1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app I'm r on the radio from

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: one until four and then after four o'clock John and

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: Canned on demand. It's the podcast same as the radio show,

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: and you could play what you missed. But stay right

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: here this minute because we're gonna talk to Steve Gregor.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: And Well, first, we have really bad news to pass

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: along that no more money. We're out of money. The

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: cash contest has ended for now. We've been out of

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: money for years. Well, well, we've still been passing it

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: along for the last time.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: You mean the contest money. Okay, what money were you

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: talking about? The just the general money you need to

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: run a station, that's all.

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: Well, this money comes from the general money that need

17
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: to run a station. So I guess they had a

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: little bit lying around for a few months there. So anyway,

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: we're done with that. But yeah, we have a POI

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: POI A oh, I'm sorry. The official bulletin says a

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: subject of interest. It's an SI in the arsonal investigation

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: and the ten Freeway fire that well, as you probably

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: know by now, it's reopened. The crisis is solved in

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: just over a week, because we have an incredible governor,

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: an incredible mayor, incredible Caltrans department, and all local people

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: that got involved.

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: They'll get me started. I tell you that the correct

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: term is suspect. I don't use these terms. Nobody normally

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: uses these terms. The subject. This is a suspect. This

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: is a guy they think set the fire. Scraggly looking character.

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: They say unknown race.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: It looks like well, whoever he is, he looks like vermin.

33
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: He looks like street vermin. You think he's homeless. Are

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: you gonna a profile?

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do. Black hoodie, blue shorts, gray shoes, green scarf,

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: knee brace on right knee, in a dark colored backpack.

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: I think he's a vagrant, a drifter, a transient, a bum,

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: a whole many pseudonyms. Yes, And I don't think he

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: has a job. I don't think he's gonna be You

40
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: forgot hobo.

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: I didn't I even say hobo. I meant no. I

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: think he said vagrant, drifter, bum.

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: Well that's really he's harry and scraggly, and it looks

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: dirty and unkempt, and I doubt he's working at his

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: bank job.

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: This morning. Put it that way, let's bring on Steve

47
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: Gregory for the search for this man.

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we broke that story Saturday morning. Actually, yes, I

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: was excited. I saw it on the social media feed,

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: so yeah, yeah, it was one of those things where

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: it's like, that's a pretty big leap and pretty big,

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: you know, spot of progress that they had a photo already,

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: you know, And here's the thing, so they knew, they've

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: known probably for a few days, this person that's Those

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: are screen grabs from surveillance video and if you look

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: at it, it's from two different cameras. That appears one

57
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: he's walking on the sidewalk and the other one he's

58
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: in the middle of the street. So it looks as

59
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: though it's from two different cameras to different angles. And

60
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: as soon as they put that out on Saturday, it went,

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: you know, it went viral, and they've now been flooded

62
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: with tips for this guy. I suspect it something I suspect.

63
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: This week, we're supposed to get an update on the

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: investigation on Wednesday.

65
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: Wednesday.

66
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, for some reason, the governor said yesterday that there

67
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: was going to be an update on the investigation Wednesday.

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: So I don't know whether they've already got this guy

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: in custody, whether they've got him surveiled.

70
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is.

71
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: I just found it odd that he said there was

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: gonna be an update to the investigation on Wednesday. Well,

73
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: even though that that's a pretty decent photo. I mean,

74
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: it's old, grainy and blurry, it's at night and all that.

75
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: If he is a vagrant, he would be difficult to

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: find because he's on the move. He doesn't necessarily have

77
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: a paper trail, right or no. But that is a

78
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: very close network of people down there, and those people

79
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: tend to roam in the same circles, they tend to

80
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: hang out in the same spot. And with that, with

81
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: him having such a distinct look on those clothes, right,

82
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: people know, I mean it's twelve twenty in the morning.

83
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: Only a handful of people are probably going to be

84
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: awake at that time down there. There's so they'll take

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: the photo to all the other vagrants living in all

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: the other encampments nearby. Now they're gonna go down there.

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: They've probably already done that, I would agguess they've already

88
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: done that. And the business owners, because those people tend

89
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: to go inside the businesses too, or scrape through the

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: trash can for cigarette butts and food and stuff. So

91
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: i'll bet you he's been id by now. I wouldn't

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: be surprised if he's. I mean, we may not know

93
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: his name, but i'll bet you they have a line

94
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: on it a lot of people.

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: They told us officially they only moved sixteen people out

96
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: of there and bought him into housing. But well, I

97
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of homeless were there and scattered when

98
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the fire hit right right, and when they heard the

99
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: sirens and whatever.

