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

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: could hear us on the radio one until four every day,

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: and then after four o'clock you go to the iHeart

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: app for the podcast John and Canon demand record breaking numbers.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: We broke last month's record, and there's still a couple

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: more days left. So listen to the show. It's in

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: addition to listening live, and you go home and whatever

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: you missed, maybe the whole thing, maybe parts of it,

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: you can catch up on. It's the iHeartRadio app. All right,

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: let's go to Bill Malujin from Fox News Fox eleven

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: about another astonishing George Guestcone story. This is about a

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: man who is accused of killing his neighbor, shooting her

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: multiple times to death in her own apartment. And he'd

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: already killed somebody and got mental health diversion instead of prison.

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe. Let's get Bill on to give

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: us the details. Bill, how are.

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: You John doing well?

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: Man?

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: How are you? Thanks for having me on?

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: Sure tell us what you know?

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, this is one of the more egregious George

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: Gascon stories I've covered so in a nutshell. Back in

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: November of twenty twenty, this guy named Stephen Sutherland. He

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: gets arrested for an unprovoked attack on a construction worker

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: who he felt was making too much noise near his apartment.

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: So he takes a knife and he stabs the guy

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: in the neck. He almost bleeds out and dies, but

29
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: he survives. He gets arrested in charge with assault with

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: a deadly weapon with an enhancement for great bodily injury.

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: And as the case moves forward, the La County Probation

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: Department recommends to the DA's office, Hey, you got to

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: send this guy to prison. They recommend a prison sentence.

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: They say this guy's violent, he's unstable, he's got to

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: be held accountable, and they wrote, quote, we have concerns

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: about the possibility of future violent outbursts. Well, those concerns

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: were completely ignored. In twenty twenty one under Lada George Gascon,

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: his administration instead of gave him mental health diversion, so

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: he avoided any jail time, was released into the community

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: for what they call community treatment, so there was no lockdown, facility,

41
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: no nothing. He was just free to go for his

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: diversion and that ended up being a deadly decision, as

43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned just last week. Last Tuesday, in South La

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: LAPD arrested him again for murder. They say he shot

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: his upstairs neighbor multiple times inside of her own apartment.

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: He went upstairs and allegedly shot her, potentially over another

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: noise dispute. He had apparently confronted her about making noise

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: in the past, and they found nineteen shell casings in

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: her apartment. So bottom line here, John is apparently in

50
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: Los Angeles County, you can stab somebody in the neck,

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: nearly kill them and not do a single day in prison.

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Guest Gong in his office. Have they responded to.

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: This, They have, and they're defending their decision. They essentially

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: gave me a statement saying that I'll read it off

55
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: to you right now. Quote. A court appointed psychologist deemed

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: the defendant suitable for the treatment program, and our prosecutor

57
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: agreed to the defense's request for mental health diversion. The

58
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: court approved the treatment plan and deemed the defendant safe

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: for community treatment. We are saddened by the most recent allegations,

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: and our hearts go out to the victim and those

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: who love them. So they admit, yes, their prosecutor agreed

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 2: with the defense to allow him to do mental health diversion.

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: And they say they are saddened.

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Is the prosecutor under Gaskhn's orders or we don't know that?

65
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean keep in mind Gascon has issued

66
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: all sorts of special directives ever since he took office,

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: and he made one of the pillars of his campaign

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: seeking diversion whenever possible rather than incarceration. That's his whole mantra.

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: But this, this is attempted murder. You know, as you described,

70
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: you nearly bled out or after being stabbed in the neck,

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: and the probation department says violent, unstable future, violent outbursts

72
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: or possible. I mean, this is a whole other level here.

73
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: That's what's so egregious about this case, John, I mean,

74
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: I haven't seen one like this. Normally, the probation department

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: will recommend a diversion, are out of jail, but this

76
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: one they were very firm. They recommended prison time. They

77
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: said they had concerns about his violence, his instability, they

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: had concerns he was going to attack somebody again, and

79
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened in this case. And yeah, I

80
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: mean it's My jaw hit the floor when I first

81
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: got the tip about this one, because I was thinking,

82
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: in my head, how do you stab somebody in the neck,

83
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: almost kill them and walk? I mean, even in La

84
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: County that seemed a little bit crazy, But that is

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: exactly what happened here we are now starting to see.

