18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: A story from two years ago. May of twenty twenty one.

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Joanna Kloonan was driving her son Aiden to kindergarten in

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: the carpool lane of the fifty five freeway and another

21
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: driver sped up, cut her off and flashed a peace sign.

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Kloonan was frightened and gave the other driver a middle finger.

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: The driver was a woman. The woman had a boyfriend

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: named Marcus Aurez. Ariz pulled out a gun and shot

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: at Joanna Klunan's car and killed her son Aiden. He

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: took a bullet in the back. And now Marcus Ares

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: has been on trial and we're gonna go to Corbyn. Carson,

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: who's been at the courtroom. Corbyn, how are you?

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm doing pretty good. So this has been a

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: relatively quick case. We just started talking about this last Thursday,

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 4: you and I John. It's now been boiled down to

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: essentially second degree murder or voluntary manslaughter. The question of

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: gil pretty much off the table since the guy admitted

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: this to police in an hour long statement. Execution laid

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: out their case and the defense declined to call any

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: witnesses and Marcus Ares declined to testify, the defense saying

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: this is because an hour long interrogation was the most

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: truthful Ares was and they were willing to let that stand.

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: And then the both the prosecution and defense argued using

40
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: that video for or against second degree murder. That's the

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: difference between twenty five years to life in prison or

42
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: forty years, given that there are a couple other charges

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: and enhancements. So Senior Deputy District Attorney Dan Feldman says,

44
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 4: Marcus Ares admitted to police in twenty twenty one all

45
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: the requirements for second degree murder of intent and malice.

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 5: We're not here.

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 6: To try whether or not he regrets what he did.

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: That's not our issue.

49
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 6: The issue is what did he do and why did

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 6: he doing when he killed eighty And at no point

51
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 6: does he ever say anything remotely close to I was overwhelmed,

52
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 6: it got out of hand, never comes out of his

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 6: mouth when asked multiple times, why did you do it?

54
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 6: I don't know why'd you do it? It were stupid,

55
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 6: It didn't warrant my response.

56
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 5: It's not a reason to shoot at somebody.

57
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 6: That is the evidence.

58
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: And then on the other side of that, OC public

59
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: defender Randall Bethune, he argues that people, the people have

60
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: not proved murder. He says, this case is all about

61
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: uh voluntary manslaughter.

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: He straightens up and he leans forward.

63
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 7: He is welcoming the chance to tell whatever he needs

64
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 7: to tell.

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: I'll tell you anything, how can I help you with?

66
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: This is not a man who's hiding anything. This is

67
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 5: a man who feels remorseful for what he has done

68
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 5: in the moment, and he's giving you exactly what it

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: is that happened.

70
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 7: And it's so unfortunately and gentlemen, but he doesn't have

71
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 7: when he fired that weapon, he did not have the mouse,

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 7: He didn't have an intent to annoy, he didn't have

73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 7: an attempt to destroy, He didn't have any intent whatsoever.

74
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 5: He rashly pulled the trigger. And it's that super And.

75
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: So that pretty much wrapped up here in the last

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty minutes. For the last forty five minutes,

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: the jurors have been hearing the instructions on what they're

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: supposed to do with all this information before they come out.

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: They are allowed to consider a voluntary or involuntary manslaughter

80
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: along with the second degree murder.

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: So what are those three that's on the menu there? Voluntary, involuntary,

82
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: or second degree murder?

83
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: Correct?

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 4: And it's pretty much voluntary because the difference between the two.

85
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: Murder requires malice forethought. Voluntary manslaughter includes death caused by

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 4: heats of passion. In sudden fights, and there was a

87
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: lot of argument about whether or not he was in

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: the heat of passion, saying since he said he wasn't angry.

89
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 4: Involuntary manslaughter, on the other hand, is when you cause

90
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: someone's death during a crime that is not inherently dangerous.

91
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 4: But in this case, it is obviously dangerous to shoot

92
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: off a gun rush hour of traffic at a car.

93
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: I know we went through this on Thursday, but I

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: simply don't understand the defense that he's not angry. Who

95
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: pulls out a gun and fires it at a woman's

96
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: car unless they're upset about something.

97
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there was a lot There was a lot

98
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: of talk about whether.

