You should be 31 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: familiar with them, and you know, we'll just keep trucking on. Now. 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: This is entirely my personal issue here. Okay, this is 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 1: not something I'm sure any everybody in the world cares about, 34 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: but I think everybody has experienced this. If there's some 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: way we could stop this. So I I have a 36 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: small home studio setup that I could do the radio 37 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: show from. I've had it for many years. Most people 38 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: who do talk shows have one of these. Some people 39 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: do all their shows from home. I rarely do. I 40 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: did it more often when my kids were small because 41 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: there were so many you know, schedule scheduling, conflicts. But 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: and I had I had old equipment that was run 43 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: through an old computer, and I wanted an upgrade, and 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to move into a different room. And so 45 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: Eric Sklar is helping me out. I ordered some equipment 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: for this new home studio. And I ordered three microphones, 47 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: three mic stands, three mic cables from this company that's 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: in Westlake Village, so Los Angeles area company. I'm not 49 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: going to mention their name yet. This is this is easy. 50 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: So I ordered it early last week. The box came. 51 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: I brought the box in. Eric came down to the garage. Right, yep, 52 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: chok out his I don't know where you have a 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: boy scout knife for something. I just use my key. Yeah, 54 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: well looky and he opened up the box. It was 55 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: a big box. It was a big box, but there 56 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: seemed to be little product inside. It felt very late. Yes, now, 57 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: all three microphone cables were there, yep. There were no 58 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: mic stands. Zero and one out of the three microphones, yep. 59 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: And there was nothing. There was no other box. It 60 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: was all supposed to be in one box because there's 61 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: a label that says it weighs thirty seven pounds. And 62 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: that box did not weigh thirty seven pounds. Weighed about 63 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: five pounds. Yeah, so there's a problem yesterday, and this 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: happened like probably Friday last week. So yesterday I call 65 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: this company and I got mister friendly customer service Rep. 66 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: And he made it sound like this is not a problem. 67 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, I get him all the information. He said, 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: all right, it's you know, the problem in shipping. You know, 69 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: they made a mistake, or maybe it's an invoice problem. 70 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: There might be a second shipment coming and they didn't 71 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: send you the invoice for that, because then I had 72 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: the email, I had all the order number of that, 73 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: and I paid for it already. And he calls. He goes, 74 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'll check on that and i'll call you back. 75 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Never calls back. So today, this all happened on the 76 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: way to work. And forgive me if I explode into 77 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: little tiny molecules. 78 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: Oh. 79 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: I talked to this second guy, and Customer Rep. Number Two. 80 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: I give him the same setup and he says, well, 81 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: I can tell you that you know, we're going to 82 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: have to do a ten day investigation. What do you 83 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: mean a ten day investigation? Ah, Customer Rep. Number One 84 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: didn't mention that he said he'd take care of it 85 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: right away. Well, no, that's not the way it works. 86 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: We have to do a ten day investigation and then 87 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: what Oh, then we've got to determine, you know, what 88 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: happened to it. So you're I'm not going to get 89 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: this for probably about three weeks. Well, you know, after 90 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: we determine what happened to it, how we resolved the issue. 91 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: I go, there's no issue to resolve. You didn't put 92 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: the equipment into the box and you shipped it out. 93 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: We opened it up and found these five pieces missing, 94 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: So send me the equipment today. Oh, we can't do that. 95 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we can't. What do you mean you can't 96 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: do it? Well, that's not our policy, and I said 97 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: we uh. And this is where I said, well, we 98 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: opened it up and it wasn't in there. I understand. Uh, 99 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: oh I understand. Oh that that that's the customer service phrase. 100 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: I said, I know, you understand. I'm sorry about this. Ah, 101 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: there's the other phrase, I'm sorry about this makes me livid. No, 102 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: you're not sorry. No, you don't understand. You reading that 103 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: and I start to. 104 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: Say that I always do that too. 105 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you said, I. 106 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 4: Say, please stop, please stop, reading a script and just 107 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 4: talk to me. 108 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: I don't want to hear that. Yeah, and then they 109 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: go back to the script. 