It's too hard to I have 20 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: an interesting question Ericsflard. Do you didn't need vegetables at all? Yeah? 21 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: I grew up eating salad every night. My parents would 22 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: make salad before dinner. The Yeah, I got no problem 23 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: with vegetables. Okay, so you have vegetables and meat, yes, Okay, 24 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: you probably have not bounced died. Okay. I didn't know 25 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: because John has such an aversion to vegetables, and you 26 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: tend to line up with him, so I thought I 27 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: line up with him on the meat stuff. But I'm 28 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: okay with vegetables. All right. It's good to know. Everybody 29 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: stay healthy on the show without John here. John has 30 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: got some time off coming up a lot of good 31 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: stories in one hour. The former LA County sheriff and 32 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: it's too bad, former alex Vianawaeve will be my guest. 33 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: He is going to take a shot and run for 34 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: the LA County Board Supervisors the Janis Hans seat, which 35 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: happens to be my district. So that's an early vote 36 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: for me for Sheriff van Aweva in the primary next year. 37 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: Newsom's in the news. This is great. He's announced two 38 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty seven million, one hundred and eighteen two 39 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety three dollars for something. Yeah you heard 40 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 2: that right, over two hundred and sixty seven million dollars. 41 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: Find out what it is. Also find out where he's going. 42 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: But we begin the hour by bringing Blake Trolley back 43 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: to the John and Ken Show. Last Thursday, there was 44 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: an awful stabbing on a Metro train. It's a b 45 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: or Line train in downtown Los Angeles. And he's been 46 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: covering the story since it began, and there's an update 47 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: on the whole ordeal now, So Blake, how are. 48 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: You hey, Ken? Yeah, this story is really starting to evolve. 49 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: DA gascon today announced that Randy Nash has been charged 50 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: with murder. The DA's press release on this murder charge 51 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: really has painted the clearest picture as to what happened, 52 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: and now this is really starting to appear to be 53 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: a random attack. The DA's office says Randy Nash followed 54 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: the man he killed onto the train at Union Station 55 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: and sat two rows behind him. Prosecutors stay. As the 56 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: train approached the Pershing Square station, Nash got up, pulled 57 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: out a hunting Knight and stabbed the guy in the chest. 58 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: The guy came stumbling off the train. Police saw the 59 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: guy walking off the train holding his chest. He was 60 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: bleeding profusely. According to prosecutors, all of this was caught 61 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: on video. He was taken to a hospital where he died. Now, 62 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: on top of the actual attack, we're also starting to 63 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: figure out how Nash was caught by police. Police had 64 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: posted a photo of Nash, who was last seen fleeing 65 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: the train station. He was taking those stairs from the 66 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: platform into downtown LA at Pershing Square. 67 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 2: Well. 68 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: His family members actually saw the photos of him and 69 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: told police where he was. Police went and arrested Nash 70 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: in South LA at a family member's home. Nash has 71 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty, and as of this afternoon, he's being 72 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: held on a two million dollar bail. So again, a 73 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: real clear picture there as to what exactly happened. As 74 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, Ken, I've been really working to figure out 75 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: if there was an officer on the train when this happened, 76 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: and that is still an answer. I have not gotten 77 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: an answer on. Of course, we know there were officers 78 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: on the platform, but the train itself that remains a mystery. 79 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it says to Los Angeles Transit Services Division police 80 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: officers saw Rodriguez holding his chest. I guess as he 81 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: got off the train, the train came to a stop, 82 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: But we don't know if anybody was nearby, And what 83 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: did we know about Randy Nash in terms of his 84 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: criminal background, And clearly, if this was a random stabbing, 85 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: this is just a mentally ill person. Do we know anything. 86 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: I am still trying to figure out get more information 87 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: on Randy Nash. I have yet to see anything surface 88 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: about him, about his criminal history. You know, he's thirty 89 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: one years old and he commits this random attack, so 90 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: it definitely poses a lot of questions. And also his 91 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: living situation I'm now kind of starting to question. You know, 92 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: they say that his family identified him and that police 93 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: arrested him at a family member soon. Was he living 94 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: with a family member? Did he have his own home? 95 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: You know, these are all things that we're working to 96 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of as we hear about now 97 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: this attack that's starting to seem pretty random as we 98 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: get these details. 