Speaker 2: app for the John and Ken on demand podcast. And

00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: we had quite a energetic first hour, So in case

00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: you're just joining us, you go listen to the podcast

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 2: later and tune into the one o'clock hour deb.

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot more energy to come, and we're

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: back to talking about La County's metro system. And of course,

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: as I just mentioned at the top of the hour,

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: there there was another killing on Friday night. A Van

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: Nuys man was killed was another man was wounded. This

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: is the Metro Orange Line bus stop in Tarzana. It

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: occurred Friday night. They found two victims in the parking

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: lot suffering from multiple gunshot wounds the run. Remember we

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 3: just had the story last week of one guy with

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 3: a gun, one guy with a knife and they got

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: into a fight on a Metro train and the man

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: with the gun lost the man with the knife who

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: stabbed them most severely and quickly to take them out

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: of the situation. So what we're going to talk about

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: now is you may know it is the Green Line.

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: The Green Line runs from Norwalk basically to Redundo Beach.

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: If you ever drive on the one oh five Freeway

26
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 3: and you see the little train go by in the middle,

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: that's the Green Line. But I say that it's now

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: john called the Sea Line. They're changing from colors to

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 3: letters because I just they don't think there's enough colors.

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's now called the Sea Line.

31
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: The Sea Line, there is a plan to extend it

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 3: from its terminus point of Redondo Beach into Torrents. Well,

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: what do we know about end of the line problems

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: with metro trains?

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: What do we know?

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: Bring them.

37
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk to the people on Long Beach where the

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: A line ends.

39
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: Brings in hundreds of mental patients and drug addicts. That's

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: what happens. They dump them off and they start squatting

41
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: in the streets.

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a definite problem the last several years,

43
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: severe problem. We're now going to talk to a Torrents

44
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: Council member by the name of Oreliomutucci has been in

45
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: our show in the past. He's on the Transportation committee

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 3: as a three member Torrents Transportation Committee and clearly he's

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: one of the members that has problems with extending this

48
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: sea line into Torrents.

49
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: Aurelio, how are you great?

50
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 5: How are you guys doing, John Can and thank you

51
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: guys for giving us a voice.

52
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: Well, oh, absolutely talk about this plan. How how far

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: into Torrents would this be going?

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 5: I would go to our new transit center, which was

55
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 5: dubbed the Transient Center, because most likely it will end

56
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: up being a dumping ground for LA's filled policies. But

57
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 5: you know, one thing that I want to mention that

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 5: I think it's very important, is that Torrance has taken

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 5: a position of preferring the line to go down what

60
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 5: they call down the trench or down the existing railway.

61
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 5: And that's only because when presented to us by Metro,

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 5: we were not given an option of no build. It

63
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 5: was basically it's either down hopping or boulevard or down

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 5: the what's called the right of way, and so we

65
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: weren't even given an option. Hey, you know, maybe we

66
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 5: don't want this. So it turns out that Redondo Beach

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 5: in Londale talking to some of their council members and

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: they actually a couple of them actually showed up at

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 5: our Transportation Committee meeting. They actually said that they were

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 5: not given an option of a no no rail extension either.

71
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: So this is why a couple of us in the

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 5: Transportation Committee decided to bring it back to the committee

73
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 5: to talk about adding that third option, which will go

74
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: to the city council soon enough.

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: And the third option is nothing.

76
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: Nothing is kill it. You know, we don't need to

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: be a dumping ground. And of course, you know, I

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 5: come from a country where public railway is a very

79
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: common thing, but we don't have the disaster that we're

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 5: seeing in LA in some you know, parts of the

81
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: world where actually it works. Japan, for instance, has a

82
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 5: very good public transportation, but they don't have railways that

83
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 5: are taken over by like you said earlier, drug addicts,

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 5: mental mentally old patients, and also the ability for them

85
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 5: to actually live and defecate and do their drugs on

86
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 5: the train.

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: I went to Japan once for about five days. I

88
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: did not see one single person living on the streets,

89
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: not one correct. Correct, It just doesn't happen in most

90
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: countries and most cultures. This is this is an LA

91
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: phenomenon like nowhere else around the world.

