That happens a lot. We just 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: get distracted. This little shiny object in front of Oh yeah, 10 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: look over here, the Office of Food Equity. Oh yes, 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: we have another bureaucratic opening in the County of Los Angeles. 12 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: Believe it or not, the supervisors were proud to announce 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: the new Office of Food Equity. 14 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. We'll talk about that in a few minutes. 15 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: There's been another well sort of twist in the story 16 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: concerning a man by the name of Well Samuel Bond 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: Haskell fourth. It was charged yesterday with three counts of 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: murder in connection with the disappearance. 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: Of his wife and his in laws. 20 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: All they seem to have right now is a torso 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 2: that they leave is probably part of the wife's body. 22 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 2: They haven't heard this story, This Tarzana man, who apparently 23 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: was very mentally unstable and also loved samurai swords and 24 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: machetes okay filling the rest of that, apparently decided it 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 2: was time to doing his wife and his in laws. 26 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: So what made the story incredibly bizarre is that he 27 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,279 Speaker 2: put the body parts in bags and then he hired 28 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: some day laborers to remove them, yeah from his home 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: on number seventh. So they took the bags that weighed 30 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: about fifty pounds. They stopped about a block away. They 31 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: knew this wasn't right. They looked inside, they saw some 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: of the dismembered body parts, including a belly button, and 33 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: drove them back to the house oh where he said 34 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: they were halloween props. He then put the bags into 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: the back of his tesla, drove them to Encino and 36 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: dumped them. Now the men didn't end the story there. 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: They said that he was going to pay them five 38 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: hundred dollars to haul away the bags. But when the 39 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: bags felt soft and soggy, they knew they weren't dealing 40 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: with rocks but with meat, so they thought maybe this 41 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: is meat. But then they looked inside and realized it's 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: people parts, so they did end up at LAPD's Topanga 43 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: area police station. Now they don't speak English, so they 44 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: go to the front desk and what they're told go 45 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: call nine one one. The officer at the death did 46 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: not speak Spanish. He couldn't understand the story. So I 47 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: basically it sounds like you just sent them away. 48 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: Police to Panga. I guess. I guess the demographics are 49 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: different there. You would think there'd be somebody in the 50 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: police station know Spanish. There's plenty of people who do, 51 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: but you know, maybe not to Panga. 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 2: And I imagine whatever English they knew, it just sounded 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: too wild to this police officer and probably make But yeah, 54 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: but they'd already returned the bags, Yes, but they should 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: have finally. Well but when the police finally went to 56 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 2: find the bags, they were already gone. Yeah, so there 57 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: probably was a short window there for them to get 58 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: over there before Haskell loaded them all up in his tesla. 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: Wasn't that environmentally conscious and took him to a dumpster 60 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: that could have been the whole family. Yes, Uh, so 61 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: they're going to do an internal investigation. Police chief Michael 62 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: ben Denie Moore said, my concern is that the very 63 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: act right there of having them go outside and call 64 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: nine to one one versus summoning a unit the other 65 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,279 Speaker 2: available channels ensuring that the people remained there. With their cooperation, 66 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: they did eventually dispatch a police squad to the location, 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: but as we told you, there were no remains there 68 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: because this guy had already loaded them into his tesla. 69 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm taking them away. I just can't believe LPD fifty 70 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: Los Angeles is Hispanic fIF and they don't have anybody 71 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: who speaks Spanish. I mean we've got we've got hundreds 72 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: of thousands, there's not millions of people who speak Spanish 73 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: in La. 74 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: They do it at every press conference, right, somebody walks 75 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: up there and does a quick Spanish interpretation. 76 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: Gascone stops his English to go off in a lengthy 77 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: Spanish translation, even before he's done finishing his statements. They, 78 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: by the way, there's more to this. 79 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: They ended up at the LAPD station because they first 80 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: went to a nearby State Highway Patrol office who told 81 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: them just go to LAPDS to Pangas station. You know, 82 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: if somebody walks in there, I don't care what kind 83 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: of police office you are. And I got a story 84 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: about possible body parts and trash bags. You think that 85 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: would move quickly to the top of the list. So 86 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: that's another question. And they should have had this is 87 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: not our you know, our jurisdiction. They should have had 88 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: him draw a picture. 