1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Well, we'll be talking this hour about another politician who's

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: borrowed from the Gavin Knewsome playbook with the BS about

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: how red states have higher crime and murder rates. Find

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: out who it is and find out one awful thing

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: that just happened in this person's state because of their policies.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: It's coming up later on this hour at twenty. The

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: final keyword of the day, Chance to you for you

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: to win that inflation bonus cash is coming on the

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: John and Ken Show. We've had Joseph Vranich on a

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: number of times. He's president of Spectrum Location Solutions, helps

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: companies move their headquarters into other states. He himself moved

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: out of California some years ago. Get this, and you know,

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Newsom ask this. He was on

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: CBS yesterday bloviating about nonsense Pelosi attack here. Yeah, vran Yeah,

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: here's something that's actually really important to the average person.

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: Three hundred fifty two companies moved their headquarters out of

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: California between twenty eighteen and twenty twenty one. Three hundred

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: and fifty two, twice as many left last year than

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, times as many as twenty eighteen, they're

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: going to Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, Florida, Arizona. What's going on?

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: What's going on? I think we can guess. We've heard

22
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: the reasons over the years, but they continue to build.

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: Let's get Joe on and talk about it. Joe, how

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: are you? I'm signed, gentlemen, good to be with you again. Well,

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: you gave a great summary there of the findings, and

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: I have to say twenty twenty two is kind of

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: looking like twenty twenty one. Is that I'm getting pinged. Oh,

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm getting pinged every other day with companies leading here,

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: here's the serious thing about headquarters. When they leave, the

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: headquarters are where the c suite is, you know, chief

31
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: executive officers, chief financial blah blah blah. When those people

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and their top assistance lead the biggest compensation compensated employees,

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: we're moving to other states. This is not good at

34
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: all for California. And we're talking we're talking major companies here. McKesson, Tesla, Oracle,

35
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: HP CBRB left Los Angeles, for example, for Dallas. Charles

36
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Schwab left San Francisco for Westlake, which is near Houston.

37
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: But my colleagues, my peers and the site selection business

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: agree with me that basically we know only of one

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: out of every five companies that leave, and they agree,

40
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: and that's because a lot of these companies are small.

41
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: They're not required to file reports with the Securities and

42
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Exchange Commission or with Sacramento agencies. So it's not an

43
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: exaggeration for me to say that in twenty twenty one,

44
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: the record officially shows my record one hundred and fifty

45
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: three company exits for headquarters. If we multiply that by five,

46
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: that's called to eight hundred companies that left, many of

47
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: them small and will never know their names. Any companies

48
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: coming here, You guys don't track that well, there are.

49
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has laid out a will barrel full of

50
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: money to lure in green companies. You know, he's so green, green, green.

51
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, some of those companies are moving in, but

52
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: they're pretty much offset by the losses. And by the

53
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: way the losses if we look at the losses by county,

54
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles leads the pack, losing eighty in that time

55
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: period from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one. But here's

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: the interesting thing. San Francisco, which is a County, Santa Clara,

57
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: San Mateo. All of this is home to Silicon Valley

58
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: companies and a lot of these emerging high tech companies.

59
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: They're leaving for the research triangle in North Carolina, for Dallas,

60
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: for Houston, and the number are pretty big. So it's

61
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: not just the old legacy companies that are leaving, but

62
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: a lot of these startups, which really can bring about

63
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: great fortunes in the futures should they hit it big.

64
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal article about your report says that

65
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: there's an electric vehicle startup and Virotech vehicles. They left

66
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: here and went to Arkansas. A lithium recycling firm, Aqua Metals,

67
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: went off to Nevada. These are green energy companies and right,

68
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: and they're part, they're only part of what's leading or left.

69
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: We look at the industries manufacturing, aerospace, financial services, even

70
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: real estate like CBRE left for Texas, chemicals, healthcare. You go.

71
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: You could just go down the list of various industries

72
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: and you could find companies in each one of them

73
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: that have left for greener pastures. And oh, by the way,

74
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: I've been doing these studies for ten years. Texas has

75
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: been the number one location for ten years in a row.

76
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: They don't pay me to promote them. I just report

77
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: the facts. Tennessee has skyrocketed in popularity, one reason being

78
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: they lowered their taxes. And other states that are doing

79
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: well also happen to be red states Florida, North Carolina, Kentucky.

