According to Hamas, over ten thousand people have 9 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: died in Gaza. Israel reportedly is surrounding Gaza City and 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: is telling any Gaza residents still there that they ought 11 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: to get out because they're going to start to going 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: through the streets soon, if they haven't done it already. 13 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: Let's get the latest from Jordana. 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: How are you. 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 3: I'm okay. That's been another long and busy day here, 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: day thirty one of the war. That's how they describe it. Here. 17 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 3: Israeli forces operating inside Gaza City. As you said, they 18 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: have encircled the city as well. They've essentially cut the 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 3: Gaza strip into two parts, Northern Gaza for the fighting 20 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: and Southern Gaza, which they save, you know, a safer 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: zone for as civilians. And they've been urging Gozans for 22 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: now more than two weeks to head south. But it 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: has to be said even there, you know, there's still 24 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: in the south, there's still there's still bombing raids, for 25 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: example in Communis yesterday and in a refugee camp that 26 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: was in central Gaza. Visual says it is making progress, 27 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: that it's killing you know, dozens of Hamas fighters and commanders, 28 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: and that it is taking out rocket launchers and weapon 29 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: cachets and destroying tunnels, although the network and gods of 30 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: the underground tnel network is enormous and runs for miles 31 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: and miles, so that is one of the biggest challenges. 32 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: The other one, of course, is trying to keep civilians safe, 33 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: which is almost impossible really given the way Hamas operates, 34 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: which is among civilians today the Israelis put out more 35 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: evidence of Hamas positions near schools and mosques and residential buildings. 36 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: This is a kind of typical strategy that we've seen 37 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: AMAS for the last fifteen years really ever since it 38 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: took over the Gods and Strip from the Pealsonian authority 39 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 3: and started firing rockets on Israel. And this is how 40 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: they operate. This is their mo and as you said, 41 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: the death toll reflects that. You know, there's ten thousand 42 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 3: that have died, and you know, probably a little more 43 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 3: than half of them are innocent civilians and the others, 44 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 3: you know, maybe related to Hamas in the fighting. 45 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: They actually, from what I heard the reports, because you 46 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: never know for sure, mus stacks missiles inside the mosques 47 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: and some of the recreational centers. That's their storage areas. 48 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean it's not yeah, that is one of 49 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: their I mean, they found missiles inside un schools during 50 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: one of the previous rounds of conflict war with with Hamas. 51 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: But absolutely they store they store missiles. I mean they 52 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: they have tunnel shafts right outside the main hospitals, Al 53 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: Shifa Hospital in Galaza City, and there's a whole underground 54 00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: network and bunkers there. And you know, there are thousands 55 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 3: of people gathering outside of Alshiffa Hospital and Gaza City 56 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: because they figure it's one of the safest places that 57 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: until the hospital is either evacuated or taken over, the 58 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: Israelis won't vomit, not yet, So people are gathering there 59 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: to try to you know, avoid avoid the you know, 60 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: the danger of these strikes. 61 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Are people being allowed to escape Gaza City or does 62 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: is Hamas still blocking people from heading for the exits. 63 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: Well, Israel again today provided what they called does a 64 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 3: safe quarter for about four hours today and encouraged gozens 65 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: to you know, take this route and go south. There 66 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: have been various reports and the Israeli Army is documented 67 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 3: some of them with Helmas putting up roadblocks. They you know, 68 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: Israel released a phone call between a civilian describe and 69 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: As someone else describing that he was shot at by 70 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 3: Hamas because he was trying to flee you know, down south. 71 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 3: So I mean Hamas in the most horrifying ways, really 72 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: uses civilians of human shields. And it's an ugly and 73 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: dirty game because for those who are uninitiated, it appears 74 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: Israel's just you know, bombing refugee camps and bombing hospitals. 75 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 3: But that's not the case. You know, Azel works on 76 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 3: an intel, and of course sometimes it makes mistakes, there's 77 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 3: no doubt about that. But the you know, the the 78 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 3: mo is to you know, fire on fire on Hamas 79 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: terrorists and their infrastructure based on intel. You know, last Friday, 80 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: they attacked the ambulance that Gil said, you know, was 81 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: being used by Hamas terrorists to you know, ta to 82 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: move arms, and even for some of their fighters to 83 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: try to escape over the border into Egypt. 