It's been on our show many 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: times before, and he also fights the continued good fight 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 2: in Sacramento. His name is Bill A. Sali and well, 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: he's being called a white supremacist. Turns out he's of 12 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: Lebanese descent and is actually a Muslim, but he's being 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: called a white supremacist and all deals with affirmative action, 14 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: which is trying to make a comeback from some politicians 15 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 2: in Sacramento.

We're also keeping an eye 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: on La City Council. The current price is up for 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 2: possible suspension. He was charged last week with ten felonies 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 2: from the LA County District Attorney's office. And of course, 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: you see what they do after a case like this 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: is they suspend the legislator, the city council member. They've 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: done this in the past, but now they're having a 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: committee look at it. First three members of the committee 26 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: are hearing from the public and deliberating, and who knows 27 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: how long they'll take before they do or do not 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: recommend that the entire city council look at the suspension 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: of current price. So I'll be talking about that with 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: Daniel Guss from The Gus Report coming up later on 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: this hour.

And the first thing I noticed about that, Steve, 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: They is to cover non binary people. 38 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, because that's part of the new conversation now, you know, 39 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: And this was sort of born from the recent clashes 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: between parents and school districts over you know, whether or 41 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: not their kids should be taught alternate lifestyles in school, 42 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: and is at the appropriate venue to introduce children and 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: students to you know, LGBTQ plus lifestyles, you know, non binary, transgender? 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: Is this is this the appropriate venue? And that therein 45 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: lies sort of the rub here and so to our 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: special on Sunday at four pm. All we're really doing here. 47 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: We're not solving the problem, We're not answering the questions. 48 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: We're presenting the points of view. So we've been able 49 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: to curate the people that support educating the children at 50 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: an early age about that lifestyle, and we talk to 51 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: those who think that's not the appropriate venue to educate 52 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: children on that lifestyle, that that should be something left 53 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: to the privacy of someone's home. So we just present 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: all the sides of this issue, at least at least 55 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: as many as we can, and we do interview one 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: of the nuns that was at the center, is part 57 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: of the group that was at the center of the 58 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: controversy with the Dodgers last week, and so. 59 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: We Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, yep. 60 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: We interview one of the nuns, one of the sisters 61 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Sister Unity. In fact, we spoke with your Unity YEP, 62 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: and Sister Unity gave us laid it all out and 63 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: talked to us a little bit about their point of 64 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: view and what she thinks about all of the hubbub 65 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: and I asked questions about what do you think about 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: this coricium thing, and she gives us an answer on that. 67 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: We also speak with a young person who identifies as 68 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: a non binary transgender person and they identify as they 69 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: them and they just graduated from high school recently, and 70 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: so we talked a little bit about what life was 71 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: like for this person growing up in high school without 72 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: what they said was lack of information about what they 73 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: were going through and the transition they were going through, 74 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: and so we talk about that a lot. And then 75 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: we talked to a parent who had her daughter taken 76 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: away from her by DCFS and then put into a 77 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: foster care and then the mother claims that that daughter 78 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: was sort of indoctrinated into this alternative lifestyle and given 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: you know, gender blocker or puberty blockers and things of 80 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: that nature in school, and eventually she killed herself at 81 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: nineteen years old. So this woman talks to us a 82 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: lot about the problems that she faced as a mom 83 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: dealing with a child and having a school district sort 84 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: of dictate what the child should be going through as 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: opposed to a parent. 86 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: So we kind of cover a lot of bases. 87 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 4: Yeah. 88 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 2: First of all, I mean, the last two things you 89 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: talked about a non binary transgender person. They described so 90 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how to even they were either male 91 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: or female, right, and they trans sheldered into non binary? 92 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: Is that what she's saying? 93 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: Her assigned gender at birth was seen and then she 94 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: realized she said early on that she wanted to be 95 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: a boy and she wanted to trans is transition into 96 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: becoming a boy. 97 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: So but a non binary boy, non binary boy. So 98 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: now it was wait a minute, there isn't that contradictory? 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: Well, well, so she wasn't non binary until she got older, 100 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: so she was transitioning first. Oh ok, yeah, so but 101 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: that's how she identifies herself as a non binary transgender person. 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 1: So she's sort of Because I asked about dating, I said, well, 103 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: what are you doing in the dating world? I mean, 104 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: are you do you have prospects? Are you seeing someone? 105 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: And things of that nature, And we get into that 106 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: as well. So oh, but the issue was that when 107 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: she was a girl and she was starting to have 108 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: these feelings and urges that she said she didn't really 109 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: have anyone to turn to because it was un what 110 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: you know, it was not traditional, it was not the 111 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: same kinds of urge as her friends were having. 