1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Moistline is eighty seven

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: seven Moist eighty six. You better call and get on

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: for Friday eight seven seven Moist eighty six. And in

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: a few minutes, The Wall Street Journal has another exclusive

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: inside Boeing's factory. It's even worse than you thought, even

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: worse than previously reported. It's it's fascinating. Really, this is

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: really a bad company. They really have a bad manufacturing system.

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: How can it be worse? John, Well, you'll see it's

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: coming up later in the hour. This I've read this

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: story several times and I'm still not sure exactly well

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: I understand the story. But it's the lecture that this

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: story profiles. UCLA Medical School. They had an event that

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: they scheduled with professor doctor Helena Hansen and the title

15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: of it is Beyond Magic Bullets, Whiteness as a structural

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: driver of the Opioid Crisis. I should say that again,

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: whiteness as a structural driver of the opioid crisis. This

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: is the lecture to the medical students. It was going

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: to be April fourth in person, and you could watch

20
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: on zoom. The particulars have now changed. I guess there's

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: been some backlash. We're going to find out. Let's talk

22
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: with the Caroline Downey, who wrote a piece for National

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Review that was published today. Caroline, how are you?

24
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: I'm great? Thank you so much for having me.

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: Explain what this lecture was supposed to be about, or

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: was supposed to be about.

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Well, like you mentioned, it was hosted as one of

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: the clinical adjacent teaching seminars available to President's professors, faculty

29
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: at the school, doctors farm, you know, pharmacists, technically any

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: of those kind of medical professionals could attend, and the

31
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: idea is to bring in these speakers such as this

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: doctor Helena Hansen, to offer new information about the industry.

33
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: And you know, usually it's patients and their problems and

34
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: its case studies and the treatment that might be given

35
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: as as a result of their particular circumstances. Usually it's

36
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: that it's that kind of informative session.

37
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: What does skin color has to do with theoid crisis?

38
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: Well?

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: Right, so in this case they went full radical politicized,

40
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: bringing racial identity politics into medicine. And it's like it's

41
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: like blaming the African American community for the crack crisis.

42
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: That would be the equivalent. It's just so blatantly racist

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: to have a lecture with this topic and this title.

44
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: But I reported that once they had any scrutiny, they

45
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: completely buffled under pressure and they flipped the topic. They

46
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: changed it to in person only so there's no zoom access,

47
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: probably because they kind of feeling some people would be

48
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: infiltrating and try to get some hot mic moments from

49
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: this lecturer, because no doubt it would be extremely radical,

50
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: it would be extremely politicized and ideological. But this is

51
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: how many prestigious medical schools in America have devolved. They've

52
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: evolved into ideological institutions. I mean, there's other medical schools

53
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: that are far more higher ranked than UCLA that are

54
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: now dabbling into you know, not dabbling. They're embracing gender medicine,

55
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: endorsing the idea that children, you know, as young as

56
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: seven years old or ten years old can undergo life

57
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: altering invasive interventions and surgery. I mean, but this is

58
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: being this is being wholeheartedly, you know, kind of institutionalized.

59
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: In American medical schools. They're promoting the idea that seven

60
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: to ten year olds can have like a surgery already.

61
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I mean it's hard. There's so

62
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: many medical.

63
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: Schools change their gender.

64
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: Yes.

65
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: What this audience seems to know is that America's highest

66
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: ranking medical schools are involved in this pushing of ideas.

67
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely they are, and they've been hijacked. They've been hijacked.

68
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: Same thing with EI diversity, equity inclusion. That is a

69
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: permanent fixture of academia largely, and medical school is not

70
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: immune from that. And you know, but instead of sending

71
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: sociologists or kind of pointless degree holders into society with

72
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: bachelor's degrees, you know, an undergrad these are our nations,

73
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: dop this is the future generation of practitioners.

74
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to go to

75
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: that doctor. I really, I'd be terrified to go to

76
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: a doctor who had these kind of views. Well, right,

77
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: but on the whiteness thing, do we know, does this professor,

78
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: because she's written a book on this topic, is she

79
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: blaming white people for inventing the opioid crisis or white

80
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: people being the primary users of opioids?

