1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Well, as we ended the show Friday, we found out

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: that the La City Council was going virtual and they

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: said that reason was because of COVID. Mike Bonnen tested

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: positive for COVID. Now Paul Krekorian has tested positive from

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: bond super spreader. That we could just could just be

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: the beginning. It could be the beginning. He might wipe

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: out the whole and of course the deal and dealing

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: on weren't they are long enough to write, they're gon

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: we didn't even show up. The rest of them are

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna be gone. This could be the way that they're

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: removed from the council, one COVID after another. So that's

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: the story for tomorrow and Wednesday. I guess whatever. They

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: have two meetings this week's schedule. They're going to do

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: it virtually, but yes, and I think you could yell

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: at them virtually too. Well, they know it. Did say

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna take public comments, right, yeah, sure, yeah. People

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: are going to be allowed to come around just sitting

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: in your living room and just shouting zoom or whatever

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: they use, and just that shout and make those one

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: minute speeches that's so effective, you know, just for a minute,

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: the city Council. Actually, this thing, well we'll talk about

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: this at a moment, but I kind of got pulled

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: over to your side. Think about this over the weekend.

24
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: We'll explain what that is. Steve Gregory is here because

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: the announcement today from Mitchell Farrell, the acting City council president,

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: is that, well, they're gonna strip sadal and Delhi one

27
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: of their committee assignments or dot. Let's get Steve on

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: and find out more. Hey, guys, and just so you know,

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: he has absolutely no interest in being permanent president of

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: the City Council. Yeah, I've heard that today. He seems

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: a little overwrought. It doesn't matter. He's going to get

32
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,919
Speaker 1: voted out next month. Well, the committee thing is actually

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: pretty important. You know. He removed them from any committee

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: chair spots they hadn't I had had a chance to

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: look him up yet, because I don't even know what

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: committees they chair. It says real Estate Development, Housing, Homelessness

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: and more. Actually, hey, the homeless committee, they're doing good

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: work there. Wow, that's a blow to heaven. How can

39
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: we create more homelessness? Anybody have any ideas? I think

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: that's what they do on that commit Well, the joke

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: was made in the press room this morning. It's like,

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: you know what, how about twenty five thirty homeless people

43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: could easily sleep in this room? Right? It was the

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: joke in the media room this morning. I'm telling you

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: we are the biggest collection of jaded, bitter people and

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the whole planet. Well you can understand now the way

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: city government is. Yeah, the indictment said, now, this stupid scandal.

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: So it's pretty funny because first I got first question

49
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: this morning and I wanted to know from Mitchell Farrell.

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I said, why should anybody in this city believe anything?

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: Anybody in this building ever says again, Wow, that's pretty encompassing,

52
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: you know, And he had a response to that. But then,

53
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of pushed him a little farther

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: and I said, well, in Eric, here cut a, this

55
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: is Mitchell Farrell. When I asked, aren't you afraid now

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: of the other shoe dropping? I said, let's go back

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: historically now, and I rattled off all the names of

58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: everyone been indicted and I said, you know, this is

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: one of the most corrupt bodies of government in the country.

60
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: And I said so because he made a statement how

61
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: his job. Now he's making it his mission to heal

62
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: the city. There it is and I said, it's a

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: big bay's a big band aid. And I said, the

64
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: city is still healing from englander. We's are And I

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: went down the list, and he said, don't forget our

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: friend Mark Ridley Thomas and news, I understand your lament.

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: That's how he started. I understand your lament, so you empathize. Yeah,

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: so here and cut a. I said, well, aren't you

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: afraid the other shoe's going to drop and other things

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: could be fallen out of the closet. We cannot live

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: in fear of what might be exposed in those recordings next, next, today,

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: next week, in the coming weeks and months. We cannot

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: govern in fear. I will not govern that way. I

74
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: don't live my life that way. We cannot govern with

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: a notion that things that were said beyond our control

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: by whomever will somehow harm our ability to serve the public.

