Hopefully Chris, Hopefully you're able to 19 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: spend some time with some family today. I think that's great. However, Steve, 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: we invited you on because it's more of a tragic 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: story that we have to share as the LAPD lost 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: a family member. Yeah, you know, this is a very 23 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: rare occasion with the Los Angeles Police Department. It happened 24 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: last Thursday. We're just now hearing about it, but we're 25 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: talking about the death of thirty two year old Houston Tipping. 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: He was a five year veteran of the department. He 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: was based at the Devonshire Division, which is in sort 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: of the northwest area of LA County and in the 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: San Fernando Valley. He was a bicycle training officer and 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: that's a very important role for the LAPD. Bicycle patrols 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: are very crucial for in densely populated areas. And he 32 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: was actually at the Allegian Park Academy, that's the original 33 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: traditional LAPD training facility, where he was doing a grappling exercise. 34 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: And for those people that don't know grappling, it's basically 35 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: hand to hand combat, and he was doing some sort 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: of an exercise. It's not clear where there was matt involved, 37 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: but from what I know about training their LAPD, there 38 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: were there are always mats on the floor, but somehow 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: he fell, and when he fell, he did it in 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: such a way that caused a spinal cord injury um 41 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: that rendered him unresponsive. They did CPR, paramedic Scott there 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: took him to the hospital, only he died a short 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: time later. Oh my goodness. So, Steve, are we assuming 44 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: then that when you say a spinal cord injury we're 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: talking about the neck area then most likely because of 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: the of the nature of the injury itself, And it 47 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: would be I mean, unless there was some sort of 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: a you know, some sort of a bench or something 49 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: there and he fell on his back and you know, 50 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: and sort of messed with his back that way. But 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: it seems more like a neck related spinal cord injury, 52 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: is what It's the way it was explained to me 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: earlier today. All right, so this is a real tragedy. 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: That's that's the fall in the LA Police Department here, 55 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, a five year veteran and uh and 56 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: was doing training. Is you also said, see, this is 57 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: very rare, and I assume that the training that he 58 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: was I don't know if he was instructing or if 59 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: he was part of the trainees. I don't know which 60 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: side of that role he was on. But this is 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: what we call this a freak accident. It's not I mean, 62 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: everything is usually done in a very controlled environment. That 63 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: sounds like it's just a tragic accident. Yeah, and this 64 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: exactly in fact, they use the term freak accident earlier 65 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: today because this is one of those things where, you know, Chris, 66 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: these are very controlled environments, very safe environments. Law enforcement 67 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: really uses the utmost care in safety when they train, 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: especially you know, gunfire, anything having to do with combat, 69 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: anything with weaponry. So they've got to maintain the highest 70 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: standards of safety. And this is one of those situations 71 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: where if you fall down on a mat or not, 72 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: and you fall the wrong way, something's going to happen. 73 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: In this case, that's about the best term to use, 74 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: a freak accident. So Steve, can we from this information 75 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: being that it's a freak accident, are we anticipating that 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: the LAPD is going to go through a long review 77 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: process of their training and how to improve their training 78 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: or make it more even safer, or are they going 79 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: to do an internal investigation likely find that this really 80 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: was something that was completely unexpected and there's no way 81 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: to really avoid freak accidents. Both. Of course, they're going 82 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: to take this, They're going to break it down and 83 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: they're going to say, Okay, how did this happen? Can 84 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: it be avoided in the future. Should we look at 85 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: how we do our hand to hand combat training or grappling. 86 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: Is there a way we can do this in a 87 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: way where it minimizes this potential danger to the students 88 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: or the cadets or anybody in this case, the trainees 89 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: and trainers. And also there will be sort of a 90 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: use of force incident that it won't be the kind 91 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: that you're used to. The LAPDS Force Investigation Division or 92 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: FID is usually the investigating body within the department that 93 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: will look at that and they'll determine how it happened, 94 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 1: if there's any kind of blame, if it's even possible 95 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: there's liability. I dallied in this case. Very It just 96 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: seems like, again, as we've both said, this is a 97 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: freak accident. But they will take this and they will 98 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: try to learn from it. Is there is there anything 99 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: that the LA Police Department could possibly do And maybe 100 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: this is a question for down the road here, Steve, 101 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: But when you're training officers to deal with, for instance, 102 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: hand to hand combat, or your training officers to deal 103 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: with the firefights or any sort of those dangerous situations. 