00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: me over the weekend saying that her husband has COVID

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: first time after two and almost two and a half years,

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: so he's in quarantine. He's sleeping in another bedroom. As

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: soon as he tested, I said, goodbye, no kidding, and

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: he said he has symptoms, right, just really bad cold symptoms.

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 1: I mean he feels but it's a bad summer cold,

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: that's what it is for him. Yeah, what where did

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: he go? Do you think? Are you going to tell

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: you what my father is? Yes? Yes, So he went

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: to Vegas for Father's Day. He wore a mask on

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: the plane going to Vegas, but did not, for some

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: reason I don't know, did not wear a mask coming home.

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: And so the days it kind of adds up my

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: suspicion as he got it coming home on the plane,

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: he admitted to you, he warred, he didn't wear a

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: mask coming home. Well, I said to him, hey, did

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: you wear a mask on the plane? And he said, why,

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: what are one going there? I said, oh, well what

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: about coming home? Nope? Okay, yeah, my public service announcement

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: to everybody, whether you believe in masks or not, my

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: feeling wear a mask on a plane. But what about

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: the possibility that just all the things he did in Vegas,

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: don't you do anything? He ken he was there for

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: one day, he didn't go to any casinos. He literally

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: got there late in the afternoon, had dinner with his son, slept,

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: slept at his son's apartment. They went out for lunch

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: or breakfast the next day, and he came home. That's it.

45
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: It was not this big, exciting, oh going to Vegas thing. Okay,

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: So it wasn't around in casinos or shows or mingling

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: with a whole lot of people in dangerous places. No, no, no,

48
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: all right, So did you test yourself? Now, I'm not nervous.

49
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: I tested myself twice. I don't have any symptoms. I mean,

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: he has cold symptoms. It's obvious he's sick. I'm my

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: perky self, so hopefully it will stay that way and

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: if I start feeling sick then I won't come in. Yeah.

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: But so you haven't tested yourself at all? No? I did.

54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: I did test. I did. I'm out of tests. I

55
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: have to go get more. But yeah, yes, I had

56
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: to stick up my nose yet again two times, and

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm negative. Yeah. I tested twice last week because I

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: teld you I'd run into my sister yeah up in

59
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Stanford area, and she immediately texted me when I got

60
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: back on Monday, Oh, we're sick. Right, but mine a

61
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: home test came out negative. I don't know how reliable

62
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: they are, but I mean this is kind of a

63
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: nothing in that. I mean, your husband's going to be fine.

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: If this was five years ago, you'd say, oh, yeah,

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: my husband has a cold, so you know, it's kind

66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: of down for the week or something like that. It's

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: like that's where we are for or even more of

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: the cases right now. It's like not really a story,

69
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: but people still get alarmed and excited. COVID finally hit us, right,

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: that was the first time in your house? Yes, well, no,

71
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: my stepson had COVID almost a year ago and he

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: was quarantine as well. And I never got it and

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: my husband never got it. So I'm knocking on this

74
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: fake wood here in this little studio that I won't

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: get it. Are you walking around with masks and house? Well?

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I was at first, but since I had kicked him

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: out into another bedroom, and if he does come out,

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: which is very rare, he's wearing gloves in a mask.

79
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: He still has to get food and yeah, I've been

80
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: bringing it, yeah, but he has we have another room

81
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: where there's a bathroom, so I know I've already scrubbed

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: down our bathroom. He is not touching or using it.

83
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm being as careful as I can. I mean, look,

84
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: if I get it. At this point, I get it.

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: I'm already vaccinated, I'm already boosted. I watch I die.

86
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: I get it and I die. Here I am talking

87
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: like this, but I'm assuming I'm gonna be okay. I

88
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: just obviously don't want to give it to anybody else.

89
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: But I'm fine. I'm feeling fine. He wasn't. I mean,

90
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: he started sneezing. I think it was Friday night. I

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: came home and we were having dinner, sneezing, and then

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's sneezing and he kind of

93
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: talking like this. I said, you better test, and he tested,

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: and you know how, you're supposed to wait for ten minutes,

95
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: and you're supposed to see those two lines pop up.

96
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: That's right right away, right away, both lines popped up.