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 5: So we have thousands, we have thousands of homeless. And

93
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 5: you know, when I say homeless, you know, people think, oh,

94
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 5: you're so you're so mean, you're just looking they're homeless.

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 5: You know, most of the people that you see on

96
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 5: the streets, you know that are chronically on the streets

97
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 5: are drug addicts, mentally yale alcoholics, and people that are

98
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 5: just basically you know, running around naked, yelling at power poles. Okay,

99
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 5: there's really no cure for those people, but take them

100
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 5: off the streets and put them into facilities to take

101
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: care of them long term. This is a homeless issue.

102
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 5: The reason where we're talking to even talking about killing this,

103
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: it's not because we don't want, you know, a train

104
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 5: coming into our city. We just don't want a train

105
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 5: of disaster coming into our city. That's really That's the

106
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: only thing we're trying to stop is a two billion dollar,

107
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 5: two billion dollars billion with a b of taxpayers money

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 5: to extend four miles approximately four miles, just to just

109
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 5: so they can come and dump a bunch of homeless

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: in our city. Yeah, it was too much.

111
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: What are the arguments for this? Just to take people

112
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: to a transit set of where there are buses? Is

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: that what goes through there.

114
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 5: Our buses right now are virtually riding empty.

115
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 3: Okay, I have seen your buses. They do ride empty.

116
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: In fact, count when the Torrent's bus goes by. I

117
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: count the people just spend nobody on them.

118
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes that figure.

119
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: Like everything else, these rail construction projects are just to

120
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 2: provide the unions with lots of jobs for their members.

121
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 5: This is not two billion dollars worth.

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is This is not some feel good politicians.

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: We're like, oh, look what we're doing for mass transit.

124
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 5: And it's not going to take any cars off the street.

125
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 5: You know, people think, oh, you're going to take a

126
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: bunch of cars off the street. You what's going to

127
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 5: happen is basically this. You're going to have people that

128
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 5: ride the buses that might convert to the trains. You're

129
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: not going to get this big influx of people all

130
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: of a sudden say, you know what, I'm not going

131
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 5: to drive anymore. I'm just going to jump on the

132
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 5: train to nowhere, you know, because I mean, really to

133
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 5: get from point A to point B, you need a

134
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 5: car here, you need a car here. It's a we

135
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 5: don't have a system to where it's so, you know,

136
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 5: condensed in a small area to where you can actually

137
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: get to work. I mean, we did it an internal

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 5: analysis that if you work at Robinson Helicopters, Okay in Torrance,

139
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 5: just to get to the metro station, you need to

140
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: take a couple of buses. And then on top of that, Yet,

141
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 5: where are you going, like, where exactly does it take you?

142
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: You're never going to be within you know, walking distance

143
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 5: of a station because we just don't have that many stations. Now,

144
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 5: that could be an argument, well, that's why we need

145
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 5: more stations. Not until we take care of the homeless

146
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 5: and vagrant and crime and and filth that's being allowed to.

147
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: Be u.

148
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: They become portable mental asylums. That's what all these trains become.

149
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: That's they are now.

150
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: Well, the end of the line, which we would be

151
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 5: the end of the line, scares the heck out of me.

152
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 5: All you have to do is talk to any community

153
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 5: that's at the end of the line and they'll say, please,

154
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 5: don't do it.

155
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Look beach at.

156
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: Long Beach, Santa Monica. I mean there's a lot of

157
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 5: end of the lines that have been destroyed and they say, well,

158
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 5: you know, what are you going to do? A train

159
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 5: comes at one o'clock in the morning. What are you

160
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 5: gonna do with people? Well, you're gonna dump him out

161
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 5: into a neighborhood and they're gonna be roaming down their neighborhood.

162
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 4: And then what right?

163
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 5: And then what we just don't have. We just really

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: don't have the ability our returns police department.

165
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: Is what town could well, what town could deal with

166
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: an influx of dozens and dozens of mental patients and

167
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: drug addicts coming in every night at one in the morning.

168
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: What are you supposed to do? There's nothing you can do.

169
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: You have to you have to cut off that line.

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: There's an argument that's been you know, keeps on telling well,

171
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 5: the train wouldn't be here for another ten years. By

172
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: then you should have you should have fixed the homeless problem.