99
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: Or not he was smiling when he was smiling. The

100
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: prosecution is saying he's smiling as he shoots, the defense

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 4: saying he was smiling in general about the peace sign.

102
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: And that's when Cleonan came close to the car, and

103
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: was he angry or not angry and he's in that

104
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 4: What that didn't end up being a sticking point because

105
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: the anger, whether or not he was anger, doesn't change

106
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 4: the fact of what he did. Is at least that's

107
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 4: what the prosecution that makes sense.

108
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 2: What does it matter.

109
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: Why do we have to try to discern his emotions?

110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: That doesn't matter. The crime is that your emotions are

111
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: not the crime.

112
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 4: It does when you at least what they're telling, what

113
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: they told the jurors is it does when you're making

114
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: a distinction on trying to reduce from second degree murder

115
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: down to some form of manslaughter. What was his state

116
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 4: of mind when this happened? And the defense is saying

117
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 4: he didn't even think. He was saying it was just

118
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: five seconds, grab the shut grabbed the gun out of

119
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 4: the back seat behind uh the driver, roll down the window,

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: and then shoot, shoot the gun off five seconds, says

121
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 4: to the defense, While the prosecution says this happened and

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: he grabbed, he slowed, the prosecution slows down. He grabbed

123
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 4: the gun out, he switched it from his left hand

124
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 4: to his right hand because he was in the pass Wait.

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 2: Wait a second, she slowed down.

126
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: No, no, no, there, I'm saying the prosecution slowed down this moment, said.

127
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: The defense is speeding up this moment, saying he didn't

128
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: think in those few seconds of grabbing the window. Whereas

129
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: the prosecution slows down that moment as he grabbed it, well.

130
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: Because it's a series of decisions he has to make.

131
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: He has to make a decision to roll down the window,

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: he has to make a decision to turn around, to

133
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: reach for the gun, to pick up the gun, to

134
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: cock it and fire it. That's that's five separate decisions

135
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: there right now. Maybe it takes only a few seconds

136
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: to go through all those motions, but it's it's willful

137
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: motions and something has to be driving that that doesn't

138
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: happen randomly, right correct.

139
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: And then on top of that, the prosecution is arguing

140
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: that this guy, and they spent some time on this,

141
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: understood how to use weapons. He passed a course he

142
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: had gone to, He had extensive gun knowledge, he knew

143
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: he mentioned several times during the video. Did you know

144
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: this would be dangerous, deadly?

145
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: Yes? But you did it anyway. Yes.

146
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: This was played many many times and will be a

147
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: sticking point as to his frame of mind when he

148
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: did this.

149
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: It's just a bizarre defense, it is.

150
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: And you know, here's the thing. The defense didn't call

151
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: any witnesses or anything. And I've brought this up before.

152
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: They have to have some sort of defense, and the

153
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: best thing that this defend this defense attorney is holding

154
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: the entire defense on is this.

155
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: Was just a rash thought.

156
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: He had no idea aiden Laos was in the backseat

157
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: of that car. He did not intend to kill the kid.

158
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: That's why they kept going to work for five days

159
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 4: and didn't know that the entire world was looking for

160
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: them for sixteen days.

161
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: That's the defense's case.

162
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: Kills a six year old boy? You know, I imagine that.

163
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm just guessing here, Todd Spitzer. The DA did not

164
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: offer a plead deal.

165
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: Huh no, no, please in this one, right.

166
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: So that's why they had to come up with some

167
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: kind of feeble defense just to see if they could

168
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: squeeze a manslaughter conviction out right.

169
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: But the set to the six year old boy part.

170
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: The defense attorney wants to remind everybody that it doesn't

171
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: matter whether this was a six year old kid or

172
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: some other it's it's the law is what happened, How

173
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: was his state of mind?

174
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 2: What did he do?

175
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: That's the distinction between the murder charge and the manslaughter charge.

176
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: All right, Cory, But and when so the jury does

177
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: it have now? The case should be getting it right now.

178
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: I came down to the court, came out of the court,

179
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: to talk to you. So they should be going through

180
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 4: the forty five minutes of instruction, then they're gonna talk

181
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 4: about this. I mean, the defense did bring up a

182
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: lot of stuff that they're going to have to analyze.

183
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: So there's a decent sized chance this might take a while.

