1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, How do I sound pretty bad? Huh? It's

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: better than it was last week. Debra Marks, Mexican. COVID

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: has gotten to me, Oh you have COVID. No tested

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: negative three times with the at home test kit. But

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: I've never had a cold that took out my voice

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: like this. This is a first. Yeah, so you had

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: three sticks up the nose. Well, I swabbed myself gently. Gently.

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Oh so, Ken, maybe it's not an accurate test. You know.

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: You gotta push it up there. Yeah, you gotta get

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: it right right till now. I was up there, but

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to really slam it in there, and

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: you have to get it up pretty far. Yeah, no

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: I did. I could have looked at the test trip

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: and it didn't change color, so stayed blue. You know

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: what a lot of people your symptoms, Ken, So many

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: people don't have COVID, but they have whatever you have. Yeah,

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: these things go around. I must have gotten this at

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: the I went to a Super Bowl party because three

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: days later I started to feel it. And then there

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: is day Friday. Symptoms start to set in over the

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: weekend really bad. So yeah, that's a crowds indoors. Not

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: much ventilation that's what happened. I should have wore a mask, John,

23
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: you make fun of that. They should have wore masks.

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have worked. Maybe not. No, Yeah, so you

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: were just destined. Yeah. So, so I'm down to the

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: last part here where I'm coughing a pitt and I

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: got to still. Well, you know, Phil three, if you

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: if you have to spit up up chuck, well, you

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: clean out your sinuses and you're both glad. I'm not there.

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to get sick. I was sick enough. Yeah,

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: but you had actual COVID I did. Yeah, that was

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: not fun. I'm trying to stay away from everybody that's

33
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: that's ill because I just that was enough for me. Yeah, no,

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: I understand that. All Right, all right, we got a

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: lot of show to get to today. I just want

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: to begin with this funny story that just passed from

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: the Daily Mail. That horrible shooting at Michigan State a

38
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: week or so ago, Remember that. Yeah, A couple of

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: what would they be called executives, Deans Nicole Joseph and

40
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: Hassina Maday with the Office of Equity, Diversion and Inclusion

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt, sent out an email to all students after

42
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: that shooting, reminding them of the importance of taking care

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: of each other. It was a really heartfelt kind of

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: way to reach out to the students. We need to

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: build trust in each other and strong relationships, actively engage

46
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: respect diversity. And at the end you could tell they

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: forgot to take out that it was written by artificial

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: intelligence because these two didn't have their own natural intelligence.

49
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: They apparently they didn't feel like sitting down and composing

50
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: an actual email to the staff of the school, so

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: instead they relied on AI. Well, you know, when you

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: work all day in equity, diversity inclusion, it's pretty busy

53
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: in there. It's exhausting. Maybe they thought that the computer

54
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: could write it better than they could. Yeah, all the

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: exact words that we see, it's all the phrases that

56
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: the students are upset. I mean, I wouldn't care all

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: the students are upset, and these two have stepped down. Really, Yeah,

58
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: that's what it takes to get administrators to resign. As

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: soon as the students realize it was written by a computer.

60
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: They got angry because they thought that this was dismissive.

61
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, how fragile are they? Yeah, oh, this

62
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: is a really really sad generation, isn't it? Wait? Wait,

63
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: wait the administrators. First of all, even if they wrote

64
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: it by hand, it's just one of those fake boiler

65
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: plate messages. Anyway, they all sound the same. It's all

66
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers, blah blah blah. And I see if

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play some tragedy happened, I don't need human

68
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: resources people to say to me condolence letter. You don't

69
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: care about me. I don't care about you. So let's,

70
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's save ourselves this silly ritual. But

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: then if I got one of these, I wouldn't even

72
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: read it. But if I did read it and then

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: find out it was written by a fake computer, I

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: would find that funny better than being written by a

75
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: fake person. So I can't imagine getting angry and upset.

76
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: And these two have to resign. I yea yi, what

77
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: a fragile, silly, precocious group. Wow they yeah, they're stepping

78
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: down for now. And if they're actually leaving their posts,

79
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: but kind of suspended themselves. They suspended themselves. The school's investigating.

80
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they they should actually said that. They just

81
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: forgot to take it out at the bottom of the email.