110 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: The only upside is I think these people were American 111 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: because because a couple of weeks ago I had something 112 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: and it was it was the Philippines, right, And there's 113 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: really no point at yelling somebody in the Philippines because 114 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: they barely speak the language a lot of these customer 115 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: service reps. So I'm talking to the customer service rep 116 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: and he gets hostile and he goes, well that, look, 117 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: you have a choice. You could either cancel the order 118 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: or you can wait the ten days for the investigation. 119 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: I go, no, no, there's a third option. There is 120 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: no third option. Third option is you said the stuff. 121 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we can't do that. Well, why can't you 122 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: do that? Well, we have to do the investigation. What 123 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: are you going to investigate one of your guys? Well, look, 124 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: when we waited here, you know it had the right 125 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: amount of weight. Well, I know that it says thirty 126 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: seven pounds on the label. I go, well, what do 127 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: you say, are you accusing me of stealing it? I 128 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: didn't say it, I go, I didn't steal it. I 129 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: don't need to steal two microphones and three mic stands? 130 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: Or do you think I did with it? I took it, 131 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: I resold it, and then and then I want to 132 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: I want to rip you off for more product. Well, 133 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: we have to do an investigation. I understand you believe this. 134 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: What do you mean by believe this? No? No, no, 135 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: I'm telling you what happened. This is the truth. Oh 136 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: my god, I what is this?

Yeah, how long did it take for 141 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: this equipment to be sent to you? 142 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: Very quickly? Is very quickly? A matter of days? 143 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: Okay, this is what I would do. I would send 144 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 4: it back, I would make sure they paid. 145 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: For it, and I would just reorder it again.

I would send it back, say, okay, 149 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 4: send me a return slip. You're paying for it, and 150 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 4: then I would either order it again or I would 151 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 4: order it from Amazon. 152 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: Well I could do that.

So I looked up. 170 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm doing this while I'm driving here, right And I 171 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: found the corporate office, which is, like I said, in Westlake. 172 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: And I get a nice woman on the phone of receptionist. 173 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: Although I got a little animated, and she said, Mom, hey, 174 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: don't don't get don't yelp me. I'm trying to do 175 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: my best here. I gave her the whole story and 176 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: she goes, look, I'll get the director of customer service 177 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: rep stuff all right. I said, yeah, and we'll call 178 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: you back right away. I understand what don't don't say? 179 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: You understand. And I was telling these guys, this is 180 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: not hard. This is a customer saying you didn't put 181 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: the stuff in a box. 182 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: They don't trust you. 183 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 4: They think that either you are selling it to somebody 184 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 4: or somebody took it out of your box and it's 185 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 4: out of their hands. 186 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: No I don't have it. What are they going to 187 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: investigate anyway, They're gonna have some stud in the in 188 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: their shipping center. So we put it in the books. 189 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: Of course they're going to say that. No one's going 190 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: to say, no, I put it in the trunk of 191 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: my car and I ran off. No one's going to 192 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: admit to that. They're not going to be able to 193 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: track where it went along the trail of the delivery. 194 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: All I know is that box was sealed. Eric Eric 195 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: unsealed it with his knife. We opened it up and 196 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't in there. There's nothing to investigate. In fact, 197 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think I like your idea. We had 198 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: to check and see if there's video in the garage 199 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: that we could look at, because you were standing by 200 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: my car. 201 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 5: What I do? 202 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: I just can't stand this world. I just this stuff 203 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: makes me nuts. Just give me my stuff. That's what 204 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: companies used to do. I mean with Amazon, you could 205 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: ask for returns right all day and night. You could claim, 206 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: oh it didn't show up, and they just they just 207 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: roll with it. 208 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: That's why so many smaller businesses have gone out of business. 