89 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: At least it's really work. 90 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 3: You know. 91 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: I called the nine one one this morning, you did. Yeah. 92 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: I was at the park, you know, where we played 93 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: tennis and work out, and there was a screaming, crazy lady, 94 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: old woman who had seen before in the area. She 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: dresses in all black. She looks like a witch, truly, 96 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: like she stepped out of some Disney story. And she 97 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: wears a scarf on her head, white hair, very pale. 98 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: She screams with an Eastern European accent, and she's got schizophrenia. 99 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: She's always motioning and talking to imaginary people, and she 100 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: screams and yells. And she's standing on the sidewalk right 101 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: in front of the parking lot at the park, and 102 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: there's mothers afraid to get out of their car because 103 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: it was nine o'clock it was time to take the 104 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: kids to the playground, and people didn't want to leave 105 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: their cars because she's screaming. Then another guy walks by her, 106 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: an older guy, with white hair, and he starts she 107 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: starts chasing him, and he starts running away from her, 108 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: just screaming and screaming and screams. I called nine one one, 109 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: and they sent to LAPD. They showed up, I don't 110 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: know twenty minutes later. I'd already left, but they called 111 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: me back and I said, I know this. I see 112 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: this lady all the time, because she shows up at 113 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: the local grocery store and screams at people entering the store. 114 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: For years, she's been doing this. Or she stands at 115 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: one of the gas stations and screams at people pumping 116 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: their gas, or she's standing at the bus stop and 117 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: she screams people. 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: Wait, yes, she's likely not screaming at people. She's got 119 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: the voices in her head that she's arguing. Yeah, ex 120 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: usually what it is. 121 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, But if you get in her line of sight, 122 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: she'll start turning this, we'll turn towards you, Oh she will. 123 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: And you can't really understand her.

We have a writer 347 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: for the Wall Street Journal by the name of Joanna 348 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: Stern who did a story that's headlined I visited over 349 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty EV chargers. Three reasons why so 350 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 2: many are broken? 351 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: She is in La doing this. This is all La County. 352 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: Our columnist Los Angeles Power Struggle featured out of order signs, 353 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 2: payment errors, and connection problems. 354 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: Over the course of forty eight hours. 355 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: With a few naps or bathroom breaks, Joanna Stern examined 356 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 2: more than one hundred and twenty non Tesla EV fast 357 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: charging stalls across Los Angeles battling out of order signs, 358 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 2: payment issues, and quote bad handshakes. 359 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: See what that means, bad handshakes. Yeah, they it says 360 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: La County has more public fast chargers than any other 361 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: in the country. From the beach in Santa Monica parking 362 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: garagers under Rodeo Drive, she and her video producer visited 363 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: thirty non Tesla fast charging stations and she ran into 364 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,239 Speaker 1: problems at thirteen of them. That's over forty percent at 365 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: the fast charging stations that was a problem. Some of 366 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: them are simply out of order. They had signs on 367 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: the screen that says charger unavailable or out of service. 368 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: These are ones like evy Go, Electrify America, and something 369 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: called EVCs. Of the one hundred and twenty six stalls 370 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: I inspected death twenty seven percent were out of order 371 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: that you had a sign or a dead screen or 372 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: an error reading charger unavailable or out of service. 373 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: Now these are just the fast charging stations. Most of 374 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: them are slow charging. 375 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the ones I see. I don't see do 376 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 2: they say it on it that they're fast charging. I 377 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: never really look. 378 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: I go drive past these, but I've never looked, but 379 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: most of them are slow charging. So you got to 380 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: sit there for hours. Yeah, I'm gonna sit there for 381 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: two hours. 382 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: All the companies told me they have network operators monitoring 383 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 2: the chargers twenty four to seven. 