I don't know. We're going to have Adam 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: Houseley on now. You may remember Adam Howsley used to 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: be on our show frequently back when he was a 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: Fox News correspondent and he was all over the world. 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: He was in a fair number of war zones I remember, 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: and his family suffered a terrible tragedy five years ago. Tomorrow, 16 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: it's going to be five years since that mass shooting 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: at the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks, and his niece 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: was killed, his brother's and for the last few years 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: the family has been involved in a protracted legal case 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Times and other media outlets because 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: they wanted the media outlets one of the autopsy reports, 22 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: and the families were fighting it in order to protect 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: the privacy of their family and their loved one who died, 24 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: and the Times went to the mat. It bounced back 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: and forth with different decisions from different courts. Ultimately, the 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: Housley family lost, as did the other families involved in 27 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: the case, and the La Times went ahead and published 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: autopsy reports and of course, you know, big surprise, they 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: all died of the gunshots. The real terrible ending to this, though, 30 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: is the La Times now wants their legal fees paid 31 00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: for by the Housley family. Unbelievable. Let's get to Adam, 32 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: get them on the line here. How are you, Adam? 33 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: Hey, John, how are you doing. 34 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. It's a terrible thing to have 35 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: to go through, especially with the anniversary. 36 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: Canda. Yeah, I know you mentioned at the top that 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: you guys have been great to me over the years. 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 2: You know, I was at Fox for seventeen years. You 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: guys had me on from a lot of those places 40 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: you mentioned, including from Gaza. So I do appreciate the 41 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: sport on that and now this, and you know, I 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 2: think the frustrating part for it's not just about a 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: court case. What people need to understand in California is 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 2: that I think it's forty states now, and every single 45 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: province in Canada protects the rights of crime victims. So 46 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: if you're a victim of crime and you die, you 47 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: still have Hipo writes. Basically, you still have your privacy rights. 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: The families can petition to say, yeah, I want that 49 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: kept to myself, and then I can tell you and 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: the reason why I think the times. I was supposed 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: to testify at one point up in Sacramento, but then 52 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: COVID hit and they canceled the hearing. But they didn't 53 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: want me to testify because they can't they can't argue 54 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: against me. I covered six mass shootings before I lived one, 55 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: and I never once had to go fight for a 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: death certificate. If I felt there was something fishy, I 57 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: would do what a journalist is supposed to do and 58 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: imagine that and you go to the families of those, 59 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: which is not the easiest thing to do, especially I've 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: been on both sides, and you say, hey, here's why 61 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: that information is important. Here's why we think you should, 62 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: you know, should provide the information to us because we 63 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 2: think something's being hidden, which and as a member of 64 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: a family now living on the other side of this, 65 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: if I felt that Elena was murdered and there was 66 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: some stuff being hidden or some information not coming out correct, 67 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: I'd be the first one to go to the media 68 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: and be like, Hey, this needs to be this needs 69 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: to be shown, this needs to get out. But the 70 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: La Times and the Ventura County Star are trash journalists 71 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: and I'll call them that because of the way they've 72 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: handled this. They want everybody to have access and it's 73 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: not just them. They want Alex Jones whoever, to have 74 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: access to privacy records. And California had a bill going 75 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: through one reason why the family spot it and DA 76 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: was behind it when he shaffs associations behind this bill, well, 77 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: the bill went away. It was called AB two sixty eight. 78 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: And Jackie Irwin is the California State is simbly one 79 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: up there and she was the one that proposed this 80 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 2: bill that would protect victims rights like forty other states, 81 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 2: and it got to the It passed with a very 82 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: strong support in the Assembly. They went to the state 83 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: Senate and the state Senator from from South Central Stephen Bradford, 84 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: I believe was his name. He wouldn't let it come 85 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 2: out of committee. Now mine. Bradford was the same guy 86 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: who voted for Kobe's records not to be released, but 87 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: he would not let this even be voted on his committee. Yeah, 88 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 2: so it went away. 89 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: We're well aware of Bradford. 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, he you know, honestly, he's what's wrong with politics. 