Well, it would 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: be on the phone, but Michael Schellenberger's coming in person 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: on Wednesday. What time on Wednesday. I forgotten. I think 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: it's three three o'clock. All right, Yeah, he's coming in 41 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: person Schellenberger at Independent. He's running against Newsom and he's 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: got way more going for him than the Republican. Yes, 43 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: and if you want to get an idea of how 44 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: he thinks, read San Francico. It's a great book. Yeah. 45 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: And he's got a history of being you know, he's 46 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: sort of like he comes from progressive politics, but he's 47 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: now pragmatic about it, and he kind of is really 48 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: turned back on those people, especially on issues like the 49 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: environment and the homeless. Well, he found out a lot 50 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: of it doesn't work. And I really admire anybody who 51 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: leaves the reservation and says, you guys are up a tree. 52 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Your ideas don't work. We gave it a run, no good, 53 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: and that's where we need to go. Now. They had 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: their time and it didn't work. And now we're going 55 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: to do something rational. Within twenty seconds, use two old 56 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: time ones, leave the reservation and up a tree a tree. Yes, 57 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: you'll like that. Insurance company. Don't turn into your parents. 58 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: You haven't seen those commercials. No, I don't watch commercials. 59 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: There's a guy that takes a group of people out 60 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: on outings, and he continually chastised them. So not turning 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: into their parents because they're acting like old and worried 62 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: about everything. In Naggie, you know, like your parents are. 63 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: The ballots are going out this week. In fact, I 64 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: got my ballot tracks. Notice that mine's in the mail. 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: So again, California is permanent vote by mail. So if 66 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: that's how you want to vote, you can do it forever. Now. 67 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: You don't have to be a registered absentee voter. Otherwise, 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: like John and his parents, you can go and vote 69 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: in person. You have to vote properly. Yes, John believes 70 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: that's voting properly. My vote is lost in the digital abyss. 71 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: The digital abyss, well do not? John sure? Because he 72 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: stands are in front of the machine and mark certain candidates. Yeah, 73 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: I think. I think mail in balloting is rife with fraud. Yeah, 74 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a whole set up to 75 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: prove it. Trump. Oh, I just know human nature. I 76 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: would do it. If I was in charge of mail 77 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: in balloting, I had a political party, I would do 78 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: everything I can do to manipulate it. That's that's what 79 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: the bad guys do. That's why they're bad guys. Yeah, 80 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: so people already looking to us for a voter guide. 81 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the ballots aren't in people's hands yet, so 82 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: you know, don't get too anxious. You know, the mail 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: in ballot went out. I gotta I actually got a 84 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: text on Friday saying my mail in ballot was sent 85 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: to me. Maybe it's shown up today. I just said 86 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: that two minutes ago. Oh, I'm reiterating. It's called ballot tracks. 87 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: And I got an email saying that my ballot to 88 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: the mail. Okay, I'm just saying that I got one too. 89 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: I got a text this afternoon. Somebody's little prickly today. 90 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: Somebody attention. You're seizing on every little thing, but you're 91 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: just you're acting. My news is separate than your news. 92 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: You got your notification leave the reservation and repeating something 93 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: I said a minute ago. Is somebody that's in the 94 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: home or half a foot in the home, well, at 95 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: least I don't know how foot in the grave. I 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: don't know how much we can help you, is what 97 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. Because what we do best when 98 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: it comes to the voter guide is the ballot propositions. 99 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: There are none. Okay. I mean, we will certainly give 100 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: you guidance on the statewide offices, but there's a bunch 101 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: of judges on my ballot. You're not going to get 102 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: anything there, so don't ask for it. I cannot, we 103 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: cannot tell you how to vote on all these judges 104 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: of the Superior Court, which is about half my ballot. 