Her voice 11 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: came on with a story she already did. 12 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 4: Somehow what I recorded for the FM stations all over 13 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 4: road the stock market. 14 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm working on that. 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: Okay.

Yeah. 23 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: A quick update on the story we did last hour. 24 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: Mayor Eric Adams of New York City has now said 25 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: that the migrants can come and live in Gracie Mansion 26 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 2: with them. 27 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: He does that, John, he did, he did not? He 28 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: did so. 29 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: She said, I'm a big believer in leading from the front. 30 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 2: There are protocols in place I can use the building 31 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: anyway I want. I don't have a problem if I 32 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: could put a migrant family in Gracie Manchet. 33 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: Is he living there? I think so. 34 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: There are five bedrooms on the second floor downstairs used 35 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: for receptions and events. I think he does, although he 36 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: claims it's haunted by ghosts and the previous story that ran. 37 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 2: It's on East eighty eighth Street in New York City, 38 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: right with great views of the East River. 39 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: Okay, but it's We're just it's nothing but stunts. Now 40 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: it's like there's some threatening to arrest the Santas Eric 41 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: Adams taking in illegal aliens. Yeah, okay, sure, why don't 42 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: you watch you come up with policies that work, like 43 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: sealing the border. 44 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: We're back to the ugly La County metro system. There's 45 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: a new report that shows a increase in attacks on 46 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: the metro bus drivers and the train operators. 47 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: And for more detail on that, here is cafi's owns T. Gregory. Hey, guys, 48 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: what's up. So I got a tip from somebody that 49 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: there was this report that was released during a recent 50 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: Metro board meeting by their public safety officer, and the 51 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: report showed a huge spike in attacks and assaults on 52 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: drivers and operators. So we're talking about bus drivers and 53 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: train operators within the Metro system. In March of this 54 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: year alone, there were twenty three attacks, almost one a 55 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: day in the month of March, and now the numbers 56 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: from March show that the majority of those attacks were 57 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: people spitting on the drivers or the operators. So that's dangerous, right, 58 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: considering what's in people's mouths. Well, that's that's actually considered 59 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: a hazardous material situation. Oh yeah, and when officers, when 60 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: I've done ride alongs with cops, when they're spat on 61 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: by people and you know, being arrested or whatever the 62 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: case is, they have to shut everything down, they have 63 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: to call it, you know for paramedics, and they have 64 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: to do a whole thing. So that was the majority 65 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: of the assaults, followed by any attacks with hands and fists, 66 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: and then a knife attack as we all know. And 67 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: someone actually used a baby stroller as a weapon to 68 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: attack a driver. Oh it's unique. That's gonna hurt. Yeah. 69 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: So that was just in March, but last year they 70 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: showed a little over one hundred and sixty two attacks 71 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: in total. It came out to out fourteen attacks a 72 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: month against drivers' operators. 73 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: And now a train operator. Can you get to them 74 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 2: as easily as a bus drive? 75 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: Not as easily, but there is still those who managed 76 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: to attack them, like as they're coming and going getting 77 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: on and off. Oh yeah, and those who break in, 78 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: you know, they literally can break those doors those compartments. Yeah. 79 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: And if you remember in the videotape that I, you know, 80 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: posted the exclusive that we had on that video, people 81 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: were shooting into the windows of those compartments. Yeah, so 82 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: you know that's the video that got me banned from TikTok. 83 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: Oh, remember that's what they banned on TikTok. Really you 84 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: showing the real truth? 85 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: Right? I got banned on TikTok, so I had to 86 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: I had to do a new account with a different 87 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: different name. Oh those choking demonstrations, that's how easy it 88 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: used to get it on TikTok. Kids to each other 89 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: does they don't get bad? The kids actually killing each 90 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: other stupid stunts doesn't get banned. But my my actual 91 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: surveillance video montage gets banned and it caused my account 92 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: to be suspended. Would that be because Metro asked them 93 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: to do that? TikTok just has some policies. It was 94 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: because it was showing violence. They saw I violated community guidelines. 95 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: So news organizations don't post. I've appealed at christ Illed. 96 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: I appealed twice saying this is uh, this is active journalism. 97 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: I gave him my credentials, I showed him my background. 98 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: It didn't matter. And the Chinese are laughing at you. 99 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: I know. Yeah. So so this report is pretty glaring 100 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: because now it's coming from within and there's really no 101 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,799 Speaker 1: dispute about it because these drivers and operators are speaking 102 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: out and everyone's been so fixated on the passenger that 103 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: they forget about the driver operator. And now Metro is 104 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: getting proactive. They've hired forty eight additional transit security officers 105 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: that will do nothing but ride the buses, and they've 106 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: asked the law enforcement partners, which be Long Beach PD, 107 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: LAPD and LA County Sheriff's Department, to deploy more armed 108 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: officers and deputies. Now does this have some sort of 109 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: a deja vus when the previous sheriff was in office? 