384 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right. 385 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 2: When a problem pops up, they deploy technician to assess 386 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 2: and fix the issue. So what was wrong with these 387 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 2: particular machines. It could be one of many things. A 388 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: broken part, a power issue, a defective connector. 389 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: See, monitoring just means you're looking at a screen and 390 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: you say, oh, yeah, that's disconnected, that doesn't work. Monitoring 391 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: means you're just looking. But now if you've got to 392 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: send a guy out to fix it and he needs 393 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: the part, Oh, the part's not in stock. We've got 394 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: to order the part. It's gonna be here in two weeks. 395 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: Oh it's defective connector. Well we've got to take it 396 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,239 Speaker 1: back to the shop and diagnose what the problem is. 397 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 2: Electrify America only rolled out five years ago, they're already 398 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 2: replacing most of their original fast chargers. She said that 399 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: the Chinatown Bank of America parking lot was like coming 400 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: down the stairs on Christmas morning, three new chargers still 401 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: in plastic wrap. Evy Go apparently isn't just is busy. 402 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: They told her we're in the process of upgrading and 403 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: decommissioning or replacing stalls. 404 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: Here's this was my favorite in the whole story. She 405 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: went to an evy Go in Culver City. She repeatedly 406 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: tried the credit card reader, used several different cards. Every 407 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: time the system demanded cash only, cash only. There's no 408 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: money slot to put the cash. 409 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at a picture of the device and 410 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 2: I don't see any place to put cash. So cash 411 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 2: and visa MasterCard and you can tap, but no, there's 412 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: no place to put a bill. 413 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: You gotta have a lot of cash on you, and 414 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: then if you do, there's no slot for it. But 415 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: the screen still flashes cash only. What's wrong with people? 416 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: Ten percent of the working stalls at the site had 417 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: paintment issues. You swipe your card, says error. Put in 418 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: the cheap readar chip reader, it says error, Try another card, error, error, 419 00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: error error. Why do these machines hate credit cards? She writes, Well, 420 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: according to one of the officers at the company, listen 421 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: to this. The makers of the charging hardware and the 422 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: credit card reader machines are often different, so they don't 423 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: integrate with each other. So you got a company that 424 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: makes the charger, you got another company makes the credit 425 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: card machine, and they don't talk to each other. Well, 426 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: what's the point of that? 427 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 2: And then the one I mentioned that puzzled me, the 428 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 2: handshake failure. You find a stall that works, you beat 429 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 2: the payment button. The car and the charger, though don't 430 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 2: want to connect. I experienced this so called handshake problem 431 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: at a handful of stations. They just did not match up. 432 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: So the car, the charger into the card, nothing happens. 433 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: The car doesn't talk to the charger, the charger doesn't 434 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: talk to the credit card payment box. 435 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: Nobody's talking to anybody. If there's a timeout before things align, 436 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: you have to unplug and start over. 437 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: What's the point of this entire industry? 438 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: It's still in its infancy, would be my response. I'm 439 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: telling you Tesla got ahead of the game. You notice 440 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: she didn't use the Tesla. In twenty twenty four, Tesla 441 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 2: will start allowing Rivian, fod GM and other car models 442 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 2: to charge. 443 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: I thought, I read, though it's only gonna be. 444 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: The new car models. You can't go up there with 445 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 2: an older Rivian. I don't know I could be wrong. 446 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: Well, some of the charging company executives think that the 447 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: Tesla Tesla network is going to have trouble supporting all 448 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: the different ev models it is. 449 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's already people who have to wait behind 450 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: other Teslas to get their charge. And now you have 451 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 2: to wait behind all these other cars. 452 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, because Tesla is they call it a walled garden 453 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: in business terms, like Apple is like that as well. 454 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: Right with Apple, you can only use Apple products, yes, 455 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: and it's not designed to use outside products. You're supposed 456 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: to stay in Apple. The same thing with Tesla. It's 457 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: designed to use Tesla centric PROSCT products. Right. 