1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Bit more on the record high gas prices. Coming this hour, 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: we'll talk about Germany. They're afraid they're gonna end up 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: in the dark over there over their energy supplies. The 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: gubmatorial race has a debate coming up, and in fact, 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: one of the two running for governor will be on 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: our show tomorrow. John, you have a guest, which one 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: it is? Okay, never mind, you want to pay attention. Okay, 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: let's move on right now and talk about a training 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: accident that occurred involving the Los Angeles Police Department back 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: in May, Officer Houston Tipping. He died during this training 11 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: session at the LAPD Academy, and the report that was 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: released on his death ruled it an accident. The family 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: is not accepting that. According to the LA Corner, Tipping 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: died of a spinal cord injury after something called a 15 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: grappling exercise. The autopsy found broken ribs that appeared to 16 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: have been caused by Lucas device, which is an automatic 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: CPR machine. The family, of course, thinks that something more 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: nefarious happened to Euston Tipping that day. The mother has 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: retained an attorney by the name of Brad Gage. He 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: was on our show a couple of months ago. But 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: yesterday they held a media event to announce something a 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: bit of a bombshell, that they believed that Officer Tipping's 23 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: death may be connected to the fact that he was 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: investigating in a lleged gang rape perpetrated by four LAPD 25 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: officers last year. Let's bring on Brad Gage and talk 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: more about this development. Brad, thank you for coming on. 27 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. There's a new story that 28 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: says that Chipping rather was killed when he was giving 29 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: a demonstration that involved grappling from a high height with 30 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: another officer and they both fell to the ground and 31 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: that resulted a catastrophic injury to tipping spinal cord. That's 32 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: LAPD story. Can you elaborate on their story and then 33 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: can you tell us what your story is. I just 34 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: received their report about five minutes ago, so I can't 35 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: respond to all of it. But essentially, the report is 36 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: claiming that there was an accident and that this involved 37 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: a bicycle, which is different than what they had indicated 38 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: earlier when they said it was simply grappling without any 39 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: discussion of a bicycle. In the past, LAPD had claimed 40 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: that there was no head injury to officer Tipping, but 41 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: we have documents, including pictures from the CT scan showing 42 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: that in fact, he did have a head injury. LAPD 43 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: seems to claim it was simply a bear hug. How 44 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: can you explain injuries to the top of the head, 45 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: subdermal hematoma, quadriplegia, a broken neck, three broken ribs, and 46 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: a perforated liver from some bear hug accident. It doesn't 47 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: make sense. So we started with that knowledge. From that 48 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: and being in the media, we received a report from 49 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: a woman who claims that she had reported a sexual 50 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: assault two officer Tipping. She had a copy of one 51 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: of her reports that clearly shows Officer Tip took a report. 52 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: It's only a two line report. It indicates there is 53 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: a longer report in possession of the LAPD. We have 54 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: requested those reports and the LAPD has refused and failed 55 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: to produce that to us. So I spoke with the woman. 56 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: The woman alleges that in addition to the sexual assault 57 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: with an instrument, which is in the report, she was 58 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: also raped by officers. The woman claimed that she knew 59 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: the names of three of those officers because they were 60 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: wearing name tags and uniforms when when she saw them, 61 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: she clearly reported this too Officer Tipping. Officer Tipping gave 62 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: her documents with Marzi rights, which would be typically given 63 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: to a victim of rape. She signed documentation indicating the 64 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: names of those officers, and from what we understand, one 65 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: of those officers was at this training exercise. So the 66 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: inference is that this officer may have wanted to do 67 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: harm to Officer Tipping. Correct. We filed a governmental claim 68 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: on Monday alleging, amongst other claims, whistleblower retaliation. When this 69 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: woman first came to me, she came to me saying 70 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: she thought that he may have been killed because of 71 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,559 Speaker 1: her reports to him, and a lot of the things 72 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: that she said checked out. She said she had reported 73 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: to him information on more than one day about this 74 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: event and knew him well enough to know his nickname. 