Speaker 1: and we got a lot to do in the three hours.

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: We will, of course have the moist line calls for

9
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: you in the three o'clock hour, and we are throwing

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: somebody into Satan's Lake of Fire. It is the sometimes

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: used Lifetime Achievement Award in place of hack in a dumpster.

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: Though you wanted to take the dumpster throw it in

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: the lake? Is that what you want to do? Want

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: and roll it down the hill and have have the

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: nominee trapped inside the dumpster as it sinks into the

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: lake of fire with the mob rolling it down the hill. Yeah, right,

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: oh okay, and then and then cheer maniacally as the

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: dumpster sinks to the bottom of the lake of fire.

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if we can pull all that off in

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: the three o'clock hour. It's no secret who it's going

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: to be, because we're going to talk about this person

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: right now, in the twenty four hours since we rejoiced

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: at the guilty verdicts against Mark Ridley Thomas, the long

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: time hack LA politician, first on the city Council, then

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: in the legislature, then on the Board of supervise it

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: head back to the city council. Oh my god, what

27
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: you think about it? Thirty something years of this man

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles politics. Something happened overnight and today I

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: was looking at the coverage, all right, most of the

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: coverage I'm looking at it is the al Segondo Times.

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: When Mitch Englander went down and Jose we Sar went down,

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: you didn't see headlines like this. It was just, you know,

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: corrupt politicians got caught up in city hall scandals, right right.

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: But with this guy, Holy Mackwell, one headline the Alcegondo

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Times editorial board, nothing to celebrate about another political corruption

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: verdict in LA. Then there columnist Erica D. Smith. Why

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: a guilty verdict from markard Lee Thomas doesn't feel like

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: justice to black LA. I actually, right before you started speaking,

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: I was looking up the La Times. Erica D. Smith.

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: I put in the search box along with Jose Weezar

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: and Mitch Englander to see if she ran tearful columns

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,279
Speaker 1: when those two were convicted and sent to prison, and shockingly,

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: she didn't. When I was a white councilman going to

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: prison Erica D. Smith had nothing to say. When it

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: was a Hispanic councilman going to prison Erica D. Smith

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: had nothing to say. Only when a blank councilman got

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: black councilman goes to prison, suddenly this is some sort

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: of citywide tragedy. Really, that's pretty much the angle of

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: their coverage. To them, this is the underdog group in

50
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: the United States, and they get all benefits of the doubt.

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: And most of this is just drooling over his political career,

52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: like he was one of the most unbelievable leaders of

53
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: a black community in southern California. I'm like, really, what

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: he was was a bully and he would use race

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: to bully people. We told you yesterday. He did it

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: to us when we had the temerity to suggest that

57
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the LA Coliseum was not in a friendly neighborhood. And

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: he came after us and he hired protesters, and these

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: protesters I remember, were paid off with bag lunches. They

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: gave them. They gave him a little bit of money

61
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: and a bag of lunch to get on a bus

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: and to come to the radio station and protest to

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: get too. We were the morning show then, Yeah, they

64
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: were out there pretty early. Oh yeah, yeah, So that's

65
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: what that's what Ridley Thomas was doing. He was creating

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: fake protests because he was trying to grease another NFL

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: team to move back to the coliseum. And he didn't

68
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: understand why nobody wants to play want him to play

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: in the coliseum, So you know, he would start screaming racism.

70
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: He also and actually a ray found the old audio.

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Remember the the the scam he pulled by using tax

72
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: money to renovate his office. Yes, but when it became supervisor. Yeah,

73
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: and we redid his offices. The major expenses. We do

74
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: it two thousands, if I remember, we got thirty nine

75
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: second clip from this is from two thousand and nine.

76
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm here to celebrate one year of hard work. And um,

77
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: it seems to me to work in an environment that's

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: decent is a part of what it means to keep

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: people motivated is a problem. Yes, it is. Um it's

80
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: um cramped conditions as well as people having double up,

81
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: having to double up in offices are not in terms

82
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: of the environmental impacts in this environment. And there's no

83
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: reason to think this office should have anything less than

84
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: any other office. That day is over. That implies Yeah, yeah,

85
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: that implies that we're Yeah, because that's what I'm saint.

86
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Maybe on the board we've been short shrifted. Yeah, yeah,

87
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: he used race. He said, you're right, he used race

88
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: right there. That was clearly if I remember correctly. Yeah,

89
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: I got it right, because Ray just handed me the story.

90
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: December twenty second, two thousand and nine, LA County supervisors

91
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: ordered the county's chief executive to review a seven hundred

92
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: and seven thousand dollars office renovation proposed by Mark Ridley

93
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: Thomas and he Ridley Thomas said, the discussion of the

94
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: proposed repair and renovation work has become a needless distraction,

95
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: inflamed by misleading and erroneous information. Now it wasn't misleading.