91 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: In my mind, the idea is that it's not about you, pow, 92 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 2: it's about it's about victims. And I'm sorry, I think 93 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: the La Times and the Ventura County Star, I wouldn't 94 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: line the bottom of a of a bird cage with it. 95 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: They how they handled this was such with such disrespect 96 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: for families, especially the Ventura County Star. It's your home area. 97 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: They didn't care about the families, you know. The in fact, 98 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 2: when they were by the way, there was nothing in 99 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: their death certificates, nothing. And when they won they did it, 100 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: they didn't even they didn't even post them. They did 101 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: a victory lap we won haha in the paper. I'm like, really, 102 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: are we on third grade now? And you know so 103 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: for me as a as a journalist, I sit here 104 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: and go, this is exactly why people hate the media. 105 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: There's absolutely no reason for this. I mean, so if 106 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: Elena f my niece, who's my god daughter? You know, 107 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: I left Fox five weeks before this. I've covered stally, 108 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: I covered six mass shootings. I was first on scene 109 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: in San Bernardino. I was on with you guys actually 110 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 2: that day. I was there for the shootouts. I was 111 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 2: inside the freaking crime scene. I was in you know, 112 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: San Antonio for that way I've been. Unfortunately, they're freaking terrible. 113 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 2: They still tear at your heart even though you have 114 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: no connection to other than being the reporter. Five weeks 115 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: after a leave Fox, this happens and I show up 116 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: on scenes that happened to be in La. My wife, 117 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: you know, was an actress and she was down there 118 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: shooting a show, and we went down a couple of 119 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 2: days early, and I was supposed to see al Ann 120 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: because it was my son's birthday two days later. And 121 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: we you know, I ended up showing up at the 122 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: crime scene right when the media got there. And all 123 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: the media guys know me. They Elene has been to 124 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: our live shots, you know, over the years, right so, 125 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: and a lot of a lot of them are at 126 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: my wedding and they're like, what are you doing? Here, 127 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 2: you know. And so the folks that are on the ground, 128 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: you know, the men and women who are on the 129 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: ground covering these stories, they understand that. But these the 130 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: suits that sit up on the top of offices and 131 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: these these newspapers and TV stations and networks, they don't 132 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 2: get it. They don't get it. So basically they, after 133 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: you've mentioned back and forth, back and forth, Bradford didn't 134 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 2: let it go through, so now there's no protection from 135 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: the If he had let it go through and have 136 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: been voted on, it would have made their their arguments 137 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: no one void. But he didn't. So now it became 138 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: a battle back and forth in the courts, and you know, 139 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 2: just a perfect classy timing. The La Times filed a 140 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: lawsuit last week and almost the exact five year anniversary. 141 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: A week short of the five year anniversary, they file 142 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: a lawsuit saying that they want the parents or sorry 143 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: the parents and victims families to pay for their legal fees. 144 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: You know, so billionaire owner of the time should be ashamed. 145 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: He won't be because you know, I mean, clearly he 146 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 2: runs a paper that's crap. And now to do this, 147 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: it's like if I live, I spent between college baseball 148 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: and working. I spent twenty one years of my life 149 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 2: in l a full time and I'm a California boy 150 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: six generations, and I could never I don't think I've 151 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 2: ever been more ashamed of the newspaper or of my 152 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: state than I ever have. It's in fifty years of 153 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: living on this earth. I just sit here going, Wow, 154 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: we can't protect victims. I mean I've I've you know, 155 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: I've put wored out to the governor multiple times. He's 156 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: out there running for president. He can't. You don't if 157 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: you don't care about victims. It would take a stroke 158 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: of a pen. And here's what's crazy, John, If it's 159 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: involving law enforcement or or or or some sort of 160 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: they can still argue to the court that there's a 161 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: significant reason to still release and even if even if 162 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: this was to pass. But again, families are going to 163 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: give you the information if they have a concern. Your 164 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: job is to go get it from them. 165 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: And there was no controversy about them. 166 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: There was no controversy. There was none. I covered I 167 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: covered Whitney Houston's death. I didn't cover a lot of Hollywood, 168 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: but I think it was the Times run an entire 169 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 2: article how she had a Wigan engineers. What if it 170 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: happened to with her dying? Nothing? I mean, sell other 171 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: reporting that Michael Jackson, okay, so we had scars all over. 172 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: She had nothing to do with him dying. You know, 173 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: why is that information necessary? It's not. It's sensationalism. It's 174 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: crap journalism. It's the reason why I like Tener the cover, 175 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: even likes journals anymore. 176 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: I can't believe they thought so hard when there was 177 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: no controversial reason to do so. There was no mystery, 178 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: there was no cover up. The cause of death was obvious, right, 179 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: everybody lived through that entire event. And then at the 180 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: end of it all after you started the legal fight 181 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: to demand that the families you're a family pay their 182 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: legal bills at the times when Patrick suon Chian is 183 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: worth I don't know, eight billion dollars I write.

