Speaker 3: three o'clock to take off on land lords.

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: You get it. Anyway, It's got a lot to do

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: with the vagrants who live out of their vans. Yeah.

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: The people are are buying vans, I'm sorry, buying RVs

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: and renting them out to vagrants.

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, marking Ago, Markingham in residential areas.

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I just drove past the I don't know how

39
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: you pronounced Bayona wet Lands. I've now heard like the

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: two l's are like and wise Bionta. I just drove

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: past there a couple of times in the last week. Oh,

42
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: it is so horrific. What I can't understand too, is

43
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: a lot of cars. They're all just parked along there,

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: And if you didn't know, you drive by and think,

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: what is there a stadium back there or a big park?

46
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: Why are all these people park there like it's they're

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: just up on the grass. But I guess there's people

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: in these RVs.

49
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they're tailgating their tailgate oh football game. Yeah,

50
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: because they have chairs out and you know they've got

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: like propane heaters to cook with.

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: I never see people. I just see all the parked vehicles.

53
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: I've yet to see.

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: People notice that, even though a lot of them have

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: furnishings outside to sit on, I never see it. I

56
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: guess they're all passed out inside, right, that's where they are.

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: They've all overdosed on heroin.

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: They've passed out, and they're old, beat up RVs and

59
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: vans people.

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 2: God. Anyway, she'll be on at three.

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: O'clock to talk about van lords and what they're doing here,

62
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: and they're cultility in this homeless problem, particularly with these

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: RVs and vans that just park on the streets.

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to begin with a relic.

65
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: The Elsgunda Times has had a columnist who covers the

66
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 3: state capitol for john what's seventy years, George Skelton.

67
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: He went California a chieved statehood in eighteen fifty. George

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: Skelton was the first reporter there to first reporter to

69
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: cover it.

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: He was there with his stone tablet.

71
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: And that's right, a chisel and then they ready to

72
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: take notes. They would pass the stone tablet around.

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: Well, he did a good one today, a really good

74
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: column about the reparations. Not that the Democrats and Sacramento

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: are caught with.

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: But I mean they are such a bunch of phonies.

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: And the headline is they order to tell us clearly

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: where do they stand on reparations for slavery in California, specifically,

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: what do they think we should pay out, if we

80
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: should pay out anything? And I think he's right. The

81
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: report's been sent and it says here the report will

82
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: be sent to the state Capitol by July first from

83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: the Californian Reparations Task Force. But what he tried to

84
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: figure out is where some of these hacks stand on this.

85
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: And one thing that really jumps out was a Pew

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: Research Center nationwide poll conducted in November. Sixty eight percent

87
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: of adults oppose paying descendants of slaves in some way.

88
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: Thirty percent supported.

89
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so that is a big loser of an issue.

90
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: Is two thirds say no.

91
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: And they looked at ethnic groups and only eighteen percent

92
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: of white people approved of reparations, and those are the white, woke, wealthy.

93
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: Women wallowing in their guilt.

94
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: So eighteen percent of white people, thirty three percent of Asians,

95
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent of Latinos. So you lose all the

96
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: demographic groups except for black Californians or actually black American

97
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: This is the whole count Seventy seven percent favored the

98
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: idea right expect.

99
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: Yes, but nobody else does.

100
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: And uh, in Sacramento, mostly these representatives represent everybody else

101
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: because in California, blacks are only six and a half

102
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: percent of the population, right, so if.

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: It t meets, most of their constituents would not benefit

104
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: from any reparations.

105
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: But Democrats in California and nationally have historically manipulated black

106
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: voters by pandering to them on issues that they have

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: no intention of following through on. And this is case

108
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: number one. This is at the top of the pyramid here.

109
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Trust me, there are hardly any Democrats in Sacramento unless

110
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: they come from majority black districts that are going to

111
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: vote for reparations.

112
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: Or and you read the quote, Skelton't got one influential

113
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: Sacramento Democrat to tell him, but not by name, I'm

114
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: a no. When asked whether I could quote him, he said,

115
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: oh sure, and then they'll call me a big racist

116
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: and get all kinds of crap.

