I'm dying to know which was 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: your favorite. 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: One involved you. 12 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: Oh okay, well that that really doesn't give me a hint. 13 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: Well, you'll see you could probably guess anyway. 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 2: That's what I figure. I figure that. 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: So anyway, thank you. Your costume was very well received, 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: the one that you purchased for me, and but I 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: did the Garcetti dancing. 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 3: Thank you. You're such a good sport. I mean, you're 19 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: dancing was hysterical. One listener, I think I told you 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 3: this off the air. John said that she's saving it 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,319 Speaker 3: on her She saved it on her phone because when 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 3: she wants a good laugh, she's gonna watch you. 23 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. See, we're not only bringing food to hungry children. 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: We're bringing joy to people. Yes, well I was.

There is 34 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 4: a lot of Leopard. 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: If anybody ever breaks into my office, they're going to think, well, 36 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: this guy has a weird fetish going on here. 37 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: Leopard. 38 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, way too much leopard for a grown man. Anyway, 39 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: that was a lot of fun. I know last night 40 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: at ten o'clock we were at nine hundred and forty 41 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars, which was just a tremendous and I 42 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: imagine we're going to pass a million dollars because you 43 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: can still donate money until Sunday, Sunday, December eighth, and 44 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: if we get word this afternoon about how far along 45 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: we are, we'll pass it along.

So thank you again. 55 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: So the biggest news this morning, it's kind of shocking. 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: I just saw this video. I didn't know well. Eric 57 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: Scarr explained to me that it used to be in 58 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: the old days, no murders would be broadcast on social media, 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: and then Elon took over a Twitter and anything goes, 60 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: but you can get there's now a video online, widely, 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: widely spread that shows you this CEO Brian Thompson of 62 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: United Healthcare. He was walking alongside the New York Hilton 63 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: Midtown on Avenue of the America is near fifty fourth Street, 64 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: and this is a major avenue and big business district, 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: and he was going to go into the New York 66 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: Hilton because they were having an investors conference. It's the 67 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: United Healthcare's annual investor Conference and he's going to be 68 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: speaking as the CEO. So he's walking down the street 69 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: and you can see him wearing a blue jacket and 70 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm just going to start the video in front of 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: me here. Obviously I've got no sound to play for you, 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: but he's walking and here coming from behind a car 73 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: like they had a string of black uber type cars, 74 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: you know, the black cars, the limousine style or SUVs. 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: So a guy in a hoodie of course, and a backpack. 76 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: He jumps out from behind one of the SUVs and 77 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: just he's got his long handgun and he shoots Brian 78 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: Thompson in the back and Thompson stumbles forward and then 79 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: turns around. He falls to the ground and mister Hoodie 80 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: walks up and shoots him some more and left him 81 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: for dead on the sidewalk. Now he crosses the street, 82 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: runs across the street and that's the last you could 83 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: see him on this security footage. He was seen in 84 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: Central Park later, but as of the moment, they haven't 85 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: caught him yet. And it's just really frightening. There is 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 1: a woman, I think it's a woman, who is leaning 87 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: up against the wall in front of a business and 88 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: she had a cup of coffee. And as the shooter 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: jumped out and started firing bullets at Brian Thompson, she 90 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: runs as fast as she could out of the picture, 91 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: but she holds on to her coffee. 92 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: And we all need our caffeine fixes. 93 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: No, I see sometimes how protective people are of their coffee. 94 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: That's what I mean. 95 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: People walk around all morning clutching their coffee cups for 96 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: dear life. And I'm thinking, boy, that must be good coffee, 97 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: because I would have dropped the thing and ran. 98 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 4: Well, it's like when someone's in the stands and they 99 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: don't drop their beer when they catch the flat ball. 100 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: That's right, it's like, let me stop this thing and 101 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 1: keeps you reclaying the shooting over and over again. So 102 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: Thompson was shot several times. The gun jammed three times, 103 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: and this gunman cleared the jam each time and resumed firing. 