Michael Monks 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: from KFI News this year, and uh, I don't know 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: what you did wrong, but you had to cover Gavin 16 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: Newsom today. 17 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: Yes he was, he was. 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: I guess a little a little bit excited that proposition 19 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: one past and this is the proposition that's going to 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: give him access to many billions of dollars to fight 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: homelessness and build mental health clinics and all the other 22 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: ra ra stuff. So what was going on today? He 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: was in La. 24 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, emphasis on a little bit excited John, because 25 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 3: this was not a substantial victory that I think the 26 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 3: governor was hoping for and pushing for the passage of 27 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: Proposition one. This was probably his biggest issue during the 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: campaign here in California. Decided to put it on the 29 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 3: March primary ballot instead of waiting till November, so that 30 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 3: it was free and clear, no other propositions to compete with, 31 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 3: even though he anticipated a more conservative electorate coming out 32 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 3: in March. But I don't think he bargained for the 33 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 3: squeaky nail bider through which he received a victory that 34 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 3: was declared by some of the outlets just yesterday. So 35 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 3: this thing passed by fifty point two percent, a margin 36 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: of about thirty thousand votes. So to say that this 37 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 3: was not too celebratory would be a bit of an understatement. Yes, 38 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: the governor was here in LA this morning with a 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: lot of local officials at the Reagan Building downtown to 40 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: talk a bit about what he expects to come of 41 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: this now. But it was there was no confetti falling 42 00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: to say the least. 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: Right, No, no mark bands, well, I mean the opposition obviously, 44 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: there was a lot of opposition in the state, but 45 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: nothing organized that had money because hardly a dollar was spent. 46 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: Hardly a dollar. I mean, that's not an exaggeration. John. 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: From what I understand, campaigns associated with fundraising on behalf 48 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 3: of passing Proposition one, including the governor himself, who raised 49 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 3: funds for this, was about thirteen million dollars. On the 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: other side to keep the vote as close as it was, 51 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: opponents organized only about one thousand bucks. 52 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: One thousand dollars, that's what media reports are indicators. What 53 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: did they do with the thousand bucks? 54 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: Probably bought a couple of signs that they weighed that 55 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 3: were pretty affected. 56 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: I think what you saw. 57 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: If they had some donations, they would have been able 58 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: to defeat this, maybe two grand and it would have 59 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: been over the top. 60 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 3: But I think what the governor was up against more 61 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: than just any money that could be raised against them. 62 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: He kind of conceded today is that voters in California 63 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: are a bit tired of hearing about strategies to combat 64 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: mental illness, drug adiction, and homelessness. There's a certain amount 65 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: of fatigue among the electorate out there that he knows 66 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: he's got some headwinds against and trying to push this 67 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: massive opportunity to what he hopes will be a serious 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: address of this. 69 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: Well, here in La County, La City, we got whacked 70 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 2: with billions of dollars at tax increases in twenty seventeen 71 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: proposition H I think was the city prop Hhh? 72 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: Was the county or the other way around. 73 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: I was getting confused, and there's billions of dollars and 74 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: everything got much much worse. So there is no connection 75 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: between the money and their stupid programs and actually getting 76 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: the vagrants off the street. 77 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 3: If people aren't seeing results, then they're not as eager 78 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 3: to support these newer initiatives. And that's what the governor 79 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: said today was basically, money has been spent at various 80 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: levels of government to address various issues associated with homelessness, 81 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: drug addiction, and mental illness, some combination of all those things, 82 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: and the public not seeing the results, at least not 83 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: significantly enough to be enthusiastic about this. And so it 84 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: wasn't just the thous dollars that was raised against this. 85 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: It was people's own eyes. 86 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, there's no credibility in this anymore, at least 87 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: the path the population. Did. 88 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: He say, what what he's going to do with the 89 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: money and not that, not that I believe it, but 90 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: you know what did he say? 91 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: Of course? And this was support. 