Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caf I Am six forty. You're listening to the John
and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. And
we're on the air on the radio one until four
every day and then after four o'clock if you missed
the show or you want to relive every moment Johnny
Kent on demand podcast on the iHeart app. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, well we got Friday, so we're gonna have the
Moistline people back for the first time in two weeks.
We're gonna throw a hack into the dumpster, returning Hack
into a dumpster kind of to its original roots where
it was a lot of local new face hacks that
we just decided did something stupid or said something outrageous
that we would throw in the dumpster.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's what's happening today.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
This person not really on our radar and never certainly
never thrown into our dumpster before. Sometimes we begin the
show where we ended it yesterday, and I'm looking at
a replay of that card chase that fascinated everybody in
the three o'clock into the four o'clock hour. It ended
up around four to twenty pm, right he went off
(01:00):
the air when the guy's stolen car got boxed in
by a pickup truck on Crenshaw Boulevard. And I guess
the odd thing that happened because I'm looking at a
video which is still running. He tried to crawl out
the driver's side window head first, got stuck.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So, yeah, his.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Hands are on the ground like he's trying to do
a handstand. And yeah, you can see his his pants
got pulled down as he's leaning out the window. You know,
he goes back and forth. He got he got back in,
but he still is just kind of wavering there.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
He was hanging out for a while and it's his
pants were pulled off. Yeah, and that was down from
what I can see. Well, yeah, but I mean they
were like they were out of sight. And eventually his
somersaults down onto the pavement and his rear end in
his boxer shorts. Was the door not work or I
(01:54):
think something on his pants got snagged?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But why was he trying to crawl out the window
when he could have just opened door and surrendered. I
don't have an answer why he tried to crawl out
that tiny driver's side window when this Mercedes I don't
really probably high, I don't know who it Eventually just
lays flat and you know he's got the Sometimes you
can't tell, because there are still some people that have
(02:17):
that look where they wear the pants down around the knees.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Maybe the most is the underwear. The more he climbed out,
the more the pants was getting pulled off, right, But
he may have had that look anyway. That was like,
you know, remember that gangs to look from years ago.
I don't think it's as popular as it was fifteen
or twenty years ago, where guys would wear their pants
down around their knees and expose their underwear as they walked.
(02:41):
That was very hip for a while. That's a hip
among who, well, criminals, young hot, cool people right who
didn't have jobs because or people that want to be criminals.
They want to look like they want to be criminals.
Did you ever see anybody working wearing a get up
like that? Somebody actually had a job at work, or
they could be that way on their own time. But
(03:04):
you're right, you've never gone into a workplace. I've never
seen work. Yeah, I never got served by a guy
with his pants around his knees, Not even at your
insurance company or accounting firm or anything. No walking around,
not at the doctor's office. I a doctor never walked
in with his pants around his knees. Oh, that would be.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Funny, right, Well, he's trying to make you feel more
comfortable because eventually, for your prostate exam, you're gonna have
to have your pants.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, that's right. You want a prostate exam from a
guy with his pants around his knees. It's already. That's
a quick getaway.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The only thing we couldn't and I don't have an
answer to the flag that was hanging. We did the
sun well, I don't know the country, don't know the reason.
There's no follow up on the banner of the sideways.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Looking at all the news stories, and nobody had a
definite answer. Nobody even tried to answer it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Why was he and we imagine it was his and
he hung it there, Although if he stole this car,
was he walking around with this flag with them? And
he hops in the car and then hangs it from
the sun roof.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
But he drives all right. But as of October first,
there's no bail for auto theft. Oh, it's a good point.
So he did this too soon, So he's a little early,
like a few days too early. A week. Now. I
wish to god there was a way to track and
see how little time this guy's going to get if
(04:18):
any I mean, he may not get a day in jail. Well,
he didn't hurt anybody, it's non non violent, right, Well
then then anything get any cars or hit any people
or hit any then why are we chasing him? A
lot of people do question that, why we're still doing this?
