16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: workers on strike, thirty thousand of them. That's bus drivers, teachers, aids, custodians,

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: cafeteria workers, and the teachers walked off in support. We

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: get an update on the whole story. CAMFI News is

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: Chris Adler, Chris, what's going on? Hey, guys, how are

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: you doing? We're doing doing all right? Day three? Is

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: this the last day for sure. Yeah, it's the last

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: day right now. I'm at the I'm at the final

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: rally in downtown LA at the La Historic Park. Thousands

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: of people aren't here. They made their way from the

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: picket lines early this morning. And this is where it

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: ends here today. Um. They are the workers are planning

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: to return back to work tomorrow and schools will reopen.

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: And so this is what I've been told, that this

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: is the final day and this is the last rally. Guys,

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: has has any one of those strikers uttered any sympathy

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: at all for the children cut out of class for

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: three days or the parents who have been scrambling to

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: find childcare. Absolutely yes they have, um And you know,

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: and and and that's a really great point. And I

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: have been asking this question all along, um to you know,

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: asking these members and these strikes first on the picket lines,

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: how do you feel about the students missing three days

38
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: of school? You know, during COVID, we learned that a

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: lot of students found the schools to be what they

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: call a safe haven. A lot of children do experience

41
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: violence at home and abuse, and so when they go

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: to school they get this reprieve. And that's not all

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: schools enough, not all students, but there were some reports

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: of some children. And what they say is, yes, they

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: do feel sympathy, they do feel bad, but they say

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: that this is about the children. If they love the children,

47
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: and you know, they go to work every day and

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: they work these part time jobs. They do these jobs

49
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: because they love what they do and they want to

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: help the children. But they have to be able to

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: survive in order to keep getting to work every single day.

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Did anyone ever say why they don't try to get

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: another job that pays better rather than constantly constantly complaining

54
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: about the low pay. I've been here twenty seven years,

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: when I've had low paying jobs. At some point it's

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: like I'm tired of this. I'm going to go get

57
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: a job that pays more. I mean, that's normal. I

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: don't think that's a radical idea. Why don't they do it?

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: So that was one of the questions I brought up

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: during an interview with the bus drivers today, and they

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: all told me that they could go out and find

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: other job. If they could go out and do it.

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: It's not about that, they said, It's about loving what

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: they do, and they love what they do. They love

65
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: being around the kids they love, supporting them, transporting them.

66
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: They're demanding more money so they could continue doing what

67
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: they love. That's what they say. They're doing it because

68
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: it's what they love to do, and they want more

69
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: money because they're making a choice to do something they

70
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: love rather than make more money at something that's not

71
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: as psychologically rewarded. By the way, if that, if there's

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: a bus driver that exists like that, I've never met

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: him or her. All the bus drivers I've ever run

74
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: into as a kid, and for my kids, we're all

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: nasty and weird. But I don't know where all these

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: loving bus drivers came from. But okay, I have a

77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: different question for you, Chris. What is the point of

78
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: all these massive rallies they have to get in there

79
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: and negotiate with the superintendent. What are they trying to

80
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: do by standing there on street corners and gathering in

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: parks and just everybody gets up there in blasts and

82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: yells and everyone ra ros and cheers. What is the

83
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: point of all this? Well, they say that what they're

84
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: trying to do is let Carvallow hear their voices. They're

85
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: trying to show him what solidarity looks like. What teamwork

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: looks like and what it looks like when Los Angeles

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: comes together, because what they're saying is they're calling on

88
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: him to step inside of the circle, make the negotiations.

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: Hear them, hear them rallying and letting them know that

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to stand down, that they're they're what

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: they're asking for is fair. That the district has more

92
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: than enough. So when you ask, you know, why are

93
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: they why are they doing these rallies? And I don't

94
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: a the answer to that. But the union's claiming that

95
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: the district has a reserve of five billion dollars, and

96
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: the district says that's preposterous, it's more like five hundred. Oh.

