We will talk again about the release 13 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: of the video and some of the audio from the 14 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: nine to one to one call made from the Pelosi 15 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 2: home when he Paul Pelosi was attacked last October by 16 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: a wacko guy that broke his way into the Pelosi house. 17 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 2: That and more coming up. There's been new stories concerning 18 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 2: the Antifa activists Antifa standing for anti fascists. They have 19 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: shown up it appears in Atlanta, Georgia, and one of 20 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: them was shot to death in a confrontation with police 21 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: and that has resulted in a lot of chaos down there. 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: We understand the governor of Georgia has declared a state 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: of emergency for that area as they keep an eye 24 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: on what's going on there. So we're going to talk 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: now to a man that's actually well. He was once 26 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 2: a part of the Antifa movement. In fact, he wrote 27 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: a book Behind the Black Mask, My time as an 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: Antifa activist. 29 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: Gabrielle Nadali's is on with us. Gabrielle, welcome, thank you 30 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: for having me on. It's good to have you on here. 31 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: If I find this fascinating and I very much want 32 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: to read your book, let's start, because we do have 33 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: limited time. What was your road to becoming sympathetic to 34 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: joining antifa? 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: So the best way to really understand antifa is to 36 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: make sure that you distinguish it from the original one. 37 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: The original one comes from the nineteen forties, and it's 38 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: kind of that out of the World War Two, the 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: exception of anarchist groups here and there all throughout the 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: world right. But in the nineteen eighty the anti racist 41 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: action in America and the parallel of the Antifa movement 42 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: in the UK started being formed, and they did quite 43 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 3: a few different things. They would tour around with punk bands, 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: which is music groups to go beat of Nazis and 45 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 3: skinheads right. But in the nineteen nineties the WTO protests 46 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 3: happened and there began to be a solearity among anarchists 47 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: and left wing and radical left right groups. 48 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: And the WTO protest that was the World Trade Organization 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: was up in Seattle. Is that nineteen ninety nine, that 50 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: is correct? 51 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 3: And then from there they're kind of there seems to 52 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: be the solarity. And in two thousand and seven, the 53 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: first anti racist action chapter changed its name to the 54 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: Row City Antifa, which is the one in Portland that's 55 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: been active, continuously active since two thousand and seven. And 56 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: then a lot of these anti racist action chapters changed 57 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: themselves to Antifa, calling their souls Antifa or variations of 58 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 3: that name. And in two thousand and eleven, when I 59 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: first joined, I loved punk music, so I knew a 60 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: lot about history by ANTIFO, the w two protests, all 61 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: of that, so I wanted to get involved. I was 62 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: already an activist. I just showed up to a protest 63 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: where I thought Antipo was going to be. I dressed 64 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 3: in all black and lo and behold that they recruited 65 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 3: me into the movement. 66 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 2: And what were some of your first actions with the group. 67 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: So the first time I ever put on that black mask, 68 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: where I knew absolutely no one, it was actually to 69 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 3: protest the National Socialist Movement in Clairemont, California. This is 70 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: in March of twenty eleven, and I knew that there 71 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: was going to be actual neo Nazis there, so I 72 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 3: figured Antino was going to show up. That's the first 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: time I ever did anything. But it was really just 74 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: that much. 75 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: Were you actually fearful of Nazis spreading across America or 76 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: you were more interested in fighting something anything. 77 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: Well, I definitely think I saw that there was a 78 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: lot of issues out there that I wanted to fight for. 79 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: And when I found out that the National Socialist Movement, 80 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: which is an actual movement that deserves a lot of shame, 81 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: was actually going to do a march in my community 82 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: or like two three cities from where I lived, I 83 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: decided to just show up. And you know, from there on, 84 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: they invited me to a lot of different things all 85 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: throughout southern California with it the animal rights protest, anarchist 86 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: book fairs, or the occupied protests in general that they 87 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: were very big at the time. I put on the 88 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: black masks several different times. 89 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: Did you engage in any violent acts of any kind or. 90 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: So I'm looking that. You know, I was seventeen at 91 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 3: the time. I was definitely not one of the more 92 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: violent persons by any meanings and stuff. I never got 93 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 3: into a fight and altercation. But I do remember in Pomona, 94 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: California again in twenty eleven, I put on the black 95 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 3: mask and I was trying to break down the door 96 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 3: at a courthouse. There's actually a video of this, and 97 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 3: I've showed it around on YouTube. You can't tell it's me, obviously, 98 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 3: because I'm wearing all black and all that, but I 99 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: remember that the police came and there was a horse 100 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 3: mounted police officer, an officer on horsemount and he started 101 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 3: dispersing hard to run away. That's kind of more of 102 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: the screen versions. 