100
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: But you gotta remember that was just sixteen people that

101
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: were close enough to the fire to get injured. That

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: doesn't mean the rest of the street wasn't evacuated, no,

103
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: because they have hundreds. Yeah so, and that's particular. Are

104
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: there bridges, under bridges underpasses are a very big attractive

105
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: spot for them because it gives them some sort of

106
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: built in shelter, right, and so that they tend to

107
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 2: really really congregate towards those areas. Has anybody addressed because

108
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: I can't stomach watching these press conferences because the governor's

109
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: just so full of crap. Well's see the one yesterday.

110
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: It's just just the news clips. I'm not going to

111
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: waste my Vice president Harry, Well, that was a yeah.

112
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: If you're going to bring somebody on who's going to

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: give you confidence, Yeah, bring on the third stooge.

114
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what what are they thinking?

115
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: The last person who bring is her, She's she's the

116
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: poster child for incompetence. Well, here's the thing that I

117
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: just find fascinating about all of this is that the

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: Countrans people were perfectly capable of coming out and announcing

119
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: the opening of the freeway on their own. There was

120
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: no need for the governor or the mayor, the senator.

121
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: They want to take credit all.

122
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: Well, the Vice President took the conversation and said, you know,

123
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: she met the laborers down there, talked about this was

124
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: a great day and happy Thanksgiving early and everything, and

125
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: said this this project is proof of the Biden Harris

126
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: Administration's infrastructure package working.

127
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: What the hell? And well, well, I know what that means, yes,

128
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: because I heard that apparently they're going to use funding

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: from the infrastructure.

130
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: Package to the three million damage, the three million on

131
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: a reimbursable level, right, But we would have paid that

132
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: money anyway that it had no effect on the construction timeline.

133
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: It's just who pays the check, who pays the bill

134
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: a few months down the road.

135
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: And by the way, they're going to be working on

136
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: that span for months and months sure, And this was

137
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: just a temporary fix that they could pull off in

138
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: a week because the damage wasn't as bad as they

139
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: claimed it was at the beginning of this. And you know,

140
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: there's going to be reinforcement of all of these similar

141
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: areas now. So those whoever you got this contract, the

142
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 2: big one, I can't remember their name, got the big

143
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: contract here. You know, they're going to be going around

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: and showing up all the rest of places and inspecting

145
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: and doing you know, any kind of retrofitting or anything

146
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: like that. Are they going to clear out all the

147
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: homeless encampments underneath every single overpass in the city and

148
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: the county? I mean, after this, aren't they going to

149
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: make that mandatory and do it just as fast as

150
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Newsome cleaned out San Francisco for the for the Communist leader. Well,

151
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: the well, the governor did say that they had already

152
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: cleared out thirty one hundred was it thirty one hundred

153
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: and thirty one thousand came true, But he said that

154
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: they that was on their priority list, and they've already

155
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: done that, so they're going to be able to do

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: it for this. And they're going through an assessing right now.

157
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: That's what they're doing. They're assessing. They're going around to

158
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: assess all of the different assesses. Yeah, they're assessing while

159
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: you're obsessing. It means a task force in a study.

160
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

161
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: So it's it's unknown right now what really is going

162
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: to come from this, but I can tell you one

163
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: thing for sure that they are working very very hard

164
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: for the general public to be distracted from what got

165
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: them to this point in the first and that's why

166
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: I want to keep putting the spotlight and what got

167
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I saw on tele yesterday they had prints

168
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: of all the Coutran's inspections or fire inspections that I

169
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: haven't heard Kamela or Karen Bass or knew some bring up.

170
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: There were many many inspections where they were aware of

171
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: all the flammable materials underneath. In fact, do you have

172
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: a list of them right in front of you there?

173
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: Lets us set This was my record's request and I

174
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: just got it ten minutes before the show. So I'm

175
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: separating them out right here and looking through them, and

176
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: these include letters to the LSSE and where back in

177
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: it shows May second of twenty twenty two, he was

178
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: already one hundred and sixty nine thou five hundred dollars

179
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: behind in rent right, so he hasn't been paying a

180
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: rent for a long time. They've held homeless there for

181
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: a long time, They've had flammable materials for a long time,

182
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,479
Speaker 2: and nothing was done by all these employees.

183
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: So I know we're running up on the clock here.

184
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: So Tuesday February eighteenth, twenty twenty, this site has multiple

185
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: sub tenants from washing machine appliances, car and truck parking,

186
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: and Wooden Pallette Storage that's in twenty twenty. Tuesday February eighteen,

187
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, again at two minutes later posted a new

188
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: PDF with a description of Wooden Pallette Storage. Then it

189
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: says they're using it for car and equipment storage, truck parking.

190
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: Then on May twelfth of twenty twenty, called to get

191
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: an update. He said he's going to have the area paved.

192
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: Keeps going on and on and on and on, and

193
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 2: then it.

194
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Says that.

