Speaker 1: can't remember.

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,040

Speaker 2: Right, because we've been in burd Bank for all almost

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: twenty years, and I think it was not long after that.

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: So wow. No, don't think about that either.

22

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,399

00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Is there anybody left? No? Just uh, just a couple

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: of studios. That's it. They moved all the salespeople to

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: another floor. There's just good for you. Massive empty space everywhere,

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: just emptiness. Pretty soon you'll be doing the show in

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: the parking garage, That's what I'm saying.

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Wow, let's bring on Steve Gregory right for this story

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: out of Lancaster.

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: About the cops who threw a woman to the ground. Steve,

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: you there, Yeah, how you doing, guys? We're here in

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: a hum ah yeah and I hear you.

35
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: Okay, good.

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: What's this story about here? I've said, we've we've seen

37
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: the video.

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, so the video. So the video came out.

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: It went viral, obviously, and it's graphic. It shows deputies

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 4: trying to arrest a man and a woman outside of

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 4: a win Co grocery store in Lancaster, and the video.

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: Quickly went viral.

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 4: And what was always missing from the video, as with

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: a lot of these types of videos, is the context.

45
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: What were the circumstances and.

46
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: Surrounding the deputies getting there, what brought the deputies to

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: that location. Well, yesterday Sheriff Robert Luna had an emergency

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: press conference if you will, only because we had fifty

49
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 4: three minutes notice of the press conference.

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: And this is a big test for him.

51
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: If you remember the Monterey Parks shooting in January, that

52
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: was sort of his test as the first major event

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: while just shortly after becoming the new sheriff of La County.

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: This will test his reform efforts now because this is

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: his first high profile deputy involved use of force incident.

56
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: So yesterday the sheriff talked about he saw the video,

57
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: he called it disturbing, and he guaranteed a full and

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: impartial investigation. But what he told is yesterday was a

59
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 4: couple of things that kind of stuck out. First of all,

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: the deputies were going to the Windco grocery store because

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: of a nine to one one call by an employee

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 4: of the grocery store. The nine to one one caller

63
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: told dispatch, there are a man and a woman here

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 4: that have assaulted one of our employees, which is one

65
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: of those theft officers, like a security officer, but they

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 4: specialize in the theft of product. They keep an eye

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: on all this stuff and there's some fancy name for it.

68
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 4: I can't recall the top of my.

69
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Head, lost prevention, thank you, lost prevention specialist or lost

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Prevention officer, so kind of a security guard. And apparently

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: they said that this couple had assaulted a deputy or

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: excuse me, assaulted this lost prevention person and had taken

73
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: something and had shoplifted. So that's what deputies were responding to.

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: So when deputies arrived, they approached the couple who matched

75
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: the description given by the caller, and the deputy was

76
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: affecting the arrest on the man, and the man was

77
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: kind of given the deputy's grief. Then the woman started

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: mouthing off to the deputies and telling him they want

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: arrest my husband, and going on and on and on,

80
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: and she approached the deputies.

81
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: Now, what didn't come out in yesterday's press conferences I

82
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: had been told by sources is that the woman allegedly

83
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 4: slapped one of the deputies. And I'm not sure where

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: she slapped him, but had engaged already in some.

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: Sort of aggressive behavior.

86
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: So and she was filming or recording the encounter on

87
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: her cell phone.

88
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: If that's true, that changes everything, right.

89
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: Well, let me tell you though going into this, and

90
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: this is what people don't understand. First of all, policing's

91
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 4: not pretty. So when you see stuff on video like

92
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: that without the full context or without the full story,

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: you got to wait. And even the sheriff finally conceded

94
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: toward the end of the press conference yesterday. You know,

95
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: I have to wait to se see what the deputies

96
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: were thinking when they did that. I have to get

97
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: the deputy side of the story too. I can't just

98
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 4: comment on what happened. Even though he called the video disturbing,

99
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 4: he said he does have to wait for the deputies.