Why are we chasing him? Because even if he gets caught,
(04:40):
he's not going to jail. The chargers are going to
be either knocked down or dismissed entirely. So it just becomes,
you know, an hour of entertainment on television. Yeah, that's
the way to pass an hour on a Thursday. After
sure it worked for people. Sure that all the channels
had covered it. I'm pretty good ratings whatever, I mean,
they they just put on judge shows in the afternoon.
(05:02):
So this is right.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And the thing about chases is it's the unknown how
it's gonna end up. Ninety percent of the time it
ends up at the guy just surrendering flat down on
the pavement. But once in a while, a guy escapes.
Once in a while. Unfortunately, this's a terrible crash.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I bet your life's gonna change. October first. Why wouldn't
this go on all day? Oh a hundred times a day?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well, allegedly under that no bail, Like the second or
third time you do something, then they're gonna make bail.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They're gonna give you bail. You can't just keep doing
this and get no bail. I mean in a row,
but everybody gets a freebie. You and I can go
steal a car next, Yes, the first time, you'd probably,
especially since we don't have criminal records. Yeah, so certainly
let us what what is today? Today is the twenty
second of September, all right? So next Fridays the twenty ninth,
it's Sunday October first. Sunday October first, so so Monday
(05:48):
October second, you and I can go separately and steal
a car and then and then do like street racing.
You want to try this out? Well, nothing bad is
gonna happen. Nope, probably not right, So they want to
do it? Have fun? All right? You first? No, we
go at the same time.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, you start before me. Wait, you're gonna steal a car?
Do you don't how to do that?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
No? I was hoping you would know.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Although why in the last week I walked by somebody
that just left their car running outside of home.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I think it was like a food delivery guy. There
you go.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I could hear the engine that I could see the
car was unlocked, and the guy there was no one
to be seen.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I could have just hopped in there and we enjoy ride.
Oh okay, well, yea twice in a week I saw
this food delivery guys.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think it was because they don't want to be
bothered turning off the car. And they'll sometimes part ill
really quickly. And yeah, they think that they're just gonna
run up to the doorbelly come back, but you want
to keep it by for a good thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It was still sitting there, so I would have plenty
And now were you attempted, You were tempted, then, huh, well,
you know, to teach this youngster or lesson what's the
matter with you? Does that little thing? Is that? And
everybody when you when you see something like that, and
it's just like, you know, I god to jump in
and steal that car just for the fun of it.
Show this idiots, just to see what it's like to
get chased by the thrill of the thrill of it. Yeah,
(07:07):
the thrill of doing something wrong that you never considered,
like to be chased by the god. Yeah, I get these.
Well you know what, that is an urge, but it'll
wear off quickly when to start getting chased to be like,
what the hell did I do? That's on my list
of weird urges? Oh I do. I increasingly think of
this now when I'm in stories. It's like, I just
steal this stuff. Okay, well, you know, I'm looking forward
(07:29):
to the day where I'm doing the show alone because
you've been booked. I'm again no bail. I'm He'll be
right back doing the show. I'm a crime waiting to happen.
In another story related to the world of crime, they
did arrest, oh no, a homeless woman for those fires
in Rosita. Remember that story that we covered. Yes, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
During a seventy two hour period during the second week
of September, the LA Fire Department responded to fourteen suspicious
fires involving rubbish to bring a vegetation. I think what
this woman did. One of the fires there was like
a I guess a gardener truck. That hell, a whole
bunch of shrubs in the back of the pickup and
she just slip that on fire. That was like the
worst of the damage. That's a woman. Huh, yes, that
(08:10):
is that? That is your yet, salas are you're yet?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You're yet? Your yes? Has had a rough time and
at least one media outlet says she is homeless. Yeah,
I mean that's uh, look at those eyes. Huh. They're
charging her with at least four of the fires so far. Well,
what are they gonna do with her? She's insane? So
I bet you no time for her either.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
This is one of the worst things that the vagrants
can do. Well, obviously killing somebody and sexually assaulting somebody,
but setting these fires, which is this is not the
first time that they've arrested a vague. Remember the guy
in the bicycle that was riding around setting cars on
fiery car ports?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So what has she? All these cases pile up on
Gascon's desk and he's got ten thousand of them.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Now does she get no bail to what happens with
the setting fires? Uh, you know, than stealing her truck?