195
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: Tuesday September fourteen, twenty twenty one, a spot inspection was

196
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: conducted this date by Mayatt and Kim As if they

197
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: don't remove violations regarding the storage of hazardous materials, right,

198
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: so they generate a lot of papers twenty one, Right,

199
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: they have people typing paperwork up all day. Nobody goes

200
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: down there and says or just brings a crew and

201
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: clears everything out. August twenty twenty two, a surprise inspection

202
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: of this lease was conducted in conjunction with the State

203
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: Fire Marshal. Numerous violations of lease terms, including dogs on

204
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: the lease stiple, high pile issues, solvents, oils, fuels, and

205
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: other things expressly prohibited by the lease.

206
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: Fifty seven pictures taken.

207
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: The homeless camp is back after being cleaned by maintenance

208
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: several weeks ago.

209
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: That's on the property.

210
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, the State Fire Marshal will be issuing their findings

211
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 2: as well well. But they're issuing findings, they're issuing paperwork.

212
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: Don't you declare that a safety emergency? And that's what

213
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: it goes, Everything goes. That's the answer I could never

214
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: get from anybody when I kept asking, So we're just

215
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: what did they say? They just were just saying that's

216
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: all part of the investigation. They don't do anything but

217
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: generate reports because it's easy to type up a report

218
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: on your on your computer, yep. But you have to

219
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: organize a crew to take out all the flammable materials

220
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: and to clear out the homeless and put them somewhere else.

221
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: And that all takes a lot of work, and nobody

222
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: wants to do it. They're just lazy stooges, that's all. Well,

223
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what the motive was because by based

224
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: on this paper work, this over abundance of paperwork, and

225
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: here's the here is the lawsuit the state filed. I've

226
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: got that too. It's another and now a lot of paper.

227
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: So you've got a lot of paper in front of you.

228
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: I do.

229
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: But it's also packed with information and it's it's important

230
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: that we put a timeline together.

231
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: All right.

232
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 2: Whenever you get through that, come back and talk to

233
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: you about it. All right, Okay, we got to take

234
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: a break. It's Johnny Can KFI.

235
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

236
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: Am six forty.

237
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 2: On the radio one to four after four, John and

238
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: Can on demand, the podcast. We just had Steve Gregory

239
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: give us a rundown. There is a suspect there's a

240
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: photo going around. He looks like some scraggly vagrant type,

241
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: and they're interviewing all the people, all the other scraggly

242
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: vagrants in the encampments in the area, to see who

243
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 2: knows them.

244
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: He's got a burn on his leg, so whether it's

245
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: just a black from the sweat to or it's an

246
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: actual burn, that's why they because a pretty good chance

247
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: he may have had to do something that started this

248
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: fire along the fence line. And remember when this first

249
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: came out, Mayor Bessetti, Mayor Bascon was trying to tell us,

250
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: you don't don't demonize the homeless here. We don't know

251
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: who started this. We're still early in the investigation. And

252
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: then there was actually a comment that we don't think

253
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: it has anything to do with the encampments.

254
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: Is that really true. No, they're doing nothing but lying. Okay,

255
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: they're doing nothing. I'm so exhausted, especially this story. I'm

256
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: exhausted with all their nonsense and garbage. Okay, they're lying,

257
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 2: they're misleading people, they're pointing in other directions, they're twisting

258
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: and distorting what truthful information exists. Of course this has

259
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: something to do with homeless, of course, it does.

260
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: And you know what, all that flammable material that's been

261
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: stored there doesn't burn unless somebody likes a match and

262
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: starts it to burn. Right, I don't think it's gonna

263
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: just be self combusting. I think it needs so this

264
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: story I just saw somebody actually spoke for Thisex Development

265
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: the bad actors, right, These are the people at least

266
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: the property. They have an attorney named Maniac dat Array,

267
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: great name, who said that the company constantly complained to

268
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: La City officials about fires being started by homeless people

269
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: on or near the property. This goes back to the

270
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: same thing. We're not doing enough to move the vagrants aways,

271
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 1: particularly from the dangerous areas. I brought this up the

272
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: other day a few years back at gar City w

273
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 1: All Hyper because we got to get them out of

274
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: the high burned, high risk areas. And I don't know

275
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: how successful that was, but that was a big deal,

276
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: like five years ago. We have the same thing under

277
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: these freeways. If you're gonna have munder there and then

278
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna store this kind of stuff, I mean wooden

279
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: pallets and hand sanitizer, and I've seen dozens of these encampments.

280
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: We've had hundreds of fires in the last few years.

281
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, yeah, we constantly have traffic reports that

282
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: are part of homeless encampment fire that one day we

283
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: usually just just the smoke bothers and slows down traffic,

284
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: but actually damage the freeway like this. Well, and that

285
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: was bound to happen.

