1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: If I am six forty you're listening to the John

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: to the show. John has some time off, I'm here

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: with you. Want to hear something funny? Debor Mark?

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: I do I do?

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: Earthquake?

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: What where?

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: I know?

9
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: She looks around, starts checking the news wires.

10
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really am all right.

11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: Just just calm down, though. I got a great story

12
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: for you, probably at the end of the hour, and

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: to admit, I suffer a little bit from it too.

14
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: But I think this particular study comes from the Journal

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: of the Medical Association, so it's not like made up

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: health news. But I think one part of it describes

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: you to a t. And yes it does involve vegans

18
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: and vegetarians, so of course you knew that was coming. That punch.

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: We got a lot going on. We have a keyword

20
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: for you to win some money. In about fifteen minutes,

21
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: stand by for that word. It gets revealed and then

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: you have a chance to win by following the instructions

23
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: as to where to enter the keyword. It's kfi's Cash

24
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Compensation Inflation Contest, which continues here on KFI each hour

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: about twenty after a lot to get to today, a

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: very busy show. One quick note that's making some news

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: right now. Madonna was rushed to the hospital intubated in

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: an intensive care unit after being found unresponsive sixty four

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: year old Madonna. However, they are now saying she's recovering

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: and word is she developed a serious bacterial infection which

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: led to a several days stay in the ICU, but

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: her full recovery is expected. So there you go. On

33
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: the Celebrity Health Watch, Madonna apparently had to be rushed

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: to the hospital yesterday. At this time, we talked about

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: a story coming out of West Hollywood and anytime people

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: residents or business owners or employees rise up against what's

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: going on in southern California when comes to non response

38
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: to the homelessness and crime problems, we are very happy

39
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: to put these people on the air and give them

40
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: a voice. And yesterday we talked about him. We played

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: some audio, but we do have a chance to talk

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: to him. He's the owner of a West Hollywood restaurant.

43
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: His name is Lucian Tudor and okay, so far he's

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: not answering, but hopefully we'll get him on in a moment. Well, anyway,

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: He organized a small protest at City Council in West

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: Hollywood at their meeting Monday night. He spoke during public

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: comment and to the press beforehand, and this is part

48
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: of what he said. People are afraid to come to work.

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: People are not safe to come here to eat. We've

50
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: been here for thirty two years. We have people who

51
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: used to come every day for thirty two years. They're

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: not safe walking the streets of West Hollywood. They're breaking

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: into their own homes. They're breaking into their own homes.

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: We've been to the council expressing our concerns of the

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: lack of safety in today's challenges as a business. I

56
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: didn't have any response from count members, not even in emails,

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: no response. So he showed up and he's inviting everybody

58
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: in West Hollywood to speak louder. This is not okay,

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: this is not safe. It seems for our politicians it's

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: safe because they're running for Congress. They don't care about

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: what's happening over here. They just need to do political agendas.

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: We need change, we need to be safe. Come to

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: the City Council, it's going to be there every time

64
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: from now on, and speak your concerns. Loudly and basically

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: what he's doing. He says he's going to shut down

66
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: the restaurant and he and his staff are going to

67
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: go to the West Hollywood City Council meetings every time

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: until they get what they want in terms of change

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: and more enforcement there. Basically, what's going on in his

70
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: restaurant is that people, homeless people are wandering in and

71
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: disrupting operations. There's been crime in the neighborhood. West Hollywood's

72
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: been in the news for a couple of years because

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: a couple of years back, the whole defund the police movement.

74
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: The West Hollywood City Council decided to replace some of

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: their seriff's deputies with ambassadors, people that walk around with

76
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: walkie talkies and wear vests and they're supposed to report

77
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: on any activity so there could be a police response.

