1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm watching. Uh, I'm watching Biden by Tacos. Not

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: look at that. They're laughing. I heard him a little

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: clip to him today. God did he sound tired and feeble.

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: He's got Karen Bass in tow. They went to a

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: place called Tacos nineteen eighty six and Westwood for a

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: takeout order and he's standing there with sixty bucks to

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: hand over in the Oh jelf sheer says, yeah, it's

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: your public service, forget it. But he goes and been

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: for the next customer left the tip. You're in public service. Yeah,

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: that's our public servant. Yeah. Karen Bass and her white outfit,

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: they're still wearing that white for the women's kind of

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: is that right? Oh? I think she wore it every

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: debate like a white outfit. Didnt's start with Hillary years ago?

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: And I don't know it's supposed to signify what women's severance,

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: women's sufferance. I'm suffrage is sufferance, women's efforts, they suffered,

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Jack Open or whatever the last thing I keep track of. Yeah,

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I thought he was you know, he was supposedly going

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: to look at infrastructure, and I guess he is, like

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: the metro stations in Westwood is what we've learned, so

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: i'd say Westwood, Brentwood. It's kind of like run on

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: the edge of that. But when I heard he was

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: going to the VA Center, I thought he was going

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: to go look at your homeless problem. But I guess not.

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Now all those guys are penned up behind the gates. Now, yeah,

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: but they should still go there, and you know, review

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: the situation. They're still homeless just because they're penned up

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: in gates. They don't care. Nobody cares. They're penned up

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: in these tiny homes. Although you remember that that big

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: fire that ripped through all the tiny homes on the

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: VA property. Yeah, years ago. Do you know somebody was

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: interviewed about that, one of the I guess one of

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: the guys who lives there, and he says, one of

33
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: the problems is everybody's a hoarder. So all the little

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: boxes that people live in, they're all filled with all

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: kinds of garbage and junk, and that's why you know,

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: there was so much to burn inside the homes. Now,

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: this always happened to homeless encompas, So they took all

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: their all their insanity and their hoarding and their weirdness.

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: And now now it's on federal land there but behind gates,

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: and you know, now you can you can have dinner.

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: I want to san Via Santa and most of the

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: time not be bothered by these greeps. Yeah, I know,

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I know you think it's an improvement. It's an improvement,

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: but how long before that falls apart and people just

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: start wandering outside again and camping. It still happens. I

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: mean the last time he went to a restaurant across

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: the street a few weeks ago, there was a guy

48
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: who we were sitting on the outside sidewalk area and

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: he stuck his head through the opening in the fencing,

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, and and and started started, uh started demanding money,

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: and I had to go get the manager and he

52
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: was escorted away. Oh it was like like he was

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: a prisoner. And the sticking his head out through the game.

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Well from the outside in you know how they have

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: those little uh outdoor rectangles and they have like wooden

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: fences that go maybe about three feet high. Then there's

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: an opening and then there's a roof. Oh you know,

58
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: and you dine there and you could see out the

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: traffic through the through the opening. So he stuck his

60
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: head through the opening our way. Oh well, he means,

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: then you complained. Well, yeah, it was scary, poor man.

62
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: He was big and harry and I'm trying to get

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: a little something to eat, not from me. You report him,

64
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: that's right, picked the wrong guy. I hold up a sign,

65
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: Like when I see homeless people, you know, at the

66
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: bottom of a freeway ramp, and they want they've got

67
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: their little life story. I hold a sign and I say,

68
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: no way, don't even ask. Yeah, the new one. I

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: it's not a new one, but I ran into one

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: that's walking in traffic with the sign where he's trying

71
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: to collect money for a child's funeral. That one, that's

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: a good one too. It's like a picture of a

73
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: child and please donate to Megal's services. Yes, family, there

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: there's three guys, uh, not far from me, who'll hold

75
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: up a sign there. They've been trying to bury their

76
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: mother for months. Oh it's their mother, okay, yeah, And

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm want to lead out the window and say, oh,

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: come on, she's got to be in the ground by now,

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: well unless they have her on ice. But they can't

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: unless you put her in the freezer. I think this

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: is a bogus sign. UH. Back to UH. The La

82
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: City council situation. We got word that tomorrow's La City

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Council meeting is a no go. It has been canceled.