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: That could happen. That's something I don't know anything. I

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: don't have any further information about. But but we have

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: to move forward. And we cannot govern in fear. You

80
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: said that, and we must not three times. And here's

81
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: the thing. We have to heal and move forward and

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: not govern in fear. So he did today as acting president,

83
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: removed both Sadio and Daileone from their committee posts. And

84
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: here's the interesting rub per council rules, in order to

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: be an active member of council, you must serve on

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: at least one committee. Oh so what I don't get

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: paid or what happens? Don't know? I ask him. I said,

88
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: can you explain the mechanics of all of that? And

89
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: he said, we're working on it. We'll let you know when.

90
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: No legal way for them to remove sadod Leon not

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: from the council, but they can strip them of their

92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: committeetions right and power. But that makes them inactive sure,

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: and then they can't vote on they can't vote on anything,

94
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: but they'll collect their paycheck. Oh see, that's all they

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: really care about. And that's really I mean, he said,

96
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: because I asked us, have you spoken to either of

97
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: these two men? And he said, and if so, when

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: he said, he spoke to Sadio last week, and he

99
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: says Sadia was in the process of reconciling his actions.

100
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: The words are great, and he said, but da Leone

101
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: has yet to return his phone calls or answer his phone.

102
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: And this is what makes me laugh about people protesting

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: in front of Daileon's home. You know as well as

104
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: I do, that those people are not at their homes.

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: That's probably their council home, right, right, some of them

106
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: don't live in Yeah, they don't live in those homes.

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: They have, some of them. I'm not saying, yeah, I'm

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: not saying it's worse than ghost guns in some cases. Right,

109
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: that's a joke, by the way, don't I don't need

110
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: any hassles, um, you know, you never know any more

111
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: of these people. So, but you know, I'm not saying

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: that that's the case here, I'm just saying it seems

113
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: awfully suspicious. Well, he's got another place to stay. Yeah,

114
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: they've all got double home somewhere, and they're all there

115
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: is nobody in this house there, they're sitting out front

116
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: of him. I talked to two photographers today when they

117
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: got to the media room this morning and I said,

118
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: and they said, oh, we've been over at da Leone's house.

119
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: And I said, you any sign of him? And like, no,

120
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: there's no. He's probably an airbnb he's probably trying to

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: make money on the side. He's going over to mister

122
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: Chiles for lunch. Where's the Where is the council house

123
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: of Da Leon's. I know it's in the distal, I

124
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't know where told I really don't, so

125
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: probably not near skid Row, probably not which but then

126
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: I think the only Tim o'ferrell got a little testy,

127
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: just to T T T dancy testy was when he

128
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: was asked about his relationship is very close relationship with

129
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: during Martinez, and Ben characterized you know because he said,

130
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: I think the reporter asked, you've been known as Dury

131
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: Martinez's right hand for many years, and you've been nuzzlin Neuri. Yeah,

132
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: so here and cut right had been Yeah, here's a

133
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: hear and cut be as Mitch's response, I am not

134
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: a chess piece on a chessboard. I'm nobody's boy. Cool.

135
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: I've never thought of myself as a diva. I don't

136
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: know that was used, and all of us are our

137
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: own person. The fallout from this is vast, but I

138
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: will not be beholden to some sort of claim from

139
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: anyone that I had nothing to do with Well, she

140
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: must have talked like that in front of him, I

141
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: don't know, but he also made a point of saying

142
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: that those comments were never made in the walls of

143
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: city Hall, because there's no way that would have been

144
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: tolerated in the walls of Oh now, he alluded to

145
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: perhaps more recordings, didn't he well a clip, Well, that

146
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: clip I've seen, this is the thing, Because he thought

147
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: I meant, and I had. I moved on. I didn't

148
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: want to play too long, but I moved on because

149
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not talking about just the clip, sir,

150
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm talking about corruption. I'm talking about everything else that's

151
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: been going on with this city Council. It's not limited

152
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: to what might or might not be in these recordings,

153
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: this hour and so recordings. But I said, I'm asking

154
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: you if you're worried about any more corruption, any more

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: skeleton's fallen out of the closet, anything like that and that,

156
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: And then he added on to his response basis, we're

157
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of the same thing. Because again I

158
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: go back to asking him, how, why should anyone trust

159
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: anybody ever again in this building? No, these are bunch