99 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you made a good point. You wonder if 100 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: this is just another transient who spent a lot of 101 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 2: time on the trains and then had an episode and 102 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: saw Rodriguez and just decided that, you know, he was 103 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: being compelled to do this, to stab the man in 104 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: the back, Because it's very bizarre and it shows you 105 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 2: that if that's true, and we don't know why, that 106 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: he's a transient, but obviously he's got big problems. These 107 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: trains are just not safe. It says here it was 108 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: a large hunting knife. 109 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, he used a large hunting knife and ken as 110 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: you were talking about when it comes to transience, you know, 111 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: just a visual survey of the Pershing Square station the 112 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: other day. The first thing I noticed was a lot 113 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: of homeless people, some just completely strung out. And when 114 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: I talked to one guy, one of the sound bites 115 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: that you and I haven't gone to but I aired 116 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: on another show was a guy saying that he's noticed 117 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: just in general between the train system between downtown LA. 118 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: He said, look, you know, I've been coming down here 119 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: a long time and police have really it seems like 120 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: they're pretty hands off. And he's saying he thinks this 121 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: is contributing to these attacks. You know, this looseness, this 122 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: kind of loose nature he's saying, ultimately ends up leading 123 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: to things getting out of hands. So you know that 124 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: sentiment mixed with the sentiment of a riter said she's 125 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: seeing And I'm sure you remember we spoke to the 126 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: one passenger who said, less than half the time she's 127 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: on the train, she's noticing security actually on the train. 128 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: And when you think about this hub, this is a 129 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: major hub right from Union Station into Pershing Square, This 130 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: presumably is where a lot of people go to their 131 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: office jobs. Pershing Square Station really takes you into the 132 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: core of downtown LA's business district, and it takes you 133 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: there from Union Station, which is kind of the head 134 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: of the octopus. So people come in from their suburbs 135 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: and then from there they head in downtown LA. So 136 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: I'd also be curious to know more about the man 137 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: who was killed here and where he was heading. Was 138 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: he going home from I guess you wouldn't maybe be 139 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: going home from work. But nonetheless, you know, this happened 140 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: at five pm when there was a lot of riders 141 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: on and that's another, you know, a whole other aspect 142 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: of this. As writers say, well, I usually feel pretty 143 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: safe because I take the train when a lot of 144 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: people take the train. Well, fivepms when a lot of 145 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: people take the train. 146 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: So this is apparently a statement from the district Attorney 147 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: George Gascone. He is going to charge some kind of 148 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: enhancement over this use of the knife. 149 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, the use of the hunting knife. So that has 150 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: been added in. I think this is something that prosecutors 151 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: are taking very seriously. 152 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: All Right, Blake, thank you very much for that update. 153 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Ken, right Blake Trolly KFI News on 154 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: the stabbing on the Metro train last Thursday in downtown 155 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: La Yeah, Gascone statements, this is a heartbreaking loss that 156 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: affects us all. As many Angelinos utilize public transportation daily, 157 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: should not have to live in fear that they'll be 158 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: randomly attacked during their commute. My office will do everything 159 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: possible to ensure justice is served from mister Rodriguez and 160 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: his family. The murder charge does include an allegation that 161 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: he did use a hunting knife in the commission of 162 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: the crime. So again, the update is, it looks like 163 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: it was a random stabbing. These two men did not 164 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: know each other, but Nash just picked out mister Rodriguez 165 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: and decided to at the right time. He picked to 166 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: stab him in the back. On the plane train stop, 167 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: they both got off and one collapse and eventually died 168 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: and the other one ran off to family members. And 169 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: we don't know if it's a transient. They're holding them 170 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: on two million dollars bail. But good luck. They got 171 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: less than five years to try to make the metro 172 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: system safer for the Olympics, because they're going to be 173 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: pushing that big time, everybody's gonna be freaking out over 174 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: the traffic again in twenty twenty eight when the Olympics 175 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: come to Los Angeles like they did in nineteen eighty four. 176 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 2: That turned out to be nothing because a lot of 177 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: people left, which will probably happen again. But they've been 178 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: touting this metro system as a way to get spectators 179 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: and participants to all of the locations. Stories like that 180 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: are going to make that ugly all right. More coming 181 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: up Johnny Ken KFI AM six forty were alive everywhere 182 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. 