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: I saw television coverage and they presented the encounter as

101
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: she's videotaping the police, and they got pissed and through

102
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: to the ground, and it was all about her recording

103
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: no what was going on. But there was something very

104
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: important that also was happening. Is that she may have slapped.

105
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: Them, right, And that's yeah, so that's not that's not

106
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 3: the case.

107
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: And in deputies are not are trained to understand that

108
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: it is a First Amendment right to record their you know,

109
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: their actions and their activity is so long as the

110
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 4: person's not trespassing. And in this case, it was a

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: public space. So the deputies are trained in the academy

112
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: level and again at leadership level, they are trained to

113
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 4: allow people to record them. It's a it's not a hindrance. No,

114
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: I can't speak for those two deputies, have no idea

115
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: what they were going through and what they were thinking

116
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: at the time, but I can tell you how they're trained,

117
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 4: and they're trained to accept that that said, I was

118
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 4: told that they were the aggressors. Now, keep in mind

119
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: the nine to one to one caller said that a

120
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: man and a woman there was an assault against an employee,

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 4: So deputies are already on the way to the call

122
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: knowing that an assault most likely took place based on

123
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: the call. It's like when someone calls and says, I

124
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: think there's a man with a gun in my backyard.

125
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 4: So when officers arrived, they're not thinking they're going to

126
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: get a kiddy kat out of the tree. So they're

127
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: wrapping their mind around the fact that there might be

128
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: someone with a gun in the backyard, much like they

129
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 4: do here. They're wrapping their head around the fact that

130
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: someone may have assaulted somebody else Already, they're preparing themselves

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: mentally and physically to approach someone who's most likely aggressive.

132
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 4: Now everyone's been making a big deal, Well this is

133
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: a senior citizen couple. Well it doesn't really matter if

134
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: they've assaulted somebody by now, it doesn't matter how old

135
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 4: you are.

136
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: So the woman who is seeing getting thrown in the

137
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: video was the same woman who was accused of assaulting

138
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: someone in the store.

139
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: The couple.

140
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: They said that the couple the couple, but she was

141
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: half of that couple. Yes, I see. So the reporting

142
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: was very confusing and incomplete.

143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: Well it's because and here's the other thing too, that

144
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: the sheriff's department was very vague. I know that the

145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: sheriff said yesterday he had didn't see the video until

146
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: last Friday, so they've had a little bit to go

147
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: through the bodycam footage. And remember this is also new

148
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 4: to them as well. They've only had bodycam since twenty twenty,

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: so they're still trying to figure out best practices on

150
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: dealing with all of the bodycam footage and.

151
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: What to release, what not to release. So they're still.

152
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: Getting the process of going through video and releasing or

153
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: reviewing it themselves. So, and you're right, there's been a

154
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: lot of confusing reporting. I will tell you that I

155
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: am scheduled right after this interview to speak with.

156
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: An attorney of one of the deputies involved.

157
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: So I'm hoping to get more perspective, and if you

158
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: want me to come back later, we can, you know,

159
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 4: I can bring you back some more information on that,

160
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: or we can do it tomorrow. But I just want

161
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: to let you know I am talking the attorney of

162
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 4: one of the deputies.

163
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: Is this tom you?

164
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: Yes?

165
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, because he did talk to the associated press

166
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: and gave them. But let's see what information you get. Yeah,

167
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: we'll probably bring you back, but there isn't time. We'll

168
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: talk to you tomorrow about it.

169
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: Got it, guys? Well?

170
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: And so basically the bottom line is the deputies arrived

171
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: based on the call of someone assaulting somebody.

172
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: They reacted and responded.

173
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: And remember deputies and officers are allowed up in the

174
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: law up to an including lethal use of force if

175
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: someone goes against a lawful command.

176
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: I have a question, though, I mean, yesterday was Wednesday.

177
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: You said they that the Chief Wunda had the footage

178
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: on last Friday. He was first made aware of it

179
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: last Friday. Why and I'm sure the police gave their story.

180
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: Why didn't he talk about the female suspect slapping one

181
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: of the officers. Why wasn't that part of the press

182
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: conference yesterday?