97
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: I also write a detail and that a lot of

98
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: it is off limits. They can't touch a great percentage

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: of the reserve because it's restricted. So I mean, it

100
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: sounds sounds like propaganda. And I hear people marching making

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: these claims, and it's like, well, they don't know, they

102
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: don't know how much is in reserve, and they don't

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: know what the rules are and using the money, and

104
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: are they aware Chris that there's declining enrollment, that the

105
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: school's finances have been tough for some years. Now, well,

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, you guys, they say right now, you know

107
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: when there whenever there's a strike, there's a process and

108
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: it's a legal process. And what they said they're at

109
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: right now is impass and factfinding. So they said that

110
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: they've got accountants right now that are looking and doing

111
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: factfinding and looking into the books and the accounting. And

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: what they have said is that they do have the funds.

113
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: But the people who are who are actually doing the

114
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: numbers and doing the books that they're saying, yes, this

115
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: reserve is there, this this nearly five billion dollars reserve.

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: Now Carballo has come back and said no, it's closer

117
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: to five hundred million. But that is in the bridge.

118
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: It's either one or the other here. I mean, what,

119
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: it's not that hard to count up the well on

120
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: the spreadsheet. We think the district's offer, Chris has moved

121
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: up to twenty three percent. These people are going to

122
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: stand fast. They want thirty percent though they're not going back.

123
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: Is that what where do I get out of this?

124
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: So let me clarify something, guys. This strikes that the

125
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: strike that I'm at right now, this rally that I'm

126
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: at right now and the past three days, they're saying,

127
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: if not a strike, a legal strike right now against

128
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the low pay and the lack of funding. Right now,

129
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: it's about mistreatment by the district. And what they have

130
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: said is they're going to go back to work tomorrow,

131
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: but they once they go back and they have these discussions,

132
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: if they don't get what they need, they're prepared to

133
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: go on the lack of funding will be which will

134
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: be open ended. No, wait a minute, what does mistreatment mean?

135
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: How is the district supposed to correct that? They keep

136
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: saying it's about respect, not money, it's about money. Well,

137
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 1: what are they specific? Are they getting beaten in the cafeteria? Well,

138
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: they're what they're defining as mistreatment is lack of funding.

139
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: It's lack of lack of The district promises to have negotiations, retaliation,

140
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: retaliation for going on strike. So that's where they're finding

141
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: the mistreatment is. You know, when there's a union there

142
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: are they are legally allowed to strike, but they're being

143
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: threatened with job loss because of it. Well, yeah, do

144
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: we know if they're talking this afternoon? I heard there

145
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: might be some new negotiations going on. Do you know anything? So, right,

146
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: now La Mayor Karen bath Is, she's basically is going

147
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: to be mediating between the union and the district. And

148
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: I asked them, I said, do we have any solidified

149
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: gates on the schedule for discussions. They said no, but

150
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: conversations are being had right now. The buzz is going

151
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: to start getting them to sit down and get back

152
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: to the table. All right, thanks for that report. We

153
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: appreciate it absolutely, Like I stay out of trouble. Chris Adler,

154
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: CAFI News, who's been hanging out with the teachers and

155
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: the service workers at a park where they've been rallying

156
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: most of the day to get to end mistreatment. And

157
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: remember it, John, it's not about the money, it's about

158
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: respecting to change, right. Yeah, And they can they because

159
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: they think they don't want the public to think it's

160
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: about the money, because they just want more money and

161
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: their kids are suffering. Look, I would respect anybody that

162
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: wants to make more money in life. It's this that

163
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: there's a limit on low skilled jobs. You have to

164
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: be realistic. We all want more money. And good lord,

165
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: I've worked radio stations. You know they've paid as little

166
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: as one hundred and forty dollars a week for sixty

167
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: hours of work. I didn't go on strike. I got

168
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: a job at a bigger radio station. That's right. I

169
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: did not intend to stay in Bradford County, Pennsylvania my

170
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: whole life. Yeah, I get it. I was poor. But

171
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: you can, well you have to do is you have

172
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: to actively seek out better work. You drive a bus

173
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: for another district that pays more money, or drive a

174
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: bus for you know, a city. All right, we got

175
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: more coming up. John and Ken kf I AM six forty.