80
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: So these states that go easier on taxes and are

81
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: merciful in their regulatory environment, they're just cleaning up with California.

82
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: Companies moving there. Talk about the regulations. The taxes are obvious,

83
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: that's why they get out. But apparently the regulations are

84
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: choking these companies. It describe some of the regulations that

85
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: make them want to leave. Well, i'll tell you. I'll

86
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: give you an idea, but I'll start off with one.

87
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: And when I give speeches, and when I tell this

88
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: in speeches during my speeches, people in the audience actually gasp.

89
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: They're in California. You can be sued for a type

90
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: on your paycheck stub. And I'm not kidding you. It's

91
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: called paycheck stub abuse. Thank you litigation lawyers in California

92
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: for ramming this through the legislature. So there was a

93
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: company I can't remember the name, let's call them Smith

94
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: and Company, but their real name was Smith and Company Incorporated.

95
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: They left incorporated off the paycheck stub. They got sued,

96
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: they decided to fight it. They lost in court, and

97
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: nobody in your audience has to believe me. You can

98
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: go on Google, look up the paycheck stub abuse and

99
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: you'll see a law firm that specializes in defending companies.

100
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: But there are big or bigger ones than that. You

101
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: know there's California has created a set of labor laws

102
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: that make it the forty ninth in ranking the next

103
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: worst in the whole country. The only state that's worse

104
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: than California is Washington State. And there are just so

105
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: many ways in which individ jewels and employees can sue

106
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: companies over some of the most trivial things that companies

107
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: wind up agreeing to resolve the arguments so they don't

108
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: have to face the lawyer costs of arguing in court.

109
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: All right, Joe, always a pleasure to speak with you.

110
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on and putting out this latest report.

111
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Glad to help the poor businesspeople of California. Yet yeah,

112
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: and is sounding the alarm for a long time. Spectrum

113
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: Location Solutions President Joseph Franitz thanks for coming on, Thank you.

114
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: And this is a report out of the Hoover Institution.

115
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: He put it out along with a senior fellow named

116
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: Leo Hanian. And it's like the way the journal puts this,

117
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: What do these states have in common that are taking

118
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: the California companies low taxes, lower cost of living, but

119
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: also burden some overtime work rules, litigation risk, high costs

120
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: for labor and workers' comp insurance, oppressive taxes, surging electricity rates,

121
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: a permitting morass, diminishing quality of life, lousy public schools,

122
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: and exorbitant housing that make it difficult to retain employees.

123
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Just for starters, just off the top, by the way,

124
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I did google stub abuse and the first thing you

125
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: get is a law firm paste up violations and penalties

126
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: in California labor law accident until paste up violations create liability.

127
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: New law gives California employers limited right to fix paste

128
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: up violations. Oh there's a website. I'm not gonna say

129
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: which one that I look at each day. They are

130
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: obsessed with. They call it the category of stolen wages.

131
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: They think they're just a players out there left and right,

132
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: stealing wages. For employees. That is the new progressive buzzword

133
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: that I never heard of in my life until a

134
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: few months ago, and now I'm hearing it every week. Yeah,

135
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: it's amazing how these these words catch fire, these phrases.

136
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: It's almost like they they they they're all interconnected. I

137
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: guess on the internet, and they all get they all

138
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: get the talking breaks through. People see that, and so

139
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: that's terrible. Yeah, stealing somebody's wages. You know, under the law,

140
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: there's no violation, there's I'm sorry, there's no requirement that

141
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: a stub abuse violation be knowing and voluntary and in

142
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: other words, in other words, it could just be an accident,

143
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: like somebody making a typo and then you're subject to

144
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: a lawsuit over it. All right, as soon as we return,

145
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you'll get the final keyword of the day to possibly

146
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: win that inflation bonus cash. You follow the instructions that

147
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: John will read after that. There's a few more details

148
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: that have come out about this attacker of Paul Pelosi.

149
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: He did appear in court today to face state charges,

150
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: so a little more information is leaked out about his

151
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: other plans besides getting to Nancy Pelosi. John and Ken

152
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: kf I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeart

153
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: Radio app. A couple of things. It is World Vegan Day,

154
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: so Debora Mark is celebrating. Um, I just had some

155
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: cheese and little egg whites. Thank you. Oh well, but

156
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: that's that's not that's not in celebration of a World

157
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Vegan Day. I didn't have meat. Yeah, I know, but

158
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: you you need to have You're not You're not getting.

