1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah, okay, I can usually tell when

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: you have something to say, but I thought you did there. No, no, Now,

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: how about what it's? How about you know what I

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: just said? Oh everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Okay, it

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: was simpler than I thought. Yeah, yeah, how about that

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: we are? It's that he's amazing. Isn't that a great thing?

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: You still the app? And there we are. Isn't it cool?

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: You can see us, We're running around talking, have fun.

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: We know you look forward to this. Monday at five

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: is the hour of candidates? Do you look forward to this? John?

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I know you. I look forward to everything. Dude, a

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: very cheery mood today. It's nice. We will give you

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: thirty seconds of precious KFI airtime to make your pitch

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: for office. That's Monday at five oh five is when

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: we open up the lines. They will be locked off

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 1: until then, So don't call early. Don't try to get

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: in line at like four thirty. It's not gonna happen.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get through it. Ram ramp, ramp. I'm

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing that. Yeah, that's a real pleasant sound.

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: The number, you can jot it down because we don't

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: often give it out. I think it's been months since

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: we took actual listener calls, hasn't it probably? Well, you

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: know I was gonna do because I was gonna maybe

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: we'll do this next week. Talk to people that have

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: given up on working. Did you see the story? You wait,

26
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: do you think you could rouse them to dial the phone?

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: M that's a good point. Yeah, I'd like the labor numbers.

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: It came out today. The number even increased more men

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: twenty five to forty four who were not participating in

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: the workforce. It jumped again a little bit, So you know,

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it is fascinating. I don't know how many

32
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: people we'd want to talk about it, but generally they're

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: not married because, like I said yesterday, women don't marry

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: guys who don't work unless you know, you're a tech

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: billionaire and you've retired. So odds are they don't have

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: a partner, they don't have a job. Do they really

37
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: just watch porn and play video games all day? What's

38
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: wrong with that? I'm not passing judgment on it, is

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: I go, is that really the life sounds pleasant? I

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: don't play video games. I watch Pornoh, I was gonna

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: say some people spend a lot of time doing those things.

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: You would you like to watch baseball all day if

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: there was such a thing. Yes, No, That's that's why

44
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: I forced myself to work, because if I'm not working,

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: it's it's not gonna be good. Yeah. I remember when

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: I first met you, to did a morning show, so

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: you'd be home early. You would just lie there the

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: rest of the day. I remember that, Yes, yeah, well

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: then you might get up and eat a half a

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: Hamburger and then later on have a drink at the

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: bar downstairs, and that was about your day. And I

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: was living with three other guys, we'd all do the

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: same thing. The latest poll shows that the Los Angeles

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: mayor's race is very close, and what's significant to point

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: out is just this one paragraph. In the last poll,

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: just over a month ago, Karen Bass led among Latino

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: likely voters by six points thirty five to twenty nine.

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: She now trails by seventeen percent in that same group

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: to Caruso forty eight to thirty one. That's where he's

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: really pulled turned this race around well. And Meggie has

61
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: reached out and he has got a lot of ads

62
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: in Spanish. Whatever they are. I don't see them. They're working.

63
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: It looks like I mentioned this yesterday. I've been looking

64
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: at where he campaigns every day. Yeah you did. I

65
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: ended up on somebody's email list, right, And he sends

66
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: out an email or a staff does so that the

67
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: press can cover one thing or another. And he has

68
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: a lot of events every day, and most of them

69
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: have been in Hispanic and Black neighborhoods, not all of them,

70
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: but a disproportionate number compared to the way you watch

71
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: most candidates conduct business. And it's been very consistent for

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: months now. He has put a tremendous amount of time

73
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: into those neighborhoods. He's doing a lot of advertising. I'm

74
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: sure I don't watch Spanish TV side, but I'm sure

75
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: there's plenty of ads. But but the actual, you know,

76
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: contact with people, and you know how that works because

77
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: in a lot of those neighborhoods, it's these are crowded

78
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: neighborhoods and if somebody like him shows up, words spreads, people,

79
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: hear about it, people talk about it, and I'm guessing

80
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: it's generated a lot of goodwill because they know what

81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Corso said yesterday to us, It's like everybody feels like

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: they haven't been heard. No matter what neighborhood you go to,

83
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: from the west side to the east side of the valley,

84
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: people feel like nobody's listening. And that is the hallmark

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: of this entire era in Los Angeles. Nobody's home in government.