97
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: So you know what. He scooped himself up into the

98
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: other room and that was that. Yeah, he's super positive. Yeah, yes,

99
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: he has a big immediately infectious exactly right. Well, that

100
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: was your excitement. I just um sent you a picture.

101
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: Oh let's see. Oh, I just got your ts, Yeah,

102
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: take a look at that. Tell me what you think

103
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: you see? That thing is within I would say there, well,

104
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: you have to go. Oh, it's a coyote. It's a coyote.

105
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: It's very it's uh, it's kind of hard to tell. First,

106
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: it's a little grainy because I was nervous taking the picture.

107
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: It was early this morning. Yeah, this is my walk,

108
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: my my run on this wood trail. And I was

109
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: all alone in this section. And I looked up ahead

110
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: and I said, oh, that's just like a straight dog

111
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: without an owner. And as I got closer, I said,

112
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: holy crap, that's a coyote. Now that coyote was walking

113
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: in front of me the same direction. So I whipped

114
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: out the phone and took the picture. And then it

115
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: turned around and it started to come in my direction.

116
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: I went running off the path to the sidewalk, running

117
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: in the other direction. I turned around and watched it. Though,

118
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of felt like you. It kind

119
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: of felt bad for it looked confused and lost. He

120
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: kept looking around, like should I be going this way?

121
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: Because it I wonder if it turned around, because it

122
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: did see me. It looked right at it wanted you

123
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: to help him or her, Well, I'm not going to

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: go nearer. Coyote could have babies. No, I know it's

125
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: a good thing you didn't. But did you really run

126
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: or did you just walk fast? I would say I

127
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: walk fast towards the curb, just in case it was

128
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: going to come towards me, But it stayed on the

129
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: path and kept going in the other direction, and I

130
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: just ran off towards the ran walk fast because I'm

131
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: picture running ken and it's funny. Well, I do run.

132
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: I run five miles a day. That's what I was

133
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: running away from the coyote. You know. Looking back, Well,

134
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to take a chance that maybe you

135
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: just saw me as possible food or wanted to see

136
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: what I was up too, because it definitely was walking

137
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: the same direction to me. As I took the picture,

138
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: it suddenly turned around, looked at me, and then slowly

139
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: walked back towards me, and then went the other way

140
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: up the trail. But I told you, if I had

141
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: a gun, you would have shot the coyote. No, Okay,

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the coyote didn't even do anything

143
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: to you. No, But remember last week we had the

144
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: story of this little girl that was attacked at a

145
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: park in Fountain Valley. It was a two year old.

146
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 1: It was one of the first stories I talked about

147
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: last week, and they found it and killed it. So

148
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I thought I'd start your story off with a dead

149
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: animal story. They managed to take a DNA sample from

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: the little girl's clothing and they were able to track

151
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: down the coyote inside the same park where this happened. Wow,

152
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: that's why they were confident that they got the right coyote,

153
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: because they matched it. I guess I feel bad. I do.

154
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the coyote, but not a good

155
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: thing to be attack a little toddler. Yeah. Once an

156
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: animal attacks a person, that means it's usually off the table.

157
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: They are extinguished, like aggressive bears up in the woods.

158
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: They usually try to track them down or I'm afraid

159
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: they've gone a fall. But you have to take care

160
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: of that, all right. So I guess you're not gonna

161
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: be a problem for this story from over the weekend.

162
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: With all these protests have been going on over the

163
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Rowe versus Wade decision, there are a nutty group of

164
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: women who are sending out tweets telling all women to

165
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: go on a sex strike. I mentioned you're not going

166
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: to be a problem with that because you're not. Yes, exactly,

167
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: my husband's in a separate room, so you are right

168
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: on that one. Yeah, but it's nothing to do with

169
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: Rowe versus Wade. You can proudly tell people I am

170
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: also in lying with his extras. Yes, some of the

171
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: tweets are pretty funny. The first one is women's spelled

172
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: w O m X and calling for a national hashtag

173
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: sex strike no sex with men until women's rights are

174
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: codified by law. The next one said, well, there's a

175
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: bunch here, but they're all pretty nasty. Let me see

176
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: if I can find the one that really just, oh, yeah,

177
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: don't bleep your husband's don't bleep your boyfriends, don't bleep.