183 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 184 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 185 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 2: We're into talking about Mayor Spanky after the News at 186 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: two thirty. That's the mayor of Burbank who apparently, in 187 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 2: a video went to a fundraiser and got paddled by 188 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: a drag queen. But there's something more disturbing about this man, 189 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: who I thinks he's a rising star in California politics. 190 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: He is so brazen. He did an interview with Fox 191 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: News Digital where he basically admitted that he's an all 192 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: out Marxist. We'll play you some of that audio about 193 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: Constantine Anthony after the News Burbank. This is where the 194 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 2: station is and has been for almost twenty years. From 195 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: the world of theft. A couple of stories today, and 196 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: it gets more bizarre. There's a woman that's been arrested. 197 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 2: According to Buyna Park Police, she set a fire at 198 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 2: a Target store so it could be a distraction, so 199 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 2: she could steal baby formula. What the hell it caused? 200 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: What was it? A million? Yeah, one and a half 201 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: million dollars in damage to the store, including a million 202 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: and mostly smoke and water damage to retail products. And 203 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: I can see the other side in the criminal justice 204 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 2: back and forth, and there's too many of these people 205 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: in California saying, well, you see how desperate she was 206 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: baby formula. It has been shortages, it's expensive, it's so difficult. 207 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: This is all she could think of to do was 208 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: set a fire so everybody to be distracted. She could 209 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: run with the baby formula out the door. Forty years old, 210 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: not a child either. So that is weird on the 211 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: subject of crime. And we all know what the problem 212 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: is with a lot of it. It's Proposition forty seven. 213 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 2: Back in twenty fourteen, we argued long and hard for 214 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: you not to vote for it. I'm sure ninety percent 215 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: of our listeners didn't. Proposition forty seven, the Safe Neighborhoods 216 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: and Schools Act, was designed to reduce certain crimes to misdemeanors, 217 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: among them some drug crimes, and of course, most famously 218 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: or infamously theft. Anything with the nine hundred and fifty 219 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: dollars or less is considered just a citation. We've been 220 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: with this scourge now for going on nearly nine years, 221 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: and in the last several years, it's got to be 222 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: a part of the escalation of smash and grab robberies. Apparently, 223 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 2: in Sacramento, a state senator, unfortunately a Republican named Jenet Wynn, 224 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: introduced an amendment to Prop forty seven would have elevated 225 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: the charge for serial thieves with three or more prior 226 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: theft related convictions, turning a fourth conviction into a felony offense. 227 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: That seems mild, that would have went with like the 228 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 2: first conviction. But anyway, that's what she tried to do, 229 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 2: and it failed. It was rejected by the Democrats in Sacramento. Meanwhile, 230 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: the U Dufus in charge of the state has issued 231 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: a press release and this tells you you know where 232 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: the two sides go. One side said, you want to 233 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: keep the state safer, you imprison people, you punish them 234 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 2: for the crime. The other side now doesn't like incarceration. 235 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: We need alternatives. Right, everybody he deserves a second chance. 236 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 2: In fact, everybody there was his first chance. You don't 237 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: even got to go to prison for a lot of crimes. 238 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 4: Now. 239 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: So Newsom's response and a huge press release that came 240 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: out yesterday that he's going to spend two hundred and 241 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: sixty seven million, one hundred and eighteen thousand, two hundred 242 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 2: and ninety three dollars very precise to combat organized retail crime. Now, 243 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: the keyword in there is organized because clowns like this. 244 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: It's a part of the problem, but it works on 245 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: all ends. Is the organized factor we want to go after, 246 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: you know, the big guys at the head of these 247 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: chains where the thieves take their stuff to them to 248 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: be fenced and they're given some money. Right as somebody 249 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 2: comes running back from Target. We kind of ran into 250 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: this story a couple of weeks ago in downtown LA. 251 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: They were apparently using a store to resell stolen merchandise. 