Speaker 1: play it for your friends because it was just too

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: spectacular and they got to hear this, right, that could

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: happen today. No, all right, we have a lot to

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: get to. We do have money. We do still have

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: the thousand dollars the KFI inflation compensation contest coming up

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: around one twenty with a keyword to be revealed, standby

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: for that. When I heard this morning that there was

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: another mass shooting, well I wasn't shocked. This is the

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: way life is. However, a bank in Louisville, Kentucky, and

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, are we back to the days of

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: the good old fashioned bank robber who goes in there

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: with the gun and gets confronted and there's a shootout.

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: It well, no within the hour, It took a while

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: for it to begin to form, but it is a

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: bank employee. They had a grudge against his co workers

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: and open fire. They're now identifying this person as Connor Sturgeon,

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. We're gonna go to Jim Ryan,

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: ABC News for KFI with more of the detail on

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: what took place this morning in Kentucky. Yes, this Sturgeon

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: person you're talking about there, apparently he's twenty three instead

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: of twenty five, but was either a current or a

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: former employee of that bank, walked in at about well

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: a little before nine o'clock opened fire on these people.

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: They're using an assault style rifle. Police were there within

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: just like three minutes. We're told they rushed into the building.

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: One of the officers was hit, was shot critically wounded.

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: He had just joined the force within the last few months.

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: He is still being treated. One other police officer was hurt,

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: was not critically injured, and one other person in civilian

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: also was critically hurt. So you know, all there were

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: nine people taken to the hospital. Three have been released

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: and now six are still there. Was there a security

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: guard in the bank of any kind, artist say, And

44
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: it's not really clear as to whether this is like

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: a bank branch like you like you're familiar with. There's

46
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: maybe more of a corporate or an administrative office for

47
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: this bank. But they were all in a conference room,

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: so they weren't out by the if if it is

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: that sort of a bank, they weren't out where customers

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: would have been. They were kind of back in in

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: a rear area. And it said that he entered the

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: conference room with the gun or he had it in

53
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: there and just began opening fire with Do we know

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: that yet? Apparently yeah, either walked in with the gun

55
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: or was in this meeting, this conference was just going on.

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, it was a rifle he was carrying,

57
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: so been hard to conceal something like that. It isn't sure.

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: It isn't clear how how this man got this rifle.

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: AT's under investigation, and the police chief has not said

60
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: that whether this man was under the radar of the police.

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Didn't look to look as though he had prior engagement

62
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: with current your former employee. I've seen both. I've seen

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: both as well, and I'm trying to straighten that out

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: as to whether he's still worked there or hadn't. His

65
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: linked in profile seems to indicate that he was still

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: working there. Yeah, that's what I'm reading, that he was

67
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: still a bank employee there, But maybe that'll change later.

68
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: And they're not sure whether or not he killed himself

69
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: or they killed him. No, not yet. That'll be part

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: of the ballistics and the forensics investigation that goes on

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: that it's going to take some time. I suspect that

72
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: there'll be yellow tape around that building for quite a

73
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: long time. And there was apparently a moment this morning

74
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: where the Louisville governor, I'm sorry, the Kentucky governor, spoke

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: about knowing some of the deceased. Was that true? Well,

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: knowing one both both the mayor Craig Greenberg and the

77
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: governor Andy Butcher knew the same man, Tommy Elliott, who yeah,

78
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: apparently was a friend to both of them, an adviser

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: to the governor, may have been a fundraiser of some kind.

80
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: He said that the governor said he helped him to

81
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: get into office. So, yeah, so they touch us on

82
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: these people very directly and very personally. All right, Jim,

83
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: thank you very much for that report. We appreciate it.

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: Thank you, Jim Ryan, ABC News for KFI on the

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: Louisville bank shooting that took place this morning. And the

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: gunman is dead again, not clear whether or not he

87
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: killed himself or they killed him in a shootout. Yeah,

88
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: they've identified four of the victims, Joshua Barrack, Thomas Elliott,

89
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Juliana Farmer, and James Tutt. One report says it was

90
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: overheard on police scanners that Sturgeon was suicidal and had

91
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: texted a friend that he would shoot up the bank. Yeah,

92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: we're looking for next is what social media and texts,

93
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: because it's a lot of these shooters who are doing now.

