1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Well, happy Giving Tuesday. I knew you were going to

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: start with that. I felt it when I was driving here.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: The first thing he's gonna say is he's going to

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: carry on about giving Tuesday. Yes, I've penetrated all the

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: way into your consciousness. You're driving along thinking about what

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna rag you with. Good although we've got something

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: you should give to today. By the way, I found

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: that it's ten years old. This thing. Oh, you know,

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: it's just all. I didn't know that. I thought it

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: was only the last couple of years. You know, you

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: know what it means. I got about fifty two junk

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: emails solicitations, so did I. Everybody begging for money. It's

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: like I started unsubscribing to everything this morning. It's like, okay,

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: now you crossed the line. That's right. You hit me

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: with that. I'll never donate to your charity. That's right.

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Every organization that I ever visited, or ever filled out

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: a form for, or anything I ever attended. Everybody wanted

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: money today. And it's like, you know what, unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe,

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: You're done. I do not have to be prompted to

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: give to charity. I give what I want, and I

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: give generously. You have to be beaten to give to

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: charity me. Oh my god, let's compare you get well,

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: a lot of the charities are scams, so you can

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: always say that that's true. It's often, yes it is true,

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: but yes, you're right. Today is the big postathon day,

26
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: although the postathon continues and you can continue donating and

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: visiting Wendays through Sunday. But yes, tell them about it. Well,

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't have my sheet in front of me because

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't know where it went the way you said that.

30
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: I thought you had it. Oh, Bruno's gonna be on

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: at five o'clock. That's all you need to know. It's

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: the twelfth annual even it's even longer on the air

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: then giving Tuesday. I knew it. That's right, we were giving,

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: We were that's right. We were doing this before giving

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: to a legitimate charity that you can trust. All right,

00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: And I know Deborah Mark is disappointed that we're not

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: there in person, So John can put on a two

51
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: tube I know, a robe. Why aren't we there in

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: person and eat frog's legs or fake meat. Yeah, I'm

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: just recapping something. The last than we did wear a

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: Leopard robe. I still have all that stuff and you're

55
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: all invited over realize John. She was so into this.

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: She'd come to with ideas and she'd do all the shopping. Yeah,

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: it was fun. It was like I was a doll dress,

58
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: so you're the little dress up thing. Yeah, yeah, I

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: don't know what we would have done this year, but

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: I did. I did, I did. But yeah, unfortunately I

61
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: didn't get the chance to make it a reality. I'm

62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: sure sometime in the future you'll be able to dress

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: me up again. Yeah. I had an idea where he

64
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: would dress up as Jeffrey Dahmer and chase a chicken

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: around the restaurant to kill it. So I don't think

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: I would have went to well with you. That would

67
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: that would bring. I wouldn't know well that would do.

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: That would be terrible. Actually, you know, you don't know.

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: With our audience, we probably would take an m I

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: was gonna say, that could be a biggie. That would

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: be a viral video. You would have that maniacal look

72
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: on your face. Uh. The the US one. They won

73
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: the World Cup soccer match over a run. I want

74
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: to be ignorant, say the game? The game? Did they

75
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: and you say one nil? You don't say one nothing?

76
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: It's one nil? No, but yeah, sorry, British pompous people

77
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: do that. Actually heard it a news and answer go

78
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: and the score was one nil. It's like a stop it.

79
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: You're in America. We want to conform. No one even

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: knows what nil means we beat those evil Iranians. Now,

81
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: did they shoot any other players? Yeah, we're going to

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: talk about that story because Iran apparently, well here's what's

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: been going on. Obviously, there's turmoil in Iran. I think

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: there always is, but I mean, going back to the hostage,

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: everybody's always unhappy, yes, but of course it's been more

86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: than usual this year because they took a woman in

87
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: the police did because she wasn't wearing the proper clothing

88
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: and the covering up, improper wearing of a he job,

89
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: the improper wearing of a heat job. It's in the code,

90
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: and she died in police custom. Your name was Marsha Amini,

91
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: twenty two years old. She isn't the only story, but

92
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: she's the one that was kind of the catalyst for

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: protests that have been going on in Iran since then.

