On the John and 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Ken Show, this is a weird story and Blake Trolley 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: from Cafe News is going to tell it. The Board 19 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: of Education president at the Claremont Unified School District, Stephen Lanoosa, 20 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: he had a holiday party and shirtless adult male performers 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: showed up and mingled with Claremont High School students CLA, 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: the Claremont High School choir, the choir, the quiet, the 23 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: choir kids, and these shirtless performers. I don't know. And 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: the people are outraged. It's a peculiar scene. And they 25 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: texted him and his response was no comment on the 26 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: advice of legal counsel. I cannot make any comments. Yeah, 27 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: I bet there was a special meeting of the Claremont 28 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: Unified School District Point of Education at one o'clock this afternoon. 29 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: Imagine that, Blake went, your school board president. You're inviting 30 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: some of the high school kids to come over, I 31 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: guess sing Christmas carols. And then it's like, yeah, and 32 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: let's say, let's get the shirtless men group in here 33 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: to flex their muscles. Is that all they were doing, 34 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: where they're just flexing their muscles? Really, Michael, why would 35 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: you invite a bunch of guys to flex muscles. There's 36 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: got to be more to that. Oh, we'll find out. 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: Bike trolle is is on the line. Bike you there? Hey, guys, 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: how are you guys doing? What? Was this really a 39 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: bad This is a very bizarre story and Honestly, guys, 40 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: this comes out of my alma mater. I actually graduated 41 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: from Claremont High School and the choir team at Claremont 42 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: High has always been known to be really good. So 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: parents here tell me, and I wasn't aware of this, 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: that it is common for them to perform at parties. Again, 45 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: this team is, you know, year by year they're very, very, 46 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: very talented. What about the men we're getting there? So 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: Steve Lenus the last week and had a party and 48 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: the choir team went to perform. Again, we say, this 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: is a common you know, fundraiser. A parent who spoke 50 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: at the meeting said that permission slips did go out. 51 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: They said that Lenusa was listed as the the you know, 52 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: the head chaperone, I guess you could say, or the 53 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: supervisor over the students. She said that the students were 54 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: supposed to essentially just set up and leave. They were 55 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: supposed to set up, they'd have ten minutes of set up, 56 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: they would perform, and they would leave. They would not 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: intermingle in the party. But as you guys can hear 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: here she lays it out, here's the timeline that the 59 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: parents are alleging. The expectation and precedent for these gigs 60 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: is that's students arrived ten minutes before their scheduled performance time, 61 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: they gather and are escorted to perform. Their set list 62 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: is approximately thirty minutes, and then they are escorted out 63 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: and leave the gathering. The students are not invited guests. 64 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: They are performers singing holiday songs to earn money towards 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: their culminating choir experience. As a parent, I signed this 66 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: permission slip confidently with full knowledge that mister Lanusia was 67 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: a supervising staff member president on December third, and the 68 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: students were performing at his party in the manner described above. 69 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: The actual events of the evening were nothing that's planned. 70 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: Upon the student's arrival, mister Lenusa invited the high school 71 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: chore group into his private adult party in his home. 72 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: They were encouraged to partake in food and festivities. The 73 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: students did not begin their scheduled performance until over an 74 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: hour later, and were offered alcohol by party guests among 75 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: inappropriately dressed adult entertainers who and I want to go 76 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: into this. This is another guy who spoke. He you know, 77 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: it's similar, but he does offer a little bit better. 