1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Welcome. How are you? We got a new time. We're

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna be on from one to four every day and

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: you can listen to the podcast on the iHeartMedia app.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Just type in John and Ken on demand and you'll

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: get the whole program there. Now, when you think about this,

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: when we first came on to KF five years ago,

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: we were on at four pm. Yeah, then we moved

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: to three, then we moved to two. Now we're one.

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: We on our way to morning drive. Is that what's

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: going on in about fifty years? Yeah? Fifty years? Okay,

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: well fifty in for that, it'll be exciting. That's right

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: show to listen to. We have the Google Pool results

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: for you today. It's our first show of the new year.

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: We're not going to reveal the winner till three o'clock hour. However,

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: writing finish, we can drop a couple of tidbits which

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: we like to do along the way. And the one

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: that I think stood out because this hasn't happened in

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: a while. Let's put it this way. This used to

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: never happen, then it kept happening for a while. Now

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: it's not happening. And that is some going three for

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: three If you don't know what the Google poole is,

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: because there might be a couple of people that this

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: is the Gary and shannonh Hour previously, right, well, it

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: was a lot of hours. Well I just meant, oh previously, yeah,

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: most recently, yes, yeah. We have our listeners pick three

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: people that they think will pass away, but they have

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: to be well known people according to our panel of judges. Okay,

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: can't pick somebody obscure. And it's a point system. So

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: the younger the person is who dies, the more points

30
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: you get, the more likely it is you will win

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: the Google Pole. And that, of course is what happened

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two with the death of a very

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: young person. And we're going to talk to the winner

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: at three o'clock. But that stood out for me that

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Of course. The other thing that

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: caught my eye is the top incorrect picks. One hundred

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: and two people went with Jimmy Carter. He's not going

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: down nineteen ninety seven, oldest president that's ever existed. No

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: other president ever lived this one, and no other president

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: was worse than his job outside of the current one.

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: They it's true one termer, which means Biden's going to

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: live to one hundred and ten. If that's the formula,

43
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: that's very possible. Your your lifespan is inversely proportional to

44
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: your confidence. Probably the biggest news that occurred while we

45
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: were away for nearly two weeks, they arrested a guy

46
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: for killing the Idaho college students. His name is Brian Coburger,

47
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: and I have to point this out, John Coe Belt. Yes,

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: the hun day was key. Yes, I did turn out

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: to be a big part of solving we think the murders.

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: I know, I find I found all the news that

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: came out after his arrest to be fascinating. Just his

52
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: personality profile, which which kind of fits into your classic

53
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: mass killer profile. But he's a PhD student, no in

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: terms of awkward, lonely, repelled women, right yeah, you know,

55
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: and he was bullieved, but he was aggressive to unpleasant

56
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: personality right right, and so you know, there's a lot

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: of a lot of anger inside him. I think he

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: came out a bad seed. I think he was born evil.

59
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: And uh it took till twenty eight though too. He

60
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: had no criminal record, which is what made this difficult

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: with the DNA. But as I guess, they did go

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: to one of those ancestry a databases. Yeah, and they

63
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: tracked probably a second or a third cousin of his.

64
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: And then because I mean, you think about it, it it

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: put it together between the car, the fact that he

66
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: didn't live that far away, right, the fact that they

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: eventually tracked his DNA because apparently they had to obtain

68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: his DNA, so they were they were monitoring him for

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: a number of days, and somehow it looks like they

70
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: we believe they collected his DNA. Yeah, then they matched

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: it to the crime scene. And his dad went out

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: to Idaho to drive with him from Idaho back to

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania for the holidays. Yea. And they hit the highway

74
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: and I think I think for most of that trip

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: they were being tailed by law enforcement and they got

76
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: pulled over twice or something. Now, yeah, in Indiana, both

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: of those things speeding in tailgating. So what what I mean,

78
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: we'll see because they're transporting back to Idaho and then

79
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: they're going to unseal a lot of the evidence and

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how all this played out. But what's likely

81
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: that they did law enforcement is they waited until he

82
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: disposed of a water bottle or soda cup or something

83
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: like that. And then dumpster dived into the garbage can,

84
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: pulled it out and then matched it to the DNA

85
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: at the scene and the DNA that they had suspected

86
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: through the genealogy search. Yes, Now, what's happened today was

87
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: there was an extradition hearing he's waving extradition from Pennsylvania

88
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: back to Idaho. The breaking news is um the appearance

89
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: of his parents, who put masks completely over their faces.

