1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Well, yesterday was the one month anniversary of the death 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: of the four college students in Moscow, Idaho, a story 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: that is baffling, puzzling. The Moscow police, of course, so 4 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: the main investigators, but the FBI is also in there. 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: The state police in Idaho are in there, yet they're 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: just asn't much coming out of the investigation after a month. 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Is this case slowly going completely cold? We turn once 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: again to Brian Enton, senior national correspondent with News Nation, 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: who's been reporting from Idaho on the story, and yesterday, 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: of course, being the one month anniversary, a lot of 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: questions of being asked to the police about what they 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: can tell us. Brian, as people, welcome back, how are you? 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, thank thanks for having me. All right, Well, 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: what's going on there? I mean, look, every it's frustrating. 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: We've been here for almost a month, and the families 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: are frustrated. The people in the community are frustrated. I 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: think people thought by now police would have come up 18 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: with something, at least a suspect description or something, but 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, not much has changed. There is a couple 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: of new developments. There's some new surveillance video that is 21 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: surfaced you know, police are looking for a white Hyundai 22 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: Elantra that they say was spotted around the scene of 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: the murder. Uh, there's a gas station in Moscow about 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: a mile from the murder scene that has video of 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: a car that could possibly be a white Hundai Elantra. 26 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: So that has now just surface, so that's something new. 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: But beyond that, you know, no persons of interest, and 28 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: and everybody here is just still feels like there's a 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: murderer on them. It's pretty weak a video of a 30 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: of a white car that nobody really knows what it is, 31 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: and they're not going to be able to figure out 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: what it is anyway. It's blurry video, so you can't 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: know for sure. And the thing is where that gas 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: station is. When when this video came out yesterday, we 35 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: just started going to all the businesses. It's kind of 36 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: one of the main drags here to see if we 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,639 Speaker 1: could find more video. We went to this vape shop 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: right down the road, and the worker there told me 39 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: that the police came into her business nine days after 40 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: the murder to get video because she has a camera 41 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: that points to the road, but her video deletes after 42 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: a week nine. We're too late, see yeah, yeah, nine days. 43 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: And that's what I'm saying. This is it the FBI 44 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: or the local police that came in there? Well, listen, 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: they said it was a local police, but the FBI 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: is very very much involved. And you've got peopleho are 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: frustrated when they hear stuff like that, because this was 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: between three and four in the morning when this happened. 49 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: This is a small town. How many people are on 50 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: the road at that time, and there are people questioning, 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: you know, why haven't police gone to all the businesses 52 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: along the road and gotten video? Why did it take 53 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: nine days? You know, there's just a lot of people 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: who are frustrated. Well, if they botched up something that basic, 55 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: then it's possible that there they have enough and they're 56 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: gonna have nothing. And are they just bluffing. It's possible 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: that they know they've already screwed this up and now 58 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: they're so fearful of the public backlash, they're just going 59 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: to keep bluffing and saying, yeah, well you got stuff, 60 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: you just don't know what it is. And that is 61 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: kind of what they're saying. I mean, look, I want 62 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: to give them the benefit of the doubt. And also, 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: I mean the FBI is here. I was just over 64 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: at the police station. There's this massive FBI mobile command 65 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: unit at a Salt Lake city that's in the parking lot. 66 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just the local police. There's a 67 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: huge federal response. So I hope there's more going on 68 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. But you know, when you hear a 69 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: story like that where they say they came in nine 70 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: days after and the video has been deleted, I mean, 71 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't give you a ton of confidence. And now 72 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: the college students are leaving for the holidays, right, Yeah, 73 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: that's another big issue. So there was graduation over the weekend. 74 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: They've already moved most of the classes in finals online 75 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: because so many students were scared to come back. And 76 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: it's an issue for the investigation. Like we've talked to experts. Know, 77 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: detectives want to go out and knock on doors. You 78 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: want to meet with people face to face. This is 79 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: now kind of like a ghost town. I mean a 80 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of the people have left, so that that's not good. 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: What about the coroner has been speaking. We mentioned yesterday 82 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: the story, Brian, I'm sure you're aware of it. Of 83 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: some of the wounds were like huge gouges in the bodies. Yeah, 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: and you know it's interesting police are so tight lipped. 