104 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: And and like I said, last scene in Central Park, 105 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: Now what the police almost immediately said this was a 106 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: targeted attack. Here's a short clip from the New York 107 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: City Police Detective Chief Joseph Kenney. 108 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 5: The motive for this murder currently is unknown, but based 109 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 5: on the evidence we have so far, it does appear 110 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 5: that the victim was specifically targeted. But at this point 111 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 5: we do not know why. This does not appear to 112 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 5: be a random act of violence. 113 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean the posture of the gunman. He looks like 114 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: a professional assassin. I don't know if he his or not. 115 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if he got trained, but he did 116 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: the job, and he was so calm throughout the entire 117 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: the entire incident. After he did the shooting, cleared the 118 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: gun when it jammed, he to see him banging on 119 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: the gun there. Then he's walking slowly. He was not 120 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: in a hurry to get out of there up until 121 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: he crosses the street between two parked cars, and then eventually, 122 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: when he's halfway across the street, he starts to run, 123 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: then makes a left turn down the sidewalk, eventually headed 124 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: for Central Park. Now, his wife was called by NBC News. 125 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: She said something odd. His wife is Paul Atte Thompson. 126 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: They live in Minnesota. They've got a couple of kids. 127 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: Paul Atte Thompson, the wife said that her husband Ryan 128 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: had been receiving threats. She said this in a phone 129 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: call to NBC. There had been some threats. Basically, I 130 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: don't know a lack of coverage what somebody had their 131 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: coverage denied or their claim didn't go through Because it's 132 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: an health insurance company. I don't know the details. I 133 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: just know that there were some people that had been 134 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: threatening him. Isn't that weird thing to say a lack 135 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: of coverage. I don't think anybody gets that upset at 136 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: the insurance companies that they want to take out the CEO, 137 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: but or hire a hit man. I really looked like 138 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: it was a hired hit. Now, sometimes when you have 139 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: these murders of relatively high profile people, I always my 140 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: first reaction is, Okay, what kind of funny business is 141 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: going on in his life? Because these kind of things 142 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: rarely happen. I know everybody walks around terrified, but even 143 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: with all the burglaries in Los Angeles and thefts, they 144 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: just want to get the stuff and they want to 145 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: run out. There's very few people actually shot. Unless you 146 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: get a full blown mental patient, homeless person right or 147 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: somebody whacked out on meth, then occasionally could happen. But 148 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: if it's just another day of business for the thief, 149 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: they're not going to kill you. I mean, there's no 150 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: upside to committing murder if all you want is jewels 151 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: or cash or something something else of value. But this 152 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: came up in the Daily Mail. Last year, the Department 153 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: of Justice launched an investigation into whether Thompson's company was 154 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: unfairly restricting competitors and running a monopoly. He ran like 155 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: the insurance RAN's company connected to United Healthcare. I don't 156 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: know exactly what that corporate relationship is, but he was 157 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: accused in a lawsuit of failing to tell investors about 158 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: this federal investigation, and in that meantime he unloaded over well, 159 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: Thompson and other executives unloaded over thirty one percent of 160 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: his stock. Okay, so he got rid of thirty one 161 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: percent of his stock in his own company after he 162 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: learned about the federal investigation, but he didn't tell other investors. 163 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: So this is classic insider training, insider trading. And he 164 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: took in fifteen million dollars for the sale of the stock. 165 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: In fact, according to investigators, Thompson and other company executives 166 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: sold over one hundred and seventeen million dollars worth of 167 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: United health stock during the four month period where insiders 168 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: knew about the investigation, but the public did not. It 169 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: was a federal anti trust investigation, and there was a 170 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: shareholder suit against the company and Thompson whether that had 171 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: anything to do with this, But it's like, well, when 172 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: I read the first story about the shooting, it's like, Okay, 173 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: what's going on in his life?

