1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: CAF I AM six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We're

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: on the radio from MONE until four. After four o'clock,

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: you could listen to the John and Kenn podcast Johnny

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Ken on demand. It's posted on the iHeart app after four.

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: And as you probably heard in the news, Ford Motor

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Company is going to be putting AM radios in their

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four models. They'd announced that some models there

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: would be no AM radio. They did it because of

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: pressure from the federal government over the emergency broadcast system

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and AM radio's role in promoting emergencies. And I just

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: got worried that CAFI is changing its format to all

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: emergency radio in about an hour.

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Its We just played the emergency broadcast signal test there,

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 2: so I guess we're getting ready for the switch over.

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you play a song over and

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: over again and you can change format. You and I

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: are going to sit here every day for three hours

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: and just broadcast emergencies.

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: I remember station did that years ago, and they kept

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: playing La Bamba d d da bamba did They played

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: it for twenty four hours until yeah, to all change format. Well,

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: it going to be a very irritating song. I have

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: to hear it twice, so imagine tuning in it just

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 2: keeps playing a loop.

26
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that song. I hated that you did. I

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: remember being a disc jockey play man. It's like, yeah, jeez,

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: uh no, oh yeah, the Moist line. I was remind you.

Speaker 3: All right.

38
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: We moved to the very safe trained transportation system in

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: the County of Los Angeles run by Metro, and we

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: have a story of another attack.

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: We're going to start with.

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: ABC News reporter Sophie Flay reporting on a woman who

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: did not want to be identified, saying she was attacked

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: on a Metro train in Long Beach.

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 4: This fifty three year old woman says she was attacked

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: and punched in the face on a Metro train by

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 4: another passenger.

48
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna die.

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 4: She did not feel comfortable sharing her name due to

50
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: safety concerns. The victim says she boarded the train with

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: her friend at the downtown Long Beach station around five

52
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: pm Wednesday. The victim says this man was sitting behind them.

53
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: Then two women got on the train with the dog,

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: one with a colorful head wrap and one in a

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 4: yellow shirt.

56
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: They were walking up and down the aisles with their

57
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: dog and my friend. He was afraid that a one

58
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: of them would fall, so he strapped out his hand

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: and tried to help the woman in case she fell.

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: And I told him that that didn't look good. It's like,

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: take your hand off because you're a man, she's a woman.

62
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: Don't do that. And all of a sudden, the man

63
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: right behind me started screaming, you Asian woman, You don't

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: tell him, you know, say anything to him.

65
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 5: The victim says.

66
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: They began to argue, catching the attention of the woman

67
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 4: in the yellow shirt. The victim says that woman then

68
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 4: jumped in, using racial slurs aimed at her.

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: She came toward me and my friend was close by,

70
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: but basically I try to get out of way, and

71
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: she's start punching me and then I feel it backward,

72
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: and then she got pudging right here, and then how

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 3: was I trying to block? And luckily my friend finally

74
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: blocked her.

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: And eyewitnessed on the train twhile I'm Ahone did not

76
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: want to share her face on camera, but told us

77
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: the victim was on the phone with police while trying

78
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: to get the conductor to stop the train for eleven minutes.

79
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Was a brutal attack.

80
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: This is a very, very brutal attack that should have never.

81
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: Happened, according to Mahone. The train finally stopped at the

82
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: Artisia station. The victim says the man who first her

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: intentionally knocked her phone out of her hand, shattering it.

84
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: All suspects fled the scene before police arrived. A statement

85
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: from the Long Beach Police Department said, in part, suspect

86
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: information and the motive for the battery is under investigation.

87
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: At this time, there is no information to indicate this

88
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: is a hate or bias motivated incident. The investigation is ongoing.

89
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: The victim says she doesn't take the train every day,

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: but she says after this attack, she may never take

91
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: a metro train again.

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: So that's a good idea. Yeah, or take a metro

93
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: train again. And this is for everybody, you'll all live

94
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: a little bit longer.

