9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: the Porter Ranch gas leak that we cover actually went

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: up there and did this show. Anyway, We had a

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: city council member come on the show and actually appear

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: on our show numerous times over the years. Mitch Englander,

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: and apparently the legal world is not done with them yet.

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Englander got into a little trouble for a well

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: taken trips to Las Vegas and Palm Springs with a developer,

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: a businessman, a developer, city staffers and others. And he

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: was accepting gifts like hotel rooms, bottle service. I guess

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: that means they bring alcohol, alcohol into a nightclub. There

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: was an envelope containing cash dinner drinks with a restaurant.

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Eventually the FEDS caught up at them. There were women

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: involved too, and yeah they were. Yeah, I don't see

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: that in this story. I thought there was in the

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: original story that there was something about women offered. But this.

24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: You don't go to the club and drink all that

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: booze unless you can share it with somebody. Yeah, well

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. So he eventually pled guilty

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: in July of twenty twenty after the FBI caught up

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: at them, and again we have jose Weazar was to

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: wait for that trial, but this is the corrupt city

30
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: council to falsifying material facts. He got fourteen months in prison.

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: So he ends up last year going to federal prison

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: in Tucson. He ended up in Long Beach and a

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: reentry facility in October, and he was released from custody

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: earlier this year. But he's back in the news again.

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: And because he has to fork over a whole lot

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: of money. He has to pay eighty thousand dollars in

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: fines because you see, he didn't disclose the gifts he

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: got from the businessman that included, as I mentioned, the

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: hotel rooms. Oh so not only he got jail service,

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: the alcohol, the envelope containing cash and dinner and drinks

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: at a restaurant. Yeah, I just found it. It was

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: he was hooked up with a female escort in Las Vegas.

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Oh you did find that story, Yes, yeah, it's it's

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: in all the Yeah. So he got you got cash,

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: she got a hooker, He got gambling chips. Thirty four

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in bottle service because you go into a

47
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: club and they bring you the most expensive booze and champagne. Yeah,

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: this is the high roller kind of Yeah. And one

49
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: dinner was twenty four hundred and eighty one dollars. I

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: mean that girl must have eaten a lot, she must

51
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: have been hungry. Yeah. And again, like a lot of

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: corrupt city stories, this is all about developers getting their

53
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: way with an ever kind of posing project or business

54
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: building they want to build in downto on La usually

55
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: somewhere all you see. This would have been probably England

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: or its district, which is in the valley. How disgusting

57
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: the city has become, and Mitch Englander is one of

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: the reasons, because instead of cleaning up all the vagrants

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: laying half dead in the streets and getting the criminals

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: put in prison, what's he doing? He's a criminal himself,

61
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: partying up in Las Vegas with all the booze and

62
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: the party girls, the hookers Vegas and palm springs. Yea,

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: in order to get some money from some some slimy,

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: oily developer. Great, thanks for your service, really, thank you

65
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: for your public service. That's why when I hear these

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: guys go, oh, you know, as a public servant. Yeah,

67
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: I wish I could put together all the pompous speeches

68
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure Mitch Englander gave about the nobleness of public

69
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: service and how he is sacrificed for the good of

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the community. He's done with his prison time, but now

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: the city Ethics Commission caught up with him because, you know,

72
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: taking all those poker chips and alcohol and hotel rooms.

73
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Why he exceeded the city's gift limit. Yes, you know,

74
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: apparently there he did not disclose the gifts. There's a

75
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: limit of three hookers in any quarter, is that Ryan, Yes,

76
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: it's in the code. It's in the code. Yeah, there's

77
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: a certain amount of a certain number of gambling chips,

78
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: you can accept, certain number of hookers, certain number of

79
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: champagne bottles, and he he just went crazy here. Well,

80
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: they said, all at all, he took more than twenty

81
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in gifts, but now he's been hit with

82
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: a near eighty thousand dollars penalty including fines penalties that

83
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: didn't work out too well, you know, Yeah, it's just

84
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: hysterical that he's nabbed for violating the gift limit, not

85
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: not not the bribe limit. Right. Well, well, no, the

86
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: bribe limit got him the prison time. That was the

87
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: federal pase. I know, but somebody in the city said, well,

88
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: we still have to go after him for the ethical

89
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: gift fire elation, right. I love, he's got some attorney.

