10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: I called up a page here. You know, it's political news.

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about Trump in a moment, but

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: it's once again got a little tab. What if the

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: US falls apart strategy game stimulates political scenarios?

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: They're really selling this.

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: It's a sponsor like the Civil War game.

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that. We mentioned this yesterday.

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently you can participate like you would on a

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: video game in a Civil war game and how the

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: United States would separate out into sides in the Second

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Civil War. The you know what the Trump news is

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: the leads story right now. Guess who told the FBI

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: about that man in Utah who was making threats to

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: kill Biden and the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin.

24
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Bragg, who it truth Social.

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: Really Donald Trump's social media company. Truth Social notified the

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: FBI after Craig Delieu Robertson made threats to kill Manhattan

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: DA Alvin Bragg Junior. This was a senior law enforcement

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: official who spoke to NBC News confirming this.

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: So this guy thought he could post on Trump's social

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: media social right, Yeah, and that that would be cool.

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: Plus, he probably wanted an audience that would appreciate what

32
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: he was considering doing, so.

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Nobody would turn him in. That's possibly what he thought.

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: They would all appreciate his sentiment and his plans.

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: You know, by now they went to arrest him and

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: they said he was threatening they kill them.

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that thing is dead. That's the proper response. I

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: guess it has to be don't go, don't go through

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: a trial, don't go through you know, grand jury, indictment,

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: hearing his side of the story, none of that. Just

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: there you go, one bullet, you're gone.

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people make threats to kill people.

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: So when they come to question you, I don't think

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: you should pull a gun. But no, they're going to

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: kill you.

46
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, as soon as you do that, you're probably gonna

47
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: get shot dead. But who would do that? Just crazy people?

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: So you know what, that's the way. It's Darwinism, So

49
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: way to thin the herd a little bit, you know what.

50
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: I'm I just hit me again the other day. I

51
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: listen to the news and I just drive around and

52
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: see all the decorator We're being held hostage by this

53
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: tiny percentage of crazy people, A tiny percentage. Right. Most

54
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: of us are kind of boring, and we have boring

55
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: lives and we just do our thing and then we

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: have to react and protect ourselves and get into some

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of disturbance or fight. Just trying to live normally,

58
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, can't go to a shopping mall.

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: You figure, you know, some some group of thugs are

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: gonna come in smashing all the windows so they could

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: grab purses. Right, every time you go in to a

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: shopping mall, I bet you everybody thinks that. Now you

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: see the expensive shops, that go wow, could this be

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: the day that somebody smash it? Oh you think so?

65
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah?

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. My wife certainly think so. And

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: I says, why why why do we have to Why

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: can't we just round all these people up, put them away,

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: do what we need to do to neutralize them. Lock

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: them up, put them away, no rehab, no understanding what

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: their issues are, enough, no excuses. Because because most of

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: us are normal, most of us could live a normal,

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: relatively decent, happy, prosperous life. We're all, most of us

74
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: are capable of that. Why all day long, all we

75
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: got to do is cater to this tiny little percentage miscreants,

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: sell patients, drug addicts.

77
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: The news today on Trump is sooner rather than later.

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Special counsel Jack Smith is asking for a January second

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: trial for Trump on the charges that just came up

80
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: last week, the criminal conspiracy to overturn the twenty twenty

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: election results, and probably the biggest case of all the

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: ones we've heard so far. But Trump doesn't have to

83
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: accept that, right you can. It's up to you if

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: you want a speedy trial.

85
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I guess well.

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: He says, it's can't the public interest to have a

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: trial in the case as soon as practical. He also

88
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: wants to get it done before the heavy primary voting

89
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: next year, So the Trump attorneys are going to dial

90
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: a caucus is January fifteenth.

91
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: That's like the first thing that comes up. I know

92
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: it's right at the start of the voting season, right,

93
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: So Trumps or attorneys, they're going to have their own

94
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: trial date suggestion and their own estimate for the length

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: of the trial.

