After four o'clock we are going to 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: become a podcast, same show Podcast Forum Johnny Ken on 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: demand on the iHeart app. So you know a lot 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: of people listen maybe twenty thirty minutes on their commute 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: and wonder what else is going on. Now after four 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: o'clock you can hear the podcast and hear what's going 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: on and not miss anything anymore. Ken is away today, 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: so it's just me and Vegan girl in there. Coming 12 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: up next hour, we're going to play you at Oldie. 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: Mark Garragos is coming on with us. Mark Garragos is 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: the latest Menendez brother's lawyer. The men and his brothers, Yes, 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: the brothers who killed their mother and father back in 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: the late eighties, had the trial in the nineties, went 17 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: through two trials, and now claim they have new evidence 18 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: proving that their excuse is justified. Remember, it's not in 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: question that they killed their parents. The question is where 20 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: they somehow justified Because the dad of the two brothers, Jose, 21 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: was sexually abusing them and the uh there there's a 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: new letter and a claim made by a former former 23 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: member of a teenage band from the eighties. The band 24 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: was called Minudo, and this band member is Roy Roussello 25 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: and Jose Jose Menendez worked in the music industry, so 26 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: he had contacts with Minudo, and this Roy Roussella claimed 27 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: that he was sexually abused. So whether this leads to 28 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: a new trial or not is the question hanging in 29 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: the air. And we're going to talk to the returning 30 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: mark Errogus. 31 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: About that now. 32 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: Today I heard a clip of some testimony and it 33 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: hit me, Boy. One of the things we've been trying 34 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: to explain is that this whole green energy, global warming 35 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: climate change thing is based on a lot of hysteria 36 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: and has turned into a religious movement, and all it's 37 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: doing is costing you a lot of money and not 38 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: having any effect on the climate itself, especially because we're 39 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the only state doing a lot of things and most 40 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: other states aren't, and most other countries aren't. And we 41 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: pay more for gasoline than anyone else in part because 42 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: of our climate change taxes. We pay more for electricity 43 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: than anywhere else because of the cost of all the 44 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: wind and solar energy. We pay more for natural gas 45 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: than anywhere else, and the list goes on and on. 46 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: All those high energy prices, high transportation prices, raise the 47 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: price of every good and service in our lives. And 48 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: that's why the cost of living in California is significantly higher. 49 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about. There's no counter argument, all right. 50 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Part of the high cost of living here is traced 51 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: directly to climate change taxes and climate change regulations that 52 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: make life really difficult and expensive for most people who 53 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: aren't paying attention, don't know it, can't make the connection. 54 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: They just keep getting Well, you preach the same line 55 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: to people over and over again, they'll start believing it, 56 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: and nobody asks for any proof of this. There is 57 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: a senator from Louisiana. He's a Republican named John Kennedy, 58 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Yes that's his name, and he had the Deputy Energy Secretary, 59 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: David Turk on the hot seat. David Turk as from 60 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: the Biden administration and the Energy Department obviously would have 61 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: a lot to do with climate policy. Now, Kennedy's got 62 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: a real drawl, real Southern accent. 63 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 2: But don't be fooled. 64 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: Found out today that Senator John Kennedy graduated summa cum 65 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: laude from Vanderbilt University, an elite university, and also graduated 66 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: with a at a graduate degree from Oxford says a 67 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: really smart guy with a real Southern draw What I 68 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: have noticed certain kinds of smart people are really good 69 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: at boiling things down very simply and cutting through the 70 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: crap and the propaganda. Other people try to pretend they're 71 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: smart by adding lots of jargon in big words and 72 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: complicated phrases like newsome right. He pretends to be smart, 73 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: but he's a fake and he's insecure, which is why 74 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: he uses all the jargon to cover. 75 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: Up what he doesn't know. 76 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: But Kennedy is very happy with very short, to the 77 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: point questions. Listen to David Turk it's this easy question, 78 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: and listen to how he doesn't answer it, and then 79 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: ask yourself why doesn't he answer it. 80 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 3: If we spend fifty three dollars to become carbon neutral 81 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: in the United States of America by two thousand and fifty, 82 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: you're the Deputy Secretary of Energy, give me your estimate 83 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 3: of how much that is going to reduce world temperatures. 