1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: you missed by going to the iHeart app for the

00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: John and Ken podcast John and Ken on Demand.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: It's called Yeah, Well, We're gonna go back in time

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 3: for a moment. Debbie and I were in a back

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: and forth texting because some listeners John say, it's a

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 3: myth that the birds will come back and kill the

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 3: baby bird that got handled by human beings. It's a myth,

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: they say, because we were talking remember about the bison

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 3: that had to be euthanized at Yellowstone, Right, and that

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: evolved into a discussion of birds.

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Huh Right, But you said your family, Oh what happened?

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: You know, something killed that bird and it wasn't me.

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: And that happened to me too. I remember something.

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 3: Ripped through the screen and killed it. Maybe it was

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 3: some other type of animal. I wasn't there, and we

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: didn't have surveillance cameras back then, but we thought it

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: was that.

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: If a human touches a bird, then get rejected. Yeah,

23
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: but I did google and it does say it's a myth.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: But who knows? I mean, I don't know. And everything

25
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: at Google's true, isn't it. That's exactly I live my

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: life by Google. You can't trust anything.

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 3: You can't Right at this moment, I guess they're underway

28
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: the Twitter excitement, John Elon Musk and Ron DeSantis.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: It's Twitter excitement hasn't ever started yet. No, Eric's monitoring it.

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Yes, any good audio you grab, they know he's gonna runs.

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: He's quite a jokester. But what's he gonna call Trump? Right?

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Orange hair, clown head? That would come good, That would

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: be great.

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for somebody to do that, to run against

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Trump and just call him a bunch of ridiculous nicknames.

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: What would he do?

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: He might laugh, because he does. I think he understands

38
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: the entertainment value of all this.

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: I think he does. I I don't know. I've given

40
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: up psychologically analyzed. Well don't you want to do? It's what?

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: But who do we have on?

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: John McKinney, John McKinney the first hour, But he said,

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: if you Charlate County Deputy DA and candidate for DA, I.

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: Love He was talking about guyscon I love his quote

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: so much. I want to remember this. If you try

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: to explain crazy, you just sound crazy yourself.

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: It's a very good point.

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm trying to explain why this policy of releasing and

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: not charging people and standing by the criminals and not

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: the victims.

51
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: It was a really good interview with him, we did

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: in the one o'clock hours, So that's definitely something to

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: listen to.

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: Right at the start of the poet, and here's.

55
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: The teaser, he gave us an incredible statistic when it

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: comes to who are the victims of crime in Los

57
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: Angeles County, Well, four percent of LA County is made

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: up of black females and they are thirty three percent

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: of the homicide victims.

60
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: Think about that, So where's the justice in that? Yeah?

61
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: No, the guest guns a horrible racist and he's allowing

62
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: allowing for the slaughter of black women in Los Angeles County.

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: That's what he's doing. That's what the statistics show.

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you say, you're four percent of the population, you're

65
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: one third of the murders.

66
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Somebody is allowing an entire slaughter to go on.

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: All right, So if you want to hear that it'll

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 3: be posted up after four o'clock. It was the first

69
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: hour of the John and Ken Show. Two stories came together.

70
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: Here.

71
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: I just got a press release from the City of

72
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: Los Angeles and it combines with another story that was

Speaker 3: May twenty six is National Heat Awareness Day.

78
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Apparently it is. There is a day for everything. Now,

79
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: what is that?

80
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: Is that?

81
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,480

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: celebrated on Just kidding. They have launched Heat Relief for

83
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: LA campaign and they've actually released a Heat Relief for

84
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: LA toolkit.

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Sure what that is?

86
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: The heat The Heat Relief tool Kit shares innovative life

87
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: protecting resources designed to address the single largest cause of

88
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: climate related.

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: Deaths and hospital business.

90
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: Fifty of those who perish as a result of heat

91
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: waves are the unhoused, you know, nationwide, they say.