82
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: It had a reference to the AI program that wrote it. Yeah,

83
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: it was an idiot who edited it, didn't even notice

84
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: that and left it in and says power phrased from

85
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: AI's chat GBT. I think there's there's already been a

86
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: lot of that around. There's there's new stories that are

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: that are written with these with these programs. When I

88
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: go through websites, sometimes they have a little disclaimer at

89
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: the bottom saying that this was generated by whatever the

90
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: software was. Yeah. Yeah, So this is just the way

91
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: the world's going to communicate now because these office workers

92
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: are too lazy to write their own their own messages,

93
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: so they're just gonna let them And then eventually these

94
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: people will be eliminated because what do you They've got

95
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: nothing to do all day. But what is what is

96
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: how did this generation get raised that they need messages

97
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: from equity, diversity and inclusion people, and then when they

98
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: find out that they're just computer generated fake messages that

99
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: you would get angry about it and demand resuc No,

100
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: what is what's wrong with you? They don't like the fakery? No, no,

101
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: why don't they like? Why do they care? They take

102
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: these offices seriously, but yeah, exactly, why do they take

103
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: it seriously? And why do they care if the message

104
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: is genuine or not? And what's the point of a

105
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: message anyway? Wow, the world is just unrecognizable. Can you

106
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: imagine being a nineteen or twenty years old in college

107
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: and caring about this stuff? Can you imagine that? I can't, No,

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: you would you. I couldn't think of a single person

109
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: I knew back then who I'd have any interest in

110
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: this sort of nonsense. Wow, it's like we got we

111
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: got sucked out and dumped on another planet. All right,

112
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: so we got some final Really rain is coming back.

113
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: We talked about this in December. We said, what if

114
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: that's it? Yeah, it rained into early January, and now

115
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: for the last month roughly. Remember I told you last

116
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: month there was a long range forecast that said around

117
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: mid February that you did say it back? Yeah, right,

118
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: and then they could though they're talking about light rain

119
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: in southern California, but it seems like other parts of

120
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the state we'll get hit pretty hard. In fact, there's

121
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: a story that nearly every body in the state will

122
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: be able to see some kind of snow, like on

123
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: the mountains in the background. I often see that the

124
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: San Bardino Mountains when I drive out and don't get

125
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: snow here, but you can see the mountains covered with snow.

126
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Oh it's beautiful. Yeah, I know, it can be pretty cool.

127
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: And it shuts up the droughtmongers. They now, the floodmongers

128
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: are gonna keep going, but the droughtmongers, they're they're putting

129
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: the crypt furn for a year at least in a

130
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: matter of days. The Times had one story that the

131
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: snowpack is going to melt too fast, and they changed

132
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: it three days later. No, no, no, it's melting slower

133
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: than expected, which is a good st saw that every day.

134
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: They reverse themselves in two days because they're making stuff up.

135
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: First of all, they don't know if the snowpack is

136
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: gonna melt quickly or slowly. How would they know that.

137
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: You can't do a forecast forty eight hours in advance,

138
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: so they know in two months and four months what's

139
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen to the snowpack. They're just filling space. Yeah,

140
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: it's you know, and they're trying to you know, feed

141
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: all their right. Well, actually it's more grown up versions

142
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: of these idiots in Michigan. These are fragile people who

143
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: are terrified that the world is ending. So every day

144
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: there's got to be some kind of climate change story.

145
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: Snowpac Mountain too fast, Oh, snow Mountain too slowly. Oh,

146
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: it looks like we're getting no rain for the restaurant.

147
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: It looks like we are getting some rain. Oh, we're

148
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna have lunch. Oh, we're gonna have drop. You know,

149
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: you gotta feed the beast every day. Now. I guess

150
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: some people look for that kind of news. It's not news,

151
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's just feeding some weird, emotionally distressed

152
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: bias that people have. It's feeding their phobias. It's not news.

153
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: We probably won't get a lot of rain, but it

154
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: says here it's gonna get cold. It's maybe the coldest

155
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: it'll be all winter. Some places in the upper thirties.

156
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: That most many mornings this winter, it's been the upper

157
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: thirties on the west side. Yeah, I've been often in

158
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: the loath forties. Many days of woke up it's forty

159
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: three again. I remember I had a thirty six one

160
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: morning at several thirty sevens, a number of thirty eights. Yeah,

161
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: that's been Yeah, it's been fairly common, and the nasty

162
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: winds are coming back. You're getting get blown off your head.