286
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: And either they missed they were trying to cover their

287
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: ass at the beginning and claimed it was going to

288
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: take months, or they completely misdiagnosed the damage, which is incompetence,

289
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: or they intentionally lied. They lied so that Newsom and

290
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: Best Gone would look like a hero, and I would

291
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: bet my money on that because they they what they

292
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: did is they worked. They're praising themselves for working twenty

293
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: four to seven, and they have all these temporary support

294
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: structures now underneath, and they have these these jacks that

295
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: can hold up an enormous amount of weight and those

296
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: are sitting there holding up the freeway until they can

297
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: rebuild or replace the columns. And the reason they work

298
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven is that's what they're supposed to do.

299
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: That's their job. I'm sick of this. Well, you know,

300
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: they wanted to action.

301
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, you know, somebody pointed out in

302
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: the La Times today, when Pete Wilson got the IT

303
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: Freeway rebuilt in eighty four days after the north Ridge

304
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: earthquake that was done by private companies, that wasn't done

305
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: by Caltrans. He knew Caltrans even then thirty almost thirty

306
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: years ago was a bust, a waste of time. He

307
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: went right to the private sector and paid them a

308
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: lot of money with a lot of bonuses. And these

309
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: are private sector companies that are hired and that's their job.

310
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: But Newsom didn't do anything. Bass didn't do anything. Kala

311
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: Harris shows up, What the hell? Well, I looked at

312
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: that and I actually had yelled at my TV what

313
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: the f what she got to do with this?

314
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: Well, Alex Michaelson from Fox eleven, we have some audio

315
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: from his ex account. He wanted to ask Newsom, Well,

316
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: you'll hear it because the question comes first, but we'll

317
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: hear another Newsom dance. I'm sure why they made so

318
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: much about how quickly they got on action about this

319
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: freeway closure and got it reopened like a miracle. They

320
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: can't apply the same principle to cleaning up the homeless problem.

321
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: Let's see what happened.

322
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: Obviously there was a lot of urgency to get this done. Yes,

323
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: and this is an example of government working in terms

324
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: of getting it open. What is the lesson learned on

325
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: this urgency that maybe applied to other things like homelessness

326
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: or other things where we see the entire government come

327
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: together and say we're going to do this now.

328
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 5: I mean, it's intentionality. At the end of the day,

329
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: it's focused, since it's commitment and resolve. Okay, it's about

330
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 5: dropping everything else and just prioritizing a middle, beginning and end.

331
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 5: We had a date with destiny in terms of our

332
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 5: internal timelines and those that we transparently made public, and

333
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 5: we wanted to exceed them. We wanted to beat our

334
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: own best estimates, and so there was an internal competition

335
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 5: of sorts between ourselves and agencies. There's pride in work,

336
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 5: pride in product. That pride was reflected in security, paving

337
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: in their team and the contract. To your question, this

338
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 5: is a private company time of materials and twenty one

339
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 5: percent contingency bonus. We have partnerships, we have federal reimbursements.

340
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 5: There are a lot of conditions that are unique and

341
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 5: distinctive an emergency like this, but absolutely those things can

342
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: be applied more broadly in this can do attitude moving

343
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 5: heaven and Earth, as we reflected and stated over a

344
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 5: week ago, should be brought to bear on a lot

345
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 5: of other things. So to me, this is directional. It's

346
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 5: a flywheel effect I think only bodes well for subsequent

347
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 5: work products.

348
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 1: Still sly wheel issues here in this state? Does she ever?

349
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: Still you understand that frustration why some people say, Look,

350
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: if you can do this for this, why can't we

351
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 4: do this for other things?

352
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Thirty two hundred and seventy five encampments have been

353
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 5: cleaned up the Caltrans since we announced Clean California. One

354
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 5: point one billion dollars was set aside new partnerships. I mean,

355
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: these are exponentials compared to what we've seen in the past.

356
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 5: It's it's a large state size of twenty one state

357
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 5: populations combined. A lot of great things are happening all

358
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 5: across the state. You're the vice president, make that point

359
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 5: all across America.

360
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: I always say this.

361
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 5: You know they've been a mirror of your consistent thoughts.

362
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: Whatever you focus on, you'll find more of help. Folks

363
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 5: focus on the success of this, and they'll find more

364
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 5: successes the mayor's successes locally, the supervisor's successes in her districts,

365
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 5: some of a member and senators, congressmen, and do good

366
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 5: work everywhere.

367
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: And somebody gets a fire hose.

368
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 5: Not just the thing short of expectation, but the things

369
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: where we've seen.

370
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was a diarrhea blast. Oh incredible

371
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: at that too, Oh my god. And it's all nonsense.