173
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 5: Now go back ten years from where we started. The

174
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: problem has double trip or quadrupled. No, I mean it's

175
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 5: not going to be fixed. If anything, the needle is

176
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 5: in the wrong direction. So, you know, this reminds me

177
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: of the husband that's been cheating on his wife for

178
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 5: thirty years, then one day he gets caught and all

179
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 5: of a sudden he says, well, you know, from this

180
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: point on, from this point on, I will be faithful

181
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 5: and not. You know, so are are we going to

182
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 5: just trust Metro?

183
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: They're liars. They're liars, and all they're doing is keeping

184
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: the unions happy. That's all these projects are. High speed

185
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: rail is the same thing. It's democratic politicians keeping unions

186
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: happy with make work jobs to provide buses and trains

187
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: that come from nowhere go nowhere and end up just

188
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: carrying mental patients and drug addicts back and forth and

189
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 2: ruining neighborhoods where the transit stops are.

190
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: That's it, that's the truth of it, and everybody knows

191
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: that's the truth.

192
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: Well, Ridondo Beach in Lowndale. According to some of the

193
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 5: people on their councils, if if Torrance changes their position

194
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 5: of support to non support, they will take it back

195
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: to their to their council and do the same. We

196
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 5: need to all push back on this because until the

197
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 5: security is fixed. Now the Metro board is talking about,

198
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 5: you know, putting their own ambassadors on the trains, which

199
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 5: show what a joke I mean. You know some of

200
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 5: the ideas come from la is.

201
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: That is the joke. Word of the year is ambassadors.

202
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 2: At every day we're doing a story about ambassadors and

203
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: it's a complete joke.

204
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: All they wear vests.

205
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: You aren't going to solve all the crime problems and

206
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: vagrant and mental illness problems by having people waddle around

207
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: in vests.

208
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,359
Speaker 5: They got talking for ever, for every writer that's supposedly

209
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: supposedly every writer is going to be riding the train.

210
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 5: We could buy them a brand new Tesla and still

211
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 5: have over a billion dollars left over. Buy them a

212
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 5: brand new Tesla. You know you want to go green,

213
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: go green, you know, buy them a brand new Tesla

214
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 5: and uh and have fun because you know, being a

215
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 5: dumping ground, I don't think Torrance, I don't think you know.

216
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: I speak for myself, but I think I'm speaking for

217
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 5: a lot of people here in Torrance. We do not

218
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 5: want to be a dumping ground for LA's failed policies

219
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 5: over and over again to keep on trying to dump

220
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 5: their problems onto Torrents. We've done our share. We built

221
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 5: a little homeless encamp you know, not in camp and whatever,

222
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 5: temporary housing with forty little houses, just so that we

223
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: can try to enforce the anti camping laws because of

224
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 5: you know, the Boise marchin Boise case. But Nybays we

225
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 5: have a problem in the South Bay to where we're

226
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 5: basically being invaded by LA's policies fail.

227
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: Arelio, thank you for coming on the show today. We

228
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 3: appreciate talking to you.

229
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 5: Thank you guys for giving us a voice. I'm telling

230
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,119
Speaker 5: you that we need to all get behind a no extension,

231
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 5: you know, take the money somewhere else.

232
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: All right.

233
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: That's the Torrent's council member, or really on Matucci, who's

234
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: talking about the idea to extend one of the metro

235
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: train lines. This is the Sea Line until now mostly

236
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: known as the Green Line from Dando Beaching to Torrents

237
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: and of course that would make it the end of

238
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: the line, which often means it's homeless dumping time, and

239
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: Arelio doesn't like the idea.

240
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: More coming up.

241
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: Johnny NKFI AM six forty live of where I Heeart

242
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: Radio app.

243
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 7: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from kf

244
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 7: I AM six forty.

245
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 2: I just want to have one thing we just had

246
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 2: on a Torrents City councilman. They want to stop the

247
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: Aurelio wanted to get his last name right. That they

248
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: want they want to stop the the metro line from

249
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: coming into Torrance because it's gonna it's gonna be the

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: end of the line, and it's going to be all

251
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: these homeless. That's my whole point, the vagrants and the

252
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: mental patients. And Michael Schellenberger wrote a piece the other

253
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: day and he said, when things started going south in

254
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: the public debate debate is when the activists and the

255
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: politicians seized on this word homeless. He goes, it's a

256
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: propaganda word because they focused everybody on.