90
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Gary Winnick. And while the entire situation has

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: been difficult from mister Englander and his family, you're trying

92
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: to get sympathy from us. Guy went out of his

93
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: way to take the bribes and go to Las Vegas

94
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: and bed down the hooker. But we're supposed to feel

95
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: for he and his family. Winnick said that Englander has

96
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: been rebuilding his life by volunteering with a local reentry program.

97
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Now what is that? What the hell is a local

98
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: reentry program? Well, if you read the second part of

99
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: the sentence, I think you can figure it out. Continuing

100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: his commitment to public service by helping others put their

101
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: lives on the right track. So supposedly he's volunteering with

102
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: one of those you know people have just got out

103
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: of prison and they're trying to figure out to do

104
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: with their lives. He probably goes in there and says, well,

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, I used to be accounselman. What's he gonna

106
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: tell them? Don't don't accept poker chips and drinks and

107
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: his commitment to tell rooms. And that's what I'm saying.

108
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: All the pompous speeches these guys give his commitment to

109
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: public service. Yeah, well, his commitment to what's in his pants.

110
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: That's the only commitment he made. Uh. He did event

111
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: and by the way, he did plea in the federal case. Uh,

112
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: he pled guilty to falsifying facts. I am pissed he

113
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: used our program to polish his image. I am. I'm

114
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: really pissed about that. He came on because he was

115
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: trying to show that he was concerned about the residence

116
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: of Porter Ranch because they were inhaling all the toxic

117
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: gases from when we were there. We went up there

118
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: and did the show. He was there. Oh no, he's

119
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: sitting right next to us. Remember, Yeah, we had our

120
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: little broadcast set up and he was sitting right right

121
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: there where that we had. Anybody on the city council

122
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: we could ever talk to. I can think of three,

123
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: like the design might be another one. But right, of course,

124
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you know we got the guy. They actually caught they

125
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: well there's now been Jose we's are there's another city

126
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: council I now possibly Mark Ridley dom As they used

127
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: to be on the council. Well actually on the council,

128
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: but was on the Board of Supervisors at the time

129
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: of his corruption. So it isn't just people we talked to.

130
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's hard. It's hard to keep track, isn't it.

131
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: The Ethics Commission said he violated a law that prohibits

132
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: someone from misusing a public office position for private advantage,

133
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: for obtaining gifts that exceeded the gift limit, and for

134
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: keeping the gifts secret. They came out with twenty thousand,

135
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirteen dollars and fifty cents. Yeah, and

136
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: that the veguat bottle service was estimated at seventeen hundred dollars.

137
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: Was the hooker charged as a gift? I don't see

138
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: the hooker listed in this store. She wasn't in the itemization. No.

139
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: I can see from the photos Mitch is a married man.

140
00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: So I hope that didn't create a problems. Yeah, I

141
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: think that creates a problem. The question now is does

142
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: he have eighty thousand dollars to hand over? I haven't

143
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: been working for a few years. Well, you know, he's

144
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: he's in the re entry program. He's volunteering in the

145
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: program that doesn't pay, which is not which is not

146
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: a really a good term for you know, the crimes

147
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: is committed re entry. That's not trying to rebuild his life.

148
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: All right, We got more coming up, John and ken

149
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: k you know, we devoted time to that story. I'll

150
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: have to tune in and see if there's an update.

151
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: Bryce Less Pisa. Remember that guy? Oh who is he

152
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: back from school or something? Right? And as that promo

153
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: from Steve just said, they found his car with some

154
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: blood in but they never found him. That's a that's

155
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: at least ten years ago, isn't It seems like Steve

156
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: is doing an unsolved update and says there might be

157
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: an update too. Yeah, he was, he was that redheaded kid.