105 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: So you know you're on your own as far as 106 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: everybody else. Don't vote for the incumbent, simple, don't vote 107 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: for three three quarters eighty percent of the time. It'll 108 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: be the right vote. That's a pretty good hit, right, 109 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: that's true. Don't vote for the incumbent the judges. You're 110 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: in La La County, maybe somewhere in the Inland Empire, 111 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: in a few places that listen, you might have a 112 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: good incumbent, but not likely if you're anywhere in our 113 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: close listening. Just to vote against all of them. What 114 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: a what a day for your people? Huh? Yeah? The 115 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: Russian ambassadors is victory day in Europe with World War two? 116 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: All right, freedom from the Nazis. So the Russian ambassador 117 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: to Poland, his name is Sergey andreeve. He went to 118 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: a Russian memorial burial site in warsaw and somebody, I 119 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: don't know more than one person really got him with 120 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: red paint that looks like blood all over him. They 121 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: brought balloons filled with red red paints and they popped 122 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: the balloons. So these Russian officials were standing there, very 123 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: solemnly dressed in their stiff suits, and a lot of 124 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: people were shouting at them, chanting against them. Oh yeah, 125 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: it was an angry crowd, and they were trying to 126 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: be stoic. They were trying to ashes. Apparently, what's fascist 127 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: in Polish? Do you know? Fushes? So they so then 128 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: a couple of people they popped balloons and they got 129 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: splattered and looked like blood. It looked like somebody had 130 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: shot deep red paint. He looks like he just got 131 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: shot or banged in the head. And he still stood 132 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: there stoically for a little bit. And there's some idiot 133 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: aid because this video keeps running over and over again 134 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: in the Washington Post. Who tries to douse him with 135 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: a with a handkerchief just pats a handkerchief over his head. 136 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: It's like a woman's hand. That's what a flunkeys spushed 137 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: to do. And he wasn't the only one dous looks 138 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: like a security behind him in some aid or maybe 139 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: they're both secured. Woman that really got it on the front. Yeah, 140 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: they didn't hit the what the balloons? From what I read, 141 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: they popped the balloons and some of the people at 142 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: the red paint on them were the protesters. Oh, that 143 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: would have to be the case, if that's how you're 144 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: gonna do it. Yeah, so it looked like they were 145 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: all bloodied up, and it's just at first, the lack 146 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: of reaction cracked me up. It's like a typical Russian. 147 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: They're just Russian official. They're standing there just daring. Yeah. Yeah, 148 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: but now where's boots, where's our nuclear reward? It's the noise, 149 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: like your dad you said? Um oh man, Well yeah, 150 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: well they're they're they're finding a formal protest. The Russians 151 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: are um and those who are responsible for the attack 152 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: they're calling admirers of neo Nazism. So be careful, ton 153 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: That's what they said about Ukraine before they invaded. It's 154 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: run by neo Nazis. We got to add the paint 155 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: dumping to our dump dumpster team. Yeah, because that's the 156 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: best thing I've seen since they threw that guy in 157 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: the dumpster in Ukraine is a paint balloon. You want 158 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: to hit whoever we're putting in the dumpster with a 159 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: paint balloon. Eric, if next dumpster around paint balloons too, 160 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: want to hear the big splat on them? No? All right, okay, okay, okay, 161 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: before before I close the dumpster, rat they Yeah, they 162 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 1: pop balloons on him. We hear the splat splatter of paint. 163 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: Got it. They're completely humiliated. So I go out to 164 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: the parking lot with paint balloons and record it when 165 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: you douse ray and then we'll have an actual paint 166 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: balloon noise. You could probably get like a roadkill sound effect, 167 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: which sounds similar. Yeah. The Russian embassy had to curtail 168 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: its plans that we're going to do a march to 169 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: mark this year's victory Day. Instead, they organized a reth 170 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: laying cemetery. At the cemetery this is in Poland, by 171 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: the way, so they knew this was not friendly territory. 172 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: Considering how much Poland's done to help Ukrainians flee that country, 173 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: they should chase all those Russian diplomats out. But there 174 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: were some pro Russian protesters in Poland that were clashing 175 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: with pro Ukrainians. So you know, even there there's admirers 176 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: and putin, admirers of death, admirers of womened children getting 177 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: getting murdered. And I thought about this this today. I mean, 178 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, I don't really know what's going on on 179 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: the ground and the war in Ukraine. But if it's 180 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: it must be going well for Ukraine. If like Jill, 181 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: Biden and Bono and all these people are visiting, right, 182 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: how bad could it be if now suddenly all these 183 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: national international figures are going there and feeling safe enough 184 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: to walk around with Zelenski or other Ukrainian officials. How 185 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: bad could it be? A Bono does like our concert? No. 186 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: I read one analyst story to piece saying, unquestionably, the 187 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: Russians are floundering now, right, so all we're waiting for 188 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: us to see if they step it up? Are they 189 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: withdraw right? But up that means a time or chemicals 190 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: of things they're they're they're they're not going to get 191 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: anywhere near what they wanted. So this either goes on 192 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: forever or are they pull out quietly or are they 193 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: dropped nukes on everyone? Those are your store number one, 194 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: two and three we got more coming up, John and 195 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: Ken Ki. Oh, look at that. Listeners just found us 196 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal. We just appeared this afternoon. 