252 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: They got a lot of target stuff under and stuff 253 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 2: like that. From the clothing section. These would be the 254 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: organized retail theft guys because they collect all the stolen 255 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: goods from the thieves and then they sell them either 256 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: online or in a little quick pop up store like that, 257 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: and they make their money. So, I mean, this is 258 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: an amazing amount of money. So you might wonder, what 259 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: do you do with two on of sixty seven million dollars. Well, 260 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 2: it says it has to be approved by the Board 261 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: of State and Community Corrections. Fifty five local law enforcement 262 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 2: agencies across California will get this money. Police departments, sheriff's departments, 263 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: district attorney offices to prevent and investigate cases of organized 264 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: retail theft and arrest and prosecute more suspects. Really, I 265 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: thought Newsom is the one that told us we already 266 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 2: have the tools to tackle this problem. The laws are 267 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: already on the books to arrest people. The das. He 268 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: said this last year. I think the das aren't doing 269 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: their job. The prosecutors have to be more. No, apparently 270 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: they're not thanks to Prop. Forty seven, And as we'll 271 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: talk about later on the show, with this no bail idea, 272 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: everybody is just turned right around back into the Street, 273 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 2: and they go back doing what they're doing. Enough with 274 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: these brazen smash and crabs, said Newsom. With an unprecedented 275 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty seven million dollar investment, Californians will 276 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 2: soon see more takedowns, more police, more arrests, and more 277 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: felt any prosecutions. Did he say this about the homeless 278 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: problem too when he was gearing up to spend billions 279 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: of dollars? Did that really work out? So this is 280 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: the way politicians like this address a lot of problems. 281 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: Throw money at it. And we also find that the 282 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: money just by the time it filters down, it's grabbed 283 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: by bureaucrats left and right. There's not a lot left 284 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: to make a difference. And I don't think it's so 285 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: much that the departments don't have money to arrest and 286 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: prosecute people. They're being told not to. And Prop forty 287 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: seven is one of the big evils behind all this. 288 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: We'll be talking about the criminal justice system after three o'clock. 289 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: My guest will be the former La County Sheriff, Alex Vannaweva, 290 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 2: who's decided to make a run for the LA County 291 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: Board of Supervisors. Big news. He wants Janie Han's seat. 292 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 2: Don't be Janis Hahn all right. Coming up next, I'll 293 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: talk about the bizarre story surrounding the mayor of Burbank, 294 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: who's now being known as Mayor Spanky. John and Ken 295 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 296 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 297 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 298 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: John is a couple of days off. I'm here with 299 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: Debora Marre giving the update on the news. Coming up 300 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 2: after three o'clock, I'll be talking to and it's too bad, 301 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: the former La County Sheriff Alex Vianoeva. But he's in 302 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: the news because he's decided to run for La County Supervisor. 303 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: He wants the Janis Han seat, and clearly there are 304 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: a lot of issues he can run on, and it'll 305 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: be another test as to whether or not the people 306 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: are fed up with the way the criminal justice system 307 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 2: has crumbled in the county. The board of Supervisors, the 308 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: district attorney all a big part of that. So we'll 309 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: talk about all these things in about thirty minutes here 310 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: on the John and Ken Show. Well, the radio station 311 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: KFI has been in Burbank for almost twenty years, but 312 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: we don't really talk much about local politics. In fact, 313 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have even have known the name of the 314 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: Burbank mayor. It appears to be one of those situations 315 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: where they rotate council members. Who's got the title of mayor. 316 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: The person right now is Constantine Anthony. I saw that name. 317 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: I'm like you sure it's not Anthony Constantine. No, his 318 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: first name is Constantine, his last name is Anthony. And 319 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: well an outfit called the Libs of TikTok, and these 320 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: are people that like to put out videos that point 321 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: out the problems with the quote liberals. The footage of 322 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: what I'm about to tell you was apparently viewed, it 323 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: says more than seven point six million times because apparently 324 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: he appeared at a Santa Clarita Valley Democrats Drag Queen 325 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: bingo event, and in the video he gets paddled by 326 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: one of the performers known as Foxy roxy Wood, who 327 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: comes up behind him. He's kind of leaning over to 328 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: table talking to some people during the bingo thing, and 329 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: she gives him a couple of playful pats with the paddle. 