372
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: He's been around now for five years, right, and the

373
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 2: state has been a disaster for five years. There's been

374
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: no sense of urgency on anything. He cleared out that

375
00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 2: homeless encampment in San Francisco, that the blocks around were

376
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: they going to have the meeting because the Chinese leader

377
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: was coming to town and he wanted to impress the

378
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: Chinese leader. He didn't want the Chinese leader to use

379
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: the disgusting, decrepit circumstances that San Francisco has fallen into.

380
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 2: He didn't want the leader to use it as propaganda.

381
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: Knew someon would be embarrassed, right a fellow communists coming

382
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: and making fun of him. He didn't want that, so

383
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: he got it done, and then he actually brags about it.

384
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, yeah, we did it for g of course,

385
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: we did, And I'm thinking what massive contempt Newsom has

386
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 2: for ordinary people who have to make their way through

387
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: all these drug addicted zombies, all this filth, the needles,

388
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: the feces, the kids who have to stumble over the

389
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: bodies lying in the streets, and all the needles and

390
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: feces on the way to school. He never bothered to

391
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: do that for the kids, for the families, for the taxpayers.

392
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: He only did it for the Chinese Communist Party leader.

393
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: That's the the only time he got involved to remove

394
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: a homeless encampment or an entire stretch of degradation. He

395
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: doesn't care about our lives. He has contempt for us.

396
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: He wants to use us to make himself famous or

397
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: make himself rich. He wants to use everybody your votes

398
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 2: as a springboard to feed his ego.

399
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be right back. Johnny Ken KFI AM

Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

402
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 3: AM six forty.

403
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do this, but he's babbling

404
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: that they cleared out thirty two hundred homeless encampments around

405
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: the state. I want proof of that. I don't know

406
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: how to get that now. Yeah, well they have it,

407
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: and the idiots who work in the news media should

408
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: make a public stink about it and force him to

409
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 2: release every detail at.

410
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: The location and the definition of cleaned out, and then

411
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: the people come back a few hours later exactly. Yeah,

412
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. Yeah clean. But then, but

413
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: that's part of the idea. They want you to believe that,

414
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 1: dub everybody just keeps falling into homelessness. We can't keep up,

415
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: and we have to build more houses. Yeah, you go

416
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: into that trap.

417
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 2: Anybody actually believe that's That's an obvious lie. That's an

418
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: obvious lie. And he's repeating it over and over again.

419
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: Now he got nailed in that question because you know, oh,

420
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: your big government response, all hands on deck and we

421
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: open the freeway. What about the other problems? What about homelessness?

422
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: You've been at this for five years and it's only

423
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: gotten worse. Where's your all hands on deck? This is

424
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:42,040

439
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: York Times Editorial Board put out a brand new editorial

440
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: on Saturday, stating that the school closures enacted to response

441
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: to the COVID nineteen pandemic may quote prove to be

442
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: the most damaging disruption in the history of American education.

443
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: Now wait a bead. There were many advocates for school

444
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: closures in twenty twenty and twenty one, and even in

445
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty ten, including the LA stupid teachers Union,

446
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: all the teachers' union.

447
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: This was supposed to save us from pure death. And

448
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: the thing is, they were wrong right from the beginning.

449
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: Right from the beginning, they had data which said this

450
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: was killing the elderly and the obese. They saw that

451
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: the infection rate was extremely tiny, the death rate almost

452
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: non existent among children, and it was clear by the

453
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: start of school in the fall twenty twenty. By the

454
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: fall of twenty twenty, they had all you needed to

455
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: know about it. The CDC already had months of data

456
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: and they looked at it and the kids were fine.

457
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: This was the teachers union. I'm sorry.

458
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: I don't know when teachers became untouchable in our society

459
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 2: where you couldn't say a bad word. The teachers in

460
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: these big city school districts, and it is the teachers.

461
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: It's not the union, because the teachers elect all the

462
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: union leaders and they vote for these policies. The teachers,

463
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 2: by and large in the city school district are really

464
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 2: lazy and they saw this as a great way to

465
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: take a year and a half off and not work.

466
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: They're lazy, they're unmotivated, and they don't like the kids.

467
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,239
Speaker 2: They hate the kids. Nobody would leave the kids out

468
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: to hung out to dry for a year and a

469
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: half if you really cared. No, no, no, nobody would

470
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: do that. But they're blinded by their weird allegiance to

471
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: their union to theirs. It's weird group think. It's like

472
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: it's like some kind of religious cult, and they're bad people.

473
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 2: They really are bad people.

474
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I wrote a lot of it off

475
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: to just paranoia over this, and there was a lot

476
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: of people who you know still today walk around all

477
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: masked and all scared of everything. How come only teachers

478
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: were paranoid? And we learned pretty quickly that kids were

479
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: not getting COVID like old people and people with underlying conditions,

480
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: or at least getting serious COVID and dying. So it

481
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: was we learned that pretty quickly.