197 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: How does that sound. One of the opinion board members, 198 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: Alicia Finley, has written about Michael Schellenberger, who we just mentioned, 199 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: will be on the show in studio Wednesday at three. 200 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: The Democrat turned independent candidate for California governor thinks a 201 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: little common sense can go a long way in the 202 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: Golden State. Shellenberger is fifty years old. His political evolution, 203 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: she writes, resembles the cartoon recently tweeted by Elon Musk. 204 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: A stationary guy in the center field of the political 205 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: spectrum finds himself being pulled to the center right as 206 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,239 Speaker 1: his fellow liberals sprint the other way. A self described 207 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: eco modernist, what do you think of that term for 208 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: somebody's politics. I don't know what it means, but it 209 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: sounds cool. Yeah. Well, it says in California, conservative talk 210 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: radio can have a greater reach than TV advertisements. Mister 211 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: Shellenberger has been a frequent guest on popular radio programs 212 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: such as John and Ken, where he's oppined about the 213 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: state's homelessness, rising crime and the crazy climate politics. I 214 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: hope everybody listening takes a really serious look at him 215 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: because he's he's the real deal, and uh, you know, 216 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: weird things can happen if you just focus, read up 217 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: on him, read one of his books, listen to him. 218 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: He's going to be on our show on Wednesday at 219 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: three o'clock. And you know, the Republican in this state, 220 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: whoever the hell who's running, is dead in the water, 221 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: So might as well focus on somebody who's pretty smart, uh, 222 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: isn't going to automatically turn off much of the state 223 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: and has some fresh ideas and comes from a different background. Right. 224 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: You know, we need we need lots lots more of 225 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: these people, and it's good to encourage one of them. 226 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: And it's important because June seventh is a top two 227 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: election and you know, Shellenberger, it doesn't matter you can 228 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: get ninety percent of the votes, You're not going to 229 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: win the governorship on June seventh. That's the person that 230 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: fit finishes behind you, that meets you in November. We've 231 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: got to get Shellenberger to get more more votes than 232 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: whatever the Republican, uh sack of potatoes is. So you know, 233 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm definitely would like to see that happen. So you 234 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: listen on Wednesday. If you don't know who he is, 235 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: not familiar, Wednesday, three o'clock, we're gonna have him on 236 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: in the studio. You could imagine. I mean, the jaw 237 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: drop hit the floor. When I was looking through the 238 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: Sunday News, I ran across this headline in the Daily 239 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: News Southern California News Group their editorial pages, opinion we 240 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: must do more to help victims of crime, and I thought, well, 241 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, I glanced at it and said, well, that's 242 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: kind of the way a lot of people feel by 243 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 1: George Gascone. No, I said, it cannot be by George Gascone. 244 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: Let the propaganda begin, Let the campaign begin. You're right, 245 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: this is a counter to how well Man recall efforts 246 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: going in terms of the eclipsing four hundred thousand signatures. 247 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. Because he teamed up with 248 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: some woman that's with the Prosecutors Group, or Christine Soto DeBerry. 249 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: They co wrote this whatever. I'm sure some staff are 250 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: wroted for him. They are countless people in our community 251 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: who've experienced serious physical harm. Sometimes they want a prosecution 252 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: to occur. Sometimes they don't okay, sometimes that sounds like 253 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: gascone right. Sometimes they want a prosecutor to seek a 254 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: long sentence, and sometimes they just want an apology, an 255 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: admission of wrongdoing. Oh there it is John restorative justice. Yeah, 256 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: please just sit down and tell me why you stole 257 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: my fifty thousand dollars. Watch and we can maybe talk 258 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, and why'd you hit me over the 259 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: head about? Yeah, why'd you punch me? I hit my 260 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: head on the sidewalk. I almost bled out, why'd you 261 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: do that? Say you're sorry. Victims, they're not a moneid. 262 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: I know it is fifth grade. And then it goes 263 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: on about some need medical care, some need therapy, oh 264 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: my god. But then, unfortunately, most victims are not finding 265 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: the necessary support they need in our criminal justice system. 