112 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: And how old is this person? Do you know? 113 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: Well, now she's eighteen, yeah, yeah, but so this was 114 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: I think she said she was ten nine or ten 115 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: years old when she started to go through those those 116 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: urges and those you know, those different points of view. 117 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: And so we kind of explore that a little bit. 118 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: And then we actually talked to parents of a transgender 119 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: child who is socially transitioned. And that's that's something I 120 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: learned from this too. There's a medical transition and a 121 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: social transition. 122 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 2: Well, I think we mostly understand medical. What's a social transition. 123 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: Well, you just feel like it, but you don't do 124 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: anything physical to yourself. So you go through the whole, 125 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: the whole process of maybe changing your look and cutting 126 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: your hair and wearing clothing of your opposite gender or 127 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: whatever the case is. You identify in every way, shape 128 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: or form as a different person, except you leave all 129 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: of the you know, leave all your body parts in place. 130 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 2: That's what complicates the story because now we have sometimes 131 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: the people that compete in sports right without transitioning physically, 132 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 2: which some believe makes them a bit of an overmatch. 133 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: Particularly what I'm saying is people who are born men 134 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: who now compete as females and female sports, but they 135 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: haven't fully transitioned. So that's one of the big issues 136 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: right now going on in some of the sports worlds, right. 137 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: And if we'd had more time, we could have explored that. 138 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: But we I mean, just in this kind of small 139 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: piece of this dialogue with the schools and sort of 140 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: the schools being neutral ground and neutral territory. I mean, 141 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: there's a there was just everyone has such an opinion 142 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: on this, and it's a very strong opinion. 143 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 3: I mean it's very very strong. 144 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the fact that violence is bringing out And 145 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: here's the thing I will also tell you some of 146 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: these protests. In fact, even the Sister Unity that I 147 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: spoke to you a few moments ago about said that 148 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: even she recognized the fact that a lot of these 149 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: people that were showing up against what they believed in 150 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: were peaceful. But you had a series of agitators show up. 151 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: You had your Antifa and your and your you know, 152 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: your anarchists and the Proud Boys and those kinds of 153 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: organizations were showing up in the middle of all these protests, 154 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: kind of messing the whole thing up. 155 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: The other story that you mentioned, I wanted to spend 156 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: a moment on you talk to a woman who said 157 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: that her daughter was given puberty blocker medications. 158 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, by the school by this Well, yeah, she was 159 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: counseled into doing that and going through the transition and 160 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: where to get this medical where to get this medical 161 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: care from? 162 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: You can do that without the parent's consent or was 163 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: there another parent involved? 164 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: No, that was that was her assertion, and that's the 165 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: problem she said she had with this, And because. 166 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: That is a problem, Yeah, you can't have the school 167 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: doing things without parental involvement. 168 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: And eventually it messed her up mentally, and she was 169 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: so confused and just so conflicted with her life. And 170 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: she says she ended up killing herself at nineteen. And 171 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: this was just a couple of years ago. 172 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I did see that woman's photo in 173 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 2: a story the other day and I was reading party. 174 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 2: But you had a chance to talk to. 175 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 3: Her, yep. 176 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, why don't you stay right there 177 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: because oh, and by the way, do you think that 178 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: some of this both sides exaggerate? That's what I get sometimes. 179 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: I feel like some of the protesters it showed up 180 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: in Glendale think this is all about indoctrination, and the 181 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: other side says, no, we just want to make the 182 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: kids aware that these people exist in society. But I 183 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 2: do agree you shouldn't be going so far as to 184 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: get into the specifics of the sexual behaviors of people. 185 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: That that's where I think the line is here. 186 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: Well, you're right, and so you and I, in our 187 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: respective roles in this business, have been covering conflict for decades. Yes, 188 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: and in both sides of this conflict are always some 189 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: sort of exaggerative points. 190 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: Whether that's how I feel about both sides are both 191 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 2: trying to pull people on their side by exaggerating exactly 192 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: what's at stake here. Besides the fact that this is 193 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: a very very small even Gavin Newsom said this, give 194 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: them credit that this is a very very small segment 195 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 2: of society we're talking about in general who've fallen to 196 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: this category of. 197 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 3: But they have the loudest voice right now. 198 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't you think Pride Month is really propelled that 199 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: just because that's social media and in the media's. 200 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 3: Sensitivity to this issues. 201 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: Now, these issues just like it was with Black Lives 202 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Matter movements and immigration, I mean, you know, and the 203 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: media really drives. They basically set the trend. Media sets 204 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,479 Speaker 1: the trend, so it always has. 205 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: All right, well, stay right there.