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: And things got even more interesting when apparently the US

95
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: Soccer changed the Iranian logo, well the flag. Yeah, they

96
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: erased a symbol on the flag that represented God and

97
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: it didn't also represent then the uprising that overthrew the

98
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: shaw or something like that or when I don't know

99
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: I saw that interpretation. Maybe there's maybe there's others Well,

100
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: players did not sing the national anthem in their first

101
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: match against England the other day. So what the apparently

102
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: what happened was the families have been threatened, um with

103
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: These are reports coming from many sources that says that

104
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: the families of the players were told that the players

105
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: act up at the next match, which is the match

106
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: today against US, you could be subject to imprisonment and torture.

107
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: That was just for protesting or not singing the anthem

108
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: or any any kind of display. What if it would

109
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: be considered anti country? How about losing? The players were

110
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: called to a meeting with members of the Iranian Revolutionary

111
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: Guard Corps. I remember them, Remember the Iranian Revolutionary That's

112
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 1: a great pregame meeting. Huh, no distractions before the game,

113
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: And they were told if they did not sing the

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: national anthem, or if they joined any political protest against

115
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: the regime, their families would face violence and torture. Because obviously,

116
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: since the players are in cutter might be more difficult

117
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: to pummel them, but their families are vulnerable sure back

118
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: in Iran, and we know I live. I think, boy,

119
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: I think I would I'd defect. Of course, if you

120
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: defect your your family gets it. But if you're not

121
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: too keen on your family, might as well go for it.

122
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: Apparently dozens of the Revolutionary Guard are there. They're making

123
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: sure the Iranian players do not mingle outside the squad

124
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: or meet with foreigners. They all did sing the anthem

125
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: at the second match against Wales, so it looks like

126
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: they're already in line following that display during the first encounter. Meantime,

127
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is still working in a way to

128
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: give Iran's government access to nuclear capabilities. Oh are they Yeah,

129
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: they're still working on that treaty that was Obama was

130
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, damas Trump pulled the plug on it,

131
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: and the Biden's cruise been spanning two years trying to renegotiate.

132
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Israelis like the fact that Iran

133
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: might have nukes because they're they're claiming it's just to

134
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: create energy, and everybody knows, you know, it's to create

135
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: a bomb and drop it on Israel. So oh, and

136
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: we have this apparently, and it was really funny about this.

137
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the video. This is from c Span

138
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: and Biden was there some event. There's all these dopey

139
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: photographers standing around him with their cameras looking like something

140
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: out of the nineteen eighties. Well, click click, click, click,

141
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: click on click just to get a picture of Biden. Well,

142
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: the pictures of him online, No, there aren't they. I don't.

143
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: I think he doesn't appear because he's like shockingly old

144
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: and weird looking. That's right, his spirit show so he

145
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: doesn't show up on photographs. So, um, I guess after

146
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: this victory by the US was final. If you see

147
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: the video, you'll see it. We obviously can't do this

148
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: with radio, but Biden actually rushes to the microphone to

149
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: make the announcement as soon as he can. Here's what

150
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: it sounded like. Always said zero, USA, USA, that's a

151
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: big game. Man. Well, I spoke to the coach and

152
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: the players. I said, you can do this. Say what

153
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I anna? They did it. God love him. Anyway, I

154
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: just thought you might want to hear uh. He literally

155
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: did run though he's kind of pushing his way past

156
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: people to get to the microphone kind of. I was

157
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: moving faster than anybody normally would say a statement. He's

158
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: gonna have to nap for the rest of the day.

