1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Hurricane Egan is a hurricane again. That's something you should know. 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: We'll talk next hour about what's going on in Florida 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: as they prepare for landfall in the southern states that 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: include Georgia and the Carolinas. A little break up when 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: it hits there, but because it took to the Atlantic 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: Ocean crossing Florida, it is back to hurricane status one. 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: All that coming up in the five o'clock hour runs 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: Johnny kinshow Alex being away of a running for reelection 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: as sheriff of La County and he's on the line here, 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: put him, put him on. Let's go, sheriff. How are you, Oh, 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: not too bad. How are you doing? We're doing good. 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: How's your campaign going? You know, we want to go ahead. 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy a direction we're going. I think we 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: got we have a strong message, and we have an 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: opposition that's kind of a comical because they're so busy 16 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: trying to defend the indefensible that, uh, they're they're scrambling 17 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: now where I'm just doing my job, and I doing 18 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: my job. What what are the indefensible claims that your opponent, 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: Robert Luna is making. Well, I see he's Really, he's 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: the opponent in name only. He's a name on a 21 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: piece of paper. He's about his shallow as a piece 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: of paper, has no plan, no policy, no no proposal 23 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: at all to run for sheriff. The only reason he's 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: gotten this far is because the political establishment has circled 25 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: their wagons around and say, Hey, this is our guy, 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: because he will look the other way. He's going to 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: support everything we do, good or bad. That is not leadership. No, 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: we didn't want a puppet. We want someone who actually 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: going to act independenting. That's what I'm doing, That's what 30 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: I've done. Our public corruption unit is doing their job. 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: We work with the Attorney General, we work with the 32 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: fens and uh. It makes people locally uncomfortable because they're 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: not used to have him that level of scrutiny. But 34 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: I think transparency, accountability matter. Well, I went to the bay, 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: I heard a lot of it on the radio and 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: then and then I saw the last twenty minutes or 37 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: so that night. Um, and what was interesting is you're 38 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: portraying him as a puppet because he has the support 39 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: of the entire county Board of Supervisors, and he was 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: trying to turn it around as hey I can work 41 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: with them, be in a way that can't work with anybody. 42 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: And there's a fine line between working with, you know, 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: the Board of Supervisors and being their puppet. Can you 44 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: differentiate maybe where that line is? Yeah, I mean to 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: some extent, you do have to work with them. But 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,119 Speaker 1: I know, I know they have a very hostile relationship 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: with you, and it's and they've been the aggressors, there's 48 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: no question. But but how do you how do you 49 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: how do you somehow finesse that so you get what 50 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: you want to accomplished. Well, one thing is that remember 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: they hired a law firm to assume me my first 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: month in office. That was my introduction to relationships with 53 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: the Board of Supervisors. But I've said this again and again. 54 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: If they are doing the right thing, they're serving the 55 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: interests of the community and the men and woman who 56 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: actually bear the brunt of public safety, I will stand 57 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 1: shoulder to shoulder with him and seeing their praises, I've 58 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: said again and again in a few times they've done 59 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the right thing, I have sung their praises and I'm 60 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 1: committed to do that with this board and the new 61 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: board that will be seated in December. That is my 62 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: commitment because I need to have an ethical, incompetent board 63 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: of supervisor who are serving they needed to their constituents 64 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: and investing in public safety, not be funding it. And 65 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: my opponent wants to work for the Board of Supervisors. 66 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: There's a difference right there. There's a reason why Mark 67 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: really Thomas refused to meet or talk to me the 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: entire two years we overlapped our terms in office. Why 69 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: do you think that they say an honest man is 70 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: never welcome in the dent of thieves, and he proved it? 71 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: Did he didn't know? We're seriously, do you think he 72 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: was you were onto him? I don't think I was 73 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: on him because I had no idea what they were doing. 