Speaker 1: of our three hours, I'll call it the Trifecta of

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: El Segundo time stories. We have quite a collection. Then

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: they're all dealing with the race card, all three but

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: from very distinct angles, birds, your ring camera and the

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: black sit. What I remember the break sit when British

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: left the Europe. Yes, this according to the Elsigondo Times reporter.

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Is the black sit Black Americans leaving because we're too

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: racist leaving the country. Is that right? They found a woman, Yeah,

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: they found a woman who's in Costa Rica. I'll read

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: you one key sentence in the story coming up. We'll

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: probably do that one first this hour. We're gonna do

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: one each hour, these three stories, because they're just they're gems.

28
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: They really are gems. I was just reading the one

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: about the birds. I scroll down. Who wrote this one? Oh,

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: the drought reporter? Good lord, right, yeah, The Times has

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: a drought reporter that was in their that's in their

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: climate change section. Yeah. Yeah, you found that one first,

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: that one got that actually emailed that one to me.

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: That is the first thing I read this morning. I

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: got up at six in the morning, went to the

36
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: La Times because it makes me happy. I get a

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: good laugh. And man, they out did themselves. I saw

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: the bird, the racist bird story, and then the racist

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: ring camera story. I said, oh my god, this I

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: saw that one this morning. I'm like, are you kidding me?

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: Because I have a ring camera, I'm racist? Oh damn it.

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't pass the Times test. I look at birds,

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: I get a diverse bird. We talked about your bird faster.

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: That's right. So you know what we might do as

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: a daily feature if it's funny enough. Uh, just randomly

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: take a look at the Times website during the show

47
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: and just read some of the ridiculous story. See how

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: many times it's what's their their four main categories? Is

49
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: is race, climate? And uh there's something else some other

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: left time? Would you say LGBTQ or or is that

51
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: under gender? I don't know, Yeah, well I'll think of

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: it later.

53
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: Did I get the clown music ready?

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: The guess a different world? An update now on what's

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: going on in another part of the world, and of

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: course that's Israel against Hamas. One thing that kind of

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: happened today which definitely bears watching is Hesbelah Hesbola's in

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: Lebanon and apparently there was some well some firing back

59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: and forth between the Israeli army and Hesbela militants in Lebanon,

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: which if this breaks out into something, this would be

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: of course to the north of Israel. Hesbola is an

62
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: a run backed Shiite group committed to again the destruction

63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: of the Jewish state. Now they have an alliance with Amasque,

64
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: but they didn't always because apparently they were on opposite

65
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: sides when there was a Syrian civil war. I mean

66
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: this goes back on to Sunni versus She is right,

67
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: that whole thing religious two distinct flavors of Islam, and

68
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Hamas is a Sunni Muslim group. They have a thousand

69
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: year feud going on and it's over their relationship with Muhammad,

70
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: right right. I think we talked about this years ago

71
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: in reference to stuff going on in a rock and

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: a rock versus Iron, right, and there was an alms

73
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: those countries. There was an element with al Qaeda as well.

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Right now. There is also an Israeli lawmaker who well

75
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: shades of Putin, who wants to deploy a doomsday weapon

76
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: against Hamas. The name is a revital I guess nicknamed

77
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Tally Gottlive, an Israeli lawyer and member of the Kanesset,

78
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: posted multiple times on x with of course people's book

79
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: called Twitter about the possibility of nuclear warfare, making the

80
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: argument that to go in there with ground troops to

81
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: try to root out Hamas would maybe not work, It

82
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: would be very very long and time consuming and possibly

83
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: cause a lot of deaths. This is a woman, by

84
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: the way, and she mentioned Jericho, which is a reference

85
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: to Israel's initial ballistic missile program developing the nineteen sixties

86
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: and of course named for the Biblical city. They actually

87
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: started this program jointly with France, but France with drew

88
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine and Israel's maintained the system, and

89
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: they had the first jerichas they called Jericho on the

90
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: model was ready in nineteen seventy three during the Yam

91
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: Kippur War. Now this is one person, one politician. I

92
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: don't necessarily believe that this is going to gain a

93
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: lot of ground with the rest of the Israeli government

94
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: of the military. But her words were, but why should

95
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Israel need to develop an intermediate range ballistic missile? Oh,

96
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: this is an analyst, given that it's declared adversaries Iron

97
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: and several Arab states are all within much shorter range.

