We're 20 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: going to have the former communications director for Eric Garcetti 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: on the show, Naomi Seligman, And the reason we want 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: her on and we've been trying to get her on is, 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: of course she's at the center of the possibility that 24 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: the nomination of Eric Garcetti to be the next ambassador 25 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: to India fistles, and it's all because of sex harassment 26 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: claims against his top aid, Rick Jacob said, still going 27 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: through the process in civil lawsuits. But there's an allegation 28 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: among a number of people that Eric Garcetti knew what 29 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: Rick Jacobs was doing to sexually harass various employees who 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: worked for the City of la in the mayor's office, 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: and he didn't do anything about it. And Naomi was 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: key among this. She eventually got an organization that specializes 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: in whistleblowing to take her case to the US Senate 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: to make them aware that when Garcetti said under oath 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: he knew nothing about never saw any sex harassment, they 36 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: believe he's lying, So chance that that nomination is scuttled. 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: We'll talk to Naomi after five. You probably have followed 38 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,839 Speaker 1: to some extent the odyssey of Vicky White, the Alabama 39 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: jail guard and the murder suspect Casey White, that six 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: foot nine monster that she helped escape from jail, and 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: then they went on a ride, getting caught finally in Evansville, Indiana, 42 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: where she shot herself and she died. He was captured, 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: but she killed herself. By the way I just mentioned, 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: she was Employee of the Year. Is going to be 45 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: the fifth straight year she was due to win the award. 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: People were stunned that she would engage in this, But 47 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: of course the word is these two were very close 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: in some kind of relationship. The big development in the 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: story is coming now. Heb seen his correspondent to Alec 50 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: Stone coming on for KFI to talk about these nine 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: this nine one one audio. Yeah, and when it comes 52 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: to their relationship, two years is what they believe now 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: that this had been going on. He had been in 54 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: and at the county jail and in the Alabama Department 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: of Corrections and in and out. They had been apparently 56 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: carrying this thing on. And when it became romantic was 57 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: it romantic in the jail? They don't know any of 58 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: that yet, but um, but according to Casey White, it 59 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: had been going on for a while. So we are 60 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: hearing the final moments. Now we had known that there 61 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: was a nine one one call that was made. We 62 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: didn't know that she had butt dialed, but that's apparently 63 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: what went on that she didn't know that she was 64 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: connected to nine one one as it went on, But 65 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: that allowed nine one dispatchers to listen in during the 66 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: police chase with US Marshals and with the county sheriff 67 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: there in Evansville, Indiana, to hear what was going on 68 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: in the vehicle as they were being chased, and then 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: they put this out to the deputies behind. We could 70 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: hear her on the line saying she had her finger 71 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: on the still arm. She had her finger on the trigger, 72 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: still armed. Now that we know, because we're hearing the 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: nine one one call that it's kind of hard to hear. 74 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: But she called nine one one, didn't know it. For 75 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: seven minutes the line was open with a dispatcher. They 76 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: were listening in. A lot of it was after she 77 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: already shot herself and they were being pulled out, but 78 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: some of it was while it was going on, and 79 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: nine one one was trying to get their attention at first, 80 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: not knowing who it was. Somebody had called nine one, 81 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: nine one one. He's yelling his hair on the sirens 82 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: behind and everything. So they say during this thing while 83 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: they're still on the run, first of all, she's mad 84 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: at Casey for staying at the motel in Evansville. This 85 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: is where they bought fourteen days and they had been 86 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: there for about a week, and she it sounds like 87 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: he's pretty much saying, you know, dummy, shouldn't have stayed 88 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: here so long, but you wanted to stay at that motel. 89 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: Then she says, look, the airbags are going to go off. 90 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna kill us the airbags as they were bouncing 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: around off roads and through a field and they were 92 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: going all over the place. Um. And then she suggests 93 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: that they get out and run. And it's hard to hear, 94 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: but this is that moment where she says, hey, let's 95 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: get out and run. The Alabama accent there, let's get 96 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: out and run. And then immediately after that they are 97 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: rammed by the US Marshals That puts the Cadillac that 98 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: they're in on its side down into a ditch. Uh. 99 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: And then there's a gunshot on the phone call and 100 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: then you hear police moving in saying her fingers on 101 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: the trigger, get the gun away, and then they pull 102 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: her out, which newly released body camera audio that the 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 1: sheriff also put out in Indiana, they do this quick 104 