The room exploded with anger as 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: protesters realized that Kevin di Leone voted on the proposal 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: from outside the room. Is that right? That's what it says. 7 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: He eventually left the chamber floor, but he stayed in 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: a back quarter room because the voting the chambers voting 9 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: software is set to automatically register each of the fifteen 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: lawmakers as he yes, unless members deliberately press a button 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 1: to say no. Council members can easily register yes votes 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,480 Speaker 1: while outside the rules. Oh wow, Oh so the protesters 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: are out foxed. How about that wins again? Everybody's on 14 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: the same side. We have a state of emergency or homelessness. 15 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Here we go. This was unanim Everybody voted yes, yes, unanimously. 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: You know see, if Mike Bonden was there, he would 17 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: have been the no vote. We might have been, Although, 18 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: how come Garcetti if he got if if Karen Bass 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: got fifteen yes votes immediately, why didn't Garcetti do this 20 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: for nine years? I maybe he'd have an explanation along 21 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: the lines of it's not going to make a difference, 22 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: So that's kind of what. Well, yeah, maybe it's not 23 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: gonna make a difference. That's what it's gonna be. Funny. 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: All might just be for show. We'll have to see 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: all these state of emergency graphics on television that we'll see. 26 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: What does that mean? The Wall Street Journal did a 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: story on it today saying maybe it'll speed up approvals 28 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and cut red tape. Fine by, did you see that 29 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: story in the La Times today about this Cecily hotel? 30 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: The guy, the guy's offering six hundred rooms. Oh, do 31 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: it later. It's it's it's really good. It's well, we'll 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: let's get to see Greg right now. Did you actually 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: read Karen Bass's plan? Did I read the plan? Plangency? 34 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: I remember scanning her plan when she was running for office, 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: and it was well, I was still like the same 36 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: boiler plate stuff. I well, I was told this morning 37 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: I was sitting in on the LA Police Commission weekly meeting. Yes, 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: and Chief More was telling the commission that he was summoned. 39 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: All the department heads were summoned. Yeah, and they were given. 40 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: You know, then Dass laid out the plan and the 41 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: state of emergency and what the plan is going to 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: be and what all the department's responsibilities are going to be. 43 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: But he never did elaborate. So, but apparently there's a plan. 44 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: There's a plan, but I don't know. I thought maybe 45 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: you'd know. No, I don't know. I wasn't summoned to 46 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: the meeting. I mean, you see the plan is get 47 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: more housing. Yeah, Well the plan is, uh, build more, 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: find more. I mean that's supposedly every plan that's ever 49 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: been laid out has not been able to answer the 50 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: simple question, how do you keep them in the houses? 51 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: And how do you keep them in the housing that's 52 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: been provided to them for free? Yes, the problem is 53 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: getting them into the housing. There is some housing out there, 54 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: and that's what that There's a lot of housing out there. Yeah, 55 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: but you people don't want to want don't want to 56 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: use it. They don't want restrictions now, and so it's 57 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: it's about force. It's the thing that nobody wants to 58 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: talk out loud outside of our show. We talk about force, right, 59 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: forcing people into force mental health treatment, forcing them into 60 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: drug treatment force for the softer word conservatorship. But that's well, 61 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: that's force. Yeah. And then even with the new what 62 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: is it, the new care Court. Yes, now that's supposed 63 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: to be a conduit into getting these people into homes 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: and their mental health or mental illness checked. But um, 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: that's the thing that no one's been able to answer to. 66 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: Your point is Okay, great, here here's seventy five thousand rooms, 67 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: but we can't get anyone to go into them. They yeah, 68 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: well they did, they're not They haven't tried to do that. 69 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: They haven't tried to force anybody, which is why they 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: don't talk about Echo Park. Echo Park. They tried, yes, 71 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: And then when I spoke to those a lot of 72 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: those people, and they said, hey, we're told we can't 73 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: drink b I can't bring my pet. See, I can't 74 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: bring my stuff, and I have to be in from 75 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: ten pm to six am every day. Yes, I'm better 76 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: on the streets. That's right. I believe all that. And 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: that's what nobody wants to not wants to address. That's 78 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: why you just have to make all this street living 79 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: illegal and just keep going after them and going after 80 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: them until they get tired of being in Los Angeles, 81 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: and they moved somewhere else, like out in the desert. 