117
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: See, here's the hard truth. They're scared, they are of

118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the ACCU. Cannot name me, right, yeah, don't name it.

119
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: I'll be called the racist.

120
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: In other words, he's afraid actually to publicly lay out

121
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: the rational reasons for not approving reparations, starting with we

122
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: have no money for this, okay, and you know the hint.

123
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: The report is due July first. The budget's going to

124
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: be passed by June thirtieth.

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: You see.

126
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: The timing is so there'll be nothing this year in

127
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: this coming budget and for reparation.

128
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: That was that is a good way to punt.

129
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: And that was designed by Newsom and the Democratic legislators.

130
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: They are the ones who created the California Reparations Task

131
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: for it in twenty twenty. Yeah, and they set the

132
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: date as the July first, so when the report comes,

133
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: oh well, I'll have to consider this for next year's budget. Thanks,

134
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: because if they set it for June first, then there'd

135
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: be thirty days of haggling with people going through the

136
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: budget and saying, well, why don't we get some money

137
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: from here? Why don't we get some money from there?

138
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: Why are you spending money on that? That money should

139
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: be for reparations. So conveniently they waited until July. First

140
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: budget's passed, it's now history. And by time we get

141
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: to the next budget being passed June thirtieth and twenty

142
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: twenty four, it's a year old issue that no one's

143
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: going to pay attention to. And I am telling you,

144
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how many black listeners we have who

145
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: would vote for Gavin Newsom. But if you thought he

146
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: was actually going to get you a reparations check, he

147
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: completely played you and manipulated you. That's what the democracratic

148
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: legislators do, and they figure, oh, you're going to vote

149
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: for us anyway, it doesn't matter, you know, So we'll

150
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: just pump up their enthusiasm, get their loyalty, and they

151
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: are never ever ever going to give anybody a dollar

152
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: for reparations.

153
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: They are total quote he.

154
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: Got from another relic this Steve Maviglio, a Democratic political consultant.

155
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: Quote.

156
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: Democrats need to tread carefully on this one. There needs

157
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: to be an aggressive educational component about the recommendations to

158
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: overcome voter skepticism that's been reflected in the polling so far. Wow,

159
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: that's a long way of saying people don't want this,

160
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: you know, and it's going to take a hard weird cell.

161
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: Slavery was never legal in the state of California, not

162
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: for a day. Slavery California was never part of the Confederacy. Well,

163
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: this was a Southern issue. It wasn't a California issue.

164
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: State Senator Steve Bradford, who we threw in the dumpster?

165
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: Didn't we from Guardina? Oh? He says John to that

166
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: that dog does not hunt. My dog hunts. We were

167
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: a free state in name only.

168
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: He said, Southern has brought their slaves here in California,

169
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: did nothing about it.

170
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: We had no laws to make it a crime.

171
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Then you go after the Southern families since they owned

172
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: the slaves.

173
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: And.

174
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: The idea that I have to pay because a law

175
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: wasn't enforced. I can name to Steve Bradford about one

176
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: hundred laws that are not being enforced right now. How

177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: about how many were as evil and as horrible and

178
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: morally stinky as a slavery though you're just talking about

179
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: laws that the homeless violation I'm talking about the How

180
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: about reparations for all the people victimized by thieves and burglars?

181
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: How about reparations for all the wasted tax money that

182
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: have gone down the toilet?

183
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 2: Even Bradford sounds half hearted in this.

184
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: His quote is, I'd like to see something in this

185
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: year's budget, but the budget reflects our values.

186
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: If it's not the budget, it doesn't exist.

187
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Tell me why I'm responsible coming from New Jersey, My

188
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: family's from Poland tell me why I'm responsible for Southerners

189
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: that moved here and book the law and had slaves

190
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: in eighteen fifty the.

191
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: Connect that all? Right?

192
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: If that's some moral wrong, why am I responsible for it?

193
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: Well?

194
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: What I keep reading is I read these stories sort

195
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: of between the lines. Everyone keeps saying, Oh, it doesn't

196
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 3: have to be cash reparations. That isn't all we're talking about.

