Culan Giggins are 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: quite close friends, and Giggins is the head of a 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: nonprofit called Peace Over Violence. And it's all about county 18 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: contracts that were awarded to that organization to run a 19 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: sex harassment hotline for La Metro that got very few 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: calls and it looks like Ghiggins organization lied about the 21 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: number of calls, and it looks like Sheila Cull put 22 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: pressure to make sure Ghiggins got the contract and made 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: sure that all the cash that Ghiggins was due was paid. 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: And we are going to output on Sheriff Alex to 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: be in a wava. It was his sheriff's department that 26 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,279 Speaker 1: led the raid, along with some federal officials as well. 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: And the sheriff though, is recusing himself from this case, 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: so we'll find out exactly what that means. Alex being 29 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: a wave welcome, How are you, oh not too bad? 30 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: Are you guys doing fine? So what is your recusal 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: from this mean? In reality? In reality is that the 32 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: Public Corrupter Unit, when they do any type of public 33 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: corruption investigation that involves elected officials that I have any 34 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: type of relationship with, I'm automatically recused from. And in fact, 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: the entire operation the unit is run by the under 36 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: Sheriff who is appointed, so he has all authority to 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: make all decisions and the unit runs independently. And that's 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: this case has been going on for a few years 39 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: and has dragged down for a long time, specifically because 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: the Board of supervisors and county council have been trying 41 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: to prevent warrants from being served. Did you know what 42 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: was going to happen this morning? Did someone call you 43 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: and say tomorrow morning is the day quel gets rated? Yeah? 44 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: I was. I was alerted that this is going to happen. Yes, 45 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: all right, So recusing yourself doesn't mean you're not aware 46 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: of where the investigation is. They don't give me any 47 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: details at all about it. They did their own thing. 48 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: In fact, I've not even read the investigation. Just told hey, 49 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this today. I'm great, knock yourself out. 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: So all yeah, I mean so, I mean trying to 51 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: explain this to aarance because the impression that's being thrown 52 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: out there is that you steered this whole thing just 53 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: to get back at Kul. No, not at all, And 54 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: this is a false narrative that board has been portioning. 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: First they called the public corrupts the unit a secret police, 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: and we notifed I'm in writing what we were doing. 57 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: And as soon as every single investigation they've initiate has 58 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: been based on a criminal complaint from somebody, a whistle 59 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: blower within the MTA was the one that brought the 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: complaint to our attention and the Public Corruption Unit launched 61 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: the investigation under the supervision of Undershriff Marakami, and it 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: culminated with the search warrants that were executed today. So 63 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: ultimately it's Undershriff Marakami who makes the decision to go 64 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: ahead with raid. Yes, and if they did not have 65 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: the criteria, they would not execute the search warrants who 66 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: were assigned by a judge. But I think it's most 67 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: comical is to see the La Times trying to describ 68 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: the judge involved or one of the investigators who actually 69 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: was not the lead investigator on this. Yeah, they tried 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: to put a connection between the two that they've had 71 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: a relationship and that maybe he influenced the judge to 72 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: sign off on the warrant. This is how dishonest at 73 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: time is like, oh, he had warrant signed it at 74 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: the home of the judge. Oh my god. And of course, 75 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: not realizing that every single judge that accepts u you know, 76 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: search warrant to have a reviewed and signed, they tended 77 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: to do him at home because they don't work twenty 78 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: four seven, right, Often warrants come to them, you know, 79 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: at night and so that's when they that's when they 80 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: get it to sign. There's there's nothing nefarious about that 81 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: at all. Now, now we noticed there were some there 82 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: was some kind of federal involves here. Exactly who was 83 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: there with your sheriff's deputies to service the warrant, the 84 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: actual warrant itself in investigation? I'm not comming, coon, but 85 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you, as a practice, the department always provides 86 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: information to federal agencies that have an interest in these affairs. 