11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: vacation this week. I'm here with Deborah Mark. We will

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: talk about one of the top Southern California stories after

13
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: the news at three thirty, and that's the lightning strike

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: They killed a woman in her two dogs. Least that's

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: what they believe happened in Pico Revera this morning. As

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: you are aware, we've been having this weird weather, this

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: monsoonal type of moisture and then lightning in the air

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: and some showers. So Corbyn Carson's covering the story and

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: he'll give us an update on what we know coming

20
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: up after three thirty. Your chance at winning a thousand

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: dollars is coming back up in just about fifteen minutes.

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: With the keyword. Now the keyword, you go to KFI

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: AM six forty dot com and you enter it into

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: a link that's provided there. Do not send the keyword

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: to any John and Ken email address. That is a

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: dead end. Don't do that. Several people did that yesterday.

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: This will probably be your last warning not to do that.

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: We're now going to talk about and you know, these

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: just never seemed to end. Another a lawsuit over child

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: sex abuse by a priest. That's the allegation of a

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: man who is now sixty years old. As all is

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: about a school in Anaheim, a Catholic all boys school

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: called Servite, and the priest in question is father Kevin Fitzpatrick,

34
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: who served there from nineteen seventy to nineteen ninety two,

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: where after that he was transferred out a couple of

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: times and then he died in nineteen ninety seven. He

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: had several positions at the school, the swimming and water

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: polo coach and an algebra and religion teacher. Right now,

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to the attorney for this sixty

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: year old man who says he was sexually abused by

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick at the school back when he was a thirteen

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: year old. Slight build. Attorney Michael Reck is going to

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: explain exactly what the claim is here. And as I

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: mentioned before we talked last hour, they've named a huge, expensive,

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: five point seven million dollar aquatic center after father Kevin Fitzpatrick,

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: which also really teed off this poor man. Welcome to

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: the show, Michael Reck. How are you very well? Thank you?

48
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,119
Speaker 1: Ken all right, so give us what facts you can

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: from your client about this allegation. Sure, so you know

50
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: what you're hearing about is a lawsuit was filed yesterday

51
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: and in the lawsuit, the plaintiff, who's a survivor of

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: this child sex assault, was abused by father Kevin Fitzpatrick

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: at Surveyed High School between nineteen seventy six and nineteen eighty.

54
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: He was able to bring that lawsuit under a new

55
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: law in California that allows survivors of these assaults to

56
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: bring cases no matter when it happened, and something triggered him.

57
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: It looks like last year. Huh, yeah, very much so,

58
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: So you know, he's still a very brave gentleman who

59
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: lives in the southern California area and actually went into

60
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: his old neighborhood and saw the facilities at Survive High

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: School and saw the you know, over the top adulation

62
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: and praise that that institution is giving the perpetrator, and

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: saw his name and his face on the side of

64
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: that state of the art aquatic center that is used

65
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: for children, and that really triggered him to now as

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: an adult, have the courage and the bravery to essentially

67
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: say enough is enough. I have to talk about this.

68
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: And he is the first person to come forward and

69
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: allege this abuse publicly by father Fitzpatrick. There are no

70
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: previous allegations by anyone against Fitzpatrick, even though I mentioned

71
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: that the mysterious transfers. So you know, that's interesting that

72
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: you raise that there's a tactic that the Catholic Church

73
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: has used it and these are their words, these are

74
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: not my words. They call it the geographic solution, and

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: that is that you move a perpetrator priest from one

76
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: geographic area where he has abused into another. So, yes,

77
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: we're investigating the pattern of movement of father Fitzpatrick. But frankly,

78
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: what scares me most about him is that he was

79
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: at Servite High School for twenty two years, and that

80
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: institution has not reported his abuse. Now, I'll tell you

81
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: that I'm not a part of Survive High School. I'm

82
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: just a lawyer on the other side, and I'll tell

83
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: you that in the last twenty four hours, I've already

84
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: been contacted by two additional survivors of father Fitzpatrick, and

85
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: that to me raises a public safety concern of epic proportions. Now,

86
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: we don't know what they knew or when they knew it.