178
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: That random from that one app no sex with sperm

179
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: donors until we have our rights. This came up before,

180
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: I believe, after Trump one in twenty sixteen. Didn't they

181
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: attempt the same sort of thing. These female activists I

182
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: don't remember not having sex with Remember they cut their hair, right,

183
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: remember that story? Yes, some of them cut their hair,

184
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: and I thought some of them also said no sex

185
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: with men. It's like this is like to hold my

186
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: breath thing we're just gonna stand here and we're gonna

187
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: just openly rebel until we get our way, as you

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: probably know by now, and there is some that says

189
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: the actual number of people demonstrating wasn't that great, but

190
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: there were people in the usual places Los Angeles, Washington,

191
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: d C. New York, Atlanta who took to the streets.

192
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: Up in Portland, it got pretty ugly. It looked like

193
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty all over again, with people just to massing

194
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: in the streets and committing acts of vandalism. LA. We

195
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: had the situation in downtown LA where people have been marching.

196
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: I guess they're still going to be marching today. Each

197
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: day it'll peter around a little smaller and smaller. After

198
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: two thirty, Steve Gregory from KFI News will talk to

199
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: us about what happened in downtown LA. An lap D

200
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: officer got attacked with like a makeshift flamethrower and they've

201
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: charged the demonstrator, who I believe it was a male,

202
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: with attempted murder. Oh, here's another one from Portland. They

203
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: were spray painting on buildings, probably probably a federal building.

204
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: Death to Scotus Great abort the court. Yeah, these are

205
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: real reasonable people. All right, We got more coming up,

206
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: including next you'll have a chance at a thousand dollars.

207
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: There is a keyword. All you have to do is

208
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: enter it on the website. In fact, if you put

209
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: in KFI amix forty dot com, there's a batter that

210
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: drops down with handle's head on. It makes it very

211
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: easy to enter the keyword. But you've got to listen

212
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: and find out what the keyword is. Coming up in

213
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: a few minutes. And they did reach a deal in

214
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Sacramento to give us money because of high gas prices.

215
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: And it went the way of the Democratic legislature, which

216
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: means everybody poor gets it, and a lot of Californians

217
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: don't get it, even if they drive and have to

218
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money on gas, because that's the

219
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: way it is. It's really just like a stimulus payment.

220
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that and more coming up on the

221
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: John and Ken Show on KFI. They're making pretty big

222
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: news this afternoon. We don't really know the extent of

223
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: the whole story yet, but there have been There is

224
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: an Amtrak train that hit a dump truck at a

225
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: public crossing and a place in Missouri about one hundred

226
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: miles northeast of Kansas City, Missouri, and this train, according

227
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: to reports, was loaded two hundred and forty three people

228
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: on board. In fact, one report I'm looking at says

229
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: it was packed. There were tons of people in the

230
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: observation car. Again, this train started in La making its

231
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: way to Chicago. Could be people already had an out

232
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: for July fourth weekend. It didn't like the airfares, so

233
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: they decided to take a slow ride on a train

234
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: halfway across the country. There's reports that in Missouri they're

235
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: already declaring it a large fatality event, but we do

236
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: not have any numbers on that. People are saying that

237
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: there are people that are being taken away in ambulances

238
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: and that they're still trying to get people out of this.

239
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: It was twelve forty two Central time, which would have

240
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: been about ten to forty in the morning here, so

241
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: it's about three and a half hours ago that this happened.

242
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: Southwest Chief train number four collided with the truck that

243
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: was obstructing the public crossing. After it hit the truck,

244
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: it came off the tracks. This is a place called

245
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: men End in Missouri. Eight train cars and two locomotives

246
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: derailed after striking the truck. There were certainly some reports

247
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: of injuries. There was two hundred forty three passengers twelve

248
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,479
Speaker 1: crew members on board at the time of the crash.

249
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: A lot of photos have come out of people sitting

250
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: on top of the train cars. They don't necessarily look hurt,

251
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: but they're trying to help people out through some of

252
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: the hatches because the thing turned sideways on the ground.