181
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: on demand from kf I AM six forty. Well, closing

182
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: arguments are going on. They may have even finished in

183
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: the trial of Mark Ridley Thomas, known as MRT. Which

184
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: I hear that and I always think that sounds like

185
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: a subway line. The MRT. This is the obnoxious long

186
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: time Los Angeles politician who served on the LA City

187
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Council went to the Board of Supervisors, back to the council.

188
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, this is a federal corruption case against Mark

189
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas for a quid pro quo in return for

190
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: getting his son some special considerations at the University of

191
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: Southern California that would be a scholarship, a professorship, a

192
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: job with a nonprofit. He steered money to USC School

193
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: of Social Work, tax money. The big thing here is

194
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: at the woman that on the other end of this

195
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: at USC. Her name was Marilyn Flynn. She pled guilty

196
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: to the corruption. Ridley Thomas decided to take his chances

197
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: with a jury. And what happened yesterday was the end

198
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: of the defense case. It was brief. You probably already

199
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: guessed Mark Leige Thomas did not testify of a guess

200
00:10:52,840 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: who did John co belt O, chillakul Jahn. Yes, because

201
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: they got up there and said, oh, no, he didn't

202
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: pressure us to vote for any of the USC money. No, no, no,

203
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: he didn't do anything out of the ornament. Nobody said,

204
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: nobody said he did. It's just understood. Everybody's got their

205
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: own pet projects and their own corruption, and you don't

206
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to go In course, they know the game,

207
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: Chilla Kill has her contract for her friend for That's

208
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: the same thing with the La City Council. They read that.

209
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: They don't step on each other because you want what

210
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: you want to get cured, so I'll take what i want. Look,

211
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: I've known a few of these characters in private life.

212
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: This is how it works. They they they approve of

213
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: each other's bills and each other's spending, priorities and special favors.

214
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: They do automatically without question, because you don't want to

215
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: make a public recast. If you make a public recast,

216
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: then maybe somebody's going to investigate it. You don't want

217
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: anybody to know this is going on. There's no way,

218
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: there's no way we should know that um Ridley Thomas

219
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: money launder at one hundred thousand dollars to his son,

220
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: that that he got these this scholarship and this professorship.

221
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: We shouldn't know this. But you know, he created a

222
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: big enough mess that invest investigators got wind of it,

223
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: and and you know they got they got Flint once

224
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: they got Flynn to admit her guilt. I don't care

225
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: what the jury does. We have the jury is going

226
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: to have to believe that. And I don't see how

227
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: they will that it was just a bribe and it

228
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: was the whole corruption case just on the just on

229
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: the Maryland Flynn side, that Margaret Lee Thomas was just

230
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, doing his job. Look, getting his son into

231
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: USC and giving USC contracts which they deserved and which

232
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: were good for the public. You know what. The odds

233
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: of having idiot jurors are always very high, and you do,

234
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: and you might you make at jurors who think Mark

235
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas has been a great man, standing up for

236
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: his district all these decades, and they might feel that

237
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: he's being targeted because of his race. I mean, who

238
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: knows what goes on in the heads of people, right,

239
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: That wouldn't shock me at all if it was a

240
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: hung jury. Nothing shocks me anymore. It's it's a ridiculous system.

241
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: You look at the facts of the case. It's obvious.

242
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean the emails. It's in writing. You can't argue

243
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: with the emails. They laid out the deal in writing

244
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: back and forth. She's admitted to it. There's nothing else

245
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: to do here. Everybody tries to make these cases complicated.

