1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Why

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Don't you get sick of

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: hearing that? Every few minutes? We're on the radio from

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: one until four, and then after four o'clock on the

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: iHeart app. It's the Johnny Canon demand podcast. Well, did

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: slowly evolve over the years. You think you always used

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: to say more stimulating, doc, Right, it's just it's not

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: that anymore, that's right. We dropped that idea. That's right. Oh,

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: it's an old fogy word. Now. Really, we really got

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: to use the word app as often as possible. So

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: that's the new wave.

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: By the way, it's what they're trying to say. There

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: is no such thing as radio, right, right, everything's digital.

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: Now. You can take us anywhere any time, right. We

16
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: don't refer to us as a radio station. No, we're everywhere.

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: We're just a noise maker. But no, we weren't really

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: leaving up to the stimulating slogan, so they dropped we're

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: just focus group said we're just we're just talk. That's right,

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: it's not as stimulating. No.

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: Well, a quick reminder though you can use the app.

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: Do you connected the moistline? We'll be playing calls in

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: just two days during the three o'clock hour. The microphone

24
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: icon is way to connect and the totaly number of

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: one eight seven seven moist eighty six one eight seven

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: seven sixty six four seven eighty eight six Gotalana on

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: tap Today. Mayor Karen Bascone is that we call her

28
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: now Rascone. Yes, she's been sued by a group called

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: Fix the City and it's over her emergency declaration over homelessness.

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out what more about what this is

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: about next hour. But I do believe that the group

32
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: is connected to the group it's or is the group

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: that's protesting that attempt on the West Side to house

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: over thirty homeless people near the old West Side Pavilion there.

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: Remember that story in a few weeks back and Councilman

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: Katie Yaroslawski trying to push in the homeless there, and anyway,

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: I think part of their argument is connected to the

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: idea that they're just using this homeless declar to just

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: shove homeless people into neighborhoods where people don't.

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Want, right where normal people live where normal people live.

41
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: And of course tonight is the debate at the Ronald

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Reagan Library. Remember we were there in twenty sixteen.

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: It was there was so much excitement.

44
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: What was the fiftieth like there are twenty candidates, But yeah,

45
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 2: well it's a very exciting time.

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: Trump of course was the center of attention and it

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: was exciting. This one is not exciting because Trump's not

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: there and he's got the first one didn't prove to

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: be anything exciting. No, and he's winning by forty or

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: fifty points. Yeah, it's such a weird situation because you

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: can make arguments, you know, all day why Trump isn't

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: going to win. You can make arguments all day why

53
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Biden isn't going to win, and most people don't want

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: either one of them, but both of them are leading

55
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: their side by enormous amounts, so there isn't a competitive

56
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: race on. Well, there's only no challenger today Biden, except

57
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: for RFK Junior challenge in there. There's a lot of

58
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: challengers here, but none of them have caught on. And

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: so yeah, I was thinking, I mean, the only the

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: only possibility, because it's impossible to predict, is somehow the

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: weight of all these trials and maybe convictions and maybe

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: a jail sentence does have some effect in a general

63
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: election at the margins, Okay, you know, on Trump, because

64
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be a close race so called independence, Yeah,

65
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: the people in the middle, and you know, maybe yeh,

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: because people forget stuff right and and is there anybody

67
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: neutral on Trump? Though? Really I don't know, but I

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: think people. I think people are warming up to the

69
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: old days. Ah. I think there's you know, I saw

70
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: this of statistics. You know, what was the economy like

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: under Trump? The inflation rate was one point four percent?

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: The gas it was low. Yeah, gas was two dollars

73
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and thirty nine cents. A home mortgage was like two

74
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: point seven something. Uh And and now we know all

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: those numbers are really big, So there could be a

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: feeling it's like, hey, you know, he is a big

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: a hole, but what the hell? Life was better and.

78
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: They're separating all of his legal and personal problems from

79
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: just what was like when he was president in terms

80
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: of the economy and the way they felt about things.