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people in West Hollywood believe that that

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: is weak and ineffective and has done nothing for the

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: problem there. They did reverse that decision. I don't know

81
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: how many sheriff's deputies they added back. According to reports,

82
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: larceny thefts have dropped by almost fifteen percent, it says

83
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: here in the last year or so, robberies have also

84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: dropped by almost four percent. Deputies reported forty four robberies

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: in the first five months of twenty twenty three. Burglaries

86
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: in the same period have gone up slightly, with about

87
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: a fourteen percent increase compared to last year. But a

88
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: lot of the workers who were interviewed in these stories

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: say that they do not feel safe. And it's not

90
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: just the crime I realized I like to put out

91
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the crime data. And as you know from following this,

92
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: as long as we have a some people have just

93
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: given up reporting somebody, you know, who breaks in and

94
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: steals a couple hundred bucks out of the cash register.

95
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: They realize the police will come, they'll take a report,

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: nothing will be nothing will happen. And of course, thanks

97
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: to our laws, when it comes to stealing and shoplifting,

98
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: well you have to go above nine hundred and fifty

99
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: dollars for it to matter as a crime. So people

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: have largely given up reporting these crimes. Anyway, he says

101
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: that something has to be done. So he's taken this

102
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: protest very personally, and he's closed the restaurant, so he's

103
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: not here, he's not coming on. What's the story. We

104
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: don't have okay, then we'll just have to move on

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: to something else until we see if he pops up.

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: There's something that did pop up in the news concerning

107
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: all this. We told you last week and we threw

108
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: him in the dumpster. The Attorney General, Rob Banta held

109
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: a big news conference last week to announce what they

110
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: were going to do about retail theft in Kelnia, and

111
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: he said, well, we're only going to focus on organized

112
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: retail theft. These are allegedly gangs or whatever you want

113
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: to call them, or, as Gavin Newsom says, organize groups

114
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: of folks who get together and decide to take advantage

115
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: of the system by sending people out there to steal

116
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: stuff from stores, then bring it back and it's immediately

117
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: floated online for people to buy a profit. They want

118
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: to get rid of the items quickly because it's possible

119
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: if the police or somebody gets on to them, they

120
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: might find them with the stash of stolen goods. So

121
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: Rob Bunt announced that there was going to be a

122
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: partnership in California between some of the major retailers and

123
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: law enforcement and the online marketplaces. That's the third aspect

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: of this. These are the places where the thieves go

125
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: to sell the merchandise as fast as they can. Now,

126
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: federal government took action on this. We'll have to see

127
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: whether or not this has any effect. It's called the Informact.

128
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: It took effect yesterday. It requires online marketplaces to disclose

129
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: and verify the identity of their sellers to deter the

130
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: sale of stolen, counterfeit, or harmful products. The bill came

131
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: after retailers and trade groups lobbied Congress and blamed online

132
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: marketplaces like eBay and Amazon for the surge and retail theft.

133
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: It says here, if they don't comply with the law,

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: they could face more than fifty thousand dollars in fines

135
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: for every violation. So again, this is a federal law.

136
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: And what we're talking about or online marketplaces like Amazon

137
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: and eBay, and they have to verify and share information

138
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: on their third party sellers that handle what's described as

139
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: a high volume of transactions, because that's allegedly the tip

140
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: off that something not so inside the law might be

141
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: going on. This wouldn't effect you if you're just selling

142
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: a couple of items on eBay or Amazon at one

143
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: of those places. A lot of third party vendors on Amazon,

144
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: as you know if you're buying anything there. But what

145
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: they're really looking for is a high volume of transactions because,

146
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: as I mentioned a couple of minutes ago, they're looking

147
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: to get rid of this stuff the loot really fast

148
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: before anybody catches on. So the idea here is that

149
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the investigators are going to notice the high volume of

150
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: transactions maybe on eBay or Amazon, because they're going to

151
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: get the report from these companies and then they can

152
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: look in to further to see exactly what's going on there.

153
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: It stands for, by the way, INFORM is an acronym integrity,

154
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: notification and Fairness in online retail marketplaces. And it actually

155
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: passed with votes from Republicans and Democrats. Was part of

156
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: a big spending bill last year. It just took effect.