184
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: And there's also a good sized chance they're like, nope,

185
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: we got a verdict, we're ready.

186
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: Well, on the chance that it takes ten minutes, maybe

187
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: we'll talk to.

188
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: You this out.

189
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: I'll still be here, all right. That's what it should

190
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: take is ten minutes. A right, Thank you, Carbin, Thanks

191
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: you good work there. From KFI News on the case

192
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: of Aiden Laus, the six year old who got a

193
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: bullet from this creepy ponytailed guy. When we come back,

194
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna give way another thousand dollars. And I have

195
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: several stories on stupid progressive ideas that failed, probably could

196
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: go on for hours, but two in particular today, and

197
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: we're also going to discuss and this is something that

198
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: in the final days of the El Segunda Times I

199
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: will highlight when they do a proper story. They have

200
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: a headline, why are so many evy charging stations broken

201
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: in California? Even the el Segunda Times is admitting that

202
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: the electric charging system outside of Tesla is busted. Here

203
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: and when I tell you why, you'll see what happened here.

204
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: It's not much different than the Boeing situation.

205
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Coebelts on demand from KFI AM

206
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 8: six forty.

207
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: Here is another chapter of stupid progressive ideas that don't work.

208
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: Like California, New Jersey banned plastic bags, single use plastic bags,

209
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: those thin, flimsy ones, and they shifted to alternative bags,

210
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: thicker ones, and they charged us here in California a

211
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: dime still do. And the idea was because they were thicker, stronger,

212
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: we could use them over and over again. Well, in

213
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey, nobody's doing that. In fact, well, i'll read

214
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: you the quote from the Democratic governor Phil Murphy. He's

215
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: one of these weasels like Newsome. Plastic bags are the

216
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: most problematic forms of garbage, leading to millions of discarded

217
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: bags that stream annually into our landfills, rivers and oceans.

218
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: There are not millions of bags streaming into the river's landfills.

219
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: Well in the landfills, yeah, but that's what landfills are

220
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: supposed to be for but not into the rivers and oceans.

221
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: That's totally exaggerated. That's a lie. With today's historic bill signing,

222
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: we are addressing the problem of plastic pollution with solutions

223
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: that will help mitigate climate change and strengthen our environment

224
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: for future generations. So he gave the big pompfoon speech.

225
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: So now you got to pay money and get the

226
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: reusable bags made of a different kind of plastic. But

227
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: the reusable bags, the reusable bags people didn't like because

228
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: they started stacking up in their homes because you didn't

229
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: always remember to take them out with you or you know,

230
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: other family members were out shopping.

231
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: You know, people shop spontaneously. You don't, I'm with you.

232
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: You forget to have them, and you know, they started

233
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: stacking up. You know, there was a time where there

234
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: were reusable bags everywhere, and we have a pile in

235
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: our garage that nobody touches.

236
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: It's one of those things.

237
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: You think you're going to use them, but I tell you,

238
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: the thicker plastic bags, now, I save those, not to

239
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: take them back to the grocery store, because I'm not

240
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: one of those weenies. When I see a guy carrying

241
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: a usable bag. That just screams weenie. That just seems

242
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: a guy who had some kind of procedure. But what

243
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: they're good for is is cat and dog poop. You

244
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom because we have a pad in

245
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: or bathroom in case the cat and dog are in

246
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: the mood. And then I used that and put him

247
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: in the plastic bags. That's the only reuse I've discovered

248
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: for them.

249
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: I have a suggestion, but why don't you train your

250
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: dog to go outside? Then you don't have to you

251
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: don't have to have any bags, and your cat could

252
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: use the litter box.

253
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: The cat at times refuses to use the litter box.

254
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: We have several in the house, and I don't know.

255
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: She looks inside, turns around, goes on the floor.

256
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: She likes to see you watch your extra duty.

257
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: Oh it's extra duty, all right, exactly.

258
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 9: I chose my words careful, A.

259
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: Lot of duty.

260
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: The dog, however, he always goes on the pad, and

261
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: you know I let him run around the backyard. But

262
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't like going outside, especially in the rain last week.

263
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 9: Well, that's understanding.

264
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: He would take you.