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I kept reading the story over and

87
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: over again because I thought I must be glossing over

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: something here. There must be something else that explains this,

89
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: And what you just said is what it is.

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the thing is this is the second case

91
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: just like this in the last few weeks that I've covered.

92
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: Earlier this month did a story on another woman, same thing.

93
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: She had a track record using knives and violent attacks.

94
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: The gasco and administration kept giving her diversions. She never

95
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: did a single day in jail, and then last month

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: she stabbed to death an innocent dad in the street

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: during an argument, and only now she being held in custody.

98
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: So it's two cases in a row now where you

99
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: keep getting diversion, diversion, no jail time, violent unstable, mentally

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: ill people who go out and kill innocent people. And

101
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: these are only the cases that I'm getting tipped off

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: to for law enforcement contacts. God knows how many other

103
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: cases there are that I'm not even hearing about. You know,

104
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 2: it's just it's ridiculous. But to think, I mean, think

105
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: about this poor woman's family, the woman who was just

106
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: shot and killed last week, minding her own business in

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: her own apartment, knowing this guy should have been locked up,

108
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: or even if he's in diversion, you put him in

109
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: a lockdown facility or something. You don't just this guy

110
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: just randomly stabbed somebody in the neck and almost killed them,

111
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: and you just let him go into the public and

112
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: now she's dead. Now she's lost her life because of this.

113
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: Allegedly completely preventable. Absolutely yeah, I mean, this is clearly

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: he should been locked up and Jennifer Gomez should be alive.

115
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: Any reaction from the family yet. Gomez's family, We've reached

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: out to them.

117
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: They haven't gotten back to us yet. They did set

118
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: up a go fund Me. I was reading it. They're up,

119
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: they're pretty torn up. They're trying to raise some money

120
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 2: for her expenses, her funeral expenses. And the thing about

121
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: this was John I was reading the police report on

122
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: the murder, and it appears that the woman he killed

123
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: was also in diversion. Both both apartment units were leased

124
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: out by the La County Department of Mental Health, so

125
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: her unit was also a diversion unit, so they kind

126
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: of give him apartment housing sometimes. So it appears he

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: killed somebody else potentially in diversion, and the police report

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: says he had gone up there before to complain to

129
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: her about making stomping noises and told her, quote, don't

130
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: make me have to come up here again.

131
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: I see he was.

132
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: He was caught on surveillance video going upstairs with a

133
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: gun and again they found nineteen shell casings.

134
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: Thank you. Do we know how many times she got shot?

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm just told multiple times, but you can imagine with

136
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: nineteen fired, it probably significant.

137
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: And plus we're paying for all this too, we're paying

138
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: for the apartment.

139
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: That.

140
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: This is one of the most astonishing stories. Is this

141
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: running on local Fox eleven later?

142
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: No, I just I've been I've been running this on

143
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: Fox news.

144
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: All day, all day, Okay, yeah, yeah.

145
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: IM about to run it again in an hour and then, well,

146
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: I would hope some of the local media would pick

147
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: this up because it's a pretty damning story.

148
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: If you ask me, I would hope too, but you

149
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: never know. All right, Bill, Really, you're one of the

150
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: best reporters I've ever come across. Terrific work.

151
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: You think very kind of you. John. Always a pleasure

152
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: to join you, my friend. I really appreciate it, all right.

153
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Bill mallusion from Fox News, and I guess you want to.

