12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: That's right, I mean, what gives? What else do you want?

00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: What gives? What gives? We'll have another keyword at two twenty,

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: and of course one more three to twenty on the

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: John and Ken Show. We're keeping an eye on a

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: story for our show. This afternoon. In Sacramento, the Assembly

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: Public Safety Committee killed the bill that everyone thought would

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: easily pass, and that is to list human trafficking as

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: a serious felony offense in the state of California. When

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: you hear the words child trafficking, you gotta be thinking

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: that's a serious crime, But apparently not in the Assembly

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: Public Safety Committee. This bill sailed through the Senate, but

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: it looks like it's getting blocked in the Assembly by

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: this Public Safety committee. Only one Republican voted for it,

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: another one was absent, and all the Democrats that were

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: there voted against it. We don't have a complete tally yet,

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: but we believe certainly it was enough to block the

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: bill for Yeah.

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: And the chair of the committee is Reggie Jones Sawyer

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles. Yeah, and apparently I don't know, he

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: and the other Democrats are on the side of the

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: perverts who sell young girls into sex slavery. Nice.

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: Who know who knew Reggie Jones Sawyer was pro teenage

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: sex slavery.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Great, great to know. No felon, no serious felony. There,

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: no serious jail time. Carry on, carry on men, whatever

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: you want to do.

38
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: There not a big deal. All right, we are now

39
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: going to talk about I get this a bit of

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: a shock. The ACLU is also opposed to this, as

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: well as the John and Ken show. How about that, John?

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: How often does that happen? It's good to fil you.

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: Let me wait to see what it is. It's the

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: speed camera. Oh god. Yeah. The ACLU is opposed to

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: any kind of cameras that enforce laws. In case you

46
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: don't know by now, and this stupid thing has been

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: around for years thanks to an assembly woman by the

48
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: name of Laura Friedman, a Democrat from Glendale, Assembly Bill

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: six four five right now, they're in a pilot program

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: with the speed cameras, and here are the places. La

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: Long Beach, Glendale, that's where she's from, San Francisco, Oakland,

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: and San Jose. Civil penalties would be fifty dollars if

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: you exceed the speed limit by eleven miles an hour,

54
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: it jumps to one hundred if it's sixteen miles per hour,

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: two hundred if you're twenty six miles per hour over,

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: and if you if you are one hundred miles per

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: hour over the speed limit, he could hit five hundred dollars. Well, look,

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: that would be dangerous. Well, the thing is passing.

59
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: This bill is not going to stop the guy who's

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: driving thirty miles hour over the speed limit. Because that

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: guy is drunk or on cocaine or meth or something.

62
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: He doesn't know what the laws are and he doesn't care.

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: So they're using that to sound dramatic. The truth is

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: they want the money for the fifty dollars penalties. Fifty

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: dollars times everyone who slightly speeds is a tremendous amount

66
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: of money for the local governments. And that's the point

67
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: of this. Laura Friedman is a complete and utter phony.

68
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: She knows it's about collecting the fine money for the

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: people who casually speed. It's not about going after the

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: whack jobs you see on the freeways on Friday night,

71
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: because there's no law that's ever going to stop them.

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: She responded to that this is not meant to be

73
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: a cash cow. These are not revenue generators. The money

74
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: collected and fines has to be used to pay for

75
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: the system. Anything left over, that's one of your favorite phrases, John,

76
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: will be put into traffic calming measures, speed bumps, flashing

77
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: speed in limits, signs and crosswalks, oh more, impediments to driving,

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: more of those bike curbs that they believe. Centemonica say

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: you need to be calmed. Listen to you. We don't

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: need to be calmed.

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: The only reason we've got more people getting run over

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: is we have more homeless people stumbling around whacked out

83
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: on meth.

84
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: That's why take take.

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 1: The homeless out and I bet you the uh traffic

86
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: fatalities go down, and they're not happening in most neighborhoods anyway.

87
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: Most of the deaths are happening, you know, near the

88
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: homeless encampments. They're not happening in normal suburban neighborhoods where

89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: normal people live.

