1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: This is funny CBS cut out of the queen's funeral

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: to air the price is right and let's make a deal. Wait,

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't over by then, I guess no, I went

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: on till noon I think our time. No it didn't

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: because when I got up this morning, I heard it

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: was over. But they were doing these processions yeah, well

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: including procession. Yeah yeah, because I tuned into one of

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: the morning shows today and they were just covering a procession,

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: not the funeral. Yeah. Well, I mean it's all they

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: went on for hours days processions, right, whenever they were

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: was that was that they were carting the body all

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: over the h I think, so, I tell you the truth.

13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I tuned out, So what I complained is that what

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna say? Yeah, a lot of people complain now

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: was on you know and other network, So I don't

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: know what the what the what the up? I was

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna say, just changed the freaking channel, Yeah, because prices right,

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: Fans would probably complain if that didn't air. You know

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: what happened some days when they cut in for like

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: breaking news and they have to they dump out of

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: either games, those or talk shows, all people go nuts.

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: That's oh because there are people that play the housebound right.

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: They planned their day around that. I used to have

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: a neighbors a long time ago who yelled, I gotta

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: go Oprah's on. I think it's like three o'clock. You

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: know what. I don't think I've ever said that in

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: my whole life. I've got to go, oh yeah, yeah.

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you would say that. I've got to.

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: I'll practice I've got to go Oprah's on as a sound, right,

30
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: does it? I gotta go baseball happening somewhere that I've said,

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: I need to listen to tapes of Mets games from

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine. There's a game on. I gotta go. Okay,

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I've said that, Okay. So we have a development that

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: was made official today. Last week we learned that the

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: former dean of the USC School of Social Work was

36
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: going to plead guilty in a federal bribery case involving

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: then La County Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas. He has since

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: been on the La City Council. Today it's official Mary

39
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: Marylyn Louise Flynn did enter the guilty plea in the

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: bribery case. She now faces a sentence of up to

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: ten years in prison. This woman is eighty three. So

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: who was the last time you saw an eighty three

43
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: year old white collar woman pleaded guilty to corruption to

44
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: a corruption yet a felony, I mean, that's it's rare

45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: federal bribery charge. She's from Los Felis. Her full name

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: is Marilyn Louise Flynn. And here's the details of what

47
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: she pled to. In twenty eighteen, she was trying to

48
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: get an amendment to a contract between her School of

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: Social Work and the La County Department of Mental Health

50
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Services involving something called USC Telehealth, a clinic with USC

51
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: students who provide online mental health and counseling services to

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: county referred clients. The School of Social Work was facing

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: a multimillion dollar budget deficit. Here's apparently what happened. She

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: was really trying to grow the School of Social Work,

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: so she started doing those online degrees. I think Karen

56
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: Bascott won anyway, So she grew it so fast that

57
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: they almost couldn't keep up, and they started spending money

58
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: to expand the school. Well, she was under a lot

59
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: of pressure to raise more money. Yeah, because they were

60
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: running big deficits that whole university was run by Max

61
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: nikaias I think is how he pronounced his name, and

62
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: he told everybody six billion dollars we got to raise.

63
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: So all the deans were forced to come up with

64
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: whatever crazy scheme they could, and so she came up

65
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: with these online courses right. So at the time in

66
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, Ridley Thomas apparently arranged for Flynn to funnel

67
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars from his campaign account through the

68
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: School of Social Work to a nonprofit which was operated

69
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: by his son, Sebastian. And of course we've told you

70
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: before Sebastian was in the State Assembly, but he had

71
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: to resign because of a sex harassment investigation. And we've

72
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: learned something else about him earlier in the show today,

73
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: didn't we concerning He was on the board of Peace

74
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: Over Violence, wasn't right, which is supposed to be, you know,

75
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: to prevent sexual aspect. He and Sheila kuel This is

76
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, These are all interconnected. A Quell and

77
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Mark Ridley Thomas were really close. They both served on

78
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: the Board of Supervisors for a long time together, and

79
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: Kuell was on Patricia Ghiggins board. Ridley Thomas's son was

80
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: on Patricia Giggins board. Patricia Ghiggins gets an eight hundred

81
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars contract of county money. Right. You see, all

82
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: these people, they work together all the time, They do

83
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: these dirty project together, They socialized together, and they know

84
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: there's this huge, gigantic ocean of tax money that comes

85
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: pouring in and that nobody's going to be able to

86
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: keep track of it. If they skim off some money

87
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: here and skim money, skim money here, divert money over there,

88
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna know. There's too much money and there's a

89
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: very little interest there is how it worked. So he

90
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: agreed to provide the money to Flynn, who then sent

91
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars in university funds to the nonprofit

92
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: something called Policy Research and Practice Initiative. They didn't let

93
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: USC know this because that would have violated university policy.