74 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: But he knew that I cannot be bought, I cannot 75 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: be controlled, and so I had no value to him 76 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: in his corrupt schemes, and so I was dismissed in 77 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: his mind, and Okay, I'm gonna move on to other 78 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: people that I can control and manipulate, and his entire career, 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: that's that's the history we're hearing. And looking at his 80 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: indictment and look at the one going on with a 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: supervisor fuel. There's a lot of similarities there, and people 82 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: just you're going to have to start admitting maybe there's 83 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: something going on. When you ran in twenty eighteen, did 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: any of the board of supervisors support your campaign? Not 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: a single one. Remember, they rallied around the incumbent, who 86 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: was one who would look the other way. That was 87 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: the whole idea, why they're supported incumbent, Why they're supporting 88 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: Luna because he will look the other way. I don't 89 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: look the other way. I just do my job. Yeah, 90 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: your predecessor was rarely in the news. I can't think 91 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: have one major story that Jim McDonald that we I 92 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: mean might have had him on the show once or twice, 93 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: but I can't remember a major story that he was 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: involved in that we had any interest in. And you 95 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: hardly a week goes by where you were not involved 96 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: in something that most people want action taken on. I mean, 97 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: the you know, all the homeless encampment cleanups is a 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: great example of that. Yeah, Unfortunately, I don't know if 99 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: by divine providence or by just darned luck bad luck, 100 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: that I wind up with all of these either man 101 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: made or naturally made scandals or crisises that have to 102 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: be addressed, and we've we've been doing our best with 103 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: everything that's in front of us, and there's challenges and 104 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: we need to keep working hard because they're not getting 105 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: any smaller, they're getting bigger. Yeah. And the thing is, 106 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: this is what confounds me about politics in La County. 107 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: It's obvious that all the homeless encampments are gross and 108 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: disgusting and children shouldn't have to see this and they 109 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: should be cleaned up. So you're trying to clean it up, 110 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: and they're angry with you for it. And the same 111 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: thing with all the all the crazy people and the 112 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: homeless living on the metro trains and the buses. Nobody 113 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: normal wants to take a train because they're terrified if 114 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: people being set on fire, and so you are trying 115 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: to do something about it, and they're putting up every 116 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: roadblock possible, and I just I can't believe they're not 117 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: on your team for this. Well, remember their calculus. Their 118 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: number one priority is reelection and cater to whoever they 119 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: think is going to facilitate their reelection. So hey, let's 120 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: demonize law enforcement. All cops are bastard, let's defund them 121 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: and fund are contracting out of government service to the 122 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: private nonprofit see the homeless industrial complex, and we'll make 123 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: the sheriff be the bad guy. And that's how we 124 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: get we in elections, and unfortunately it screws over the community. 125 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: But that's never been their big concern for them. It's 126 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: all about political power and exercising it. So has Luna 127 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: laid out a plan on how to deal with the homeless, 128 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: encamp wins, how to deal with all the all the 129 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: insanity on the buses and the trains. I heard him 130 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,239 Speaker 1: talking about you not getting along with supervisors. I didn't 131 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: hear much of that debate of what he's going to be, 132 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, beyond the vague generalities that everybody rattles, what 133 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: what I mean? What specifically has he said? Is there 134 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: something he said that you disagree with that he has 135 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: a bad plan or does he have no plan? He 136 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: has no plan whatsoever. He's going to continue the failed 137 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: plans of the county in the city and he's going 138 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: to rubber stamp it. That's his job as a puppet. 139 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: And I've been waiting to hear something coming out of 140 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: him because it hasn't happened yet. Saying that it's bad, bad, 141 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: bad is not a plan. Everybody knows that, all right, 142 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: So you feel good about reelection chances, Well, I'm cautiously optimistic. 143 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: I feel very positive that people are starting to figure 144 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: it out and they realize I'm here for a purpose, 145 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: which is to serve the community, make l a livable again. 146 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: And public corruption, unfortunately, is a necessary fight because that 147 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: robs us of the resources we need to combat homelessness 148 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: and violent crimes. So we have to address that. We 149 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: can't ignore it, all right, right, Sheriffy in Auava, thanks 150 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: for coming on again. You got it all right. That 151 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: is La County Sheriff Alex vien Aueva, hoping to be 152 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: re elected in November. He just has the one opponent 153 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: thanks to the runoff in June. That is the former 154 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: chief of Police of Long Beach, Robert Luna, who is 155 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: basically a nothing. This is going to be all about 156 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: SHERIFFI and Auava. Whether it's sort of like trumping on 157 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: the ballot in some ways, it's just people who like 158 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: him will vote for him or versus this crowd that 159 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: does not like him and wants him out. I think 160 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: Luna's just as you heard the sheriff described, kind of 161 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: a puppet. Yeah, placeholder of the Board of Supervisors. This 162 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: is the one that finished second out. I think there 163 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: was seven opponents Siraphina Wave in the primary. I mean 164 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: the supervisors are are just public enemy number one, two, three, 165 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: four there. I'll exempt Catherine Barger about half the time, 166 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: but the rest of them, they're just making life miserable 167 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: in La County. And Vietnueva is the only one opposing them. 168 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: All Right, We got more coming up here on the 169 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show on kf I AM six forty 170 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app coming up after four thirty. 