1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh all listen says that the voters made sure that

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: California didn't collect taxes on lottery winnings. So wow, there

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: was some ballad proposition when they kidding all right, at

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: LAX this morning, something strange happened. There's a carbon dioxide

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: leak and it four I guess four employees were injured.

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: One had fell into cardiac arrest, and Steve Gregory is

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: here with the story. Yeah, guys, you know, this is

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: a kind of a crazy story because you know how

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: rumors spread and information gets out there, and it gets

10
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: kind of complicated because no one really knows the true story. So,

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, John, early this morning, there were four

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: subcontractors and they were construction workers that were in Terminal eight,

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: and they went to this hallway that's kind of behind

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: the baggage area, and at the end of these hallways

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: is a bunch of these electrical rooms. Now inside these

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: electrical rooms or fire suppression systems. And these suppression systems

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: are these very high, higher end, high tech ones that

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: deploy CO two and they deployed in large amounts enough

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: to where it sucks the oxygen now the room, so

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: no flames can ignite and spread so that's what happened.

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: These four workers, three men and one woman, were working

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: in this room. They said they heard a loud popping noise,

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: and people characterize it as an explosion. There was never

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: an explosion. And when minutes after the loud popping, the

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: three of them they realized they were not feeling well

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: because CO two is colorless and it's odorless. This is

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: carbon diox dioxide, different from carbon monox oh big time. Yeah. Yeah.

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: So they get into that room and when they start

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: not feeling well at all, three of them get out,

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: but the fourth guy collapses because literally the oxygen has

31
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: sucked out of his body. He has no oxygen, so

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: when he's trying to breathe in, he's breathing in carbon

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: dioxide in a very concentrated way, right, and this is

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: what people exhalexhale, right, yeah, And he collapsed and went

35
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: into cardiac arrest. So the other three got out called

36
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: nine one LAPD, whose station they actually have a unit

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: out there, kind of a sub office, if you will,

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: in addition to LAXPD, which are two different agencies. So

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: LAPD was able to get over there pretty quickly because

40
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: they're positioned way over by Terminal eight. They have a

41
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: trailer over there, and they got out over there and

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: they were able to start CPR until paramedics got there. Fortunately,

43
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: they got the guy to a hospital in Times in

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: his fifties and he was in critical condition. It was

45
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: touch and go there for a while, and but then

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: they got him up to speed where at least he

47
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: was breathing on his own. The other three workers were

48
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: treated at a hospital and released. Now the big question

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: is how did this happen and did they trigger something?

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: Was there a malfunction, So that's kind of the latest.

51
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: At no time, we're passengers in danger, That's what LA

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: Fire said, La City Fire. There was some disruption because

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, obviously when you hear popping noises at an airport,

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: everyone kind of you know, on edge. So out of

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: an abundance of caution, they moved everyone from Terminal aid

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: over to Terminal seven until they could determine what happened.

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: And then it took about a couple hours, a couple

58
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: three hours before they started kind of get back into

59
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: normal motion and things. They did a brief ground stop

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: of airplanes. United was reporting some minor delays early on,

61
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: but then they got back to normal as well. It's

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: an interesting way to put out a fire. Haven't heard

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: of that particular method? We suck the oxygen out or

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: had the carbon dioxide overwhelmed the oxygen. Yeah, that is

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: in a lot of electrical places, production companies and studios.

66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: They have these huge systems now where it deploys in there,

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: and for this very reason, you better not be in

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: that room when it's deployed because you won't have anything

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: to breathe, because they don't want the fire to have

70
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: anything to breathe. But it's a pretty sophisticated system, and

71
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: so what set it off? Yeah, we don't know whether

72
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: they did this accidentally or whether there's something else. Presumably

73
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the loud popping noise is going to be some sort

74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: of determining factor because if indeed they heard something like that,

75
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: that maybe there was a short, a spark or something

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: that backfired and caused this thing to deploy. And they

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: won't tell us what they were working on, so we

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: don't know if they were actually working on this system

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: when it malfunctioned, or whether they triggered something accidentally that

80
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: triggered the system is there and this has never happened before,

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: not to my knowledge, not at lax. And if it did,

82
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: certainly no one was injured. Does an alarm go off

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: to let everybody know, hey, you're gonna be at OX?

