We will have an update on 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: that train derailment yesterday in Missouri, an Amtrak train derail. 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: The death toll is now up to four people. Many 13 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: other injuries were suffered by passengers on that train, and 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: the update has to do with the whole safety with 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: this crossing. It was a dump truck that the train hit, 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: and there are apparently some people who live locally that 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: say that's been an issue for years called an uncontrolled crossing, 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: meaning there's pretty much nothing there to indicate that there 19 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: might be a train coming in terms of crossing, gates, lights, 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: any of that stuff.

All right, Well, the California justice 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: system never ceases to amaze, surprise, and infuriate. And now 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: we have this story. A couple of drug traffickers by 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: the name of Jose Sandas and Benito Madrigal from the 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: state of Washington were detained into Laurie County with get this, 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand fentinel pills. Now everybody up 32 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: and down the state is raging about the drug crisis. 33 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: Young people are dying from fetnyl. Sometimes it's being put 34 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: in drugs they didn't know it was in there. It 35 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: can be very deadly and even small amounts, but it's 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: cheaper provides a high that people are enjoying, so it's 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: become the big drug in America these days. A lot 38 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: of these pills are made in countries like China and 39 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: they are smuggled into this country. That's probably what these 40 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: two guys were up to. But what we want to 41 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: talk about is the fact that they were released on 42 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: their own recognisance pretty quickly after their arrest. We're going 43 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: to talk to the Tlauri County Sheriff, Mike Boudreau. Welcome 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: to the show. I sure appreciate it. Thank you very much, well, Sheriff, 45 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: and in your own words, tell us what happened here 46 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: with these with the arrest of these two men. Well, 47 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: I was listening to you talk and met you were 48 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: spot on. You know. We we deal with drug traffickers 49 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: up and down the Central Valley, the night Highway ninety 50 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: nine and the Interstate five. They go right through the 51 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: center at California. So we're a corridor for drug trafficking 52 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: from the Mexican border all the way up through the 53 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: states and then across the country. And so we have 54 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: highway interdiction teams. We have drug teams just as anyone 55 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: else in the state. In this particular case, we were 56 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: able to put a dope sniffing dog that hit on 57 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: the vehicle and we located one hundred and fifty thousand 58 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: fent in all pills. Now, even as of this morning, 59 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: we learned in searching the car. Further, we loaded located 60 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: two kilos of cocaine as well. That's fresh off the press. 61 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: You're the first to hear it. But we know with 62 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand fenton Al pills, you know 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: this is an epidemic all across the country. As you indicated, 64 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: the drugs come in from China, they move into Mexico, 65 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 1: they produce and stamp those fenton All pills and then 66 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: bring them across the border. Here's part of the problem. 67 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: So if you're taking it all and you have either 68 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: drug addictive behaviors or and or your party in for 69 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: the weekend, what have you, and you're used to, say, 70 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: a five milligram pill, what's happening is that these pills 71 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: are being stamped with no regulatory controls. So if you're 72 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: used to five milligrams, but yet no one's controlling that 73 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: stamping of that pill, you can easily end up with 74 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: forty milligrams in your system. And so what you're used to, 75 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: your systems now overloaded and you die. And it's happening 76 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: all across the country with that aspect, So talk about 77 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: So it was your sheriff's deputies that detained these guys, 78 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: how is it they got released just days after they 79 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: were arrested. Do you have you be able to track 80 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: this down? We have, We know exactly how it happened, 81 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: and it goes a little deeper before I get to 82 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: the explanation of what's happening. Look, In my opinion, California 83 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: has a failed system of justice. It needs reform. This 84 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: soft on crime approach is not helping anyone. I'm the 85 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: biggest believer in rehabilitation as anyone else, but demanding that 86 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: these drug users and dealers are more of a social 87 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: issue than they are a criminal aspect is really damaging 88 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: the quality of life for Californians, And so our legislator 89 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: and Sacramento, our governor. I'm not a big believer in 90 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: this soft on crime. We need to harden up our 91 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: approach when it comes to our drug dealers, when it 92 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: comes to our drug traffickers in this case, all across 93 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: the state of California. Probation goes in before anyone even 94 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: goes to court, and they do what's called a risk assessment. 