458 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: But they're gonna they're allowing these other car companies to 459 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: come in there and use their chargers. Is it going 460 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 2: to work so well, they'll be outfitted so that they 461 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: do have a good handshake. But that's the theory I think, 462 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 2: because that's why I thought it was the new models, 463 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four Rivian, because that way it can 464 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: be made sure it's it'll connect to the Tesla charger. 465 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. 466 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, But if you have an older model, whether they 467 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 2: give you a piece of equipment that'll retrofit that you 468 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 2: can plug into the Tesla charger. I'm not sure, but 469 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: this is the reality that's out there and why so 470 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 2: many people just say screw it. Oh, I'm not going 471 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 2: to get an electric car because this is a hassle 472 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 2: and we don't even talk about I mean, I don't 473 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: know how long the fast charger takes. 474 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: I wonder these fast chargers. Uh. 475 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: I know people with Teslas and you can get that 476 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: thing back up in thirty minutes. That seems like a 477 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: long time for people who use gas, but that does 478 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 2: seem that's. 479 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: Better than hours an overnight. 480 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: I've never had thirty minutes to bump gas. Now you 481 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: have to go do something, no, take a walk out 482 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: of a store. 483 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: If the legislature does not pull back on there electric 484 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: car mandate, it's really gonna be chaotic. People are simply 485 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: not going to buy electric cars. They won't. I mean, 486 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: everyone's going to drive their clunkers for twenty five years. 487 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 488 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 3: A six forty Yeah. 489 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: A mother is suing the Baldwin Park Unified School District 490 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 2: after she says a school security guard watched along with 491 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 2: other students while her daughter was violently beaten by another 492 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: girl in the school bathroom. This is Baldwin Park High School. 493 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: Joining us after three o'clock, her attorney, Brian Claypool returns 494 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 2: to the Johnny Ken Show with this story. So he'll 495 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: be listening right after three o'clock for his take on that. Well, 496 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 2: there's another one of these books out. It's a great name, 497 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: Controller GARCS Controller Garcs hit bookshelves yesterday and examines billionaires 498 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: like Bill Gates and how their wealth controls the levers 499 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: of power that dominate the everyday life of the average Americans. 500 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 2: The author is an investigative journalist by nam Seamus Bruner, 501 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 2: who did some findings that led to in congression investigations 502 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 2: into the Clinton and Biden families. Anyway, the one thing 503 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 2: that we're going to focus on here that's coming out 504 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 2: of the book is something I've noticed over the past 505 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: couple of years. Bill Gates has brought up a lot 506 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: of American farmland. Now, why would Bill Gates be buying 507 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 2: up American farmland? That doesn't seem like a sensible, futuristic 508 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: type investment for a guy who you know, made all 509 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 2: his money and a company like Microsoft. 510 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: So why is he well, he's. 511 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: Investing in synthetic dairy and lab grown meats, and it's 512 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: because he wants to save the planet John Cobelt from 513 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 2: meat eaters like you. So he wants to gobble up 514 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: all the land that would be used for cattle grazing. Yes, 515 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: instead turn it into synthetic dairy and lab grown meats. 516 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: So, oh, synthetic meats. I'm gonna have a synthetic burgers 517 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: because Bill Gates says, so, you know, they might be tasty. 518 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: I think we should be looking into how many trips 519 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: he took to visit Jeffrey Epstein. Wouldn't that be an 520 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: interesting investigation that would take them down if that turned 521 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: out to be something? Yeah, exactly what was the relationship there? 522 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it certainly got his wife upset. 523 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: So the way he writes it here, Bruner says, well, 524 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: it's an interview. First it was patented seeds and patented fertilizers, 525 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: but now they're patenting meat alternatives. Banning cattle would grant 526 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: effective monopolies till the alternative protein companies and benefits investors 527 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and even black Rock, 528 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: which you may. 529 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: Have heard of it's a gigantic investment company. 530 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, So fake meats are about controlling the 531 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: food market, not solving, not saving the plan. 532 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: What a what a horrible future? 533 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 2: Well yeah, fake meats, fake food. Yeah, and I know 534 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: they're trying to do lab grown meat, which is they 535 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 2: just used the cells. 