96
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: It was seven hundred and seven thousand dollars because he

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: wanted a bigger, nicer office. And then he starts babbling

98
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: about the environmental impacts, and he had to improve the motivation.

99
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: You're imagine two people in an office, so somebody might

100
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: have to double up in an office. Wow, this is

101
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: an office that hasn't been invested in in over two decades.

102
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: That is not acceptable. He said. The initial cost estimate

103
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: made sense given the scope of the project, replacing office furniture, carpet,

104
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: floor tiles, ceiling lighting, interior woodwork, air conditioning, electrical equipment,

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: and plumbing. And I don't think we should do anything extravagant,

106
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: nor have I over the many years I've been in

107
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: public office. And so this is what this guy is

108
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: is he's always he's full of a lot of pompous arrogance.

109
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: He's entitled. He's been doing money grabs forever. Seven hundred

110
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to renovate an office. That's tax money, that's

111
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: my money, that's your money if you live in La County.

112
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: Now you know he was funneling one hundred thousand dollars

113
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: to USC to give to his dad son, and then

114
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: he wanted all kinds of perks for his son. I mean,

115
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: this is what he's He's a schemer, he's a conniver,

116
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: which is what most of these guys are at office.

117
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with skin color and has to

118
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: do with what he's done, and what he is is

119
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: a crop. He is now a convicted felon. So eric A. D.

120
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Smith hashtashed to ask, to like face reality, your hero

121
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: here is a convicted criminal. Well and he distur admitting

122
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: she wasn't in the room to hear all the arguments

123
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: the juror's made, and he wasn't convicted in all the charges.

124
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: She makes this case. Well, Ridley Thomas didn't go to

125
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. He was convicted for helping his son who

126
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: was resigning from the state Assembly, reportedly for health reasons,

127
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: but also facing a sex harassment investigation. Well, and she writes,

128
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't have children, but I know this is the

129
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: sort of thing the parents understand. Did you miss out

130
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: on one of the big stories right before the pandemic,

131
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Erica D. Smith, All of the parents had got in

132
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: trouble for bribing their kids into top schools. Remember that

133
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: one a lot of them ended up with prison, even

134
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: that the dopey actress ended up with prison, Laurie Locklin,

135
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Laurie Loughlin. So it happens. And those were mostly white people,

136
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: so there's no racial angle to this either. But honestly

137
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: that's they were punished too. So don't act like, oh,

138
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: he should have been given a break because he was

139
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: helping his son. He wasn't remember I said that the

140
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: other day. I said, well, name, it's gonna bother the

141
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: jurors that he didn't get poker chips or hookers or

142
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: bags bothered Erica D. Smith. Apparently it's only corruption if

143
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: you get hookers and gambling chips and bags of cash

144
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: and bags of cache. But I'm waiting for the columns

145
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: she's going to write that says, why a guilty verdict

146
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: for Mitch England or doesn't feel like justice to white La?

147
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: Why a guilty verdict for Jose Weezer doesn't feel like

148
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: justice to Hispanic La? Yeah? And what they were fans.

149
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: But this crowd at the Elsa Gondo Times and others

150
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: have been bopping Kevin di Leone over the head. And

151
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: that's not a corruption case. That's him just sitting there

152
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: and a tape where Nery Martinez was the most outrageous.

153
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: That's right. But you know he's been pillaried and vilified too.

154
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: Oh my god, how many how many stories did they

155
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: run on that he was one? I know? But but

156
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: here here the they have two stories and Ridley Thomas

157
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: and both of them, Oh, it's just such a shame

158
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: he's going to bring So she calls him a one

159
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: man institution in black politics. And apparently he did have

160
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: quite a mob show up at the courthouse to support

161
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: him during the trial. And but it's usually the collection

162
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: of activists and passed. He says, sure, it's it's it's

163
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: the guys that he hired to get on the bus

164
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: to protest us twenty years ago. You know, now now

165
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: they they get hired to show up in protest in

166
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: front of the courthouse. And then my favorite the end

167
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: of the La Times editorial, this doesn't help build trust

168
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: in government or foster healthy civic engagement. You know, there

169
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: have been crooked politicians for as long as there have

170
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: been people elected to offices in the United States. This

171
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: really surprises them. But yeah, this is really a run

172
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: on the city council. As we pointed out yesterday, how

173
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: many of them have either been bounced for stuff that

174
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: they said on that recording or bounce because of corruption.

175
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: All right, we got three on corruption right going a

176
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: federal prison. We got three, uh for that tape, and

177
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: two of the three are no longer on the council.

178
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: That's six. Then you got to throw in Mike Bond

179
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: and he was basically forced out office at seven. And

180
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: then you got these three new communists that won their elections.