90
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: You know, mask it's used for COVID, but it's almost

91
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Actually the father's almost covering his eyes, and he's got

92
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: a big hat on. He's a fat guy getting out

93
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: of the car. They're standing behind their son and they

94
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: don't want to know. They think he's innocent and good one.

95
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, how else you explain your DNA at the

96
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: scene unless you're going to say something like, oh, that

97
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: was a party house. I was there once for a

98
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: party and I cut my finger. No. Yeah, Well, Plus,

99
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: it's their DNA that's at the scene. That's what's funny.

100
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: If it's his DNA, it's fifty percent of mom and

101
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: fifty percent of dad. Right, So what I'm saying is

102
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: they're going to try to explain the fact that some

103
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: of his DNA was found in the murder house. Yeah,

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: because he may have been there for a party sometime

105
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: and maybe something happened. And unless it was a blood sample, yeah,

106
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: but I think it was more closely connected to the murders.

107
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: Oh struggle. I mean, you know, he's he's such a

108
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: whack job. And by the way, I have to point

109
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: this out and I'm so sorry that Yabber is not

110
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: here today. Um but but this guy is not only

111
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: an ultra vegan, he, according to his neighbors, never sleeps.

112
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: So we have an ultra vegan that never sleeps. And

113
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: first person I thought of as well, you know who, Yeah, yeah,

114
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: there's some relative who no longer is connected to the

115
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: family but was connected by marriage who says he refused

116
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: to eat any food that with cooked in pots or

117
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: pans that was once used to make meat, to prepare meat,

118
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: he would not, so I guess he would question the

119
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: homeowners where he was having dinner. Well, some people are

120
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: like that, Like with French fries. They want to know

121
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: that it's cooked. Yeah, yeah, you know, I guess not

122
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: an animal fat, yeah, not in the pan, right, right,

123
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: And they want to make sure they are right that

124
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: it's a non animal fat that they that they fry

125
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: the French fries in, right, And there are some that

126
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: go through fast food places and they're going to get

127
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: like the beyond meat, but they're like, you might not

128
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: be making that on the same grail as you're making

129
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: the real meat patty. That's it, right. They can't have

130
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: any like animal product residue on their veggie burger or

131
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: they're beyond burger, whatever the hell you call that thing.

132
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: I think the biggest tidbit that's missing here is his

133
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: connection to these people. Now, the father of one of

134
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: the victims says there is a connection, but he did

135
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: not reveal it. As John said, when we get back

136
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: to Idaho and they began to unseal all that they

137
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: have on him, that will come out. Well, he's what

138
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: was the connection, because it reports where he did stalk

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: these people, or at least one or two of them,

140
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: for several weeks before he committed the murder. He lived

141
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: ten minutes away. Yes, he went pretty close. He went

142
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: to the border. He went to Washington State. It's almost

143
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: like they have twin towns across the border and twin universities.

144
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: You got Washington State University on the left in Pullman, Washington,

145
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: and then you crossed the border and on the right

146
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: is Idaho University of Idaho, and that's out of Moscow.

147
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: So you know, I bet you the students from both

148
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: towns intermingle a lot. There's probably a lot of inter

149
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: dating going on, and they're going to the same bars

150
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: and restaurants and clubs and all that. So it's probably

151
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: like a double sized community of students. And he was

152
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: reported to go into bars and often offend women. You know,

153
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: he'd sit at the bar and make comments to waitresses

154
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: or other women, try to come on to them, and

155
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: they would give him a negative response, and then he

156
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: would get mad. In fact one, and this is at

157
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: a brewery it might have been in Pennsylvania where his

158
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: parents live, said you can't come in here again. You

159
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: do that one more time, and we're throwing you out

160
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: because he would upset any women who that he spoke with. Right,

161
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: So he's one of those It's like an in cell creeper.