This is, But I tell you what I 283 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: really thought we'd all get kicked off of the air. 284 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: This is the most egregious, uh, tongue bath that I 285 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: have seen or read. Of course it's the El Segundo Times, 286 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: and of course it's on the long forgotten Eric Garcetti. 287 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: This thing reads like comedy. It's it's incredible what they do. 288 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: But there's something about him that all the writers and 289 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: editors of the Times are just in love. I mean, 290 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: they're they're there. They've got this silly crush on him. 291 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: And they did a piece on him being in exile 292 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: in India after being kicked out of LA and then 293 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: shunned by the Biden administration for a year and a half, 294 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: shunned by the Senate. Finally he squeaked by with an 295 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: ambassadorship to India. But the way, ah, you got to 296 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: hear it. I can't do justice for it, I really, 297 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: all I have to do is read it, all right, 298 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: and we'll do that. Coming up in just a moment. 299 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: There is a story out of Oakland as bad as 300 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: you might think it is. In the La County area 301 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: in Oakland, restaurants are losing thousands of dollars a week 302 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: because their customers won't show up anymore. The customers are 303 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: tired having their cars and their jewelry robbed in the 304 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: middle of their meals. Business owners are comparing the area 305 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: to wartime Vietnam. Now the Alamanni County Da Pamela Price 306 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: is a complete whack job. She makes gasconne look moderate. 307 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: So hundreds of locals have started a group called Save 308 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: Alameda for Everyone, and they're trying to get Price out 309 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: of office because, I mean the doors have blown open. 310 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: I mean it is a complete free for all. Two 311 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: very popular restaurants in Oakland closed their doors because of 312 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: rampant car burglaries and violent crime. There was a French 313 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: Vietnamese restaurant called Les Cheval closed its stores after thirty 314 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: eight years as did a steakhouse, the Galado Brazilian Steakhouse, 315 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: on the same block, and the total number of armed 316 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: robberies in Oakland that they've counted reached twelve hundred and 317 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: eighty two, forty three percent rise in a year. Vehicle 318 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: thefts are up fifty percent, home invasions up by six 319 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: sixty five percent. And these are the crimes they'll admit to. 320 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: This is not even counting all the crimes they never 321 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: get called in anymore. So forty three percent rise in 322 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: armed robberies, car theft up fifty percent, home invasion sixty 323 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: five percent, and restaurants are closing and they're struggling. Some 324 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: owners are trying not to lay off their employees. But 325 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: here's one guy, Derek Johnson. He owns the Home of Chicken, 326 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: the Home of Chicken and Waffles, and he said, people 327 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: are having their luggage stolen from their cars, they're getting 328 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: robbed at gunpoint while coming in and out of the restaurant, 329 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: and they're trying not to lay off their employees, but 330 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: the customers aren't showing up anymore, and it's it's just 331 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: it's everything's a ghost town and there's constant security footage 332 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: from businesses. They put it on social media showing armed 333 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:07,239 Speaker 1: carjackers busting into vehicles.