92 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 3: This was interesting because this was an initiative not just 93 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 3: supported by the governor, but also some local officials. We're 94 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: talking about the sheriff's office, some local elected officials, members 95 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: of the General Assembly are all behind this as well. 96 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: In fact, Sheriff Robert Luna said just this morning alongside 97 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 3: Gavinknews so that he expects it to reduce the jail 98 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: population because forty two percent of his inmates, he says, 99 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 3: suffer from mental illness, and so whatever magic powers this 100 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: new initiative is going to address, he expects it will 101 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: help those with mental illness who are spending too much 102 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: time behind bars in the crowded jails. But this is 103 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: a twofold proposition. There's a bond initiative for over six 104 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: billion dollars that the state can borrow to fund a 105 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 3: bunch of beds housing units, half of which will be 106 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: reserved for veterans, and also about sixty eight hundred mental 107 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: health and drug treatment beds. But it also changes the 108 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: way counties can use some money from another tax that 109 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: was first adopted by voters in two thousand and four 110 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 3: against millionaires to fund mental health initiatives. Now two thirds 111 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 3: of those revenues have to go towards mental health issues 112 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 3: associated with homelessness. 113 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 2: Yes, I remember that tax, and it raised a lot 114 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 2: of money, and that didn't do anything either. Suddenly mentally 115 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: ill people started pouring out into the streets, in fact, 116 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: often whacked out on drugs. 117 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 3: Some counties that don't have significant homeless populations, rural counties 118 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: in California, are concerned about that part of the measure 119 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: because now two thirds of those funds that they were 120 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 3: using towards general mental health situations now have to be 121 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 3: reserved towards a homeless population that doesn't necessarily exist or 122 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: not at least at the scale of Los Angeles or 123 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 3: San Francisco. 124 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: Did he address why anybody should trust him on this. 125 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 3: Issue, Well, I think Gavin Newsom did. Get asked this 126 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: morning about whether his own personality was a challenge for 127 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: this to be adopted, because he can be a bit 128 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: of a polar He's a bit of a national figure 129 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 3: now right, Oh yeah, certainly an ambassador for democratic and 130 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 3: progressive values in the country, and so that alienates people 131 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: who certainly don't fall in those lines of thinking, at. 132 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: Least if it worked. 133 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: My problem is he's got all these values, and look 134 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 2: what we've got in the streets, so that these ideas 135 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: don't work. 136 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: He didn't answer the question directly. 137 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 3: He's very good at pivoting away from those things, as 138 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: national politicians tend to be, so he did not give 139 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 3: a straightforward answer on that. So to be determined on that, 140 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: I suppose, all right, well, thanks very much, my pleasure 141 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 3: recovering it. And you know what, eventually, I mean, the 142 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: reporters just have to tackle him, I mean literally tackle him, 143 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: force him, force him to own up to his failures. 144 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 3: It's just it's just you're gonna see five years from now, 145 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 3: there's gonna be a story that they're gonna call for 146 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: an audit about all the money from Proposition one has 147 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: been wasted, Homelessness has increased, and it's because people get 148 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: fooled every time. I mean, do we have superpowers that 149 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: half California doesn't have? That we could look at Gavin 150 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: Newsom or a Garsetti or a Karen Bass and immediately see, 151 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 3: oh we've got a grifter here, we got a con artist. 152 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: We got to it's another shakedown and they actually go 153 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 3: and they give a speech and they say, yeah, we're 154 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 3: gonna have a task for us. We're gonna special commission. 155 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: We've got a program here, we're gonna build mental health clinics. 156 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: We're gonna get shelter beds, We're gonna do this, this 157 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: and this, and then the reality is these dirty, gross 158 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: deals done behind closed doors and friends and family set 159 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: up fake nonprofits. They make hundreds of thousands of dollars. 160 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: No homeless people are serviced. But you know, with the 161 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: mental health situation, and these are the details again that 162 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: nobody asks about. Are you build a mental health clinic? Ultimately, 163 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 2: these people have to be drugged. You got to give 164 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: them medication to control all their crazy impulses, violent impulses. 165 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: They're bipolar, their schizophrenia, right, that's what a lot of 166 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 2: the homelessness is. Schizophrenia and bipolar and drug addiction. They 167 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: don't take their medicine. They're not held in the mental 168 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: health clinics for very long. The system is not designed 169 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: to hold them very long. So once they go through 170 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: the front door, they're not taking their pills anymore. If 171 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: they're not taking their pills, they go crazy again. They 172 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: can't hold jobs. Most of these people are unemployable. So 173 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 2: you have this whole collection of unemployable brain damage, drug 174 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: addicts and lunatics.