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: They tried twice this week to hold city council meetings,

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 1: but the protesters will not give up. Into All three

86
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: of these council members resigned and the only one that

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: has we still know of is Nori Martinez. Kevin Di

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: Leone is hanging in there. Gil Sadio's hanging in there.

89
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: We're wondering why. But it's possible that neither one of

90
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: them wants us on their record. Well, I know, I

91
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: think because if they resign, it's like a bargain. It's

92
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: like a plea deal. I played guilty. Well, I don't

93
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: think they think they did anything wrong. They're going to

94
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: eventually probably do some kind of an interview to try

95
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: to explain their way out of this. And you're right,

96
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: some think they aided and embedded the worst of it

97
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: from Nori Martinez, but they made some comments of their own.

98
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about. Let's look it at the other end.

99
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean again, these guys ought to be fired for

100
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: all the horrific things they've done to the state. I

101
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: mean Kevin de Leone birth the sanctuary city bill or

102
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: the sanctuary state bill and SADO drivers for illegal aliens. Okay,

103
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: so they should both be banished from politics for those

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: bad ideas. But put yourself in their place. Nour Martinez

105
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: is the one who dropped the big bombs, right they

106
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: sat there laughing, Well, de Leone made a comment or sidio.

107
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't forget which about the Wahakins. There's a couple

108
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: of things in there about But if you're in a

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: private conversation among your friends, I'm thinking, Wait a second,

110
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm good at my career is over because I made

111
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: a joke in private among my friends. Because there's some

112
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: jerk breaking the law and recording me, I have to resign.

113
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: Why do I have to resign? I didn't break any law.

114
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything that badly. Nary Martinez said all

115
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: of the nasty stuff. And who's the guy who broke

116
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: the law and is getting away with it taping me? What?

117
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to have a private conversation anymore. I

118
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: have to like respond to the thought police, to the

119
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: language police, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

120
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: My whole life. I don't like that personally. It's like,

121
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: I don't think that I've got to respond that every

122
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: word I say and every thought I say in private

123
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: has to go before what the language board somewhere? What

124
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: God are we appeasing appealing to? Here? All right, well,

125
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: now you've crossed over two different things. Are you changing

126
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: your position on all this? Is that? What I mean?

127
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: You're now making a statement that lead these guys alone,

128
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: they were having a private conversation that should have been exposed.

129
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't care what happens to them. I mean, because

130
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: they're politicians and they're public officials, for them to say this,

131
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: they got to go. Except except they all say this

132
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: all day, then everybody should go. But it's different when

133
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: you're a public official. It is completely different than when

134
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: you were a private But I don't think. I don't

135
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: think there's a one of them that doesn't say this stuff. Well,

136
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: all right, then go find the tapes. You may be right.

137
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: I know I'm right, I absolutely know I'm right. Well,

138
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: they're uncovered, you know, they have to be. They are

139
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: what we thought they were. But I'm putting myself in

140
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: their position. Right, what's their argument? It's like Hey, everybody's

141
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: doing this stuff. You want me you know, maybe de

142
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Leon should start ratting out every everything else that he's heard,

143
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: and Sadia should ratt got to have proof, he's got

144
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: to have recordings. He can't just say that this one

145
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: told me that, and this one told me that, and

146
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: the and the recordings are illegal and the people who

147
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: made the recordings ought to be prosecuted. I don't know,

148
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: something something screwy about the whole culture here. I am

149
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: enjoying that they're they're getting tortured by this. You're worried

150
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: about being uncovered in some conversation, aren't you. Oh? I

151
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: know I've said ten thousand dead things and so have

152
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: you to me. So I'm saying the principle of this

153
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: is really crazy. It's not the way the world should be.