78 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: He has a daughter that's on the choir team. He 79 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: was among many parents, I mean the parents that spoke 80 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: here today. Of course they're calling for Lenosa to step down. 81 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Here was one of them. I caught him in the 82 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: hallway as soon as he gave his remarks, you know, 83 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: he took off in a couple of these parents. By 84 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: the way, he seemed pretty distraught. There was one moment, 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, while this testimony was being given by parents 86 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: in the public comment, there was one mom visibly you 87 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: could see was really disturbed by this. She was tearing up. 88 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: You know, I'd tried to interview her before when she 89 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: showed up and and you know, she kindly, but what 90 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: very you know, you can see she was very disturbed, 91 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, denied the interview. Here is a father who 92 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: again and was he he has a daughter that was 93 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: at the party. He says, he has a daughter that 94 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: was at the party, and he's calling on Lenusa to 95 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: resign as well. Seven thirty. They arrived at seven thirty 96 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: and they were immediately shuffled into the garage and told 97 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't going to be for an hour, to which 98 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: they weren't highly encouraged by half naked men and the 99 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: adults there. Lenusa included to mingle with these people and 100 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: offered alcohol, take pictures with them and give Sanna their 101 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: wish list, etc. Et. Insert all the disgusting comments that 102 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: could be had. There were people making disgusting comments towards 103 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: these kids. Absolutely, I thought, yes, I'm not going to 104 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: go into that right now. Just you can imagine, I'm 105 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: a dad, it's my daughter, so wouldn't really go into 106 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: too much. Seat Tail says, this is far more serious 107 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: here now is the is the choir? All female ors 108 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: are mixed. It is a mixed choir. Yeah, it is 109 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: a male and female choir. In fact, the first lady 110 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: you heard there she has a son, or she says 111 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: she has a son that's on the team. She called in. Um, Yeah, 112 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: this is a pretty serious situation. Guys. The Claremont Peade, 113 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: they won't comment much, but they do say that this 114 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: is all under all under investigation. The school board today 115 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: did announce before the meeting that no formal action will 116 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: be taken today. They said that no other board members 117 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: are at the party, But when a parent asked them 118 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: if they could confirm that no teachers are at the party, they, 119 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, simply could not confirm nor deny me. And 120 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: again we're still working well, we're still trying to confirm 121 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, you know, everything at this party. Of course, 122 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: we've seen the alleged photos of the party. We're trying 123 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, if strippers were actually there 124 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: or if these were just shirtless elves aren't either. You know, 125 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: We're we're trying to get to the bottom of the 126 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: plenty of well well yeah, that's part of the entertainment, 127 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: but to get we are working to get to the 128 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: bottom of this um. But you know, it'll be interesting 129 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: to see. I mean, there's a lot of pressure. And 130 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: one thing I want to comment on, guys, somebody who's 131 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: from Claremont is no matter what happens, but this it's 132 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: a tough blow to this city because this is a 133 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: city where a lot of people move to for the 134 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: school system. So you know, it's a big blow to 135 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: the city in those regards. Apparently, Lenos's but on that 136 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: board for seventeen years and his one parent that says 137 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: he tends to do this have adult performers come to 138 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: his party as eye candy, But I don't know, that's 139 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: that's weird. That's is weird when you're school board president, 140 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: and it's beyond weird to have a bunch of high 141 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: school kids, boys and girls coming in and offering him 142 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: booze and making all kinds of suggestive comments. That's that's creepy. 143 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: All right, Blake, thank you very much. Makes you wonder 144 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: where else he's going on? All right, Blake trolley kofine 145 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: news And apparently a Claremont he went to Claremont High School, 146 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: which is where this controversy's coming from, involving the man 147 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: that's the head of the school district. Um he's apparently 148 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: Lee and the crosshairs here at this board meeting, the 149 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: Claremont Unified School Board of Education at a special meeting 150 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: to talk about the Board of Education president Stephen Lanosa, 151 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: who coordinated this party in his own what was the 152 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: idea here? Like, what was the delight in the mood? 153 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: And hit fine to get kids drunk with half naked 154 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: ben I don't know. And then what see, this is 155 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: what this lady said, and this is what I figured. 