95
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: It's kind of an odd story, as she explained it too, right,

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: a woman gets on the train with a couple of dogs,

97
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: and my friend was afraid she was going to fall,

98
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: so he reached out and touched her and said, you

99
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: shouldn't do that, and then what chaos broke loose? Lot's

100
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: crazy people, I know, I mean half the passengers are

101
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: nuts too. And this is in the afternoon, yes, says

102
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: it like it was two in the morning or something

103
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: like this. So this led Johnnis Han to emerge. I

104
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: guess this is part of her super virt Zeroo District.

105
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: LA County Supervisor Jennis Hans yesterday's meeting of the La

106
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: County Board of Supervisors was demanding that we got some

107
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: of the audio. Where were the safety ambassadors? Let's listen

108
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: to cut number two.

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 6: First thing I am asking for is a full investigation.

110
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 6: We're spending a lot of money for a lot of

111
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 6: layers of security on our system. One hundred and seventy

112
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 6: five million dollars we spend for lawn enforcement then on

113
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 6: top of that, we have two hundred and seventy five

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 6: people that are just La Metro security team. And then

115
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 6: on top of that, we just hired three hundred ambassadors.

116
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 6: So the first thing I want to find out is

117
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 6: where was everybody when that attack happened.

118
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 7: This one really hit hard because I'm wondering where everybody

119
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 7: was that we hired. I'm surprised, you know that, you know,

120
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 7: people are even still riding the system. It is not

121
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 7: appearing to be safe.

122
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: Just now. This has been going on for so many

123
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: years years.

124
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, why is she really ticked up during the pandemic,

125
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: because that's all that was left on the train, where

126
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: the homeless and the criminals.

127
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: Why is she agitated today about we had one poor

128
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: guy he was set fire twice, Yeah, by a vagrant.

129
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: I didn't remember Tennis Hans saying anything about that and all.

130
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: So remember that video montage Steve Gregory, I think broke

131
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: the story. Yes, oh yeah, that's right, with all the

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: people getting beaten and stabbed and shot at on security camera,

133
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: she didn't say anything. Now, the story is that a

134
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: lot of the police don't actually ride the trains. They

135
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: stay in their vehicles, and if there's a call, then

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: they come to investigate.

137
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: But the ambassadors I thought were supposed to be on

138
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: the trains, now three hundred of them. I don't know

139
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: whether three from don't all work at once. What's the

140
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: ambassador going to do?

141
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: Somebody tried to call the train and conductor or heard

142
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: that you wouldn't stop the train for eleven minutes?

143
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: How does it? How does that work? How do you

144
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: contact the train conductor?

145
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: Is there some trains have phones that you pick up, Yeah,

146
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: emergency phones. And I haven't been on the it's the

147
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: blue line, but that's called the A line.

148
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: But if there's somebody who's jumped you and is pummeling you,

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: you can't get on the phone. I mean years ago.

150
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: I think after it happened, she tried to get them

151
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: to stop the train so they could take some action

152
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: against the because I guess they jumped off when the

153
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: train stopped.

154
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: Well, they remember the old fashioned trains. I saw this

155
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: in the movies. But the cord, you could pull the cord,

156
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: the whole thing would stop dead. I don't know if

157
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: that was real or not. It's the emergency brake.

158
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the emergency brake. You can just do that as

159
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: a prank. And I think they had the subways in

160
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: New York too.

161
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't get this. She just noticed now that

162
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: it's a hell hole to get on those trains. And

163
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: what is it? What are what are the ambassadors posted to?

164
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: Keep asking this. If you don't have observing report, if

165
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: you don't have a weapon, you're just another passenger you

166
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: can get They don't want to get stabbed and beaten

167
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: or shot. And what's why aren't the cops in the

168
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: trains themselves. What's the point of having them in a

169
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: patrol car outside the station? Right?

170
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: They can only respond to incidents. They can't prevent anything

171
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: if they're not there is to be seen.

172
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: If you get assaulted between stops and it's eleven minutes

173
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: before the conductor acknowledges what's going on, you're a sitting duck.

174
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna get killed. New York's not the safest place.

175
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: But I was just there a couple of weeks ago,

176
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: and they're all they're not on the subways, but they're

177
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: in the subway stations walking around. There are crops everywhere,

178
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: and particularly in the busier stations, and the stops are

179
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: frequent in New York. They are right right, all right.