197
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: Well else not what the report said. I know, but

198
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: they can pick and choose from whatever the report has

199
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: in it. And one thing that looks like it's getting

200
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 3: popular is free college tuition. But that would only be

201
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: for a segment of the black population that's going to college, right,

202
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 3: So I don't know that that would really serve what

203
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: the activists and Bradford wants.

204
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: And you know, you know what, you can't have a

205
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: race based benefit like that.

206
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: That's unconstitutional.

207
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: You can't to give to give free college states tuition

208
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: based on this the racial group.

209
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Now, that would be like giving it to white people

210
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: and not blacks. It's the same constitution. These issues cut

211
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: both ways.

212
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: That's why Skelton goes back and says, yeah, California used

213
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 3: to give out free college tuition to everybody until we

214
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: pulled the plug on it in the seventies.

215
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's a good argument for since we paid

216
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: all our taxes, why don't our kids get a free

217
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: state education? We certainly pay enough in taxes. Again, why

218
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: does the money go for all kinds of nonsense? We

219
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: were this week they were talking about giving a llegal

220
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: alien's unemployment. If that money's burning a hole in Newsan's pocket,

221
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: you ought to send it towards education. But anyway, if

222
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: you would think, if anybody thinks they're ever going to

223
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: convince a majority of even Californians to pay for something

224
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: that was done in eighteen fifty when it wasn't even legal,

225
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: a handful relatively compared to the population we have today,

226
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: it's never going to happen.

227
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: To stop. Stop this.

228
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: All you're doing is aggravating people, all right, when we

229
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: come back. Well, this one came out of left field,

230
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: another call for reparations of a sort by activists, and

231
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: it involves land underneath Dodger Stadium. What Johnny Ken Show,

239
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 3: Well, talking about the R word reparations. As you said

240
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: just before we went to break, once you open that door,

241
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: it can.

242
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: Get long and deep, vast. You go down a rabbit hole.

243
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: A bit of a surprise story and probably many people

244
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: were not aware of this, but when the Dodgers came

245
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: to California from Brooklyn years ago, there was no Dodger Stadium,

246
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: so they had to build them one. Well, really, what

247
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: happened in the early fifties, well before the Dodgers moved,

248
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 3: the city of La began displacing residents of communities called Paloverdi,

249
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: La Loma and Bishop through voluntary purchases in eminent domain.

250
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: They were going to build a housing project in the area,

251
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: allegedly affordable housing. Awh of that John Back in the

252
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: nineteen fifties, they were talking affordable housing.

253
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: It was never built.

254
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: Eventually, they decided the land was great for Dodger Stadium,

255
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: and the team acquired the deed to the land, the

256
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: condition that the team build a stadium with capacity for

257
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: at least fifty thousand people. But what we were looking

258
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: at today on the topic of reparations is what about

259
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: those three hundred families that were displaced from the area.

260
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 3: And if you look at some of the photos, some

261
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: of them strongly protested. In fact, the last of the

262
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: families was forcefully evicted by sheriff's deputies in May of

263
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty nine. One woman was a photograph being carried

264
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: out of her home by deputies. An article in The

265
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: Times back then said described the scene as a long skirmish.

266
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: You know something, I cannot stand this torrent of emotional

267
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: stories everyone. Let's say, I guess they don't teach this

268
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: in school. The concept of eminent domain has been around forever.

269
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: It means it has God, I.

270
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 3: Know many people back when I lived there who lost

271
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: properties because they wanted to build highways or something, schools.

272
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: If the government has some public works project that and

273
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: sometimes even a private project, they can take your land

274
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: as long as they compensate you. And compensation was offered

275
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: to everybody in this neighborhood.

276
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: That's the breaks.

277
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: They needed a place to put Dodger Stadium that was

278
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: going to bring tremendous amount of money into Los Angeles,

279
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: create really a huge boost to the economy, lots of jobs,

280
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: lots of corrective.

281
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: The Times points out that many did sell their land

282
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: to the city. Okay, there were just some holdouts.

283
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: There's a few holdouts because three hundred homes, you're going

284
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: to have a few nuts, right, a few crazy people. Well,

285
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's understandable if you've lived in a home

286
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: for like thirty years to the point where you don't

287
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: want to move.