94
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: After that transfer was completed, Thomas set up a meeting

95
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: in May of twenty eighteen between Maryland, Flynn, and a

96
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: high level county official. I wonder who that is, to

97
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: discuss moving forward with an amendment because Flynn was looking

98
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: for this telehealth contract. Really. Thomas subsequently voted in favor

99
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: of the amended contract. It generated about nine million dollars

100
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: a year for the School of Social Work. Yeah, so

101
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: that was her payoff. That's that's what she needed because

102
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: her department was losing money and it meant her reputation,

103
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: her career was on the skids there if she didn't

104
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: reverse the money the money loss. So she was desperate.

105
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: It was desperate. And now she's admitted to it. And

106
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: it's a big deal because I don't know what's going

107
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: to happen to him in his case coming up in

108
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: November for trial, but well, this is damning. She could

109
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: be a she could be a witness. He's screwed. Yeah,

110
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: she's going to testify against him. And they already have

111
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: all the communications, they have all the emails. They know.

112
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: See what Steve Gregory was on last week and he

113
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: said he goes when the Feds do raids like this

114
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: and press charges against major political officials, they have all

115
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: the goods. They've got the goods, They have the whole

116
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: case in place before they do the raid. The raid

117
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: is just to see if they could find anything extra.

118
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: But they already have enough to convict and they know

119
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: they will convey before they even knock on the door. Well,

120
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,679
Speaker 1: then that's what we have to watch in the Sheila

121
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Kuel case, because even though they were there for the raid,

122
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: they didn't conduct the raid. So they're probably gonna see

123
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: what's in there and we'll find out if they'd make

124
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: a case against her. Yeah, but Ridley Thomas is a cook.

125
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: Oh he's toast. Yeah. Oh yeah, he's burnt. He popped

126
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: out of the toaster. And you know what, you might

127
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: as well try to please because with this woman's testimony

128
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: and her plea deal, I don't see any way out.

129
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: By the way, the rest of this is because first

130
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: it was the money that was funneled to his son

131
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: through the nonprofit, and then, as you probably know, he

132
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: supposedly conspired with her to obtain a full tuition scholarship

133
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: and graduate school admission for his son, Sebastian, and he

134
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: got some kind of teaching position as well. Right, So

135
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: all of that in return, he gave Marilyn Flynn the

136
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: contract money. And Ridley Thomas was desperate because his son

137
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: is thirty years old, He's got these the sexual harassment scandal.

138
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: He's also in debt, and he had some health problems.

139
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: He's got a dud on his hands, and so he's

140
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: got he's got to help the dud out. And this

141
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: is what he came up with. Huh, this is what

142
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: he came up with. And look, I it's like everything else.

143
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't think at age sixty six or whatever, he is,

144
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: this is Mark Ridley Thomas's first time. Uh no, no,

145
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. But and I don't think he's the

146
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: only one on the board of supervisors who's been doing

147
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: this nonsense. So, and you're wondering where this came from.

148
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: He has a doctorate in social ethics from USC so

149
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: that's his connection to the school, and that's probably why

150
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: he went there to try to figure out something for

151
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: his son. It was a whole idea of well, let's

152
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: get him on a nonprofit, Let's get him a full

153
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: tuition scholarship, let's get him graduate school admission, let's get

154
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: him some sort of professor appointment. But you know they're

155
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna want something back from me. So he goes to

156
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: Marilyn Flynn or she went to him. I don't know

157
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: how we went to who first, but this is what

158
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: they cooked up. A doctorate in social ethics. He actually

159
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: that's what he has doctorate in ethics? What doctorate do

160
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: you have? Doctorate in loudmouth radio talk show? I didn't

161
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: steale nine million dollars from the taxpayers. Yeah, that's why

162
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: it's curtains for him. So doctor Ridley Thomas will be

163
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: a trial in November or will it be a plea

164
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: deal before that? Is all we're waiting to see. I

165
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: guess yeah. I mean he's a confident guy. I can

166
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: see him still trying to go through with this. Well, good,

167
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: he'll get an even longer sentence. I hope he does.