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: Well, they claim that nationally, pedestrian and the road deaths

91
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: are way up in the last couple of years. Show

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: me that, Show me get started with the pandemic. Nobody

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: was on the road. So the people that are on

94
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: the roads, we're going on hundred miles an hour. You

95
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: don't want just thrilled to be able to speed. You

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: know what, if you live in LA I don't believe

97
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: their numbers. I want to see the names of the people.

98
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: I want to know what they were doing when when

99
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: they got hit. Oh they climb. Some of it's the

100
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: street racing too well, street racing that's a sick oh culture,

101
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: that's got nothing to do with my neighborhoods. Those street

102
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: the speed cameras up where the street through street racers are.

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: It's always a certain intersections, right they take over and

104
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: start of doing that. It's because they won't prosecute.

105
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: You know that that you could prosecute all those speed racers.

106
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: You could confiscate their cars, tell them away, confiscate them,

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: sell them, let them get crushed into uh into metal

108
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: boxes in Mexico somewhere. You can destroy those cars, and

109
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: that would that would end it, and those guys started

110
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: losing their cars. Street racing would end in about five minutes.

111
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: They don't want to have said. They want to use

112
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: that as a pretext for taking fifty bucks from me

113
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: and you and every other normal person in the world

114
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: who doesn't stumble whacked out on math in the middle

115
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: of the street, and who doesn't street race on a

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday night. We don't do this stuff. But

117
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: if we casually speed in a neighborhood, now they're gonna

118
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: want fifty dollars. And what I can't stand is this phony.

119
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: Laura Friedman, who's going to stand up there and look

120
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: like the protective mother bear looking out for all the

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: children at risk because of all the bad guys out

122
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: there speeding, Right, She's the savior, She's gonna protect us

123
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: all this is just this a money grab. It's always

124
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: a money grab. Why why are there fines? Why why

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: are the fines so so big?

126
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: Well, the first time you do it, there's no fine,

127
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: just a warning.

128
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: But after that and I don't I can't stand living

129
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: in a society already with cameras everywhere.

130
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: Now, is this points on your license? I don't see

131
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: that it is. I don't see that here. You know

132
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: that whole thing. We have to go to traffic school

133
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: all that year. Usually speeding is points. It is points

134
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: that doesn't you say that in the story. Yeah, Oh,

135
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: she's claiming that cities that have speed cameras have reduced

136
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: traffic fatalities Portland forty six percent drop after they put

137
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: in speed caut I'd like to see the proof of that.

138
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe that these people lie all the time.

139
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: They'd lie constantly. Remember when when Mike Bonnen was was

140
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: trying to come up with statistics to prove that his

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: road diet was necessary to remove lanes of traffic.

142
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he came up with all sorts of ridiculous

143
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: So we did an investigation and they were lies. I remember.

144
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of what he did in

145
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: case you forgot, because this goes back about six years.

146
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: But there was a person who was run over and

147
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: killed on uh on a dark road along the beach

148
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: near El Segundo, ply A Vista, that area that's to

149
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: del Mark.

150
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah it was.

151
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: It was like two in the morning. They were walking

152
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: back from a bar and they were walking in the street.

153
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: Oh that while area with Darwinism, because that's got two

154
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: or three lanes in each direction, and idiots were trying

155
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: to just run over to the beach.

156
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Mike Bond and the liar used that example to remove

157
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: a lane of traffick during rush hour and it caused

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: a huge backup on Venice Boulevard, huge backup in all

159
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: four directions in that area in Plya del Ray. And

160
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: his defense was, well, this guy who got run over,

161
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: well he was run over two in the morning on

162
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: another road where there's not much lighting and he just

163
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: was stumbling home from a bar and he got run down.

164
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: So hey, don't walk on the road at two in

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: the morning when you're when you're intoxicated. Then you will

166
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: get run over by another car. But you don't have

167
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: to te he tied up, He tied up the rush

168
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: hour traffic.

169
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: That's that's they are liars. They made so we got

170
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 2: that removed. That's what you have to do. You have

171
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: to get media attention. You have to fight back like

172
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 2: that RV encampment and Silmar people are fighting back. That's

173
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: going to get removed eventually.