157
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not this is going to

158
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: put a dentist. This honestly right. If you go after

159
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: the marketplaces and you find out more about the organized

160
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: retail theft, I'm sure this is a big component and

161
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: what's going on out there with all of the shoplifting,

162
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: but a lot of it also is just a lot

163
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: of small operators who are stealing stuff and getting away

164
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: with it. Most of the stories we do are people

165
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: that just run in and then grab cash. This would

166
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: be for the crab that goes in and steals the merchandise,

167
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: whether they're stealing the jewelry or the high end clothing.

168
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: That's the stuff that they want to resell. All right,

169
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: coming up next, your chance at some money. That's right.

Speaker 1: get the city council and the government there to do

Speaker 3: The name of the restaurant is laboymlaboem and it's Mediterranean

184
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: it's French California and kids in the chef has a

185

Speaker 3: lot of French yer backgrounds. So yes, we've been there

186
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: for thirty two years. The chef also for the very

187
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: long time.

188
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: It looks very nice. I looked up your website the

189
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: pictures all right described you said you've been around for

190
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: thirty two years. Tell us what's been going on in

191
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: West Hollywood that you've had enough of?

192
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: So see. Three are the main points the where I

193
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: wanted to address to the city quantil. The first and

194
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: foremost is the safety and the cleanest of this city.

195
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: This city is not safe anymore, is getting worse and worse,

196
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: and they pretend we have the safety s city in

197
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: the world. Were not. This is not normal. It's not

198
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: normal to have breakings into the business. It's not all

199
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: normal to pay thousands and thousands of dollars in damages.

200
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: It is not normal having a gun robbery behind in

201
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: the valley. And uh, my staff and the residence of

202
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: the city and myself included. We care to to work

203
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: the states of Westalios and need disneys to be addressed.

204
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: The second point is the minimum oyage. Minimum wage is

205
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: the highest in the worlds and brings up a lot

206
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: of vmfairness between management and sales depout employees, but also

207
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: overall it's very high cost for a low prostability business

208
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: like me uh to survive and be sustainable.

209
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 5: UH.

210
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: The third point is the permitting process and the accountability

211
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: of the stuff. As every other business. A city also

212
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: shows to evaluate the leaders of each department every three

213
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: or six months, evaluate the timing of paer meeting and

214
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: responses to the residents and businesses, starts up businesses and

215
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: based on that evaluation, either demote them or promote them.

216
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: That's how business works. So those are the mainly the

217
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: three points I wanted to address with them.

218
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's start with the first one, which

219
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: is the main one that's getting attention, and that is

220
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: what's going on on the streets of West Hollywood. I

221
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: mean their responses in the news stories too. I'm sure

222
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: you've seen this. And crime has dropped in West Hollywood

223
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: compared the last year. So you know, some people shrug

224
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: and say, what are you talking about? Crime is down?

225
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: What kind of things are you talking about? You talking

226
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: about actual robberies? You're just talking about homeless people wandering

227
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: in and out and go and berserk.

228
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 3: I'm talking about crime actually robberies, break break into the business,

229
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: break windows, damages to be nesss and neighborhood. And I

230
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: think I know why we don't have so many reports.

231
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: Last year when Mayor Tapey Shine start promoting the defounder

232
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:17,359
Speaker 3: of police movements and reduce reduced the number of deputies,

233
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 3: and the summer of twenty twenty two, of course the

234
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: police officers they were feeling up more reports because they

235
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: were active in showing they they are necessary for the city.

236
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: This time, I can speak from my proper experience, so

237
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: I'm not assume over year I had five times I

238
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: called the police for different issues, and three of these

239
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 3: times I feel a police report. The other two times

240
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: nobody shower because they were understuff to even attend me

241
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: with whatever problem I had. So if I feel a

242
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: report that means was a crime of some type, either

243
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 3: under life mode, breaking wind, damages to the business, it's

244
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: it's many of so many of them, I cannot even

245
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: I need to write a book in order to describe

246
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: you how many issues with their day by.