482
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: It was their side that said, follow the science, right,

483
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: So the science showed them in September twenty twenty that

484
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: there was no no need to worry about kids, no

485
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: need to worry at all. You as a teacher, you

486
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: could show up with a triple mask and a helmet

487
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: on your head and your own breathing machine, but the

488
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: kids were fine. This was this is deviousness on the

489
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 2: part of teachers. They held all the school districts hostage,

490
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 2: extorted all kinds of extra benefits and bonuses, and they

491
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: could sit in their fluffy slippers and their bathrobes on

492
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: a sofa and let the kids go to hell, Let

493
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: the kids ragin, let their brains rot, which is.

494
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: Really what had The worst of these was LA Unified.

495
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: I believe that they kept the kids out of the classroom.

496
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: It was one of the longest for a large school

497
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: district in the country. They refused to go back into

498
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: the classroom. I forget that dragged me into twenty one,

499
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: didn't it. I think it? No, it did, it did.

500
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: In fact, a lot of schools didn't come back for

501
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: a year and a half. It wasn't until September of

502
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one that a lot went back.

503
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: The time said, and.

504
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: They used the CDC statistics, more than forty percent of

505
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: high school students had persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness.

506
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: Twenty two percent had seriously considered suicide, ten percent had

507
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: reported they attempted suicide.

508
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: That's what the lockdown did. None of the teachers cared.

509
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: They still don't care. They got theirs, They got big checks.

510
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: Out of this, student progress in math and reading has

511
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: been set back by two decades. This is the New

512
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: York Times editorial, by the way, and has widened the

513
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: achievement gap that separates the poor and wealthy children exactly.

514
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: And we were yelling at back then. We were saying,

515
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: this is going to hurt the kids who always claim

516
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: you want to help the most, because they're the furthest

517
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: behind if they have to stay home and do the

518
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: zoom thing with parents that are too busy. I have

519
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: to work, and they're not going to get anything out

520
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: of that. And they didn't. It was a complete, complete

521
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: waste of time. They had written in.

522
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty the New York Times that the immediate

523
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: goal is to flatten the curve. Remember that lie, so

524
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 2: the peak infection rate stays manageable. With better testing and screening,

525
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: it's possible to imagine keeping schools open and protecting families.

526
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: Failing that, and we in the US have been failing

527
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: so far, school closures and significant physical distancing are starting

528
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: to look like the best bet. And later in August

529
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: it advised that most of the country should keep schools closed.

530
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: But I know by September they knew that the students

531
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 2: were fine. You'd give them March March, April, May of

532
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. By September it was clear. And so if

533
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: you read the science, you'd know this. And that crowd

534
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: was constantly following the science. We're saying, follow the science.

535
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: So what was the other reason? What was the other reason?

536
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: The reason was laziness and greed because I can't think

537
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: of a third possibility.

538
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all those things. Yeah, yeah, And they apparently

539
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: ran another editorial in November of that year, we're kind

540
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: of going in the opposite direction. Are we seriously talking

541
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: about closing schools again? It was one of their contributing

542
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: opinion writers who said cases have become more common in

543
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: school to each children this fall. But when schools do

544
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: the right things, these infections are not transmitted in the classroom.

545
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: There are occurring when kids go to parties, when they

546
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: have sleepovers, when they're playing sports inside, and they're unmasked,

547
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: which is true because if any kids got COVID back then,

548
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: it was because even though they weren't in the classroom,

549
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: they were probably still socializing to some extent other people

550
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: in the household, other people down the block. Remember, we

551
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: made that point. We said, particularly in LA unified, where

552
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: you have pretty crowded households, making everybody stay home, but

553
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: except for one person who has to go out and

554
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: work to make some money for the household, and that

555
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: person comes back and sick and you're trying to isolate them.

556
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: That's probably a bigger risk than sending them to the classroom,

557
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: where they got hand sanitizer everywhere, in masks, everywhere. But

558
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: the household is where there was a lot of transmission,

559
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: particularly in large crowded households.

560
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: You know, it was a year and a hal half

561
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: of government sponsored child abuse, teachers union sponsored child abuse.

562
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: And the thing is, you can't shame these people. It's impossible.

563
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: They'll never apologize, they'll never admit they were wrong. They

564
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 2: would do it again if it came up. That's why

565
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if they ever, if we had a

566
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: recurrence of some kind of pandemic, pandemic, oh my god,

567
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: we're going to we are. It might be a serious one,

568
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: or it might be just a case of another exaggeration.

569
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: There's there's going to be a significant part of the

570
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: population that is going to rebel, and maybe rebel violently.

571
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: I mean, they you should never ever allow the government

572
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: and a teachers union to do this to your.

573
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: Child ever again. It should never be allowed. All right,

574
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Johnny Ken kf I AM six

578
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: We're on from one to four on the radio. After

579

Speaker 2: four o'clock, Johnny can on demand the podcast.