95 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: They take a look, are they likely to reoffend? Are 96 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: they going to be violent in nature? Committing violent crimes 97 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: against others? Are we able to confirm that where they 98 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: live and will they return to court? And so if 99 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: that happens, then they release them from jail before they 100 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: ever see a judge to come back on a later day. 101 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: When you say day, who are you talking about? Day? 102 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: This our probation department that happens to fall up and 103 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: down the state of California. Yeah, every sheriff is faced 104 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: with this. And I'm gonna tell you. I sit on 105 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: the California State Sheriff's Association Executive Board. I'm the vice president. 106 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: I meet with all fifty eight sheriffs in the state 107 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: of California. There's fifty eight counties, fifty eight elected sheriffs, 108 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: and we meet on a regular basis. They're frustrated. What 109 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: we're seeing with this soft on crime approach is a 110 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: quality of life for our communities. That's endangering our children, 111 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: endangering those who really do need help, that have drug 112 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: addictive behaviors, and the approach is making it harder and 113 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: harder for law enforcement to deal with these type of offenses. 114 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: And so when the Probation Department takes that assessment to 115 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: a judge, if they see that it's low risk, then 116 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,559 Speaker 1: they will release them on their own recognis that's what's 117 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: happened here. The problem that I have is no one 118 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: contacted the Sheriff's office. No one got our opinion on 119 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: this drug trafficker. We know that they're a drug trafficking 120 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: organization connected to a cartel. And had they made a 121 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: phone call, had they talked to us, had they the 122 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: probable cause declaration which is attached to every booking sheet, 123 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: they would have seen very quickly that this is not 124 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: someone that should have been released. Now here's the unfortunate 125 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: side you're hearing of this story, because it's a shocking 126 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: story to the senses. We are seeing this in law 127 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: enforcement up and down the state every single day, every 128 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: single day with different cases, misdemeanor cases. We just two 129 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: weeks ago had human traffickers that were released because they 130 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: felt through the risk assessment that they were unlikely to 131 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: offend again before trial. This is a system that's failed, 132 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: and it's failing us, and it's failing Californians. But these 133 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: two were held in your sheriff's jail. We booked them 134 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: on a Friday night. We made this arrest at about 135 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: seven o'clock. I think they were booked sometime before ten o'clock. 136 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: They were assessed by the probation department and released by 137 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: the judge at three o'clock the next morning or the 138 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: next afternoon on a Saturday. They were in jail less 139 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: than eighteen hours, never have gone before a judge, and 140 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: the probation department never interviewed them personally. They went on 141 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: the computer system to look at the booking record. Wow, 142 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean, one hundred and fifty thousand fedenyl pills. That's 143 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: got to be a serious case, is it not. It's 144 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: a federal case. It's a serious federal case. The Feds 145 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: take it very serious. We take it very serious. This 146 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: is a high impact drug trafficking group. This is one 147 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand pills in the tune of about 148 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: three quarters of a million dollars, averaging about five dollars 149 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: a pill, give or take. And so in this particular case, 150 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: what we like to say is, even though these two 151 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: guys are released and we probably will never see them 152 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: again unless we get lucky on on a wrest warrant 153 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: of some type, at least these hundred and fifty thousand 154 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: pills never hit our streets. On average, one out of 155 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: every six pills contains a deadly dose. Who knows how 156 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: many lives we saved in seizing this evidence. Well, how 157 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: does this work? Because this is a federal crime. Shouldn't 158 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: this have been turned right over to the federal authorities 159 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: once the arrest were made for fedenyl case never made 160 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: it there. It was eighteen hours later. We don't even 161 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: have the We don't even have the ink dry on 162 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: the paperwork to submit to our probation. People are county, right, 163 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: they should have been told this is not your jurisdiction. 164 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: This is now a federal case. Stay out of it. No, 165 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: well no, not necessarily, because the Feds have to agree 166 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: to file the case right and our local district attorney 167 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: has to agree to turn the case over to the 168 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Feds and or file it here locally as a state case. 169 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: This is happening up and down the state of California. 170 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: You can call any sheriffrom the state and they're going 171 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: to tell you the same that these assessments are done 172 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: and people were released on a daily basis that should 173 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: not be released. So we're yeah, like you said, we're 174 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,359 Speaker 1: not likely to see these guys again, are we not likely? Yeah? Unfortunately, 175 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: did they pay bail? Or something or no, they didn't 176 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: pay bail. They were released by the judge. Wow, it's 177 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: shocking to the senses. I'm with you, and I'm frustrated. 178 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: As a law enforcement leader, i am responsible for public safety. 179 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: We had a good case here. We had a good 180 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: case where we could prosecute, potentially dismantle a drug trafficking organization, 181 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: potentially dismantle a cartel, and or gain intelligence in regards 182 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: to how this is taking place up and down the state. 