98
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: The answer may be that Israel is a security and

99
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 1: fuse state always considers worst case scenarios and plans for contingencies.

100
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: So this is just some of the chatter that's going

101
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: on out there.

102
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Oh.

103
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: I sometimes when you see someone go out on a

104
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: limb like that, it looks like, oh, she's just one

105
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: person shooting off her mouth, or maybe she was asked to.

106
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: It's like, would you do this? Would you plant the

107
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: seed and the minds of everyone else? Put it out

108
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: there and see what the response is and then if

109
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: people say, what the hell is this? Hey, that was

110
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: just opinion of one person. But I doubt it's the

111
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: opinion of one person, because I do think Israel's mindset

112
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: is that there are multiple enemies who want to annihilate them,

113
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: and so they have gained out a lot of this

114
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: for many, many years, and all that changes is the

115
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: severity of the weapons that they have developed. And the

116
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: thing is that it makes what happened all that and

117
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: we're shocking when you think of how much money they

118
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: have spent and how the system they have to defend

119
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: themselves and all the people that they're able to call up.

120
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: It's just mind boggling how Mas was able to pull

121
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: this off. And there's a there's a great story to

122
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: be told there on what happened. One day there will

123
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: be right, I honestly believe. I mean, some people think

124
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: this is going to topple Netta Yahu from power there

125
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: because they just were not They didn't see this coming.

126
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Somebody screwed up big time. Probably probably most of it's

127
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: like what a plane crashes, though it's multiple factors all

128
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: at the same time. So there, there's it's it's probably

129
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: a number of people stopped doing their job properly. Yeah,

130
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: there was no country on the planet more on the

131
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: defensive than Israel, which has been for decades. And you're right,

132
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: they always have to be ready for anything, especially with

133
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: all these groups. I was watching ABC News last night

134
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: and they did about They did almost the entire newscast

135
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: John Muir, John Muir, David Muir, David Yes, so, and

136
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: it was grewsome stuff. I mean they showed a kid's

137
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: bedroom where the blood was still all over the sheets.

138
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: It was just terrible things, and all the you know,

139
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: the neighborhood where the kids had been beheaded. And they

140
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: also showed that not too far away the music show

141
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: where two hundred and sixty people were more a festival. Right,

142
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: it's all in the same area. And one of those

143
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: two sites I forget which either the neighborhood or the

144
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: music festival. Right next to it was the fence that

145
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: divided Israel from Gaza. I mean, they were right there

146
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: on the literal border and I'm thinking, wow, and I

147
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: read today I read a story about how everything is

148
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Israel is constantly monitoring Gaza. They have all kinds of

149
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: surveillance tactics that can't imagine. They have extensive intelligence operations.

150
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: So it's like I've read that somebody didn't get the

151
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: word that this was coming. It was a see through fence.

152
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: It was a chain link fence. Oh, they blasted through

153
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: it pretty easily for Yeah. Yeah, it wasn't much of

154
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: a fan. It was easy to go through. But it

155
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: just seemed like, hey, somebody should have said, hey, what's

156
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: going on over there? Because they were. They were practicing

157
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: this for months. I like you said, we've learned it

158
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: may have been a year in the planet.

159
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I think one aspect maybe that caught them by

160
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 2: surprise was it was a holiday.

161
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so with the Moss would recognize a holiday and

162
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: not attack.

163
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: No, they don't care about that.

164
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: Oh then why do you think.

165
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm saying the Jews were the Israelis were caught by

166
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: surprise because they were because they were at home celebrating

167
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: the holiday.

168
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that to me would put me more

169
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: on guard, thinking, now that's when they'd like to get

170
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: us well, when we were quote celebrating, right, we're not

171
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: paying attention.

172
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: That's why I have to walk through metal detectors when

173
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: I go through go to temple.

174
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: It's like America's watching the super Bowl, right, that's a

175
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: good time to everybody's caught up in something. Did you

176
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: did you go to temple over the weekend?

177
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: Not over the weekend but for Russia, Shan and yumkie

178
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: pre services yet.

179
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: And just wondering what the security issues are like now

180
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: in the SYNAGOGUEUS, i'd get my back checked.