81
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: Well, so the problem was the flyer was super ambiguous,

82
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: and I was unable to get into this lecture myself

83
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: because they blocked it off from zoom. Now you have

84
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: to physically attend, so I'm hoping I can get somebody

85
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: to figure out what this lecture is going to be about.

86
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: But I did look into this professor's past literature, and

87
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: she has books that are related to use the term

88
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: whiteness in the context of the opioid crisis, as if

89
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: to attribute attribute that kind of epidemic to.

90
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: Just being white.

91
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: So you know, it's it's extremely inflammatory. I have no

92
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: doubt that, you know, her views are probably held by

93
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: other faculty at the college. She used to teach at

94
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: New York University and YU also a very radical captured university.

95
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: So you know, but this is this is what has

96
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 2: become of America's you know, top grad schools.

97
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: You know, some of these professors that are pushing this

98
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: are older. Did they always have these views? Because a

99
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff and I read about this every

100
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: day like you do, a lot of the stuff I

101
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: never heard of until the last couple of years. And

102
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: then I look at, you know, professor Hanson in this case,

103
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: and I can't give you an how exactly how old

104
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: she is, but you know she didn't graduate college yesterday.

105
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: She must at least be in her forties. I mean,

106
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: has this been being taught for decades under the surface

107
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: and most people didn't know.

108
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: I definitely think the roots go back many years. There

109
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: were certainly subtle, like the subtle springs of what we

110
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 2: would now call DEI and all of its different perturbations.

111
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: But I think the confluence of crazy events around twenty twenty,

112
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: the Racial Justice riots, that massive overhaul of potentially American

113
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: norms because of this like massive racial question that America

114
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: was obsessed with for first the summer and then a

115
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: year later. I think that restructured many parts of American society,

116
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: and it also created a brand new business, a business

117
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: model that is, if we can identify racism in everything

118
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: and then create basically endless conversations around that, there's academics

119
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: who are going to make money off of providing remedies

120
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: to that so called racism that they are finding in

121
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: locations that you know, they're inventing it out of thin air.

122
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: That's why we have DEI consultancies. That's why we have

123
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: doctors like Helen Hansen who apparently focus on the intersection

124
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: between race and medicine. Even though that should absolutely.

125
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: That should not exist.

126
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: That makes no sense, it's not has nothing.

127
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: To do with the well. Medicine should just treat sick

128
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: human beings and then the color doesn't matter at all.

129
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: But I think there's a lot of money in this

130
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: new area must and we've seen you know, we've seen

131
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: that all over the place. So that's I think that's

132
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: why it kind of accelerated, reached a feverish pitch pitch

133
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty and then so on, and now it's

134
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: you know, fully embedded into you know, academia, and there's

135
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: entire debt departments indicated to DEI. So it stands to

136
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: reason that you know, they're going to find it in medicine,

137
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: they're going to find ways to moment it in everything,

138
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, corporate training, whatever it is, you know,

139
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: to pay through twelve, you know, preschool, they're going to

140
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: find ways to embed it. It's kind of like a

141
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a cancer.

142
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: And nobody pushes back at these universities, Absolutely no one.

143
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: I think the students they face retaliation if they object

144
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: to these sorts of things, and I mean they're just

145
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: think about how hard it is to get into medical

146
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: schools actually gain admission. To object as a student is

147
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: to make yourself effectively like a leper, because there's no

148
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: way that all the students are going to rally together,

149
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: even though they should. They're just trying to get They're

150
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: just trying to get the degree, they're trying to get residency.

151
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: They're trying to have their work pay off so they

152
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: can finally become doctors. So I think a lot of

153
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: them they probably are like, what the heck is this?

154
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: But they probably just they do what they got to do,

155
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: and no one's putting up much of a collective fight.

156
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: And I mean there are whistleblowers who expose these kinds

157
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: of things that I've been in touch with many of them,

158
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: but I mean they sase ostracization by their field. And

159
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: because you would not be you would not see would

160
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: be amazed by how many actually pedal this kind of thing.