86
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: Carcetti's not there, City Council's not there. They're busy taking

87
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: bribes and hookers. Nobody's there. And so now here comes

88
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: a guy and he's there and he's talking to them.

89
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: And don't underestimate that when somebody talks about the stuff

90
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: you care about, the power it has. That's what Trump did.

91
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: That's what Trump did. And I have explained that he

92
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: did rally after rally all over the place, reaching and

93
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: getting people to understand that he understands. I can't tell

94
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: you how many conversations I've had over the last six

95
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: or seven years with somebody who's either anti Trump or

96
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: doesn't understand the Trump phenomena. And it's the first thing

97
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: I always say. I go He went into middle class,

98
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: blue collar sections of the country and talked about the

99
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: stuff they cared about, talked about their jobs being sent

100
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: over seeds, talked about this global trade with China, talked

101
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: about immigration, talked about stuff that was deeply impacting their

102
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: lives now, and that's why he got as much as

103
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: he did. One thing that also happened, according to this

104
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: Paul her unfavorability rating significantly. Those Crusoe ads, scientology, the

105
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: USC scholarship people don't really know much about Karen Bass.

106
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: She's been around a long time, but they're looking at

107
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: that and they're like, GOWNBEI, she's one of those creepy politicians. Right.

108
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: So the scientology thing was just ikey. It just made

109
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: me uncomfortable. And then the the scholarship thing from me,

110
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: USC looks like a bribe. Looks like she was doing

111
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: the same thing that Ridley Thomas. And in fact, she

112
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: still hasn't turned over the application. You said in a debate,

113
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I applied, I can provide it to you

114
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: before the election. Hadn't done that, and in fact she's

115
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: not even answering questions about it anymore. Thing. I've said

116
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: enough about this, But the truth is she didn't fullally apply.

117
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: The dean got her in. Yeah, now the dean offered it.

118
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: The dean that's now guilty in a case involving more

119
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas. Right, so it was the same thing as

120
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas, and the prosecutors want to use the Bass

121
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: deal as evidence to bolster the Ridley Thomas case. Why

122
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: they don't charge her with something I don't know makes

123
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: no sense to me. But he's explained that maybe she's

124
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: got some kind of taft line. Maybe it's because she's

125
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: running for mayre and they don't want to go through that.

126
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: But nobody's explained to me why it isn't the same thing.

127
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: On paper, it looks like an exact copy. So yeah, yeah,

128
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: that drove down her negatives because she's running around mister

129
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: miss Nisson, smiling and charming, and it's like, oh my god,

130
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: you got a freaking ninety five thousand dollars scholarship. Who

131
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: gets that? Who gets that? You're in your sixties, now,

132
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: why would you get that? Here is another nugget which

133
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: I find troubling and I think indicative as to what's

134
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: going to happen next week. Twenty percent of people surveyed

135
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: already voted. Carusoe had a slight lead there forty ninety

136
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: six people are going to vote on election day. Like

137
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: John coblt he's also leading. Guess where she's ahead? Oh,

138
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: people who plan to mail or drop off their ballance

139
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: but haven't done it yet. Fifty to thirty three for Bass.

140
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: That's what happened in June. They were still counting votes

141
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 1: for days, I think even a week or two after

142
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: election day of the June seventh primary, and she pulled ahead.

143
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: It's happening again. Now. Maybe they won't end up dropping

144
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: off their balance or mailing them. They're just saying no

145
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: to do that. I mean, I mean the polling. The

146
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: polling indicates a four point differential that's within the margin

147
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: of air. I also looked at Real Clear Politics Today

148
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: had a ranking of all the polsters and this Berkeley

149
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: outfit was not good. At a twenty one state polsters,

150
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: they ranked Berkeley is thirteenth on average. It's off by

151
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: three point seven points. So that's roughly the differential between

152
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: Bass and Caruso. So it nobody knows. But you know,

153
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: she had a fifteen point lead just a month ago.