And I don't understand it, 203 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: this new story, this updated story, Still, the whole thing 204 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense. And I'll explain why it doesn't. 205 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: Maybe it make sense to you, It doesn't make sense 206 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: to me at all. Uh Sho he a Tani big 207 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: starring with the Dodgers, has been with the Angels for years. 208 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: When he came to America, he brought along his interpreter 209 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: and his name is Ipe Mizuhara, and Misuhara would make 210 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: between three hundred and five hundred thousand dollars a year 211 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: and most recently he was an employee of the Dodgers. 212 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: So he worked for the Dodgers, and the Dodgers have 213 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: fired h out yesterday Otani's spokesman, and that guy is 214 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: not named in these stories, and I don't know why, 215 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 2: it's just it's just listed as an Otani spokesman. 216 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: Uh told the ESPN. 217 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: That the money, the four and a half million dollars 218 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: in wire transfers was sent. 219 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: Well. 220 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: Reporters found out that there was four and a half 221 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 2: million dollars in wire transfers that were sent from Otani's 222 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: bank account to a bookmaking operation, and so people wondered, well, 223 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: is Otani. 224 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: Doing the betting? 225 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: What's the story here? So Otani spokesman sets up an 226 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: interview with ESPN and sends Otani's interpreter and friend, Ipe Misuhara, 227 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: who says, I was the one with the gambling problem 228 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: and Otani was bring my gambling debts. Sat down with 229 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 2: ESPN for ninety minutes and told the network that Otani 230 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 2: had sat with him and the two transferred the money 231 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: in five hundred thousand dollars increments in several different settings. 232 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: As ESPN was about to publish the story yesterday, the 233 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: Otani spokesman retracted Misuhara's account, says no it's not true. 234 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 2: So they sat down with Misuhara again and he tells 235 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: the ESPN that everything he said was not true. Otani 236 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: had no knowledge of his gambling activities or his debts, 237 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: or was aware of any efforts to repay the debts. 238 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: On Thursday, a source close to Otani gave an explanation 239 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 2: for the changing story. As Otani's handlers tried to determine 240 00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: what happened, they relied solely on Misuhara. So they asked 241 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: Bihara what the story was, and that's the story that 242 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: the spokesman gave out. Except ESPN has seen the banking 243 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: records showing these half million dollar wire transfers. Now, how 244 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: would the translator be able to execute a series of 245 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: half million dollar wire transfers? If you've ever done them, 246 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 2: they're pain in the neck. You need wire transfer instructions, 247 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: you need a series of numbers. Sometimes you have to 248 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: show up in person at the bank, especially if it's 249 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: big money, because big money transactions are flagged by the bank, 250 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: flagged by the IRS because they're always on alert for 251 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: money laundering. They're on the alert for bad guys who 252 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: are handling either stolen money or money gotten from smuggling, 253 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 2: drug smuggling, human smuggling, prostitution, all that. So the banks 254 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: are very sensitive, especially when you're dealing with a very 255 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: well known celebrity, somebody who's signed a seven hundred million 256 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 2: dollar contract. So Otani's people are claiming that mister Harra 257 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: stole the four and a half million in wire transfers. 258 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: Now, how do you do that? 259 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 2: How do you get a hold of the paperwork to sign? 260 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: They do id checks at banks. You can't just transfer 261 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: a half million dollars and send your buddy ton't go 262 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: and handle it that that doesn't go on. Mister Horror 263 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: was asked yesterday if he'd been accused of theft. He 264 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: was totally couldn't comment, but wouldn't say who told him 265 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 2: not to comment. When he was asked whether you're taking 266 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: money without Otani's knowledgy, wouldn't answer a question on that either. 267 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: But money was all. 268 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: Going to some southern California bookmaker named Matthew Bowyer in 269 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: case he didn't know. It's illegal to bet on sports 270 00:14:53,680 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: in California. Go figure, right, I mean, there's forty states 271 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: that you can do sports betting, not here. 272 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: I think it was. 273 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: Because that did the Indian casinos make some donations to 274 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 2: the Sacramento politicians because they didn't want the competition. I 275 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: remember that a few years ago they were like dueling 276 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 2: propositions on the ballot. Yeah and yeah, the Indian casinos 277 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: didn't want to lose business. So Sacramento, California become one 278 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: of the few states where you can't do legal sports betting. Well, 279 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: this just doesn't add up. This doesn't make any sense. 