181
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: I have to go through a metal detector. And it's

182
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: been that way all my life.

183
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I remember that because we had we had

184
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: a number of bar mitzvahs and bar Mitzvah services at

185
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: synagogues that we went to. Kids were smaller, and I

186
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: remember read it going through the metal detectors.

187
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: The prayer shawl that I wear when I'm in services,

188
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: I keep it in a bag and my bag has

189
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: to be checked by security every time.

190
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, you'll have a chance

191
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: at some money, that's right. The cash contest continues. Johnny

192
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: ken KFI AM six forty were live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

193
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

194
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

195
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm nevause sure what hour I'm in. And you know,

196
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: in just a couple of weeks we're turning back the clock.

197
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: So you're gonna be okay. No, no, I'm never okay.

198
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: The beginning to open, I barely get daylight savings time. Yeah,

199
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna get dark early, it is, but

200
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be lighter a little earlier, like seven

201
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: or eight thirty or seven thirty or whatever. Yeah. Well,

202
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: you know I'm big on the light, a later light

203
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: rather than early light. But all right, Well, as we

204
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: promised you, each hour after one point thirty, we'll do

205
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: the first of the three stories. They also Gonda Times

206
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: has an incredible trifecta of race stories involving rather odd topics, birds,

207
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: ring cameras, and people leaving the country. We'll start with

208
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: the birds. Birds, since yeah, and John's got a special

209
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: interest in birds. So now we'll find out if John

210
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: lives in a racist neighborhood. You know, based on their criteria,

211
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: it must be because there's a great diversity of birds

212
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: in my backyard. Oh and I looked at that story,

213
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: and I said, I don't. I don't because all I

214
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: see are damn ravens or crows, whatever the hell they are.

215
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: That's about all I have. And they peck on my roof.

216
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. They're up there causing a I think, is

217
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: there construction going on next door? Like, Oh no, it's

218
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: those ravens. They walk around up there and they pound

219
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: on the Oh they make a lot of noise, yeah,

220
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: because they're big, heavy birds. They're fat birds. Oh, they're

221
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: fat birds. So scare them. Thrown something up there. We

222
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: have yellow warblers in our backyard. I don't think I

223
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: even know what a warbler is. Day we'll bird watch together.

224
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: The Deborah usually jumps and said, yeah, let's do that. Yeah,

225
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: the three of us can get together in bird But

226
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: she'll scare all the bird's way. Really, birds are vegan,

227
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: aren't they too much?

228
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 2: Burns?

229
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: I mean burns? Birds are vegan? Yeah? I think they

230
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: they do. I always think a bird seed and stuff,

231
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: but oh yeah, yeah, but they do. They do peck

232
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: at the ground and they eat insects.

233
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: Right, I bet an eagle to get it, a little

234
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: dog or something like that.

235
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: Oh that kind of bird. Why do you why do

236
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: you need to go there. I don't I don't have,

237
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: but we don't need we don't need that visual. We

238
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: love it all right, the the death do all well.

239
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: It's going to be a while to really sort this out.

240
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: But the Israeli military says in more than twelve hundred people,

241
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: including one hundred and eighty nine soldiers, have been killed

242
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: since this whole thing started over the weekend. In Gaza,

243
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: eleven hundred people have been killed, thousands have been wounded

244
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: on both sides. Gaza is not a place to be

245
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: right now for a lot of reasons. Everything is cut off.

246
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: They've lost power, people have to have private generators now,

247
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: and of course there's a hospital there too, trying to

248
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: deal with this because as you know, there's still a

249
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: lot of incoming missiles. Hamas is still firing missiles into Israel,

250
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of missiles coming from Israel

251
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: into the Gaza strip, and nobody's quite sure of the

252
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: situation of the toll there. Egypt and international groups are

253
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: looking for what they call the humanitarian corridor to try

254
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: to get some aid into Gaza because right now it

255
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: is completely cut off and we're waiting to see if

256
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: the Israeli military does do a ground invasion to try

257
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,359
Speaker 1: to root out Hamas. I realize these are religious fanatics

258
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: consumed by hatred. But do you think any of these

259
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: Humas guys, after a few days of the Israeli bombardment

260
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: one of them is going to say, maybe we shouldn't

261
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: have done this. I would think more than one like

262
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: that wasn't a good idea? Whose idea was this? Yeah?