75 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: She also had the instant report numbers and a report 76 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: showing that she made the report to him. You say 77 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: you have sworn declarations from a nurse and paramedic. The 78 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: Tipping had spinal cord injuries that collapsed, lung, broken ribs, 79 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: liver damage, everything consistent with being beaten to death. Well, 80 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: we have medical records and they indicate some of these injuries. 81 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: We also obtained a declaration from a woman who is 82 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: a nurse that was an eyewitness, because initially the LAPD 83 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: claimed that there was no head injury to Officer Tipping, 84 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: LAPD claimed that he had never received a head laceration, 85 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: and they said that he had no staples. So I 86 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: want to respond to that, and I did it by 87 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: showing photographs of the CAT scan, the CT scan showing 88 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: six staples in his head, and also a declaration from 89 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: a woman trained as a nurse that was there an 90 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: eyewitness who reported that indeed he did have that head 91 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: laceration and the six staples were from another incident. The 92 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: six staples were from this incident, is what I have 93 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: been told. So he got evidence seems to go. He 94 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: got treated after this attack. After the attack, he started 95 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: to lose consciousness. I believe he lost the ability to breathe. 96 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: His heart stopped operating. CPR was given to him. He 97 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: was a quadriplegic. He was taken to the hospital. He 98 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: lived for three days. As part of being in the hospital, 99 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: he received stitches to his head. He had two wounds, 100 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: one to each side of his head. He had subdermal 101 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: hematoma's a lot of injuries utile. Yeah, all right. I mean, now, 102 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: this woman who reported this alleged gang rape to Officer Tipping, 103 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: was anybody else present from LAPD? There any other reports 104 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: to back this up rather than other than what she 105 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: brought to you. She brought me the report showing that 106 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: Officer Tipping took the report and it should have been 107 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: reported and followed up on LAPD to not even admit 108 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: the existence of the report that I have in my possession. 109 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: But what was Officer Tipping's role in LAPD? Was in 110 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: on the bicycle squad or something or officer Officer Tipping 111 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: was a bicycle officer, but bicycle officers still do routine 112 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: police work, and routine police work would include taking reports 113 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: of criminal acts. And he just met this woman one 114 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: day on patrol and she told him the story or 115 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: did they know each other somehow, or I think that 116 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: this woman did know him, or certainly knew of him. 117 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: She felt that he was a kind and good officer, 118 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: and so she reported the events to him. And you 119 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: believe that one of the officers that she is pointing 120 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: out as being a sexual assaulter was present at this 121 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: training session where Officer Tipping eventually died. That's the information 122 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: that we've received. It's very difficult because the LAPD, even 123 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: in giving out its reports, does not identify the name 124 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: of the officers that were at the training. So we 125 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: get secondhand information as to the names of the officers 126 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: that are in the training. We have the information from 127 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: her who she claims to this terrible deed, and one 128 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: of those names appears to match up first name and 129 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: last name. So where can you go with this now? Well, 130 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: we have filed the government will claim after a forty 131 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: five day period. We can then file a lawsuit. Following 132 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: the lawsuit, we can then subpoena documents and take depositions 133 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: gather evidence to prove our case. Well, what about a 134 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: criminal murder charge? I have requested today in interviews and 135 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: yesterday that the District Attorney's office look at this. It 136 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: could be manslaughter, to be murdered, could be nothing. They'll 137 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: have to investigate it. But I think this is the 138 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: kind of a situation that cries out for our District Attorney, 139 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: George Gascon to investigate. And I think he is well 140 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: qualified to do this with his LAPD background, so I 141 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: would trust him impeccably to a thorough and proper investigation. Well, 142 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: you may be in luck. This