87
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: We'll find it out in the lawsuit, but as of today,

88
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: we don't know what they knew. There's also several other

89
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: disturbing aspects to this case from your client. Now, he

90
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: was thirteen when he first encountered Fitzpatrick, but it looks

91
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: like Fitzpatrick leveraged himself over the boy. Explain what this

92
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: was about, something about a cheating on a test or

93
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: something like that. Absolutely, So, what we're seeing here is

94
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: a boy who was about thirteen years old, who was

95
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: leveraged at his most vulnerable point. He was applying to

96
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: enter the school, and father Fitzpatrick as a result of

97
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, essentially the boy copying a math answer on

98
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: the exam isolated him and threatened him with not being

99
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: able to even attend the school, and under that duress

100
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and that leverage, he abused him for the first time.

101
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: And then he ensured that boy would be enrolled in

102
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: the school and be available to Father Fitzpatrick for his

103
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: abuses for the next several years. And apparently Fitzpatrick had

104
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: some strange m involving a barber's chair being alleged. You like, yeah,

105
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's exactly what's a legend. And and

106
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, look, I know this is the type of

107
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: thing that that you know, nightmares are made of. But

108
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: we really got to ask the question of who the

109
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: heck gives a priest an immovable barber chair and a

110
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: room to isolate children in. You know, everybody knew that

111
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: he did that. I've reviewed some of the yearbooks of

112
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: the high school and they talk about this. You know,

113
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: what the heck is going on when other supposedly responsible

114
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: adults are allowing this type of you know, creepy behavior. Yeah, exactly,

115
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: So under the guise of telling your client that he

116
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: needed a haircut, he would bring him in and then

117
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: sexually abuse him, huh exactly. You know, and you know

118
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: what's what's really troubling is that, you know, and again

119
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: I got to say it, this brave survivor came forward

120
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: and really, you know, broke this story and some of

121
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: the information that he shared is very very compelling. You know.

122
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: Can you imagine as being a grown man who gets

123
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: your haircut periodically being triggered of sexual assault simply by

124
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: sitting in a bar harbish chair. Yeah, that's really strange.

125
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Supposedly he confronted Fitzpatrick some years ago. Huh, yeah, that's true.

126
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't you know that those people

127
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: who know about Servite High School will know it as

128
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: one of those, you know, very strong insular communities, similar

129
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: to the other big name Catholic schools around that are

130
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: in the Trinity League that we know of, you know,

131
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: the Servites the modern days. And when he attended a

132
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, a social event essentially a cocktail party while

133
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: he was in college, the perpetrator was there. And now

134
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: we no longer have the thirteen year old boy of

135
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: a slight build, but you know, essentially a grown man

136
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: who confronted him and in that moment, father Fitzpatrick, you know,

137
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: shirked away and avoided the confrontation. So you think it's

138
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: possible that we are going to see a lot more

139
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: claims of sex abuse by this priest because of your

140
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: client coming forward with this sorry, which is kind of remarkable,

141
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: because the priest has been dead since nineteen ninety seven.

142
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: It's been years since they opened up this aquatic center

143
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: in his name. You think somebody would have been struck

144
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: before now and said, hey, that's not right. You know,

145
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I don't do anything except represents survivors

146
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: of childhood sex assault. It's all I've done for almost

147
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty years. And this is a dynamic that we see

148
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: over and over with survivors who will hide in that

149
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: guilt and in that secrecy and that shame until somebody

150
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: really breaks the silence and then there's an outpouring of this.

151
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: You know, you see it with child sex assault cases.