183
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: I don't know that.

184
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: Instead he was he was basically going along with them

185
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: that they did something wrong and we'll take care of him. Yeah. So,

186
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: I mean he must have known.

187
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what he knew. And but I will

188
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 4: tell you the other thing.

189
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: Why holding a press conference if you don't know everything.

190
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: I think what's interesting too is yesterday he talked about

191
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: all the different groups and organizations and city leaders that

192
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: he's brought into this. Now that's going to complicate the

193
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: matters because now it's being tried in the in the media.

194
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 3: The whole thing. First of all, listen, was really a

195
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: routine call, is what this was.

196
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't a shooting, no, no, no, Nobody was seriously

197
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: hurt here. A woman was maybe assaulting an officer and

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: got thrown to the ground. I mean, that's that's the story.

199
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: I don't see what's remarkable about it.

200
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 4: Well, we'll find out all the details here pretty quick

201
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 4: and maybe the attorney today will be able to enlighten

202
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: me a little more.

203
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, thank you very much. Bye, guys.

204
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: It's Steve greg Mukafid, who's covering the story out of Lancaster,

205
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 2: where a couple had to be restrained by Ellie County

206
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: Shore's deputies, and got well, when we come back, I'll

207
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 2: explain how I think this story unfolded, and yes, wrongly

208
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: unfolded with the media as usual, because I saw this

209
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: story a couple of nights ago, and even I was like,

210
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: why are they doing this to the woman? She's allowed

211
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: to videotape police activity? And that's all I got out

212
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: of it, until you know, you wait the day or

213
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: two and you get more details. And I didn't know

214
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: they were involved at first, impossible shoplifting, an assault on

215
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: a security guard.

216
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that from first seeing this.

217
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: A whole story came out backwards, sideways, backwards. All right,

218
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: we'll talk a little bit more when we return your

219
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 2: chance at money to one thousand dollars. Listen for the

220
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: keyword John and KENKFI AM six forty live everywhere the

221
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app.

222
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

223
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

224
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: All Right, a couple more minutes on this Lancaster's story.

225
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: We just talked to Steve Gregory from KFI News about

226
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: and he's going to have a chat, apparently with an

227
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 2: attorney representing one of the deputies. The attorney's name is

228
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: Tommy You and we'll see what comes of that. And

229
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: his quote from the Associated Press is his client took

230
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: the woman to the ground because she was being resistant.

231
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 2: When I saw this story played on the news Monday night,

232
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: it was it looked bad, as John said, nobody was

233
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: badly hurt, but it looked like she was trying to

234
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: take a cell phone video of a police officer who

235
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: was handling her accomplice there.

236
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I just thought they were a couple.

237
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Every version of the story that I saw on television

238
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: or I looked up online, it was all presented in

239
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: the same way. First of all, it was kind of

240
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: blurred that the woman was part of the couple that

241
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: was accused of assaulting somebody inside the store.

242
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: Oh that I didn't even find out till later. Yeah, well,

243
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: that they were shoplifting suspects. So they may have assaulted

244
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 2: a couple of security guards.

245
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: So this sheriff Luna, did he know this stuff because

246
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: this happened last week, he must have known by now,

247
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: why was he allowing this incomplete information, and why is

248
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: he holding a press conference yesterday because he's sheriff puppet.

249
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Because I saw in this the story, I.

250
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: See activists or screaming for these cops to be arrested,

251
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: and he wanted to respond to that by acting like.

252
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: Oh, I understand, we're looking into it. This doesn't look good.

253
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: And of course all the progressive media weenies in down

254
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: were showing video of all the activist groups, racial activist groups.

255
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: Essmily just interested in the viral hit right, Oh, look

256
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: at this, look at this, because apparently there's another woman

257
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: bystander who took the rest of the video with her

258
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: own cell.

259
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: Phone, a woman that was not involved in the arrests.

260
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: And that's where you see the older woman being taken

261
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: to the ground in Pepper Spring.

262
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: The whole package for several days was misleading, in fact,

263
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: maybe outright falls. I mean, how could everybody do this?