162
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say, Just bring us back

163
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: to the in cell theory. Yeah, Oh, he fits the profile.

164
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you go to twenty eight and you're telling

165
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: every woman that you've known tom since I mean since

166
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: like elementary school. I've seen quotes from a girl in

167
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: New him since he was five years old and he

168
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: was a freak in elementary school. There's a woman who

169
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: says she was an inmate at the same jail whether

170
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: they've been holding coburger in Pennsylvania called Monroe County Jail.

171
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: A woman Valerie Chippolina, who well, she may have been

172
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: paid for this, but she told the Daily Mail that

173
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: he's a crazy guy in there, and he actually said

174
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: to her, you come in here and I'll cut you.

175
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: He would sit there and sing violent rap lyrics. He

176
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: tried to expose himself at one point. This is her

177
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: story that there's apparently some sort of a glass wall

178
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: that she could kind of see him, and he was

179
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: out of his mind. You come in here. The rest

180
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: of it was I'm going to pee on your face.

181
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: Do what you want with me. I don't give a bleep.

182
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: That's what he yelled at a guard. That's what she says.

183
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: So this is a crazy person now claiming he's innocent.

184
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like the behavior Finnish. He also yelled

185
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: out f my enemies and foes, which is a line

186
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: from a little Wayne Song Rap Song. What did you

187
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: make of that report which has never been confirmed that

188
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: One of the first things he said after being arrested

189
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: is did you arrest anybody else yet? Did you see

190
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: that story? Yes? I did. I thought he's trying to

191
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: throw the cops off as two Asopolis. He's being a criminologist, yeah,

192
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: head dance degree, he's probably. I think he's researched how

193
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: people can get away with crimes. What kind of confusion

194
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: can you create in the courtroom or an investigation to

195
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: delay and throw authorities off, investigators off. So I think

196
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: that was that was just a tactic he used. You

197
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: know it said he was taught at one of the

198
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: schools by a professor who knew the bt K killer.

199
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: If you remember that guy some years ago Kansas. Yeah,

200
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: and there was a whole book on him that I read.

201
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: Was a mailman or something or yeah, he was some

202
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: had some benign job in town. And he also was

203
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: one of those good guys in town who joined all

204
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: the family. Yeah, you know, one of those guys who

205
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: you know joined the Lions Club or the Kaanas club

206
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: and was involved in the parades and everything. What I remember,

207
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, Big at church, you know, a volunteer guy type.

208
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: I think what we have here is an in cell

209
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: combined with a student in criminology for PhD that got

210
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: fascinated with murder, like you said, and thought, you know,

211
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't like these people. I've stalked them for a while.

212
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can kill them and no

213
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: one will ever catch me. He was strung out on

214
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: heroin for a while in high school. Yeah, apparently early

215
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: years he was really fat, and then one year he disappeared.

216
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: One summer he disappeared, came back and he was rail thin.

217
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was the drugs or something else,

218
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: but he came back and he went from being a

219
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: fat kid who got bullied a lot to a skinny

220
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: kid who tried to bully others. Apparently, a student who

221
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: knew him up in Washington State said that his demeanor

222
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: changed after the murders, not that he knew he was

223
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: the murderer, but he would always come in exhausted, emaciated, tired,

224
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: always drinking coffee. And then after the murder story broke,

225
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: next time he saw him, he said, his whole personality

226
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: was bubbly, was outgoing, he was I guess he was

227
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: excited that he killed four people, like really sick. Well,

228
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna have more on this at two oh five.

264
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: we'll be talking to Brian Enton with News Nation for

265
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: the latest. There was a court appearance not too long

266
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: ago for the man who has now been arrested for

267
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: the murder of the four college students. Apparently he's waving extradition.

268
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a complicated process to move one

269
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: person from another state to a place where he's accused

270
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: of murder. But anyway, he's waving it. So I thought

271
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: there were extradition issues between countries. I didn't know there

272
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: was between state states. And I don't know how it

273
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: works either, whether some states have certain requirements versus others,

274
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, he's really surprised to see that,

275
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: but well he's waving it, so yea, his parents showed

276
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: up to support him. Anyway. Brian will join us at

277
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: two oh five from more on this story. We got

278
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: a couple more stories to tell right now. We're going

279
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: to talk about the architects of failure past and present.