82 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: Slab City, slab City, Yeah, John Coblt's slab City. Yeah, 83 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: you know that's Cement, that Cement City out in the 84 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: desert by the Salton Sea, that's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: that's where a lot of them are already home. My 86 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: one of my he was gonna drive a bus there, Steve, 87 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: that was his plan. A bus, favorite bus, said he 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: would he offered to drive a bus, a bus. Well, 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: all right, i'll do. I'll drive the other bus. I'll 90 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: drive an I'll make a one hundred trips out there. 91 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: I go get our listeners, they'll all come. How about 92 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: high speed ray from here to Yeah? How about high 93 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: speed rail? You know what? I flew to San Francisco 94 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: on what was it Sunday, and there was a three 95 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: hour plane delay, three hour plane delay, and by time 96 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: I got to my destination, I could have driven this right. 97 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking if there was only high speed rail 98 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: that would get me there in two hours and forty minutes. Yeah. Oh, 99 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: but they never built it, did they. Well they built 100 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: some of it, not actual track. It was some concrete stuff. Yeah, 101 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: I know, pillars pillars. Yeah, they're concrete stonehenge pillars. Yeah, 102 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: they're using them for skateboard parks. Now, okay, all right, 103 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: well Steve is actually here to talk about coyotes and 104 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: mountain lions. That's right. So I was on a very 105 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: um last minute thrown together press briefing virtual press briefing 106 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: with the California Department of Fishing Wildlife in which they 107 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: did outline what's been going on with P twenty two, 108 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: the lion that's been in the news lately. But first, 109 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, we're talking about coyotes, and I'll play you 110 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: this one and this will be ed b Eric. But 111 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: the issue now with coyotes coming closer down in the 112 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: urban interface, it seems as though, and at least that 113 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: was my question to the state vets and the National 114 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: Park Service, why are these coyotes seem to be more aggressive? 115 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: Why are they you know, they're grabbing children out of driveways? 116 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: And I mean, is this an unusual behavior? And this 117 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: is their response. We have sort of cyclic I think, 118 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: periods of time where for some reason animals will maybe 119 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: encounter people and act more aggressively with people at times. 120 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: The drought certainly has affected that, but In general, I 121 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: would say that we have not seen major changes in 122 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: animal behavior recently. This is just typical of what animals do. 123 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: And also the fact that we are living in closer 124 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: proximity to animals and people are getting out doors more 125 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: and interacting in their space, and so I think that's 126 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: part of the reason why we're seeing more activity like 127 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: that than we have in the past. So uh, this 128 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: this the coyotes attacking the chihuahuas, grabbing the child, It's 129 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: all normal. I see on the next Star app it 130 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: seems like coyote and mountain lion sightings have replaced criminal 131 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: activity among the neighbor's interests. There's more video that they're posting. Yeah, 132 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: but the bad stuff and no go ahead, no, no, 133 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: you go no, it's gonna say. The key to that, though, 134 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: is whether or not the mountain lions and coyotes will 135 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: be prosecuted. Nobody gets prosecuted, no species gets prosecuted. In California, 136 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 1: and with my own eyes and plus the news stories, 137 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: because there was a mountain lion loose, you know, in 138 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: San Via Sande Boulevard right went right to my grocery store, 139 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: was in the parking lot of the grocery store. That's right. 140 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: And I've seen them in the neighbor. I've seen more 141 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: coyotes in the neighbor. I see them driving around, especially 142 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: early in the morning. That's when they're running on people's 143 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: lawns and jumping over fences. So it looks like it 144 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: the neighbors think so, and then you have this has 145 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: got enough TIXTI, this is just normal life. Well here's 146 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: the thing. So they said also that it was more 147 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: of an extension from the pandemic because we remember no 148 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: one was going out. There wasn't a lot of human 149 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: activity outdoors. Yeah, so the coyotes were coming down in 150 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: there because there was there was there were fewer people 151 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: out and about how to disturb them, and they got 152 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: used to being there, They got used to being closer. 153 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: So they're probably reproduced and they're coming down here. And 154 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: then as you heard, that was ed Pert, a regional 155 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: manager for the force or excuse me, fish and wildlife 156 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: and either the drought is a big part of it, 157 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: because the drought means there's no foliage, means there's no 158 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: other smaller wildlife to eat, so that's forcing them to 159 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: come down in the urban and children children, Yeah, but 160 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: if you want, I've got the from p. Twenty two. 161 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: It's interesting stuff. On twenty two twenty two is the 162 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: mountain line, the celebrity mountain lion and the Griffith Park area. 163 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: Steve Gregory's with us John and Ken k IF I 164 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio. Even the mountain 165 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: lions are celebrities around here.