168
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: You do a plea deal, you get a shorter sentence.

169
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: We got Mark coming out, John and Ken show. All right, well,

170
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: let's move over to Governor dippity do. Governor Newsom is missing.

171
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: He's left the state. I don't know. I think they

172
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: put him on a bus and sent him to Chicago,

173
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: New York. Actually went to New York City to be

174
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: part of some dope climate conference. But meanwhile, everyone's still

175
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: watching the battle he's having with the governor of Florida.

176
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: Ron Descent at this over. One of the big stories

177
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: from the last several weeks, and that's the busting of

178
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: migrants around the country by the governors of Texas and

179
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: the governor of Florida, Rondas Santis from Florida and Greg

180
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: Abbott from Texas. He's the one that's Newsome has been

181
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: busy on Twitter calling it a possible kidnapping ridiculous, that

182
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: was funny. He's morally reprehensible is another word he's using.

183
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: He thinks to Santis an Abbott actually ought to be

184
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: arrested on kidnapping charges. He wrote a letter to the

185
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: US Attorney General saying that they ought to be arrested

186
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: on those federal charges. He actually did that to Merrick Garland. Yes, Now,

187
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: what are they breaking the law through kidnapping? Yeah? Right,

188
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: And of course it's a broad interpretation of kidnapping. They're

189
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: trying to say that, well, if they were lied to,

190
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: they were told things that didn't happen, like there'd be

191
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: benefits for them on the other end or jobs, or

192
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: it's it's to change the subject away from the massive

193
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: illegal immigration that's pouring over the border. You see, that's

194
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: what they're all doing. What ought to be discussed in detail,

195
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: should have been discussed two years ago after Trump left,

196
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: was how do we keep more illegal immigrants from coming

197
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: over the border? All Right, let's do something on that.

198
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: So instead they let everybody over on purpose by design.

199
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: And now that Abbott and desantists are embarrassing the Biden administration,

200
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: all the kiss asses like Newsom are coming up with

201
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: distracting topics. Well, I think this is kidnapping. A shut up,

202
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: sit down, nice try Let's go back to seal off

203
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: the border. That's the only issue to be discussed. Seal

204
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: off the border, not your crazy rantings. Sound like some

205
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: naked guy on a street corner. It's kidnapping. No, I

206
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's kidnapping. And it's worth pointing out that

207
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: the Biden administration has been doing this for months. They've

208
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: been putting people on planes, immigrants on planes, and sending

209
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: them to city and towns all over the country. Okay,

210
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: so what does that tell you. It's okay for him

211
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: to do it, but it's not okay for a Texas

212
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: Republican governor to do it. But yet, because they're they're

213
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: fighting this propaganda war against the other side. Everybody's running

214
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: in an election year and they want to paint the

215
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: other side as being satanic, all right, has nothing to

216
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: do with the issues the people in the Biden White

217
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: House know that they sent illegal aliens on planes and

218
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: on busses themselves. They know that, but that's not part

219
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: of the reality here. The reality is, let's paint the

220
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: Santis and Abbott is being insane, and maybe that damages

221
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: the Republicans in the midterm elections. Something you want to

222
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: know because you might not remember this, and I don't

223
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: think we even covered this. When Newsom was mayor of

224
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco, he launched a program called Homeward Bound. He

225
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: gave homeless people a one way bus ticket out of

226
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: the city. M sounds similar to bussing the migrants to

227
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: other cities. He was bussing his homeless problem away. A

228
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: reporter who interviewed Newsom in two thousand and six described

229
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: the program as the mayor's brainchild. Ah and Newsom argued

230
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: at the time, remember the vast majority of people that

231
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: are out on the sidewalks are not from San Francisco originally.