209 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 5: You're listening to John coblt on demand from KFI AM 210 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 5: six forty. 211 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Moistline is eight seven seven moys steady six eight seven 212 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: seven mois steady six. And remember we move to three o'clock, 213 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: three to six o'clock on Tuesday. All right, there is 214 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: there's breaking news. The California Post says that Arizona investigators 215 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: FBI agents have found a black glove from a roadside 216 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: near Nancy Guthrie's house, and it resembles the gloves warned 217 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: by the intruder in the video that we saw yesterday, 218 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: about one and a half miles from the home of 219 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie. And they have a close up photo because 220 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: apparently the California Post i guess was tailing and and 221 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: got video and got got photos of it. And it's 222 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: either the black glove that this h this perpetrator, this 223 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: this this visitor was wearing, or maybe another piece of 224 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: the oj case, because I think they only found one 225 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: black glove in the OJKS, right, maybe this is the 226 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: other one. In any event, they have the FBI Evidence 227 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: Response team pulling it from the shrubs in the suburb 228 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: on the edge of Tucson, but they don't seem to 229 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: have any other details. So they got a glove. I 230 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: guess they'll be looking to see if there's DNA evidence 231 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: in there, if it matches what it looks like on camera. 232 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: So did the guy drive down this road and he 233 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: started throwing evidence out the window? Was he was he 234 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: walking down the road and maybe picked up there? Who 235 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: knows what's going on? But only one glove? Maybe, I guess, 236 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, he'd separate, would separate them as he was 237 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: as he was flying down. Uh. Now, the other story 238 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: which watching TV last day because I don't watch the 239 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: news very much at all. I listen to the news 240 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: and I read the news, but I don't have the 241 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: patience to watch the news. And it's getting worse. And 242 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: it's because news coverage is often repetitive and circular, and 243 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: a lot of reporters fill their reports with a tremendous 244 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: amount of unnecessary verbiage. The people who babble the most 245 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: in TV news have the least the least to say, 246 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: and and sort of their guests or their experts, and 247 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: like I actually hate, on the rare occasion we have 248 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: to have coverage that goes on for hours where nothing 249 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: breaks endebor you know this right, and you just end 250 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: up repeating the same thing, and people, you know, speculate 251 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: with their nonsense and theorize, and you're just chasing your 252 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: tail because most of the early evidence, the early news 253 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: is wrong or very incomplete, and that that that's been 254 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: the truth in this case as well. So they pulled 255 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: over that delivery driver driver in Rico Rio, a few 256 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: miles from Tucson, and so all the news channels and 257 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: NBC interrupted the Olympics to go full bore onto speculation, 258 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: and they have all these crime experts come on and 259 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: everybody's just passing gas, right, And I realized that so 260 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: few people watched the news. It's why or interested in 261 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: the news on TV. It's why they fill up the 262 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: time and a lot of opinion shows, and then when 263 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: there's some major event, they just cover it forever because 264 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: people are tuning in and tuning out and tuning in, 265 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: so they want to know the big story and that 266 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: their little three minute window, but they actually sit there 267 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: and watch it for ten or twenty minutes. You want 268 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: to kill yourself. There was a news story I was 269 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: really interested in, which we'll get into right after Dever's news, 270 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: and it's about this shooting in Canada where students showed 271 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: up and killed nine people. Twenty five more people got 272 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: in injured and then the shooter died. But the early 273 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: coverage of it and the coverage of it today on 274 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: who specifically this person is, I can't tell you how 275 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: many different articles I had to look at before I 276 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: got the one piece of information I wanted, which happens 277 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: to be the truth. I'll tell you about it when 278 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: we come back. 279 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six. 280 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: Have you heard Tuesday?