264
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: As you said, his client approached the woman to detain her,

265
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: she replied, you can't touch me. This was the beginning

266
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: of the ensuing use of force. You said, this is

267
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: the lawyer for one of the deputies that she's now

268
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: being resistant.

269
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Well, if she slapped the cop after assaulting somebody in

270
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: the store. She's lucky all she did.

271
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: The woman was cited for assaulting an officer, so yeah,

272
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: that's the charge.

273
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: So she may have slapped him, right, So what what?

274
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: What's? What's?

275
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: What's with all the reporters here, they couldn't find that out?

276
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: What's with Luna? Luna holds up murger.

277
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: They this this emergency press conference with fifty three minutes

278
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: of notice for with the activist groups all assembling, and

279
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 2: then people were demanding that he responded the activists with

280
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: the defund the police people are still out there. They

281
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: also gonna times. They all wanted answers now from the sheriff.

282
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: I look at the video this morning, It's like, Okay,

283
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: they threw it to the ground roughly, but this is

284
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: causing such an assemblage, such a media outpouring, and then

285
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: to find out that she might have slapped the cop.

286
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: Boy boy, this is like instant fake news, isn't it Exactly?

287
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: They pepper sprayed her too, so so the TV station.

288
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: My first impression of the story when I watched it

289
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: was she was like a bystander, just trying to text

290
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: them arresting the man. And then they told her stop

291
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: taking that video, and then they grabbed her and throw

292
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: it to the ground, and I thought, oh, that's not right, said,

293
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: I didn't know all of this stuff.

294
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: If she was getting arrested for assaulting somebody in the store,

295
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: how did she get presented by the media as a

296
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: bystander recording the cops? Because I got the same impression,

297
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we're both crazy. Maybe that night, because

298
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: this is Monday, I saw it.

299
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: They didn't really know the full story themselves, and this

300
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: happened on June twenty fourth, but because of video, it

301
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: finally was coming.

302
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so what is today? Is today? Today's till I six? Okay,

303
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: so it's twelve days, yesterday eleven days? And luted didn't

304
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: have the story straight after eleven days. How could that be?

305
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: There's paperwork, there's arrest records, the cops probably already answered

306
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: questions to the investigators.

307
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: I guess some of the attitude is even if she

308
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: was a shoplifter and maybe she slapped the cop, they

309
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: were just they were two over the top on her

310
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: by dragging her to the ground and pepper Springer.

311
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: That's what some people still think. Okay, you go and

312
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: smack a cop and see what happens. You'd be lucky

313
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: if you're only peppers. I have no sympathy for somebody

314
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: who goes out of the way to whack a cop. Gee,

315
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: you're lucky if you're only gonna get pepper sprayed. Oh yeah.

316
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: And I mean this is what bugs me is that

317
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: it's always the story becomes bigger because the cops were physical. Yeah,

318
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: not because two people were once again shoplifting from a

319
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: store and they have gotten physical with the security guards.

320
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: It's only when the cops respond because because they're supposed

321
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: to know better and be above all this, how dare

322
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: they act like?

323
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're not in the news business. Everybody is

324
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: in the Let's create a fake, dramatic story to grab

325
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: people's attention. That's what they do in the news departments

326
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: in La. Boy, that's bad. That's a stinker. You know what,

327
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back and look at all the which

Speaker 1: The iHeartRadio app.

00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: one eight seven seven moist eighty six one eight seven

342
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: seven sixty six four seven eighty eighty six. We find

343
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: out today that well Madonna had to be revived with

344
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: nar can. But Donna was found unresponsive in her home

345
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: on June twenty fourth. It was a big story that

346
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: she had to be taken to the intensive care unit.

347
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: Then they said she had a bacterial infection. But now

348
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: we find out that they administered an injection of narcan,

349
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: although the story from Radar Online they're still around Radar online,

350
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: is that she was not an overdose. Also, you use

351
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: narkan to combat septic shock and that may have been

352
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 2: the reason that they tried to revive her with narcan.