247
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Day and you had not been dealing with these. I mean,

248
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: you said you've been there for thirty two years. Is

249
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: this really just gotten this worse in the last couple

250
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: of years.

251
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: Yes, after COVID has got worse, we understood that that

252
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: time was maybe because all the health mental health institutions

253
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: JIUS and they open up they include everybody, and just

254
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: to not geest COVID and then the founder of Police Movements,

255
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: political agenta power mayor in running for Congress and ex

256
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: city council member Lindsay Holbach Uh which run for supervisor positions.

257
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: It looks very good, looks like looks very good for

258
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: them agenda. So that's probably the reason. And without thinking

259
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: it too much and.

260
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: Being so, what kind of response is you're getting from

261
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: other business owners and residents now that you've taken this

262
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: very public stance to protest the West Hollywood government's response

263
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: to all this.

264
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: A lot of businesses that joining us yesterday we had

265
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: over one hundred prone calls or support and thanks from

266
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: neighbors with them, the businesses and works of West Valuers Uh.

267
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: They all want to work with us the next city

268
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: Council meeting. And we're going to keep doing this until

269
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: we don't, until we can change. If nothing is gonna happen,

270
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do this until I need to sell my business.

271
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: And that means you're going to continue to shut down

272
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: your business on city council meeting nights so you can

273
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: go there and.

274
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: Compet probably probably if business making a good imp I

275
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: think it's a good message out there. And this I

276
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: cannot operate like this.

277
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: What do you think they should do? Just have more

278
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: law enforcement on the streets or respond to every time

279
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: that you were complaining about the crime or what is

280
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: it they're not doing enough of.

281
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: I think it's bigger than that. The vision is much

282
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: bigger than that. So one thing which is the main issue,

283
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: I believe is the accountability of various agencies well funded

284
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: by our cities. Agencies we don't we don't know any

285
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: contact number, we don't know how they're helping the homeless,

286
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: is how they're helping the crime, how they do any

287
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: of that stuff. So it's not even public them name,

288
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: and we don't understand all of these millions of dollars

289
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: are going. So the accountability of those agencies needs to

290
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: be addressed. That's the first and foremost exactly.

291
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thank you very much for talking to

292
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: me today. I appreciate it. And keep yelling, keep keep

293
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: making noise. They respond, especially media coverage.

294
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you so much for your support, and everybody

295
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: needs to big loud though it is it's not loud

296
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: all right.

297
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: That is the owner of a West Hollywood restaurant. His

298
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: name is Lucian Tudor, and he's making the news because

299
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: he's decided to shut down his restaurant on nights that

300
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: the West Hollywood City Council is meeting, so they can

301
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: go there and win the chance for public comment and

302
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: making their case even louder and louder that enough enough

303
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: is not being done to keep West Hollywood safer. And

304
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: of course we told you that they're the ones that

305
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: cut back on the Sheriff's deputy patrols, although they reinstated that,

306
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: but instead they went with this dopey ambassador program which

307
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: is completely useless. And you earn him also throw in

308
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: and you get a chance to talk about it. West

309
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: Hollywood has like the highest minimum wages in the country.

310
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: That's also tough on the restaurants. We got more coming up.

321
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: at money. We will bring another keyword around two twenty

322
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: for you to win that thousand dollars in kfi's inflation

323
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: compensation contest coming up after two o'clock. Well, San Francisco's

324
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: become the punching bag? Is it in a doom loop?