154
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Now it's four and I's thirteen percent. That's still say

155
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: they haven't decided that's one they're gonna pick. So night,

156
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: I just I know this, We're not going to have

157
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: a definitive result Tuesday night, not even Wednesday, the pattern

158
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: will be what you say is that Caruso will have

159
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: an early lead and then Bass will start coming on

160
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: with the with the mail in ballots. It's weird because

161
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: the mail in ballots come in first, but they're counted last.

162
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Uh So that's kind of that's a little uh well,

163
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: because if they come in on election day, they'll tell

164
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: you they're too busy of polling places and doing all

165
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: the things they do that they can't look at them. Yet.

166
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: This mailing thing is just it's just awful. It's just ridiculous.

167
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: So it's it's just, you know, ultimately, it'll just depend

168
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: on the total numbers. You know, So Caruso's strength will

169
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: be day of voting or the week of voting. Her

170
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: strength is going to be mail in ballots that come

171
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: in a month at a time, whatever, you know, it's all,

172
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: it's all just the total numbers in the end, all right,

173
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: coming up, your chance had some money. We got another

174
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: keyword for inflation, bonus cash. John and ken KF I

175
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. There are

176
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: two keywords left and we will have the moistline folks

177
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour. We will have a hack

178
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: for the dumpster, will bringing all the mob members we

179
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: can summon to throw this hack in a dumpster. Has

180
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: never really been on our radar much until recently, and

181
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: certainly deserves based on comments in the last couple of weeks,

182
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: to go into the dumpster. It reminds me that I

183
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: saw a story today that one of the dope whether

184
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: it's MSNBC or CNBC hosts, was trying to explain to

185
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: our audience that nobody really knows what the word inflation means.

186
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: It's just the word that economists and journalists use. It

187
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: means nothing to most people. I'm like, Wow, the hell

188
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: that's the most twisted thing I think I've read today.

189
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: She believes that inflation is just not something people think

190
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: about or care about, or a term that they even use. Wow,

191
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: there are so many insane people who that's really insane

192
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: making a lot of money with real media jobs. It's

193
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: fascinating time, truly insane. That's what you get for having

194
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: just too many channels to wide on the Internet. You

195
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: just get crazy people babbling nonsense and millions are willing

196
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: to believe it. Yeah, some of those audiences are in

197
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: the hundreds of thousands. Yeah, but they make money. She's

198
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: making a fat salary. Yeah, she definitely is. Yeah. Now

199
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: they starting to lay off some of those folks I've

200
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: read so well good. Yeah, the corruption at the City

201
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles involving the developers and the council people.

202
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: This past week we have a federal trial against one

203
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: of the big companies behind this shin Zen New World One,

204
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: a company owned by a Chinese billionaire developer who's a fugitive.

205
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: So the company's on trial, not the fugitive because they

206
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: don't have him in custody. His name is Wai Huang.

207
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: He wanted to build a seventy seven story tower on

208
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: the side of the La Grand Hotel downtown. He actually

209
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: acquired the property years ago in a deal that was

210
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: like ninety million dollars and he tried to here it

211
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: is twenty eleven, ninety million. He planned to redevelop into

212
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: a skyscraper featuring a mix of commercial space along with

213
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: residential and hotel rooms. He filed an application with the

214
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: city Planning Department in June of twenty eighteen, but the

215
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: company did not submit the necessary paperwork to the city

216
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: before the twenty one deadline. The application was terminated. And

217
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: the reasons for that is that by then Jose Wesar

218
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: was on the radar. They had gone and rated his

219
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: offices and his home because they believed that he was

220
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: bribed by this company. In fact, they think it totaled

221
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: a million and a half dollars two hundred fifty grand

222
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: casino chips, six hundred thousand dollars loan, which wes Are

223
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: never paid back the way they laid this out to

224
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: in detail, And that's why this trial's kind of fascinating.