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 1: So well, an alarm goes off trigger. It's a fire alarm,

85
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: so it triggers like a central security system like it

86
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: would anybody else in any other building. But um, but

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: did did the four employees know that they have to run,

88
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: that they're going to be that? I don't know. I

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: don't know if there was any kind of a you know,

90
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: some sort of an audible signal inside of the room

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: or like a light blinking light, kind of like we

92
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: do here our fire alarms, the strobe lights. Yeah, but

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: it's to let them know of a specific danger sure

94
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: that in a matter of moments you can't breathe, you're

95
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: gonna die. I mean, I wonder if they all knew

96
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: that that was That's a that's a question that was

97
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: not asked or answered at the good question though, sense

98
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: of urgency? Right, I feel like you're getting a little nervous, John,

99
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: like you, well, do we have one of these in here?

100
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: I have one of those? Because they just put sprinklers

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: in or something. A great fire suppression technique unless you

102
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: happen to be in the room. Right. Well, this was

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: an electrical room where it can get pretty crazy quickly

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: if you have a fire. So they want something really

105
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: I guess thorough that immediately tamps it down. I'm thinking, okay,

106
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: so as we speak, Oh, yess yeah, I just said

107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: the CO two is a fire retardant. It was set

108
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: off when the workers were doing some Brazing's a that's

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: a cooking term. Yeah, that is a cooking term. Well, no,

110
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: in these cases, it's probably welding or something. Oh you

111
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: got you got the computer over there looking at They

112
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: were brazen b R A Z I n G. That's

113
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: what I was just told by sourced. And there was

114
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: also an alarm inside. So that's how that's why the

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: three people were able to get out. Brazing versus soldering, Yeah,

116
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: I think I think cooking meat is br ai sc

117
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: right right, Uh, this is soldering soldering, it's soldering, it's

118
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: sold soldering. But there are key difference apparently some similarities.

119
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: Being brazen must be on an industrial level with an

120
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: alloy of copper and zinc and high temperature. Brazing is

121
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: a process which includes a filler metal which has a

122
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: liquidous above. So maybe they triggered the fire alarm naturally, Yeah,

123
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: with that heat that they needed to be a metal

124
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: joining process or metal items are joined together by melting

125
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: and flowing a filler metal into the joint. Oh okay,

126
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: So it sounds like I'll bet you. I mean, I'm

127
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: going out on a limb here, But it sounds like

128
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: maybe in the product, in the in the process of

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: their work, they triggered the alarm. Yeah, actually says here.

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: Brazing actually requires lower temperatures than soldering. That's why sometimes

131
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: people choose it. So maybe there's maybe it's sensitive enough

132
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: to be triggered by smoke, because soldering gives us smoke. Yes,

133
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: And if you're doing it on an industrial level with

134
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: all those different metals and stuff, I bet there's some

135
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: sort of smoke component. And these were contract workers, yeah, subcontractors,

136
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: and they were doing I exactly sure the job they

137
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: would do it in there, Well they were brazing. No,

138
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what the I don't know what the

139
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: task was. Well, I think there's going to be new

140
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: procedures if this is what happened in terms of sending

141
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: people out to do a brazing job in a room

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: with the carbon dioxide fires a prisons. Yeah, well you

143
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: just got that first. It was brazing. The guys were

144
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: doing braising alright, breaking news from Steve grab All. Learned

145
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: a lot today which maybe you should just sit in

146
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: the room the whole afternoon. It just read these texts

147
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: that you get, you know what, It would be pretty entertaining.

148
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: He showed me some off the air so we could

149
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: be talking. You know, suddenly I gotta know one. Yeah, no,

150
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: he gets instant information. Here's a panel of experts. Well,

151
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: the thing is is most of my experts are all

152
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: listening to you. Yeah. Well it's a good cycle, right,

153
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: it's a great cycle. It enhances our knowledge. So thank

154
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: you very much to my source out there. He knows

155
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,640

Speaker 1: Gregor recovering the story out of Lax where a number

157
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: of workers were felled by carbon dioxide, including one man

158
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: that apparently is now breathing on his own and his

159
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: condition has been upgraded. It's in better shape. But he

160
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: was almost without a pulse when they found him. We

161
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: got more coming up, John and Ken. Oh what's next

162
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: is a keyword? You want to hear the keyword, and

163
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: then you want to follow John's instructions to possibly win

164
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: some money. Stay tuned for that. Kf I Am six

Speaker 1: forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app All Right, big

166
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: story over the weekend internationally was the stampede in South

167
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Korea that has killed more than one hundred and fifty people.

