1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Cobalt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We have a military strike. 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: As you may have heard if you've been listening for 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: the last half hour or so, we are now striking 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: sites in Syria against Iranian militants or Iranian backed militants, 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: as they say, this is in retaliation for a drone 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: strike on an American base in Jordan last Sunday. Three 8 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: US service members were killed. Those three arrived in the 9 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: United States their bodies just a short while ago. They 10 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: had what's known as a dignified transfer ceremony, very solemn 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: ceremony as the bodies are returned to the United States, 12 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: and President Biden attended there. He was watching as the 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: dead service I think one man, two women were carried back. 14 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: Dozens of other troops were wounded. It was forty plus. 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: This happened in Jordan, near the border with Iraq and 16 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: Syria and Iran. Iran has been hitting United States targets 17 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: over one hundred times in the last months ever since 18 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: the Hamas War broke out, and we haven't done much. 19 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: We well, we've stopped most of the missile strikes with 20 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: our defense systems, but we haven't struck back until today, 21 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: there is not much information. Most of the news sources, 22 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: they have a two line story that US officials say 23 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: that we have begun military strikes in Syria. 24 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: Hey, John, Yes, So ABC is now running a correction 25 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: saying that the air strikes may not have come from 26 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: the US. So here is some new information that's just 27 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: coming in. Have no idea if this is correct or not, 28 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: but that's what ABC News is saying. 29 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: Well, that's weird because most of the networks in their 30 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: two line story attributed it to a US official. So 31 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: anything's possible. 32 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 3: Anything is possible. 33 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: But what is interesting about this is CNN is not 34 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: running the story at all. I noticed that, right, and 35 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: so Fox News has an ABC seven, right, the ABC 36 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: News has as well. But now ABC is sort of 37 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: walking it back, saying that it may not it wasn't. 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't the US air strike. 39 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: Right, So they've got Well, Iran has seven different militia 40 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: groups scattered around the Mid East, most of them designed 41 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: to shoot things at Israel, and they've been shooting at 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: our ships in the Red Sea and a lot of 43 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: cargo ships in the Red Sea. So there's a lot 44 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: of intramural warfare that goes on. You know, most of 45 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: the countries in that region have military operations and they're 46 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: firing at each other, if not at Israel, and so 47 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: in the first few minutes when something happens, it's hard 48 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: to tell exactly who did what. There's a story from 49 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: NBC News that had come out this morning that US 50 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: forces have multiple targets to pick from as they prepare 51 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: a response to the three deaths in the drone attack 52 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: in Jordan. But Washington has been talking about this for days, 53 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: and according to NBC, the militant groups have had plenty 54 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: of time to ready themselves. Well, everyone is expecting the 55 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: US to strike, and in fact, there's been one hundred 56 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: and sixty attacks against the United States, one hundred and sixty, 57 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: and we have done very little in response other than 58 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: set up fire off the defense systems to intercept the missiles. 59 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: Well, this is what the correction now says. An initial 60 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: battery of strikes in Syria did not come from the US. 61 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: Sources say US strikes are still anticipated. 62 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it says a rock and Syria are home to 63 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: hundreds of Iran linked military sites, so they have plenty 64 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: of plenty of targets, and they've been taking days, obviously 65 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: to analyze and set up what they think is the 66 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: proper strategy to attack. Why various networks had this report 67 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: from the US official and who that person was, we 68 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: don't know, but because everybody's on edge wondering if this 69 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: is the beginning of World War three. Because Iran funds 70 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: everything there. Iran funds Hamas out of Gaza has Bellah, 71 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: which is based in Lebanon to the north of Israel. 72 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: Then you know, the huties you may have heard have 73 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: been firing missiles at all the cargo ships in the 74 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: Red Sea, and it goes on and on and on. 75 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: And we of course had a very las fair attitude 76 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: for the last few years against Iran. If you remember, 77 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: Trump had had a crackdown six billion dollars worth of assets. 