94
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: The Nashville shooters sent a text to someone right before

95
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: she went to the school to kill those live stream

96
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: the shooting on Instagram. No, police have confirmed that. No,

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: his father was a very well known basketball coach at

98
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: the University of Indianapolis for fifteen years and took them

99
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: to the NCAA tournament five times. And his son played

100
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: basketball at the high school where its father was the coach.

101
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, I also had other positions. Yeah, The father

102
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: quit from the high school in twenty twenty two, saying

103
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: he wanted to spend more time with Connor and another son.

104
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: I guess he was a little late for that. Yeah,

105
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: there's no indication yet exactly what his anger was towards

106
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: his co workers. He had a profile. He praised the

107
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: bank's leadership program, writing he can't recommend this program enough. Obviously,

108
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: at twenty three, he could not have worked there very

109
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: long unless he went there right out of high school

110
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: rather than college. The opportunity to work with great folks

111
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: in several is to see where I fit was immensely beneficial.

112
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: He wrote. He previously worked at the bank for three

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: consecutive summers while he was in college, and he did

114
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: go to the University of Alabama, so he could not

115
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: have worked there full time very long, maybe a year

116
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: or so. Apparently he didn't mean what he wrote. No.

117
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: He took part in something called the Focus Louisville program,

118
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: saying it was an eye opening experience about many of

119
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: the issues around Louisville and the people who were working

120
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: to solve them, and everything was positive cover I'm grateful

121
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: for the opportunity to learn and from meeting or did

122
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: something just happen that really set him off. They always

123
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: say that it's got to be a long running mental

124
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: disturbance he had, Yeah, depressed and angry. I don't think

125
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: I've seen one of these shootings where a guy really

126
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: had a perfectly normal life and a perfectly normal inner

127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: life and then Jess woke up and decided to blow

128
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: because yeah, there's always stuff we don't know, family doesn't know,

129
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: and he can't get on. Social media unveils things that

130
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: have been going on in this person's life. But god,

131
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, I really am getting bored by this, Like

132
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: I've no interest anymore in reading about the background of

133
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: these guys. When it was new, I used to delve in.

134
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: I was looking for patterns and wanting to find out

135
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: what the central trauma was and what were the symptoms

136
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: and who knew what. And now it's like, uh, you

137
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: know this, this is like getting reports of casualties in

138
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: Ukraine every day, right, first few weeks of a war,

139
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: everybody's on top of it, and then after a while

140
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: it's just back that is human nature. Something eventually becomes wallpaper, Yeah,

141
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: because there's there's becomes white, Noise becomes background. Uh, you

142
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: know when I heard it a study and I have

143
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: to see if I can find it. I heard about

144
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: a study that kind of confirms that maybe we shouldn't

145
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: be doing this in terms of covering shootings because the

146
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: attention and it's always on the shooter. There isn't much

147
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: to say about the victims because they just caught in

148
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: the crossfire. And I hate to say it, they probably

149
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: have ordinary lives and it's very sad, but you know,

150
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: and using when people do talk about the victims, they

151
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: talk about their lives and how their family loved them,

152
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: but then the attention goes right over to the shooter.

153
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Why did they do this? Who are they? Why would

154
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: somebody do something like this? What was going on in

155
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: their lives that they had to kill people. I don't

156
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: think it's a coincidence that these things exploded after the

157
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: era of cable news and internet. It's occult in terms

158
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: of the coverage, in terms of the continuous coverage. Yes,

159
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: we've yet to find somebody though that posted, oh I

160
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: want to beat Well, maybe it was been some I

161
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: want to be just like so and so I'm going

162
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: to go out in a blaze of glory. And although

163
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: people say you're going to see me on the news.

164
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: I have seen that one pop. Yeah no, but I

165
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: think it's a driving force that now you'll know what

166
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: pain I was in. Now I'll get my revenge. The

167
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: world will understand that that's inside every one of these people. Now.

168
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: It had that had to That had to be one

169
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: of the differences because guns have been around forever, crazy

170
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: people have been around forever, disgruntled employees, all of that. Right,

171
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: that's there's nothing new in human nature. But now if

172
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: you do this, you'll get a week's worth of coverage. Right,

173
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: And that wasn't true when I was but you'll be.

174
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: Half of them are dead now, so they're not exactly

175
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: going to be able to follow it like this one.