280 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: How does he give two interviews to ESPN, both with 281 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: completely different stories. How is it that Otani knows nothing, 282 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: did nothing, wasn't aware of anything. If this is bankwire 283 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: transfers and ESPN has seen the transfers, then how would 284 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: Misuhara get access to Otani's account and be able to 285 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: transfer the money repeatedly first time it happened. I mean, 286 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: when you do a series of these things, the bank 287 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: has all kinds of protocols. They go crazy over this stuff. 288 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: It's just simply can't do it easily. You have to 289 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: be there in person. They got to see your ID, 290 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: they got to know you, got to have a personal 291 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: relationship to do this stuff. Em He's also claiming he 292 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 2: never bet on baseball four and a half million dollars 293 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: of bad bets? 294 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: How did he? 295 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: How did he do that if he's making only three 296 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: to five hundred thousand dollars a year, I mean, why 297 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: would it? 298 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: Too many questions bad answers so far. 299 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: I don't believe Otadi is Ohara, don't believe the Dodgers, 300 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: don't believe any of this. 301 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: Morris coming up. 302 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM 303 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: six forty. 304 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: There's more coming out of now the New York Post 305 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 2: about the show Hey Otana scandal, the Ipe Mizuhara, the interpreter, 306 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: The Otani people are claiming that Musahara stole four and 307 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: a half million dollars from Otani to cover his gambling 308 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: debt bank wire transfers. This is a reversal of the 309 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 2: original story from Mizuhara where he said that Otani willingly 310 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: covered mizuhara Is gambling debt. And then they changed the 311 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: story and suddenly uh law firm statements were released, so 312 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: they've they've moneyed the whole thing up. But like I said, 313 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: it still doesn't make any sense. Even if Mizuhara stole 314 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: the money, how do you get access to Atani's private 315 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: bank accounts and be able to execute repeated wire transfers 316 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: for large sums of money. How do you how do 317 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 2: you do that without without Otani finding out? I mean, 318 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: you get a monthly statement at the end of the month, 319 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 2: don't you, yeah, have an app on your phone. 320 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. 321 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 2: I don't believe this. So ESPN's Tisha Thompson, she went 322 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 2: on first take. So here's another version of the story 323 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: that a Dodger's official told the ESPN that Otani only 324 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: seemed to become aware of the theft during a locker 325 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 2: room meeting after the Dodgers won on Wednesday in South Korea. 326 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 2: According to Thompson, Misuhara, the interpreter, gets up and says 327 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: something to the effect of I'm sorry, I apologize. I 328 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 2: have a gambling problem. Another player says, so, what that's telling. 329 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: That's when the. 330 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: President of the Dodger says, well, Otani paid off the debts, 331 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 2: and that's when it clicked for Otani that something was 332 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: not right. So they're saying that Otani only became aware 333 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: of this in the locker room after somebody translated what 334 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 2: the president of the Dodgers was saying and what Missuhara 335 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: was saying in English. According to Tisha Thompson, Otani is 336 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: not fluent in English. Everyone says that, but he has 337 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 2: enough understanding. 338 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: To say what. 339 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: And he goes after the meetings and starts asking questions. 340 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 2: Then they get a different interpreter, and through that second interpreter, 341 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 2: that's what he found out about the money missing in 342 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: the account. But it still doesn't explain how Misuhara would 343 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 2: get access to it, and he would actually go to 344 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 2: ESPN and claim Otani approved of it. Well, if this 345 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: is true, how long did he think that story would 346 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: last that Otani approved of it? 347 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: And how would you do that unless he unless his 348 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: name was on the account. 