159
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: You can't die people meet and dairy. That's just impossible.

160
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: And it's World Vegan Day. John celebrated by staring at

161
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: an apple. You can see a picture of John on

162
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: John and Ken Instagram and Facebook and Twitter feeds and

163
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: my personal ones as well. John he did not eat

164
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: the apple. He just held it, did he. He looked

165
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: at it like it was a grenade. Actually I stole

166
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: that from a listener, but I thought it was. It

167
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: was a good description of your face. And I think

168
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: he's holding it up like the host on the altar.

169
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm keeping it at arm's length. I don't want to

170
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: get too near it. And I want you to send

171
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: me that article where you got that hundred million people

172
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 1: that are not working in the reasons. Yes, what was

173
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: the source of that. I don't know how obsessed I

174
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: am with this, and I know, I know you'd like investing.

175
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I see people all the time and I wonder what

176
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: they're doing all day? What is it? Well, it's on

177
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: the investing dot com site, but it's a Bloomberg news story.

178
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: Oh it's a Bloomberg news story. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's

179
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: just well, send it to you it broke out. I mean,

180
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: some of the people are retired, which I think is

181
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: a separate category. But I'm fascinated by the people that

182
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: are a working age and are not really retired. But

183
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: why they're not working at What they're living off of

184
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: is what was in there. It's over fifty million people

185
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: not working and not retired, and they are living off

186
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: of what you thought they were living off of. Either

187
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: they're borrowing, or they're living off the government checks, or

188
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: they're credit cards, loans, money from their family, family savings. Yeah, right,

189
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: if they have any any other way to get money. Uh,

190
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: that's what they're living off of. They when you're doing that, right,

191
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: when you're actually running up debt or you're shrinking your

192
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: assets before you've retired, it means you don't want to work. Yeah,

193
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: it's like financial suicide. Yeah, yeah, and you know you're

194
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna and then when that happens, we're gonna be told,

195
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: look at that. They're they're in poverty, they're homeless, they're destitute.

196
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: We must do something. Their food insecure, Yet their food insecure,

197
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: it's like no housing insecure. How much of that nobody ever,

198
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: I've never seen a story on this. How many people

199
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: do you see and they're they're unemployed or unhoused or

200
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: whatever euphemism what you want to use. How much of

201
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: it is self inflicted? How much of it because they

202
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: did stupid things? And a few details came out today

203
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: in the court appearance of the man that's accused of

204
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: attacking Paul Pelosi at the Pelosi home in San Francisco,

205
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: Brian de Peppi. I can never remember how we're supposed

206
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: to pronounce it. One thing he supposedly told cops and

207
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: medics who arrived at the scene. I'm sick of the insane,

208
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: bleeping level of lies coming out of Washington, DC. I

209
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: came here to have a little chat with his wife.

210
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: I didn't really want to hurt him, but you know,

211
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: this was a suicide mission. He does have a public defender,

212
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: apparently a well known Adam Lipson, a veteran deputy public defender,

213
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: said that his clients suffered a dislocated shoulder during his arrest.

214
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: Don't you feel sad? Lipson said, We're going to look

215
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: into his mental state now. He was denied bail, but

216
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: there's already a federal hold on him him, so it

217
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: doesn't want to matter what they did with the state

218
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: charges today. The Feds have already are holding him with

219
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: no bail. They charged him yesterday. So besides attempted murder,

220
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, false

221
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: impresident of an elder, threats to a public official in

222
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: their family, he faces thirteen years to life if convicted

223
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: of all local charges, but then we have the federal

224
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: assault and kidnapping charges on top of that. One of

225
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: the other little details that came out today is that

226
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: he apparently did have his own little hit list of

227
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: other politicians that he was targeting, and it doesn't have

228
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: an exact list of names, but it's apparently state and

229
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: local officials that he also felt had to be confronted.