87 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. Okay, So, but but I 88 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: mean there could be federal investigations into this material because 89 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: George Gascone isn't interested in an accounty level, right, So 90 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: who are you who are they gathering all this evidence for? 91 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: If it's not Gascon, it's got to be somebody in 92 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: the feral that can prosecute, right, Mister Gastone is pretty 93 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: much opted out of ever investigating publit corruption. Oh is 94 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: that right? You didn't want to member? State constitution gives 95 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: the authority to investigate to the sheriff and gives the 96 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: authority to prosecute to the district attorney unlimited in both instances. 97 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: And so it's kind of like two keys to a 98 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: nuclear missile. You don't want one person to have both keys. 99 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: Well about forty years ago, however, long the DA's had 100 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: their public integrity detail, they gave themselves both keys and 101 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: try to sell that that they're going to investigate public corruption. 102 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: They never were. That's why Mark Reilly Thomas was the FED. 103 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: That's why Englander we'se are DWP baka tanaka. Every single 104 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: one of these county corruption investigations were done federally and 105 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: not by the DA. So what you're saying is that 106 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: there is a criminal case that comes out of this, 107 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: it'll probably the FEDS that will prosecute. Well, obviously whatever 108 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: they come up where they're not going to present it 109 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: to the DA, they're going to go with the Attorney 110 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: General or with the AUSA would be the standard in 111 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: any type of investigation of this magnitude. But most importantly 112 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: what we found out today, and this I can definitely 113 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: comment on, is the astonishing admission of Sheila Cull that 114 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: she was alerted by these Spector General Max Huntsman and 115 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: by county Council that is actually a crime, it's a felony, 116 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: and so she threw county government under the bus. So Obviously, 117 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: we took note of that and we prepared a letter 118 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: and it's been dispatched to the Attorney General, and we 119 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: want an investigation on these potential crimes committed by the 120 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: Inspector General County Council acting in collusion or as a 121 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: conspiracy to harm this public corruption investigations. When they alert 122 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: the subject of the investigation, that gives a person the suspect, 123 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the opportunity to delete or conceal evidence, which impairs Obviously 124 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: the investigation seems so baally, it's hard to believe they 125 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: would do that. It seems so basic a violation it is, 126 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: which is that's why it's so astonishing. And I'm actually 127 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: kind of sad, really, because you'd expect more of public official, 128 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: especially the ones that devoted so much time and energy 129 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: attacking the entire professional law enforcement. You think they know 130 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: how to play by the book. Yeah, and again, this 131 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: Max Huntsman is the Inspector General for the county. He's 132 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: headed the Board of Supervisor's oversight department. He will also 133 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: said another person who told her about the search warrants 134 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: the night before It was a female employed by La 135 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: County Council, but unnamed at this point right, we have 136 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: I think on another interview she mentioned a first name 137 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: or something like that. So I mean that's what the 138 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: investigators for, but that we're putting it all in the 139 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: hands the the Attorney General and they cannock themselves out 140 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: and we'll give them all the material that we have. 141 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: What kind of crimes are being alleged specifically, Well, these 142 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: crimes are the ones that we want the Inspector General 143 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: or the Attorney General to investigate. The one forty eight 144 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: of the Penal Code sections one sixty eight, one eighty two, 145 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: which is conspiracy, and then Government Code sections twenty five 146 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: three h three. Right, there's the ones who kill the warning. 