265
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: I'd say, come on, go take a run. He took

266
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: three steps and he turned around, to look at me like,

267
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: are you nuts going out there? It's wet at any event.

268
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: Because people are throwing out the thicker bags, eventually they're

269
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: not reusing them. We are in New Jersey. They're using

270
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: three times as much plastic every year. New Jerseyans previously

271
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: consumed fifty three million pounds of plastic before the band.

272
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Now it's one hundred and fifty one million pounds. The

273
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: reusable bags are much thicker than single use plastic bags.

274
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: They use fifteen times the amount of plastic. Most New

275
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: Jerseyans only reuse the bags two to three times.

276
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 9: What about cloth bags? I have a bunch of those.

277
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: That's not something then will carry. That's what I'm trying

278
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: to say, because it's it feminizes you.

279
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 9: What if you had a bag that said the John

280
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 9: Cobelt Show.

281
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 10: I'm not going to put my name on it. What

282
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 10: about all the bacteria that get stuck in the bag.

283
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 10: Let's say if the chicken juice or the meat juice

284
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 10: spills out, you go to wash the and it's happened

285
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 10: to me, No, thank you no.

286
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: That leaks out and then starts to smell, and then

287
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: bugs get in there and you end up with a disease,

288
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: and there is there is no man, a real man

289
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: who walks in with a classic reasonable bag.

290
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 9: You're gonna have so many people disagreeing with you on

291
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 9: that one.

292
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: Well, they can.

293
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: But that's when I when I see a guy, I

294
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: feel sad for him. I figured his wife, Uh I do.

295
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: He's probably got somebody at home yelling at him and

296
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the guts to stand up and say no,

297
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm not taking in my plastic reusable bag or claw.

298
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 10: I'll never forget the outrage when the plastic band went

299
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 10: into place, because I was working at Vaughan's at the

300
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 10: time when I was in college, and the customers when

301
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 10: they were told they were getting charged ten cents a bag, oh,

302
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 10: they would let the cashiers have it sometimes.

303
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: Well that was a.

304
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: Scam because what the state did is they split money

305
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: with the grocery stores, and the grocery stores started adding

306
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: cumulative millions of dollars of profit over the years from

307
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: selling those stupid bags, and that was the whole purpose

308
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: of this.

309
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, the store I worked that got dinged because we

310
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 10: weren't charging people for bags because it just became too

311
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 10: much of a.

312
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Hassle because half of it is a tax that the

313
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: state collects. The other half is just extra profit for

314
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: the stores, and that's why the stores didn't put up

315
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: any resistance. So we just got screwed, and of course

316
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: they had a cover story it wasn't going to help

317
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: the environment. Well, according to this New Jersey study, it

318
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: doesn't help the environment at all. There's triple the amount

319
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: of plastic. Now, idiots, and we come back, Well, it's

320
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: been the rest of the hour on some of this stuff,

321
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: a lot more progressive ideas that don't work. But we

322
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: have to do the EVS charging story because even the

323
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: El Segundo Times, in one of its last issues, is

324
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: admitting that the EEDE charging stations around the state are

325
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: mostly broken, and there's a reason for that.

326
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

327
00:16:59,400 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 8: six forty.

328
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: You can hear us from one to four every day,

329
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: and sometime after four o'clock we have the Johnny Ken

330
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: on demand podcast that goes online and you could listen

331
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: to what you missed. Okay, Well, finally we're hitting critical

332
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: mass in the media where it just seems like every

333
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: publication is finally telling the truth about EV's and charging stations.

334
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: The EV's have no range, they don't work in cold weather,

335
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: they're very expensive to repair, and the EV charging network

336
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: in California really stinks. And even the El Segunda Times,

337
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: which normally I don't know, maybe they've decided this week

338
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: they've got to start putting out stories that are truthful,

339
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: that matter, that don't pander to left wing progressive lunatics.

340
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: But here's the headline, why are so many EV charging

341
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: stations broken in California? Starts with a guy that you

342
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: listen to what I'm telling you, and at the end

343
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: of this you tell me if you're putting down putting

344
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: down a down payment on an EV today. Doug mckun

345
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: of Oakland, he's all ready to buy an electric car,

346
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: a Mustang Mocke. In fact, the paperwork was complete, he

347
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: only had to sign, but he heard bad things about

348
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: charging stations and he felt nervous. So Ford agreed. I

349
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: guess his local dealership agreed to lend him a mock

350
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: e and he started driving it around and he tried

351
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: a few charging stations just to see, then changed his mind.

