1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Ken is out for now. Debra's here and we have

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Blake trolley connected, okay, because we're gonna talk to Blake

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: about the shocking shooting and the Benedict Canyon area just

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: a block from where I used to live for fourteen years,

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: very secluded, peaceful, nice neighborhood infiltrated. But I don't know what,

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: but you ended up with three women shot to death

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: at a car, four wounded, two of them ended up

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: in the hospital, very seriously hurt, and the police not

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: giving out much detail in the media not covering it

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: all that much. And that's why Blake is here. Yeah,

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: go ahead. Well, first of all, I was just gonna say,

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm very jealous you live there. You know, when I

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: was there on Saturday, it looks like you're in central

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: California in there, especially up in those roads. It's a

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: very secluded, very beautiful neighborhood where you you really have

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,319
Speaker 1: no idea that you're anywhere near LA And I think

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: the where this happened is so important, So I do

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: want to just reiterate how nice it. Yea. It was

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: my favorite place I ever lived in my life. And

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: we only moved here because the kids were going to

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: a school that was a little too far away. But

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: I love that area and it was as peaceful and

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: beautiful as you can get. And at the time we

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: bought the house, it was the prices weren't that high.

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: Now they've exploded. I wish we had held onto the house.

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: We would have made a lot of money. But yeah,

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: that's important to note the setting here that this was

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: a highly unusual murder shootout. Yeah, John, you know, at

29
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: this point police are still trying to piece together what

30
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: exactly happened at this gathering, at this short term rental.

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: In fact, Lapd told me today detectives are still canvassing

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: the area for surveillance footage. A homeowners group says police

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: have actually reached out to them for footage. No arrests

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: have been made. But here's what we know. Saturday morning,

35
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: around two thirty am, multiple nine one one calls start

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: pouring in. His neighbors heard gunshots. More than thirty shots

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: were fired in this shooting, which is more than thirty Yeah,

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: and different shellcases. So you know, police say this was

39
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: some sort of shootout. So police showed up. They found

40
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: three women dead inside a park car. Two of those

41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: women are from Illinois, one is from Arizona, and we're

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: being told that two of those women are mothers. Police

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: found two people outside the car wounded from the shooting,

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: which at this point it's again being described as a

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: targeted gun battle, not in or just yeah, as a

46
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: targeted gun battle, not a rant out attack exactly, not

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: a random attack. Now, two other people were wounded, but

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: they actually went to the hospital and private cars before

49
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: police made it to the scene. Otherwise, yeah, details pretty tight.

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Investigators say witnesses to the shooting left before police arrived, which,

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: of course that's going to cause challenges police at this point,

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: they're not even confirming whether or not everybody at this

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: house was at a party or what type of gathering

54
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: was even going down. Neighbors say they saw cars taking

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: off after shots were fired. Here's a woman who lives

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: down the street. She says she's shocked by this shooting.

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: And they I was like, what happened? I live right here.

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: They're like, well why do you live? I was like

59
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: just down right there. They're like, go home, and I

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: was like, okay. It was a pretty scary. When cops

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: told you to go home, I was like, okay, okay,

62
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: I'll go. It was. Yeah, it just was very tense. Gotcha.

63
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: You say there are more rentals in the area than

64
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: there have been, Yeah, definitely. I mean, as the sixties

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: generation died out, they you know, level the houses, remodel them,

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: flip them, a lot of most of them rentals. And

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: I don't really know anyone on the streets anymore. And

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, John, I looked online. I found four rentals

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: in the area and they're each going for I mean,

70
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: besides one of them, they're all going for more than

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars a night and mackerel and night more

72
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: than two thousand dollars a night, and I and now

73
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: it's sixty thousand a month. Yeah, the money that's being

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: made off this is insane. And I think as we

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: see more of this happening, we're gonna be seeing more pushback.

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: As you remember, wasn't that long ago. It's just in

77
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: November in the Hollywood Hills there was one of these

78
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: short term airbnbs that an Instagram influencer was staying at,

79
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: and armed robbers showed up, put guns in two people's faces,

80
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: took off with more than a million dollars worth of property.