536 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: I've been hearing about this crap for death. 537 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 2: The dairy of the meat cattle is the cells and 538 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 2: they create the meat that way. 539 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: They haven't invented anything that tastes good, nor have they 540 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: invented anything that scales so a company could make a profit. 541 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: And there's never a market for any of this stuff. 542 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: Now the fake burgers that were hot a few years ago, 543 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: those companies are dying. Now they're dying, right. 544 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 2: Gates has spent over a billion dollars on farm acquisitions, 545 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: a billion dollar. 546 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: He has to be stopped. 547 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: And now they think they'll probably go after the companies 548 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 2: like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Those are the ones 549 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,479 Speaker 2: because they've received more than two dozen patents for their 550 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: fake meat and fake dairy products and more than one 551 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: hundred patents pending. 552 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: That's great to have a patent for something that tastes terrible. 553 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: They yeah, that really faded away. 554 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 2: We've talked about that numerous times, and that became a 555 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: big deal for a while. Remember all the fast food 556 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 2: places were, oh oh, I know that pushing that stuff 557 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 2: and another one of these shops understand they're not selling 558 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 2: too many of them. 559 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: Life in this culture last few years has been one idiotic, 560 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: over hyped craze after another. It's just relentless, and it's 561 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: all about left wing woke scolding climate change nonsense right 562 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: from the electric car revolution, except there's no charging stations 563 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: at work to bad tasting fake burgers in order to 564 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: save the planet from calfarts. 565 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just These are great quotes from Bruner. 566 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 2: This is the author of the book. It should come 567 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: as no surprise that while the peasants are expected to 568 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 2: eat fermented fungi, lab grown meats and maggot milkshakes, the 569 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 2: controller garchs, with their private chefs, have no intention of 570 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 2: doing the same. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett famously love 571 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: eating beef burgers and steaks when Gates visits its mentor 572 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 2: in Omaha, and Mark Zuckerberg likes smoking beef brisket and 573 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: grilling pork ribs from real cows and takes and says 574 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: meat tastes doubly better when you hunt an animal for yourself. 575 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that woke up the vega. 576 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 4: Why was that? 577 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: I was quiet. 578 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 4: I was just letting you guys do your thing and 579 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 4: didn't want to interrupt. 580 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: But that, well, these phonies don't really mean it. Because 581 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: Bill Gates supposedly goes to McDonald's every day for lunch, and. 582 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 2: I've heard that he does enjoy a good stake. That's 583 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 2: what one of his association. 584 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: Isn't that like the phony climate change people like John 585 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: Kerry or Leonardo DiCaprio constantly scolding, constantly going to world summits. 586 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: DiCaprio makes stupid documentaries. It's all about us getting out 587 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: of our cars. But they fight private planes every day, 588 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: it seems every day, because they are more important to you. 589 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: They have places to be. That's what I'm saying. That's 590 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: what it is. It's about control and telling other people 591 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: what to do. One day, the world is going to 592 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: wake up and realize all these issues are phony. They're 593 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: just vehicles for these controller garchs to tell you what 594 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: to do, because you know what, once you've made a 595 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: lot of money. Us reading this the other day about 596 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: why do billionaires At a certain point they get involved 597 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: in like wacky things they you know, they start buying 598 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: newspapers or Gates is buying up col pasture land. And 599 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: what they wrote is they get bored, you know, sometimes 600 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: they run for office. It's like they've achieved any reasonable 601 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: goals that any normal person would have and after a while, 602 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: you're just repeating yourself. You're just piling up more money, 603 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: but you're not. You don't feel like there's a purpose anymore. 604 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: So now it's oh, can I control the world? Can 605 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: I tell everybody else what to do? Can I truly 606 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: be an emperor? Then that's what it is, all right. 607 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: We got more coming up. 608 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 2: Johnny Ken, KFI AM six forty live everywhere iHeart Radio app. 609 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: And Deborah Mark.