160
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: of corrupt a holes, a whole lot of them. So,

161
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: so nobody should trust or believe anything. So we don't

162
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: know that anybody's being investigated for anything, do we Oh,

163
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: silence is golden it. I'll tell you, well, let's move

164
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: on tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, tomorrow, we'll have to tune in

165
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: to see if because they may not have a quorum tomorrow,

166
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: and they may I'll be able to have a meeting

167
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: because now Krikorian's got COVID and don't know if he's

168
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,239
Speaker 1: going to log on. And O'Farrell has already told Sadon Daileone,

169
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: we don't want you on there tomorrow. Say it's safe

170
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: for them to log in because they're not going to

171
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: be He doesnt he does not want them logging in tomorrow.

172
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: So and then so he was pushed a little bit

173
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: about having these in persons. Does anybody have a sense

174
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: of what the voters in both districts want because we're

175
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: dealing publicly with a lot of insane activists who don't

176
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: represent anybody. But I wonder about the people in his

177
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: district because Di Leone and Sadio have a lot of accomplishments,

178
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: not stuff I agree with, but for their crowd, they've

179
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: had a lot of accomplishments, and I'm wondering if their

180
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: voters are really that unhappy because they weren't mocking Latinos there, No,

181
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: they were mocking other people here. And maybe a lot

182
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: of these studs could just be to defund the police

183
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: or leftover occupy people. It's a lot of the residents

184
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: who knows they might share similar feelings about other ethnicities

185
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: and races and all that, and they're probably shrugging their

186
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: shoulders and say, so, here's the fear that I was

187
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: hearing downtown today. A lot of the fear is the

188
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: only person representing the Latino districts now that community is

189
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: Monica Rodriguez, and there is a fear down there now

190
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: that the African American representation will now outnumber the Latino

191
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: representation on the council. O'Farrell's also pushing for more seats.

192
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: He wants to do a charter amendment in the city

193
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: Charter to increase the number of chairs and seats on

194
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: the council. How about they pick people who know what

195
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: they're doing to govern the city and stop, how do

196
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: you do that's race? People should vote for candidates who

197
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: have accomplished things or are capable of accomplishing things. So far,

198
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: this crowd is only capable of taking bribe money and

199
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: insulting one another. Bless your heart, John, No, I mean

200
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: it's enough with this, Like, enough with all the stupid

201
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: virtue signaling and all the the what do you call that?

202
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: The identity politics. Yeah, I'm just so fed up with

203
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: identity politics. I'm so fed up with hearing about how

204
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: many Hispanics do we have, how many blacks, how many whites?

205
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: What are the percentages? It's like they're all bad. They're

206
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: all no good. Bonnet and Krikorian are no good, and

207
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: deadly on Asidia are no good. And all of them,

208
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: regardless of their color, they're no good. Really, Thomas was

209
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: no good. You got all different colors there. They're all

210
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: bad people. They're all bad, stupid, corrupt politicians. I will

211
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: only tell you this in my experience and covering this

212
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: for a lot of years, is that you never know

213
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: that when they're first elected and when they first get

214
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: into office. No, seriously, think about it for a second.

215
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: People are just starry eyed unicorns and rainbows when their

216
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: candidate gets in there, and then it takes a little

217
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: while for that to get foothold. And when they get

218
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: in there and they start learning the system, think about

219
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: how many bright eyed, bushy tailed people have gone to

220
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Senate in Congress and they come back, you know, shredded

221
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: and bloodied. They just can't handle it. I like Ridley Thomas,

222
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: who had to run in with him over twenty years ago.

223
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew he was ay yeah, but by

224
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: then he was already in politics for twenty years then. Yeah. Well,

225
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying a lot of these guys, and everybody

226
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: on the inside knows that these guys are bastards. This

227
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: is the only man, including the press, not including you,

228
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: but all those all those jackals at the LA Times,

229
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: they all know that these people are correct. Well, I'll

230
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: tell you. I'll tell you something right now. If if

231
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: I had a way to wire tap, I would love

232
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: to wire tap everybody right now on the council and

233
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: the and the Board of Supervisors, because you know that

234
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: phone lines are burning up all over town right now,

235
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: because everyone wants to know. Now there's their second guessing themselves.