246
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: These aren't complicated cases. This one's easy. Three big deals,

247
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: one of them was for a telehealth clinic, one was

248
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: for some sort of probation reentry center near USC, and

249
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: one was for a probation employee training program. So these

250
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: are the deals that were steered to USC thanks to

251
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas, and in return, his son got this special treatment.

252
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: They also put up a woman who used to be

253
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: the commissioner of the FEC, the Federal Election Commission, to say, oh,

254
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: thee hundred thousand dollars donation from a campaign account through

255
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: USC to Sebastian Ridley Thomas's profit, that's legal under California law.

256
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: M it did comply with the law, she told the jury. So, well,

257
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: he's not being charged. He's not being charged with that.

258
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: That was just part of the mechanism, right, It was

259
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: part of the deal. He part of the idea to

260
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: help out the SUN. He wanted to hide the contribution

261
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: to his son. Right, So they found a method that

262
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: would not be considered illegal, but it was part of

263
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: the overall bribery scheme here because Flynn had to cooperate

264
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: in laundering the money. So again that's that's that's misdirection.

265
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: And and they also bring up a fake issue. Nobody

266
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: nobody said Han and Sheila Killer pressure. Nobody said that.

267
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: So they're defending things that they're not being charged with.

268
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: Apparently Ridley Thomas's wife got up there, even though he

269
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: did not just to talk about their son, Sebastian. He

270
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: was just not well. It was clear he needed to

271
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: do something else with his life. Oh, sympathy play from mom.

272
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: You notice the tricks they're pulling out because they can't

273
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: deny it happened. So what they're doing is playing a

274
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: distraction defense. Oh look, a mom's upset. They saw his sack.

275
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Oh look, as colleagues say they weren't pressured, they didn't

276
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: say they were pressured. Oh what, this transfer is legal.

277
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: The transfer is not the charge. It's it's all distraction.

278
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: The thing that's the vegetables in the jury. The thing

279
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: that surprised me, unless I miss something, is the Feds

280
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: did not get Marilyn Flynn to testify. I thought that

281
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: would be part of her deal, her plea deal to

282
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: give her less time in prison or whatever they did

283
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: with her. I forget that because she's eighty. In return,

284
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: she would be a key witness. I have read the

285
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: stories covering the trial, and I don't see they showed

286
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: her emails, but they didn't put her on the stand

287
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: to talk about the real truth of this, that I

288
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: was working with Mark Ridley Thomas on a quid pro quo.

289
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: He helps me, I help him, and the taxpayers don't benefit.

290
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: She didn't, though, it's a bit surprising. Maybe they just

291
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: couldn't get her to do it. I don't know. I

292
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw anything not that I saw, no, no,

293
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: but I think if she had testified, that would have

294
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: been pretty big on the coverage. And I've looked at

295
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: the coverage. Although this story went dark last week because

296
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: he's the other bigger things going on with the storms.

297
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: The email the emails tell the story though, and that's

298
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: in writing. I guess they decided that should be strong

299
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: enough for the jury. Yeah, and it should be. It's

300
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: only going to depend on the temperament and intelligence of

301
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: the jury, right. You know, if you've got some Mark

302
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas fan up there, then it doesn't matter. You know,

303
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: if they got pictures of him naked with a goat,

304
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: he won't get convicted. And if you got somebody who's

305
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: just too stupid to understand what's going on, there's nothing

306
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: you can do about that. Apparently what was key was

307
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: a letter. They even put a former Mark Ridley Thomas

308
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: staffer up there, a woman named Emily Williams, a confidential

309
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: letter from Marilyn Flynn that was hand delivered to Ridley

310
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: Thomas's office, and the prosecutors say it was a central

311
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: part of the whole case, laying out Flynn's requests in

312
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the alleged quid pro quo. She said she recognized the

313
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: letter from a twenty seventeen meeting when Ridley Thomas called

314
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: her to his office, but she didn't say anything specific.

315
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: This is the office worker. So yeah, I don't know.