156 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: This is a resident in Claremont named debraah Coacney, mother 157 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: of a sixth grader at a twenty nineteen Claremont High 158 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: School grad who said he always has adult performers like 159 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: that dressed and come to the party's eye candy. But 160 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: what was different this time because he did bring the 161 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: kids right, So the choir doesn't always go. It's usually 162 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: just all adults and then you have the eye candy. 163 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: But he had the underages in there. Wait the eye candy. 164 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: My eyes don't want to see that. Well again, Deborah Mark, 165 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: go ahead. If it'd be females, then it's eye candy. 166 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: So at a Christmas party, Oh, if these beautiful women 167 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: came and started stripping down at a Christmas party, you 168 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: would walk out? Do you mean your wild west Side 169 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: friends don't do anything like this with their Christmas parties? No? No, 170 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: you're sad about it. I've never I've never had invited 171 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: to anything like that. We thought on the West Side 172 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: there's all sorts of wife swapping and orgies. No swapping 173 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: and orgy. It's true, isn't that what the rich do? 174 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: And I hope not, and they bring in all sorts 175 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: of racy entertainment. Never have experienced that, harness, never heard 176 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: of it. We're what kind of parties are you going? No, 177 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: that's what I read about West Side people. You're in 178 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: another world that where what using books and movies on it? 179 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: There have been Ye was a show about wife wife 180 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: swapping many years ago? Was it west Side, La People? Yes, 181 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: John's neighborhood. What kind of streaming service you have it was? 182 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: I don't even think it was done. You're in the 183 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: dark man, apparently what your neighbors are doing. I want 184 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: to come to the life. That's what's going on. We'll 185 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: follow this story. Of course Blake is following it very closely. 186 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: Johnny ken KF I am six forty Live Everywhere the 187 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app coming up after four o'clock. We'll see what's 188 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: going on with the Idaho college student murders. Any developments 189 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: today will bring for you in our reporter like Stone 190 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: ABC News for KFI. Yesterday during the five o'clock hour, 191 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: if you missed it, we did an interview again with 192 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,599 Speaker 1: a man by the name of Sam Kenonas. He is 193 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: an author. The book he wrote last year is called 194 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: The Least of Us about meth fentanyl the Homeless. You 195 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: ought to read the book. You want to listen to 196 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: our interview there, As John said, epiphanies to be had 197 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: concerning our unmovable apparently unstoppable homeless problems in southern California. 198 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: It's the missing pieces. It explains why you're seeing what 199 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: you're saying, and why this suddenly blew up in the 200 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: last few years now. A lot of it has to 201 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: do with even stronger meth coming from Mexico, and of 202 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: course fentanyl is now infiltrating everywhere yea. And the key 203 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: here was that apparently these drugs, particularly this supermeth, leads 204 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: the brain to just abandon survival mode or self preservation. 205 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: So this is why some of the vagrants are refusing help, 206 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: they don't care and just want to stay where they 207 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: are and continue to use, and why they act so 208 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: aggressively and violently. That it's nine pure meth now that 209 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: they're manufacturing in Mexico and probably here too, because the 210 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: cartel is obviously spread into southern California, and so this 211 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: meth completely destroys the brain function of these people, and 212 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: it didn't exist a few years ago. This is new, 213 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: new chemistry, new chemicals they're using and fentyl. Wow, And 214 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: he has a line in there about fentyl how people said, well, 215 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: it's it's kicked heroin out, and heroin people are still 216 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: using it in their fifties and sixties. With fentyl, you 217 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: ain't going to be around. If you don't stop using it, 218 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: you'll die. Fentanyl deaths accounted for more than eighty percent 219 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: of all drug related deaths among young people in twenty 220 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: twenty one. He was also asked about these safe injection sites. 221 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: An he made a good point which brings us back 222 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: to the math and the fentanyl, that if that's what 223 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: they're using, that's not good to less stand by and 224 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: just revive them, because fentinyl often results in death eventually. 