161
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: All right, Carolyn, thank you for coming on, good stuff,

162
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: Thank you for having your time. Carolyn Downey writing for

163
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: the National Review. But UCLA lecture whiteness as a structural

164
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: driver of the opioid crisis. When we come back, what's

165
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: it like? On the Boeing seven thirty seven production factory line. Well,

166
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: the headlines have words like confusion, disarray, missed procedures. That's

167
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: not what you want to hear about a company that

168
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: manufactures airplanes that fly in the sky.

169
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

170
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: six forty.

171
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: You know, news comes pouring at you all day, and

172
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: often the way it's covered is you get a headline.

173
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: You know, all that door plug blew off the plane, right,

174
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: and you never find out because I always wanted to know, well,

175
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: exactly how did that happen, like when they when they

176
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: built the plane or when they maintained the plane. What

177
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: what was going on in the factory that day on

178
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the production line. What were people saying to each other?

179
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: What what was the moment that something was missed and

180
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: they forgot to put the bolts in and the door

181
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: would fly it out. We're not have the final answer,

182
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: but we're getting there and over the series of weeks.

183
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: Now the Wall Street Journal and the writers Andrew Tangle

184
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: and Sharon Turlep are putting out great stuff. I mean

185
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: they must they must be talking to everybody on the

186
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: production line, and I think you've got all these employees

187
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: whose frustrations have built up for years and they're telling uh,

188
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: tangle and turlp all kinds of stuff. So we're gonna

189
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: put you out of the assembly line. And in Renton, Washington,

190
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: at the Boeing plant where the plane rolled off with

191
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: the bolts missing from the door plug all right on

192
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: September first, they noticed that rivets were damaged on the fuselage.

193
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: And the rivets are like fasteners, they hold things in place.

194
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: The fuselage should come from their supplier factory in Wichita, Kansas,

195
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: Spirit Arrow Systems. So Spirit Arrow Systems assembled the fuselage

196
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: and they sent it to rent In Washington for Boweing

197
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: to do the rest of the work. Then the plane

198
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: rolls out of the rent In factory and eventually you

199
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: fly on it. Well, bad rivets coming from Wichita. They

200
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: had to fix them, and they had a hard time

201
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: fixing them, doing it properly and doing it on time,

202
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: and it got a lot of employees frustrated. And everything

203
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: is documented, everything is written down and situations are given

204
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: are put on special tiers to give them priority. This

205
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: was a Tier three priority. This is supposed to get

206
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: high level attention at the factory. This was the employees

207
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: trying to finish the jet because it was so far

208
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: behind schedule. There was an internal message that was created

209
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: called tier change from two to three with four dollars

210
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: signs meaning we're losing a lot of money here, let's

211
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: fix this. This was on September seventeenth. The Wall Street

212
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Journal says the factory was in disarray. Crews were unable

213
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: to keep to the schedule, didn't follow procedures. Production pressure

214
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: mounted as the delays piled up. According to entries in

215
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: something called the ship Side Action Tracker, this is called SAT.

216
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: Not the exact. This is people right on this internal

217
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: channel to say, hey, what the hell is going on?

218
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: And some people are writing, hey, this is this plane's

219
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: really late. It's costing us money. Someone else is riding hey,

220
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: hey we got to hurry up. Someone else is saying, well,

221
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: we can't hurry up. This is not assembled. Right. Oh,

222
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: they got rivet problems, right. They're arguing with each other.

223
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: But the pressure was always primarily coming from get the

224
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: plane off. The production line workers extended the estimated time

225
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: for completing work fifty times. Fifty times the damaged rivets

226
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: were supposed to be repaired by a deadline fifty times

227
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: they missed the deadline. The rivets in this case were

228
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: specifically around the frame of the door plug. Now, if

229
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: you have fifty complaints, abouts fifty the delays ranged anywhere

230
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: from a half hour to days. So after fifty complaints,

231
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: the work was finally signed off on, officially completed on

232
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: September twentieth, and a final quality check was requested. But

233
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: I guess the final quality check either wasn't done or

234
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: they didn't look at the door plugs, you know. And

235
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: so now you have all these investigations going on, and

236
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: a Boeing spokesman said the company is prohibited by federal

237
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: rules from discussing the investigation. They still haven't talked to

238
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: the supervisor. He's on medical leave. He's been on medical

239
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: leave since the day this happened. He basically went into hiding.