81
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: And again just from this shooting alone. We're already seeing

82
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: some pushback the Benedict Canyon Association, you know, it's renewing

83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: its calls to have these short term rentals banned from

84
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: the Santa Monica Mountains. President David Caden sent me an

85
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: email he says he wants legislation banning rentals again in

86
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: these mountains. And I had a chance to catch up

87
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: with him, and I from the email that you sent me,

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: you said, a lot of these houses are being rented

89
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: and then they're basically being used from there as a

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: venue to sell admission. Correct, that's correct. They're acting as

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: a commercial enterprise, and there's no commercial enterprises allowed in

92
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: the canyons. And we see what could be a problem

93
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: with those. This was the third, the third homicide in

94
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: two and a half years in the Benedict Canyon area,

95
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: or two in August twenty twenty and this last tragic one.

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: So what is this like for you guys, Because obviously

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: these don't always rise to the point of taking on

98
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: any sort of news attention, but you're dealing with these

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot. It sounds like it's a nightmare for the

100
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 1: people who live near where there is a party house.

101
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: The parties go on until the middle of the night, Noise,

102
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: trash tossed around. Parking is very is taken up, and

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: that's just really really bad for the neighbors who do

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: live around them. Can you share with us some stories,

105
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: some anecdotes you've heard about parties in the area up.

106
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: Some parties last until in the middle of the night

107
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: with music blasting like it's at a regular concert of

108
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: like the Hollywood Bowl. They have huge speakers they rent out.

109
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: There's hundreds of people milling around, walking around, going in

110
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: and out, and they can go till two three in

111
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: the morning, and it's it's just a nightmare. The next

112
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: morning trash when the residents come out, they see trash

113
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: sturn about all over the place. So it's it's no good.

114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: And that's aside from the safety issues, of course. And

115
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: he says, you know, one reason he thinks the city

116
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: has not taken any action on this, John is that

117
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: the city's making too much money on permitting these and

118
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: nobody wants to switch off that money valve. He says,

119
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: homes can be fine for this, this system of charging

120
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: admission for parties, but they're making so much money those

121
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: fines are just a cost of doing business. So if

122
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: you want to have a party, you get a permit

123
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: from the city and you pay the city. I don't

124
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: believe that's what he's saying. He's just talking about the

125
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: short term rental permits in general, just having you if

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: you want to if you want to have a short

127
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: term rental, you pay a permit fee to the city,

128
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: as his understanding of this. And I'm still looking into this. Yeah, yeah,

129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard that before. This is this is just

130
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: terrible because when we moved there, it was in the nineties,

131
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: and what that woman said about the generation from the sixties,

132
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: that's what it was, because you could get a house

133
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: up there for sixty thousand dollars. So these people, and

134
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot of them people worked in the entertainment industry.

135
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: They bought the house, you know, nineteen seventy for sixty

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and they just stayed there. And that generation

137
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: is dying out. When we showed up, we were with

138
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: many other families were just moving in who had young kids. Right,

139
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: it was the change over the generation. And we moved

140
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: out of there fourteen years ago, and I guess the

141
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: old generation died off the kids like in our case,

142
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: have grown up, and now what's moved in our investors

143
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: who bought the homes from the old generation, and it

144
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: has now flipped them into Airbnb's basically setting up miniature hotels.

145
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can make sixty grand a month. Yeah,

146
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: And you know it's funny because you're talking about buying

147
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: these homes when they were cheaper. Now you know, people

148
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: are able to sell them for millions and millions of

149
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: dollars the beautiful area. But you know, one concern that

150
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: he had, and it sounds like some other homeowners have,

151
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: is that this is actually going to drive house prices

152
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: back down. So some people are buying these really expensive

153
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: but as this becomes more and more of a thing,

154
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: these short term rentals, people having these massive parties up there,

155
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: there are some concerns that this could actually drive property

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: values the opposite direction of where they've had it. Now.

157
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: A friend of mine who lives up there told me

158
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: that yesterday police helicopters came back and the police came back,

159
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: and the story was is that somebody was breaking into

160
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: that house and the speculation that the bad guys went

161
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: back into the house to maybe to kind of take

162
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: some evidence away. Have you heard anything about that. No,

163
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: I have not. It's been really hard to get any

164
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: sort of updates, but I appreciate you sharing that way.