225
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: Now again, wes Are is not on trial. This is

226
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: the company. As we said the other day, I don't

227
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do. A criminal trial for a company.

228
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: Can they make it pay something or I like PG

229
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: and E. They got they had to pay. Yeah, they

230
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: were found guilty of manslaughter US right. And the sentence,

231
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: the sentence can be the company has to pay money.

232
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: Oh the way you'd have a civil verdict, you could

233
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: have a criminal verdict and you pay a fine. So

234
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: the gifts the bribes included a ten day trip to Australia,

235
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: visits to golf resorts, luxury sweets, cash, and many private

236
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: gambling trips to Las Vegas hotels, And what's also fascinating

237
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: about this story is that Jose Weezer used his own

238
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: family members to launder the money. His mother, his brother,

239
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: and his wife are among fourteen witnesses who will be

240
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: called by federal prosecutors to talk about the money laundering.

241
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: In fact, the wife is still married to him, but

242
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: she'll testify about multiple instances in which he deposited large

243
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: amounts of cash into her personal checking account that she

244
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: allegedly got from We's are so, I guess they're doing

245
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: this because they don't want to be prison. If you cooperate, yeah,

246
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: maybe you won't get jail. Yeah thing got his own

247
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: trial coming next year. But they're like, well, we don't

248
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: want to. I mean, it could be marriage a name

249
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: only because he was runnering around on her. Now he

250
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: had a lot of it, a lot of affairs, remember

251
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: he was it was a sexual harassment case against Yeah.

252
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: He actually used some of the bride bunny to pay

253
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: somebody off. Yeah. Yeah, he was stalking some woman that

254
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: worked with him. So you know what, when it comes

255
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: down to, when you got a federal prosecution, you tell

256
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: him everything. You spell on all your conspirators and try

257
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: to save your own rear end nineteen trips to Las Vegas.

258
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: He went there and met the billionaire. And if you

259
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, it's fascinating because casinos are full of

260
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: cameras and you can see we's are at the cash

261
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: cage cashing in the chips. So I guess we're part

262
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: of the bribes. Yeah, those are funny pictures. Another way

263
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: to launder the money is to be bribed in chips

264
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: and then you transfer the chips to cash and or

265
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: you give the chips to family members who Yeah, there's

266
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: no question he's guilty. A whole lot of them are guilty.

267
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, yea million, a million and a half dollars

268
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: and a quarter million in casino chips. I mean, this

269
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: stuff really existed. They never got the building built, the development.

270
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: It never happened. And in fact, they do have a

271
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: defense attorney for the company who's saying the bribe wasn't

272
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: necessary because nothing ever happened. Why would we bribe for

273
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: a project it was never built. The group politicians who

274
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: have either been involved in one scandal or another. They've

275
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: been in prison, they've been forced from office, and mostly

276
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: represent a lot of poor areas of the city. And

277
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: they all should go to jail or be forced to

278
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: resign or whatever the punishment is. But you have to

279
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: start looking at the voters here. What are you doing?

280
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean, whose are got replaced by de Leon? I

281
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: mean you want to because you know, everyone wants to

282
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: complain that they feel like they're not getting their share

283
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: of the goods in life right, that their neighborhoods are

284
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: being treated badly, that the government doesn't pay attention to them,

285
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: that somehow their second class. Well look who you're electing.

286
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: You're literally electing criminals, repeatedly electing criminals and thieves and liars.

287
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: What do you think that you think you're going to

288
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: have your district well taken care of. They don't even

289
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: spend five minutes on the people in their district. They

290
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: have no interest. The reason they ran for office is

291
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: to do this. Wese are new. This is how you

292
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: can business in LA. That's why he ran. But you know,

293
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: if you're willing to walk around and do town hall

294
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: meetings and you know, meet the public at their festivals

295
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: and fairs and say yes, yes, I'm here to serve

296
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: the public. I'm here to do good work. I represent you,

297
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I care about you. That's all you have to say.