DA seems to be 143 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: inclined to investigate police officers up to no good, so 144 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: that may work in your favor. Well, I think it's 145 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: an important thing that we do. You know. I have 146 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: the utmost respect for law enforcement and police officers. But 147 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: one way to make sure that the good officers are 148 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: treated well and well thought of by society is the 149 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: few bad officer as you go after. And I happen 150 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: to believe ninety nine percent of officers are good, but 151 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: one percent still can do a lot of harm. All right, Brad, 152 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: thank you very much for coming back on the show 153 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: and giving us the update. We appreciate it, and then 154 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: let us know if anything else further develops. All right, 155 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Have a nice evening, all right. That's 156 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: Attorney Brad Gage represents the mother of an LAPD officer 157 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: by the name of Euston Tipping, who died what they 158 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: say was officially from an accident during a training exercise 159 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: back in May at the Academy, But the explosive claim 160 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: now from the attorney is that perhaps he was investigating 161 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: a gang rape and ledge gang rape by several LAPD 162 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: officers of a woman, and one of those officers may 163 00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: have been present when officer Tipping fell or otherwise was beaten, 164 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: because the family is claiming that he was severely beaten 165 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: in the head, not just fell off of a roof 166 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: or something more. Coming up John and Ken's show kf 167 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: I Am six forty Live everywhere in the iHeart Radio app. 168 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge has the home run record, Yes, I heard, 169 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: wait a minute, let off the Yankee game home run 170 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: record sixty two home runs. I thought Sammy Sosa had that. Well, 171 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: he's got the American League home run record, and he 172 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: has the home run record for people who didn't cheat 173 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: with steroids. That's the part I want to do to say, yes, 174 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: the home run record for people who did not cheat 175 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: with stero, that's right, non steroid division. But even so, 176 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: he's got the American League record over Roger Marris. Oh, 177 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: I see all the cheaters were in the National League. 178 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: That's right, they were true. Why not all the cheaters, Well, 179 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: the cheaters that got the home run records, Yeah, all 180 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: the pitchers were in the American Marsha Choir, Yeah, Sammy 181 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: Sosa and Bonds they all had a National league or 182 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: is he right? And they all had sixty plus seasons. 183 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: What about rough pal Merrow he played for the Orioles. Well, yeah, 184 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: but he didn't get a home run record. This is 185 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: a very narrow little category here. Yeahs just focused on 186 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: the home run This record stood for sixty one years though. Yeah. Yeah, 187 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: for the Maris record, yeah, sixty one and sixty one. Yeah, 188 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: we got sixty two and twenty two. So it turns 189 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: out that just a few hours ago, Eric Lenard filed 190 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,599 Speaker 1: a story on what we were just talking about with 191 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: our guest, Brad Gage, the attorney, and that's the death 192 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: of Officer Euston Tipping, and his report filed at NBCLA 193 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: dot com. It was about the internal review that came 194 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: from LAPD and they're standing by their story, but they 195 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: have a little more detail than I think we had before, 196 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: and some of it was covered by attorney Brad Gage. 197 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: They claim Officer Houston Tipping died a week after he 198 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: and another trainee officer fell to the floor during scenario 199 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: in a police academy classroom. He did suffer a catastrophic 200 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: spinal cord injury in falling, the two of them to 201 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: the ground. That's when the injury occurred, according to LAPD 202 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: Chief Michael Moore. Moore provided more details, saying Tipping was 203 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,599 Speaker 1: role playing as an aggressor confronting another officer who was 204 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: a student in the class. Tipping used his head and 205 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: shoulder to push the student officer, who then wrapped his 206 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: arm around the back of Tipping's neck, and when they fell, 207 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: the impact of the ground with the arm of the 208 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: other officer in that position on the backside of Officer 209 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: Tipping's neck resulted in the fracture, the spinal cord fracture 210 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: that killed him four days later. Right now, The other 211 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: interesting thing in this story, because you heard Attorney Brad 212 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: Gage claimed that there were other injuries, including injuries to 213 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: his head and also injuries to I guess his chest 214 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: in internal organs too. The court as report noted the 215 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: laceration to Tipping's left scalp was a result of medical 216 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: intervention detailed as a Mayfield c clamp that was placed 217 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: on his head during spinal surgery, and the rib fractures 218 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: were the result of CPR efforts. That's their story. Engage 219 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: saying Tipping suffered the spinal cord injury. It collapsed, long 220 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: broken ribs, liver damage consistent with being fatally beaten. Yeah, 221 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: well they're writing off the rib fractures to CPR efforts. Yeah, 222 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: neck fractures and anything on the head they're writing off 223 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: to this medical intervention attempt, the c clamp All right, 224 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: but one officer sever he died days afterwards, so there 225 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: was treatment in the hospital. Are but two officers falling 226 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: from a height and hitting the ground is a way 227 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: different scenario than an officer savagely beating another one to death. 228 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: Those are two completely distinct acts. You can't confuse one 229 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: for the other. You cannot know. So somebody is lying. 230 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: I think the only chance that the family has is 231 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: if we get a whistle blower on the inside who 232 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: was there and witnessed this and does tell a different story. 233 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: But of course we all know about the coat of silence. 234 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: Well it comes to police officers, particularly if these are trainees. 235 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: Somebody's feeding gauge this information. So who's that. Well, of course, 236 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: the big of development was this woman who comes forward Clayman. 237 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: She filed a gang rape allegation against LAPD officers, with 238 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: Officer Tipping, who was supposedly investigating it right there has 239 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: to be a depending on when that happened and this 240 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: he died in. I mean that what had happened before, 241 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: then there has to be more evidence of that. If 242 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: that's true, that would explain the motivation for doing the beating. 243 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: If he wanted to, yeah, beat up or kill Tipping 244 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: because he was about to rat out the LA. Yeah, 245 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: he was about to go deepen what happened, right, Yeah, 246 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: But I mean somebody, somebody's making something up on one 247 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: side of the other. Apparently Michael Moore spoke about this 248 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: today at an LAPD Police Commission meeting and that's where 249 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Eric Leonard was. He gave a little more detail about 250 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: the injuries that they say suffered the Tipping suffered in 251 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: this accident. It's a bizarre story and worth keeping an 252 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: eye on. All right, when we come back. The first 253 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: thing we're gonna tell you to day right now tomorrow 254 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: in the four o'clock hour. I don't know if it'll 255 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: be a whole hour, it might be the Republican countate 256 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: for governor. We'll join US State Senator Brian Darling. Oh 257 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: that's what you said before? What did I say? Oh? Yes, 258 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: one of the two people running for governors. No, that 259 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: is what I said. I said, one of the two 260 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: people running for governor will be on our show tomorrow. 261 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: Can you guess which one it is? Right, right? And 262 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: I was actually looking at the details of the tipping 263 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: story and I didn't hear you. Oh okay, ye, so's 264 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: uh that's what's happening tomorrow in the four o'clock hour. 265 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: What I'm thinking about doing is have them taken questions 266 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: from some of our listeners. They're gonna bit, but it's 267 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: it's it's public radio debate coming up in October KQE 268 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: ed in the Bay Area. Oh well, yeah, I didn't 269 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: expect much to come with, no, because nobody's going to 270 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: challenge Newsom. I remember I have I have the seven 271 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: issues and very important issues, my disastrous issues that you 272 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: want to sneak in there and see that's the thing. 273 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: There's there's no one aggressive in the media, and and uh, 274 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: Newsom is supposedly up by over twenty points, so he's 275 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: just gonna have all those warm, fuzzy public radio Oh yeah, 276 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: we're meeting the moment. Yeah, I mean, they're not going 277 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: to do anything. The public radio people don't aren't really 278 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: After exposing a disastrous governor who's a Democrat, who was 279 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: a progressive. On no planet would they do that. All 280 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: journalists should do that, regardless of their political feelings. When 281 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: you have a guy this who's this big a disaster, 282 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: it should be a full court press from morning tonight 283 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: every day of the year. But also maybe a disastrous 284 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: people money when we're in a high time of inflation. 285 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and more Johnny and Ken's show 286 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. 287 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: Chlorinated water is for swimming, not drinking or bathing.