154
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep a lookout for the TV version

155
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: of this if you're just joining us. What Bill was

156
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: telling us is Stephen Sutherland is being accused by police

157
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: of killing his upstairs neigh of neighbor, Jennifer Gomez. He

158
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: was upset with the noise she was making in her

159
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: apartment and shot her multiple times. As Bill said, there

160
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: were nineteen shellcasinges in her apartment. He had already almost

161
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: killed a construction worker to death again he thought the

162
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: construction worker was making too much noise, stabbed him in

163
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: the neck and he nearly bled out. And instead of

164
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: getting a prison sentence, George Gascone put Sutherland on a

165
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: mental health diversion program in an apartment that we're paying for,

166
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: a mental health diversion apartment. And Gomez was on mental

167
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: health diversion too, the victim. But the real damning thing

168
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: is the Probation Department said that Sutherland was violent and

169
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: unstable and future violent outbursts are possible, and still Gascone

170
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't put him away. Now Sutherland is being held on

171
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: a two million dollar bond. He's charged with murder. He's

172
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Gascone is claiming that a court appointed psychologists deemed him

173
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: suitable for the treatment program. And I don't know who

174
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: the prosecutor is in this case, but he's claiming the

175
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: prosecutor agreed to the defense request for mental health diversion.

176
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: That's hard to believe unless it was one of Gascone's

177
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: handpicked public defender lackeys that he has turned into Deputy DA's.

178
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna contact Ray. Let's contact all our regular Deputy

179
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: DA commentators who come on the show regularly. Maybe we

180
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: can get more on this. This is chess so horrible,

181
00:09:52,880 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: absolutely positively horrible. George Gascone is responsible for this onean's death.

182
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean he was told to her put him away.

183
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: He was told to put Sutherland away, violent, unstable, future

184
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: violent outbursts. It's in black and white in a report.

185
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: It's just astonishing, and I you know, I haven't seen

186
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: this covered anywhere else yet all right, more coming up

187
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: Johnny Ken Show.

188
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

189
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

190
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: Ken's Away or on the radio from one until four

191
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: every day after four o'clock the iHeart app and you

192
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: could hear John and Ken on demand. That's the podcast

193
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: we have. Bill Malugen's TV report. He mentioned it's been

194
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: running on the network and you should hear it because

195
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: it's just a great rundown of this shocking, disgusting. This

196
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff people should be offended by.

197
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: This case of Stephen Sutherland accused of killing is upstairs neighbor,

198
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: shooting her multiple times. This comes after he tried to

199
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: stab to death a construction worker three years ago and

200
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Gascone let him out on a mental health diversion program.

201
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe what you're gonna hear. Listen to

202
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: Bill's report.

203
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: Critics of Lada George Gascon say this case is yet

204
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,119
Speaker 3: another egregious example of what can go wrong when Gascon's

205
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: policies allow violent criminals to avoid incarcerations.

206
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: So take a look. This is Stephen Sutherland.

207
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: In late November twenty twenty, he was arrested by LAPD

208
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: after he used a knife to stab the neck of

209
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: a construction worker who he felt was making too much noise,

210
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: nearly killing him. He was charged with assault with a

211
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: deadly weapon with an enhancement for great bodily injury, and

212
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: sources tell me the La County Probation Department recommended a

213
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: prison sentence for him, with the probation officer writing, in

214
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: part quote, the defendant must be held accountable for his

215
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: violent actions. The defendant's conduct is alarming and disturbing. This

216
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: deputy is concerned earned about the possibility of future violent outbursts.

217
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: But that prison recommendation was ignored. In twenty twenty one,

218
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 3: Progressive La County DA George Gascon's administration agreed to give

219
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: Sutherland mental health diversion instead of incarceration, a decision that

220
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: proved deadly. Last Tuesday, LAPD arrested Sutherland again, this time

221
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: for murder, after police say he shot and killed his

222
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: upstairs neighbor in her own apartment, firing nineteen times in

223
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: the process. The victim, thirty year old Jennifer Gomez, was

224
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: pronounced dead on scene.

225
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: With multiple gunshot wounds.

226
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: Her neighbors told police Sutherland had previously confronted her about

227
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: making stomping noises in the past. I reached out to

228
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: Lada George Gascon's office asking how it made any sense

229
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: to give Sutherland diversion for that next stabbing crime.

230
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: They responded, in part.