352
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: Wouldn't sign the deal. Mckown said, I couldn't count on

353
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: finding a charger that's functional, or that doesn't have a

354
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: line of cars waiting because only one of four chargers

355
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: is working. If I was comfortable with the charger situation,

356
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I would have bought the Mockee. So here's a guy

357
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: who has all like he's done on his research, He's

358
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: picked out his favorite model, he's haggled with the dealer.

359
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: All he's got less left is the signature line, and

360
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: he says, can I drive it around to see if

361
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: I could charge this thing? And he couldn't. He couldn't

362
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: charge it. They're not working. The lines are too long,

363
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: most of them are broken, and according to Russ Mitchell

364
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: of the El Segundo Times, if you ask around, many

365
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: ev owners agree. Public chargers have a bad reputation. Companies

366
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: like charge Point, Electrify America, Blink, and ev Go do

367
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: not work twenty to thirty percent of the time, according

368
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: to studies from UC Berkeley and data from JD Power. Now,

369
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: these public chargers are all subsidized with your tax dollars.

370
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: So why don't they work?

371
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: Because the State of California, Gavin New California government get this,

372
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: does not require that charger companies meet any performance standards.

373
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: The state gave out a billion dollars in subsidies and

374
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: grants to the charging companies, billions more on the way,

375
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: but you don't have to prove that.

376
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: Any of them work. What does this remind you of?

377
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: You remember when during the pandemic and we had an

378
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: unemployment department that handed out thirty billion dollars in to

379
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: fraudsters because they didn't do any security checks to see

380
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: if these people, first of all, really existed and were

381
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: eligible for the money, or even lived in the state

382
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: of California. You had people around the world, people in

383
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: Eastern Europe and in Nigeria and Russia, all applying for

384
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: California unemployment money. They were getting it, for God's sake.

385
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: Scott Peterson got a California unemployment check on death row.

386
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Same problem here. Well, it's like Boeing, right, they started

387
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: worrying about uh. There was no incentive at Boeing to

388
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: worry about quality. Management was only worried about profits. There's

389
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: no incentive here for these things to be working. All

390
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: you have to do is manufacture them. So this is

391
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: what happens with human beings. If human beings don't have

392
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: the right incentives, then you get shoddy work. You get

393
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: bad products, bad service. It's simple at Boeing. If there

394
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: was some kind of bonus, some kind of reward for

395
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: quality work and no defects on the assembly line, then

396
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: people would perform better. But there isn't because that would

397
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: cost money and they have a profit motive.

398
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: There not a quality motive. Now. It also for people

399
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: who forget four years ago.

400
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: Now, Gavin Newsom ordered that all the cars and trucks

401
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: light trucks in California have to be zero emissions by

402
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: twenty thirty five, all of them. One hundred percent of

403
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: new cars and light trucks zero emission. You know, in

404
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: four years it's supposed to be fifty percent of all

405
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: the cars and light trucks zero emission.

406
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: That's what he ordered.

407
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: And now everybody, including these idiot progressives in Sacramento, are

408
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: starting to get nervous because the charging stations don't work.

409
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: The lack of reliability of the EV infrastructure is going

410
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: to affect the goals unless we get our act together.

411
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: Set a Democratic Assembly member Jackie Irwin, one thousand oaks.

412
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: You people, one thousand oaks.

413
00:22:52,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: Good job electing that genius, says Frank benchaka President of

414
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: Sustainable Mobility solutions at the Society of Automotive Engineers. As

415
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: people have big titles. If we don't fix this, none

416
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: of our plans, no matter how good they are, will

417
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: come to pass because consumers won't accept evs without a

418
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: reliable EV infrastructure.

419
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: No kidding.

420
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Oh, poor oversight comes from the state not having one

421
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: agency fully in charge.

422
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: Do you believe this?

423
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: There is not one agency in charge to make sure

424
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: that the charging manufacturers produce and maintain working chargers. They

425
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: just give them money, billions of dollars. The Energy Commission

426
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: has oversight. They've given away a half a billion dollars

427
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: in grants and subsidies. The California Air Resources Board, Electrify America,

428
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: let's see California Department Transportation, California Division of Measurement Standards.