But I remember, I remember when we.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Were talking about all the changes that certain types of
arson crimes were not considered serious felonies. Now, well, she's.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Admitted to four of the fires, so that's why they're
charging her with those right now. And oh yeah, she's
been charged previously with it just says here, various felonies
a myssed of me.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yes, so she's insane. So what do you do with
her after you run her through the system? Then what
permanent prison? That's what you and I say that was
the purpose of things like three strikes some people it's over, Well,
they just need to be taken out of society. Permanent
looks like she admitted to four strikes right here, she
sounds like she did.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You're listening to John and Ken on Demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Forty on the radio one to four after four o'clock.
I heart have azer John and Ken on demand podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The story that has given us so much pleasure and
surprise all week as another chapter today. It was last
Sunday when an F thirty five B Lightning two fighter
jet disappear. The pilot ejected and it took another day
or so for it to be found. Fortunately it did
crash landed a place where there was no population, and
(10:10):
of course it's ruined. It's one hundred million dollars jet.
The chapter today is that the pilot after ejected, and
it almost sounds.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Like he got ejected anyway. The plane just threw him out.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He wandered around the neighborhood, made his way to a
family's home in the backyard. He parachuted in and he
knocked on their door, and he wanted to call nine
one one. Now, imagine you're the nine to one one
dispatcher and a man's calling you to say I lost
my plane.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, here is the story from NBC news. I'm sorry
what happened.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
We got a pilot in the house and I guess
he landed in my backyard, and we're trying to see
if we could get a ambulance to the house.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Then the pilot took the phone.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
How old is the patient?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
We had a military jet crash. I'm the pilot. We
need to get drowing. I'm not sure where the airplane is.
It would have craft landed somewhere, I ejected.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
The forty seven year old pilot described a harrowing escape.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
How car did he fall of the two thousand feet?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Okay? And what the fall? An aircraft failure?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
The Marine Corps says the pilot ejected around one thirty
Sunday afternoon, and residents reported feeling their homes shaking after two,
meaning the plane could have been flying on autopilot for
more than a half hour. The pilot ejected in North Charleston,
but the jet ended up eighty miles away in Williamsburg County.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Usually airplanes other military aircraft in which the pilot ejected
the airplane will fly for a while, maybe thirty seconds
to a minute, but several minutes that is surprising.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
According to Department of Defense officials, The pilot was taken
to the hospital and released on Monday. A stunning story
of survival after that mysterious crash. And now, guys, the
officials say that that crash site is secure, including the
airspace around it, and that investigation will last now for
several months. Savannah Well have blend any more information on
why it took so long to find that jet. Yeah,
(12:10):
there were several factors involved in the Savannah one. The
weather that day was just bad. They were dealing with
heavy thunderstorms, so that made visibility low. Also, their focus
at the time was finding the pilot that was put first.
But the Marine Corps also says that several of the
security features on that jet also made it difficult to track.
For instance, the stealth capabilities they say made it so
that they had to use non traditional means to find
(12:32):
that fighter jet Savannah.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
What does that to mean just flying over with binoculars?
Is that no? Non traditional? Non traditional means everything? A
stupid euphemism that makes no sense. Yes, beyond double talk
is designed to confuse you because we don't want to
tell you the truth we had. Does you mean you
use your eyesight? That what you leading? A government watchdog
report says that there are maintenance problems with these fighter
(12:55):
jets and their mission capable only fifty five percent of
the time. So it sounds like they got a way
to go with this program, which so far has cost
one point seven trillion dollars. This f thirty five program.
So half the time when they start the jet up,
it doesn't work, or it's not totally ready for its mission. Whatever.