263
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: And again you're right, you think about that because obviously

264
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: the invasion had quite an impact to the Israeli people

265
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: are horrified. They may not feel safe. That was kind

266
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: of the goal here. But yeah, if the blowback is

267
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: going to be tremendous, if there was one government and

268
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: one group of people, I would not want to rile

269
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: up by threatening them with casual extinction. It would be

270
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: the Israelis. Honestly, they Derek, you'll agree with this. I

271
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: mean they are going to fight to the death, absolutely

272
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: with all the energy and force they can collectively muster. Yes, yeah, America,

273
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: it's not going to do that. Like half of America.

274
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: It's like, fine, you're the new Dick to Okay, he

275
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: was still good at that pole work of people just

276
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: said I surrendered. Yeah. It was like it was like

277
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: half the Democrats and because we've had a cushy life

278
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: here not involved in that part of the world is

279
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: always war torn and what's what's the name of a

280
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: new leader? Eight off? Okay, fine, come on right in

281
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: not Yeah, you almost look at this broadly. You think,

282
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: what if Hamas expect Israel, we turn around and say,

283
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: all right, we understand, we're going to give you a

284
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: territories back. Yeah, sure, no problem, I mean, simply, but

285
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. The thing is, when when you're

286
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: trying to destroy an anime, you have to go for

287
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: the kill. You can't just you know, nick them, do

288
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: some modest damage, half leave them, half day. You've got

289
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: to crush them entirely, because if you don't, then you're done.

290
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: And so what they did was a terrible tragedy and

291
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: they killed a lot of people, but it still was

292
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: only a tiny frame action of the population of Israel.

293
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: Oh well, they don't have the means to make a big,

294
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: big assaultage which described it. Which is why you don't

295
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, I mean you did. You didn't harm

296
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: their their their military force, their weaponry, you know, their ammunition,

297
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: their their capability of plotting and strategizing, and they have

298
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon too. I just I really that is

299
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: just a dumb idea on a practical level. All right,

300
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: we'll have war on the story later on in the

301
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: show with a couple of guests. When we return, though,

302
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about birds your neighborhood racism. It's

303

Speaker 1: an El Sagundo time special Birds Johnny Ken KFI. Have

Speaker 1: o'clock it's Johnny Cannon demanded podcast. It's the same show,

310
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: but you could listen to what you missed and listen

311
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: to it more quickly. How many people have grabbed it

312
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: and go? Why is this the same show? I was

313
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: expecting more material? Yeah, right, okay, we're gonna do a

314
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: second show. Yeah, give you six hours. Did they want

315
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: us to do that years ago, like put an extra

316
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: hour just on the podcast or something? I remember something

317
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: being disgusted if the only media outlet you looked at

318
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: was the El Segundo Times, and we call it that

319
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: it's the La Times, but their offices are now in

320
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: El Segundo. If that's all you looked at, you would

321
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: believe that the United States, California is the most racist

322
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: place on the planet. You just have to conclude that

323
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: is story after story. But today, then yesterday, we found

324
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: a trifecta of what we call race stories in the

325
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Al Siegundo Times, and they're really, in their own ways,

326
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: all humorous. We're gonna start with the bird story. We

327
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: kid you not. The headline of the story how LA's

328
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: bird population is shaped by historic redlining and racist loan practices.

329
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: Can you imagine waking up in the morning and reading

330
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: this LA's bird population, because at first I thought, oh,

331
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, I love reading about bird populations. So they're

332
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: migrations historic redlining. And if you don't know what redlining is,

333
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: it's what insurance companies and real estate companies do, and

334
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: banks and banks the mortgages. If they draw a red

335
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: line around a neighborhood, nobody's getting a mortgage. It's a

336
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: high risk, nobody's getting a loan. And that's considered racist,

337
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: even though that's just a business practice. Considered good investment

338
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: if you were a bank. Right, Well, you know they

339
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: normally what they do is they determine, uh, you know,

340
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: what your ability to pay the loan is. Now, I'm sure,

341
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: and it's unfair in regards. Perhaps there's definite residents in

342
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: that redlined area that can do very well with the mortgage.