171 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: The latest in the La politicians. That's the county and 172 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: the city versus the landlords. When, if ever do these 173 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: ridiculous tenant protections end, We'll give you the latest chapter 174 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, tenant protections over COVID from twenty twenty. Wow, 175 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: just like Newsome's emergency powers, some things have hung around 176 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: well way too long. Well, you'll hold it and save 177 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: it for all right, I'll hold it. Well, we're gonna 178 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,479 Speaker 1: get to that, and we're gonna get to the hurricane 179 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour. But I know you have 180 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: a lot to say about this story. Because you sent it. 181 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: And you know what, when I read the headline, I 182 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: misread it. Former Pacific Gas and Electric executives agree to 183 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen million dollars settlement over California wildfires. 184 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: And I thought that that's PG and E money, But 185 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: it's actually not. It's a lawsuit against the former officers 186 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: and directors directly against them. Yeah, they're gonna have to 187 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: pay out one hundred and seventy Yeah, that's unusual. I know. 188 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: It's a civil lawsuit. And this is what I've always 189 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: been saying that if you could find a way to 190 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: a fine sue and take large amounts of money from 191 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: corporate executives, you'd see it. A lot of this nonsense stop. 192 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: For example, did we keep reading that some of them 193 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: left with huge parachutes piles of money. Yeah, they went 194 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: out the door at PG and E. They've had a 195 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: number of top executives. Oh it's about time some people 196 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: went after them, and sure enough they they got sued. 197 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: This is in connection with a couple of fires, one 198 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen North bayfires and then the big one, 199 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen camp fire, the one that destroyed Paradise 200 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: California and killed all those people. That's what these two were. 201 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: These lawsuit was about. Yeah, they were sued by a 202 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: victim that claimed the deadly fires were a direct result 203 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: of the former executive's actions. Yes, yes, I couldn't believe 204 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: this when I saw the story. And so they got 205 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: these executives to pay one hundred and seventeen million dollars. 206 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: Because everybody always talks about these these corporations in the abstract, well, 207 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's the energy companies, it's PG and E. 208 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: And it's like, no, there are people at PG and 209 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: E who get up in the morning, put on their 210 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: shabby little suit and they make decisions to kill people 211 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: when you have when you have a something that here, 212 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: it is a power line one hundred years old that 213 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: sparked the camp fire. PG and E took over that 214 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: power line in nineteen thirty, so this power line was 215 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: ignored for eighty seven years by people who worked at 216 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: PG and E, including whoever the last executives were at 217 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: the time of the fire. So it's their fault. It's 218 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: not just pgene's fault, it's their fault. So PGENE had 219 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: to pay all the all the fines to the state 220 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: but the people whose homes burned or suffered deaths in 221 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: their family, they deserve money from the humans that were 222 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: eighty five people died in that fire that destroyed Paradise, California. 223 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: We've made the point of the show. They got to 224 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: stop building there because if bets a fire zone, that's 225 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: just going to keep happening again. But you know, when 226 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: you have down power lines and you could have done 227 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: something about it, faulty electrical equipment. I remember the Wall 228 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: Street Journal did a great story about PG and E 229 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: some time ago where they talked about how they just 230 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: kept deferring maintenance. It sounds familiar, doesn't it, the oil 231 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: companies differing maintenance instead. You know, they would want to 232 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: spend their money on the salaries and nice office buildings 233 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: and all sorts of perks. But oh, one hundred year 234 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: old power line, that'll be fine. No, No, these people 235 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: are evil that I'm sorry they don't get prison, because 236 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: that's the only thing missing out of all these legal maneuvers. Yeah, 237 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: they weren't charged, but not the executives the company pled 238 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: guilty to eighty four counts of involuntary manslaughter. Right the 239 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 1: company where you can put the company in prison. The 240 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: company filed for bankruptcy in twenty nineteen a thirteen and 241 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: a half billion dollars settlement with fire victims and their families. 