240
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's getting paid. And so the guy

241
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: who might be most responsible for signing off on this

242
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: thing nobody can talk to.

243
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: And I guess we need we need to put him

244
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: on a plane that has missing parts or no screw

245
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: or whatever and see how he would like it.

246
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: You've got to you've got a mean streak, you because

247
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: you're an eye for an eye girl. I know here

248
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: we're putting you on the plane. Mister production manager. You

249
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: don't care about the flying public. And forget, we're not

250
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: even putting a door plug on this one. Okay, good

251
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: luck put a door, no seat belt, grab onto something.

252
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna have an AI pilot. Yeah, but you know

253
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: what it was. It was daily chaos and a lot

254
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: of pressure. And you know, when bosses are screaming keep

255
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: it moving, keep it moving, keep it moving, at some

256
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: point you either lose your focus or you give up

257
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: and say, all right, what the hell, let's see what

258
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: happens on this one. Debra Mark Live, Oh, well, we

259
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: got Steve Gregory coming up. Steve Gregory, Oh you probably

260
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: heard about this. Remember in twenty twenty two, that fifteen

261
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: year old girl who was killed by the San Bernardino

262
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's deputies. Her father had taken police on a chase,

263
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: and they says, you know, they really nobody could tell

264
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: whether she was willfully going along with the father or

265
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: she was kidnapped. And she came out of the car

266
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: started running towards the cops. Was she surrendering? Well, the

267
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: sheriff's deputy shot her to death and there's now a

268
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: video showing her getting hit by the deputy. Steve Gregory's

269
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: on the case. That's next.

270
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

271
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: six forty.

272
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory is here with us because we have another

273
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: chapter in a story that started in September of twenty

274
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: twenty two San Berdan, Nto County on Interstate fifteen in Esteria.

275
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: You may remember the fifteen year old girl that was

276
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: running at police. She and her father had led the

277
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: police on a chase and eventually she was running towards them.

278
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: They thought she was dangerous and shot her death. And

279
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: never have we really gotten the full story on this.

280
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: And I do have to say before Steve starts, Steve

281
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: one nine Golden Mics over the weekend, nine of them

282
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: for all his various reporting and specials, and thank you

283
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: podcast work. And I also need to Jacob Gonzalez is

284
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: my producer. Nick Pouliochini was a producer, and Bart Avery

285
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: helped me in Hawaii. I don't think there's another radio

286
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: news team like you guys anywhere in the country that

287
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm aware of. Well, we certainly did well, and you know,

288
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: Devra got best newscast and Amy King got Best Specialty

289
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: Show for her morning show. So we did. We did

290
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: very well this year. Best news department. Yeah, thank you,

291
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: best news department in the country. All right, let's get

292
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: to let's get to this story because I remember this

293
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: story as soon as I saw this. We did remember

294
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: on the show, but you know, I'd forgotten about it.

295
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: These stories just disappear and then I know. And the

296
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: thing is when these kinds of cases happen, and especially

297
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: ones were like you know, now the Attorney General is

298
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: looking at it because that new law that passed a

299
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: year ago where someone that's unarmed is killed by law

300
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: enforcement automatically elevates or escalates to the Attorney General's office

301
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: and the state will investigate it also, so it is

302
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: also in the hands of the AG's office. As you said,

303
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: could you set up like how she and the dad

304
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: ended up getting well, I was going to say, as

305
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: you might recall, we're going back to September twenty sixth

306
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, the Fontana Police Department had reported

307
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: that Anthony Gratziano had shot his wife to death and

308
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: kidnapped their fifteen year old daughter. When the Amber alert

309
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: had been issued for a twenty seventeen Nissan Frontier. On

310
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: the next day, on the twenty seventh, Well on the

311
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, a clerk at a high desert convenience store

312
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: called nine to one one when he recognized Savannah. Savannah

313
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: happened to be buying snacks. Deputies quickly got to the scene.