183 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: These guys were heading to Washington, but we don't know 184 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: how many places they were going to stop along the way, 185 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: arguably at least one hundred and fifty thousand times. But 186 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: they're going to you know, we're going to be working 187 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: with our federal partners. We're hoping that we can catch 188 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: these guys again and hopes are high, but the likelihood 189 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: is not very high. Not without any consequences. They are 190 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: probably going to be driving through your accounty again. Well, 191 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: and you know, the message to drug dealers and drug 192 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: trafficking organizations and cartels is says, hey, look, the risk 193 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: is very much worth the reward because the risk is 194 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: so low. You know, we are we are experiencing a 195 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: very soft on crime government in California, and everyone recognizes 196 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: it and it's just not going to work very much longer. 197 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: All right, Sheriff Boudreau, thanks for talking to me. I 198 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: sure appreciate it. Thank you for the time and telling 199 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: the story. All right, that's Tulaari County Sheriff Mike Boudreau again. 200 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: The story's hard to believe. We learned it from Fox 201 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: News and of course Build Malusion, their excellent reporter, that 202 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: two guys with one hundred and fifty thousand fentnel pills 203 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: were caught in that county and they were out on 204 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: their own recognizance within hours thanks to the probation system 205 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: which did an assessment and decided what's the risk here, 206 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: but not even bail their own recognisance. You'll never see 207 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: them again. Let's take get caught again? All right? Coming 208 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: up next on the John and Ken Show, your Chance 209 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: at a thousand dollars with the last keyword of the day, 210 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: and we'll update you on the derremant of the Amtrak 211 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: train in Missouri John and Ken Show on kf I 212 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: AM six forty and well. Yesterday the big story was 213 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: the deremant of the Amtrak train in Missouri, a rural 214 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: part of Missouri called mendon which is outside of Kansas City. 215 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: This was a train that actually he started in La 216 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: was on its way to Chicago. They added another person 217 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: to the death toll. Four people died. It was a 218 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: dump truck that was on the tracks that the train hit. 219 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: A lot of the cars fell on their side, and 220 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: of course there was chaos and a lot of people 221 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: really concerned. They're still doing the clean up. There two 222 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: three people inside the train died and then a man 223 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: I think driving the dump truck. The update today is 224 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: from a local farmer by the name of Mike Spencer. 225 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: He's a farmer in Menden, Missouri, and he says, here's 226 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: the audio. It's all on Amtrak. I was under the 227 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: impration that this was going to be fixed starting in 228 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: July of last year. They had promised me that in 229 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: July first was their fiscal year, started their fiscal year, 230 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: they were going to get started on the project. They 231 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: were gonna fix three of these crossings, one here and 232 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: then we've got two more on down through here about 233 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: probably within the next two miles. In November, nothing was done. 234 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: I contacted them. They said, don't don't put any pressure 235 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: on them, they're working on it. In January, contacted them 236 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: again and they said that it would have been tabled 237 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: and as to their knowledge that there would be nothing 238 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: done in the foreseeable future. I asked them if they 239 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: could cut the brush back, because I was very concerned 240 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: come spring when the trees started leaving out, that nobody 241 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: would be able to see the trains coming down the track. 242 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: And anyway, nothing, nothing. I never did get a response. 243 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: So now here we are today, facing this tragedy that 244 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: has taken several lives. And I never, in my wildest 245 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: dreams thought it might be a passenger train that would 246 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: be involved in this. And it's just it's just a 247 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: sad day. And I would have done anything in my 248 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: power to even fix it myself if that's what it 249 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: If that's what you know, would have been possible. They 250 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: knew it was unsafe. They they they had determined that 251 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: that was That was pretty much a no brainer. They, uh, 252 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: whatever reason. I don't know. If I just didn't want 253 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: to spend the money, I can't answer for that. Let 254 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: me ask you this, did you fear something like this? 255 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, well, I predicted this was going to happen. 256 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: I was certain that this was gonna happen. It was 257 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: just a matter of time. I'd already talked to us 258 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: several of the neighbors around here. That's the reason I'd 259 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: posted it on Facebook. I was very concerned that somebody 260 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: that was not familiar. We'd come driving down through here 261 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: and um, you know, there's there's duck hunters that hunt 262 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: here that are that are not real familiar with these 263 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: roads and these crossings that are from the city. I 264 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: was concerned about them. I was concerned about the truck drivers, 265 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: and I'm highly concerned about these truck drivers that were 266 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: hauling rock up here to our levy to do some 267 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: lever REVERI this is on the railroad shoulders. This is 268 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: on the railroad shoulders. Absolutely, they've known this as a problem. 