174
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: Here's another thing that's causing traffic fatalities, people staring at

175
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: their stupid screens, between homeless bums stumbling around drunk and on.

176
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: One of the major other factors is everybody's looking at

177
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: their screens while they're driving. And we all know this

178
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: is going on. So they're touling down the road and

179
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: they're looking.

180
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: I see people looking down, watching videos, reading texts every day.

181
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: I actually this is the game I play.

182
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, especially when I'm waiting to make a

183
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: left turn on Sunset Boulevard right near my house, and

184
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: there's a stream of traffic, rush hour traffic going by me.

185
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: And so I'm sitting there waiting to make the left turn.

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: Here comes in the car, car car, you KNOWX. A

187
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: couple of dozen cars will go by and I'm looking

188
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: and I'd say about a third of them have their

189
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: heads down looking at a screen. So this is just

190
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: an opportunist. This Laura Friedman just wants to steal money

191
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: from you.

192
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 2: When we return. Speaking of money, you could get some

193
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: reveal another keyword Tohnny Ken k if I AM six

195
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

196
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

197
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: Coming up after two thirty. You gotta hear this story.

198
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: The San Francisco Chronicle did an in depth series of

199
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: stories on the drug problem in San Francisco. Certain neighborhoods

200
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: have been overrun, particularly with fentanyl. They traced a lot

201
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: of it back to a little village in an area

202
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: in Honduras. That's where many of the dealers are coming from.

203
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: It's so bad and it's so good a trade for

204
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: these citizens of Honduras that they're sending money back home

205
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: and it's resulting in a real estate boom in this

206
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 2: area of Honduras. Oh really. And it's of course San

207
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: Francisco's sanctuary city policies which help make this easy for

208
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: the drug dealers who migrate from Honduras to San Francisco,

209
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: because even if they get caught, they're often just kicked

210
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: right back to the streets free right. And they can

211
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: tell you all about this.

212
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: They can energize the Honduran economy by killing Americans here

213
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: on the streets of San Francisco.

214
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: And we heard this. I wasn't sure when you were

215
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: out or you were here. I had a guest who

216
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 2: said many of the dealers are migrants, and I was

217
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: like really, and they said yes. They didn't say Honduras,

218
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: but they said they're often it's migrant dealers. So you

219
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: knows whacked out people in the Tenderloine.

220
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: London Breed said that one day and they started screaming,

221
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: aging racist, racist chef. She was telling the truth. In

222
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: this district, it is Honduran illegal immigrants that are in

223
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: charge of much of the drug trade.

224
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: The word got back that this is a way to

225
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: make money, so more and more people migrated. They actually

226
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: traced it back to one guy in particular, who is

227
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: who did this first. You're not going to believe what

228
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: we can do in America. We get we kill Americans,

229
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: and then we'll send the money back home so you

230
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: have a better life. I thought it was all oppression

231
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: there in Honduras. I guess not.

232
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: I guess they've got some kind of economic resurgence thanks

233
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: to all the drugs that the attics in San Francisco

234
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: use Today.

235
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: The former Manson family member Leslie van Houghton is a

236
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: free woman, Isn't that sick? He's seventy three years old.

237
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: She was serving a life sentence for a role in

238
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: the murders of Leno and Rosemary Lebianca in nineteen sixty nine.

239
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: Is part of the Manson murders of that year, and

240
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 2: she was actually one of the killers.

241
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: She was she stabbed. She wasn't a hanger on. She

242
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: stabbed I think that woman, Rosemary la Bianca.

243
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: She said, she yeah, she says, after her partner Charles

244
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: tex Watson stabbed Rosemary la Bianca. He handed her a knife.

245
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: She stabbed the woman at least fourteen more fourteen times

246
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: and severed her spine. All right, So this Leslie van

247
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: Howten actually severed the spine and murdered a woman willingly,

248
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: and Gavin Newsom is letting her go. Yeah, he's blocked

249
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: this before, but not this time. Not this time. The

250
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: parole board keep giving her parole and he was denying it,

251
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 2: but this time he's not going to stand in the way.