103 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: They spend months and months doing this. What did you 104 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: think you were accomplishing? 105 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: You know, it's about what we believe is that it's 106 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: all about incremental values. It's about showing up or putting 107 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: our face out there and making it seem that, you know, 108 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: we're actually doing something. It's all about getting more and 109 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: more people and hopefully we make some sort of action, 110 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: but it's a little bit more vague or when you 111 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: look more towards like your overall arching goals, and some 112 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: of those goals are to get rid of American democracy, 113 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: for example, to establish things such as like anarical cynicalism 114 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 3: or just straight out like sor. 115 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: Right, get rid of American democracy and replace it with. 116 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 3: What with anical cynicalism. Typically that's the most common answer 117 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 3: you'll get. There are some Antifa groups that are more communism. 118 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: But what is that? What is that that word that 119 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: you're using, what what what form of government is? 120 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 3: It's a political theory that basically believes in anarchism. So 121 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: are no leaders, no police officers, none of that stuff. 122 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: But you have typically smallest businesses that are working at 123 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: the very local level, and they're not owned by one person. 124 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: They're typically owned by every single employee. And it's definitely 125 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: it's supposed to be like everybody kind of working together 126 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: to make sure that society is running together. 127 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: It's at its core, it's dismantling our American capitalist system 128 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: that want most of us accept and go on. 129 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 3: Ye. And one of the yeah, and one of the 130 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 3: reasons that is because when you talk to an antifa activists. 131 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: You you would think that antifa means just fighting naz 132 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: he's fighting the KKK. But ever since the nineteen nineties 133 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: at wto protests, it's encompassed a lot more of that. 134 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 3: They believe that in order to fight racism, well you 135 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: have to dismantle capitalism. In order to fight racism and 136 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 3: fascist you also have to fight against corporations destroying the earth. 137 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 3: And those are some of the talking points that you 138 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: will be grilled on with in multiple different conversations. 139 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: It seems like too, they want to destroy police organizations. 140 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and as a matter of fact, when the whole 141 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: defund the police movement came along a few years ago. 142 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, there was an antifa activist 143 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: in who was quitted in the New Yorker. The New 144 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: Yorker asked them, okay, well, why are you trying to 145 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: get rid of the police, And he said something along 146 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: the lines of, well, it's getting us one closer, one 147 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: step closer to anarchism, to getting rid of government and all. 148 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 3: It's very incrementalism type thinking. 149 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: So let me the feelings of most of the public, 150 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: which likes American capitalism, likes their life, likes having police 151 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: protecting them all. That doesn't matter that most of the 152 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: public has no interest in what you're selling. 153 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much, And I mean I love what you 154 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: just said. You know, we just received we put out 155 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: a survey apollon survey at All America, and we found 156 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: out that seventy six percent of Americans support the police tuintifat. 157 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: They don't care. They have a big megaphone and they're 158 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 3: willing to use it. And one of the issues that 159 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: often happens in political debates is that we're always arguing 160 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 3: about very fringe issues that actually very few people support, 161 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: because the police is one of them. A lot of 162 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 3: people don't love the police, yet somehow we're arguing about 163 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: whether we defund them or like. Another one that I 164 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: love is like LATINX. LATINX is not popular within Latino communities. 165 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: Ninety nine percent of Latinos check LATINX, but somehow it's 166 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 3: being forced down the throat of a lot of Americans. 167 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: And one of the issues we've been seeing out our 168 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 3: America is that or we're trying to combat is those 169 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: tiny radical minorities that seem to have this huge magaphone 170 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: and they try to dictate American policy when they just 171 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 3: they're not even that that big. 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: Why does in your opinion, the media amplify all of this, 173 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: all these fringe issues. See, it's pounded into everyone's head 174 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: all day by the media that these. 175 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: Are important things we have to change and. 176 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: These are the proper opinions to have. When When when 177 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: did the media join and why? 178 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: There's a few different reasons for this. One way is 179 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: because controversy sells papers if they are able to show 180 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: this controversial issue, even though minority of people believe, all 181 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: of a sudden, they're getting a lot of papers being sold. 182 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: People are tuning in. But another reason why is because 183 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: some of these radicals have in fact infiltrated some of 184 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: the media institutions. I mean, let's just look at CNN 185 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 3: for example, for the last six or what is announced 186 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 3: twenty fifteen eighty ors now who Anyways, when Antifa really 187 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 3: became entered like the public domain and like it became 188 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: kind of mainstream, you had a lot of people apologizing 189 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: for Antifa. You had Mark Bray, who wrote the book Antifa, 190 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: The Anti Fascher's Handbook, going on and insane and downplane 191 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 3: Antifa and making it seem like it wasn't a big deal, 192 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 3: and well, the majority of Americans, I believe that are 193 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: seeing right through that. So if you look at the 194 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 3: coverage that CNN is pushing out now, they don't even 195 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: mention Antifa. I have yet to find an article about Atlanta, 196 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: Georgia and the Treehouse Antifa, all of this that's happening 197 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: right now where they mentioned Antifa. The only time that 198 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: they mentioned Antifa is whenever it is to try to 199 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: dis miss conspiracy theories about January sixth that Antifa isn't there. 