236
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Have I said anything? What am I doing? Who's recording me?

237
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: And might and then anyone who's disgruntled that left city

238
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: council or anyone who's disgruntled that left any kind of government.

239
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: You don't know now, And there's a reason why it

240
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: took a year before that audio came out. All right, Steve,

241
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: thank you very much. That's because of the statute of limitations.

242
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: It was calculated. Oh is that right. That's why it

243
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: took a year. Yeah, they can't get it so it's

244
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: a one year statue. There's no criminal case. Criminal case,

245
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: that's why. That's why they waited. I thought they were

246
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: trying to time it for these elections running behind here

247
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: and thanks the twenty four our cafe. All right. Of course,

248
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: the big news today was that the La City Council

249
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: members are under fire thanks to this recording of the

250
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: three of them along with a labor official talking about redistricting,

251
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: but talking about Gil Siddal and Kevin di Leone. They've

252
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: been stripped of their committee positions, but it looks like

253
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: they'll still get paid. Scared me there, shifted their clothing. Yeah,

254
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see either one of them. What.

255
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: By the way, Deleone's council home, the fake home is

256
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: in Eagle Rock, just say you know that's where these

257
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: people have been camping out. Now, something that emerged in

258
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: the last and you figured it would you usually say, John,

259
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: wait three days and it took like a week one

260
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: Jose Gutierrez with the full Rights for Immigrants collision, So

261
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: you can guess where he's coming from. Kevin is an adult.

262
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: He knows the seriousness of this. It's is responsibility to

263
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: take the step that he feels is the most appropriate.

264
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: Whether that's resigning or not, is his decision. And he

265
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: said what you just said, John, We respect the work

266
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: that he's done. That's why we're here. We know that

267
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: he is not a racist. Heard somebody else say that,

268
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: how did they put this because the crowd was always

269
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: still calling for their heads. They said, oh, he wasn't

270
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: the worst, and he did not really add too much

271
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: racism to the conversation. Applying that was Neuriy Martinez. Now, yeah, yes,

272
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: it was NeuRA Martinez said the worst of it. If

273
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: you had to sacrifice one person on language crimes, then

274
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: it would be Neurie Martinez. Kevin di leone total output

275
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: was nowhere near Nouri Martinez. Yeah. Apparently he apologized for

276
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: what he said about Bonn and kind of adding to

277
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: the piling on that Dorry Martinez did over the kid,

278
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: and he said a couple of things there. That's another thing,

279
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, he made a joke or maybe it was

280
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: said about the indigenous people. And I can't stand Kevin

281
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: di Leone. I think he's the biggest fool, the biggest buffoon.

282
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: He's dumb as a rock. But I think the bigger

283
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: issue here is people being illegally taped and then private

284
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: conversations being aired out, and then people getting their careers

285
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: destroyed over comments or jokes or however you want to

286
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: characterize any of this. I find that to be the

287
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: to be totalitarian, like the Soviet Union and communist China,

288
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: and that is not a society I want to be

289
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: a part of or want to live in. It's well, really,

290
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: what it is is the cancel culture. Yeah, so I

291
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: think that you should let Kevin de Leone stand. If

292
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: he gets recalled, he gets recalled. If he gets voted

293
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: out in twenty twenty four, he's voted out in twenty

294
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: twenty four. That's that's the anti cancel culture position. Well, yeah,

295
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: it's it's fair game for a recall and a revote

296
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: or wait till the next round. That's fair. If his

297
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: people don't like the way he represents them, then fine,

298
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: get rid of them. But this idea that a bunch

299
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: of jackals who pound on drums and actually don't have

300
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: a job. Combined with Twitter idiots, they get to call

301
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: the shots in the society. Oh that's got to end.

302
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: That's got to stop. This has been going on too

303
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: many years now. The Times, which has run way too

304
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: many stories about this, they put word in there today.