343
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: It's just exing out the whole neighborhood is probably a

344
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: little severe. That was the problem with it. Well, yeah,

345
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure they went people should be evaluated on an

346
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: individual basis to whether or not they're a good risk,

347
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: no matter what their race is or income or whatever.

348
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: And then you have to go through the whole detail

349
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: of it. This is stuff that went on in the

350
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: nineteen thirties and nineteen forties and nineteen fifties, all right

351
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: there there there There was a lot of terrible things

352
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: that were done back then. Yes, but you know, most

353
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: of them have been fixed. However, apparently there was a

354
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: time where it was too fixed. When we had the

355
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: mortgage meltdown and everybody got a mortgage. You know, oh,

356
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: income stated, fine, you make that much, we believe you.

357
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: Right there we go. We always love to cycle this country.

358
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: So they start the story and it's by h Durraini Paneda.

359
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: Draini Paneda. She's a staff writer who basically covers the drought,

360
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: not kidding you, that's what job at this and there's

361
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: no drought right now, no, so she's got to do

362
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: something else. And of course what's big with the with

363
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: the elsign to have times and the assignment editors is

364
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: anything to do with race? Can you find anything? You're

365
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: on the drought? But what all right? Nature, birds, birdwires.

366
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: Bird watching can be racist. Well, it starts off with

367
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: a couple of broadwatchers and in Boil Heights, right and

368
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: they found they're out there with their binoculars a house sparrow.

369
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: It says here the house sparrow is an urban creature

370
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: that thrives where people do. They're resilient, adaptable, and aggressive.

371
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: If you get the idea here, it means that in

372
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: the poorer neighborhoods or the ones that were historically redlined,

373
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: this is probably one of the few birds you go

374
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: to see there. You're going to less than ten miles

375
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: to the northeast. They go to San Marino, which is wealthier,

376
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: and instead of just sparrows and ravens and common pigeons. Oh, No,

377
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: among the manicured lawns and mature trees, very different assortments

378
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: of birds. They found a band tailed pigeon. They also

379
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: recognized acorn woodpeckers, a California tohee, dozens of turkey vultures,

380
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: a dark eyed juneco, a mocking bird, and Anna's hummingbird,

381
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: and a black phoebe. Now, John, have you spotted all

382
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: those in your neighborhood? Not the black phoebe? No, oh,

383
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: dark eyed juco juneco? John Coe, I told you I

384
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: saw the yellow warbler, and I've seen cardinals. Did you

385
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: look up the warbler with the alsion times? As a

386
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: considered a good neighborhood, we have a diversity of birds, definitely, Okay,

387
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: we don't. It's not just how sparrows, how sparrows are

388
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: got ugly little birds, but the yellow warblers. There was

389
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: all family of them living in our backyard. Bright yellow fact.

390
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: I saw it. I'd never seen one before, and I

391
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: went I went online to try to identify it. Oh,

392
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: I occasionally do hear in my neighborhood the good old woodpeckers.

393
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's an acorn woodpecker. I'm looking

394
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: at a picture of one here. I don't know as

395
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: you go up to look at the woodpeckers, but I

396
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: can hear them, and it is true you do, or

397
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: their sound as they hit the trees. But anyway, it's

398
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: called the luxury effect. Wealthier and typical, wider neighborhoods attract

399
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: a larger and more diverse population of birds. And that's

400
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: the bottom line with this. So white bird watchers in

401
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: white neighborhoods have a certain bird watching privilege. Yes, you

402
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: could argue that, yes, And my favorite the tree canopy,

403
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: of course, attracts divers city of birds because they like

404
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: the shade, they like the trees right to venture into.

405
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: You're probably at home saying, where the hell does this

406
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: stuff come from? Well, according to the El Segundo Times,

407
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: in a new study, the researchers argue that the difference

408
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: in bird populations is a lasting consequent of racist home

409
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: lending practices from decades ago, as well as modern wealth disparities.

410
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: And they even have a chart showing you where what

411
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: the desirable neighborhoods are. That's from the nineteen thirties. Yeah,

412
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: what the best neighborhoods. The declining neighborhoods, hazardous neighborhoods. I

413
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: guess the loan money and I have to say mine

414
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: turned up red. So I'm hazardous. You're in a hazardous neighborhood,

415
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: I am.