200 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: So there are enough people infiltrated the media and CNN 201 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: that are sympathetic to Antifa that they'll go along with 202 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: not putting the organization in a bad light. 203 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, not necessarily that they're members or they just don't 204 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 3: want They see them as very aligned with their causes. 205 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: Maybe they may not like the tame figs, they may 206 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 3: seem it's a little ichy, but at least they have 207 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: the heart in the right place. They're fighting the right 208 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: fight or the right opponent, you know, So let's not 209 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 3: go through that. That's kind of the general sense that 210 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 3: I get from a lot of reporters that refuse to 211 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: name Antifa by name, despite the fact that they're very 212 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 3: open that they're the ones organizing this violence. 213 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: Can you hold on sure? All right, we're talking to 214 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: Gabriel Nadalas. The book is Behind the Black Mask, My 215 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: Time as an Antifa activist. Yes, he did wear the 216 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 2: black mask, and he did engage in protests as part 217 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: of the group you want to call it antifa, anti fascist, 218 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: but he changed his ways and he's talking about what 219 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: it's like to be on the inside. More coming up, 220 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: including next the keyword, where you have a chance? John 221 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: a Capitalist money right one thousand dollars in iHeart Money, 222 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: Let's Embrace America. Johnny Ken KFI AM six point forty 223 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: Live Everywhere, the iHeartRadio app. 224 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: We continue with Gabriel Nadalas. He's got a book. 225 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Behind the Black Mask, My time as an Antifa activist. 226 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,599 Speaker 2: Dandy was a member, if you want to call it 227 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 2: a member. That's something I wanted to ask about when 228 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: we get him back on the air here. But yeah, 229 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: this is I've always been curious how organized is being 230 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: part of antifa? Do you guys have meetings, do you 231 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: have leaders? Just communicate on social media? How do you 232 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: know what demonstration to go to? How does all this work? 233 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: I never understood this. 234 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: I mean, it varies a lot of where you're from. 235 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: And just so your listeners are, no, I'm actually from 236 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: the area. I'm as Zusa, California, so from the San 237 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: Gevo Valley. So my book talks about what I was 238 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: doing in Los Angeles, in Hollywood, all of those different things. 239 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: So the best way to understand antifa is to not 240 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 3: see it as an organization, but as a movement. And 241 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 3: within this movement you have several different radical left wing groups. 242 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 3: Some of them call themselves antifa, but a lot of 243 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 3: them don't. Some of them will call the one sixty 244 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: one Crew, for example, that's what they call themselves in 245 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 3: San Francisco, But the one sixty one crew actually stands 246 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 3: for one is a F is six and a is 247 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 3: one is a again one six's one is anti fascist 248 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 3: action again, but it really depends. In southern California where 249 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: I'm from, we had our own little collective and we 250 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: try to link up with some of the anarchist groups 251 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: in Los Angeles as well as like the Claremont and 252 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: some of the groups that were going on there. As 253 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: far as like meeting goes. They it really again, it 254 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 3: really depends if you have some of the anarchist Black Cross, 255 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: for example, they'll have more official meetings, they'll have meetups 256 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: and all that, but most of the time you have 257 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: very unofficial ways of recruiting and modernly you actually they 258 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 3: use a lot of social media. They'll put out a 259 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: call to action and social media and they'll just wait 260 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: for people to answer. I think that's exactly what happened 261 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 3: in Atlanta Treehouse. Antifa put out a colt for violence, 262 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, people from all around the 263 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 3: country they wanted to join in in that action. So 264 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: it's both very decentralized in the way that they work, 265 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: but at the same time, at the vocal level, they 266 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: are much more organized like a traditional organization. 267 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: I also understand that you do go to some college 268 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 2: campuses to talk about, you know, what you saw as 269 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: part of Antifa and what your life is like now 270 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: completely different. 271 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I sook into over one hundred different 272 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: college campuses. The last campus I spoke at it was 273 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 3: at Northern Arizona University, I believe it was. And you know, 274 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: I have the opportunity to talk to young students about 275 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: what it means to wear the black mask, what I 276 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: see how I believe we can combat Antifa as well 277 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: as how warning them of just political extremism in general, 278 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: because Antifa is not the only thread, it's one of 279 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: the many threads that I see today in political extremism. 