154
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: Where everybody has to worry that they're being recorded and

155
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have their lives destroyed. That is a

156
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: totalitarian state. That is beyond George Orwell and the Soviet Union.

157
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that is really that's really insane. Now, Sadale

158
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: really didn't do anything. And another thing they're getting nailed

159
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: on is that, well, they didn't say anything to stop

160
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: New Ray Martinez. It's like, wait a second, that's a requirement.

161
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: Now I've got to police somebody else's language. Well, no

162
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: one's gonna do that, especially if it's people you know

163
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,239
Speaker 1: a long time and they're your friends. In every friendly conversation.

164
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: Are you gonna say now I don't want you to

165
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: say that, or I'm going to leave the room now,

166
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: No one's gonna do that. That's ridiculous. This silence is violence, nonsense,

167
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: which became popular the last two years. Their lives are

168
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: only destroyed by their own words. They do not have

169
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: to resign, and that's two of them are not resigning,

170
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: But the court of public opinion is allowed to make

171
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: a decision. And that's what the court of public opinion

172
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: is saying, please resign. Leave. But they don't have that's

173
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: all that is. It's just free speech against free speech.

174
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: I understand that. But they don't have to listen. That's right.

175
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: But they'll face the consequences eventually. They're not going to

176
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: get elected to anything again. They probably won't have much

177
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: of a public life if that's what they want. Well,

178
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: so you watch that's how people chose to punish them. Well,

179
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Sidio's too old really to run it for anything. But

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: de Leon, I don't know you might make a comeback.

181
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, you will always be hanging

182
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: over him wherever. But do you think everybody who's supported

183
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: him for the last twenty years is really upset with him? Yes?

184
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: I do. I don't. I do, And I think a

185
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't know this side of him. I do. Oh,

186
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I think when you say supported him, yeah,

187
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: some of his close friends when he's hanging out, I

188
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: think I'm saying voting for him because he's he's eventually

189
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna run for office. And he goes, hey, look at

190
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: all the good things I did. Look at all the

191
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: money I brought here. Look look look how I did this,

192
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: that and the other thing. And you turn on me

193
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: because you know, for a couple of comments five minutes ago,

194
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,119
Speaker 1: you said he was the worst with the sanctuary bills.

195
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: He is the worst to me, now you're active. He's

196
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: got a record to run on. Oh, for his own people,

197
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: he does. I'm sure he's brought home a lot of

198
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: money to the district. I'm sure. Yeah. Some of these

199
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: people just float to the top of the bowl. He

200
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: hasn't done much. They they all bring projects back to

201
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: their district, but people don't know that. Do you know

202
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: how much projects Mike Bonnet has brought your district? Do

203
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: you do not know? Oh, he brought homeless encampments all

204
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: over them. But you're talking about something positive. I thought, no,

205
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: I yes, I don't know, but people don't pay attention.

206
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: But I'm saying in a in a campaign, he's gonna,

207
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna. I think he'll come back. We do, and

208
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: I think people will forget his role and Sideo's role,

209
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: and Nouri Martinez is going to be going to be

210
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: stained all right, life, We've got to take a break

211
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: and about this conversation. Who recorded it? We're gonna talk

212
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: more about that because there's a couple of clues in

213
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: an article I'm looking at or I think I have

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: an idea. Johnny ken KF I am six forty live

215
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Sure forget my name, my

216
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: own shoot coming up boy. The ol Skindo Times has

217
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: really been after Karen basson that scholarship. We'll talk about

218
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: it after two thirty. Another little piece of information has

219
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: come forward in the story of Karen Bass and her

220
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: USC School of Social Work. Scholarship she got while in Congress.

221
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: Of course, we're talking about the big story of the week,

222
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: the scandal at La City Council, the resignation of Nourri Martinez.

223
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: The other two were still hanging in there. That's sidel

224
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: and Deleone. So we just called him leone because he

225
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: picked up the de for purposes of political right, you

226
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: were doing that for a while years ago. Then you

227
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: own yes, Yeah, you have to remember it, right, can't

228
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: remember all our material all the time? Uh so. Uh.