Now. 299 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: I was talking last night about how I wanted to 300 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: learn more about the Canadian shooting because it was a 301 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: big number. It was ten people dead and twenty five injured. 302 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: It was a school shooting in British Columbia, Northeastern BC 303 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: tumblr Ridge Secondary School, and I, uh, I wanted to 304 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: see what it was about, but it was Walter Wall 305 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: coverage on Nancy Guthrie. Even though all they had was 306 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: the it wasn't even a suspect, this truly was just 307 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: a person of interest who'd been pulled over in a car. 308 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: Turned out to be a delivery driver who had nothing 309 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: to do with the Nancy Guthrie case. So not only 310 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: was there almost no information, uh there was there was. 311 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: It was a wrong id wrong suspect. He had nothing 312 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: to do with the case. And the cable channels just 313 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: went on forever about literally nothing. So couldn't find out 314 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: much about couldn't find out much about the Canadian shooting 315 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: on TV, so go online and this headline jumped out 316 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: at me, like who did it? A gun person in 317 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: a dress behind Canada's deadly at school shooting. A gun person, 318 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: not a gunman. Not a gunman in a dress. First 319 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: time I've heard a gunman described as Oh no, a 320 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: gun person in a dress. 321 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: Well, a gun woman would sound weird. 322 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: So it's a gun person. 323 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 2: Well, how about a person with a gun? 324 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: How about it is extremely rare, if ever, that a 325 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: mass shooting is done by a woman, because your species. Well, 326 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: I was going to say is much more peaceful, but 327 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: that's not entirely true. Much less violent. 328 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. 329 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: A much less deadly violent. 330 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: Right. 331 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: You don't do mass shootings. I don't, that's for sure, 332 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: Although if I had a suspect and who's likely to 333 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: blow No, women just don't do mass shootings. I'm sure 334 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: there are a few in history, but it's got to 335 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: be like a ninety eight percent hit rate that it's guys. 336 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: So that made me suspicious gun person in address because 337 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: occasionally there has been a transgender shooter, and when that happens, 338 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: the media covers it up because they don't want transgender 339 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: people stigmatized. It's like, you're in charge of giving me facts, 340 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: giving me news. You're not in charge of stigmas. You're 341 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: not in charge of what I think. After you give 342 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: me the fact, I'm in charge, I get to think 343 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: whatever I want to think, all right. So I go 344 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: looking online about the Canadian shooting and one headline is 345 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: identified as an eighteen year old. Here's another one suspect 346 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: identified in mass shooting. So I'm scrolling down through the 347 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: story and it says the suspect is an eighteen year 348 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: old Jesse van Rutzelier, Jesse van Russel, Jesse go either way? 349 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: Right then I see Ruth Leaire is believed to have 350 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: killed her mother and stepbrother and then died by suicide. 351 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: So she shot herself, and I go, wow, this is 352 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: really extreme behavior for a young girl. I mean, you 353 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: got thirty five people who were either killed, wounded or 354 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: somehow got injured in the melee, and the shooter kills 355 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: herself hisself. Well. Scrolling around, scrolling around, and finally I 356 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: hit pay dirt. Finally I found a news entity willing 357 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: to tell the whole truth. Had to go overseas, had 358 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: to go to the Telegraph, which is a UK based 359 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: paper at a school shooter was transgender teenager? How about 360 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: that identified as a transgender teenager and somebody with a 361 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: lot of mental health problems because it looks as if 362 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: there had been repeated visits by mental health workers to 363 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: the home. So it wasn't a girl, It was a 364 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: guy in a dress only eighteen The BBC said it 365 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: was a female in address with brown hair according to 366 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: a local alert. But no, it's a guy in address, 367 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: which is why you had so many people killed, because 368 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: that's what guys do. Just shoot straight. Okay, just shoot straight. 369 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: You have a transgender male to female attempt here who's 370 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: mentally ill, has had a lot of mental health workers 371 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: come over the house, and things got out of hand, 372 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of people got killed or shot or 373 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: otherwise injured in the mayhem. I shouldn't have to go 374 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: on a hunt. This is not a game show. This 375 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: should not be a puzzle, a treasure hunt. I want 376 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: to go to a news story and you just lay 377 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: out in a few paragraphs exactly what happened, who it is, 378 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: what their makeup is. Because when you start with a 379 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: gun person in a dress, well, what do you think 380 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: a normal person is going to think? Gun person in 381 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: a dress? Okay, here we have a made up word 382 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: that's never been used before in the history of crime. 383 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: And then you point out their clothing. You normally don't say, 384 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: well a gunman in a in pants, right, gunman with 385 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: a shirt, gunman with a cap. You don't do that 386 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: unless they were something unusual, you know, gunman in fatigues, 387 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: for example, some kind of military outfit. Then you might 388 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: point out if there's something particularly menacing about the way 389 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: they dressed, so it gives you a clear picture of 390 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: what's going on here? You might have some you know, 391 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: militia guy going crazy, but gun person and address, and 392 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: then you tell me it's a woman. Except you know, 393 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: if I search overseas, I find out, well, okay, it's 394 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: a transgender thing and this person had mental problems. I 395 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: don't want it to be a wrestling match. I don't 396 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: want to get exhausted looking for you know, basic facts 397 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: of the case. And this is what. And then I 398 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: got to start wondering, Okay, how many other stories do 399 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: I read? Is vital details suppressed because the details are 400 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: not compatible with progressive culture, not compatible with progressive journalism. 401 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: There's so much covered up. I mean, they've they've had 402 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: this in Europe when when they let in all those 403 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, like in Germany in certain cities and apparently 404 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: rape cases shot through the roof, and the news media 405 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: would not publish that this was because of the rampant 406 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: immigration that came out of the Middle East. They made 407 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: it sound like it was unruly German men all going 408 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: crazy and raping and attacking women at unprecedented levels. No, 409 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't. It was unwanted visitors who didn't have the 410 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: same cultural boundaries that the German Boys had. We will 411 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: continue three o'clock. Ready for more taxes? Do I do 412 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: this segment like three times a show?