269 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: You know, this is there's been complaints here by several people, 270 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: and I mean I've pretty much instigated the getting this 271 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: thing fixed. And I just feel like my hands have 272 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: been tied. I mean, you know, it's like they were concerned, 273 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: but not concerned enough to do anything. I think it 274 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: could have totally been avoided, and I know it could 275 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: have been avoided. There's no reason for this to have 276 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, my heart goes out to the families that 277 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: you know are involved here. You know, whether you know 278 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: they've got loved going in injured or dead or whatever. 279 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: It's just it's just a tragedy and don't feel like 280 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: it should have happened. That's Mike Spencer. He's a farmer 281 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: in mending Missouri soybeans and such. He's been very involved 282 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: in this. And I should say it's not on Amtrak. 283 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: The actual owner of the track is b n SF Railway. 284 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: They actually own the track. That's what he's blaming for this, 285 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: because he said for the past three years they've been 286 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: talking to him about this, that that crossing is very dangerous, 287 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: that people are told you have to stop and look 288 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: both ways because it's uncontrolled, meaning there's no gates, there's 289 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: no electronic sounds, nothing. It just looks like any other intersection. 290 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: As you heard him say, somebody who comes along here 291 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: and is unfamiliar with these crossings won't think much of it. 292 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: He thinks the train they usually go between forty and 293 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: fifty miles an hour through these crossings. But this poor 294 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: man in the dump truck probably just was it aware. 295 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: You heard him talk about how they need to cut 296 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: the brush back. He may not have been able to 297 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: see the train. I don't know that the train blows 298 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: its horn when it's passing through crossings to try to 299 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: alert anybody, particularly through this very area of Missouri. This 300 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: is probably true in a lot of parts of the country. 301 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: Nearly half of Missouri's thirty eight hundred public highway railroad 302 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: crossings are not equipped with any safety features. So you 303 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: know how it is that people that want to stop 304 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: light or stop sign in a neighborhood sometimes have to 305 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: wait till somebody dies before they get it and they 306 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: get the attention the story deserves. That's probably what's going 307 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: to happen here. They're probably going to do more in 308 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: this part of Missouri to install something safer at these 309 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: railway crossings so that people who are driving through have 310 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: a better idea there's a train coming. Because the most 311 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: of us have live in more urban places, you know, 312 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of noises and sounds that come anytime 313 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: a train is passing through, but it's not the case 314 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: in a lot of urban America. All Right, we got 315 00:17:53,680 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: more coming up on the John and Ken Show. All Right, 316 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: shares in the room, We love it. Someone, can we 317 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: play this song Eric, though we can't play too much 318 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: of it or no, not too much? Good? What do 319 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: they tell you? Twenty seconds? What is the rule? Yeah, 320 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: it's like twenty or thirty seconds of my favorites because 321 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: I like to turn back time Ken Show, I know 322 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: you got this thing about me singing, which I feel 323 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: weirdly uncomfortable. Hi, I don't know. Could you get all 324 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: excited when I just sing two notes? And I don't 325 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: really understand. I don't have a good voice. I just 326 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: I think it's fine that could Yes? Who half breathe? 327 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: That's all? I have a hit? So yeah, Because we 328 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: can't play the music for very long because they want 329 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: their money, I could just do a medley of her 330 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: greatest hits. Why are we playing share music? Well? Over 331 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: the weekend, she took some potshots at Governor Dippity do. 332 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: What are you gonna you know? Share? Was on The 333 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show? Did you know this debramark? She 334 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: called into the John and Kenn She did. We didn't 335 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: believe it was her, but it turned out it was her. 336 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: She sometimes dabbles in hot political issues and I don't 337 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: remember this is the problem having what she called in about. 338 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: But we thought it was an impersonator, but it was her. 339 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: I forget how we verified that. Even I think it 340 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: may have had something to do with I legal immigration, 341 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: but I don't remember. It was whatever the hot issue 342 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: was back in the nineteen nineties. So she tweeted out 343 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: over the weekend the following, Governor Newsom, I think you 344 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: skate by on your quasi good looks. It is not 345 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: enough with two red exclamation points. I would vote for 346 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: you before any Republican. And it's an emoji of some 347 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,479 Speaker 1: kind of face. It looks like it's wincing, but ID 348 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: I'd chew nails before ID I'd vote for a Republican. Gov. 349 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: Get your and it's another emoji face. It's red looking angry. 