232
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: They all have contacts somewhere, a godparent, a mother, a brother,

233
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: a sister, and uncle, son, daughter, and those are the people,

234
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: beyond anything else, they can help him turn their lives around. Okay,

235
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: And that's why you know what he's right in what

236
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: he said there, and that's what's infuriating about this. We

237
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: have all the human debris from the other forty nine

238
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: states landing in California, and then we've got that lying sack.

239
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: Garcetti said, these are fellow Angelino's, our brothers and sisters.

240
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: No they're not. Most of them are from at A state,

241
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: the vast, vast majority from at A state. We're taken

242
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: on everybody else's problems. Well, apparently. In twenty nineteen, he

243
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: did an interview on HBO where he claimed that most

244
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: of the homeless people came from Texas, which turned out

245
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: to be nonsense. It was six point seven percent from Texas,

246
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: not the vast majority which k Newsom claimed. He actually

247
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: flat out wide. It's hard to believe. In fact, one

248
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: fact checking website PolitiFact gave Newsom a pants on fire rating. Yeah,

249
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: they found that San Francisco's own figures. From two thousand

250
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: and four through twenty eighteen, twenty percent of Newsom's homeward

251
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: bound bus trips took place inside California, but eighty percent

252
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: took place out of state. Texas was the most popular

253
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: destination but only accounted but only accounted for six point

254
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: seven percent of the trip. But what does that tell you?

255
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: That tells you that they come from dozens of states?

256
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: Right if the number one day is Texas, but it's

257
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: only at six point seven percent, and it's at eighty

258
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: percent total. It isn't the point here that he's criticizing

259
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: the governors of Texas and Florida for trying to show

260
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: the world this is a big burden, we need to

261
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: spread it among He would do the same thing with

262
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: the homeless people. Well, yeah, because he's a liar and

263
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: he's trying to damage Republican chances in November. That's the

264
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: purpose of this. He's not trying to be intellectually consistent.

265
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: He knows what he's done. He knows he put those

266
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: people on the buses like Biden's people know that they

267
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: put illegal aliens on planes. They know what they did.

268
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: They know it's exactly the same policy. It's just that

269
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: they're in a race and they want to They want

270
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: to pummel the other side to make them look heartless

271
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: and crazy. There is nothing real about this debate or

272
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: issue at all. They also know that those kiss asses

273
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: in the news media are going to amplify the story

274
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: against Abbot and DeSantis all the woke progressive advocates who

275
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: pretend that their journalists are going to do propaganda and

276
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: public relations to amplify the criticism of the Republican governors.

277
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: That's the game going on out there. Don't take anybody's

278
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: statements literally. They don't mean them literally. They mean them

279
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: as theater. They mean them as a campaign tactic to

280
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: put the other side on the defensive. Make them constantly

281
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: explain what they're doing now. Concerning the migrants that the

282
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: Florida governor sent to Martha's Vineyard, apparently there was a

283
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: call today involving DeSantis administration officials who said that the

284
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard were homeless and given multiple

285
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: opportunities to voluntarily take the trip or stay behind. They

286
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: said the people were offered hotels, meal, showers, and haircuts

287
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of days before the trip, and some

288
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: did not want to go because the contention is that

289
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: somehow they were forced on those buses or lied to,

290
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: and the Dessantis of saying not true the rumors about

291
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: the migrants being promised jobs and Martha's Vineyard were untrue.

292
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: The individuals were presented with information about benefits and services

293
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: provided to migrants in Massachusetts, which is I don't know

294
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: whether or not they're a sanctuary state, but I guess

295
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: that was the idea that maybe your prospects here in

296
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: Florida aren't as good as your prospects in Massachusetts. Here's

297
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: what you need to know. Massachusetts is a sanctuary state.

298
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: It is uncle yeah, because it's another left wing progressive hellhole.