And they made a 499 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 3: right angle and kinch to the hose in a sense 500 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 3: that made it look like it would be difficult for 501 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: water to get through in an emergency. 502 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 7: Last year, with the same reservoir offline, the deadly Palisades 503 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 7: fire ripped across the community. If we watched as firefighters 504 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 7: lost water pressure and hydrants ran dry. 505 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 6: What we're going to be doing is replacing that cover 506 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 6: with a brand new cover that should give us at 507 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 6: least twenty years of service. 508 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 7: City in Water officials Tuesday discussing the massive project, saying 509 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 7: repairs to the critical reservoir should be finished by winter. 510 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 6: We have people, says't in water tankers that will be 511 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 6: available if the fire department needs them for any particular reason. 512 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 7: Do you feel confident this whole work Absolutely not. Miles 513 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 7: and miles of hose now the last line of defense 514 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 7: for fire in the community already devastated. 515 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 3: Pray that we have low winds and can use air drops. 516 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 3: God forbid there's another fire anytime soon, Because you know 517 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 3: these people are. 518 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 7: Trying to rebuild, so this could be the community's last 519 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 7: line of defense if there's a fire. We reached out 520 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 7: to LEDWP for a response on that possible kink. 521 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: So far, we're still waiting to hear back. That would 522 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: be Genie. Yes, a kink. You know everybody's got a kink. 523 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: I have a cake. I'm sure you have a cake, right, 524 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: what's your kink. I'm not going to tell my kink publicly, No, 525 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: unless you tell yours. 526 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 2: I don't have a kink. You don't have a kid, 527 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: don't Oh no, I truly don't. 528 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: You really know? You just haven't discovered it yet. Maybe 529 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: you shouldn't have a cake. You could have a kink 530 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: at home. You don't have a cake and the only 531 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: hose that could put out a big fire in the Palisades. 532 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: You believe they closed the reservoir again. They emptied it again. 533 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: They don't need a cover on the reservoir. That's not necessary. 534 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: The reservoir was built. I'm gonna say this and again 535 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: for the one hundredth time. It was built after the 536 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one bel Air fire where they didn't have 537 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: enough water. It was constructed beginning in nineteen sixty four 538 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: and go look at Los Angeles Times, specifically to put 539 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: out fires. It didn't have a cover from the nineteen 540 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: sixties until twenty twelve, and then somebody came up with 541 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: a regulation that you have to have a cover. Why, oh, 542 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: it might be used for drinking water, so don't use 543 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: it for drinking water. They didn't use it for drinking 544 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: water because the whole year that it was empty, nobody 545 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: had problems finding drinking water in the palace. There's no 546 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: shortage of it. This is stupid, this is bad management. 547 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: Repeal the regulation, declare an emergency, violate the law. You 548 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: have to have. Any option is better than having that 549 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: reservoir empty. And of course, oh, we have this six 550 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: inch hose. Well, what you need for with the reservoir 551 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: is the ability of helicopters and planes to scoop up 552 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: the water out of the reservoir and then dump it 553 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: on the fire. You can't do that with the hose. 554 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: And why did this woman discover the kink in the 555 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: hose but nobody from the DWP did. Huh? Why is 556 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: this idiot after idiot after idiot? All right, we got 557 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: to do the news session.