288
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: You're being dragged out, kicking and screaming. Well, it shouldn't

289
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 2: come to that.

290
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: No, that's a crazy person. So whoever this was that

291
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to sanctify, was a crazy person.

292
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: Well, now we have buried under the blue founded in

293
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, a nonprofit that seeks to raise awareness about

294
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: the history of the displacement of these residents. So it

295
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: brings us back to the concept of reparations.

296
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: No, no, you know what, you know what I'm you

297
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: know what I'm really fed up with. Do people ever

298
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: enjoy their present life and then work to make their

299
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: present life better? Or is everything always looking at the

300
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: past to what other people who are now dead did.

301
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: The victims are dead, the perpetrators are dead. What is

302
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: the point of this? We know human nature sucks, human

303
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: nature is terrible.

304
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: Well, I think a lot of this has to do

305
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: with the fact that this is all the Chavez Ravine area.

306
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are wealthy ball clubs, so yeah, maybe something

307
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: will come.

308
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: Of this, right, Yeah, that's what it's. It's opportunistic. I

309
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: am sure there's some opportunists, think lawyers involved, who are

310
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: going to get their ten percent to thirty percent or

311
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: forty percent out of this. And that's what's driving this.

312
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: The idea that sixty plus.

313
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: Years later, your owed money, your relatives are dead.

314
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: And as you said, they were compensated, and they were compensated,

315
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: and someone's going to.

316
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: Say, oh, they were given dir cheap like nothing for

317
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: their home.

318
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: Now, if you want to get rid of eminent domain,

319
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: then you have to get the legislature and get the

320
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: laws and the government.

321
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: You know, that's how we do it in a democracy.

322
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: Right now, the last time democracy addressed this issue, it

323
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: permitted eminent domain. You want to get rid of it,

324
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: that's a lot of work.

325
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: Huh.

326
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: You're going to have to convince a significant percentage of

327
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: the public a majority or more to.

328
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: Get rid of it.

329
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: But this idea that you're just going to stand there

330
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: and complain and whine over a decision made in nineteen

331
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,359
Speaker 1: fifty eight, really.

332
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: The story really takes a turn.

333
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: Leaders are buried under the blue have all also I

334
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: met with descendants of indigenous tribes that once lived in

335
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 3: the La Basin in a true land back effort. They

336
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 3: say land should be returned to the indigenous groups who

337
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: were the first occupants. Wow, well that'll take us down

338
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 3: quite a deep descent if we try to do that. Look, so,

339
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: will the Dodgers give back the stadium land? Yeah, the

340
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: Dodger They actually pick up the stadium and move it somewhere.

341
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers announced today that they are giving up

342
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. Sure, that's that's what they're going to do.

343
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's I think instead people would take money.

344
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Do you know at some point compensation? At some point

345
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: these stories are over with. What's happened has happened. Decisions

346
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: were made, everyone involved is dead. Maybe we wouldn't make

347
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: those same decisions today, or maybe we would. Eminent domain

348
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: is still used to build all kinds of public works projects.

349
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look what they're doing up north. They're they're

350
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: destroying people's private lands to build high speed rail. I mean,

351
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: at least Dodger Stadium has been useful.

352
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: And if you.

353
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: Notice Dodgers now have a very large Hispanic fan base.

354
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 3: Well, I covered that in this New York Times story,

355
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: saying it took decades until Fernando.

356
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: Came along to heal the wounds of taking the land. Yeah.

357
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 2: But even if it didn't change until Fernando, said some.

358
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Professor at the University of Illinois, And that's forty two

359
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: years ago. Yes, okay, I mean we are really going

360
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: way back in history and all these stories you can't

361
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: correct what's been done. I mean, I find this preposterous.

362
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: Why don't you get up tomorrow morning and do something

363
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: for tomorrow Friday.

364
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: Do something come from.

365
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: The perspective that this nation is a imperialistic racist, land

366
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: grabbing history.

367
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they.

368
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: Do want to do and what was doing, and that's humanity.