305
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really seeing colorism. Colorism is dad not a

306
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: classic headline. Listen to this La Latinos grapple with familiar colorism. Colorism,

307
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: colorism and there's another term for racism or come some

308
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:42,479
Speaker 1: cons No, it's it's like when lighter skinned Mexicans. Oh right,

309
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: they trade darker skinned Mexicans badly. That's okay. See the Times,

310
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: it's trying to make this point that we have to

311
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: work together Latinos and blacks because we're both you know,

312
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: underclass in LA. So we can't have this divide where

313
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: there's council people sitting there that may these comments about

314
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: the blacks. You see, that's their position to you know,

315
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: you need someone in there who's going to work with

316
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: the other minority. Is Latinos are a minority. But I'm

317
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: just saying this is getting really cheedy. People believe in

318
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: the power play position than l Los Angeles. They are

319
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: a minority people. That's really getting tedious. You are never

320
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna make human beings not tribal. That's impossible. We've been

321
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: tribal since we are in caves. We will be tribal forever.

322
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: It's hard coded in our DNA. So you get people

323
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: got to come up with some new angle here and

324
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: not just constant lectures saying you must do this and

325
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: you must do that. It's like, well, it's not going

326
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: to happen obviously. I mean they want people to work together,

327
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: Well they're not and overcome their racial difference. They're not

328
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: particularly what means fighting back against the white power class.

329
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I got from all those articles.

330
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, but don't you see all this has gotten

331
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: worse ever since we went into it's a high gear

332
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: over the last ten years or social media, with everybody

333
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: lecturing everyone, everyone canceling everyone, everyone playing a gotcha game

334
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: and record, it's gotten much worse. Nobody's happy. Why Because

335
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: we're trying to go against human nature. Human nature just

336
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: naturally separates itself. All right, We'll have more on the

337
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: LA City Council mess a little later on the show.

338
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: Johnny ken KF I am six forty live everywhere on

339
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app Let's Go Dodgers. Am I a little late? Yeah? Yeah?

340
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: What did surprise me? Because I the goose became a

341
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: big thing that Padres fans had had a little geese.

342
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: Oh they've they're perpetated the goose. They did. They turned

343
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: it into sort of a bat la thing. Oh see,

344
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be the Dodgers players are even

345
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: carrying one around on the field afterwards. Yeah, that was

346
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be the Dodgers rally goose. Now the Padres

347
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: have the rally goose. Not because the goose didn't help

348
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. So man, I guess the fans adopted the goose.

349
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: That was bad goose. It wasn't a rally for the

350
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: Padres though they were winning when the goose was on

351
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: the field. No, But because the Dodger did not rally,

352
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: they were going at the goose is a good thing

353
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: to doom the Dodgers. Eric is looking for sports faces.

354
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why they appropriated the goose either. I

355
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: couldn't figure it out, but it was all over the park.

356
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: Everybody had little They were holding them up for the camera. Stuck.

357
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Sports fans aren't rational. There was a ghost there and

358
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: the series, and I realize there's nothing to do with

359
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: what we talk about on the show. I just gotta

360
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 1: take a minute. One of the all time hack sports

361
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: columnists at the Times is Bill Plashky. Yes, and when

362
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: Bill Plashki declares something in sports, you can bet on

363
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: the opposite. So he declared months ago, this is probably

364
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: the greatest Dodger team in history history of the Dodgers.

365
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: So you can only imagine what he wrote over the

366
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: weekend with the lost Saturday Night basically say you'd like

367
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: had a threefold thing. It's it's it's the worst disaster

368
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: in the history of the Dodgers. This will never be overcome.

369
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: Bla bla, bla bla. And it even wipes out the

370
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty championship. It does yeah, because that was a

371
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: sixty game in COVID short and see, yeah, now we

372
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: can look at it as a yeah, well, yeah, a

373
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of fans are not impressed with

374
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: the sixty game championship. That's kind of how he felt. Now.