92
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: Way more people. And you're in Lombard, who we had

93
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: on the show earlier this week. He's a climate researcher.

94
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: He pointed this out years ago. Way more people die

95
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: in this world of excessive cold and excessive heat. This

96
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: whole notion that the climate change is going to bring

97
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: more deaths is ridiculous. It's it's it's cold weather that's

98
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: the problem, not hot weather. It's easy to cool yourself.

99
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: So slate dot com did a great story. Last week.

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: LA Department of Transportation officials held a big press conference

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: to proudly unveil an exciting improvement the dangerous experience of

102
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: riding the bus in Los Angeles. Are we talking about

103
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: the crime, No, we're talking about shade. They introduced a

104
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 3: new structure which is called La Sambrita, which is a

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: shade and lighting pilot. It's part of their don't laugh,

106
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: this is a real story. Their gender equity action plan

107
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: to address the needs of women who rely on public transit.

108
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: So if you look at the picture, and I don't know,

109
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: if you looked at.

110
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: The picture, job, yeah, I did gender head equity. Yes,

111
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: it's supposed to help women find shade at the bus

112
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: stops because of the upcoming oppressive heat.

113
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: And men can't use this shade. I don't know. Only

114
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: women need shade, not men.

115
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 3: I got the impression they believe there's a disproportionate amount

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: of women that ride the buses.

117
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't know working women. That's ridiculous.

118
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: But what stands out is the object. When you're looking

119
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: at it, you wouldn't know. It's hard to even describe.

120
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: It's attached to a metal pole and it's like a

121
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: screen material with a curve on it, but it's not

122
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: very big. You're supposed to stand under that for a

123
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: little bit of shade? Is that the idea.

124
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: I looked at the photos of what this bus shelter

125
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: is supposed to be, and I just didn't even understand

126
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: the product.

127
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: Nobody did it got I mocked on social media left

128
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: and right because it looks pathetic. Here it is a

129
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: popsicle shaped metal grate twenty four inches wide, bolted to

130
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: the top of a bus pole near the edge of

131
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: a curb. A street blog reporter snapped a photo of

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: the little shadow and shared it to the world on Twitter.

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't long before disbelieving users started throwing a different

134
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 3: kind of shade. They started making fun of it. Well,

135
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 3: it looks kind of stupid. I don't see what the problem.

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: Why did you build a roof over the shelter?

137
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 3: That's what everyone said. Why don't you build an actual

138
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: bus shelter? Okay, Well, did you read the article. Apparently

139
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: they ran into incredible problems with the stupid City of

140
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: La rules and ordinances, and they kept getting stopped everywhere

141
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: they went in terms of how large an object they

142
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: could build and where they could build it.

143
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: But I'm serious, if you read this article, let me see. Yeah,

144
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: I did. It's just I just couldn't understand the product.

145
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: Well, they're saying that the product ended up that way

146
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 3: because of all the rules and regulations that they ran into.

147
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: What kind of regulations do you have on a little

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: defur the roof for a bus stop? I don't What's what's.

149
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: The structure couldn't have a wide canopy because it would

150
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: protrude onto the road or into the four feet of

151
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: sidewalk clearance reserved for wheelchair users.

152
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: It had to be perforated so the wind wouldn't blow

153
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: it over. It couldn't have seats because the bench would

154
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: cut into the clearance, and the firm couldn't move the

155
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: structure over the benches that were already on that street

156
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: because that would spur a six month review process by

157
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: these departments.

158
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: You know, maybe the person standing of the bus shelters

159
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: should bring their own little parasol. Maybe it's up to them,

160
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: it's not up to the city and the taxpayer to

161
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: figure this out, or.

162
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: How they try to micromanage what they think of the

163
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: lives of the underprivilege.

164
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Why do we owe people shade? Why don't you go

165
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: get a job and buy a car. I don't understand.

166
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of hot areas in the world and

167
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: people manage. Why does my tax money have to go

168
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: to keep somebody cool while they wait for a bus? Yeah?