There were 174 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: forty seven media outlets on this call from all over 175 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: the world. All of the world. You know, well, because 176 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: all the photos are the videos lately of mountain lions 177 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: running them up in the streets, coyote eating, are going 178 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: after that child mountain lion eating at Chihuahua. TMZ was 179 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,359 Speaker 1: on that call. Yea, yeah, I was like, what Reuters 180 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: TMS said, shark attacks in the ocean. People love this 181 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: celebrity mountain. I just got that. Oh okay, So this 182 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: was interesting because Ed Park, the guy who heard from 183 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: in the last segment, you know, he was asked a question, well, 184 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: why did you have to grab P twenty two? Why 185 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: did you have to get him? So here in ed 186 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: A this is ed Party explaining why they finally had 187 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: to snag him. The reason is that P twenty two's 188 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: behavior has really changed recently compared to his historic behavior. 189 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: For example, he's been over the past month or a 190 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: little bit more found not only chasing dogs, but chasing 191 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: and attacking dogs on leash with people nearby. That's something 192 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: that's never been seen in the ten years that he's 193 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: been tracked by the National Park Service. He's also been 194 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: spending more time in urban areas and going deeper into 195 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: those urban areas such as Los Felice and Silver Lake, 196 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: which he didn't do historically. Then so they got him, 197 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: they subdued him. We're gonna question to him, will he 198 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: be interrogate? Is he on bail? I mean you have 199 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: a no bail policy. He's actually in pretty bad shade. 200 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: Let's go to a diversion program. Did he get beat 201 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: up by the Here's Diana Clifford. She is a State 202 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: of California veterinarian, and she explains his condition. The initial 203 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: examination was performed yesterday and it showed that P. Twenty 204 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: two is significantly underweight. Um, he's got a thing fur 205 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: coat and he has a right eye injury that's most 206 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: consistent with recent vehicular trauma. He was given fluids with 207 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: vitamins to correct dehydration, anti inflammatory and antibiotic medications for 208 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: the eye trauma, and anti parasite medications. He has mange 209 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: mange and what is me? Mange is like a skin 210 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: uh like infection for skins. Yeah, fur falls off and 211 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: you get mites might burrowed down into your don't think 212 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: the urban interface is working for him, So that that's 213 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: the he must be hanging around at a homeless encampment. 214 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: He caught all kinds of stuff, so that that that's 215 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: the parasitical medicine is to fight the main right and yeah, 216 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: because it's uh. And then here's the sad part. They 217 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: said they're gonna watch him for a few days and 218 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: just keep their waiting for some more tests comeback. If 219 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: he does not improve, they will euthanize him. Oh no, 220 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: because there's not much left they can do. Well, I mean, 221 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: so he has to heal that fast and if he's 222 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: gonna after but he's not gonna be able to survive 223 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: in the wild. And they and if he if he 224 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: doesn't get any better, gain any weight, get any muscle 225 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: toned back, and the mains doesn't you know, if the 226 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: infections are too deep. And they just said if he's 227 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: in the eye, you know, because they also had to 228 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: give some medication because they were afraid the eye was infected. 229 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: They got hit by a car that looks like, yeah, 230 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: it was consistent with what's vehicular trauma. Yeah. Yeah, So 231 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: he's in pretty bad shape. And that's why they said 232 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: his behavior was so unusual. Because if they take him 233 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: to a place, you know, where like would be less urban, Yeah, 234 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: like Mountain Lion hospice, Well, I just somewhere out there, 235 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: And why don't they feed him a few extra chouabas 236 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: like the Antelist National Forest way out there. See, if 237 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: you build a ya, he wouldn't be able to defend himself. Oh, 238 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: and beside himself against what he's older. He's much older. 239 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: They said, he's an older other other mountain lions, other 240 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: mountain other guys will will attack him. Yeah. So yeah, 241 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: they just said that their protocol is to watch and observe. 