152
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: You see it with a lot of the ME two

153
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: cases that once one person knows, hey, I'm not the

154
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: only person this happened too, then it gives survivors a

155
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: safe space to speak about this. And I mean that's

156
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: what I think we're seeing right now with just in

157
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, the people responding to this

158
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: so you know, in response to your question, are we

159
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: going to see more survivors of father Fitzpatrick file under

160
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: this window, I think that's inevitable. And in terms of

161
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: are we going to see other cases involving Servite High School,

162
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: that's basically a guarantee. You know, father Fitzpatrick is not

163
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: the first perpetrator from that institution. We know of four

164
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: other publicly acknowledged abusers who were priests who worked and

165
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: lived at that facility in Anaheim. So I think that's

166
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty much a given. And finally, your client is

167
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: now sixty years old, that says that he's did an

168
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: interview with the Orange County Register. He's unmarried, he's not

169
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: had a really happy life apparently. Huh yeah. You know,

170
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: that's a dynamic that that we see, you know often,

171
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: and you never know exactly how survivors are going to

172
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: react to this trauma. Some become you know, very very

173
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: type A and very controlling and hyper successful. Many of

174
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: them wrestle with you know, emotional issues and they self

175
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: medicate with drugs and alcohol, and there they have, you know,

176
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: great difficulty with interpersonal relationships. Intimacy physical or emotional is

177
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: very difficult and that's what we see. And you know,

178
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: I'll share with you what this this brave survivor said

179
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: to me when when I asked him, you know, what

180
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: do you want me to do? He says, I want

181
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: my childhood back. And that's not something that you know,

182
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: I can do, but it's something that hopefully he can

183
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: look at differently after he goes through this process. That

184
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: there's an entire law and there are judges and lawyers

185
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: who are doing this because his story is important and

186
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: what happened to him is important. And if there's an acknowledgement,

187
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, by the institution that allowed this to happen,

188
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: that this was wrong and that it was not his fault,

189
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: maybe he can heal. So maybe he doesn't get you know,

190
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: his childhood back, but if he's sixty right now, maybe

191
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: he gets the rest of his life back in peace.

192
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: So that's that's really, you know, kind of what it's about.

193
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: And you know, frankly, I think the first step there

194
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: is what he asked for, which was essentially, get this

195
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: guy's image and his name off that building for goodness sake.

196
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: All right, Michael Reck, I appreciate you talking to me,

197
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: and send our best to your client. I absolutely will.

198
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: I really appreciate your interest in your caring and thank

199
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: you so much. All right. That's Michael Reck, an attorney

200
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: for a now sixty year old man who says he

201
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: was sexually abused by a priest. Had survived high school.

202
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: That's a Catholic all boys school in Anaheims. This is

203
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against the Diocese of la actually because the

204
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Anaheim Diocese didn't come around until the mid seventies. He

205
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: was molested repeatedly for years by this priest, who has

206
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: been saluted by an aquatic center named after him. More

207
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: coming up the Johnny Kenscholl including that chance at a

208
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: thousand dollars with the keyword Coming up after three thirty.

209
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: The lightning strike in Pico Rivera that apparently has killed

210
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: a woman and two dogs will be the focus of

211
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: our conversation with Corbyn Carson from KO five News after

212
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: four o'clock. You're not going to believe this. We talked

213
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: last hour about Proposition thirteen and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.

214
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: There is a new study out. We should probably ignore it,

215
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: but it's worth a few laughs. Prop thirteen is basically racist. Yeah,

216
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: just add that to the list. The woke Crowd has

217
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: added Prop thirteen that apparently it's done wrong by people

218
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: of color anyway. John Coopo will be on the show

219
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: at four or five talk about this ridiculous development. Fortunately,

220
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: the story isn't getting a lot of play so far,

221
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: but it it just came out, you'll see you'll be

222
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: picked up by a lot of news agencies. Joe Biden

223
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: today called on Congress to suspend the federal gasoline and

224
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: diesel taxes until the end of September. Yeah, this is

225
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: a really fast needing thing to watch politicians squirm, particularly

226
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: those who don't want you driving a gas driven car.