180
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: When we come back. A follow up story to this

181
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: comes from KTLA Channel five, asking women, do you feel

182
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: safe on the metro system. We'll talk about that and

183
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: play that story. Johnny Ken kf I AM six forty.

184
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

185
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 8: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

186
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 8: AM six forty.

187
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: A lot of as he told you, a lot of

188
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: news of crazy people today. This is a different quick

189
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: story here. Apparently on a Frontier airline's flight over the weekend,

190
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: a belligerent woman was asked to leave the plane. On

191
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: her way off the plane, she grabbed the intercom phone

192
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: and beat the flight attendant with it. That's a new one,

193
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: you know, the one at the front of the plane

194
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: that the lifted. Give me those boring instructions that they

195
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: read from there. I've had that urge while they're droning on.

196
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: But they're silly instructions. It's like, I'm gonna grab that thing.

197
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: Beat. Please extinguish all smoking materials. All right.

198
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: So we're talking about safety on the Metro system of

199
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: Los Angeles County. That's the train and buses. They claim

200
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: that the buses, John, are a little better. But the

201
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: trains have really gotten This is all the stabbings have happened.

202
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: I see the people flying by on the buses in

203
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: the morning. I'm not going on those buses. Well, they said,

204
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: it's a little tommer there. When you're underground.

205
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: On these trains, there's more anonymity, there's more chance to yeah,

206
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: even if you're not underground, the train is swiftly moving by,

207
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: it's tougher for people to see much of what's going

208
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: on there. So, like you see the people on the buses,

209
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: you see some guy up there with a cane smashing people,

210
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: you'd be like, hey, no, you wouldn't use it underground though.

211
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: So here's a report from Channel five KTLA reporter Anna

212
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: rose Ramos, and it's about women in Metro.

213
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: It's eight thirty in the morning and Morgan de Los

214
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 5: Reyes is on our way to work. She rides the

215
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: Metro daily from downtown Los Angeles to USC where she's

216
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 5: a scientist.

217
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 9: What station are we at?

218
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 10: We are at Pershing Square?

219
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: What are you saying?

220
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: Every day?

221
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: A lot of time.

222
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 10: People weeping like they have nowhere else to go. They

223
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 10: see a lot of people using all sorts of different drugs.

224
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: A lot of weed.

225
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 10: Someone happened to have a lighter on them for other purposes.

226
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 10: But he took that lighter and just lit the guy's

227
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 10: backpack strap on fire while the other guy was asleep.

228
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 5: And you were on the same tree. Yeah, we ride

229
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 5: along with her on her morning commute. Part of it

230
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 5: is on the Red Line.

231
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 7: But I've seen some seen some stuff.

232
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 5: What have you seen on the chairs?

233
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 6: I mean liquid.

234
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: And good.

235
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 11: Look Over at MacArthur Park station, music is being played

236
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 11: on the platforms part of a Metro pilot program to

237
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 11: reduce crime and drive away the unhoused.

238
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: We have it one night course.

239
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: Inside the station, we meet Reyna Jimenez, who tells us

240
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 5: about witnessing a violin attack involving a knife on a

241
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: recent train ride. Do you feel safe?

242
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 10: I keep my eye out wide the other women on

243
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 10: the train because it's really not a safe place for

244
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 10: women to be.

245
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 5: A recent survey pulling over twelve thousand riders showed a

246
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: drop in female ridership on both buses and trains. Metro

247
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 5: found safety was a top concern among those polled, followed

248
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 5: closely by cleanliness and homelessness. In March, the La Metro

249
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 5: launched an Ambassador program with nearly three hundred massas whose

250
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: job is to provide safety and support to riders.

251
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 10: Are like waived you and say like I'm a safe trip.

252
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 10: But that's kind of all that I've really seen them do.

253
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 5: February, Metro says there were three people raped on their

254
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 5: transit system and there were thirty nine instances of aggravated assault,

255
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 5: both significant increases from the year before.

256
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: He hit me right here.

257
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 5: In December, Carol Bobman was attacked near Compton at the

258
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 5: Dilamo State all waiting for the train and the man

259
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 5: who came right to me was this close to my face,

260
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 5: streaming at me, call himself God. So then I came

261
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: and sat here.