253
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: They're trying to get people out of the trains or

254
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: the train cars, and they're just sitting there, I guess,

255
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: waiting for a transport out of there. But we do

256
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: not know exactly the extent of injuries or deaths yet

257
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: from this train derailment in Missouri this afternoon. Right now,

258
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: we turned our attention back to California, where finally it

259
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: was announced and they dumped us again late on Friday,

260
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: that they have reached an agreement. And by they, I'm

261
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: talking about Governor Dippity Doo and the supermajority of Democrats

262
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: in the state legislature. Looking at a picture of him

263
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: from June ninth, this is newsome. He's either like incredibly

264
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: made up or he's head face work. It's kind of

265
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: bizarre looking, but you know he is changing himself for

266
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: the national stage. He's ready in twenty twenty four in

267
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: case said Biden doesn't run, or no in this ego

268
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: bag even if Biden does run. So they did go

269
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: with the Democrat plan. When we talked about this last

270
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: the rift, if you want to call it, that was

271
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: between Newsom who just wanted to give everybody with a

272
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: car money. It's like four hundred dollars. The legislature, of course,

273
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: the supermajority of Democrats instead wanted to make this like

274
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: another stimulus payment. They're now calling it inflation relief package.

275
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: It is no longer gas price relief and they know

276
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: they had to rename it because they're probably giving out

277
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot of checks to people who don't drive much

278
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: and don't huge much gasoline. So it's been driven by

279
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: the high gas prices. But they've renamed it seventeen billion dollars. Allegedly,

280
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: twenty three million Californians will get some kind of payment

281
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: of up to one thousand fifty dollars. It's the old

282
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: direct deposit or debit cards. But it's not going to

283
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: come until late October. Now, what is the reason for that?

284
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: It's June. Why would they need to take another four

285
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: or five months to just give people money. That doesn't

286
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: really make any sense except that the elections are coming

287
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: in November, and Newsom's not in trouble and most of

288
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: the other statewide Democrats are not in trouble. But it's

289
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: possible that maybe they want to protect some of their

290
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: local legislators if they're in any competitive races, and so

291
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: they can brag about sending money to households in late October,

292
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: right before or during the time that people vote. It's

293
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: either three hundred and fifty dollars, two hundred and fifty dollars,

294
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: or two hundred dollars based on your income level. So

295
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: if you're a single filer who makes less than seventy

296
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: five thousand that would be fairly poor in the state

297
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: of California, you get a whole three hundred fifty bucks.

298
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: If you're a joint filer and together you make under

299
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand, you would get seven hundred

300
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: to just be the three fifty each. If you have

301
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: a dependent you get an additional three hundred and fifty,

302
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: So that brings us to the one thousand and fifty.

303
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: So it's not clear to me, although I think I'll

304
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: read it that way, I don't think you're gonna get

305
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna get three fifty per

306
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: child or per dependent. It may only be able to

307
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: get one payment for a dependent. So a married couple

308
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: earning one hundred thousand dollars a year with one child

309
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: would again get one thousand and fifty. They claim that

310
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: eighty two percent of the state's beneficiaries are in this

311
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: income level. Single filers who make between seventy five one

312
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five thousand, the next tier up, just

313
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: get two fifty. Then the joint filers would get twice

314
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: that they made between one fifty and two fifty, they

315
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: get five hundred dollars. And again, if you get a dependent,

316
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: you get an additional two hundred and fifty as twelve

317
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: percent of the population in that category. So if you

318
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: think about it, that first category that I mentioned, eighty

319
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: two percent of the states beneficiaries are in a category

320
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: of making seventy five thousand dollars or less, or if

321
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: they're joint filing couple, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars

322
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: or less. How many times have I said this on

323
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: the show. That shows you how much we lean towards

324
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: the wealthier because they're not a high percentage of the filers,

325
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: but they pay most of the state income dex. They

326
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: ain't get nothing out of this teal And this deal

327
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: made no distinction as to whether or not you drive

328
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: or don't drive, or use public transit, or you walk

329
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: or you take a bicycle, It doesn't matter. It was

330
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: all based on income, which is why it's all about inflation.

331
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: So they will provide local Yeah, this is the part

332
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about. They're going to give some money four

333
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine million dollars to local governments, so

334
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: there'll be no impact on local transportation funding projects or

335
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: what I was looking for. I thought they were going

336
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: to give some money to help out mass transit for

337
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: people that don't drive a car and don't use any gas.