229
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: One story today is that will not be an La

230
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: City Council meeting tomorrow. They give up for the week.

231
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna start over again. I guess next week, because

232
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: isn't that these two don't resign, they'll just be people

233
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: standing there screaming at them again. But that's pretty good

234
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: side effect of this, isn't it that to not having

235
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: any meetings. I don't have any meetings maybe for the

236
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Okay, the no business was conductors

237
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: and we can't move forward, that's right. Yeah. I'm still

238
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: trying to heal after reeling all week. Oh I recoiled

239
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: last night. I did recoil. Did they use recoil that

240
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: they have used recoil too. Yes, they have use reeling

241
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: and roiling. You recoil when you were appalled by something

242
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: that's two you do. You physically just jump back and go,

243
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: oh my god, you reel from the shock. You actually

244
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: one day forwarded a story and I I couldn't believe

245
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: was your own words, because you used one of these

246
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: expressions in there. You wrote, this is unspeakable. And I

247
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: saw that. I said, what is he like? Eighty? Like

248
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: an old woman with her pearls. I couldn't figure if

249
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: you typed that in or that was with the story

250
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: this is unspeakable. I love words like that. The Times

251
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: did another story on the source of these recordings of

252
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: the council members. We know it was at the La

253
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: County Federation of Labor offices. We know it was a

254
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: year ago. But who did this? Well, who has released them?

255
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: And it looks like this Reddit account somebody called honest

256
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: finding Dash fifteen eighty one. First, this person back on

257
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: September nineteenth posted like a missive and it's mostly not

258
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: very happy with the La County Federation of Labor quote

259
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: the labor movement is in bed with city Hall. All

260
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: you have to do is is to look close and

261
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: listen to the recording I just received of Ron Herrera

262
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: and Nori Martinez and whoever this has wrote no relation

263
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: laughing out loud, there's there's another Martinez later in this story.

264
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: Oh okay. And then it was some time later that

265
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: they started posting the recordings honest finding continued additional adding

266
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: additional recordings over the next couple of weeks. It was

267
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: three days after the comments he posted he or she

268
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: a fifteen minute clip of these shocking parts of the meeting,

269
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: and then posted additional recordings. Most of them have Harrara

270
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: in them. He's in at least eight of these, and

271
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: that made me believe that whoever did this really has

272
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: it in for the for the Federation of Labor. Well,

273
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: maybe not so much the council members, but they knew

274
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: that the council members would get a lot of public

275
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: attention these these recordings so well, because there's two issues here.

276
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: One and they also think this person's pro Caruso because

277
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: he posted something like Caruso can fire Nori Martinez. But

278
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: that isn't true. But well, it could be a Caruso fan, Yeah,

279
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: but it may be that this guy was sick of

280
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: the corruption between the labor unions and city Hall. And

281
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: so that was because the point of the meeting, right,

282
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: why did he pick that meeting to record? Was he

283
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: recording a lot of meetings, all the meetings, but this

284
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: meeting he definitely recorded and released. And so you have

285
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: to look at the subject of the meeting, and the

286
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: subject of the meeting was them fiddling around with the

287
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: district lines. My feeling is whoever got these recordings or

288
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: made them has been doing this a while and doesn't

289
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: like the relationship between the labor union and city hall

290
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: and then realized this one particular one, the first one

291
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: he dumped, is really good because it's got them being

292
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: racist and so but you know what's so there was

293
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: so much focus on what they said about Mike Bonnen

294
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: and his son and all that that almost lost in

295
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: this is I think the point that this poster had,

296
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: which re and I've touched on many times, that the

297
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: labor union is in bed with city Hall. It gets

298
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: lost in some of the focus on you know, the

299
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: Wahakans and the whole way. Well, they say, okay, this

300
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: is what makes me crazy. Going back to our discussion

301
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: in the last segment, is everybody is focused on language

302
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,359
Speaker 1: and the way people describe those of other races or ethnicities.