163
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: I know, I can't stand it. I can't stand the wind.

164
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Did you feel vulnerable? Well? And it keeps me up

165
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: all night and then I'm cranky in the morning. He

166
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: keeps you up. Yes, it's so loud. I should send you.

167
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: I took a video of the last the last time

168
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: it was really windy, and I posted on it on

169
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: social media. I should send it to you. What it

170
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: sounded like in my house. It was ridiculous. It turns

171
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: out that's another thing that keeps her up at night.

172
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: I didn't say I'm afraid of it, but it's loud.

173
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: So yes, it keeps me up and everything's rattling. It's

174
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: just Oh, it's a frigging nightmare, you know. But I

175
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: was on my deathbed. I thought of you because I

176
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: saw the movie sen and Race. Oh God, it was

177
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: running on one of the channels with the rock with

178
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous over the tops San Andrea's full earthquake

179
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: from La to San Francisco. You could ever imagine with

180
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: all the buildings crumbling. I thought, why devern Marks should

181
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: never see this. I will never see that movie. We'll

182
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: look at what's happening in Turkey and Syria. They had

183
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: that seven eighth right, and then they had that big aftershock,

184
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: and now two weeks later. I don't know how they

185
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know how to build building, Jock, And look at

186
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: that just had a six four weeks later, the well

187
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: built buildings are standing. It's it's all the cheap buildings

188
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: from that, the corrupt developers. I don't want a six four,

189
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 1: even if my house survived. You know what, John, you

190
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: don't think we have any of those here. Corrupt developers,

191
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: don't love, don't live. We'll be talking about coming up

192
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: this hour. But in modern society, there's no excuse for

193
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: building a building that collapses in a in a seven earthquake.

194
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: There's no reason for it. We know how to do it,

195
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: all right. We got more coming up, Johnny ken KF.

196
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio. I man

197
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: who drink coke or PEPSI have higher testosterone levels and

198
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: larger testicles, according to a new study. What about that?

199
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: What's the cause? I mean, what's in the coker pepsi?

200
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: Um gee, I don't know. I just read the headlineer

201
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. Is the coke drinker?

202
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: I just was reflecting in all the coke I had

203
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: I had consumed over the years, It's been a lot.

204
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: You feel more manly, I think I do. I think

205
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: this explains them my aggressiveness and hostility. I have a

206
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: lot of extra testosterones. Study the other day too, that

207
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: men's penises have gotten bigger. They're not sure that's a

208
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: good thing. It's it's not sure that's a good thing. No,

209
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: I didn't read the story either. I just read the headline.

210
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: But the growth was spectacular in the last twenty years

211
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: or something. Is that right? Yeah? I didn't know. That

212
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: must be all the coke uh Ken show news you

213
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: need to know caf I am six forty live everywhere

214
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: in the iHeartRadio app. Now you see Biden is in Poland,

215
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: Yes he is. And he did one of those things

216
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: again where he's making a speech suddenly stops and says, oh,

217
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: I grew up in this very Polish neighborhood. There should

218
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: have been an ski at the end of my name.

219
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: He does that all the time. He tries to act

220
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: like he's always grown up in the neighborhood with whatever

221
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: ethnic he did that with Irish people, not too well.

222
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: He is Irish. I think that is his background, right, Yeah,

223
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: but I mean he does this weird ethnic pander he does.

224
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: He always says, I grew up with these people right

225
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: around the corner from me. They were like brothers. He

226
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: does it to the white European group stuff. He's distinctive

227
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: in that way. No, he does very few, Yeah, very

228
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: few politicians do that anymore. H Anyway, he's obviously been

229
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: in He was in Ukraine yesterday, Poland today to make

230
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: a point. They were coming up on the one year

231
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which you wonder

232
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: just how desperate pudding comes eventually here in terms of

233
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: well he turned this around. He withdrew from the nuclear

234
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: treaty agreement we had with him, and not true, well,

235
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: he suspended Russia's participation, not that they were all that

236
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: compliant to begin with. It's a neither one of those

237
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: fake phony rituals. But now he's made an official that