262
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: Like this.

263
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 5: So I was sitting here, I could hear it rippy.

264
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 8: He bit me so hard.

265
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: I can hear where every single tooth hit was on

266
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: my head.

267
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 5: Ever since, Carol says she's filled with anxiety on the

268
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: train and would rather avoid them the organ. She says

269
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 5: she'll keep riding the Metro and I hope it gets better.

270
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 10: It's venient and if I did not have to carry

271
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 10: pepper spray with me on my morning cameo and.

272
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 5: The La Metro tells KTLA. They are aware of these

273
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 5: safety issues and pro actively working on a plan to

274
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 5: address them. Using a combination of resources including those safety ambassadors,

275
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 5: law enforcement, and homeless outreach. They proved the conditions for

276
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 5: their customers.

277
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: Thank you.

278
00:13:53,480 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: That was great blood and death the bodily fluids.

279
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: When she gets on the trains we had, let's see,

280
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: let's review. It's a train with rapes and and all

281
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: kinds of assaults, aggravated assaults and bodily fluid and homeless

282
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: people and crazy people running up to you and biting

283
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: you on the head.

284
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: I well, do you have an update? And it's very

285
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: exciting news. Particularly the Yelsgondo Times made it a big

286
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: story today, John Day. They're going to open up the

287
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: Regional connector. What is the Regional Connector. It's a two

288
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: mile line which will eliminate your need to actually transfer

289
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: to a bunch of trains. So I'm going to call

290
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: this the Homeless Connector. The Gold, the Blue, and the

291
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: Expo lines now known as the L, the A, and

292
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: the E. You can transfer easily between all those lines,

293
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: so for instance, you could ride from Azusa to Long

294
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: Beach in two hours.

295
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: Now it's a long time.

296
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: Or East La and Santa Monica in one hour and

297
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: nine minutes. The rides will be free for the opening.

298
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: Wait a second, that's really slow, Well, because they stop.

299
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stops on these lines. Why would

300
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: you write the whole line.

301
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's just an example of East Light to Santa

302
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: Monica in an hour and nine minutes. Yeah, you'll have

303
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: to change trains, then take the connector and probably wait

304
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: through all the stops.

305
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I guess it takes that long. You can fly to

306
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco more quickly.

307
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: You can drive from downtown to late to Santa Monica

308
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: in like twenty minutes, can't you. Yes, if there's not

309
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: crazy traffic on the ten, nobody's gonna take that. Two

310
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: years behind schedule, three hundred and thirty five million dollars

311
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: over budget.

312
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a four stop light rail. Which connection.

313
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 5: That is?

314
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: That's just down that corruption right East Lay to Santa

315
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: Monica an hour nine minutes. WHOA, that's practically the concord,

316
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: isn't it.

317
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: So?

318
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: I guess rather than taking a bus to get to

319
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: another train line, that's what this little regional connector is

320
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: supposed to do. Give you a little light rail system

321
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: to normal takes takes this stuff. It's well, that's why

322
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: I said. Now the homeless can get on any train.

323
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: They'll just get on the connector and head for another city.

324
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: It's freaks and criminals, vagrants, mental patients. Oh it says here.

325
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: It's critical for the Olympics in twenty twenty eight. That's

326
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: why they're spending all this money. They want the city

327
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: to have this state of the art rail system and

328
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: mass transit system for the Olympics. What are they gonna

329
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: do Eric Garcetti's Olympics.

330
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do with all the psychotics for

331
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: the Olympics.

332
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: Well, well, you're safe. Is clearing that up right? Be

333
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: SETI has got that under control. Taking the homeless of

334
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: the hotels everywhere.

335
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: It's actually there. It's a real thing. Regardless of what

336
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: she says, because she just uses a lot of bull crap,

337
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: most people would tell you it's not much different. No,

338
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: it's the same. I mean she's talking about a thousand people,

339
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: maybe at over forty thousand, So it's not noticeable unless

340
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: there was an encampment removed from your specific neighborhood. So

341
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: that's that's a load of crap. And I do I

342
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: mean That is the most unintentionally hysterical report I've heard

343
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: in a long time.

344
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: Though.