168
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: We have learned this afternoon that the niece of a

169
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: Republican congressman from Ohio was among those who were in

170
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: the crowd and apparently crushed. Congressman Brad Wendstrup announced at

171
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: his niece is more than one hundred and fifty people killed.

172
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: She apparently was a student at the University of Kentucky,

173
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: but she was studying abroad in South Korea, and the

174
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: family has learned that she was one of those people

175
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: that lost their life. How this happens is explained in

176
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: a fascinating story in the Washington Post. I mean, we

177
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: all know the feeling of being in a very close

178
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: bunchee crowd, maybe trying to get in or out of somewhere,

179
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: whether it's an amusement park or for me, it's it's

180
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: freaking so far stadium, because you have to if you

181
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: if you're down in the bowl, you have to go

182
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: up to get out, and everybody kind of merges together

183
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: to get to escalators, and they could get really and

184
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: then there's somebody drunk people too. You want to just

185
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: scream to get out of there. But and the escalators

186
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: at Sulfi get way overloaded and there aren't that many

187
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: of them. The internals of Sofi Stadium, like the concourse,

188
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: I'm really puzzled by, like a lot of it doesn't

189
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: make sense to me. I've been there twice now and

190
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't get it. I still can't

191
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: believe they finished it that way. What they were doing

192
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: few or a few games is they stop the line

193
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: getting on the escalator, so there's a little breathing room

194
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: between groups. They do that sometimes. But you know what

195
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: happened here. It's a hundred thousand people were crushed together

196
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: in this area of Seoul, South Korea, because they were

197
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: into heavy lockdowns for a couple of years there this

198
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Most of the people that die by the way in

199
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: their twenties and thirties. At least four of them were

200
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: even teenagers. And they think there was at least two

201
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: dozen foreign citizens as I mentioned a couple of Americans,

202
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Kennesau State University student named Stephen Blessie apparently also lost

203
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: his life. So they were out, you know, for a

204
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: good time. I whether social media called them to this

205
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: place or it was a big announcement that this was

206
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: going to be a gathering place that night, I don't

207
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: really know, but yeah, I mean it was. It was.

208
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: It was a Halloween celebration. It's a really big nightlife district.

209
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: They've got bars, restaurants, nightclubs, all that. There was live

210
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: stream of this and the real problem was there was

211
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: a narrow alleyway next to something called the Hamilton's Hotel,

212
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: and that's where many people got trapped in the crush

213
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: in an alley next to the hotel. And the way

214
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: this works if you're like a smaller person. Sorry Deborah Mark,

215
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: but that can be bad news when there's a crush

216
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: because it's more difficult to breathe when all those bodies

217
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: are pushed together and you're not tall enough to suck

218
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: air out from the from your from the top. Another

219
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: thing to worry about, things you'd get lost down below. Yeah,

220
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: that is another thing to panic. Yeah, well I'm not

221
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: going to panic, but I'm not going to put myself

222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: in a situation like that. I'll try not. A live

223
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: stream that began at seven forty one pm shows the

224
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: top of the alleyway, the intersections crowded, but people could

225
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: still walk through to get to the street, although slowly. However,

226
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: they talked to a professor Believe it or not, John

227
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Here's a guy that studies these types of events, including

228
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: something called the twenty ten Love Parade disaster. He said,

229
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: despite some narrow passages, the situation appears to be altogether

230
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: not or not yet critical, but he noted that pedestrians

231
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: can be seen temporarily halted at times in the footage.

232
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: Then another live stream comes. He's looking at nine twenty

233
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: one pm, about an hour to the first call to authorities,

234
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: and another professor said, this is this high density crowd.

235
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: They were still able to move, but there were signs

236
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: of trouble. You can see the static crowd and people

237
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: moving towards that area. It's an indication of a potential problem,

238
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: and it looks like looking at the video, they're trying

239
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: to move in one direction. I was wondering if sometimes

240
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: some people going one way in the alley and people

241
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: going the other way in the alley. I think that's

242
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: what happened, because the New York Times has an interview

243
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: with a seventeen year old girl, Kim So Jong. Yeah,

244
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: and she said it was a narrow, hilly alley next

245
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: to the Hamilton Hotel. We entered the alley at eight o'clock.