280
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: The first is past. It is the ghost of Eric Garcetti.

281
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: And yesterday, yesterday was the last sort of official day

282
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: of the old Congress. Today was the swearing in, and

283
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: there really wasn't anything going on. I say because it

284
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: was a New Year's holiday, but it was the last

285
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: chance for Joe Biden to do this recess appointment thing

286
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: to get Garcetti to be the ambassador to India. That

287
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: did not happen. However, today the announcement was made by

288
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: two White House officials that they will renominate Garcetti for

289
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: the post. These are a few of my favorite things,

290
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: so it is not over. The new composition of the

291
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Senate is fifty one to forty nine in favor of

292
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: the Democrats. So again, you just need a few to

293
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: object to Garcetti's nomination for this thing to tank. But

294
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: unfortunately they decided to continue on with this dud to

295
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: perhaps be the next ambassador to India. Well, you know,

296
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: they have an acting ambassador now, a woman who's they

297
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: installed in November, and she has previous ambassador experience, so

298
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: they have someone capable of doing the job in place,

299
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: and she's been in place now for a couple of months.

300
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: Why don't they just nominate her? I was complicated. Yeah,

301
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. Because if a recess

302
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: appointment is when you appoint somebody while the Senate is

303
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: in recess, but that can only last for a year.

304
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: The one thing is is that the Senate plays a

305
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: trick now because they've been burned by recess appointments in

306
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: the past. And somebody shows up and gabbles the Senate

307
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: into session, and then gabbles them at a session three

308
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: minutes later, and they do this every three days, and

309
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: that stops the clock on recess appointments. Because from what

310
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I've read, and this is a this is bipartisan agreement,

311
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: both Democrats and Republicans really resent presidents trying to work

312
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: around the rules and work around the constitution, like it's

313
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: up to the Senate to approve nominees. And if a

314
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: president is messing around with recess appointments during Christmas break,

315
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: they get pissed off. And so they've come up with

316
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: this maneuver. Well, we're they're in session for five minutes

317
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: and then at a session, and there's a lot of

318
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: democratic anti democratic Garsetti sentiment, at least enough to keep

319
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: him from getting the nomination. It is not unusual for

320
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: nominees of a president to get blocked in the Senate.

321
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: Trump had a whole bunch that we're stuck in the pipeline,

322
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: and it is not just Garcetti. The announcement today is

323
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: a dozens of the nominations will be resubmitted once the

324
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: Senate gets going again, including I forgot about this that

325
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: dud Phil Washington used to be the head of the

326
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: MTA here in Los Angeles County. He's supposed to lead

327
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: the FAA, but that apparently that nomination didn't get through either. Well, yeah,

328
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: because he made a disaster at a metro and he

329
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: was also involved in the Shila Kill scandal, and he's

330
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: got no business. But he's got no business being in

331
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: charge of all the planes lifting off and landing at

332
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: the airports. Look at the train system, be left behind

333
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: these rolling wagons carrying homeless people, Chris crossing the county.

334
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: Why would you want that guy in charge of plane safety.

335
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: So now we got to play this game out for

336
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: who knows how much longer, with the yoga pants still

337
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: in the wind there waiting to be What was unusual

338
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: about his situation is he got past a committee and

339
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: all that was left was the full vote by the

340
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: Senate floor, and then that got stopped because of the

341
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: whole sex harassment complaints against his former top aide. Everybody

342
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 1: was playing their role going through the motions where they

343
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: dutifully asked Garcetti out about the rumors the charges, and

344
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: he assured everyone and denied everything. And then Charles Grassley,

345
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: the Republican from Iowa, said, well, we're doing our own investigation,

346
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: and the Senate is a really weird, quirky place with

347
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: a lot of strange rules. But one senator can put

348
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: a block on a nomination, and Grassally put a block

349
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: and said, you know what, we're doing our own investigation.