338
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: I thought they were trying to going to try to

339
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: give them some money so they would make up the difference.

340
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: Oh and just for fun, two hundred million dollars in

341
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: additional funding for reproductive healthcare services, just so they can

342
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: keep jumping on top of that Roe v. Wade story

343
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: and not let that go out of the news. Yeah,

344
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: we're at the forefront, all right. When we come back,

345
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: we're talking to Steve Gregory from KFI News. It was

346
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: a weekend to protest around the country, downtown Los Angeles

347
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: being no exception. I wouldn't say it was an overwhelming

348
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: amount of people, but they're noisy, and they took to

349
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: the streets and it got ugly in at least one

350
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: case with charges filed against the protester. More coming up

351
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: right here on the John and Ken Show on KFI.

352
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: Of course, big story this afternoon is this train derailment

353
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: in Missouri. This was a train and Amtrak train that

354
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: was on its way from Los Angeles to Chicago hit

355
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: a dump truck at a public crossing in a place

356
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: called Menden, Missouri. It was a couple of hours ago,

357
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: and eight cars and two locomotives left the track. Reports

358
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: are there, definitely our fatalities. We have no idea yet

359
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: how many. There were two hundred and forty three passengers

360
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,959
Speaker 1: and twelve crew members aboard this Amtrak train which derailed

361
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: today in Missouri. And of course, since the Supreme Court

362
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: announcement came out Friday that Roe v. Wade had been overturned,

363
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: people have taken to the streets, largely in the big

364
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: democratic progressive cities around the country to vent. I don't

365
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: know what they expect to happen vent. I'll tell you

366
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: in a few minutes what would be more constructive if

367
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: they wanted to really do something about this rather than

368
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: just take to the streets and yell. But this of

369
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: course led to some clashes between LAPD and some of

370
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: the demonstrators, although people are saying most were peaceful, there

371
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: were a few things to talk about. Let's bring on

372
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory from k if I News. How you doing, Ken,

373
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: how are you doing? As the question, I'm doing okay,

374
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: Thank you much. Yeah. So, you know, it was abound

375
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: to happen. I think we all knew in the back

376
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: of our heads that whichever way the Supreme Court was

377
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: going to go, that people were going to take to

378
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: the streets, especially if I guess LAPD prepared for this.

379
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah they did. They knew what they knew it was coming.

380
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: But you know it's still they're still having problems and

381
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: it seems to be the same. Well, I mean literally

382
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: put it this way, you had a different type of

383
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: protester this time around, because you did have a lot

384
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: of people that were genuinely concerned and showing their displeasure

385
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: over the decision. But you still have that same nucleus

386
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: of people who are hell bent on causing chaos. It

387
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the event is, who the organizers are,

388
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: what the effort is, what is going on behind the scenes,

389
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: you will always have this group of anarchists who will

390
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: cause problems. And I think that's what the case was

391
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: over the weekend started on Friday. The worst of it

392
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: on Friday night, from what I'm told by LAPD. In fact,

393
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: that's when the first set of fireworks were lit and

394
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: thrown at police officers on the skirmish line. What kind

395
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: of fireworks do you know? There were everything from the

396
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 1: Roman candles and to m eighties. Yeah, you had all

397
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: kinds of different fireworks being lit and thrown at officers.

398
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: And they had shields and they have helmets with uh

399
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: you know, the plastic shields that go over their face

400
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: as well and the ones that they hold in front

401
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: of them, so they were they were pretty well protected overall.

402
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: But the protests continued through the weekend and at least

403
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: four officers were injured, and they don't know whether any

404
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: of the protesters were injured, per se that that number

405
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: has not been provided, and they said that they they

406
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: didn't have any record at any of the protesters injured,

407
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: but they did get four cops that were injured. You

408
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't hear about the full House star they got pushed

409
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: to the ground, did you hear that stuff? Well, I

410
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: did talk to somebody about that, because she's a sort

411
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: of a celebrity. I guess yeah, she was a celebrity

412
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: back in the eighties. And but you know, as with

413
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: all the videos we see on Twitter and online, what's

414
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: always missing from that, Well, it's the setup. We don't