231
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 3: Quote, a court appointed psychologist deemed him suitable for the

232
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: treatment program, and our prosecutor agreed to the defense request

233
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: for mental health diversion. The court approved the treatment plan

234
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: and deemed a defendant safer community treatment. We are saddened

235
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: by the most recent allegations, and our hearts go out

236
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: to the victim and those who love them. Critics say

237
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: releasing violent, mentally unstable individuals is a disaster for public safety.

238
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: It seems irresponsible to throw someone back out into the

239
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: street who has just committed a violent felony, and that's

240
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 4: I think the biggest critique here.

241
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: And Gasco's office went on to tell me that Sutherland

242
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: participated in his diversion program for almost two years without

243
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: any issues. But that's obviously no comfort to the family

244
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: of miss Gomez, who is now dealing with the loss

245
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: of a loved one after she was allegedly murdered by

246
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: this man last week.

247
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: I just to shock and hear the second time, I'm

248
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: looking online and I cannot find any other news outlete

249
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: covering this. I don't know how that's even possible. I mean,

250
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,119
Speaker 1: obviously Bill Malujen broke the story. He had an exclusive

251
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: earlier on. But the story's been out for a number

252
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: of hours now, and I don't know be there ought

253
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: to be a protests outside of Gascon's office, right there's

254
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: all sorts of nutty protests for things that don't really matter,

255
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: and they get a lot of coverage. All every kakamami,

256
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: left wing progressive knuckball issue, there's protests. There is absolutely

257
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: nobody interested in a woman getting stabbed to death by

258
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: a guy who already had tried to stab someone to

259
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: death a short time ago. It's not like he went

260
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: to prison served twenty years. No, he and that probation report,

261
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean violent, unstable, possibility of future violent outbursts, assault

262
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: with a deadly weapon, and an enhancement on that. He's

263
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: there's alarming, deeply disturbing. I mean, the language couldn't be clear.

264
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: Does Gascon want us to live in fear? Does he

265
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: want people to die? Does he want a climate of

266
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: terror in Los Angeles County? Is he is? He is?

267
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: He part of what I think is a larger movement,

268
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: a larger organization trying to make life unstable in America,

269
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: unstable in the cities, intentionally cause commotion. I I just

270
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: can't find another word about this. I typed in, I

271
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: typed in Steph in Sutherland, and all I'm getting is

272
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: uh stuff about a British guy who was a victim

273
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: in England by the same name. Wow, this is amazing.

274
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Well I this this in a normal time, because you know,

275
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: we've been out here long enough. There have been these

276
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: spectacular cases which finally galvanizes people to say enough and

277
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: they make changes. They remove politicians, they get referendums passed,

278
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: they get the legislature or the city council to pass legislation.

279
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: This is one of those moments. There's got to be

280
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: a force to remove gasconne to stop this stuff again.

281
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Last week's story, he has ten thousand cases he has

282
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: not prosecuted, and he's not going to prosecute him ten

283
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: thousand of them. You know what's going on out there.

284
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: There isn't a person I know who isn't afraid to

285
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: walk around at night in Los Angeles. Everybody I know

286
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: is afraid to walk around at night in Los Angeles.

287
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: There's no woman I know who would walk alone to

288
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: go anywhere to do anything. Somebody wanted this. By the way,

289
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: do you hear any any of the county supervisors who

290
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: have some oversight over gascon? Do you hear any of

291
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: them saying anything? Wow? Anybody in the LA City Council? Nothing?

292
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 4: Johnny Ken, you're listening to John and Ken on demand

293
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: from KFI Am six forty.

294
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: Ken's off today and we're on from one to four

295
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: on the radio. After four o'clock. iHeart app Johnny Cannon

296
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: demand the podcast. After three o'clock, Corbyn Carson from KFI

297
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: News will be on with us. Maybe you've seen the

298
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: video at the San Clemente Pier last week there were

299
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: at least two marines assaulted by maybe forty people, forty

300
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: young people. The Marines had complained about the fireworks and

301
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: the mob turned on them. And we'll get into that

302
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: coming up after after three o'clock. I mean marines getting

303
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: beaten up. I mean maybe they were curled up in

304
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: the fetal position on the ground getting battered by this crowd.