96
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: Oh and wouldn't January second would be the week of

97
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: the anniversary of January sixth, wouldn't it?

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: Yes, three years later? Right, Yeah, that's not a good idea. See,

99
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: here's what the Trump people want to do. Because he

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: said Smith's office would be seeking a trial within seventy

101
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: days after having three and a half years to investigate.

102
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: So the attorney John Lauro said, why don't we make

103
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: it equal? In other words, if they had three and

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: a half years to investigate, why don't we have three

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: and a half years to defend ourselves. I don't know

106
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: how much control a defense team has over slowing the

107
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: trial down. You can't to some extent and file all

108
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: kinds of motions, especially in civil cases. Right where there's

109
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: complex law, you could really and like if you're a corporation,

110
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: you could really grind things to a halt. But well,

111
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: a judge could always say enough of this nonsense, We're

112
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: going to trial.

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: You can't get rid of this woman, remember Egen Carroll

114
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: for defamation lawsuit against Trump. Is skeptical on trial January fifteenth,

115
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: He does, I don't think he has to be there.

116
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: But no, it's a civil law suit.

117
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: It could be going on at the same time as

118
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: the criminal trial.

119
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: She already won a trial, but yeah, then she died

120
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: because he ripped her apart. After it, she sued him

121
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: for defamation. Right, he sued her, but that just got

122
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: dismissed by a judge. Well, suit her for defamation.

123
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: He lost the trial and just started it all over again,

124
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: ended up with a second trial. Doesn't care well, He's

125
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: got campaign donations paying for this political action money. There

126
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: are people around the country who are donating by the

127
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: millions and millions to his legal defense, so he can

128
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants now.

129
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: The first debate among the Republican presidential candidates is August

130
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: twenty third in Milwaukee. What we learned though, is that

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: the second debate is going to be in California at

132
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: the Ronald Reagan Library and seem Valley in late September.

133
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: That was announced in the last twenty four hours. Trump,

134
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: of course, has already stated he will not sign that

135
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: loyalty pledge, which is required by the Republican National Committee

136
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: to participate in the debate.

137
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: This month in Milwaukee. I won't sign the pledge.

138
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: I can name three or four people that I will

139
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: not support for presidents, So right there, that's a problem.

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: And what the pledge is basically is you will support

141
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: the eventual GOP nominee. He's Trump saying he won't because

142
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: he didn't name the people, but he has been attacking

143
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie recently.

144
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: And probably Mike Pence, right, and uh, oh, yes, I

145
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: don't know.

146
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: He said three or four. Yeah, I don't know if

147
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: Mike Pence would have to be on the list. I

148
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: don't know if Penn says he just made the debate,

149
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: he just qualified.

150
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if he's really pissed at Santis

151
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: or he pretends to be, and then as soon as

152
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: he gets the nomination, Yeah, he'd ask DeSantis to be

153
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: the vice president. That that'd be the toughest ticket, that'd

154
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: be the toughest combination to beat.

155
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: I Trump's not going to ask to sant this.

156
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: You think he is. I don't know.

157
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: I thought he wanted carry Lake. Oh my god, that's

158
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: what I keep hearing the woman that ran for what

159
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: was the governor of our governor yet and tested like yeah,

160
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: just like Trump, she would not admit she lost. Right,

161
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: she still refuses to accept it now. I know she's

162
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: challenged it six ways to Sunday. Yeah, it's not made

163
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: in the inroads. Another one who lost all. She is

164
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: very faithful to him and appears with him a lot.

165
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: I think she's running for some other office. She might

166
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: run for senate, Senate, That's what I saw, right, So,

167
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: but I've heard that she's positioned herself to be his

168
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: VP pick. It's going to be a really tough, weird

169
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: year next year, exciting in some extent, but also maddening

170
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: in another Biden.

171
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: Being carried around in a casket camp.

172
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 2: Trials for Trump and then the probable you say this today,

173
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's August tenth. Is it really going to

174
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: be Trump against Biden next November? Or is this just

175
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: does too early?