He said, 235 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: she said, they said, but Steve's also covering this story. 236 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: You know what stood out right away right away, Stephen, 237 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: this story, other than the Paris Hilton connection, was that 238 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: this guy calls himself Prince Fred, and Prince Fred of 239 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: course we knew as the husband of Jean Jacquaborg. Oh 240 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: my gosh, I'd forgotten about him. Yeah, he calls himself 241 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 2: Frederick vah onhalt on Halt. Yeah, yeah, I used to 242 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: call himself that because what I think he purchased the 243 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: title from somebody or something like that. Yeah, so when 244 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: I saw that, it's like I did a double take. 245 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 2: Prince Fred. But this Prince Fred who's got a pretty 246 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: complicated name. It's a free Dune Colilians, fair Dune Kallilian, 247 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: Fara Dune Kallilian. This man is connected to Paris Hilton Howe. 248 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: Well, he used to be a co owner with Paris 249 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: Hilton back in Orlando, Florida. They had Club Paris together. 250 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: It was a you know, kind of a pink themed club, 251 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: nightclub and whatnot. And and Coallillion was also partners with 252 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: a rap artist that was involved with putting out the 253 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: Beats head phones very popular. Beats had popular, so he 254 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: had he ran in some very very a list circles. 255 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: But this story begins back in nine when this guy 256 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: only described as John Doe in the complaint for the FBI, 257 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: met Kallillion in Miami. John Doe was working in a 258 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: computer store and Kallillion went in to have a computer repaired, 259 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: and he was so impressed by how John Doe fixed 260 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: his computer that they offered him a job, and he 261 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: got him a job. He was making three times more 262 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: than money that he was making at this IT shop. Well, 263 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: this guy began working for him. But then John Doe 264 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: started to see different sides of Klillion, and he saw 265 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: that he was basically running this robocall sweatshop and it 266 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: was targeting elderly people and selling them car warranties. And 267 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: he didn't like that. He thought it was, you know, unethical, 268 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: and it wasn't you know, didn't really care for so. 269 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: I see those ads on TV too, for those car wars. 270 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: It's it's horrible. And then I get my phone's ringing 271 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: constantly with these warrenses. So he eventually phased himself out 272 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: of that operation and moved to the West coast here 273 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, where he enrolled in some film classes 274 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: wanted to be a filmmaker. And then fast forward to 275 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen when the two ran into each other out 276 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: here in LA and it just randomly met each other again, 277 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: and then he told Collillion. He says, oh, no, I'm 278 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: doing films now. You know, I'm a documentarian and I'd 279 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: love to do a documentary on you. Collillian took the 280 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: bait and said okay, great, And so Collilian thought this 281 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: documentary that was going to be produced was going to 282 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: show his sort of his business acumen and how successful 283 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: he is, and the fact that he's a prince from 284 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: the UAE and he's got all these great connections. 285 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: It's just basically his lifestyle. 286 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: Well, this guy had different ideas because he had already 287 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: known what he was up to. So in his interviews 288 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: he was talking with girlfriends and bodyguards and other folks. 289 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: Well it got back to Collillion that hey, by the way, 290 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, this guy's asking some pretty weird questions and 291 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: a lot of negative stuff starting to come out. Well, 292 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: Collillion started getting a little panicky and at one point 293 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: he reaches out to a bodyguard. Well, this bodyguard had 294 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: been working for a very famous rap artist, whom they 295 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: do they don't identify the documents, but they said that 296 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: the rap artists had to go to prison for human trafficking. 297 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: So I guess if you really wanted to do the homework, 298 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: he'd kind of figure it out. So this bodyguard needed 299 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: a job, so he goes to work for Colilion. So 300 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: he starts doing Collilion's bidding. If you will and goes 301 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: over to the documentary guy, John Doe, and it's like, 302 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: you know, what do you what's this all about? Well, 303 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: he ends up sort of realizing that John Doe is 304 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: not a bad guy, and even the bodyguard starts to 305 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: see some weird behavior from Klilian. So the bodyguard and 306 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: John Doe sort of come together and sort of form 307 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: an alliance. And finally one day, Collilian tells the bodyguard, 308 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: we need to get rid of this guy. We need 309 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: to get rid of John Doe. Can you figure it out? 310 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: So what happens is he tells John Doe, I've just 311 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: been hired to kill you, and John Doe says, okay, 312 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: well let's do it. Let's make it happen. So John 313 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: Doe and the bodyguard stage a murder scene at an 314 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: apartment here in Los Angeles. Really this is in March 315 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: of this year. 316 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 3: Wow. 317 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: And so they stage this murder scene complete with photos. 