Stop laughing at me, Well, 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: I've everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: Can't blame me this time, No. 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: I can't. I've been like this all my life. We are. 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: This is one of those days where we've got a 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: lot of news stories tumbling on top of one another. 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: Because just a short while ago, the story came out 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: about Trump getting whacked in New York with a civil 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: judgment well over three hundred million dollars. We'll get into 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: that coming up in the next segment. Another huge story 13 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: all week that has been developing very slowly is the 14 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chief's victory parade, the shooting. Twenty two people 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: were shot or twenty three people were shot, one killed? 16 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: And who did this? They did it? Ha did the shooting? Unfold? 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: The stories the details rather have been really sparse. I 18 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: don't think I'm aware to this moment exactly what went 19 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: on there. We are going to talk now to Alex 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: Stone because one of the suspects that was arrested detained 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: has been released, and why is this. It's got alex 22 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: On here, Tylor John. Yeah, one of them, it was three. 23 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: We knew that the two of them were minors. I 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: hesitate saying children because at least the definition wise a 25 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: child is somebody up until puberty. So you see a child, 26 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: and you know, people think it was like a seven 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: year old running around with a gun, but well that's 28 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: where it happened. Yeah, these were older teenagers. It would 29 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: appear based on those who were being put into handcuffs. 30 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: But police in Kansas City say that they've determined that 31 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: third person didn't have anything to do with this. But 32 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: today the two others, both of them who are juveniles, 33 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: that they were charged today, and because they are under 34 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: the age of eighteen, most of it we will not know. 35 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: We don't know who they are, we don't know what 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: the exact charges are, we don't know how old they are. 37 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: We will not be able to attend any of their hearings, 38 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: any of the court hearings, unless they charge them as 39 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: adults because well all of that is by law sealed 40 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: then covered because they're quote unquote children, and so we 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: don't get to know any of that unless they decide 42 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: to go after them as adults, but we know they're 43 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: being held in the Kansas City Juvenile Detention Center today. 44 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: The charges have now been officially filed and they say 45 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: more charges that the family court today. This is all 46 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: in family court because of their age. The family court 47 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: saying that more charges will likely be coming, maybe murder 48 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: or attempted murder if they can do that in Missouri 49 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: against a child. But this was that moment that they 50 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: allegedly opened fire at the end of the chief's victory parade, 51 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: And I mean, how many shots were being fired and 52 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: then the music comes back up of the victory rally 53 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: that that was wrapping up here, But that was a 54 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: gun battle that was underway. It sound like children that 55 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: apparently was in my neighborhood growing up, but I had 56 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: never heard that that kind of sound. Yeah, and police 57 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: said they've recovered weapons. They won't say what kind. We 58 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: know at least one was a handgun from witnesses when 59 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: it fell out. But they believed that the two got 60 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: into an argument, guns came out, they started shooting, and 61 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: then Edison victims began going down And but again we 62 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: won't know a lot of it. We are hearing though today. 63 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: Paul Contreras he was one of the heroes who tackled 64 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: the shooter and the gun fell out. 65 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: He told us this, I'm right here, and I just 66 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: I never think about it, just a reaction. I didn't 67 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: have to tell you, it was just just do it. 68 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: So I went to go tackle and another gentleman did 69 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: the same thing. And as I'm tackling him, I see 70 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: his weapon either fall out of his hand or out 71 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: of his sleeve because he was weren't a long jacket 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: or like a car heart. So when I seen that 73 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: hit the ground, I'm like, oh, you know, we got 74 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: to take this guy down. 75 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: Thank goodness for those two guys, right. I mean that 76 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: they saw the shooter run by him and the guy tackled. 77 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: He was the big guy that we saw in the video. Yeah, 78 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: the video, yeah, where you see the two guys and 79 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: Paul Contreras is one of those guys taking him down, 80 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: and he was running away. He was going against the crowd, 81 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: running out when people were yelling that's the guy right there. 82 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Get him, and Paul Contreras and the other guy then 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: jump on top of him. They hold him down. You 84 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: see police not even noticing what was going on. They 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: were like running by them. And didn't see what it was. 86 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: He said, it felt like forever. It's by thirty seconds, 87 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 1: we said, felt like forever. They're yelling get the cops, 88 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: and cops weren't right around there. 89 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: He said this, and then finally one cop showed up. 