Well 297 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: Up in Stockton, they have now added a couple of 298 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: more people to the list of the serial killer's victims. 299 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: Stockton police now say this serial killer is linked to 300 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: seven shootings, including one now in Oakland. All of the 301 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: victims were by themselves, there was no robbery, that doesn't 302 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: appeared to be any gang involvement. Ballistics tests show that 303 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: it looks like it's linking all of the shootings. We 304 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: do have a woman who has survived the shooting, so 305 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: she might be able to give them some information. But 306 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: they just linked the death of an Oakland man who 307 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 1: was fatally shot. This actually happened in April of last year, 308 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: so I guess what they're doing is they're going back 309 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: and looking closer at some of their unsolved cases and 310 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: some of the ballistics details. And sure enough, Stockton police 311 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: spoke to Oakland police and it's a match. So we 312 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: have somebody in the Stockton area who is killing and 313 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: it's all men that have died, but apparently one woman 314 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: was shot and has survived. They released a surveillance photo 315 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: picture from surveillance video, not much though. It's like a 316 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: guy in a nit cap and it's from behind. They 317 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: said he has a strange, uneven gate in an upright posture. 318 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: But again, all of the victims were ambushed, none were robbed, 319 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: None of the instants are drug related or gang related. 320 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: So they do have some physical evidence linking the scenes together, 321 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: and I guess when they finally get somebody, that might 322 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: be a good way to see if they have the 323 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: right person in custody. Meanwhile, back here, it's another day 324 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: of record gas prices for Los Angeles County. In other 325 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: parts of southern California, several states are sending taxpayers money 326 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: to cope with inflation. As you know here in California, 327 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: this started out as gas price relief, but by the 328 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: time it made its way through the legislature and to 329 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: Governor Dippity Do, it became inflation relief and the money 330 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: has started to go out. Well it will start to 331 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: go out October seventh. There's a couple of economic analysts 332 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: and the story who point out what really is the 333 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: obvious when you're suffering from high inflation, you don't give 334 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: people more money to spend. That'll just drive inflation further. 335 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: In fact, many people have questioned all of the stimulus 336 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: money that went out during the pandemic, and in California 337 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: that continued for a while as just fueling inflation. Definition 338 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: of inflation is pretty basic. It's too much money chasing 339 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: too few goods. So if you pour more money in, 340 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: you're going to get more inflation. I'm thinking differently on 341 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: this though. What's that, Well, this is our tax money 342 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: that they have been excessively confiscating all these years. This 343 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: is not new money that they printed like in Washington. 344 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: That's what creates inflation, is when you had new fake money. 345 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: But this is money that was going to be in 346 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: the economy anyway. It's just we get to spend it 347 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: instead of the government. But it was Yeah, accept you're 348 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: wrong on that. We you, being the taxpayer, ain't getting 349 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: any of this. It's only going to low income people. Okay, 350 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: But because everything's about equity, it's not me, right, but 351 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: not you and a lot of people. But I know, 352 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: I know, but it is going to people. And all 353 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: these people did pay taxes, gas taxes, and our taxes 354 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: are so excessive that I like when when the tax 355 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: money's returned, whatever the reason is, Yeah, that I just 356 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: I just think the inflation comes from creating fake money. 