238
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: for the moment they're out, which means he's threatening to

239
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: do nuclear testing again and maybe add more missiles to

240
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: his supply. Yeah, he doesn't want any limits on his

241
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: ability to show that you could kill us all but

242
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: we already had. We both have thousands of missiles. He

243
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: has thousands, We have thousands. Chinese have hundreds. I mean

244
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: there's enough to go around kill each other hundreds of

245
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: times over. But I am taking reservations for my bunker

246
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: because I still think there's a reasonable chance he's gonna

247
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: blow before this is all over. Dibbs. Yeah, I think

248
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: he might do something on Friday, the one year anniversary. Uh,

249
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good thought there, just to show

250
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: some spectacular force. There's there's people, uh a lot of

251
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: these are Republicans, seem to be uh creating some kind

252
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: of resistance to funding this Ukraine operation. I don't I

253
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: don't really understand, because if he gets Ukraine, he is

254
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: going to keep going through Europe. He's got to be

255
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: stopped now for the sake of the future. This guy

256
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: will keep rolling. That's that's what all the great dictators do.

257
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: They don't, I mean, Hitler didn't stop. You don't think

258
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: he just wants to Soviet territories back, because I thought

259
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: that's what it was about. Uh, that's how to trust

260
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: what he says. That's what he says. But what stops

261
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: him from keep going and enough, Well, that's that's another thing.

262
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: He's got to make his mark. Man. I don't know

263
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: how to make his mark on history, you know. I

264
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: I take these guys seriously. They if they it looks

265
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: like they're I mean, he's willing to sacrifice tens of

266
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: thousands of his soldiers. I can't imagine what it's like

267
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: in Russia right now. How many families are grieving. They've

268
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: they've lost, They've lost tens of thousands of their young men.

269
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: You know, these are eighteen, nineteen, twenty year olds. It's shocking.

270
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: It's shocking what the Russians put up with. And every

271
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: day he goes out and caused the Ukraine's Ukrainians a

272
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: bunch of Nazis, and the US started this war, and

273
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. He says all these wild, crazy things.

274
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: Nobody takes them out. The latest polls show that Americans

275
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: are split whether or not we should keep funding Ukraine

276
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: forty seven. So that's starting to turn too, Yeah, because

277
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: they're tiring of hearing about this and funding this, and

278
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: they're tiring. What are they doing. They're not doing anything.

279
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: They're not out there firing or what are you tired

280
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: of now spending money? I guess if they didn't spend

281
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: the money on Ukraine, they'd be spending it on what

282
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: what other nonsense would be spending it. I'm telling you

283
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: Europe's going to be in danger, and those European countries

284
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: we are bound by our NATO treaty to defend. Right,

285
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Ukraine's not one of them, no, but but it's it's

286
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: right next door, and then there's dozens of countries we're

287
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to defend. So I think let's keep him

288
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: out of Europe. Let's let him use up all the

289
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: twenty year olds he's got trying to storm into Ukraine.

290
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: Let's like, let's let's bankrupt him. I mean, I mean,

291
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: you know, Reagan bankrupted Russia back in the nineteen eighties

292
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: with the with the arms race, and so let's bankrupt

293
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: him again. There is a video we're looking at this

294
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: at newsweek dot Com. I don't know if Ray gave

295
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: us to you, John that when Biden arrived in Poland

296
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend, somebody coming down the stairs of one

297
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: of the American US government planes plummets. It is actually

298
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: pretty wild, but the video is from up high and

299
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: a little far away way. You can see the plummeting,

300
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: but you can't see who it is, And speculation is

301
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: rife that that's Biden going down the stairway to the ground.

302
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Newsweek says it isn't clear that it's Air Force one

303
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: because it's another US government plane. You know, you just

304
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: can't trust anything. You can't trust photos and videos anymore,

305
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: of which one commentator wrote, did Joe Biden fall down

306
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: the stairs of Air Force one again when landing for

307
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: his Ukraine visit? Who is this? Yeah? And whoever it

308
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: is takes down other people as they go down the

309
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: slide down the stairs. Did you watch it? Yes, I'm

310
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: waiting for the stupid thing to load. Oh okay, they

311
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: just told me I had it. They kind of. It

312
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: looks like a luggage conveyor belt. It just go flying

313
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: off at the bottom. But it's impossible. Did they think

314
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: would have gotten out the reporters? Yeah, yeah, it says.