580
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: We're going to have a special guest on the show

581
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: after the news at three o'clock. That person's going to

582
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: remain anonymous because her rapist is due to be paroled.

583
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: He was sentenced to one hundred and forty years in prison.

584
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: You can guess he hasn't served that long. We're going

585
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: to talk about this. He was convicted in June nineteen

586
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: ninety four of four felony counts, including twenty counts of

587
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: loot acts on a child age fourteen, ten counts or

588
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: copulation by force or violence on a child age fourteen,

589
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: ten counts of a lawful intercourse forcible rape. At the time,

590
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: he was already a convicted rapist, having been found guilty

591
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: of rape in nineteen seventy six and attempted rape in

592
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one. This is a person that should ever

593
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: be released one hundred and forty years early. Yeah, he

594
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: raped his fourteen year old niece in his Morino Valley

595
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: home throughout the year nineteen ninety. Permanent, permanent problems for her.

596
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: She's going to talk to us after the news at

597
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: three o clock. This is Cody Woodson Klemp we're talking about,

598
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: and it's that age thing again. He's sixty seven years old,

599
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: so he's qualifying for elderly parole.

600
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: The only deal I'd make is if he cut off

601
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: his penis and then maybe we could release him.

602
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: Aren't you? Isn't everybody sick of this? That's how they

603
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: clear out their prisons. We've warned everybody about this. The

604
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: guy's getting out one hundred and forty years early. One

605
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: hundred and forty years early. What hello?

606
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 2: Do you see how far it's gone? Right under your nose? Actually,

607
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: you voted for this. You vote for this.

608
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: It's not a done deal. They're trying to get Newsome

609
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: to turn this down, so we'll talk to her after

610
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: three o clock.

611
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Newsom, you go right for president after releasing

612
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: this guy one hundred and forty years early. I will

613
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: personally do interviews on every single show I can get

614
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: on just to talk about this.

615
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: The serve just twenty nine years of a one hundred

616
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: and seventy year sentence at the California Institution for Men

617
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: in Chino. All Right, well, this is the time of

618
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: year where mostly kicking up after Thanksgiving companies, I guess

619
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: maybe might be back having Christmas parties because you know,

620
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: the whole pandemic thing's long over. This was an incredible

621
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: year for travel, so as you can see, ninety nine

622
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: percent of the country is back to where they were

623
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. About a year ago, there was a

624
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: Christmas party at an Area, La Area at Taco Bell,

625
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: and wow, you might say it got out of control.

626
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: A woman by the name of Alana Bechong bech Bechiom

627
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: has filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging that she

628
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: was forced to quit her job as a cashier at

629
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: the Taco Bell because she reported some incidents that occurred

630
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: she says, at that party to human resources, and that

631
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: appeared to have resulted in some firings. This was in

632
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: San Pedro, Yes, San Pedro right, San Pedro, Taco Bell,

633
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: December eighteenth of last year, she was invited to the

634
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: party by her supervisor, a woman by the name of

635
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: Lydia Ruiz, who is named in the complaint, and you'll

636
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: see why in a moment. The woman says that she

637
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: and other staffers were encouraged to bring food in a

638
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: potluck style buffet to be held at the restaurant. Well,

639
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: she prepared a bowl of wacamole for the occasion. Arrived

640
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: at the party, and the first thing she discovered is

641
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: they covered up all the windows of the restaurant with

642
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: wrapping paper and covered up the cameras in the lobby

643
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: inside the restaurant too. That might tell you they don't

644
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: want things to be bad. Things were going to happen here.

645
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: This is a very very private, wild party. She also

646
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: says Ruiz provided alcohol to the staffers, a number of

647
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: which were quote, I do like this term overserved, sir,

648
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: You've been overserved hat. Around midnight, this woman Betchiulm, who

649
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: had been socializing outside the restaurant for a short five

650
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 1: short while, walked back in and witnessed a co worker

651
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: having sex with his wife in front of everyone at

652
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: the party. The coworker's wife was a bent over oh

653
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: and kissing both this Ruiz woman and another coworker, so

654
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: they had a three someome going. Yep, the coworker's been

655
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: just given a pseudonym named Adriana Bechium was shocked, disgusted

656
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: as a outrage, and she ran outside. But when she

657
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: went back inside the restaurant to retrieve her her walk

658
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: a Molli bowl while uh, the two women threw up

659
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: in it. One of them vomited in the trash, the

660
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: other one threw up in the walk a Molli bowl

661
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: had ruined some good avocados. What if somebody doesn't notice

662
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: and sticks a chip in there? Really? Yeah, wakam only

663
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: always kind of looked like vomit to me. It does

664
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: the green, kind of strange, rumpy, like, oh my god,

665
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: who got shick here? Well, she decided to report the

666
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: incident to the human resources people as well as to

667
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: the franchisee. And this is a franchised out taco bell

668
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: owned by a Colorado company called Alvarado Restaurant Group. So

669
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: they did an investigation and yeah, they fired this Lydia

670
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: Ruiz and some other coworkers. Well after their termination quote,

671
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: someone associated with Ruiz and the co workers retaliated against

672
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: this woman Bechium by smashing out the back left window

673
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: of her car at her home in the middle of

674
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: the night. She's alleged to receive numerous threatening text messages,

675
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: including one from a female co worker with simply read

676
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: baby girl, I want to break your face and I

677
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: don't give an f about your car. That's a nice

678
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: text to get us. You look down at your phone.