84 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 4: So, first of all, it's a net cost it's what 85 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 4: benefits we're having from getting our act together and reducing 86 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: all of those climate benefits working game. 87 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,119 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm being right now, Maybe I'm not being clear. 88 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: If we spend fifty three dollars to become carbon neutral 89 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: by two thousand and fifty in the United States of America, 90 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 3: how how much is that going to reduce world temperatures? 91 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: This is a global problem. 92 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: So we need to reduce our emissions, and we need 93 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: to do everything we can. 94 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: How much if we do our art is going to reduce. 95 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 4: So we're thirteen percent of global myths. 96 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: You don't know, do you? You don't know? 97 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: Do you? 98 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 4: You can do the math we need to. 99 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 3: You don't know, do you, mister secretary? 100 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: So we're thirteen percent of. 101 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 4: If you know, why won't you tell me if we 102 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 4: went to zero, that would be thirteen percent. 103 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: You don't know, do you? 104 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: You just want us to spend fifty three dollars and 105 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 3: you don't have the slightest idea whether it's going to 106 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: reduce world temperatures. Now, I'm all for carbon neutrality, but 107 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: you're the Deputy Secretary of the Department of Energy, and 108 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: you're advocating we spend trillions of dollars to seek carbon neutrality, 109 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: and you can't. And this isn't your money and my money, 110 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 3: it's taxpayer money. And you can't tell me how much 111 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 3: it's going to lower world temperatures there or you. 112 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: Won't tell me, you know, but you won't. 113 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 4: In my heart of hearts, there is no way the 114 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: world gets us act together and climate change unless the 115 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 4: US leads. 116 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: Tell me how much it's You. 117 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: Can't tell me either that or you won't. 118 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: If you don't realize now that this whole thing is 119 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: a racket. I don't know what to tell you. I 120 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: don't know what I could do for you, because we 121 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: could use David Turk's math. They're afraid that in one 122 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: hundred years the climate will be up two and a 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: half degrees centigrade. So that's two and a half degrees. 124 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: So if all of America followed the Biden administration demands, 125 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: what's thirteen percent of two and a half degrees? Three 126 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: tenths of a degree? And that's if everybody in America cooperates, 127 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: except very few states are outside of California, and we're 128 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: about twelve percent of the nation. So what's twelve percent 129 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: of thirteen percent? 130 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: Huh? 131 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: It gets to be a minuscule number. We can't possibly 132 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: have an effect as a state on the climate, and 133 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: the country can't have can only have an extremely tiny 134 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: effect on the climate as an entire nation. It's just impossible. 135 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: And this fiction that well, the United States is going 136 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: to be the leader. The other big nations that really 137 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: matter don't care. I think that's clear. We've been selling 138 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: this for twenty five years. You know one of the 139 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: big climate accords that they made in Parish. We have 140 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: heard of the Paris Climate Accords that was in nineteen 141 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: ninety seven. You have to be what about thirty five 142 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: years old and paying close attention to the news to 143 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: even remember that nineteen ninety seven. Nobody's reached any of 144 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: the goals set out in nineteen ninety seven. It never happened. 145 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: Nobody's even seriously tried. It's not going to happen. China, India, 146 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: zero interest. European nations are going in reverse ever since 147 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Germany is now going full 148 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:52,479 Speaker 1: bore on burning fossil fuels again. So it's total nonsense. 149 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: And here in California, it's practically sick how they're beating 150 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: on the poor in middle class with all their excessive 151 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: fees and taxes. But they preach this religion. They act 152 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: to sterical wave their arms in the air. I have 153 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: an example just this week from another one of these 154 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: absurd La Times editorials. The time the headline includes the 155 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: phrase climate tragedy. Explain that in a second. But this 156 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: is how you control people's minds and emotions and convince 157 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: them of something that's really become religious fanaticism. You use hyperbolic, 158 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: extreme language and it has an emotional. 159 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: Impact on people. 160 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: I'll talk about this this La Times thing coming up, 161 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: Johnny KNTKFI. 162 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 163 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 164 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: All right, we continue. 