176
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know. They think I don't care what

177
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: the afterlife is, but I like the fact that people

178
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: will be reading about me that I did this. Yeah. No,

179
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: you go down in history. That's what you want. You

180
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: don't have to be there to enjoy it. You'll you'll

181
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: know that as as you leave, they'll be talking about

182
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: you forever. Yeah, and to any more science. The point,

183
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the headline everywhere this afternoon of websites, and

184
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the headline is everything we know about the Louisville Banks

185
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: shoot or Connor Sturgeon, and do we really need to

186
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: know everything besides this was evil or mental illness or both. No,

187
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, but you're right, that was the original motive.

188
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: And there's that word that people want to want to

189
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: find out how anybody could do this and how can

190
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: we prevent this from happening in the future. Apparently we can't.

191
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, well not with so many hundreds of millions

192
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: of people in the country and some many hundred millions

193
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: of guns. Yeah, I actually confiscating nearly all the guns.

194
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: There's no there's no answer to this. There's no solution,

195
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: there's no nothing. So everybody, what if this starts happening

196
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: ten times a day? I don't know. I don't know

197
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: if there's a theoretical limit for people's psyche to handle,

198
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: or if they would just start tuning it out and

199
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: it would just be like war numbers. Now, all right,

200
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: we got more to come first. Thing we'll do when

201
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: we come back. Look at all the crap we put

202
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: up here in LA and San Francisco terms of crime

203
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: and homeless and insanity. Right, Yeah, it's ten times what

204
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: it was five years ago. And there doesn't seem to

205
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: be any amount of dysfunction that gets people angry enough

206
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: to do something. Yeah, and there's the divide because there's

207
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: the word I use as normalized and normalized homelessness and

208
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: to some extent the crime, and the other side as well. No,

209
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: you've normalized mass shootings. Do something and we're like, well,

210
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: you'll do something about homeless and cry. Yeah, well, if

211
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: normally everything's been normalized. Now it's it's end of days.

212
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: A keyword is coming up for your chance to win

213
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: some money. There's a little bright spot. Johnny Ken kf

214
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: I AM six forty We're live everywhere the iHeart Radio apps.

215
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from kf

216
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: I AM six forty oh. Coming up after one thirty.

217
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: We got a moistline call on Friday. Boy. Sometimes once

218
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: every ten years, a moistline call leads to something we're

219
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: gonna follow up on. Right, I would say, maybe, well,

220
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: wasn't a news tip. Let's just say jogged a news memory.

221
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: Mark Redley Thomas is now a convicted felon. What do

222
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: we do about all the things named after him? We'll

223
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: talk about what they are. The La Times did do

224
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: a story back in twenty twenty one after he got indicted,

225
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: and we will get into the details of what has

226
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: to be changed. Stuff too exciting, But there are quite

227
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: a few seas and bridges this ego back should not

228
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: have a single thing named after him, unless it's his

229
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: jail cell. It's quandary. Remember a lot of tributes after

230
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: he was found guilty. People felt this is just horrible.

231
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, they've taken away an incredible voice for the people.

232
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: There were there were tributes when the other two guys

233
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: got convicted. Exactly what is that? What is this Mark

234
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas cult? Like the world could not have survived

235
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: without him? You know that when you said this a

236
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, his personality was so strong and

237
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: commanding that people just boo backed off and bowed My leader,

238
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: My leader? Did I? I said, James Earl Jones. He

239
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: sounds like the voice of him. Yeah. Did I tell

240
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: you about this article I read? And I should read

241
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: the whole thing someday on the air, But I'll just

242
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: give you a little snippet because it really summed up

243
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: the way I have thought the world works, and this

244
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: guy put it like a real fine point on it.

245
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: He's he's a he's a law professor and a political writer.

246
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: And he wrote that eighty percent of humanity are followers cattle,

247
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: all right. There are fifteen percent that are leaders, and

248
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: most of them are sociopaths, no conscience at least five

249
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: percent five percent are people like you and me, libertarian

250
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: types who don't want to lead although we could, don't

251
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: want to follow although we could. We just want to

252
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: be left alone. And he said, I liked that, but

253
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: I thought there was more of us than that. No,

254
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: he thinks there's only five percent, and he goes, and

255
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: our little group is never going to lead because there's

256
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: simply not enough of us, nor do we particularly care

257
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: enough to lead. But the sociopaths want to lead. They

258
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: want to be in charge, right, Yeah, And a lot

259
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: of them are stupid, but they've got that certain drive.