316
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: And and notably, the defense didn't call Marilyn Flynn up

317
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: to try to poke holes in her oh plea, Yeah, yeah, no,

318
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I think they want to keep her away

319
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: from the jury. As you know, I don't know what

320
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: they're hoping for. I mean, Ridley Thomas is an incredibly

321
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: stubborn mule, and it may be that most other politicians

322
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: in a similar situation would just pled guilty and hope

323
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: for a reduced in some way. He may have been

324
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: one of these, you know, because his ego is one

325
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: of the largest egos I've ever encountered in my life.

326
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: It's his sense of self importance and pompousness. And I

327
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: met him. I actually hosted a political night once where

328
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: he was speaking to people. Yeah, I did a question

329
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: and answer thing with him. So I've met him up close,

330
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: and he is he's so full of himself. I'm amazed

331
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: he hasn't burst. All Right, we may have a verdict.

332
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: It could be tomorrowly because it's Friday, I say that,

333
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: but we'll see. The jury is going to get the

334
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: case soon. John and Ken caf I AM six forty

Speaker 1: and Ken on demand, So listen to anything you missed.

340
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: The quick update on the trumptent is basically nothing u

341
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: The New York DA Alvin Bragg has actually been accusing

342
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: Trump of spreading all the word about being indicted, and

343
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: the grand jury did not meet to discuss the Trump

344
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: indictment again today, so nobody knows what any of this means.

345
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: And you know, if it was a ployed by Trump

346
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: to get attention. It certainly worked. Yeah, and maybe collect

347
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: money and maybe have good values. But there isn't There

348
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: is an investigator. There's a grand jury investigation going on.

349
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: There were witnesses, but whether or not they an indictment

350
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: was imminent appears to be very questionable. Now they hadn't

351
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: voted yet. The grand jury asked to vote, right, but

352
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't need it's twenty three people on

353
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: the jury and you don't need it unanimous. Right, But

354
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: it may not be. They're ready to vote this week.

355
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: Rice made it sound like tuesday he was going to

356
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: be arrested. That was his pick announcement, right. He It

357
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: works every time he does it. Every time he manipulates

358
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: people into a frenzy. It works. Everybody goes for it

359
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: where they were. U google his name and you know,

360
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: up on the side comes a quick biographical profile and

361
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: of course it mentions politician and businessman president of the US.

362
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: It's just funny. He gives his age where he was born.

363
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: Then he scrolled down awards n M E Award for

364
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Villain of the Year. That one just kind of stood

365
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: out to me. What's the nm NMM let's see who

366
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: they are band lab Nmmy Awards twenty twenty hero A

367
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: Villain of the Year awarded. I don't know who they are,

368
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: but I don't care. Took a joke. We have another

369
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: one of these um columnists that decided that what they

370
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: were going to do to see how bad it is

371
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: is ride a metro train in La County. In this

372
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: case it's the gold Line Training. His name is Larry Wilson. Oh,

373
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: he's a wiener. I haven't read his stuff. He's one.

374
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: Oh he's very precious and delicate. Oh yeah, well, you know,

375
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: he said he hasn't ridden the trains in over three

376
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: years because he was afraid of call. You wouldn't go

377
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: into a bus or a train during car Oh yeah,

378
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: I guess you're writing. And then he goes in there

379
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: after hearing all this, all this publicity about all the

380
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: drug addicts and the stinking homeless, like, oh my god,

381
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: they were right, look at this. That's kind of what

382
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: happened till though he did not feel he did not

383
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: feel unsafe. I saw no crime. I was never afraid. However,

384
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, he writes, from the moment you get there,

385
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: everything smells like pee. There's trash everywhere, and he gets

386
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: down on the train and two guys are passed out,

387
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: slouched over in their seats, bruis cut, battered, sunburned. They're

388
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: homeless drug addicts. But you see, he felt sympathy. That

389
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: was the difference. Look if you walk into a car,

390
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: and later on he said, out of the nine people