159
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: But did anybody tell him that that's kind of a no, no,

160
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: that's a Trump chant. Remember the Trump rallies USA. Right, Yeah, anyway,

161
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: I just thought you might want to hear. Yeah, I

162
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't have them do that at your events. Yeah, it

163
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: sounds to Trump like you know what, and he's gloating,

164
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: and that's gonna just be that's gonna be more trouble

165
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: for the Iranian soccer players. Think Gyatola about to see

166
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: that on his TV set. That's a big game. Man,

167
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: heads are gonna roll when we come back. We're going

168
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: to talk about the country hosting the World Cup. Cutter.

169
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: There a lot of questions about how they managed to

170
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: pull that off. But they're out and they performed perhaps

171
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: the world ever of a host nation in the World Cup.

172
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: Oh well, but to put together these stadiums and everything

173
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: else that went along with the getting the World Cup

174
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: ready for the world stage, hundreds died. Yes, isn't it?

175
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing? We're going to talk about this story.

176
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: It's a really brutal countries. Really, that is a brutal regime.

177
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean just the whole region there. Yeah, well, but everybody,

178
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: everybody sucks up because they've got half the oil in

179
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: the world and apparently it was a lot of migrant labor. Oh, sure, disposable.

180
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that edmore coming up, John and Ken

181
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: kf I am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. Well,

182
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: we're discussing the World Cup is of course being held

183
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: in the nation of Cutter in the in the Middle East.

184
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: This is the first time the World Cup finals have

185
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: been in the Arab world. And they were awarded the

186
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: games in the year twenty ten, so they had a

187
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: little time to prepare twelve years and they built all

188
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: the stadiums. You might be surprised to know that Cutter

189
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: is ninety percent migrant foreigners. I didn't know that. I

190
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: just saw that the story. Well, to work in the

191
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: oil industry, yes, I mean that that climate is horrific there. Yeah,

192
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: it's not really overall things. I don't think that's a

193
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: place that people would naturally settle, But there's so much

194
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: oil that I guess they've attracted a lot of workers.

195
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: Did you see what they made the stadiums out of. No, Oh,

196
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: they made them out of cargo containers. That's resing to

197
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: the max. Yeah. The one match that I watched was

198
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Poland in Mexico and it held seven thousand people the

199
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: stadium seven maybe more than that, I forget, but the

200
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: entire stadium was made of cargo containers, and yeah, they've

201
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: they've had hundreds of people die putting these stadium together. Well,

202
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: there were higher estimates than that. I'm looking at a

203
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: couple of stories in the New York Times, where you know,

204
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: these human rights organizations say, actually, four thousand to five

205
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: thousand people probably died today. An official with the government

206
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: of Cutter came up with a number of four hundred

207
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: to five hundred deaths, not all of them job related.

208
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: There was even a COVID death in there, a heart attack.

209
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: It was just a total aggregate figure. But it's the

210
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: first time any official and Cutter as admitted the deaths

211
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,119
Speaker 1: of the workers. I'm looking at a story about the migration.

212
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: You know what country sends a lot of workers to

213
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabian Cutter. It's Nepal. One hundred and eighty five

214
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: thousand workers apparently in the year ending in July of

215
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one migrated from Nepal to Cutter to work.

216
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: So that was a big part of the far and

217
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: migration people that were working on them. Yeah, that's on

218
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: the build up Nepal's in South Asia. Yes, I know,

219
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: there's eight billion people in the world and billions of

220
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: them are very poor, and so migrants comprise eighty five

221
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: percent of Nepal's population of just under three million people,

222
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: and in that country, employers hold all the power. It says,

223
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: here's so valuable of the jobs that even migrant labor

224
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: activists and Nepaul admit that they sometimes fear they're pushing

225
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: too hard for reforms because this is just you know,

226
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: just like people come to the United States to send

227
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: money back home, this is what apparently people in Nepal do.