260
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: So that's why you have so many bosses in life,

261
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: or just flat out stupid. You want to how do

262
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: they become a boss? There's sound stupid, Well, because intelligence

263
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with it. It's that they wanted

264
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: to be there, whereas eighty percent they don't want to

265
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: be anything. They just want to follow, and they rarely,

266
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: rarely want to overthrow a leader. But if they do,

267
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: it's only to replace with another leader. But they need

268
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: a psychopath, yeah, another psychopath. Right, But they have to

269
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: have a leader. They have to have someone to look

270
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: up to, right, Yeah, you know, way a lot of

271
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: the stories are written too about a political leadership. Right.

272
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: They're de guiding us through a crisis. You know. It's

273
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: the people who show up at your company meeting and

274
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: they're always applauding all the inane statements that are made

275
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: and all the raw ras, and you always have, oh,

276
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: look at that platitudes. And I read that the other

277
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: day and I just stopped and I stared there for

278
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: a while, said, this guy's got it. That's it, that's it.

279
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: Eighty fifteen five and I'm stuck in the five. Wow,

280
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: what's this guy's name? You should look this up. I'd

281
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: like to interesting theory. He's what I'll find it during

282
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: the news. His name escaped from me right now, but

283
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: I know where to find him, all right now. I

284
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: like to do this every now and then. This is

285
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: always fun. Uh, this is for John and I guess, Debrah,

286
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: what were we doing at this time on Friday? Oh? Silence,

287
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: the silence. I know what you were doing the show. Yeah,

288
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: we were talking about on the radio show a lot

289
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: of the first hour and a half. The police chase.

290

Speaker 1: up in Carson. Did I help you now? Right? And

293
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: the guy picked up a second car along the way.

294
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: That's correct, But we didn't know if he missed one detail.

295
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: And I guess it really wasn't known until now here

296
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: comes the story. She knows what it is. I know

297
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, And you didn't say this on Friday. No,

298
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know until the weekend. All right. This is

00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: can see this little puppy is doing just fine, and

308
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: so we were just wanted to be able to go

309
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: and let your viewers know that all is well. It's

310
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: slowing down again, sky Fowks was overhead. Is the wanted

311
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: car slowed down your fifty six and Figaroa streets where

312
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: the pup was tossed out. LAPD officers quickly rescued him,

313
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: later sharing this photo his head and paw popping out

314
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: of a Michael Cort's handbag. Officers were chasing a twenty

315
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: seven year old man wanted for attempted murder and carjacking.

316
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: The two hour long high speed chase weave throughout La County,

317
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: the sus switching cars at one point truck. It looks

318
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: like some reason the truck is slowing down. Now doors

319
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: are open. There they go one, two, three, Oh, he's

320
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: trying to car jack somebody. No, no, no, no, no no.

321
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: He was actually jumping into a getaway car. The chase

322
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: finally ended in Carson, where the suspect, Gustavo Alvarez, was

323
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: arrested after trying to run from police. Two women were

324
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: also arrested for their involvement in the pursuit. But it's

325
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: not clear who the puppy belonged to, so people should

326
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: not be rushing here to adopt him. Not at this time.

327
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: They can reach out to try to get additional information

328
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: from the shelter, but at this time the puppy is

329
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: on hold, so it's going to be a little bit

330
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, So we want to repeat this dog

331
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: is not adoptable right now. He is going to be

332
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: on that hold throughout an investigation. But there are so

333
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: many other animals that are available for adoption. They are

334
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: looking for their forever homes, and they're in shelters all

335
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: across our area. And this weekend they're offering a reduced

336
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: adoption fees at all La City animal shelters. Who got

337
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: more information on that on our website at fox La

338
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, that's from Fox eleven. Yeah, the

339
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: puppy is so cute his head sticking out of the bag.

340
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: Deber knows what kind of bag it is? Well, again,

341
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: I saw it on the news. It's a Michael Core's handbag. Right,

342
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: so is there something about it that you could throw

343
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: a dog? It's out of a moving car and no,

344
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: it's it was a large it's a large purse. So

345
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: the dog was able to. It wasn't a dog purse though,

346
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: it's just a regular purse. But I guess I guess this.