315
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: A YouTube video by ABC does show Biden walk down

316
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: the steps to the plane without falling. So in the

317
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: video of Biden, he's alone the person that plummets down

318
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: the stairs. In the other video, oh yeah, group of people? Yeah, yeah,

319
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: probably not Biden. No, because because he'd be in pieces.

320
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: He's fragile, because he does often walk alone or pretty

321
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: much alone, down the steps of the planes. Yeah, and

322
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: doesn't he come off first. Yeah, because there's a picture

323
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: from ABC News President Joe Biden arrives at Walsaw Airport

324
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: on Monday and he's walking alone down the stairs. So

325
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: wherever that was, I don't know what little glimpse of

326
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: the body doesn't look like his body type anyway. Maybe

327
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: it's a drunken reporter. All right, more coming up Johnny

328
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: ken CAF I AM six forty Live everywhere the iHeart Radio.

329
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about the murder of that La Auxiliary bishop.

330
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: Coming up after the news at two o'clock. So what

331
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: else we know today about the man arrested in that case?

332
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: Big news from yesterday. He was such a nice man

333
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. Yeah, he was talkative and very friendly.

334
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: It sounds like more mental illness, isn't it? Check mental illness?

335
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: Another another old guy loses it. They said he was

336
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: digging up stuff in the yard at all hours of

337
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: the day and it all sorts of junk in his yard.

338
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: Maybe he was burying things and he thought the bishop

339
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: out of money, which I guess it was made up.

340
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's a lunatic. We got Blake trolley.

341
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: Come on here, what's up guys? All right, hey, how

342
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: you doing well? The stink of Eric Garcetti's administration still

343
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: lingers in the air. We've got it. Looks like a

344
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: deputy mayor is going on federal corruption charges. The trial

345
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: is beginning. Yeah, guys, So, Raymond Shannon is actually the

346
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: number two defendant according to prosecutors in the Council District

347
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: fourteen Enterprise Paid a Play scheme. Nine people have now

348
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: been convicted as part of this scheme was ran by

349
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: former councilman Jose Weezar. Big Takeaway. Chinese real estate developers

350
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: are given special treatment for bribes. This was of course

351
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: going down in Council District fourteen because that encompasses downtown

352
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: LA and that's a hot target for international real estate.

353
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: These bribes included cash, luxury, hotel stays, private jet flights,

354
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: and really you name it. Raymond Chan was supposed to

355
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: actually go on trial with Jose Wezar, but last month

356
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: Wesar pleaded guilty in this case, which now means Chan

357
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: is the final alleged member of this scheme to be outstanding.

358
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: Raymond Chan was Deputy Mayor of Economic Development from twenty

359
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty seventeen. But check this out. He worked

360
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: for this city for almost thirty six years, serving at

361
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: one point as the top executive overseeing the Department of

362
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: Building in Safety, which reviews building plans and inspects construction projects.

363
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: He's been hit with twelve charges, including bribery and racketeering.

364
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: Prosecutors state Chan helped Councilman Jose Wezar at the time

365
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: secure a six hundred thousand dollars payment to settle a

366
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: sexual will harassment claim against Wesar. This claim was threatening

367
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: Wesar's twenty fifteen election bid. We's are, according to prosecutors,

368
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: actually prevented a merger at the time that would have

369
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: axed Chan's job, So this is allegedly one of those

370
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: favor for favor situations. The Chinese developer who paid that

371
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: claim off was planning to redevelop the La Grand Hotel

372
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: into the tallest tower west of the Mississippi, which would

373
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: require Wesar's help. US Attorney spokesman Karen McAvoy says there

374
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: are other allegations against this former Deputy mayor. He allegedly

375
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: agreed to accept more than one hundred thousand dollars from

376
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: a George Chang, who's a real estate development consultant, for

377
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: official acts to benefit a project by a Chinese real

378
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: estate developer. Additionally, he a Chan allegedly facilitated a bribe

379
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: agreement in which the US subsidiary of a Chinese company

380
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: would make a one hundred thousand dollars campaign contribution to

381
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: a we Zar relative who was running or the council

382
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: District fourteen seat that covers downtown Los Angeles and Boil

383
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: Heights in some of those areas in exchange for Quasar's

384
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: votes to approve the project. Now mcivoy tells me that

385
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: campaign contribution was allegedly to Jose Weesar's wife, Rachelle Rios,

386
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: who's expected to testify here in this trial against Chan,

387
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: which again Guy's opening statements set to start at two pm. Sorry,

388
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: what is the point of him going to trial if

389
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: nine other people involved in this story either have been

390
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: convicted or played guilty, and you have Weasar's wife testifying

391
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: against him. I'm looking through the details of this story.