345
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: The ambassadors, Yeah, that's Metro's response. And by the way

346
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: they did this, they want to rely more on ambassadors

347
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: than actually armed police officers. They want to cut back,

348
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: just like they want to close all the jails. It's

349
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: working so well. What a raging success. All right, we

363
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 2: John coblt a game changer. His name is Austin van

364
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: der Hayden. He is the Municipal Affairs liaison at the

365
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 2: Goldwater Institute. Are you impressed anyway? What he's going to

366
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: come on and talk about is what happened in Phoenix, Arizona,

367
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: when a judge gave them permission to clean up what

368
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: was one stinking, overwhelming, ridiculous homeless encampment. Do you remember,

369
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 2: if you're a really big listener to the show, missus

370
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: weeks or maybe a couple of months ago, the New

371
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: York Times the destroyer this encampment. Remember that couple that

372
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: ran the sandwich shop and what they had to put

373
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: up with, like the homeless woman that comes in and

374
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: sits down and says, hey, give me this and give

375
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: me that.

376
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: They called story. Yeah, they called the zone the zone.

377
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: So he was he filed a friend of the Court

378
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 2: brief and support of the business and property owners.

379
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: He's coming on the show.

380
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 2: He did an opinion column that was printed in the

381
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 2: Orange County Register about a path forward.

382
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: For cleaning up California cities.

383
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: And he does talk about that ruling about boise the

384
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: Ninth Circuit US Court of Martin vsus the City of boising.

385
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: Well, because local officials have always lied about that court

386
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: decision they claimed forced them to allow homeless vagrants to

387
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: live twenty four hours a day on the streets. They

388
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: I had a public fight with Mike Bonnen about it

389
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: because he was lying to people in his district at

390
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: this at this meeting, and I told him that's that

391
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: he was lying, because it doesn't say what they say.

392
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: It says you can follow that night says, yes, the

393
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: Ninth Circuit does not ban towns from cleaning up homeless encampments.

394
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: It's very specific. And finally a judge in Arizona agreed

395
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: and said that's not what the Ninth Circuit decision says,

396
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: and the city of Phoenix is abandoning its responsibility to

397
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: its citizens.

398
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: All right, So we'll talk about this just after the

399
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: news at three o'clock with Austar vaner Aid and Austin

400
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: who knows a lot about this and can really help out.

401
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: Maybe something like this can happen in California following the

402
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 2: Phoenix model. Now we turn to the world to politics,

403
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: and the answer may come in this Associated Press story

404
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: about Dianne Feinstein.

405
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: He's brilliant.

406
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, did I say that? All right,

407
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: We'll try again, Eric, Okay, wait for the actual queue

408
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: when I say the solution. Okay, Okay, so here's the

409
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 2: deal here, let's set up the pickle. I guess that

410
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: Newsom's in. If Diane Feinstein resigns from the Senate, Newsom

411
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: gets to announce a replacement. If it happens this year,

412
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: that person would serve until January of twenty twenty five,

413
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: be quite a long tenure. The problem is he has

414
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: announced already he is going to appoint a black woman

415
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 2: to that seat. That was Kamala Harris's seat, well not

416
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: her seat, but the other seat.

417
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: In the Senate was.

418
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: So the response is, well, what about the three people

419
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: running to replace Finstein already? John's friend, of course, Adam Schiff.

420
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: We have a congressman from the Bay Area, barb bar Lee,

421
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: and we have that idiot congresswoman from Orange County.

422
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: What's her name again, Katie Poor? Is this potato? So

423
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: Pelosi supports Schiff. She's concerned that if Newsom appoints.

424
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: Barbra Lee, you see, a black woman, Well, she'll have

425
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: the inside track because that's how people vote in the

426
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 2: primary next year.

427
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: She'll see she's already in the Senate. They'll just say, oh, yeah,

428
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: I vote for incumbents. That's what I'll do.

429
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: So that's the The story was why Pelosi's daughter is

430
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 2: trying to keep Feinstein up and finish her term, or

431
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: at least until we get to a primary vote next year. Well,

432
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: the Associated Press has floated a possible solution to all this.

433
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: Now you can play it. He's brilliant. He's brilliant. Barack Obama.

434
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: He is brilliant.