(13:16):
Maybe one part of one system is so. But if
we get invaded by you know, some some other countries
jets and we have to send our jets up there,
half of them aren't going to start this one may
not be ready, right, And that's for one hundred million
dollar yard. And then the big deal here is Yeah,
each one is about one hundred hundred million dollars and
they only start half the time. Yeah, that's wise than
(13:40):
some airlines on time here for me. You know how
corrupt I mean this military industrial complex is. You see
how corrupt it is. What company made this? And it
only works half the time. Well, and we're paying for
this stealth like state of the art. It takes a
lot of technology put the Yeah, this kind of state
(14:01):
of the art means it works every time. That's state
of the art half the time. You're not even close.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
The reports all it ended up inverted before it crashed,
and people did hear it crash, but it did take
some time to find verty. But it's like flipped upside down.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It did, it was upside down. It's one hundred million dollars.
All right, they got more working mess.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
Am six forty on.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
The air one to four after four o'clock. iHeart after
the Johnny Can on demand podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, one of the big national stories today is quite
the La City councilman who was bribed with poker chips
and was actually shown on a video walking up to
a casino cashier's cage trying to cash in the poker
chips that he got as part of a bribe on
the La City Council from a developer. Well, this time
it's a New Jersey United States senator by the name
of Bob Menendez, and the thing that's making headlines is
(14:57):
the bribe involved gold bars up actual gold bars. One
of the indictments says that and his wife was also
heavily involved in this. His wife is Nie Dene Menendez.
Back in March of twenty twenty two, one of the
people that bribed them gave the wife two gold bars
that were a kilogram each. At the time, gold went
(15:18):
for sixty thousand dollars per kilogram. One of the other
side stories making headlines here in the indictment is that
Bob Menendez around that very time, was googling how much
is a kilogram of goldworth? And that would have been
your answer in March of twenty twenty two, about sixty
thousand dollars. So it's like they were just handed the
gold bars. They're like, well, we're gonna go home five with.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
These are worth? Make sure this is a worthy bribe.
This is not the first time Menendez has been charged.
We covered his twenty fifteen case, but that I think
ended up in a hung jury and they gave up. Yeah,
assuming the case against but he had taken bribes from
an eye doctor in Florida, an ophthalmologist. Yes, remember that.
And remember the prosecutors were also saying that he was
(16:00):
engaging in illicit sexual acts with teenage hookers in the
Dominican Republic. Oh, that's right, remember that part of the
case too, And yeah, it was a hung jelry. So
he got off and you know, he's a sleeze bag.
He's a dirty sleeze bag. And as soon as he
got off that case in twenty seventeen, in twenty eighteen,
he went back and started doing business with some Egyptians.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, this woman he married. He married her after that
whole twenty fifteen case. This woman Nadine, and she's heavily
involved in this A year's long scheme included more than
one hundred thousand dollars in gold bars in exchange for
helping the government of Egypt and protecting interest of three
wealthy businessmen. That's the extent of the case. Including a
(16:45):
Mercedes Benz convertible that was obtained for them as part
of the bribe. They say this one from twenty eighteen
through twenty twenty two. And I think he married her
in twenty eighteen from what I.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Remember in the case. But they raided his home.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
They found the twenty nineteen Mercedes C Class, at least
thirteen gold bars and five hundred and sixty six thousand
dollars in cash, and he had stashed in the house,
hidden in clothing closets and safes.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yes, stuffed into envelopes, including jackets that had his name
on him, centered him Menendez, and it was they show
all one hundred dollar bills on top of the jacket.
What immediate goofball? Yeah, and he's running around claiming his innocence.
I mean they had the photographs. Oh, he says, this
is just normal US senate business. They are they are misconstruing.
(17:33):
Maybe maybe that's true. Maybe all these maybe it's true,
are on the take here what Yeah, they also got mortgage.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Payments, home furnishings, and thirty thousand dollars for a I've
never heard this term before, A low show or no
show job for the wife.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I guess low show means you just show up a
couple hours a week or something like that. Maybe wasn't
a complete no show. Do you know he was the
chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I know, one
of the most egypt important committees. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And
I heard that publicly he was not a fan of Egypt,
but clearly privately he was helping out the government. That
seems to be part of the case here. Well, if
(18:12):
they're going to pay you hundreds of thousands of dollars,
you start getting gold bars in the mail, then you'll
become a fan real fast. He allegedly provided substantial military
aid to Egypt, such as handing over sensitive information from
the US government and annual grants of over a billion
dollars in foreign military financing. According to the indictment, Senator
(18:32):
Menendez allegedly provided sensitive, non public US government information to
Egyptian officials and otherwise took steps to secretly aid the
government of Egypt. The case here, they gave him a Mercedes.