252
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: This is another misdirection play. Who puts these people on

253
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: the parole board. Who appoints the parle board? No, well,

254
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: apparently what happened was he got overruled by a California

255
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: appeals court earlier this year, and he's decided not to

256
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: challenge the appellate court decision.

257
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: But he has been the governor now for five years

258
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: lieutenant governor before that, and he and Jerry Brown dismantled

259
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: the entire justice system. The governors appoint the pro board members,

260
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: so you.

261
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: Have since is the first time a court has overruled

262
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: the governor's denial a parole to a Manson follower. It

263
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: was the second District Court of appeal. I mean, I

264
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: can't believe I lived long enough to see a Manson

265
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: follower who actually participated in a murder get released and

266
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: Newsom surrendered. He wouldn't he wouldn't do the final appeal.

267
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: I don't.

268
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: There's no argument as to why you should keep somebody

269
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: like Leslie van Houton in prison. Really, Let's let's go

270
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: through the fourteen stab wounds, let's go through the severed spine, let's.

271
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: Go through the woman dying on the floor of her

272
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: own house. Well, we're in an era in California now

273
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: where there is no such thing as life without parole.

274
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, and who's set that up? Newsom and the legislature.

275
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Who who appoints to the parole board?

276
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: Newsome? You know he sits there going not my responsibility, No, no, no,

277
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: it's you. It's you.

278
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: It is you. You signed all this crap. Jerry Brown

279
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: signed a lot of crap. No, I mean, I mean

280
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: he is heinous. He is an absolutely evil, heinous person.

281
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: And he spends his nights watching Fox News and there

282
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: it's always good to watch tonight. And they're gonna say, well,

283
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, Newsom, what imagine Keller ratt and what's he

284
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna do?

285
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: Get upset? Well, this is against your that he wouldn't

286
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: do anything that hurts his run for the presidency. They said,

287
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: use this against him. Yeah, he let a Manson killer out. Yeah,

288
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: if you can't not try to block her parole again,

289
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: if you can't run against that, Seriously, if you can't

290
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: mount a campaign against Gavin Newsom, you should just jump

291
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: off a bridge and end it. And you can't give

292
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: many wiggle rooms. He can't.

293
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: He can't blame the legislature, he can't blame the Pearl Board.

294
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: He is intimately involved in every step of the way

295
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: of destroying the justice system for the last five and

296
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: a half years.

297
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: When we come back. Many of the drug dealers that

298
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: are affecting the streets of San Francisco, certain neighborhoods overrun

299
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: by zombie out drug addicts. Many of them come from

300
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: a small village, small area of Honduras. We'll talk about

301

Speaker 2: homes in RhE that stands for Rolling Hills Estates. It's

313
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: in the Palace Forrites Peninsula. These houses are collapsing in

314
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: a canyon area of Rolling Hills Estates and many of

315
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: them are already well, they've given up. They're eventually just

316
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: probably going there's nothing that can be done. We'll talk

317
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 2: about this with the CAFI News reporter Corbyn Carson in

318
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: about thirty minutes and find out how this could have happened.

319
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Residents are shocked, but if you look at actually the topography,

320
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: it's not all that hard to believe. And we'll get

321
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: into that coming up next hour. Well, we'll get to

322
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: dig into this story now. The San Francisco Chronicle has

323
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: done a year huge series of stories about, of course

324
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: the drug problem in the city, in the Tenderloin and

325
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: another neighborhood called South of Market. There are of course

326
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: many atticts in the streets and how do they addict

327
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: get their drugs, Well, they get them from the drug dealers.

328
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: Often the drug is fentanyl, which can be very addictive

329
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 2: and very dangerous. And when they decided to do this story,

330
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: one thing they discovered many of the drug dealers in

331
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: San Francisco are all coming from the same place, like

332
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: the same town in here. Yeah, it's called Siia Valley,

333
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: a cluster of villages about eighty miles north of the

334
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: capital of Honduras. And you know, you see those stories

335
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: that we were talking about seven elevens. Today you often

336
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: see that there are sometimes migrants and sometimes they are

337
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: either Indian or Pakistani that work in seven elevens. Often

338
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: what happens is people back home find out that this

339
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: has become a pretty good way to make a decent living,

340
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: and they migrate to a American and they get their

341
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: own franchise. Well, the same thing happened here in a

342
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: very negative way with drug dealing. This little village cluster

343
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: of villages in Honduras. People found out that one guy

344
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: makes three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. You

345
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: know how far that goes in these tiny villages in Honduras.