280 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: What kind of young person joins any of these Antifa groups? 281 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: Is there a profile or several profiles you notice a 282 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: certain kind of person showing up over and over again. 283 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: Well, it's actually a lot more diverse than people realize. 284 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 3: There's people who there come from a nicer families, people 285 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: who are immigrants, such as myself. I had a friend 286 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 3: who came from a very dysfunctional family, and you know, 287 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 3: he joined because he thought he wanted it to want 288 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: to feel that community. But it's very diverse. You'll see 289 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 3: people who again come from very good families and engaging 290 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 3: in some actions that you would think, like, how you 291 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 3: had a mighty good upbringing. 292 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: Why do you think they do that? I mean, I 293 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: just saw the other day that some of the people 294 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: arrested in Atlanta were generally from more well to do families, 295 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: educated families. What is the appeal of this for them 296 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: since they have been born born more privileged than most. 297 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of reasons for why they do it. 298 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 3: One reason it could be because they see themselves as 299 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: having a duty to get back to the community. I 300 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: know it sounds twisted that breaking windows is somehow giving 301 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 3: back to your community, but they see themselves as in 302 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: a way, trying to save what they had and maybe 303 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: they don't deserve it. Maybe they they want to make 304 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: sure that everybody else has that same freedom that they do. 305 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 3: But again, like their vision for me is typically one 306 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 3: of anarchical syndicalism and anarchism, and. 307 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: Nobody's going to have a future, right, I mean, it's 308 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: going to just because what made you leave the organization? 309 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 3: Sure, I mean I was sometime in my senior or 310 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 3: of high school. I was already around them for about 311 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: a year, and I remember I began to learn about 312 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 3: Milton Feedman Thomas Souls, two great economists, and I remember 313 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 3: just finding them very interesting at the time, but I 314 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: didn't agree with them, so I wanted to talk about 315 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: their ideas with my friends. Well, once I talked to 316 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: my friends about it, well they just called me a 317 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 3: capitalist pig and they would began to ostracize me every 318 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: time I brought up issues that even though I didn't 319 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: believe them. I just kind of wanted to play devil's advocate, 320 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: and I started to realize that a lot of them 321 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 3: just had a lot of bumper sticker ideologies. They didn't 322 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: want to engage in discussion about these issues. So that 323 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: made me want to go out and seek people who 324 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 3: disagree with me. I've always kind of have an open mind, 325 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 3: and I've always wanted to ask a lot of questions. 326 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: Once in college, I started a libertarian group just because 327 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 3: I wanted to talk to people who disagree with me. 328 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 3: I wanted to explore ideas that I didn't have, And 329 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 3: slowly and surely I slowly started changing my beliefs. But 330 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 3: let me tell you, a lot of people always ask me, 331 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 3: what is it that change will flip me? I never 332 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: saw it as a flip. The way I saw my evolution, 333 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 3: ideological evolution, was just that it was an evolution, a 334 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 3: slow transition. It's back now nowadays, I just can't even 335 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: believe I was part of the anti fascist movement. It 336 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: was just a part of my life. 337 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: Are there other Are there many others like you? Or 338 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: are you an anomaly. 339 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 3: That I personally know and who grew up with me? 340 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 3: And that no? There is another guy. His name is 341 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 3: Aaron and he was involved in Texas in the anti 342 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: fascist movement in Texas a few years before me. I 343 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 3: connected with him a few years ago. He wrote a 344 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 3: book about the same subject. What is it called. It's 345 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: called Black Block Anarchist and has an amazing book. He 346 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 3: has a very similar experience with me as mine, of 347 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 3: like being becoming a very disillusioned with people who didn't 348 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 3: really want to discuss the problems. They just kind of 349 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: wanted to attack people who disagree with them. 350 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much for coming on the 351 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: show again. The book is Behind the Black Mask, My 352 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 2: Time as an Antifa activist. Gabriel Nadalas, Thank you very much. 353 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity. 354 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 2: All Right, we got more coming up as the Johnny 355 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 2: Ken Show on KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere, the 356 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. 357 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: But I was a fascinating conversation. 358 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, the former Antifa guy is. 359 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Just joining us. This is something you want to listen 360 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: to on the podcast as soon as we're done with 361 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: the show, Gabrielle. 362 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: Gabriel Nadalas was our guest. 363 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, and he wrote a book, back Behind the 364 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: Black Mask, My time is an Antifa activist, which which 365 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: he did for about a year. And what's fascinating is 366 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: because I feel like we've all been held hostage by 367 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: a combination of like anarchists and woke activists and whatever 368 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 1: they say goes and they disrupt life. I mean, they 369 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: were burning Portland for six months and now they're they're 370 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: burning things in Atlanta, and I'm thinking. 