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: compared to California, apparently that they're letting us here that 105 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: as well as as they went up to her. A 106 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: lot of rustling around there. But I'm gonna go for 107 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: the gun, they said, and they get her finger off 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: the trigger and they got her out of there, pulled 109 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: her out. She died, the warner in Indiana confirming now 110 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: they've done the autopsy, the evidence is there. She did 111 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: kill herself. It was suicide. There had been questions about that. 112 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Casey White claimed that, but he's in leeged murderer as well. 113 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: Why he was in jail, so they had to make 114 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: sure that he didn't murder her. He's been extradited. He's 115 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: back in Alabama, already reigned there on charges of escape 116 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: on top of the murder count that he was already 117 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: in jail on. And they're still trying to put it 118 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: all together. But he's singing like a canary, talking about 119 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: what went on and saying two years they had been together. 120 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: She was driving, by the way, wasn't she. Yeah. There 121 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: was some debate about that. One sheriff said she was 122 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: driving the other sheriff one in Alabama, one in Indiana, 123 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: since she was a passenger, but it sounds like she 124 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: was driving, but yet she's yelling at Casey. They said 125 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: it was a little hard to know based on they 126 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: rolled and they were all over the place in there 127 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: and she had shot herself and was laying there. But 128 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: one of the sheriff says she was driving, the other 129 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: one says passenger. Either way, she was unhappy. She wanted 130 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: to get out and run shows. Again, they really didn't 131 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: have an end plan that they had talked about. Casey 132 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: has told them that they wanted to go out and 133 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: a hail of bullets that they were They had the 134 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: AR fifteen bunch of handguns, her duty belt, but then 135 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: this went down. They ran the car and she's saying, 136 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: let's go run. Then she shoots herself in the head. 137 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: And the ending they really didn't have planned out And 138 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: as far as we know, nobody in her life knew 139 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: about this relationship. Nobody at the prison knew what was 140 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: going on. Apparently not. They say that she was the 141 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: model guard and trained the younger ones and they didn't 142 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: see this, so she didn't talk about him. I mean 143 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: if she came in love with him, they didn't see 144 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: her sneak it in there with extra food and hanging 145 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: out all the security cameras in a jail. Yeah, well 146 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: you've seen the one security camera where she walks him 147 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: out to her patrol car at the sally port at 148 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: the jail, So that's at least there. I'm sure they're 149 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: going back and looking for all that. Right now. We 150 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: know that she brought him more food, but did she 151 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: bring them more than that? And somebody paying attention that 152 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: he's a hungry man? Yeah, all right, Alex, thank you 153 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: very much for that. By guys Alex Stone, ABC News 154 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: for KFI. Yeah, I guess the quote that's making the 155 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: rounds from the nine one one call is when Vicki 156 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: says to Casey, yeah, I had to stay in some 157 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: bleep and motel yea. It turns out I'd read a 158 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: report that it was a Motel six, but no, it's 159 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: a Motel forty one. I guess that's how much it 160 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: costs now? Is that an upgrade? You know? I think 161 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: that was originally why they were Motel six. It was 162 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: six dollars six dollars. Really, they called him Motel forty ones. Well, 163 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: I don't know that, but this one was called Motel 164 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: forty one and the outskirts of this town in Indiana 165 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: where they were calling and she actually said let's go run. 166 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: Where was she going to run? Yeah, I don't know. 167 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: And then she kills herself instead. That is such a 168 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: weird story, that woman's last few months of her life. 169 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: Nobody had a wi for this. Huh. That's stranger, right. 170 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: They should have seen them hanging out or doing something 171 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: special for him. I don't know. More coming up, John 172 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: and Ken caf. We got the first of what will 173 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: be two big reports on the number of well allegedly 174 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: the number of homeless on the streets and in the shelters. 175 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: The report today comes from Orange County. The La County 176 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: report is probably going to come either later this month 177 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: or next month. Now, whether or not you believe these reports, 178 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: this is what they go by when they try to 179 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: figure out the homelessness is getting worse, getting better? What 180 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: we have to do with it? To the numbers that 181 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: you hear people quote, except except they don't do anything 182 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: make it better, at least not in La County. Right 183 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: in Orange County, they're saying that the number of unhoused people, 184 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Oh boy, has dropped by more than twenty percent versus 185 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: three years ago. They did not do account in twenty 186 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: twenty or twenty one because of the pandemic. They found 187 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: the total home less populations sheltered and unsheltered, they say 188 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: in Orange County was six thousand, eight hundred and sixty 189 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: and that was in twenty nineteen. New numbers show the 190 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: countess five thousand and seven hundred and eighteen. More than 191 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: half of them are literally on the streets. They're considered unsheltered. 