I mean his identity is largely 191 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: hidden by the hoodie, although I think there were other 192 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: shots still shots where you could see his nose and eyes. 193 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: I heard, all right, we've got more coming up. 194 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 195 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 6: six forty. 196 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: You know, Elon Moschkin the vik Ramaswami are planning to 197 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: cut about two trillion dollars annually out of the government, 198 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: and they'd have to fire a lot of government workers. 199 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: I hear the first ones that are going to be fired, 200 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: from what I've read, is people who don't want to 201 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: show up for work. 202 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 2: No, really, what's wrong with that? 203 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: We've told you seventy five percent of government office buildings 204 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Are empty because nobody comes to 205 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: work anymore. And so Musk and Ramaswami have a plan 206 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: to say you must show up or you're gone, and 207 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: they estimate that twenty five percent of the workforce may 208 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: decide just to quit. And because they don't want to 209 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: show up after four and a half years, they've bought 210 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: homes way out in the Virginia or Maryland suburbs. They 211 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: don't want to deal with the traffic anymore, and they 212 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: don't want to deal with office culture, which I do 213 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: sympathize with. Yes, because I could spend five minutes working 214 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: in a traditional office, I have to be by myself 215 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: in a room. 216 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all happy. 217 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: I pretend to talk to people and you should be 218 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: in your own. 219 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: Room too, And I am all by myself. 220 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: So we have a perfect setup here. We could watch 221 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: each other on a screen. And I think this is 222 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: in mental health facilities. They have setups like this, Yeah, 223 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: where people have their own rooms and then whoever's managing 224 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: the flour can watch the patients on the screens. So 225 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: this is very similar to a mental health clinic. But 226 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: I think I have I have thirty two, maybe thirty 227 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: three candidates for Musk and Ramaswami to eliminate from the workforce. 228 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: This story is from Breitbart, and this seems to be true. 229 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: Several Veterans officials have resigned and there is a big 230 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: investigation going on because one of the officials a biomedical 231 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: employee at the Veterans Affairs Complex in Mountain Hope, Mountain Home, Tennessee. 232 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: This biomedical employee was having sex with thirty two different 233 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: co workers. 234 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: Wow, I'm Parney. 235 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: It must be very good. A lot of good recommendations there, 236 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: I think, right, yeah, I'm I guess all the women said, yeah, 237 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: go take a crack at them. Oh yeah, that's that's 238 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: not bad.

They bragged 247 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: about their sexual activities on an online group forum, so 248 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: they they like, I guess, they discussed the intimate details 249 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: of how of how they performed they want to share, 250 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,479 Speaker 1: and also on a government communications portal that VIA officials 251 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: use to communicate about business. 252 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: Operator's stupid? 253 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: Can you mean I mentioned being on that channel that 254 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: group text?

It says 266 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: it's unclear whether the orgy happened on government property at 267 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: the VA facility or off site. I guess if it's 268 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: off site, and yeah, yeah, but it is still something 269 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: else that everybody would find each other so attractive. 270 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: They're bored, right, I mean, what else? 271 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: So this is why these people were coming to work?

I nearly hit a guy. He jumped down 287 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: to the street and he was holding a whiskey bottle, 288 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: right by the neck of a bottle, and he had 289 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: no shirt on. And there were some women there, yeah, 290 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, and there were There were three people who 291 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: died in that tent city.

And then there was a third 298 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: killing as well. I don't think it was a murder, 299 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: but it might have been an overdose or something. So 300 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: it looks like there's a congressional committee.

