But the 547 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: school's responses they're not ready for any of the work here, 548 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,239 Speaker 1: so they need some remedial classes to try to get 549 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: up to speed. You know. The thing is like, if 550 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: you're eighteen years old, you stop worrying about what everybody 551 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: else is doing. You go and get your education. Do 552 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: it the right way. Because my friend's kid told me 553 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: one day that he got to college and he looked 554 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: around and most of the students were duds, and he goes, well, 555 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: if this is what I'm up against, I'm going to 556 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: do really well in life. Oh, that's true, and and 557 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: that's how you look at it. You do your thing, 558 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: don't listen to everybody else. Yes, they're destroying the standards 559 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: all over, but eventually when it comes time to get 560 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: it and getting hired. Because right in college there are 561 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,719 Speaker 1: no stakes really for the university. They could put out geniuses, 562 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: they could put out duds and they'll make the same 563 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: money because they're charging seventy five thousand dollars right. But 564 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: with a company, the company, if they have a bunch 565 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: of duds running things, they're going to go bankrupt. So 566 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: you want to get to the point where the companies 567 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: are looking for smart people and they'll pay you for 568 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: being smart and doing the right thing because they don't 569 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: want to go bankrupt. The good way to take advantage 570 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: of the situation. Oh all right, as soon as we return, well, 571 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: I think as a salute to Joe Biden being in 572 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: something California would have gon Bidenville, Right, we'll talk about inflation. 573 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: Bidenville came here, which is uh, Brentwood tonight. It is 574 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: a big fundraiser. Trying to think if there's a rest 575 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: home in Brentwood were to spend the night, be expensive, 576 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: feel comfortable.