347
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: We can endorse it as the right purse. Oh, I

348
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: see what you pause if you have to quickly? Oh,

349
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: come on, the dog out of a car you put

350
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: them in? And now did this happened before we picked

351
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: up the chase or did we just miss this? I

352
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: think we missed this. You didn't see a bag rolling

353
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: out so the people running out of the car, Yes,

354
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 1: I did. She wouldn't noticed a bag. I would have noticed,

355
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: and I certainly would have noticed a cute little puppy's

356
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: face hanging out head. We have. Twenty seven year old

357
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: Gustavo Alvarez is the man they arrested attempted murdering car

358
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: jacking that occurred on March twenty six. That's why they

359
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: were chasing him. Two women, Lynette Moreno twenty seven and

360
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: guess who a twenty five year old named Michelle Zamudio

361
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: is the one that picked him up. It was a

362
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: woman who provided the second getaway vehicle. He's got his

363
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: little entourage there and chase. Yeah, a little little group

364
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: of women willing to protect him and help him escape.

365
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: And now they nabbed her too at the end of

366
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: the chase. But good thing the dog. They had to

367
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: keep repeating, you cannot adopt this dog. Ken, Why don't

368
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: you put your name on the list. I don't think

369
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: there is a list. I'm sure there's a huge list

370
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: of people I want the puppy? Was that the one? Amazing?

371
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: I would guess it was one of the women's right,

372
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: Michael Cores. It looks like in a very large woman's bag. Wait,

373
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: a very large bag or a very large woman's bag.

374
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: It's a large hand. Did you see did you see

375
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: the photo John in the story with the dog in

376
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: its No? No, just the way you said it, a

377
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: very large woman. Oh bad? All right, we gotta more

378
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: coming up. Johnny Ken kf I AM six forty. We're

379
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: live everywhere the iHeart Radio app. You're listening to John

380
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: and Ken on demand from kf I AM sixty. I

381
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: found that article. I mean, yeah, that's right. That man

382
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: who says that where the five percent? That's right? Uh,

383
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: well it is us. His name is Glenn Reynolds. His

384
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: column is on instapundit dot, substack dot com, instapundit dot

385
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: and the title is it should be safe to be unpopular,

386
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: and look, you have to read the thing to understand

387
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: where it goes. But he starts off by asking the question,

388
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: is wokeness or religion, which is something that I think

389
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: it is clear that it has become a religion cult

390
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: and yet and he talks about how religion is really

391
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: embedded in the human brain, and even though the traditional

392
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: religions are losing popularity, uh, wokeness is one of the

393
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: new religions. And a little ways down he says religion,

394
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: religion is something that actually binds human being together, whether

395
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: it's an old time version of it or these modern political,

396
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: social issue religions. But he wrote religion wasn't the only

397
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: binding agent for humans. Another was leaders. Based on observation,

398
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: i'd say that about eighty percent of people basically want

399
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: to be led. They might in the extreme rise up

400
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: against a bad enough leader, but probably just in the

401
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: hopes of a better one. About fifteen percent want to

402
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: be leaders of some sort, not necessarily top talk. They

403
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: want to exercise authority over their peers. They're rumaining. Five

404
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: percent more or less don't want to be either followers

405
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: or leaders. In general. They might be either from time

406
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: to time, situationally, but they're not drawn to be one

407
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: or the other. He goes. You can argue about the

408
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: numbers here, but I think they're pretty close, and the

409
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: relative proportions are too. And it's probably genetic that people

410
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: have these desires. And I'll bet that there's not a

411
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: lot of recognition though a lot of people say, oh,

412
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm a five percent. I don't want to leave it,

413
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to follow, and and and the people

414
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: who want to control. Ye, you're saying eighty percent of

415
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: us are in the follow group. Follow group. Yeah, yeah, Now,

416
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: don't deny it. No, nobody wants to be called a

417
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: follower cattle sheep, you know, because it makes you sound

418
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: primitive and dumb. Well, eighty percent don't want to don't

419
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: want to take charge, and they don't want to be

420
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: left alone. You see, that's the thing. They want somebody

421
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: to tell them what to do. They want someone to

422
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: look up to, someone to believe in. They need that leader.

423
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: And you see this in the workplace all the time.