391
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: in the car, four we're homeless. Okay, now, if you

392
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: have these four drugged out homeless people. No, I don't

393
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: feel safe. I don't know what, Larry Wilson. It's not

394
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: even about safeness. It's probably gonna smell. It's just nice, disgusting,

395
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: get out of place you want. And I don't feel

396
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: unsafe because because guys on street drugs are extremely erratic,

397
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: they could wake up and have some kind of impulse,

398
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: some kind of surge, and you know, I'm but I

399
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: want to I want to say something beyond that. See

400
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: what we're getting here, and what I got here was

401
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: the normalization of the behavior. Homeless people are our neighbors,

402
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: they're part of our community. They ride on the trains

403
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: with me. I'm not afraid they're gonna stab me. I realized, John,

404
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: you just said they could. But I want to put

405
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: this in a different category of where I'm ticked off

406
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: at this writer. No, we're not going to normalize this. No,

407
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be dirty, unshaved, smelly people riding the train,

408
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: slouched over, passed out from the drugs. I don't care

409
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: if they don't stab me, I don't. They don't belong there.

410
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: It's a quality of life thing. It's pretty simple. And

411
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: I think quality of life is damn important to people. Obviously,

412
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: not being stabbed it's more important. But no, I think

413
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: this rides a nice second. And this man's trying to

414
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: think it sound like, well, they're not gonna kill anybody,

415
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: so they're just part of life now. No they're not right,

416
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Well they're not. That's what I'm fighting again. Sure, And

417
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: the guy who ran for DA in San Francisco had

418
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: an interview and a tweet about that this week, and

419
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: their whole thing is, oh, come on, it's not that bad. Yeah,

420
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: And you know what the whole attitude is now, And

421
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: this is what going on for years, truly driving me crazy.

422
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: And it's this whole idea of giving people injection sights

423
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: and standing by with Marcan. Let's all accept this. There

424
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: are gonna be homeless drug addicts amongst us. They are

425
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: part of our community right now. If they stab you,

426
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: are right, maybe we'll arrest them. But that's not the case. Here.

427
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm taking this down a notch and saying, all right,

428
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: maybe they won't commit any crime, but it's still a

429
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: quality of life issue and you've got to clean it up. Yes, Scott,

430
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: this is what This is what bothers me more than anything. Yes,

431
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: you're right. Like San Francisco guy saying they break into

432
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: your car, Well that's life in the big city. Homeless

433
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: drug addicta passed out in the corner. Well, he's not

434
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna hurt you, lah alone, No no no, no, no

435
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: no no no. What you what you've allowed as a

436
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 1: degradation And I don't like that. That's where I am.

437
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: And there's more normal people who feel like we do

438
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: than these freaks who write these these absurd columns for

439
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: the La Times or San Francisco politicians. Did the normal

440
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: people have to take control? We'll look at his last sentences.

441
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: Or if our society could find homes for the homeless,

442
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: we'd be in a better place. Oh, come on, boy,

443
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: that is lame. This is a housing firstity. That is

444
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: like something you write in middle school. Everything is our

445
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: fault and our problem. We they responsible vagrants who can't

446
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: get their act together. It's our problem. Find them housing,

447
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: give them needles, standby with nar can get out of here.

448
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I am so tired of reading this and it's exhausting

449
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: after a while. I know, get every day though, every

450
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: freaking day. You read this stuff in all the major

451
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: newspapers every day. Right, we're being let down this road

452
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: where well, you know what, people are always going to

453
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: be drug addicted. We can't beat that, so we just

454
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: have to wait to manage it. No, we dined. Everybody

455
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: knows it didn't exist this publicly just five to ten

456
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: years ago. It didn't. No, all right, And one of

457
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: the main reasons it's so widespread, maybe the single important reason,

458
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: was that they stopped saying no, you can't do that here,

459
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: you cannot do it, you can't lay here, you can't

460
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: do your drugs here, you can't defecate here. You stopped

461
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: saying no, and people started feeling guilty for saying no.