415
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: ever know the circumstances that led up to what we

416
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: see that went viral. We never have the context to

417
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: that video. Now I'm being told by sources within the

418
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: department that what you didn't see on that video was

419
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: that actress ran up the hill and attempted to breach

420
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 1: that skirmish line. And that's a huge no no. In

421
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: the world of protests and secure perimeters. You don't even

422
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: a reporter or a season guy like me, you don't

423
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: attempt to try to break ranks with the LAPD. That

424
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. So they will push you back, then

425
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: they will absolutely push you back. And that's what they did,

426
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: they pushed back. Well, what had happened is if you

427
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: look at the video, all you see is her coming

428
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: back down the hill. She ran up the hill and

429
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: then you see officers pushing her back down. When she

430
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: went down, she lost her footing and tripped over the

431
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: curb and went down. Those people were trying. She got

432
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: a lot of coverage for it. It It was like headlines

433
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: on somebody websites over the weekend. I'm like, really, yeah,

434
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: well of course she did. And what you again don't

435
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: see is that these this group of people were trying

436
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: to get onto the one on one free way to

437
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: block the freeway, right, and that's a crime. I mean,

438
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: that is a crime. They got on the one ten too,

439
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: didn't they. Yeah, So that's I mean, this is this

440
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: has been the big thing now. They you know, they

441
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: were all also protesting in front the city Hall, protesting

442
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: down at Pershing Square and other little pockets of downtown LA.

443
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: And then I think where it really came to a

444
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: head is where you see video of a guy who

445
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: actually did a makeshift flamethrower using some sort of a

446
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: beautane can or something yeah, I just watched that video.

447
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: You see it suddenly just big flare agains out. Well,

448
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: that person they found him and they arrested him and

449
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: charged him with attempted murder um. So they were able

450
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: to track him down just through video alone. Its name

451
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: is Michael Ortiz Is, thirty years old, booked on one

452
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: eighty seven PC attempted murder um the office all downtown

453
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: LA stuff, Yeah, all downtown La. Are they picking court buildings?

454
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: Where are they doing all this stuff? They? You know what,

455
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's no rhyme or reason. It usually

456
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: just seems to be the regular gathering spots in front

457
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: of city Hall, Pershing Square, Grand Avenue, You've got a

458
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: Pacific Park, You've got your usual usual gathering spots. The

459
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: other person arrested to Juliana and Barando or Bernardo whether

460
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: she's twenty three years old. She was booked for resisting

461
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: police officer um and that was when in fact they

462
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: fired les lethal round at Earn and then she was

463
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: taken into custody. She's the one allegedly, um wash you know,

464
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: involved in the fireworks issue that I told you about before.

465
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: So that was kind of happened, and I don't think

466
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: any of those people there were actually to protest against

467
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: the Roe V Way. They were there to cause chaos. Yeah,

468
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: we saw this. We saw this back in twenty twenty

469
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: when we had all these people take it to the

470
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: streets and these anarchists come out and they just know

471
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: it's a good time. But nobody did any smashing grabs. Huh.

472
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: No spasher grabs, no looting this time around. From what

473
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm told, it was all pretty much focused and fixated

474
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: on that trying to get onto the freeways or right

475
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: in there and contained in the downtown areas. And you know,

476
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: LAPD went on tactical alert and so they expected it,

477
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: they knew and they just kind of set back and waited.

478
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: Social media plays a huge part in this in terms

479
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: of spreading the word where to gather and what to do.

480
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: But you know, the cops are I can tell you

481
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: right now, and the cops that I talked to, they're

482
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: getting more and more frustrated by this because as lawmakers

483
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: continue to make it easier and easier for people to

484
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: do more things like this without any consequences, it's starting

485
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: to really weigh on these officers because they're getting a

486
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: frustrated and you know they don't they don't want to

487
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: be the next viral video. But they still have a

488
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: job to do, and that's to secure that perimeter and

489
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: protect people from doing stupid stuff. Um, you know, protect

490
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: them from themselves if you will. But when you show

491
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: up with frozen water bottles, and when you show up

492
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: with projectiles and rocks and break fireworks, fireworks, you know,

493
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: and blow. Yeah, there was that police officer. I said, said, somebody,

494
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: you do go to the hospital with some bird injuries. Yeah. Yeah,

495
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: you got four officers that were injured over the weekend,

496
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: at least four. Yeah. Yeah. Because I looked at the video,

497
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell if anybody got hit by the flame.