165 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: We played in the last segment in exchange between a 166 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: Republican Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana and the Deputy Energy 167 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: Secretary David Turk from the Biden administration. And Kennedy had 168 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: a simple question for Turk. You're asking us to spend 169 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: fifty trillion dollars, and he says, if we spend fifty 170 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: trillion dollars to become a carbon neutral country by twenty fifteen, 171 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: how much of that is going to reduce world temperatures, 172 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: and Turk started fumbling around and filibustering, and Kennedy just 173 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: kept going back to it, No, really, how much how 174 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: much cool is the atmosphere going to be if we 175 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: spent fifty trillion dollars. 176 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: He didn't even go into how. 177 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: It's going to uppend everybody's life, how the price of 178 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: energy is going to go berserk. He's just saying, what 179 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: do we get if we spend the money to do 180 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: all these massive changes to our way of life? What 181 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: do we get? 182 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 2: Turk either could not say or would not say. 183 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: The only hint he gave is that we're thirteen percent 184 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: of the world's emissions. That means eighty seven percent of 185 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: the emissions are not from US, thirteen percent of the 186 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: world's mision. 187 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: Well, then the rest of the world's not doing this. 188 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: So some tiny fractional, minuscule impossible to see reduction in 189 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: greenhouse gases is going to prove some tiny, minuscule, fractional 190 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: impossible to see temperature drop. What's the temperature drop a 191 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: tenth of a degree? Fifteen fifteen hundredths of a degree? 192 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean, what what's the temperature drop a thousandth of 193 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: a degree? You know, as if they could predict the 194 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: temperature one hundred years from now. You see how good 195 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: they've been with predictions during this dry Lanninia winter. But 196 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: as they told you, Kennedy was really smart. He just 197 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: hit him with a simple fact. Because this is the 198 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: root of the whole issue. If we spend X dollars 199 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: fifty trillion, we will get a temperature reduction. Of why 200 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: what is the number of the temperature reduction? Turk wouldn't say, 201 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: does it know? Or it's so extremely tiny that it's 202 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: embarrassing to say out loud. So when you don't have 203 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: a factual answer that doesn't make you look like a fool, 204 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: what do you turn to? Well, let's go to the 205 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: El Segundo Times because they're always good for hysteria and 206 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: didn't disappoint this week. Here's the editorial Replacing the Chevy 207 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: Bolt with electric SUVs would be a climate tragedy. 208 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: Climate tragedy. It goes through the story. 209 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: Now, the Chevy Bolt is at a small hatchback car. 210 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: It really is a small car. Boy, you don't want 211 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: to get hit by an suv in this thing. Okay, 212 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: this is like a tin can with tires. And they 213 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: said this was affordable a range of two hundred and 214 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: thirty eight miles on a single charge, and the Bolt 215 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: has grown in popularity. But last week the GM chief 216 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: executive said the company's going to end production at the 217 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: end of the year. They are going to close down 218 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: their Michigan plant for a time and reconfigure it to 219 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: make large battery powered pickup trucks. And they say this 220 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: is a step backward in the flight against against climate change. 221 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: Now they are going to stop making one kind of 222 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle to make another kind of an electric vehicle. 223 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: And we're told this is a climate tragedy, a step 224 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: backward in the fight against climate change. Discontinuing a small, 225 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: lower cost EV like the Bault to make room for 226 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: a bigger, more expensive model is going to make it 227 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: harder for Americans to afford. 228 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: To go electric. This is the wrong direction. 229 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: The US needs to replace polluting gas and diesel powered cars. Well, 230 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: people don't want to drive tiny cars. SUVs and similar 231 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: sized vehicles minivans are the most popular cars. 232 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: Pickup trucks. 233 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,359 Speaker 1: Put them all, All those big cars in one category 234 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: by far not only the most popular, but they get 235 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: the biggest profit margins. Nobody wants to drive a little 236 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: beep beep car that can be easily crushed in an accident. 237 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: That's the thing they don't tell you. Little tiny cars 238 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: when they're in an accident, they lose, they get flattened. 239 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: They quote Dan Becker directs the Center for Biological Diversities, 240 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: Safe Climate Transport Campaign. WHOA, that's an important title. The 241 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: industry has decided, if they're going to have to make EV's, 242 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: they might as well make the same gigantic behemoths they've 243 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: been making before. You see, now it's not enough to 244 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: be forced and shamed into making evs. Now you have 245 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: to make the right size evs. So now you're gonna 246 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: find out in case you go for it and buy 247 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle, an suv. Now that's not enough. No, no, no, 248 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: that's not what we meant. You have to drive a 249 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: little tiny electrical vehicle, you know, the kind of car 250 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: that seats maybe three adults at a small puppy maybe. 