298
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: People go, oh, he cares about me. All right when

299
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: we come back. You've heard the expression go woke, go broke. Well,

300
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna find out with Twitter if it's go unwoke,

301
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: go broke, Johnny Ken, caf I Am six forty, Live Everywhere,

Speaker 1: four o'clock hour, we'll bring out the Bidenville desk and

00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: we'll tell you what he's said in the last twenty

325
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: four hours, which is worth the play on KFI. It's

326
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: coming up after four, and of course the five o'clock

327
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: hour brings us the moistline two parts hacking at Dumpster.

328
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: There are still two more keywords where you could possibly

329
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: win some money here on the Johnny Ken Show on KFI.

330
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: So one of the big stories this morning, which had

331
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: been out there all week, is that there was going

332
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: to be layoffs at Twitter, formerly now taken over by

333
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. The first sign that some of the company

334
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: seven thousand, five hundred employees had that they were being

335
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: laid off came when their email accounts were shut off

336
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: late Thursday. I guess that would be a There apparently

337
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: wasn't an official word about termination in Twitter offices in

338
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: Ireland and Britain. Employees stayed up late waiting for the

339
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco headquarters to inform them of their job status.

340
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Some did find out that they were unemployed in the

341
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: middle of the night. I guess Elon Musk has decided

342
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of fat to cut there in

343
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: the Twitter workforce. Well, there were a lot of executives

344
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: that were let go before they qualified for some stock

345
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: bonus that was gonna cost Musk billions of dollars. And

346
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: he also has a heavy debt service to pay because

347
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: he borrowed a lot of money for the forty four

348
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: billion dollars buyout right. Yeah, says here. He took on

349
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: thirteen billion dollars in debt for the buyout right. So

350
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: the company has lost money eight of the past ten years.

351
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: If you're able to fire fifty percent of your work

352
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: for us, I'm assuming most of those people didn't do

353
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: much useful. We'll find out, won't we. Engineering and machine

354
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: learning teams, the trust and safety teams that manage content moderation.

355
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: Oh that's your favorite, right, Oh that's the one that

356
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: decides that whose politicals whose political views are not acceptable yet,

357
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: and the sales and advertising departments. Now, Musk is admitted

358
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: in a tweet this afternoon that they did lose a

359
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: lot of advertising revenue over this change and these decisions.

360
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: He's also complained though that they weren't getting advertising revenue

361
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: because of all the content. So we're going to find

362
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: in the long run if this continues, is whether or not,

363
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, because he's trying to be thinks bring back

364
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: real free speech. I don't know what that means. Well,

365
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have the content moderation. He thinks

366
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: that Twitter overdoes it in terms of politics, preventing people

367
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: from having real free speech. Oh, he's right. They definitely

368
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: penalized people who weren't woke enough, but they deleted or

369
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: they can't well, like the like the Hunter Biden story,

370
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: the New York Post was not allowed to put on Twitter,

371
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 1: and they suspended the post account, I believe for two weeks.

372
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: And then anybody else who tried to repost the New

373
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: York the Hunter Biden story, they were also blocked blocked.

374
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: So that was the most egregious example. I'm not on Twitter.

375
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: I've never posted on Twitter. I have heard that people

376
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: who who aren't who post conservative thoughts tend to have

377
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: it squashed. And they also all these all these uh

378
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: social media sites have a clever way. It's called shadow banning.

379
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: They don't outright block or erase your post, they just

380
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: make sure very few people see it. They have a

381
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: way of of shrinking your audience without you being able

382
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: to tell. And they and they discon like Facebook disconnects

383
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: you from people that they find objectionable. I have a

384
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: couple of acquaintances on Facebook. They tend to post right

385
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: wing stuff, nothing terrible, and suddenly they're disconnected, so I

386
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: don't see their posts anymore. And I look and I check,

387
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: and I used to follow them, and now I have

388
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: unfollowed them, and it happens repeatedly. And that's what I

389
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: figured out. Oh, I get the game here. Content that

390
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: these moderators don't like or the algorithm doesn't like just