225 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: So as you pointed out John, and he did too, 226 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: that it just damages the brain. These drugs continued use 227 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: over long term. Yeah, it's like some people are in 228 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: a car accident. It cause there's brain damage they never 229 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 1: fully recover. Yeah, same thing. Yeah, but she saysn't like 230 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: somebody with a donut habit that you know, you know, 231 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: don't aren't good for you, but eat a couple of days. 232 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: You know, we'll just stand by and make sure you 233 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: don't get too fat or to get diabetes. No, drugs 234 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: are different. People tend to debate this drug stuff at 235 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: such a superficial level without thinking chemically, what does this 236 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: poison due to the brain and it damages it permanently. 237 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: And now you have said, so it's not a matter 238 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: of well, you know, you just gotta you just gotta stop, 239 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: you gotta go get a job, you gotta. They're not 240 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: capable anymore. Their brains are destroyed, or portions of their 241 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: brains are destroyed. That govern whether they want to take 242 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: care of themselves, whether they want to live, where they 243 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: want to protect themselves enough to live. And this side 244 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: that we're looking at in politics that only thinks it's 245 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: about housing. Oh, that's that's that's that's beyond stupid. That's 246 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: why they're getting overwhelmed with the homeless problem. They're ignoring 247 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: the drug abuse and the damage to the brain. They're 248 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: ignoring that. I remember what Sam said yesterday about how 249 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: how long before how long if if a group of 250 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: politicians like this whole Garsetti Knewsom class ignores something like this, 251 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: and the evidence is mounting, it's obvious, we can all 252 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: see it. You have Sam Kenona is doing this story 253 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: writing a book. Then at what point it's like, Okay, 254 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: you're wilfully ignoring it. It's not that you're ignorant, it's 255 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: that you're willfully ignoring it, because what's the benefit of 256 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: ignoring it? Is it about all the money that you 257 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: can now funnel to your contracting friends who then kick 258 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: it back to you. I mean, I mean, what are 259 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: the possibilities here? Why would you ignore all this mountain, 260 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: this mountain of evidence that's in your face every day? 261 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: Why would you ignore that at some point? If if 262 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: it was ever a belief system, and I kind of 263 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: doubt that, but let's say it was, then when do 264 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: you admit your belief is incorrect, it's false, it's causing damage. 265 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: Why are you so emotionally tied to it? Why are 266 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: you so invested in it? I don't know. I've got 267 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: dark thoughts about all this. Also, the open border doesn't 268 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: help a lot more drugs getting into this country, including 269 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: this unbelievable amount of fetenyl. Doesn't seem like a week 270 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: or two goes by before we hear about a big 271 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: nab of fentanyl that got smuggled into the country. And 272 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: that is what that's wilfully being allowed to happen too. 273 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: There isn't a soul in government that doesn't know about 274 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: the amount of fentanyl and math coming over the border 275 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: and how it's being transported and they're wilfully choosing to 276 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: do nothing about it. Why this is not a humanmanitarian 277 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: argument here with the people. This is the drugs, and 278 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: this is the and fentinel that's killing people, killing a 279 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: lot of young people, killing people by the tens of thousands. Now, 280 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: so why are they wilfully ignoring it? What's the new 281 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: thing that came into this is that they're mixing the 282 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: fentnyl into what people think are ordinary opioid drugs. You know, 283 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: someone tries to order percocet, and I'm not saying this 284 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: is smart. There's a bit of Darwinism to this, but 285 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: they're ordering it off of social media or through some connection, 286 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: and then they get what they think as a percocet pill, 287 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: but it's laced with fentyl and in some cases it's 288 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: enough to kill them. That's another aspect of this is 289 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: new in the last couple of years, which is leading 290 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: to a lot of overdoses and deaths. And if you're 291 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: going to allow this stuff to get into the country, 292 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: this is going to be the results of it. So 293 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: the new idea, and apparently a couple of bills of 294 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: it introduced, including Friend of the John and Ken show. 295 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: Assembly Member Jim Patterson. Oh, no's to somebody Member Joe Patterson, 296 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: it's another Patterson from Rockland required schools in California to 297 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: have at least two doses of emergency narcan on campus 298 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: in case of an overdose. This is what we're dealing 299 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: with now. But all right, so why these kind of small, 300 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: small ball, feeble measures. Why they still something larger which 301 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: stops this? Right? Why? But why don't they want to 302 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: stop it? Why? Why aren't they appalled and horrified like 303 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: most normal people are. They have the power, that's what 304 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: we hire them to do. You know, one of their 305 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: government's base functions is to detect us from some kind 306 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: of criminal enterprise, a criminal invasion. You have this, this, 307 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: all these drug cartel employees from Mexico that are poisoning 308 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people and killing them. Now, it 309 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: seems to be a basic function of government is to 310 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: is to block this, is to end this, slow it down. No, 311 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: the response seems to be, like with the safe injection sites, 312 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: let's just stand by and make sure they don't die, 313 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: and we can save them from their overdose. But do 314 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: they do anything about stopping Well, okay, but why drugs? 315 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: Why don't they want to stop the drugs? I guess 316 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: giving up everybody in the Biden administration they know this. 317 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: They'll get them somehow, the black market, the smugglers. There's 318 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: nothing we can do to stop the supply that we 319 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: have to save the person's life. But that, I mean, 320 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: that isn't true. And they know that isn't true. If 321 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: you wanted to severely restrict the supply of drugs coming 322 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: over the order, there's any number of steps that you 323 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: could take. They're choosing not to, right right, So, I mean, 324 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm I can't come up with a benign explanation for that. 325 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 1: All right, when we return, Well, you know, we love 326 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: the tongue bath desk, and it seems appropriate for this 327 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: story from a couple of writers with the LSI undone Times. 328 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: Oh go old James Rainy is back, John James Rainy 329 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: who picked on us years ago for being simpletons. Imagine 330 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: imagine getting picked on by an LA Times writer that we, uh, 331 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: we're like, we're like we work with crayons. I think 332 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: he said about it. Eric Garcetti led LA during profoundly 333 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: turbulent times. How will history judge him? Yes? This Weekend 334 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: marks the end of Garcetti, thank god, the second longest 335 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: serving mayor since Tom Bradley and the worst mayor that 336 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: La has ever had, without a doubt, couldn't be out 337 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: done by Karen Bass. We'll step to find out. Yeah, 338 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: well she's another version more coming up. John and Ken 339 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: show cafight. Well, today's tongue bathers that we're gonna spotlight 340 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: James Rainey and Dakota Smith. One man, one woman from 341 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: the El Segondo Times who lavished enormous amounts of saliva 342 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: all over Eric Garcetti. I think they would look at 343 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: it as a balanced article, but yeah, mostly it does 344 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: pathe him. There's no balance. See, that's the thing. To 345 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: present Garcetti's tenure as balanced, some good, some bad is 346 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: that's what they tried to do. But it's not. It's 347 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: all bad. No, no, it is almost all bad. So 348 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: that's inaccurate. It's distortive to try. When I look at 349 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: the pictures of him in this article, it really comes 350 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: together once again who this person is now? Garcetti is 351 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: finally leaving after nine years as the mayor of Los Angeles. 352 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: Came in and twenty thirteen, and of course thanks to 353 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: the way they changed the charter, he got himself an 354 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: extra year for two terms as mayors. That's how he 355 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: came out to be nine years. He's sitting in one 356 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: of those homeless apartments that they built. But you know, 357 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: he's trim, he's so well quaffed. He's got the perfect 358 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: suit on. This is the definition of an empty suited politician, 359 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: somebody who got into quote the business because that's what 360 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: his father did, right. Gil Garcetti was da and had 361 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: aspirations beyond that, but felt like he was meant to 362 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: be in the world of politics, Eric Garcetti. And of 363 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: course he's the Rhodes scholar, so on top of that, 364 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: he's got the education, all right, all right, how how 365 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: a distinctive is being a Rhodes scholar if Eric Garcetti 366 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: is one, concus I'm sick of hearing about Rhode scholars. 