257
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: Oh, they're homeless.

258
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: They don't have a home, right, so we have to

259
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: build a home for them.

260
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: There are no fault of their own. They're out there adrift.

261
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: He goes.

262
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: If you refer to them as mental patients and drug

263
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: addicts every time, then it refocuses the brain on that.

264
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, right, they chose their their addictions. They

265
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: chose there the drugs that they took. That Distroy say, vagrant, right, yeah,

266
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: reagan is a good old purpose term.

267
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: Then it's not.

268
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: But most of them are are drug addicts and mental patients,

269
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: and a lot of the mental illness comes from the

270
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: drugs damaging their brain, and then the drugs come from

271
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: their mental illness and then trying to medicate themselves. But

272
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: that's what it is, it's drug addicts and mental illness.

273
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: I personally, I am going to try to catch myself

274
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: as often as possible and not use that H word

275
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: anymore because it's really distorts.

276
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: Well, it morphed into a worse one, which is the unhoused, yes, right,

277
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: the unhoused, Oh my god, or person's without a residence.

278
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: We're just talking to the Tarrans councilmen or really Onmatucci

279
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: about extending the Metro green line into the city. He

280
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: doesn't like the idea because that would make an end

281
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: of the line vagrants get off. Speaking of Torrents. Oh,

282
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: what's the cliche? No good deed goes unpunished. This poor

283
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 3: man made a bad mistake when it came to a vagrant.

284
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Here's this story.

285
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 6: From Fox eleven reporter Marla Tellias.

286
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 8: Almost got killed Ken Tashima, referring to this moment Saturday

287
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 8: ring video shows a driver of this gray niece on

288
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 8: Ultima allegedly intentionally running down to Shima, his body thrown

289
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 8: over the sidewalk hedge and his head slamming the pavement.

290
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 8: In fact, you can hear the screeching tires and that impact.

291
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, my head's cracked.

292
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: And it's bleeding. He rolled me over, I'd be dead.

293
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 8: Tashima sixty six, spent the night in the ICU for

294
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 8: a cracked and bleeding skull. He's home now, dealing with

295
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 8: headaches and hoping it doesn't get worse. I'm on medication,

296
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 8: I'm okay, and I'm going to go see a neurologist soon.

297
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 7: But I'm thinking fine.

298
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 8: And thinking fine, but still trying to process the hard

299
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 8: truth that the ma man who hit him. Tashima had

300
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 8: been helping for six months, letting him stay in his car,

301
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 8: the Ultima and this Torrance parking lot where Tashima is

302
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 8: the complex president. But recently business owners complained because the

303
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 8: homeless man he was like pooping on the ground and

304
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 8: making trouble. That led to Tashima seen here on that

305
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 8: ring video, telling the man he could no longer park

306
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 8: in the lot. You can see the man try to

307
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 8: pick a fight. I told him.

308
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 4: I said, look, I don't want to fight with you.

309
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: I'm a martial artist.

310
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 8: If I fight with you, I'm gonna hurt you instead

311
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 8: of his fist. Unfortunately, the man used his car, and

312
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 8: now Tashima wants others like torrens PD to be on

313
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 8: the lookout. If he did this to someone else, I'm

314
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 8: just afraid he's gonna kill them.

315
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 9: I feel so bad about it if that happened.

316
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: Did you see the video? He knocks him back into

317
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 3: a couple of plants. I mean literally, Tashima steps in

318
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: front of the car and this guy just ran it, goes,

319
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: puts him forward and just rams Tashima right over a

320
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: couple of plant their things on the sidewalk on his back. Yeah,

321
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: it's like he cracked his head on the back of

322
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: the curve of the sidewalk there.

323
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 6: I mean, why would you do this? I mean, yeah,

324
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 6: lesson learned, right.

325
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Don't be friend homeless people.

326
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: You can stay here. I feel bad for you because

327
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: you're unhoused. You can park your car here. And he

328
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: starts pooping, right yeah, yeah.

329
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: Well the just sim asked for it. You're asking for it.

330
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: I have no sympathy.