305
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: I don't know where the crowd was from, now you know,

306
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: or maybe you don't know. Among the insane laws that

307
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: have been passed is one requiring that electric vehicles make

308
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: up thirty five percent of auto sales in twenty twenty six,

309
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: which is a little over two and a half years away.

310
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: So in two and a half years, auto sales are

311
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: supposed to be thirty five percent electric cars, which is nuts,

312
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: and eventually, by twenty thirty five auto gas powered cars

313
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: are going to be banned entirely. So the car companies

314
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: are reacting to this. The parent company of Chrysler is

315
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: going to reduce shipments of gas powered cars to California,

316
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: for example, Jeeps. If you enjoy driving a Jeep, you

317
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: might want to stock up on several extra Jeeps if

318
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: you're can afford it, because they're going to be hard

319
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: to find. Chrysler said they're not going to be sending

320
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: many to California anymore. They do have an electric suv,

321
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: but that's going to be twenty thousand dollars more twenty

322
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: thousand dollars more expensive. So what we have is in

323
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: two and a half years, electric vehicle sales are supposed

324
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: to be a thirty five percent. In six and a

325
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: half years, two thirds of the cars are supposed to

326
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: be a electric and then all of the cars by

327
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: twenty thirty five, which is in eleven and a half

328
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: years now. Eves made up nineteen percent of California sales

329
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: last year, but two thirds were Teslas. So is we

330
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: have lots of wealthy people in California and they bought

331
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: the Teslas, but when it came to everybody else, electric

332
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: vehicles are not popular. There's federal and state subsidies that

333
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: total up to fifteen thousand dollars, but still consumers won't

334
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: buy electric vehicles. So they're going to try to force

335
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: you to buy an EV by making gas powered cars scarce. Now,

336
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: this EV mandate is not a completely done deal, and

337
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: this is where it gets interesting. California has to get

338
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: approval from the Biden administration to impose its EV mandate.

339
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: So even though it passed the legislature and Newsom assigned it,

340
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: the federal government has to allow it. The Biden administration

341
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: has said publicly that they have no plans to gas

342
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: power to ban gas powered cars. Well, if that's true,

343
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: then they would reject California's request. If they reject California's request,

344
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: then presumably this law is dead. Boy If this is

345
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: not a reason to vote against Biden.

346
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: Huh.

347
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: So we can have the freedom to buy whatever car

348
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: we want, and also the freedom to buy gas stoves

349
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: if we want, and everything else. This is such oppressive

350
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: communists like nonsense, where the government is telling us what

351
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: we can buy. Yikes. Now, car makers, home builders, and

352
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: electric utility companies wrote a letter to Biden last week

353
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: saying there's a shortage of electrical steel because there's so

354
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: much demand because of all these forced mandates, and they

355
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: want Washington to subsidize domestic manufacturing of electrical steel. Right now,

356
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: we import a lot. Making anything here is too expensive,

357
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: so they want government subsidies for the steel. There's government

358
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: subsidies to buy these electrical vehicles, there's government subsidies for

359
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: all these electrical appliances. Or they could just leave us alone,

360
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: which is the way we used to live and everybody

361
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. And of course, to justify this ridiculous control,

362
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: they put out all all the freight news about the climate,

363
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: which by the way, has not changed even this much,

364
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: not in the tiniest bit as it changed. Despite well,

365
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: here in California, seventeen years worth of policies, nothing has changed.

366
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: In the climate. It's been completely ineffective. It's just caused

367
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: us to cost us a lot of money and a

368
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: lot of inconvenience. Now, on the artificial intelligence front, this

369
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 1: was one of the most puzzling news stories. Several artificial

370
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: intelligence experts and executives released a public statement claiming that

371
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence poses a risk of human extinction just as

372
00:23:54,880 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: great as nuclear weapons and a pandemic. The thing is,

373
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: it's the people who created many of the artificial intelligence products.