81
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I thought about that today, Doo. I said

82
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: that some people do just what do they call it,

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: compartmentalized compartmentalized. Yeah, well that's what you that's what you

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: do with your family.

85
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: People did that with Bill Clinton back of the day. Well,

86
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: ye you we would have done that about John F.

87
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: Kennedy. Yeah, people know what that So that's that's that's

88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. I mean, it's impossible to predict this stuff,

89
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 1: but it would have to take I don't know, people

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: just get get worn down by all because he's there's

91
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of news involving his trials next year,

92
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: right because the media still wants to take him down obviously.

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: That's that's so there's just and you could not wear

94
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: away at people. And beginning tomorrow, in case you didn't know,

95
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: the House is Republicans are going to start their impeachment

96
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: inquiry into Biden.

97
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know how much coverage that's going

98
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: to get it, whether or not that puts a dent

99
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: in people and how they feel about the story, but

100
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: that that's a pretty good one.

101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: Actually.

102
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: There's a lot there about the Biden family using the

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: Biden's position to make themselves wealthy.

104
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like he is such a wounded dog right now,

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: that part of me would really like a Republican with

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: a clean record to go in and probably would win easy,

107
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: rather than playing this roulette game with Trump, who's likely

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: to do like, you know, one hundred and fifty other

109
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: crazy things between now and election day. But if you know,

110
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: one of.

111
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: These other Candida supposed to be dissent, I know, because

112
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 2: people thought Florida did pretty well during COVID. He seems

113
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 2: like a conversion of Trump and blah blah blah.

114
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: He's not making any ima all. That's still true, but

115
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: people don't like him comparing that Trump, right, Yeah, they've

116
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: projected him. You know, if Trump, you know, dropped dead tomorrow,

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: maybe everything would be different. I don't know. We'll get

118
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: some coverage of that. In the three o'clock hour.

119
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: Alex Stone is covering the debate, which unfolds later tonight

123
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: family members of slain police officers don't like the way

124
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: things are handled in the criminal justice system, particularly if

125
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,520

Speaker 2: His mother, Kim went on ABC News and she wanted

130
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: to make it very clear that she is not happy

131
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: with the decision not to pursue the death penalty in

132
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,360

156
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: News interview which aired on Good Morning America, Kim the

157
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: mother said, it just seems that the district attorney wants

158
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: to spare a life when this suspect didn't spare my

159
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: son's life.

160
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 2: He executed my life. He executed my son. You can't

161
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: do this to families. We need to defend our law

162
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: enforcement officers. And that that's a disgrace, right, is what

163
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: she said. And Gascon just changes the subject. Well, it's

164
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: not going to bring him back.

165
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Which is a freak which main thing to say, Yes

166
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: it is, but you know, he just has to give

167
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: it a sound bite to the reporters. The reporters will

168
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: transmit the sound bite and then Gascon skiders out the

169
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: side door. But it's a stupid remark.

170
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: Her response to that was, how dare you on national TV?

171
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Tell me you're not seeking the death penally because it

172
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: won't bring my son back or my son's not coming back.

173
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing your job.

174
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: And she said, and this is key, it may be helpful.

175
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: I truly hope that people of Los Angeles realized what

176
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: this district attorney is not doing for us. And I

177
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: hope when the election comes next they really think hard.

178
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: About that bubble that they fill in next year. He's

179
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: up for US reelection. Guess call. So the law is

180
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: this was clearly a first degree murder, clearly special circumstances.

181
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: He was lying in wait and using a gun, so

182
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: it meets the criteria of the death penalty. That's what

183
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: the law says. And Gascon refuses to follow the law.

184
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: And I think most of the public would pick a

185
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: case like this as a good reason for the death penalty.

186
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: They issued a statement, the only county DA issued. The

187
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: office issued a statement to ABC News. We have nothing

188
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: but compassion for the family of the deputies. Does but

189
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: listen to this sentence. Nothing that can happen in the

190
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: criminal justices and will ever repair the harm of losing

191
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: someone so beloved.

192
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: Do you think so?