303
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: And nobody all week has gotten agitated over the stuff

304
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: that's destroying Los Angeles. One hundred of all the public

305
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: discussion is always about words and slurs and insults, and

306
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, all all the stuff that you you have

307
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: to deal with in the schoolyard, right, but all the

308
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: big stuff that's killing the city. And part of it is, yeah,

309
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: the union controlling city Hall. And and what they remember

310
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: that meeting was about moving the district lines to ensure

311
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: more hispanicity legislators get elected, and and and the hell

312
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: with anybody else. Right, That's that's way more important than

313
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: what these idiots are saying to each other. I guess

314
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: what people see. First of all, it's more attention grabbing, right,

315
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: the slurs, But it also indicates to people the real

316
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: character the person and what they're really about, and what

317
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: they'll do and what decisions they'll make. I guess. So,

318
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: all right, I think they're all Newray Martinez, We're gonna

319

00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: her lying over the scholarship she got from usc which

328
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: looks like a bribe. Looks exactly like the Mark Ridley

338
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: a jury decided not to give the death penalty to

339
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: the Parkland school shooter from twenty eighteen, Nicholas Cruz. We

340
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: will talk about it with ABC News in about thirty minutes.

341
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: Now we turn to the mayor's race and a story

342
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: that I didn't get a lot of attention, and it

343
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: should particularly it's mentioned by federal prosecutors in their case

344
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: against the former or at least for right now off

345
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: the LA City Council, Mark Ridley Thomas, and that involves

346
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: a bribery case concerning his efforts with USC School of

347
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: Social Work. That's right, Ridley Thomas gave Maryland Flynn and

348
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: the USC School of Social Work at nine million dollars

349
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: a county money and returned. Flynn gave Ridley Thomas's dud

350
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: son Sebastian a free scholarship, and right, he got a

351
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: free scholarship, he got some sort of professor position, and

352
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: he got an appointment or a job with some sort

353
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: of nonprofit associated with ye. Right, so he got three

354
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: three things. The parallel to Karen Bass is the scholarship,

355
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: and the Feds mentioned it in their paperwork and the

356
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: prosecution of Ridley Thomas. They drew in Karen Bass and

357
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: what happened with her at USC. She got a free

358
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: master's degree in social work from USC, while in Congress.

359
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: So now questions have been raised about this. The Times

360
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: reported last month that she was awarded a scholarship without

361
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: having directly applied, and that the scholarship, valued at ninety

362
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars, as I mentioned, was drawn into the

363
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: federal corruption case involving the school's former dean, Marilyn Flynn,

364
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: who by the way, did plead guilty in the Mark

365
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: Ridley to case. But the fact that they put it

366
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: in their filings with the case against really Thomas, they

367
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: were drawing a parallel. That's clear that this is sort

368
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: of Marilyn Flynn's pattern of behavior, reaching out to public

369
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: officials seeing if she can entice them. You see, Well,

370
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: if you remember, bass very heartily said that she got

371
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: the scholarship, she applied for it and got it unmerit. Well,

372
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: that isn't true, because she got the scholarship before she

373
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: was admitted to the School of Social Work. And it

374
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: says here that she applied to attend classes on a

375
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: limited status. Limited status means you can take the courses

376
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: without having been admitted to a program, and you are

377
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: barred from receiving financial aid. Yeah, and then the campaign

378
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: provided these documents claiming it was her application for admission,

379
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: but it really it was not. It wasn't and so

380
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: she lied about it, and she said, did some confusing

381
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: paperwork thinking she'd get away with it. She knows what

382
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: she did. The best application is undated and unsigned and

383
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: specifically says she had not applied to the Masters in

384
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: Social Work program but planned to it a later date.