325
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: Is this the end? Nobody's coming back, Downtown's deserted except

326
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: for the homeless of the drug addicts, the criminals. Is

327
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: it all true? Is it armageddon? A lot of defensive

328
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: postures being taken by San Francisco officials as the write

329
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: ups being done by many media outlets just get worse

330
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: and worse. National Review did one on that mall, the

331
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: Westfield Mall, which apparently is being abandoned by its owner

332
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: and Nordstrom's decided to move out. They were the big

333
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: retailer there. Well, we're gonna do at two oh five

334
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: is talk to somebody in San Francisco, and I can say,

335
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: in the long history of the John and Ken Show,

336
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: we've never had a guest who's described as a former

337
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: drug dealer and now activist. He will join me to

338
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: talk about what's going on there. After the news at

339
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: two o'clock, we turned out to Carl Demayo Reform California,

340
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: and also of course a talk show host in San

341
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: Diego for the latest and the crazy bills in Sacramentos.

342
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: You know, they already passed a phony budget, but there's

343
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: these bills that make their way through and sometimes very quietly,

344
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of media coverage. And this one

345
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: caught our attention. It's an Assembly Bill six six '

346
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: five dealing with removing children from their parents' home. Let's

347
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: bring Karl back on the show and see what we

348
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: can find out more about this. Carl, how are you hey?

349
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me on. Ken.

350
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, tell my listeners what Assembly Bill six six

351
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: five is because it looks outrages on its face.

352
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 5: Oh it is, and I think it should be renumbered

353
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 5: Assembly Bill six because it really is just terrible. So

354
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 5: California already has a very extensive set of laws to

355
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 5: remove children from homes where they're being abused, and we

356
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: all support that because children need to be protected from

357
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 5: bad homes. However, Assembly built six sixty five changes all

358
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: of that. It does two things that are absolutely reckless

359
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 5: and dangerous. First, it eliminates the burden of proof that

360
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 5: the state has to have in order to remove a

361
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 5: child from the home. It says that children. Current law

362
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 5: says children as young as twelve can be removed from

363
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 5: the home and put in a independent living situation, put

364
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 5: in a residential shelter that's also known as a homeless shelter,

365
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: but a residential care of shelter if a licensed psychiatrist

366
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 5: or psychologist or a therapist can make a finding that

367
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 5: number one, at age twelve, they're mature enough, and number two,

368
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 5: that there is a credible finding of danger to the child,

369
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 5: that the child has been abused, molested, or could be

370
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 5: a harm to themselves or others if they remain in

371
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 5: the household some people. Six six five removes that burden

372
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 5: that standard. They don't have to show that at all.

373
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 5: All they have to do is say, hey, the kid's

374
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 5: twelve years old. I think they can live on their own.

375
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 5: That's it. Second, thing that it does is that the

376
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: prior law, as I mentioned, required a licensed therapist, psychologist,

377
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 5: or counselor. The new law would allow a intern or

378
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: trainee to do this as well. And I'm not embellishing

379
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 5: that literally is the standard. As long as the intern

380
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 5: is quote in an agency where there is also another

381
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 5: psychologist who is licensed, the intern or the trainee can

382
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 5: make the decision, sign off on the paperwork and remove

383
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 5: the child. This is absurd, It is an assault on

384
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 5: parental rights, it's dangerous to children. And you know why

385
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: they're doing it, right ken they want to remove children

386
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 5: if they think that the parents aren't going to be

387
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 5: pro LGBT, particularly pro transgender.

388
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 1: Change affirmation movement that's going on.

389
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 5: Is that what you say, absolutely, that is the main

390
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 5: justification they're using as to why they need to do this.

391
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 5: And this is destructive. It's also illegal. I think that

392
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 5: this is going to spawn a bunch of federal lawsuits

393
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: for lack of due process. But also that would require

394
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 5: that someone become victim. So a parent will have to

395
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: be the victim of this law where their child is

396
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 5: taken out their home without their consent at age twelve

397
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 5: or higher. And it's done by an intern or a trainee,

398
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 5: and it's done simply because that person says, yes, this

399
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 5: kid is old enough to live on their own, so

400
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 5: they can explore their their identity, their sexuality, either transgender,

401
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 5: gender bending change. This is not at all justified. It

402
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 5: is dangerous. It's an assault on parents, and we have

403
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: to make sure that everyone knows about it and Kim.