104 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: It seems to me that there is going to be 105 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: an inherent danger when you're training, and you try you 106 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: try to minimize that as much as you possibly can. 107 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: But just like in the military we hear about training 108 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: accidents all the time, it is inherently dangerous to train 109 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: for dangerous situations. Not It's absolutely the point, and I'm 110 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: trying to figure out the best way to describe it 111 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: as I as you well know, you're trying to train 112 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: these individuals for some of the most dangerous scenarios out 113 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: on the streets of Los Angeles and in do and 114 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: to do that, you have to train these people on 115 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: how to react mentally and physically, and you have to 116 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: try to simulate those conditions the best way possible while 117 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: still maintaining a safe environment. As we all know, it's 118 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: not a safe environment on the streets of LA. So 119 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: there's that fine line between training these individuals on how 120 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: to get the necessary skills, build that instinct, get that 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: sort of sixth sense on what to do when you're 122 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: out in the field and if you encounter someone where 123 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: hand to hand compact is necessary, but you have to 124 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: do it in that controlled, safe environment and hope that 125 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the training kicks in with these officers, their instincts and 126 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: their training takeover and they can take a hostile situation 127 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: and make it better on their side. Sure, and the 128 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: only way to do that is to have some of 129 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: those intense training sessions said, the military is the same thing. Yeah, 130 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: and that was my next question here, Steve Gregory, are 131 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: who's reporting here for KFI News? What happens on a 132 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend? And I know Memorial Day we think 133 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: about our veterans, but you know, adjacent to the military 134 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: training is going to be where military services is going 135 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: to be our local law enforcement. This has to hit 136 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: particularly hard this weekend for the Los Angeles Police Department. 137 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: What do they do? Does the LAPD do after there 138 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: is something like this, a tragedy that befalls a member 139 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: of the LAPD family, how do they react and then 140 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: what do they do for that that fallen officers family? Well, 141 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: the event itself happened Thursday, and so we're just now 142 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: hearing about it, So there was a bit of a delay, 143 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: and I in what I was told is that was 144 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: out of respect for the family because Officer Tipping was 145 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: an organ donor, so now his organs are actually going 146 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: on to help many others. Chief Moore said this in 147 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: a statement earlier this morning, that his act, his selflessness act, 148 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: continues in the form of his organ donations. But the Department, 149 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: of course will give him all the send off and 150 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: the pomp and circumstance that he deserves because this was 151 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: on duty. He died on duty. He died in a 152 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: training accident, so he was doing what he was supposed 153 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: to be doing, and the Department will help his family. 154 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: Of course, those that he leaves behind will be treated 155 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: like every other family of those who've died in the 156 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: line of duty. They will forever have a family in 157 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: the LAPD. What is it, I'm just imagining the scenario 158 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: where he's where he's there and he's going through all 159 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: this training. He's surrounded by other trainees, cadets, whatever the 160 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: term is that they use of that particular facility. I 161 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: assume that they all had some sort of first aid 162 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: training as well. Was that rendered immediately in CPR, and 163 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: that because the only thing he could really do if 164 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: they had he had a severe neck injury, and they 165 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: don't really have the backboards, the neck braces, they don't 166 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: have all of the other materials or the trauma materials 167 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: to I think affect those kinds of diagnoses if you will, 168 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: And that's why LA Fire Department paramedics were able to 169 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: get there so quickly. But as you know, when they 170 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: call it a catastrophic injury, which you know was probably 171 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: a fatal injury, it was probably pretty instantaneous. But they 172 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: did CPR on scene, paramedics took over life saving measures, 173 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: took him to County USC Medical where doctors there did 174 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: everything in their power to try to revive him, and 175 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: that just didn't happen. And from that point then then 176 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: they were doing everything it could to preserved it. In fact, 177 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: she more even thank the doctor that was that was 178 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: on duty that night that helped to try to revive him, 179 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: and all their efforts just didn't unfortunately didn't work. Well, 180 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: it's a it's a tragic story. See, I'm so sorry 181 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: that you have to cover something so devastating here on 182 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: what is a weekend where we look back on those 183 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: that have sacrificed. Here you are covering somebody who dies 184 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: in a tragic accident in the line of preparing to better, 185 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: you know, protecting sacrifice on the streets of Los Angeles. Steve, 186 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry you had to cover that, but I 187 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: am glad that you did, and we were able to 188 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: bring some notoriety or at least some respect to Euston Tipping, 189 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: and you know, our best to his families they try 190 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 1: to find closure in this. Steve, thanks for the report. 