435
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: Not Barack Obama. But that's who Oprah Winfrey's talking about.

436
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: But it is Oprah Winfrey.

437
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: Oprah Winfrey is the senator. Correct, she could be the

438
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: interim replacement.

439
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: Maybe she doesn't want to run, but if she gets

440
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 2: the spot until there's an election next year, she would

441
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: be a black woman satisfying newsome huh and right, she

442
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't mess up with the three candidates are already announced to

443
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: run and giving Barbara Lee the inside advantage.

444
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: You get all that, I see? So who thought this up?

445
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: It's being floated in democratic circles. But they bring up

446
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: Oprah's name all the time that she should run for this,

447
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: that and the other thing. It doesn't occur to these

448
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: bozos that most normal people don't want to become a politician.

449
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 2: She did talk, I think years ago about possibly running

450
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: for something. Yeah, so I think she didn't help the

451
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: story by putting out the possibility.

452
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: That she might want to get involved, but she did it.

453
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: Oh no, And I think since she said that politicans

454
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: has gotten so ugly, I don't think she has any

455
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: interest in doing polytics.

456
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Is every is the opposite of everything that she tried

457
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: to preach about on her show. It's the it's evil

458
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: and gross and dirty, and these people are are are

459
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: are stupid and foul mannered.

460
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: In Yeah, she was, as you could see, she was

461
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 2: inspired by Obama. There was supposedly by the end of

462
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: his terms, the relationship cool, did it not? I think

463
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: it did right between Oprah and Yeah, Obama's there.

464
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michelle was jealous. What I read, Oh really, because

465
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: Barack and Oprah were talking a lot on the phone

466
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: together and giggling and they were becoming kind of close,

467
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: and Michelle really got agitated. I'm serious. That's the story

468
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: I read a couple of times. Oh the other thing,

469
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama would be a good choice. But then in

470
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: California she's, yeah, but you just have to move here

471
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: for five minutes. Except but she hated being in the

472
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,479
Speaker 1: White House. Oh, I know, I know.

473
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: I heard she softened on that, but she hated it.

474
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 2: She didn't want Obama to run for present.

475
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said, good choice. It's it's it's like

476
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: one of those choices like Oprah. It's a celebrity. Everybody

477
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: would get excited for a little while. But she, like Oprah,

478
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: has no interest in politics because it's gross and disgusting.

479
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, so, but but but we go low,

480
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: we go high. That she was trying to with the Trumps.

481
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: But the only initiative I remember her being attached to

482
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: was forcing vegetables on school kids. And she had the

483
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: White House garden. Yeah, but but but she she was

484
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: like mandating through the federal government that everybody deserved a

485
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: certain amount of vegetables for their lunch meals, and kids

486
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: were dumping out the vegetables, like millions of pounds of

487
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: vegetables running up in the landfill.

488
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: All right, now, we moved to the big reparations debate

489
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: in California, another authority issue for Governor Dippity Do, although,

490
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 2: as we learned last hour, he's not around. He's been

491
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: replaced by a guy in a mask. You want to

492
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: know what that's about, Listen to the podcast one hour ago.

493
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: Okay, that is thank you the online claim. There you go.

494
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: This is doctor Amos Brown, a civil rights activist, a

495
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: reverend of the Third Baptist Church, and he is also

496
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 2: a senior member of not only the State California's Reparations

497
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: Task Force, but the San Francisco Task Force.

498
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

499
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 12: Unfortunately, that evil group called the Kukus Klan in California

500
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 12: was founded here in San Francisco.

501
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: So San Francisco's hands are not clean. They have been.

502
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 12: Completed in this evil system. And all we are saying,

503
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 12: let's just chill and pay your debt, your sand bill

504
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 12: of enslavement, of discrimination, of intimidation, of terrorizing black people.

505
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 12: This is not opinionated, this document that came from the

506
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 12: labors of scholars a social analysts.

507
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: So we should just.

508
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 13: Cheer and the reason come together, think and refrain from

509
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 13: just emoting. The crime bill is so high, so astronomical,

510
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 13: and all we did was to evaluate the harm and

511
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 13: to state the case of what it might mean in

512
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 13: terms of dollars and cents when you look at it deeply,

513
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 13: the horrors, the hellishness, and the harm that was done

514
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 13: to African Americans and their descendants.