350
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: Then he came out with a report that was harsher

351
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: than any other previous investigation. Right, And so the Democrats

352
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 1: have read the report, and I guess some of them

353
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: found it credible. And I said, you know, we can't

354
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: do this because we're always preaching about no sexism, no racism,

355
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: and blah blah bah and you know me too, all

356
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: the yeah, right, it looked like phonies. And plus you

357
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: read it, if you actually read it, it's really gross.

358
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: It's disgusting. Yeah, the US Senator Bob Menendez from New

359
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: Jersey aren't day after him again legally for something he's

360
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 1: the Foreign Relations Committee chair. Wouldn't say if he wanted Garcia,

361
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: he'd be renominated. That's up to the White House. I'm

362
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: not sure there's the votes. Senator Todd Young of Indiana

363
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: said the same thing. It may be time to pick

364
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: a different nominee given all the problems like Garcetti's face

365
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: with this, even though he has extensive knowledge. Too much

366
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: time has passed, Yeah, too much time is a year

367
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: and a half since he was first nominated to be

368
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: the ambassador to India. You would think this must be

369
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: quite a debt that Biden feels he owes Garcetti from

370
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: what campaigning for Garsetti raised a ton of money, you know,

371
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: and give money because Garcetti says so. Garcetti had a

372
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: big fundraising operation, a huge one, not only for Biden,

373
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: in fact, because Garcetti became I think like a chairman

374
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: of Biden's campaign, like an honorary chairman, which is what

375
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: you get when you haul in a lot of money.

376
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: But he also had this this slush fund called the

377
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: Mayor's Fund, and they would browbeat businesses into giving money

378
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: to whatever Garcetti's pet charities. Eric Jacobs is to the

379
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: head of that, Rick Jacobs, and that so all the

380
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: fundraising for Garcetti himself, the Mayor's Fund, and for Biden

381
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: was run by Rick Jacobs. So I guess Biden is

382
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: being really loyal to those two. And in the meantime,

383
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: they put this woman in as the acting ambassador when

384
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: nobody was looking all right well, Architects of failure past

385
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: and present, when we come back. John, how's it going

386
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: with Mayor Bass the Homeless? We'll talk about it, Johnny

387
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: Ken Cafe, I Am six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

392
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be talking about the Idaho college student

393
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: murders in thirty minutes. Our guest will be Brian Enton

394
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: from News Nation, and just in the last couple of

395
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: hours there was a court appearance for the guy. It's

396
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: all about extradition, which is a formality because he's already

397
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: waved it. But his parents showed up and we'd talked

398
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: to Brian several times from Idaho about the case. He'll

399
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: bring us up to date after the news at two

400
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: oh five. At three oh five, the winner of Google

401
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 1: Pull twenty twenty two will be on the air with us.

402
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: And this person did well. Though apparently nobody went three

403
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: for three this year, our winner did manage to have

404
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: a person, Aaron Carter, who was just thirty four years

405
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: old when he passed away from look like a drug overdose.

406
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: I figured that whoever did that under the point system

407
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: would be the winner, and that person did pick Aaron

408
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: Carter and someone else who just passed away in the

409
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: last week or so. So how's that for a last

410
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: second comeback to win? Google Pull twenty twenty two. You'll

411
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: find out who that winner is when we talked to

412
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: her at three oh five on the John and Ken Show.

413
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: One thing I found funny. It's been raining a lot, right.

414
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: That tends to happen in December January, sometimes not every year.

415
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: The headline ill last week was snow pack up north

416
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: is the highest in a decade, But is it enough?

417
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: And The Times this Afternoon wants you to know that

418
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: this series of atmospheric river storms throughout northern California have

419
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: led to heavy rains. The snowpack is one hundred and

420
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: seventy four percent of average for this time of year.

421
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: But guess what compared to April first, It's still sixty

422
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: four percent below average April first, which is still it's

423
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: still not enough. It's never that is the bottom line.