181
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: That is ten reprehensible council people that have served in

182
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: just the last few years, ten of them and it's

183
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: only a fifteen member council. This is the worst group

184
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: of anything I've ever seen. I'm just just the worst.

185
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: They are all corrupt, they're hateful, they're stupid. So who

186
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: goes to Las Vegas where they have video cameras everywhere

187
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: and they walked up to the cashier's cage trying to

188
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: cash in the poker chip bride? Yeah, I mean who, right?

189
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: But we'sar did that? They did because they're greeting, They're

190
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: criminal and they're stupid. I've stopped stopped with the Erica D.

191
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Smith columns and the La Times editorials. Please we will

192
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: put him in Satan's Lake of fire. In the three

193
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: o'clock our Johnny Ken kf I AM six forty live

194
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to John and Ken

195
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: on demand from kf I AM sixty. Yeah. All right,

196
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to today. We'll talk

197
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: about Trump. Next hour, we'll bring in a legal expert

198
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: to talk about the story that's of course obsessing all

199
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: network and cable news channels to the indictment by a

200
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: Manhattan attorney. Never have people spoken so much and known

201
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: so little. Yeah, but well, you know, there's a big

202
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: market though for a story like this, for people to

203
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: get paid to shoot off their mouth when they don't

204
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: have the slightest idea what's in the indictment. Then people

205
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: have been waiting two years plus for this, so they

206
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: wanted him arrested for something anything, So like the gun

207
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: control thing. Just do something, anything, Just just do something

208
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: to Trump anything. I don't care if it later gets

209
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: dismissed or I'm not guilty to do something now. I

210
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: want him embarrassed. And he's running for president. I'm emotionally

211
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm emotionally unstable, and I need to be satisfied. Pretty much.

212
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: What it is you're probably aware of. You've been listening

213
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: to it all to the news and traffic reports. The

214
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: ten Freeway is shut down in the area of East

215
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: La Monterey Park. Reports are that police shot and killed

216
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: somebody who ran across the freeway after getting out of

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: a car, probably at the end of some kind of chase.

218
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: It's not clear yet, but what happens then someone said

219
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: there's like a not someone A news report says it,

220
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: there's a body under a sheet, and John loves this part.

221
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: But they take hours and hours to do all their

222
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: forensics and measurements. And so they shot a bad guy

223
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: probably I don't I don't know that, but just will

224
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: roll the body off to the shoulder at least well

225
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: let all otherwise gas one will come and arrest them.

226
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: So they need to make sure they have all of

227
00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: their understand defensive evidence. One criminal wait job, get officer involved.

228
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: Shooting ois is always a huge deal now and so

229
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: now all the all the this guy could have shot

230
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: another guy and ran off and nobody would care. But

231
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: if a police officer pulls this gun, holy crap. Yeah,

232
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: everybody's got to cover this with a microscope. And then

233
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: if all the good people now have to be kept

234
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: from getting to work or wherever they need to go, right,

235
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: all the people who don't break the law now have

236
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: to sit in hours long traffic jam because of this

237
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: whack job. Eastbound I ten at City Terrorist Drive, westbound

238
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: I ten at the seven ten, and northbound seven ten

239
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: to westbound I ten. All lanes will be blocked for

240
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: an unknown duration. Holy gee, that's ridiculous due to police activity.

241
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Now we have the latest roundup on Los Angeles cron

242
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: Something went down, something went up, And these are the

243
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: numbers for twenty twenty two. According to the latest numbers

244
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: from LAPD, murders are down compared to the year before,

245
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: But what is rising significantly is shoplifting. In January twenty

246
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: twenty three, there were eight hundred and five shoplifting reports

247
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: in the city of La the highest monthly total since

248
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: at least twenty ten. And those are only the reports

249
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: that come in to police. Many stores tolerate shoplifting without

250
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: calling the police because it's a waste of time. But yeah,

251
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: they were kind of I thought we were kind of

252
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: funneling out. Remember all the smashing grabs. Remember they were

253
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: driving cars into jewelry stores, trucks and the grabbing stuff.

254
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: And then there were guys getting their watches and phones

255
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: stolen off the streets. That was going on. It seemed

256
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: like a string of those from months and then it

257
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: wasn't that long ago that LAPD announced that they were

258
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: disbanding one of the task horses that was responsible for

259
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: the follow home robberies. Now shopliftings different. I'd leave a

260
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: different type of I guess investigation. Well, the cops also

261
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: busted up some of those smashing grab rings. Yeah, a

262
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: lot of times they are organized rings, and once you

263
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: smash them up, they can sometimes involve dozens of people.