515
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: But if you can't pay all of that. Say what

516
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: you can't be that's the point.

517
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 12: But you cannot put a dollar sign on what has

518
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 12: been done to black people. I repeat again, Our SIND

519
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 12: bill in this nation has been so high because of

520
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 12: the long years I'm doing nothing.

521
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: The interest has grown, the SIN bill, the SI bill.

522
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: This guy was only risted go ahead. This guy was

523
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: on the Reparations committee.

524
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: Boh, he's a senior member both California and San Francisco,

525
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: both reparations committees.

526
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: Where do these people come from? These are cartoon characters

527
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: we're playing all afternoon.

528
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: What I was reminded of was Jesse Jackson and now

529
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: Sharpton used to always talk about, you know, paying up.

530
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 2: That used to be kind of what they did sometimes

531
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: trying to collect money. And I saw an editorial the

532
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: other day which made a good point back slavery. Even

533
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 2: through the horrible times of the Civil rights we moved

534
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: into the sixties where we came up with all these

535
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: social programs. We spent trillions of dollars to help people

536
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 2: who have been affected by poverty, and many of them

537
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: have been black people.

538
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: We spent trillions in social services.

539
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, I don't know why we

540
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: have to start making new payments on top of all, Well,

541
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: we don't, we don't. That's since nineteen sixty five, the

542
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: modern era of welfare spending. Yeah, I mean, I mean

543
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 2: cash welfare payments and scholarships, food stamps. I mean, the

544
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: list goes on endlessly.

545
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: All the subsidies that have passed, where is everybody coming

546
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: from have been paid. I think you're right.

547
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 2: This will probably die a quiet death, particular with this

548
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: year's budget, and they'll be pushed.

549
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: The people in San Francisco aren't woke enough. They have

550
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: to pay because the Klan started in San Francisco. I'd

551
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: never heard of that, but let's assume it's true. They

552
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: don't even have.

553
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: A tax base left. So many people have left San Francisco.

554
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: They're already in budgetary problem.

555
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: People in San Francisco have to be punished for racism too. Well.

556
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: He said that the KKK in California was founded in

557
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: San Francisco.

558
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: That's what he claimed in there. Wait, Slavery was abolished

559
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: in the original California constitution, but apparently wasn't enough for well, okay,

560
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: but that's local sheriffs making bad decisions. One hundred and

561
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: seventy years ago. I moved to California, you know, one

562
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years later, and I'm supposed to pay

563
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: money for what a local sheriff allowed in eighteen fifty two.

564
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: Some tech guy moves in, you know, in the early

565
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: two thousands. He makes a fortune, and now he's being billed.

566
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: He just he just got here. What nobody living in

567
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: current California had anything to do with this? Why don't

568
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: you Why don't you just, I don't know, pick pick

569
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: a few million people from a foreign country and tell

570
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: them that that they're liable for all the sins. They're

571
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: just people living right now in Europe or in Asia

572
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: are just as guilty as we are. They didn't do anything.

573
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: We didn't do anything. We weren't here. They weren't here.

574
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: He just randomly picking us because we're here.

575
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: Now, we got more coming up Towny Ken KFI AM

Speaker 2: Be the way out in California to clean up the

582
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: homeless encampments. It's based on what happened in Phoenix. We'll

583
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: talk about it with someone who knows all about that

584
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: story and how it could apply here in the state

585
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: of California to the homeless encampment problem.

586
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: Well, maybe is Debra Mark there?

587
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 9: I'm here?

588
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: Is it time to ban baseball? To end the game

589
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: of baseball, because for the second time in a week,

590
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: a bird has bit the dust?

591
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: Did you see this video?

592
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: No the second inning Cleveland Guardians against the Chicago White

593
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: Sox in Cleveland on Monday night, a guy by the

594
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: name of Will Brennan was up at the plate. He

595
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 2: hits a little chopper to the left side of the infield.

596
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: Apparently a bird was parked there.

597
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: Wack bird. Didn't go well for the bird.

598
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: Let's listen to a compilation of the White Sox and

599
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: Guardian broadcast teams.