371 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: It was covered by the main media as a largely 372 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: peaceful protest. Yeah, that's how they like to cover it. 373 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: It's largely peaceful. Oh yeah, a few people burned some 374 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: buildings and broke some windows, but you know what, for 375 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 2: the most part, they're out there for the right cause, right. 376 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: But what they have is a new generation of generalists 377 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: journalists rather who are very sympathetic to Antifa's overall causes. 378 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: Well, they won't even talk about them. They'll just say 379 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 2: they're active, they're peaceful demonstrators. 380 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: So they're not really journalists. What they are are propagandists. 381 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: But they happen to work for recognize news organizations. And 382 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: so people get fooled because they see the CNN MIC 383 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: flag and they assume they're getting straight news like CNN 384 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: used to be twenty years ago, when actually it's a 385 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: lot of these if they're not outright members, they're very sympathetic. 386 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: They think, Okay, that's my team, that's my horse. I'm 387 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: not going to do a story that puts them in 388 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: a bad light and hurts the cause. 389 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: I think that's very much what happens. 390 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: So that's what we're looking at. And it's the same 391 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: thing with these woke activists, and that's why they constantly 392 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: give us new language that we're supposedly forced to use, 393 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: Like that ap story we did before where we suddenly 394 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: lit style book. Yeah, we can't call people the homeless 395 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: or the mentally ill. It's people experiencing this or that. 396 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, that's obviously some type of activist 397 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: who's got a responsible position at the Associated Press. But 398 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: that's not a journalist. That's a propagandist. And now he's 399 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: in charge of language in order to reindoctrinate people on 400 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: the proper way to think and speak. And it's happening 401 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: so slowly, drip by drip, that people don't realize the 402 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: level of indoctrination that's going on. Now in the media, 403 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: you get a sense of it, but it's hard to 404 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: believe that they really have infiltrated. They have the jobs, 405 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: get they're on the payroll, and they're trying to reshape 406 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: how we think and how we talk. 407 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 2: All right now, we're going to pause on the John 408 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 2: and Ken Show for a sad moment of silence. Debora Mark, 409 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: why what happened? P? Eighty one is dead? We have 410 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 2: lost another mountain lion. P. Eighty one was killed by 411 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: a vehicle on January twenty second. This story just came 412 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: out on the Pacific Coast Highway near Los Posas Road 413 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: in the western Santa Monica Mountains. This was a four 414 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: year old mountain lion that got tagged and they give 415 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: them the name P. Eighty one. According to the story, 416 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 2: it's the thirty fourth mountain lion to die on an 417 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 2: area highway and they're concerned because obviously the numbers are shrinking, 418 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: and of course the whole thing. When is that P. 419 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 2: Twenty two event at the Creek Theater. Isn't that coming up? 420 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: I think next month? Right? Yeah? The memorial service for P. 421 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 2: Twenty two. 422 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: What did that do to the guy's car? 423 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: It doesn't say, it doesn't say, it says now, it 424 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 2: says here the male lion was tagged with a tracking 425 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 2: collar in twenty twenty. This part is fascinating was said 426 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: to be a significant component in the more than twenty 427 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: year Park Service study of area cougars because of physical abnormalities. 428 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 2: He had a kinked tail shaped like the letter L 429 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: at the end, and he only had one descended testicle. 430 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 2: And they're saying this is probably because of inbreeding, due 431 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 2: to a lack of genetic diversity. So that's another concern 432 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 2: they have. There are so few left that they're inbreeding 433 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: and that's causing some abnormalities. 434 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: The freeways divide the mountains, right, Yes, so the four 435 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: or five keeps the lions that live on the western 436 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: side apart from those who live on the eastern side. Oh, 437 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: I see, which is they don't they don't. Yeah, they 438 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: don't mix genetically. And the same thing uh on the 439 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: one O one oh there, which is which is why 440 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: they're there. I think that also splits east and west. 441 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: As as as the road turns to the north towards 442 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: Ventura and they're building, they're building that wildlife overpass to 443 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: go from one side to the other. 444 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: I have a feeling whoever did this didn't It was 445 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 2: like a hit and run, because I don't believe they 446 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 2: just found the mountain lion's body and they're determining when 447 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: they're going to do a necropacy something. Somebody determined. Yeah, 448 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: somebody hit them and kept going. 449 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: Somebody drove home with a real busted up. 450 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, a four year old mountain lion 451 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: will be sizable, very sad. Yeah, I told you we're 452 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 2: gonna have a moment of silence that. 453 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm just I'm just looking how many what's the 454 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: mountain out in line population near Los Angeles? And yeah, 455 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: this answer says about two dozen. 