385
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: So she got the scholarship before she got admitted. Well,

386
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: but before she actually filled out an application, now, which

387
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: is what Marilyn Flynn said. Marilyn Flynn said, No, we

388
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: called her and made the offer to her. We knew

389
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: that she wanted to come to our program, and so

390
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: we offered her a scholarship. So why should a congresswoman

391
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: get a ninety five thousand dollars scholarship? That money should

392
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: be for, you know, an eighteen year old that lives

393
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: in Karen Bass's district. Shouldn't go to Karen Bass. Yes,

394
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: someone who has less financial means than pretty well paid congresswoman. No,

395
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: a high paid congresswoman. What do they make? Now? Don't

396
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: they make a couple hundred thousand or something? That? Well,

397
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: I forget but we will be here, all right. Let

398
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: me just further read this It shows that when Bass

399
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: was offered a full scholarship in twenty eleven by USC's

400
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: Social work dean, it was before she'd been accepted into

401
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: the social work master's program. The Time says, in their

402
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: soft language, an unusual sequence events. It raises questions about

403
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: preferential treatment for an elected official. Yeah, I'd say it's

404
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: more than questions. Apparently, Bassis spokeshold did not respond to

405
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: multiple requests for comment. They're gonna They're gonna shut up

406
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: and try to make this go away, because the record

407
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: is the record. One reporter noted that Bastard was in

408
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: a very different financial position than most social work students

409
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: because she had a congressional salary, which by the way,

410
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: is one hundred and seventy four thousand dollars just a

411
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: year just for cash, and a rental property that she

412
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: owned in Sacramento at the time. And so the reporter

413
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: asked whether she had gotten tuition money that should have

414
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: gone to another student, and Bass said, do I feel

415
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: like I took it from someone else? No, Well, it

416
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you feel you did. If there was

417
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: ninety five thousand dollars sitting around, it should have gone

418
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: to somebody else. Why did it go to you? Apparrel,

419
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: She did apply to USC's Masters in Public Administration that's

420
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: different from the School of Social Work, but after she

421
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: found out that as a former USC employee she was

422
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: not eligible for free tuition, she did not continue. So

423
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: she was offered the full scholarship before she was accepted

424
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: into the program. And you have to stress this. The

425
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: ELI time says that's an unusual sequence of events. Yes,

426
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: an unusual sequence of events. Boy, they can always come

427
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: up with euphemisms. How about this. This was a payoff,

428
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: This was a situation because then Bass dutifully sponsored and

429
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: got past a bill so that USC would get millions

430
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: of dollars in federal aid. So so here's what happened.

431
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: She started to look for this degree offered by the

432
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: school's price School of Public Policy would be a master's

433
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: in public administration. But as I said, when she found

434
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: out she had to pay for it, she discontinued her pursuit.

435
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: But apparently Marilyn Flynn found out about her interest in

436
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: a graduate degree and reached out to her about the

437
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: school's Social Work and then offered her a full tuition

438
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: scholarship out of her discretionary funds. So is bass response

439
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: going to be, well, you know, maybe she thought it

440
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: was a bribe on her end, but not on my end.

441
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: I just thought she thought I was an important public

442
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: official who deserved not said this kind of education to

443
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: help further child welfare work. No, no, they know when

444
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: you're getting bribed. It's it's like occasionally we've had politician

445
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: invite us to lunch. We know why they're inviting us

446
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: to lunch in order to get favorable coverage on the air.

447
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: But they don't get that. But about I know when

448
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: some public figure is greasing up to me, and I

449
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: know what they're going for now. Unlike really Thomas, she

450
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: didn't turn around and steer exact contracts to USC School

451
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: of Social Work, but she did participate in national legislation

452
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: that apparently USC was in favor of. I guess the

453
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: way to sponsored a bill that would get USC a

454
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: lot of money. But there were a number of schools

455
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: that we're going to get money, right, you know that

456
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: you made She made sure that she wrote the bill.

457
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: So this was the reward to USC. But you have

458
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: to have a cover story. It's like, well, many universities

459
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: are going to benefit from this. Oh, this was the

460
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: usc payoff, and then and then you throw extra money

461
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: around everybody else too. Well, so far they've not gone

462
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: after her, you know, well they have, really Thomas, although

463
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: they did mention what I think they did this to

464
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: after Marilyn Flint more than Bass. The prosecutors think there's

465
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: something funky in it. Marilyn Flynn said, this was the

466
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: same deal, right, But I think that's gonna be Bass's response.