375
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: I'd think at the time he didn't say that, but

376
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: I ten well ten years in the playoffs and you

377
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: have one, uh half a championship and not even half. No,

378
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: it's well, those playoffs are are are very difficult. I mean,

379
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's my problem with baseball. You

380
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: play one hundred and sixty two freaking games and then

381
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: you can be out in a blink. I mean they

382
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: were in the Dodgers, they were in one hundred and

383
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: eleven games and they're gone in four. Well yeah, and

384
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: they beat the Padres by twenty two games during the season,

385
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: and they won fourteen out of nineteen between them, and

386
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: uh so I think to make it fair that the

387
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: Padres have to win four or five and the Dogors

388
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: only have to win two to advance, you get it

389
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: to kind of a yeah, I know, you can something

390
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: like that. It's made up thing. Look, they're not interested

391
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: in crowning the best team as the champion. They're interested

392
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: in making as much money as possible with extra rounds playoffs. Yeah, so,

393
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, one's got nothing to do with the other.

394
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: If that was the case, then the Dodgers and Yankees

395
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: would be in the World Series every year. Though, yes,

396
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: because they don't have real hard spending caps. I mean,

397
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, a team like Cleveland can't compete with the

398
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: TV contract the Dodgers have, So you'd have to have

399
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: you'd have to have total socialism, which they have more

400
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL they do. Yeah, they share the revenue

401
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: from Yeah, media coverage. Well, here's a good one from

402
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: and we don't talk about COVID much. But if this

403
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: is true and it's a daily mail special, then the

404
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: world is probably over as we know it. Experts condemn

405
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 1: Boston Lab for creating a new deadly COVID strain with

406
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: an eighty percent kill rate, warning it could spark a

407
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: lab generated pandemic. Now we all know that many people

408
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: believe that the original WUHAD COVID strain may have come

409
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: from that nearby lab thanks to NIH funding, thanks to

410
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: doctor Yeah, Well that that's what happened. It's called gain

411
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: of function research, and they have been doing this for generations.

412
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: What do you think those researchers do all day in

413
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: these labs. They play with all these viruses to see

414
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: if they can make them more powerful, because it's fun

415
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: to do that. I thought they would play with the

416
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: viruses to see how they can protect us from them. No,

417
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm being too optimistic and I'm naive this is biological

418
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: warfare that the government is Boston University. But yeah, and

419
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: the government will write a check to Boston University. It'll

420
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: be laundered through various organizations, like the money to Wuhan

421
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: was laundered, right Faucci. Fauci sent the check from the

422
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: NIH and it went to some group in New York City,

423
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: and the New York City sent it to Wuhan, so

424
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: that everybody has plausible deniability. It's like, well, no, that's

425
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: not what we did. No, I didn't send any money

426
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 1: like that. It's a it's a game, and that's what

427
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: they do. They're working. All the countries are all the

428
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: big countries are working biological So if we have to

429
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: kill everybody off, we will. Maybe this is an idea

430
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: to unleash something in the Kremlin, so the Putin goes

431
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: down quickly. No, yeah, and then they would unleash something

432
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: to kill everybody in Washington, DC. Now, this research has

433
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: not been peer reviewed. A team of researchers from Boston

434
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: and Florida extracted omicron spike protein that and we've always

435
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: talked about the spike on the so apparently they attached

436
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: the spike from omicron to the original wild type strain

437
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: that first emerged in Wuhan. Remember omicron was a later variant,

438
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: And by putting these two together, they then wanted to

439
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: see what happened to mice, and in the first round,

440
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: eighty percent of them croaked. But they did another round

441
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of them just had mild symptoms. So

442
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: that's why this isn't a short thing yet that this

443
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: is going to wipe out a lot of people. If yeah,

444
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: but if this thing gets unleashed, if it's not this creation,

445
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: it'll be the story. Or maybe they've done it already.

446
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm you don't know how evil these researchers are. It's

447
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like them developing better nuclear weapons. Well,

448
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: they're just nerds who love playing the game. Yeah, they

449
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: get paid to play this game. You get contracts to

450
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: play the game. You make a lot of money, you

451
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: get prestige, and they always have a cover story. Well,

452
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: we just want to, you know, use this to research

453
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: just in case something like this breaks out from another

454
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: country and then maybe we could develop a vaccine. That's

455
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: always the cover story. No, that's a good cover story,

456
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: right right, because China could be working on this right now, sure,

457
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: or China could be watching and reading the story and saying, all,

458
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: we gotta go do this. It's like the nuclear arms race.