169
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: How much did it say this thing costs? Everybody feels

170
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: entitled to everything. I need shade. There's not enough shade.

171
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: That's discrimination. Oh, I don't think the women writing the

172
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: bus said this.

173
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: This is just the politicians who believe that there has

174
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: to gender equity.

175
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: They went around looking for a problem.

176
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no, gender equity is a cover story for

177
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: some other corruption. Who got the contract to build these

178
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: and and and the guy who owns this company, who

179
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: is he related to?

180
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: What Tototype contribute dollars for that thing that you're looking

181
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: at it? This is this is this is something fishy.

182
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: This is an unnecessary product that everybody's making fun of

183
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: that costs a lot of money. Somebody got a city

184
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: contract for it. What does that smell?

185
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: Well, that's what the guy wrote here. Another hapless city government,

186
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: strangled by its own bureaucracy and regulations, taken for a

187
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: ride by a bunch of consultants masquerading under the banner

188
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: of diversity, equity and inclusion.

189
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: Yes, diversity, equity inclusion is the new shield to rip

190
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: off governments. You claim you have uh uh, you have

191
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: some kind of shade device. What that only works on

192
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: women because men get a disproportionate amount of shade.

193
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it says only women can use it.

194
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: But.

195
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: There is no inequities with shade.

196
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: This is what happens when you come up with like

197
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: gender equity departments. Because they have to think of these projects.

198
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: It creates a creates corruption. By the way, I'm looking

199
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: here online, I wrote in cheapest air conditioner in Los Angeles, Right,

200
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: I clicked Google shopping. You can get an eight thousand

201
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: BTU window air conditioner for sixty nine ninety sixty nine dollars.

202
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: But that doesn't help you waiting for the bus unless

203
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: you carry it with you.

204
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: No, but they every time there's a heat way we

205
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: hear about the people who are suffering because they don't

206
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: have air conditioning and they need to go to a

207
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: cooling center.

208
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: It's like you don't have sixty nine dollars. All right,

228
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: Eric Square has been monitoring the Twitter. The Musk DeSantis

229
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: twitter conversation run into some technical problem.

230
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: Apparently this was a complete bust here.

231
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so oh oh wait, oh no, nope, it's over.

232
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: They ended the spaces on Twitter without even having any

233
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: sort of announcement. There was about when I last checked

234
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 4: before they ended it, there was about five hundred and

235
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: ninety seven thousand people worldwide listening to the spaces. I

236
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: saw Caitlin Jenner, Tom Loren and the whole bunch of

237
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 4: people in there.

238
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: So Twitter Space I'm not familiar. Twitter Space is a

239
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: place where multiple people can connect and talk to each other.

240
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: It's an audio yeah, it's like an audio It's like

241
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: an audio chat room. Like for instance, sports fans like myself,

242
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 4: a bunch of Laker fans will start a Twitter Space

243
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: after a game and we will talk about the game,

244
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 4: and there will maybe be a couple hundred one thousand

245
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: people in.

246
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: There whatever, and everything works fine.

247
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 4: You have a host who has the capabilities to bring

248
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: up speakers and give them microphone capabilities and all of that.

249
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: Oh so you go one by one and everybody comments.

250
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can go one by one, or you can

251
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: have multiple people on at the same time, like for instance,

252
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 4: just now during this space is at one point it

253
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 4: read that Elon Musk was a was the host, Ron

254
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: DeSantis was a speaker, and this guy named David Sachs

255
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 4: was a speaker, So it had those little designations under

256
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: their names, and then everybody else that was in the

257
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: space had the designation of a listener.

258
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: So I did in this work. It was overloaded. Yeah,

259
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: the servers were just overloaded with five and they know

260
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: that was going to happen. I mean a lot of

261
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: people would you would think you would think you.

262
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 3: Think Elon Musk twitter cutbacks or a problem not enough

263
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 3: employees or enough.