318 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm actually figuring out, you know, I'm trying to get 319 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: the photo posted on Instagram right now, because they put 320 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: the photo in the federal document showing the murder scene. 321 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: The fake murder scene? 322 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: Was it a shooting and stabbing? What kind of a 323 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: fake murder. 324 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: All it shows is him laying face down on the 325 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: floor with blood coming out of his head, but it 326 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: was all fake, yeah, and his hands are zip tied 327 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: behind his back. 328 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: To convince Prince Fred that it's been. 329 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: Done exactly, So they send him a bunch of these pictures, 330 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: and at one point the bodyguard even asks Prince Fred, Hey, 331 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: do you want other proof, like, you know, a finger 332 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: or an ear or something like that. Prince Fred says yeah, 333 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: and then he says, no, you know, never mind, I 334 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: don't I don't want that. I don't want that. So 335 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: he goes back. They yeah, So they keep track of everything. 336 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: By now, John Doe's contacted the FBI, and the FBI's okay, 337 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: let's set up a sting operation. So they wire up 338 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: the bodyguard because by now, you know, John Doe's out 339 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: of the picture because he's dead, presumably fake dead. And 340 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: so the bodyguard starts engaging these phone conversations because Kallillion 341 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: still has to pay the money, but he's not doing 342 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: it all up front. He's doing little increments like one 343 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars here, four thousand dollars there through Venmo and 344 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: watsapp and other other online pay services, and then eventually 345 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,239 Speaker 1: they have enough material to where they on this. On 346 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: Wednesday of this week, they found Klillion at a dunkin 347 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: Donuts in Las Vegas and arrested him and now they're 348 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: extra diving him back to Los Angeles to face the charges. 349 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 2: Do we know how much Klilian was paying for this 350 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: sub murder? He wanted carried out. 351 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: To twenty thousand dollars? 352 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: It was two twenty thousand. I tell you what. John 353 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: Doe has quite a documentary now does Oh heck, yeah, 354 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 2: are you kidding? And now this is just really now, 355 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: it'd be a lot more interested in this story. 356 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: Hell, I'm thinking, God, everyone gets the breaks. 357 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it says here do we know what was? Because 358 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: Collilion was not happy with what John Delle was putting 359 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: together the documentary. I see some story here in the 360 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 2: Daily Mail that he may have been accused of sexual assault. 361 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: Klylian was, well, Colilian's got a bit of a checkered past. 362 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: He's got all kinds of issues going back many years. Yeah, 363 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: he had, he had. I think he had faced some 364 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: allegations of uh of assault, sexual assault business practices. In fact, 365 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: that that company is standing about with the Beats Audio 366 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: or the Beats headphones. They actually had a like a 367 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: restraining order against him at one point things got so bad, 368 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: so he had a really checkered past. The crazy thing 369 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: is is I don't even know if this where this 370 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: guy's from. Uh he's a US resident, but I don't 371 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: know if he's a US citizen, So I don't, you know, 372 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: I don't know much more about him other than what's 373 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: been in the federal document here. And I just did 374 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: a quick search online and found out, you know, he's 375 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: got all kinds of stuff in his past. 376 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: But this will be interesting. 377 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it says here Kilian now works in cryptocurrency. When 378 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 2: you read that, you think, well, there's the jack of 379 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 2: all trades, master of nothing in particular. We all was 380 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: working something nebulous like cryptocurrency or consulting. 381 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see, you know, where this goes, 382 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: if he ends up pleading out or because they have 383 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: a lot of evidence here. I mean, when I'm looking 384 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: through the documents here, the charge document, and you know, 385 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: it's sixteen pages and there's there's, oh. 386 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, the fake murder scene, and I'm sure. 387 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 3: There's the photo and everything. It's pretty interesting. 388 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: So all right, Steve, thank you very much. 389 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: How good Weeken Ken. 390 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: You too, Steve Gregory, KFI News.