498
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: But it just shoots up in the air really wide,

499
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: and there's someone I think it looked like, had an

500
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: umbrella or something like that, and what was one of

501
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: the only things I think that really protected the cop

502
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: from getting it worse than he did. But um, yeah,

503
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: and you know, it's amazing how quickly they were able

504
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: to find those people that do that stuff, even though

505
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: they all show up. You know, here's the thing. The

506
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: ones that show up with masks around their ace, the

507
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: bandanas and whatnot, it's not about COVID, it never has

508
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: been for those folks. It's about protecting their identity. When

509
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: they show up like that, they're not there to protest

510
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade. They're there to cause problems. Yeah, and

511
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: particularly you had Roe v. Wade, and then on top

512
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: of that you had people that hate the police. But

513
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: the police are the only people out there. They're just

514
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: trying to protect the property and keep it things civil.

515
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: So of course they're on the front line of fire. Well,

516
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: and you know that these people couldn't wait, they couldn't

517
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 1: wait to get out there. They've been answering for another

518
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, getting really really chomping at the bid because

519
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since they've been able to

520
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: go out cause chaos. All Right, Steve, thank you very

521
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: much that I appreciate it. Steve Gregory Kofi is covering

522
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: the mayhem that occurred Friday night into the weekend with

523
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: these demonstrations, mostly in downtown LA where they went on

524
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: the freeway. But a couple of people one had to

525
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: make shift flamethrower, another one got involved in trying to

526
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: cross the skirmish line, and of course there were incidents,

527
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: and Steve mentioned four police officers were injured. We'll be

528
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: talking to LAPD after three clock. But a completely different story.

529
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: The mother of a police officer who suffered a spinal

530
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: cord injury during a training session at the police Academy

531
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: is well. She's filed a legal suit against the city

532
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: of La The exercise, she claims in the lawsuit, was

533
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: meant to simulate a mob but it took her son's life.

534
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: He'll talk to her attorney coming up after three John

535
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on KFI Am six forty and I

536
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: have a note here that the Missouri State Highway Patrol

537
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: is supposed to hold a news conference at about three pm.

538
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: This is the train derailment that occurred this afternoon. A

539
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: train that was going from Los Angeles to Chicago has

540
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: derailed near Menden, Missouri, which is some distance northeast of

541
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: the city of Kansas City, Missouri. It hit a truck

542
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: and that knocked it off. The track was at a

543
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: grade crossing, and I guess the truck was just in

544
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: the grade crossing and it caused the Amtrak train to derail.

545
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: There was over two hundred and forty people on board

546
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: and a number of crew members. The latest reports are

547
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: there are multiple fatalities and at least fifty people had

548
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: been injured in this train derailment in Missouri, and it's

549
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: especially relevant here because it started in LA. They're saying

550
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: that eight train cars were involved in the derailment. It

551
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: did hit a dump truck. There's quite a response on

552
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: this scene. Many photos have come out of just people

553
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: on the sides of the train tracks or sitting on

554
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: top of some of the turned on their side train cars.

555
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: So we may check in on that news conference, see

556
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: we can't learn more coming up next hour. Also on

557
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: the John and Ken show. Well, here's a strange decision

558
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: that I don't know. It's a really good decision. Some

559
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: of the biggest store chains, including Target, Walmart, Gap, American

560
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: Eagle Outfitters, have said that it's possible because they have

561
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: too much inventory. And I see in this story it's

562
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: mostly Target and Walmart that are talking about this. They

563
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: have too much stuff already on hand. And you may

564
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: say that thought there were supply chain shortage as well.

565
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: There are for certain items, but you may not know this.