78 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Iranian assets were frozen, they had heavy sanctions against them, 79 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: including the sale of oil, and we lifted the economic 80 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: sanctions on them and we gave them back their six 81 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: billion dollars, and we were trying to negotiate with them 82 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: so that they could continue their nuclear projects, which seems 83 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: like a really bad idea because the Iranian government is 84 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: they're the enemy, and I didn't understand this constant appeasement, 85 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: the constant Oh, what do you need. You need money, 86 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: We'll give you money. You want to sell your oil 87 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: and goods, well we'll let you do that too. I 88 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: want to work on nuclear shore, go right ahead, What 89 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: the hell are you doing? And they arms length with 90 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: their attacks on Israel, but they're one hundred percent funding 91 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: all these all these billets and groups, and they've had 92 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: for decades, so don't I don't understand the Biden philosophy 93 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: at all makes zero sense today. I've never heard a 94 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: good explanation other than well, let's be nice to them 95 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: and maybe they won't kill everybody, which is, you know, 96 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: really really silly. My limited knowledge of world history is 97 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: appeasing evil regimes never works. If you act weak, they 98 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: get strong, If you act strong, they back off. I 99 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: think we all learned that fifth grade, fourth grade, you 100 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: got bully nations. I mean, obviously, if we wanted to 101 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: wipe out Iran, we could, and you think they'd know it. 102 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: But the way they've been, you know, shooting missiles here, 103 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: shooting missiles there, I mean one hundred and sixty in 104 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: the last four months. I mean, maybe that adds up to, 105 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, one or two a day, and these were 106 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: the first real casualty. But it's it's ridiculous to appease 107 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: them any longer, and we do. They deserve a good smacking. 108 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: So I hoped they've got something ready. Maybe this wasn't 109 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: the attack, but the attack should be coming very soon. 110 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: All right, Well continue, If we get any more information, 111 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: we'll pass it along. We have a huge rainstorm coming 112 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: to LA. Talk about that. 113 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 114 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 4: six forty. 115 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: ABC News and Fox News was running with the story 116 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: that we had started retaliatory strikes against Iran. 117 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: And now CNN is reporting that as well, and. 118 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: So is the New York Times, and their story is 119 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: five minutes old. Yes, so, as it was being reported 120 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: that Fox and ABC were withdrawing the story, New York 121 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: Times posted the story and it's a short one. US 122 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: conducts retaliatory strikes in a Row and Syria against Iranian proxies. 123 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: And uh, this is according to US Defense Department official. 124 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: But you know what, the Associated Press, which is kind 125 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: of our guideline, have heard nothing from They're holding out. 126 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: They have not There's been no word of any strikes 127 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: in Syria from. 128 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,119 Speaker 1: The AP seems to be a split decision. Yes, Fox 129 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: and ABC we're in. Now they're out. New York Times 130 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: is in. 131 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: Uh now Fox if you look at it right now, 132 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: Fox News who just right? They just backtracked what they said. 133 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: Now it says now retaliatory US air strikes against Iranian 134 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: targets in Syria and Iraq. 135 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: So they're back in. 136 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: If you look at the TV screen, that's what it 137 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 2: looks at. 138 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: Looks like, yeah, hold on, I yet they got the 139 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: long channel on here. I have somebody put on HGTV 140 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: here in the studio. 141 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 3: You need Fox and CNN and that. 142 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know I got to see normally have Fox too, 143 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: but somehow I got HGTV. Well, yes, what you saw 144 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: is what I'm seeing as well. So let's see we 145 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: got Fox, CNN. It's like a vote, right, it's up 146 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: for a media vote, and New York Times all reporting it. 147 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: Something must have happened. This didn't come from no. 148 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: Something did happen. Explosions have been heard in Syria. So 149 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: the big question is is this the US? 150 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: Right? 