228
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: But at least twenty one hundred Napoli workers have died

229
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: and cut her since twenty ten, according to data collected

230
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: by Nepal's labor ministry. It says here it was everything

231
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: from premature heart attacks to unexplained heat related health problem.

232
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: The unexplained heat related because there's one hundred and twenty

233
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: degrees they all had a heat stroke and died. You

234
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: know what what what Napolei official called it environmental disadaptation.

235
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: That's what they referred to a people that died of

236
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: heat related health problems. It's adaptation. Yeah, because they don't

237
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: come from Cutter. They moved there and their body could

238
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: not adapt to the climate and they died, so we

239
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: call it disadaptation. So they're funny like that for fancy, uh,

240
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: for for a fancy way to explain we murdered them. Uh.

241
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: There have been murdered by working conditions. Two hundred suicides

242
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: of napoly migrant workers and Cutter. Wow. Yeah, I'm sure

243
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: the food's atrocious, the accommodations are horrible. Yeah, And I

244
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: misspoke on the capacity for the stadium. It was it

245
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: was forty four thousand plus. Yeah, I think it was

246
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: a bigger than that, pretty good sized stadium, and it

247
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: was all with cargo containers, all with the slave labor,

248
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: that's what it was, slave labor. And then if you died,

249
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: you died. They probably just shove you out to an

250
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: open grave and the desute off the line and bring

251
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: in the next guy. Right. Yeah. Yeah. The doctor in Cutter,

252
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: or rather in Nepal, says a lot of migrant workers

253
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: return with injuries, and many of them have kidney failure

254
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: because they do not get treatment. Dehydration probably, yeah, that's right.

255
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: Two years of returning home. Wow. Yeah, no water breaks

256
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: they Oh yeah, here's a list dying while working in Cutter.

257
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: This is more than twenty one Pali workers who have

258
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: died since twenty ten. The highest was cardiac arrest or

259
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: heart attack, followed by natural death, road accident, suicide, workplace accident,

260
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: all other causes. So, I mean this was a massive

261
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: undertaking by this country to put together all of the

262
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: infrastructure to host the World Cup. As you mentioned the

263
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: stadiums alone, there's just so many of them. Cutter did

264
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: adopt a minimum monthly wage. What do you think, John,

265
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: is the minimum monthly wage for the migrants working in

266
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: that nation dollar in dollars two seventy five, two seventy

267
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: five for a month a month, right, which is one

268
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: thousand Qatari rayals, that's their currency, right, So that you

269
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: do get you do get food and housing allowances EXCEP

270
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: about thirty five dollars a day. Yeah, well probably three

271
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: dollars an hour or less. It might be very cheap

272
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: to live there, and you import hundreds of thousands of

273
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: Four East Asians and then if they die, they die. Yeah.

274
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: I remember this story years ago because there was stories

275
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: about workers dying there. It's two hundred billion dollars They

276
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: put together of stadiums, metro lines, and other infrastructure for

277
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: the tournament so they could transport people around. The high

278
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: temperature on average in July one hundred and six, why

279
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: they're holding it in December and November. At night it

280
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: only drops to eighty eight. That's one hundred and six

281
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: in the shade on an average day. Get a heat

282
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: wave it's one hundred and twenty and the sun it's

283
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: probably one hundred and forty, and then your body is maladapting. Yeah. Uh.

284
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: One official with a labor organization said, I'm surprised they

285
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: admitted to any deaths. For him to come on and

286
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: say they were in the hundreds, it's shocking. They have

287
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: no idea what's going on, because many believe it was

288
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: a lot more deaths. They're like the Chinese government. They

289
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: make up a number, but they were not. Everybody repeats

290
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: the number and it could be ten thousand people and

291
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: they're never gonna there's people. There's just people never coming

292
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: home to Nepal. This this guy's got quite a title,

293
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: the guy that gave the death number. His name is

294
00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: Hassan al Thawadi. He's the Secretary General of Cutter's Supreme

295
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Committee for Delivery and Legacy. Well that's pretty good, huh.