367 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: The only ones I remember remember Bill Clinton, I think, 368 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: and Bill Bradley, the NBA player for him, I think 369 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: he was a Rhodes scholar too, And he died and 370 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: and and Clinton was was a goof and Garcetti's moron. 371 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: So I don't know about this Rhodes scholar business. That 372 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: sounds like overhyped nonsense, doesn't it well? Buried in this 373 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: really long story is one quote that I think says 374 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: it all. Mars Pishon, who led efforts against illegal dumping 375 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: in his Procoyment neighborhood, said to the Times, this whole 376 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: damn city is a dump. Even the nice areas have 377 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: turned to garbage. That says it all, doesn't it? That Ars? 378 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: That's yeah, turning La into a garbage jump. And that 379 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: was the most baffling thing that he allowed to happen. 380 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: Because you can argue all day about how difficult it 381 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: is to get forty thousand homeless people off the street, 382 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: or to stop thousands of criminals, right, I mean that 383 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: takes that takes a lot of work. But picking up garbage, 384 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: pickamp garbage is the most menial job. They give that 385 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: to prisoners to keep them busy. Prisoners get garbage duty, right, 386 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, if they promised not to kill anybody, they're 387 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: hired to work for Caltrans on the side of interstate 388 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: freeways to pick up the trash. And the story says 389 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: when he ran in twenty thirteen, he was going to 390 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: be the back to basics mayor could anyone have gone further? 391 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: Off the path, the traffic, the garbage, the homeless. These 392 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: are the basic things they want you to take care of. 393 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 1: He completely did nothing about them. That's the thing, is 394 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: he totally whipped. You can't make a case that he 395 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: was somewhat successful when it came to homelessness or crime 396 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: or garbage. He was a complete zero zero time zero 397 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: time zero, which equals zero on the three most important 398 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: issues of the city. There is nothing more important than 399 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: the homelessness to crime, in the garbage. Those were the 400 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: top three. You look at the scoreboard, three zeros in 401 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: a row failure, and I'll add traffic. It's another traffic, 402 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: another zero, the idea of what was his stupid division 403 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: zero zero road diets and all this stupid stupidity. Okay, 404 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: that's another thing, this vision zero thing. The pedestrian deaths 405 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 1: went up, vehicular deaths went up, Homeless numbers went up. 406 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: Homeless numbers went up even after we get we gave 407 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: him billions of dollars. I don't understand. It's not like 408 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: it's a mixed success by kind of a mediocre. He 409 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: completely whipped on all of it, and there's no way 410 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: to spit it. It's obvious the numbers are there. You 411 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: just use your eyes. I use my eyes. I see 412 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: lots of homeless people at another ladies screaming today at 413 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: the bagel shop, another one that's four. The clerk had 414 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: that chased her out of the bagel shop out onto 415 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: Wilsire Boulevard, and she she she almost swung at him. 416 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: She picked up a chair and started to swing it 417 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: at him, and she looked like she was seventy five 418 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: years old. Jessica Lald, chief executive of the Central City Association, 419 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: a downtown business coup, said in an interview that she 420 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: had encountered women in venice in downtown, both partially naked 421 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: and in dire straits now almost daily them matter where 422 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: I am in the city, there is some sad and 423 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: horrifying thing that I see. It's just really bleak. Now 424 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: what they tout among his accomplishments. Let me say this 425 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: about that would be the twenty eighth Summer Olympics coming 426 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: to southern California, primarily Los Angeles. Only nobody wanted them. 427 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: I think Paris was the only bitter people forget that 428 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: major cities around the world didn't want the Olympics. It 429 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: wasn't that hard to get two weeks of a sporting 430 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: event six years from now, it's nothing anyone cares about. 431 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: And the other night I actually looked at all the 432 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: Olympic venues. A lot of them aren't even in Los Angeles. 