566
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: There are other items that they have too much of

567
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: in stock, things like springtime jackets and hoodies, garden furniture,

568
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: apparently they got too much of bunky kids toys. They

569
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: ordered all this stuff in anticipation that they would sell it,

570
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: but they haven't been able to, so it's been stockpiled

571
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: because that's just not the way consumer tastes have gone

572
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: now that we're this long into the freaking pandemic. So

573
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: the problem they're having is that people are returning merchandise

574
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: in large numbers, and since they already have too much inventory,

575
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: they don't really have enough room to take on all

576
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: the returned merchandise, So they're considering giving you your money

577
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: back and letting you hang on to the junk you

578
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: don't want. Isn't that great, Deborah Mark? Don't you think

579
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: this will lead to an onslaught of people just ordering

580
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: stuff that they either like or don't like and then

581
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: saying I want to return this. Yes, I would imagine

582
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: that they're going to keep track of this so they

583
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: know if you're like a repeat offender, that you are

584
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: just trying to game the system, if you think it's

585
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: probably gonna have to be a limit on a number

586
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: of returns that you can make, getting the money back

587
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: and keeping the stuff. So it says they can't afford

588
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: to take back more of the excess inventory that people

589
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: want to return. They've already got so much on hand.

590
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: It's such a weird kind of disconnect story, because all

591
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: we hear every day is is a shortage of this

592
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: and a shortage of that. But in this case, because

593
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: they have too much of some merchandise and it's just

594
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: loading up their warehouses and storerooms, they've decided they got

595
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: to do something and not take on. Perhaps the returns says,

596
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: retailers take back merchandise from the customer, evaluate it, and

597
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: if it's in good condition, they will put it back

598
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: on the shelf at the same or the lesser price.

599
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: You ever go to one of those stories where you

600
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: can see it's been repackaged, they actually market to return.

601
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, and they do. They usually write a

602
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: note with a little sticky thing on it saying that

603
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: it's been returned. But I guess they usually sell those

604
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: at a discount. I kind of pass those over because

605
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea of people handling anything that

606
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: I unless it's the last one and you really want it.

607
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: If you really do want it, I saw that recently.

608
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: I forget what the item was of, as curtains or

609
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: something like that they can refurbish damage goods and sell

610
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: them for less or offload them to liquidators to resell.

611
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: They can also sell return products to foreign liquidators though,

612
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: so they're for sale in Europe or Canada or Mexico.

613
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: But it says you're given the situation at the ports

614
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: and they have container shortages, ending products overseas isn't really

615
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: an option. Yeah, that's something else we learned about that.

616
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: Apparently there was so much of that stuff sitting off

617
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: shore that when those ships finally came in and unloaded

618
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: their cargo, they got stuck with all these container ships

619
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: that the other the foreign ports didn't want back because

620
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: it was just like a one way deal trying to

621
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: ship all this stuff. They got tent up for like

622
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: two years. Retailers can hire third party firms to handle

623
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: all aspects of merchandise returns for them, so they're trying

624
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: to figure out what they're going to do For every

625
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: dollar in sales, a retail's net profit is somewhere between

626
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: a cent and five cents. Think about that because a

627
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of times people think, oh, these overpriced, greedy stores,

628
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: they marked this up so much. You know, their profits

629
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: only one cent to five cents for a dollar item

630
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: that's five dollar item, it's a few cents. With returns

631
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 1: for every dollar and returned merchandise that cost a retailer

632
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: between fifteen cents and thirty cents to handle it. So

633
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: this just doesn't make economic sense to take back all

634
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: these returns. Byway, you'ver got to Costco and see the

635
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: returns line. It's the one place I go to where

636
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: I see the longest returns line in history. I don't

637
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: know what it is with Costco people. They seem to

638
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: want to return everything. There is one other option for

639
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: retailers to address returns while avoiding more product bload, and

640
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: that's to consider a returnless return. And that's the one

641
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: I just mentioned that you get your money back, but

642
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: you also get to keep whatever it is. But I'm

643
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: sure a lot of this story isn't completely done yet

644
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: and they haven't adopted this policy. When they do, they're

645
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: going to realize they have to have limits on it.

646
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: So people are taking advantage of it all right, when

647
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: we come back. It was a sad story you may

648
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: have heard about. A Los Angeles Police Department officer died

649
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: after he suffered fatal neck injuries during the department training

650
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: exercise last month. I think last week was the big

651
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: funeral memorial service. According to his mother and a wrongful

652
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: death law claim, it was to simulate a mob This

653
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,640