151 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: Are these airstrikes from the US or not? 152 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: Right? And that's why two of the networks had briefly 153 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: retracted the story because there was uncertainty as to who 154 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: fired the missiles. I well, well, you know, well we'll 155 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: find out as time goes by. Here. I mean, everybody 156 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: was waiting on this to happen ever since last Sunday 157 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: the drone hit in Jordan and killed three of our 158 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: service members whose bodies were taken back to the United 159 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: States today, and they had a special what they call 160 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: a dignified transfer ceremony. It's very very moving ceremony, very 161 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: quiet ceremonies, absolute silence. And President Biden was watching. He 162 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: was there, and they have been working on plans all 163 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: week because there are hundreds of potential sites for the 164 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: US to strike all over the Middle East. Iran has 165 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: at least seven militias. They act as a proxy. They're 166 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: fully funded and fully armed by Iran, and they're the 167 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: proxies that create mayhem, largely against Israel, sometimes against the 168 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: United States and against They dropped the missiles in the 169 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: shipping lanes. What's interesting is that the strikes that killed 170 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: those three service people, the only reason we didn't block those, 171 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: because we've blocked almost every strike, is that at the 172 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,359 Speaker 1: Jordanian base, they thought the incoming drone was an American 173 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: drone returning to the base, and there was some confusion. 174 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: We thought it was our drone. It turned out to 175 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: be one of the Iranian drones, and that's why they 176 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: were able to fire missiles and wound forty plus soldiers 177 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: in addition to the three that were killed. 178 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: Okay, John, we just have heard now from the Associated Press. 179 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: Now the Associated Press, who we've not heard from at all, 180 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: says that the US military launched an ariosault on dozens 181 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian backed militias. 182 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so here we go. So I guess everyone's in 183 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: agreement now. Now, if iron itself starts firing back, or 184 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: if anyone aligned with Iran starts firing back, then this 185 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: could escalate very quickly. Or are they just going to 186 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: take their medicine for having killed our three service people 187 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: and then quietly slink away. That'll be the next step 188 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: to see what happens. I wash I was reading that. 189 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: I think CNN had this story that the Hooties they 190 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: fired a missile at a US warship and nearly hit 191 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: the ship. It happened in the Red Sea, and we 192 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: were down to our last resort defense system were there 193 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: probably were force. It was four seconds until the missile 194 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: was going to hit the ship, and we had one 195 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: maneuver left, and it's called the flanks close in weapon system. 196 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: It was deployed by a Navy destroyer against a cruise 197 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: missile that was a mile away and it was going 198 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: six hundred miles an hour, and so obviously it was 199 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: just a blip and the flank system was able to 200 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: fire a two to three second burst of gunfire and 201 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: disable the missile. Of course, the missile probably burst into 202 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: hundreds of pieces, which is also dangerous, and you know, 203 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: some of the debris could have reached the ship, but 204 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: I guess there was no real real damage to it. 205 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: But this this has been going on now for months, 206 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: and it's the first time that that the Iranian militias 207 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: were able to cause real casualties for US. Because of 208 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: the confusion, we didn't know whether it was RA drone 209 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: or an Iranian drone, but they came very close within 210 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: within the last week. So if you're just joining us, 211 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: the US has begun an airstrike campaign in Syria and 212 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: Iraq to fire back at Iranian targets after they killed 213 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: our three service people. Now onto the weather here, we're 214 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: supposed to get at least six inches of rain. I 215 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: have been going on various weather websites, and it looks 216 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: like it looks like Sunday alone could be four to 217 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: six inches of rain, plus more on Monday. And it's 218 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: going to start Saturday night. And when it depends where 219 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: you are, let's just say that the Los Angeles basin, 220 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: you know, from the west side and downtown that region, 221 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: we're going to get whacked really hard. Some areas could 222 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: see ten inches of rain, and you can get several 223 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: feet of snow up in the mountains. So this is 224 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: going to be one of the biggest storms we've had 225 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: in recent years, if everything comes to pass the way 226 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: they say it would. I saw a satellite photo of 227 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: the storm and it was centered out in the ocean, 228 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: northern Pacific Ocean, and it had a tail and it's like, oh, swoop. 229 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: It actually almost looked like a hurricane. It was had 230 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: that circular shape with a long swoop of thick clouds 231 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: and precipitation all the way from Canada all the way 232 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: south to Mexico, almost almost the whole length of North America. 233 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: So this is going to be big. It's going to 234 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: be windy, there's going to be flooding, there's going to 235 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: be very high tides. So Sunday is going to be wild, 236 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: and so will Monday. All right, we'll continue with more stuff. 