346
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: Three hundred and fifty.

347
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars, that's like getting tens of millions of dollars.

348
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: There are homes, and one of them is a mansion

349
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: in one of these villages. And guess what they have

350
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: on them? A San Francisco Giants logo on the balcony ceiling,

351
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: two forty nine er logos on the front gate. CITC

352
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: Center splay across the security bars.

353
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: To think of all the lies that were told about

354
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: the migrants leaving their oppressed villages and violence, and they

355
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: come here and all they want is a chance at

356
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: freedom and hard work.

357
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 2: Well, they the Chronicle pointed out most of the migrants

358
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: do not engage in drug dealing. Honduran migrants.

359
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they found but two hundred, two hundred migrants

360
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: charged in San Francisco just since last year, since last year.

361
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that number does not include Honduran dealers who

362
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: were convicted in previous cases or others who have never

363
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: been arrested.

364
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: One dealer from the Sharia Valley who got to San

365
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: Francisco in two thousand and four said as a child

366
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: he would watch as others return to Honduras after selling

367
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: drugs in the Bay Area. They were popular because of

368
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: the cars and money, so everybody wanted the same.

369
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: As you can work on the farms in these villages,

370
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: but you are going to make a pittance.

371
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: Could work for ten thousand years and not make the

372
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: money you could make it in a single year here, right.

373
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: So when word gets out, oh it's eight dollars a

374
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: day doing farm work there a typical residence.

375
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: You know how many people died in San Francisco from

376
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: drug overdosis, two thousand, two hundred, two thousand, two hundred,

377
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: and now you have these these two hundred guy as

378
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: arrested who are bringing and we're making six figures themselves,

379
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: potentially killing the other, killing San Franciscans.

380
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: The other advantage to San Francisco is because of its

381
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 2: sanctuary city status, there's a very low risk of getting

382
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: any jail time and really no risk of being deported.

383
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: So that's another reason why the migrants have come to

384
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 2: San Francisco from Honduras. Not only they make a lot

385
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 2: of money, but to face few consequences. They actually call

386
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 2: themselves hondos. The drug dealers here's selling drugs in the

387
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: Bay Area and open markets.

388
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: All right, So in case you haven't gone to San

389
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: Francisco in a while, here's what you're gonna find. A

390
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: man in his early thirties lay motionless on a sidewalk

391
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: outside the Federal Building. On his right, a dozen users

392
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: smoked fentanyl and crack cocaine or they were hung bent

393
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: at the waist, heads suspended at their knees. To his left,

394
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: a handful of dealers hooked in black except for the

395
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: space around their eyes. They continued selling while a passerby

396
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: revived the man with Narcan.

397
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: There you go? Gee? Why are all the conventions canceling

398
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: in San Francisco? That sounds lovely? Oh yeah, apparently even

399
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: meta cancel the big convention in Can you believe that

400
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 2: it's something called red hat? Do you know who they are?

401
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 3: Other?

402
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: Tech Yeah, technic, Yeah, even Zuckerberg is gonna have is

403
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: not gonna come there. No. The chronicle says almost all

404
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: of the alleged dealers are released on their own recognissance

405
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: before trial, which means they do not have the post bond.

406
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: They may be required to check in regularly with a

407
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: case manager. Some get assigned to diversion programs or have

408
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: charges dismissed, and others just plead guilty to lesser non

409
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: drug charges.

410
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: Okay, and here's where Wolke politics gets in the way.

411
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: The uh San Francisco leaders, Well, let me rephrase this.

412
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: It says the Hondurans have been around for a while,

413
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: but their presence and relatively recent rise in the city

414
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: have never been explored in depth and are poorly understood. Oh,

415
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: everybody there, everybody at the San Francisto Chronicle, all the

416
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: TV stations. Oh the police, no, police know, all the politicians.