230
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: I guess Pelosi was just first on the list, and

231
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: since that didn't go the way I think he wanted

232
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: it to go. Wonder who was on the rest of

233
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: the list. You wonder, this being California, that could be

234
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: a long list. You know. They talked to a number

235
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: of people who lived in the neighborhood. Marjorie Campbell was

236
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: Pelosi's neighbor for ten years, and she says sometimes in

237
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: the neighborhood their electrical equipment would malfunction because the government

238
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: would jam a signal to prevent spying on Nancy Pelosi.

239
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: Everyone in our neighborhood had alarms on our windows, so

240
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: if a glass smashed, an alarm went off. They don't

241
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: understand why Paul Poloshy didn't have an alarm that was operating.

242
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: There's also quotes from Gavin de Becker, who's one of

243
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: the most famous security consultants we've had. Remember we had

244
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: him on the show years ago. He had a book out.

245
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: He said, unacceptable security planning, poor physical security on the premises,

246
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: as well as procedures in case of an attack or threat,

247
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: a lack of security technology cameras, infrared motion detectors. He

248
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: said he was surprised there was no security. There seems

249
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: to be a general failure. You know, he's into the

250
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: right wing terrorism angle. He doesn't he doesn't understand somebody

251
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: of their stature that would not have, you know, a

252
00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: real serious security system. All Right, when we come back,

253
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about somebody that's borrowed from the playbook

254
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: of Gavin Newsom. New York Governor Kathy Holkl who may

255
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: be on her way out in the coming election. Once again,

256
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: she did it during a debate last week. She kind

257
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: of doubled down in a recent interview on MSNBC that

258
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: she thinks the Republicans are making up all this stuff

259
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: about rising crime. It's a conspiracy. We'll play you the clip,

260
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: talk about it, and then give you an amazing, awful

261
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: story that just came out today in New York thanks

262
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: to the fact that, just like us, they got rid

263
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: of bail in a lot of cases, Bill Bail, Johnny

00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,119

00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: another score. No, they're rolling in the second inning. But

282
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: A couple of things this hour on Monday, and John

283
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: really looks forward to this even more than the moist line.

284
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: It's the Hour of Candidates next Monday, November seventh. This

285
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: five pm hour we turn over to you. If you're

286
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: running for office, you get thirty seconds. So if you

287
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: know anybody that's running for office, tell them to come here.

288
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: Line up. We don't really open the phones until just

289
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: after the five o'clock hour begins the old KFI phone number.

290
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: I loathe to give it out now because people just

291
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: start calling I'm running for Monday at five o'clock. We

292
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: have the lines jams. Oh, they usually do put them

293
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: all on hold, don't they. Well it's one eight hundred

294
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: five two zero one five three four. It's not the

295
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: Moist line. It's a different line. Because a woman called

296
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: the Moist line to leave it. Well, she left a

297
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: message wanting us to interview her for running for Assembly.

298
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: I think if we did that, we'd be taken up

299
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: the next two weeks and nobody would care. I did

300
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: get a pitch, though, from a woman who wants to

301
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: put on a guy that wants to argue for that

302
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: special LA tax John on property sales, the one that's

303
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: supposed to build homeless housing. Oh, for god's sakes, yeah,

304
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: that's a big tax. It's the wealthy. I wear a

305
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: no on it. But she just she still thinks that

306
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: the s guy. She wants to put them on to

307
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: make the argument. And at the bottom her sign off

308
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: was the old her set her slash sheet, so she

309
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: gave her pronounce. Oh I don't want to talk to

310
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: pronoun people all right, I don't care what to him mind.

311
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: The governor of New York for now is Kathy Hokel.

312
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: She took over for the disgraced Andrew Cuomo after he

313
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: left office she was lieutenant governor. She faces her own

314
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: election next Tuesday. The latest poll is showing that her

315
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: Republican opponent, Lee Zelden, well marginally overtaken her. She is

316
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: on a crash course for disaster because she is refusing

317
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: to admit, despite the stories coming out of New York

318
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: and other places in that state, that crime's a problem.