242 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: And then they said they're also watching a P nineteen, 243 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: which is a younger female mountain lion, so that they're 244 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to see because they were comparing behaviors between 245 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: all the mountain lions, and this mountain lion is very 246 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: well tracked and traced. They said they were able to 247 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: get rain footage, surveillance camera footage, the electronic collar that 248 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: he's been wearing, and they were able to put together 249 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: pretty good profile and behavior. How old is he is 250 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: he near the end of his life cycle? Yeah, they said, um, 251 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: well they've been watching for ten years and the I 252 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: think he's been around for twenty close to twenty years, 253 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: and that's old for amount, very old for a mountain. 254 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: Oh well, you know then you gotta understand, right depa market, 255 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: maybe it's time. I'm okay if they if they do 256 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: it in a night, they euthanize him. Yeah, I mean, look, 257 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: we put our dogs down when the dogs are sick. 258 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: That's that's a humane way to go. And I understand 259 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: that he's old, he's sick, and if you can't defend himself, 260 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: then absolutely that's okay. Because I was gonna say, is 261 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: there another urban area they could take him too, because 262 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: he's the Griffith Park area right p. Twenty two. Yeah, 263 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: but if he's suffering, then I'm okay. He's old, so 264 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm okay with him putting him out of his misery. 265 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: We took him. It's okay. I don't know. Are people 266 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: you're talking about people now? Mount I think, well, no, 267 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to get into that, so forget it. 268 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: That allowed to get into persons.

He 331 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to jail because he's being kept 332 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: in a prison that's not known for it's a nice accommodation. 333 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: Difficult to be a vegan in prison, apparently. Uh, yes, 334 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: keep that in mind. That's the reason for bail. You 335 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: stay straight, no crime, share vegan food. Here's here's the headline. 336 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: It's in the Daily Mail. Bankman Freed begs Bahamas judge 337 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: to grant him bail because he's too depressed and vegan 338 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: for jail. And they've also found that he hid three 339 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in a Brazilian company right before for bankruptcy. 340 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: Let's go through the official charges, because we learned at 341 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,719 Speaker 1: this time yesterday that he was under arrest in the Vahamas. 342 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: He was indicted by a federal grand jury in the 343 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: Southern District of New York eight counts conspiracy to commit 344 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: wire fraud on customers, wire fraud on customers, wire fraud 345 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: on lenders, wire fraud, what is old commodities fraud, conspiracy 346 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: to commit securities fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to defraud 347 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: the United States and violate the campaign finance laws. Hundred 348 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: fifteen years in prison. Basically, they're looking at this guy 349 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: as a grifter that he basically was running a Ponzi 350 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: scheme where he would take all this money from the 351 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: depositors and he would use it for this terrible company 352 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: that went belly up, and then also to fund political 353 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: campaigns and a lavish lifestyle with a big bank apartments. 354 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: Here's the deal. He talked woke, right, and he gave 355 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: a lot of money to Democrats who have been in charge. 356 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: And he thought that if he talked woke, he'd end 357 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: up with a shield of sorts, like a social shield, 358 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: that nobody would think bad of him, and they would 359 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: give him a break if they heard of any any 360 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: any rumors. Right. And secondly, he's paying off politicians, figuring 361 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: that they would look the other way when it came 362 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: time to investigate, Right, they'd squash any investigations coming out 363 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice or any congressional hearings. That's 364 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 1: what he was paying them for, in addition to having 365 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: no regulations on the crypto industry. And he figured so. 366 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: So of course you know he was. He was. He 367 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: was hosting all these great democratic leaders because he gave 368 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: so much money. He was number two on the Democrats list, 369 00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: second to George Soros. Sec said that he raised more 370 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: than one point eight billion dollars from equity investors since 371 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: he founded FTX in May of twenty nineteen, and orchestrated 372 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: a years long fraud to conceal diversion of their funds 373 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: to that company. Alameda Research. It's a hedge fund was 374 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: started by his former girlfriend and they went belly up. 375 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: He took us. They took a lot of the money 376 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: from FDx. Well you can see it just dominoed over. Yeah, 377 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: that's that's the money laundring. He took the money in 378 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: deposits from FTX or in investments, and then they moved 379 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: it over to the other company, and they moved it 380 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: back and forth. I read last night a piece by 381 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: a guy who's been very skeptical of the crypto industry, 382 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: whose opinion was, all this crypto stuff is worth absolutely nothing, 383 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 1: and he gave an example of how some of these 384 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: guys are doing it, you know, because there's hundreds of 385 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: these so called crypto coins. Let's say we had the 386 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: John in Ken company, right, and we created the john 387 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: and Ken coin, a cryptocurrency. He says, that is nothing 388 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: more than computer code. He goes, so you create some 389 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: computer code and you call it a crypto coin, and 390 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: then I John sell it to you, and then you 391 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: sell it back to me, and then I sell it 392 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: to you, and you sell it back to me, and 393 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: we always pay an increasing price. Now people attract this stuff. 394 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: You're saying, oh my god, the price of the Johnny 395 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: Ken coin is going up, and up it up. I 396 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: want to get in on that, or you know, you 397 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: sell it the pyramid scheme, right, or you sell it 398 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: to the John and Ken Company and the Johnny Kin company. 399 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: Then and you just you just keep doing it, and 400 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: suddenly you've created a buzz and you start going online 401 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: and you start pumping it up on Reddit, and you 402 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: start pumping it up on all the social media Chaine 403 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: and people are going, oh, this is the hot coin. 404 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: You gotta bet on this. You gotta better. You're gonna 405 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: make some money, and you will if you're in early 406 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: enough before the Ponzi scheme runs out of today until 407 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: the day comes and people start cashing out their coins 408 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: and everything collapses. Okay, but go back to the beginning. 409 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: What was it? It was computer code. It wasn't a coin, 410 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't currency, It wasn't anything. It's not even apples 411 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: or lemons. Right. You can take those to the market 412 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: and trade those. You can't. You can't take this this 413 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: invented computer code, fake currency and trade it for anything, 414 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: at least not for too long. He was supposed to 415 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: testify before a House committee today. That was the big 416 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: story the other day until he got arrested yesterday. Forbes 417 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: has gotten a hold of what he was going to say, 418 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: and here is the first part of what he was 419 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: going to say to the House Committee. I would like 420 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: to start by formerly stating under oath, I fed up. 421 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: It's actually in the transcript. Yeah, that's with the word. 422 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: Do you notice people are dropping F bombs in public 423 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: now routinely, like there's no no hesitation anymore. Well, then 424 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: maybe that'll take away the shock of it eventually, though. Yeah, 425 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: just be another word in the conversation. He's been arbitrary. 426 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: Last year, my net worth was valued at twenty billion dollars. Today, 427 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: I would be wrong to say that I have nothing. 428 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: I have a loving family, food on my plate. He's 429 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: lying vegan food. He hit the money, he sent three 430 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: hundred million to Brazil. Well, I haven't gotten to that 431 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: part yet. Yeah, but I'm just basically saying he did 432 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. He's making it sound like this is all 433 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: just a sad mistake. Well, when you're facing one hundred 434 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: and fifteen years in prison, what are you gonna say. 435 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: You're gonna say, nah, I'm just a bumbling fool. Right. 436 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: For years, he passed himself off as a great crypto genius, 437 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: who could see things nobody else could see. Now it's 438 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: why I'm a real screw up R and I ooh, 439 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm a sad sack. Yeah right. The CEO of FTX 440 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: now is John Ray, the third, who's handling this just 441 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: for the bankruptcy. He did testify today and he said 442 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: the top executive, including Sam bankman Free, just gambled with 443 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: customers money. They did not protect any of their investments. 444 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: They were grossly inexperienced. But to me, I think they 445 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: knew that they were. I mean, he was probably thinking, well, 446 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: I'll just take this money and put it in my 447 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: hedge fund, and when that's worth many many more billions, 448 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, I can just put the money back because 449 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: then the hedge fund we'll be able to run itself. 