264
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: And it was the same guys over and over committing

265
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: those crimes. So those rings were busted up. I'm sure

266
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: they'll be back out on the streets soon. These are

267
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: probably more freelancers because increasingly, you know, the more you

268
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: shoplift and the more you get away with, the more

269
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: you're going to shoplift and don't show you how really

270
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: stupid this is. Channel two says downtown Los Angeles has

271
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: been hit really hard. They talked to a couple of people,

272
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: a husband and wife. They run something called the Santee

273
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Beauty Center in the Fashion district of downtown LA. I

274
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: like her name, Mabuba ruse Behini. Well, they own the

275
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: beauty shop thirty years of business. There a shoplifting recently,

276
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: way off the charts. Just last week. Somebody comes in

277
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: and steals a thousand dollars worth of hair clippers. What

278
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: do you do? With that, they just take a place

279
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: that looks good. They go in and grab whatever they

280
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: think is shiny. I don't really under stay. Yeah, although

281
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: that's that's expensive hair clippers. But did they know that

282
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: or they just grabbing anything these drug addicts looking for

283
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: something defence. You could you could sell them on eBay. Well,

284
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: it says we put two of the most expensive haircutting

285
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: combos in front of him. The minute my husband looked away,

286
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: he grabbed them and ran out of the shop. So

287
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: I guess he came in and pretended he wanted some

288
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: sort of a haircut or Yeah, so they were like,

289
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: maybe you ask them, oh, what are your best clippers?

290
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: You take a look. I remember seeing I didn't laugh.

291
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: I feel bad for this couple. Now. I remember seeing

292
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: a TV news story on how this works. Is the

293
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: shop It's also can be an organized ring where the

294
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: shoplifters take stuff and then they go off to a

295
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: central meeting point, maybe it's a warehouse. At the warehouse,

296
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: they get paid by the fence for what they've stolen.

297
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: The fencers in turn put it on eBay, and I

298
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: remember they went online and you could see all the

299
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: stole and stuff showing up on eBay right, and I

300
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: bet you if you type in hair clippers, you'll probably

301
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: find the ones. The guy stole. Kenoga Park followed downtown

302
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: Los Angeles with four hundred and forty eight incidents reported

303
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. And of course the story doesn't

304
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: say it specifically, although it says it's petty theft, that

305
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: the stolen merchandise is less than nine hundred and fifty dollars,

306
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: we'll say it that's thanks to Prop forty seven. Yeah,

307
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: that jump voters passed in the year twenty fourteen. Well,

308
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: if we had intelligent newswriters and news editors, they would

309
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: put that in every story about shoplifting so that the

310
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: public understands that they're the ones who created this situation.

311
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: You created it if you voted yes on Prop forty

312
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: seven back in twenty fourteen. It's the public's fault. Now.

313
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: You were fooled because you were told it was a

314
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: School and Neighborhood Safety Act, if I remember correct, I

315
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: was out with the name of Yes, Yes, Well, yeah,

316
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: because they promised that the money that they save on

317
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: imprisoning everybody for felonies they could turn around and use

318
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: for rehab. Right, they could make them better people, therefore

319
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: making neighborhoods in schools safe because all the drug addicts

320
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: would be in in treatment. They would be in treatment,

321
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: they would be in some type of rehab job training.

322
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was they promised, but they

323
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: didn't do anything like that because it was all and

324
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: was that. Kamala Harris, who was the Attorney general, wrote

325
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: that I think maybe I know it was twenty fourteen

326
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: had passed. I don't remember who was in office. That's

327
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: coming up on nine years ago already that election. But yeah,

328
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny when you mentioned, well, when I

329
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: mentioned this guy going into the beauty shop and apparently

330
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: they laid out some clippers in front of them. They

331
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: just grabbed them. Iran. I saw this was some months ago.

332
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: But I also saw a TV story. Apparently some people

333
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: will go into jewelry stores and this isn't smash and grab.

334
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: They actually have you. They lay out a bunch of

335
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: watches for you to look at, and they do some

336
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: sort of slight of hand where you have to watch

337
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: carefully and if you look away for a moment, like

338
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: the clerk, they slip one into their pocket. It's pretty

339
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: cool to watch they had surveillance cameras showing one guy

340
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: doing it. Can get They do distract you somehow, and

341
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: and there's somebody watches out on the counter. You might

342
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: if you're the clerk, forget that you gave him. Tend

343
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: to look at now there's only nine. Yeah, is this

344
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: what magicians doing? They can't get work? Yeah, I think

345
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: it is. It was. It was pretty good. And apparently

346
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: this guy's been they said, this guy's shown up. We've

347
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: seen him in several jewelry stores doing the same scam

348
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: where it has to be a customer looking for a

349
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: moment to pocket something. If some jewelry stores, it's hard

350
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: to get into because they'll have a locked door and

351
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: they'll also have one of those folding metal gates, yes,

352
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: and they'll have an armed guard and you have to

353
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 1: ring the doorbell and then all the employees stare at

354
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: you right their heads are bobbing from left to right

355
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: trying to get good look at you. And then the

356
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: security guard will slide the metal gate and then unlock

357
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: the glass door and then you're allowed in. Which this

358
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: is what you have to do. You have to do.