299
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: But a sanctuary state doesn't mean you're going to get

300
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: jobs and benefits necessarily, but you're not going to get

301
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: turned over to the fetes. It's kind of what the

302
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: idea behind being a sanctuary state, right, I mean, but

303
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: means but they put signs up on their front lawns saying,

304
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: you know, we welcome illegal immigrants. No human is illegal

305
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: in our house. And from Friday to Sunday, if you

306
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: searched Airbnb, there was at least forty five homes or

307
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: private rooms available, with rentals going between two hundred and

308
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars a night. Where's this Yeah, and Martha's vineyard. Oh,

309
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: that's an expensive place. That's a real vacation. Well, did

310
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: you see the overhead photos of Obama? The Obama's go

311
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: see their palatial estate. The Obama's Holy mackerel. You could

312
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: probably camp a thousand people on their estate. I've never

313
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: seen no, Yeah, no, they had these aerial photos of

314
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: the Obama It's it's what is that from speaking fees

315
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: or book fees. Obama's never made much money otherwise. He

316
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: got this this fake Netflix contract. Oh, I forgot about

317
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: the Netflix, and he and his wife put on these

318
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: documentaries that nobody watched. I saw. I saw a promotional

319
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: clip of one of them. It's just really boring and

320
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: tedious and preachy. It's everything you'd expect. Did not, I

321
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 1: do remember, But I never heard any advertising for them.

322
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: I do remember that. Yeah, I think I've seen one

323
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: story about to something in Obama. Netflix said, yeah, find

324
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: me somebody who actually sat through that all the way through.

325
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: It's it's it's like one of Hillary Clinton's books whatever,

326
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: recent books. But no, if you buy them on Kindle

327
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: right Amazon Kindle, there's actually a database somewhere where you

328
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: could see how many people downloaded the book and how

329
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: many people read it, and how far they got, and

330
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: like most people got on average they only got through

331
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: twenty four pages something crazy like that. But most people

332
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: never read the book they bought it. Maybe they were

333
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: virtue signaling to their friends. Yeah. So I just downloaded

334
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: Hillary's book on Kindle today. I can't wait to get

335
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: to it this weekend. That's good. Conta. We're flying up

336
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: to Martha's vineyard and I'll be sitting on my porch

337
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: like a cocktail and reading it. They don't, they don't

338
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: read it. It's funny you said that, because I went

339
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: to a Barnes and Noble actual bookstore for the first

340
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: time in a while, like a month ago. Yeah, and

341
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, they had the bargain table. They were all

342
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: all people's biographies. Did nobody bought mark down? Like all

343
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: the names. I can't remember them all, but Bill Dates

344
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: had a couple of them, And yeah, I know. It's

345
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: it's like nobody buys these books. They go right to

346
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: the discount pile. It's it's kind of like the way

347
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: they finance movies. You pay millions of dollars to all

348
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: these famous people. You hope one out of ten hits

349
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: and strategy. Yeah, all right, we got more coming up.

350
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: John and Ken show kfive A right. The Obama estate, Yeah,

351
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: cost twelve million dollars, beachfront, seven bedrooms, eight and a

352
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: half baths. It looks like a king's castle. It is massive,

353
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: twenty nine out there all the time, probably just a

354
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: few weeks of the summer. I think it's just a

355
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: home of many homes. Yeah, twenty twenty nine acres. And

356
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: so I looked up what they've been earning ever since

357
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: he left the presidency. They got, and I'm not making

358
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: this up, sixty five million dollars deal from Penguin Random

359
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: House to write books that nobody reads. Sixty five million

360
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: and the next nobody reads the books. And how can

361
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: Penguin afford that? I don't know. I don't get that

362
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: is a loss leader situation, or maybe well just a brag.

363
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: We got an Obama book? Well, do you know anybody

364
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: who's writing an Obama book? Do you know? When I

365
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: walked around that bookstore, it's like the best sellers are

366
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: all and it's like the same authors. I don't guess

367
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: nobody reads books anymore, like James Patterson and these people

368
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: that write these I don't know, espionage, intrigue books, pieces

369
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: of fiction, right, yeah, they have a job those romance

370
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: novels too, right yeah right? Or Stephen King he's got

371
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: another book out a yeah, he's still writes a book. Yeah,

372
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: it's like one hundred and twelve and he's written a

373
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: thousand books. The Netflix deal they tried to keep secret,

374
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: but I saw one story said it was in the

375
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: high eight figures. So you know what that means. That's

376
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: eighty to ninety million dollars, which kind of tracks the

377
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars book deal. So that seems reasonable.