296
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: Sounds like that on your business cars. I'm the Secretary

297
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: General of the Supreme Committee for Delivery, Delivery and Legacy.

298
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: You know what those titles always sound like they came

299
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: out of like like an Eddie Murphy movie, you know, Joe,

300
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: Like it's some kind of like a fake kingdom with

301
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: fake kings and queens and princes, and then all the

302
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: administrators have these ridiculous titles, except they meet it. It's real,

303
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: all right. We got more coming up. It's the John

304
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: and Ken's Show here on kf I Am six forty

310
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: coming up after three o'clock. Gavin Newsom's phony hearings to

311
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: determine whether or not the oil companies are making windfall

312
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: profits at the expense of California gasoline consumers is beginning today,

313
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: and his idea of a windfall profits tax somewhat related

314
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: to that. We'll talk about it next hour. We mentioned

315
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: last week that apparently California is moving to getting rid

316
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: of diesel trucks gone, and we will talk to a

317
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: representative of the trucking industry and how difficult that could

318
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: make things coming up after the news at three o'clock.

319
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: The Moistline for returns on Friday. John. It's going to

320
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: be a two week gap between the last time we

321
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: played the moist Line, so we're collecting your calls for

326
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: for the Moistline, use the microphone icon. This story is

327
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: just to broke in the last hour or so. LAPD

328
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: is serving search warrants to try to find out who

329
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: recorded that meeting among the three La City Council members

330
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: and the head of that labor organization. This was the

331
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: big story a couple of months ago, involving of course,

332
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Kevin di Leone, Nuri Martinez, and Gil Sadia from the

333
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: LA City council. One resigned, the other two were still

334
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: collecting their pay and don't care. I think I saw

335
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: today that they begin the protesters showed up that the

336
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: La City Council chambers paid protesters, and apparently what the

337
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: council did was they cited COVID rules limits on capacity,

338
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: and we let a bunch of the men and the

339
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: daily struggle. So the announcement was made that they're trying

340
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: to find out who recorded the meeting. It didn't identify

341
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: the specific targets of the warrants, but they obtained warrants

342
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: for several social media accounts. Among them, of course, is

343
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: the Reddit account that post the audio link and related

344
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: cell phone records to that account, and that, of course

345
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: is how this all started. Somebody posted to read it

346
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: their complaints, and you could tell we read all that.

347
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: It's definitely an insider. It's probably somebody that works for

348
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: this La Federation of Labor, because to record the conversation

349
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: which was held in their offices probably would require an

350
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: insider to set all that up. They also seemed to

351
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: just have grudges, not just against the council members but

352
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: against the labor organization. The president, Ron Herrera was the

353
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: fourth person in that conversation, and within days he resigned

354
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: as well. So apparently they actually did ask for a

355
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: investigation into the illegal recording of their private conversation. Kevin

356
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: de Leone said he didn't make the request, but originally

357
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: Michael Moore, the LAPD chief, announced that Nori Martinez, Delione

358
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: and Sadia and Herrera requested it, but Leon said, I didn't. Well,

359
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: they hardly ever prosecute they crimes anyway. Often it's a

360
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: misdemeanor or not even that. And I mean, I don't know.

361
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody in the public is interested in anyway.

362
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: It's going to be somebody even never heard of, somebody

363
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: works in the bottels of the union. It could be.

364
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: Although I thought that the article we read pointing to

365
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: the man who is now going to be on the

366
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: Los Angeles City Council, what is it, Hugo Soto Martinez. Yeah,

367
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: it was a pretty good chance it was him, just

368
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: based on a lot of little clues that the author

369
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: of this article found. I mean, he's not insignificant, but

370
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 1: and he may have had a bone to pict with

371
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: the labor organization, So I mean that's a possibility. But

372
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: you're right, more than that, he's one of those. He's

373
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: one of those socialists too, he is He's a Democrat

374
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: socialist like Mithiuraman right, so, and this other woman unises

375
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: her NaNs is replacing Saddio. They're going to be the

376
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: trifecta on the La City Council for the Democrats. Socialist

377
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: movement in Communism is slowly sleeping in a see seeping

378
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: in seat by seat. They'll have twenty percent of the

379
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: city council now, just flat out communist beliefs. You're right.