192 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: A couple of other things they got out of this 193 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: in their statistical analysis is that the vast majority of 194 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: the counties homeless were individuals. Fewer than one hundred families. 195 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: No unaccompanied youth were counted on the streets. So, at 196 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: least for Orange County, this whole women in children thing homeless, 197 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: it's not very tiny. It's it's a lot of single men. 198 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: It's yes, mostly single men between the ages of twenty 199 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: five and forty nine. Yes, And your eyes tell you that, right, 200 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: that's one of my eyes tell me. Because I drove 201 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: by that homeless encampment every day, and what that's what 202 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: I saw. I saw a single man twenty five to 203 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: forty nine, rarely a woman, never a child. The rest 204 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: of what you get here is self reported, as they 205 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: call it. More than half self reported is chronically homeless. 206 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: Just over forty one percent said they had substance use issues. 207 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: Thirty percent reported mental health issues. Again that's self reported. Well, 208 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: I basically asked by the person with a iPad, well, 209 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: what's your situation there? Do you have any alcohol or 210 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: mental health issues? That kind of survey is useless because, 211 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: as you know Michael Schellenberger talked about last year, and 212 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: every study I've seen shows that anywhere from three quarters 213 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: to nearly one hundred percent of the people have a 214 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: drug problem. But if you ask a homeless person who's 215 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: on drugs, you know how this goes. With addictions. A 216 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: lot of people, Oh, I don't have a problem. I 217 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: use it, but I don't have a problem. So having 218 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: drug addicts or alcoholics self report how addicted they are 219 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: is probably the most asinine thing you can do in 220 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: a survey. Nearly three quarters of the unhoused were men, 221 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: as you might have expected, and more than half of 222 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: them were between the ages of twenty five and forty nine. 223 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: And that's where things really break down when you have 224 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: addictions and mental health problems. Between twenty five and forty 225 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: nine can be tough years when you're stuck with the 226 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: that because that's supposed to be your prime earning years, 227 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: your prime living years right and addicted and you have 228 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: mental health problems, you really could end up on the street. 229 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: And by then they've alienated everybody in their life. They've 230 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: alienated their parents, they've alienated their wife if they had one, 231 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: and their family. Their failures, and there's no way out 232 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: because we don't have we don't have effective mental health 233 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,839 Speaker 1: and drug treatment, and we can't force them off the street. 234 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a complete dead end. And that's 235 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: why I'm a big fan of Schellenberger because he writes 236 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: the truth. We literally are not doing anything for these people. 237 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: There is a lot of talk from politicians and a 238 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: lot of residents not alonge. Yeah. Yeah, I think it 239 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: would be good if you know, they got rehabilitated. Well, 240 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: that's fine, except they don't. They're not rehabilitated. There's not 241 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: a system to effectively rehabilitate this many people. They just 242 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: don't have the system. There's no compassion for letting people 243 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: die on the streets. Where's the compassion that they're saying. 244 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: You don't have compassion. You're trying to criminalize homeless and 245 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: take these people against their wills. Well, we may save 246 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: their lives, they're gonna let them die. That's that's see. 247 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: That's the thing. That's what I talked about before. What 248 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: they do is they change the subject and you end 249 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: up arguing something nonsensical and insane. You know, you start saying, no, 250 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm compassionate. It's like stop in la and there's two 251 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: thousand people die in it every year. Two thousand people 252 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: dying of overdoses outdoors. That that that's the issue. And 253 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: this is what makes me crazy. Carcetti's being taken down 254 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: because of all we a sex scandal that he's not 255 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: even directly involved with, but he's not taken down for 256 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: having thousands of people dyeing in the streets. This is 257 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: what just baffles me about human nature and about politics 258 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: and media coverage and everything. The fact that the streets 259 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: are a killing field is the issue that should bring 260 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: these politicians down. You know, it's it's said, it's you know, 261 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: his aid doing a grind rub on somebody. Yeah, that's 262 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: shows you the priorities. I know that's because there's there's 263 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: passionate disagreement as to how to deal with homelessness. Most 264 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: people agree you should not rub your groin against others 265 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: without their consent. You know, you know, I wonder what 266 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: the passionate disagreement is. What is a passionate disagreement when 267 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: your policies have led to thousands of people dying in 268 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: the streets. They want admit that though, well they are dead. 269 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: Though they won't admit it. The people are dead, they'll 270 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: blame you. You've been in charge. Now they've been in charge. 