237 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: It's not an arc storm, though, which is what I 238 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: wanted to get to next. There was this whole flurry 239 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: of really absurd new news coverage. Every time I turned 240 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: on the TV, I saw this arc storm story, and 241 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: it was the idea that we were getting a one 242 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: in a thousand year storm. And all the profect meteorologists 243 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: were trying to beat back this story all week because 244 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: it was nonsense. This is not a thousand year storm. 245 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: One woman posted online. One woman posted online. Now it's 246 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: not a meteorologist, she has got no connections to the 247 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: meteorology world, but she just posted it, and because people 248 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: are so anxious to read disaster news, it spread like 249 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: crazy millions of people, and then the news media jumped 250 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: on it. And it's total nonsense. I'll tell you the story. 251 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: It's actually a fascinating story about how stupid life is 252 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: with social media. 253 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am 254 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 4: six forty. 255 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: We are going to talk now with two women, Lucy 256 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: Ch and Audrey Nafsinger, and they both were victims of 257 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: George Tyndall, the gynecologist at USC You remember his case. 258 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: It went on for years, hundreds of female patients sexually abused. 259 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: Two hundred originally stepped forward to reporters abuse. Finally he 260 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: was arrested and charged with twenty nine felonies in Juna 261 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, but years went by and there was no 262 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: actual court case, and now he died and some of 263 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: the survivors of his abuse, even though they have settled civilly. 264 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: Both women are represented by Manly Stewart and Foodaldi. They 265 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: were part of that eight hundred and fifty million dollars settlement, 266 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: but they're angry that that Tyndall's story isn't going to 267 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: be made public in detail through the court system. And 268 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: we're going to talk now with Lucy Ch and Audrey 269 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: Nafziger about how they feel now that they're because now 270 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: they've officially dismissed the case because Tindall is dead. Let's 271 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: get Lucy and Audrey on. Welcome to the joh On 272 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: Cobalt Show.

Well, Lucy, 278 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: you can start off. It's me. When when did you 279 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: suffer at the hands of George Tindall? We don't have 280 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: to go through the whole detail. I think everyone knows 281 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: the story, but just give us a time frame as 282 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: to how long you've been moving. 283 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was Fall of twenty twelve, so it's been 284 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 6: almost twelve years. 285 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: And you were a student at USC at the time 286 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: I was. 287 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 7: I was a grad student there. 288 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: And Audrey, when when did you suffer at the hands 289 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: of Tyndall? What year? 290 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 5: And what was your in the nineteen nineties? So I'm 291 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 5: one of the earlier survivors. I was in the law 292 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 5: school my first year. 293 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: Of law school nineteen ninety. Isn't it stunning? Twenty two 294 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: years apart in the two you had to suffer from 295 00:18:59,119 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: Tyndall's abuse. 296 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 5: Well, USC could have put a stop to that, and 297 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 5: they chose not to. 298 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, and then finally he gets charged in June 299 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen and never really had a trial, did 300 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: we No? 301 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 6: A lot of delays Lucy was. 302 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 5: In the did A prelim. She was one of the 303 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 5: victims because she was within the statute limitations. 304 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 7: But this case should not have taken five years criminally. 305 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 5: It should have been done in two years three maps. 306 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: What did Tindall have going for him that he was 307 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: able to get away with this for so long and 308 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: then even ultimately evade a conviction. 309 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 6: Well, he had the power of USC behind him, That's 310 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 6: what he had. 311 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 5: Yep, that's what he had. That's exactly right, and had 312 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 5: the two of them. 313 00:19:54,440 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 8: USC has strong ties to the DA's office in the 314 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 8: city of La. 315 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 6: So we're wondering if that's something to do with that. 316 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: So this was during the Jackie Lacey era. We can't 317 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: even blame this one on gascone. This goes back to 318 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: Jackie Lacy's behavior. 319 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, Jackie Lacy slow walks the case. And I 320 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 5: think you guys exposed that on your show way back when, 321 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 5: and it was shortly after you exposed it that she 322 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 5: filed the charges the very next week after saying she 323 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 5: wasn't going to file the charges for it even longer. 324 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: And you think she was just protecting her Alma matero 325 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: there and all her friends and connections. 