456 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: That ain't mine which now, but that's if you're saying 457 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 2: near Los Angeles. That excludes probably being way up there in. 458 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 1: The Yeah, right, I don't know what with the it's 459 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: National Park Service. P. 460 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: Twenty two is the only one that was in Griffith Park. 461 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 2: That's why they thought that was rather unusual, because he 462 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: had crossed the one on one on the four h 463 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: five to get there. 464 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: The National Park Service says they think ten to fifteen 465 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: adult mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains. P. 466 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 2: Eighty one is the thirty fourth mountain lion since two 467 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: thousand and two to die from road mortality they call it. 468 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 2: And of that number, thirteen were colored. They had the 469 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 2: radio color. That's why they called it thirteen. 470 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 471 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 2: Now on to the real world of the homeless. We 472 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 2: talked before about how La Metro with the subways has 473 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 2: had a problem. Well, they don't really care, except people 474 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 2: were complaining that when they get to the end of 475 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: the line, such as in Long Beach, the train that 476 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: comes from downtown Los Angeles to Long Beach, the vagrants 477 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 2: get off and just start wandering the streets. Basically, what 478 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 2: you have is sort of a rolling, mentally ill asylum 479 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 2: of homeless people. Metro is it's not going to change 480 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: their policy of emptying the trains with the passengers at night, 481 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 2: but apparently what they want to do is put in 482 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 2: service hubs at thirteen rail line end points to hopefully 483 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 2: deal better with the homeless that get off and hook 484 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: them up with services so they're not wandering the streets. 485 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: Story goes on to say that some of the workers 486 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 2: they felt endangered because they go on to clean the 487 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 2: trains at the end of the line and maybe they 488 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 2: have to move the homeless out of the way to 489 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: do some mopping and cleaning and a get hostile situations. 490 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: These people are dangerous, They create disgusting conditions, so of 491 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: course passengers aren't normal people aren't going to take the trains. 492 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: And who wants to work under those conditions. I mean, 493 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: it's so obvious. I cannot imagine while the metro board 494 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: and the CEO is Stephanie Wiggins, she must be a 495 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: piece of work. You just ban all these homeless people 496 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: from the train period. You never let them get on. 497 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: They don't pay, they usually don't pay. 498 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: They don't pay it that there's a good enough reason 499 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: right there. You don't even have to get into a 500 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: civil rights argument. You don't have the money, you don't 501 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: get a ride. 502 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, they have somebody go on the trains and try 503 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: to check and see if somebody has paid the fare, 504 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 2: and if they didn't, they're off at the next stop. 505 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: Because they're not being used for transportation. 506 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: Being it's a shelter, it's a rolling shelter. 507 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: It's a shelter, so you don't have any any obligation 508 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: to let people on just to live there. I don't 509 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: understand why they're so timid about this, because the passengers 510 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: who would use it for transportation, if there are any left. 511 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: Aren't going to. 512 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: The other places. They are having problems. And I think 513 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 2: we talked to a resident one time at Azusa. There's 514 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: apparently the Gold Line ends there, and then we have 515 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: the western terminus of the E Line formerly the Expo 516 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 2: Line in Santa Monica, and the Azuza mayor says, my 517 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: residents tell me there have been dozens of homeless. The 518 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 2: residents say they're boisterous, they camp right there at the promenade. 519 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same story over and over again. Thirty 520 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: nine on average, thirty nine riders exit the train every 521 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: night in downtown Long Beach. 522 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: Oh, listen to this. They might copy the idea. Philadelphia 523 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: has the hub of hope at the end of the 524 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: train lines. They built a place with the showers, case 525 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 2: managers and counseling services. But Metro says funding is going 526 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: to be an issue. Really, Oh, you know what I heard? 527 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 2: I think it was Paul Greccorian, right, is the president 528 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 2: of the council now is Yeah? Oh, I heard him 529 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 2: on the radio this morning. He said, well, if they're 530 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 2: going to ask us for money, no, we already spent 531 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: huge sums of money on the homeless in Lang we're 532 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 2: not giving Metro money for their service hubs. 533 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: It was kind of a Metro has billions of dollars. 534 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they want to make riding the subways and 535 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: buses free. That's the next big movement that's going on. 536 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: So well, if the only people using them are the 537 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: homeless and they're not paying anyway, there isn't much money 538 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 1: at stake there. Ridership is very low among normal people 539 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: and the homeless aren't paying, and they don't enforce people 540 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: who don't pay fares. Whether you're homeless or not. 541 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 2: Listen to this. An average of thirty nine homeless writers 542 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: exit that Long Beach train every night between December seventh 543 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: and December tenth, and December twelfth and thirteenth, Metro count 544 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 2: to two hundred and thirty four people getting kicked off 545 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: the four A line trains. Oh my goodness, this complete. 