353
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, if she had a bacterial infection for a month,

354
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: it infected the bloodstream and eventually your whole body starts

355
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: to shut down and the septic shock causes extremely low

356
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: blood pressure, which is also what overdosing on opioids does.

357
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: So the narcan attacks that particular symptom to bring you

358
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: back to life.

359
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: Well, the one thing I read in this story that

360
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: I thought was a little she's sixty four years old,

361
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: and apparently insiders say that she has been overworking herself

362
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: to keep up with Taylor Swift. And I'm like, yeah, really,

363
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: you need to keep up with Taylor Swift because Taylor

364
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: Swift is doing four hour concerts. And I also read

365
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: that she's she's looking.

366
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: At Pink, who's in her early forties, but he's doing

367
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: aerial acrobatics at her concerts.

368
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: Right, But so Madonna had a great run. Does she

369
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: really have to think that he's Well, look at a

370
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: contemporary of the two people you just mentioned hardly.

371
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: Do you see what she's done to her face? Yeah,

372
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: well there's a picture here I'm looking at.

373
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: I mean, was that the Grammy Awards she was at

374
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: or something and everybody responded harshly to her face? Yeah,

375
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: well that's it looked completely like a plastic mold is

376
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: over it too.

377
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: It's hard for these women to be in entertainment and

378
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: have such a great career and then compete against younger

379
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: beautiful talent. Female celebrities have a tough time as a age, Yes,

380
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: but you can't get surgery that makes it look like

381
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: you got hit by a bus. I don't think that

382
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: was her intention.

383
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I'm not her intention, but wow,

384
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: she didn't.

385
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: She didn't do any research on the doctor beforehand, Like

386
00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: what happened?

387
00:18:59,520 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: You never know?

388
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: Oh with you just don't know how your face is

389
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: going to turn out. Well, here's the trade off.

390
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: And she does look wrinkle free, but her face looks

391
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 2: completely stretched and.

392
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird. She can't. She can't like move

393
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: her lips. She can't.

394
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: That's the price of being wrinkled for there's not a

395
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: lot of wrinkles on her face. A Madonna Halloween mask

396
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: looks better than that. I mean, it's something that was

397
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: attached and because of you guys that make us women

398
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: feel that we.

399
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: Have right the toxic male demands women keep up.

400
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: I never demanded Madonna do anything, you know, so he

401
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 2: took the toxic.

402
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: I never I know what that who's that directed at.

403
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: All?

404
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: Right?

405
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: Back to the world of two stories on the City

406
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles that are worth talking about. The first

407
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: one is the Los Angeles City Council. What could go

408
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: wrong with this idea, a city owned public bank. They've

409
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 2: been trying to do this for years, and all of

410
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 2: this is part of the same big umbrella that the

411
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: American capitalist corporate system has failed too many people. The

412
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: government needs to step in, sure, So let's put the

413
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: city council in charge of it. Yeah they're not, they're

414
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: real company financially.

415
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, yeah, they have so many people going to

416
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: prison for financial crimes. Why not give them a bank.

417
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: How many councilmen do you think will embezzle from the bank,

418
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: says a fear public corruption from this absolutely influence over

419
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: politicians and all the money in the public bank.

420
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: I saw last week Ridley Thomas lost his appeal. He did.

421
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: I went before his lawyers, went before a federal judge,

422
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 2: made a couple of stupid arguments, and the judge rejected

423
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: within a day or two.

424
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Ridley Thomas can't wait to attach himself to

425
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: his bank as soon as he gets out. The idea

426
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: of a public bank has been around since twenty eighth,

427
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: well for years. It was rejected by voters in twenty eighteen,

428
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: they were going to amend the city. He tried to

429
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: allow it, but then a year later, dipity do Newsome

430
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: signed a state law that does allow cities and counties

431
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: to establish public banks. So they put it back on

432
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: the table for the l A City council. Half the

433
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: city council will steal money from this bank, nearly half

434
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: a million dollars to the next phase of creating a

435
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: public bank. It would be would be driven by the

436
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: needs of Los Angeles communities, not private shareholders. You see,

437
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: they're making the anti capitalist corporate argument. Don't put your

438
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: money in the LA City Bank. You're never going to

439
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: see it again. Now, would the FDIC guarantee those I

440
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: don't know how that works. I never I've never heard

441
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: of this concept, at least not in a not in

442
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: a free society.