424
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: It's not enough, So conserve. Yeah, that's right, I mean,

425
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of stupid to have thirty nine

426
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: million people living in this state, and that's why we're

427
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: sort of water We have too many people and we

428
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: have a stupid government that doesn't create water storage. Right,

429
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: imagine of all I mean up in San Francisco. Last

430
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: week there was one day it was the second wettest

431
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: day in one hundred and seventy years of records. It

432
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: was four and three quarter inches of rain. They've had

433
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: to make rescues. Yeah, flooding is unbelievable. And so if

434
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: you're getting kind of rain, you know how much of

435
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: that runs off into the ocean into the San Francisco

436
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: Bay Too much? Yeah, too much. And they should have

437
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: many more reservoirs, many more water storage infrastructure areas, and

438
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: they don't have it, and then they could lose short water.

439
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: That's the way California works. You have big rainy winters

440
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: and then you have long periods of droughts. So during

441
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: the big rainy winters, you have to collect as much

442
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: as possible. The weather is concentrating itself, so you're going

443
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: to get these periods of big storms followed by periods

444
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: of no storms. So yeah, you got to grab all

445
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: the water you can from the big storm periods and

446
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: we're in one right now. It's an atmospheric river. And

447
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: god sakes, they haven't opened a state reservoir, a new

448
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: one in over forty years, since nineteen seventy nine. I mean,

449
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: that's insane. And on the books seven billion dollars that

450
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: we agreed to borrow in twenty fourteen to build new reservoirs,

451
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: they've built nothing, They've started, did nothing eight years. The

452
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: money is sitting out there all right now. Another story,

453
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: we followed a lot and Don Cobelt lives in Los Angeles.

454
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: How's it looking with the homeless? Because Mayor Karen Bass

455
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: has kicked off inside safe This is about getting the

456
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: people out of the encampments and I don't know, into

457
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: some type of shelter. Hotels and motels seemed to be

458
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 1: the big nominees. Have you seen a significant difference now

459
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: we've had Karen Bass's mayor for over three weeks. Well,

460
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: it rained so much I hardly left the house during

461
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: the vacation. Was that right there? But no, I've seen

462
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: actually driving around, I've seen enormous numbers of homeless living

463
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: under the overpasses. I think a lot of them scattered

464
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: to get out of the rain, and there were some

465
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: homeless overpasses on my side of towns like holy Moley.

466
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the one day, one day we drove

467
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: down in Manhattan Beach. Manhattan Beach didn't have one single

468
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: body in the streets. Nothing, And I intentionally looked around.

469
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: I said, look, I was walking with my wife and said, look,

470
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: they don't have anything, do they Nothing on the beach,

471
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: nothing on the strand there the walkway, nothing in the

472
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, in the parks. Nothing. One story that popped

473
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: up is that La County is sending psychiatrists to the streets,

474
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: see John, not just outreach workers, but real licensed psychiatrists

475
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: to sit down with the homeless people and talk about

476
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: their problems. It's called street psychiatry. Well, it's small but

477
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: emerging specialty in the field of mental health. What's that

478
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: going to do? Well, You're get a diagnosis and then

479
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: what I don't know right, diagnosis is a severe meth addiction.

480
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: It says here they're trying to build relationships with them

481
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: to get them more willing to accept medication. We've heard

482
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: this crap for a decade, the same stuff over and

483
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: over again. Doesn't work, doesn't work all good intentions, see,

484
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: because that's what progressives loved. We have good intentions. Your

485
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: good intentions stuck doesn't work. All you're counseling, all your outreach,

486
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: all your this and that. Yeah, you end up making

487
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I mean it is a good

488
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: feel to get into. I guess homeless psychiatry because there's

489
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: just gobs and gobs, billions and billions of dollars flowing

490
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: through the system. It's like, yeah, go go s down

491
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: on the street and talk to a crazy person. I

492
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: don't know how joyous that is to do for a living,

493
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: but sure, I guess there will be money. It's not joyous,

494
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be it's pretty grim. You'll burn out in

495
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: probably a year, and you just take the money and

496
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: run now. As for the motel and the hotel idea,

497
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: California Globe ran a pretty interesting story over our vacation.