85 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: Other little details leak out, either through victims families. The 86 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: corner has given a couple of interviews. We've heard that 87 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: you know it was it was a brutal killing. You 88 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: know that it was a brutal stabbing to these victims. 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: But it's like little tidbits leak out here and there, 90 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: and then you can't really get confirmation. That's kind of 91 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: one of the frustrating things covering it. I don't see 92 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: how the see. I really don't know how this helps 93 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: because they're the corner or some sources in the police 94 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: department aren't telling the families. Right. Well, if you're gonna 95 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: tell the families, eventually the families are going to start 96 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: spilling it out to the media. So why not tell 97 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: it yourself and step by step how the murders were committed. 98 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: And maybe there's something in there that will remind someone 99 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: in that town or someone nearby. Hey, I think this 100 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: reminds me of my cousin, my brother, a friendly Well, 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: it makes me think of when when they were when 102 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: they were chasing for the UNI bomber, right, and when 103 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: they finally published the manifesto. The unibomber's brother looked at 104 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: it and said, that's my brothers. That's my brother's writing 105 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: something like that, something, because just just the way the 106 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: body's like, was it Kaylee Gonza Gonkov is right, that's 107 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: her name? Yeah, yeah, all right, according to the dad, 108 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: they're deep gouge in the body. Right, it pierced long, 109 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: it pierced liver. That said to me, all right, this 110 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: is somebody who does hunting, right, this is somebody like 111 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: originally they said, this is somebody who's comfortable with blood. 112 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: Maybe you know it works at a butcher shop. Maybe 113 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: he's a hunter. It's some somebody who knows how to 114 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: do this, because a normal person who's angry and crazy 115 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: just starts stabbing right like this here. It was like 116 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: a filet job. And I'm thinking when and the fact 117 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: that that that whoever did this killed all four victims. 118 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: You know, you have to know where to stab, you 119 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: have to be strong. There wasn't even one of them 120 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: that survived. Um, and it was quick apparently you know 121 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: he was able to get to them all quickly and 122 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: do it that quickly. Um, so you're right, I mean, 123 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: there's there's clearly some knowledge there. It's someone strong, it 124 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: might be someone who was injured. That's the other thing, 125 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: and they don't even want to talk about that. But 126 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, if we have learned that there were defensive 127 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: wounds on some of the victims, so you know, whoever 128 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: did this, did they get hurt? You know? And a 129 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: detail like that, like you said, if you know you 130 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: know someone you know that you know who was hurt 131 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: the day after and already was kind of a sketchy person. 132 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: So I think that's somebody who was showed up at 133 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: work a little more out. Somebody showed up, got a 134 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: bandage on his hand right right easy, like brushed up, 135 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, no, you know, I just tripped 136 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: and fell down the stairs, right. But that's when you'll 137 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: get real tips coming in, and not just the psychics, Brian, 138 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: imagine they're using the best profilers they can find. Are 139 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: they coming up with anything? Yeah, so they've got two 140 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: SDI profilers here. Again, they're not releasing any of that 141 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: information to us of what they're coming up with. What 142 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: they keep telling us is that they feel if they 143 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: release anything it will compromise the investigation, and not just 144 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: an arrest, but what could happen later in court, Like 145 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: they really feel that if they release the wounds, if 146 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: they release the autopsy report, if they let the profilers talk, 147 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: that it's just going to end up helping the killer. 148 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: And then that's what they've you know, that's what they've 149 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: stuffed with, except they're begging the public to give the 150 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: more information because they claim they're in a dead end. 151 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: They don't have a suspect, they don't have a motive, 152 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: so they're they're working out of extreme weakness here, which 153 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: means they need help. And for the public to help, 154 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: the public needs to know what they already what the 155 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: police already know. It makes no sense and everything's backwards 156 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: point unless unless they really do know a lot behind 157 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: the scenes that they're not telling us. But what they 158 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they continue to say, no known suspect, no person. 159 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that they've got a 160 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: ton of information behind the scenes, but you know it's possible. 161 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: All right, Brian, thank you very much for coming on again. 162 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Yeah. Thanks, We're going to keep covering 163 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: it on News Nation. You know, we're in here for 164 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: the long haul. And I talk to the families. I mean, 165 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: I just you know, I hope there's a resolution soon 166 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: because not only do they lose their loved ones college students, 167 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: but now I mean some of them still aren't having funerals. 168 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: This killer on the run has got them in this 169 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: sense of agony. We're in it for the long haul 170 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: here in News Nation.