359
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: You can't just trust people more up it up Ken

370
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: at Dumpster Today special edition Satan's Lake a fire all

371
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: on the way, we'll talk about the Trumpster Well, Doctor

372
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: Royal Oaks, ABC News for KFI. They're illegal expert to

373
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: come on and talk about the overwhelming big story. Trump

374
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: is supposed to surrender on Tuesday is now the word.

375
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: What we'll be interesting to follow is the chaos. We

376
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: understand that there have already been some anti Trump people

377
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: gathering outside Trump Tower, and then there's the belief that

378
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: Trump supporters will find their way somewhere to New York,

379
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: whether it's where Trump has to go for the legal

380
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: proceedings or Trump Tower to face off against the anti

381
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: Trump people. We don't know, but it'll be a collection

382
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: of crazies. It's a good way to spend the day

383
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: if you're insane. I always wished I was. I got

384
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: to New York a couple of times, and year almost

385
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: wished I was there for take some photos and videos.

386
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: Do you know New York City is having all every

387
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: single officer, regardless of in uniform, on duty for Tuesday.

388
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: That's like thirty six thousand officers. Well that the city

389
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: should be pretty safe, except for the crazies that might

390
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: start killing each other. I don't know. In fact, there

391
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: was a question whether they were going to ask for

392
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: because in Washington, DC, you get military units like National

393
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: Guard units right away and they helped defend the capital

394
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: because it's all government buildings, and so there was a thought, well,

395
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: well New York need that contingent, and they said no, no, no, no,

396
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: NYPD they train extensively for every disaster possible. We got

397
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: thirty six thousand guys, but we don't need any outside

398
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: military help. They're their own military force. So good, you know,

399
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm good. I hope there's a lot of protesters, and

400
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: I hope they get what coming from NYPD. Those guys

401
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: don't fool around, right, And of course, as an amusing story,

402
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: will go through that John mentioned yesterday, but we have

403
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: more detail that Trump could actually win this election and

404
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: be president while in prison. It is possible, yes, but

405
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: that would be very entertaining. You could run the country

406
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: from prison. My favorite part of the story, John, if

407
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: you read it yet, was Yeah, what do you do

408
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: with the guy that has to carry the briefcase with

409
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: the nuclear codes? How does he he's in prison with you,

410
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: how do you keep that nearby? Right? He's his bunk mate.

411
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: That's right, he's your roommate. Ver weird? All right, we'll

412
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: get into all of this in the Big two o'clock hour.

413
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: One of the stories that made news earlier this week

414
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: is well sad. A week ago we found out that

415
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: Garsetti is ambassador to India. But Philip Washington, who used

416
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: to be the head of La Metro, gave up on

417
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: trying to become the new head of the FAA, the

418
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: Federal Aviation Administration, So maybe he'd come back, John, to

419
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: be the chief of Metro. They added another one of

420
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: their town hall call ins, It's fascinating how they do this.

421
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: They spend an hour, and I guess the board members

422
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: sit there and they want to listen to writers. So

423
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: a computerized system contacted fifty thousand cell phones and fifty

424
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: thousand land lines. And how many of that hundred thousand

425
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: calls do you think said sure, I'll participate a small percentage.

426
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: It is a small percentage, but it was twenty four

427
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,239
Speaker 1: hundred people. Yeah that is a small percentage of one

428
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. But yeah, well that's two percent. And well,

429
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: first of all, you have to probably have experienced Metro.

430
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: I want to say something, although it'd be funny for

431
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: you and I just to say something anyway. Yeah, I

432
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: never get one of these calls. I didn't notice it either.

433
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: I don't know how it appeared. These, of course, are

434
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: people with nothing to do in the middle of the day,

435
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: and so they're happy to be online to complain about

436
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: a Metro system. They never use. The media coverage of

437
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: this in the Los Angeles Daily News doesn't doesn't make

438
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: it sound like anybody called in to say anything positive.

439
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect that anyway. But there are people that

440
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: really just want to You're doing a great job. Thank

441
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: you for your service. One guy complained about the long

442
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: waits he has between stops with the bus lines. Get

443
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: a car, writing not the guy, no, no, this complain

444
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: there's not a rail connection to Sofi Stadium. Wow down

445
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: the good ones, commit Dan of North Hollywood. So the

446
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: biggest issues are crime, drug use, and large numbers of

447
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: mentally unhoused people housed lingering at stations and riding trains

448
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: and buses. The Metro wasn't aware of this. How long

449
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: have they been aware of this? And how come it's

450
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: still too many people. I was gonna say, why are

451
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: they having this town hall call in? Just go because

452
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: it's for show. Just take a train. They're virtue signaling

453
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: their im media coverage and it's like they care, they're concerned.