158
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: We talked to his mother. We think we did it,

159
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: didn't he get ugly. No, oh, I thought it did,

160
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: because we were wondering if Bryce was more like he

161
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: wanted to appeared. That was one of your theories that

162
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: he just decided I don't want to I want to

163
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: go off the map, off the grid. Yeah. I don't

164
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: think I brought that up to her though. I wouldn't see.

165
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: Something happened there. Maybe another family member emailed the show

166
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: or something because somebody got offended by it. Yeah, that

167
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: that we would speculate in that direction. But well, yeah,

168
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: there's there's a limit. He hasn't shown up, and they

169
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: haven't as far as I know, they haven't found a

170
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: body or anything. So very weird. Yeah, I think they were.

171
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: They from Orange County. I believe they were driving home

172
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: from college in northern California. For you. Pulled over to

173
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: the side of the road and he had just been

174
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: on the cell phone I think with a family member too,

175
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: and disappeared, and they found a car he texted to

176
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: say I'm coming, I'll be there and such in time. Yeah, yeah,

177
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: they found his car, but they didn't find him. So, Uh,

178
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: Steve's got a show coming up, or he's got something

179
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: in the news today. It's it's Steve's show called Unsolved.

180
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Have you heard of it? No? No, I know that,

181
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: but I mean he's just this weekend. This weekend, Yes,

182
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: we'll send him in here. I want to Well, no,

183
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: he wants you to listen to a show. You don't

184
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: want to squeeze it out of him. Now you will know.

185
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: I won't do it on the air. I just want

186
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 1: to find out. Okay, yeah, for your own personal right,

191
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: Mom and tie each other up. Wow. Well, we weren't

192
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: just talking about bitch Englander. And of course the former

193
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: city councilman did go to prison or being involved in

194
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: what looked like a bribe situation with a developer, and

195
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: we had mentioned in the story that there were some

196
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: women involved being offered. The reason we're bringing that to

197
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: this story is that we could become we could have

198
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: another first in the United States along the same lines

199
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: as I just hinted at. We have strippers at a

200
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: topless bar in with Hollywood, who have filed a petition

201
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: to become a union, and if so, they would be

202
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: the only unionized strippers in all of the United States.

203
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: Isn't that exciting? Um? Now, the term that I think

204
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: is preferred is exotic dancer. Now, see depends. I think

205
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: people their profession don't want to be called strippers. Yeah,

206
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: but it sounds like they do painting jobs. And there's

207
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: nothing exotic about what these women do. They just they

208
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: just take off their clothes. Adult ballerina, an adult ballerina.

209
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: That's a really creative one. But they if the National

210
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: Label Relations Board grants the petition. This is a place

211
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: called Star Garden Topless Dive Bar. Nice name, the Star

212
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: Garden Topless dive Bar. To that one, always rabin to

213
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, North Hollywood's not far from her bank.

214
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: I'm saying fifty fifty chance he's been there. Their bargaining

215
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: unit would be affiliated with it, actually would be affiliate

216
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: with the Actors Equity Associates. Sure, the National Labor union

217
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: that represents one fifty one thousand professional actors and stage

218
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: managers employed in live theater. So that's pretty good, uh association?

219
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well, I mean if they get the petition. Granted,

220
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: here's what they say. Strippers are live entertainers, and while

221
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: some aspects of their job are unique, they have much

222
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: in common with other equity members who dance for a living.

223
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: You see, there you go. They want health insurance, they

224
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: want benefits like workers comp Oh. Yeah, a lot of

225
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: things can happen for the stripper on the job. Well,

226
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: you could get a sprain, you could you could be

227
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: damaged easily. Yeah, you could misstep, or you could have

228
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: a guy that gets a little handsy. They need protection

229
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: from sex arrassment. Oh boy, that's a tough one. Good luck,

230
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: discrimination and unjust termination. Yeah, that's what I That's what

231
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: I read in the story. Was one of the main

232
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: issues that at this particular joint, the customers were just

233
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: always out of hand, and you know they want, don't

234
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: they believe on some of the show. Well, I don't know,