165
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: That something will definitely follow that tip, because the guy

166
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: who told me is usually right on. He's very involved

167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood, and he's been talking to the police

168
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and and something went on yesterday as a follow up,

169
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: and the neighbors are organizing to try to get this

170
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: sort of thing banned because it's intolerable. Yeah, well, we

171
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: will definitely follow up on that, on that lead. And

172
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, they did say they were going to have

173
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: some they might have some sort of update today, So

174
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: I'll be sure to let you know John if I

175
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: find anything. All right, Blake, thanks very much. Yeah, you

176
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: got it, like trolley Calfie News. That's that's just it's

177
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: just terrible, this airbnb thing. I mean, some people are

178
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: really bastards. They know they're living in a peaceful neighborhood,

179
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: they know exactly who they're renting to. They know it's

180
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: going to cause a huge disruption. At least it's going

181
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: to be allowed party that's going to keep everybody up

182
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: all night to three in the morning. And then there

183
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: are certain elements that have the money for this party,

184
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: and look what you got. You got to shoot out.

185
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: You got three women getting killed, you got four other

186
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: people getting shot. Well, why would you bring that into

187
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: a nice neighborhood? Why buy into a nice neighborhood and

188
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: then scare the hell out of people and destroy it.

189
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean there's still a lot of families there with kids.

190
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: You know, you want to just don't understand. I guess

191
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: greed completely warps and blinds people. They just they just

192
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: can't resist the deal. At least pay attention to who

193
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: you're renting to. No. So the same thing is going

194
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: on in my neighborhood. And it amazes me when I

195
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: when I see a house for rent in my neighborhood,

196
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm always still worried about who's going to end up there.

197
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: First of all, people are not taking care of the houses.

198
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: They have these very scary dogs that are out there

199
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: to to protect them. And a police officer actually did

200
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: tell me that the reason that a lot of these

201
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: people have the pitbulls just sitting in the yards is

202
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: because they want to be alerted when the police are

203
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: coming in case, you know, they don't know if it's

204
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: just it's it's it's a whole different element. It's it's

205
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: so crazy. No, it's it's it's like a gang element.

206
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of drugs going on and other

207
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: illegal activities. So yeah, they need a warning from the

208
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: dogs to keep the and you know, to run interference

209
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: at least for thirty seconds. And these houses are expensive.

210
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean, as you heard Blake, I mean two thousand

211
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: dollars a night. I don't even know where these people

212
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: get the money. I guess if you're well, that's what

213
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: makes me suspicious who gets that money? Right, because people

214
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: who make that money legitimately would not have parties like that,

215
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: would not have pitbulls on the front lawn. Right. This

216
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: this sounds like drug money or some other organized crime

217
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of type of money. Yeah, of course the city

218
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: gets a cut, so they don't care. All right, good

219
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: work for Blake. We'll have more coming up John and

220
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: Ken show. Oh we got a thousand dollars to give

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: away in just minutes, thousand bucks. Ken is out right now.

222
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: I just want to follow up on this on the

223
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: shooting in my old neighborhood up in the betting the

224
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Canyon region. This is, by the way, the news media

225
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: reported this so badly over the weekend. It is funny.

226
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen this before occasionally when we've had

227
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: new stories on us and how much they get wrong,

228
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: and you realize, off they're getting it wrong on me,

229
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: they're getting stuff wrong all day on everybody else too well.

230
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Same thing with the neighborhood that we used to live in.

231
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: First of all, they identified it as Beverly Crest. Never

232
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: once in fourteen years did I hear anyone describe it

233
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: as Beverly Crest. I never heard that term ever, not once,

234
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: And I'm looking on TV and I'm yelling at the TV.

235
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: It's like, no, it's not known as that. It's actually

236
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: part of Los Angeles. First of all, it's north of

237
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. It's in the Beverly Hills zip code, so

238
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: they call it Beverly Hills post Office, which I realized

239
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: it's not a sexy name, but it's it's not Beverly Crest.

240
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: And then the idea in a neighborhood like that, you'd

241
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: have like seven people shot at three o'clock in the

242
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: morning during an alleged party outdoors. I mean, that's just outrageous.

243
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: So they also odd is that three women were killed.