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 3: Then another cop showed up, but we were just all 91 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 3: their weight was on. We couldn't let him get up, 92 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: so we're just holding him down, hold him down. 93 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: Finding the cops get there, and one of the wives 94 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: of these guys picked up the gun and held it. 95 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: She said she thought it was a toy at first, 96 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: but it was so heavy she realized it wasn't. And 97 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: then he said the cops came in and like jumped 98 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: on this guy and told them, okay, get back and 99 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: put handcuffs on. And he said he just stood there 100 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: and was like, so what do I do now? And 101 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: nobody asked his name, nobody said stick around, give us information. 102 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: So he said they had a long drive. He got 103 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: his daughters and said all right, we're out of here, 104 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: and they got in their car and drove home and 105 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: that was the end of that. The police are now 106 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: thanking them that they're saying that he was the hero 107 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: in this. One of the heroes and that Jackson County 108 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Family Court. They're saying that, you know, now the proceedings 109 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: will begin, that there will be an arraignment and everything else, 110 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: but we won't know it because they're under eighteen, we 111 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: won't have access. So the big guy they tangled, that 112 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: was a teenager. It is a teenager. Yeah, that was 113 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: somebody under eighteen years old. It would appear. And if 114 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: they're charged with murder these two, are they gonna tell 115 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: the world that it's murder charges or no? It's a 116 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: good question. We don't know. Jackson Family Court will only 117 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: say right now, gun charges and resisting arrest charges, but 118 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: they won't say exactly what they are. What does it 119 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: take for the authorities to charge him as an adult? Well, 120 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: they so the reason why this took so long as 121 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: they were dealing with juvenile prosecutors to not that the 122 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: prosecutors were young, but they deal with the kids to 123 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: figure out what was appropriate in this case. I would 124 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: not be surprised if the DA now begins to decide 125 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: now that they've got charges filed to keep these kids 126 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: in custody, Now they decide what do they want to do? 127 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: Can they go it's going to depend on their age. 128 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: If they are eleven years old, which I doubt, but 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: if they are eleven years old, it's going to be 130 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: harder to convince a court. You can go as an adult. 131 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: If they are seventeen, you could probably go on a 132 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: murder charge. And depending on in Missouri how willing they 133 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: are to do it, charge to them as an adult 134 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: and go down that road, which would have a much 135 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: tougher penalty with it would make everything public. We would, 136 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: I just can hard we'd be able to be at 137 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: all the hearing. I can't believe after hitting twenty two 138 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: three people that this would be one of those five 139 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: year juvenile terms and they do that might be it. 140 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: That may very well be it. But you know, the 141 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: whole thing with the family court saying well more charges 142 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: are probably coming, it would seem like that they may 143 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: be hinting toward that this could be an adult murder 144 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: case and they may go down that road. It would 145 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: seem like if they can, then that they would with 146 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: how henus this was, But as of right now they're not. Yeah, 147 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: I just I'm in shock, all right, Hey, Alex, thanks 148 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: very much for coming on. You got to think, Jean boy, 149 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: is that outrageous. So they hit twenty three people. Then 150 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: they kill one poor woman who a disc jockey radio 151 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: DJ Lisa Lopez Galvin and Taylor Swift has donated one 152 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to Galvin's family. She's the only one 153 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: killed in the shooting. But twenty two other people got 154 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: a bullet and some of them are very seriously hurt. 155 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: And all this for juvenile charges. That can't be Missouri 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: is not like California. It's not one of those cream 157 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: puff states where anything goes. All right. We got a 158 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: lot coming up, and when we return it got one 159 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: thousand dollars to give away. And then oh, it's the 160 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: last day. Yep, it's the last day, all right. So 161 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: if you want a thousand dollars from us, better pay attention. 162 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: Come up in a few minutes. Also, we're gonna give 163 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: you the quick rundown on the Trump situation. A judge 164 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: issued the penalty. It's a civil penalty. Trump was up 165 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: on all kinds of business fraud charges and the judge said, 166 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: you have to pay a lot of money, and we'll 167 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: get into those details coming up. 168 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI am 169 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 4: six forty. 170 00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: All right, Trump thing. Short time ago, the New York 171 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: judge Arthur and Gorn, Manhattan Supreme Court justice said that 172 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: Trump has to pay more than three hundred and fifty 173 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: million dollars and he and his sons can't run their 174 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: business for the next three years. Three hundred and fifty million. Now, 175 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: here's honestly, I honestly have not understood this case since 176 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: it began. This was three months. They decided Trump committed fraud, 177 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: and they decided now the penalty three hundred and fifty million. 