147 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: But what are what are the crimes that that that 148 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: might come out of the Sheila Kiel search warrant Sheila 149 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: Kill search warrant. Uh? Those are corrupt contracting and those 150 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: go along with basically embezzment of public moneys, those kind 151 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: of those type of crimes, right. I saw bribery listed 152 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: as well. Yes, and then if it was committed in 153 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: within a building, well then you get burgery involved in 154 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: those type of crimes. All right, But the funny thing is, 155 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: or the sad thing is that typically and corruption cases, 156 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: it's the cover up the ends up being more damaging 157 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: the actual original crime. Well, this went on for a 158 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: lot of years. I mean, there were a lot of 159 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: contracts that her her friend seventeen twenty least Patricia Higgins, 160 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: got at least eight hundred and sixteen thousand dollars in contracts, 161 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: and there was also a three year contract extension. Yes, 162 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: And the sad thing is I believe when the search 163 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: warrant was first served, County Council put up a massive fight, 164 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: a legal fight that dragged down for several years. And 165 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: so they were literally defying a search warrant while they 166 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: were accusing me of defying a political subpoena. Go figure. 167 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: And we were actually complying with the law the way 168 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: the law was written, and they were actually trying to 169 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: avoid being held accountable and being transparent. All right, Sheriffy 170 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: and AUAVA, thanks for joining us on this story. We 171 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: appreciate it. You got it all right.

Is that the word Trump used, right, searched. 175 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: What do we say here, searched friendly word is searched? Rated? 176 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: Is the harsh word? Anyway? Yeah, John, you're right. What 177 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: they're looking for here are conflicts of interest, bribery, conspiracy, 178 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: and theft of public funds. I like that one. Yeah. Yeah, 179 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: there's a conspiracy between Kuele and her friend Ghiggins to 180 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: send eight hundred thousand dollars plus of tax money to 181 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 1: ghiggins nonprofit to set up this sex abuse hotline, the 182 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: sex harassment hotline that resulted in hardly any calls. In fact, 183 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: it costs maybe several per month, right, yeah, eight thousand 184 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: dollars a call, It costs us. And this was done 185 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: because at Kule greased the system for Giggins. All right, 186 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: we'll give you a little bit more coming up next, 187 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: John and Ken Cafie. No, you just turned our interview 188 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: with the La County Chair of Alex Vieneueva for his 189 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: input on what happened this morning at the home of 190 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: La County Supervisor Sheila Kule. It was a search party, 191 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: and it's all dealing with the contracts that the County 192 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: and Metro, the bus and subway system for La County, 193 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: entered into with a nonprofit run by a woman named 194 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: Patty Ghiggins, a long time, really close friend if Sheilla Kills, 195 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: as you heard, Chilli Kila actually officiated the marriage of 196 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: Patty Higgins. She says, Ghiggins is my best friend in 197 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: the whole world. That's your quote. And Ghiggins runs a 198 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: nonprofit called Peace Over Violence. They got a Metro contract 199 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: to operate a sex harassment hotline that barely got any 200 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: legitimate calls at all. Thinking, by the way, I just 201 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: heard Ghiggins interviewed yes during that time, and her word 202 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: was Sheilla killed nothing to do with this. Metro reached 203 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: out to me and wanted to use my organization to 204 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: run the hot line. That's what happened. Uh, that's her story. 205 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: Well it's just stories. Because Ghiggins got eight hundred thousand dollars, 206 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: and as they said before, the limit on a particular 207 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: contract is five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand and above. 208 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: Then the county supervisors have to vote on it. So 209 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: they broke up the eight hundred thousand into pieces, with 210 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: the largest piece being exactly four hundred and ninety four thousand. Now, 211 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: I think you know that if you transfer ten thousand 212 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: dollars or more out of your bank account. That's a 213 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: red flag to the bank and you have to like 214 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: sign some paperwork because that's what criminals do. Drug runners do. 215 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: They transfer large amounts. So if you get ten thousand dollars, 216 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: that triggers something at the bank. It also triggers it 217 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: if you withdraw nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine 218 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: dollars or nine nine hundred and ninety eight dollars. Like 219 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: smart people are onto those little tricks and scams. It's 220 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: the same thing here. You have a contract for four 221 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: hundred ninety four thousand dollars and the threshold for supervisors 