459
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: Though eventually you have all these weapons sitting around and

460
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: some lunatic is going to use them. Because that's why

461
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: I said we're doomed. They can actually do this. They

462
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: can actually combine the mutations and find one that's we're

463
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: probably doomed. It sounds like we won't need nukes to

464
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: kill us. Each version of COVID covers the other version's flaws, right,

465
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: whatever gaps there are in in one virus is right,

466
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: because the virus will mutate to survive. Yeah, so it'll

467
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: constantly try to mutate in order to just make sure

468
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: it's still moving from person to person and as a host.

469
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: So I guess it might do that. You're right, welthough,

470
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: I thought, except for a couple of bumps in the road,

471
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: like these variants we have now they're b dash seventy

472
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: five dash. Well, they don't seem like they're That's why

473
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: they got to release a new product. They're kind of duds,

474
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: that's right. They realized that the variants aren't doing much anymore,

475
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: so let's see if we can get a super variant.

476
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: We'll combine the variants. Yeah, we'll take the best deadly

477
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: qualities of one and combine with the best deadly qualities

478
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: of another. The only reason we know about the bat

479
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: virus is because it got loose in the laboratory. Otherwise

480
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: we never would have known about all this research that

481
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: the Chinese were doing and that we were funding. This

482
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: would have just gone on forever in secret. But then

483
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, somebody tripped and you know, broke a beaker

484
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: and inhaled the inhaled the virus, and that started the pandemic.

485
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: But we weren't supposed to know all this. There's a

486
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: lot of other stuff we don't know. All right, coming

487
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: up after three o'clock, you got to be listening for

488
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: this is a brand new pole out of Harvard of

489
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: all places, concerning American voters thoughts on crime, how bad

490
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: they think it is, Who they blame? You gotta hear this.

491
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: It's coming up after the news at three. Who they blame?

492
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: Who they blame? John and Ken Cafe, I am six

493
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Well, the girl

494
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: was naked, she's walking around naked. Thank I'm watching from

495
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: the Charlie hum show or something she should be on.

496
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: No photos on she white, black, ernest, she's naked and

497
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: blame on the gage floor. I couldn't in the garage

498
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: on the floor, laying on the floor naked with a

499
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: naked body looking right at George. Then she said to

500
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: me take off your clothes. So you were new too, right,

501
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: And at that point I took off my clothes. I

502
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: was like, no way, naked, naked and in front of

503
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: a crowd. And now an update from the John and

504
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Cat Naked Desk. Here's John and Cat. It's been a while,

505
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: It has been a while. Yeah, we haven't called him

506
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: the Naked Desk in a while. This is a really

507
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: unusual story of which I don't think we've ever done

508
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: anything like it at the Naked Desk when you think

509
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: about it. Just a quick reminder coming up after three o'clock.

510
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: And you gotta love it when you pull up the

511
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: story and you see freaking Gavin Newsom's big head on

512
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: top of the story that a poll of the voters

513
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: around the country are very concerned about rising crime and

514
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: many blame woke politicians and therefore Insom's head. An astounding

515
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: number of people are bloke politicians. I was. There was

516
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: not a fabrication. Publications like the Olsagundo Times have been

517
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: trying to tell you for the past couple of years

518
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: that it's all the exaggeration and it's not like it

519
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: was in the nineties and blah blah blah blah blah.

520
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't seen this in the La Times.

521
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: This po this poll. It's from Harvard Harris. Yeah, I know,

522
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. I think pulling now. Yeah, by the way,

523
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: she's in town, so watch out for traffic, John, I

524
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: going to be really sure. Hope she doesn't come to

525
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: come to her house. She's also doing a fundraiser near

526
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: your home. Miss fundraiser at the was the grocery store

527
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: you saw rad Um when she had a grim face.

528
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: Was right if she was running for president? It was.

529
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: It was right before she was dropping out. She was dropped.

530
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: I was before okay, yeah, yeah, she knew it was over.

531
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: I gotta go buy my own groceries now because she

532
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: dropped out before the first primary because she was doing

533
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: so badly. She was a three percent never made it.