178 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: And I've read through these stories many times over the 179 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: last three months. And what they said is is he 180 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: inflated the value of his assets, all the properties and 181 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: the office towers he owns, including mar al Lago, so 182 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: that he would be worth more money, would be worth 183 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: more money, and he would get really low interest rates. 184 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: And those low interest rates saved the Trump organization hundreds 185 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. Now, I have no doubt that 186 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: he did this. I have no doubt that his estimates 187 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: were inflated, and the reason for it was to get 188 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: better deals with banks and insurance companies. Here's the part 189 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't understand. There's two parties to this. There's Trump 190 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: on one side, there's the bank or the insurance company 191 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: on the other side. And I'm not worth billions of dollars. 192 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: But my wife and I have purchased several homes over 193 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: the years. We've refinanced our mortgage, We've gotten plenty of 194 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: insurance policies. And every time that we've bought a house 195 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: or had to renegotiate a mortgage, weasel comes over from 196 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: the bank and it spects the property and inspects the house, 197 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: and they determine the square footage, and they eyeball the 198 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: condition of the place, and they do market cops to 199 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: see if what we claim it's worth it's really worth, 200 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: to see if we're really qualified to get the mortgage 201 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: or get the preferred interest rate. We've always had these 202 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: guys come over. I remember one time we were doing 203 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: a we were doing a well. We bought a new house, 204 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: is what it was, and then we wanted to do 205 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: a renegotiate the mortgage rate. And it was right after 206 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: the real estate collapse back in two thousand and eight. 207 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: So we built a new house and then we wanted 208 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: to renegotiate the mortgage rate. But all the banks are 209 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: paranoid because of what happened, And it took us nine 210 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: months to get the new mortgage rate. Months and we 211 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: were sending over it the same forms and answering the 212 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: same questions over and over and over again, and guys 213 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: would come to the house and you had to go 214 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: through it or you couldn't get the better interest rate. 215 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: So I don't understand. The bank's never complained about Trump 216 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: goosing the value of his properties, The insurance companies never 217 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 1: complained about it. He apparently paid all the money back 218 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: on those mortgages and loans and insurance policies. So what's 219 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: the crime. Who's the victim? Isn't it the bank and 220 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: the insurance company's responsibility. I mean, ever, when you ever 221 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: got a mortgage rate, didn't somebody come over to the house. Yes, right, 222 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: And sometimes they'd say, oh, we can't, we can't. You 223 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: can't borrow this much money because the house isn't worth 224 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: that much. And they have they have a formula, And 225 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: in all the coverage on this case, nobody's explained this. 226 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: Like if you go to a bank and say, all right, 227 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: let's say just to use big round numbers, so it's 228 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: easy to understand, let's say, I have a million dollar house, 229 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: but I want to borrow two million. I want two 230 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: million dollar mortgage. Well, they're not going to give me that. 231 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna come to the house and say, this is 232 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: only worth a million, so we'll give you a mortgage 233 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: eighty percent of a million. They're not going to give 234 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: me two million. Even though I ask, and I could say, well, 235 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, this is a six thousand square foot house. 236 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: They come over and they go, no, it's a three 237 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: thousand square foot house. Where do you get the other three? 238 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: So what's weird is the banks didn't do that, the 239 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: insurance companies didn't do that. And this is from twenty 240 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: eleven to twenty twenty one, ten years of him taking 241 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: out loans and mortgages and insurance policies, ten years inflating 242 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: the assets. Every time, nobody from the banks and nobody 243 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: from the Inchcore insurance company said oh, come on now, 244 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: you're full of it. It's not worth that much, it's 245 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: not that big, and then he pays it back. Anyway, 246 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: the UH they claimed that that Trump's triplex at Trump Tower, 247 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: the place he lived in, was thirty thousand square feet. 248 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: That's what Trump said. It was eleven thousand square feet. Well, 249 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: how hard is it for the bank to send over 250 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: an employee to measure it? How do you miss the 251 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: other twenty thousand square feet? And then his company used 252 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: the phony figures to pump up the value of that 253 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: triplex from from eighty million to three hundred and twenty 254 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: seven million. Well, I mean, you could try to do that, 255 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: but it would never occur to me that you could 256 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: get away with that. Now I realize what's going on here. 257 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm not an idiot. You know. His name was Trump. 