176
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like it would be that, would it.

177
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: It just doesn't feel like that to me, that this

178
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: can't continue this way.

179
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: Like I've had enough, This can't continue, right, because I

180
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: personally decided this isn't right. Right, Yeah, it shouldn't be

181
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: happening to the country. Well, just there's other it's gonna

182
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: tear us apart. We're already torn apart. I'm exhausted by

183
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: this crowd. I don't want to talk about these two anymore.

184
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear their voices.

185
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: Because nothing, it's about nothing interesting other than their you know,

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: Trump's bizarre personality and the life support machine that Biden's on.

187
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: That's it's, that's it. It nothn't really that interesting anymore.

188
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: I've seen Trump's act now, for god, since you know,

189
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: all my life.

190
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: All your life, but really exploded in fifteen.

191
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: I know, But I mean, it's got to be something

192
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: else to talk about. There's got to be other people.

193
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: Out there, nobody who's breaking through. A lot of people

194
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: running but either they're not getting the media coverage and

195
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: it's unfair, or they're just duds, a bunch of jealous

196
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: Well a lot of.

197
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: Them are duds. Yes, they are duds. There's a lot

198
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: of bad campaigns. There are a lot of bad candidates.

199
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: Should they be standing up calling people names like Trump,

200
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: you fat idiot?

201
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Now, because it's not block him up. It's not that

202
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Trump puts on the best show, best overall show. That's

203
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: all that matters.

204
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: Now, but it doesn't have the impact it did in

205
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen this year.

206
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: No, well, because it's been running for nine years. So

207
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: everybody's exhausted, or they should be exhausted. Some people aren't.

246
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,600

248

Speaker 5: am in communication with the Biden Administration, the State Department,

251
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: and my congressional colleagues, and am advocating for using all

252
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 5: tools at our disposal, including pushing for US humanitaris in

253
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 5: a to art Sack, cutting off military and other assistance

254
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 5: to Azerbaijean, and imposing sanctions on those responsible for this crisis.

255
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: Art Sack.

256
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not true. Well, yes they say they are.

257
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: They're a breakaway.

258
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: I never heard of this place. I gotta look this up.

259
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: I never heard of I just looked it up right,

260
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: art Sack.

261
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: The region is in dispute between Azerbaijean and the breakaway

262
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: Republic of art Sack. Most of the people who live

263
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: in art Sack are indigenous Armenian right Armenian, but are

264
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: supported by neighboring armeniaf So, now you see why. So

265
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: a contest in Glendale.

266
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: Had this territory and it broke away, and it broke away.

267
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: It's considered itself its own place, and it wants to

268
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: be part of with Armenia.

269
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: Serious, what is Adam Shift supposed to do about that?

270
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: And the blockade?

271
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: How's he going to do that?

272
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 2: Apparently that's what this is about. There's been some sort

273
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: of a blockade. It's been going on for a while,

274
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: and I guess it's to cut the people off.

275
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: So they give us what's he going to do?

276
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 2: They well, us is the power of the American I

277
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: mean when they show in Ukraine right, people are trying

278
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: to get home from work.

279
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: He shut they shut down the one thirty four because

280
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: they want they want Adam Schiff to undo a blockade

281
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: in art.

282
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: Sack, Right, the Biden administration. Shift should pressure the Biden

283
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: administration to take action. I guess bomb the blockade.

284
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Who wouldn't even answer the phone if Adam Schiff was

285
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: calling you, would you even pick up? Like if your

286
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: phone is ringing right now it said Adam Shift on it,

287
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: would you would you pick up the phone? What would be? What?

288
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: What's he going to do? Oh? You know what?

289
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: Well, what comes around goes around. The Azerbaijani government sent

290
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: citizens who they claim to be eco activists to block

291
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: a big corridor which connects art Sack to Armenia and

292
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: the outside world.

293
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Art Sack.

294
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 3: I think he used to do the sports.