242 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: But again that's the company, and then we have to 243 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: bail out the company. Now basically the state owns the 244 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: company because they have to provide the money to make 245 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: Pigini solvent or the electricity disappears for millions. Right. So, 246 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: last year of the pg and E Fire Victim Trust 247 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: that was created after the bankruptcy, they sued twenty former 248 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: Pgene officers and directors claiming that they were personally responsible, 249 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: personally responsible, directly responsible for the fires because they didn't 250 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: do what was in the best interest of the company. See, 251 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: in the long run, the company went bankrupt. In the 252 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: long run, the company had to pay thirteen and a 253 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: half billion dollars in damages. But it was but the 254 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: executives don't care about the company because they walk away 255 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: with a millions of dollars in a golden parachute. I 256 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: remember the woman who was the CEO a few years ago, 257 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: she walked out of there were the four million dollars payout, Oh, 258 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: huge payout, So what does she care if PGENI is bankrupt. 259 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: She doesn't care if they have to make a thirteen 260 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: billion dollars settlement. She got her four million, and she'll 261 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: probably land as a major executive with another company because 262 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: they always do. The box were in as simple. We 263 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: gotta have electric city. Somebody's got to deliver the electricity. 264 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: Are you wanted to be a private company? Do you 265 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: want to be a utility that's like quasi private because 266 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: PG and ease is traded on the stock market, so 267 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of public, kind of private. But this isn't 268 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: working either. I don't know what the answer is, which 269 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: you can't drive the company out of business. Somebody has 270 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: to deliver the energy when you do, when you don't 271 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: have a professional class, which means the executives or the 272 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: politicians who want to do the right thing. See, I'm 273 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: afraid you have the government run it because I don't 274 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: want that either. Look at our government can't run stupid DMV. No, 275 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: it's stupid unemployment fund because the corporations corrupt, the government's corrupt. 276 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: The corporation is made up of stupid, greedy executives and 277 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: they and the government's made up of stupid greedy politicians. 278 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: So nobody there said, you know, one hundred year old 279 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: power line, maybe we ought to do more to well 280 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: replace it maintain it. Anyboy think about this, or as 281 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: we've talked about a billion times, even twice on this today, 282 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: any thoughts to undergrounding in these fire prone areas, underground 283 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: power lines. Oh, it's too expensive, dered deferred. Right, this 284 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: is why. This is how they deal with it. It's all. 285 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: It's all, but you see that it's the too expensive 286 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: line is just to cover well in the end, if 287 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: you're handing out billion, multibillion dollars settlements, you might have 288 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: avoided those, right, But if you're undergrounded decades, what they 289 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: want to do is plump up their balance sheet to 290 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: raise the stock price. That's correct, And they have a 291 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: lot of stock in the company as executives, so a 292 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: higher stock price results in more money for them. That 293 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: was the Wall Street Journal angle, is that they did 294 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: not want to spend a lot of money on maintenance 295 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: because those things don't help the bottom line. They're just 296 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: expenses out the door, those kind of capital expenses. That 297 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: helps customers. It would reduce fires, it would keep towns 298 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: from burning down, it would stop the blackouts you have 299 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: with the fires. I mean it's it's just so hopelessly 300 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: horribly corrupt. I mean the corruption goes right to Newsom 301 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: because you go look up how much his wife, Jennifer 302 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: Newsome Sidebelle has gotten from PG and E to finance 303 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: her films on feminism. Yes, which I'm sure are very 304 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: vital contribution. Yeah, that's right, film feminism funded by PG 305 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: and E. What do you think PGNI gets in return 306 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: from from her husband preferential treatment? Yeah, well, you know 307 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: it's great when even the wife is corrupt too. Yeah. 308 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: Now that's the sad saga, all right. When we return, 309 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: we will be talking about tenants and landlords. The county 310 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: in the city of la have made some moves concerning 311 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: these ridiculous tenant protections which have gone on for far 312 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: too long thanks to the pandemic.

I'm thinking that's a pretty isn't it. 381 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: I mean that that's the greatest business in the world 382 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: to get into, just to just real and all the suckers. Anyway, 383 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: the way it stands, Proposition twenty seven is the only 384 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: yes the voter Guide will give you on the seventh ballot. 385 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want everybody's phone to be a gambling device. 386 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, why everybody bankrupt themselves? Good.