350 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: Get your act together, Gov. Newsom, meet one of your constituents. 351 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 1: And what she included in the tweet was photos of 352 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: people lying down sleeping on the sidewalk. Looks like two 353 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: different guys. I don't know what neighborhood this is. I 354 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: don't even know where she lives now, but I guess 355 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: the point is she doesn't think that Newsom's taken care 356 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: of these transients who have camped out on the sidewalk. 357 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: So somebody named Janelle responded, and this is what Janelle wrote. 358 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: He has done more for the homeless in this state 359 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: than any other gov. It's the mayors and city councils 360 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: who need to and this was capitalized step it up. Wow. 361 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: There was one person on Twitter defending Governor Dippity do 362 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to the homeless. Share responded to that, Okay, 363 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 1: let them all sleep in the street sidewalk covered by 364 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: tiny blanket and that's what these two guys have, like 365 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: a little blanket over their bodies as they sleep on 366 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: the sidewalk. Share, You're right, Dippity Due isn't doing anything 367 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: about the homeless problem. And actually the woman that responded 368 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: is right too. The mayors in the city council aren't either, because, 369 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: as we've mentioned on this show all probably thousands of times, 370 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: it's not a housing issue. Okay, it's a drug addiction, 371 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: mental illness, lazy issue, irresponsible issue. I'd like to add 372 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: those two because they're often forgotten, because even someone who's 373 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: mentally ill and drug or alcohol addicted has their moments 374 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: or their days of lucidity, but they just don't take 375 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: responsibility for their lives. And the response is always but 376 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: who'd want to live like that, Well, that's the life 377 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: they chose. They want to make a difference in their 378 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: own lives. They have to step up and get the 379 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: help that they need. But in the meantime, all of 380 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: the politicians have to take a tougher approach to this. 381 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: If you are going to talk about the Portland homeless story, 382 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: I've been holding on to it. I didn't get to 383 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: it today. I'll probably get to it tomorrow. But Portland's 384 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: another ridiculously progressive place. You remember all of the activists 385 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: and the anarchists are in the streets back in twenty 386 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: twenty almost burning the city down. Well that's because the 387 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: voters there let it happen, and some of them are 388 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: really fed up at the homeless situation. There's apparently people 389 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: living in RV's all over downtown Portland. That's the situation 390 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: in California where we're not seeing any change to that. 391 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: It's a tolerance and it's an idea that we just 392 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: need to build the permanent housing for these people, something 393 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: that right now, even people who have a job and 394 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: a responsible life can't find housing. It's a problem up 395 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: and down the state. But we shouldn't let people who 396 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: drift off into alcohol and drug problems like this, control 397 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: the situation and enable them by letting them just camp 398 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: out on the sidewalks. They need to be told that 399 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: you have to move on. You're not going to camp 400 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: out in public places, and this is probably a sign 401 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: you should get your act together. Not just Newsome, but 402 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: the vagrants too. They have to be held accountable for 403 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: some of this. They're given a pass by almost all 404 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: the politicians, and apparently even Share gives them a pass. 405 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: Now speaking a dipity due a couple of stories popped up. 406 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: He is really trying very hard to be the president 407 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: of the United States. As I've mentioned before, his reelection 408 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: at California governor is a foregone conclusion, so he's setting 409 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: his sights on Washington, d C. He's put himself all 410 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: over social media to speak about the issues, which is 411 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: gun control and now it's Roe v. Wade. We also 412 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: understand that he's reserved one hundred and five thousand dollars 413 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: worth of cable TV ads in Florida. Nobody understands why, 414 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: since that's thousands of miles away from where he actually 415 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: faces reelection this year in California, but everyone believes he's 416 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: doing it so he can get an early start and 417 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: position himself in Florida politics. I guess I don't know 418 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: this guy and his advisors. I mean, this is the 419 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: idiot that went to the French laundry during the lockdown 420 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: and had wine and dinner with his buddies, ignoring his 421 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: own orders for people to stay home and stay out 422 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: of restaurants at the height of the pandemic in late 423 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So I have no idea who's advising him, 424 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: who's calling the shots. But he believes that there's probably 425 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: some people in Florida who don't like the politics of 426 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: that Governor Ron DeSantis, who's expected to be a prime 427 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: contender in twenty twenty four. So since Newstom's got nothing 428 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: else to do, like, we have no problems in this state. 