429
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: They're all responsible for different parts of the EV infrastructure network. Kia,

430
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: the Korean automobile company, is getting nervous because they put

431
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: a big bet on its EV cars and they're getting

432
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: good reviews, but they're afraid no one's going to buy

433
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: them because too many chargers don't work. Steve Kazowski's manager

434
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: of strategy at Kia, headquartered here in Irvine. What we've

435
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: learned is that the infrastructure is the top of the

436
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: reasons for rejection of evs. Get this, there's no data

437
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: that the state has on how well the charging stations work.

438
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: In fact, the state of California doesn't even know how

439
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: many chargers there are. The federal government claims there's forty

440
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 1: three thousand public chargers in the state. California says no,

441
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: there's only half that they don't know. The Air Resources

442
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: Board is refusing to speak to the La Times, but

443
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: the chair of the board, Leanne Randolph, last year was

444
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: pleading with charging companies to get their act together. Please

445
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: make sure these chargers are fully maintained. There's nothing more

446
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: frustrating than planning on accessing a charging station and finding

447
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: the units not working. The charging companies say, well, we've

448
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: got supply chain problems, software problems, vandalism. Nobody can hire

449
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: a security guard to make sure the vandals that George

450
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 1: gascon lets out don't destroy the charging stations. There's no

451
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: subsidy or grant to hire some fat guy with a

452
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: mustache to wave off the vandals.

453
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: Huh it closed.

454
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: You remember the guy mchune I told you about at

455
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: the beginning of the story. The guy who all he

456
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: had to do was sign the paperwork and he was

457
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: going to own a Ford Mocky, and then he couldn't

458
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: find a charging station, so he changed his mind. He

459
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: was asked, well, why didn't you buy Tesla and he said, well,

460
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: Tesla would have been the go to car for us beat,

461
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: but Elon Musk's antics turned him off. Right, So you

462
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: don't like Elon Musk's politics or tweets, so you won't

463
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: buy his car, even though his car and his charging

464
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: network work extremely well. Good one dope, right, because his

465
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: politics matter and his tweets matter, but not the superior

466
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: quality of his cars in his charging.

467
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,880

475
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 11: with them aware unless you wanted to ken the benefit.

476
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: Second, I gotta hear that again.

Speaker 11: Valuable lesson, don't mess with them aware unless you wanted

478
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 11: to ke the benefit.

479
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,919

00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: for a few seconds.

481
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,360

483
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: Unless you aren't. What was that last for? I don't know.

484
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: Sometimes I've gone to the White House website. They have

485
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: transcripts of all his public appearances and they try to

486
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: clean it up and it's it's kind of funny.

487
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 10: They got the little dashes in the words, and he's like, no,

488
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 10: he meant this, yeah, right.

489
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: Exactly tomorrow, there's going to be an execution. We haven't

490
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: had an execution in quite a while, and this is

491
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: an unusual one. This is happening in Alabama, and it's

492
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: a guy that they tried to kill but it failed,

493
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: and it's Kenneth Eugene Smith, and they're going to kill

494
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: him a different way.

495
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: This time.

496
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: He's going to be killed with nitrogen hypoxia, and the

497
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: nitrogen hypoxia should suffocate him. It's the first execution of

498
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: its kind in the United States. And he made a

499
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: last minute appeal for a stay of execution with the

500
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court said no,

501
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,959
Speaker 1: go die. He had begged the court for mercy because

502
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: he used X hid behind experts claiming that the method,

503
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, is obviously untested. Well that's the whole boy

504
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: to this. Now it's gonna be tested and if it

505
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: doesn't work. Now he survived his first execution, they will

506
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: try to kill him by lethal injection. But the nurses

507
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: could not find a clear vein in time before the

508
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: execution warn't expired. Well, I didn't know they had like

509
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: a like a deadline. Clock buzzer went off, and it

510
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: was like, what a great game show. You've got sixty

511
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: seconds to find a vein and execute this man. Well,

512
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: so he comes back now and they're gonna they're gonna

513
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: pump nitrogen, which will cut off his oxygen and we'll

514
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: see if that works.

515
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Conways here, you.