251 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: And they write what can be done to push back 252 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: against ballooning sizes and price tags? And they want the 253 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: environmental agencies to retool to try to force people into 254 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: small or more efficient and affordable models. And they do 255 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: admit that smaller lighter vehicles are more dangerous, so that 256 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: they should be making smaller, lighter, lighter vehicles that are 257 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: less dangerous. But the bottom line here is they have 258 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: to create hysteria. They have to use climate tragedy, right, 259 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: climate tragedy, even though you have a major official on 260 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: the Biden administration admitting that either admitting or not wanting 261 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: to talk about the tiny, tiny effect our climate laws 262 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: would have, even if fully implemented, even if everybody went 263 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: along with them in the fifty stage, which is not 264 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: going to happen, it would be extremely tiny, not good enough. Oh, 265 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: there's more tragedy coming, more hysteria, more scary, scary headlines 266 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: or shame or finger wagging. Never ends, It never ends, 267 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: and it's just gonna cost you a lot of money. 268 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: And I was just talking to a friend the other day, 269 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: was talking about difficulty is to find a charger that works. 270 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: It really is difficult to find a charger that works consistently. 271 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: So they didn't even put a system together for this transition. 272 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: All right, More coming up on the Johnny Kenshaw. 273 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and ken on demand from KFI 274 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 275 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna have Mark Arago sign at two o'clock and 276 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: he's going to talk about the Menantes brothers. There's new clients. 277 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: They want a new trial. They say there's new evidence 278 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: that strengthens their claim that they killed because the dad 279 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: molested them. Again, as far as I understand it, they 280 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: it's not that they didn't do the murdering, it's that 281 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: they thought they had a good reason for it. They 282 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: were pushed into it the molestations. So what's this new 283 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: evidence specifically, we'll get into it, Mark Erragos. We're on 284 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: the air from one until four on the radio that 285 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: after four o'clock we magically become a podcast and same 286 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: show and you can hear us on the iHeart app 287 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: Johnny Ken on demand, so you don't have to miss 288 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: a minute anymore. Listen to which you can, and then 289 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: later on listen to the rest. All right, A big 290 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: disappointment for all the mask holes in our community, as 291 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: well as Barbara Ferrer. As you know, the end of 292 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: the public health emergency in the United States for this 293 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: COVID is May eleventh, and the CDC said they're going 294 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: to stop tracking community levels of COVID and they're going 295 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: to stop tracking the percentage of tests to come back positive. 296 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: So it's come to an end. Now they'll have another 297 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: way of tracking some statistics using another slower method that 298 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: will take weeks to get the get the results on. 299 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: But hospitals no longer have to report the same amount 300 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: of data, the number of cases, the race, sex age 301 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: of patients. That demand is going to lessen. They'll track 302 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: overall COVID hospitalizations and intensive care, but they're just not 303 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: going to go into the detail that they used to, 304 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: and they're gonna keep They're going to keep tracking our 305 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: shore water to see if any of us are pooping 306 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: out COVID viruses and then they can get an idea 307 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: how prevalent the virus is in any particular area. They 308 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: just don't have and the states don't have, the hospitals 309 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: don't have the personnel to be constantly collecting and reporting 310 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: COVID data. It's just it's just to what payoff knowing 311 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: the exact numbers in a very short time does Is 312 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: it really valuable? At the same time, doctor Rachel Wolenski, 313 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: the head of the CDC, is quitting her job because 314 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: the pandemic is over. You know this is interesting. Now 315 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: the federal government has officially declared it over. Let's a 316 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: good game to play as you're walking around, is how 317 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: many people are still wearing masks? And how many days 318 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: more will you see people wearing masks? Or even the 319 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: government that gave up the ghost on this thing. Rochelle 320 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: Lensky probably her most famous moment. You know, we'd like 321 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: to do a retrospective, but there was really only one 322 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: moment that stood out.