378
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: So they probably conservatively took in, you know, about one

379
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars between the book deal and

380
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: the Netflix deal. One hundred fifty million. That's how they

381
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: can afford a twelve million dollars state that they hardly

382
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: go to. Oh well, I don't know. Is Trump getting

383
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: money out to be an ex president? I mean this

384
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: is usually how it works, right, Everybody wants your memoirs,

385
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: so they want you to do a show Trump Trump

386
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: never wrote a book. Those were ghostwriters who did that.

387
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Trump's not gonna sit down and write a book.

388
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: I think Obama really wrote his book, or he just

389
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: sat there with someone and dictated all of this. Maybe

390
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: ramblings Politico. Politico dot COM's it sort of an inside

391
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Washington d C obviously political website that leans left I'm

392
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: telling you all this because the headline of the story

393
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: was intriguing tensions rise between the LA Times and its

394
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: billionaire owner. And the story starts out it was written

395
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: by three people. This past May, a young reporter for

396
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Times, working a weekend fifth, filed one

397
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety words story about people suspected of stealing

398
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: expensive watches before fleeing in a black Rolls Royce. The

399
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: item by Jean Park enraged activists activists. They were upset

400
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: and up by the crime, by how the Times framed

401
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: the incident in West Hollywood. Online advocates pushing to slash

402
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: police budgets derided it as a press release for law enforcement. Now,

403
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: I looked at those two paragraphs and I tried to

404
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: figure out what the activists were upset by. But I

405
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: guess it's because the Times, who was supposed to be this,

406
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, bulwark of progressive journalism, was running a story

407
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: on people stealing watches, and they were upset by that.

408
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't, in other words, a press release for law

409
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: enforce because it's another one of these stories which the

410
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: crime is out of control. They're right because it justifies

411
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: funding the police. If you can't walk down the street

412
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: with abbot without having your watch ripped off by people

413
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: in the Rolls Royce of all things right, they really

414
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: need the money. They've stolen a lot of watches, which

415
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: reminds me. Remember it was early last week. I think

416
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: it was last Monday, when the rapper was shot dead

417
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: at the Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. What followed them the

418
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: next day was a combination of things, but I saw

419
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: more and more stories that people just felt sad for

420
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: the shooter and you may, I see you're puzzled. How

421
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: did you know I had my puzzled face on because

422
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: I can tell I dropped that one like a bomb

423
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: to see what you would do when I can tell

424
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: that you're puzzled. I'm just staring. Yes, I don't understand.

425
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: The thoughts were around the idea that because I guess

426
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: the suspect is a blackmail they're very desperate. It's very

427
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: tough times. It's sad that they have to do this,

428
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: or do this because he stole the jewelry. Probably never

429
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Usually it's all outrage about crime, and there

430
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: was some of that, but some of the coverage was

431
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: also about the plight of what do we do for

432
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: men who do this, We couldn't do a fact to

433
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: help them. Yep, to help them, You put them in prison.

434
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: What's the next question. No, that's not because this is

435
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: the woke, because these aren't real journalists here. These are

436
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: woke advocates. They've taken over most of the publications and

437
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: most of the news websites they've taken over them. They're young.

438
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: I just saw more sympathy for the killer than I

439
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: did for the victim in that story. And they're both blackmails.

440
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, because the other thing, you know, it's

441
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: not covered enough because they have been trained whatever school

442
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: they came out of, that nobody's actually guilty of a crime.

443
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: They are victims of this racist society, of this racist

444
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: society because the infrastructure capitalist system. So what they do

445
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: is just a normal reaction to being forced through this

446
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: this this racist machine sheen that we have set up.

447
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: So no act of violence, no crime, is ever something

448
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: that they should be punished for, none of it. They

449
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: and they really believe this, and then then they're fundamentalists.