454
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: We're listening to the listening tour. Yeah, we have an

455
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: open door policy. We listened to the public. We conduct

456
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: these regularly to understand what's on their mind and what

457
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: challenges we all face in the Metro, says them, because

458
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: our passengers safety is of the highest priority. Dan took

459
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: a shot at the new ambassadors. They're called Metro Transit Ambassadors.

460
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: They wear this woman's got like a colorful fluorescent divest on.

461
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: But the big m on. It should be every big

462
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: l They hired thousands of these people to be on

463
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: the buses and trains. They carry no weapons. They're there

464
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: to try to keep the peace. He said that they

465
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: they're not doing any good. So they talked to Metro's

466
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 1: chief safety officer. There's a job ga Osborne. Yeah, she's

467
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: in every story. She's she's like one of the worst

468
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: adminished traders in city history, and she's in charge of safety.

469
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: I feel like she was a traffic reporter on the

470
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: radio at one point. I recognize that name. No am

471
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: I imagining that. I just feel like she was. She

472
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: says they're helpful because they send in messages to our

473
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: security operation system. Oh that's nice messages. Hi, jump on

474
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: the seat, Yeah, it says it says here that um,

475
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: the ambassador's greet customers and calling problems to authorities. I'm

476
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: going on a train. I don't need to be greeted. HI,

477
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: how you doing, Welcome to Metro. It's like, no, get

478
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: the guy laying in his vomit out of my seat.

479
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: That's what I want you to do. Don't talk to me.

480
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: Then there was Nicholas at Pomona. He says the homeless

481
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: are all over the Metro Gold Line in Pasadena. It's

482
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: by the way. In case you don't follow this, and

483
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: why would you. They're no longer the colors. It's the

484
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: L Line now. I think they thought when they were

485
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: expanding the rail line that they'd run out of colors.

486
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: So there's no longer red blue. It's the Gold Line

487
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: is now the L Line. Do you ever go to

488
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: a paint shop. There's thousands of colors? That is true

489
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: in a Crayola box. Yeah, for sure, there's sixty four

490
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: in your basic Crayola box. And by the way, today's

491
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: nationale Crayon Day. I thought I just showed that in

492
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: Is that right? I did? I heard that news report

493
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: this morning. Yeah. I love crayon colors. When I was

494
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: a kid, I could spend hours just looking at the colors.

495
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: Didn't you didn't draw, though, did you? I didn't draw. No,

496
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: I just looked at the colors. I didn't like to

497
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: mess up the crayons. I did like to look at

498
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: the color names too. Bert Sierra um Perrywinkle Osborne said

499
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: you should all download the La Metro Transit Watch app

500
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: on your smartphone, report or text an incident or the

501
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: location of an encampment. Oh yeah, that'll get addressed. That's right,

502
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: and then we'll read your texts and then we'll delete them.

503
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: We'll ignore you, and the encaton will be there the

504
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: next time you come, but we'll tell the media that

505
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: we got your texts and we're right on it. Marissa,

506
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: who rides it's now known john as the Bee Line,

507
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: formerly the Red Line. That's the one that ran through

508
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: our old neighborhood and Korea Town where read the show

509
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: from that studios. It's the Bee Line that this story

510
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: was making news a couple of weeks ago. They play

511
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: classical music at the West Lake Magarthur Park station to

512
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: keep the loiterers away, and she says it's actually incredibly

513
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: loud and blaring, but then asked if they're going to

514
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: blast at other stations. So I couldn't tell if she

515
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: was saying that it seems like a good idea, can

516
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: you do it at more stations, or she just found

517
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: it to annoy I couldn't figure that out. From a

518
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: Metro Chief Operations officer who's Conan Chung said, the loud

519
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: music is part of our pilot program that includes blocking

520
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: off dark entrances, adding brighter lighting and adding patrols by

521
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: Metro ambassadors. They're claiming that crime has dropped since they

522
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: started doing this a few months ago. They claimed that

523
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: at that particular station, I'm saying. Helen of Culver City

524
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: said it's difficult to reach the street level at the

525
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Red Line stop in Universal City because the escalators and

526
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: elevators frequently are not working well because the elevators are dirty.

527
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: Now we know what this could mean. That's right, because

528
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: escalators get clogged with human feces, and sometimes people sleep

529
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: in the elevators and do peep and poop poo. That's right.

530
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: And so when you open the elevator door, whoa, there's

531
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: a turret on the floor. Somebody dying here. She didn't

532
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: say that, but there's often well, yeah, we learned sometimes

533
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: somebody has died in there. I mean, it's our favorite

534
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: story of all time. But one of the bart stations

535
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, the escalators got clogged with poop stopped.