I haven't watched a good sex 338 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 3: show in a while. 339 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: That's all I was doing. Okay, you could use it. 340 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI Am 341 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 6: sixty ron. 342 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: From one until four and then after four o'clock John 343 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: cobelt Show on demand also on the iHeart app. That's 344 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: the podcast same as the radio show. You could pick 345 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: up on what you missed. In fact, if you missed 346 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: our pastathon yesterday, that whole show is on yesterday's podcast, 347 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: so you could go through that and enjoy it. Next segment, 348 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to play my favorite clip from yesterday's show, 349 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: maybe maybe two favorite clips, and that'll that'll be in 350 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes. I lied. Last we discussed this sexual 351 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: scandal at the VA at Mountain Home, Tennessee, where thirty 352 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: two government employees at the VA we're having sex with 353 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: one another. 354 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: It didn't happen. 355 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: No, no, what happened. It happened, and it was one 356 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: official who had at least thirty two women. And then 357 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: there was also a story about a dozen government workers 358 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: showing up at an orgy, but they don't know if 359 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: it was in the office or off site. And I said, well, 360 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: that's all the sexual stuff. 361 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 2: I have, right, Oh, you have more sexual. 362 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: Style, Yeah, a government sexual story. I forgot about Pete Heggsath. 363 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 2: Oh, yes, Pete Heigsath. 364 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: I mean I you probably know if you follow this. 365 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: He's up to be Trump's Secretary of Defense, and now 366 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: his nomination is in a lot of trouble. There's a 367 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: lot of Republican senators who want to vote for him, 368 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: and Trump may ask Ron de Santis. They're already beating. 369 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: So this has been one of the big political stories 370 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: of the day. But the reason that Hegseth is is 371 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: his nomination is really shaky. Is the New Yorker magazine 372 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: came out with a lengthy investigative piece on what Pete 373 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: Hegseth does at night. And you know, a week or 374 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: so ago, there was a story about him up in 375 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: Monterey and he was out with a few women in 376 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: some Republican women's conference, I tell you the Republican women, 377 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: let me tell you that they're going Apparently they were 378 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: all going nuts on Pete Hegseth. I mean he is 379 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: considered just stunning. Look he's good looking, better than Gavin Newsom. 380 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 2: They're both equal, I would say, you think both are equal? 381 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: All right? 382 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 2: I just you asked me a question. 383 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: Do women have one the one ten scale that we 384 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: men do? 385 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 5: Oh? 386 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: I'm sure, yeah, Well but I'm sure have you heard it? 387 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 4: Yes? Have you beens or maybe a long time, a 388 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: very long time, but you would hand out sevens and 389 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 4: eighths and threes force. 390 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 2: I don't recall, I really don't. 391 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: I don't recall. 392 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: I don't. 393 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Okay, it's a long time. Every guilty witness says, I 394 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: don't recall. Hey, so there was that story in Monterey, 395 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: and that has turned into like he said, she said 396 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: thing because she was cheating on her husband that night, 397 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: spent the night with heg Seth, and she claimed that 398 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: he was forcing himself. All right, that one's too. I 399 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: didn't think that that story by itself would sink him 400 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: because it was just too murky. And when a woman 401 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 1: is with a guy while the husband and kids are 402 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: in another room. I'm gonna be a little judgmental here 403 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: and say that it wasn't just heg Seth. However, he's 404 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: got a long history of being an alcoholic and all 405 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: kinds of sexual improprieties. I mean, I couldn't believe this stuff. 406 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: He used to that Now he was a very well 407 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: respected military man, and he has been a Fox News 408 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: host for a number of year. I've seen him occasionally, 409 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: but I think mostly he does a weekend morning show. 410 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: And I don't watch cable TV news very much. I'll 411 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: listen to a little bit of it in the car, 412 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: but I don't watch these shows, and I certainly don't 413 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: watch morning television because I can't. So heg Seth all right, 414 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: Fox News. We know Trump watches Fox News obsessively. He 415 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: sees heg Seth, good looking guy, really strong military record, 416 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: and he's got some very provocative ideas on the military, 417 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: on how the military should be run. He wants woke 418 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: this out of the military, which it should be. Out 419 