Brian Entrance, 172 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: senior national correspondent with News Nation. They are the cable 173 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: channel that is cover story as Brian has been in 174 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: Moscow now for almost a month and this is really 175 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: baffling and frustrating to a lot of people that follow 176 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: these types of stories. More coming up, John and Ken KF. 177 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: I am six forty Live Everywhere the iHeartRadio app. I 178 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: was just looking at Frances in the World Cup final, haha, 179 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: Poland they defeated Morocco today in the World Cup. But 180 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: there was a few stories about there were other tensions 181 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: going on here because obviously France colonized Morocco. If you 182 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: knew that, described as a long and complex history between 183 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: the two nations separated by the Mediterranean Sea. There were 184 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: more than seven hundred and eighty thousand people of Moroccan 185 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: origin in France, and a recent dispute has made it 186 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: difficult for relatives in Morocco to visit them. The President Macron, 187 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: whose government introduced the visa restrictions, is expected in the 188 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: stands during the semi final. But France signed the Treaty 189 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: of Fess with Morocco Sultan in nineteen twelve, officially making 190 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: Morocco a French protectorate and spending subsequent years establishing a 191 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: colony there. During World War One, France conscripted some forty 192 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: thousand Moroccans soldiers to fight in its colonial army. So 193 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: that's good. This was like the underlying story today with 194 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: the two nations, take forty thousand of the young men 195 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: to fight your stupid war. I would imagine the Moroccans 196 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: would have felt really good if they had pulled the upset, 197 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: but they did not. So France is going to play 198 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: I guess Argentina in the championship the World Cup. Also 199 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: from the Sports world on because it has some effects 200 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: on things. The UC Regions, which was making a lot 201 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: of noise about blocking UCLA and USC's moved to the 202 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: Big ten blocking UCLA's move cave today and gave their 203 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: blessing to UCLA joining the Big Ten Conference, where they 204 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: will be one of sixteen teams. But that's going to 205 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: be an incredibly powerful football conference, and there's a lot 206 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: of money in college football, and UCLA wanted a piece 207 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: of it. So the school is projected to pocket sixty 208 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: five million to seventy five million in media rights revenue, 209 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: doubling what it would have made by remaining in the 210 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: Pac twelve conference. Yeah, well those, uh, the region said 211 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: they just want to make sure you take measures to 212 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: mitigate travel and address there because they have to write obviously, 213 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: their basketball teams have to go to the care They 214 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: just want to find out that, you know, they want 215 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 1: to figure out how to get a piece of this 216 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: seventy five million coming in. Oh yeah, I mean I'm 217 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: not so sure what they could have done anyway, Nothing 218 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: you can do, No, I mean, this is this is 219 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: the way the world is now. You have these incredibly 220 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: lucrative national football networks for college football, and uh, how 221 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: could you turn down that turned down that kind of 222 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: money in there. I've read a couple of stories the 223 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: guys who ran the Pac twelve network just botched up 224 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: the execution of it. Then they got very little revenue 225 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: compared to what's going on elsewhere in the country. Yeah, 226 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to say one one guy who objected to 227 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: this wrote a letter to the regions. Not all money 228 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: is good money. The regions should not let a handful 229 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: of people sell the soul of the UCLA athletics program 230 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: for TV dollars that will be spent on luxury boxes 231 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: at stadiums and lavis salaries for a few That's all 232 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: this world is. College is all those things. I think 233 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: people are acting like it's eighteen ninety five and who's 234 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: paying the region's salary? Sports programs exactly. The sports programs 235 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: pay for everything. Dah is, America loves it sports. But 236 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: there's so there's so much money sitting there. People are 237 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: willing to watch endlessly these these college football networks and 238 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: then it finances so much at the school and you 239 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: know they're renting players. I mean, so many of the 240 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: college football players are criminals. They don't care. They don't 241 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: care if these guys end up in prison after they're 242 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: they're done, as long as they can help them win 243 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: for four years. The only question is what does this 244 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: do to the Pac twelve because losing these two schools, Wow, 245 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: that puts a big dent in the program. And what 246 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: they're going to try to do to reorganize particularly hurt 247 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: his UCLA sisters school Cal Berkeley considered a rival, but 248 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: most people consider usc to be the prime right, Oh 249 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: kind of well, sometimes you those are the consequences. They 250 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: blew their TV network and they did. They made some 251 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: really bad moves, the PAC twelve commissioner and the whole 252 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: organization there. They didn't do very well in selling the product. 