Do we have so much to 327 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 6: look forward to, so much promise and potential of where 328 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 6: we are, and so much reason for hope, But right 329 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 6: now I'm scared.

I know that feeling of nausea when 338 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 6: you read the crisis standards of care and you wonder 339 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 6: whether there are going to be enough ventilators to go around, 340 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 6: and who's going to make that choice. And I know 341 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 6: what it's like to pull up to your hospital every 342 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 6: day and see the extra morgue sitting outside. I didn't 343 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 6: know at the time when it would stop. We didn't 344 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 6: have the science to tell us. We were just scared. 345 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 6: We have come such a long way three historic scientific 346 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 6: brick through vaccines, and we are rolling them out so 347 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 6: very fast. 348 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: So I'm speaking today. 349 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 6: Not necessarily as your CDC director, and not only is 350 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 6: your CDC director, but as a wife, as a mother, 351 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 6: as a daughter, to ask you to just please hold. 352 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 2: On a little while longer, hold on to what yes 353 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: impending do. 354 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: And this is one of the sins that Rachel Rochelle 355 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: Lenski and the rest of them committed constantly keeping people terrified, 356 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: in a state of hysteria, impending do, impending doom. It 357 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: know was the victim of the impending doom millions of 358 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: school children. He didn't go to school for a year 359 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: and a half. That's a lot of impending doom right there. 360 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: They weren't taught, and now they have cognitive deficits that 361 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: persist to this day, not to mention the emotional problems 362 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: from being isolated for so long. 363 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: And then and then. 364 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: There was the tremendous economic damage to just in California alone, 365 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of businesses. And the reason they kept 366 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: local officials, local dictators, kept closing things was because of 367 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: these hysterical statements. It's like, well, if the head of 368 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: the CDC is warning of its impending doom, then we're. 369 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 2: All gonna die. Everybody go in the house, Everybody hide 370 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,959 Speaker 2: in the bed, pending doom. There was no impending doom. 371 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: What was the impending doom if you had three world 372 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: class vaccines, which at that point were already being injected 373 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: into people, what's with the impending doom? And who was doomed? 374 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: It's the same category as we always knew. They knew 375 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: within a few weeks what the categories are. The very 376 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: old and the people who had a lot of health 377 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: problems already, especially the obese, diabetes suffering type of patience. 378 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: We weren't all at risk, you know. They created an 379 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: hysteria in the nineteen eighties over AIDS, claiming everybody was 380 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: at risk of AIDS. No, everybody wasn't with certain categories, 381 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: primarily gay men and drug abusers and people who got transfusions. 382 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: Those are the categories. But they start saying, oh, it's everybody. 383 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: The same thing with this, Oh it's everybody. No it's not. 384 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: It's not every anybody can get it. But if you're 385 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: actually gonna die, you have to be really old or 386 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: really bad health, and most of us aren't really old, 387 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: and most of us aren't really bad health, so there 388 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: was no need. 389 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 2: To have a sense of impending doom. They get this 390 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 2: ties back to the climate. 391 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: Change hysteria that I went through in the first half hour, 392 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,239 Speaker 1: because you have government officials who can gain power and 393 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: importance by screaming hysterical things. You know, the climate's gonna 394 00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: boil over. We're all gonna die from I don't know, 395 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: warm air, from catching a virus. 396 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 2: We're all gonna and the newsmane. 397 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: Amplifies it because it preys on human nature. All of 398 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: us have a human nature. When we hear something scary, 399 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: we get excited. We want to know more, so we 400 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: lean into the screen. We click more links which change channels, 401 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: we turn the volume louder, we start reading the articles, 402 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: we start talking about it, posting about it. It's a 403 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: Pavlovian effect in our bodies. If you introduce something scary, 404 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: people are going to react, and that's scared. And there's 405 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: a lot of money in catering to people who are 406 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: easily scared. And much of the country has been easily 407 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: scared for several years now. And who wants to. 408 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: Give that up? You know, you say something scary, you 409 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: get on. 410 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: Television and you give lectures, and people read your writings 411 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: and you can become a celebrity by scaring people. And 412 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: then the news mediayeah, well there's billions of dollars. 413 00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 2: At stake here. 414 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: So it's just a circuit, this loop that goes round 415 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: and round trying to create hysteria. 416 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 2: But bad week, isn't it? Bad week? 417 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 5: Now? 418 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: CDC says pandemic's over. Of course, it's been over for 419 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: a long long time. And really for most of us 420 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: there really wasn't a danger. Once we had the vaccines, 421 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: we were really in the clear. Ending do more coming up, 422 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: Johnny Ken KFI. 423 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 424 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 425 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: Coming up after two o'clock, Mark Arraghos coming back on 426 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: the show. 427 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: It's Eric Lylemanendez. Those are his clients.