266 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: Let's remind everybody that one of George Gascon's directives is 267 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: that his prosecutors cannot show up at these parole hearings. 268 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: They're not supposed to go there to try to keep 269 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: the criminal that beat you or kicked you or robbed 270 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: you in jail or in prison. They're not allowed to go. 271 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: They can't make a case. That's not helping the victimism 272 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: or raped you or shot you. Yeah, we don't know 273 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: anybody we've covered in all our years and covering the 274 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: criminal justice system. That has been his upside down, this man, 275 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: and now he has the nerve to write an opinion 276 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: column about being on the side and helping victims more. 277 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: You know, one of the one of the one of 278 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: the cheapest weasel words in journalism, and a lot of 279 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: reporters do this is they use the word some and 280 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: you don't know if some means forty fifty percent or 281 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: two percent or five people. You don't know. They just 282 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: say some, and it's to give a fake balance to 283 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: the story, and it's to make it sound like, well, 284 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: this is complicated. You know, there isn't a consensus on this. 285 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: Everybody has different opinions. Trust me. Most victims want to 286 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: see the perpetrator put in jail as long as possible, 287 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: especially if they've been physically hurt or traumatized. They want 288 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: a full sentence. They want a full sentence, and usually 289 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: more than the full sentence, and they don't want anybody 290 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: else to be a victim like they were, So keep 291 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: this person out of society. It's really a simple formula, 292 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: and it worked really well when we had horrible crime 293 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties and they started to pass 294 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: the tough sentencing laws. That's a fact that can never 295 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: be undone by this crowd, who, you know, ten years later, 296 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: crowed about it in news conference. They after new record 297 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: low crime. Nobody's coming out anymore, nobody's walking out anymore 298 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: to have a news conference about record low crime levels. 299 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: Oh we're not back to where we were in the nineties, 300 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: but we're climbing there. You know what's crazy. Those tough 301 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: sentences is what reduced crime. And then every a whole 302 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: mayor and a police chief, sheriff's sheriff came out and 303 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: took credit for the sentencing changes. That's what forward crime. Well, 304 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: you know under my administration, my police force. No, it 305 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: wasn't your force. It wasn't your administration. The sentencing guidelines 306 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: put people away for a long time, and if you're inside, 307 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: you can't keep at crimes on the outside. Then the 308 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: same crowd changed the sentencing rules and suddenly we've got mayhem. 309 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: And none of them like to be criticized. All of 310 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: them downplay the statistics. All of them say, oh, it 311 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: was worse thirty years ago, Yes, before we cracked down 312 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: on sentencing where they actually wrote this in this George 313 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: Gascona editorial. If anyone is responsible for rising crime and 314 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: physical violence into our political leaders who've created the condition 315 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: in which it thrives, it is now our responsibility to 316 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: help those who suffered because of our negligence. He was 317 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: talking about. All the political leaders in California agree with 318 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: him this, he would say, because he said this several 319 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: times before. We failed this criminal because we didn't rehabilitate them. 320 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: We didn't have programs to make good. They have programs, 321 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: they don't work. That's why we brought up Smiley Martin 322 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: last week, the guy who's involved in the shooting up 323 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: Sacramento in the streets right he was, he went to 324 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: rehab programs, he came out started shooting people. Now, so 325 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: your programs don't work, you might says, don't work. There's 326 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: nothing else to say. Yeah, he got some sort of 327 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: good credit. We're gonna actually talk about that later in 328 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 1: the show. We've got a piece of audio from twenty 329 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: sixteen Jerry Brown pushing Proposition fifty seven and sean of 330 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: what John just mentioned. Smiley Martin benefited from Proposition fifty 331 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: seven because they have turbo charged the good time credits 332 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: to get these guys out of prison, whether they're violent 333 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: or non violent. Yeah, I mean that guy was beating 334 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: people up while still right, they're in jail. In prison, 335 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: he had a worse record in jail than he had 336 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: out of jail. And by the way, on the subject 337 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: of George Gascone, comedian Dave Chappelle is not happy that 338 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: his alleged armed attacker wasn't hit with a felony charge 339 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: after attacking him while holding that weapon on stage at 340 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: the Hollywood Bowl last week. Yeah, not a surprise. I 341 