369
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: Show me a nation in the world who did not

370
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: barge in on somebody else and try to take their land.

371
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: And the wars were about. Yeah, find me.

372
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: Find me one nation in Asia, Europe, Africa, North South America.

373
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: One nation that didn't flex its muscles and try to

374
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: boss other people. That is human nature and that's going

375
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: to continue for the rest of eternity. And you can't

376
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: go back in time and clean up all those messes

377
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: because the people who did it are dead.

378
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: All right, We got more coming up.

379

385
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 3: that anymore beating the drum? I think so, yes, Why

386
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what's offensive and what's not. I mean,

387
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: all the old cliches.

388
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,440

395
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: was trashed by a listener a couple of weeks.

396
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: I'm always amazed that their actual physical letters will come

397
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: into the station. Not only a letter, but this email

398
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 3: is so much faster. This was typed on a real typewriter. Okay,

399
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: so this is an ancient Dear Debora.

400
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: Earlier this week I heard you reading on air the

401
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: letter from a disgruntled listener who had nothing good to

402
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: say about your voice. There are probably many of us

403
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: who still find your voice the most crystal clear and

404
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: musical of all the newscasters.

405
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 2: Be proud of it.

406
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: Oh, she typed that herself, and you have a typewriter

407
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 5: can read.

408
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: You borrowed one from the old newsroom.

409
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: And she she also does artworks, and she sent there

410
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: her some art.

411
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 3: Sign Mildred yeah and born nineteen hundred. All right, that's

412
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: very crystal clear and musical.

413
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: I know she delivers these to you knowing you'll read

414
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: them solid.

415
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you have to be balanced, ken, right, just

416
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 2: look what I got in the man.

417
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: But then we had several emails and that came in

418
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 3: and we read they were all nice to you.

419
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: Remember, so we already balance this out.

420
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 5: I just thought this one I thought was funny because

421
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 5: there was a return address. That was the only reason

422
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 5: I opened it.

423
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: And why don'd you go bring her a cake?

424
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 5: Then, well it would have to a vegan.

425
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: Cake one of the other you could do that. Since

426
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: this lady was nice. I assume it's a woman, do

427
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: we know?

428
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: Yes, Teresa, Teresa, So wa you got her dress and

429
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: go and visit her.

430
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 5: I'm going to go that far. But thank you, Teresa.

431
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 5: That was very sweet of you.

432
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: Well, it's good that you're back, although you missed a

433
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: great animal story yesterday. I kept watching the video last night.

434
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: There was either a police chase or something at the end.

435
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 3: You know when the police officers make you get out

436
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: of the car with your hands up and eventually have

437
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: to lie down on the road. Well, one of the

438
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: two guys had a little doggie and it was it

439
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: was It was leashed, but it was kind of just

440
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: walking around and it kept following the guy, and eventually,

441
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: when the guy laid splat on the street, it hopped

442
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: up on his back and just kind of sat there.

443
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 5: Oh that's so sweet.

444
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: It was adorable.

445
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 3: It was like I just thought of you right away,

446
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 3: as like, oh, she would love this, even though it

447
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 3: was a tense arrest situation.

448
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: But the cops were kind of puzzled as to what

449
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: to do.

450
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: But then the guy couldn't get away, So I think

451
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: the dog wanted his owner to go to prison.

452
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 5: Oh, because he was maybe abusive.

453
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 2: I don't know.

454
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: The dog was hanging so close to him. It seemed

455
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: like he didn't one else to do. But who takes

456
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: care of me? The dog said, take them?

457
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: I got them.

458
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 5: So do we know what happened to the dog?

459
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: Hen don't know.

460
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: The police eventually took it by the leash and went

461
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: willingly with them, and I don't know what.

462
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: They did with it. So that story just kind of went.

463
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: But we got this one for you.

464
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 3: You know, we're going to finish out the hour with

465
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: oddly enough chef stories. There is a popular La restaurant.

466
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 3: Of course, there's lots of them called horses.

467
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: I hope that's not what they serve. Ugh, that's the

468
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: first thing I thought of, I did. Are you going

469
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: into a restaurant called horses?