314
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: They found the pickup near the junction of Highways three,

315
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: ninety five and fifty eight near barst and then a

316
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: car chase started, and in fact, I remember speeds of

317
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour or so. The chase went

318
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: along Highway fifty eight, then it went southbound on the

319
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: fifteenth through Victorville and right into the Hysperia area, and

320
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: that's when they got the truck got cornered by helicopters

321
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: and chp and San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies. At that

322
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: point there was a shootout. And what was released today

323
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: or actually was released yesterday afternoon, was audio tape from

324
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: the one of the deputies audio recorders on his uniform.

325
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't a body cam, it was an audio recorder

326
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: and that's still standard practice in some departments. And some

327
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: of the radio chatter from the helicopter and from the

328
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: actual scene when they were communicating back and forth. And

329
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: then in this video that was released there's also a

330
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: narrative by a member of the Sheriff's department. So what

331
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: I want to play first is this cut be Eric

332
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: and this is the helicopter uh that you can hear

333
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: a pilot in the in the helicopter talking and trying

334
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: to coordinate all the stuff on the ground. Because by

335
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: now Graziana is now shooting at deputies and deputies are

336
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: shooting back, so now a full blown shootout is in effect.

337
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: And this is just a small clip.

338
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 4: Shots are fired, shots are fired, rolled out out.

339
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: Anyone out any others.

340
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: Now, two things you hear on there, you say, she's

341
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: getting out of the passenger side. She's getting out of

342
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: the passenger side. So what's happening simultaneously on the ground

343
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: is a deputy is screaming for her to come toward him.

344
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: And then did you hear the pilot at the end

345
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: go oh no, he realized she'd been shot and went

346
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: down right. So at this point, the next audio I

347
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: want to play, it's actually uh cut A and this

348
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: is the audio recording on the deputy's uniform. And you

349
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: can hear him, uh really trying to get her to

350
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: come right toward.

351
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 5: Him past the dirk it out, passer it out, get out,

352
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 5: get out, get out, passive, murk it out, get out there,

353
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 5: come here to come to me, Come to me, Come

354
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 5: to me, co co co Cory.

355
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: Stop, clap to your the warm top.

356
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: She's okay, it's in the car. Stop. Well she wasn't okay.

357
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: You hear him say she's okay. I think he's meaning

358
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: she's okay, like he's she's not the target. But you

359
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: can hear she was running towards him, and and and

360
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: he was encouraging her to run towards him. So who

361
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: did the shooting? So here's where the confusion starts to

362
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 1: play in. And from what we can tell now is

363
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: that he was not connected via radio to everybody else.

364
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: So when you hear him communicating, you're only hearing him

365
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: shouting out, just shouting. It's not on the radio, and

366
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: that's why we hear it, because it's on his personal recording. Note,

367
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: they don't know why she's running towards, so it's everyone.

368
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: It's not clear to anyone else why she's running. There

369
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: had been some reports early on that case, if you

370
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: might recall that she might have been complicit or at

371
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: least a will I remember that that she was dressed

372
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: in tactical right now when you look at the video,

373
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: she's got like large loose clothing on her. And there

374
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: had been a suggestion that she was a willing participant,

375
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: even at fifteen years old. So I think there was

376
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: some confusion. And I mean, I don't want to speculate

377
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: on it, it's not my job, but based on everything

378
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: we're seeing, it looks as though there was some major

379
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: confusion on who was the target and who wasn't the target.

380
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: Were they shooting at her dad at that yes, So

381
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: all those gunshots you're hearing while he's yelling at her

382
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: to come to him, all the gunshots, that's the exchange

383
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: between dad and the other deputy, so that the dad

384
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: is still shooting at deputies. But here's the thing that

385
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: I suppose will come out in the investigation is whether

386
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: deputies intended to hit her or whether she was simply

387
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: caught in the crossfire, right, And that's the thing I

388
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: think is going to have to come out in the investigation,

389
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: both on the state and local level. Yeah, I mean,

390
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: he was trying to get her to safety though. Yeah,

391
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: that one deputy kind of realized what was happening. He

392
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: didn't think she was a danger apparently not somebody else did.