244
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: They were all sitting in a car from what we're

245
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: told now, At first it was supposed to be two

246
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: guys and a woman who were killed, and they ran

247
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: with that all day and all night, and that turned

248
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: about turned out to be incorrect. Anyway, they identified these

249
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: these women who are not I mean, they're young, but

250
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: they're not that young. Ayanna Hutton, aged thirty three, of Chicago,

251
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: Nina Davis, twenty nine, of Bowlingbrook, Illinois, which is near Chicago,

252
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: and then Destiny Simms, aged twenty six from Buckeye, Arizona.

253
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: Now what are they doing because two of them had children.

254
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: Destiny Simms has three children, she's the one from Arizona.

255
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Nina Davis also has children, but not clear how many

256
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: she has. And then Nyana Hutton, who's the oldest, is

257
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: thirty three. So who are these women and what are

258
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: they doing at the party or in the car at

259
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: three in the morning, and why did they get shot?

260
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: And as Blake Trolley mentioned, the police aren't talking at all.

261
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: So when the police aren't talking, let's just go by

262
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: the Idaho case, right, they'd never talked much. They never

263
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: gave out many details because they knew who it was.

264
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: Early on, and they needed time to gather the evidence

265
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: and build a case before they finally arrested Brian Coberger,

266
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: because you don't want to arrest a guy and then

267
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: have to release him, because when you arrest them, you

268
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: have to charge him within forty eight hours, and then

269
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: you want the charges to stick beyond a reasonable doubt.

270
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: So I got to believe there were a lot of

271
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: guys hanging out in the sidewalk I saw in the video.

272
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: Somebody talked, somebody must have said who did the shooting.

273
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: Not only that, the cars were probably captured by a

274
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: lot of video security cameras in the neighborhood. What's really

275
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: freaky to me, at least, is all those cars had

276
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: to pass my old house because there was no other

277
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: way to get out of that. It's it's a series

278
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: of dead end roads called to sacks, and there's there's

279
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: no way to get out unless you come down to

280
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: exactly where my house is. Like, my house faced this

281
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: road straight on right. It was a t intersection, and

282
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: if you come out of my driveway and go straight

283
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: up the road quarterly on the right side, you'd come

284
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: to the shooting. The shooting site, um and and the

285
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: three women were sitting inside a parked car. The home

286
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: was worth at least three million dollars, and people who

287
00:14:53,880 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: knew them are writing, you know, memorials online. But there's

288
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: just there's just no known details, no coverage at all

289
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: comparatively to the Monterey Park or the or the mushroom

290
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: farm shooting up in Half Moon Bay. So I wonder

291
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: what's up. I mean, Lake Tcharlie mentioned two thousand dollars

292
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: a night for some of the homes on the short

293
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: term rental sites. I'm looking at an LA time story

294
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: that says some of the homes are renting out for

295
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred dollars a night. Now, who's got that

296
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: kind of money? What kind of guys who engage in

297
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: a shootout and kill three women? What do you think

298
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: they do for a living? And that's being brought into

299
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: these quiet neighborhoods, Guys who engage in shootouts and can

300
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: afford seventy five hundred dollars a night. And I realized

301
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: they be. And you know, if it's true that the

302
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,239
Speaker 1: city is getting a cut of these AIRB and B permits,

303
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: well that's a huge scandal and good luck taken on

304
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: what the LA city council. What kind of the council

305
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: people getting to allow this sort of thing. You know,

306
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: they wouldn't want this in their neighborhood, they said. One

307
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: of the one of the one of the neighbors says,

308
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: house parties at the rented homes were common during COVID,

309
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: during the COVID lockdown because they couldn't go to the clubs. Yeah. This, this,

310
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: this has got end because this can come to anybody's

311

Speaker 1: neighborhood right away. This is not just an LA thing

312
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: or a Benedict Canyon thing. If you have if you

313
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: have somebody in your neighborhood and they sell out. I

314
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: heard investors or scooping these up just because they can

315
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: get so many thousands a night. And I think that

316
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: can happen in any suburban setting. You've got to make

317
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: sure your town doesn't allow this. There are a number

318
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: of towns that have banned short term airbnb rentals in

319
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:08,280

Speaker 1: miles away, all right. A lot of your kids maybe

338
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: on Snapchat, so we're gonna engage in a period of