258 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: He was the king of New York, and the banks 259 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: and the insurance companies really wanted to do business with him. 260 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: That went on for decades. That's how he ended up 261 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: with all those bankruptcy's in Atlantic City because the banks 262 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: wanted to lend him a lot of money, and then 263 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: when he couldn't pay back the loans, they had to 264 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: lend him more, you know, like he was too he 265 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: became too big to fail. But as far as that 266 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: being fraud, and he's got pay three hundred and fifty 267 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: million dollars, how how is the bank and the insurance 268 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: company defrauded when they had every opportunity to check and 269 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: never complained about it and got all their money back. 270 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: And does this survive on appeal or am I missing something? 271 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: I don't know? We come back. I'm gonna give you 272 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: details on our Thursday show that we're gonna do from 273 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: Anaheim at the Honda Center, and we're gonna be down 274 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: there with Todd Spitzer. It's to major revision of Prop 275 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: forty seven. I've been talking about it all week. Also, 276 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: Carl Demyo has some events so that you could sign 277 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: the signatures to revise Prop forty seven, and he is 278 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: going to be on next to tell us about those 279 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: events that he's doing. 280 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am 281 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 4: six forty. 282 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: We're on the radio from one until four. Then after 283 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: four o'clock we become a podcast that you could listen 284 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: to all night and all weekend. Anything that you missed, 285 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: listen to the whole week's worth of shows. Very busy week. 286 00:16:54,840 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show on demand. All right. By the way, 287 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: I am not crazy. I'm just going through the stories 288 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: about the Trump case. He's in order to pay three 289 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. His defense was exactly what 290 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: I said, which I knew but I you know, his 291 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: defense was that this law was written in nineteen fifty 292 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: six and had never been used, and it was written 293 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: to go after fraud when there isn't a victim. And 294 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't see the point of that, but it was 295 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: on the books. And it looks like Letitia James, the 296 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: attorney general, who's crazy anti Trump, they just searched every 297 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: single law in New York state history and found this 298 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: thing and got a friendly judge. This does look like 299 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: a political hit. I don't care what you think about Trump. 300 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: This this this really does look like. This looks like 301 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: they're trying to destroy his bi this so they destroy 302 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: him as a candidate. You take a law that's never 303 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: been used from nineteen fifty six, claiming that it's fraught 304 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: against an insurance a set of insurance companies that never 305 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: complained against banks who loaned him money, and they never 306 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: complained and they were fully paid back, and it was 307 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: their responsibility and the insurance responsibility to see what the 308 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: square footage was or what the value of the assets were. 309 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: And they didn't care. That's the thing. They ply. They 310 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: probably knew that Trump was inflating it. They didn't care. 311 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: They figured Trump was good for the payback and that 312 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: they'd make more money on the interest. All right, let's 313 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: get Carl Demyo on here. Carl, is you know about 314 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: our Honda Center event on Thursday to get signatures to 315 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: revise Prop forty seven dramatically? Well, Carl has a lot 316 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: going on with his organization. Welcome, How are you John? 317 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. Okay, tell us what your 318 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: organization is doing about this Prop forty seven repeal and 319 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: a few other things that you're involved with. 320 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 5: Sure, so reform California. You know, obviously we're trying to 321 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 5: lead the fight to recruit candidates, back candidates, back ballot 322 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 5: measures to take back our state from the insanity of 323 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 5: the far left. And this repeal of Prop forty seven 324 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 5: is so important because we have taken away with Prop 325 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 5: forty seven the ability to prosecute and arrest, arrest and 326 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 5: prosecute criminals. That's why we have a crime wave happening 327 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 5: in California. While nationwide crime is down, in California, we're 328 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 5: the opposite trend. Our crime is spiking, property crime, violent crime, 329 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 5: drug crimes, all of these crimes are increasing because Prop 330 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 5: forty seven literally legalizes all forms of crime that used 331 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 5: to be able to be dealt with, and it has 332 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 5: led to this situation. So we want to make crime 333 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 5: illegal again in California, which is why we're backing the 334 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 5: repeal of several provisions of Prop. Forty seven that have 335 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 5: enabled an empowered criminals. And we need to get a 336 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 5: million signatures to get this thing on the ballot. And 337 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 5: I know you guys are holding your event coming up 338 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 5: next week and that's at the Honda Center next week. 339 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 5: I believe it's the twenty second of February, and then 340 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 5: we're holding We're holding about thirty events, one tonight in 341 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,239 Speaker 5: Palm Springs, tomorrow in Carlsbad and San Clemente.