546 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: This is the anarchy. This is the anarchic breakdown of 547 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Here, it's not just outside groups creating mayhem. 548 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: It's the inside bureaucracy. It's people like Stephanie Wiggins, incapable, 549 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: unwilling to do what's obvious and throw these people off 550 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: the trains and keep them off block them, spend the money, 551 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:59,479 Speaker 1: get the security and ban them. I mean, no one 552 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: is gonna question that strategy. 553 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: All right, We got more coming up. It's Johnny Kenshaw 554 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: on kf I am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. Yes, 555 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: something funny. 556 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I can't share, No, I can't. 557 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: So these things always come like seconds before you're about 558 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: to speak. Something cracks you up. 559 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm I'm reading stuff, you know, during the commercial break. 560 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: And oh, I'm aware of that. Sometimes do you wait 561 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 2: for the music prompt to say, oh, that's right, we're 562 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 2: doing something here. I gotta come back on and say something. 563 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: I just read something just incredibly insensitive, that's all, which 564 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: was also very funny. 565 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 2: Which you find funny. Yes, Coming up in the three 566 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: o'clock hour, we'll take a look at the Paul Pelosi case. 567 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: They have released video and audio from the attack on 568 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: Paul Pelosi last October at their Pelosi home in San Francisco. This, 569 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: of course, David de Pepe is the attacker's name and 570 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 2: strange story still, but a few things got cleared up. 571 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 2: We'll play the nine to one to one called and 572 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 2: talk about it. That will be followed by the Moiceline 573 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: part one. The Moiceline Part two is at the end 574 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: of the show, and in between we will toss somebody 575 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 2: into the dumpster. The big national story today also concerns 576 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: bodycam police video. This, of course, is from Memphis, Tennessee, 577 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 2: where a couple of weeks ago, a black motorist was 578 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 2: stopped by the police and beaten, and he died several 579 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 2: days later in the hospital. His name is Tyree Nichols, 580 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 2: and they're telling us that this was a ferocious beating 581 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 2: by the five police officers involved. They were immediately removed 582 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 2: from the force and then charged with murder, so it 583 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: appears that they've taken care of the legal aspect of 584 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 2: this case rather quickly. Of course, their lawyer is only 585 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 2: complaining that they're also charged with kidnapping, which is kind 586 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 2: of an odd They would charge with a second degree murder, 587 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: but they also face kidnapping charges, which is described as 588 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: the unlawful confinement of a person while restrained. The lawyer said, 589 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 2: if it was a legal definition to begin with, it 590 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: certainly becomes illegal at a certain point, and was unlawful detention. 591 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: Well, this is supposed to be worse than the Rodney 592 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: King beating. According to insiders who've seen the. 593 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 2: Welly died, so I would imagine so and knew I 594 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: thought of was Kelly Thomas. That's why I thought of 595 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: when I saw this, Kelly Thomas. Of course, this is 596 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 2: going back to twenty eleven, the homeless man in Orange 597 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: County who was beaten by several Fullerton police officers and 598 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 2: he died sometime later in a hospital. 599 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: And the police chief in Memphis says, we're going to 600 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: see acts in the bodycam video that defy humanity. 601 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really. I don't know whether or not they're 602 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 2: doing that just to get people prepared, or whether maybe 603 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 2: won't be so bad when they see it because they're 604 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 2: hearing all this, they're thinking this is going to be 605 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 2: so horrendous. 606 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: It's going to be released. It's seven o'clock Memphis time. 607 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: O'clock actually six o'clock Memphis time, because they're in the 608 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: Central time zone. Why would you release the video when 609 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: it's already dark, because if there is going to be rioting, Well, 610 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: I did hear. 611 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 2: One official say it's because it's late on a Friday, 612 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: we think it'll get as much coverage or as much 613 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 2: reaction because and this is that idea of dumping bad 614 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 2: news John late on a Friday night. 615 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: Does that work anymore with the twenty four hour internet? 616 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: That's all I heard on cable channels. 617 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: People are going to see this all over social media 618 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: and that's where everybody is all the time. 619 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: Now. Just the victim was black and the five cops 620 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 2: are black, so race is kind of off the table. 621 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: But I think where this is heading is just the 622 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 2: anti police fura that's out there. Well, we're going to 623 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: see maybe race doesn't matter anymore, people are just tired 624 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 2: of the police. 625 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: Or we're going to see how much of the riots 626 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: two years ago was about police or how much was 627 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: it to you know, scream white supremacy. Oh, there was 628 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: Floyd moment in the George Floyd movement. It was a 629 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: lot of that. And was that the bigger issue than 630 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: the police now? Depends, you know, it depends on the group. 631 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: We'll see. But uh this, uh, I mean Derek Shavin 632 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: when he did to George Floyd, he's he remember they 633 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: put the knee on the neck. So this was a 634 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: slow torturous death. 