They gave him at least thirteen gold bars. Thirteen gold bars. Yeah.
The one of the businessmen it's involved in the case
(18:55):
that got indicted agreed to buy Menendez and his wife
the convertible Mercedes worth about six grand in April of
twenty nineteen. He actually met with her in a parking lot,
gave her fifteen thousand dollars in cash, and she used
as a down payment on the car. So was he
working these grants into military finance bills? Since he's the
(19:16):
head of the Senate committee, it went over to the
pear to be that he used his position. So when
the annual budget came up, and you know, they spent
like a trillion dollars on the military, so he could
just sneak in a billion for the Egyptian government. In return,
they gave him a pile of gold bars. Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He tried to help out an Edgewater, New Jersey, real
estate developer in a federal case he faced by meeting
with potential candidates for the New Jersey's attorney position, recommending
that they swayed the matter in favor of the businessman.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
He's also the thing is the only thing not in
this is hookers. Like in the old indictment, there were
Dominican hookers involved the anything about But like you know,
Biden was doing dirty deals with China, and you Menendez
is doing dirty deals with Egypt. That's all these guys do.
This is why they're there.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I mean, it looks like his connection to Egypt was
through this wife, because it says here Menendez met one
of the businessmen, an Egyptian immigrant, through his wife Nadine,
who had been friends with that guy for years prior
to here starting to date Menendez in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Because if they have almost a half a million in cash,
and they got thirteen gold bars at sixty thousand a bar,
well between the two, that's over a million dollars right there,
well plus the Mercedes.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I know, but sensitive public, sensitive military documents. Isn't that treason?
Shouldn't we hang them?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yes? Okay, I didn't think you're asking for my opinion.
Menendez would ghostwrite a request letter on behalf of Egypt
to convince the other senators to release a hold on
three hundred million dollars in aid to Egypt. So the
Egyptian of fish had a letter begging the senators for
(21:03):
three hundred million dollars, and Menendez is the one who
wrote it. He sent the letter from his personal account.
I think through his wife.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I see that she conveyed a request from an Egyptian
official to Menendez to draft a letter, and then he
sent the letter to his wife, and then she forwarded
it to another woman who related to Egyptian officials. You
see how they tried to launder the evidence by passing
(21:43):
the letter around through these channels to make it more
difficult to track down. Yeah, yeah, and it says I'm
looking up the wife here. In early twenty nineteen, Menendez
and his new girlfriend, Nadine Arslenian, who were riding high.
He had just avoided the federal bribery conviction as trial
(22:05):
ended with a hung jury, and then the couple began
traveling the world. So, oh, so he married this woman
after the oh yeah, after the first case. Did he
have a wife before? Did she die or something? Something
I remembered about her. But anyway, because he was he
was getting bribes from this Florida eye doctor and it
was some kind of medicare scam if I remember. And
(22:26):
what he got in that case was a private jet,
three nights at a five star hotel in Paris, seven
hundred thousand dollars in political contributions, and the underage hookers
and the Dominican that that was the package of prizes
The New York Times says this woman that he married
apparently had had financial problems, and by twenty twenty, the
(22:48):
Yearcia Menendez were married, she had formed an international consulting
company and her assets including oh bars of gold bullion.
So this seems to be her thing, was collecting the
collecting the gold bars. So they probably worked on this
scheme together.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
She would help some of her friends and their problems
and help the Egyptian government in return for these kinds of.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Years, they had to share an interest in the corruption. Yes, yeah,
that's that's apparently the case. Dendez is a dirty, sleazy rat. Yeah.
I think this time they got him pretty good. Yeah,
I can't believe even without the hookers, John and under it.