339
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: finger wagging. You got to pay attention to this. This

340
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: is real. The FBI and the Justice Department are investigating

341
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: Snapchat's role in poisoning your children with fentanyl. Yeah, it

342
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: turns out that if you're not familiar with Snapchat, all

343
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: the communications are encrypted and the messages disappear, they self destruct,

344
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: and that is perfect for drug dealers who try to

345
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: get young kids, teenagers to buy fentonel and die. They

346
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: have interviewed parents of children who have died from drug

347
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: overdoor and they're looking at the social media accounts Snapchat

348
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: in particular to trace the suppliers. So they subpoenaed records

349
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: from Snapchat and found that the teenagers thought they were

350
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: buying prescription painkillers, you know, to get the buzz from

351
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the opioids, but instead they swallowed pure FENTONYL. Well, this

352
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: is serious evil, these bastards that are selling pure FENTONYL

353
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: pills to teenage kids. Now, FENTONYL is a hundred times

354
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: more potent than morphine, which is why you end up dying.

355
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna have they're going to have a House committee

356
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: investigation as well. And she well, there's this woman who's

357
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: speaking at this House Energy and Emers Committee conference named

358
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: Laura Marquez Garrett. She's an attorney with the Social Media

359
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Victims Law Center, and it's all about Snapchat and fentanyl.

360
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: She says the death of American children by fentinyl poisoning

361
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,239
Speaker 1: is not a social media issue. It's a Snapchat issue.

362
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: And Snap is the parent company of Snapchat. They're based

363
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: here in Santa Monica. There's so much illegal drug use

364
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: that Snap claims it removed more than four hundred thousand

365
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: accounts that was posting drug content and that you know

366
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: the issue. The spokeshole issued the blob blob, We're doing

367
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: our part to fight the national fentinyl poisoning crisis. Yeah,

368
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: and a lot of it's being funneled through your particular

369
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: social media channel. Listen to this. The number the media

370
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: number of fentinyl overdoses among teenage went up over one

371
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent in two years. Fentonel deaths went up one

372
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two percent between twenty nineteen and twenty

373
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: twenty one. Like during the lockdown, I don't think that

374
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: was a coincidence. Kids were bored with nothing to do,

375
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: and they were getting the algorithm was feeding them Snapchat

376
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: messages to buy what they thought were painkillers and it

377
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: turned out, I mean, was this stuff being delivered like

378
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Amazon packages to the front door. Doorbell would ring and

379
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: kid would go out of the packages for me, Mom,

380
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me? And it's are you on Snapchat? I

381
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: have a Snapchat? Yeah, I don't really use it anymore.

382
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: Do they have an algorithm feeding you? Not like an

383
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: algorithm like an Instagram or a Facebook. It's more sending

384
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: messages to people and then the messages and it's sending

385
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: messages or pictures or videos and that's what disappears. Right.

386
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: It's a one to one yes, or you can post

387
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: post a story that anybody you're friends with can view.

388
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: Because I'm trying to figure out how how the drug

389
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: pushers are identifying the individual kids and coaxing them to

390
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: buy the opioids. Oh, they they're probably posting on their

391
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: story pictures of the product and saying for sale or

392
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: hit me up, I have what you need, trying to think,

393
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: and kids can see those stories they could access, so

394
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: that part's public. Yes, I see um. Because California has

395
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: got one of the sky they have skyrocketing rates of

396
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: of of opioid poisoning. Uh. And the there's a woman here,

397
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: let me find her name because she is on Snapchats.

398
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: Safety Advisory Council's Oh it's a man. Jim Carroll used

399
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: to be the drugs are for the White House, and

400
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: he says the drug traffickers are always going to go

401
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: where the young people are. And what Carroll says, I

402
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: do believe that Snapchat has been more widely used for

403
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: facilitating drug sales than the other platforms because it's so

404
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: popular among the young. Snap has three hundred sixty three

405
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: million daily active users according to its quarterly earnings report,

406
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: and the National Crime Prevention Council says Snapchat has become

407
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: a digital, open air drug market, allowing drug dealers to

408
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: market and to sell fake pills to unsuspecting teens and tweens.