635 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 2: This Yeah, I think this one is just a ferocious beating. 636 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I heard one of the I think it 637 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: was one of the attorneys talking today that these guys 638 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: have been known to beat up a lot of citizens, 639 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: that they're. 640 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: All these particular offices are just the Memphis play. 641 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: They're they're they're they're part of a group, like the 642 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: Scorpion Unit. 643 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: Oh, like these police gangs. 644 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a police gang or it's 645 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: a special unit to unit deal with certain kinds of crime. 646 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 2: Supposedly he was reckless driving, which yeah, I'm not even 647 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 2: that's true. 648 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: I know. Well, that's the thing is right now, you're 649 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 1: gonna get You're gonna get news that's false. There's gonna 650 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: be a lot of false news floating around. That's just 651 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: the nature of these stories. So we're gonna have to 652 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: wait until the official reports come out, you know, from courts. 653 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I've yet to read anything that in any 654 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 2: way defends these officers. So I don't know why I'm 655 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 2: going to see after four o'clock, but I'm not reading 656 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 2: a lot that says that, you know, there was a 657 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 2: reason for them beating this man who apparently is six 658 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 2: foot three but only weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, 659 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 2: so he was not really a big or a strong guy. 660 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 2: He's tall guy, but not a particularly hefty guy. That's 661 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 2: that's Tyree, apparently according to his family. So I don't know, 662 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 2: I guess all five, Well, we'll find out with the 663 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 2: video just what. But they're warning people that this is 664 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: going to be horrendous, and of course there is a 665 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: really on watch in Memphis and really the whole state 666 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 2: of Tennessee, hoping that the protests are peaceful as usual 667 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: whatever comes out of this. He did linger on life 668 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 2: support for three days. 669 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: Four bailed. Four of the cops have bailed out already, 670 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: Yes they have. 671 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, says here. An ambulance arrived at the scene 672 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 2: to aid Nichols, but only after some period of time 673 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 2: of waiting around. That's also kind of weird. So you know, 674 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 2: but George Floyd, they didn't really care if you got 675 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 2: a medical helper. 676 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: This this is a lot of this stuff goes down 677 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: in the real world. You know. Despite all the protests 678 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: and all the media coverage, you can't change human nature now. 679 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: And there are certain police officers who very violent, probably 680 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: easily could have been criminals, and they bonded together some 681 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: kind of gang. I mean, we certainly have that in 682 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: La in the big to police departments and it's it's 683 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: always gonna happen. 684 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. The lawyer for the Nichols family says that they 685 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 2: acted together as a pack of wolves to inflict harm, terrorism, 686 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,240 Speaker 2: oppression of liberty, oppression of constitutional rights, which led to murder. 687 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 2: And there could have been the ferocia And you and 688 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 2: I have seen this after some chases in the past. 689 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 2: Sometimes the cops are just so adrendal and fueled, right yeah, 690 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: and they're like this guy, you let it. I mean, 691 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 2: we kind of died driving these roads, and it just 692 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 2: they get to them. They just can't help themselves. They 693 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: just start womping on them. 694 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: Guy, guys, Well, because human beings lose control. You got 695 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: a different adrenaline pumping in you if you've been in 696 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: a life threatening situation or a situation you perceived his 697 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 1: life threatening. Uh yeah, you're gonna you're gonna unleash all 698 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: this adrenaline, all this fury. You're you're now you're just 699 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: you're just chemicals that are flooding your brain and triggering 700 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: your violent reactions. 701 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 2: Some are saying that unlike other cases, they did X swiftly. 702 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 2: Here they got the body cam and I'm talking about 703 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 2: charging these guys with murder already, because. 704 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: When when this happened? Did you hear about the story? 705 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 3: It was? 706 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 2: Did not? 707 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: Five six days ago? Yeah? I didn't hear about it 708 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: until the arrests were announced. I heard about it before 709 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: the arrests were announced. I think when he died I 710 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 1: heard about it, but uh, it was not a big story. Yeah, 711 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: it's interesting. 712 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 2: I think this happened. What day was it? 713 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: Two weeks ago? I think five six days ago? I 714 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: don't know. 715 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 2: Oh the actual the actual beating. Yeah, oh okay, all right, 716 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 2: well maybe if I'm wrong, then I thought I saw 717 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 2: a date earlier than that. But uh, all right, when 718 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 2: we come back, we'll talk about the uh Paul Pelosi 719 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 2: getting hit with the hammer. It was January seventh, John, 720 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 2: So I'm right, it was a couple of weeks ago. 721 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 2: Has January seventh? He died on the tenth. 722 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: Now, No, seriously, how does it go this long twenty 723 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 1: days before becoming a major story. 724 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: I think because the bodycam video became more seen by 725 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 2: more people, maybe within the police and prosecutors' offices, and 726 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 2: that became wow, this is indefensible.