443
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: It doesn't say in the story if anybody else has

444
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: done this, you know, outside of like a communist country.

445
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: They're going to be flying to Paris with your deposit. God,

446
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: if people are stupid enough this I can't wait for

447
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: this story. People are stupid enough to put to put

448
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: their money in a bank that's going to be run

449
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: by the LA City council. WHOA, that's that's gonna be

450
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: highly entertaining. What do you think is gonna happen. You

451
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: don't have your money stolen?

452
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: It's all well, they're all neglected by Wall Street. Communities

453
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: of color are not served by the banking system as

454
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: it is. So now, sure you can have a bank

455
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: that would offer low cost debt and free banking for

456
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: low income communities.

457
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: What is this nonsense? If you have money, the bank

458
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: takes your money. They don't look at your color, they

459
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: look at your money.

460
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: Oh, you can't get any loans and you get bad service.

461
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: Well you have to show that you can pay back

462
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: the loans.

463
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Really, they make money on loaning loaning out cash. That's

464
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: the that's their big business. That's how they make their profit.

465
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: So if you've got a good credit score and you

466
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: have a history of paying back your debts, then yeah,

467
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: they'll they'll loan your money. If they're not loaning you money,

468
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: it's because you didn't pay back the last guy. I'll

469
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: give me this nonsense. Uh.

470
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: The other la story actually takes us back to the

471
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: fourth of July. I thought I was seeing things and

472
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: I saw the headline in the story. You know how

473
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: they do gun buy back programs. They were doing fireworks

474
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: buy back programs that the Los Angeles Police Department organized

475
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: the event. They said they collected over three hundred and

476
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: eighty pounds of commercial consumer and a homemade fireworks.

477
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: It's nothing.

478
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: People got things like tickets to Dodger games or Universal

479
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 2: Studios or gas cards. That's what they got in return

480
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: for handing over their fireworks. It was the idea of

481
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: Monica Rodriguez who created the buyback program in twenty twenty one.

482
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: It's just stupid. That is a tiny speck of the fireworks.

483
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: And I was gonna say, I believe we heard a

484
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: lot of noise the other night throughout Los Angeles.

485
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a war zone. I'm surprised your your

486
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: wealthy mountaintop neighborhood was so so crazy. Oh my god, ridiculous.

487
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: It was below John, it was below Oh. Oh the

488
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: peasants down Belower were acting up. I see, Oh, is

489
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: that what happened? Sorry about that?

490
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

491
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: Valley and Eric.

492
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: Eric Sklar contributed because he was hanging out with people

493
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 2: who were firing off illegal fireworks, Thank.

494
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: You very much. Eric was with the riff Raft. He

00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: was I was having a great time. You should have aimed.

496
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: If you, Deborah, it's a fire zone. What's wrong with you?

497
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 3: Exactly?

498
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,359

00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 2: Valley National Park and a parent heat victim, but he'd

511
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: make it back to his car or They noticed a

512
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: car about thirty yards off the road at ten o'clock

513
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: in the morning, and they responded and they found a

514
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: man dead.

515
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: This happened on Monday.

516
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: Of course, Death Valley has some of the hottest temperatures

517
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: on the planet. Deep this is darky in the park

518
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: was one hundred and twenty six. The overnight low is

519
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 2: ninety eight there.

520
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: This is Darwinism. The guy goes out and takes a

521
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: walk in one hundred and twenty six degree heat, the

522
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: hottest desert in the world now, the hottest desert in

523
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: the world, and he goes out during the day and

524
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: he doesn't have enough water.

525
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: Come on, they should cars air conditioning wasn't working. The

526
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: driver had the window down, but apparently did not survive

527
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: and died of heat related illness.

528
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's asking for it. It is.