We get to vote the way we want 372 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 5: to vote, but at least we know what we're voting on, 373 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 5: and we can sign a petition to crack down on 374 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 5: the crime wave. 375 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: Do you know what makes me crazy is repelling Prop 376 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: forty seven should not be a political issue where we 377 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: have to break into groups and labels. You have all 378 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: the criminals and the crazy people running the streets. Nobody 379 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: wants that. 380 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 5: They totally agree, But apparently the Democrats want it because 381 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 5: they refuse to reform Prop forty seven, even though they know, 382 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 5: they know that criminals have thrived under this policy. And 383 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: police officers they are just so worn down because they 384 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 5: know that no matter what happens, if they arrest someone, 385 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 5: if they if they detain someone, that Prop forty seven 386 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 5: means that that criminal is not going to get punished. 387 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 5: They are going to continue to reoffense. 388 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: I live on the West side of LA I know 389 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: plenty of Democrats, so I have plenty of Democratic friends. 390 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: I've always been an independent all my life. I never 391 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: joined a party. I don't know anybody who's happy with 392 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: the crime wave and the homeless wave in Los Angeles. 393 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: Everybody's unhappy with it. So what you're talking about is 394 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: specifically Democratic legislators in Sacramento who don't care what people 395 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: who vote for them care about. 396 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 5: No, I agree, this is the hidden issue. I think 397 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 5: of California politics is border security and the crime wave. 398 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 5: Both are linked together, and of course I believe that 399 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 5: because we're a sanctuary state, we're literally harboring and protecting criminals. 400 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 5: Democrat voters and independent voters when it comes to the 401 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 5: issue of public safety, they agree with Republican voters and John, 402 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 5: for the life of me, I don't understand why more 403 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 5: Republican candidates are not running on the issue of public 404 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 5: safety and border security because it's a super majority issue. 405 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 5: It's a seventy percent issue. For goodness sakes. If we 406 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 5: can get the signatures on this Prop. Forty seven repeal measure, 407 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 5: whether they go to your event next week on the 408 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 5: twenty second at the Honda Center in the afternoon, or 409 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 5: they come to one of my barbecue events throughout southern California, 410 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 5: if we get this on the ballot, we're going to 411 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 5: be able to give the tools back to police officers 412 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 5: and prosecutors to keep us safe. 413 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's anybody normal that doesn't want that. 414 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: I think everybody normal wants the police and prosecutors to 415 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: be able to put the criminals in jail. I just 416 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: have to run into a person who embraces this stuff. 417 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: And I can't believe that the legislature gets away with 418 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: this for ten freaking years. But I think it's hitting 419 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: a tipping point this year. All right, very good, Thank 420 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: you Carl for coming on. 421 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 5: Thanks Sean. 422 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: All right, and that's Carl Demayo and Reform California is 423 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: the name of his organization. You can look up on 424 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: the internet and if you live in the San Diego 425 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: County general area, he really does have about twenty events 426 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: coming up between now and March third, and it is 427 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: about giving you free barbecue, some free beer, and telling 428 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: you exactly what's on the ballots and you could fill 429 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: out your ballots in advance before a primary election day 430 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: in March. And this look, I'm just trying to appeal 431 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: to the normal people. I'm not interested in hearing any 432 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: more of these parties in political debates. They're annoying. Just 433 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: vote for putting the criminals in jail. That's a good thing. 434 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: Getting the vagrants off the streets, that's a good thing. 435 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: Let's just focus on those two because is tough in 436 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: a lot of neighborhoods, good neighborhoods, poor neighborhoods, all kinds, 437 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to be this way. This was 438 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: this was self inflicted. People were deceived ten years ago 439 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: with Prop forty seven, and we can fix that and 440 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: just quickly.