264
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: You know, he fired ninety percent of the staffs. Yeah,

265
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: that that definitely could play a role in this.

266
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: But I mean at one point Musk did come on

267
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 4: to the spaces, turned his microphone on and said, hey,

268
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: there's just so many people on the space right now.

269
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: We're trying to move over more server capabilities to this

270
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: server so it has more power to hold this many people. YadA, YadA, YadA,

271
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: and they're working on these technical difficulties. And then I

272
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 4: literally went to go tell John this happened. And then

273
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: I come back into the studio and it says the

274
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: spaces has ended. So I don't know they gave up. Yeah,

275
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 4: So I don't know if they're gonna come back or.

276
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 6: What would have been a better format for this, Uh,

277
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 6: probably traditional broadcast television if you're announcing a presidential campaign

278
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 6: on you.

279
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: Right, Obviously, I just thought he's there. There's there another

280
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: service that performs this.

281
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: No, I mean, listen, I give Desanti they kind of

282
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: screamed it through a traditional service.

283
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I give I give Dysanta's credit for

284
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: trying to do something out of the box and try

285
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: and relate to an audience that maybe wouldn't have seen

286
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: him if he did traditional broadcast television or something like that.

287
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: But you kind of got to get the tech right first.

288
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do you know, it's a bit embarrassing. Oh,

289
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: it's very embarrassing. You don't bet your presidential announcement on this.

290
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: No, I mean a lot of people on the media

291
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: were waiting. Now, they're going to mock this, aren't they?

292
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: Because they hate Musk too well. The media, Yeah, the

293
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: media hates.

294
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: Muss they hate DeSantis son with this.

295
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: In fact, the headlines will be DeSantis's campaign gets off

296
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: to a glitchy start or something.

297
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 4: I was literally tweeting literally last segment while I was

298
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: monitoring this, and you guys were talking about the last

299
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: segment and I was like, this Musk dysantis thing is

300
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 4: a joke.

301
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: As you did send us a texta it's not coming off.

302
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: Also, well, we'll keep an eye on that. So you

303
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: don't think it'll come back tonight. You think that's it,

304
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: that's it.

305
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: We will see unless Elon tweets something. I don't think

306
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: it's coming back.

307
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: He said, fighter that Elon Musk, you won't give up easy.

308
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: We know a bit more about the death of Tina Turner.

309
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: It's a big story this afternoon. The singer passed.

310
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Away at the age of eighty three.

311
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: The hint is that just two months ago she opened

312
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: up about her battle with kidney disease. John Mayna, March

313
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: ninth was International Kidney Day. I missed that one too.

314
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Heat Awareness Day is coming up in May,

315
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 3: and there was Kidney Day March.

316
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: I blew past Kidney Day.

317
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: She apparently was diagnosed with hypertension in the seventies and

318
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: just did not take her medication. He admits that probably

319
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: took a toll on my body.

320
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: Lucky she made it to eighty three. She relied on

321
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: homeopathic remedies.

322
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: Oh that stuff always it always she fails, and she

323
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: just thought that she was indestructible because she had so

324
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: much energy and just felt like this was not an issue. Yeah,

325
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: that's how Steve Jobs died did too soon too, because

326
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: he was taking homeopathic remedies for his pancreatic cancer.

327
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: Oh you know, he had a lot of money he could.

328
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: Have, which is, yeah, tough to beat under the best circumstances.

329
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: But if you're just throwing herbs at it, and you're

330
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: done for.

331
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: And she did suffer a stroke in two thousand and

332
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: nine because of her poorly controlled hypertension. These are her words.

333
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: I struggled to get back on my feet. Then I

334
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: learned my kidneys weren't working that well anymore, and she

335
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: didn't take her medication. She had already lost thirty five

336
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: percent of their function in two thousand and nine, So

337
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: I guess fourteen years later it took a toll on

338
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: her whole body. We don't know the exact cause of

339
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: death yet, but that seems to be a clear hint.