271 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: These are responsible. They couldn't get a house, it's too expensive. 272 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know anything to live in the street to die. 273 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: I gave my tax money. I gave a lot of 274 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: tax money. They said they were going to fix this. 275 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: They didn't fix it. It It got worse. So that's again, 276 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: that's another issue where they end up changing the subject. 277 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: They're constantly changing the subject until you until your head 278 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: pops off. All right, we got more coming up, John 279 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: and Ken. We're gonna talk now with a restaurant owner 280 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: named Matthew Oliver. Matthew Oliver has a place called House 281 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: of Oliver, and during Newsome's virus lockdown, he would defy 282 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: it and would have a Newsom Hour, and I guess 283 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: people would come and have a drink. And the Plaster 284 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: counties where he is up in northern California, and that 285 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: county wasn't particularly enforcing any of these lockdown orders. However, 286 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: the state got really pissed. The Alcohol Beverage Control Agency. 287 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: They have filed citations, a civil suit and they want 288 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: to close him down for thirty days as a penalty. Yeah, 289 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: because the local DA was not interested in prosecuting any 290 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: kind of case. So we told you about this when 291 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: it was going on back in twenty twenty and maybe 292 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: even to twenty one. It's like a lot of local 293 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: officials and das and some of the counties they don't 294 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: want to bother with this. It's nonsense. Leave the businesses alone. 295 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: But the response was, well, then we're going to send 296 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: in state officials. Very true, enforced us, very similar to 297 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: how the Chinese Communist Party runs things out of Beijing. 298 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: Let's get Matthew Oliver on the line. Matthew, how are 299 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: you well. I am doing well. Thank you so much 300 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: for bringing me on and celebrating news Some house so 301 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: I explain during the lockdown exactly what was what were 302 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: the times you were open and what were you serving 303 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: and what kind of crowd did you draw? Well, you know, 304 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: we I want to set the record straight. When we started, 305 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: we were like everybody, we didn't know what was going on. 306 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: We didn't want to get people faked. We wanted to 307 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: honor and respect. But the moment we realized that there 308 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: was a major double standard, it was obviously rules for 309 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: the not for me scenario, we were done with him. 310 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: We had employees, single moms, families, we had guys working 311 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: three jobs to me against meet then we're gonna make 312 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: it on this unemployment. It wasn't gonna work for him. 313 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Plus he didn't want to be dependent on the government. 314 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: So we went, we're gonna give you your job. We're 315 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: gonna go out there and do it. And so we 316 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: opened up and we called a newsom hour because we 317 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: absolutely felt what the government was doing was illegal, it 318 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: was abusive. He's a bully and we weren't going to 319 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: stand for him. And so how long would you be open? Well, 320 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: what started as hey, we're gonna do like a late 321 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: night and then turned to dinner. Next thing, you know, 322 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: we were open lunch and dinner, and then we ended 323 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: up opening breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we really did. 324 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: The Newsom hour was really birth when. I don't know 325 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: if you remember when Gavin Newsom said you couldn't serve 326 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: alcohol after ten o'clock because that's when the virus really 327 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: was acting. I do remember that yet. That was fun, 328 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: But it wasn't that stupid. There's so many stupid random 329 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: rules out of his empty head. Yeah, you couldn't have 330 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: a drink after ten o'clock, well, because then you get 331 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: really sad. Yeah, it was. It was ridiculous. So you 332 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: started getting who first showed up from the government to 333 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: tell you what to do? Well, well, we had cal 334 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: Osha claimed so far up our backside that now we 335 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: know we're clean, so that's good. Uh. He sent his 336 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: um all of the alphabet COASTAPO to us, whether it's HC, ABC, 337 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: and UM we got the ABC up all through us. 338 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: We ended up walking in to serve me thirteen citations. 339 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: And the day they showed up, not only were two 340 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty other restaurants in Plaster County fully open 341 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: and operating, but the guy who showed up from the 342 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: alcohol beverage control or no mask. He walked in and 343 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: talked and he counted our staff. He probably was even 344 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: wearing underwear. I'm being honest here, but full swinging to 345 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: serve us paperwork for violating codes that we don't even 346 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: know because we got paperwork that we violated the codes. 