470
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 3: It was opened to twenty twenty one, too much fanfare,

471
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: and it's a husband and wife chef team. Well, here

472
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 3: we are in twenty twenty three and things have taken

473
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: an ugly turn. They are divorce proceedings, and of course

474
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: one's accusing the other of assault. That happens all the time, right,

475
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 3: she wants a domestic violence restraining order against the husband.

476
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: But Deborah Mark, the real twist of this story is

477
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 3: she's also accusing him of being a serial cat killer.

478
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: Ah, I got the gag. You save that one?

479
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 5: Urt a serial cat killer?

480
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, uh.

481
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 4: Guy.

482
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: Her name is Elizabeth Johnson. His name is Will Aghajanian.

483
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 3: Together they opened this restaurant. In a court filing, she wrote,

484
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: Will and I have had cats that mysteriously ended up dying,

485
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: including one in twenty seventeen who I took to a

486
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 3: shelter when she became seriously wounded overnight. The shelter told

487
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: me she'd already been seriously abused, but Will denies it.

488
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 3: I believed them then last month, we were given another kitten.

489
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 3: She alleges he joked about feeding the kitten to coyotes

490
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: and said he just didn't like the cat. Eventually, she says,

491
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 3: she witnessed him hurting the cat. Oh no, it's on

492
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: top of I caught Will violently shaking the cat late

493
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: at night and he died the next day. Will put

494
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 3: the dead cat in the trash and insisted on keeping

495
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: the corpse in the house.

496
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to eat food at

497
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: this restaurant. Huh what this guy Will gets you in

498
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: a bad mood. What's uh? What's what's for dinner?

499
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: She's claiming his mental and psychological abuse kept her from

500
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: realizing what he was doing to the animal sooner. Now,

501
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: in a twist to the story, I think as a twist,

502
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: the guy's mother not her mother. His mother, her name

503
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 3: is Amanda Weathersby said in a declaration the couple had

504
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: a series of kittens that died when they lived in

505
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: New York City.

506
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: See this is not good. That's why I used the

507
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: word cereal cap.

508
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: How long did it take for the wife to catch on?

509
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: Because I I mean, we had a cat and lasted

510
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: nineteen years.

511
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: You did yes, despite your abuse.

512
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: My wife. My wife's other cat she had as a kid,

513
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: lasted twenty one years. There are well, you know what

514
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: he wrote in a statement, I love cats, comma, mice, okay,

515
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: and every other animal under God slash Allah whatever each

516
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: religion calls him her and I've loved all animals since

517
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: I was a child.

518
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: He sounds like a nut, doesn't he.

519
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: I have problems killing lobster, and usually tried to do

520
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 3: it in the most humane way possible.

521
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: Because this is a chef.

522
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: That was his statement, I have problems killing lobster. I

523
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: have problems killing lobster.

524
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: I'd say that's a strange response.

525
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: So do we know if he cooked any of the cats.

526
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: That he killed?

527
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 2: That's what I'm wondering here. The restaurant's called Horses, so

528
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: and it's called Horses Well.

529
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: Now, she also claims physical abuse, that he dragged her

530
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: by the legs across the floor while she screamed.

531
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 2: And attempted to resist.

532
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 3: So all this is about restraining order divorce, But he

533
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: says the story, they still kind of both come in

534
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: the restaurant sometimes and they're supposed to stay apart from

535
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: each other. But one day he came in and the

536
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: staff walked out, So I guess they're kind of taking

537
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: her side.

538
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: He also she also requested it in court that he

539
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: stay away one hundred yards away from their dogs.

540
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: Oh dogs too.

541
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: Hauncho, Javi and Spud. Yeah, there's a restraining order to

542
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: keep them away from the dogs.

543
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: A house of animals.

544
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 5: But he loves animals.

545
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't even want to hurt a lot.

546
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 5: Well, kill a lobster, has to do it humanely.

547
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: He also said, she falsely accuses me of things that

548
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: she has done or she threatened to do to me

549
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: and my pets. My pets are like children to me.

550
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: I love them dearly. I am fearful of her since

551
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: I am the victim of her long term abuse. So

552
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: this is why, and John and I have said this

553
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: for years.