191 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: Thanks Chris, have a good day. All right, we'll continue 192 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: here just a few moments. Another story not from the 193 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: police department, but actually from the Sheriff's deputies. And you 194 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: might think, what a great gig. I'm telling you, this 195 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: is the worst gig you can get. Okay, well you decide. 196 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm exaggerating, you decide, but I'm telling you this 197 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: is not the gig I would want. A Memorial Day 198 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: weekend that is coming up next. It's Chris Merrill in 199 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: for John Account on k IF I am six forty 200 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: Live Everywhere in your Eyeheart Radio app. I want to 201 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: thank Steve Gregory for joining us here to talk about 202 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: the LA police officer that that passed away during training. 203 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: A really sad, sad story which amounts to, as we 204 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: discussed basically a freak accident during training. Houston Tipping was 205 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: his name, and he will be remembered. Five year veteran 206 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: of the force, was a bike instructor, was going through 207 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: UH like hand to hand combat kind of training at 208 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: the Alsian Park Academy and they said he suffered a 209 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: catastrophic spinal injury, just a freak accident during that training. 210 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: Horrible situation. I feel bad for everybody that was involved there. 211 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to turn my attention to another turn your 212 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: attention rather to another story about law enforcement that this 213 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: one not quite so jarring. I suppose I was watching, 214 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, all the different Memorial Day features that the 215 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: local news stations were putting on, and they started talking 216 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: about the beaches and how the Sheriff's Department is stepping 217 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: up beach patrols for the summer. They say, from ply 218 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: Delray all the way up to Malibu, they are stepping 219 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: up their efforts. Well, it sounds great, doesn't it. I'm 220 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: not so sure this is the gig I want. Memorial 221 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: Day weekend is finally here, and La County beaches are 222 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: filling up fast. From Kathy La incidentally joined the day 223 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: at the family or the little ones all right. Carlos 224 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: and his family drove in from Porterville overnight. He says, 225 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: his little boys earned nice vacation. They had a good 226 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: school year, so this is our little reward for them too. 227 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: You know what's your favorite thing at the beach? Sand? 228 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: You'd like the sand. And if you're planning on hitting 229 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: the sand this weekend, you can expect to see a 230 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: lot more of these guys. The La County Sheriff's Department 231 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: is stepping up beach patrols this summer from Plia del 232 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: Ray all the way up to Malibu, and sometimes I 233 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: feel unsafe coming here by myself, but just know that 234 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: we have sheriffs around it makes me feel freaking. That's nice. 235 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: You've got the community list, says I like seeing that 236 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: the Sheriff's patrol. That's fantastic. The Sheriff's Response Team, Mounted enforcement, 237 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: as well as Homeless Outreach and middle Evaluation teams will 238 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: be on patrol as violent crime and the homeless rate 239 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: have increased over the last several years. Deputies will be 240 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: on hand to assist La County Lifeguards and other law 241 00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: enforcement agencies. I'm surprised that there are so many people 242 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: out here. But I think that it's it's good to 243 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: have more police presence there. A lot of people are 244 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: out Yeah, so I'm gonna stop it there because it's 245 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: kind of boring the same stuff over and over, and 246 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: then they'll have somebody else on there that says, no, 247 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: I don't like seeing them out here. Here's the if 248 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: I may I grew up in a beach town. I 249 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: wasn't in California, it was. It was in Michigan that 250 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: I grew up, and I grew up in a beach town, 251 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: and they always had a beach patrol person. And you're thinking, 252 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: what a great gig, right, You're thinking, boy, that must 253 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: be the most coveted spot for the officers. That's got 254 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: to be the that's got to be the gig they 255 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: all want. Now. I don't know how it is for 256 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: the I don't know for sure, right, but in my mind, 257 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, nah, I don't think I would want that gig. No, 258 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I know. You're thinking, all 259 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: but you get to work and you get to just 260 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: you're gonna hang out at the beach. Na You're not 261 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: hanging out at the beach, you're working at the beach. 