235
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on here. I oh, there

236
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: have to be limits and rules. They're usually a drunk

237
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: guy in there. It depends on the level of sophistication

238
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: of the club. You know, some some higher end clubs,

239
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's a definite no touch rule on the

240
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: low end, it's anything goes, you pay money, you end

241
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: up in a back room. Still enough dollar bills into

242
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure they do. Maybe it's probably more like a

243
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: five dollars dollars dollars that's going to get them mad

244
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: dollar bills. Yeah, i'd start at least minimum twenties. Yeah,

245
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: uh yeah. And by the way, the union that we're

246
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: talking about this uh, this actor's equity, they're affiliated with

247
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 1: the AFLCIO, so they actually, like they describe this. Uh,

248
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: we applaud their efforts to seize their collective power and unionize.

249
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: Like so many other across the country who are fed

250
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: up with toxic workplaces, Well, I would say if you

251
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: work at a strip club, you're that that as the

252
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: potential be a very toxic workplace. The kind of guys

253
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: coming there. Yeah, maybe maybe you shouldn't work in a

254
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: strip club if if you don't like the atmosphere, you don't.

255
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean you see that, even me too in the

256
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: woke culture didn't drive those away because men are still men.

257
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: You know, they can they can do all they want

258
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: to try to rewire human nature. They will fail when

259
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: it comes to everything. At the end of all this,

260
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: these weird trends and these strange social obsessions. Women will

261
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: still be women and men will still be men, and

262
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: the same desires will always be there and we will

263
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: express them. So it's sixty six thirty lancersome. So if

264
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: you want to go after work and check it out.

265
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: I've never been there. Uh, you know, in nineteen ninety

266
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: six there were strippers at a club in San Francisco

267
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: that did organize the Exotic Dancers Union. But guess what.

268
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: The Lusty Lady, which was the name of the club,

269
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: it closed in twenty thirteen. So that's why we don't

270
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: have any stripper union people now is the only club. No.

271
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean, the logic behind it is solid. I mean

272
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: you know that. Of course, they're entertainers, just like any

273
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: other group of entertainers, and legally they're allowed to unionize.

274
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: It's just so by the way they were. They were

275
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: picketing outside the club in March unsafe working conditions. They

276
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: had the help of Strippers United, an organization advocates for

277
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: strippers rights. They said they were not protected from threatening

278
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: an abusive behavior by patriots when they picked it. And

279
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: now they're moving towards being a union. Maybe you should

280
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: get a job you know, in retail in a different

281
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: environment that actually shocked that this goes on. What do

282
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: they think this is about? Here? Nobody should be subject

283
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: to abusive behavior, even if they're in a job that

284
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: seems to invite that. Well, thank you, chairman for people

285
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: of a perfect world. I mean there you go. All right,

286
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: we got more coming up John and KD Cafe. I

287
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: really is let's go back into the past on the

288
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: John and Ken show day after four o'clock. Remember the

289
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: road diets of twenty seventeen, the one that was beaten

290
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: back down on the play at Del Rey area. That's

291
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: the one where we actually did the shows there. That

292
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: was a Mike Bonnen project and that was a very

293
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: valuable commuting route for many people in the South Bay

294
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: that got knocked down to one lane. We got light

295
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: of that road diet, But the other one we were

296
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: trying to fight was on Venis Boulevard, and that one

297
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: actually had started earlier than the one and down in

298
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Vista del Mar and it's less than a mile, but

299
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: we're getting word that they want to increase the road

300
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: diet to four and a half miles from Lincoln Boulevard

301
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: to National Boulevard. Venice in the Venice Boulevard road diets.

302
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about it after the news at four o'clock.

303
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: Returning through the shows, John Russo, the co founder and

304
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: director of Keep La Moving slash Keep the US Moving.