222 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: to vote is five hundred thousand. You know what's going on, 223 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: and it's Sheila Kule's best friend in the whole world, 224 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: and it's a complete nonsense contract. It's for a hotline 225 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: to report sex harassment. Yeah, because there was all these complaints, 226 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: so like one out of every five writers said that 227 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: they were sexually harassed or what sexually abused, And so 228 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: someone said, oh, well, how many. You're gonna have an 229 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: easy way for them to report that. Okay, it's a 230 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: phone line with a voicemail. Now the risen somebody the 231 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: answers to call and takes your details. How many employees 232 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: do we have in the county, how many phones do 233 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: we have? How many voicemails do we have? You needed 234 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: to give your best friend in the whole world an 235 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars contract to set up a phone 236 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: with a voicemail, and nobody called it. I only assume 237 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: they never publicize the thing because they got the It 238 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: cost us the equivalent of a thousand. What they do 239 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: is they put up posters in the subway stations and 240 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: on the buses or whatever, saying called his hotline. If 241 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: you've been bothered, this is how corruption works. You get 242 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: your girlfriend eight hundred thousand dollars. She doesn't have to 243 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: work for it. There's a phone. Nobody knows the phone 244 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: number exists. Mostly they got hang up calls, wrong numbers, 245 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: probably telemarketers. People thought they were calling for an uber. 246 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: They they they don't. They didn't serve. They served hardly anybody. 247 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: You don't call for an uber, you use the app, 248 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: and it's a joke. The center of this was a 249 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: woman too stupid they would call for an uber. That 250 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: is how I get it. The center of this is 251 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: a woman named Jennifer Lowe l O e W. She 252 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: worked for Metro, and from what I understand, she dealt 253 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: with the actual contract for Peace over Violence. She got 254 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: involved in some problems. They are feeling she was being 255 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: retaliated against. To rast, she eventually sued Metro. But she's 256 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: the one that basically provided this story that it was 257 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: a behind the scenes push from supervisor Kuel that got 258 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: Giggins this contract, and she eventually settled, by the way, 259 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: with the Metro for a half a million dollars. Okay, 260 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lowe did, Okay, So there must have been some 261 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: real retaliation if they paid her a half a million dollars. 262 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: And there's three contracts totaling eight hundred and sixteen thousand 263 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: dollars and they're attached to the affidavit. So these are 264 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: real contracts. And here is Jennifer Lowe's story, by the way, 265 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: in the affidavit, it says all of the program was 266 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: a complete failure. The contract was extended for an additional 267 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: three years, again without a competitive bid. You have to 268 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: understand these were no bid contracts. Nobody else bid on 269 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: the eight hundred thousand dollars. Just silly Kule's best friend 270 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: in the whole world, A woman that she officiated at 271 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: her wedding. Okay, so. In twenty fifteen, Lowe was a 272 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: project manager noticed a seventy five thousand dollars bill from 273 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: Peace Over Violence. Having knowledge that no official contract or 274 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: agreement had been authorized, she confronted the CEO of Metro, 275 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: Philip Washington, about the bill. She says Washington ordered her 276 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: pay the bill. Ordered her to pay the bill. He 277 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: said he'd rather not upset any of Sheila Cule's friends 278 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: than dispute the veracity of the bill by friend low 279 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: thoughts he was referring to Patricia Higgins. The witness further 280 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: stated that Washington told her directly that he would rather 281 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: pay the seventy five thousand dollars so he could later 282 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: use it to his advantage when he needed a political 283 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: favor from Sheila Cule. Hey, Mike, glad you can join 284 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: me for some great seafood, me too. Wait, why are 285 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: you dressed in fishing gear? You say we were going 286 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: out to kids great seafood? Right? Yes, to Popeyes? Do 287 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: you even know how to fish? No? I thought you. 288 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I could catch pretty good seafood at Popeyes. 