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: think most people can't believe it. That's a charge up 342 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: on stage with the blade attached to a little replica 343 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: gun and not be charged with a felony. Yeah, it 344 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: was a violent felony and he was armed, violent felony 345 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: with ten thousand people at the Hollywood Bowl saw it. 346 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: It was on It's on video, and George Gascon says, 347 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: no misdemeanor. He wouldn't even prosecute he gave it to that. Yeah, 348 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean he's now every entertainer 349 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: who appears in Los Angeles County, it's got to be 350 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: on alert because more people are gonna come flying out 351 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: of the crowd because there's no penalty for this. You're 352 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: gonna see whoever this said Jack Hall was who went 353 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: after Dave Chappelle. I bet you he doesn't even spend 354 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: a month in jail. This is the best thing that 355 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: happened to him, was the beating. I don't know how 356 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: many stories I saw over the weekend of people getting 357 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: robbed again of watches on the streets. Happened on us 358 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: the sunset Bulevard and West Hollywood over the no consequences. Yeah, 359 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: I think they stole somebody's watch, expensive watch again. If 360 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 1: there's no consequences, if they turn right around, or at 361 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: least these people goes we don't like bail, and we 362 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: certainly don't like jail, then what's the reason they wouldn't 363 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: do it again? All right, we got more coming up. 364 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: Johnny Kent cass I will be talking to Steve Gregory 365 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: after three o'clock. He's covering the story of apparently a 366 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: homeless woman set a man on fire. Remember that story 367 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: from last week, and it's part of the whole metro system. 368 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: I think it happened again at a bus stop or 369 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: at a bus. We'll bring on Steve with new details 370 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: on the situation, including the victim. Ahead on the John 371 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: and Ken Show, we had mentioned a couple of weeks ago. 372 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: I think it was that nobody wants to ride the 373 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: transit system in Seattle. They basically have an honor system. 374 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: They have sort of this light rail system along with buses, 375 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: and they were basically allowing people to just ride based 376 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: saying that they paid right, nobody was checking. The complaint 377 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: was that it was loaded up with homeless people. So 378 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: a worker it's called Sound Transit, that's their public light 379 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: rail system in Seattle, took a camera or his cell 380 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: phone and he walked along the cars of a train 381 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: to show all the homeless people sleeping inside the light 382 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: rail cars. It was actually stopped, I guess at a 383 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: stop thirty people. As he walks down from outside the 384 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: train and focuses his phone through the windows. And did 385 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: you watch the video, John, It's pretty pretty amusing. You know, 386 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: you can collection of people, Some are sprawled all the 387 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: way across all the seats, some of all their luggage 388 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: with them. I wouldn't say everybody definitely looks homeless, but 389 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: that probably eighty percent of them or they're homeless adjacent. 390 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: They're homeless adjacent, right, they're on their way, right. And 391 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: when this was pointed out to Sound Transit, a spokesperson said, 392 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: the severity the problem displayed in the video is particularly concerning, 393 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: but it's new information for us. And apparently everyone familiar 394 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: laughed and said, how can that big new information for us? 395 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: Because they're lying. That's why they just I'm looking at 396 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: it now. Yeah, it's it's I mean, it's zombie land, 397 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: is what it is. Those trains are terrifying to normal people. 398 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: Well that's why there's there's zero desire most people have 399 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: to ever take the doors open. And you see that 400 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: you're looking right away. And I have no interest in 401 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: that because every every one of them is either addicted 402 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: to drugs, are crazy, and a fair number of them 403 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: have weapons on them. Most of them have criminal records. 404 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: God knows what they've done in their lives. It's like 405 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: now that that's that's like a rolling prison is what 406 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: you have. They're a rolling mental institution. And and I 407 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: just hate these these spokes als and these officials like, well, 408 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: I mean you didn't know it, of course you did, 409 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: because it's like this every day and it's you could 410 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: do this in LA. In fact, I wish somebody would 411 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: every day. You could do this ten times a day 412 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: in LA. They take the zombie trains and the zombie buses. 413 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: We said here, we are aware that operators are frustrated 414 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 1: with these ongoing problems. While most riders during the day 415 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: are having a safe and reliable experience, problems are acute 416 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: at times of lower ridership and what supports staffing is lower, 417 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: such as early in the morning and later in the evening. 