380
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Prosecutions for illegal recordings remain rare. In two thousand and six,

381
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: the owner of Extra Jet, a charter jet company, and

382
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: his associate pled guilty to federal charges of conspiring to

383
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: secretly videotape Michael Jackson and his then attorney Mark Garrigas

384
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: when they flew from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara to

385
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: surrender on child molestation charges. So they had to go

386
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: back sixteen years to find an example. Yes, well, I

387
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: don't think there's actually that many cases brought either, So,

388
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: but the recording came to light after attempt was made

389
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: to sell it to the media. So they had a

390
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: concealed cam quarter to Geah. I know, it's just I

391
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: assume now with cameras in oh six, you didn't have smartphones.

392
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: That's true. Now, I think I assume everybody is recording

393
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: everything at all times, which is why I've stopped talking

394
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: to everybody. I didn't know that. Oh why are you

395
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: talking to me? I get paid to talk to you.

396
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: You're talking on the public airwaves every day for four hours.

397
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: We are you not talking anybody when after when a

398
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: microphone's off, I don't speak to anyone anymore. Deborah Market,

399
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: you have a great time together. I heard we don't

400
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: talk though sign language. We don't talk. She's got a

401
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: little mike hidden in that little room for big money. No,

402
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: I worry about that stuff too, trust me. That's right.

403
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: That's right down that she comes in here and we

404
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: just look at each other. She thinks I'm recording. I

405
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: think she's recording. That's right. We have so much fun.

406
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: We just stare at each other. We both think someone

407
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: else is recording us. So and we also got the

408
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: first really bad news about the new Los Angeles mayor.

409
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: This she hasn't taken in office yet, but she will

410
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: in just a couple of weeks. And she made the

411
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: announcement that all staffers who work for Garcetti are invited

412
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: to stay in their jobs through April. While you talk

413
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: about carrying on a clunk tradition, Wait a second, what

414
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: did I say? What did I say? From day she

415
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: won't be any different. She's not going to be any different.

416
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: She's Garcetti in a dress. She's literally not going to

417
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: do anything different. The same people, the same staff that

418
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: destroyed Los Angeles, has just gotten a five month extension

419
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: and probably they'll reach April and they'll continue working in

420
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: one job or another. The reason site it is it's

421
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: a tight timeline to transition. So in order to get

422
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: the government going, she's just going to keep the Garcetti

423
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: people in place. I bet you. I bet you. Caruso

424
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: had a whole staff ready to go because it took

425
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: a while for the votes to be all counted. Bs.

426
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: It's just she's happy with the way Garcetti ran the city.

427
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: It's the way she would run it too. You know,

428
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Caruso wouldn't be whining about a short timeline. He would say, well,

429
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: we worked on this last summer, We already contacted every

430
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: would have been chopping heads. Oh yeah, no, Garcetti administration

431
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: has been abysmal. He did you keep them around? He'd

432
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: fire everybody on December eleventh, and he had everybody committed,

433
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: probably back in July, that if he won, he'd take over.

434
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: What is this? Well through short timeline? There you go.