340
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: So kidney failure must have played a role in this.

341
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 3: Muskin dissenters are back on. Yeah, I have it on

342
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: my phone. I'm trying to get it on the desktop

343
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: version of my phone.

344
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: All right, they did come. I knew it. Yeah, the

345
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: answers is talking currently right now. I can put my

346
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: phone on if you want. We'll just hold it up there.

347
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: This is high tech. True needs would be our foundation.

348
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 2: Common sense can no longer be an uncommon virtue, And

349
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: in Florida we proved it could be done.

350
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: We chose facts of education.

351
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we'll monitor that in case it really

352
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: breaks out into chaos. But he's making the case as

353
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: to why we should get rid of Biden. I wonder,

354
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: I just wonder, Eric, if you listen to that, if

355
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: he picks on Trump at all, you don't think he will, John,

356
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

357
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: I don't think he knows. I think he's hoping Trump

358
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 2: ends up in prison before the election.

359
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: I know.

360
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm reading again today that he's got so many problems

361
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: that Georgia indictment may be coming out this summer. Right,

362
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 3: and of course next year we got the trial, yeah,

363
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 3: case out of New York.

364
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: I guess there's an argument for letting the weight of

365
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: all of his trials. And oh and there's another upsett

366
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 2: on the on the paperwork, the paperwork that was found

367
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: in his home and it may be not so much

368
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: that he had the paperwork, but an obstruction of the investigation.

369
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: Oh.

370
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: You see, it's not about can can is there any

371
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: way to win an argument with Trump? It's about whether

372
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: his supporters care, That's the thing it. Oh and they don't,

373
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 2: And they don't care because there's nothing.

374
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: The biased media and the biased process here, So.

375
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 3: They'll they'll they'll know he's this only makes him stronger

376
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: with no I read I read an inn accoum today

377
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: by somebody in the Atlantic, and he said, he goes, look, I.

378
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: No Trump fan at all. I think he's this, that,

379
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: and this. But I sat down with these these Trump

380
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: voters just to listen to really understand what is going

381
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: on here, what it what it is, and he concluded

382
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: that there is absolutely nothing that Trump could do or

383
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: that could happen to him that would move these people

384
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: off off his off their support. Not there's there's nothing

385
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 2: that's They assume that all the media is broadcasting wise

386
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: and all the charges are politically motivated in all these cases.

387
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I mean the example, that's that email I

388
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: read yesterday from a listener who says that the newsom

389
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: is fake, Biden is fake they're all imitators with masks,

390
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: and they're all going to be thrown into get Mo

391
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: and Trump will be reinstalled as president.

392
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: They're waiting for that. It's like the return of Jesus. Yeah,

393
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Wells is wearing a mask.

394
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 3: He's one he got from the Chinese car making pyd

395
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: that he spent a huge amount of money.

396

Speaker 3: too many people joined. Finally got underway twenty six minutes late.

408
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's on now. Yeah, he's doing a Q

409
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: and A Now I guess.

410
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I mean it's gonna be a day of

411
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,040

412
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: because then people forget like they forget everything else. Yeah,

413
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: and you blame Musk. Actually it is Musk's fault. He

414
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: should have had this setup. It's going well now it's yeah,

415
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: now it's yeah, because he built the capacity. I mean,

416
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: there is something to being having so much popularity for

417
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: this that it crashed the system. And that is right.

418
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 3: That supposedly says that you're popular and people are interested

419
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: in your message, which apparently is to attack Biden on

420
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: the open border, which is fine.

421
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: I think that's legitimate.

422
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: I mean, CNN can get inflation and these are the

423
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: issues he's bringing up. CNN can at six hundred that

424
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 3: people to watch their prime timelineup now so they cannot know.

425
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 4: Uh.