429 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: Even Share will tell you we have problems in this 430 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: state with the homeless. He's spending his time venturing onto 431 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: the national scene and this weird idea that he's going 432 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: to run ads in Florida to raise his profile. Nobody 433 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: knows what they're about yet. But he's not only been 434 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: complaining about Florida's lockdown roles, he's been complaining about their 435 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: laws concerning LGBT issues, so and the whole Disney thing. 436 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: That's possibly what he's going to do, who knows. But 437 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to spend money on being reelected here 438 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: in California. What else to do with this money he's 439 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: decided to And of course, in an interview he's done 440 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: a few interviews, he says he has sub zero interest 441 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: in being president. Well, really, you're not acting like it. Again, 442 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: it's not what people say, it's what people do. And 443 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: he's been all over the national scene. He apparently wants 444 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: to make California a sanctuary state for abortion. That's his 445 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: other big idea. This, of course would include inviting people 446 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: to come here to have an abortion. Isn't that a 447 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: nice tourist campaign? All right? You want to abort your 448 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: next fetus, come to California, We'll welcome you. And I 449 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: imagine that could include paying for the healthcare. Who knows, 450 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: maybe even paying for the travel. I have no idea 451 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: how carried away he's going to get with this, Moore 452 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: coming up on the John and Ken Show here on 453 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: caf I AM six forty today. One of the big stories, 454 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: of course, was this surprise January sixth testimony by a 455 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: woman who used to be an assistant to Trump's chief 456 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: of staff, and of course it's a big story making 457 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: headlines that she's heard from someone else. It's like a 458 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: secondhand story that Trump lunged at his limo driver they 459 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: called the Beast because he wanted to get to the 460 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: cable and joined the mob and they said, no, you're 461 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: going to the west Wang, and he got worked up 462 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: and he lunched at the driver and then apparently grabbed 463 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: the shoulder of one of the Secret Service guys. Anyway, 464 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: from the category of ooh, what does that mean? The 465 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: guy that was the sergeant at arms in the US 466 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: Senate on the day this happened January six, twenty twenty one, 467 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: Michael Stanger died suddenly on Monday. He of course, resigned 468 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: the position not long after the insurrection. He was sergeant 469 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: at arms, responsible for ensuring security around the capital and 470 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: then forcing the Senate's rules for three years, but he 471 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: quit the day after January sixth because of the capital security, 472 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: he couldn't keep the mob out of the building. So 473 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: people are like, what does that mean? Huh? Now we 474 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: take you to Germany for the final story on the 475 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: show Boy. When this happen. It's hard to believe. We 476 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: now have the oldest person ever that's been found to 477 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: be guilty as a former Nazi concentration camp guard. He 478 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: is a hundred and one years old. Germany has laws 479 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: concerning privacy and its criminal justice system, so he's being 480 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: named as Joseph Shoots Shoots in court documents. He's just 481 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: being referred to as Josef s. Germany changed their rules 482 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to trying these Nazi war criminals. This 483 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: happened years ago with the Demjanjuk case, which people may remember. 484 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: That guy was ninety one. Back in twenty eleven, he 485 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: was accused of being an accessory to twenty eight thousand murders, 486 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: and I believe he was taken from the United States 487 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: to Germany to stand trial. What they used to do 488 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: was you had to actually that the person that you're 489 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: trying for war crimes was directly involved in concentration camp activities. 490 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: Now they just make it so that you just have 491 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: to prove that there's a really good chance that they 492 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: were at the camp doing something. They believed that he 493 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: was a guard at the prison camp. This is called 494 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: Sachsenhausen From nineteen forty two to nineteen forty five. So 495 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: he was convicted of being an accessory to the murder 496 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 1: of thousands of Jews and other political prisoners at that camp. 497 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: He got five years in prison, but also under German law, 498 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: you don't actually serve five years, so he probably won't 499 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: serve any prison time at all. And during the trial 500 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: he kept saying things like, I don't know why I'm here. 501 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: I don't understand. He claimed he was some sort of 502 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: a farmer during the time in question, but they believed 503 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: they came up with enough evidence to place him as 504 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: a worker at the prison camp, so one hundred and wood, 505 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: and they said they're racing against time because these people 506 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: are dying. I mean, we're talking about the nineteen forties. 507 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: If they were already in their twenties for thirties at 508 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: the time they worked at these prison camps, just think 509 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: how old they be, all right, Tim Conway and sent 510 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: to the road.