349 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 2: I mean, you could withdraw money from the ATM for somebody, 350 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 2: right if you have his pin number and you have 351 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 2: his debit card. But four and a half million dollars 352 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: this is one of the stories. One of these stories. 353 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: They don't happen that often. When they do, they usually 354 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: turn out to be doozies. Because when you get a 355 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: series of stories and I think there's been now four 356 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: of them, and each one of them doesn't make sense, 357 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: and each one of them contradicts the other stories, then 358 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: you know there's something big and ugly here, and obviously 359 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 2: there's a tremendous amount of money on the line. If 360 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: Otani is tainted in any way by this, by actually 361 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: being involved in the gambling, well you saw what they 362 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 2: did to Pete Rose and and the Dodgers got seven 363 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars on the line and their world series aspirations, 364 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 2: not to mention, you know, all the merchandise that Atani's 365 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 2: going to sell, all the tickets that he's going to sell, 366 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: all the ratings for the local television and and and 367 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 2: the network TV games. I mean, they were going to 368 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: showcase him the way they couldn't for the Angels. There's 369 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: something about the Angels. Big stars go there and they 370 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 2: evaporate like Mike Trout did and Otani didn't. But the 371 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: Dodgers of the big stage. And that's that's that's kind 372 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: of weird that you had the Dodgers executive at the 373 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: meeting trying to explain this, and that's that's only when 374 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: Otani figures it out. So there's what what big question 375 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: here is how does the interpreter get access to a 376 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: Toni's account in order to transfer bank wire transfers that 377 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: that gigantic amount of money that's that cannot be digestive 378 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 2: the way they're presenting it so far.

I 519 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 2: don't know, but that stadium where they played. I wish 520 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: we had more of those stadiums here in the United 521 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: States because there's only sixteen thousand people. 522 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: Show. 523 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 2: Hey, hit two flyouts today to the outfield to the 524 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 2: warning track, and they would have been home runs in 525 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 2: about half of the major league stadiums. 526 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 6: Oh, so they're big parks. Yeah, these are big. Yeah, 527 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 6: but there's only sixteen thousand people. Is that right in Ancelo? Yeah, 528 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 6: it's just much smaller crowd. 529 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. I like that. 530 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 6: You know, sixteen thousand remember when the Charger used to 531 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 6: play at the home depot. 532 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: Be able to get at it Dodger Stadium more quickly, 533 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: that's right. 534 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, instead of fifty eight thousand people, you know, there's 535 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 6: thirty thousand people less or whatever that number is. 536 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: Thirty Yeah, thirty thousand less people. That's great. 537 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 6: Dean Sharp is coming on with us. He's always great. 538 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 6: At six twenty, we'll talk to Dean Sharp. And then 539 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 6: also AT and T proposes to phase out landline service 540 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 6: in California. That's over land line service is over. So 541 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 6: eventually you're going to see you know, people with you know, 542 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 6: internet service and no landlines, which sucks because when you know, 543 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 6: when I was growing up and you were growing up, 544 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 6: if you're on a landline, it's literally like you were 545 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 6: next to the person. It was crystal clear. Yeah, and 546 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 6: now all that's gone. I know, I don't drop out. 547 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 6: I don't think and it's an advancement. I think it's 548 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 6: a step back in technology. 549 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: Everything is like that, all the advancements, sir. 550 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 6: I know, I you know when sometimes and again this 551 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 6: is not you know, I love Michael Brian. It's not 552 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 6: his fault, but the technology sometimes when we listen to 553 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 6: traffic is more garbled than nineteen sixty nine when guys 554 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,959 Speaker 6: were on the moon. You can hear them clear when 555 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 6: they're on the moon. And again I don't blame Michael 556 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,959 Speaker 6: Brian at all, but there's something in getting you know, 557 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 6: that airplane to talk to us is somehow maybe not 558 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 6: as good as the guy. 559 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: On the moon. 560 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 6: That's another reason why I don't believe her on the Moon. 561 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 6: I still to this day, I'll tell you or not 562 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 6: on that moon.