391
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: automatically disconnects you from all your friends so nobody can

392
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: see your material. And yeah, that's a stupid game. Five

393
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: former Twitter workers filed a class action lawsuit because they

394
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: say that the company did not follow the laws concerning

395
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: advance notice of the layoffs. California and federal laws require

396
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: companies to notify workers in advance of mass layoffs. I

397
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: think it's at least sixty days, but but I'm understand

398
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Twitter is going to pay people through January

399
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: so that they have complied essentially with that part of

400
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: the law. The other thing that's happening, and I know

401
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: this will really bother you, John, celebrities are dropping Twitter.

402
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: My god, I can't believe the ink that has wasted

403
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: on this stuff. Celebrities have a lot of followers, who cares?

404
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean, I've looked at that

405
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: list of celebrities. Eighty percent of it might never heard of.

406
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: I've just got no interest in this. In this whole world,

407
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't get following celebrities and

408
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: waiting to hear what they thank God on their personal

409
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: lives or their politics. I mean, there's almost everything else

410
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: in life is more entertaining or interesting than that. Everything.

411
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: You know, what, trying to rub a cream on a

412
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: rash is more productive and then reading what a celebrity

413
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: has to say about some news story. Good lord. The

414
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: Volkswagen Group joined several of the companies and recommending that

415
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: their automotive brands Audie, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche paused they're spending

416
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 1: on Twitter. The Danis Brewing Company Carlsberg group. People same

417
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: used Twitter as a weapon. You've got groups who organize

418
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter in order to attack people that they disagree with,

419
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: that they weaponize these social media sites. I there's nothing.

420
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: There's so much awful stuff that comes out of these sites.

421
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: I really I pray every day they all go bankrupt.

422
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: I really do. I don't care about their issues. I

423
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: don't care that Elon Musk bought it, what he with it,

424
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: he could just set it on fire for a like care.

425
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: That seems to be what he's doing. I think what

426
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: he's trying to do is start over, and if he's

427
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna lose advertisers and he's gonna lose followers, he wants

428
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: to start over with a whole new business model. It was,

429
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was a crappy business model.

430
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: They weren't making a lot of money. They were not

431
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: you know it. It was the maybe they did have

432
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: way too many employees. Yeah, I mean, if you can

433
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: fire half of them and still have people being able

434
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: to tweet, then I don't know what the problem is.

435
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: I don't know when. When when when a like a

436
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: automotive factory lays off half their workforce, does he get

437
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: this kind of headlines, the celebrities say, well, I'm not

438
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: going to buy that model anymore now. It's it's only

439
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: like tech people at Twitter. I'm we're supposed to cry

440
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: for that crowd. I don't think we get a real job.

441
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: More coming up, John and Ken Camp. I am six

442
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. No, we'll head

443
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: over to Bidenville at four oh five. Got a couple

444
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: of audio clips to play for you. It looks like

445
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: he finally wanted to correct the record about exactly where

446
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: his son Bow died. Been saying in some speeches for

447
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: quite some time now that Bo died in Iraq. Bo

448
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: was in the military and served in Iraq, but he

449
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: didn't actually die there. But that's Biden's interpretation. You'll see

450
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: why he says that because he doesn't remember. Maybe you

451
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: can't misinterpret where your son died. And he has interpreted

452
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: it differently because he thinks his son got cancer in

453
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Iraq that killed him. So he right to Iraq and

454
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: he died there. He died in Washington, and there's no

455
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: proof that he got the cancer because he served in Iraq.

456
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: He's just made that up. When you've got another son

457
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: named Hunter. You got to rely on Bow for anything

458
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: you can for sympathy, so he brings it up his arm.

459
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you like to know the true story of the

460
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden childhood with Joe? Somebody should do that story.

461
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: How does that somebody turn out that toxic and destructive?