227
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: They're really in a bind here because ideally this would

228
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: force you to cut down on your gasoline car driving,

229
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: and that's something that they want. But on the other hand,

230
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: you may vote him out of office. It's not such

231
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: a big issue in the state of California because it

232
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to me. It doesn't matter what happens here.

233
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: The Democrats just keep winning re election and even taking

234
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: bigger majorities in Sacramento, and they pretty much they have

235
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: all the statewide offices. I think we have a shot

236
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: to be a treasurer, might be a Republican this year.

237
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know. But let's just focus on this

238
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: story because it's about the federal gas tax. It's about

239
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: eighteen cents a gallon. Most follow this story think it's

240
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: probably not going to be approved by Congress. This is

241
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: a move by Biden because he's seeing the poll numbers.

242
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: They are are dreadful nationwide. The country is a gas

243
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: at five dollars a gallon gasoline. Here in California as

244
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: we're at six whatever, and we were approaching seven for

245
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: a while. People are just numbed to it. But it's

246
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: become a real shock. And if they're going to hold

247
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: on to the House of Representatives and that split they

248
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: have in the US Senate in November, they have to

249
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: do something that makes them look like they're doing something,

250
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: even though secretly they're like, this is good climate change.

251
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: And I was often propelled by people driving gas driven cars.

252
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: So we've got to do something to get people who

253
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: cut down on that, and certainly high gas prices could

254
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: do that in the long run. But the polls say

255
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: we may lose a lot of seats. So get out

256
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: there and do something, old man. So we came out

257
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: today and read from the teleprompter. He really is awful

258
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: at that. You know, you think you have some sort

259
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: of experience all these years as a politicians, just kind

260
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: of the way Reagan used to just snap, snap snapper teleprompter,

261
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: like he could memorize an next five lines and just

262
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: look at the crowd, look far off, and just repeat.

263
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: But Biden just stares and squints. So, spending the eighteen

264
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: cent gas tax for the next ninety days, we can

265
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: bring down the price of gas and give families just

266
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of relief, which is pretty minimal. I mean,

267
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: the California state gas taxes like fifty three cents. These

268
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: two together would get you up there and might make

269
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: a difference. But that's not going to happen in California.

270
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: There's just no way. Biden even asked states to do

271
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: the same thing and suspend their state gas taxes. Battle

272
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: I think four of them are doing it right now

273
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: with no negative results. Looks like the prices came down

274
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: a bit in those states, but California is not going

275
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: to be one of them. And they say the same thing,

276
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: What about the roads? If we cut the state gas tax,

277
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: the roads won't get repaired? Are you kidding me? Nobody's

278
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: repairing the roads. You just suck that money up into

279
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: the big, powerful sinkhole of spending in Sacramento. All right,

280
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: Coming up next, lightning. It's rare, but there was a

281
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: lot of lightning overnight in southern California, and apparently this

282
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: morning it took the life of a woman and her

283
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: two dogs in Pico Rivera. We'll talk about it next

284
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: John and Ken Show on KFI it I'll be joined

285
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: by John Kopaul from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association after

286
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: four o'clock a brand new study which must be instantly debunked.

287
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: Prop thirteen is racist. Well, everything is, I guess I

288
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: will talk to John after the news. Don't forget the

289
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: Moist line is coming back around on Friday. You can

290
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: leave a message with the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.

291
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: It's a little microphone, or you can call up the

292
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: toll free number. It's always there for you. One eight

293
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: seven seven Moist eighty six one eighty seven seven six

294
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: six four seven eight eight six. Let's bring on Corbyn

295
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: Carson from KFI News Now, and this is a big

296
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: story about mid day today. We had thirty seven hundred

297
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: lightning strikes recorded in the region overnight with this weird

298
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: weather that is passing through and apparently it took the

299
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: life of a woman and her dogs and Pico Rivera

300
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: let's find out more from Corbin. Yeah, so thousands of

301
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: lightning strikes that reported this Mormon and you know, if

302
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: you were out and about, it was quite a show.