But he got elected after the first corruption case.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He did well, Yeah, because it was dropped. And yeah,
incumbents do very well.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
All right, I head next hour, we're going to play
a special investigative team report from NBC Channel four about
all the restaurant robberies, the ones that you know, certain
media outlets want you to believe. No more than usual
going on, right, This one is quite quite startling the
way it's all put together nicely in this by the
NBC Investigated team.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Will play that right after the news at two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
We were gonna do this story during the last hour
of the show yesterday, but we got interrupted.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
By a police chase involving a guy waving a flag
from the sun roof of the car who got caught
just after the show ended. The Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom is Rishi Sunak, and like California, they had
announced that beginning in the year twenty thirty, you could
not buy any new gasoline or diesel cars in that nation.
(24:33):
You couldn't now in US where US it's twenty thirty five.
That was the big thing.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
In fact, they announced that the United Kingdom was gonna
go net zero by the year twenty fifty net zero,
so their carbon emissions would be pretty much shet at
a no level. So the announcement was made this week
that that's not gonna happen. He announced that he's delayed
by five years, so now their ban on new gasoline
(25:00):
and diesel car purchases will be the same as California's.
It's moving to twenty thirty five. He also weakened demand
on new natural gas home furnaces due to start in
twenty thirty five. That debate again and scraped the requirement
for landlords to make properties more energy efficient.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So either he pushed.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Back everything or he scrapped some of their ambitious plans.
And of course the blowback from the climate groups was severe,
and we know that in that country there have been
people blocking traffic because they believe that not as enough
as being done to restrict carbon emissions.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You know what triggered this though, Yeah? What somebody lost
an election because because in England you have the Labor Party,
which is the Liberal Party, and then the Conservative Party. Correct,
the Conservative Party had gone along with all the climate
change hysteria. And then there was a special election and
(26:01):
the big issue was the tax on cars in London.
The London mayor had a tax on older vehicles in post. Yeah,
they've already had congestion pricing, but they added this older
vehicle tax, right, and so somebody in the Conservative Party
ran against that idea and he won and they took
(26:26):
up the Prime minister. It happened in the London Uxbridge
district Uxbridge, and so now the Conservatives think that getting
rid of the green policies is a big vote winner,
and that they can prevent national defeat by the end
of twenty twenty four. And that's what you got to
do to end this nonsense. You start, you know, we
(26:47):
got to bring back political human sacrifice next year because
this is going to happen in California people. I can't
believe what people are putting up with here. It's really shocking.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Because political human sacrifice, we sacrifice some Republicans who are
too soft on the border policies. Do we have Republicans
in California that favor these climate cutbacks? Or you using
political human sacrifice in a general sense, in a general
because it works because you could see in London they
were all set to there wouldn't be a single gas
(27:20):
powered car that you could buy after twenty thirty, which
is just you know, six not even six and a
half years away.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And now one special election in one district and and
suddenly the tide is turned. The Prime Minister is revoking
this and that, and one of their big political parties
is saying, hey, we're gonna run on this because what
they want to do is win. None of these stupid
bastards care about the environment, and there's nothing they can
(27:49):
do about it. I find it's so silly that that
politicians and people believe these politicians, Oh, yes, we cut
back our missions and catavoria, that's going to reduce global warming.
No it's not, you fool, you wire, you know it's not.
So you know, we got to start. We must vote
for different people and get off this bandwagon. It's extremely damaging.
(28:12):
Remember Florida, Florida and other southern states are paying about
half what we're paying for gas. I saw yesterday gas
station seven dollars and fifty cents seven fifty Florida when
I left was three forty wit. What's wrong with you?
The working people have to rise up because they're the
(28:33):
ones that pay the biggest price for this. And when
they're asking polls, yeah, we need to do more for
the climid but it doesn't they don't connect it to
the ridiculous gas prices that they're paying, in the fact
that California is being made to like the sacrificial experimental lamb.
Here the green greenhust gas emissions in the UK have
fallen by forty six percent in the last thirty plus
(28:55):
years because they removed coal from the electricity generation, right,
and and and so it's down forty six percent. Did
you notice that the atmosphere has not cooled. Britain did
all this and the atmosphere is still warming every year.
So they say, I don't believe that either, but let's
go with it. Okay, So what if they cut fifty
(29:17):
percent of the global emissions? No calling that.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Look, before long, we'll be saved because Newsom's going to
go to China and he's going to get them to
cut back their emissions and it's going to save the planet.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I just believe, Well, Newsom, I just believe. I just believe.