84 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: It seems clear that despite all the protests around the 85 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: world and various world leaders making demands that Israel UH 86 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: issue a cease fire or a pause whatever the euphemism 87 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: is of the day, Uh, they have no intention of 88 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: doing that. They're gonna They're going full steam ahead here. 89 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: Does it seem that way from where you are? 90 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: It does it? 91 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: Does? 92 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: I mean these really Prime Minister Benjamin Attagal doubled down 93 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: on you know, his position, which is he will not 94 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: he will not hold Digil's fire for even you know, 95 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: a humanitarian pause or cease fire until the hostages are released. 96 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: And it does not appear Hamas is ready to do 97 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: that yet, you know, Kurt, Israel moderate their position in 98 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: the next several days at the request of the United States. 99 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: That's a possibility too. I mean, you know, the aid, 100 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: the military aid, the presence of the warships, now a 101 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: nuclear submarine that's come to this region, all of that 102 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: gives President Biden leverage to to ask certain things as 103 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: the Prime minister, and he needs and it requires him 104 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: in some sense to listen. So the two leaders spoke 105 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: again today and likely a humanitarian pause was you know, 106 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: at the top of the list to get aiden and 107 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: stick people out and get Americans out and other foreign 108 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 3: nationals who are basically stuck in the God's Strip. 109 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: All right, Jordan, I think very much for all your recording. 110 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, Jordana Miller, ABC News correspondent in Jerusalem. 111 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: As Uh, the Israelis having circled Gaza City and they're 112 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: starting to infiltrate, and they're pretty much given a last 113 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: call for residents of Gaza to head for the escape 114 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: corridor or it's uh, it's gonna be pretty brutal times 115 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: in Uh in that part of the world. 116 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 117 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: The protests over the weekend were huge in some places, 118 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: and they were they were these were they were very 119 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: fair amount of pro Hamas, pro terrorist, pro genocide, wipe 120 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: Israel off the face of. 121 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: The map Uh brigades. 122 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: Uh.

Boy, you 161 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: probably didn't know just how many people were pro terrorists 162 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: living in the United States. Huh, is this a shock? 163 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: I remember years ago in the early days of covering 164 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: illegal immigration here in southern California, it seemed like the 165 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: whole country didn't really care until there was a day 166 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: without an illegal that's what the organizations called it. And 167 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: suddenly there was massive protests in the streets of Los Angeles, 168 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: just thousands and thousands and thousands waving Mexican frags flags 169 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: that got national coverage, and suddenly the whole country woke up. 170 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: Everybody realized, oh my goodness, when did this happen?

They were chanting Alahu Akbar and f Joe Biden. 176 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: Obviously they shouted the whole word. They shouted out the 177 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: whole word, and then they were chanting from the river 178 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: to the sea, Palestine will be free. And understand because 179 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: some people are trying to muddy up the meaning of that. 180 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: That isn't just pretty poetry. From the river to the sea, 181 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: Palestine will be free means from the Jordan River out 182 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: to the Mediterranean Sea. There are no more Jews, and 183 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: there is no more Israel. Everybody is murdered, and the 184 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: land is completely rid of the Jews, and israelis for 185 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: all time complete genocide, and Palestinians will roam free through 186 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: the empty land. They wrote that the chant is growing 187 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: increasingly popular, and others chanted long live the Intofada, which 188 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: is an Arabic word that describes a Palestinian uprising. Back 189 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties and nineties and again in the 190 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: two thousands, thousands of people died Palestinian revolts. Some people 191 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: thought up to one hundred thousand people were at this event. 192 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: They were splattering sparing red paint on the white cement 193 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: pillars that separate the gates of the White House, and 194 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: they all kinds of incendiary signs, incendiary photos that they 195 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: were raising. Let's play a clip of some of the 196 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: chanting that was going on here. This is about a 197 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: minute of the various chants. You'll be able to I 198 00:13:52,520 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: think you'll be able to make it out genocide. 199 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: US. 200 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: So if you're keeping track, the first chance was olho Akbar, 201 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: second was genocide Joe. Then Gaza, Gaza, Gaza, and and 202 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: finally one two, three four, occupation no more five point 203 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: six seven eight. Israel is a terrorist state. By the way, 204 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: these all these people are if they're citizens, they're Democrat voters, 205 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: which is going to be a huge problem for Joe 206 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: Rashida Talib, who is this wacko wacko congressman in Michigan. 