295
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: On Channel seven. Didn't you go? Here's Art Sack with

296
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: the sports. Art Shack and his brother Baul. Stop it.

297
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna blockade you. I'm on.

298
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 2: Since March twenty six, twenty three, the Azerbaijani government has

299
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: consolidated its blockade, seizing territory across the corridor, both with

300
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: art Sac and Armenia, blocking even alternative bypass routes, and

301
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: they installed a military checkpoint.

302
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Why is the story you never heard before? Listen now?

303
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: You know? I looked at Wikipedia. They were trying to

304
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: describe where this place is and what its history is.

305
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: See if this makes any sense. It is a doubly

306
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: landlocked breakaway state whose territory is recognized as part of Azerbaijan.

307
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Art Sack controls a part of the former Nagamo Karabakh

308
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: autonomoust Oblast WOW, including the capital of stepan Akhart. It's

309
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: an enclave with it Azerbaijan, and it's a prominently Armenian

310
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: population and somehow the Soviet Union got involved here. Yeah

311
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: that's yeah. Did you find it on the map? So well, yeah,

312
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, it's south of Russia amongst all

313
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: those breakaway countries, the Caucuses, Scans and the Stands and

314
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: the Gens.

315
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: And says here that the art Sack authorities had to

316
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: uh go with daily six hour blackouts to ration the

317
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: remaining supply of local electricity production.

318
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Hmm.

319
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: Azerbaijan's is claiming, we're doing this to prevent the illegal

320
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: transportation of weapons and natural resources.

321
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: That's why they put the blockade. There's dozens of these

322
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: local civil wars, border disputes right break away.

323
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: But I imagine for the people in the Glendale area they

324
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: have Armenian relatives in my.

325
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Perfect I understand. But but but blocking traffic on the

326
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: one thirty four is not going to do anything.

327
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It seems you should they protest

328
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: the genocide. Remember the Turks not recognizing that the Armenian genocide. Well, yeah,

329
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: I know, but a different one.

330
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: Don't don't block the freeway. You're not gonna win any

331
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: any sympathetic converts to your cause here. Trust later it

332
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: was later in the day. I mean honestly, you rolled

333
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: down a window and you ask one of the protesters

334
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: why you're blocking the one thirty four. I gotta get home.

335
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: I got to pick up my kid. Oh, because we're

336
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: trying to get Adam Shift to free of the art sacks. Buddy,

337
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: get out of the way. All right, you're gonna get it.

338
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna get flattened. Get out of the way.

339
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: Educate yourself, get involved, John, help people besides yourself.

340
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: But what by blocking traffic? It doesn't help the art sacks.

341
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 2: They want you to call up oh spineless Shift and

342
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: tell him to get his acting gear.

343

354
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: We return to the Venice boardwalk, where it's been reported

355
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: that over the last couple of years they were able

356
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: to remove over two hundred people from camping. I use

357
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: camping from loitering on the boardwalk there. Yes supposedly on

358
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 2: any given day there's probably forty there, and there were

359
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: still cleanups going on Venis and the boardwalk is back

360
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 2: in the news because people in the community and I'm

361
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: talking about people that actually have homes in the community residences.

362
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: All the people who work, you mean, those guys.

363
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: They're split on whether or not nearly five million dollars

364
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: should be spent on cleaning up the bathrooms. Some are

365
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: saying that it won't matter. You can spend the money,

366
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: they'll just be dirtied again with drugs, prostitution, graffiti. Mark Ryevic,

367
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: who's actually been on our show with the event as

368
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 2: stakeholders Association, said right now, they're frightful, But he said

369
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: throwing money at the problem won't address the drug use

370
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: and mental illness. They'll be beautiful for a month or

371
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: two and then they're going to start their descent back

372
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 2: into hell. He said, people are sleeping in them, doing

373
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 2: prostitution in them because there's no enforcement as there should be.

374
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: And we talked about this the other day, this.