374
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: There's a company called open AI. The head of that

375
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: company is Sam Altman. His company created chat GPT. Maybe

376
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: some of you have tried that out. There's another man

377
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: named Jeffrey Hinton. He's known as the godfather of AI. Well,

378
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: they joined more than three hundred and fifty other prominent

379
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: figures who released a twenty two word statement. Here's the statement.

380
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a

381
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: global priority alongside other societal scale risks such as pandemics

382
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: and nuclear war. But they don't say exactly how AI

383
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: would cause us to become extinct. That was it. That

384
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: was the whole statement. It's like a lead to human extinction. Well,

385
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: how's that going to work? And if that's true, why

386
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: are these gods, why do these guys indent it? Why

387
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: are they selling it? And what is it we're supposed

388
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: to do about it? It's not like any of those

389
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: can control artificial intelligence? So how's it gonna make I mean,

390
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: not just kill us, but make us extinct? Like the

391
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: whole species is gone? So what the hell are they building?

392
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: What do they know that they haven't told us? Really,

393
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: what do they know that they haven't told us? It

394
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: must there must be something going on that three hundred

395
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: and fifty of these guys would release the statement And

396
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: why was it twenty two words? We need another paragraph,

397
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: maybe more than one paragraph. Other people who sign this

398
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: letter is the head of Google Deep Mind, Demis Hassabis.

399
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: Another artificial intelligence leader, the CEO of Anthropic named Dario

400
00:25:55,080 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: Amodi or m A. Day Oh, with Biden earlier this

401
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: month to discuss potential AI risks and extinction. Oh I'm

402
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: sure he followed along. Well, huh, it says here, as

403
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: we grapple with immediate AI risks like malicious use, misinformation,

404
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: and disempowerment, the hell's that the AI industry and governments

405
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: around the world need to seriously confront the risk that

406
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: future AIS could pose a threat to human existence. Mitigating

407
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: the risk of extinction from AI will require global action.

408
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 1: These are all quotes from some of these people who

409
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: signed it. Well h Hinton, Hinton, who Let's see which

410
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: guy was him? Which guy was he? Oh, he's the

411
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: godfather of AI. He uh. He admitted his worst fear

412
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: that AI could significant harm to the world, and that

413
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: he regrets partly his life's work. He thinks bad actors

414
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: are going to do bad things. This reminds me. I

415
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: don't if you ever saw any any documentary or a

416
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: docuseries on Albert Einstein. Some of his research led to

417
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: the development inadvertently. I mean it wasn't He wasn't trying

418
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: to develop nuclear weapons, but the things he discovered led

419
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: to nuclear weapons. And when he realized, he was aghast.

420
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: He couldn't believe it. He felt terribly guilty, and he

421
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: lived through the original nuclear blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

422
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: Elon Musk has caused called for a pause in advanced

423
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: AI development. I he said he saw. Musk said he

424
00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: saw a non zero chance of AI going terminator. The

425
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt said AI was not

426
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: far off from becoming an existential risk to humanity that

427
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: could result in many, many, many people being harmed or killed.

428
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: Could these guys explain how this is gonna happen? Because

429
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: all we got is Joe Biden protecting us here or

430
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: coming up Johnny Ken Show.

431
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

432
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

433
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: On the radio one till four after four o'clock. The

434
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: iHeart app has the Johnny Cann on demand podcast. The

435
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Times at a story today. You know about

436
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: the writers guild strike, right. They want more money because

437
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: so much programming has gone to the streaming channels and

438
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: they don't get much in the way residuals there. They're

439
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: afraid of artificial intelligence as well, replacing them, so they're

440
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: on strike. They haven't on strike for a couple of weeks. Now.

441
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: LA Time has released the pay for the top Hollywood

442
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: executives in town, and this really was stunning. Most of

443
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: these guys you probably haven't heard of. Maybe you've heard

444
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: of a couple every year. David Zaslov. He owns Warner

445
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: Brothers Discovery. Those two entertainment companies have merged. So while

446
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: the writers are on strike. Over the last five years,

447
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: he has earned four hundred and ninety eight million dollars.