207 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: And there's about three hundred thousand Arab Americans in Michigan 208 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: and a lot of them concentrated in her district and 209 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: they have elected her repeatedly, and she says the most vile, incendiary, 210 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: hateful things. She also enjoys from the river to the sea. 211 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: Palestine will be free, and she knows, she knows what 212 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: it means. And since Biden is siding with the Israelis, 213 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: at least for the moment, they all that whole crowd 214 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: is furious and they will not be voting for him, 215 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: not that they're necessarily voting Republican, but they're not voting 216 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: for him. I mean, the Republicans are full bore on 217 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: the Israeli side as well, So he's stuck. And also, 218 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: you know, most Jewish voters vote Democratic as well, so 219 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: he's in a position. And we're gonna talk more about 220 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: him because he had a really bad polling come out 221 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: over the weekend and it's really hard to believe that 222 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: he's going to be their nominee. 223 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: We're going to talk further coming up, John and Ken. 224 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 225 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 4: AM six. 226 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: Forty shows on every day from one until four. Then 227 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: after four o'clock it's John and Ken on demand. The 228 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: show becomes a podcast. Whatever you missed you can pick 229 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: up on the podcast and it's on the iHeart app 230 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: Hosted shortly after four o'clock, The Endless Parade of Clowns 231 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: and boobs. We either are on the city council, who 232 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: used to be on the city council until they got 233 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: indicted and sent to prison, or who want to get 234 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: on the city council. The latest is a wanna bee, 235 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Wendy Carreo. She has been a state legislator for some 236 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: years now and she wanted a job as an La 237 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: City council person to replace Kevin de Leone. 238 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 2: You know that guy's. 239 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: Story, right, the inflammatory language during a private conversation secretly 240 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: recorded where he was saying unkind things about blacks and Wahawkins. 241 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: And he refused to resign. 242 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: And he's up for reelection against a long list of candidates. 243 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: One of them is Wendy Carreo, who would have the 244 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: most political name recognition, I guess. But then she got 245 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: loaded on Friday, like really loaded, and she's got it's 246 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: hard to believe. She's got a cover story though, And 247 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: we're going to play a quick clip from Phil Schumann 248 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: Fox eleven and then we'll go deeper into her excuse. 249 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 5: No, I'm okay. The cell phone video shows Carreo's Audi 250 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 5: in the background in the street about one thirty am 251 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 5: northeast LA. She'd apparently smashed into the rear end of 252 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 5: this gray Toyota, pushing it into the small black VW 253 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 5: owned by this man. 254 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 6: Heard what was ultimately a car crash, really loud bang. 255 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 5: He's a neighbor, said he was awakened by the noise, 256 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 5: went outside cell phone camera rolling, though he didn't want 257 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 5: to be on camera himself. 258 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 2: She was okay. 259 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 6: She was obviously disoriented. She gave us like a hand 260 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 6: signal that she was okay. She got out of the 261 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 6: car right away. When she came up to us, it 262 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 6: was very clear that she was intoxicated, slurring her speech. 263 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 6: The alcohol smell is very present. 264 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. 265 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 5: You can hear Corea as officers approach her with this 266 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 5: brief explanation. 267 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I just I b and the long of 268 00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 7: the people. 269 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 5: Yes, she says she sneezed and lost control, But in 270 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 5: the background you can see her on the sidewalk to 271 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 5: officers administering a field sobriety test. She appears to briefly 272 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 5: lose her balance before it's all completed. Listening to the 273 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 5: LAPD officer explained to bystanders what happened next. 274 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 7: LAPD has a policy of being fully transparent with the public. 275 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 7: It was brought to my attention that this person is 276 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 7: an elected official current in the state Senate. So sometimes 277 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 7: for people that are considered to be for lack of 278 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 7: better terms of dignitary, we allow them to do the 279 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 7: investigation in a private area away from the public right. 280 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 7: It does not change it does not change the fact 281 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 7: that she has been drinking. She has been involved in 282 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 7: a crash. 