Boy, you'd have to 430 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: be how old do you have to be to remember 431 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: this one? In your forties? Well, well, a long time ago. 432 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: They were teenagers. Now they're in their fifties. It's never 433 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: been a question that they killed the parents. They never 434 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: denied it. They said they were getting sexually assaulted by 435 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: the father and they were fared for their lives, and 436 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: so that's why they went and murdered. Now, there's a 437 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,239 Speaker 1: lot of complicated details. 438 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 2: And that's why eventually they were convicted. 439 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: But now they say they've got some evidence that makes 440 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: it clear that their dad, Jose Menendez, was up to 441 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: no good, and Mark Arragos is going to explain it 442 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: to us. Coming up after two o'clock here on KFI. 443 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: You may have heard about the case in the town 444 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: of Davis, home of UC Davis, which is a big 445 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: school in the UC system, especially if you're into agricultural 446 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: sciences and veterinary medicine. Things of that nature. And recently 447 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: it's very quiet town Davis, and they had three stabbings 448 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: that resulted in two men being murdered, one woman in 449 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: critical condition. And yesterday the police announced that Carlos Dominguez, 450 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: twenty one year old, who was until very recently a 451 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: student at UC Davis Well, he was arrested, took cats 452 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: a homicide, one count of attempted murder. And the new 453 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: bit of news is that his father talked to the 454 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Times. I'll read this verbatim. Reached by phone, 455 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: the father said the family was in shock after learning 456 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: from a Los Angeles Times reporter that his son had 457 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: been arrested. So I guess when this reporter called the 458 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: Domingus home after the son was named the murderer, the 459 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: reaction on the other end was what father didn't want 460 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: his name used to try to protect their privacy. They'd 461 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: been trying to reach Dominga's for the last three days 462 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: because they'd heard about the stabbings and they were worried 463 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: about his safety. I guess they claimed to have no 464 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: idea that he was the perpetrator. Anyway, Diminga's had not 465 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: responded to the family, so they thought he was busy 466 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: with his studies, and then in a second phone call, 467 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: the father told The Times that investigators had arrived at 468 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: the family's home later Thursday. He said his son had 469 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: excelled in high school classes. He went to Castlemone High 470 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: School in Oakland, graduated in twenty twenty, and was beloved 471 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: by his teachers there and had no history of trouble. 472 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: The dad said, this is inexplicable to me, said he 473 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: didn't know that his son had left UC Davis as 474 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: a student. He was so excited to go to Davis. 475 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: I don't understand how this could happen. Now, they found 476 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: a blog that he had written on. It was involving 477 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: students on healthcare internships that Dominga's had participated in this 478 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: program during high school, and there he wrote about his 479 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: dreams of becoming a doctor to help people like his grandmother. 480 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: I got into healthcare to help my grandmother. She has 481 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: Type two diabetes. It makes me happy and it makes 482 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: her happy, and I love seeing her smile. Played football, 483 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: ran track and said another blog post that he was 484 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: devoted to his two younger siblings. Well, if this is 485 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: all true, not just a lot of eyewash, what the 486 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: hell happened. 487 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: Maybe some drugs.