303
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: So it was definitely something everyone could see. The Sheriff's

304
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: department says they got a call about a dead body

305
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: on a path near San Gabriel. River. Deputy say the

306
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: woman was walking this morning just before nine near Mines

307
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: and rim Bank Road. I caught up with Pico Rivera

308
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: City manager Steve Carmona, who says he went down to

309
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: get a look at the scene. We are notified this

310
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: morning by our captain of her Sheriff's department that there

311
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: was a female that was struck by lightning along with

312
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: her two dogs. It appears that lightning did hit the area.

313
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: We noticed displaced concrete throughout the area. Of course, the

314
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: deceased person on the pathway as long as her two dogs.

315
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: It is very tragic and an unfortunate situation. As a result,

316
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I've directed all staff to be endorsed, canceled public activities,

317
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: including our farmer's market, shut down a golf course as

318
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: a precaution. And then so I asked about that displaced concrete.

319
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard that right there. And

320
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: apparently the if you can imagine the force it takes

321
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: to break up and display some concrete, this lightning strike

322
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: hit the path exploded the concrete, and investigators are not

323
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: sure if it was a direct hit or if just

324
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: being in the vicinity of this explosion is what killed

325
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: the woman. But I was told the woman was found

326
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: on the pathway, while the dogs were found somewhat off

327
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: the pathway. Again, sort of painting this picture of an

328
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: explosion that's in everything except the woman sort of flying

329
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: away from the epicenter. But I suppose the silver lining

330
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: is is we're hearing that the death was instantaneous. They're

331
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: not identifying her yet at all. They don't know anything further. No,

332
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: so far, all we've heard is that this was a

333
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: woman and maybe in our early fifties, and you know

334
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: she was. They tried to do CPR, but again that

335
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: the death was instantaneous. I did ask some more, uh

336
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: from the city manager, just you know, how the city

337
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: is reeling, how the city is handling something like this,

338
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: and just how rare this is. As always with this

339
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: type of activity, you know, be safe, be careful, be

340
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: mindful of the fact that there's a lot of this

341
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: occurrence happening in the air. There's lightning strikes throughout the region.

342
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: Stay indoors as much as you can, and just just

343
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 1: be careful. Extremely where. We cannot think of anytime this

344
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: has happened first in this immediate area. Not too sure

345
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: region wide, but it's definitely a very rare occurrence. They

346
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: always say it's a one in a million chance. Unfortunately,

347
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: it did happen today. So I checked with the National

348
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Weather Service on some of their most recent storm data

349
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen. It shows over the last thirty years,

350
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: the US has averaged about forty three lightning fatalities per year.

351
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: More recently, in the last ten years that the US

352
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: has averaged twenty seven lightning fatalities. Now, only about ten

353
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: percent of people who are struck by lightning are killed,

354
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: leaving ninety percent with various degrees of disability. A lightning strike, again,

355
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: according to this data, can result in cardiac arrest. That's

356
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: when you know the heartstops at the time of the injury,

357
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: although some victims may appear to have a delayed death

358
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: a few days later if they are resuscitated, but then

359
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: they are suffering from irreversible brain damage. And just again

360
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: some of those other stats, the average number of deaths

361
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: per year. Again I mentioned twenty seven, two hundred and

362
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: seventy people struck. The odds of being struck in a

363
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: given year are one and one point two million, two

364
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: hundred twenty two thousand. I don't know if I said

365
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: that wrong, one point two million. And then the odds

366
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: of being struck in your lifetime one in fifteen thousand,

367
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: which is a bit shorter than that I thought. And finally,

368
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: the odds you will be affected by someone struck someone

369
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: you know basically is one hundred. So it sounds rare,

370
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: but I mean when you're talking forty three or twenty

371
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: seven deaths a year, maybe not so rare. Nobody witnessed this.