418 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Stop the trains, send the police in, throw them all out, 419 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: don't take Tell them they can't come back. Yeah, you can't, 420 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: you can't, you can't. You can't do that here. Sorry, 421 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: And you got to you gotta pack up your crack 422 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: pipe and your heroin needles, and you got to pick 423 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: up the feces left behind. I mean, that's just basic civilization. 424 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: That's never been debated for hundreds of years. That was 425 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: never a debate like this. This is so stupid. Send 426 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: the cops on the tra kick them off, prob them solved, 427 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: they come back on you kick them off again. Story 428 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: you mentioned last week was that the janitors at Union 429 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: Station in downtown Los Angeles were being harassed and in 430 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: some cases beaten by homeless people who are hanging out 431 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: in that place. I mean, I haven't really been there 432 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: but maybe but once in my life. But it's a 433 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: big train depot. The update over the weekend as well, 434 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: they're going to get better security. I think the last 435 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: time we talked about this, Janis Han was expressing sympathy 436 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: for the noble, hard working janitors in Union Station. Yeah, 437 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: it's more to improve their situation. This was a collision 438 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: on the woke hierarchy pyramid. Who gets more empathy from 439 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: a blockhead like Janis Han? Is it the immigrant janitors 440 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: or is it going to be the homeless crazy people. 441 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: That's a tough match, that is wow. Apparently it's like 442 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: the final four in the NC Double. A right of 443 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: pressure from local officials has led Los Angeles County Metropolitan 444 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: Transportation Agency to add security to Union Station. This will 445 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: include locking public bathrooms as janitors clean them and posting 446 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: a guard outside because apparently a lot of the assaults 447 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: happened in the restrooms. Who are the homeless of when 448 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: we're out of sight. So that's terrible. Yeah, oh that's 449 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: really good. How scary is that? Imagine that's your job. 450 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: You're working overnight. You're cleaning toilets, public toilets, no less, 451 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: and you got to deal with a crazy person beating 452 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: you up or you're sexually assaulting you. Now one janitor 453 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: was beaten with a mallet in the bathroom last year. 454 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: And we're homeless men and women often bathey're using drugs. 455 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: In fact, you know what I wish, I wish we 456 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: could sentence Janice Hahn and Hilde Salise and Shilacule and 457 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: the whole lot of them to spending one night as janitors. Here, 458 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: here's here's your here's your mop, here's your nightshift. Yeah, 459 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: you get the night shift tonight. You take it on. 460 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: See what it's like. Apparty and crime was up nine 461 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: from the same period last year. In Union Station, they'd 462 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: run out of their screaming in twenty minutes. Well at 463 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: least finally one time where all well lawwerehau the statistics 464 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: behind this, So we're gonna do more to protect people 465 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: from the crime. But here in statistics just it's it's 466 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: like the video of the Seattle train, just helping your 467 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: eyes and luck. Listen, listen to all the crazy people 468 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: screaming in the night Look at all the piles of 469 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: feces and the collection and needles. Just look, it's there 470 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: in front of you a numbers. Beginning today, Metro will 471 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: verify patrons have business at the station and kick out 472 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: anyone engaging in illegal activity. The entrances at the South 473 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: and North gardens where homeless people off and rest will 474 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: be closed. Oh and here's your favorite. Mental health teams 475 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 1: will deploy at the station in addition to beefed up beatles. 476 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: So he's sending out more outreach worker, right, what are 477 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: they gonna do. They're gonna offer some help, and the 478 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: crazy people are gonna say, no, leave me alone. Oh 479 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: look at this. They're gonna they're gonna give employees training 480 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: and the escalating tense and potentially potentially dangerous situations. So 481 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: now the janitors have to learn how to calm the 482 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: homeless person. Do you want that job? You want a 483 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: job where you get taught how to de escalate a 484 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: an insane drug addict? And yeah, I don't want that 485 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: Union station. In the morning. There's a lot of toilet 486 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: cleaning jobs. I don't have to do the one at 487 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: Union Station. I don't have to take the de escalation course. 