357 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: That's historically what happens in all these countries that end 358 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: up without a control inflation. The government just started running 359 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: the printing press. Oh so you don't mind Sacramento money 360 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,239 Speaker 1: coming because it's the same because otherwise they spend it, 361 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: they'll spend it on something in the economy. So they 362 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: don't print money. They just collect tax so that that 363 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: money always gets spent. It doesn't take it out of 364 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: the system. When when they shut off the printing press 365 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: in Washington, that stops new money from going into the system, 366 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 1: and that should reduce the inflation. But to me, spending 367 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: is spending, whether it's printed money or money that's been 368 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: confiscated by Sacramento. But at least right to Sacramento would 369 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: otherwise spend it on something probably, yeah, right, so at 370 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: least people are getting it, even though it's not me, 371 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: it's not you. But so I don't know, I got 372 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: I got mixed feelings on it, all right. Meanwhile, in 373 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: Germany there was just a story we looked at today 374 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: that people there are really on edge. There's inflation and 375 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: of course fears about an energy crisis. Germany is in 376 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: this weird spot. It's really the most powerful economy in 377 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: all of the European Union, but it is suffering under 378 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: the effects of inflation and the fact that they get 379 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 1: a significant amount of their energy supply from outside the country, 380 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: in particular Russia. So as we head into winter, there 381 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: is a real concern about many citizens there that this 382 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: is only going to get worse. And Germany pretty much 383 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: didn't involve itself too much in the Ukraine. Russia the thing, 384 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: they apparently have some some pretty high end weapons that 385 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: they could send, but that they do there, you don't 386 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: want to get their juices. Following though, inflation hit a 387 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: seventy one year high of ten percent this month, and 388 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: there were of course reports all over the place about 389 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: energy shortages in that country. And I guess last week's 390 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: a story about the nord Stream pipeline being punctured doesn't 391 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: help the situation. Well, they wanted to get the natural 392 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: gas and Russia because they're falling short on their their 393 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: wind and solar They were they were the only country, 394 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: really outside of California, you know, to try this wind 395 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: and solar experiment, and and now they are veering away 396 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: from it. They're they're burning coal, in fact, they're building 397 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: they're burning the dirtiest form of coal, it's called lignite um. 398 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: And they got into trouble over the years because starting 399 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties, there was this anti nuclear energy 400 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: movement and so the German politicians bought into it and 401 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: they started reducing their nuclear energy output. In fact, I 402 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: think they were supposed to close more nuclear energy plants. 403 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: I think three more very soon. And there's a big, 404 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: you know, controversy now because if they do that well, 405 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: and they're cut off from the Russian pipeline and the 406 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: wind and solar is not working out, what are you 407 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: going to do here? They really screwed themselves. They really 408 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: have a bunch of ninnies running Germany, they really do. 409 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I've read a lot, but I've been fascinated 410 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: by this big bet they put on on the wind 411 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: and solar because California did the same stupid thing. And 412 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: then this this whole deal with the Russian gas pipeline 413 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: because Trump told them, don't sell your soul to Russia. 414 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: You know, Russia's going to own you. Trump warned them 415 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: about this, yep, And and but they went ahead. I 416 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: think Biden gave his blessing, and so they were going 417 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: to start pumping lots of natural gas from Russia, and 418 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: the Germans were all happy un until they found out 419 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: there's a price to it. You had to you had 420 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and you had to 421 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: you had to go against NATO's wishes. So they're screwed. Yeah, 422 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: they're walking the fine line because they don't want to 423 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: upset Putin because they still count on Russia for some 424 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: of their supply, so they don't want to get him 425 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: so angry that it becomes a fiasco and he cuts 426 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: off everything. Right, So so there you know. There. Now 427 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: there's there's whole controversy over keeping the nuclear plants open, 428 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: and there are issues with that because they were all 429 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: set to close them and they don't know if there's 430 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: the proper maintenance has gone on to keep them going. 