392
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: It's say he's got no chance. Everybody else has been convicted.

393
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: This is going to be a serious uphill battle. I

394
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: mean again, Weazar's wife's you know, they're planning to ask

395
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: her about her knowledge of those who did business with

396
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: her husband and her bid to follow Weazar as a

397
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: representative for that fourteenth Council district. And mcivoy again says yeah,

398
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: Chan's gonna have quite a few other people tied to

399
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: the case testifying against him. Check out this list. Basically

400
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: how the prosecution intends to prove its case well, call

401
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: witnesses and have them testify, including FBI agents. Some of

402
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: the people also expected to testify as Georgia Sparza, who

403
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: is who He's ours special assistant at one time, More Goldman,

404
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: who was a real estate consultant and lobbyist and fundraiser

405
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: for Who's are Kevin Keller, the deputy Mayor for Economic

406
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: Development for the City of Los Angeles, bud over him

407
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: the former Deputy Mayor for Economic Development for LA and

408
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: the former general manager of the LA Department of Building

409
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: in Safety, and so basically what would happen is they

410
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: would testify how things are supposed to work in the

411
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: city and how they actually worked under Who's are now

412
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: guys Chant is facing around two hundred years if convicted

413
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: on everything he's charge with. I'm told there's no way

414
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: he'll actually get that. His attorney says he's an innocent

415
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: bystander who got swept up as a narrative device. And

416
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, this is the last criminal case expected

417
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: in the CD fourteen. Some of the guys listed in

418
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: that clip have already pleaded guilty, so they've they've already

419
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: pleaded guilty to this scheme, and now they're they're gonna

420
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: describe Chan's rolling it. Who's not gonna part of this? Yeah,

421
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: they're legally guilty. And again, as I mentioned, this is

422
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: gonna it seems like this is really setting up to

423
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: be a real uphill battle for Raymond Chan. Um. You know,

424
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: I do want to say again this is the last

425
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: criminal case expected. There is one remaining Chinese national who's

426
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: been charged, but I'm told there's no way he's coming

427
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: over here to fight these charges of opening statements again

428
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: starting at two to three. This it was supposed to

429
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: start sooner today, but a door to the federal building

430
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: was damaged yesterday. Not sure how, but that did slow

431
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: things down. But guys, one question that I'm trying to

432
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: get answered right now. Is he worked for the city

433
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: for thirty six years, so I have, um, you know,

434
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting to really look into our prosecutors investigating his

435
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: entire time at you know, with the City of La

436
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: not just tied up in this Jose Weezer. I don't

437
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: think a guy suddenly goes rogue in his sixties. Well,

438
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: that's say my question. Yeah, I don't you know, you're

439
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: you're you're close to the big pension, you're close to

440
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: the to your retirement. Why would you get involved in

441
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: these kind of felonies and I'll put you in prisoners.

442
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: I wonder who his witnesses are. I wonder who's gonna

443
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: what his defense is going to be. It's gonna be

444
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: really interesting how this plays out. I'm told this is

445
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: gonna take two to three weeks. Harlan Braun is his defense. Yeah,

446
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: Harlan Braun is eighty Oh my god, what was the

447
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: case he was in years ago? Well, he defended one

448
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: of the officers in the Rodney King beating. Oh man,

449
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: he was He used to have Robert Blake's attorney origin. Yeah, oh,

00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm the guy's still alive and he's eighty. Huh, Well,

451
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a pay day from much and here

452
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: I guess he just gotta make up a bunch of

453
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: stuff and throw it out the wall. All right, Blake,

454

Speaker 1: Ie News. Yeah, another corruption case. This guy. You know,

456
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: this guy was the co defendant. He was supposed to

457
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: go to trial with Weazar, but we's Are made the

458
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: plea deal. Right. Why this guy's not making a plea deal.