450 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: That's usually how these guys think that I'll just borrow 451 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: the money for now and I can replace it later. 452 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: It's just a small loan. In a year or two, 453 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: I'll put it all back and maybe even more. But 454 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: then it doesn't. If it doesn't go that way, you're screwed. 455 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: They bought a lot of property there. His parents bought 456 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: property in the Bahamas, expensive property. The whole family was 457 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: in on it. The dad was working the Stanford people. Yeah, 458 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: these two elite, well respected longtime Stanford professors, Mom and dad. 459 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: They were in on the whole thing and spending Bidge. 460 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: In late twenty twenty one, FTX did shelling out roughly 461 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: five billion dollars on an array of businesses and investments 462 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: that may only be worth a fraction of what was 463 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: paid for them. Now that's why they're so screwed over. 464 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: But he did it on purpose, and and and and 465 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: and didn't didn't care and probably wasn't paying attention because 466 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: he was full of his own his own arrogance. Yeah, 467 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: but he's a cruk and he's caught, and he's going 468 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: to go to prison, and I think they're gonna spend 469 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: you know what this is like a crypto Bernie made off. Yeah, 470 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: well this this new CEO said, there's there He's never 471 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: been in a situation where there was a complete lack 472 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: of records. There's no records on where the money went. 473 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: Now that's what he said. They were. There was near 474 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: zero record keeping from the company. You know, last time 475 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: I heard that is when they did the auto of 476 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: the high speed rail and the auditor said there was 477 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: there was very little record keeping, and and and millions 478 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: of dollars have disappeared and he doesn't know where. And 479 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: that story lasted about eight minutes. Yeah, and nobody covered it. 480 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: I think this guy said a couple of weeks ago 481 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: that they sometimes signed off with things with emojis. That 482 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: was basically their approval system emoji. They used emojis to 483 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: approve payments. An awful era. Honestly, this entire era needs 484 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: to be put in a coffin. Oh yeah, yeah, emogs. 485 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: We got more coming up, John and Ken caf I 486 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: am six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. Oh that 487 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: great news that came out of a laboratory in Livermore, 488 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: California is our subject at four oh five with Alex Stone, 489 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: ABC News for KFI about the possibilities of getting clean 490 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: energy abundant amounts in the future.

I'm looking on my screens here 495 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: at two completely not completely different, but very different versions 496 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: of a story covered last week involving the president of 497 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: the Claremont Unified Board of Education. His name is Steve Lanosa. 498 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: He has resigned. He's resigned because parents accused him of 499 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: having members of a high school choir attend a private 500 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: Christmas party that included alcohol, shirtless mail entertainers and now 501 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: this new edition a dirty Santa, as in Santa was 502 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: unclean in some way. I think the idea was that 503 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: he would make inappropriate comments. Oh, the dirty Santa was 504 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: kind of like the dirty old man. Oh not just 505 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: on the wash Santa, not a homeless guy. I see, 506 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of those. Yes, this was a party 507 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: that was at December third. Students were at the party 508 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: for about an hour before their performance, and during the 509 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: time witnessed the dirty Santa who made inappropriate comments, as 510 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: well as the shirtless mail entertainers. One parent told Channel 511 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: two that some of the students were offered an open 512 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: bar and that Santa at the party made disgusting comments 513 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: to our kids. A parent also backed that up. Students 514 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: were offered alcohol by the guests. All right, so they're 515 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 1: trying to get the kids drunk. They got a Santa 516 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: Claus there who says, speaking a dirty sexual. Well, now 517 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: let me throw the dynamite into the room. Lenosa is gay. 518 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: They were shirtless men? Shirtless men? Yeah, yeah, probably that's 519 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: a clue. In fact, and Scott Wiener attended it's actually true. 520 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: Just according to red state dot Com, State Senator Scott Weiner, A, 521 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: I don't think generally straight guys hire shirtless men to 522 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: entertain at their Christmas parties. I can't think of one 523 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: that I've attended. If you're having a Christmas party with 524 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: friends and couples over, you don't bring in any shirtless people, 525 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: men or women. I don't think. I. I mean, apparently 526 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: he's been known for this, especially of having these kind 527 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: of rowdy part but especially especially when children are coming, 528 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: high school kids. I guess yeah, because the other story 529 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm reading about is you know this, uh well, people 530 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: are outraged because this looks like some form of grooming. 