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: of the military. You just want the military guys to 420 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: kill people, right, that's the whole purpose. But Hegseth has 421 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: had other organizations that he's worked for a couple of 422 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: I guess you'd call them nonprofits and boys. He had 423 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: a good time. I mean he puts that va orgy 424 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: crowd to shame. Oh really, Oh yeah, uh well accumulatively probably. Yeah. 425 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: He was president of something called Concerned Veterans for America 426 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: for three years, and I guess this was a lobbying 427 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: style group pushing veterans issues. Well. He was described as 428 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,239 Speaker 1: being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity, to 429 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: the point of having to be carried out of their 430 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: events because he was so blasted. 431 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 2: That's not good. 432 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: At one point, Hexseth had to be restrained while drunk 433 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: from joint. Well. They had gone to a strip club 434 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: in Louisiana. You imagine a bunch of guys strip club 435 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: in Louisiana. I'm assuming it's a no wives trip, and 436 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: he was so drunk they had to restrain him from 437 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: joining the dancers on stage. 438 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 2: And a lot of guys are like that. 439 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: He'd brought his team with him and hec's Hexseth was 440 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: married at the time. Other members of the management team 441 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: sexually pursued the female staffers. They divided the women into 442 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 1: two groups, the party girls and the not party girls. 443 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 3: Do you guys do that when you talk to your friends, 444 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 3: do you do you say. 445 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: Are those girls party girls? Or are those girls not? 446 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: Of course, we have a complicated numerical system. I was 447 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: about to say, we have different categories. 448 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 2: She put out, Does she. 449 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: You do make that judgment? Yes, you try to pick 450 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: up clues. No, I can't say that editing yourself. You 451 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: should see what goes on at among dad's at school. 452 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. There's also let me see 453 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: the while hag Seth was running this organization, it was 454 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: a hostile workplace. There was an allegation made by a 455 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: female employee that another employee working with heg Seth had 456 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: tried to sexually assault her at that same Louisiana strip club. Look, 457 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: nobody should be sexually assaulted. I wouldn't if I was 458 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: a woman, I would not go out with a bunch 459 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: of guys to a strip club. Acciently, that is just apparently. 460 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: Heg Seth also was with a group at a bar 461 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: in Ohio at some other event, and they drunkenly started chanting, 462 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 1: kill all Muslims, Kill all Muslims. I'm not making this 463 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: stuff up. Let me see here. That was just the 464 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: first page of the story. Actually, this is extremely long story. 465 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: I couldn't possibly tell you all all the carousing that 466 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: this guy did. When he was finally removed as the 467 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: head of Concerned Veterans for America, there was an email 468 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: sent out by a whistleblower who said among the staff, 469 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,479 Speaker 1: the disgust for Pete was pretty high. Most veterans do 470 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: not think he represents them nor their high standard of excellence. 471 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: He's got a history of alcohol abuse and treated the organization, 472 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: the funds in the organization like they were a personal 473 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: expense account for partying, drinking, and using the events as 474 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: little more than opportunities to hook up with women on 475 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: the road. 476 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 3: Okay, I doesn't Trump have somebody to vet these people 477 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 3: before him. 478 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: Well, that's a funny story, because they do. 479 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 3: Then why would they ever think I mean, it's the 480 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 3: same kind of thing with Matt Gates. 481 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they did background checking. They just had 482 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: from what I read, Xseeth came in a room and 483 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: they said, all right. 484 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 2: Oh, he's a good looking guy, we want him. 485 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: Well, that's Trump's criteria. I know people who look and 486 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: speak well on Fox News right at the top of 487 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: the list to get a cabinet position. So there's a 488 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: question though, that they always ask at the end of 489 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: these interviews, is there anything else we should know? 490 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you I'm involved in. 491 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I'm involved in the Orgies and the strip 492 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: club dancing. Well, apparently, heg Seth said, no, nothing I 493 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: can think of. 494 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 2: And they don't dig. 495 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: No gay, Clearly they don't dig. 496 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 2: That doesn't make any sense, And. 497 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,719 Speaker 1: So you wait until the New Yorker uh comes up 498 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: with this.