404
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 5: What's so galling about the situation is that the liberal

405
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 5: media refuses to cover this story. This would be a bombshell.

406
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 5: Even Democrat parents I talked to say that this is reckless,

407
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 5: it's offensive, but the media doesn't want to cover it

408
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 5: because they want to give power to these social justice groups.

409
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: That's the It's not a state agency that has to

410
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 5: make this determination. It's any intern or trainee at an agency,

411
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: a social service group, a welfare group, an activist group.

412
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: The LGBT Community Center in San Diego has this sort

413
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 5: of program. So the LGBT Community Center can say, Yep,

414
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 5: we're going to take you out of your parents' home

415
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 5: just on this basis, no burden of proof, no recourse

416
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 5: for the parent.

417
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, this is really shocking, and that's why

418
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you where would this originate.

419
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: That would be one of these child services agencies. But

420
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: now you're saying it's all the way down to a

421
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: trainee who decides, based on the interviews that they conducted,

422
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: that this child would be better off outside the home.

423
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, it's going to be somebody twelve

424
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: plus a child twelve plus twelve plus.

425
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 5: And by the way, they don't even have admit the

426
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 5: finding that they'll be better off. The only finding they

427
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 5: have to make is that, yeah, the kids old enough

428
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 5: to make their own decisions at age twelve, Let's take

429
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 5: them out of the home, put them into a they

430
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 5: call it a residential shelter. Let's call it what it is,

431
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 5: it's a homeless shelter. For guy. Yeah, they're putting them

432
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 5: in a homeless shelter with all of those and you know,

433
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 5: problems and disruption and trauma. The burden of having to

434
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: show that the child is being abused, has been abused,

435
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 5: could could threaten others or threaten themselves. All that is

436
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 5: taken off the plate. You don't have to make those findings.

437
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 5: It's just yep, I think that they're old enough to

438
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 5: make their own decisions that take them out of the

439
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 5: p parents' house.

440
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: And this could be a situation as you've described, where

441
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: maybe a child at school is complaining that, you know,

442
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: I'd rather identify as a female than a male, but

443
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: my parents won't listen to me. This could end up

444
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: with somebody at Child Services as a trainee who could

445
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: get an order to remove that child.

446
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 5: That's really what I think is fueling this. But what's

447
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 5: dangerous about it is while that's what seems to be

448
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 5: the impetus behind this change in law are the LGBT

449
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 5: activist organizations. This could be used for anything. Literally, any

450
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 5: trainee could say, yep, I think you're old enough to

451
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 5: live on your own, let's get yeah of that house.

452
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 5: And look, kids are so young, a.

453
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: Twelve year old living on their own, and they can

454
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: see sixteen or seventeen a twelve year old.

455
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 5: Twelve year old that's what the last fates. Okay, So

456
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 5: that's why this is so galling. That's why it's so dangerous.

457
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 5: And I say, shame on the LA Times, shame on

458
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 5: the networks, the local affiliates for not raising an issue

459
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: with this law. It is extremism, it is anti parent

460
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 5: and it's it's going to get kids hurt and who's

461
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: going to be held accountable? You know, where are our

462
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 5: watchdogs to blow the whistle on this before this law

463
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: gets changed and people make some really bad decisions to

464
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 5: put kids in bad situations.

465
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: Well, how far along is it? Has it passed the

466
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: entire legislature.

467
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 5: So last week when I saw that it passed the Assembly,

468
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 5: I raised the alarm bells. We sent out a blast

469
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: email on Monday of this week alerting Reform California supporters

470
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 5: on our list. It passed last night the state Senate.

471
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 5: So now it's going to go to the Governor's desk and.

472
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: It hasn't been modified.