531 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: That's the big word now that the right uses to 532 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: trying to accuse gay people to under Well, well, you've 533 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: got shirtless men, you've got booze being fed to high 534 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: school kids, you got an authority figure like a school 535 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: board president orchestrating. I mean it's hard not to see. 536 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: You think a grooming situation. Even I have your parties, 537 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: but don't bring in high school choir members. What's wrong 538 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: with you? Lest that's what he's into. It was that 539 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: the idea though that they were going to come and sing. 540 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: They were part of the entertainment because they were the 541 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: choir members. They would sing the holiday songs if if. 542 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: But then it got out of control because everybody was drunk. 543 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: If you have shirtless guys and you're you're trying to 544 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: get high school kids drunk, what do you think the 545 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: intent is? I mean, take it to the next step. 546 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: Why would you do that? You create a sexual atmosphere. 547 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: Santa's talking dirty. You have these hot looking men without 548 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: their shirts. You got these high school kids who are 549 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: in a subservient position, and you're feeding them alcohol. What 550 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: is where are you going with this? What is it 551 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: you want at the end of the night. Yeah, some 552 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: of the parents, I mean he's resigned, he's gone. Oh 553 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: the parents got reelected. Now he's out. Parents should be 554 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: furious and they have every right to suspect the worst. 555 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: It also does notne look like any school board members 556 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: or any Claremont school personnel attended this party. It was 557 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: a party of the choir members and I don't know, 558 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: some friends of Lenos's and these dirty Santa and the 559 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: short Oh so there were no parents there. There weren't 560 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: other board members there. No, it says here doesn't board 561 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: members attended? And I thought this was a party for all, 562 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, for guy from the school parsonnel, school personnel. Right. Oh, 563 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: so that's what I'm reading here. It's not a peer 564 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: that they attended anybody. No teachers and no other administrators 565 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: and no school board members. There's a there's a new 566 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: light on it. Let's see, all right, So now you 567 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: have no parents, you have no other school teachers or administrators. 568 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: You just have him and his half naked men and 569 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: the Santa talk and dirty and a lot of booze 570 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: and high school kids. High school kids in a choir. 571 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean there could have been quote parents there, but 572 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: they were not school teachers or administrators or school board writers. 573 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: Maybe he's got just friends and enjoy these parties. There 574 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: are some adults there, so again you're getting the kids 575 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: drunk and you create a sexualized atmosphere. You got the 576 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: boozem what do you think the goal line is? And 577 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: Scott Wiener's there, here's what one parents said. The kids 578 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: believe they were going there for a short performance to 579 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: help raise money for their program. Instead, they were made 580 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: to wait for well over an hour and angled with 581 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: drunk adults hitting aroma while offering alcohol numerous times. And 582 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: the kids are misled and they're doing a hard sell 583 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: on the alcohol. You don't do that just for fun, 584 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, that's really risky. What's but there might be 585 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: a payoff at the end. What could the payoff be? Oh, 586 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. Just you know, laying out the dots. 587 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 1: You can draw your own conclusions, all right. When we return, 588 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: we'll be talking to Alex Stone, ABC News for KFI 589 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: about this big announcement today out of a laboratory up 590 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: in Livermore, California, that's the East Bay area, about a 591 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: breakthrough when it comes to fusion research. Well, that sounds 592 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: kind of bizarre and much from the physics world. It's 593 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: important because it could be a game changer in the 594 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: world of energy sources.