289 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: Let's go let Popeyes the fishing while you enjoy our 290 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: delicious signature sea food, get Popeyes flounder fish, saying, which 291 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: your shrip tackle box before they're gone living the time 292 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: at participating US restaurants. She was then ordered by Philip 293 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 1: Washington to pay the bill through the purchase order process, 294 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: which is normally reserved for office supplies. She said this 295 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: was done to avoid having the members of the La 296 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: Metro Board of Directors report campaign contributions they had previously 297 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: received from members of Peace Over Violence, the nonprofit that 298 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: Giggins ran and supposedly the nonprofit that was running this phone. Yeah. 299 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: So if this isn't corruption, what is? This is clearly corruption. 300 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna wait and see what the FEDS do with this. 301 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: Gascone is not involved. Neither was the Attorney General, though, 302 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: as you heard, the sheriff has sent a letter to 303 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: the Attorney General complaining and citing the fact that it 304 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: looks like she lack Quelle was tipped off about the search, 305 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: which is apparently a violation, and it involved the inspector 306 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: general for La County. Did you know we had such 307 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: a thing? An inspector general? I never heard of him. 308 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: Shouldn't we know his name? He should be in the Huseman. 309 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: With all the corruption going on in La County, Max 310 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: Huntsman should have his own TV show every night going 311 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: through everything he's found. And somebody from county council was 312 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: involved too. All right, we'll keep an eye on this story. 313 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: We got more coming up, John and Ken Cafe. I 314 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: they're very excited. Yes, I am. I'm exhilarated. I'm exhilarated 315 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: that Lisa, Lisa, Sheila Quel has to worry it out 316 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,479 Speaker 1: every moment of the day. If she's got to get 317 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: arrested and be taken off in handcuffs, Diah. All right, 318 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: even if she ever gets arrested, she's got to think 319 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: about it enough to see her barefoot outside her home. 320 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: That's too bad she got tipped because he was all 321 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: ready for this. You know what, whatever suffering she goes through, 322 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: she put probably hundreds thousands of business owners at abysses. 323 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: Ruined their livelihoods, affected their families, their spouses, their kids. 324 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: Just the restaurants alone. How many restaurants in your neighborhood 325 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: ended up getting closed by Shillakule. She was abusive, suddenly 326 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: closed by Shillakula, but her policies closed them. Yes, personally, 327 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: she was no, because Sheilla Cula's Barbara Ferrere's boss. Yeah, 328 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: but they didn't bother yeah, right, so that's her responsibility. 329 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: She and the other four supervisors personally responsible for all 330 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: the business devastation. Forty thousand businesses closed in California. Forty thousand. 331 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: Imagine what those people's lives have been like the last 332 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: two years. And I think every politician ought to pay 333 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: dearly for all the suffering they brought those forty thousand businesses, 334 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: all the employees, all the owners, the spouses, the families, everybody. 335 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: That's a lot of pain and suffering that she and 336 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: the rest of him are responsible for. So good, let 337 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: her worry tonight that she's got to get arrested. Right, 338 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: all right, we have what may be the last chapter 339 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: of Rand Paul against doctor Fauci, but it was no, 340 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: not yet. Let me give the introduction first. We're very 341 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: excited here. Yeah, he's the fingers right on the button. 342 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: This is another congressionally hearing. Faucci is retiring at the 343 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: end of the year. He's eighty one years old. However, 344 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: the reports are if the Republicans take back the House 345 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: of the Senate, they may launch investigations in the Fauci, 346 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: at which point he would be called before committee after committee, 347 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: the way they're doing the January sixth thing. All right, 348 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: So this is rand Paul, the Kentucky senator who had COVID, 349 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: who decided that vaccines he doesn't need. That natural immunity 350 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: is a great way to battle the next possible of virus. 