Is that a great phrase? I do believe. Just say
you believe?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
That's what I believe, because you know what his administration
is a masterclass and how to run governments.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
All Right, we got more coming up. Johnny Ken, KFI
AM six forty live everywhere I heard radio app Jebra,
Mark Clive and the twenty four hour Cafe news.
Speaker 2 (29:50):

You can always hear us live on CAFI AM six

and of course anytime I'm today on the iHeartRadio app,
Caf I Am six forty. You're listening to the John
and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. And
we're on the air on the radio one until four
every day and then after four o'clock if you missed
the show or you want to relive every moment Johnny
Kent on demand podcast on the iHeart app. Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, well we got Friday, so we're gonna have the
Moistline people back for the first time in two weeks.
We're gonna throw a hack into the dumpster, returning Hack
into a dumpster kind of to its original roots where
it was a lot of local new face hacks that
we just decided did something stupid or said something outrageous
that we would throw in the dumpster.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's what's happening today.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
This person not really on our radar and never certainly
never thrown into our dumpster before. Sometimes we begin the
show where we ended it yesterday, and I'm looking at
a replay of that card chase that fascinated everybody in
the three o'clock into the four o'clock hour. It ended
up around four to twenty pm, right he went off
(01:00):
the air when the guy's stolen car got boxed in
by a pickup truck on Crenshaw Boulevard. And I guess
the odd thing that happened because I'm looking at a
video which is still running. He tried to crawl out
the driver's side window head first, got stuck.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So, yeah, his.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Hands are on the ground like he's trying to do
a handstand. And yeah, you can see his his pants
got pulled down as he's leaning out the window. You know,
he goes back and forth. He got he got back in,
but he still is just kind of wavering there.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
He was hanging out for a while and it's his
pants were pulled off. Yeah, and that was down from
what I can see. Well, yeah, but I mean they
were like they were out of sight. And eventually his
somersaults down onto the pavement and his rear end in
his boxer shorts. Was the door not work or I
(01:54):
think something on his pants got snagged?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But why was he trying to crawl out the window
when he could have just opened door and surrendered. I
don't have an answer why he tried to crawl out
that tiny driver's side window when this Mercedes I don't
really probably high, I don't know who it Eventually just
lays flat and you know he's got the Sometimes you
can't tell, because there are still some people that have
(02:17):
that look where they wear the pants down around the knees.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Maybe the most is the underwear. The more he climbed out,
the more the pants was getting pulled off, right, But
he may have had that look anyway. That was like,
you know, remember that gangs to look from years ago.
I don't think it's as popular as it was fifteen
or twenty years ago, where guys would wear their pants
down around their knees and expose their underwear as they walked.
(02:41):
That was very hip for a while. That's a hip
among who, well, criminals, young hot, cool people right who
didn't have jobs because or people that want to be criminals.
They want to look like they want to be criminals.
Did you ever see anybody working wearing a get up
like that? Somebody actually had a job at work, or
they could be that way on their own time. But
(03:04):
you're right, you've never gone into a workplace. I've never
seen work. Yeah, I never got served by a guy
with his pants around his knees, Not even at your
insurance company or accounting firm or anything. No walking around,
not at the doctor's office. I a doctor never walked
in with his pants around his knees. Oh, that would be.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Funny, right, Well, he's trying to make you feel more
comfortable because eventually, for your prostate exam, you're gonna have
to have your pants.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, that's right. You want a prostate exam from a
guy with his pants around his knees. It's already. That's
a quick getaway.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The only thing we couldn't and I don't have an
answer to the flag that was hanging. We did the
sun well, I don't know the country, don't know the reason.
There's no follow up on the banner of the sideways.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Looking at all the news stories, and nobody had a
definite answer. Nobody even tried to answer it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Why was he and we imagine it was his and
he hung it there, Although if he stole this car,
was he walking around with this flag with them? And
he hops in the car and then hangs it from
the sun roof.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
But he drives all right. But as of October first,
there's no bail for auto theft. Oh, it's a good point.