305
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: They expanded into a even bigger movement to try to

306
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: fight these road diets and they were very effective and

307
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: beating the one that we talked about down at Mister

308
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: del Mar. So we'll find that this is all about

309
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: coming up after the news at four o'clock, Debra Mark,

310
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: I heard you mentioned the safe story yesterday. We had

311
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: mentioned on the show that up on Mulholland, one of

312
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: those scenic view areas, they had found a couple of

313
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: very large safes that they had to haul out of

314
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: the brush. The fire department came and lugged him up,

315
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: and you know what, It turned out that they were

316
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: guns safes, So not too exciting. No store guns, no

317
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: body parts in there. No, and no, I don't even

318
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: think it was for money or gold bars. It was

319
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: just for gun storage. Bodies in a safe. Yeah. I

320
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: think that's what the mob does well. They put him

321
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: in barrels and do them into lake need right, right,

322
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: But a safe actually I think I have heard of that. Yes, wow,

323
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: because if they lock you up in there, you ain't

324
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: getting out choppings and it's heavy enough to sink too,

325
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: I think, yeah. So I think it's a good she's

326
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: worried because she could fitness it. I could. Yeah. Let's

327
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: not give anybody any ideas they wouldn't have to chop

328
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: her up. You're saying, well, that would be good. I

329
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: don't want to be chopped up. She'd fit in a

330
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: barrel too. All right, let's change the subject. Guys, ways

331
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: to dispose? Wants to come near me since I have

332
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: the fingernails box? All right, So we mentioned this story

333
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: the other day, and there is an update. US is

334
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: one that's probably going to go to the United States

335
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Effective in the spring of twenty twenty three,

336
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: in the Minneapolis Public School District, teachers who were members

337
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: of quote, populations underrepresented among licensed teachers in the district

338
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: could be exempt from district wide layoffs outside of seniority

339
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: order what we call the traditional last in, first out system.

340
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we can start with the fact that that's

341
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: awful in the first place, that we have a profession

342
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: that's supposedly as important as being a teacher where you're

343
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: not judged on merit. It's just lasting first out because

344
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: it's not really that important. If it was important, you

345
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: wouldn't have that you would be judged on merit. But

346
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: if you're judged on siority, it means that the teachers

347
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: in these unions don't think the job is that special.

348
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of showing up every day until

349
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: you get tenure protection. They decide to cast their lot

350
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: together for all their pay and benefits, that's what you get.

351
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: You're going to get a layoff procedure that's based on seniority.

352
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: So what they did here in this agreement is that

353
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: they don't have to do the seniority thing, and what

354
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: they can do they can exempt the teachers who apparently

355
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: have less seniority but are in underrepresented groups such as

356
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: maybe being black or Latino, or they pointed out in

357
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: the story Native American apparently a teachers. In other words,

358
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: you fire the white teachers first, yes, and you see

359
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: what I think. What they looked at the problem is

360
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: and since everybody's had this awakening, they realized they didn't

361
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: have enough teachers of color, so they began to recruit them.

362
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: But the problem is they'll be the first to go

363
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: if you have a seniority system. It's not an awakening.

364
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: It's it's bullying, is all it is. It's it's racial

365
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: intimidation and bullying. Period. That's the and. And it's unconstitutional, illegal,

366
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: and will never happen. It'll get thrown out in five

367
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: minutes after it's taken to court. This must be just

368
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: massive virtue signaling here. Yeah, I don't see they think

369
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: this could not only institute discrimination itself, it could even

370
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: violate the fourteenth Amendment. There's an attorney in Minneapolis named

371
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: James Dickey who said he's already gotten a flood of

372
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: emails from taxpayers and teachers in Minneapolis who can't believe this.

373
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: There is not a single jurisdiction in the United States

374
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: where you can fire people based on their color. There's

375
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: nowhere you can get away with that legally impossible. It

376
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: vibrates the United States Constitution. They're gonna say, no, we're

377
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: trying to retain people based on their car. I don't

378
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: care what Kakamami whack job argument their slime ball lawyers

379
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: come up with. It is flat out not permitted, period.

380
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: Just this is not even worth debating it's never gonna happen.

381
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Sixty five percent of students who attend the Minneapolis Public

382
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: schools are people of color, only thirty percent of the

383
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: teaching staff work. Your color has nothing to do with

384
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: how well you teach. You talk about an irrelevancy. Color

385
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: has nothing to do ethnicity has nothing to do with it.