351 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: And he's constantly been chasing after Faucci over the origins 352 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: of the virus. The Woolhan lab and this one. They 353 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: do talk about natural immunity. Here comes the back and 354 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: forth from today. But she's had the flu for fourteen days. 355 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: Should she get a flu sha? Well know, if she 356 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 1: got the flu for fourteen days, she's as protected as 357 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: anybody can be because the best vaccination is to get 358 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: infected yourself. And if she really has the flu, if 359 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: she really has the flu, she definitely doesn't need a 360 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: flu vaccine. Yes, she really has the flu, she should 361 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: not get it again. Now, she doesn't need it because 362 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: it's the best, it's the most potent vaccination is getting 363 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: infected yourself. This is an ongoing question, and you know 364 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: we've had ever evolving opinions from you, doctor Falls. I 365 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: think that was an old show that eighty percent of children, 366 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: approximately eighty percent of children have had COVID, and yet 367 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: there are no guidelines coming from you or anybody in 368 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: the government to take into account they're naturally acquired immunity. 369 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: You seem quite certain of yourself in two thousand and four, 370 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: but in two and twenty two there's a lot less certainty. 371 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: One of the things that we also know after looking 372 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: at this for two to three years, is that the 373 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: mortality from COVID is very similar, if not less than influenza. 374 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: So when we look at this, we wonder, you know, 375 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: why you seem to really embrace basic immunology back in 376 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, how you or why you seem 377 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: to reject it now. Well, I don't reject basic immunology, Senator, 378 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: and I have never denied that there is importance of 379 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: the protection following infection. However, as we have said many times, 380 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: and it has been validated by the authorization of the 381 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: by the FDA through their committee and the recommendation by 382 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: the CDC through Dick Committee, that a vaccination following infection 383 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: gives an added extra boost. And that film that you 384 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: showed is really taken out of context. I believe that 385 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: was when someone called in who had had a reaction 386 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: to a vaccine and asked me through a telephone in 387 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: the interview if they should get vaccinated again, So it 388 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: was in the context of someone who had a reaction. 389 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Reuter's fact check looked at 390 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: that and said Fauci's two thousand and four comments do 391 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: not contradict his pandemic. Actually, actually, words don't lie. If 392 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: you look at the words behind me, we can go 393 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 1: over them a little bit at a time. She doesn't 394 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: need it, because the most potent faccination is getting infected 395 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: to yourself. It is true. It is true, Senator. It 396 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: is a very potent way to protect. When you're trying 397 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: to tell us that kids need a third or a 398 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: fourth vaccine, are you including the variability or the variable 399 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: of previous infection in the studies? No, you're not, because 400 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: when you have approved vaccines in recent times, and the 401 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: committees that have improved it for children don't report anything 402 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: on hospitalization or death or transmission. They only report that 403 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: if you give them the jab, they'll make antibodies. And 404 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,719 Speaker 1: you can give kids hundreds of jabs and they'll make 405 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: antibodies every time. But that does not prove efficacy. So 406 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: what you're doing is denying the very fundamental premise of 407 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: immunology that previous infection does provide some sort of immunity. 408 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: It's not in any of your studies. Almost none of 409 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: your studies from the CDC or from the government have 410 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: the variable of whether or not you've been previously infected. 411 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: So let's look at adults. I've had three infections, should 412 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: I get a fourth one? If you're going to measure 413 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: whether I get a fourth one, you need a category 414 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: that has a fourth one in it, and you need 415 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: one that has nothing in it, no vaccine or the 416 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: fourth vaccine. But you also need to know whether they've 417 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: been infected. If you ignore whether they've been infected, you're 418 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: ignoring a vaccine basically, So you're ignoring a variable. So 419 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: what you're giving us is this you decry, and people 420 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: decry vaccine hesitancy. It's coming from the gobbledygook that you 421 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: give us. You're not paying attention to the side. The 422 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: very basic science is that previous infection provides a level 423 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: of immunity. If you ignore that in your studies, if 424 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: you don't present that in your committees, you're not being 425 