375
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: Broken windows philosophy of prosecuting crimes. California went in the

376
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: opposite direction. Oh, if it's low level, nonviolent, just leave

377
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: it alone. And it makes it that results in this

378
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: kind of chaos, makes everything disgusting. And I'm with the

379
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: crowd that's no more money, no more cleaning it up.

380
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Yah. Yeah, just close them down, close them down, and

381
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 1: if you see anybody deprecating, urinating, you arrest them because

382
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: that's breaking the law. You keep doing that, they're gonna

383
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: go somewhere else. I think they should stop catering to

384
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: all these vagrants, mental patients, uh, and drug addicts. Stop

385
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: catering to them, all right, because all they just made

386
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: everything more and more gross, more and disgusting. They're not

387
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: changing their behavior at all. All the ideas have failed.

388
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: They mean, one one of these progressive ideas that worked.

389
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: Name one. We've tried this out now for like seven years.

390
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: What's the one that worked. None of them. They all

391
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: made everything more, more filthy and more dangerous.

392
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: Vagrant tents have encircled the restrooms like a makeshift village.

393
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

394
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 2: The walls are blackened by fire, ash and graffiti. Yeah,

395
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: and use needles left by the transients are littered on

396
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: the ground.

397
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: So so the people who run this city, and this

398
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: is best SETI and all the city council people outside

399
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: of Tracy Parks District, right, I know, but I mean

400
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: she can't. She can't clean up everything by yourself. She's

401
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: got to get the city council and Bissetti on board,

402
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: right and all the right. But they have made it

403
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: clear that this stuff doesn't bother them. They don't see

404
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: any of this as an issue. The only reason they

405
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: take any action is because so many people scream at

406
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: them all day. And it's like they to them, we're

407
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of children, and occasionally they give us

408
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: a shut up toy. You ever hear of the phrase

409
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: a shut up toy? It's it's in stores like grocery stores.

410
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: They will position racks of little disposable toys that you know,

411
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: mother could buy for two or three dollars, right, and

412
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: you just grab it off the shelf. And that's when

413
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: your kid is screaming in the grocery cart. Yeah, and

414
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: you gotta buy like three hundred dollars worth of groceries, right,

415
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: and the kid's going eh, eh. So you just grab

416
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: a little shut up toy and give it to the kid,

417
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: or maybe sticks it in his mouth, and now you

418
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: can do and that's the way they treat us. We're

419
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of little kids screaming from the shopping cart.

420
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: And every once in a while I was like, Okay,

421
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: we'll close this in camp. Man, here's your shutout of toy.

422
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: But then the camp repopulates a few weeks later. Okay,

423
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: we'll clean up the bathrooms. We're gonna spend four point

424
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: two million, Oh yeah, yeah, right, and then in a

425
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: month the place is a toxic dump. So there's got

426
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: to be a permanent refusal to allow these people to

427
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: do anything anything, arrest them for the slightest deviation from

428
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: normal human behavior.

429
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: One resident said, we used to call them shooting galleries

430
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: because the vagrants would go in there and shoot up drugs.

431
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: But now people are living in there, like living on

432
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: the floor of a bathroom that's rolling at your carp in.

433
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: Your Yeah, they do. When when when my wife and

434
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: I bike or walk up the h the walking paths

435
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: or the boardwalks, the bike paths along the beach, one

436
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: of us to go to the restroom, neither one of us.

437
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm afraid to open the door. I don't know what's

438
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: on the other side of that door. Once Steve Gregory

439
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: opened up a public toilet and there were two guys

440
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: having sex on the other side of the door. That

441
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: was like the last time I opened up the well.

442
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: That was during the occupied Yeah, you know what, the

443
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: occupy thing. I can't get that out of my head.

444
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: We had no people living in public outside of skid

445
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: row until Occupy hit, right, that was twenty eleven. Was

446
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: that some kind of organized test run for all this

447
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: to get people used to the idea that what was

448
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: the Wall Street rebellion? Right?