283 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 5: Korea was arrested, booked, and released, issuing a statement of apology, 284 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 5: saying she's cooperating with police, while not specifically admitting she 285 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 5: was drinking. As a public servant, she said, I am 286 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 5: aware that I must adhere to a higher standard that 287 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 5: demands personal accountability for my conduct, and I accept responsibility 288 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 5: for my actions. I sincerely apologize to my family, constituents, colleagues, 289 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 5: and staff. No one injured in the incident involved in Korea, 290 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 5: who's been representing the northeast LA area since twenty seventeen 291 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 5: in the Assembly. Now we wait to see if the 292 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 5: city attorney or the district attorney goes ahead and files 293 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 5: criminal charges. Remember Korea was currently running for Kevin dal 294 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 5: Leone's La City council scene. 295 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: Dignitary? Did you catch that? Apparently drunken state senators are 296 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: considered dignitaries and so they get private treatment when it 297 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: comes to the arrest. How drunk was she when she 298 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: stumbles out of the car. Now, remember she's not only 299 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: she's got she's got more than twice the legal limit 300 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: over double, So no way she doesn't know she's drunk. Right, 301 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: she comes stumbling out of the car. She could barely 302 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: stand up during the sobriety test, and she tells the cops, well, 303 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: I sneezed and lost control. She must have had a 304 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: half a dozen drinks at least, if not more, because 305 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: you're talking about zero point one six blood alcohol content minimum. 306 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: Because they didn't give the exact amount, they just said 307 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: more than double. She couldn't walk in a straight line, 308 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: and she blames it on a sneeze. What are people electing? 309 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: Who are these people who are running for office? If 310 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: you're caught, you just wiped out a bunch of cars. 311 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: She hit several parked cars. She gotta easily killed somebody. 312 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: If you went to a party and you got drunk. 313 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: Then just say I went to a party and I 314 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: got drunk, or I decided, Oh broke up with my boyfriend. 315 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: I had a fight with my husband. You know, I 316 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: got fired today at work, although being a state senator, 317 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: unfortunately she. 318 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: Can't get fired. 319 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: Instead out of all the possible reasonable not reasonable excuses. 320 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: But you know what happens in real life is people 321 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: get emotionally upset, or they have too good at time 322 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: and they drink too much and then this happens. No, 323 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: I've never heard anybody say I sneezed. 324 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: I sneezed. 325 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: Meantime, she's tumbling around in front of them and she's 326 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: trying to convince them that it was a sneeze that 327 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: caused this, that caused this accident. I lost track of 328 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: the vehicle. Wow, she really got loaded. She's been in 329 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: the legislature since twenty seventeen, and she's close with Newsome. 330 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: She went with him on a trip to her home 331 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: country of El Salvador in twenty nineteen. 332 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: Oh look at this. 333 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: Of course, she's a rising star who's appeared many times 334 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: with Newsom. Newsom endorsed her last year as a tireless 335 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: champion for working people. Well, Newsom has his own alcohol 336 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: problems in his background. She slammed into the park cars. 337 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: One witness said it was a very loud, huge bang 338 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: and then heard like skidding. So she was doing bumper 339 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: cars in the neighborhood. A witness said she was slurring 340 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: her speech and was very impaired. Her airbags deployed and 341 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: she came out of the car and giving the thumbs up. 342 00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: You can smell the alcohol, and she blamed. And is 343 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: she actually going to tell the judge that in court? 344 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: The sneeze defense Wendy Correa. So we've got Kevin de 345 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: Leone who bad mouths black people in Will Hawcken Will 346 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: Hawkins behind closed doors versus a loaded lunatic who sneezed 347 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: her way into a multi car accident. 348 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 2: We're coming up. 349 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: I'll tell you when we come back what we're going 350 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: to have a start at two o'clock hour. A really 351 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: interesting interview that's next. This really exposes what those terrible 352 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: people at the Los Angeles Times are about. 353 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 354 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 355 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: Coming up after two o'clock. You may be familiar with 356 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Adam Housley. He was a Fox News corresponded for years. 