110 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: I think about that when I go back, because we 111 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: went and did a ride along during operations Safe Travel, 112 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: and that was something that was done specifically by the 113 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department. Metro did not like it. They were very 114 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: against it. Their Public Safety Committee Advisory Committee or PEA 115 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: sack as it's known, is made up of the activists 116 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: and the anti cop people, and they were the ones 117 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: telling the Metro board no armed people on the trains 118 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: or buses because people are intimidated and scared of them. 119 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: And so when the Sheriff's Department deployed that operation, there 120 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: was a seventy six percent reduction on board crime. But 121 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: this is common sense. I don't understand why are the 122 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: politicians so affected by activist groups who demand crazy policies. Clearly, 123 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: if you have armed people on anything, you're gonna get 124 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: less crime, and if you don't, you're gonna get more crime. 125 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: That's not up for debate here. I'm surprised at this 126 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: point that the drivers and operators haven't sort of banded 127 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: together and said, you know, sort of do their own 128 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: walkout or their own strike until conditions are guaranteed safe. 129 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: They can they construct something to protect the bus driver 130 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 2: as well, like a big plastic shield, and they'll get 131 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: spit on. 132 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny, ken because during the pandemic. 133 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: They installed those, they installed the plexiglass, oh, because of 134 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: spittle right for COVID, and they said that that's been 135 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: sort of a good deterrent, but there is still ways 136 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: of getting to these drivers and operators, and some of 137 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: that plastics cracked and it's you know, in bad shape. 138 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: So it's it's now they're trying to figure out ways 139 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: to even more isolate. But here's the problem. So let's 140 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: say a passenger passes out, or a passenger something happens 141 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: to a passenger. The driver sometimes has to react and 142 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: has to render aid. So it's complicated, you know, in 143 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: these drivers and operators, and they've got their backs to 144 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: these people half the time. They look up the mirror 145 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: every once in a while, but most of the time 146 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: they have their backs to these pass have an arm 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: presence on as many buses and trains as possible. There's 148 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: no other way around this. 149 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: Is there any cross correlation in these data as to 150 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: how much the homeless people are involved in. 151 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: These attacks, Well it was anecdotal, but I was told 152 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: that the majority of these attacks are by those by 153 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: homeless people. Are those on tru I'm sorry, unhoused experiencing 154 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: homeless well, you know, so if they if they took 155 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: action against the homeless crazies, they wouldn't end up on 156 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: the buses and trains to begin with. Right, And so 157 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: you go, that's where the root cause of the problem 158 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: exactly right. 159 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: It leads to some of the other problems. Well, see, 160 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 2: it's a domino effect. 161 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: When you allow chaos to happen blocked by block, it 162 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: starts in everything else in public. And the remainder of 163 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: these are usually gangs. Yeah, there's a lot of violence 164 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: on trains and buses or gangs too, But yeah, the 165 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: great many of these cases are homeless people attacking for 166 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: for no reason and unprompted and unprovoked. But you raise 167 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,239 Speaker 1: a good point. 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: You'd think there would be some sort of a job 169 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: action by these drivers and train operators. 170 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Get are they unionized? You know what? I don't think so. 171 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: For some weird reason, I think they're not. I don't 172 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: know that they are. They're county workers, so they're not. No, No, 173 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: because Metro it's a different deal. And like, for instance, 174 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: the transit officers, I believe, like the ambassadors. Now let's 175 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 1: not forget the ambassador, they want to unionize, Yes, they 176 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: do want to unionize and they are employees of a 177 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: third party contractor, so that's a different situation. So they're 178 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: they're employees of a contry. That's true for the drivers. 179 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: I think the drivers, I think the drivers are employees 180 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: of third party companies. I think it's at a Velo, 181 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: not a Vello. The name of the Vlo Vlo I 182 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: think is that one of the companies. I can't remember, 183 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: but I think there's third party contractors involved in a 184 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: lot of that. All right, Steve, thank you very much 185 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: for that report. 186 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: It's Steve Gregory, KFI News on this latest report on 187 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: attacks on metro bus drivers and train operators. Numbers rising 188 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: everything from being spit onto being an attack with baby strollers. 189 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: We got more coming up. 190 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: Johnny Ken KFI AM six forty we're live everywhere the 191 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. 192 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 193 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 194 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: Ron live from one to four on the radio.