330 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: Constantine is a newlywed dad whose online bios starts with 331 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 2: his pronouns and the fact that he's autistic. Anyway, there's 332 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: been back and forth between people with the libs of 333 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 2: TikTok and Constantine Anthony because the claim was, well, you know, 334 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: it's an adult thing and people are consenting, and so 335 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: what he gets paddled it's something he's doing as a fundraiser. 336 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: But there were children there. Anthony said, no, there were 337 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 2: no children. It was a private twenty one plus event. Well, 338 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: then the response was, how come there was an advertisement 339 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 2: drag Queen Bingo attendees fifteen years and up. But the 340 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 2: response again, there was nobody there who was fifteen years old. 341 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 2: Everybody was over twenty one. Then allegedly there was a 342 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: photo of a child who appeared to be certainly around 343 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 2: well under twenty one at the event, and the response 344 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 2: was that was from event that was held hours earlier. 345 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 2: This is the world we live in today. The gotcha, 346 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: the response, the double gotcha, I got you back. Honestly, 347 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: just trying to ferret through this stuff. Anyway. He is 348 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 2: a married man. He married his longtime girlfriend, actress Margot Rauder. 349 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 2: They have a young son. He was an improv comedian 350 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 2: and an actor for twenty years before going into local politics. 351 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 2: He won a seat on the council. In twenty twenty, 352 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 2: he was elected mayor. Two years later, it says he 353 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: was elected mayor. I could be wrong about the rotation 354 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: of the positions on the council, but I'll look more 355 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: into that. What really should matter to you listening to 356 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 2: this story, because it is really kind of silly. Is 357 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: this about con Eystantine Anthony. And we got this from 358 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: Fox News Digital. They did an interview with him, and 359 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 2: I've been talking a lot today about the crumbling of 360 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 2: the criminal justice system. If this guy advances his political career, 361 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 2: it's just another George Gascone. Only this guy thinks he's 362 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: quite the performer, and since he was an actor, he 363 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: probably has more pep and enthusiasm and charisma than somebody 364 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: like George Gascone. So I think he pictures himself going 365 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: on to bigger things. So let's listen to part of 366 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: the interview with Burbank Mayor Constantine Anthony about his ideology 367 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: and the criminal justice system. 368 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 4: Here we go complete transformative change in our society to 369 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 4: move to a police less state, meaning the fundamental understanding 370 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 4: of how we convict, catch, chase crime and criminology and 371 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 4: treat people in jails and prisons and all of that 372 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: is flawed. Other countries do what's called restorative justice. Most 373 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 4: other countries have a prison population, you know, a percentage 374 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 4: of what we have. We're talking like five or ten 375 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 4: percent what the United States has. These are developed countries, 376 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 4: places that are wealthy, that have you know, industrialized workers 377 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 4: and know what they're doing in full fledged democracies and 378 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 4: all of that stuff. They have moved past a carceral state. 379 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 4: We are still living in sort of a quasi you know, 380 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: twentieth century ideology of you do something bad, you got 381 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: to get punished, yeated. That works when you're five. Right, 382 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 4: we're talking about human beings on a massive scale. 383 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 2: What are we talking about. 384 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 4: We have to get people back into society. We have 385 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 4: to get people to understand that they are an active 386 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 4: and productive member of a larger group. So, as an abolitionist, 387 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 4: my policies resonate with the average man. Nobody wants to 388 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 4: go to jail. Nobody wants to have rampant crime. Nobody 389 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 4: wants to see people stuck in prison for the rest 390 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 4: of their lives and not have an opportunity to. 391 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: Grow and learn. 392 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 4: So how do we fundamentally change that death? And for me, 393 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 4: it starts with those early services. We help kids when 394 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 4: they're young, we help single parents, we help h families 395 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 4: in poverty, we have to be health crises, people with 396 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 4: drug addiction. If we spend the money at that point 397 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: early on, we have actually saves us millions, spent trillions. 398 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 4: I like to call myself social welfare and services. I 399 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: look ahead for the future. There is a path that 400 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 4: we're headed towards, and I think all of us collectively 401 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 4: kind of know where that's going. I ask people this 402 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 4: all the time. I say, hey, do you work for 403 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 4: somebody or are you your own boss? And most people say, well, yes, 404 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: I work for somebody, but someday I want to be 405 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 4: my own boss. And I'm like, cool. You know who 406 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 4: wanted everyone to be their own boss? And so most 407 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 4: people don't understand that the American dream that they're chasing 408 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 4: is something that democratic socialists have been fighting for for 409 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 4: a hundred years. We want you to be your own boss. 410 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 4: Now you could be collectively your own boss. If you 411 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,719 Speaker 4: look at the average makeup of a co op in 412 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 4: this country, it's you know, a group of employees who 413 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 4: all own the company together, and they're all their own bosses, 414 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 4: their partners. 