431 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: It's it's a mess there. It's it's just badly managed, 432 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: don't they. People in government jump on silly trends, silly 433 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: social trends like no nukes, no more nuclear energy, It's like, 434 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: are you serious? Uh? And no more burning of coal, 435 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: and no more burning of natural gas or you can 436 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: burn natural gas as long as you're not burning coal 437 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: or you're not burning nuclear. You know, they've got this 438 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: pecking order on what's acceptable and the stupid German government 439 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: went along with it. And now look they're screwed. Now 440 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: they got ten percent inflation. What are they gonna do? 441 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: And you know what, you know what part of their 442 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: historical memory the reason Hitler got into power, massive inflation 443 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: back in the nineteen twenties, coming out of World War One. 444 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: That got the people so angry. That's why they went 445 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: for Hitler. All right, Johnny Ken chump camp, I am 446 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app well, also 447 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: from the sports world. The Tom Brady marriage apparently is ending. 448 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: That's the word this afternoon from Yeah. Supposedly they're hiring 449 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: divorced lawyers. Yeah, all because he wanted to prove Adam 450 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: Schefter wrong. Nobody's happy. Nobody's happy. That's right, everybody. Eric, 451 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: You're saying it had nothing to do with his continuing 452 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 1: to play football. They just grew apart. Yeah, Okay, they 453 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: grew apart because he never stopped playing football, but he was. 454 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: He retired for like two weeks, about a month, and 455 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: then he realized he was sitting at home too long. 456 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is what I've been missing. 457 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: Let me go play football again. You know, I think 458 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: that's it. And then she you know, that finally was 459 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,959 Speaker 1: too much for her. She realized that he really couldn't 460 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: stand being a round it doesn't want to be around. 461 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: She made him take a vacation in the middle of 462 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,719 Speaker 1: a training camp. Yeah, well probably. She loves Costa Rica. 463 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: Apparently they have a home there. They have several homes. 464 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: This will be I mean, they're both quite wealthy. They 465 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: got they got a supermodel. They go, she's richer than him. Yeah, yeah, 466 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: that's what I've heard. They got every accomplishment that a 467 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: man or woman can get in their lives. Didn't make 468 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: him happy. Two kids together, and then he has a 469 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: son from his relationship with Bridget moynahan didn't make him happy. 470 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: All the accomplishment, all the money in the family. Another 471 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: rich guy in the news is Elon Musk. He has 472 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: decided to buy Twitter after all, and this afternoon Twitter 473 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: accepted his proposal forty four billion dollars. The word is 474 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: that Musk realized he was gonna lose in court. The 475 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: judge was not looking very favorably of his backing out 476 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: of the deal that he did several months ago. So 477 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: we probably decided he just needed to go forward. With 478 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: his anyway, Mosque attorney sent Twitter a letter confirming he 479 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: planned to buy the company at the original price he proposed, 480 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: forty four billion dollars. This created a bit of a 481 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: frenzy on Wall Street, so Twitter trading was halted. At 482 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: about noontime today, the shares jumped thirteen percent to almost 483 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: forty eight dollars. Stock ended up closing a fifty two dollars, 484 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: an increase of already twenty two percent just on the day. 485 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: So Mousque is already acting excited. I guess on Twitter 486 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: about the deal and his plans. And remember he had 487 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: a problem I guess with the bots, right, with the 488 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: fake accounts. That was one of his Yeah, whether that 489 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: was a real or he just the stock dropped dramatically 490 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: after he agreed to purchase it, and maybe he was 491 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: looking for an excuse as to why he wanted to 492 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: get out right or I mean, he can. He can, 493 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: he can because he's saying the value was inflated because 494 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: the number of customers were inflated, because so many of 495 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: the customers are fake, and a lot of the customers 496 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: are fake, but nobody knows how much, right, And the 497 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: whole the whole thing is just it's like a fake world. 498 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: It is, it is. But I guess do they make 499 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: money or is this another one of these social media 500 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: things now they're they're on the low end of all 501 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: those social media companies in terms of profit. They haven't 502 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: they haven't monetized their their customer base very well, which 503 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: is why the stock price was was relatively low.