There's a 396 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 2: lot of people that showed up and then decide whether 397 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 2: or not to send it to the full council for 398 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: a vote on suspending current Price. I'll be talking to 399 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 2: Daniel Gus the Gus Report next. Johnny Ken AM six 400 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 2: forty Live Everywhere.

We managed to rustle up moistline callers for 405 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 2: you round one around three twenty and again coming up 406 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 2: at three fifty. In between the mob will be here 407 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: to throw a hack into the dumpster. One of the 408 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 2: stories we're following this afternoon is an LA City Council committee. 409 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: Three members are deliberating and hearing from the public about 410 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: whether or not to suspend Current Price. The LA City 411 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 2: Council member faces ten felony charges announced last week by 412 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: the LA County District Attorney dealing with embezzlement. It's a 413 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 2: corruption case, another one involving an LA City Council member. 414 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 2: We first go quickly to Blake Trolley, who's covering this 415 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: for KFI News, and the public showed up in force 416 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: in favor of Current Price and Blake. Oh well, I 417 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: have a note from Ray that Blake's coming on first. Okay, 418 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 2: all right, we're gonna switch. We're gonna get Daniel Gush 419 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 2: from the GUS Report on first for his take on 420 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: all of this. Have you been following this, Daniel, Yes. 421 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 4: Yes, Hey Ken, thanks for having me back. Yeah, I've 422 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 4: been following it, and your sources are correct, as Blake 423 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 4: may be telling you that it is overwhelmingly the people 424 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 4: who are speaking are overwhelmingly in favor of keeping Current 425 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 4: Price on the council and representing them. So there's a 426 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 4: lot of very good will in his favor that has 427 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 4: very little to do with the issue at hand, which 428 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 4: is his indictment. 429 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're basically just making the case because he's an 430 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 2: important representative of our community. I heard them this morning 431 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 2: on the news. But the President, Daniel, as we have 432 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: seen with several of the city council members, is that 433 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: you get suspended, is it not? 434 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely? And what a lot of these people and they're 435 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: good people, a lot of clergy. There's a lot of 436 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: church like call and response, you know, say his name, 437 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: current price to da da da da da, things like that, 438 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 4: And they are about the benefit of the doubt that 439 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 4: a defendant would get in a courtroom innocent until proven guilty. 440 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 4: But the committee is about the rule that is in 441 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 4: place for circumstances like this, and most of Los Angeles's, 442 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 4: or at least the people who follow this stuff, is 443 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 4: familiar with these rules because that's what happened when markre 444 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 4: Lee Thomas had a similar but not identical problem when 445 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 4: he was indicted before he was eventually convicted on federal charges. 446 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 4: So this meeting is about the rule that the city 447 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 4: Council is supposed to follow, not innocent until proven guilty, 448 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: which is the rule in court. 449 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I heard. A lot of the supporters say, 450 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: he's innocent until proven guilty, so you can't suspend him. 451 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 2: But the president and the city charter allows them to 452 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: suspend him. In the fact that we talked about yesterday, 453 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 2: the city Controller says that he is willing to not 454 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: pay current price if he gets suspended, and that's what 455 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: this is about. Current price. Immediately gave up all of 456 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: his responsibilities on the City council, but he wants that money. 457 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 2: And it's you can tell people how much do they 458 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 2: get gus It's a significant amount, right. 459 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 4: I believe it's about two hundred now, because it's hilariously 460 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 4: that it is, and ironically it is aligned with what 461 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 4: judges make, which I think is in the two hundred 462 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 4: and twenty six two hundred and thirty thousand dollars range 463 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 4: a little bit more for the city council president and 464 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: the heads that come along with the power of being 465 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 4: city council president. So yeah, it's about a lot of money. 466 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 4: It's also about his pension, which is more money, and 467 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 4: his benefits and of course the next three and a 468 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 4: half years that he should is expected to represent on 469 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 4: city council. But yeah, it's about what the rule is here. 470 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 4: It's about keeping his money, but it's also a lot 471 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 4: about keeping his power. 472 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and that's what they're going to have to 473 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 2: decide now we know that there's three members of this committee. 