326 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I think there's an inclination to protect USC. I mean, 327 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 5: she's an SC law Alu'm just like I am. I'm 328 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 5: sure they're aligning in our pockets with election money. This 329 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 5: case wasn't handled like you would normally handle a case. 330 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 6: Why is that? 331 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 5: I mean, the only variable that's different is it a USC. 332 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: Audrey? Now? According to your uh what the information I have, 333 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: you're a senior deputy district attorney or here in La County. 334 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 5: I work in Ventura County. I've been doing my job 335 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 5: for twenty nine years. 336 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you've been on the on the inside 337 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: for a long time here. Yeah, Well what how quickly 338 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: should this normally have been taken care of? If there 339 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: hadn't been let's say, a conflict of interest, the prelims 340 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: should have. 341 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 5: Been done within six months and then a trial within 342 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 5: a year after that. I mean, I know COVID happened 343 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 5: and that caused problems, but this case was absolutely slow walked. Uh. 344 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: Lucy, did you ever talk to any administrators or officials 345 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: at USC and ask them why has this gone on? 346 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: Because by time you had your encounter with Tindall obviously 347 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: had already been going on for more than twenty years, 348 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: did you did you ever confront anyone, did anyone ever 349 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: run away from you or try to explain what's happened 350 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: all this time. 351 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 7: What's actually strange is that the opposite happened to me 352 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 7: When when I saw Tindall, I was terrified and I 353 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 7: ran out of that clinic. 354 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 8: As fast as I could. But the staff at the 355 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 8: clinic followed me out and asked me if I was 356 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 8: okay and specifically asked multiple times if I want to 357 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 8: report what happened. And I was so scared and so 358 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 8: shocked that I didn't do anything. But this is after 359 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 8: he is exactly what was going on. 360 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: This is after he assaulted you. 361 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 8: Yes, immediately after he assaulted me, I ran out of 362 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 8: his a big XAM room and as the clinic, and 363 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 8: there were staff there that saw what happened, and they 364 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 8: heard what he was doing to me, and so they 365 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 8: chased me out of the clinic to make sure I 366 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 8: was okay and to ask me many times if I 367 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 8: wanted to follow report. They knew and it was a 368 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 8: coordinated effort by the staff. There were there were at 369 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 8: least five or six people as I was running out, 370 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 8: and it was a very short Quardor. They all approached me. 371 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 5: So he was well known. 372 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, he was. 373 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 8: He was definitely well known, and the staff were definitely 374 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 8: told what they could and couldn't do, and they I 375 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 8: think they were trying to protect me as best as 376 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 8: they could within their within their own limits. 377 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: That's astonishing that they were so aware and immediately tried 378 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: to help you out, but nobody in the administration at 379 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: USC would do anything about it. That's yeah, really strength. 380 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 5: Uh the administration, the administration paid him two hundred thousand 381 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 5: dollars and signed a mutual nondisclosure agreement. So that's what 382 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 5: they did when they when they got rid of them finally. 383 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Audrey, did you have any any experience like that 384 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety. 385 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 5: Uh, Well, let me just say that he took a 386 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 5: lot of pictures of me. 387 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 6: He hurt me physically. 388 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 5: I'd never seen a gynecologist before. He knew he took it. 389 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 7: He took advantage of my naivite. 390 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 5: A lot of horrible things happened during that exam. And 391 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 5: I think he'd only been on a job for six 392 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 5: months to a year, So no, nobody was trying to 393 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 5: protect me.

It's not like you 396 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: can't hire another gynecologist. I don't understand how they could 397 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: knowingly keep a guy and he's blatantly doing it. I mean, 398 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: women are running out, screaming, and and this went on 399 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: for what like thirty years? 400 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 6: I stayed here. 401 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but why not fire him and get another gynecologist? 402 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 6: The good question? 403 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I wish. 404 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 6: I wish they had. 405 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 5: It would have been so much better for all the 406 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 5: women after me. 407 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 408 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 7: It makes you wonder, makes you wonder what he had 409 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 7: on them? 410 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was saying, What did he have 411 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 1: on them?

And you have to 425 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 5: keep in mind no other university with a naughty doctor 426 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 5: has made survivors go through depositions the Naser case.