450
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: The rest of the political story deals with something we've

451
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: already talked about on the show, but it deals with

452
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: it from their particular perspective. It's about this daughter of

453
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: the Times owner. The Times owner is this billionaire Patrick

454
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: san Chong who watch on is involved in the medical

455
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: health field, right is he? He made his money in

456
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: uh I think he developed a some medic for cancer,

457
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: cancer treatment, right, and then he bought a generic drug

458
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: company and that stock exploded. He brought the drug company

459
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: in order to make his cancer treatment medication, and that

460
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: just led to a big stock gain and an explosive

461
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: amount of money. He went out and bought The Times

462
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: a few years. His daughter is Nika Suon Schunk, twenty

463
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: nine years old and quite the activist holy mackerel, and

464
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: apparently she was one of those who criticized the item

465
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: that I mentioned about the robbery. So this took apparently

466
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: Times staffers back. But this young reporter was being criticized

467
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: by the daughter of the newspaper owner. She apparently sent

468
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: out a tweet The Times was helping to protect the rolls,

469
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: Royce and luxury watches while turning a blind eye to

470
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: the La County Sheriff's Department's overcharging, manipulating crime stats are

471
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: lying about the cost per deputy. This is what she

472
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: was worked up over, right, well, I mean because yeah, yeah,

473
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: because she's she's come out of an elite university where

474
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: that she's one of these woke to fund the police people,

475
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: right exactly. So they have this really skewed, bizarre alternate

476
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: universe on how they evaluate what's going on in the world.

477
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: It's it's not journalism, it's not reality. It's nothing that

478
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: any of us can ever connect to. So these newspapers

479
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: were formerly newspapers, and they still have the same coat

480
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: of arms on the front page. Right, they still have

481
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: the famous logos as Los Angeles Times. Except this isn't

482
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: like nineteen eighty seven anymore. This is now really like

483
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: a left wing blog. If you ever follow left wing

484
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: writers online, and I've read them, you know, for for decades.

485
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: This is the kind of crap they write every day,

486
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: and I read them just to see, you know, how

487
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: their brains work. Wait, you know, it's like reading about

488
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: another religion. Well, why do they believe this? Why is

489
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: this part of their rituals and their belief system. Except

490
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: now they've all come out of college. They all believe this.

491
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: They're twenty five years old. They're working for crap at

492
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: the LA Times, and this is their mentality. And so

493
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: this is now what a newspaper passes for. It's really

494
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: just a left wing student blog from a university. So

495
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: a couple of nuggets in this story. The Times at

496
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: one point had twelve list. They're down to five hundred

497
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: and fifty people. Yeah, because they're losing him fifty million

498
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Yep. But of course most of the

499
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: tension is because well, you know, how much is your

500
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: daughter going to get involved here? And some of the

501
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: people growls to political when they're not named here, that

502
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: they don't know anything about how journalism works and running

503
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: a newspaper, And no they don't, they don't. He's a doctor,

504
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: he's he's involved in medical research. He comes up with

505
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: the miracle drugs. That's his expertise. No, he has zero

506
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: experience running a newspaper. And the daughter has zero experience

507
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: running a newspaper. She is just she comes out of

508
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: advocacy world. Oh she's the one that apparently told him

509
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: to stop using the word looting. Yeah right, it's crazy

510
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Yeah, And it's just it's all, it's all,

511
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: it's all looney tunes. But again, the Times just running on.

512
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: It's on its nameplate, it's running on its coat of arms.

513
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: It's running on the way things used to be where

514
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: people respected it. You know. I New York Times gets

515
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: about a billion page views a billion page views. The

516
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: LA Times gets about forty three million. Okay, I mean

517
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: that's all you need to know. They get less than

518
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: five percent of the New York Times page views. Oh,

519
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean crackpot right and left wing blog

520
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: sites get more page views than the LA Times does.

521
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming out Johnny ken Show,

522
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: k all right, you can say that, well, you know,

523
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: and then you run, you run into one of these stories,

524
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: and you just wonder what's going on in people's heads.

525
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: There is a weather man in New York City, Spectrum

526
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: News New York one Emmy nominated apparently got into a

527
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: little trouble because, for reasons only he can explain, he

528
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: apparently liked to go on adult webcams sites and post

529
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: nude so somebody took pictures and sent them to his

530
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: mother and his boss. His mother, his mother don't do that.

531
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: His name is Eric Adam Adam et ad Am. He

532
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: posted a statement on Instagram shortly after he filed court papers.