415 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: Everybody's paid the same. 416 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 4: Everybody is some of the most successful industries in this country. 417 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 4: Salary right, it's partners, they all work together, are all 418 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: co owners. 419 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, but the rest of the people are. 420 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 4: So when we think about Marxism as an ironology and we. 421 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 6: Remove it from its German roots and we talk about 422 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 6: American socialism, it has a very different tone. 423 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 4: I mean, we're talking about Upton Sinclair, We're talking about 424 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 4: Fred Hampton. We're talking about people who wrote about American 425 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 4: issues and talked about the American worker. Bernie Sanders is 426 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: one of the most popular politicians in the country with 427 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 4: both Conservatives. 428 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: And rejected people rejected Bernie. He was for president several times. 429 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: There's a off the stage that's Constantine Anthony, who really 430 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 2: thinks that he's this really smart, hip, charismatic guy, and 431 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: he's going to give you all the examples of why 432 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: his socialist, communist, democratic socialist future is where America should go. 433 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 2: We can all be our own boss, work in an 434 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 2: office in a co op, We're all paid exactly the same, 435 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: nobody's better than anybody else. It absolutely SAPs what makes 436 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 2: America great, which is the drive and the personal responsibility 437 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: to make your life the best it can be. Instead, 438 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 2: this guy wants you to be just another dullard at 439 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: a desk or working at a restaurant with the rest. 440 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 2: We all own this place. We're all going to get 441 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: the same salaries and pay. It doesn't work that way. 442 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: People love the idea of being innovative. They do like 443 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 2: the idea of becoming very wealthy, and why not. They 444 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: work hard, and they educate themselves and they come up 445 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,479 Speaker 2: with brilliant ideas. They should be rewarded for that. He 446 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: wants to strip all that out start over, so we're 447 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: all completely equal and of course the finishing touch. No prisons, 448 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: no police. I don't know what happens if somebody gets 449 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: stabbed when there's a dispute. And is a wonderful workplace 450 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: that he mentions, But you know, nobody wants to see 451 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: anybody incarcerated, that's what he said. Certainly wants to see 452 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: nobody incarcerated for a long time. Really, all right, more 453 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 2: coming up Johnny Ken Show k I AM six forty 454 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 2: Live Everywhere Heart Radio app. 455 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 456 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 457 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 2: For La County Sheriff. Alex Vieno Wave is my guest 458 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 2: after three o'clock the big announcement. He's running for an 459 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: La County Board of Supervisor's seat, the one occupied by 460 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 2: Dopey Janis Han. We'll get into all the reasons for that. 461 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: You can probably guess a lot of it has to 462 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: do with the criminal justice system. This is a board 463 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: that does basically the same thing as the man I 464 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: just talked about, the Burbank mayor, Constantine Anthony. They want 465 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 2: to close all the prisons, end incarceration. We're a carceral 466 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: state and we need to end that. But all these 467 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 2: people roam free amongst us. They'll behave It's just that simple. 468 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 2: I've forgotten to mention that the demand that reminds me 469 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: of a Constantine Anthony. Gavin Newsom, he's going to China 470 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: because he's going to negotiate and talk about climate change there. Yeah, 471 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: he's a big player. I'm sure that the President will 472 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: receive him and the rest of the Communist Chinese party 473 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: leaders will receive him and say, you're right, we do 474 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: use too much fossil fuels and climate change is disastrous 475 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: for the world. So thank you for coming here and 476 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: reminding us of that. Where do we sign to reduce 477 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 2: these emissions? What a dope? Jerry Brown did this in 478 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. Newson wants to continue to make waves as 479 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: he heads towards running for president either next year. I 480 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: still think that's possible that Joe Biden every day is 481 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 2: like going to be and I think more than his 482 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: health and his age, I just don't think he wants 483 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: to do this for four more years. I really think 484 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 2: that's what's going on, and that's what we're probably going 485 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 2: to find out in the coming months. That is, his 486 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 2: heart isn't any He got his term and people tell 487 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 2: him he did well. Yeah, bidenmics arow winner to the 488 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 2: latest inflation report. Anyway, Oh, I was just talking about 489 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 2: this mayor of Burbank Constantine, anpony who basically wants to 490 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: end the police and the prisons. Did I tell you, 491 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 2: Deborah Mark? Of course I did not that. I've had 492 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: the police visit me twice in the last two week. 493 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 3: No, what did you do? Did they handcuff you? 494 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: I was a fugitive? Oh no, I'm in solitary home confinement. 