That's the podcast, so you could 197 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: pick up what you missed. You mentioned and last segment, 198 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: we were talking about Eric Adams, the mayor of New 199 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: York offering to take in illegal aliens into Gracie Mansion, 200 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: which is the Mayor's home in New York. And you 201 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: would just hit me a minute ago because I was 202 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: looking at one of the stories on him. He's not 203 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: married and doesn't have a family, so he has four 204 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: empty bedrooms and a big mansion empty. There's no risk 205 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: for him. But no normal person is going to take 206 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: in a young, strange man from a foreign country. If 207 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: he's got a wife and daughters and little sons. Nobody's 208 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,239 Speaker 1: gonna do that. It could be culturally enriching, it's dangerous. 209 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a chance to reach out and know 210 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: another part of the world. You're gonna you're gonna you're 211 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: gonna bring in a young man and you've got a 212 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: sixteen year old daughter in the house. You're not doing that. 213 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: It says he's completely out of touch because he doesn't 214 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: have a family. He doesn't he doesn't have anything at 215 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: risk there. He's got I'm sure a guard, he's probably 216 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: got a police detail at the mansion, so he's not 217 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: at risk. But a normal family that's a huge risk. 218 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to sleep at night with some 219 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: strange guy prowling all the house. 220 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: At least he fought back on that line. Well, if 221 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: you're for this, then you take him in, always said 222 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: he would. I realize his circumstances are different as you describe, but. 223 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: It's cheap what I'm saying, it's cheap. There's no risk. 224 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: Didn't want to be one of those phonies that doesn't 225 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 2: stand up and do what he wants other people to do. 226 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: All right, technically, but in reality, there's no risk to 227 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: that guy. 228 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: We were just talking about La County Metro and the 229 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: attacks on bus drivers and train operators, and it did 230 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: come up in the conversation. 231 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: It didn't take long. 232 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: The transit ambassadors, who only started I think last year, 233 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 2: they want a union. They're unhappy with their working conditions 234 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 2: and they're looking to unionize. About seventy five to one 235 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: hundred ambassadors employed by Strive Well Being Ink, which is 236 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: Steve mentioned, is a third party contractor which actually pays them, 237 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: and Metro pays Strive Well Being to employ the ambassadors. 238 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: They say that they don't make enough money. 239 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: Twenty three to fifty an hour they make and five 240 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: dollars is supposed to be used to find healthcare because 241 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 2: health insurance plans are not offered. They all believe that 242 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 2: it's very risky that even though they're down there to 243 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 2: just give directions and be friendly with the bus and 244 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 2: train writing public, they often have to administer Narcan to 245 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: people overdosing on opioid. 246 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so it looks like Metro misled somebody here because 247 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: the way they were publicizing this, it sounded like they 248 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: were going to be used to interfere with the weirdos 249 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: and the creeps and the crazy people. And it seems 250 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: like the transit ambassadors thought they were going to hand 251 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: out directions. 252 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 2: Now they just have a two way radio and an 253 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 2: iPad and their job is to call somebody if it 254 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: looks ugly. 255 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: So they're considered guide to give people directions, help writers 256 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: navigate the system, and. 257 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 2: Respond to the homeless and those using illegal drugs. What 258 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 2: does that mean respond to the homeless outreach? 259 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: Well, it turns out it was way more than these 260 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: ambassadors wanted to deal with because you end up having 261 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: to act like a cop, except your cop without a weapon. 262 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: And who wants to be a police officer without a weapon. Nobody, 263 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: And that's why they're pissed off. 264 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 2: Wearing green polo shirts and carrying only phones or iPads, 265 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 2: no guns. They're a part travel guide and part transit host. Yeah, 266 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: but some of them say they end up being the 267 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: first responders if somebody gets assaulted, Like a nurse got 268 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: assaulted on one of the downtown trains and she ended 269 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: up in a black eye. 270 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: One of the ambassadors a guy named Fabian Bolanos. He 271 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: said the ambassadors are guiding foreign tourists to their hotels, 272 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: helping them find the right trains or buses. They're like 273 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: the concierge. But now you've got assaults and drug usage. Well, no, 274 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: who wants to do that if you don't have a 275 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: weapon on you. Oh, in the ex first carry on 276 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: narcan and revive the fit, died aladdics that are laying 277 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: on the ground. Oh. 278 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: Eventually, it's going to be required that everybody in California 279 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: has to have narcan. It's going to be on It's 280 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: going to be the state government is going to mandate it. 281 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: That's my prediction. We all have to have narcan. It's required. 282 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: This guy Belanos has already revived four people, four fetanyl addicts. 283 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: He said. He started by greeting passengers and handing out maps. 284 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: Now he's given out Narcan to people who are nearly dead. Wow, 285 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: now somebody was terribly misled by these by these Metro idiots. Uh. 286 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: In other union news, our union has voted to authorize 287 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: a strike. Yes, we are part of SAG AFTRA And 288 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: did you vote. 289 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: John or But I called up and you and I 290 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: are not going to go on strike. Yes, I was 291 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: going to make that clear, but I am no. Oh, well, 292 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: you can go on strike for your TV one but no, 293 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: but not for you can't find No. 294 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: No, I was just kidding, But yeah, no, are you 295 00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: called up? 296 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: Oh?