253 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: And so now they're going to be more of a 254 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: small time conference. What are you gonna do? Yeah, And 255 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: when you read this story, while it's about the athletics program, 256 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: you can tell it's just really all about the football programs, 257 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: because while UCLA has a powerful basketball program, this is 258 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: really about the football programs because that brings in the revenue. 259 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, these if you can bring in 260 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: seventy eighty thousand people a game, and if you're if 261 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: your team's nationally ranked and it gets real rating points, 262 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: that brings in millions of dollars of AD revenue. Yeah 263 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: that you know, you live or die by your AD revenue. 264 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: And what they're trying to do with this massive Big 265 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: ten conference, which is now sixteen teams, is compete with 266 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: the all powerful SEC, which has got always got the 267 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: Alabama school Georgia schools like that, which always tend to 268 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: win the national championships. They want a powerful conference to 269 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: compete with that one, so will really be down to 270 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: just two major football conferences. But yeah, well you know 271 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: they're they're they're really professionals. This is like the the 272 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: Junior Professional League I was talking. Yeah, yeah, they're they're 273 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: not to scholars. They're not going there for college education. 274 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: They're being rented for a few years to provide programming 275 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: for these networks. And I'm always amazed how the alumni 276 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: gets so emotionally involved with all the these rented players 277 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: that are bought off the streets, right because these alumni 278 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: it's not their sons playing. It's not like when in 279 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: high school your son is playing on the team. These 280 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: are complete strangers from across the country. A lot of 281 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: them have no business being in college. They're not going 282 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: to class. They're taking all kinds of bribes on the side, 283 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: they're getting goosed and juiced along the way. Everyone knows 284 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: it's a big racket. It's just a pretend thing, right, 285 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: But it's like, oh yeah, usc cool, it's I just lie. 286 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I know some of these guys and I 287 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: just laugh. I think it's hysterical that they're getting all 288 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: wound up over these rented goons that they hired to 289 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: play their sports. All Right, yesterday around this time, we 290 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: were talking about the breaking news that a US Senator 291 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: of the name of Chuck Grassley was speaking out on 292 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: the Senate floor against the nomination of Eric Garcetti to 293 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: be the next ambassador to India.

But when 296 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: we come back, John had mentioned this story from Curbed, 297 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: which is about Garcetti's promise to fix the broken sidewalks.

As we are hoping anticipating eagerly the demise 329 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: of Eric Garcetti's political future. If he does not get 330 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: the ambassadorship nomination and the nomination is not approved by 331 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: the US Senate, we don't know what he's going to do. 332 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: Although one article was asking questions about would you run 333 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: for fine Stein's seat in twenty four US Senate? Oh, 334 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: I think Diane's doing a great job. No, I don't 335 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: even want to talk about that. Yeah. He was also 336 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: saying that she's she's actually still sharp. He did say 337 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: that in the CNN interview which we laughed about. This 338 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: tongue bath. So this story's from Curbed dot com by A. 339 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: Lissa Walker, a Curbed senior writer who covers city transportation 340 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: and architecture since two thousand and five, and it starts 341 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: this way, about forty of LA sidewalks estimated to be 342 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: in need of repair. On a Sunday spring morning in 343 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, days before he would be decisively elected to 344 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: a second term Mayor, Garcetti stood on a rare, unbroken 345 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: expanse of sidewalk in Sherman Oaks. For years, navigating this 346 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: stretch of pavement connecting a block of apartment buildings to 347 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: the Trader Joe's and bus stop on the corner had 348 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: been grim before. Photos printed out on foam core and 349 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: displayed on precitation easels showed fragmented rectangles of concrete rippling 350 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: through the grass. But now it represented with its smooth, 351 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: unmarred surface, the thirty three miles of sidewalks that the 352 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: city had repaired in just three months. Quote. When we 353 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: repair our sidewalks, we improve the safety and quality of 354 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: life in our communities, raise property values, and boost our 355 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: sense of neighborhood pride, Garcetti said, flanked by a bunch 356 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: of transportation and disability advocates. The campaign dubbed Safe Sidewalks 357 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: LA was simple, easier to understand, it even easier to 358 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: get behind. Wow, the story continues, Yeah, he only lasts 359 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: forward five and a half years. He only repaired one 360 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: percent of LA sidewalks, one percent of the six hundred 361 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: and forty thousand properties, one cent, that half sidewalks in 362 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: front of them, one percent. If you want to know 363 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: what kind of mayor. He's been for the city, botching 364 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: the basics locally while chasing national clout. Just looked down, 365 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: she writes, that would be looked down at the ripped 366 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: up sidewalks. Now here's the backstory. Back twenty fifteen, LA 367 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: agreed to a nearly one and a half billion dollars settlement. 