386
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: And there's no there's no such thing as being able

387
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: to proportionally represent all groups in all jobs. That has

388
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: never happened in the history of the United States and

389
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: never will. So this is this is beyond absurd and silly.

390
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what words to use to describe this.

391
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: It's just this weird fetish. It is like a fetish,

392
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: just just this bizarre obsession. People keep repeating it over

393
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: and over and over and over again. Yeah, they claim

394
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: that it's a step towards dismantling discriminatory systems and education.

395
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: So there's not laiming that what the Minneapolis Public schools

396
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't hire people of color because they're racist. Can you

397
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: prove that? You know, it depends who shows up and applies,

398
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: and it depends what their credential. Certain professions and do

399
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: attract to certain often ethnic or racial groups, they just

400
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: sometimes do it, and and the cities have a lot

401
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: of minority kids because the schools are free, and the

402
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: schools generally stink. So if if if you've got some money,

403
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: you go to a private school or you move to

404
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: a wealthier suburb, I mean, that's that's why the schools

405
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: end up being as segregated as they do. But they're gonna,

406
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna prepare themselves to defend this because

407
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: most legal analysts there will be a challenge as soon

408
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: ascause it doesn't take effect until next year, they'll lose them.

409
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: You gotta wait till they trigger it. It's not gonna

410
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: have to be the first person that gets laid off,

411
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: even though I've got more seniority, is gonna say no, no, no, no, no,

412
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: well of course, so so it's just gonna be if

413
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: it goes that fart, it's just gonna be a huge

414
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: waste of money. You won't even have to build much

415
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: of a legal fund. The case just simply wouldn't last long,

416
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: even if you got on how much they want to

417
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: try to defend it, how far they drag it out.

418
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: Even if you've got the wackiest judge in the world.

419
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: An appeals court would kill it. Ultimately, it would just

420
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: be a waste of time. And maybe this is a

421
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: chance to give politically connected lawyers a lot of money.

422
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's the scam here. There's absolutely no legal

423
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: merit to this at all. All right, we got more

424
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: coming up, John and Ken. Nine years ago, missing man

425
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: found dead locked inside a gun safe. Oh damn, that's

426
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: uh guy went missing and uh so they conducted a

427
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: search warrant at his house and he was trapped inside

428
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: his own gun safe. Oh it wasn't a murder, he well,

429
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: yet at the moment they wrote this story, then they

430
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: did not have it listed as a murder, just as

431
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: they deaf and I gay, we're going to do an

432
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: autopsy and uh no, see, but I don't know if

433
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: this guy climbed in he was cold. Maybe, oh it

434
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: was cold, climbed into the gun safe and actually locked

435
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: himself in. Yeah, if you're gonna do that to me,

436
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: make sure I'm dead first. Burying somebody alive in a

437
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: gun safe that they can't get out. Oh yeah, how

438
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: how creepy is that? Huh? The claustrophobia? All right, road

439
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Diets returned to the John and Kent Show. We reported

440
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: on this one when it had happened back in twenty seventeen.

441
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: It's on Venice Boulevard and it's still there, but it's

442
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: less than a mile. However, we apparently have learned from

443
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: our sources and our guest that's coming up after four

444
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: that the LA Department of Transportation wants to extend it

445
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: to four and a half miles along Venice Boulevard all

446
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: the way from Lincoln to Nationale. And apparently they're making

447
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: up numbers again about lives they've saved and lives that

448
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: have been taken without road diet. So yeah, they lie constantly,

449
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: the city Lines, the Department of Transportation, Mike Bonnet, they

450
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: all lie with hysterical false stats. This is the fakest

451
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: of fake news is when they try to come up

452
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: with the fake accident stats to justify and you know,

453
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: the word word road diet really doesn't do justice. They

454
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: shut down lanes and they create massive traffic jams for

455
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: normal people because they they have their Their goal is

456
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 1: to make driving so miserable that you'll give it up,

457
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: not that there's anything to replace it with. For most people,

458
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to force you to surrender and give

459
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: up your car. They have been trying for almost fifty

460
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: years to do this and they have failed to show

461
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: you that. Well, we have a bad criminal justice system

462
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: in the county. In the state, there are places that

463
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: are just as screwy. This is a big story out

464
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: of New York City. It was front page news because

465
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: naturally in this day and age, there's video. There's a

466
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: guy by the name of a name Boo Bui Buy

467
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: Buy Van Foo, fifty five year old man from the

468
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: Bronx who apparently knocked another man unconscious outside of a restaurant.