He has about twenty events so 460 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: you could sign the Prop. Forty seven revision referendum. And 461 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: this is so much in the news, and they're getting 462 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: so many signatures so fast that those dirt bags and 463 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: Sacramento that created this situation have a new bill. They've 464 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: entitled the Well let me see if it's the official title. 465 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: It's being headlined as the Theft Reduction Act. Now I 466 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: immediately got suspicious. Why Sacramento is suddenly on this day 467 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 1: when we're in the midst of a massive signature drive 468 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: to repeal forty seven, on this day they have decided 469 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: to attack retail. Well, Blake Charlie is covering this story 470 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: and he's going to explain it to us for KFI 471 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: News coming up after two. Have you ever wondered what 472 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: month you're going to die in. 473 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 2: I haven't wondered what month. I wonder what's going to 474 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: be the cause of my death. 475 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: Well, do you know statistically you're more likely to die 476 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: in the winter time than any other time of year. 477 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 2: Is it just because of depression? I mean, is that suicide? 478 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 5: Well? 479 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: I have a theory. Okay, well let me set this up. 480 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: I'll tell you my theory. So Washington Post had this 481 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 1: story that caught my attention and what month are you 482 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: most likely to die? And it turns out that it's 483 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: because it was spurred by one reader, a woman named 484 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: Laurie and Silver Springs, Maryland. She wrote to a writer 485 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: at the Washington Post, Andrew Van Dam, and asked Van 486 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: Dam that there seems to be noticeably more celebrity deaths 487 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: and obituary notices and deaths of my family members and 488 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: friends in November, December, and January. That's what this one 489 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: woman noticed about life. And does the day to back 490 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: it up? And it does. January is the deadliest month 491 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: in America. They looked at research going back to nineteen 492 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: ninety nine, so you got to get twenty five years here. February, March, second, 493 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: and third, December is fourth, So all four main winter 494 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: months are the top four months you're most likely to die. Okay, now, 495 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: I think because apparently the numbers really start ramping up 496 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: Christmas Week, and the worst day is New Year's Day. 497 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking that's because you're stuck with your family 498 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: for several weeks. 499 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: So your family gives you a heart attack. 500 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: Yes, that's exactly the stress and the tension of being 501 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: with a bunch of crazy people who spend the whole 502 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: week arguing and drinking. People start saying, I can't take this. 503 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 2: What about the people that don't have families and still die? 504 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: They die loneliness? Okay, either way, you're right now. I 505 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: also think some people die around New Year's because it's 506 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: a new year, and you start, you know, people get 507 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: reflective and nostalgic, and you start thinking, oh my god, 508 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: another one of these years. 509 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 2: Again again, I've got to go through this. 510 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: You don't think it's because they party too hard on 511 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: New Year's and they die on New Year's I think 512 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: that has something to do with it. But while you're partying, 513 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you're trying to trying to numb yourself. So 514 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: twenty percent more people die in January than in August. 515 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 2: Well, in August, you know, it's the end of summer. People, Relax, exactly, 516 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 2: You're on vacation, you're at the beach. 517 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're all you're extended family, or. 518 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 2: They're all gone, they're on vacation, they're on vacation. 519 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think I think family kills you. 520 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if I subscribe to your theory. 521 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: You don't think so, I don't. 522 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 2: I mean family, Yes, it can be annoying. 523 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: Sure, well yeah, but if they come and you're spending 524 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: two weeks with them, I think that's enough to put 525 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: you in Another thing is people tend to die in 526 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: colder weather because your body is not as is not 527 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: as resilient in colder weather, especially as you get into 528 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: middle age. That makes sense, Yeah, it's it says here. 529 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: It says like heart disease, respiratory infections because there's a 530 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: lot of stress on your blood vessels when it's cold, 531 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: they narrow and if you start exerting yourself in cold 532 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: weather like back East, guys were dropping dead all the 533 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: time from shoveling snow. Like you never lived back East, 534 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: did you. Oh that was the biggest warning in the world. 535 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: Anybody over fifty, their wives and kids would yell, no, 536 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: you can't shovel snow, dad, You're gonna drop dead.

As temperatures drop, the 545 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: blood vessels contract and as they narrow, your heart starts 546 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: to work harder, your heart rate rises, your blood pressure rises, 547 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: clots become more likely. So you know, if if you 548 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: don't have a good clean system to begin with, like 549 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: if you're all placked up, uh huh, then yeah, that's 550 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: the moment you go down. 551 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: And when you're stuck in your home in the winter 552 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 2: months where there's snow and it's freezing and you don't 553 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: want to go out and you're arguing with your spouse, 554 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 2: maybe your you know, your blood pressure goes. 555 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: Up and well, yeah, your immune system is compromised, and 556 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: then it's more likely you get the flu or you know, 557 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: some other respiratory disease because you know, the cold spread 558 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: indoors during the winter.