473
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 5: It has not been modified. No, and so this thing

474
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: is fast tracked to get to the governor to get

475
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 5: signed into law. It would take effect July first, twenty

476
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 5: twenty four, according to the legislative language, so you know,

477
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 5: perhaps we have a year, but still this is a

478
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 5: dangerous law. It is part of a larger set of

479
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 5: extreme policies to undermine parents and to really expose kids

480
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 5: to some bad concepts at a two, at an age

481
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 5: where they're too young to really make good decisions. So

482
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 5: we're hoping by raising the issue with the public, generating

483
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 5: public out cry that maybe Gavin News and we'll tap

484
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 5: the brakes on this. People can get more information by

485
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 5: going to Reform California dot org. That's Reform California dot

486
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 5: org and it's our top story in the breaking news.

487
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: All right, Carl, thank you very much for coming on.

488
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Thank you, Hi, Carl DeMaio talk show hosts

489
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: in San Diego, and of course the head of Reform California,

490
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: Reform California dot org, and they do a good job

491
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: at tracking what's going on in Sacramento with the crazy bills,

492
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: and they come fast and furious. This is Assembly Bill

493
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: six six y five, which can allow the removal of

494
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: a child who was twelve years or older from their parents'

495
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: home without a court order. As Carl said, it could

496
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: just be a training or an intern in some child

497
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: services department who's decided this and living on their own

498
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: at age twelve, even thirteen fourteen. That's seriously sick and dangerous.

499
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: More coming up. Johnny Ken, CAFI AM six forty Live

500
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: Everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

501
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

502
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

503
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Breaking news, though it happened last weekend, Madonna had to

504
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: be rushed to the ICU and intubated. She apparently had

505
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: some sort of bacterial infection, postponing her fortyth that aniversary tour,

506
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: but she's expected to recover John and Ken's show on

507
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app a

508
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: lot to come in the two o'clock hour. We'll kick

509
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: off by talking to a resident of San Francisco. We

510
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: don't do that often, and of course the doom loop

511
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: stories continue to grow. One of the big ones concerned

512
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: the closing of a major and I'm talking a major

513
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: down town San Francisco mall called the Westfield Shopping Mall. Basically,

514
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: it's going to close because its main tenant, Nordstrom, bailed

515
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: out and the owner decided to stop making payments. So

516
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: that means slowly but surely it'll fade away. I think

517
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: that Mayo there was talking about let's build a soccer

518
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: stadium on the site. Anyway, we're going to talk to

519
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: a residence described as a former drug dealer and activist

520
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: about this and more coming up after the News two

521
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: a clock. You'll also have a chance a money kfis

522
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: cash inflation compensation contest continues, So be listening around two

523
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: twenty for the latest keyword, and now it's time to

524
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: beat on a vegan and vegetarians too. And it turns

525
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: out that I apparently do have a slight version of

526
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: this problem. I was told about a year ago when

527
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: I did a doctor's visit, you know, and they take

528
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: your blood. He told me, Eh, the results her show

529
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: that you might be slightly anemic not having it.

530
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: You don't have enough Bee twelve in your body.

531
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: It's iron and iron. When there's not enough oxygen in

532
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: the blood, you can develop symptoms related to anemia. The

533
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: story that's making news though, thirty nine percent of girls

534
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: and women ages twelve to twenty one lack the key

535
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: nutrient of iron, and they do believe it is somewhat

536
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: in part due to the rise of veganism, according to

537
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: this study in the Journal of Medical Association. She's like,

538
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: she's grumbling. Iron, of course is vital and you find

539
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: it in meat.

540
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: Eh.

541
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the first one. Look at that, though, Deborah.

542
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Dark leafy greens. Don't you eat dark.

543
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: Lava greens every day? Beans? Do you have beans all

544
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: the time?

545
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: Here's the one I eat dark chocolate. Oh yeah, I

546
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: do you too, Yeah, you should only go for dark chocolate.

547
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: I've read that can be better for you those Yeah,

548
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: well sugar if you gotta get it, like pure dark chocolate,

549
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: which to me tastes like I don't know y also

550
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: red wine, tofu, and certain cereals, so you probably eat.