All right. 392 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: Now we move over to another topic related to Oh god, 393 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: the pandemic, tenant eviction protections. This is still going on. 394 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: The La count eviction protection from the pandemic goes to 395 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: the end of the year into January, so yesterday or Tuesday. Rather, 396 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: they have proposed letting that end, but they want some 397 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: permanent rental assistance programs, end protections. And you know who's 398 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: leading the charge. Do you have any guests on the 399 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: La County Border Supervisors Sile Sillacule? That's right, yeah, Shillacule 400 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: doesn't think anybody ought to pay rent ever for any reason. Oh, 401 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: there are people that believe that housing is a right 402 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: and it should be a constitutional right and there should 403 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: not be rent. No, yes, and then eventually you would 404 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: have the government owning and providing providing a living space 405 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: for all if they confiscated to all private property. That's 406 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: what they could do. Right, well, see that's what that's 407 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: what she is. They think it would work better that way. 408 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: She would have fitted in great Soviet Union of the 409 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, Okay, when everybody lived in the same little 410 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: apartment box. Right. Yeah. You ever see Soviet block housing 411 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: in the condition Remember people were all paid the same. 412 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: Nobody had any advantages under a communist society. No, that's 413 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: the idea. Nobody when you don't have freedoms, that's equality, 414 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: that's right, perfect quality, it's exactly what they prattle about. 415 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: That's why what I hear them talk about equality or 416 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: equity or any of the other code words they have. Well, 417 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: I know what they mean. They mean they don't want 418 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: people succeeding, and the only way to ensure that is 419 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: to drag down the successful people, the talented, the smart, 420 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: the harder working, the people who end up bringing all 421 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: the good things to life. Those people have to be punished, 422 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: they have to be stopped. This is why I hate communists. 423 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: I hate socialists. I hate those ideologies because it requires people, 424 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: people who are free and successful, to be penalized, to 425 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: be punished, and that is evil. That is wrong. It 426 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: is not benign. It's like, oh, we just want to 427 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: help people. No, you don't want to help people. What 428 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: you want to do is breed discontent, class warfare, envy, jealousy. 429 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: You know. And I got one more word I always 430 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: add to mediocrity. Mediocrity. Yeah, you want to embrace mediocrity 431 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: because if everyone's mediocre, then they're all controllable. If nobody 432 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: has anything extra, then then there's no more competition in 433 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: the world. Everybody is not happy, but they'll just sit 434 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: there like like well, it's like blobs in all the 435 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: blobs that work at the cubicles, right, that's what that's 436 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: what these communist socialists want. It always ends badly, none 437 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: of these socialist communist nations. It never turns out well. Now. 438 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: The city of La is also discussing ending COVID nineteen 439 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: protections against eviction, described as some of the country's longest lasting. 440 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: A Los Angeles City Council committee advanced a plan to 441 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: repeal the rules at the end of January, but of 442 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: course there were objectors. The council president Mary Martinez says, 443 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: we have to we have to find long term protections 444 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: for tenants, but preserve the economic wellbeing of our small 445 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: mom and pop landlords who were always gotten. But you know, 446 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: even if you're not a mom and pop small landlord, 447 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: it's your property and your building. You deserve to get 448 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: your rants. That's what is creating animosity towards people who 449 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: are successful. This is the most I've ever heard in 450 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: my life, the most animosity I've heard. I mean, you 451 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: have any entire generations of people coming out of college 452 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: with hateful, angry animosity towards those who somebody told me 453 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: they were in a college classroom and a couple of girls, 454 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: and the girls are nastier than the guys about this stuff. 455 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: They wrote on the white board, end capitalism, murder Elon Musk. Oh, Now, 456 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: what's a twenty year old girl? How has she been 457 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: brainwashed and programmed to hate capitalism and murder Elon Musk? 458 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: And writes that casually on the board, as if as 459 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: if it's okay, if it's it's cool, Like can you 460 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: imagine a unior college writing that. Can you imagine going 461 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: off in front of the professor and say, murder Elon 462 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: Musk or whoever the rich person of the day was, 463 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: and by the way, murdering Elon Muska. That'll just end 464 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: capitalism like that. Yeah, And a friend of mine said, well, 465 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: why do they want to do that to him? At 466 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: least he's making the electric cars, Isn't that that's what 467 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: this crowd wants. Oh, yes, make the electric cars, but 468 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: don't profit off it. I mean, I've just had it 469 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: with all the anti capitalism, anti rich people, anti success. 470 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: And you know, if your own buildings, you have to 471 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: be punished, you have to you can't collect rent for 472 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: three years. But they took advantage of COVID, these socialist communists, 473 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: They took advantage of COVID to win install all these 474 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: policies that they've always wanted. This is the way they 475 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: want the country to be permanently and this was their chance. 476 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: And notice, long after COVID passed, all these policies are 477 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: still in effect and they're fighting to keep them in effect. 478 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: That's what Newsom is doing. Some vetoed giving up his 479 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: emergency powers. Why this is the way he thinks government 480 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: should run. Government should be dictating the markets. The rental 481 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: markets should be controlled by the government. We will decide 482 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: who pays rent and who doesn't.