So that's why there was a call 302 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: for the union members of SAG after the vote to 303 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: authorize a strike.

We're apparently a major dam in the 374 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 2: southeastern portion of Ukraine collapse today and both sides are 375 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: blaming each other for exploding the dam, although some Russian 376 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 2: officials say the damn just collapsed on its own. Nobody's 377 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: sure who's responsible, but most people think it's the Russians 378 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: that did this. 379 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: Whoever gives out the stupid excuse first, Well, it could 380 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: be an old infrastructure problem that was that was one 381 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: of the fronts in the war because the Ukrainians are 382 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 1: trying to push Russia out of that region and they 383 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: have a counterfeit it's of going.

The Geneva Convention does ban targeting 396 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: dams because of the danger to civilians, but it's something 397 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: doesn't matter to the Russians clearly. 398 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it says here in Kurson, water was filling the 399 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: streets rising quickly, and the power was out, the gas 400 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: stopped working, the water supply stopped flowing, and so people 401 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: just fled.

Also, some of that water and it brings 407 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: us back to this that nuclear power plant.

It's rushing controlled by 410 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: the way that plant. So they're saying right now it's 411 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 2: not a problem, but it could be a problem. Ah. 412 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 2: Fast moving water poses risks of mine and explosive ordnance contamination. 413 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: Displacing the projectiles to areas previously assessed as safe boy 414 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: deserve have an impact on electricity generation of course, Uh, 415 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: water supplies, right. 416 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: I so wish a drone would get to Newsom.

Yeah, I hope. 422 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: But anyway, the president of Ukraine has already wants the 423 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: International Criminal Court to put the Damn incident on the 424 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: list for war crimes against Russia. He says he thinks 425 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 2: they blew it up from the inside and residents are 426 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: sitting on the roofs of their homes waiting to be rescued. 427 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: This is a Russian crime against people, against nature and 428 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 2: life itself. 429 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: I'm looking at one photo where the floodwaters are right 430 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: to the roof of one home. All that's sticking up 431 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: is the point, the midpoint of the roof right and 432 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a map of the country. I mean, 433 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: the Russians do occupy big piece of southeastern Ukraine. That 434 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: dam is right there on the river. It's a dnipro 435 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: which kind of separates what Russia occupies versus what Ukraine 436 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: still holds on to this damn that we're talking about. 437 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: And then underneath this Russian occupied territory is a wonderful 438 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: crimea which the Russians took about ten years ago from Ukraine, 439 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: and of course the Ukrainians want to get that back. 440 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: There's another story that, apparently, according to sources, Aids are 441 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: no longer giving Vladimir Putin any bad news. 442 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 2: I think we heard this rum of Saddam Hussein. I 443 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: think the same thing happened in his last days that 444 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 2: AIDS decided you can't bring them any bad news about 445 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: the efforts. 446 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: Because it's a personality type.

These guys are truly insane, Hutin Hussein Trump. 456 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean they are. Yeah, so you can't you can't 457 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: bring them reality because they live in their own distorted world. 458 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: They're also what they self considered to be strong, in 459 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 2: charge people.

It's not happening, Yeah, 461 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: but it gets disassociated in their brain. 462 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: It's right, because but when you have that much arrogance, 463 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: eventually you screw up if you're not capable of calmly 464 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: analyzing a situation.