474 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 2: One of them is Council President Paul Krekorian. The other 475 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: two are Marquise Harris Dawson, who apparently has already been 476 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 2: saying scratching his head over the charges, so he will 477 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 2: probably vote not to suspend current price. The third is 478 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: Hugo Sodo Martinez, why i've read looks to be in 479 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 2: favor of suspending current price. What do you think Krekorean 480 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: is going to do with this? 481 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 4: If history is any indication, you know they're going to 482 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 4: gushingly say that they respect that he respects Marquise Harris 483 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 4: Dawson's view and Soda Martinez, at least until recent stated view. 484 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 4: And I don't see any chance that the decision is 485 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 4: going to be made today. I think these politicians, although 486 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 4: it's really not a positive thing, I think politicians relish 487 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 4: the spotlight that comes in moments of crisis. If I 488 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 4: were to to look into my crystal ball, I think 489 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 4: they all want their moment to make a SoundBite for 490 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 4: the news media on TV and in the newspaper. So 491 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 4: I think that there is a subcontext here where they're 492 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 4: all looking to have their moment to be the person 493 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 4: who says it and brings it all together. They want 494 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 4: to have a lot of people in So I don't 495 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 4: see any chance that it's going to happen. The decision 496 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 4: will be made today. If it is, I will be shocked. 497 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 4: I will absolutely be shocked. I think it's going to 498 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 4: be punted to next Tuesday or Wednesday, and we'll see 499 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 4: how it goes. And I suspect that they will narrowly. 500 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 4: I think a slight majority will vote to suspend him. 501 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 4: The question is can he be suspended with pay or 502 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: suspended without pay, which was a big factor in the 503 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 4: close but not identical Mark Ridley Thomas case. So I 504 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 4: think a lot of things have to be decided, and 505 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 4: I don't think Grekorian is going to be the one 506 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 4: to say I'm king, even though he has a king mentality. 507 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to be the one to 508 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 4: say this is what's going to happen. I think he's 509 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 4: going to let everybody be heard. 510 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, in the Markedly Thomas case, the argument was, well, 511 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: these crimes that are allegedly occurred when he was on 512 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 2: the Board of Supervisors, not in his duties on city council, 513 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: So you can't suspend him from That was one of 514 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: the arguments that they made, where his price is being 515 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: accused of these crimes while he was a member of 516 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: the city council, so we don't have that distinction. I'm 517 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 2: reading a column I don't know if you saw it 518 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 2: in City Watch Daniel by a guy by the name 519 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 2: of Richard Lee Abrams who was wondering why Gascon did this? 520 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: And you know him well, okay, And first of all, 521 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 2: he has questions about the statue of limitations on some 522 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 2: of the charges here, thinking that time has run out. 523 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: But he also wonders if this isn't Gascon coming after 524 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: members of the city Council who are not the wokest 525 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: of the woke, as he calls it. 526 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 6: Oh, well, then why would he be then why would 527 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 6: he be going up the current price? You know, I 528 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 6: mean he has a lot of He may not be 529 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 6: the focused of the woke. 530 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 4: But I respect Rick. Rick actually has a background as 531 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 4: a lawyer, and so he may note those nuances of 532 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 4: the statutes of limitations better than I do. And and 533 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 4: he's a very opinion of the guy. He's a very 534 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 4: good writer. But but I think that's a lot of 535 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: who he just in the same way that Markeith Harris 536 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 4: Dawson said that that he feels that racist prosecutors are 537 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 4: are quote unquote hunting black politicians. Well, I only know 538 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 4: of one black politician who the fence went after and 539 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 4: one black politician who the district attorney went after. So 540 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 4: I think I think that people can see it through 541 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 4: whatever lens that they want, because if you look hard enough, 542 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 4: you can justify your opinion. But this is really a 543 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 4: matter of what do the rules say and are they 544 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 4: going to are they going to honor the rules? And 545 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 4: and Rick makes some good points about the statute of limitations, 546 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 4: but he you know, he said, he said he's going 547 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 4: to go back and check to see if there's a 548 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 4: flaught in his thinking because he has a very methodical 549 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 4: way of of assessing these things. And I don't always 550 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 4: agree with with Rick, but but but he gets his 551 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: views out there well. 552 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 2: Knowing da George Gascon and the people he now has 553 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 2: in that office doing a lot of the cases, I 554 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if they screwed this up, because that's 555 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 2: the whole incredible impression I get of that particular office. 