331
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: What you should have done is had him chased out

332
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: of the parking lot. You don't give him a safe

333
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: space there. You don't befriend him, you don't do favors

334
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 2: for him and feel sorry for him. He's out of

335
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: his mind. He's crazy. You don't try to connect with

336
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: crazy people. Because they're going to run you over.

337
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: Well, the story that just came out with the vagrants

338
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: came out of San Francisco. A study just revealed that

339
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: fifty four percent of the vagrants in San Francisco are

340
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: declining shelter. Does that explains again, you can't force them

341
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: to go into shelter. And even the mayor of London

342
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 3: Breeds expressed frustration, we can't do anything about this. If

343
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: they don't want to go into shelter, then they're just

344
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 3: left to lie there. And of course so many of

345
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 3: them are drug addicts, they're dead right right, Well, I

346
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: guess that's the way it's gonna go.

347
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: She says.

348
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 3: We can't force people to accept or stay in shelter

349
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 3: or unable to prevent people from setting up an encampment

350
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 3: in an area that was just cleared.

351
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 6: This is the situation we were in.

352
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: That I'll understand. You can't prevent them from setting up

353
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: an encampment. You have the cops just stand there and

354
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: say sorry.

355
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: You can't.

356
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: You can't like coming back, Yeah, you can't do that.

357
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: You just keep saying you can't do it. Because there's

358
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: a lot of places, even in La where they've cleared encampments,

359
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: and they haven't had the encampment's reform because you send

360
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: law enforcement or your team of ambassadors or whatever wacky

361
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: idea you have, and you force these people to disperse,

362
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 2: keep moving. So she's full of it, the way Bissetti

363
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: is full of it and Arslavsky's full of it.

364
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: They just lie. There's nothing we can do. Yes, there is.

365
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: If you read that court decision out of the Ninth Circuit,

366
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: they can have a place to say from nine pm

367
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: to six am, that's it.

368
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: So at six.

369
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: Am every day you could take an air horn and

370
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: blast them right out of their tent and force them

371
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: to move on. You keep doing that, They're not going

372
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: to be around long, all right.

373
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: We got more coming up, oh with trio politicians, more heckling,

374
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: more words, salads. John and Ken Show KFI AM six

383
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 2: to the podcast. It's good stuff we've had today.

384
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: Now I forget the presidential debates. The big talk last

385
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: week is that Gavin Newsom's going to debate Ron DeSantis,

386
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: but apparently over the weekend glitch popped up. The Newsome

387
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: people are not happy because the DeSantis camp responded with

388
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 3: its own list of how the debate should go, and

389
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: it differs on several big things from the Gavin nuisance proposal,

390
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: beginning with the date, beginning with whether or not there's

391
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: a live audience, beginning with whether or not there's opening remarks,

392
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: beginning with DeSantis wants to submit a two minute long

393
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: video that must be approved by Fox News before it's played.

394
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: At the top of the debate, Hannity says the event

395
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: will be a policy based debate to compare California with Florida,

396
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: but DeSantis apparently wants a debate to be far more

397
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 3: than that. He says it's about the future of the

398
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: whole country. So will they work this out or is

399
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: it just both of them saying well, yeah, I said, yes,

400
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: I debate, but he's being an idiot, so we don't

401
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: agree on the ground.

402
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: Inside it's not my fault. It's a penis swinging event.

403
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: Newsom's really insecure and he has to show that he's

404
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: got more man than DeSantis. And DeSantis is not afraid

405
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: of news at all. But Newsom is like this little

406
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: kid showing I'll show him. I'll show him. I'm a

407
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 2: man too. Look see I'm a man.

408
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: Well, someday Gavin Newsom probably will run for president. Who

409
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: could be his main opponent for the Democratic nomination? You

410
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 3: know or you love her? She's a Californian. Kamala Harris.

411
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: Seems like this happened I think twice last week and

412
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 3: then on Friday a new piece of audio popped up

413
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: that people are mocking. She spoke about the Biden administrations

414
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: overseeing the American economy. She brought up the topic of

415
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: investment in community banks.

416
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: Well, here's what happened.

417
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 9: And as the name suggest, community banks are in the community.

418
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 9: They understand the needs of the people they serve. They

419
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 9: understand the capacity and the opportunity such as the capacity

420
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 9: and the opportunity of this community that big banks often

421
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 9: overlook or just don't get.