488 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: That's what that's what. That's what a cops should do. 489 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: You get the cops, you get, you get, you signed 490 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: that deal with Viennuevas a Sheriff's department. That's what you 491 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: do when you're running a county. Good lord, stupid, you're 492 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: running a county transportation system. Get the county sheriffs to 493 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: be working those shifts, and they're the ones who throw 494 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: those people out. Look, there's a picture, what is it 495 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: a week or so ago, Kevin di Leone toward Union 496 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: station with one of the janitors who was attacked. The 497 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: dope running from mayor wants a photo opportunity. He's looking 498 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: for me. I'm doing something. I think it's part of 499 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: his trick to his council district. Oh, his district is 500 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: the worst. Yeah, he's got skid row, right, Yeah, skid 501 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: Row's worse than ever. The longer he's counseling in the 502 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: worst skid role. Again, he doesn't care. This is postures. 503 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: We got more coming up, big eagle bag, a big 504 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: fake Johnny Ken All right ahead, we'll be talking to 505 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: Steve Gregory about another attack concerning the Metro system of 506 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Apparently a homeless woman set somebody on fire. 507 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: We had mentioned that story, and there's more detailed that 508 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: has come out. Steve has gathered it. We'll join us 509 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: right up at three oh five. We'll also talk about 510 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: that terrible story out of the valley over the weekend 511 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: on Mother's Day where a woman and apparently her teenage 512 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: son killed the other children in the family. The first 513 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: thing I thought of when I said, oh, Noah, juveniles involved, 514 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: and it's La County and it's George Gascone. Oh, they'll 515 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: probably get a day in prison. Yeah, they'll get a 516 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: boulevard named after them, because he can't anybody under eighteen, 517 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: couldn't possible be fully in control of themselves. And if 518 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: they do anything horrible such as killing people, well we 519 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: must understand and release them from the criminal justice system 520 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: by age twenty five. By the way, you mentioned before 521 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: that there was another watch robbery. It was on Sunset 522 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: Boulevard twelve fifty two in the morning over the weekend. 523 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,959 Speaker 1: And the quirk in this story is four suspects, at 524 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: least four. They fled in a black Rolls Royce. Yeah. 525 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: When I heard the news cover that this morning, they 526 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: said it said their way now of trying through disguise 527 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: from security or police that they might be there for. 528 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: You know, you can you imagine robbery reason And only 529 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles do the thieves show up. And they 530 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: robbed at nineteen thousand dollars worth of watches from two people, 531 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: and they fled in a Rolls Royce. One was a 532 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: Rolex for eighteen grand and a Michael Corps at a thousand, 533 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: only a thousand. Probably didn't even tell time. Yeah, thousand, 534 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: it's not even worth that. You think they could track 535 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: the Rolls Royce? Right, nothing changes? All right, Well, there's 536 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: hope for Deborah Mark to get John Cobelt off of 537 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: eating red meat. Yeah, this is one wild story. Now 538 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: before we talk about it, I'll let you know it's 539 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: not that many cases, but it's getting attention because of 540 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: its unusualness. And it's called alpha gal syndrome. Alpha gal syndrome. 541 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: And the way that you can get John Cobelt off 542 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: of red meat is to get them bit by a 543 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: lone star tick. John, did you hear that I'm shaking? 544 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: I'm chase? Are more common in other parts of the US. 545 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: Says You're up to three percent of Americans may have 546 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: the condition. That's almost ten million people. Alpha gal syndrome 547 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: is an allergy to a sugar molecule found in red meats, 548 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: including beef, pork, and venison. It's been linked to bites 549 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: from the lone star tick, which has a little white spot. 550 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: It lives mostly in the East Coast in the South. 551 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: It's saliva contains this alpha gal syndrome. It's the same 552 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: molecule as in red meat. So when the immune system 553 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: attacks the molecule after the tick bite, it also then 554 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,239 Speaker 1: attacks ags from red meat, and you can have an 555 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: allergic reaction because it could include I'm sorry, you know, 556 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: because the body thinks it's another tick. Correct, it's responding 557 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: to the possible another tick bite, right, So if you 558 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: ingest your beefy steak, it may mistake that for another tick. Oh, John, 559 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: you don't want to take any chances. I wouldn't, no way. 560 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for your concern. It's very touching. Yeah, remember 561 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: how long it take them to diagnose lyme disease, Remember 562 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: lying disease. I think that the eighties or nineties when 563 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: that started to become like a big story, and that 564 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: was also back East, Yeah, disease from tick bite. I 565 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: imagine those kind of things were always around, but they 566 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: just didn't know what the problem was. They didn't write 567 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: it was too generic and they didn't have the specific 568 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: science or testing probably be able to determine that you 569 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: want to hear the symptoms. Yeah, look, look what you 570 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: might do to him down. I'm not going to worry 571 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: about this because, well, you're gonna put a tick in 572 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: his seat. Might. Yeah, that's right, you might. You're gonna 573 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: sneak in there and put a little tick in that chair, right, 574 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: I gotta tick in my seat. UMA's gonna go on there? 