556 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 2: So you think that this will dragon the next week 557 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 2: and eventually the whole city council is going to have 558 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 2: to vote on this, right, Yeah, I mean. 559 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 4: The answer to your question is yes, I do think 560 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 4: it's I can't imagine that it's not going to go 561 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 4: to next week because that means Grekoryan will be the 562 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 4: guy who decides it all. And I think, like I said, 563 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 4: I think you're going to see all sorts of grand 564 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 4: standing about it, and which is unfortunate because this is 565 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 4: a criminal matter that goes far beyond bigamy. It's it's 566 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 4: conflict of interest, it's doesn't meant et cetera, et cetera, 567 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 4: and and and you know that's what it's about. What 568 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 4: do we do in circumstances like this? And are we 569 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 4: going to follow the rules? And another thing is it 570 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 4: sets the precedent for the next case, because I have 571 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 4: zero zero confidence that this will be the last one. 572 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 4: And I think some pretty big names it would not 573 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 4: surprise me if they are indicted, current elected officials and 574 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 4: recent elected officials. And so the question is, now, what 575 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 4: are you going to do so that the next time 576 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 4: this comes up, you're not going to have another conflict 577 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 4: of interests? But right now people are just playing the 578 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 4: race card about it, and so far, at least as 579 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 4: far as the meeting that Blake is in. And by 580 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 4: the way, it's a very small room with lots of overflow. 581 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 4: They chose a very small room in City Hall for 582 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 4: this kind of thing. Only a couple of dozen people 583 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 4: can be there at one time. 584 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, and. 585 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 4: Of course all of the regular coops are there, and 586 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 4: they all have their own agenda and they want. 587 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: To That's what I wonder if it was the Kevin 588 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: day Own people that was screaming about him resigning. It's 589 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 2: the same crowd. I know. There's a lot of activists, 590 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 2: so I thought it might be some of the same 591 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: people trying to keep Current Price on the council. All right, Daniel, 592 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 2: I gotta go, but I'll probably be talking to you 593 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: again next week, Daniel Gus the Gus. 594 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 4: Report anytime you need me. Ken, thank you and I'll 595 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 4: pluck you soon. 596 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: Okay. You can follow him on substack and also at 597 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: the gust Report on Twitter. We got more coming up. 598 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: We'll play some of this audio from the mob that 599 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 2: is shown up in supportive Current Price when I come back, 600 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: Johnny KENKF I am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 601 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 602 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 603 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: Three o'clock hour is here Friday. So we got two 604 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 2: rounds of the Moist Line coming your way. The first 605 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: up around three twenty and the next at the end 606 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: of the show around three point fifty. In between, we 607 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 2: will throw a hack in the dumpster, and it's directly 608 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 2: related to the guests we're going to have coming on 609 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: the air after three o'clock. A Republican assembly member by 610 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: the name of Ila Sali who is being called a 611 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 2: white supremacist. And it all deals with affirmative action, which 612 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 2: the voters first voted against affirmative action back in the 613 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 2: early two thousands. That was actually nineteen ninety six. We 614 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 2: voted for Proposition two nine. That was reaffirmed in twenty 615 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 2: twenty with another attempt to scale back the movement against 616 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: affirmative action in the state. Anyway, there is an assembly 617 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 2: member in Sacramento that's trying to open the door again 618 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 2: to affirmative action, and because Bill was opposed, he's now 619 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 2: being labeled as a white supremacist or a supporter of 620 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 2: white supremacists. We'll be in the whole story coming up 621 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 2: right after the news at three o'clock on the John 622 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 2: and Ken Show. Well, we've been following the action at 623 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: La City Hall, the City Council. It's got a three 624 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: person committee which is hearing from the public. It's probably 625 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: going to go on for many hours about whether or 626 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 2: not to suspend Current Price. Current Price was charged last 627 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 2: week with ten felonies by the Los Angeles County District Attorney. 628 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 2: He is the fourth member of the Los Angeles City 629 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 2: Council in just the last several years to be charged 630 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 2: with crimes. The others either plot out or were convicted. 631 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 2: Blake Trolley's covering this for KFI News, and he sent 632 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 2: us some audio of the of the mob that's shown 633 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 2: up in Current Prices favor. 634 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 3: Let's let's listen. 635 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 7: So, okay, what what I want to really want? I have, 636 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 7: I have my notes. I'm just I made a comment 637 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 7: yesterday that if we were on the on the West 638 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 7: side and council member and somebody mentioned this he was 639 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 7: a Caucasian man, he would be innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, 640 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 7: regardless of his accolades, regard you, everyone's heard everything he's 641 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 7: done he's doing in our community. At the end of 642 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 7: the day. He's a black man that is fighting. He's 643 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 7: being treated as he's guilty and he has to prove 644 00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 7: his innocence. 645 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 3: This is sad. 646 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 7: We have to stop this. We are in our community 647 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 7: where all folks that look like us are fighting that. 648 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 7: So I do ask everyone that you really take a 649 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 7: step back and not suspend our council and our voice 650 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 7: from our community. 