462
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: All right, more coming up, John and Ken KF I

00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: directly for the John and Ken show. A lot of

471
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: people are doing that way good crystal sound. But if

472
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: you want to use the phone, we always will. Just

473
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: use a good phone. Some people, I don't know, they

474
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: sound like they're underwater for they're drunk. Maybe they are.

475
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: One eight seven seven Moist eighty six is the toll

476
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: free number to leave a message for the Moistline. One

477
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: eight seven seven six six four seven eight eight six. Well,

478
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: we now return to the world of the deadly Well, yeah,

479
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: they are in some cases. The deadly eye drops this story.

480
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: We talked to say something about that. I haven't said

481
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: anything yet. Yeah, I've bet heard it on the news

482
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: several times today. I want to go through my life

483
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: without hearing the phrase she had to have her eyeball removed.

484
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: But that's what's happening, I know. But that that really

485
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: bothers me, Is that right? Yes? It really unnerves me.

486
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: The idea that people had to get their eyeballs removed.

487
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, it just makes you uneasy. It just make yeah,

488
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: it makes me just very emotionally distraught. Well, on a

489
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: much smaller scale, a lot smaller. I can't stand the

490
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: word nugs. It's driving me crazy. Nugs. Well, apparently that's

491
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: the short for the chicken nuggets you can get at

492
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: McDonald's or Wendy's. I never heard that. There's a commercial

493
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: that runs on the station, and every time the guy

494
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: says nugs, I just shiver, and I'm like, can't you

495
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: just use the second syllable nuggets? What is stupid word? Well,

496
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's hip to shorten things to use,

497
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, like people text, but you think the letter

498
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: of that. It's started with just a simple lol. But

499
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: now is everything else than TX? Thanks? We actually are

500
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: losing our ability to communicate. Just don't say nugs. I

501
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: don't know why I shiver. It's just horrible. I hate it.

502
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: It's that a body part. It's short for nuggets, which

503
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: is also kind of disturbing. But I had my nugs removed,

504
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: all right, Well, all right, well I'll try not to

505
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: mention too many eyeballs being removed. I don't know why

506
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't bother me. But the USA Today talked to

507
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: h Clara Oliva, who got an infected right eye from

508
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: the eye drops, and she apparently she's sixty eight years old.

509
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: She is one of the people that used and apparently

510
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: it's being sold under a number of different company names,

511
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: but most of it comes from India based Global Pharma Healthcare.

512
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: They are the maker of something called ezra Care artificial tears,

513
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: prescribed for people with dry eye. This woman says that

514
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: she apparently needed to use eye drops because her contact

515
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: lenses left her eyes very dry, so she's been using

516
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: eye drops. Unfortunately for her, she got a hold of

517
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: this brand. The suit names ezra Care, Ezra RX, and

518
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: Aru Pharma, the US based distributor of the drops. They

519
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: were recalled in early February. The CDC. The CDC and

520
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: p SORRY linked them to an outbreak of Wow, this

521
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: is a tough one to all this Latin pseudo arigonosa

522
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: that's the bacteria, and they believe that so far it's

523
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: infected at least sixty eight people in sixteen states. Three

524
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: have died, eight people vision loss and all right, John

525
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: I'll put it differently. Four reports of enucleation. Okay, that's

526
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: removal of the eyeball. But you said it, I didn't.

527
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: All right, It's called nuclation, So all right, okay, So

528
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: this bacteria is rare, but it is very drug resistant,

529
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: and it had not been seen in the United States

530
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: before last year. So this one's coming from India. So

531
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: somehow it dropped into the lab where they start to

532
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: manufacture these eye drops. I wonder, I wonder how that

533
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: happens in the solution or that what do you quote,

534
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: like a big industrial batch, something that's never been seen before,

535
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: but you know, Asian it seems to be the origin

536
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: for a lot of these strange infections. Remember that doctor

537
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: his name is Stephen Quabe talked about last hour, who

538
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: did his own research on COVID nineteen. Yeah. One of

539
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: the things he said is that he thinks that we're

540
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: in bigger trouble from the possibility that they're going to

541
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: come up with these viruses that spread easily and kill people.