246
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: There were so many people we could hardly take a

247
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: step forward. We gave up an hour later and tried

248
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: to turn around to go home, but we couldn't move

249
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: in the other direction either. There were people pushing up

250
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: from behind us, and people in front of us pushing

251
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: down the hill in the other direction. And then a

252
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: group of young men made a hard shove down the hill,

253
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: chanting push push. Yeah. You know they have a term

254
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: crowd turbulence. Yeah, that's when individuals are carried by waves

255
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: of movement that ripple through a crowd. In other words,

256
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: you may not he'd be walking with your features, just

257
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna get lifted and pushed. Yeah, So these young guys

258
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: shoved people. A person in front of me slipped and fell,

259
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: pushing me down as well, said Kim. People behind me

260
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: felt like dominoes. There were people beneath me, people falling

261
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: on top of me. I could hardly breathe. We shouted

262
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: and screamed for help, but the music was so out

263
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: in the alley, our shouts were drowned out. So I

264
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: don't know what that those guys were doing. Were they

265
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: impatient that they think it was funny to try to

266
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: push the crowd along down the hill, But they may

267
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: have been the ignition for this disaster. This is Soul,

268
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: South Korea's I think it's pronounced it Tewan district. You know,

269
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: it used to be the red light district. Years ago.

270
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: There was a military base there and that's where the

271
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: soldiers would go to find some hookers and stuff. But

272
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: they cleaned it up and now it's become more of

273
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: a trendy place. That's a subscribed here for foreigners and

274
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: foreign cuisine in South Korea's capital, so people do like

275
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: to gather their potential young people. It's pronounced e Taywan taywan,

276
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: so it's a popular place for nightlife and that became

277
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: the Halloween go to place. The other night they drink,

278
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: party and eat. It says here, And there was one

279
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: report another thing there was not a lot of police presents. No. Well,

280
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: that's what Kim says. The alley was crowded and noisy.

281
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: People didn't seem to know what was happening. Several feet away,

282
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: people were filming the crowd with smartphones. Some were putting

283
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: on Halloween cosmetics, others shouting at bar owners asking when

284
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: they could get in. A few cops who rushed to

285
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: the scene, blowing their whistles, tried to control the crowd,

286
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: but to no avail. She didn't even know how deadly

287
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: the whole thing had been until she was on the

288
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: subway and she checked the news on her phone. Yeah,

289
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: I saw a story that people continued to party at

290
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: clubs nearby as late as five am, unaware of the

291
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: tragedy that happened not that far away in the neighborhood.

292
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: It says here that Halloween's a big deal in South

293
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Korea because it's a conservative society, So you have a

294
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: chance on that night to wear expressive and revealing outfits

295
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: that you probably couldn't otherwise wear. The holidays a rare

296
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: opportunity for those who consider themselves insa Korean slang for

297
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: someone who's extroverted, likes to have fun with a group

298
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: of people, to party in exotic outfits, so you'll like

299
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: to use that night to take photos of yourself and

300
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: really just go wild. I love cultural rules. Yes we're

301
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: very introverted much of the year, but one day out

302
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: of the whole year, we'll dress in costumes. You know,

303
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: it's common in Asian cultures not to stand out. You're

304
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: not supposed to so right, you're supposed to more conform

305
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: and don't conform. I don't really understand conformist cultures. I

306
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: don't know why people feel the need to do what

307
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: everybody else is doing and they're afraid that they might

308
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: be judged for not because it leads to order. It's

309
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: the fascist way, I know. It's it's just so strange.

310
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: You will, you will be, and you will get in line.

311
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: All right. When we come back, we're gonna talk about

312
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: the United States Supreme Court Today they finally heard it. Boy,

313
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: this has been around since twenty fourteen. Lawsuits against Harvard

314
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: University and the University of North Carolina over affirmative action

315
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: or race based admissions. Will explain what they're looking at.

316
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: John and Ken k if I am six forty live

317
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Hey Mike, glad you can

318
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: join me for some great seafood me too. Wait, why

319
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: are you dressed in fishing gear? You say we were

320
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: going out to catch great seafood? Right, yes to Popeyes?

321
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: Do you even know how to fish? No? I thought you.

322
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can catch you pretty good seafood at Popeyes.