529
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: The car had two flat tires. I don't know John

530
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: that he was hiking. I have a feeling that his

531
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: car broke down and he tried to I don't know

532
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: what he tried to do. But does he have a phone? Yeah,

533
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't say do they have service in the end

534
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: the desert there, that could be a tough place to

535
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: get So you've gotta have tons of water with you.

536
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: You go dry anything anywhere near that kind of heat,

537
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: you have to just yeah, it's just cases of water

538
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: with you.

539
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, we don't know whether or not Elon Musk is

540
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: actually gonna have a fight with Mark Zuckerberg of any kind.

541
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: But the big story today is that Meta Zuckerberg's company

542
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: introduced their own version of Twitter.

543
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: It's called Threads. Yeah, it's kind of stupid.

544
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: Thirty million people plus have already joined just in the

545
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: first day. I guess it started today. It's an app

546
00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: that's built for conversations that is more productive and posts.

547
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: They're trying to, I guess, attract people that don't like

548
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: Elon Musk and don't like Twitter anymore.

549
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: So what people are gonna go there and say nice

550
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: things to each other? Well, that's fascinating. That's not human nature.

551
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: How long is that gonna last? Now?

552
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: Twitter is threatening. Threads is a copycat that has used

553
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: trade secrets from former Twitter employees that were hired by Meta.

554
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: According to a letter, Meta deliberately assigned these employees to

555
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: develop in a matter of months the copycat Threads app,

556
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: with the specific intent that they use Twitter's trade secrets

557
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: and other intellectual property in order to accelerate the development

558
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: of their competing app. I suppose if they can prove

559
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: that they might have a case, right, yeah, yeah, I

560
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: mean that's that's difficult to prove. But the response from

561
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: Threads people was no one on the Threads engineering.

562
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: Team as a former Twitter employee. That's just not a thing.

563
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: There's a number of these competing social media sites. None

564
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: of them have gained much traction. Uh, The primary reason

565
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: is you could say, hey, I'm going to threads, but

566
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: then all the people that you correspond with have to

567
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: go there too, and they're not going to go unless

568
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: they know all their other friends. And most people just

569
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: don't want to be bothered. Yeah, this, this, this, this,

570
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: this is the kind of category where the first one

571
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: in is going to win because it meets your needs

572
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: and there's no reason to go somewhere else because you can.

573
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: People have been leaving Twitter, haven't they. That's what I've read.

574
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: Some people make political statements because they don't mean they're

575
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: down to ten employees, right, they don't. Yeah, it turns

576
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: out you don't. You don't need that many employees maybe

577
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: not well, well, they're upset still functioning, right, they're upset

578
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: with Musk's politics, or they're upset with under the old

579
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: regime the censorship that went on. Now, you know, so

580
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: you see some home but you know, what I was

581
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: reading today that that really intelligent people don't go on

582
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 1: social media because they have no desire to express their

583
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: opinions to strangers or read other people's opinions. They've got

584
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: better things to do, which is what I thought for

585
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: moment one, Like if you really got something going on

586
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: in your life, why would you spend time reading other

587
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: people's stupid thoughts? And ninety nine percent of them are stupid? Really,

588
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: And I think there's a direct correlation with IQ, like

589
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: the more time you spend on social media, the less

590
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: you got going on in your head.

591
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

592
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're never on it. You must be

593
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: a genius. Who Deborah, I was talking to you. But sure,

594
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: deb too.

595
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

596
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: I don't really know people on any of these things

597
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: except read Facebook people.

598
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about it. Well, I have one friend that's

599
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: on Instagram. That's it. All dever does is post fashion

600
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: photos and yeah, and what's wrong with that? No, but

601
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean you're not You're not constantly promoting your your

602
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: opinions or reading other people. No, I don't use social

603
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: media for that person. You just stay in touch with

604
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: your friends to show off your your dogs, right, and

605
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: I promote myself right right, your your business stuff. Yes, yeah,

606
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: that's different.