262 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: And if you're on a foot patrol. You're trying to 263 00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: trudge through sand. That's not fun, imagine. And I'm looking 264 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: at the live shots that Katla had of the deputies 265 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: and they're you know, they've got the full all the 266 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: gear on and the sheriff's vests and everything else, you know, 267 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, I don't want to be standing there 268 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: in my in my full uniform trying to trudge through 269 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: the sand in my in my And I know that 270 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: the boots that they wear, or even if they are, 271 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: you know, walking shoes, I don't know if you have 272 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: gone walking in the sand in boots, it's not a 273 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: lot of fun. Yeah, you can do it for a 274 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: little while, but try walking for say a couple of miles. 275 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: Just walk walk for twenty minutes straight in the sand, 276 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: wearing boots. And for some of you maybe this is 277 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: what you do as part of your training, your nuts. 278 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: But for some of you, you go, I do that 279 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: all the time, right, But why do you do it 280 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: all the time? Because it's hard, That's why it's part 281 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: of your training. For those of you that haven't done 282 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: this before, it's not fun, not a lot of fun 283 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: to be walking around in the in the boots and 284 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: then what here's the other downside of this too. While 285 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: you're out there and you're in your full gear and 286 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: you're sweating and you're trying to walk through the sand 287 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: and it's no Then you see somebody who's doing something 288 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: they shouldn't be, and your job is to stop them 289 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: from doing that, say something, right, right, you're just gonna 290 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: and maybe you're just gonna go, or maybe it's just 291 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: a hey, no glass bottles, right, Maybe that's all you 292 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: have to do and they're gonna go, Oh, I'm so sorry, deputy, 293 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I'll take this back to my car 294 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: right away. But whatever it is, you're kind of raining 295 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: on somebody else's parade, right, and I God bless them 296 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: for doing it. But I'm just thinking from the from 297 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: the from the position of the deputy, that's not a 298 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: whole lot of fun. You're watching everybody else out there 299 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: having fun. You're working, and then you see other people 300 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: having fun and maybe they're doing something that they shouldn't 301 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: be and you gotta go. You're gonna have to have 302 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: contact with with the deputy now right. It doesn't seem 303 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: like a whole lot of fun. Now where I grew up, 304 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: there was only one beach patrol officer. It was the 305 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: local police department. It wasn't the sheriff's department, but it 306 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: is the local police department. In the live shots that 307 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: KTLA had, they had I think three officers walking together 308 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: trudging through the sand. Where I grew up, there was 309 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: only one. And it had to have been the loneliest 310 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: job there was. You never saw the long time veterans 311 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: working the beach patrol. You never did. You always saw 312 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: the rookies or you know, somebody who maybe they crossed 313 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: somebody they got the beach patrol. And again you're thinking, 314 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: oh yeah, but you're hanging out it's fun and sun. 315 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: It's so boring. You're watching everybody else have fun and 316 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: you're sitting around going here. I am in my full uniform, 317 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm sweaty, you know, the sun is beating down, I'm 318 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: getting a good tan on the parts of my skin 319 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: that are exposed. And I basically have to go around 320 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: telling people slow down, don't drive so fast, or no 321 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: glass bottles. It's not it's it's not like the of 322 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: it at gig that I think some people believe it 323 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: to be. No listen if you're part of the Sheriff's department, 324 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: and maybe I'm I'm dead wrong on this, and I'm 325 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: happy to be corrected. It just doesn't look to me 326 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: like that's the gig everybody wants. I would rather be 327 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: sitting in my air conditioned car, not trudging through the sand. 328 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: I'd rather be on a different patrol, not doing that. Now, 329 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: maybe it's a little better because for the most part, 330 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: when you're doing the beach patrol, you're not you're not 331 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: you're probably not going to be dealing with, you know, 332 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: criminals who probably you know, might have a gun in 333 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: their glove box, or you're not searching somebody's car for 334 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: drugs or whatever else, and so in that aspect, probably 335 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: you know a little, you know, a little safer gig. 336 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: That's not to say there aren't certainly drugs present when 337 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: you're talking about people into beach patrol, and as you're 338 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: kids La talk about too, you've got homeless issues, and 339 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: so some of the stuff that you're doing is dealing 340 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: with somebody who's there needs help from a homeless outreach. 341 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: But you're trying to keep the tourists as well as 342 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: some of the locals who go to the beach. Although 343 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: if you're a local going to the beach a Memorial 344 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: Day all long, you've been local, you're probably entertaining friends, right. 