323
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let Popeyes do the fishing while you enjoy

324
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: our delicious signature seafood. Get Popeyes flounder fish, saying what's

325
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: your shrimp tackle box? Before they're gone? Limited time at

326
00:17:53,800 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: participating US restaurants. Oh. Later on Friday, during the Harvey

327
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: Weinstein trial, the jury had to see pictures of his

328
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: of his genitalia. And there's somebody that testified today. We'll

329
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: get into this later on who said this is a

330
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise. They were assaulted twice seventeen years

331
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: apart by Weinstein. An accuser that testified, So we'll tell

332
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: you all about that. How does that happen? That is

333
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: weirdly weird. I know, some of some of these stories

334
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: are really puzzling to me. I don't get it. Which

335
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: somebody has raped you or sexually assaulted How do you

336
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: end up in a second situation with them? I don't know.

337
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'm going to look at the

338
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: story and see if there's some explanation from the Winnes.

339
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: Don't you want to see those pictures? No, of his

340
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: deformed genitalia, well because of this real you want to

341
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: see what's in his thigh? Well, because yeah, they said

342
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: they were relocal aded to his thigh his jewels, and

343
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: I just want to see how they do that, how

344
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: does it work? Just part of your fascinating curiosity of

345
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: the things. I'm fascinated by the human anatomy. I find

346
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: the human anatomy discussioning and fascinating. The US Supreme Court

347
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: is looking at an affirmative action case. It has been

348
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: banging around for years and apparently the lower Court's ruled

349
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: in favor of Harvard in the University of North Carolina,

350
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: but the Supreme Court decided to take on the issue.

351
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: And you know what helps the wild card. Chief Justice

352
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: Roberts he's been fighting affirmative action since he was in

353
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: the Reagan administration many years ago. Not a big fan

354
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: of affirmative action, and sometimes he can be a vote

355
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: that's a little tricky. So here's just a statistic for you.

356
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: How many people do you think applied to Harvard to

357
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: be part of the class of twenty twenty six, I

358
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: don't know. The answer is sixty one thousand, how many

359
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: got in one thousand, nine and fifty four. You can

360
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: get an idea how selective Harvard is. A fifty nine

361
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: thousand people were rejected. There's a class. There's also a

362
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: change in the culture. And since I went through this

363
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: three times and I ended up talking with a lot

364
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: of people involved in the system, is that I would

365
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: call it to what the hell philosophy A lot of

366
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: parents would get forced their kids to. I don't know

367
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: if Harvard takes the common application, but some years ago

368
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: a lot of universities agreed on a common application. So

369
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: you fill that one out online and that works for

370
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: hundreds of schools, and so that dramatically increased the total

371
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: number of applicants to any particular school, which all the

372
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: schools liked because they liked to brag how selective they are. See,

373
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: they want to take in sixty thousand applicants and only

374
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: approve two thousands, because you know, it's it's like a

375
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: nightclub that as a velvet rope line that's keeping people

376
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: out in the street. Right. The more exclusive your image is,

377
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: the more people want to come the higher you can

378
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: raise the tuition rates and between that and parents becoming maniacal. Right,

379
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: once US News and World Reports started this, they listed

380
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: the colleges numerically, what's the best school? Right, Harvard would

381
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: be first. Well, a lot of want to be parents,

382
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: not want to be parents, but a lot of parents

383
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: had this want to be idea that their kids should

384
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: be in the ivy leagues. So they forced their kids

385
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: to apply when you know, they got a two point

386
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: six average, so of course they're going to get rejected.

387
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: So the basis of the case against Harvard and University

388
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: of North Carolina is that a lot of it deals,

389
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: especially with Harvard, with Asian students who felt like despite

390
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: very good academic scores and test scores, they were not

391
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: admitted to the school, whereas others of different races were

392
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: given preference so that Harvard could diversify its student body.

393
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: It's Harvard's argument that they want a strong, diverse student

394
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: body so people can experience people's from all sorts of

395
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: different backgrounds. Now, the question is how do you do that. Well,

396
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: many selective colleges listen to this take a holistic and

397
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: that's what Harvard says they do admissions review process that

398
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: takes into consideration not only your academic credentials, your extracurricular achievements, recommendations,

399
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: as well as an applicant's background. The goal is to

400
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: ensure they enroll a mix of students whose life experiences

401
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: and outlooks can enrich the educational opportunities of their classmates.