433 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: They're spread out all over the place. Yeah, I think 434 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: what we're using. Sofi Stadium was his Inglewood. Yeah, all 435 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: the way out. Oh yeah, Sofi saving out to Riverside, 436 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: Santa Monica, I think is going to be used Unda 437 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: Center in Anaheim, Rose Bowl in Pasadena. I mean, the 438 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: southern California region got the Olympics. But it again, it's 439 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: two weeks six years from now in the summer, and 440 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: it's two weeks that a lot of people are gonna 441 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: are gonna bolt LA four, which is what happened in 442 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. A lot of people left down because 443 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: they didn't want to deal with the hassle. Here's part 444 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: of the tongue bath Garcetti might look back fondly on 445 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: the highlight moments, such as late night TV appearances with 446 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: his friend Jimmy Kimmel, or playing piano alongside Moby and 447 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: the La Philharmonic. That's what the youngest mayor in a 448 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: hundred years the first Jew elected to the post. An 449 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: affluent Spanish speaker guard he said he seemed like a 450 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: man tailor made for a hyperdiverse la. It's all this 451 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: superficial what's the color of your skin, what's your ethnicity, 452 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: what's the religion? Hey, look at that he was on 453 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: he was on a TV show. Hey, look at that 454 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: he was on stage. What in meantime, mountains of homeless people, 455 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: mountains of garbage, an incredible amount of crime and how 456 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: much did they give to that? Why don't we talk 457 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: to all the why don't we talk to the families 458 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: of the people who were killed or stabbed or otherwise 459 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: injured from the criminals? Well, they mentioned the Rick Jacobs scandal, 460 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: his top aide, who is harassing and sexually harassing everybody 461 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: around the orbit of the city Hall. They do bring 462 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: that up in the salute to Garcetti, that he's got 463 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: that weirdo Rick Jacobs. I mean, how disgusting was it? 464 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: He had this big, tall, bald guy forcing his mouth 465 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: on everybody, men, women, grabbing them, squeezing them. Here comes 466 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: the mouth, Here comes the tongue. It's like, come on, 467 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: can you imagine having somebody on your staff doing that 468 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: all day in front of you, and everybody's complaining about it, 469 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: and you just want to sit and stare. That's a 470 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: weird story. There's something else to that story too. No 471 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: guy watches another guy shoving his mouth on everybody in 472 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: the office. It doesn't say anything. Nobody does that. There's 473 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: something else to that story. Oh, this one's pretty good. 474 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: Shortly after President Trump took office in twenty seventeen, a 475 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: group of activists for immigrants rights pressed for a meeting 476 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: with Garcetti. But when they told Linda Lopez, who headed 477 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: Garcetti's Office of Immigrant Affairs, that la should be declared 478 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: a sanctuary city, they recalled her, saying that the stance 479 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: quote would not bode well in the rust belt. That's 480 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: a reference to him wanting to run for presidents, you see. 481 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: And that's twenty seventeen. Yes, that that's four years into 482 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: his run and three years before the election for president. Well, 483 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: remember he ran briefly in twenty twenty, although he denied it. 484 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: Oh he did run. Yeah, Well, he because he's a liar. 485 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: He denies everything. He denies. You know that he was 486 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: a failure on homelessness, by the way. You know what 487 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: was in this story, which should have been the headline, 488 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: How the hell did the housing that they're building for 489 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: the homeless hit eight hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars 490 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: a unit? What date did that happen? Last I saw 491 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: it was seven hundred thousand. Now it's eight thirty seven, 492 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: eight hundred thirty seven thousand dollars for an almost person's unit. Well, 493 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: can Karen Bass really do worse? Oh? She will? All right, 494 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: We're coming up to Jhnny ken k I AM six 495 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. Garsetti set a low bar, 496 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: but she's gonna duck under it. A couple of things 497 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: to talk about concerning the murder of the four college 498 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: students from the University of Idaho and they're off campus. 499 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: House will visit with Alex Stone, ABC News for KFI 500 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: at four oh five, and next week there are gonna 501 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: be congressional hearings about the FTX bankruptcy and the man 502 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: behind it all, Sam Bankman freed billions apparently missing. It's 503 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: the crypto exchange, and of course it's causing real havoc 504 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: in the whole crypto market world. We'll talk about all 505 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: this four o'clock hour there was another file dump about Twitter. 