193
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: I think some people believe when there's adequate punishment, there's

194
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: something to be felt for that. Yeah, what do you

195
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: think in the states where the execute people, family members

196
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: still show up and it's a feeling of yes, finally justice.

197
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: Why do you think the families want it so bad?

198
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: Why do you think if they want it so bad,

199
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: because they'll feel justice that this guy lost his life

200
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: because he took this deputy's life. Yes, it does settle

201
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: the score to some extent.

202
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: And what's worse here is that he may he's probably

203
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: going to use the insanity defense. So while they say, oh,

204
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: life in prison without the possibility parole, if he gets

205
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: the insanity defense because his family says he's paranoid schizophrenic,

206
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: he'll go to a state hospital and who knows when

207
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: he'll be released twenty nine, Yeah.

208
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: The psychiatrist will release him because ten years, twenty years,

209
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: who knows. The psychiatrists release a lot of damaged violent psychopaths,

210
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: and often they have to be rounded up and put

211
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: back in the mental hospital because those psychiatrists don't know

212
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They've got this they've got this thing

213
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: about it's like in their ego, Oh, I can fix him,

214
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: I can rehabilitate him. You know, we can bring him

215
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: back into society. That's their goal. That's what they want

216
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: to do. They can't. They won't accept defeat. They won't

217
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: accept that there's nothing you could do about a brain

218
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: that's damaged that doesn't work properly. They like to think

219
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: there is, though, but there isn't. There were miracle workers

220
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: because we are trained in psychological repair. It's not a

221
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: computer you can reprogram. There could be organic brain damage.

222
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean when they do scans of psychopaths, their brains

223
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: are different. There's one section of the brain that's smaller

224
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: than it should be. But what about paranoid schizophrenia, which

225
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: leads someone to believe that someone's out to get them,

226
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: and then they get defensive and then they get their guns.

227
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: They don't know what causes that, and you can give

228
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: them drugs which contains the symptoms, but these guys rarely

229
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: take the drugs consistently because one of the hallmarks of

230
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: this kind of mental illness, whether it's schizophrenia or bipolar,

231
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: is that the person with the mental disease does not

232
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: know he has it, doesn't believe he has it, doesn't

233
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: accept that he has it. And that's they think everything

234
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: they're doing is normal. They think the visions that they

235
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: have are normal. Why do you think they What do

236
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: you think? On the street, you see a guy talking

237
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: to imaginary people because to him it's real, and you

238
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: can't go up to him and say, hey, those guys

239
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: you're talking to are not real. Oh he sees them,

240
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: here's them, Yes they are. You're crazy. Maybe he is

241
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: in the real world and we're in the fake one.

242
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: Well I could get that, I hope. So you've mentioned

243
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: things like that before. Hell, maybe none of this is real,

244
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping we're all in our own created I

245
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: gotta world in our brain every day. I hope I

246
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: wake up and I'm somewhere else. We'll be back.

00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: we got word in a couple of news stories that

254
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: a frequent guest on The John in Kentstry were on

255
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: the show probably five six times over the last several years.

256
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: I got beat up by a homeless guy. We're talking

257
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: about John Alley. John Alley is in Santa Mano.

258
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: Oh, you didn't know this, No, I guess just Ray

Speaker 1: and I were Okay, well you're gonna find out. Well

260
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: tell me.

261
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: John Ally's been on our show numerous times. He's part

262
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: of a business group. He owned some real estate in

263
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: Santa Monica, and they have coalesced business owners to try

264
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: to press the Santa Monica City government to something about

265
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: the vagrant problem. I mean, we have heard stories about

266
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: how it's escalated. I mean, you've even mentioned that the

267
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 2: promenade area is a disgrace now that there's sometimes cooking

268
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: met and the elevators are sleeping in there are pooping everywhere,

269
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: the old tratics everywhere. A story last time. He did

270
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: the story. There's deaths from overdose, there's lots of them.