679
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: And these are really educated people, aren't they. I know,

680
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: baby girl, I want to break your face.

681
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: San Pedro Taco Bell. By the way, you're in San Pedro,

682
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: it's the one on South Gaffey Street. Well, these people

683
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: don't work there anymore. No, but I recommend the guacamalle

684
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: if it's in a bowl. Hey, maybe they didn't clean

685
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: and clean out the ball.

686
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: A male co worker is alleged to have texted insults,

687
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: calling her a stupid, n fed up hose slot. Wow,

688
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: that's a nasty crowd that they hired. Huh. She got

689
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: nervous enough she reported these incidents to LAPD as well

690
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: as superiors at Taco Bell, and she said that they

691
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: did nothing about these threats and said, we're going to

692
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: transfer you to a new location rather than discipline the

693
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: employees who threatened her. Oh, I got the impressions. Some

694
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: of them were fired already.

695
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: Rather than discipline the employees who threatened her, we'll just

696
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: transfer you out so you don't have to be around

697
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: them anymore. Clee with all sorts of racial epithets, right, Na,

698
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 2: that's all right, you have to go.

699
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean there's probably an unwritten code in the workforce

700
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: world that company Christmas parties can get really wild and

701
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to get I don't know, you snitchy

702
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: about them.

703
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can't throw up in her guacamal ball. Well,

704
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: you could be cleaned or thrown out. I mean, come on,

705
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 2: that's walking in on a threesome. That's a little that's

706
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: too much.

707
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: They probably shouldn't invited this woman that's gonna be or

708
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: should have put out some Well, that's the thing. Once

709
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: people get drinking heavily, whatever you think was gonna happen,

710
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: it may be a lot crazier. I've never been to

711
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: a party like that. No, I've never been to a

712
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: party like that. I did did ninety nine percent of

713
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: the parties companies have don't get as wild as this,

714
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: But every now and then, if you do, it's all

715
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: about the alcohol. Nobody ever invited me. She allegedly felt

716
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: so overcome with significant stress, physical and mental illness, and

717
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: anxiety from this hostile work environment, she had no other

718
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: choice to inform her pauses that she was quitting, and

719
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: that's the cause of the lawsuit. But of course sounds

720
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: like she had a nervous breakdown from the whole thing.

721
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: Hawco'bell and I guess the Alvalona restaurant group have some

722
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: deep pockets. I think I think that it was a

723
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: guacamole bowl getting soiled. That's what center over the edge.

724
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: When somebody vomits in your walk bowl, Yeah, you can

725
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: get really testy and crazy. It doesn't specify how much

726
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: money she's looking for in damages, but you know, this

727
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: could be the case of just a quick settlement. But yeah, yeah,

728
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think that company's gonna want

729
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: this to play out in the headlines in court. No,

730
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, Well, it's a very

731
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: very exciting day in the United States of America. Why

732
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: is that, you might ask, Why is that Joe Biden

733
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: is eighty one years old today? Oh, that's right. Yeah,

734
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: And we're going to take a trip to Bidenville. I'm

735
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: going to play you some brand new sound clips from

736
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: old Joe to show you that he's still right on form. Yeah,

737
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: despite his age. She's rare in a go oh, and

738
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: he loves the little ladies when he can find them.

739
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: Why does he get so weird particularly around young girls? Oh?

740
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: I know, why, touching their hair and saying strange thing?

741
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: Why do you think he's always a whisperinging their ears

742
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 2: and sniffing their hair and touching them.

743
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Why do you any think that is? And he doesn't.

744
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: He tries to make I don't know, like small talk,

745
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: but it always comes out awkward. Do you know anybody

746
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: who does that?

747
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 2: Do you know anybody every time they see a girl

748
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: that they don't know and they have to touch them

749
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: and sniff their hair and make it.

750
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: I have seen older men do their own version of

751
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: playful flirting. Yes, with younger women. We've never seen that.

752
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: Not younger women. I'm talking. Look, we're talking. This is

753
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: like a seven year older. Yeah, all right, Well we'll

754
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: go into Bidenville. We'll play with this new audio. We'll