368 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: It was one of those class action lawsuits with disability 369 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: advocates on behalf of two hundred eighty thousand LA residents 370 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: who are mobility impaired. I guess that's the euphemism. And 371 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: they and they soon had said the broken sidewalks and 372 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: the unsafe crosswalks violated their right to move around freely 373 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: under the American with Disabilities Act. A billion and a 374 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: half dollars, and he promised he was going to fix 375 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: the sidewalks, and then apparently in twenty sixteen Measure M passed, 376 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: some of that was supposed to be for pedestrian improvements, 377 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: and in twenty seventeen California's gas tax was raised that 378 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: the money would be available additionally for local sidewalk repairs. 379 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: So everything was behind them there. Yeah, so now track 380 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: this right, because they always use these movements, these safety movements, 381 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: it's like vote for Measure M, we'll put money into 382 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: repairing sidewalks. Vote for the new gas tax, We'll put 383 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: the money into repairing sidewalks. In Is twenty twenty three, 384 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: almost the sidewalks were never repaired. Garsetti could not even 385 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: fix a sidewalk. Some people took to fixing their own sidewalks. 386 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: They got so frustrated they put in requests and would 387 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: hear nothing. Requests were made so that the proper owners 388 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: could get reimbursed, and the requests would take more than 389 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: a year. Half the inquiries ended up being canceled. There 390 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: was no transparency about which fixes were being made, and 391 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: sidewalk advocates noted there was no strategy for a long 392 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: range transportation plan. Meanwhile, Garciti wasn't around much. During one 393 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: twelve month period, he was out of town for one 394 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: hundred and twelve days testing the waters for a presidential 395 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: run that never materialized. Building an international profile testing the waters, 396 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: he could have swam around the world in one hundred 397 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: and twelve days. That was a lot of waters he 398 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: tested one hundred and twelve days. That's nearly four months. 399 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: Remember that's when the Black Lives Matter people were chasing 400 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: him that he got in the car. He was going 401 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: to Washington, DC under the guise of some conference, but 402 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: he was also there trying to make connections, and he 403 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: was so blatant about wanting to run for president that 404 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: they started putting his name in national polls and at 405 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: most he would get an asterisk. If he didn't get 406 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: his zero, he got an asterisk. An asterisk would be 407 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: less than one percent, so like you're there, but you're 408 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: not there. So the City Controller's office released a report 409 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. The program to repair sidewalks has 410 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: been not been responsive to meet the needs of Angelinos 411 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: who use our sidewalks day in and day out, said 412 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: Controller ron galprun. He said the rate of repairs had 413 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: flatlined compared to the number of requests made. There was 414 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: now more than fifty thousand sidewalks segments in need of 415 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: fixing that remained in a backlog, and they were still 416 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: paying out a lot of money for injury settlements people 417 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: hurting themselves walking on the sidewalks thirty five million dollars 418 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: over the past five years, roughly the same amount the 419 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: city has supposedly spent to repair the sidewalks. There was 420 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: no priorities set up over which sidewalks on to be 421 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: fixed first, which neighborhoods should be addressed first, The failure 422 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: to deliver such a simple promise to his city as 423 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: he traveled the world, making Grandio's claims on the conference 424 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: circuit that his name was floated as accountidate for Joe 425 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: Biden's Secretary of Transportation. That didn't work out of course, 426 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: Secretary of Transportation. He couldn't fix a sidewalk that went 427 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: to Buddha Jay. All people wanted to do is walk transportation. Okay, 428 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: nobody can even walk safely in the city. There you go. 429 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: That's the real legacy of may Or yoga pants. Don't 430 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: read all those dopey interviews he's doing with CNN and 431 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: other media outlets. This is a good profile at CURB. 432 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: This is this is one particular thing. Why is there 433 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: so much propaganda that woman for CNN may Freston. Why 434 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: is she invested in propping up the remains of his 435 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: rotting political career. Why do the tongue bath now they 436 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: just invest themselves in some of these Why the La 437 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: Times did that too for nine and a half years. 