424
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: You see this with with politics all the time. Voters

425
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: will have their little party, their religion, they have their

426
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: political leader. He's like the high priest. And you can't

427
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: tell them bad news about their high priest. They don't

428
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: hear it. Okay, the way a lot of people didn't

429
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: want to hear the bad news about the about the priest.

430
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Molestic little boys in the Catholic Church. They don't want

431
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: to hear it if they made an emotional investment and

432
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: that's their guy. All right. We'll speaking of leaders playing

433
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: the moist line calls on Friday, one of them mixed

434
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: in there said what are we going to do? Well?

435
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: He was lamenting the fact that there is a bridge

436
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: named for Mark Ridley Thomas, and there sure is. It

437
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: stretches over Lasianega Boulevard and links Kenneth Han Park to

438
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: something called the stone View Nature Center. The El Segundo

439
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Times and one of its crack writers, Emily Albert Reyes,

440
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: did a story back in October of twenty twenty one,

441
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: not long after Ridley Thomas was indicted, saying what are

442
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: we going to do about all the sites that bear

443
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: his name? Of course, the article then was what are

444
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: we doing that he faces charges? And the consensus was, well, nothing,

445
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: He's innocent until proven guilty. Who are not even going

446
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: to consider this right now? Why are you even asking

447
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, But but now he's convicted, what do we do.

448
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: We not only have this ridge, we have a wellness center,

449
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: a high school health center, a youth facility, and something

450
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: called a constituent service center is named after markared Lee Thomas.

451
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: And there's the Markeredly Thomas Behavioral Health Center at MLK

452
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: Junior Medical Campus. You know, all the tributes to him

453
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: after he was convicted. They credit him with keeping that

454
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: hospital open. I don't know what he did. I guess

455
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: he moved some money or did something to maneuvered some money.

456
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County had been

457
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: planning to break ground on a new Commons one to

458
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: feature an entrance plaza named for Mark Ridley Thomas. Now, John,

459
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: is that your dream that something will be named after you?

460
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: One day? Maybe that little park you work out in

461
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: every day there on the west side. Oh no, once

462
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm in the ground, I'm done. Yeah. Maybe a vegan

463
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: restaurant named after Deborah Mark that would stay like that? Well,

464
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: she needs the attention. Yeah, So, in trying to follow

465
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: this up, obviously he was only found guilty a couple

466
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, there wasn't really gonna update on this.

467
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure who's ever named these buildings. I'm not sure

468
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: yet what they want to do. Oh, we should start

469
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: a movement to have his name torn down off of everything. Yeah,

470
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean the Mark Ridley Thomas Behavioral ELF Center. Behavioral Really,

471
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: what does that treat? Kleptomania, which is the you know,

472
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: compulsion to steal. Yeah, I don't know why they have

473
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: to name buildings and landmarks. They have to political hacks

474
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: as always have escaped me, because that's part of the deal.

475
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: That's understand. What the legacy? Right? Oh, it's like it's

476
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: like so many people who donate money to hospitals or

477
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: any kind of public building, they want the thing named

478
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: after them. They won't give the money unless it's named

479
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: after them. Oh was that right? That's a stipulation often?

480
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I thought that was just a have said

481
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: they recognize it and say we'll name it after you.

482
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a demand. No, the people with you know

483
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: there there are a lot of ego cases out there now.

484
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a thank you, but the thank you it's strategic.

485
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: It's to entice you to donate more money. Look what

486
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: we did a hundred years from now? People will know

487
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: your name, so please give us more money. We'll name

488
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: something else after you. If you walk through lax and

489
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: the uh the big section there for foreign flights, Now it's,

490
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: of course it's Tom Bradley International Terminal. Yeah, but in

491
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: there is a Tony Volar pavilion because Via Rogrosa was mayor.

492
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: When they started to redo that whole section, they read

493
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: that permanent. Oh yeah it is, yeah, yeah to pavilion.

494
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: Oh man, how we get that rescinded? It's like a

495
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: little entrance way. I think I think I saw it.

496
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: So it's like for crooks and stupid people. Well, is

497
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: that is that the criteria? Here? The story all sub

498
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: mentions that they were going to name a plan park

499
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: in Porter Ranch for family members of Mitch Englander. Oh well,

500
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: the planned Bloom Park was slated to have an Englander pavilion. Yeah.

501
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: Now they're gonna call it the prostitute pavilion. I looked

502
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, but it's Bloom Park because it's named

503
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: for his late mother and sister, Linda and Natalie Bloom.