345 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: Otherwise you kind of stay away from it. You'll go 346 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: another time when when it's not so crazy and you 347 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta gotta bring a home. Come on, come on, guy, 348 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: who's you can scream at the clouds. It just wants 349 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: you to scream at the clouds over here by the 350 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: parking lot, not over here where mom is trying to 351 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: get sunscreen out our kids. It just doesn't strike me 352 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: as as the gig everybody would want. I mean, there's 353 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: always and somebody's gonna be mad at me too. They're like, 354 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: how dare you say that? The utmost respect for the 355 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: people doing that, I'm just I'm actually feeling a little 356 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: sympathy because I don't think they're gonna get it from 357 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: anybody else. Speaking of sympathy from anybody else, there is 358 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: one baseball manager who's getting no sympathy. No, I'm not 359 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: talking x's and Oh's next. We're talking about respect. That 360 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: is ahead. Got another sports story that's not really sports related. 361 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: It's more like sports as a platform, and it revolves 362 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: around the national anthem. If you're unaware, the manager for 363 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: the Giants, the San Francisco Giants in the Dodgers Division 364 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 1: there is Gabe Kapler. So Kapler started protesting by not 365 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: coming out for the national anthem. After the shooting in Texas, 366 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: he was very frustrated and he said, Una, you know, 367 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: something has to be done in this country. And he says, 368 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I believe strongly in the right to protest and the 369 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: importance of doing so, but I also believe strongly in 370 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: honoring and mourning our country service men and women who 371 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: fought and died for that right. So while he was 372 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: sitting out the national anthem, he started getting some criticism. Understandable, right. 373 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: We already knew that there was going to be criticism. 374 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: We saw this happen with Colin Kaepernick. We saw this 375 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: happen with others who were taking a knee in football 376 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: in protest. So when Kapler does this in baseball, we 377 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: knew that there was going to be some attention paid 378 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,880 Speaker 1: to it. The whole reason for doing it is because 379 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: there's going to be some attention paid to it. Now, 380 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: when Colin Kaepernick started doing it, nobody was paying attention 381 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: to it until somebody caught on and then all of 382 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: a sudden became a big deal. He was doing it 383 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: more as a silent protest. I would say that we're 384 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: at this point now where it's more of a passive 385 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: aggressive protest. Excuse me. I think it was more of 386 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: just a passive protest when Kaepernick started it. Sitting out 387 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: the national anthem has since become a passive aggressive protest now. 388 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: Kapler has said he was saying, I'm not going to 389 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: stand for the national anthem. Things have to change in 390 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: this country, all right. Then people said, well, are you 391 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: going to stand for the national anthem on Memorial Day? 392 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: And Kapler says, I don't know. I don't know. I'll 393 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: play it my ear. Well, the Giants were in Philadelphia 394 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: today and still are. I think. I think that game's 395 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: going on. In fact, I checked it during the commercial break. 396 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: They were in the ninth so I don't know. Maybe 397 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: it's over by the time we're talking now. But he did, 398 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: he did stand for the national anthem. He says, those 399 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: who serve in our military, and especially those who have 400 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: paid the ultimate price for our rights and freedoms, deserve 401 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: that acknowledgment and respect, and I'm honored to stand on 402 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: the line today to show mine all right. Yeah, he 403 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: was asked yesterday, are you going to stand for the 404 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: national anthem? He says, I'm gonna take it a day 405 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: by day because I'll figure it out. He said, Memorial 406 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: Days an important day in our country's history and a 407 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: special day in a unique day. I find it to 408 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: be one that deserves special attention. Fair enough, So what 409 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: he has said about sitting out the national anthem is this, 410 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: and here's the quote from the manager of the San 411 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: Francisco Giantscape Kapitler says, every time I placed my hand 412 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: over my heart and remove my hat, I'm participating in 413 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: a self congratulatory glorification of the only country where these 414 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: mass shootings take place. He said he's not ready to 415 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: announce whether his protests will resume tomorrow night. He says, 416 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: the days move really fast. We're going to come and 417 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: talk about the Giants and at least today and we'll 418 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: get to the game. We'll get into the game, and 419 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: then we'll spend some time trying to figure trying to 420 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: get away from the game, excuse me, and then the 421 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: game starts the next day. I want to have my 422 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: thoughts perfectly formulated. I will formulate them and I will 423 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: share them. I just don't have them right now. So, 424 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: in other words, he wants to he wants to have 425 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: his ducks in a row before he speaks publicly. He 426 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: has caught criticism from others, including Tony LaRusso. Tony LaRussa, 427 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: who's now managing the White Songs, says, I think he's 428 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: right to be concerned with what's happening in our country. 