554
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: You do not want to be like a family court

555
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: judge or a divorce court judge because it just gets

556
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: ugly and everybody the accusations fly me.

557
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: You can kind of tell who the nut is and

558
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: who's telling the truth.

559
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: He said that she repeatedly threatened to get kill him

560
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 3: and burned him at least twice with a metal spatula

561
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 3: and a spoon that she placed in a friar.

562
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 5: This is a very toxic relationship.

563
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: Wow, Ma, would they do this while serving at the restaurant,

564
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: because I'd go there just to watch this show.

565
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know whether this happened at the restaurant

566
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: or happen at home.

567
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 3: There's a photo of them in twenty nineteen or twenty

568
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: twenty one when they opened the restaurant, and they look

569
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: fine there in the big, old, new modern kitchen.

570
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's say the cliche in happier times?

571
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 3: Happier times? Yeah, Well, Horses issued a statement at the restaurant.

572
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: Will has been on a leave of absence from Horses

573
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 3: as of November twenty twenty two, and we have never

574
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 3: seen it's not been involved in the daily day, but

575
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 3: we've never served as single cat.

576
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: She's still there and still leading the restaurant. That's right. Well,

577
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: welcome back, deborahm More.

578
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 5: Thank you, Ken. I'm surely missed your animal story.

579
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, and thanks for the gasp.

580
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: That was worth it, all right, we got the other

581
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: chef story when we return. Thanks right, No, no, thankfully,

582
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: it does not involve the wounding or naming of any animals.

583
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 2: You are so dramatic. Nothing is underplayed and.

584
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: I'll bet if we find out he really did kill

585
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: the cats, you're gonna want to do that on top

586
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 3: of him.

587
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, can we go do a live

588
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 5: remote outside wherever he is and I'll give him a piece.

589
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: Of my microphone before Yes, that sounds pretty fitty.

590
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

591
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 4: A M.

592
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: Six forty. We're on the radio one until four after

593
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: four o'clock. You can hear the show as a podcast.

594
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: Johnny can on demand and catch up on anything you missed.

595
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: All right, well we're talking about chefs. We just talked

596
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: about this couple that owns a restaurant in La called

597
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Horses that are going through a what's the word in

598
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: acrimonious divorce with all sorts of physical abuse allegations against

599
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: each other, and then then cats. The wife is accusing

600
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: the husband of being a serial cat murderer.

601
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

602
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: And that's the part that bothered me is that his

603
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: mother had said that, well, they had cats that died.

604
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: When they lived in the East Coast kittens. I supposed

605
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: this was a lifelong thing. Imagine that.

606
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: Now we come back to California, where things are always

607
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: about getting rid of anything that is any connection to

608
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: the environment, and that of course deals with fossil fuels

609
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: and natural gas. And the big thing now is to

610
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: ban the use of gas stoves. So in some places

611
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: in the Bay Area, including Palo Alto, you cannot put

612
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: in natural gas connections into new building construction.

613
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 2: They passed that a while back, which brings us to chefs.

614
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 3: You'll hear many expert chefs who say that in the kitchen,

615
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 3: cooking with gas is.

616
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: The way to make the food taste better. That's just

617
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: the way it is.

618
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: So we have one pretty high level celebrity chef even

619
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 3: I've heard of him, Jose Andres, who apparently was pretty

620
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: worked up he was going to sue Palo Alto because

621
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: he agreed to open a restaurant there in twenty nineteen.

622
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: Simon Property Group originally applied to build his restaurant in

623
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, got local approvals and then the city council

624
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: revised the building code which were which would be developer

625
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: installed the gas line to the building before city officials

626
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: instructed that the building would have to be updated to

627
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: the new code. Andre said, no way, then I will

628
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: not open that restaurant, and perhaps we will sue because

629
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: we had an agreement, and now you're changing something that's

630
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: very important to the success of the restaurant, which is

631
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: cooking with gas. So the update is they bowed. They're

632
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: going to give him an exams for this restaurant called Zaytinya.