498
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: Charles Chung is a motel owner in Los Angeles who

499
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: told the Globe they keep trying to push the idea

500
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: of leasing out rooms to the homeless, but they're not

501
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: listening to us. With Project room Key, there were so

502
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: many damaged rooms. My brother's hotel in San Jose had

503
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: many rooms torn apart by homeless people being housed there

504
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: with no compensation, and then LA tried to force that

505
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: on us earlier this year. But are they gonna pay

506
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: for damaged rooms? Can we kick them out when we

507
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: need to? Is the city liable for what they do?

508
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: We always get the run around, which I think is

509
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: a great response to this because everyone says, oh, yeah,

510
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: we got all these hotels and motels and some of

511
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: the runs are used. Let's put the homeless in there, Jo,

512
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Let's where this story is. This story doesn't lead the

513
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: top of the El Segundo Times, does it when they

514
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: were doing the raw raw for Karen Bass and the

515
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: news start for homelessness. No, this is buried in California

516
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: Globe dot com, which I imagine not a whole lot

517
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: of people read, but they're California good source for us

518
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: because they print the truth, and the truth if you

519
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: talk to the motel owners is these these are all

520
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: the same kind of programs they come up with, you know,

521
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: catchy names like Project Room in Sight Safe. It's the

522
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: same thing. You go when you bully motel owners to

523
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: take in homeless people, and then the city tax money

524
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: is used to pay for the shelter except and they'll

525
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: try that out in a limited way. But what's the

526
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: key line here? There were so many damaged rooms, and

527
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: we don't get compensate, he said, they need to sign

528
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: a contract. Well, they'll pay us if they damage the place,

529
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: but they're not doing that. Yeah, he goes on to say,

530
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: with this insight safe program, they're trying it again. But enough,

531
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, stop trying to push these programs on us

532
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: until we get to have some limits. We're okay with

533
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: the idea with some limits, like having the homeless people

534
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: come in being vouched for so they don't destroy the rooms,

535
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: or like a city or the city signing a contract

536
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: that won't pay for all the damages, or they'll pay

537
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: the usual daily charge for the room. If they want

538
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: to do this, don't hang us out to dry. And

539
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: another motel owner said, well, a lot of them have

540
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: mental issues, or they smoke, or they use drugs. That's

541
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot to take in. A lot can go wrong.

542
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: We're we're not. We can't accommodate that. And then some

543
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: of them want special services from us. We don't do that.

544
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: So there's probably nobody comes on scene to deal with

545
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: these people. And the motel owners are like being constantly

546
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: asked stuff or cleaning up after them. Yeah, the motel

547
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: owners are supposed to have a street psychiatrist on hand

548
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: to try to get these crazy people to take their medications.

549
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: Motel owner, you're just You're just you run a cleaning crew, basically, well, kid,

550
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: you not. There was a story last week. I'm not

551
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: sure if it was an opinion piece because I didn't

552
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: read all of it, but the headline was, Karen Bass

553
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: can solve homelessness? Will she be California's next governor? We're

554
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: already there, We're already moving on to her next office.

555
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: She's gonna solve homelessness, right, so if she'll be ready

556
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: to be California's next governor, the SAME's done warmed over

557
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: failed Garcetti ideas. All I have seen now, right, another

558
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: two weeks have gone by. All I've seen is the

559
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: Garcetti agenda that failed for nine and a half years.

560
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: So let's let's do a year ten now, all right?

570
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: what a background he has. Some that fits the profile,

571
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: some that does not. We'll talk about all this at

572
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: two oh five. And another thousand dollars is up for

573
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: grabs the cash refill from KFI what we're calling it.

574
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: You just have to listen for the keyword around two

575
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: twenty for a chance to win that money. Well, right now,

576
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: we want to spend a few minutes on helping somebody

577
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: out that we knew pretty well over the years here

578
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: at KFI. One of our technical engineers. Yeah, if you've

579
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: been listening to KFI a long time since we started here,

580
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: you may remember a guy named Tony Dinkle. You probably

581
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: never heard him. He was behind the scenes. He was

582
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: one of the best engineers that we ever worked with,

583
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: and when we did shows at that time on the

584
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: road to cover news stories, he would rig up a

585
00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: system so we could be amazing from anywhere. I remember