429 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: He's right there. Where I disagree is the flag and 430 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: the anthem are not appropriate places to try to voice 431 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: your objections. Boy, this is where we get into a 432 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: real philosophical conundrum here, don't we If the national anthem 433 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: and standing for the flag, which is patriotic symbolism, right, 434 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: it's patriotic symbolism. And you're saying I'm disappointed in the 435 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: direction of my cry. Must you participate then in the symbolism? Right? 436 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: And people are judgmental, and I understand the judgment. I 437 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: get it, and they go, how dare you exercise your 438 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: freedom of speech around the American flag, which stands for 439 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: your right to speak freely? How dare you? I think 440 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: they start to understand that the national anthem and the 441 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: flag itself mean different things to different people, and there 442 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: is no middle ground on this. Have you noticed that 443 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: if you stand for the national anthem, people around you 444 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: assume that you're standing for the national anthem for the 445 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: same reason that they are right. So if you are 446 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: someone who has served in the armed forces and through 447 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: your training, you were taught that this flag is everything. 448 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: I'll never forget. My son got out of boot camp 449 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: at in San Diego and we were moving and I 450 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: had an American flag and that flag started to fall down, 451 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: and my son dropped the box he was caring to 452 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: come over and grab that flag before it fell over. 453 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: It was just sort of leaned up against the wall 454 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: and got bumped and he dropped this stuff to go 455 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: grab that flag. And he says, he says, it'll never 456 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 1: touch the ground on my watch. He was a little dramatic. 457 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: My son's a little dramatic. But I thought, wow, Okay, 458 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,360 Speaker 1: they really drilled this into his head good and hard. 459 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: The importance of the symbolism of this flag, what it 460 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: stands for, the number of people that have bled and 461 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: died for this flag. I get it. I get it. 462 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: I was very proud of him, very proud of him, 463 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: but not everybody stands for the flag for that reason. 464 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: My son stood from the national anthem before he got 465 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: out of boot camp. The reason he stands for the 466 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: national anthem now that he did only he was only 467 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: in for a couple of year. He did boot camp. 468 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: He was only in for a couple of years as 469 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: a reserve for the Marines. But he did it right. 470 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of him for that. So after after 471 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: that experience, he stands for a different reason. And I'm 472 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: sure of this. He looks around and he sees everybody 473 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: else in that stadium and he knows they're standing because 474 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: of the people that have bled and died for this flag. 475 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: This is a symbol of their sacrifice. That's what he 476 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: thinks now. But when he was seventeen and he was 477 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: going to a ball game and he was standing up, 478 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: do you think he was thinking that at the time 479 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: or do you think he was standing up and going, well, 480 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: this is because this is the ritual. Right. We stand 481 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: for the national anthem for different reasons. Some we stand 482 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: because we want to honor the people that have died 483 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: for for that, for the country and what it means. 484 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: For others, we stand because everybody else is standing for 485 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: some people. We stand for the flag because we still 486 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: believe that this is a great country in it and 487 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: we want to show our respect for that country. For 488 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: those that don't stand, you have to understand they do 489 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: it for their reasons as well. In Camp says, listen, 490 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: I am not going to stand and pay homage to 491 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: a country that is not willing to make movements to 492 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: protect children. To Kapler, he says that flag stands for 493 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: this entire nation, what we are, who we are, where 494 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: we're going. And so if that flag represents all of us, 495 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: and he feels like the flag has let some of 496 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: us down, he doesn't want to stand for the flag 497 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: because he says we as a nation are letting down 498 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: our young people. For Colin Kaepernick, he said, we as 499 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: a nation are letting down are people of color. And 500 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: people get very angry about this and they say, how 501 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: dare you? This is not the time or place to 502 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: make your statement. Well, if it's I saw this Ken 503 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: White as a local attorney, and he's got a very 504 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: popular Twitter account that I follow. It's one of my favorites. 505 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: It's called a pope hat at pop hat on Twitter. 506 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: Shout out to popat and he said this today, and 507 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: I thought this was really insightfully says and if it's 508 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: acceptable to fail to conform to flag an anthem ritual, 509 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: is flag an anthem ritual non political? If you're if 510 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: you're being critical if someone making a political statement around 511 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: the flag and the anthem, are you not saying then 512 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: that the flag and the anthem ritual is eating of 513 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: itself a political statement, and your frustration is that someone 514 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: is not making the same political statement as you are. Yeah, 515 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: I thought it was great. I thought it was great insight. 