435
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 1: What did I tell you? Bureaucrat, a legislator, somebody just

436
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: sits and talks. She took note. When did she announced

437
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: she was running for office? It must have been over

438
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: a year ago. Yea, yeah, it must have been at

439
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: least a year ago. So in that whole year, she

440
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: didn't put together a cabinet, a set of administrators. She

441
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't look at the people who work in Garcetti's office

442
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: and get a reading on who's who's good and who stinks? Well,

443
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: they all stink. I mean, look at the city, right,

444
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: city's a garbage heap with with homeless people dying everywhere

445
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: gets worse than that. Accompanying this memo to staffers was

446
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: a lengthy letter from Garcetti thanking Bass for assuring employees

447
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: that they be able to pay their bills, and also

448
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: claiming that eleven years ago he encouraged Karen Bass to

449
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: run for mayor in the twenty thirteen election, when she

450
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: didn't run, I decided to go for it. That's how

451
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: closely bound these two are, or SETI and Bass so well,

452
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I believe that, because

453
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: I think he was termed out of his city council.

454
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: He was going to be done as city council president,

455
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: and he wanted to run. It's it's nice now, ten

456
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: years later to say, oh, you know, I wasn't really

457
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: wasn't going to run, and I was trying to urge Karen.

458
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: I think that's all hogwash, but it does show you

459
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: it's the same person. She would be his first choice

460
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 1: to run. So you're not going to see what look outside,

461
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: and as horrible as it is, you're going to see

462
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: four years to the day, it'll be even worse because

463
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was a state of emergency. In the

464
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: state of emergency, do you keep the staff of the

465
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: worst mayor in Los Angeles history? No, you don't. And

466
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: and will she keep Garcetti's deputy mayor jose Cha Ramirez?

467
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: You know what his job is, homeless policies. Yeah, that's

468
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: gonna keep him. You don't fire that guy. Do you

469
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: think Caruso would keep this guy? On. There's another story

470
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: in here. There are two thousand people a year dying

471
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, two thousand a year, and you keep

472
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: the guy whose deputy mayor of homelessness, he's resigned till April.

473
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: It gets a five month extension because he's done. It

474
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: used to be just a few years ago, it was

475
00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: one thousand a year. It doubled in a very short time.

476
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: That's how brutal Garcetti is. I mean, I mean violent

477
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: dictators don't kill as many people as Garcetti had dined

478
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: in the streets. Yeah, we'll talk about that next. Apparently

479
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: report has just come out that deaths from fentnyl in

480
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County apparently have jumped dramatically between twenty sixteen

481
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one. Now, fentnyl is a newer drug

482
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: out there, but it's a synthetic opioid much more powerful

483
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: than heroin. We'll talk about that more coming up. John

484
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: and Ken camp I am six forty Live everywhere, the

485
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app The Associated Press put out a story and boy,

486
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: the pictures are incredibly disturbing, not really surprising. Fentanyl scourge

487
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: plainly visible on the streets of Los Angeles and a

488
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: filthy alley behind a Los Angeles donnut shop. Ryan Smith

489
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: convulsed in the grips of a fentanyl high, lurching from

490
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: moments of slumber to bouts of violent shivering on a

491
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: warm summer day. When Brandie Josie, another homeless addict, bent

492
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: down and blew a puff of fentnel smoked his way

493
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: in an act of charity, Smith sat up and smowly opened,

494
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: slowly opened his lips to inhale the vapor, as if

495
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: it were the cure to his problems. Well, isn't it pathetic?

496
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: And it's a compound right away with the picture of

497
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: the guy sitting there and he says, sucking on the

498
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: straw from the woman, and here it is. Nearly two

499
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: thousand homeless people died between April twenty twenty in March

500
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. I remember the number was one thousand

501
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: per year. Yeah, now we've jumped to two thousand a

502
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: year of dying on the streets. Well, this was a

503
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: fifty six percent increase just from the previous year. Now,

504
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: and out of the two thousand almost death, seven hundred

505
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: was overdose. Explaining to people who don't know Fentnyl was

506
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: developed to treat intense pain from ailments like cancer. Use

507
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: of fentnyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is cheap to

508
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: produce and as often sold as is or laced in

509
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: other drugs, has exploded. It is fifty times more potent

510
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: than heroin, and yes, even a small dose can be fatal.