417
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: They knew that this was a Hondurans, Honduran men coming

418
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: here and killing the locals.

419
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: They knew this.

420
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: But get this, London breed the mayor was called xenophobic

421
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: and racist for saying last fall that a lot of

422
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: the dealers are Honduran. She later apologized, saying it wasn't

423
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: her intention to single out one community or place the

424
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: blame solely on them.

425
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: Well, the Chronicle has this. If you print out this

426
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: story at seventeen pages, it's seventeen pages.

427
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: She was right, a lot of them are from Hondura.

428
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: She was telling the truth.

429
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: And listen to this weasel, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott.

430
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: There's no value in studying the demographics of potential offenders.

431
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: Oh yes, there is throat coming from the same village.

432
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: You block them, deport them. Yes, they're legal aliens from

433
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: the same village, and they're making three hundred and fifty

434
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year. You have to cut back on

435
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: their huge income sources because the word continues to get

436
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: back to these villages, you got to go to San Francisco.

437
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: It's easy money. The Chronicle actually traced this to Dealer zero,

438
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: Alejandro Velasquez. Apparently it came to he ended up in

439
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: San Francisco almost by action. He was trying to get

440
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: to Atlanta. It's a long story, but he ended up

441
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: in the mid nineties. He came from a tiny village

442
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: called El Pedernal to sell drugs in San Francisco. It

443
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: was a series of travel mistakes and eventually he was

444
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: wandering around in San Francisco and a guy said, hey,

445
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: want a job, and what do you think. The job

446
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 2: was Dylan drugs and he started to do well, and

447
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: he sent money home and he came home to visit,

448
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: and word got around. In fact, in August of twenty nineteen,

449
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: his daughter and her husband were swept up in a

450
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: federal crackdown on tenderloin drug dealing. He didn't want to

451
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: talk about her in this interview the Chronicle Act she

452
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: went to interview him, and he says, I never meant

453
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: to get to convince other people to come to San

454
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: Francisco to sell drugs. And that's a dark period of

455
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: my life. I actually really work construction in Atlanta, Okay.

456
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 2: But the fascinating story about how he was one of

457
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: the first to make people aware in these villages in

458
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: Honduras that San Francisco's bed place to make big bucks

459
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: by selling drugs. And now they have bodies stacked up

460
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 2: all over the place, and all these zombies bent over

461
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: at the waist, their heads between their knees, whacked out

462
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: on fentanel, probably more of them on trank now, so

463
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: their their skin is rotting, they have their their open

464
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: rotting sores. Well, people are desperate in that country for income.

465
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: It's a very, very poor place. Hondoras is one of

466
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: those Central American countries that sends a lot of migrants

467
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 2: to the US. You can only imagine when somebody comes

468
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: back and buys a mansion. It's leading to some sort

469
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 2: of real estate boom in the area because they're sending

470
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 2: money back and people are buying better homes. Yeah, someone asked,

471
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: how did you do that? Oh, my nephew, he's a

472
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: dealer in San Francisco. All right, I'm gonna send my kid.

473
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: There's big money in killing Americans, you know, kill American

474
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: drug addicts. You're gonna you're gonna be uh a king

475
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: well down in these little village.

476
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Dumb enough to accept this in San Francisco. That's the consequence. Yeah,

477
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: people are gonna die and they aren't dying. That's such

478
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: a compassionate place San Francisco, isn't it. So if you

479
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: want to read these stories in the Chronicle it's fascinating.

490

Speaker 2: that's on the Palace Fortes Peninsula. Corbyn Carson's covering this

492
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: story for KFI News. I'll bring us up to date

493
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: and the conditions there after the news at three o clock.

494
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 2: We've joked about, well, we were just talking about how

495
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: Meta is not coming to San Francisco for their annual

496
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: conference or convention. That's a big loss Meta. The tech

497
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: people there're San Francisco, they're a free to get it killed.