504
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: But I just put it into the search and all

505
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: it came up with in Port Ranch it just says park.

506
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it ever got a name because they

507
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: weren't sure what to do. But we're gonna be looking

508
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: for these follow up stories as to whether or not

509
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: they're going to appeal to Mark Ridley Thomas name off

510
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: of all of these institutions. His good question. I don't

511
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: know that we should look that up. I've not heard

512
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: of anything but the men's room somewhere. There um some

513
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: homeless center, some park that's full of homeless, something where

514
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 1: there's a bad odor coming from it. And Mike Bonnen too,

515
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: he should have things, because that's what I'll remember about

516
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Eric Garcetti is it's a bad odor that hung over

517
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: Los Angeles while he was here, from all the from

518
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: all the vagrants. You know what. This article also had

519
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of extra entertainment because it was written

520
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: at the time in October twenty twenty one, when the

521
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: charges were fresh. Yeah. It quotes his attorney saying that

522
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas was shocked by the allegations. They are wrong

523
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: and we can look forward to disproving them. Michael J.

524
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: Proctor said in a statement the old day in court right,

525
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: at no point in his career has he abused his

526
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: position for personal gain. Oh well, we're going to allow

527
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: due process to take its course. Well, I guess it did.

528
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: What else was he supposed to say that? Then? Right,

529
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: we will prove it. We will disprove them. All Right,

530
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: we got more coming up. John again, Camp, I am

531
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: six forty. We're live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. You're

532
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI a

533
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: John and Ken Show KFI. Yeah, Hey, coming up. One

534
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: of the big stories last week was the expulsion from

535
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee State Legislature legislature of two state representatives who

536
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: were involved in a gun control protest. These two state

537
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: representatives were three who were charged with this offense. They

538
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: basically let protesters into the balcony of the state House

539
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: and kind of took over the place for the better

540
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: part of an hour. So the largely Republican state legislature

541
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: decided to take up the case against expelling them, and

542
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: the word came down late last week that two out

543
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: of three were expelled. They were two young black men.

544
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: While the twist and the story is on its way,

545
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: the city Council in Nashville, Tennessee, is probably going to

546
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: reinstate one of them, because that's what they're allowed to

547
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: do under the ejection rules. They get to pick a replacement,

548
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: and they're gonna send Justin Jones probably all right back

549
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: to the state legislature. We'll talk about it after two

550
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: o'clock with Justin Finch, ABC News for KFI. The other guy,

551
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: probably the same thing. I think it's a Shelby County

552
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: commission is going to vote later this week on who's

553
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: going to replace that legislator. They're likely to send him

554
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: back to This could go on forever, person, right, this

555
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: could ping pong. You think they're they're going to vote

556
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: to reject them again, to adject them, Won't that be funny?

557
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: I think we can ask that as soon as they

558
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: show up, it's like, now you're out of here again.

559
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: Let's all the vote. Well, they have to, they have

560
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: to hold the vote, and it's has to be two thirds, right, right, yeah,

561
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: right now. The woman that held on as a white

562
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: woman who actually indicated that this could have been racial

563
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: is why she survived the vote. Oh, I'm sure that

564
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: she was the same group with the other two there,

565
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: but she had I think, uh seven less votes than

566
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: one of the Yeah, she survived by one vote, one

567
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: vote where there were seven guys who said, well, we'll

568
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: spare the white woman. That's literally what they said on

569
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: the house floor. I can read minds. Humans aren't complicated.

570
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: Of course, one of the big problems the United States,

571
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: and we were just talking about this last week regards

572
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: the homeless problem is Fentyl. You probably know by now

573
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: the skid Row Housing Trust, which operates twenty nine buildings

574
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: in downtown LA, which is supposed to be considered permanent

575
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: supportive housing for the homeless, is going bankrupt. And one

576
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: of the problems is the places are getting demolished, the

577
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: apartments by high homeless people, drug dealers, other criminals roaming abouts.

578
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: And I think one of the big factors that has

579
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: made that problem worse in the last number of years

580
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: is fentanyl is really doing a lot of damage. So

581
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: it's leading to more and more talk about what to do.