319
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: Do you know what she said to Lee Zelden in

320
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: their debate, which I couldn't believe. And this is gonna

321
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: haunt her. And when we tell you this story, you'll

322
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: see why it would haunt her. She told Zelden focused

323
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: the debate on crime, he hammered that home for an hour,

324
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: and hope he got attacked, HOCl. Yeah, he personally was,

325
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: but it was attacked to the campaign trap with a knife. Well,

326
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: Hoko got exasperated with Zelden and finally said, I don't

327
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: know why that's so important to you, meaning his complaints

328
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: about crime. I don't know why that's so important to you,

329
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: to you yeah, and he actually been the victim of

330
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: a knife attack. Well, here she is doubling down on

331
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: that on MSNBC. I think it's Al Sharpton's show. Let's

332
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: listen to this Ravenel. These are master manipulators. They have

333
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: this conspiracy going all across to America to try and

334
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: convince people that in Democratic states they're not as safe. Well,

335
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: guess what, they're also not only election deniers, their data deniers.

336
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: The data shows that shootings and murders are down in

337
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: our state by fifteen percent, even in New York City,

338
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: down twenty percent on Long Island, where Lee Zelden comes from.

339
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: And it's it's it's the Republican states where they have

340
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: almost no restrictions on guns. Because of the abundance of guns,

341
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: people are killing each other with more frequency. The safer

342
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: places are the Democratic state. Well just is from the

343
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom playbook, or a Newsom called in America's Red

344
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: state murder problem. But you know we talked about this

345
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: when Newsom said it. A researcher with the Manhattan Institute,

346
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: Rafael Mangual, actually did the digging into the numbers, and

347
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: he said the deception there is that red states often

348
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: have big blue led cities in them, like New Orleans, Louisiana,

349
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Shreveport, Louisiana. Louisiana is a red state,

350
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: but those are Democrat run cities, and those are the

351
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: ones where all the murders are occurring. Jackson, Mississippi, was

352
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: another example. Mississippi is a red state, but the city

353
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: of Jackson is led by Democrats, and that's where all

354
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: the crimes coming from. And so this is where you

355
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: know they're trying to throw you on here. And most

356
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: of the guns are owned by law abiding citizens who

357
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: never amid crimes. The people who are shooting each other

358
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: in the cities often have illegal guns, stolen guns, ghost guns.

359
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: So it's a total lie that Kathy Hokel and Gavin

360
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: Newsom is telling. It's complete horsecrap. And then there's this story. Yeah,

361
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: this story just came out today from the New York Post.

362
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: A couple of years ago day in New York State,

363
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: they passed this no bail bill similar to some of

364
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: the crap we've had in this state, and it's really

365
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: really led to some problems. A mother of three was

366
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: executed in front of her kids less than twenty four

367
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: hours after her estranged husband was sprung from jail on

368
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: a no bail charge over a beating that she'd posted

369
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: to Facebook. He gave her a beating somehow, she recorded

370
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: it and posted to Facebook as a desperate plea for

371
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: help and clearly evidence of the crime, and yet he

372
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: got no bail. He also has a Ryan kribnicon for

373
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: kidnapping another X at gunpoint, so he went and shot

374
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: her dead. Today he shot the wife. Her name was

375
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: Zakira Benefield. He shot her to death at her home.

376
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: The original video showed Benefield tackling his wife, pinning her down,

377
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: and savagely punching her repeatedly. He was arrested a week

378
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: later after Kira showed the footage to cops, but he

379
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: only got misdemeanor charges and was allowed to leave jail

380
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: with no bail. Unbelievable. New York State has followed the

381
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: horrible road that California other states have. They believed that bail,

382
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: remember no bail, Bob Hertzberg, bail is just it's unfair

383
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: to poorer people, so we have to get rid of

384
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: it now. She got a protective order, but those are

385
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: worthless because the next day Kira was so scared for

386
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: her life she put on a bulletproof vest and set

387
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: off to take her kids to school. As she drove

388
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: the kids, her strange husband crashed her crashed into her vehicle,

389
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: pulled out a shotgun and fired a fatal blast, and

390
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: Wren ran away. He wasn't caught until a week later.

391
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: Now he's being held without bail. So he was only

392
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: charged with misdemeanors for this horrific beatdown of his wife.

393
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: And because he was only charged with misdemeanors, they had

394
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: no choice but to post would give him no bail.

395
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: Of course, they could have charged him with a felony.