372
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this San Gabriel River bike path has to

373
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: be It's nine am and kind of would be busy.

374
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: I realized that it was weather that might have driven

375
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: people indoors, but you would think somebody might have been

376
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: around to see her go down. But I guess yeah, yeah,

377
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: no witnesses. There were some people that lived nearby that

378
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: reported that, you know, they heard some things about that,

379
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: but the first person that was along the path to

380
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: see it as the one who called. Just some people

381
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: who lived in the area. And yeah, no one around

382
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: to witness it. Freakish. Sure. We thank you very much,

383
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: Corbyn for that update. Appreciate it's our things, all right,

384
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carson from CAFEI News covering the Remember it says

385
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: the last time this happened a lightning fatality in southern

386
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: California was in twenty fourteen, when a twenty year old

387
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: mail was struck and killed at I remember something happened

388
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: was at the beach at Venice and trying to remember

389
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: what year that was to remember us talking about it.

390
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: There was some sort of summer we had where they

391
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: were lightning strikes, and of course people who were in

392
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: the water or close to the water are particularly vulnerable

393
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: to getting hit by something like that. But this is

394
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: really bizarre, really unusual. All right. We got more coming

395
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: up on the John and Ken Show and Deboramark. We

396
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 1: have an animal story update from yesterday. An update. Well,

397
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: remember the little spider monkey that was wearing the bulletproof

398
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: vest who got killed or in a narco shootout with

399
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: police in Mexico. Maybe you'll find the update a little

400
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: heartwarming that could happen. We'll get to it coming up

401
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: here on The John and Ken Show and KFI. We

402
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: actually did hear from a listener who was struck by lightning.

403
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: Apparently he was at home and he was working on

404
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: his new TV and he saw a flash at the

405
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: window and he got a nasty shock in the hand

406
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: because he was holding one of the one of the

407
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: parts to the TV. This morning. No, this happened years ago.

408
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: I was left with a small black burn hole and

409
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 1: one finger that took a long time to heal. If

410
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: I'd been a few seconds sooner doing what I was doing,

411
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: it would have felt nothing. If I had been a

412
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: few seconds later, I would had a blown out TV.

413
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, they used to say that, don't be like

414
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: on the telephone. I used to hear that when I

415
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: was a kid with lightning storms, don't be on some

416
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: sort of electronical device or something like that. So, and

417
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: we did find out that it was a twenty fourteen

418
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: strike in Venice. Thirteen people were injured and one man

419
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: died at twenty year old man at Venice Beach in

420
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: the year twenty fourteen. Okay, let's oh yeah. Coming up

421
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: after four o'clock, we'll be talking to John Coopaul from

422
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 1: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. If you can believe it,

423
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: well you can. It's the state of California. There is

424
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: a new study out that says Proposition thirteen is racist. No, yeah,

425
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: that's right. It discriminates in favor of the white, wealthy,

426
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: privileged people. I don't know. I thought it applied to

427
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: everyone in the state to get a break on their

428
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: ever escalating property taxes, which is what was happening in

429
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: the seventies, driving specially poor people out of their homes.

430
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: But we'll dig into this with John Coopal after the

431
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: news at four o'clock. We mentioned yesterday that there was

432
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: a sad animal story for Deborah Mark and it concerned

433
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: a little spider monkey. I don't think that was found

434
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: among a bunch of dead bodies after a narcotics shootout

435
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: in Mexico between the police and this drug gang called

436
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: La Famia Micho Kana. Anyway, it's a notorious cartel in Mexico.