498
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: It's just not a pretty place right now. Exactly. I

499
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: wouldn't go on a convention in downtown San Francisco. Of course,

500
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: meta war Zone beget this idea from Mark Zuckerberg that

501
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: the future was all about the metaverse. The idea was

502
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: to create virtual cities, virtual offices, all sorts of places

503
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: where people could put on the headset and go and engage,

504
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: I guess in a fantasy life. Well, as we told

505
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: you before, this has bombed horribly. They spent a lot

506
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: of money on this, and the thought at the time

507
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: is that the metaverse would bring businesses five trillion dollars

508
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: in value. Everyone thought this was going to be the

509
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: next big thing, the Metaverse.

510
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: By the way, the company that thought that the Metaverse

511
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: was going to bring five trillion dollars of value was McKenzie.

512
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: McKenzie is the largest business consulting firm in the country.

513
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: Pete boodag Edge worked for worked for them, and they're

514
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: the ones that all the big companies hire to help

515
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: streamline their operations and squeeze more and more efficiency and profit.

516
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: There's no bigger they named than McKenzie. So they led

517
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: this incredible hype parade and it was all nonsense. It

518
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: was all bs.

519
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: City City Bank valued it the Metaverse at thirteen trillion dollars.

520
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: There was a report by Insider that's something called the

521
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: d Central Land, arguably the largest and most relevant metaverse platform,

522
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 2: had only thirty thirty eight active daily users thirty eight.

523
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: The Central Land is where people were building fake cities,

524
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: fit shopping centers. The companies were spending millions of dollars

525
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: buying up real estate. There was a whole market for this.

526
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: This was going on for several years because they wanted

527
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: to plant their flag and claim the land in decentral land.

528
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: I know this sounds nuts, but really this was happening.

529
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: Companies and people were spending millions of dollars. The way

530
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: if we suddenly there was there was a new I

531
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: don't know what's the analogy for this. Let's say they

532
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: say they found a new tropical island with beautiful weather.

533
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: What would happen?

534
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: All the hotel companies would claim lots on the island

535
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: to build new hotels and new resorts and new restaurants.

536
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: And knew this and new that well this was it.

537
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: This was this was all virgin.

538
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: Territory that they thought billions of people were going to

539
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: move to and spend all their waking hours in. Because

540
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: this is not a Zuckerberg was, you know, one of

541
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: the co founders of Facebook. A lot of the media

542
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: got caught up in the idea that the metaverse was

543
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: going to be the next big thing. The Guardian reported

544
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: that one of the features designed to reward users and

545
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: Meta's flagship product, Horizon Worlds, produced no more than four

546
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy dollars in revenue globally thirty eight active users,

547
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: four hundred and seventy dollars, four hundred and seventy. That's

548
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: how big a bomb this was around the world.

549
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: And Zuckerberg spent tens of billions of dollars on this.

550
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: I know. That's where a lot of his fortune went.

551
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so that's why his next project was to

552
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: copy Twitter, because he's out of ideas, because nobody cares

553
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: about this stuff except the weird old techno geeks like him.

554
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: I never heard of a single person talk about the

555
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: other literally, okay't wait to go to the metaverse. And

556
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: from what I er, I thought it was going to

557
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: appeal to basement in cells and there wasn't enough of

558
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: them either.

559
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: I get Yeah, those were the thirty eight. Because last

560
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 2: time we talked about this, some of the guys would

561
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: go in there and take on an avatar and act

562
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: really dirty, right or something.

563
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And it was like looking at a cartoon,

564
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: but nobody had legs. Seriously, you could get your avatar

565
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: to represent.

566
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: All that money. Nobody had legs. No, no, I.

567
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Understand because in every cartoon I've ever seen since I

568
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: was a little kid, everybody had legs. But somehow they

569
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: couldn't make legs for the metaverse.

570
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: It's it's all this.

571
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: These virtual cities, virtual offices were all going to be

572
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: funded with cryptocurrency and supplied with nft rts. Yeah, yeah,

573
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: all the great scams of the century, cryptocurrency, NFTs, the.

574
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: Metaphors, bungible, whatever this was. This was like an orgy

575
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: of all the great scammers in the world. All right.

576