I 381 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: wanted to mention the photographer Smitt Schmitta Sharma because she 382 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: gave Garcetti the same treatment that Newsom got this past week. 383 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the photos of Newsom 384 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: standing with the Great Wall of China in the distance 385 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: behind him, wearing Aviator sunglasses, jutting his jaw, looking to 386 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: the side pensively as if he's thinking about all the 387 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: great issues of life. Well, Garcetti also has a similar 388 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: photo of him looking off into the distance to his right, 389 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: as if he is weighing the great problems of the world. 390 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: And it's just funny how these political photographers and their 391 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: bosses want to show these inept, incompetent politicians, put them 392 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: in a setting where they look like great thinkers, great philosophers, 393 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: had some men who are changing the world. Well, here's 394 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: what Courtney Supermanian wrote. And I am going to skip 395 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: around here because you know how many pages this was 396 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: print out six pages, six pages, eight and a half 397 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: by eleven and she really lightly glides by Garcetti's failures. 398 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I challenge anybody to name a mayor that 399 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: anybody could remember in anybody's lifetime who is worse than Garcetti. 400 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: I mean, indisputably, Los Angeles was a far more beautiful, 401 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: more safer, more pleasant place ten years ago before Garcetti 402 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: took office. The amount of crime, vagrants, garbage, garbage, drug 403 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: use is incalculable. I mean, it's impossible to describe just 404 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: how much of it there is. In case you're happily 405 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: inside the border of Orange County, you have no idea 406 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: how filthy and disgusting and scary and dangerous it's become 407 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: in the city of Los Angeles. It's just astounding. And 408 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: this all started under Garcetti. He's entirely responsible and here's 409 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 1: what Subramian Supermanian says about this. Garcetti had struggled to 410 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: make struggled to make progress on some of the many 411 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: problems that beset the pandemic scarred city, including homelessness, crime, 412 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: and housing affordability. No, no, no, no, it was not 413 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: the pandemic. It was that Garcetti abdicated his position, directed 414 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: the police chief, Michael Moore, to withdraw the police from 415 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: engaging the criminals, stopped enforcing the laws that govern public 416 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: behavior that the vagrants were violating, and had the sanitation 417 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: department basically stopped showing up for work anymore. Nobody would 418 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: clean the place. And it talked about how he was 419 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: expecting to get a cabinet position. He was a longtime 420 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: ally of Joe Biden, and he was a big fundraiser. 421 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: He was co chairman of the campaign for Biden's election. 422 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: But he didn't get Transportation secretary. He didn't even get 423 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: Climate Change advisor. That job went to the great pompfoon, 424 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: John Kerry. It was very much like Garcetti. So GARCETI 425 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: ended up as ambassador to India, but he had to 426 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: wait for twenty months because nobody in the Senate really 427 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: wanted to approve of him. You know, he had that 428 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: sex scandal he was dealing with. So now he goes 429 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: to New Delhi and the Indian government is described as 430 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 1: being right wing, a Hindu nationalist government that stokes anti 431 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: Muslim violence, but it's offered Garcetti a path recovery, a 432 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: chance to reset his narrative. As ambassador, Garcetti negotiates with 433 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: leaders of superpower nations and manages one of Washington's most 434 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: critical relationships. Biden administration officials say the rookie diplomat has 435 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: handed handled his job job masterfully. Uh, listen to this. 436 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: Jimi Regalado is a professor emeritus a political science at 437 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: cal State LA. That means he's an old, old professor. 438 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: This is Haimi Regalado. Get that get that tongue ready 439 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: for this one. Jimi Regalatto describing Garcetti. He's very smart, 440 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: he's a great speaker, and he's young, politically speaking, all 441 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: the right kind of qualities you want to pursue a 442 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: career beyond being ambassador to India. 443 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: Soon. 444 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: Reglatto works in Los Angeles. Has he not seen the 445 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: government has has instigated a lot of this. According to 446 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: the times, and there's ethnic fighting, lots of protests, violence 447 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: that left one hundred and sixty people dead, sixty thousand 448 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: others displaced, and Garcetti used to be a big human 449 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: rights advocate, but now he says nothing. He has no 450 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: criticism to say when he was when he was a 451 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: young man, he said in my book, whether it's me 452 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: and Los Angeles singing an injustice across an ocean or 453 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: vice versa, you have to stand up and be heard. 454 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: He once led a hunger strike at Oxford over that 455 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: ballot measure back in remember Prop one eighty seven in 456 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, to keep illegal aliens from getting access 457 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: to state healthcare and schools. He went on a hunger 458 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: strike in Oxford. This guy on a hunger strike in 459 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: England because we were passing a bill to restrict illegal 460 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: alien rights in California. I mean, what kind of a 461 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: pompfoon goes on a hunger strike six thousand miles away 462 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: from the state where the law he objects to is 463 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: being voted on. Got to take a break. Johnny Ken KFI. 464 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 465 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 4: Am six forty. 466 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: Coming up after three o'clock Elseigundo Times in surrendering around 467 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: was one issue. They did a long story about droves 468 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: of Californians moving to Texas. Wait to you here. I mean, 469 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: we all know that a lot of people have been 470 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: moving out of state, far more than are moving in. 471 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: But wow, to tell you the numbers, it's unbelievable. All right. 472 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, you know who he is. He's the senator 473 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania. He's the guy who only wears hoodies and shorts, 474 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: almost got the Senate to change its dress code. He's 475 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: the guy who had a stroke in the middle of 476 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: the campaign last year, and he's been left with some 477 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: lingering brain damage. He has trouble understanding words when you 478 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: speak to him. Yeah, it's kind of a decoding problem, 479 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: and it also means he has trouble speaking as well. 480 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: He showed up at a campaign rally for a local 481 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: candidate in Pittsburgh and he was on stage and he 482 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: was holding a banner in support of this woman and 483 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: then started speaking and a heckler interrupted Fetterman over Fetterman's 484 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: support of Israel.