426
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: We move over to the the saga of Dianne Feinstein. Today,

427
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: the El Segundo Times let their staff photographer who covers

428
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: the Washington d C. His name is Kent Nishimura, do

429
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: a column about just what it's like to get pictures

430
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: of any senator, let alone the wheelchair bound Dianne Feinstein.

431
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: He calls it a game of cat and mouse. The

432
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: photographers and reporters of the Capitol Hill press corps patiently

433
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: mill about in case a person most likely in a

434
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: blue suit or sometimes a hoodie with a phallax of

435
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: staff breezes by. That's when we strike. You imagine having

436
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: that job. It's like the paparazzi for dopey politicians to

437
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: get a photo of somebody that there's a million photos of.

438
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: Yes, except for Feinstein's a catch because now you want

439
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 3: to see what shape she's in.

440
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: You want to be there when she falls to pieces.

441
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: After three months of being in California and hiding with shingles,

442
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: she's returned, and the voters need to know what kind

443
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: of shape she's in. So she's she's the one they

444
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: want to get, and he basically writes that they do

445
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: their best. They sometimes duck behind pillars when they will,

446
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 3: they will share her around to try to get past

447
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: the mob of photographers. It looks like it's a it's

448
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: a protective bubble, he says. And of course one big

449
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: member is the daughter of Nancy Pelosi. This Nancy Kreen Prauda,

450
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: who apparently.

451
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: Is she's the minder designated minder.

452
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: She seems to be in some pictures. She looks older

453
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: than Nancy Pelosi. I don't know what that's about. She's

454
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: also wearing the same little kerchief that Diane Feinstein. Remember

455
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 3: we used to have fun with Finstein and the pearls

456
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: that she right, yes, yeah, and then this woman's got

457
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: one of the menu. It's not like older women have

458
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: like a little kerchief knotted around their neck. It seems

459
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: to be a fashionable look for older woman.

460
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: Did you see like Biden almost took aheader coming down

461
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: the plane the other day?

462
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

463
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was covered in some guy's story we were talking.

464
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a half step away from tumbling on

465
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: the stairs and smashing his head on the pavement.

466
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: But Jerald Ford, you sed toll always tumble. Remember that

467
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: was a joke for on Saturday Night Live. All the

468
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 3: flops he took, I.

469
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: Know, but I mean eventually one of those can kill you.

470
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 2: I mean the same thing with Diane Feinstein. He falls

471
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: her are really awful for the old people.

472
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: That's why she stays in the wheelchair. But apparently she

473
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: was walking. Well, there's an older picture of her walking

474
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: the hallways. I don't know how much walking she's doing now.

475
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: I think they wheel her into her committee assignments and

476
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: then prop her up at the at the table.

477
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: I don't Yeah, I don't think she should be left

478
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: alone to walk unless you want to do her in.

479
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: Our office has asked photographers to not take pictures of

480
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: her in her wheelchair. Feinstein's spokesman Adam Russell said in

481
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: a statement of The Times, No, we.

482
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: Did ask him.

483
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: We continue to ask for safety reason, since photographers and

484
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: reporters give her space, particularly when entering and exiting her vehicle.

485
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the answer is no.

486
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 3: That the public has a right to know your condition

487
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: since you're an elected office.

488
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Too bad.

489
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: I don't see that's that seems unreasonable that they're oh,

490
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: you just shot back.

491
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: I mean those those staff members act like they have

492
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: the force of law.

493
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: No, they don't.

494
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: Like you work for us, and that's what the media

495
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: is supposed to do is tell us what's going on.

496
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: Then we decide that if it concerns us or not.

497
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up.

498

Speaker 3: six one eight seven seven six six ' four seven

508
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 3: eighty eight six. Well, this was a scam that a

509
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: father and his two sons pulled off in the state

510
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: of Massachusetts, and they did it for a decade, grabbing

511
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: over twenty million dollars in proceeds.

512
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: And it all has to do with the lottery. This

513
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: is quite a story.