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: truthful or honest with us. Now, by the way, the 426 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: purpose of this hearing was actually about monkeypox, but Rand 427 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: Paul did not want to He eventually got cut off 428 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: by the chair. Now anything's Fauchi's a fraud, and anytime 429 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: he gets four minutes to prove that, he to attack him. Right, yeah, right, 430 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: because he's a big believer in natural immunity and didn't 431 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: like all the craziness it was happening over the vaccines, 432 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: in the lockdown and the restrictions. All right, we got 433 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: more covered up. Johnny k K. I remember in the 434 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: old days when kids wanted to get out of school early. Wow, 435 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: they pull the fire alarm. Maybe yes, although I know 436 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: one school where a kid called in a terroristic threat. 437 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Well similar to that. It looks like we're on a 438 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: new kind of spree. People are calling in fake active 439 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: shooter reports at schools. Happened today at Lancaster High School, 440 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: it was breaking news this morning that they had a 441 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: lockdown going on because the reports of an active shooter. 442 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: A couple hours later, no active shooter. Oh good. Yesterday 443 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: at Hollywood High same thing, lockdown, no active shooter. It's 444 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: the Bishop High School in Santa Barbara today, lockdown, no 445 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: active shooter. It's the spot a trend here. It's the 446 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: prank of the week now as soon as you hear 447 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: about it, and they're not gonna take any chances. They 448 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: get a report like that. I don't know where they 449 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: asked the caller or whatever it is, questions, but they're 450 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: they're worried that, you know, they can't ignore this or 451 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: else they'll be like the Uvalde, Texas guys who just 452 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: stood around. Right. No, but nobody wants to be the 453 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: Vivaldi police department. You want to respond to this or 454 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: the six other police departments that showed up there. Yeah, exactly. 455 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: You know, Still nobody wants to admit they screwed up. 456 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: There was another round of stories last week. There's another 457 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: report coming out. Still nobody will accept any any responsibility 458 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: for sitting around and doing nothing. It's the most amazing thing. 459 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: It's like a disease has infected the entire country. Nobody admits, 460 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: wants to admit when they screwed up. They just say 461 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: the opposite. They just lie. Now, that was a weird story, 462 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: just the way, a whole way it's been handled. Yeah, 463 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: and to this day, they didn't do anything hundreds of them, 464 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: and nobody will say we screwed up. Nobody's even tried 465 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: to explain what went wrong. They had another one of 466 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: those big police events today announcing in five southern California 467 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: counties with LAPD taking the lead role, they arrested a 468 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: hundred and forty perverts. It was a sting operation about 469 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: children being lured by internet predators. The arrest came during 470 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: the week of September six through the twelve one hundred 471 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: and ten counts of possession, distribution, manufacturing, childhorn, eighteen parole 472 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: or probation violations, and a few other charges that included 473 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: sex abuse of a child, statutory rape, and pimping. They 474 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: got a hundred. I guess they timed this so that 475 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: the school years beginning. They want to warn parents about 476 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: what can happen to your kid online if they are 477 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: not paying attention. They got one hundred and forty in 478 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: a day. Well, it was a week's worth. The week's worth. 479 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: The arrest came during the week of September six to 480 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: September twelfth. That is a lot of perverts. Whether or 481 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: not they had been sitting on this and just wanted 482 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: to announce it, and they went out and grabbed all 483 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: these guys or I don't know there were these just 484 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: came up each day and they found he end up 485 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: tracking them for months. They say they average twenty four 486 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: thousand tips a year from people from a hotline. Oh, 487 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: in this year, it's on a pace to hit thirty 488 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: six thousand tips. It looks like that hotline works about 489 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: I guess a hill accules a friend was running that hotline. Oh, 490 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: it's a good point. You're right. That sounds like that 491 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: thing's ringing all day and night. By the way, these 492 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: wives and girlfriends ratting out their husbands and boyfriends, I 493 