462
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: And Joe also said that we were the poorest in Congress,

463
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: he and his wife. Is that true? But I think

464
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: that's indicative as to why the Bidens have been trying

465
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: to enrich themselves all these years, why his business deals,

466
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: why the whole family is made up of crux. Yeah,

467
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: all right, we'll talk about all this after the news

468
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: at four o'clock. One thing that's particularly annoying in this

469
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: world of John has pointed out horrible social media. People

470
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: want to post things that go viral, They want to

471
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: get a lot of likes, to get a lot of attention.

472
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: Is the parents that every now and then tries to

473
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: involve their children in some record making feet. Last Saturday,

474
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: the announcement was that an eight year old boy has

475
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: climbed to the top of the Yosemites three thousand foot

476
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: el Capitan, and it's a manned by the name of

477
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: Joe Baker. I'm so proud of my son. He's now

478
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: officially the youngest person to climb El Capitan. But many

479
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: are questioning whether or not he actually climbed the face

480
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: because it says that apparently what they did was two

481
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: climbers set up a rope for the father and son

482
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: to use hand clamps to climb up the rope. They ever,

483
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: didn't really touch the rock's face as they ascended. Still,

484
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of scary sounding, but technically that's

485
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: not really rock climbing. That's sort of rope hauling. Some

486
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Tom Evans who hangs out

487
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: Yosemite Valley, is a guy with nothing to do, and

488
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: he takes pictures of people climbing, and he says they

489
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: didn't climb a foot. They don't deserve any recognition. All

490
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: they had to do was go up this little rope.

491
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: They had no other responsibility otherwise, hail the guys who

492
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: are the climbers, those guys who were just tag alongs.

493
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: Climbing a rock is not climbing a rope. They're pulled

494
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: up out a rope. They use hand clamps to pull

495
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: themselves up on the rope. Right the rope man set

496
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: up by the by the actual croc climbers. Right. Oh,

497
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of a weird thing. Horse crap, isn't it.

498
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: There's one thing that scares me when in anything is

499
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: rock climbing. I could never ever, ever ever do that.

500
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: I would not ever try that. When you watch those people,

501
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: to ever watch those documentaries, I got two sons. You

502
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: do a lot of it. Oh no, no, no, no, no.

503
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't care what kind of equipment you have.

504
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: That's way too scary for me. Oh they do, they

505
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: do stuff I can. I mean, they send me videos

506
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: that and I pass out. Yeah, one misstep. I just

507
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm completely flummoxed by it. But you know what I'm

508
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: saying is fine, you can climb a rock, But to

509
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: get your eat, your own kid involved in this and

510
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: then try to make it sound like you know, because

511
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: people take this seriously. As you can see, if you're

512
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: not really rock climbing, then what are you doing and

513
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: why are you involving your eight rolled in an attempt

514
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: to get it? Because I have a world record, because

515
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: it's the biggest mental disease in this country. Is narcissism, right,

516
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: The need to be recognized to get attention. Who knew?

517
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: I guess this was always inside people. We just you know,

518
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: if they'd invented all these stupid social media forums, you know,

519
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: fifty years ago, I suppose we would have found out then.

520
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: But who knows that people are so desperate to be

521
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: noticed and have a little bit of fame. A few

522
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: months that a family made like an eight year old

523
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: run a marathon, I mean twenty six miles. I don't

524
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: even if I believed it that. I forget how old

525
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: the kid was. Well, a marathon in one day, one shot?

526
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I forgot how many hours? Let

527
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: white over two weeks? Maybe? No, no, no sleeping in hotels?

528
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean no, it was you know the best marathons

529
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: can do in a couple of hours. But I don't

530
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: think it was not an eight year old eight. It

531
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: was a child. But I forget how old he was.

532
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't remember the age of that. This is an

533
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: eight year old to climb Deale Capit down, but not

534
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember how all the kid was that ran

535
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: the marathon. You'd have to why do you do? You'd

536
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: have to be past puberty to let their kids have

537
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: a childhood. Don't try to involve them in your glory

538
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: for records. Narcissism is more powerful than anything, clearly incredibly

539
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: powerful force of people, and you can't dislodge it either.

540
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: You can't cure it. We'll take a walk into Bidenville

541