582
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: And now we have several Republicans who would like to

583
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: invade Mexico. What do you think of that? Anybody put

584
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: your hands up if you want to invade Mexico. Absolutely

585
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: what we Yeah, we had to be dropping bombs and

586
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: all the Fentonmyl factories, the cartels. We had to drop

587
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: bombs on the cartel on their leadership buildings. They can

588
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: out do our bombs. We can't have a ground war

589
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: with them. They're too well armed, but we can't have

590
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: an air war. And we know where this stuff is

591
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: getting produced. We can, we can track their distributional lines.

592
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: Just start blasting them. Trump, of course, has been talking

593
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: about sending special forces and using some type of cyber

594
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: warfare to target the cartels missiles. Uh. The Congressman Dan

595
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: Crenshaw Texas and Mike Waltz of Florida Republicans introduced to

596
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: bill seeking authorization so the use of military force to

597
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: put us at war with the cartels, not with Mexico,

598
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: but with the cartels. Same thing. The cartels are the

599
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: Mexican government. The Mexican government are the cartels. This is

600
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: all diplomatic. Nicey, nice, This is just diplomatic dancing. Cotton

601
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: of Arkansas said he's opened to sending US troops into

602
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: Mexico to target the drug lords. Yeah, they're tavern without

603
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Mexico's position. I'm sorry, permission. Here here's the comparison in

604
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: this political article. Seventy one thousand Americans died in twenty

605
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: twenty one, mostly from fentonel, far higher than the fifty

606
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: eight thousand killed your in the entire Vietnam War, which

607
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: ran about eight years. Well that's apples and oranges. Eight

608
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: years worth of war equals one year of fentonel. Well

609
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: it's a lot of death and it comes from a

610
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: foreign country. This this, this enemy terrorist group. How do

611
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: you not stop them if you're a responsible government. I mean,

612
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: I really don't understand this. The reason this was kicked

613
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: up a notch is because the President of Mexico, a

614
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: law we call him, said, basically, it's the US rug problem.

615
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: Is the US problem, you know what? So the reason

616
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: that these politicians are getting worked up is because he

617
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: seems to have no interest in doing anything about the

618
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: fetinal distribution from that country. We had twenty years of

619
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: war in Afghanistan, spent about a trillion dollars, when when

620
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: three thousand people died at nine to eleven, and look

621
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: at all the carnage in Iraq, which was really stupid.

622
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't understand how seventy thousand from this crowd that's

623
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: it's poisoning everybody. I don't get it. We're supposed to

624
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: stand there and what's with cyber warfare? What are we

625
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: going to block their email addresses. I meant to treat

626
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: them like terrorists. That's what they are. They're drug terrorists.

627
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: Use missiles to take out drug labs. What what would

628
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: happen if we use some missiles to take out the

629
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: drug labs? What would happen? I don't think the Mexican

630
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: government would respond. What are they as an active war?

631
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: I doubt that. What are they going to do about it?

632
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: What are they going to do about it? Expel our ambassador?

633
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: Oh no, the place, not that anything but that. The

634
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: Mexican president last week asked the Chinese government to do

635
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: something about all the materials being sent to Mexico to

636
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: make the fetnil. See. That's kind of how it works.

637
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: The components, a lot of them come in from China,

638
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: and then there are these drug labs in Mexico where

639
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: they put the drugs together and then push them over

640
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: the border. You know, the people that China didn't kill

641
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: with the COVID virus, they're gonna try to kill with

642
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: the fentanyl. Yeah, yeah, you know, people are evil, right countries,

643
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: country country governments can be evil. M criminal groups can

644
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: be evil. You have to kill evil, and if you

645
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: won't do it, we're gonna come do it. Yeah, that's

646
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say to the Mexican President. I would

647
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 1: like to see Biden wouldn't do this because he's half dead.

648
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: Trump would do this, right. Let's imagine Trump lays down

649
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: the law at the Mexican President says, you know what,

650
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna rain missiles down in your drug labs Friday

651
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: at noon. What do you think the Mexican president does?

652
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: He calls up the drug cartail buddies who are busy

653
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: funneling money to him on the side and say, guys,

654
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: we got to stop. He warns them, we get me. Well, yeah,

655
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: because either stop or you're getting a missile in your head.

656
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: So what do you want? All right? We got more

657
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: coming up, including the strange turnaround a big story from

658
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: last week the two Tennessee State House representatives who were

659
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: expelled from the state legislature. Maybe returning already. Johnny Ken