347 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: We just never got paperwork on what's those codes? Right, Well, 348 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: that's a common tactic is they hit over the head 349 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: with dozens of violations for all kinds of trivial, minor 350 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: stuff that no one is even aware of. That is 351 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: just bullying. That is just government abuse. The way you 352 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: described it was perfect. They abuse you because they can. Yeah. Well, 353 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: and now the thing is is the governor has definitely 354 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: gotten a heart on for us. He wants to make 355 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: an example out of House of Oliver. He wants to 356 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: show people because it's it's not about what happened, it's 357 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: really about what's going to happen. They don't want to 358 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: lose control, and they've got to make sure that the 359 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: next time that they want to let's and implement their 360 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: power in their legal mandates, that people fall in line. 361 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: So they're they're dangling this out there to make a 362 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: public spectacle of us, hoping that people are going to 363 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: cower in fear, and instead what we're seeing is people 364 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: rising up, standing up and fighting back. Oh that's fantastic. 365 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: So what's the immediate threat? Thirty days? They want to 366 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: close you to punish for all your indiscretions. Yeah, there will. 367 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: You know what we think is thirty days. It's called 368 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: House of Oliver wine lounge. Even though we're full liquor, 369 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: be focused on wine. It's hard to be a wine 370 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: lounge when you can't serve boring. So they want to 371 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: shut us down for thirty days. What would they really 372 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: want to do is drag out this process as long 373 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: as they possibly can, drain my funds dry in legal 374 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: fees and the process, and they ultimately want me to 375 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: close because they think if we close, if we get 376 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: fit up, we're going to move out of the state 377 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: and we're gonna give up and let them continue to 378 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: have control and dominance. Well, that would happened, right, It 379 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: won't happen. It's not happening. And what we're doing even 380 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: more is we're rallying. We're getting people motivated, we're getting 381 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: them activated, and they're getting involved in the local government. 382 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: They're getting involved in their school boards are getting involved 383 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: and this started. Listen, I was just a guy who 384 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: liked wine and cheese. You know, I don't understand this. 385 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I really don't understand why after all this time, 386 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,239 Speaker 1: they're digging this up all over again. Lets move on. 387 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: The whole thing was stupid. They were wrong. Plenty of 388 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: states in the wide open we had the same amount 389 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: of COVID cases. It just was completely unnecessary to begin with. 390 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: How many outbreaks did you have at the House of 391 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Oliver from all this, Not only did we have no outbreaks, 392 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: they have no COVID tracing comes back to our restaurant whatsoever. 393 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: None of our staff had any of COVID doing any 394 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: of the outbreaks anything going on, And it's absolutely ridiculous 395 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: what they were asking us to do. A stupid We 396 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: just have downpour rain the other day and it brought 397 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: back like some PTSD when the governor wanted us to 398 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: be serving people outside in the downpour when it's pouring rain, 399 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: And it just reminds me how stupid this guy is. 400 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: And now he wants to run for president. Yeah, it's 401 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: going on, I know. So okay, I mean, are they 402 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: taking you to court? Is there some kind of a 403 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: civil procedure through an agency, Like, what is it you 404 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: have to deal with now that they've laid out these 405 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: charges against you. So they've laid up the charges they 406 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: want me to agree. See, it's not just they're saying 407 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: they wanted to shut me down for a month. They 408 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: think that is the compromise. That is what they've offered me. 409 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: We will only shut you for a month, like that's 410 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: some sort of a win on my side. And what 411 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: we've come back and said, how about No, we're not 412 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: going to do that. And what we're hoping right now 413 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: is that we can get some motivation from people. We've 414 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: got our Assembly member Kevin Kylieh's ruined it for Congress. 415 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: He's written literable to Newsom and litterable to the Alcohol 416 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: Beverage Control asking them to back down. We have other 417 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: members in the Assembly, other members of the state thom Maquintock, 418 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: who are you know representing they're stepping up for small businesses. 419 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: They're fighting for him, saying, hey, governor stepped down. He 420 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: is the only governor in all of these states. You know. 421 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: He likes to do what no one else is doing. 422 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: He takes stupid to the extreme. The only governor trying 423 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: to shut her small businesses. Now. Now, places are begging 424 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: for stuff to open up, and he's going, how about clothes. 425 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: It's May of twenty twenty two and Newsom is obsessed 426 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: with shutting down restaurants. Yi yi, yeah. It doesn't like 427 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: any rebellion. So I mean, can you can Is there 428 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: any legal avenue for you? Well, what they do is 429 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: we fight them legally. It goes to administrative courts. I 430 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: have to go through three different trials before I ever 431 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: see an actual judge. Their administrative courts, two different administrative courts. 432 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: They are not judges. They're appointed by the Alcohol Beverage 433 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: Control Um. It's absolute Mickey mouse situation where I lose, 434 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: I appeal, I lose, I appeal. I finally go to 435 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: a judge and by then I'm broke. That's their hope. 436 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: What we're hoping is that people step up, they join 437 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: with us. We put pressure on the ABC, we put 438 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: pressure on the governor, and on top of that, when 439 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: they come in the House of Oliver, I know some 440 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: of those they are down stout.