448
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: Now that's you know, cash and stock options and benefits,

449
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: but that's the number. Four hundred ninety eight million dollars.

450
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: Holy hell. For in five years he gets one hundred

451
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: He's never written a single show. It's a lot of

452
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: box office numbers. Then, I guess, yeah, I would include

453
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: the Warner Brothers movies, the Discovery cable networks, the Warner

454
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: Brothers cable channels like CNN. He's ultimately the top executive

455
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: that oversees CNN. Second place was an agent Ari Emmanuel

456
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: from Endeavor three one hundred and forty six million dollars.

457
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: This eye popping in five years. These aren't lifetime earnings.

458
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: Do you know who that is?

459
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: That is?

460
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he comes from the Emmanuel family. Well, and he

461
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: was Ari Gold in Entourage. That's who it's based off of, right, Yeah, yeah, No,

462
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: he's such a character. He was a character. I think

463
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: his brother was Ram Emmanuel, who is the mayor of Chicago. Yeah,

464
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: and he was in the Obama administration. And then there's

465
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: another Emmanual too, goes really well in some some field.

466
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: I forgot his name read Hastings. He's the CEO of

467
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: Netflix two hundred and nine million dollars in the last

468
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: five years. You think of that if you pay your

469
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: Netflix bill every month, huh. And the thing is he

470
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: and his wife, Patricia Quillen, they have donated millions of

471
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: dollars to elect people like George Gascone and Gavin Newsom. Seriously,

472
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: some of your monthly Netflix payment goes to keep Gascon

473
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: in office, had to keep Newshim in office.

474
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 2: He and the.

475
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: Wife Bob Iger runs Walt Disney one hundred and ninety

476
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: five million dollars. Ted Sorrandos, top executive at Netflix, one

477
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two million, So the two Netflix guys

478
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: make about four hundred million dollars total. But even the

479
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: two of those guys combined can't compete with David Zaslov

480
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: from Warner Brothers Discovery. They make the top executives make

481
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: one point four three billion dollars, up fifty percent from

482
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Now, things were down a little last year

483
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: because the stock dropped, But when you see how hardcore

484
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: they are against the writers, it gets it's kind of

485
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: disgusting because Walt Disney, Warner Brothers Discovery have cut thousands

486
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: of jobs. Netflix, Comcast, NBC, Paramount, Roku, They've all laid

487
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: off lots of people. And you know you have to

488
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: as the market rises and falls, you know, business rise

489
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: and falls. But the hell, five hundred million dollars for

490
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: one guy, like like, like nobody else could put on

491
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: a bad news network. God, uh give me five hundred

492
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. I can put on a bad news network either, Yeah,

493
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: really will work cheaper? Yes, hire us, we'll work for

494
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: half half. I'll do it for a hundred million. Okay, fine,

495
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: I'll underbid you. I'll do it for fifty fifty. I

496
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: don't know if that's worth it. Well, this guy gets

497
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: five hundred I I don't. I don't know why stockholders

498
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: don't do anything about this. I mean they complain, but seriously,

499
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean to get five hundred million dollars to one guy.

500
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: It says most companies get ninety percent approval from their

501
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: for their executive compensation practices. UH other other big other

502
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: big CEOs, Amazon, Apple, Charter Communications, Serious ExM. But none

503
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: of these places exist without the writers. You know, you

504
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: know what you get when you don't have writers, you

505
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: get you get all that awful reality programming. That's what

506
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 1: you get without writers, you get judge shows, you get

507
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: bad singers and music competitions. That's what you can. You

508
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: got no drama, no comedy. All right, when we come back,

511
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: and teenagers. I mean they were attacked and pummeled and beaten,

512
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: and two of them were into the fetal position. We're

Speaker 1: talking about the Marines here. They get punched and kicked.

514
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: Apparently one of the Marines complained about fireworks going off

515
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: and that set off the whole mob. The hell. I