575 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: Oh oh, then he's gonna bite into a handburger. Well, 576 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: look at as you get to anaphylaxis, so your throat 577 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: closes up, stop breathing, chronic diarrhea. You don't want to 578 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: see those two words together. Vomiting or you break out 579 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: and hives. Some people are so allergic that even meat 580 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: fumes can trigger reactions. Meet few. I love the actually, yeah, 581 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: like the snort meat fumes on a Friday night. You 582 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: got a good steak cook at least I don't eat it, 583 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: but I smell It's it's nice. Uh yeah. Apparently some 584 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: people said they go into stores or restaurants and if 585 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: they have this condition. It gets triggered by the fumes 586 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: of the meat. Oh, come on, there's one woman in 587 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: this story. She can't go out to eat because there 588 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: could be meat fumes. She even had to quit her 589 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: job at a printing company because animal byproducts are used 590 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: in the ink that reaction. These weird immune system problems, yeah, disorders, 591 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: they usually seem to hit crazy people too. I always 592 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: I always questioned some of these, uh, some of these symptoms, 593 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: and people claim to have the one the people have 594 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: allergies sometimes if if you if you talk to them, 595 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: they're a little off to begin with. There are people 596 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: that what is it, sort of like Munchhausen. They do 597 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: want they of being unwell, hypocondius. Sometimes they're searching for 598 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: an illness there. Yeah, I mean they're they're kind of 599 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: really anxious to begin with and ne and they've always 600 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: got a lot of vague symptoms and they seem to 601 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: be susceptible to these oddball allergy immune system disorders that 602 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: doctors can't quite put a finger on, and they end 603 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: up going to the doctor for years and years and 604 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: nobody seems to know for sure. But it's just like 605 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: a personality type connected to that which makes me suspicious. 606 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: The story says, as a famous person with ags, it's 607 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: the writer John Grisham. He wrote all those books right 608 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: about remember the firm Tom Cruise movie and years ago. 609 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: That was John John Grisham. I think he still writes books. 610 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: He said that he himself caught it after a tick 611 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: bite and he no longer eats meat. Just could be 612 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: a revolution, Deborah Mark. If you guys unleashed this everywhere, 613 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,919 Speaker 1: you could eliminate meat eating and the country. Yeah, well 614 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: you would you and you're a fellow activists. Oh those 615 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: women that kept running out to the basketball, I guess 616 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: it does. I guess it's not chicken though. Well we'll 617 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: get We're going to get to that. We're active. This 618 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: one ticks in order to give people meat allergies, because 619 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: I think that's the way the country is headed in general. 620 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: I think you should rethink your meat consumption. Not until 621 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: I get the tick. Oh, then it's too late, and 622 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: it's beyond meat. It says here. Other food stuffs using 623 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: animal products, including cow's milk, I could also trigger the 624 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: reaction if you had the tick pipe. I have a 625 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: good alternative, oat milk. It's really great milk. Every time 626 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: the coffee. I mean you moved on from almond milk. 627 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: I did move on from almond milk to oat milk. 628 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: I told you I was going to do that. I 629 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: am the milk anymore. There is no milk in almonds 630 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: or oats. It's just called oat milk. But it's not 631 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: like milk, and you know it just the same thing. Okay, 632 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: it's an oat milk creamer. I guess I should say 633 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: that I have in my coffee, but I also have 634 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: oat milk. It's funny. These products are so hideous they 635 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: have to steal the name of the real hideous. You 636 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: just haven't tried them. You're so unenlightened. I am. I'm 637 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,879 Speaker 1: gonna remain unenlightened, so then you'll get that disease. Next 638 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: thing we're gonna have is avocado meat. I'm gonna find me. 639 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna find an avocado tick. Here's gotta be one. 640 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: We've got Steve Gregory coming on next. About that horrific 641 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: attack by a homeless woman setting a man on fire. 642 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,240 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show, Deborah Mark has the news KF 643 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: I am six forty.