271
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. We've gone into one of the garages once, or

272
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: maybe I went by myself. I don't think my wife

273
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: would have been with me. And it smelled like hoop

274
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: and urine and coming at us stairwells because there's people

275
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: sleeping in there and they're sleeping in the elevator. It

276
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: is really disgusting. Everything is about human waste in that

277
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: city and just just drug addicted people face down, crazy

278
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: people screaming at you. I mean, we got almost every

279
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: time we take a walk in a park in Santa Monica,

280
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: we end up having to do maneuvers to dodge out

281
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: of the way of a crazy person coming at us.

282
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: Almost every time.

283
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: Now, well, it looks like he was walking around in

284
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: Palisades Park around three point thirty in the afternoon, John Alley,

285
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: and what he does is he kicks out his phone.

286
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: He takes pictures and video so he can document the problem. Well,

287
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: he ran into a vagrant who didn't want him to

288
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: take the pictures and the video, and he hit John Alley,

289
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: who woke up in an ambulance with his jaw broken

290
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: in two places, two broken teeth at a concussion. Oh no, yes,

291
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: I mean we talked to him, except that I don't

292
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: think he's in any condition to do that.

293
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Was he was he? Maybe he doesn't say was it close?

294
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: Was he close to the guy or the guy chased

295
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: him down?

296
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: All it says here Ali was taking pictures with his

297
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: cell phone to illustrate the public safety threat, and the

298
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: homeless guy told him to stop, and I guess he didn't.

299
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: The homeless guy became angry, demanded Ali stop taking pictures,

300
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: then just hit him in the face, knocked him to

301
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: the ground, took the phone, and took John Ally's wallet

302
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: and fled. A suspect has been arrested. His name is

303
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: Tyler Jordan Keating. And when you see he's thirty four,

304
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: and you look at his booking photo, there's a lot

305
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: of drug wear on that face.

306
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's drug addicted lunatics. There is no shame

307
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: in that government in Santa Monica. That is the worst mayor,

308
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: the worst set of city council people, just the worst,

309
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: the worst. They are inhuman. They are insane. The government

310
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: of Santa Monica. Every one of those people is insane.

311
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: There's one guy that usually speaks and sounds normal. His

312
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: name is Phil Brock, the councilman, and he's mentioned in

313
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: this story. He's horrified.

314
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: He says, we have a huge drug abuse problem here.

315
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: He says, we've added more police. We've added seven more police.

316
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: He said, we've deployed more police in our downtown and

317
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: throughout the city.

318
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: But it's not enough. We have to do more, and

319
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: the county state have to do more. Police don't do anything.

320
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: They also hired a new security company called Covered six

321
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: that also operates in Beverly Hills.

322
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: They're supposed to help them. They don't do anything. What

323
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: you have to do is chase these guys out of

324
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: the park and force them into some kind of treatment

325
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: or jail. You. I mean, when we walk through, it's

326
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: the Palace. States Park is the park we go through,

327
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: and there are always guys sleeping on the benches. There's

328
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: always guys stumbling around, hiding behind trees, talking to themselves,

329
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: gesturing wildly, having arguments with imaginary people. They're psychotic and

330
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: and I feel bad for it because John was trying

331
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: so hard for years to clean up the place.

332
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: I know, and I get fear for him because he'd

333
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: always say he goes right into these homeless extatments man

334
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: to document what he says, is this huge problem. And

335
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: I wondered, because you know what I think the last

336
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: time we talked to him, although he didn't see it,

337
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: remember another guy got attacked this a couple of months ago.

338
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah, it's coming on the air. Oh.

339
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 2: Actually, Phil Brock, Phil Brock gott it, Phil Brock got

340
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: it got he had gotten to some sort of a

341
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: scuffle with some homeless guy.

342
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 4: Right.

343
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: The mayor is some whack job named Gleam g l e. A. M. Davis.

344
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: It's a woman one year term. That's not the one

345
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: that was in charge during the Remember that they ran

346
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: wild in the city back during the pandemic after George Foll.

347
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: That's a different woman, right, that was a different woman.

348
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: And then there's a Lennon ne Grete who's mayor pro

349
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: tem for a two year and I don't know who's

350
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: in charge. Nobody's in charge. There's nobody in charge. Rock says.