651 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you very much. 652 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: Now it's one of the speakers today at the Lacity 653 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 2: council meeting who was making the case. And I'm trying 654 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: to look this up on the fly here because the 655 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 2: only one of the four I mentioned that had previously 656 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: been charged on the city council with some form of 657 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 2: corruption was from the valley, Mitch Englander. Mitch Englander is 658 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: a white guy. He's not from the West Side, but 659 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 2: he's from the San Fernando Valley, and of course he 660 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 2: was charged by the FEDS with corruption. He eventually pled 661 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 2: out in the case and did serve some time, but 662 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 2: I was trying to see whether or not he got suspended. 663 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 2: He eventually did get sentence to prison. He served three 664 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 2: years and he had to pay a fine, but I'm 665 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 2: not sure whether or not he actually got suspended. I'm 666 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 2: trying to find that, but I would imagine that's the course. 667 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 2: We know what happened with Mark Ridley. I mean, honestly, 668 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 2: that's the problem we're having here with this entire case 669 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 2: is the city council is walking on eggshells. We all 670 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: know what happened last year. One of the three Latino 671 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 2: City council members, Gil Sidio and Kevin de Leon, they 672 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 2: were talking about representation on the city council and they 673 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 2: were trying to find a way to figure out if 674 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 2: they could get more Latinos elected to city council office. 675 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 2: I read a story about the current Prices district and 676 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 2: even though the black population is way down from where 677 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 2: it was twenty or thirty years ago, black voters are 678 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 2: still about twenty five percent of the turnout, even though 679 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 2: their representation is less than that. It's a largely Latino district. 680 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 2: So they're very sensitive now, particularly, you know, since what 681 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 2: happened in twenty twenty to George Floyd and the whole 682 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 2: movement in the country concerning the awakening, the wokeness, the reckoning, 683 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 2: all these different words from it. Very sensitive now at 684 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 2: issues involving black politicians, particularly if they've been charged with crimes, 685 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 2: and of course this crowd just shows up to say 686 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 2: that it's racist. He's innocent until proven guilty. You can't 687 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: do anything until he's had his day in court and 688 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 2: he's made his case. But that's not the precedent. They 689 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 2: are allowed to suspend, particularly when it comes to felonies, 690 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 2: and that's what they should do in this case. But 691 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 2: I think this is going to get dragged out for 692 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 2: several days. And as we talked about with the Daniel 693 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 2: Guss from the Gus Report, the guy in the middle 694 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 2: of all this is the city council President, Paul Krekorian, 695 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 2: because he may be the deciding vote. This is a 696 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 2: three person committee and if two decide on suspension, then 697 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 2: it goes to the full city Council to vote on. 698 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 2: If they decide against suspension, I guess the whole issue 699 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 2: was dead. So with one vote in favor and one 700 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 2: vote against is what we think might happen. You go Soda. 701 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 2: Martinez decides he's not gonna vote for suspension because this 702 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: crowd turned out. We talked to Blake earlier in the show. 703 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 2: He said that the Krekorian wanted to make sure that 704 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 2: we had public input before we made this decision. It's 705 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 2: very important to him. Well, the public input today, that's 706 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 2: what he's gonna go by is a room full of 707 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 2: current price supporters who we're going to make the case 708 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 2: that he should not be suspended. So if that's how 709 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 2: he's going to decide, which is ridiculous, that's what kind 710 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 2: of an imbecile we're dealing with in Paul Krekorian. So 711 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 2: we'll keep an eye on this story. Then he develops 712 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 2: in the next hour before we go off, we'll bring 713 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 2: it to you with Blake Trolley covering this for KFI News. 714 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: All right, when I return, we're gonna have a conversation 715 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 2: with an in An Empire State Assembly member by the 716 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: name of Bill A. Sale and he he is being 717 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 2: called a white supremacist by a black member of the Assembly, 718 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,439 Speaker 2: also from the Inland Empire. And this deals with affirmative action. 719 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 2: The voters in California voted in nineteen ninety six to 720 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 2: ban affirmative action when it comes to most government services, 721 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 2: and then the voters kept that going in twenty twenty 722 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 2: when there was an attempt to dismantle part of the 723 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 2: law against affirmative action. Well, there's another attempt in Sacramento 724 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 2: to put before voters a constitutional amendment dealing with the 725 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 2: affirmative action, and Bill went on the record against it, 726 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 2: and now he's being called a white supremacist. We'll play 727 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 2: some of the audio, bring you the full story.