As it cut across Florida, 495 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: it was reduced to a tropical storm, but as it 496 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: got back to the other side of that state in 497 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean coast, it is a category one and 498 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: it's making its way northwest. We'll talk about this and 499 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: the latest that we understand from the cleanup of the 500 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: casualties after the news at five o'clock. I know you 501 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: did this news story, Deborah Market. It is indeed a 502 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: strange one and a sad one. Concerning the category of 503 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: dead animals, it's the birds on the beach. Residents of 504 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach found ten different types of dead birds, many 505 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: of which were decapitated. This is between Marine Avenue and 506 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: twenty sixth Street, the beach area. There. Witnesses reported seeing ducks, roosters, 507 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: and pigeons. The belief is that it could have been 508 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: a Santa Ria ritual, which I've heard of before. That 509 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: could just be they jumped to a conclusion. It might 510 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: just be Tony's idea of a weird prank. Or yeah, 511 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: it is easy. It is a religion, yes, Santoria. Yeah, 512 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: and they and they do so bready in Cuba. Yeah, 513 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: so we shouldn't be doing that here. And ritual sacrifice 514 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: of animals as part of their routine. Duckheads, dead chickens 515 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: without their heads. Um. Now, Manhattan Beach is an odd 516 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: place to find a Santa Ria Santaia sect killing birds, 517 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: but maybe they wanted to do it at the beach. 518 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: Was that part of the ritual. They had to find 519 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: a beach, maybe a quiet one, maybe late at night 520 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: where they could go and do their I don't know 521 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: if it's a real thing or are these are these 522 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: teenagers teenagers pulling pranks? It seems that teenager needs to 523 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: be watched. How many times we mentioned that when young 524 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: people kill animals that's not a good sign about the future. 525 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, tomorrow they're going to be shooting up 526 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: at school. Jeffrey Dahmer apparently killed cats or tortured cats 527 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: or like to pull him out right, Yeah, I just 528 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: watched the first episode the other night. Oh it's Netflix. Yeah, 529 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: there are some community members protesting that is it on 530 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: his life? Like it is? Yeah? Yeah, like like a 531 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: docu drum. Yeah that's pretty grim job. Yea, it is. 532 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: In fact, I wanted to watch the second episode, and 533 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: my husband said, no, I don't want to watch this, 534 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: so we only watched the first one. Already killed people 535 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: in the first one. Well, yeah, they actually started off 536 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: well I don't want to get a spoiler, I know, no, 537 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: but but actually they started they started it with how 538 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: he was arrested and what led up to that. That 539 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: was the very first first episode. And did they have 540 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: his childhood in there? That's what I'd like to say. Oh, yeah, yes, yea, 541 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: they do. Yeah. I like how we were on the 542 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: air when that story broke. We were like reading that 543 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: and going, what the hell. Oh, it's disgusting body parts 544 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: eating people. But yeah, he did not have a great childhood. 545 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: Of course they never do. Everybody doesn't have a good childhood. 546 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: But again, I can't explain everything. No, that's very true, absolutely, well, 547 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: very degrees of not great childhood. Yeah, but even people 548 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: with horrible, horrible childhoods are not the mass killers incunable. Yes, 549 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean, really, let's get straight about that. No, I 550 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: agree with you, but in this case, it was a 551 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: little bit bizarre. Yeah, well he got killed in prison 552 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: for it. I hope they showed that part. I don't know. 553 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: They didn't show it on the first step. Too bad. 554 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: They didn't eat him in prison? Oh they didn't. No, 555 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: I think they just beat him to death. Oh, I 556 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: don't think they. Somebody with a set of humor should 557 00:32:55,080 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: have eaten him with no taste buds. You see. We're 558 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: complaining too about the Merrily Monroe movie on Netflix.