459
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. And maybe he's convinced himself he did

460
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: nothing wrong out of his mind. I mean, I mean

461
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: he was he was teammates with Weezar. Yes, he was

462
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: the inside man in city Hall to make this work

463
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: for the developers in the bribery scheme. So I don't know,

464
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, unless they're h I had no idea why

465
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: you would do this. I mean, he's a dead duck.

466
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: If the world's normal, you never know. Does it say

467
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: how much he took from this whole scam. We know

468
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: we's Are took a lot of money, but I couldn't

469
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: see anything in his story about how much they think

470
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: that cha Chan is sixty six years Yeah, that's that's

471
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: late in the day unless he felt like he'd ever

472
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: got his share, because we's are was paid a million

473

Speaker 1: dollars by a real estate development company, chen Jen New

474
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: World LLC. Right, but it doesn't say specifically what chand

475
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: got out of this. Yeah, it's it's nine defendants over

476
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: three million dollars in criminal penalty to resolve the probe

477
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: into this real estate corruption deal. Or we got more

478
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: coming up, Johnny ken KF I AM six forty Live

479
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: Everywhere the I Heart Radio app after two o'clock. Alex

480
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: Stone for ABC News on the murder of Bishop David O'Connell,

481
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: which happened over the weekend by the husband of the

482
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: bishop's housekeeper, who also supposedly did a handymand work at

483
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: the house and felt he hadn't been paid. That's the

484
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: story floating around. What all the reports say. You know,

485
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: I saw that story over the weekend. I thought, well,

486
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: he's been involved in gang intervention, so I thought maybe

487
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: something went wrong there. Oh yeah, I had a whole checklist. Oh,

488
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: no one else he had on the list. Yeah, I

489
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: didn't have a handyman who thought he didn't get paid paid, right,

490
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: somebody that connected to the archbishop. So Alex Stone. Yeah,

491
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: we'll join us after two o'clock. The Wall Street Journal

492
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: has a pretty good opinion in today's edition, the Price

493
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: of anarchy in Seattle. The city has to pay out

494
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: nearly four million dollars to the victims of the Summer

495
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: of Love. What are we talking about. We're talking about

496
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty when outfits like CNN covered what was going

497
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: on in Seattle is mostly peaceful protests. It was just

498
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: people out there expressing their anger over violence by police officers.

499
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: It was to defund the police movement following the death

500
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: of George Floyd. In fact, the mayor at the time,

501
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: Jenny Durkin, called it the Summer of Love. The Seattle

502
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Times kept insisting mostly peaceful. Well, you're not paying out

503
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: four million dollars to the residences and the businesses if

504
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: you had a mostly peaceful summer. Here's the truth in

505
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: the federal lawsuit, there was extensive property damage, public safety dangers,

506
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: inability to use and access these business properties. There were

507
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: two murders and multiple shootings. Remember they set up that

508
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: autonomous zone. Yeah, they just took over the streets. These

509
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: were all the violent radicals, all the antifa anarchist types,

510
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: and the Seattle Mayor, Jenny Jerkin, let these these these

511
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: insane people have Seattle, and so they because they agreed

512
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 1: with them. Yeah, they agreed with them. They thought they

513
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: were important. They thought they should have their say and

514
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: their time to take over a part of the city.

515
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: And there were people there that had businesses that was

516
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: a part of the economy that was shut down and

517
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: burnt and and and rab been broken. There's the owner

518
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: of a business called car Tender that's an automotive repair business,

519
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: and they were part of the lawsuit. They said an

520
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: intruder doused it's business with hand sanitizer and then lit

521
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: a fire. The owner repeatedly called nine one one, but

522
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: police never responded to the scene that night, and an

523
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: intruder tried to stab the owner's son with a spike

524
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: and slash his femoral artery with a knife. That's the

525
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: one in your thigh. They managed to subdue the man,

526
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: but a mob of some five hundred people forced them

527
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: to release him. And again, no police, they wouldn't go

528
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: in there. This is the city. They took over the

529
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: police station, remember that. Yeah, yeah, and they just gave up. Well,

530
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: they can see the territory to them. Yeah, because because