586
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: one time I think we were covering either Gary Condit

587
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: or Scott Peterson, and he created a studio inside a

588
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: hotel room then strung out all these wires across the

589
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: parking lot so we could get out of the conde. Yeah, yeah,

590
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: that was Condit, and they're on the street for Scott

591
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: Peter were on the street, and then we could we

592
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: did that too, but we could. We could roam with

593
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: our microphones up and down the street. And this was

594
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: years ago. We're a little more difficult technically to do

595
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: some of these things, but he would always say I'll

596
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: figure it out, and he did. He did things his

597
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: own way, and I was really upset when he left

598
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: the company about ten years ago, and eventually he ended

599
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: up working in Las Vegas. But he was a great guy,

600
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: great to work with and just did ingenious things that

601
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: simply no other engineer was able to do before since.

602
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: And he wanted to do it too. You know, sometimes

603
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: you get guys like, oh, I don't know, No, he

604
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: wasn't that guy. You told him something impossible and he

605
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: got excited and he did it. Unfortunately, he's he's really sick,

606
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: and there's a go fund me page up. It's entire

607

Speaker 1: idled Tony Dinkel d I n k e k e L.

608
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: Excuse me, d I n k e L, And it's

609
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: the go to guy of KFI and he a friend

610
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: of his, a woman named Sandy, is trying to raise money.

611
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: You could read the piece online and you could see

612
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: what his medical condition and bills are. He is in

613
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: line to get a liver transplant, possibly in Portland, Oregon.

614
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: So in the meantime we want to help raise money

615
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: for him. So if you go to GoFundMe dot com

616
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: Tony Dinkel, the go to guy of KFI, type that

617
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: in and donate. I know you don't know him, but

618
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: if you've been listening long enough, probably some of your

619
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 1: favorite shows and our favorite moments were made possible because

620
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: of him. And he never got enough credit and never

621
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: got enough attention. I don't think he particularly wanted it.

622
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: He was just he was, you know, very very proud

623
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: to pull off the technical miracle, and believe me, he did.

624
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: I still don't understand how he did some of those things.

625
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: And he's a really good guy. So Tony Dinkel d

626
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: I n K e L the go to guy if KFI.

627
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: If you could donate even just a few bucks to

628
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: help out his medical bills and hopefully he'll get the

629
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: new liver and hopefully that'll go all go. Well yeah, yeah,

630
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: it says here the funds will go for his needs,

631
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: help pay his medical costs, his Medicare premiums, his blood

632
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: thinners that are costing him. So if you could help,

633
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: it's very easy to find gofund me dot com, which

634
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: is well known i'm sure by all of you, and

635
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: then you put in under individuals for the search. Tony

636
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: Dinkel d I N K E. L. It's a very

637
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: unique last name, so you're going to see him right away,

638
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: the go to guy from KFI and if you can

639
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: donate anything. I mean, they've already surpassed the goal, but

640
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: clearly you know they should raise the goal because this

641
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: guy knew a lot of people in the radio business

642
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: all the years that he did the magic that he did,

643
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: and certainly they'll all be trying to help out. But

644
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: we think our listeners could really add to this. If

645
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: you've enjoyed the shows that we did when Tony was

646
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: our chief engineer years ago to put together the broadcasts,

647
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: then we would any amount you can give it all

648
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: to Tony Dinkel to help him out all right. When

649
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: we return. Of course, it was a big story for

650
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: us since it happened on November thirteenth, and that was

651
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: the murder of the four college students in Moscow, Idaho,

652
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: University of Idaho students, And while we were on our

653
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: vacation break there over the holidays, they did finally arrest

654
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: the guy, which convinced me John that maybe they weren't

655
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: so efficient incompetent. They just had to go a long

656
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: road to track this guy through DNA ancestry sites and

657
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: to track that car and to narrow down the search,

658
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: and they arrested him. His name is Brian Coburger. He

659
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: made a court appearance today in Pennsylvania, probably pretty brief

660
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: because it's only about extraditing him to Idaho, where we're

661
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna learn a lot more about the case. Brian Enton

662
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: from News Nation, who was posted up in Idaho from

663
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,239