495 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 2: Now I'm wearing an ankle bracelet. No, you know what 496 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 2: it was. And I've realized this, I might be the 497 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: only one in my corner of the neighborhood that has 498 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 2: the ring doorbell cameras. Oh yeah, so they sometimes come 499 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 2: looking for footage. Now that was the case with the 500 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 2: first visit. Although I wasn't home when he rang the doorbell, 501 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: he did leave a message and it was actually pretty funny. 502 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: Do you have alexa that answers your I do, And 503 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 2: it starts asking questions would you like to leave a message? 504 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 2: So he says, first he says he's police, and then 505 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: would you like to leave a message? And he says, yeah, 506 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: I'd like to look at possibly some ring camera footage. 507 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. So he tries again, 508 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I could not understand that. He goes ay ay, 509 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 2: and he walked away. But I got the gist of 510 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: it from the whole recording, and that story wasn't crime. 511 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 2: Really should I tell this story? 512 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 3: Yeah? 513 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: You want to hear this? I do, Okay. One of 514 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 2: my neighbors, who shan't be named, as a fifteen and 515 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 2: a half year old son. They're very nice families, just 516 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 2: she and her son, right, So they live right across me, 517 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 2: sort of at an angle, but my camera can pick 518 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: up the cars parked out front, and they're going to 519 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: go somewhere. And from what I understand, he announced that 520 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 2: he would like to get behind the wheel and shift 521 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: the car into reverse. So she opens the car door. 522 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 2: She's on the driver's side, standing next to him as 523 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: he gets into the seat, and there's a bit of 524 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 2: a hill for the driveway, but apparently he hit the 525 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: gas instead and knocked her flat. 526 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 3: Oh are you kidding now? 527 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 2: The door hit her, I think, and knocked her onto 528 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 2: the street. And by the time I picked up the footage, 529 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: some of it wasn't clear because there's certain things you 530 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 2: can't Yeah, she's right, she's holding her head. And they 531 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 2: did call some medics, and he apparently was so just 532 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: throught he ran into the house. It wouldn't come out. 533 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 3: Oh my god. I don't blame him. Oh that's awful. 534 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 2: It was just, you know, a chance for your fifteen 535 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 2: sixteen year old boys, you know, they get near that 536 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 2: driving age. Sure, he just wanted to try, and I 537 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 2: guess it didn't go too well. The second visit from police, 538 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 2: I was actually in the house, but I thought it 539 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: was just a delivery. You know, they ring the doorbell 540 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 2: when they leave you, like an Amazon package. So I 541 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: could have looked at my phone to see who it was, 542 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 2: but I didn't feel like the phone was the other 543 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 2: side of the room, so I didn't answer it. He didn't 544 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: leave a message either, so I don't know if the 545 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: second visit was about that incident or some other thing 546 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 2: in the neighborhood that happened. I don't know he did. 547 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 3: Is there something that you're doing that you're not telling 548 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 3: us that you're in trouble with the lie? 549 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: No, I think it's because they want to see my footage. 550 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 2: Maybe something happened and they want to see if they 551 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 2: can collect any I told you two years ago. I 552 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: think it was I had some footage of the catalytic 553 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: converter thieves that were on my street. 554 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 3: And you're you're the only one that has a ring 555 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 3: camera in your neighborhood. 556 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 2: I don't know funny you say that, because one year ago, 557 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: I think one of my neighbors she got into a 558 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: small fender bender and she also came to my door. 559 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: Do you have any footage of it to see whose 560 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: fault it was? 561 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 3: To get rid of your camera and. 562 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah right, I like it. It's fun sometimes. 563 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 3: No, I know, I have I have the cameras all 564 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: over the place and I can I can see even 565 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 3: at work, I can see what's going on. 566 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