531
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: because Jenny Durkin thought this was a proper action by

532
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: these anarchists who I became a complete right government free zone,

533
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: no police, no inference. I don't believe a single one

534
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: of them cares about anybody's civil rights or George Floyd

535
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: or racism or any of that. I think they enjoy

536
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: destroying things, and they want to destroy our country and

537
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: our way of life and capitalism and police and everything

538
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: about it. These are really sick, violent, twisted people who

539
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: ought to be put away for the rest of their lives,

540
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: and they had now politicians and journalists who are just

541
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: as crazy as they are, who cheer them on like

542
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: at some grand sporting event. They told property owners that

543
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: if they dared de pint over graffiti, their buildings would

544
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: be more severely vandalized or even burned to the ground

545
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: according to the complaint you met. You imagine all these

546
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: who are people in Seattle that had to deal with

547
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: this and completely abandoned, and they weren't heard by anybody

548
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: by the couple of media people got in there and

549
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: interviewed them, but that was about it. No, most immedia

550
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: didn't care. The idiot Durkin didn't care the rest of

551
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: the city council. The police were stopped. In fact, a

552
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: lot of police have quit since then. They weren't allowed

553
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: to do anything. And everyone that tried to shine the

554
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: light on that's all, you're just exaggerating. Most of the

555
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,239
Speaker 1: people there are just peacefully protesting. I mean, I've got

556
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: two lies I saw on TV. Listen to this. Mayor Durkin,

557
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: the former Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best, the fire chief

558
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: Harold Scoggins, and others deleted thousands of text messages during

559
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: this riot time from their city owned phones, and this

560
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: pissed off a federal judge named Thomas Zilli, and Zilly

561
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: said the court would instruct the jury that it may

562
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: presume that the text messages were unfavorable to the city

563
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: and the city has to pay six hundred thousand dollars

564
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: in penalties for all the evidence that was deleted. And

565
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: what that was basically a lot of stand down, don't

566
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: get involved, maybe cheering them on. Yeah, I don't know,

567
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. These it's the woke virus that has

568
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: infected the brains of so many people in power and

569
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: influence right now. So the most bizarre time, by the way,

570
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: it hasn't ended. Um Seattle Police Department released its annual

571
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: crime report and showed that violent crime reached a fifteen

572
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: year high in twenty twenty two. So it's been it's

573
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: been two years of violence in mayhem and insanity and

574
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: no sign that it's going to end. Yeah, that's uh,

575
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: well that's what happens when you let the inmates take over.

576
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: So people are, you know, just gonna keep moving out

577
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: of cities. I mean, there's there's there's no point in

578
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: sticking around. Uh, they want to destroy, They've already have

579
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: destroyed the city. Just go ahead, go do it. We'll

580
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: find another place to live. The suburbs look really good.

581
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: A farm looks really good. You know, I think people

582
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: have given up arguing at this crowd. It's fine to

583
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: go destroy the cities. We're getting out. We're gonna have

584
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: our life somewhere else. They did change a lot of officials,

585
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: didn't they after that. I believe the mayor changed and

586
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: the city council changed a bit. Yes, it's it's it's

587
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: more moderate now. They got a Republican city attorney. They

588
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: have a more moderate mayor. But you know, they've they've

589
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: they've unleashed once you unleashed the insanity. It feeds on itself. Um. Yeah,

590
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: they have a new mayor named Bruce Harold, and he's

591
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: definitely more moderate. I mean, he couldn't get more radical

592
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: than this crowd. No, what I mean, what is what

593
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: does Journey Durkin go on to? They should have look

594
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: that up, Like, but what does she do with the

595
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: rest of her life now that she helped destroy the city.

596
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: She's still proud of this? Is she like those radicals

597
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: you're some of them are still in prison, you know,

598
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: people like all those crazy seventies groups like the Symbionese

599
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: Liberation Army or or you know, the Manson followers. And

600
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: you see these people now, like the women are all whole,

601
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: old and haggard and gray, and the guy the guys

602
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: usually die young. They usually end up in some kind

603
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: of fight in prison and they die and they're all

604
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: grizzled looking. And it's like, is that where this crowd's

605
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: going ahead? And all the people who ran Seattle, all

606
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: these Antifa people, all these all these young guys are