402
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: And one of the things being contested here it was

403
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: like a student group that filed this lawsuit against Harvard,

404
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 1: is that when it came to Asian students, they apparently

405
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: didn't do well. Um like a almost a personality kind

406
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: of Yeah, that's what it is. Category. Nobody really wants

407
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: to say out loud what it is, but there's a

408
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of elite colleges that don't like what they consider

409
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: to be the Asian personality because those kids are they

410
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: work hard, They work like crazy, they study long hours,

411
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: they spend Saturday nights in the library studying. They're not

412
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily the crowd that's a whooping and hollering

413
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: at the fraternities and the football games. Right that that

414
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: that that's that, That's what people on the inside say. Now,

415
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: they can't say that out loud because it doesn't it

416
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: doesn't sound good, doesn't. What they're doing is they're stereotyping

417
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: a personality on an entire culture. And so what they

418
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: want they want more of the traditional college personality. Yeah,

419
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: which they runs headlong into their numerical SAT score criteria. Right,

420
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: the challengers alleged Asians were admitted at a lower rate

421
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: than even whites, even though their overall academic scores were

422
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: definitely better. All Right, So the question is, especially in

423
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,239
Speaker 1: a place like Harvard, what do you want? Do you

424
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: want the kids who perform the best on the testing

425
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: intellectually or do you want this personality test which seems

426
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: to discriminate against the Asian culture. Yes, they consider an

427
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: applicant's background, overcoming hardship growing up with grandparents who are

428
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: taking care of a younger sibling, otherwise making the most

429
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: of limited resources, the mission officers say they can spot

430
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: other candidates with potential and achieve the aim for educational

431
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: benefits of a diverse class. In other words, they're saying

432
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: that they wanted to do something for students that didn't

433
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: have the opportunity, for say, tutoring aid. Coming from a

434
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: wealthier family, you can get all sorts of help with

435
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: your with your education, and they think that these students

436
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: are probably just as bright, they just have not had

437
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: the chance to show that because if they're more limited

438
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: economic background, that's the and I and I I understand

439
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: that too, but you know, they they kind of these universities.

440
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: Have I heard this? I mean I went, we went,

441
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: I went to a number of these, you know, seminars

442
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: that the school's put up how to get your kid in.

443
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: And you have people who talk in like woke gobbledegook,

444
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: and then you have people who talk bluntly. And the

445
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: ones who talk bluntly will tell you if your kid

446
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have X number on the SAT, forget about it,

447
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: don't waste your money, you're not going to get in.

448
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: And then there's the woke gobbledegook who starts talking about

449
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: a holistic portfolio of life experiences. And you know, every

450
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 1: everybody has their story. It doesn't fit into a box.

451
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, most people don't come from wealth. You know,

452
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: the wealthy people really never have anything to worry about

453
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: with their kids. But the people and and and the

454
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: poorer people can get big scholarships, and there there is

455
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: a preference for minorities. Okay, but if you're in the middle.

456
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: You're in the middle. I remember my parents were like

457
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: this too. You know, you make too much money to

458
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: get scholarships, not enough money to afford a school. You

459
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: don't really have a hard luck story because most people

460
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: don't have hard luck stories. Again, most people are middle class.

461
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: Most most people don't have parents who died younger, any

462
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: any of those tear jerking stories that they look for

463
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: in the in the essay that you're write, you're just

464
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: a regular person. If you're more regularly you are, the

465
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: more the world is stacked against you in terms of

466
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: college admissions. By the way, what comes around goes around.

467
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: Some of the justices today and the more conservative were

468
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: really questioning the attorneys for Harvard, and one of the

469
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: things that they brought up was the fact that Harvard

470
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: went to a holistic approach to judging admissions in the

471
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties, and some accused them of doing that to

472
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: exclude Jewish students. So you can see how old this approaches. Well, yes,

473
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: I think twenties is holistic a code word for some

474
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of discrimination. Their answer is, all, we use dozens

475
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: of factors. You can't point to race as being the

476
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: only one. It's only part of the mix. That's what

477
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: they say publicly, right, but what are they saying privately.

478
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you there's a difference. Back then, the students

479
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: who did really, really well, it was a cultural thing,

480
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: were the Jewish students, and there was always discrimination against Jews. Obviously,

481
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: that's been a part of America for forever, right, and

482
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: now the new version of that is discrimination against Asians.