409
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: And they want the Attorney General and the Justice Department

410
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: to take on the case. Here, holy mackerel, why this

411
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: is good progress, say, isn't it? I wonder how many

412
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: kids have died buying fentonel through Snapchat and their parents

413
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: never do your kids sitting in the room scrolling, scrolling, scrolling,

414
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: and you got to keep track of the packages coming.

415
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: Before Snapchat existed. According to one of these researchers, there

416
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: was no way for these dealers to find these kids.

417
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: There was no way to get the drugs to them.

418
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: That's why I was wondering how it worked. I've never

419
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: been on Snapchat. Now they can have it delivered like

420
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: a freaking pizza. One drug dealer who you snapchat is

421
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 1: connected to the death of two young adults in Orange County.

422
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: Alexander Neville was fourteen, Daniel Elijah figaroa twenty. They thought

423
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: they were buying prescription painkillers from deals arranged on Snapchat.

424
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: The pills they took were one hundred percent fentinel. Well,

425
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: that's going to kill you instantly. Neville, the fourteen year old,

426
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: I told his mother two days before he had purchased

427
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: oxycodone from somebody on Snapchat, and he told her he

428
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: was scared because he wanted more. His mother took him

429
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: to a treatment facility. Next morning, found him dead on

430
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: the bedroom floor. Fingers and lips were blue, and she said,

431
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: I didn't understand how he could have taken so much

432
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: oxy that he died. That was the day we learned

433
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: about fentanyl. Fourteen. Boy, if your kid tells you that

434
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: you bought some oxycodone and he already feel addicted, you

435
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: got you gotta lock him up immediately. You can't wait

436
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: a day because he went back on Snapchat, and how

437
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: the hell did they deliver this without the parents noticing.

438
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: Does anybody pay any attention? Or are the parents busy

439
00:25:53,640 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: scrolling too and are disconnected from what's going on? The

440
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: DA subpoena chats Snapchat to get her messages her son's messages.

441
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: It took nine months for Snapchat to respond, Oh, there

442
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: you go. You see Snapchat doesn't care care? Are they

443
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: just issued public relation messages about you know? I'm sure

444
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: the safety of our users are a powermount concern to us,

445
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: so Amy Neville. When they finally got her son's messages

446
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: took nine months, and it showed that her son Alexander,

447
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: had met with a dealer from Snapchat and his name

448
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: was AJ smokes smok x y. Then three months later,

449
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: the twenty year old I mentioned Figaro was found slumped

450
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: over a bed at his grandmother's house. Snapchat was subpoenaed

451
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: for his messages and he had arranged to purchase Percocet

452
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: from a dealer who used the Snapchat account ARNOLDO. Long

453
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: eighty two eighty six. It took Snapchat seven months to

454
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: remove that dealer from its platform, seven months, and the

455
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: dealer was supplied by a J. Smokesy. Snapchat will not

456
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: comment upending litigation. They're trying to dismiss the case. In fact,

457
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: they claim that federal laws shields them from being held

458
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: liable for the content posted on its site by third

459
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: party Hi about that they don't They don't police drug

460
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: dealers selling fentonilt kids over its snapchat. When they finally

461
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: get caught, they don't respond to a subpoena for nine months,

462
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: and then when the case goes to court, they say, well,

463
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: we have the laws says we're protected. In other words,

464
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: the lass says we can sell fentonil over Snapchat and

465
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: you can't do anything about it. Yes, Lord, coming up

466
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: on the John and Ken show, Kenner's away, we'll be

467
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: back together tomorrow and Conway's coming up in a matter

468
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: of minutes. Now, you know, I love the team winning

469
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: a championship as much as anybody. But Eric probably saw

470
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: this right. Yeah, now you know, Debora like laughs. We

471
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: went over these stories where animals turn on humans, and

472
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: there was a story about a dog pulling the trigger

473
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: on a hunter and killing him in their car. And

474
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: then there was a shark that bit the head off

475
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: a scuba diver who was collecting mollusks. Well, I laugh

476
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: when human beings do stupid stuff and end up getting hurt.

477
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: Eagles fans after the Eagles won the NFC Championship game,

478
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: they stood on top of a bus shelter. I was that.