I can't fully understand what you're saying. 490 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 5: The man is eventually escorted out by police, says he 491 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 5: tells the senator to go home. 492 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: Another protester speaks out before leaving the event. I love that. 493 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: I thought he was kind of a goof. But that's 494 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: a pretty good response, isn't it. 495 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, for someone who had a stroke, that's a pretty quick, 496 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 3: quick whip back at that person. 497 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he. 498 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: Delivered it well too.

If you 505 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: want to scream at somebody, you ought to go to 506 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: Jerusalem and scream at Benjamin net and Yahoo, he's in 507 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: charge of the war. Why you're screaming at a politician 508 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania beats the hell out of me. 509 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 3: Well, Fetterman voted to give more aid to Israel. So yeah, 510 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 3: I know, but he's not going to stop the war now. 511 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: I know. 512 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: That's just why people in America are upset with him. 513 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: Did you see did you see the Is it it 514 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: scary how many people are pro Hamas in this country? Uh, 515 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: it's very scary. 516 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 3: I've had conversations with friends that bought guns over the 517 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 3: weekend because they don't feel safe. 518 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've read about that. Yeah, I'm considering it. So 519 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: a lot of Jewish people, formerly anti gun Jewish people 520 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: who are now armed. Oh yeah. 521 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 3: And I mean the clip we played in the first hour, 522 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 3: the people at the White House, I mean there were 523 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 3: people climbing the fence of the White House. Yeah, and 524 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 3: it's like those were the same people that were getting 525 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: mad at the January sixth people. 526 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: I know, it's mind boggling to me. If they were 527 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: able to break in, what do you think they would 528 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: have done? That's a great question. They would have burst 529 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: into the White House. The only difference between that crowd 530 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: and the January sixth group is they had much better 531 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: security to keep this crowd contained outside the gates. 532 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, but then they left their fingerprints and handprints and 533 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 3: quote unquote red paint all over the White House as 534 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 3: if it's blood. 535 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's the number of people and how 536 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: vitriolic they are. And are they all immigrants? Are they citizens? 537 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: Like what? 538 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. They're all covering their faces with 539 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 3: uh Kaffa's. I mean, there's a lot of these college students. 540 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 3: They must be all diversity imports. But well, I don't 541 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 3: there's no chance Israel is going to stop, is there. 542 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 3: I don't think so. No, not until these hostages are 543 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: released or come home. Yeah, but even then they're still 544 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 3: going to keep going and dismantling Hamas. Yes, because Hamas 545 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 3: is a terrorist organization, right. 546 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 5: Well, Hamas is saying though that that group isn't going 547 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 5: to stop. So that's the whole reason why Israel doesn't 548 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 5: want to do a ceasefire pause, because once that happens, 549 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 5: then Hamas is just going to regroup and just continue 550 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 5: doing what it's doing. 551 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 3: There have been fifteen ceasefires since Hamas took over power 552 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 3: in Gaza, and Hamas has broken every single one of them. 553 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: Well, they exist in order to kill all the Jews 554 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: and destroy Israel. So there's no such thing as a ceasefire. 555 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: Maybe a pause to reload and regroup. But that's about it. 556 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: We come back. How many people exactly left California last year? 557 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: We had the exact number, well close to the exact number. 558 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: It is rounded off, but it's a stunning number.