542
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: He's worried that about that more than nuclear bombs, because

543
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: he thinks that this could be devastating. And he also

544
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: believes that yeah, they did, they did, Uh, what's it

545
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: called chain of function or gain a function research? Right?

546
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm absolutely to me. In my mind, the

547
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: whole origin of the COVID virus is settled. It's clear

548
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: what happened, and it's clear that there's corruption going on.

549
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: There's cover up to protect Faucci's reputation. But he sent

550
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: our tax money to go enhance it, and they were

551
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: screwing around with it, which is what scientists do. And

552
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: they're doing this in this country too. We have labs

553
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: that have been doing the same gain of function research

554
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: for COVID and other viruses as well. This is quite common,

555
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm with the doctor. I think

556
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: eventually something like that is probably going to be the end.

557
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna get unleashed. It wouldn't be surprised if somebody

558
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: right now has taking the bird flu and working on

559
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: a way to make it much more susceptible to kill humans.

560
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: They can themselves. They they if they can do it,

561
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: they will do it. And they'll always have a converse saying, well,

562
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, all the Chinese are working on this, so

563
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 1: we have to do it too, and so we can

564
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: come up with the right vaccine or the biological weapon.

565
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: I think all the big nations work day and night

566
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: and biological weapons. Well, this poor woman eventually had to

567
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: have her cornea removed replaced with donor tissue. Oh, but

568
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: eventually they had to remove the whole eyeball. Her right

569
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: eye was surgically removed and replaced with a plastic implant. So,

570
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: because of decreased visual acuity in her left eye, she's

571
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: considered legally blind. She's only twenty two hundred and her

572
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: remaining left eye. She continued to use the eye drops

573
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: in her left eye until January when her clinic called

574
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: to tell her to stop using the drops and throw

575
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: them away. So she didn't know that that's what was

576
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: causing her eye problems. Yeah, and she heard about the

577
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: recall on the TV news segment, and then she learned

578
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: about the possibility of the bacteria. Nobody's ever heard of

579
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: the bacteria. This has never happened before, No, I know.

580
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: That's what worries me. It seems like we have a

581
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: new thing, and now we have this fungus that's a loose,

582
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: that's a sickening people to another, a fungus story. Fungus

583
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: to spreading in the hospitals. Yeah, yeah, I know Noah's

584
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: and and it's all seems to be resistant. It's antibiotics.

585
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: Everything's volved down to withstand all the drugs. Right, That's

586
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: what organisms will do. They mutate. Yeah, I know, it's terrible.

587
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: Don't leave the house, stay home. A lot of disease

588
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: out there conways here. Hey no, hey, no, hey know. Hey,

589
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: there's a really a great story where a Southwest pilot,

590
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: a captain passes out midflight. Do you see that story?

591
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: Passes out midflight, and then a passenger riding, you know,

592
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: a captain riding as a passenger on that flight helps

593
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: to a one. Yes, a big story. Big story just

594
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: happened about year and a half ago. You got the

595
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: right date on this, alright, Dean Sharp is coming in.

596
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: That guy's cool. We'll talk about the houses and stuff,

597
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: and then dryer air dryer weather is but dry dry dry.

598
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. But there's talking about ring next

599
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: Tuesday Wednesday. On Tuesday Wednesday, yes, but for the next

600
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, twenty four hours. We don't have to worry

601
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: about that. Son's coming out tomorrow, right, and then the

602
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: Manabello tornado is I has is protesting that they're talking

603
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: about him too much. They want people to stop doing that.

604
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, the tornado came out and said we've

605
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: had I've had it. Feelings are hurt. That's right, Oh man,

606
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,440