536
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: How much poop do you have to drop to stop

537
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: an escalator? And I have seen transitations. There are some

538
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: people who just sleep in the elevators because they think

539
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: it's like a private room. Because they just let their

540
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: blanket on the floor and they figure out if you

541
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: see them in there, you'll just go in a different direction. Yeah,

542
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: they do that in Monica the parking garages. Oh, by

543
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: the way, maybe we do this next week in Santa Monica.

544
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: And we we've chronicled the degradation of Santa Monica. There

545
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: there was on the next I have to I have

546
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: to print it out and organize it. But it's on

547
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: the next door. App was several complaints that now prostitution

548
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: is rampant. Uh near the promenade. No there, Yeah, it's right.

549
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: I used to go there, while don't go there, and

550
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: I used to take my out of town guests there

551
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: because no, I thought it was close to the to

552
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: the Santa Monica Peter, don't take them, No, don't take

553
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: them there. Apparently there's lots of prostitution, um male on female,

554
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: male on mail. The prostitutes are doing it for drugs,

555
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: and it's all around the area. And then, of course

556
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: only in Santa Monica. A fight broke out online. Uh,

557
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, some people didn't think it was that bad

558
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: and that you're just stigma stigmatizing the local sex workers.

559
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: All right, we got Moorko. Is that what they said.

560
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: There's more. Cup it up. Johnny kN KF I Am

565
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: our questions about the indictment, including I heard a couple

566
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: of stories today that it could get thrown out. It's

567
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: actually possible that that could happen somewhere in the court system.

568
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: And of course, will this end up in the US

569
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Supreme Court somehow? Is that well? Then Trump will win?

570
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: Those are his guys there, Those are mostly his guys there.

571
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: And whether or not Trump can still run for president

572
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: and serve as president even if he ended up with

573
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: a prison term out of these charges. All of this

574
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: will get to in the big two o'clock hour. I

575
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: thought you were going to read breaking news concerning Trump. No, no, no,

576
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: I should have read that at the beginning, and then

577
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: I would have felt bad that I didn't know what

578
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: you were going to talk about. Man, she gets up,

579
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: She like shut up at her chain too. I'm standing

580
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: at attention. What did I miss What did I miss?

581
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: I miss something? No, no, no, just another Dodger promo.

582
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: All right, then, of course we have the moistline and

583
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,360

584
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: At three thirty five, it will be Satan's Lake of Fire.

585
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,120

00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas who will go into Satan's Lake of Fire

587

Speaker 1: will roll him into the dumpster and then I'll open

593
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,840

Speaker 1: is a this is a historic Lifetime Achievement award. This

599
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: is thirty years of corruption that's been flushed into the lake. Yes,

600
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: I would say that while this guy has been horrific.

601
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: You know, Unlike Bonning, he's never come up with exact

602
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: policies or positions that I would go, oh my god,

603
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: this guy's got to go. But yeah, he's been annoying

604
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: for other reasons. Yeah, Ridley Thomas is about enriching himself

605
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: and his family, um, but Bonnen was about destroying the city.

606
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: He believes in that whole difference agenda. Well, John, they're

610
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: found a way to get headlines with this story, How

611
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: would you like to eat a Willy mammoth meat ball?

612
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Willy mammoth the extinct. Yeah, they kind of looked like

613
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: an elephant with like long hair. Did they find Well, well,

614
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: the DNA sequence that they got and I don't know

615
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: why or not, you know, they must go back through

616
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: some long shine of DNA to be traced back to

617
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: the actual wooly mammoth. They got mamoth DNA and they

618
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: able to turn the DNA into a meatball. Yes, And

619
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: the reason they're doing this trust And they tell you

620
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: and I've tried this before, and you're not really a

621
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: big fan of this. But the new they're given up

622
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: on fake meat. Okay, I think that's become there's a

623
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: small contingent that will eat that crap made from soy

624
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: or squash, peas or whatever it'd be on meat. That's

625
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: so they're going in another direction. And we brought this

626
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: up a few months ago and you poo poo the

627
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: idea it's going to be lab cultured meat. Huh, all right,

628
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: so this way we're not killing the animals and we

629
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: can produce a lot of meat from just cells. That's

630
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: what they're going to do. Yeah. Yeah, So to get

631
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: another headline, they came out with this story about the

632
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: mammoth meatball. You can't actually eat it. They're not going

633
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: to actually serve it, but they wanted to present it

634
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: so the meatia would go, oh, people will click that

635
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: story a wooly mammoth meatball, And sure enough I did.

636
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: I did too, I did too. So they said, we

637
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: did this on purpose to get people excited about the

638
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: future of food being different to potentially what we had before.

639
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: They're always trying to get people excited for something that

640
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 1: nobody wants to get excited about everyone is who eats

641
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: me is happy eating meat. We're not. I'm not looking

642
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: for alternatives. I don't need a wooly mammoth meatball. They

643
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: don't care well well, and I don't care about what

644
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: they care about. Just mind your own business. I'm gonna working.