511
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: The next picture or a couple of paramedics who are

512
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: trying to revive a guy lying on the street. This

513
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: is all. A lot of this is skid roll pictures

514
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: in La Here you go, Karen Bass, Karen Bass, stead

515
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: of emergency. Oh I know, Let's keep Garcetti's entire administration

516
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: instead of emergency. No, no, everybody come back, including the

517
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: director of Homelessness. Sure come here. Two thirds of one

518
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: hundred and seven thousand overdose deaths and twenty one in

519
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one were attributed to synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

520
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: The Elsa Gunder Times just released the story an hour ago. Yeah,

521
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of a follow up to this and said

522
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: in La County, fentanyl deaths went from one hundred and

523
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: nine in twenty sixteen to fifteen hundred and four and

524
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one from one hundred to fifteen hundred, a

525
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: twelve hundred and eighty percent increase. Can you believe this

526
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: fentanyl was involved in fifty five percent of the overdose

527
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: deaths across the country. And get this one. Among twelve

528
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: to seventeen year olds who died of an overdose, ninety

529
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: two percent tested positive for fentanyl. Wow, almost every overdose

530
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: had fentanyl as a component. That's the world today. It's

531
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: worse than it was because of this drug. And we've

532
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: got a new mayor taken over in a number of days,

533
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: state of emergency. I know what are the Garcetti people doing.

534
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: They did such a good job the death rate on

535
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: the streets. They send out people with little bags that

536
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: have narcnidate so they can revive the addicts so they

537
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: don't die. They this apparently is the strategy. Stand by,

538
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: just make sure they don't die. Nothing we're gonna do

539
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: to change their lives, or you're gonna have narcan stands

540
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: like you have popcorn stands. Directly that that's what it'll be.

541
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Gy'll set up a booth and a narcan. Wow, this

542
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: has been the strategy for years. This kid gloves things

543
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: when it comes to the homeless, and they addicted you

544
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: would you would? I guess they Is this some kind

545
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: of I don't know, like genocide movement? Well maybe it

546
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: is part of what we talked about yesterday that the

547
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: human species should go extinct to save the planet. Do they?

548
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: I guess they want all these people to die. That's

549
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 1: what I'm starting to think. What would you do if

550
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: you wanted all the homeless people to die by the

551
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: thousands every year? What would you do differently? Nothing? This

552
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: works really well, you can take That's how you get

553
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: them off the street. Let them over do some and die. Apparently,

554
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: fentanyls especially dangerous for people who don't have a high

555
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: time dolerance for opioids, which includes a lot of teens

556
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: who've been dying of overdoses that increased rates, even though

557
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: teen drug use has actually fallen. But because it's so potent,

558
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: it can jeopardize long time users of illegal drugs. Because

559
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: it's just a few grains. Man, I saw I saw

560
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: a photo of the other day on a site that

561
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: compared it to a few grains of salt. They actually

562
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: had a photograph to depict it like they it was

563
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: grains of salt, And they said if this, if the

564
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: salt was fent nail, this would kill you. And it

565
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: wasn't even a one shake out of the shade. And

566
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: I've heard of this. They have testing strips so if

567
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: you buy, you know, drugs off the internet, like you're

568
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: trying to get oxycodone or something, you can apply the

569
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: test strip to the pills to see if they have

570
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: any fentanyl. Yeah. I don't know people are doing that,

571
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: but that seems like a good idea if you're gonna

572
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: you know what, if you're gonna buy If you're gonna

573
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: buy pills over the internet, a lot of people do.

574
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: I know. They're cheap and easy to get, so you're

575
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: gonna die and don't have to get a doctor to

576
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: right to you a prescription. Honestly, this is that's where

Speaker 1: we are. Got a frosty Oh, thank you? Is it

578

579
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: the chocolate on pepmint one. I don't know, I don't