467
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Marilyn Flynn thought that, But to me, this is

468
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: not a bribe situation. I'll probably be the person who

469
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: gets to the bribe is always going to deny it.

470
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: But I didn't know this woman who was up to

471
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: that type of behavior. I she could say whatever she wants,

472
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: but I think any any rational person would say, wow,

473
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: pretty sweet Dealcared Bascot. All right, we got more coming up.

474
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: It's the John and Ken Show right here on kf

475
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Well,

476
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: the Florida's School Suitor, that's a story that goes back

477
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: almost five years. Already finally got to the penalty phase

478
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: in his trial. This is Nicholas Cruz. This happened on

479
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, Remember that shooting. He's gonna get life in prison,

480
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of family members of the victims and

481
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: of course survivors too, not happy because he killed a

482
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: lot of people and caused a lot of damage, and

483
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: they say there's more. There's there's He's probably killed more

484
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: people than people that are on death row in Florida,

485
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: but he did not get the death penalty. That was

486
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: a big story today. We will talk about it with

487
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: ABC News as Brad Garrett after the Cafie News coming

488
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: up at three o'clock on the John and Ken Show. Well,

489
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: how often does it happen that an animal story crosses

490
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: over with sports? Deborah Mark, Once in a while, Once

491
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: in a while. Did you see the goose on the

492
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: field last night and which people thought was a duck

493
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: for apparently a long time, But it's actually a great duck. Yes,

494
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: the announcers did. Okay, that's clearly not a duck. I

495
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: didn't know what it was, but I thought it was

496
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: a duck. If it walks like a duck, it looks

497
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: like a dock exactly. You know, there's one close up

498
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: shot of where I kind of understand the belief that

499
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: it was a duck because it's the color is a

500
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 1: little It's actually a white fronted goose. That's the breed

501
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: that it is, but it's much be pretty. You know.

502
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it because I didn't watch that live.

503
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: Looking at the video here, it would be kind of

504
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: large for a duck. I would have probably said right

505
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: away that's some sort of a goose. And I guess

506
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: it was flying around and seemed to be not doing

507
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: too well well. It gets disoriented by the stadium lights. Yes,

508
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: they're they're traveling overhead, you know, migrating, and they see

509
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: the stadium lights and it makes makes them dizzy. I guess, Oh,

510
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: you think that's what happened. Oh if somebody speculated that

511
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: with the Avian flu running loose, maybe it was not healthy. Yeah. No,

512
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: it's the lights that tend to distract them. The greater

513
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: white fronted goose is common to California. The Pacific population

514
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: breeds in the Arctic, but they're primarily found in a

515
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: region of Alaska called the Yukon Kushkumwim Delta. But they

516
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: migrate down the Western United States and often into the

517
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: Central Valley in California. Some even go as far south

518
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: as Mexico. And now that it's October quickly turning into November.

519
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: This would be the time that the birds kind of

520
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: fly south. So they think that's what this goose did.

521
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: And then you're right, probably got attracted by the stadium lights.

522
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: That's what the La Autbon Society looks like a good

523
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: landing field. The La Audubon Society said bright lights distrient

524
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: birds that migrate at night, which this species does, right.

525
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: But they also think it might have been tired, and

526
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: that's why I kept landing. Yeah, just look, I feel bad.

527
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: Do you feel bad for the tired? I really do.

528
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: Your empathy is just only for Adam unlimited. Yeah, I know,

529
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I not for people. Well. The funny thing is, though,

530
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: suddenly in the top of the night they were offering

531
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: gooseburgers at one of the snaps. I don't know what

532
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: goosey goose? I think I did a long time ago.

533
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: He really like goose. The goose has served? You had?