645
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: Stop over all the land and water that you're a

646
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: cattle use and farts, I'm not. I'm not worried about

647
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: the air being filled with cal methane or or the

648
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: water that's being used to to grow the Okay, but

649
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: what if half the meat eaters are open to the idea.

650
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: They'd probably take that as a victory. Not you, but

651
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: maybe half of them would be open to the idea. Nobody.

652
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna eat cultured meat. It's gonna be one of

653
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: those weirdo products at the end of the meat display case.

654
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: But it is meat, you see, just because it's grown

655
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: from cells. But it's still meat. I gotta see what

656
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: it tastes like. So far, it's not a substance. In

657
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: my entire life. Everything that's been sold to me that's fake,

658
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: but it takes just like has been that is true,

659
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: including everything that Debor has brought into the studio. Desserts.

660
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: Uh not desserts. Well what dessert did actually taste like

661
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: a real dessert. Everyone that I've brought into you you

662
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: said you don't do that. I have. I've told you before.

663
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: I just haven't lately because I don't lie to you.

664
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: They don't. Well, let's be clear. Vegan desserts means that

665
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: you don't have the dairy, which is the butter and

666
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: the right exactly. Okay, but that's different. Then you can

667
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: bring something that meat you don't taste taste okay, but

668
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But I don't eat any any substitute meat products, ken,

669
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: So I haven't. I haven't brought the only thing I

670
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: think I talk to you guys about. No, No, actually

671
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: I know, because I don't. I don't eat any of that.

672
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't cook any fake stuff. Yeah, I don't. I don't.

673
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: There's no market for this stuff because people who like meat,

674
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: I mean I go out with with a group of

675
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: guys would go out every couple of months for like

676
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: a steak dinner, and everyone's excited about ordering a steak.

677
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a whole ritual to go out

678
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: for a steak dinner and pick out that kind of meat.

679
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: That you want and off the menu or sometimes you know,

680
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: they roll it by. It's like there's yeah. But people

681
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: that are vegan, they want and they maybe they miss

682
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: they miss meat. They do it because they don't they

683
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: don't want to an animal, so they want they miss that,

684
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: and it's the it's gonna be. It's gonna be people

685
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: who wear masks the whole food. It'll be that demographic.

686
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: No one gets excited when they roll ahead of cabbage.

687
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: I do. I get so excited when I go to

688
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: restaurants and I see beautiful vegetables and keys of fresh

689
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 1: salady in front of you, and they make fresh wacamole

690
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: in front of you. Eric jumps on that one. He

691
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: likes that one. Yeah, John, John, no doubt, no, no,

692
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: because that comes from well here's what in twenty fifteen,

693
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: they managed the sequence the Willie Mammoth's complete genome that

694
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: made that meatball possible. Now, that's not going to be

695
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: the actual product, but in the end, yes, they hope

696
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: to grow meat such as the steak. John Eat said

697
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: his favorite steak restaurant from cells in laboratories. And it

698
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: just sounds awful though it does cells and send it

699
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: out to the restaurants to cook up. I guess, and

700
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it was salmon, though they farm salmon,

701
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: that is true. But but they actually they actually have

702
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: creatures though that they kill. It's just that they hatch them.

703
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: There it's real salmon, but doesn't get out. Yeah, this

704
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 1: won't be see Debra Marks should like this idea a

705
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: little bit better, don't you, Debora? Markets are killing animals

706
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: are absolutely, They're just using cells from living animals. I mean,

707
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: I still think it's gross and I wouldn't I don't

708
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: want a part of it. But but I'm glad that

709
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: no animals are are harmed. Oh yeah, well, let's see

710
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: what it tastes like. You know, it always fails the

711
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: taste test always. Oh, you have it in your head.

712
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: You'll never give any thing a chance. I don't have to.

713
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: I like what I have. I like real meat. I'm

714
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: not worried about killing the animals. I'm not worried about

715
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: the calb gas in the atmosphere. Do you like animals? John,

716
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: don't you want to pursue you? You have a soft

717
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: spot for animals? Sure, and I like them when I

718
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: eat them too. He's gonna eat his bearded lizard oh no,

719
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: don't talk about the bearded dragon. Oh my god, what's

720
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: that teaser for the moist line? Okay, yeah, yeah, because

721
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: she admitted she killed dragon many years ago. I did not.

722
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: She had to exactly thank you because it was beyond help.

723
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: I did the humane thing. That's humane, Okay. I could

724
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: have just left left it in the tank struggling for

725
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: air and dying because you didn't feed it. I did

726
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: feed it. I told you it was the temperature. I

727
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: couldn't get that right. I was a first time Bearded

728
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: Dragon owner. It was for my son. We gotta We'll