438 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: Why he's a Jewish Mexican RhoD scholar looking for all 439 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: the proper I don't know. I feel insanity is setting in. 440 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: More coming up John ken Cafe, I am the six 441 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: forty Live Everywhere, the iHeart Radio app Well, what are 442 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: you carrying in your car? Just in case it gets 443 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: ugly out there with a terrible road rage incident, you 444 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: have to be prepared and apparently and a pole of Americans, 445 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: a big percentage are prepared with some type of weapon 446 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: in their vehicle. We're gonna talk to you about it. 447 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: You tell us your story, and the five o'clock hour 448 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: the number is one eight hundred five to zero, one five, 449 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: three four. We'll go through this pole two because it 450 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: does have a list of what people carry according to 451 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: their answers. That'll come up in the five o'clock hour. Uh. Well, 452 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: Deborah Mark, you know there's a hard and fast rule 453 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: I have. If animals attack people or pets, they die. Yeah. 454 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: Now we have one that is really peculiar from the 455 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: state of Alaska. An Alaskan state trooper of thirteen years 456 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: was killed by a musk ox n What the hell 457 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: is a musko? I'm gonna have to google that. They 458 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: are stocky, long haired animals with a slight shoulder hump 459 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: and a very short tail. Males are about five feet 460 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: tall and can weigh six hundred to eight hundred pounds. Wow, 461 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: that's a big one. Even females at four feet tall 462 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: can be four hundred to five. That looks like a 463 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: prehistoric beaches are. It's cool looking, isn't it. Yeah? Yeah, 464 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: So female went to a little zoo in Alaskan. I 465 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: think I saw one of these in a cage because 466 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: there was a sign. I was like, what are those things? Um? 467 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: And I guess this is one place. Apparently the males 468 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: are noted for their strong odor. That was right during 469 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: mating season. Yeah, you gotta tell the ladies you're interested. 470 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: That's why they're called musk because, yeah, apparently it's a 471 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: very powerful musk oder when they're ready for action. Well, 472 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: this Alaska state trooper, he was a Court services officer 473 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: named Curtis Worland, and apparently a musk ox was getting 474 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: too close to his dog kennel. So we went out 475 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: there to kind of try to shoot it away, and 476 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: it attacked him and it killed him. He was pronounced 477 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: dead at the scene. He and his wife had a 478 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: dog sleddog team at their property just outside the city limits. 479 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: The animals have a track record of goring, attacking, and 480 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: killing dogs because they mistaked dogs for wolves, which is 481 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: one of their natural predator. Oh so this muskox wanted 482 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: to kill the cops dogs thinking they could be wolves 483 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: and they could be dangerous. Yes, I see, probably what 484 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: was going on biological impulse here. Yes, Oh, that's the 485 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: way it goes. In fact, they did kill a dog 486 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: in this man's yard in December of twenty twenty, so 487 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: that's why he was on alert for it possibly happening again. 488 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: So he went out there to try to do something. 489 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: But it wasn't a good idea. This is a large answer. 490 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: He was trying to sorry, no, no, he was trying 491 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: to shoot the muskox away. That's what he was trying 492 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: to do, get it to leave the property right by 493 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: scaring it off, just in case it was coming for 494 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: another dog. Well, what did he do to prevent this 495 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: animal from coming over in the first place? I just 496 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: wandered under his property. I don't know whether or not 497 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: this is a where he lives, or whether or not 498 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: this is a really up some kind of fencing the 499 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: muskox can't get bit. I don't think they could jump 500 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: high like coyotes. No, they're kind of fat, little big. Yeah, yeah, 501 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they jump, so you don't have to 502 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: build a twelve foot face. Those are big, ugly, hairy animals. 503 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: They're urging people to keep their dogs on a leash 504 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: to run if a musk ox and starts charging, pay 505 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: attention to their body language. If they feel threatened, that's 506 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: when they get aggressive and agitated. Just just write this down. 507 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,239 Speaker 1: Do not try to shoot a musk ox away. Just 508 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: don't don't do that. Yeah, that's the best story they have, 509 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: is that he was trying to do that. They have 510 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: big horns too. Yeah, you look at the picture of him. Now, 511 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,479 Speaker 1: it's a pretty cool thing. And they can weigh up 512 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: to nine hundred pounds. Yeah. How can you outrun that? 513 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess because it's so big. Maybe it 514 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: doesn't run fast. Yeah, maybe it lumbers a bit. It's 515 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: not like how bears can be really fast. You can't 516 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: out run a bear, but I don't know.