516 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: I thought you're absolutely right, Ken, this is your spot on. 517 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: You can't say this is not the time or place 518 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: to make a political statement, because by virtue of that criticism, 519 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: you are making it a political statement. Do you see 520 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: There's it's kind of a it's kind of the catch 521 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: twenty two behind the whole standing for the flag of 522 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: the anthem, you say, well, this isn't about politics unless 523 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: you don't follow it, and then you're being political about 524 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: my political statement. I know it's circular and it's hard, 525 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: just spins you in circles round and round and round. 526 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: You go. All right, I get I'm gonna get away 527 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: from po I hate talking politics all the time, So 528 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. But I am going to 529 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: talk about this. You're showering wrong. I'm gonna tell you 530 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: how to shower better here.

Ready, w app Chris merrill 535 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: In for John and Ken. They'll be back tomorrow. I 536 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: don't know if you are aware of this. We're in 537 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: a drought. No, it sounds like sarcasm, doesn't it. It 538 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: sounds like it sounds like I'm being sarcastic. But I 539 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: actually need to tell you. We're in a drought. You 540 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 1: should be cutting back on water usage. The reason I 541 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: need to ask you is that the governor asked us 542 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: to cut water usage. Governor Batman said, can you use less? Oh? 543 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: Because he looks like Bruce Wayne. No, I'm it's not 544 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: insult I don't mean to be insulted. It's not a pejorative. 545 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: I just think he looks like Bruce Wayne. So Governor 546 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: Batman says, can you cut water usage? By fifteen percent. 547 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: He asked the whole state, can you cut water usage 548 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: by fifteen percent? And so what we do as a state? 549 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: We said, huh, and then we used nineteen percent more 550 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: water than we have in the past. So instead of 551 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: cutting it by fifteen percent, we added nineteen percent of 552 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: water usage. That's not really how you manage a drought 553 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: very well. So back to what I said to begin with, Hey, 554 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: do you hear we're in a drought and it looks 555 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: like it's not getting any better anytime soon. Restrictions are 556 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: going to start to be in place next week. The drought, unfortunately, 557 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: was already bad. Now it is worse. This is the 558 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: newest drought monitor. Where we had extrements of your conditions 559 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: across the state. Well, now we have exceptional drought conditions. 560 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: I hate this. Oh it was severe and extreme, but 561 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: now we have exceptional. Don't you feel like they just 562 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: throw out a bunch of adjectives that all mean the 563 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: same thing. Oh, it's extreme, it's severe, it's exceptional, it's 564 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: what's the latest drought. Oh, it's it's a Jim Dandy 565 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: a drought the condition? What exceptional is the worst? Severe 566 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: is in the middle. I know it seems so weird 567 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: to me. You've got to like a mild drought, moderate drought, 568 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: severe drought, right, that makes perfect? Okay, I get it. 569 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: We got we got a little bit of drought, a 570 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: medium amount of drought, and a lot of drought. And 571 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: then they went, oh, but there's even more. It's it's 572 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: it's extreme drought. Oh okay, so extreme is more than severe. Okay, 573 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: I got you, all right. And then somebody came along 574 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: and said, whoa, we have to have something that's even 575 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: more droughty. Exceptional Okay, so we've got exceptional drought is 576 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: the worst drought, more than severe, more than extreme exceptional. Okay, 577 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: Now you understand more of the state is now in 578 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: exceptional drought across the Central Valley. So the state has 579 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: severe drought, sixty extreme drought, and twelve percent of the 580 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: state has exceptional drought. And a little a look closer 581 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 1: to home, we're experiencing extreme and severe drought conditions here 582 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: in southern California. But so just a reminder to continue 583 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: to watch your water, okay, and don't waste it. Okay, 584 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: don't waste it. So what are you doing to conserve water? 585 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: For many of us, we go. The tap still works. 586 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: It's fine. Now. When I first came to California, It's 587 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: been ten years since I first came to California. And 588 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: then we started getting that drought in the in the 589 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: mid teens, right and about the same time, I ended 590 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: up moving to a Phoenix. I went to work for 591 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: a radio station in Phoenix. And in California, we had 592 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: already been doing all the cutbacks. Remember when Governor Brown 593 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: was saying, if it's brown, flush it down. If it's yellow, 594 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: let it mellow, and so we had to we had 595 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: to stop watering our lawns. We had all these different 596 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: issues with the hoas that we're issuing fines to people 597 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: who are letting the grass die. And then the governor said, 598 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: you can't give them fines because we told them not 599 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: to water their lawns. Remember all that, and and I 600 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: was like, wow, this is really this is significant. Where 601 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: does that? Where is significant on the drought map? There's 602 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: no significant yet, There's there're severe, extreme, and exceptional, but 603 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: there's no significant. So significant is my own adjective, You're welcome. 