416
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

417
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: And there's parts of Santa Monica that are too. Do

418
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: you see there is at Venice. I can't tell which

419
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: they're on that map there with the red. Now are

420
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: they hazardous because of maybe because of the threat of

421
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: tsunamis and flooding? I I didn't know that. It just well,

422
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: you're right, it doesn't say I mean, some just says

423
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: for investment purposes. All right, some areas are red and

424
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: it looks like they've been at poor neighborhoods or maybe

425
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: dangerous neighborhoods. Yeah. Then the ones along the coast, I

426
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: gotta believe it's got to be the water, the ocean,

427
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: except for look at Palace Verdi's estates all green. It's

428
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: very desirable. So yeah, well they're high up. I guess

429
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: that's true. Historically, red lined non white community such as

430
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: boil Heights have less tree canopy, greater housing density. Well

431
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: that's they have less birds. But that I mean, honestly,

432
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: what so I well, I'm supposed to feel guilt when

433
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: I go in my backyard and look at the yellow warbler.

434
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: I can't enjoy the yellow warbler. I have to stand

435
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: there and go you know the only reason I can

436
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: see this yellow warbler is because of my white privilege. Oh,

437
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: they do mention them here. Forest birds such as yellow

438
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: rumped warblers, band tailed pigeons, acorn woodpeckers, and black throated

439
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: gray warblers are more abundant in these areas like yours. Yeah,

440
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: do you know which kind of warbler you've been looking at?

441
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: Black throated gray water No? No, no, it's definitely bright yellow.

442
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's the yellow rump. Probably the yellow rumped warbler.

443
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: Probably the yellow rumped warbler.

444
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: Yes.

445
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: I thought you were really getting into this so you

446
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: would know. I thought you were going to become an expert.

447
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I can't remember all the species I'm probably remembering,

448
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: Like what the different species of flowers or trees or birds.

449
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: It's like I like looking at them in the moment,

450
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: and I'll look them up online. But then you know,

451
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: five minutes later, I've forgotten what I what I read.

452
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: I just can't seem to retain the names of all

453
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: these things right, But maybe if I did it every day.

454
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: See when I was a little kid, let's say about

455
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: seven eight years old, I had my cup scout binoculars,

456
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: and I took a lawn chair and I went in

457
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: the backyard and I threw out some sliced bread, and

458
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: I'd sit at the other end of the yard and

459
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: looked through the binoculars and look marvel at all the

460
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: birds that came to eat the bread. And I remember

461
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: seeing that were we had blue jays, we had cardinals,

462
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: we had obviously you grew up in an affluent green area.

463
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: Well you ever said that you didn't, I, well, there

464
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: were a lot of trees. It wasn't affluent, but they

465
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: we had a lot of trees too, and there was

466
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: a lot of birds there. There was, there were plenty

467
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: of birds. I can't say that I ever cared. I

468
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: was just in the backyard playing with football. I didn't

469
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: notice any birds. Let's they got. I've always had this

470
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: weird bird thing, bird bird fetish. Yes, that's really an

471
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: unkind word to use. But by the way, now that

472
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: you brought this up, huh, all right, is I one

473
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: of our friends they had this little fluffy dog. It

474
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: looked like looked like a mop, the mop, the fuffy

475
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: end of a mop. And some big hawk came one

476
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: day and shoop left right in front of the family,

477
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: picked it up and flew off, and they found the

478
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: remnants of the dog. Let us wear the neighbors horrible.

479
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

480
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

481
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: All right, we'll continue on, of course after two o'clock.

482
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: We'll have a special guest on the show. The Consul

483
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: General of Israel to the Pacific Southwest will join us

484
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: right after the news at two o'clock to talk about

485
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: what's going on, of course, with the attack by Hamas

486
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: inside of Israel last weekend. That'll come up after the

487
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: news at two o'clock. One of my favorite stories of

488
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: the week from Lovely San Francisco is maybe not a surprise,

489
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: but obviously a lot of major cities in this country

490
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: are seeing a scourge of stolen cars, particularly hitting up

491
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: like the Hyundai and Kias. You probably know about that

492
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: by now, because of the way they can rig it

493
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: to steal the car easier. Anyway, there are people in