449
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 3: The people that were well, that was the mortgage meltdown.

450
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: That was the cover story. But I wonder if it

451
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: was activist groups because I know they they do they

452
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: do research on how to get the public use to

453
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: an idea, right, and did they want us to live

454
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: with the occupu tense? And remember it was all about

455
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: urine and feces and filth. Right went on for months

456
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: and months, but in a way it normalized the ideas

457
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: the first time we all had to deal with a

458
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: long running public particularly a massive encampment, ught massive encampment,

459
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, within a few years

460
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: this became commonplace. They're letting out prisoners, they're not prosecuting

461
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: for drugs anymore. They're not forcing people into drug treatment.

462
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: People are coming from all fifty states. Meth and fentonyl

463
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: take hold. And yet you go back preoccupo nothing, We

464
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: didn't have any of these problems. There's just something stuck

465
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: in my mind that that wasn't a coincidence. And I

466
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: can't prove it. I can't explain it, but it's always

467
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: like not, It's just something in my instincts says, you

468
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: know what, There was a reason for that.

469
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,719
Speaker 2: There was something followed a couple of years later by

470
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: Prop forty seven, which decribalized things, right that they kind

471
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: of just fell together there.

472
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: And did the people who pushed Prop forty seven? Remember

473
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: they lied to everybody about it. Did they know this

474
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: was going to be the result? How could they not?

475
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: They knew they were never going to supply any money

476
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: for drug treatment. They knew that nobody would go for

477
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: drug treatment without a judge's order anymore. Nobody was going

478
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: to jail anymore, right because Prop forty seven removed jail,

479
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: removed force drug treatment, remove removed everything. So they knew this.

480
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: So where did they think all the people would end up?

481
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: They knew they'd end up in the street and were

482
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: they just softening the public to get used to normalize

483
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: the public. Yeah, you got to get used to people

484
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: living in parks. Now, this is the way it's going

485
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: to be. Here's the test run OCCUPU and we'll we'll

486
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 1: we'll have a cup story. Oh, protesting Wall streets like

487
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: what you're protesting Wall Street. It's like people blocking the

488
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: one thirty four for the sake of the Armenians. That

489
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: you're not going to change Wall Street by by taking

490
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: a crap in front of city Hall.

491
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: The idea behind spending five million dollars on the Venice

492
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: bathrooms is the work of the Mensa Canada. Ted Lou,

493
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: the congressman, oh, by God mentioned him in a while.

494
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: He is an empty suit. You know what I found

495
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: out just this week because people are starting to repopulate

496
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: the VA homeless camp. I mentioned that you're Tracy Park

497
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: last week, and it's just like last time. It's a

498
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: collision of oh, this is county land, this is a

499
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: city land, this is federal land. Because it's the VA

500
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: and we have it. We have Ted Lou is not

501
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 1: my congressman anymore, always not.

502
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: I've got Oh that's right.

503
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: They think that the district. That load he used to

504
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: be centered in Sherman Oaks because I I've had We've

505
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of neighbors call us and they're putting

506
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: together a group to start fighting this this encampment again.

507
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: And so the woman called me up and I said, well,

508
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: who's Ted Losey niece. She said, no, it's Brad Sherman.

509
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we're doomed. Oh my god, we're going

510
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: to be fighting that load. Because she thought the reason

511
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: these people were back, these were rejects from the VA

512
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: tiny home camp. These were the people that misbehaved on

513
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: the VA land. They were given tiny homes and now

514
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: the VA kicked them off for bad behavior and now

515
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: they're back sitting outside.

516
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: All right, we got more coming up.

517
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: Johnny Ken k IF I AM six forty Live everywhere

518
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: I Heeartradio app like I have.

519
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: Time for this.

520
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

521
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 4: AM six forty.

522
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: Kind of a fascinating story from the Miami area. Apparently,

523
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: an out fit that specializes in helping people find missing

524
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: loved ones got a tip about a lake near the

525
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: Miami International Airport, so they did a little underwater checking

526
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: and so far, there appears to be thirty two cars

527
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: in that lake. Would that sound suspicious, Yes, it just might.