607
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: All I know is the cell phone is just taking

608
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: over the world. When I see people now, all they're

609
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: doing is thumbing through their phone. That's all they're doing,

610
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: especially if they're under thirty.

611
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: Especially all they are doing, especially if they're driving well

612
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 1: and stopped at a red light. I am going to

613
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: drag a person out of their car and beat them.

614
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: The next one who's at a green light and is

615
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: not moving because they're scrolling, I'm just warning. I'm warning

616
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: the city. I'm going to with my bare hands grab

617
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: you by the neck and drag you out, and I'll

618
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: destroy your phone. When the light goes green. You must move,

619
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: stop scrolling, Stop reading your damn stupid texts.

620
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 2: Got almighty and now from the drug cartel world of Mexico.

621
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: Apparently one of the drug cartels has got a new

622
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: strategy to send a warning to people who might defy

623
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: the cartel's business. They've apparently been leaving body parts hanging around.

624
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: In a town called Teluca, just west of Mexico City,

625
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: a human leg was found hanging from a bridge.

626
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: Oh in a pedestrian.

627
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: Bridge, so in case you're walking over the bridge, you

628
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: would see the leg hanging there.

629
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: It's nice.

630
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: Parts of at least of the trunk of a body

631
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: was left on the street below. Other body parts were

632
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: found in another neighborhood, along with handwritten drug cartel signs nearby.

633
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: They believe the victim was a man between the ages

634
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: of thirty five and forty, and I guess they chopped

635
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: him up and left his parts in different places of

636
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: the city. They eventually discovered a dismembered body in a

637
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: neighborhood in the city's east side, along with a sign

638
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: that looked like the other sign.

639
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Not sure what the sign says. How are the cartels

640
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: able to find so many psychotics willing to chop up

641
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: human bodies? I mean, you don't see You don't see

642
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: that in America very much, right, We've got plenty of

643
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: gangs and criminals. And but there's something about the drug cartels.

644
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: Do they teach him how to do this?

645
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

646
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there is. There is some type of

647
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: training that then you have to go through certain bodibles,

648
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: body hacking rituals, the well.

649
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: You know, the most ruthless wins. And obviously, if you're

650
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: sending a message like this, who's going to defy you?

651
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: If someone would would actually not only murder you, but

652
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: to tear up your body and leave it all around town,

653
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: you don't want to mess with them. No, it's the message,

654
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: I know. But you're wondering who would do this?

655
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: Well, it's just so many of them. I mean, This

656
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: story is constant. Remember the h the when they skinned

657
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: people's faces off their skulls and let them hanging on

658
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: lamp posts, right, yeah, I do remember that? Right Yeah?

659
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: Who even thinks of that? Let alone does it?

660
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: There's a cartel guy in charge of those thinking of

661
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: the face, what can we do?

662
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: They will intimidate people the most. There were faces hanging

663
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: on lamp posts in the Vegica.

664
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 2: They carved off people's skin and yeah, left it all

665
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: over the place. You're right, I'm not going to mess

666
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: with that guy, all right. He's usually the elected officials

667
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: say all the right things. Well, we must fight this.

668
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: This will bring us all together, We must fight this.

669
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm sticking here in that phrase. Do everybody when this

670
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: particular cartel, I'd never really heard of this one before,

671
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: the Familia mik Ocanna. They dominate that area, so they

672
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: believe that they may now be trying to take over

673
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: the state capital. This was another way of them sending

674
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: a message, don't interfere with our business, because it did.

675
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: It actually originated there in the early two thousands, but

676
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: apparently it has found a new lease on life in

677
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: this particular part of Mexico known for carrying out ruthless,

678
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: bloody ambushes of police and local residents.

679
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: In the in the area around there. That's that's their business,

680
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: all right.

681
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: We got more coming up. We'll be back on the

682
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 2: homeless beat. We're gonna do a story that made news

683
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: last week. And this would be bothersome if it came

684
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: to your neighborhood. How would you like it if one

685
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 2: of your neighbors who might have a big yard, decided

686
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: to let twenty people park their RVs in his yard. Well,

687
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,320