604 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: So we were really doing what we could to cut 605 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: back in California. I go to Arizona and Arizona is 606 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: lower on the priority list when it comes to water 607 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: from the Colorado River. And in Arizona, the attitude was, ah, 608 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: the taps work, it's fine. And you start seeing that 609 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: that metro area they're expanding so quickly, and you've probably 610 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: seen the different population. Now people, especially during the pandemic, 611 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: are leaving southern California and they're going to Arizona, where 612 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: they're going to Las Vegas, or they're going to Texas 613 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: or whatever else. It is, so all of a sudden, 614 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: now Arizona is freaking out. They're going, we don't have 615 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: enough water. In order to dig a well. They have 616 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: to dig a thousand feet down to dig a well 617 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: in places there in the in the Phoenix area. Bad situation. 618 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: And I always used to say on the air, it's 619 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: like the people in Phoenix, as long as there's water 620 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: in the tap, that don't care, I said. But the 621 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 1: people in California, they're paying attention to this drought. And 622 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, this year the governor says, 623 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: we've got a drought. Cut your usage by fifteen percent. 624 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: He goes up to nineteen percent. And I said, well, 625 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: I guess I was wrong. It doesn't happen often, but 626 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: it did. I was wrong. We're bad at droughts and 627 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,959 Speaker 1: what are we doing? I was reading a story from 628 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: the Only Times about what is the right length of 629 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: time for the California drought shower. Oh, I would believe 630 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: that the right amount of time is to get the 631 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: stink off, isn't it? And then they highlighted somebody. I 632 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: love this. The Ely Times highlights somebody. Camilo Loza sometimes 633 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: takes a hot shower before he heads to the gym. 634 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: Then after we're working on the StairMaster, he bikes home 635 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: to windsor hills and showers again. And a few nights 636 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: a week he takes a third shower when he gets 637 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: home from work. So basically the Eli Times is calling 638 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: this one individual out for taking three showers a day. 639 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: Loses says a showering is as one indulgence as a studio. 640 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: Aparliament has no lawn, no garden, no pool. And for 641 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: some reason now we're highlighting this guy is taking three 642 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: showers a day. Somebody else is suggesting, when you take 643 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 1: a shower, take a water can in there with you. See, 644 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: you've been showering wrong. You've been showering without a water can. 645 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: Now you're supposed to take a water can with you 646 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: so that you can use that water then to use 647 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: on things like watering your plants. Oh so you've been 648 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: showering wrong this whole time. You've just been letting it 649 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: go down the drain. Meanwhile, what are we doing to 650 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: fix things? But I don't know, but just hoping it 651 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: gets better. Happened across a story about the water district 652 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: south of here in San Diego County and how they 653 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: are paying costing twenty six percent more at the wholesale 654 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: level in twenty twenty one than what the Metropolitan Water 655 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: District was charging, which serves you know, the LA area 656 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: and out two rural irrigation districts in San Diego County 657 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: home to large avocado industries, want to break away from 658 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: the regional water supplier because water is so dag I'm expensive, 659 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: But the reason it's so expensive is because they're trying 660 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: to figure out ways to combat the drought. Whether it's desalination, 661 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: the other one that people like to say, and for 662 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: whatever reason, water experts don't like that, it's the toilet 663 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: to tap. It's basically the you know, the sanitizing of 664 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: the water that's been and then you're recycling water, right, 665 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,839 Speaker 1: But people don't like to say toilet to tap because 666 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: they always think about drinking, you know, muddy brown water 667 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: that used to be in someone's body. I get it, 668 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: But they say this may be the way forward. So 669 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: if San Diego is the example for how California can 670 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: can try to work through drought conditions while we still 671 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: make sure there's enough water for all forty million people 672 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: here and our population continues to grow, sounds like the 673 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: solution is it's going to cost us a lot more money. 674 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: Oh what here? More money? Throw more money at the problem. 675 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong? More money to live in California? 676 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 1: Who would have possibly seen that coming? Good? Ye? Speaking 677 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: of more money, where is the most expensive gas? It's here, 678 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,479 Speaker 1: and just like the water, nobody seems to care. That's next. 679 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: Chris merrill in for John A.