633
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

634
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: He said, Zaitinya would be forced to alter its signature

635
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: five star menu, which it is unwilling to do. Zatina

636
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: cannot compromise the caliber of its cuisine and reputation. Now,

637
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: if we cannot provide gas in the building.

638
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: They will likely choose not to locate within the city.

639
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: This would be an unfortunate loss for the residents of

640
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 3: Palo Alto.

641
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: This is what's gotta happen, all right, all these jackals

642
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: with their stupid no gas stove rules. It's like restaurants

643
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: will just move somewhere else and then all these rich, white,

644
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: woke people will have nowhere to eat. Are They're gonna

645
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: have to drive a long distance to eat? Starve them.

646
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: I say, ah, there are a bunch of bullies. They're

647
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: hysterical bullies. Gas stoves don't harm the climate at all.

648
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: It is completely utterly false.

649
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 3: It is just when I covered this last time, we

650
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: said what they tried to do was make it a

651
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: health issue, that the gas could kill you in the kitchen.

652
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: But that's also an exaggeration the way you phrased that.

653
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: Though they tried to make it a health issue.

654
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: Because didn't.

655
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: It didn't fly because people thought it was an absurd restriction,

656
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: and so they said, well, this might be killing you,

657
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: might be killing your children and your cats.

658
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: You know, they went right to people, do comit suicide

659
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: that way? Right. That's the thing is when this doesn't fly.

660
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: Logically, everybody knows gas stoves are not harming the climate

661
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: now and it's not killing people. It's not killing anybody,

662
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: and there's no research that says it does. And if

663
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: they claim it, it's it's because they faked the research.

664
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: So much of this research is fake nonsense it you

665
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: know what, you know what he realized. This makes sound

666
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: like an odd comparison, but just just go with me

667
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: a second. You remember when we had the Michael Ferguson,

668
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: uh it was Ferguson, Missouri. It was Michael Brown got

669
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: killed by the police officer and they said the cop

670
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: murdered him, and all the actors this and all the

671
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: cable channels said, brand shoot, that's right, and then and

672
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: then Obama's Justice Department came out and said, well, that's

673
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: not true, uh, that that Michael Brown rushed the cop

674
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: and it was self defense. And I remember reading and

675
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: seeing some of these activists saying, well, maybe, uh, maybe

676
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: that story wasn't true, but it's serving a larger truth.

677
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: And that's the mentality here. That's exactly right.

678
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: Maybe gas stoves aren't killing anybody, but there's a larger

679
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: truth about the burning of fossil fuels. And so what

680
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: they want to do is incrementally, little by little, take

681
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: away your rights and your freedoms. You can't cook by gas.

682
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: Why because people are dying. Show me the bodies. Oh,

683
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: we don't have them, show me the research. All wait,

684
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: we got we gotta fake the research. But it's to

685
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: serve a larger movement here, a religion.

686
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: They're trying to do this in the.

687
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: Name of their, their, their, their, their Goddess Earth that

688
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: they're worshiping now, and that gas from a gas stove

689
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: is harming Goddess Earth. This is a pagan religion, a

690
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: primitive pagan religion from thousands of years ago that is

691
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: undergoing a rebirth, but now it has a cover of science.

692
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: So Palo Alta wanted to make it clear this is

693
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: just a one time thing for this one restaurant, because

694
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 3: now people are wondering, well, what if I also agree

695
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: to open up a restaurant then I wanted to use

696
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 3: gas or a building. I signed a deal to, you know,

697
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 3: to build a building that I want to use gas

698
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 3: in the building. And they're saying, well, they're just giving

699
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 3: him this exception because this is a world renowned chef.

700
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 2: They didn't want to destroy to look bad.

701
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, but even if you're not a

702
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: world renounded chef, you should have the right to cook

703
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: with gas. And even if you're just living in a

704
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 1: cheap apartment, you should have the right to cook with gas.

705
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: And you just got to move out of these crazy cities. Look, look,

706
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: people are getting fed up and they're moving out of

707
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: out of states in cities that are too onerous, that

708
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: are too bullying, and that trend just has to continue.

709
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: Just tell them to go stick it. You're not going

710
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: to have your restaurant in their town.

711
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:12,640