396
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: They had the video on Facebook where he repeatedly beat

397
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: her for eight minutes. I I but this is what

398
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: this is what this is. And by the way, the

399
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: judge couldn't even consider Benefield's two thousand conviction and fifteen

400
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: year prison sentence for kidnapping his ex girlfriend because of

401
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: that bail bill that passed a couple of years ago

402
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: when the state legislature in New York. Yeah, so this

403
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: is why you wait until election day to vote, Because

404
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: this story I ought to change some votes. Kathy Hokel

405
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: goes on television and says, I don't see I don't

406
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: know why that's so important to you about crime. And

407
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: then a few days later we find that this poor

408
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: woman was blasted to death by an estranged husband who'd

409
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: been led out on bail after beating her. I mean,

410
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: this is why it's important. Her life was important. In

411
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: front of her kids, she got shot to death driving

412
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: them to school. And if they still elect Kathy Hokel

413
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: as governor, she's new Simon address we will finish coming

414
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: up Johnny Ken Show kf I am six forty New

415
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: Simon Address live everywhere in the iHeart Radio app. I

416
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: think about that this cannot be a coincidence. What is today, John,

417
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: that you've been celebrating with holding an apple? It's World

418
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: Vegan Day. In and Outs owner president Lindsay Snyder announced

419
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: today that one year from now they're gonna have a

420
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: huge seventy fifth anniversary celebration for In and Out. It

421
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: was in nineteen forty eight when Harry and Esther Snyder

422
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: opened the first one in Baldwin Park October twenty two,

423
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: nineteen forty eight. There's now three Hundy one restaurants in

424
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: seven states. You know what I think I wouldn't be surprised.

425
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: I realize it's a year a well, it should be

426
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: October twenty second next year, I think, and take off

427
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: that day and just drive to in and outs and

428
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: eat burgers all day so you can go to this

429
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: event in Pomona. They're going to have all sorts of burgers, right,

430
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: it's they're gonna have drag racing, a car show, celebrity

431
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: musicians as well as their own food trucks. This is

432
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: next year. Can we do a remote? Can we do?

433
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: We should do a show from this in and Out celebration.

434
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: It's it's is October twenty twenty twenty three, a week day.

435
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: Do we know? I don't have a calendar in front

436
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: of what was the date? October twenty second, twenty twenty three,

437
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: So they're giving people a heads up a year ahead

438
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: because they want people to reserve the date. It's a Sunday. Uh, well,

439
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: I guess you can still go, but I can go

440
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: by myself. You can't. We'll Eric will join you. Yeah,

441
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: you'll come, yeah, and we'll just think burgers all day.

442
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: It sounds good to me. Yeah, great day, that's all

443
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: I need. Probably you heard the news that another rapper

444
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: has been shot to death, this time in Houston. Apparently,

445
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: this rapper, known as Takeoff, twenty eight years old, shot

446
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: dead after leaving a private party at a bowling alley.

447
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: Some in this story say they were playing a dice

448
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: game and I guess an argument broke out. Sixty of them, Now, yeah,

449
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: you had the number, maybe sixty one. Yeah. Wikipedia actually

450
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: has a page for rappers who've been killed, who have

451
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: been murdered. I couldn't yeah, And it says here at

452
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: some point, someone in the crowd, seemingly the man that

453
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: was arguing, can be heard saying that listen, man ain't

454
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: gonna be disrespectful like that, and then, apparently not long

455
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: after that, shots rang out. Yeah, he's number sixty. A

456
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: couple of people were shot beyond the rapper. He used

457
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: to be part of a hip hop trio called Migos.

458
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. They did two studies in the mid

459
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: twenty tens, murder was the cause of fifty one and

460
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: a half percent of all hip hop musician deaths. Average

461
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: age of death is twenty five to thirty years of age.

462
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: What was the cause murder? Murder? Murder was the cause

463
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: of death in fifty one and a half percent of

464
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: hip hop musician deaths, with the average age of death

465
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty. Hip hop has a higher rate

466
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: of homicide than any other genre of music, ranging from

467
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: five to thirty two times higher. But sadly, it's the

468
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: story as they tell often in hip hop lyrics, right,

469
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: it's it's just a tough neighborhood's tough times. Yeah, and

470
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: you know this is why we make the argument that

471
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, you need police in need punishment because the

472
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: victims are often black people as well. Yeah, yeah, um yeah.

473
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: According to reports, images show the rapper lying dead in

474
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: a puddle of blood after being shot in the head

475
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,120