351
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: If you look at the rap sheets of the people

352
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 2: that are committing these crimes, they're repeat offenders over and

353
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: over over the years. And that's our problem, again and again.

354
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: There's no punishment anymore, there's no consequences. And here we

355
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: come Sunday with zero bail in La County. There's going

356
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: to be more of this.

357
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 1: Zero bail for all the thefts, all the shoplifting. They

358
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: can steal your car, zero bail. It's only going to

359
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: get worse. And I don't understand the people of Santa Monica.

360
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Why they vote for these political leaders. Why that? I

361
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: can't believe any of them want to live like this. Well,

362
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: there's such a huge disconnect between the way normal people

363
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: want to live and their voting patterns. It's incredible. I know,

364
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: it's shocking. There's just too much of this. Well, you know,

365
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: they can't afford the rents. What else are we going

366
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: to do but let them wander the street their drug

367
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: addicts and mental patience. That's it. That's the story.

368
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: We risked the best for John Ally and maybe'll get

369
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: a chance to talk to him down the road as

370
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: he recovers from being attacked in Santa Monica by a

371
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 2: crazed vagrant. All right, we got more coming up. It's

372
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: the John and Ken Show kf I AM six forty.

373
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere. It's the iHeartRadio app.

374
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from kf

375
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 4: I AM six forty.

376
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: I grind my teeth when you hear his voice. That

377
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: boom did so much damage. It's John didn't right before him,

378
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: schwartzeneg all right before him, Gray Davis. Now we got

379
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: new some who hoo hoo, didn't do damage. Nobody to

380
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: look up to.

381
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: You got to go back to Pete Wilson and maybe

382
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 2: things were pretty good.

383
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: Pete Wilson and Dick Reard. That's the last time we

384
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: had competent peters. Ever since then, it's just one clown

385
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: after another. It's John and Ken Show u KF I

386
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio.

387
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: Sunday and I'm looking at the headline. Chris Reid's been

388
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 2: in our show many times before and does write pieces

389
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: for various news media outlets. Has an opinion piece for

390
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: the San Diego Union Tribune. Sunday is the fifteenth anniversary

391
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: of the deceit that cleared the way full of Bullet

392
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: train fiasco. State officials were told the project would never

393
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: pan out because investors would pass and investors new taxpayer

394
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 2: subsidies were forbidden if revenues fell short of costs. All

395
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: of this was known back in two thousand and eight

396
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: when this abomination was pushed through to the voters, but

397
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: of course that didn't stop people from buying all the

398
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: happy talk about a wonderful high speed rail system in

399
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 2: the state. We're going to really modernize and get people there.

400
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: And you and I were saying back then, what's wrong

401
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: with the plane.

402
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: The airplane, Well, there's nothing and it's always going to

403
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: be the plane, and no train is ever going to

404
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: outdo the appeal of a plane. This is a corrupt

405
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: payoff to democratic connected unions, that's all. Whatever unions are

406
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: doing the make work jobs building this fake train route,

407
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: they're getting rewarded really well. And so are all the

408
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: engineering and business consultant firms, anybody who's involved in the

409
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: white collar work to facilitate the scam. They're getting paid

410
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: off too with tax money to create something that will

411
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: never ever be built and never ever be used.

412
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: The chief executive officer of the California High Speed Rail

413
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: Authority is Brian P.

414
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: Kelly. His compensation three hundred and eighty four nine and

415
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,719
Speaker 1: eighty four dollars for the position. Yeah, there you go.

416
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 2: And that's a news release from a few years ago,

417
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 2: so it probably gets even more than that.

418
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: So he will literally make millions of dollars overseeing an

419
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: operation that does nothing but suck tax money out and

420
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: enrich everyone connected. And they knew this fifteen years ago.

421
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: They knew this, of course they did. They didn't care.

422
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: It wasn't set up to build a railway. I'm just

423
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, kind of exhausted behind how stubbornly naive people

424
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: want to be. They still want to believe that the

425
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: people in power really want to do good for us. No,

426
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: they don't. They set up a great racket to enrich themselves.