534
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: Dent had a big moment with Obama and one debate

535
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: not with Obama, with Biden in one debate and that

536
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: was the end of that. We're at the naked desk

537
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: because of Oh dear, this is not happening in the US,

538
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: but apparently it's happening on the border between Greece and

539
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: Turkey naked migrants. Now ninety two men ended up nude

540
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: at the border between Greece and Turkey, and now the

541
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: two countries are blaming each other for the nakedness. That's

542
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: quite a photo too of the naked men. Yeah, they

543
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: seem to be kind of huddled together too, and they're

544
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: covering their genitals. Apparently young strapping men naked. Do we

545
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: know are they Syrians? It's often Syrians that are involved

546
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: in this part of the world with migration efforts. But

547
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean they look I can't tell.

548
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: It's a blurred photo, it says here the Greek Migration minister,

549
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: Notice Mirorachi, shared one photo showing these men with their

550
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: faces blurred, gathered together with all of their clothes removed,

551
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: some crouching and covering the genitals. Now, NBC News claims

552
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: they have not independently verified the circumstances about the image,

553
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: and it was and it was unclear why the men

554
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: are without clothes. Yeah, I guess, well, in order to

555
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: get into our country, you must completely strip the men.

556
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: The men were found near the Evros River, which is

557
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: a border between Greece and Turkey. Police say the men

558
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: had traveled across the river in rubber dinghies. M okay.

559
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: They still doesn't explain why they have no clothes or

560
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: did it was it very hot? They just never heard

561
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: the phrase rubber dinghies. Uh yeah, my dingling. The Greek

562
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: Greece has a citizen protection minister. Would that be like

563
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: in charge of defense or crime or I don't know.

564
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Pacus Theodora Locacos said that migrants accounts suggested they had

565
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: been taken there by the Turkish military police. All he's

566
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: claiming that Turkey dump them just on the Greek side

567
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: of the border. You see, Well, Turkey is not putting

568
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: up with migration. Oh is that what's the case? Yeah? Yeah,

569
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: And you know, Turkey is obviously a common entry point

570
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: because it's the farthest east of all the European nations.

571
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: Out Front TECHS, the European Union's border agency, assisted in

572
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: the rescue of these ninety two men. Some had visible injuries.

573
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: That's why it's become a real human rights issue. Besides

574
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: being a nude, they were perhaps beaten or whipped. Well,

575
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: you know the reputation of Turkish prisons. Oh you're right, Yeah,

576
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: so that's that's right, that movie from like the seventies. Yeah,

577
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: you don't. I don't think i'd express was it or something? Yeah? Yeah,

578
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: you don't want to sneak into Turkey. Ishmal Katakle, Turkey's

579
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: Interior minister, rejected the accusation as you couldn't find one

580
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: single case of human rights violations by Turkey. You just

581
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: seek to expose image of your cruelty you've inflicted, as

582
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: if Turkey has done this kind of a strange I

583
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: guess it's the interpretation of what he's saying that makes

584
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: no sense. Well, of course they did it, and this

585
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: is what they do. They corect In Altoon, the Turkish

586
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: government's communications director called it Greek fake news. That's a

587
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: good one apart one from Trump. Yeah, every Gece once

588
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: again showed the world that it does not even respect

589
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: the dignity of these oppressed people by publishing the photographs

590
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: of these refugees that it deported, extorting their personal belongings.

591
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: So he's claiming that they migrated to Greece and Greece

592
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: shoved them to the border without clothes. So both sides

593
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: are claiming the other side dumped these men in this

594
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: spot between the two countries. Neither side cares these are

595
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: probably foreigners from outside Greece and Turkey, and you could

596
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: see other countries just don't put up with this. But

597
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: for Greece to take the picture and reveal this story

598
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: tells me it is a Turkish situation. Probably yeah. But

599
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: now now Turkeys saying, well, look how you're humiliating them,

600
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: humiliating them by taking a picture. So oh, but you

601
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: know what they're doing pretty well. The European Union has

602
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: had two hundred and thirty thousand irregular entries in the

603
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: first nine months of this year. What are we running

604
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: at two point six million? Right, We're we're being much

605
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: more overrun than the European Union because we don't we