506 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: It's came last night, and apparently it does what you thought. 507 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: It says what you probably thought it would say that 508 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: they were limiting the speech and the news stories from 509 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: people who were either outright conservative or skeptics of things 510 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: like the lockdowns. Yeah, and it was pretty dirty stuff 511 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: this Twitter crowd, because not only did they restrict a 512 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: post so that nobody would see it, they then repeatedly 513 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: lied that they were doing it, and people called it 514 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: shadow banning. Their term was visually filtered or something that 515 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: was that what Twitter said. Yeah, they would say, oh, 516 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: oh wait, visibility filtersibility filtering. Okay, but you see, aren't 517 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: they clever. It's like, oh no, we didn't shadow band 518 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: because they had another term for it. Yes, it was 519 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of of weasels. And and so they restricted 520 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: a professor up at Stanford. I don't know if we 521 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: had him on, Yeah, we think to. I think mentioned 522 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: a lot. He was always in the group of skeptics. 523 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: One of the things he was really strong on was 524 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: it's not going to bother children. Let him go to school, 525 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: don't shut down the schools. And doctor Jay about a 526 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: chath got very long name that I don't. I don't 527 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: know how to close enough, I'm sure, But the thing 528 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: is he was right, and he and there was already 529 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: enough reason and research out to back up why he 530 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: was right. But Twitter, like so many in the media, 531 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: decided that that particular view was not permitted because we 532 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: say so why because they had this because they thought 533 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: it came from the world of looney, false, fake news misinformation. 534 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: Were doing the right thing, first of all, keeping it 535 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: from other Twitter users because they were going to get 536 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: Limissa lad But it was a Stanford professor and the 537 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: research came out fairly quickly that children were a very 538 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: poor conveyor of the virus and that when they got 539 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: it there was little to no symptoms and nearly all 540 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: the kids. So again this was willful. You can't have 541 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 1: a belief when there's a ton of scientific evidence. And 542 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: this was the crowd that was constantly shouting they're gonna 543 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: follow those science here. Well, when the science was against 544 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: their weird ideological agenda, then they weren't following the science. 545 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: So and this is as close as I've ever seen 546 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: to having like a tutalitarian style regime like they've had 547 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union in China, where there's an official authority, 548 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: and they all have these vague titles and vague committees 549 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: that they run, and really what it is is just 550 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: clapped down on speech or you get punished, you don't 551 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: get to speak to anyone. If you don't say what 552 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: we think you should say about children catching COVID, then 553 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: you can't say anything at all to anybody. And that 554 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: and then that extended far beyond to just general political opinions, 555 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: just opposing views on issues of the day. Visibility filtering 556 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: was they use this to block searches of individual users, 557 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: to limit the scope of a particular tweet's discoverability, to 558 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: block select users posts from ever appearing in the trending 559 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: page and from inclusion in hashtag searches, all without the 560 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: user's knowledge. This is why all the left wing freaks 561 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: are screaming about Elon Musk, because they thought this was 562 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: their playground and that there was an effective government keeping 563 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: other people out of their playground. They could just talk 564 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: to each other all day, agree with each other all day, 565 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: organized to cancel people, organize their they're stupid boycotts and revolts. 566 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: And now Musk says, no, we're gonna let anyone in 567 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: and all these disagreeable points of view can be aired, 568 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: all right when we come back. Alex Stone ABC News 569 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: for KFI about the search for the killer or killers 570 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: of the Idaho college students and this obsession now going 571 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: on one day over a car that may have been 572 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: at the scene that they're looking for.