551
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 6: I don't eat tofu, but I wonder about the certain

552
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 6: cereals because I like cereal.

553
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: Right.

554
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that's a shocking statistic. That is young girls,

555
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: forty percent of them don't have enough iron, and of

556
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent who were iron deficient, six percent actually

557
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: an iron deficiency anemia. It's a disorder which with a

558
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: blood lacks an adequate amount of healthy red blood cells.

559
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 1: Goes on this story to talk about the symptoms. So

560
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: here we go, Deborah Mark, here are your symptoms.

561
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 6: I get my blood tested for iron every year as

562
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 6: a matter of fact, and I am not iron deficient.

563
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: No, but this is just a warning for other vegans

564
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: in the audience. Yeah, all right, extreme fatigue, weakness, pale skin,

565
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: chest pain, fast heartbeat, short some breath, headache, dizziness, lightheadedness,

566
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: cold hands or feet. Oh you're always cold, I am.

567
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: Oh, I do have a few of those symptoms.

568
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Inflammation, brittle nails, cravings for non food items. This is funny,

569
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: like ice or dirt.

570
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: Oh God, I don't have that.

571
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: You would ever crave dirt? I would love that sounds

572
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: like someone who might be pregnant. John Cy John always

573
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: choose on ice, so I wonder if he's got some,

574
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: although he eats enough red meat that left untreated, you

575
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: can have serious health problems that include possible organ damage.

576
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: Can also resort a heart damage, and so Hart has

577
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: to work harder to make up for the lack of hemoglobin.

578
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: What I like next described it says you're not getting

579
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: enough iron can also lead you susceptible to panic attacks

580
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: as well. That's what I think of you, panic attacks.

581
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 6: I am going to the doctor tomorrow, Ken, and I

582
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 6: am gonna have blood works, and I am really curious

583
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 6: to see how my iron is.

584
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: It's been a year since it's been tested.

585
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Men and women who had iron deficiency anemia were more

586
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: likely to have psychiatric disorders, regardless of other things going

587
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: on in their bodies, and iron deficiencies are particularly dangerous

588
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: for pregnant women. It can actually raise the risk of

589
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: death for both the mother and the child. But Oh yeah.

590
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: When I saw this story and I thought about you

591
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: and all your panics over everything going on in the world.

592
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 6: Well, you were just talking about psychiatric issues, and our

593
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 6: friend Eric Sklar is staring me down.

594
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: Not nice.

595
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't staring you down. I'm just over here editing

596
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: some other stuff while also listening to the show, and

597
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: I heard that part and I just decided to look

598
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: over at the camera and see what your face looked like. Eh.

599
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: It's also a problem because we were talking about younger

600
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: women menstruation could be affected. It says here more than

601
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: a quarter of the girl who hadn't gotten the period

602
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: yet were deficient in iron, and the number of years

603
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: participants had been menstruating was not associated with iron deficiency.

604
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 6: Now this is just vegans and vegetarians in this age.

605
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: Well that's what they tracked it to. But obviously anybody

606
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: can have an iron deficiency. Okay, But they think that

607
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: the numbers have jumped because more and more younger women

608
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: are taking up veganism or vegetarianism and they're not getting

609
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: enough iron in their diet from whatever, because they're just

610
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: not paying enough attention to the things that could give

611
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: them iron that are not meat, like we mentioned the

612
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: dark leafy greens, the beans, dark chocolate, and maybe even

613
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, red wine and certain cereals.

614
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 6: Have a toastata with vegan re fried beams, you'll get

615
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 6: plenty of iron that way.

616
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: That's what I You always have a dish recommendation, but I.

617
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 6: Think it's a delicious recommendation and that will give you

618
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 6: plenty of iron. I have that about once a week.

619
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 6: Black beans.

620
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good. No, I didn't say you.

621
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,080