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: don't know, Like, how do you know if somebody else 494 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: is trying to lure a little girls online? Yeah? Or 495 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: is downloading child porn? Like, how do you know that? 496 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: Or is this parents had finally found out what's going on? 497 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: They want to report this perverse? Yeah, yeah, maybe maybe 498 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: it's it's really six stuff race. It's awful. It's just awful, 499 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: and you find that out every day though, I do. 500 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: I do, That's why, you know, I just there's no 501 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: hope hanging up. What does it matter if the world ends? 502 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: Everyone's afraid of the world ending. It's ahead. It might 503 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: be a good thing. There's an upside there. There's plenty 504 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,719 Speaker 1: of things to love and enjoy out there. You just 505 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: have to I think that's propaganda. Codway's here, they know, 506 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: hey know, you know, well we've had the Dodgers clenched 507 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: last night, which was big, major breaking news, right that 508 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: was That's kind of not shocking when you're twenty games ahead, though, Man, 509 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: that's correct. That whole lot of drama there, that's right. 510 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: But man, I tell you, you you know, I know you're 511 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: a baseball fan, and if you're a Dodger fan and 512 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: you don't go out to see this team this year 513 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium, you're missing something. I mean, this is 514 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: this is one of the great teams of all time. 515 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, on the field every night, and you know, 516 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: it's just it's a great all around team to watch, 517 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: and they're constantly I mean, the run differential is in 518 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: the hundreds and we're by far greater than any other team. 519 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: It's incredible. And the next closest team, I think is 520 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: like two hundred runs fewer. You know what happens in 521 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: a year like that, right you get wiped out in 522 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: the first round, I know, I know that's where that's 523 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: how you worry about I remember the Seattle Marianna tripped 524 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: him up last year, Seattle Marins about twenty years ago. 525 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they had that that super team with Alex Ordriguez. 526 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: I thought, yea, and they had Randy Johnson won one 527 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen games, one of the most in history, 528 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: and Boom Boom wiped out in the first round, right, 529 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: I think by the Angels. I forget who knocked him out. 530 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: But but did you guys, when you guys were starting, 531 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: when you guys did radio together in New Jersey, did 532 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: you ever think about doing sports? You and Ken Ken, 533 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: did you think about sports? No? No, I wanted to 534 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: be early. I'm not going to sit here and discuss 535 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: who's the goat sports talk radio my head against Michael Jackson, 536 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan calls you hang Michael Jordan or Lebron. I mean, 537 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: I know what I wanted to be was a baseball 538 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: play by play announced. Oh that's kind of cool. And 539 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: I came to that I might have done right. I 540 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: came to a point where I had a DJ job 541 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,479 Speaker 1: and I got an offer to be a play by 542 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: play guy for a double A baseball team. So that 543 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: was the moment, but the show was going well and 544 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: I didn't want to give it up. I know we 545 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: only about thirty wasn't this show? But I got a 546 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: quick question. Were you doing radio and Ken was doing radio? 547 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: And they hooked you guys up. No, we were on 548 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: opposite stations in the same city. We knew we hooked 549 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: us up. Oh, I see hooked ourselves up? And how 550 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: did that happen? And we have eight seconds? Oh did 551 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: you guys pitched us to the owner of the company 552 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: and the managers? And actually, is the idea of my roommate? 553 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: Is that right? We were all really drunk on a 554 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: Saturday night. I wanted to get out of town, and 555 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: my roommates said, you guys should work together? Is that right? Yeah? 556 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: That is true? That's wild man actually kicked I thought 557 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: it was well, he'd heard you know, we listened to 558 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: each other's show, so I heard him. He heard me. 559 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: So if it wasn't for whiskey, you would have never 560 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: been together. I owe everything too excessive drinking. And then 561 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: we got a story coming out of Jim Beam is 562 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 1: now going to make their their um.

Ding dong, let's go shouting whiskey. That's right, 571 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: it's a great idea.