422
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: Now, you know, we keep going through this every time,

423
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: but there's no answer and I've looked all over the

424
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 2: place for an answer. She seems to be reading these things,

425
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: but nobody would write this unless they're intentionally trying to

426
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: embarrass her. And then after having you know, you know,

427
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: fifteen twenty of these clips, there's nobody in the Biden

428
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: White House who says, all right, a new system here,

429
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: new writers. Yeah, you're right a Kamela. If you're on something,

430
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: we got to get you into detox. I mean, I

431
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: can't believe he keeps going on and on and on

432
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: because it's not like Biden. Because Biden's out there by himself, right,

433
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 2: and his brain is shorting out, and so he says

434
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: all kinds of like stupid things, right, because he can't

435
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: control his mind anymore.

436
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: But she's not. She's not in the grips of dementia.

437
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: Is I think they give her talking points and she's

438
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: supposed to take the talking point sort of like an

439
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 3: attorney in the courtroom, and expound on them.

440
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: But she gets stuck on.

441
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 3: A word or a thought and it just keeps revolving

442
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: in her head, and that's all it comes out. At

443
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 3: community banks are about the community.

444
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: That sounds plausible there.

445
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 6: I think that's kind of what's going on, because.

446
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: It seems like she's she's following some kind of a script.

447
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: But but nobody would do this, Nobody would do this.

448
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: No, No, it's a brain glitch she has, maybe being

449
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 3: in front of a group of people, she cannot get

450
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: her brain to get off of something that she thinks sounds.

451
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: Cool the community.

452
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: Now we move to the old people in Washington, d C.

453
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 3: We begin with Mitch McConnell. Of course, it was just

454
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago that Mitch McConnell froze up

455
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: while doing a weekly briefing about Republicans in the US Senate.

456
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: He is the cent minority leader, Republican senator from Kentucky.

457
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 3: What we have for you here is kind of nasty.

458
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: It looks like he got heckled at a picnic. Yeah,

459
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 3: the fancy farm picnic. A picnic a picnic?

460
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: Now were these his? Were these Republicans? You know, it

461
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: could be anybody. There's a lot of Republicans who hate him,

462
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: like the Trump Crawt hates him, and you know the

463
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: Democrats hate him. So I was wondering, well, who led

464
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 2: who got this this chant going exactly?

465
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: Well, the eighty one year old got up to speak,

466
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: and here's part of the audio.

467
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 10: We're up against the folks who gave you record high inflation.

468
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 10: We're up against folks who closed schools and then told

469
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 10: you that teachers unions know what's best for your kids.

470
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 10: We're up against folks were pea defenders walk free.

471
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: To get tough on cry that's loud. Oh yeah, glad.

472
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 10: Governor Basher finally decided to come to fancy. For him,

473
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 10: it's been the first Saturday in August for one hundred

474
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 10: and forty three years. But Andy only seems to make

475
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 10: time for you all when he's staring down election. When

476
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 10: we send a United Republican government refraned for this fall

477
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 10: on un stop for the defund the police movement.

478
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: The annual picnic for our farmers, and again in eighteen

479
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: eighty one is a church fundraiser for a Catholic.

480
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 10: Church, the middle class families who are struggling.

481
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: So it is popular for politicians to go there, and

482
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: he continue to support the cost number.

483
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 10: So this November, remember who gives Andy.

484
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: His marching orders ditch Mitch at the Biden and the same.

485
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 10: Radical as a Democrat right, our troops ban our gas.

486
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 6: So they could be Democrats that don't like it.

487
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: It's hard to.

488
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 10: Say into the socialist nation, Biden and Bashir aren't working

489
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 10: for Kentucky, and he might as well be on the

490
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 10: White House payroll.

491
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: He never stopped in his hot time. He was honest

492
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: is they're as loud as he is.

493
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 10: Fall for it.

494
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: This is encouraging, ditch Niche is also what they're saying.

495
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 10: So let's give the shutdown governor.

496
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: So it's hard to say which party they are or

497
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: whether they poor match.