533
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: By the way he sees sewing over this. He was

534
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: terminated and he said he's getting professional help. He called

535
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: this compulsive behavior. Now you want to hear what his

536
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: words were. This is great. Despite being a public figure

537
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: and being on television and the biggest market in the country,

538
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: in front of millions of people five days a week,

539
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: more than a decade and a half, I secretly appeared

540
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: in an adult webcam website. It was absurd of me

541
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: to think I could keep this private. Nevertheless, my employer

542
00:31:54,520 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: found out and I was suspended and then terminated. The

543
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: man took naked pictures of him without his consent on

544
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: this video chat website identified as you consent. He goes

545
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: on a video chat website that's pubblic what's this consent thing?

546
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. So person sent the pictures to my

547
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: mother and to and why one, with the attent of harassing, annoying,

548
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: or alarming me and interfering with my employment relationships. He's

549
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: seeking a court order to force the site to reveal

550
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: the identity of whoever did this, noting he will sue them.

551
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: You talk about changing the subject. You see what people

552
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: do now They change the subject. And he's going after

553
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: the guy the weatherman here he's the one who is

554
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: exposing himself. Does the webcam site have rules about no

555
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: about maybe taking pictures or distributing any of them. I

556
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: have no idea. I don't know. He did say it

557
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: was a lapse in judgment. You're telling me, and then

558
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: he used the word I had never seen before. He

559
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: says he doesn't apologize for being gay or sex positive. Oh,

560
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a new euphemism. If you're running around sleeping

561
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: with everybody in sight, or you're you're you're doing porn,

562
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: you're exposing yourself or whatever you're you're you're just sex

563
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: positive like your sexualities as see, you knew that one.

564
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: I've never heard of sex hyphen positive. Yes, no, I've

565
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: read about it. It's to justify every possible deviant behavior

566
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: on the planet, Like they find you naked with a

567
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: goat and you're putting the videos up online. Well, I'm

568
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: sex positive about it. Yeah, I read it regards all

569
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: consensual sexual activities is fundamentally healthy and pleasure. But that's

570
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: not true. Maybe I can name several that are not healthy.

571
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: He says he's learned a lesson, and he's short any

572
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: future employers he will be an exemplary. It was gonna

573
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: put him on TV all right. Conways here, yeah, I'm

574
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: sex dead. Okay, enough about your personal life. I've had

575
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth, the Britain's longest reigning monarchy. They finally, yes

576
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: they did, But man, that was I watched it on

577
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: c SPAN because there wasn't a lot of commentary. You

578
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: could just you know, watch it and observe. And many

579
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: those Brits know ought to put on a show, you know,

580
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: cattle Mighty they get everybody else I missed. I missed

581
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: all of its. It was good. How you can come

582
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: over and check it out outdoor water and can resume

583
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: in La County, So get your hoses out. Gonuts uh,

584
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: and California's wheeble to choose human composting as their burial

585
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: method starting in twenty twenty seven. I love it. Would

586
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: you like to be a pile of dirty? Yeah? What

587
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: the hell? Right? Fertilizer? Right? And then Hurricane Fiona slams

588
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic. Look like it's going to come to

589
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: the United States. But you know they've got eighty two

590
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: different models right where it's gonna go, right, so they

591
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: can't be wrong, right, But all eighty two models are

592
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: within a mile and a half of each other. Why

593
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: have eighty two? Right? Why not have two? Unbelieve of all? Right,

594
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: but everybody, you know, good time to ask. It's mid September.

595
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: This hasn't been a really busy hurricane season. Has it

596
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: a zero? Up? None of them have hit the US,

597
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: none of them. And it's almost late September. Yeah, yeah,

598
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: and it's almost over. I wonder, and I wonder how

599
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: many predictions that because of climate change? Eleven they said

600
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: there was going to be a huge number. The number

601
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: was eleven. They said the eleven eleven hurricanes and five

602
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: major going to hit the United States. So they better,

603
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: they better get going at Oh, the experts are wrong again. Yeah,

604
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: they look, they couldn't predict two weeks in advance, you

605
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: know what they can That's why they moved over to

606
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: the drought. The droughts a new big climate change. They

607
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: can't predict a few hours in advance. Sometimes on weekends,

608
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: I look up the hourly forecast for wherever I am,

609
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,320