427
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: High speed Rail is a fake. It's a completely fake project.

428
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 2: No one even talks about it or thinks about it anymore.

429
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: But it's still operating under the radar now. The initial

430
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: bond money was about ten billion dollars and they're starting

431
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: to run out.

432
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: They got a few billion.

433
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: This is back when Obama was president, but everything dried up.

434
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: Well.

435
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: News this week that they did get two hundred and

436
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: two million dollars. It's not a lot when you need

437
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: billions to finish. And in case you're not aware, all

438
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 2: their building is one hundred and seventy miles.

439
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: From were said to Bakersfield, that's it. Who knows when

440
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: that'll be done?

441
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: Estimates Now, take us back to twenty two, take us

442
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: out to twenty twenty nine, just for the hundred miles right,

443
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: and nobody's going to be twenty one years after the bond,

444
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,719
Speaker 2: and nobody's it's probably ever gonna be built. And if

445
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: it's built nobody's gonna use it. No, they'll build, They'll

446
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: build this one segment because somehow they'll they'll wrangle the money.

447
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: But you're right, nobody will use it because it's a

448
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: useless segment and they won't get any more money from

449
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: the government. And there's certainly no investors interested in this.

450
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: We knew that from the beginning. I mean that was

451
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: in the editorial that investors were like, well, if they're

452
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: not gonna use any tax money to subsidize this, why

453
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: should I put all the private money into this? So

454
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 2: that this is too.

455
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: Uncertain, Nobody in Bakersfield needs to go to Mercett, and

456
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: nobody in Mercette needs to go to Bakersfield, and if

457
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: you do, driving will be quicker than this. Well, remember

458
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: they had.

459
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: This idea that you could take high speed rail and

460
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: then they're gonna have some other like a bus connection

461
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: to get you, some other rail line to get the

462
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: Silicon Valley.

463
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna do that.

464
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: So the people that can't afford to live in Silicon

465
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: Valley can live down in Bakersfield and use this as

466
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: a commuting brand.

467
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: No, they'd rather sleep in their car. They nobody's gonna

468
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: get on a train to take a bus to connect

469
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: them to an other train. Nobody's doing that. It's ridiculous.

470
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: So listen to this.

471
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: The two hundred and two million dollar grant is going

472
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: to fund six grade separations in the lovely town of Shafter,

473
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: a small Current County town northwest of Bakersfield.

474
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Perfect.

475
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 2: It will separate car traffic from high speed rail. That's

476
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: perfect name Shafter exactly. It's the taxpayers that are getting

477
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: the Shafter. Construction of these grade separations won't begin until

478
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: August of twenty twenty five, with a three year completion estudent.

479
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: I haven't even got this money. I don't know, but

480
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: I can only imagine because Biden is prisent and it's.

481
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: The unions who will be doing this, this fake construction,

482
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: and then it's the companies that are supplying the materials

483
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: are connected.

484
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: This came from Biden's twenty twenty one Infrastructural Law RW

485
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 2: I know it earmarked one hundred and eight billion for

486
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: public transit projects, and this is what they're giving high

487
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: speed rail.

488
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: It's corruption and waste to enrich people embedded in the system,

489
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with our lives. Nothing.

490
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: You got to hand it to them fifteen years of

491
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: milk in this. Yeah, they've done a pretty good job.

492
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they're almost out of the bond money, right.

493
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what happens in the next ten years,

494
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: because the estimate is that they don't even have enough

495
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: money to finish this one hundred and seventy one.

496
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Stretch, one hundred and seventy one mile stretch. It's fifteen

497
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: years of people scrolling on their screens, not paying attention

498
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: to the world, not having an interest in life anymore,

499
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: just keep scrolling.

500
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: So what they do after I still think they'll find

501
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: a way to scratch out this one segment, but it's

502
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 2: going to take an out of ten years, and by

503
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: then nobody will care, nobody will be interested and no,

504
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: and you're.