498
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't even notice, he didn't, but you know

499
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: this is encouraging because you know bash and Yarasofsky got

500
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: severely heckled at the local meeting last week, and now

501
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: you know Mitch McConnell is getting Uh, I mean this

502
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: is just humiliating. Huh, I mean, retire, retire, Shame on you,

503
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 2: ditch Mitchitch, Mitch. This is the way everybody in office

504
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: should be treated.

505
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 4: The people.

506
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: A day for heckling today.

507
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a sign that everybody's fed up with the

508
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 2: whole system and finally there's gonna be rebellion. This is

509
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: the day I've long waited for. Do you get that

510
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: they're all a bunch of criminals and fools, and none

511
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: of them care about you.

512
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: None of the.

513
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: Last one to talk about his ninety year old Dianne Feinstein, Well,

514
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: of course, is almost ten years older than Mitch McConnell.

515
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

516
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: She's apparently given power of attorney to her daughter, who's

517
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: final in lawsuits on her behalf in trying to gain

518
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: SSS to the estate of her late husband. So again,

519
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 3: her late husband had children before he married Feinstein. So

520
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 3: you got one of these step situations where they're fighting

521
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: over the property knowing that Feinstein might be on her

522
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: last legs here soon, So the daughter's stepping in on

523
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 3: Feinstein's behalf. People are trying to say she's still in

524
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: the US Senate, but someone's got power ofver turning over her.

525
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's another absurdity. Huh. That tells you how

526
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: bad the situation.

527
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: She can't she can't even take money out of her

528
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: bank account, but she's voting every day in the US Senate.

529
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up.

530
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 3: Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

531
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 7: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

532
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 7: AM six forty.

533
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: Well, imagine to my delight and surprise something that I

534
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 3: don't know. Have I ever done this in years?

535
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: It's a good question.

536
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 3: I still get the printed version of the Elsagunda Times, right, Oh,

537
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 3: you're the guy, and I was flipping through it. I

538
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: just slipped through it quickly because I look at the

539
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: website anyway. And what made me stop And I never

540
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: read the section letters because the topic was the fight

541
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: to save AM Radio. They did a story on it

542
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: a week or so ago. The Times did about how

543
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: some of the electric car companies are not going to

544
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: have AM radio.

545
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: Right, we know about that. We've talked about it on

546
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: the show.

547
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: So I was glancing through people's letters to the Elsigunda

548
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: Times that had been published in this printed edition. I

549
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: imagine they're online too. I've never looked at letters on

550
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: the online version. And here we go. This one is

551
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: from Joe Cavaney Mount Washington, Joe. This is what Joe

552
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: had to say on the topic of the fight to

553
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 3: save AM Radio. As a Chevy Bolton owner, I exist

554
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 3: somewhere in the then diagram of EV's and AM radio patronage.

555
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 3: Without a doubt, though I would miss AM radio. How

556
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 3: else could I laugh my head off listening to John

557
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: Cobell of The John and Ken Show as irresponsibly slams

558
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: the woke media, brushes off climate change as a hoax

559
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 3: while Canada is on fire and ocean waters off the

560
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: coast of Florida exceed one hundred degrees, and trashes electric

561
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 3: vehicles as if he were a shill for big oil

562
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: to make sure the laughs keep coming.

563
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 6: I've hedged my bets. I have serious XM.

564
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: Radio, but we're not on serious XM radio, Joe, so

565
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: you can't hear us there that you got a shout out. Well,

566
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: that's I've ridden, Joe. I appreciate that, Thank you very much.

567
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he enjoys your diatrode. Sure, I'm glad he

568
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: over climate.

569
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: He must.

570
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: He must listen a lot together, I know. And yes,

571
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: I am a show from the oil companies. I get

572
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: a check every other Friday.

573
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: Well, you insisted, doesn't matter what happens, you stay in California.

574
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna hold onto your gas powered cars. So yeah,

575
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: because it has all no effect. All the stuff California's

576
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: doing has not affected the climate at all. It will

577
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: always be fruitless and pointless. But hey, Joe, go ahead,

578
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: you ride around your little toy car there. When you

579
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: press the horn, does you go.

580
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: Beat beep, beep beep. Yeah, he does. Chevy bolt your

581
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: chevy ball.

582
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: You'll probably get up to what forty forty two miles

583
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: an hour on that another last what about three blocks?