528
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: So they've got wrecords there working to pull the cars

529
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: from the water, and the early results are so far.

530
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: No human remains.

531
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: It looks like they were some of them were stolen

532
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: joy riding and just the people just ditched them into

533
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 2: the water. That seems to be what happened. They've been

534
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: finding cars from the nineteen eighties, cars that were stolen

535
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: in the late nineties.

536
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: So the guys who stole cars for joy rides, they

537
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: knew where to take the evidence.

538
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: They apparently all learned that this is the place to

539
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: put them where they probably won't find them because they

540
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 2: might be able to trace it back to you.

541
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought them in the lake. I

542
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: thought for sure they'd find a few bodies in there,

543
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: some rotting skeletons.

544
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the latest story I have because there was one

545
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: reporter that said, well, there was a lot of crime

546
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: during the Cocaine Wars in Miami years back. They thought

547
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: they might find some bodies in there, you know, like

548
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: they did when the sure when Lake Mead dried up.

549
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: In some of those Nevada Miami's always been a hotbed

550
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: for organized crime. The Mighty didn't check any of the trunks.

551
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: They did, they did, yes, they did. Their searched the cars.

552
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: They found no human remains, cheating husbands, some some wives

553
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: getting off. I mean, well, at of thirty two, there

554
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: had to be one, you think, So wow, what a disappointment.

555
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: I was hoping there's all kinds of juicy stories coming

556
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: out of that.

557
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: They pulled forty cars from a river near Nashville in

558
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one.

559
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: That must have been.

560
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: That doesn't say whether or not that was sort of

561
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: the same thing. It's just like car theft rings who

562
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: just decide this is too hot. We got to get

563
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: rid of this.

564
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, I guess it became a thing for

565
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: people in those circles, the people who steal cars just

566
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 1: for the fun of it.

567
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: You know, they pull the cars out and then they

568
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: run the vehicle identification numbers, and then they figure out

569
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: which department should take the case. And so far it's

570
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: mostly the stolen vehicle down. That huge disappointment, because there

571
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: are more than forty cold cases on the radar in Miami.

572
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: Dayton Broward Kenys, You thought this might be a good

573
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: lead perhaps to find you know, some dead missing family members.

574
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Right right, yeah, well now big light.

575
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I guess so, because I guess for people

576
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: who have long lost missing relatives, they want to know

577
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: some sure.

578
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: Or I just thought maybe there's some juicy crime stories,

579
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: right yeah, moth members like cocaine guys killing each.

580
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: Other, Cuban mafia stuff like that.

581
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Conways here now, I.

582
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 6: Heard you guys talk about the trash cans. And again

583
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 6: if my dad always said, if the city do the

584
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 6: small things, it's not gonna be able to tackle the

585
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 6: big things.

586
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: No, no, they can't deliver me a new trash can.

587
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: They are not going to clean up this homeless. So

588
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: that's right.

589
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 6: But but that's what got me, uh by my first

590
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 6: uh running with the City of La was the trash cans.

591
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: Then there was the sidewalk, and it was the whole run.

592
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I know, it's just one. You can't

593
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: ask him to do anything. I can't. I couldn't take it.

594
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: You call these these these helplines. Oh my god, geez. Okay,

595
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: here's the here's the story about Burbank. All right, there

596
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: was a guy across the alley from us and he's

597
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: putting up scaffolding around his office building. Yeah, I'll say,

598
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: what are you doing is I'm taking the office building down.

599
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: We're putting up a three story office building with subterranean parking.

600
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: I said okay. I said, do you have permits for this?

601
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: And he said no.

602
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 6: We start the work and then we get permits later.

603
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 6: I go, okay, have you ever done work with the

604

605
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 6: I go all right. So I go to the city

00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 6: and I go, hey, look, I don't want.

607
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: To cause this's got a lot of problems.