437
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: This happened on June fourteenth, there was a standoff between

438
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: state security forces and an organized criminal group in this

439
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: Mexican town, and it did leave a number of people

440
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: dead eleven dead, three injured, seven arrested. They took photos

441
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: of the bloody scene. They began to circulate online, and

442
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: it was noticed that on top of one of the

443
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: dead man's bodies was a little spider monkey wearing a

444
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: tiny bulletproof vest, which obviously didn't help. Obviously didn't help,

445
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: but it looks like it's hugging the dead guy. I guess,

446
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,239
Speaker 1: trying to hold on for dear life when all the

447
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: noise of all the shooting. Yeah. Well, the update is

448
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 1: it's getting quite the tributes apparently very popular on Twitter.

449
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: Tributes are pouring in. They've named the little primate elchango,

450
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: which means the primate in Spanish. They're also calling it

451
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: the cicario monkey. People are I guess we have some

452
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: audio of some of it. There's a song too that

453
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: they've done. Yeah, there's a tribute song. It's in Spanish.

454
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: Let's hear the tribute song. We had mentioned yesterday that

455
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the drug cartel guys like to have

456
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: mascots and it's usually exotic animals, spider monkey, you mentioned it.

457
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: Some had Bengal tigers. This group, this particular one, this

458
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: La Famia, is regarded as one of the country's top

459
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: meth exporters. It emerged in the nineteen eighties after splitting

460
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: up from the Golf Cartel, one of Mexico's oldest criminal organizations.

461
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: It's known for brutal tactics. You want to hear one remark,

462
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: A brutal tactic. Remember when you do this, you're trying

463
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: to intimidate the opposition. You're trying to send a message

464
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: that if you cross us, this is what could happen

465
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: to you. So what they did at a club in

466
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, while people are on the dance floor,

467
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: they tossed a bunch of severed heads out there. You

468
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: go dance to that. Apparently the group has been in

469
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: decline though the leader died in twenty fourteen. There was

470
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: in fighting, but they still are known for getting involved

471
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: in some violent acts. In March of last year, they're

472
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: responsible for an ambush that killed over a dozen police officers.

473
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: But I guess people were struck by a little el chango.

474
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: Well they should be the poor little guy. I mean,

475
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: come on, he was protected and everything, obviously not very

476
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't well protected with his little vest. But it's

477
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: touching really an innocent that was killed in the crossfire.

478
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: So people, I guess, have accepted that there are lots

479
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: of drug cartel violence in that country, but when it

480
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: takes the life of an innocent little monkey. Oh yeah.

481
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: One of the lyrics says in it's much a short life,

482
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: and it wasn't the monkey's turned to die. Someone stole

483
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: his story because he came here to triumph and shine

484
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: in so many things. The song laments the little guy

485
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: is on his way to heaven, but he left us

486
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: with his legacy. Although it says here it's unclear what

487
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: the legacy is. But apparently this is something that people

488
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: have done in that country before. They have come up

489
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: with tributes. I don't know. There it's always two animals

490
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: that are killed in these narcotics fights or people or what.

491
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: But it's become part of a legend and they're not

492
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: killed for doing that, for putting together a tribute to

493
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: a yeah, and singing a song about this poor monkey.

494
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: I hope they're in hiding those people. Well, this was

495
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: a shootout between the police and this Mexican drug gang.

496
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: So it's possible that the police killed the monkey. So

497
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you're inside there hanging out

498
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: with the cartel. You better escape or take your chances,

499
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: and Alchango went down Bullapoo vest or not. All right,

500
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot to come in the four o'clock hour,

501
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: but we'll begin with a strange one. And we've encountered

502
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: many strange stories here on the John and Ken Show.

503
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: But in this era of the woke, apparently it has

504
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: become a thing to put out studies and reports that

505
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: refer to anything that's been around for a long time,

506
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: and they don't believe as any good as racist. The

507
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: latest is Proposition thirteen, passed by the voters in the

508
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies to give us property tax relief, is being

509
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: called just that in this new study that it favors white,

510
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: wealthy homeowners at the expense of people of color. John

511
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: Capal from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association will join me

514
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four hour News Center. It's never been

515
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,120