All Right, it's Matthew Oliver who created a 451 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: new Some Hour to fight back against restaurant lockdowns and 452 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: jars and anyway, they're still after him, trying to shut 453 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: them down for thirty days as a penalty for violating 454 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: the state's pandemic health orders back in. He does not 455 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: want to let go of the control. The emergency orders 456 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: still in effect. You go get them ABC. This is 457 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: a fanatic. He belongs in Beijing. John again. Yeah, coming up. 458 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: Naomi Selingman will be our guest. She was the former 459 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: director of communications for Eric Garcetti, and a few months 460 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: ago she said she believes Garcetti should be charged prosecuted 461 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: for perjury for repeatedly denying that he knew nothing about 462 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: his former top aid Rick Jacob's alleged sexual misconduct. She 463 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: will join us after five. Because that eventually led to 464 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: some Republicans in the US Senate putting a hold on 465 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,239 Speaker 1: Garcetti's nomination to be the next ambassador to Indian Then 466 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: they went ahead and did their own report and their 467 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: conclusion was it is extremely likely or likely that Garcetti 468 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: did know about what was Rick Jacobs was up to. 469 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Naomi after of the news at 470 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: five o'clock. Because of this nomination is terminated. She's a 471 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: big reason for it. Here's your Ukraine Russia update. It's 472 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: about Putin's health. Putin I only hope maybe this will 473 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: end because he dies. He was supposed to show up 474 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: for something called the Legends of Hockey. This is a game, 475 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: an annual game they have that involves some of the 476 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: Russian NHL players, Oligarch's politicians come. Putin used to play 477 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: every year. Yes, he used to play every year. He 478 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: didn't even show up today. In fact, there's a picture 479 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: of him in the twenty twenty one game. He was 480 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: there with ice skates on a whole hockey uniform on 481 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: skating around. He used to play to show how strong 482 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: and vigorous. He was, Yes, he said that hockey helped 483 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: keep you vigorous, but he didn't show up today. Some 484 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: are saying it could be his help, as a picture 485 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,719 Speaker 1: of him with splotchy cheeks, it could be some treatment 486 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: or some conditions. I saw that, I wondered, I wonder 487 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: what that was. Nothing came to mind, like what kind 488 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: of illness or what kind of treatment would make give 489 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,959 Speaker 1: you blotches? And they're saying that they're trying to use makeup. 490 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: They believe that he's got some type of cancer. But 491 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: and they said that he showed up at the Victor 492 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: Day parade with a heavy blanket across his legs and 493 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: some thought he was limping. So and there was a 494 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: report that he's going to go for some surgery soon. 495 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: But we don't know any of this for sure. Yeah, 496 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: I mean again, you always think immediately that this could 497 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: be prop propaganda or wishful thinking, or you know, just 498 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: just various papers because a lot of it comes from 499 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: the London tabloids and they're just they're just stirring up dirt, 500 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: right sources, and it's usually the same source that's reporting 501 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: on Putin's health. But you wonder there's so many of 502 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: these stories, and you wonder are they really all made 503 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: up or exaggerated. There's really nothing to this. Meanwhile, Ukraine 504 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: has filed criminal charges and they are going to try 505 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: at least one Russian soldier for war crimes. How's that 506 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: for a twist. I guess that's how much control they 507 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: have over the situation. They're ready to move ahead to 508 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: charge war crimes. They're doing trials now. They filed an 509 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: indictment against a twenty one year old Tank division commander 510 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: or Russian by the name of Vadem Shizmarn. Shizmarn, he 511 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: could face life imprisonment. They would say that he fatally 512 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: shot an unarmed sixty two year old man while that 513 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: man was near his home in northeastern Ukraine. This Shashira Shishmarn, 514 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: is accused of firing several shots from a Kalishnakoff rifle 515 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: at the head of the Ukrainian man, who died on 516 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: the spot a few dozen meters from his home. They 517 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: collected evidence and this will be their first war crimes trial. 518 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: They also apparently have others that they also want to 519 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: charge with war crimes. All right, when we come back, 520 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: we have an opportunity finally to talk to the former 521 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: communications director for Eric Garcetti.