534
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: What was it? Was it? I mean it's a bird,

535
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: they said, All sorts of birds are served, right, Okay,

536
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: this poor bird, it was disoriented, right, clearly freaked out

537
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: by being on the field. I didn't eat this goose, no,

538
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: I know, but you see they have feelings, and you

539
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: see that they have concerns and they're they're getting nerve concerned.

540
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: I have like chicken every day, and you can tell

541
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: me the same thing and I would still eat my chickens.

542
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: And goose have to be concerned about well, was concerned

543
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: about where it was it was he was trying to

544
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: make his trip. John, he shouldn't have interrupted the game. Yeah,

545
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: really Yeah, lucky somebody didn't shoot the goose. But apparently

546
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: people were quite taken with it. They thought it was

547
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: really cool. Oh. The announcer said that if the Dodgers

548
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: came back to win the game, and then they went

549
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: on to win the World Series, they got to put

550
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: a goose on the world World Series. Yeah. Yeah, Oh,

551
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: so when the goose landed, it was they were behind

552
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: mind right and right? Yea oh, I see, so the

553
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: was the rally goose right, But it didn't quite work.

554
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: Now for the Dodgers last night, it isn't the pick

555
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: Well geese, I mean I've had Canadian geese is usually

556
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: what I run into. And John remember in New New

557
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: Jersey and we worked. I lived in central New Jersey

558
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: for a time and there was this park I would

559
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: go to, uh, and there was all sorts of disgusting

560
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: Canadian geese. And why do I say that, debor Mark?

561
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: They pooped everywhere there was poop, oh I remember, And

562
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: they were ordering if you came anywhere near them, holy crap,

563
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: they'd come after you. And they were not friendly, bad bowels,

564
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: bad moods. Yeah, so that's why now you you start

565
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: throwing rocks at the geese, right? What? Oh, maybe he's

566
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: maybe I misremembered that he's poking. Okay, I can't see

567
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: Ken doing that, I really can't. I could no. I

568
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: stared him down. I would never throw a rocket animal. Yeah, John,

569
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? But we don't have time for that.

570
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: So what they captured this with a garbage can or

571
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: a bag or something? Is that what they did? Yeah?

572
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: The grounds crew like took a towel, grabbed it and

573
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: then put it in a trash can and then they

574
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: walked into the dugout. I'm assuming fight them. No really, no.

575
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: They said it was very tired. Yeah, oh wow, Yeah,

576
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. If you flew in from Alaska,

577
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't you be tired. They chased after it for a second,

578
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: it kind of flew away and they landed in a

579
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: different spot. Did they put it in a trash can? Well,

580
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: they weren't just going to hold it. They had to

581
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: put it in some sort of contain Yeah, yeah, yeah,

582
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: throw it out and then take it. Some people do,

583
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: I mean, people are hurting animals and no, I'm guessing

584
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: they just went to another part of the park and

585
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: then let it fly off, right, that's what they said

586
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: that they did. They let it fly off and it

587
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: seems to be fine. Um, that's all we know. But

588
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: everyone believes that the poor bird was just completely exhausted

589
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: and it just landed there and that was the end

590
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: of that. Well, it's uh, it's got to go a

591
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 1: long way from Alaska to Mexico. Yeah, unless said, well,

592
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: sometimes they end up in the Central Valley. The experts

593
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: said so, or they could end up this could be

594
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: its final point. They don't all go to Mexico. I

595
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, because obviously a lot of birds

596
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: it's just what like instinct. Yeah, this their genetic instinct

597
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: is to fly south for the winter. But I don't know,

598
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: do they know they actually are in tune with the

599
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: Earth's magnetic field and there's something in the brain that

600
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: helps them guide to where they need to go. Oh,

601
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: is at what it is? Yeah? I know that for

602
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: some birds, Yeah, that the migration patterns are are are

603
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: are almost like hardwired into their heads. And then they

604
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: pick up the rotation of the earth and the magnetic field. Wow,

605
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: they're so smart. No, yeah, they've got something unusual going

606
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: on inside. They don't deserve to be eaten, is what

607
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,920