That story just broke a little over an 453 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: hour ago. All right, you know, I know I gave 454 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: you a choice, right, yeah, you did, all right, but 455 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: I'm recommending the Let me amend one of the stories. 456 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: How about the story about the sex crazed monkeys. Oh? 457 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: I like that one, you do? 458 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Thousands of monkeys have taken over a city 459 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: in central Thailand, the town of Lupbori, thousands of them, 460 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: and I have photographic evidence here. 461 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 3: You have evidence of monkeys having sex. 462 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: No, they're they're just they're just invading in this photo. 463 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: But here's the story. They they they've always been around 464 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: and they used to live with the residents in harmony. 465 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: These are maccocks, I think, because I pronounce them. And 466 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: the tourists would buy bananas and feed the macocks and 467 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: pose with them. But then the lockdowns happened and the 468 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: tourists disappeared, and these monkeys were starving for food and 469 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: it made them, I guess, just permanently crazy. And now 470 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: they run in large gangs and they've taken over several 471 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: sections of the city. The police have have declared some 472 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: neighborhoods no go zones because the monkeys are so aggressive. 473 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: They have now broken up into gangs and they have 474 00:28:54,040 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: the gangs are at war now. The locals started feeding 475 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: them junk food to keep them happy and keep them away. Well, 476 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: you know what happens. What if you give the monkeys 477 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: sweets and they were feeding them, you know, sweet snacks, 478 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: fizzy drinks, cereals. It makes the monkeys hyper and more 479 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: sexually active. They're horny, yes, So now you have thousands 480 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: of really horny monkeys running around. The ones who aren't 481 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: engaging in war against the other gangs are engaging in 482 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: sex crazed sex. Yeah. Sugary foods increase the productivity of 483 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: the monkeys and stimulate the monkeys to reproduce more. Is 484 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: this true with women? Is this what? I don't know. 485 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: You'll have to pull them. You don't need too many sweets. 486 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 3: Dude, I do not. Okay, well, actually I do, but 487 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 3: I'm not commenting. I take the fifth. 488 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: Female monkeys can reap produced twice a year. Imagine that. 489 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: But if they're given sugar, they have an abundance of energy. 490 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: So I don't know if that speeds up the process 491 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: or they could just go right back into it. As 492 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: soon as they give birth, they're ready to go again. 493 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: And so you know, we were in Africa once and 494 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: some monkeys and I don't know what breed it was, 495 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: but they broke into our hotel room. Seriously, my wife 496 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: and I had one hotel room and my son's had 497 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: one next door. And I walked into their room and 498 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: I caught a couple of monkeys had come through. They'd 499 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 1: left the sliding door open on the balcony and they 500 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: were in there and they were about to run off 501 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: with my wife's purse. 502 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: Oh no, did you say, bad monkey, bad monkey? 503 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: I said, stop? And well, yes, they didn't steal the purse. 504 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: And it was close. I mean he had his hand 505 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: on the strap, but they stole a bag of Chipsahey cookies. 506 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: We saw them clamber off the balcony into the trees 507 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: behind us, and one guy was sitting in the tree 508 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: and you know the chips away is that bright blue 509 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: bag fleet toward open And he was flinging the cookies 510 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: to all his friends like frisbees. So he's tossing them 511 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: here and there, and they're sticking out their their paws 512 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: and grabbing them. And it was this huge cookie party 513 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: that they had so there but they didn't see. Now, 514 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if they got sexually active out of that, 515 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: I could have started an orgy. So it's your fault 516 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: then might have had inadvertently a monkey orgy from this. 517 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: The monkeys are hungry or more aggressive than before, and 518 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: and a lot of businesses have had to shut down 519 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: and move and investors have stopped investing in that in 520 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: these stretches, shoppers have vanished entirely because there's three thirty 521 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: five hundred of these. 522 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 2: So what do we need to feed the monkeys to 523 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: get them, to get them to go away, to get 524 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: them not so horny and not so crazy. 525 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: Well, you can't feed them sugar, right, They tried that 526 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: that that experiment went bad. 527 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 3: Maybe you need to give them some broccoli. Yeah, that 528 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 3: may calm them down. 529 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: That'll depress the sex drive real fast. 530 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 3: Maybe they need some edibles to go to sleep. 531 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody has ever had broccoli to get 532 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: to get in the mood. 533 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 2: No, I'm saying to counteract that, because we don't want 534 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 2: here's a plane of broccoli. 535 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 3: Who I'm saying the opposite? 536 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: Does that work on you? You eat so much broccoli? 537 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: I thought, well, well maybe it does. Maybe it does avocados. 538 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: You never know, broccoli and avocados together. 539 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there you go. All right. We're gonna talk 540 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: to Tom McClintock next. He had a bill past four 541 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: twenty two to two and it said, I if hamas 542 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: Terrists enter the country, well they can't. They're not allowed 543 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: to enter, and if they somehow sneak in, they get 544 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: no money from the US government. Not a controversial idea, 545 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: except he did get two novos. We'll talk to him 546 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: about this whole bill and maybe what's going on.