505
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: Right, it'll just be tumbleweeds. Eventually, most of the people

506
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: who voted for the thing are going to be dead

507
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: and the people decades from now are going, what was

508
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: this about? Why do we have this thing? I'm looking

509
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: at it something they completed. As you said before, they

510
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: do a lot of viaducts like these overpasses. Yeah, the

511
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Stone one that's apparently in Highway ninety nine. It's the

512
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: high speed real to take it over Highway ninety nine.

513
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: I was driving down the two ten Freeway on a

514
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: Sunday morning a few weeks ago to go up to

515
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: the lake, and I looked over at that stupid train

516
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: that runs down the center of the two ten freeway.

517
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: What is that the Orange line, Eric, and I it's

518
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: the Orange line. No, that's the valley. Oh it's the valley. Yeah.

519
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Well Metrolink. Yeah, it's Metrolink. That's what it is. That's right,

520
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: the orange all right, So it's Metrolink. And I'm driving

521
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: and this this train goes by, and it has about

522
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: six or seven cars, and I look inside and one guy.

523
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: I saw one guy's taking the train at about you know,

524
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm in cars. It could you didn't see about six

525
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: about six or seven, and you saw one guy.

526
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: I saw one guy everything. It was a Sunday morning.

527
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: He said, it was the Sunday morning. But why are

528
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: they running the train on a Sunday morning for one guy?

529
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: And then he reserved it.

530
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: A few weeks later, I'm driving the same route on

531
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: a Sunday morning and here comes the train in the

532
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: opposite direction. The first one was going west to east.

533
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: This one's going east to west. And I'm looking and

534
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: there's nobody in there. Nothing. It's like you just have

535
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: the train conductors right, like those bike lanes right, Yes,

536
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: like the bike lanes that nobody takes. All Right, we're laughing,

537
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: but we're really crying because ten billion plus is out

538
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: the door of taxpayer money for this crazy train. Well

539
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: more coming up Johnny Ken, KFI AM six point forty

540
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

541
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

542
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

543
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: One of the first things that Karen Bascone did when

544
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: she became mayor is declare a local emergency on homelessness

545
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 2: in housing. Well, she's got sued a West Side based nonprofit.

546
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to a representative after the news

547
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: at two o'clock called Fix the City has sued the

548
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: city government to try to strike down this declaration of

549
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: a local emergency on homelessness, saying it's a vast and

550
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: illegal expansion of mayoral power. So we'll get into that

551
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: with them after the news at to a clock Here

552
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: on the Johnny Ken Show. A reminder that the voiceline

553
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: known the world over is ready to take your call

554
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: leave a message. They could leave a message, because this

555
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't be a call if use the app, right, that's

556
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: not considered a call.

557
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: A few give a message on the app. Correct.

558
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: You know what I saw the other day new proper

559
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: phone etiquette. No longer you're supposed to leave anybody a voicemail.

560
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: Don't do it.

561
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I saw that. That's stupid unless they just want

562
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: to hear your voice. But it's no longer considered appropriate.

563
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: Well, good, then I'm going to continue offending people. Yeah,

564
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: I hear that. My sons have told me that it's

565
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: like nobody leaves a voicemail. It's like, maybe you're sorry.

566
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: Generation doesn't leave voicemails, but leaving text messages is an

567
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: easy way to get people to misunderstand. Right, where did

568
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: this get said? I leave voicemails all the time? My

569
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: son was telling a youngster.

570
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it was an article of the day about

571
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: new phone etiquette. Eric So, I don't remember the source,

572
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 2: but the headline the ms are no longer the right

573
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: thing to do vmsy.

574
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: No, I think because I have found that that that

575
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: text messages, it can easily get misinterpreted because you're not

576
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: giving enough detail and nuance, and plus, you know the

577
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: sound of your voice really matters. The context of how

578
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: you deliver a message really matters, because messages can look

579
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: very terse uh in print, but when they hear you talking,

580
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: it sounds different. And and I don't have patience to text.