483
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: They just don't want too many of this or too

484
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: many of that. And so these college you know, they

485
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: they're good at the gobbledegook, and they're good at the

486
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: cover stories, and they'll go they come up with words

487
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: and you go, oh, yes, it's a holistic portfolio. Well

488
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: what is that? Yeah, I went all my life without

489
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: hearing the phrase holistic portfolio until you know, last ten

490
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: years trying to get your kids into college, and now

491
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: you hear this, these these magic voodoo words. There will

492
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: probably be any decision announced till next June. Anyway, Johnny

493
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: Ken caf I AM six forty live everywhere in the

494
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,480

495
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: race after the news at four o'clock. Don't forget the

496
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: voter guide, is there. It looks like there was a

497
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: couple of glitches over the weekend. Several people panicked emailing

498
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: the show before a guy it is messed up. It's gone,

499
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: It's there right now. I just checked it out CAF

500
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: I am sixty dot com. John, they're still sabotaging. There's

501
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: their guide. Only a week to go, so people are

502
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: starting to seriously reflect on their choices. It's the third

503
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: time we've gotten a report. Yeah, what do you suspect?

504
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: What's the conspiracy? I don't know. You don't know who

505
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: are our enemies. I don't know our enemies within hmm right,

506
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: I hope you have extra security. I doo, okay, you

507
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: got your bunker, you run too, that's right, Oh we

508
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: got we got Joe Biden audio. He did it again Friday.

509
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: He's campaigning in Pennsylvania for Democrats. I guess that's including

510
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: the guy John Fetterman, who's running for the US Senate

511
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: and slipping in the polls a bit against doctor Oz

512
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: due to his difficult debate performance last week. In this cut,

513
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: see if you can spot what's wrong. Maybe he's talking

514
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: about the Affordable Care Act and how the Republicans constantly

515
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: challenged Obama's Affordable Care Act. Here we go. They're gonna

516
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: try for their four hundred ninety nine time or whatever

517
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: the number is. They're still determined to eliminate the Affordable

518
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: Care Act. And by the way, if they do that

519
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 1: means not a joke, everybody. That's why we would defeated

520
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: in twenty and eighteen when they tried to do it.

521
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: We went to fifty four states. The reason is people

522
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: didn't realize that the only reason anybody who has a

523
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: pre existing condition can get healthcare is because of that

524
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: Affordable Care Act. Tens of men, folks, these protections will

525
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: be gone as well if Republicans get their way. What

526
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: was that? Not a joke? He's just not a joke.

527
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: He just blurted out. He shouted out ten tens of millions.

528
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: What was he talking about there? I would imagine people

529
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: who got affordable who got Obamacare, there was no pre

530
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: existing conditions. I guess context is shouting that out height.

531
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: But you did pick out the fifty four states. With

532
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: fifty four states, Yes, that's that's new. Some of the

533
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: politicians made that same mistake of feyears. Obama had fifty

534
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: seven states, Obama seven. Yeah, I remember a politician I

535
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: didn't know it was that many, Obama, Well, they counting

536
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: the territories. They counting. I thought he confused, hines, fifty

537
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: seven varieties, Obama did, Yeah, what's Joe up to with

538
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: fifty four? Fifty four? I don't know what fifth, but

539
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: with fifty four signifies I don't know when you can

540
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: see though, he's animated enough. That's not on the teleprompter. So, oh, yeah,

541
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: you're right here it is. You're right. Obama claimed fifty

542
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: seven states. Huh is this how they win elections? Do

543
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: they have extra states? Such a such a nice round number.

544
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: It's fifty states. Um, But what I'm thinking of they

545
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: thinking of Puerto Rico or other? I don't know. Well,

546
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm wondering. I'm wondering if they get extra extra votes now,

547
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: extra electoral votes, like they might have a different system.

548
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the conspiracy that everybody's always yacking about,

549
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: these these these extra states. All right, Well, I've just

550
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: been told that the San Francisco District Attorney Brook Jenkins,

551
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: the one that took over from Chessi Bodine after the recall,

552
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: remember her, Yes, she's out for election too. She just

553
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: spoke to the media with a de detailed account of

554
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: the struggle over the hammer between Paul Pelosi and his

555
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: attacker Brian Papappap. Alex Stone says, it's the pap today.

556
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: I thought he said to Pape. Did he say de Pap?

557
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: I thought he said to Pap, Yeah, because you look

558
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: at it, it's Pape, So I thought it might be

559
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: pap E. But you're right. I think it's pet or

560
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: Pepe or the Pope or the Pope. Alight, we'll play

561
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: some of the audio. It's not that important. Everybody knows

562
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,960