514
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 3: Ali Ja'far Aided sixty three and Yusef Ja'far twenty nine

515
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: were sentenced to five years in fifty months in prison.

516
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 3: Can explain this easily. Basically, what they did. They purchased

517
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 3: winning lottery tickets from people across Massachusetts who wanted to

518
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 3: sell their winning tickets for a cash discount instead of

519
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 3: claiming their prize, which would have subjected them to tax ramifications.

520
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, So these guys were like, oh, we'll take

521
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: a little off the top, but you'll get most of them.

522
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: And this way the state and the Feds get nothing.

523
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: How's that?

524
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 3: So they got a lot of willing people that were

525
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 3: going to sell them their lottery tickets. Then they turned

526
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: around and cashed them, right yeah, And then when they

527
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: filed their taxes, they claimed fake gambling losses to offset

528
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 3: the lottery winnings.

529
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: You get it. You can. You can deduct gambling losses.

530
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: You sure can, yes, Eric, is that true? Does he care?

531
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: You ever deduct your gambling losses? No? I don't gamble. Actually,

532
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 1: oh you don't. No, No, that's Ray, Yeah, Ray gambles.

533
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm way too it. And oh ask yeah Thompson, Oh

534
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: kad Thompson. Yeah. I think Thompson literally.

535
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: I think Conway has fun with it, but I think

536
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: Thompson literally just have a book.

537
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: But yes I do. I do know. You have to

538
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: pay taxes on gambling on the winnings, and you can

539
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: deduct the losses. I did pay. I did pay taxes

540
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: on winnings one year.

541
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: I think it's if it exceeds like twelve hundred dollars,

542
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 3: they'll stop you at the casino and make you thill

543
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 3: out the.

544
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: Paperwork how'd you win? Because they have to report it?

545
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: What what did you win at?

546
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: I was a a slot machine, a big one. It

547
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 3: was twelve hundred dollars. I won twelve hundred and you

548
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 3: know one spin. Yeah, but you know you put money

549
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: in before you get that, sure, and that's why. So

550
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 3: I guess I could have saved everything else and offset

551
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 3: that with lottery law, with a lot of lottery slot

552
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: machine losses. But you have to keep the records for

553
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: that if you're really serious about it.

554
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, they they claimed the equivalent by faking gambling

555
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: losses as an offset, so they avoided federal income taxes

556
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: and they got fraudulent tax refunds. So the whole scam

557
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: netted them over twenty million dollars. Seriously, that's what, yes, right,

558
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: It resulted in federal tax losses of over six million,

559
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: more than one point two million of which went directly

560
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: to the defendants in the form of these fraudulent tax refunds.

561
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: But it took them ten years to catch up with this.

562
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: This fellow was gonna say that that's a long time

563
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: they were getting away with this. They should have gotten

564
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: out of the country.

565
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 3: They're also in the process of suspending the licenses of

566
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: more than forty of their lottery agents because I guess

567
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: they knew what these guys were up to by cashing.

568
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 3: Oh sure, because it turned out these guys were like

569
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 3: the biggest winners in the state, the father of the son.

570
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 3: How many times couldn't you show up at a seven

571
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 3: eleven where they're winning lottery?

572
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: Tell you ticket? Right?

573
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: Well, they probably went to different seven elevens, but they

574
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: had their friends there, wink wing who may have gotten

575
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 3: a cut.

576
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: Ah, this was complicated.

577
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: I mean it was a kind of a genius and

578
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: they and they pulled it off for a long time.

579
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: They got greedy. They should have stopped and found an

580
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 2: island somewhere, and I think ten million would have been enough.

581
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

582
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 2: Hey, Conway, did you ever write your gambling losses off

583
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: on your taxes?

584
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 4: Oh?

585
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:36,760

Speaker 7: as much as you've won.

588
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: Now, and that's what this family did. They just offset

589
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: them right right, You can do that.

590
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 7: And you know, the casinos keep track for you, and

591
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,200