581
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: That's another part of it. If I get a text

582
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: message that says hey call me, that probably means I'm

583
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: in trouble. If I get a voicemail that says hey

584
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: call me right, that just means just call me back. Yeah,

585
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: it's it's I think the texting is a really inefficient

586
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: way of communicating anything more than like three or four

587
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: words at a time. Well, we have a family in

588
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: Ohio that's really upset with a hospital. It's a term

589
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: I'd never heard before. Fake alive, fake alive. They claim

590
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: that they took their mother and maybe wife was a

591
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: sixty five year old woman who's not identified. She was

592
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: in good health when she walked into this hospital in

593
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: Ohio call a part of the Adena Health System. She's

594
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: supposed to have a routine heart cathorization, that was the

595
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: procedure she was going to undergo. Well, when the family

596
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: had checked in on her and they said, well, yeah,

597
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,239
Speaker 1: you can go see her. But you know, she's kind

598
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: of ailing. They went into the room and they were told,

599
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: maybe you want to consider taking her off of life support.

600
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: It's not good. Here's the problem. They're claiming she was

601
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: fake alive. That the person propped up in the bed

602
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: the mother, the woman who was already dead, but the

603
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: hospital tried to cover up the fact that she died

604
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: during surgery by telling the family that she's alive, but barely,

605
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: and maybe you want to take her off a life

606
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: support Because it turns out the cardiologist who did the procedure,

607
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: doctor Jared Betts, has been questioned previously over his credentials.

608
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's performed at least three three of these

609
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: aortic valve replacement procedures despite not being qualified to perform

610
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the specialized operation. Not being qualified, he allegedly cut into

611
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: an artery during the procedure. What was he an auto

612
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: mechanic And they thought.

613
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: They had this under control, but she was bleeding out

614
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,479
Speaker 2: in the ICU and another doctor took over, but it

615
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: was too late.

616
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: She died.

617
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: But I guess they wheeled her back into the hospital room,

618
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: propped her up. It looked like she was just kind

619
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: of unconscious, and told the family. I guess to avoid

620
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: the bigger lawsuit, right right, she's.

621
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: Ailing it didn't work. Maybe you want to just consider

622
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: pulling the plug. That's pretty bad, isn't it, Because it's

623
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: really bad. Apparently the death certificate is not Her medical

624
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: records indicate she died at one pm, but her death

625
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: certificate is saying three h five PM, and that's when

626
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: the family was brought into the room. It urged to

627
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: take her off a life support, so that's where their contention,

628
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: except there was trying to cover up this boob's bad work.

629
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: There's no more life to support. Boy, there's a lot

630
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: of just lunatics running around. Huh. This guy actually was

631
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: in surgery with real surgical instruments and he's opening up

632
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: somebody's heart. Then he wasn't qualified. He wasn't, which meane

633
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: he hadn't done it very much.

634
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: I would imagine that this was quite a operation, which

635
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: probably involved what do they call him, like the risk

636
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: manager at the hospital.

637
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be a huge lawsuit.

638
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, cathorization she was going to have, so it's

639
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: related to that. But I don't think she was having

640
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: any artic replacement. A routine heart cathorization.

641
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's where they try to like burn

642
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: off some dead tissue that like a heart, heartbeat of regularities.

643
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so I have a feeling somebody said this could

644
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: be huge, and this guy's got bad credentials. Let's just

645
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: make it look like she's ailing, and they pulled the

646
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: life support on her and they actually kill her. That's

647
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: what I'm guessing they did. Yeah, right, fake alive, it's

648
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: the term they use for this. They better have pretty

649
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: deep insurance to pay up for that.

650
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: All right. When we return, we are going to talk

651
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: about a lawsuit against Karen Bescone formerly Karen Bessetti. Right,

652
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Vanessa's gast gone. She's as good as George Gascon when

653
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: it comes to keeping the public safe.

654
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: Well, this emergency she declared on homelessness and housing is

655
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: being challenged by a nonprofit from the West Side called

656
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: Fix the City. We'll find out the details when we

657
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 2: come back with a guest who knows exactly why they

658
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: are charging this lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles

659
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: to end the emergency. Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live