600
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: Went by what looked like some sort of deceased animal.

601
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 8: My short's stuff.

602
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: Maybe not an animal that would be stretching base hit

603
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: left field. Nice piece of hitting by Will Brennan. Didn't

604
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: try to do too much, he took he slapped it

605
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: the other way. Get it, get a shot right a shortstop. Guys,

606
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: we got a bird that may have been hit by

607
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: that possibly because a bird does not move it. Well,

608
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: there cuts a shovel.

609
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, oh, dust terrible.

610
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: Do you want to ban baseball because we're killing birds?

611
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 9: No, I don't want to ban baseball. But that's I mean,

612
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 9: come on, here comes.

613
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: To the shovel. There the ground's crew right out there

614
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: with the shovel to take the bird away. Well, there

615
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: comes a shovel.

616
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of well he has to describe what's

617
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: going on, Denver, what's wrong?

618
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 1: Saying I know, but there's too matter of fact. Well here,

619
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: it's just it just moved the carcass and let's get

620
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: the game beasts.

621
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 9: The visual that that gave me I didn't like.

622
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: Did you hear the White Sox announcer though, first the

623
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: first cut, he's like, if you can even call it

624
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: an animal? Animal? Right?

625
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 2: Well, the difference is a lot of these happen when

626
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: the bird's flying in the air and there's a pop

627
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: fly or somebody throws the ball in the air. This

628
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 2: bird was just lying there in the infield, kind of

629
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: hanging out in the grass by the rolling grounder, and

630
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: a chop hit to the left.

631
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: Side and it went flying. Did you see I flew

632
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: off to the well not. I don't know if I

633
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: want to rub.

634
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 9: This in, but yeah, who wants to see that play the.

635
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: Shovel line again? Yeah? Yeah, that's like a twelve time

636
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: announcers stretched, here comes to shovel. It's very matter of fact,

637
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: the shovel's going to come for all of us.

638
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we told you that the Arizona Diamondbacks player

639
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: Zach Gillen killed the bird with a warm up pitch. Yeah,

640
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: in Oakland on May seventeenth, so it's only six days ago.

641
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: I went to a Giants game a few weeks ago.

642
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: They were playing the match, yeah, and I went and

643
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: and those seagulls come swarming around about the seventh inning.

644
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: Oh, because they know there's food. Yeah, and they're waiting

645
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: for the crowd to Oh. They do this at football

646
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: games too that I go to. Yeah, they have they

647
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: know that the crowd's going to start to leave and

648
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: they'll be debray to eat. But they have a timing

649
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: mechanism in them because they do. I heard they show

650
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 2: up at the seventh and wouldn't you know, right at

651
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: the top of the seventh Animals when it comes to

652
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: food are programmed to respond. They have like a time

653
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: clock right, funny. I just found this out yesterday. There's

654
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: a couple of cats that hang out in the street

655
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: near me, but I don't see them very often, but

656
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: a couple of days in a row, I happen.

657
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: To walk by right after the show, like four point thirty,

658
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: and they came running towards me. And they never do that.

659
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 9: Oh, they're hungry.

660
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: Exactly yesterday I got the answer. Some old woman crossed

661
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: in front of my house, went down the corner with

662
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: a bag full of food, and they came running to her.

663
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 2: Apparently she feeds them, so that's what they were looking for.

664
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: And they're showing up around the same time every day

665
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: because they know that she's going to show.

666
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: Up with treats, right future. I mean, hunger is a

667
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: prime driving force.

668
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 9: Yes, people, I'm so glad that lady does that.

669
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: I mean that bird could have been looking for like

670
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: a piece of popcorn on the field or something.

671
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Wow, she's just hanging out there in the grass.

672
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 12: All right.

673
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: When we come back, our guess is a man by

674
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: the name of the Austin van der Hayden, and he's

675
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: gonna tell us about Phoenix, Arizona and how they got

676
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 2: a huge, huge, almost encampment finally to be cleaned up.

677
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: It's actually had a name called the Zone. His organization

678
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 2: filed in front of the court brief and support of

679
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 2: business and property owners Aaron. He says, you could apply

680
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: the same type of legal logic to what's going on

681
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,520