584
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: And then you have to stop for a charge for

585
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: a day and a half.

586
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: They always say that there's a percentage of our audience

587
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: that listens to us because they completely disagree with everything

588
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: we say, but they want to know what.

589
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 2: We're saying, right I no, I'd love to bring on

590
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 2: the haters. Yeah, it's good for business.

591
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 4: Uh.

592
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: This story we talked about last week has gotten a

593
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 3: disturbing twist. Stocked and police are investigating the seven eleven workers.

594
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: Who beat the robbery. The robbery suspect.

595
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 3: This was the guy who was empty shelves of cigarettes

596
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 3: and putting them into a trash can with the intention

597
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: of walking up the door.

598
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 2: It's like when newspeople go, he allegedly stole It's like,

599
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't look at the video, he's stole it.

600
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: Go the guy that took the videos, the guy that

601
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 3: was doing the commentary. First he was telling the guy

602
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: to leave, and then he was telling the seven eleven

603
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 3: employees that maybe you shouldn't do that, and then he

604
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 3: recorded the beatdown of the guy. Do you dig out

605
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: that audio eric of him in pain. This happened on

606
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: July twenty ninth in Stockton. Five minute video. He's emptying

607
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: the shelves of cigarettes and other products. The clerk step

608
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: in to stop him. The one guy pins the man

609
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: down with the other beats him with it appears to

610
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 3: be some kind of a pole. It looks like it's

611
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: like a wooden stick or something like that.

612
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: Oh you know what, that's stick beating video. That's the

613
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: one they're talking about. Oh, yeah, that's the one they're

614
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: talking about.

615
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 3: That's and now it's being investigated by police for an assault.

616
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: For the guy who is whacking him with the stick. Yes,

617
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: that's not an assault. He's defending his property.

618
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: Well, you're not supposed to use force. Unless you are,

619
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 3: you have to. This doesn't stand right again.

620
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: Because I want to hear I want to hear the

621
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: beating and all him screaming in pain.

622
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 4: Pulling, and now you can do it. No, I don't

623
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,959
Speaker 4: you do it, man, Don't do that.

624
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 9: Don't do that.

625
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Oh that's terrible.

626
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 3: So the story also has another twist on that date. Earlier,

627
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: it was like twelve twenty seven am. A seven level

628
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: worker said a guy came in simulating that he had

629
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: a handgun. When the worker didn't comply, he grabbed food

630
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: items put him in a garbage bag before leaving. That's

631
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 3: at some point later in the morning, the man is

632
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: believed to return to the store. That's when he got

633
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 3: beat He got beat up, so he came back again.

634
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 3: He started loading all the tobacco stuff in the trash bend.

635
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think he's going to come back a third time.

636
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 3: This was three forty five am. It was a couple

637
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: hours later. He came back and he started taking all

638
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: the tobacco products. Apparently there was a man later who

639
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: was requesting medically because of pain in his leg and shoulder.

640
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: But the man who police now believes the suspected seven

641
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: eleven robber, said he didn't know if he was assaulted.

642
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 3: You see, he wanted medically, but he didn't want them

643
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 3: to know that he was ropping the store, so he

644
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: was I don't know, I'm hurting, but I don't know

645
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: if I was assaulted.

646
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how this happened. It was a bad

647
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: golf swing.

648
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was the Sikh man who was there,

649
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: was the two Seak men. Yes, they have the turbans

650
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: on and probably immigrants and here there there bought a

651
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: seven eleven that they're running and they're hearing a manic.

652
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 6: Does it go fund me on donating? Oh yeah, they

653
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 6: do get charged.

654
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, they deserve a legal fund set up for them,

655
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: because somebody has to say enough of this shoplifting. Enough

656
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: if this went on every day, that would that would

657
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: reduce all this nonsense. That's these guys deserve a beating.

658
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 2: That's apparently because I mean, the city's not protecting us,

659
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: Saint's not protecting us. So what are you gonna do.

660
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to protect yourself. You're gonna have to

661
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: take action.

662
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's their business. And they've had enough. And plus

663
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 3: this guy was there a couple of hours earlier. It

664
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: already stole stuff. He's back again and he pretended he

665
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: had a gun before. Get rid of this guy. All right,