357 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: He covered a lot of wars over that time, and 358 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: his niece was murdered at the Borderline Bar in Thousand 359 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: Oaks back five years ago. Five years ago, I guess tomorrow, 360 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: November seventh, I believe it's been. 361 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 2: Five years and. 362 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: His brother has put out a statement, Adam Howsley's brother 363 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: because the Los Angeles Times and a couple of other 364 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: media outlets had been involved in a year's long fight 365 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: to get the autopsy reports from government officials, the autopsy 366 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: reports of those who were murdered at the Borderline Bar. Now, 367 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what the purpose of that is, because 368 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: there's no mystery as to how they died. They were 369 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: all shot to death by a crazy gunman. But the 370 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: Ally Times really went to the mat on this. It 371 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: went back and forth in court, both sides getting victories 372 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: at different points, but ultimately the Times and the other 373 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: outlets won the right to get access to the autopsy 374 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: reports and publicize the results. And it turns out that 375 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: it turns out that they did die of the shooting, 376 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: shockingly enough. But here's where the Times really got disgusting, 377 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: and these are executives at the Los Angeles Times. You know, 378 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: they are responsible for all the manure that the paper 379 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: excrets every day. They have filed for legal fees against 380 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: the families of Borderline. In other words, the LA Times 381 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: wants the families of the dead victims to pay the 382 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: LA Times legal fees since the families had the nerve 383 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: to fight the Times in court to prevent the autopsies 384 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: from being released, and the families did it for privacy reasons. 385 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: They didn't want to relive the trauma by having all 386 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: the details of their loved ones murder be spread all 387 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: over the front page and all over television, so they 388 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: wanted to try to protect the memory of their loved 389 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: ones and protect their own sanity. Instead, the LA Times 390 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: went to the mat here, ultimately claiming in a First 391 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: Amendment right to the truth. And now they want the 392 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: families to pay their legal bill. They started this by 393 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: and now they I'm just beside myself, but this is 394 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: this is I'm telling you they're sociopathic at the LA Times, 395 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 1: Absolutely sociopathic. I don't know how you could insist on 396 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: having families pay the legal fees when they were just 397 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: trying to protect the privacy rights of their their dead 398 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: of their dead family member. It's shocking. Well, Adam Howsley's 399 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 1: going to talk about it again. His niece was murdered 400 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: at the quorder line. There's a lot of people who 401 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: get snarky about the rich and think that they ought 402 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: to be taxed out of existence. And one guy who 403 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: gets a lot of grief for being successful, as Jeff 404 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: Bezos and all these progressives, think that well, just one day, 405 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: one day, will be in power in significant numbers and 406 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: we'll be able to strip the wealth away from all 407 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,479 Speaker 1: the rich people. So in the state of Washington, they 408 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: proposed a wealth tax. Now, mind you, this is not 409 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: an income tax based on your paycheck. 410 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: This is not a. 411 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Tax based on your stock gains. This is a tax 412 00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: based on your accumulated wealth. And they thought thought they 413 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: were going to raise about three point two billion if 414 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: this tax ever got implemented. It was a proposal, but 415 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: in Washington State they have a lot of proposals that 416 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: have gone through along those lines three point two billion. Shockingly, 417 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos decided that he's going to preempt this tax 418 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: and he's going to move. He's moving to Miami, where 419 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: they have no such tax, he would be on the 420 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: hook for one point four billion dollars a year. That 421 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: would be forty five percent of the projected total in 422 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: the state. So they came up with a tax where 423 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: one guy would pay forty five percent of the total 424 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: haul Jeff Bezos, and he basically said, fu, I'm moving, 425 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: and so he's moving, and he's also going to shield 426 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: his errors from Washington's highest in the nation of state tax. 427 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 2: That's a top rate of twenty percent. 428 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: I have never seen a case where one person moving 429 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: would affect one third of the revenue from a single tax. 430 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: But this is why progressive. They're progressive. Well, most progressives 431 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: have their heads up their rear ends about this stuff. 432 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: Rich people move and they move their money, and you're 433 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: not going to find them, and you're not going to 434 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: find their money, and you don't get to tax them 435 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: just because you're overcome with jealousy because your life is 436 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: a failure and his Wasn't we come back, or we'll 437 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: have Adam Houseley about the La Times wanting Housley's family 438 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: to pay the legal bills after a protracted fight that 439 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: the Time started wanting to get the autopsy reports of 440 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: one of Howsley's family members who was killed in the 441 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: Borderline shoot up five years ago.