479
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: You think about a dozen of them were up there

480
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: at least, yeah, and they were standing on it, and

481
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: somebody has video of this. It suddenly collapsed and they

482
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: all fell right through the glass roof of the bus

483
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: shelter down I guess. Oh, I don't know, probably about

484
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: ten feet, yeah, probably six to six eight ten feet yeah,

485
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: and crashed to the ground. And it's a quick shot

486
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: on video. You hear the crowd screaming and gasping at all. So,

487
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't know some of them were hurt, but I

488
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: never found a story that says how badly they were hurt.

489
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they all fell on top of each other and

490
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: it's they looked. There was a photo of them standing

491
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: right before they fell through, and they just looked like

492
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: the dumbest clocks you could imagine. I mean a few

493
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: years ago. Remember they won a Super Bowl in twenty

494
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 1: eight teams just five years ago. Yeah, So it's not

495
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: like you know, they're Cubs fans waiting a hundred years's

496
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: it's five years well, and the Phillies were just in

497
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: the World Series this past season, right, so they've had

498
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: plenty of plenty of good fortune here. But if you

499
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: remember a few years ago, they were they were climbing

500
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: light poles and the police had greased the poles in

501
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: downtown Philly and it didn't stop him. These guys were

502
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: climbing up the greased poles. Anyway. They did it yesterday too.

503
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Oh did they grease the poles again yesterday? Oh yeah,

504
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: it says at one point seven people were hanging from

505
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: a traffic light. How much do you have to drink

506
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: a lot? I mean, well, think about when when teams

507
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: win championships here in LA what goes down? Oh yeah,

508
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: they burned. Yeah, I mean that's serious. This is kids stuff, right. Well,

509
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean some might argue Philly fans are a bit

510
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: crazier than LA fans. Yeah. Yeah, the Laker fans are

511
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: more violent, though. You get you get, you get, you

512
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: get real vandalism and looting and fires going on cars

513
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: turning over. Yeah right, I mean those are the professionals.

514
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: So I but I saw the video today. Somebody had

515
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: it on Twitter. I just kept watching it over and

516
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: over again, I couldn't get enough of it. They had

517
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: it in a loop and I just kept watching him

518
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: and fall through and fall through and fall through. Could

519
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: you just imagine being one of those people on top

520
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: and the second you realize you're starting to fall through,

521
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: what's going through your head? Yeah? I remember a few

522
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: years ago there was there was video of a Malibu

523
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: beach house. Oh yeah, there's a party or something on

524
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: the party. Yeah, And that was a overloaded beach house

525
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: probably I think it was a wooden deck and they

526
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: all went crashing down to the bottom. I mean, you

527
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: can kind of tell when one of those decks are

528
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna go. And realistically, does going on an elevated surface

529
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: usually end well, No, No, when every when it's overcrowded

530
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: and everybody's drunk, somebody, somebody's gonna fall, somebody's gonna pitch over.

531
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: And completely changing the subject for a second, because I've

532
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: forgotten about this story and I wanted to mention it.

533
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: That idiot Sam bankin freed FTX, you know, a big fraud.

534
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: There was a two hundred and fifty million dollar bail

535
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: bond on him. Somehow, I don't know, his parents helped

536
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: bail him out. You know what they used to bail

537
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: him out. They have a home that they own that's

538
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: worth three and a half million dollars. It's five bedrooms,

539
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: three thousand square feet. It's up well, it's on the

540
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Stanford property. Stanford owns the land underneath, they own the home. Um. Anyway,

541
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: they were able to use that house to bail their

542
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: idiots son out. I don't know why, but that bugs me.

543
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 1: It's perfectly legal, but the family is so obnoxious and entitled. Conways, here,

544
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: would your dad bail you out? I don't think my

545
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: dad would. My dad never had any money. It would

546
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: have to be for a parking ticket. See that. That

547
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: hurts me even more because my dad did. Well. Yeah,

548
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: it's still say no, no, no, no, no, I gotta

549
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: go to the races. Um. Bad news, sad news just happened.

550
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: Cindy Williams from Laverne Shirley just passed away. Oh yeah,

551
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: it's horrible. It's like I would have said, she was

552
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: probably I don't know, in her sixties. She was seventy

553
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: five years old though. Yeah, well that was a good time.

Speaker 1: prison up in central California and turned into a pot farm.

558
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,440