393
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Or this was just caught in the crossfire, yeah, because

394
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: dad was firing away. Yeah, And I mean it's the

395
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: whole thing is there's nothing good at this story. I mean,

396
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: there's no up anything. What's happened to the deputy? Since

397
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: has any of them been put up leave? By policy,

398
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: everyone involved in a case like this goes on administrative

399
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: leave until the investigation is complete. The current status of

400
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: the deputies I'm not clear on. All right, well, then

401
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: there's more to come. Yeah, all right, Okay, fascinating audio there.

402
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory Cafi news nine Golden Mics. He went over

403
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: the weekend another Golden Mic winner here. I don't have nine.

404
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't have anything. I know they did not where

405
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: We've never been worthy. We only get we only get

406
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: listeners and bring in revenue.

407
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's that's it.

408
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: The radio industry doesn't understand us. No, I think you're

409
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: very deserving. Well, thank you.

410
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM

411
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: six forty.

412
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: Conway's coming in in a few minutes. Did you see

413
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: that Lebron James is pissed off about squatters in his neighborhood,

414
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't you be? He bought He paid thirty seven million

415
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: dollars for a mansion in Beverly Hills two years ago

416
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 1: and then tore it down and he's building his new

417
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: dream home. It's in the neighborhood of ben Athleck and

418
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez. But two doors from his property, squatters have

419
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: taken over a home and they're throwing cocaine orgies the neighbors.

420
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: Other neighbors were upset, got in touch with Lebron James's

421
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: house manager. Maybe they thought Lebron could get something done.

422
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: And this particular home that's been squatted on, it's four bedrooms,

423
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: six bathrooms, it's worth four million dollars and it's owned

424
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: by a doctor, Muneer Uwaida, who fled the country eleven

425
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: years ago. His girlfriend got murdered and I guess police

426
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: think he did it, and the property was repossessed from

427
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: doctor Uweida and the bank has it now. So in

428
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: the meantime, the squatters have been throwing parties almost every night.

429
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: Rave parties. They start at two am. They run for hours.

430
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: There's been assaults, fires, arrests. Squatters were advertising rooms on

431
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: booking dot com for three hundred dollars a night and

432
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: they would charge guests seventy five dollars entry fees at

433
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: the gate and hundreds of people would show up. This

434
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: neighborhood is so wealthy. Jeff Bezos, Steve Winn, and Rod

435
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: Berkle all have homes with at a half mile of

436
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: this house, and Lebron's house manager had to keep security

437
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: guards at at this house twenty four to seven because

438
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: of the squatter parties. A neighbor said the police could

439
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: not evict the residents. They had driver's licenses using that

440
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: property address and a fake rental ingreements. So even Lebron's

441
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: out of luck, he can't get the squatters out of

442
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. We have conway and time.

443
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 6: Now, Hey, can you imagine telling our grandfathers somebody's in

444
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 6: your house, they won't get out. You imagine how short

445
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 6: that conversation would have been. Like anybody listening right now,

446
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 6: your grandfather was told that there's somebody in their house

447
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 6: and you can't get that, And somebody's at his house.

448
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 6: You can't get them out. They'd be dead and buried

449
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 6: and never seen again.

450
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: And then but what happened is and this is the

451
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: new world. They'll get sued for having removed the person

452
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 4: who is in the house illegally.

453
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: Right, that's great. It's craziness on craziness. It's wild.

454
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 6: This Friday, there is a star on the Hollywood Walk

455
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 6: of Fame being dedicated to a friend's dad, guy named

456
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 6: Charlie Fox. You may know him. He wrote that song

457
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 6: killing Me Softly. Maybe you've heard that?

458
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: Wow?

459
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 6: Yes, he also wrote the Laverne and Shirley theme song

460
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 6: Happy Days Love Boat.

461
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: I've always wondered, not that you'd know, like, how much

462
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: money if you had a really big hit song, right,

463