494
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco who are tracking their stolen cars by tracking

495
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: their parking tickets. Not kidding you, Susan Ashton is fighting

496
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: a ticket she got last month on San Francisco's Park

497
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: Street for blocking a driveway. San CrOx goes for a

498
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: woman named Christy Gagan, who was written up a month

499
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: ago that on Turk Street for getting in the way

500
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: of street sweeping. Neither women can match somebody named Zuela Toruno,

501
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: who's pushing back on each of the eight tickets she

502
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: received in May on Stillman Street in San Francisco. They're

503
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: fighting the citations because the cars were stolen then parked

504
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: illegally by eves. They're using the parking tickets to track

505
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: where their cars are because San Francisco parking control officers

506
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: don't give a crap if the cars parked illegally and

507
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: they want the money. They just ticket the car. And

508
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: apparently there is a possibility they could get into the

509
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: system to find out if it was a reported stolen car,

510
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: but it doesn't look like it's done in practice. Yeah,

511
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't bother. You know, that's a great

512
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: way for San Francisco to crack a lot of these crimes. Right,

513
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, at least return the car. If you're returning

514
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: the car. Sure they're getting tickets, but instead they're harassing

515
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: the people who had their cars stolen because that's the

516
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: only name they have as far as the car getting

517
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: a printing ticket. But if somebody will don't know the

518
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: thief's name right right, So now you have to go

519
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: what to court and try to prove that your car

520
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: was stolen in September and there's tickets from October. I mean,

521
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: I guess if you filed a stolen car report, it

522
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: would be in the record somewhat, I know. But it

523
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: seems like they could get their act together and coordinate this.

524
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: So when a parking ticket officer comes up in a

525
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: legally parked car, he can find out if it's a

526
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: stolen car, right and not ticket it. The license plate

527
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: should match right away. Why can't they have a database

528
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: of stolen cars? They could, It could be done. They

529
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: just don't do it because they don't care. They figure,

530
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, these people, some of them are going to

531
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: pay their tickets. So this woman found her car in

532
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: the night of August eighteenth. Her Infinity SUV was taken

533
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: from outside her home. When she reported the theft of police,

534
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: She also visited the social network next door, where several

535
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: posters suggested she plug her license plate into a website

536
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: for the San Francisco Parking ticket agency. By Monday, sure enough,

537
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: she was ticketed in the Fillmore neighborhood, where thieves had

538
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: apparently abandoned it. Her husband drove waited for police. They

539
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: told him not to touch it when they arrived an

540
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: hour and a half later, hour and a half. Oh, oh,

541
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: they hadn't arrived in an hour and a half. He

542
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: drove the car to the police station. The car was

543
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: full of stolen property, credit cards, burglary tools, motorcycle part

544
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: So the guys that look like a shop shop who

545
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: set up inside my car? This total anarchy. So they

546
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: stole the car and then they used it to steal

547
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff. Yeah, they stored the stems.

548
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: Then they kuped the car, and she gets the ticket. Yes,

549
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: she gets the ticket. Right, you can't live there. Car

550
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: owners reported more than six thousand stolen cars to San

551
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: Francisco Police in both twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two,

552
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: And of course San Francisco Police tells the chronicle, Oh,

553
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: we recover most of the cars. We do. Yeah, is

554
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: it because the people who got the parking tickets helped

555
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 1: you work. I want I want to prove for that.

556
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. Yeah, it says here San Francisco

557
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 1: parking officers could locate stolen cars, but it would require

558
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: a technological fix, so fixed because non police agencies don't

559
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: have access to law enforcement databases. You see, that's where

560
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: the stolen cars are. So fix it that they should

561
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: fix it. All this can be fixed, and it can

562
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: be fixed very quickly to attach one database to the

563
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: other exactly.

564
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: Know.

565
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Again, it's more important to collect the ticket money, right,

566
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: I have to help people stall cars, right, especially God.

567
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean a huge percentage of people have had their

568
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: cars broken into or stolen in San Francisco, big percentage.

569
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: I've seen those polls. Yeah, right, hardly anybody, I think.

570
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: I think almost every person in San Francisco at least

571
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: knows of somebody who's had their cars broken into, her stolen.

572
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: All right, Moore, coming up, we're going to talk to