469
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: It was like on the sidewalk. The guy was just

470
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: standing there and Foo kind of comes up from behind

471
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: and just clocks him. The man apparently had severe injuries.

472
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: He's in a coma with a fractured skull. The update

473
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: is that Fo has only been charged with the misdemeanor

474
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: and he's free on bail. They initially were thinking about

475
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: attempted murder charges, duh, But apparently the judge in the case,

476
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: and this is in the Bronx, it isn't that New

477
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: York DA that we've mentioned a few times. This is

478
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: a Bronx DA apparently has reduced the case to a

479
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: misdemeanor assault. They've got video at the New York Post site.

480
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and you see how he smashes the guy

481
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: with his fist and the side of his face. Oh,

482
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: he just cold cocked him from out of nowhere. Yeah,

483
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: and the guy just flops to the sidewalk. The attacker

484
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: was standing behind this guy with his hands behind his back,

485
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: and then suddenly he rears back and just smashes him

486
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: with his fist and then he starts shouting. So it

487
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: looks like he's a crazy drug addict, you know, mental patient.

488
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 1: Third degree assault, second degree harassment. And the first thing

489
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: you might think, well, maybe he's got no criminal record.

490
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's a registered sex offender convicted in nineteen

491
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: ninety five of sex abuse. Spent six years in prison

492
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: with lifetime parole. So he's fifty five years old. Yeah,

493
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: this is He apparently raped a seventeen year old girl

494
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: at Dubpointod. How do you ever get out of jail

495
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: for that back in nineteen ninety four. He was released

496
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: in March of twenty nineteen. So he's a complete psycho. Yep.

497
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: He apparently walks out of a restaurant in the Bronx

498
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: puts on a pair of gloves and then just smashes it,

499
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: punches this guy in the back of that. Isn't this crazy?

500
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: Isn't this crazy that there's so many prosecutors, district attorneys

501
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: who believe in this now that anything can go no

502
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: matter how brutal the attack is due. What I can't

503
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: tell is he like homeless. Are they trying to do

504
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: like the stupid diversion thing that they do. It's all

505
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: it's all bs, it's all nonsense. There's nothing to divert here.

506
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: He's a psycho. Look at look at it. I mean

507
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: he's raping He's raping teenage girls. Yeah. Apparently he was

508
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: talking to his parole officer after this happening. He said,

509
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's dead. The police are looking

510
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: for me. I was at the restaurant and I know

511
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: the police are looking for me. You know what happens,

512
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: These these guys get weird surges inside them and they

513
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: just burst out a spasm of violence. Yeah, it's violence

514
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: for the sake of violence, because they feel they feel

515
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: this overwhelming desire to smash something. And this guy was

516
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: standing there with a looking away and you never do

517
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: what was coming. Wow, What a scary world. This is

518
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: what are they and they let him outright a psycho

519
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: reasons to reduce it to a misdemeanor assault. Yeah, it's

520
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: like the DA's a crazier psycho than stractured skull. I

521
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: don't know he's got. The reading of the criminals is unbelievable.

522
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: I see is it sympathy or is it really They're

523
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: they're trying to do something? Is there some endgame here

524
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: that we just don't want to accept because it seems

525
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: too frightening and too crazy to say it out loud?

526
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: What's the endgame here for this crowd? What is the

527
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: what are the city's going to turn into? All right,

528
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: the road diet may get even bigger on the west

529
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: side of Venice Boulevard. We'll talk about it next John