So he did this too soon, So he's a little early,
like a few days too early. A week. Now. I
wish to god there was a way to track and
see how little time this guy's going to get if
(04:18):
any I mean, he may not get a day in jail. Well,
he didn't hurt anybody, it's non non violent, right, Well
then then anything get any cars or hit any people
or hit any then why are we chasing him? A
lot of people do question that, why we're still doing this?
Why are we chasing him? Because even if he gets caught,
(04:40):
he's not going to jail. The chargers are going to
be either knocked down or dismissed entirely. So it just becomes,
you know, an hour of entertainment on television. Yeah, that's
the way to pass an hour on a Thursday. After
sure it worked for people. Sure that all the channels
had covered it. I'm pretty good ratings whatever, I mean,
they they just put on judge shows in the afternoon.
(05:02):
So this is right.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And the thing about chases is it's the unknown how
it's gonna end up. Ninety percent of the time it
ends up at the guy just surrendering flat down on
the pavement. But once in a while, a guy escapes.
Once in a while. Unfortunately, this's a terrible crash.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I bet your life's gonna change. October first. Why wouldn't
this go on all day? Oh a hundred times a day?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Well, allegedly under that no bail, Like the second or
third time you do something, then they're gonna make bail.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They're gonna give you bail. You can't just keep doing
this and get no bail. I mean in a row,
but everybody gets a freebie. You and I can go
steal a car next, Yes, the first time, you'd probably,
especially since we don't have criminal records. Yeah, so certainly
let us what what is today? Today is the twenty
second of September, all right? So next Fridays the twenty ninth,
it's Sunday October first. Sunday October first, so so Monday
(05:48):
October second, you and I can go separately and steal
a car and then and then do like street racing.
You want to try this out? Well, nothing bad is
gonna happen. Nope, probably not right, So they want to
do it? Have fun? All right? You first? No, we
go at the same time.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, you start before me. Wait, you're gonna steal a car?
Do you don't how to do that?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
No? I was hoping you would know.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Although why in the last week I walked by somebody
that just left their car running outside of home.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I think it was like a food delivery guy. There
you go.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I could hear the engine that I could see the
car was unlocked, and the guy there was no one
to be seen.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I could have just hopped in there and we enjoy ride.
Oh okay, well, yea twice in a week I saw
this food delivery guys.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think it was because they don't want to be
bothered turning off the car. And they'll sometimes part ill
really quickly. And yeah, they think that they're just gonna
run up to the doorbelly come back, but you want
to keep it by for a good thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It was still sitting there, so I would have plenty
And now were you attempted, You were tempted, then, huh, well,
you know, to teach this youngster or lesson what's the
matter with you? Does that little thing? Is that? And
everybody when you when you see something like that, and
it's just like, you know, I god to jump in
and steal that car just for the fun of it.
Show this idiots, just to see what it's like to
get chased by the thrill of the thrill of it. Yeah,
(07:07):
the thrill of doing something wrong that you never considered,
like to be chased by the god. Yeah, I get these.
Well you know what, that is an urge, but it'll
wear off quickly when to start getting chased to be like,
what the hell did I do? That's on my list
of weird urges? Oh I do. I increasingly think of
this now when I'm in stories. It's like, I just
steal this stuff. Okay, well, you know, I'm looking forward
(07:29):
to the day where I'm doing the show alone because
you've been booked. I'm again no bail. I'm He'll be
right back doing the show. I'm a crime waiting to happen.
In another story related to the world of crime, they
did arrest, oh no, a homeless woman for those fires
in Rosita. Remember that story that we covered. Yes, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
During a seventy two hour period during the second week
of September, the LA Fire Department responded to fourteen suspicious
fires involving rubbish to bring a vegetation. I think what
this woman did. One of the fires there was like
a I guess a gardener truck. That hell, a whole
bunch of shrubs in the back of the pickup and
she just slip that on fire. That was like the
worst of the damage. That's a woman. Huh, yes, that
(08:10):
is that? That is your yet, salas are you're yet?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You're yet? Your yes? Has had a rough time and
at least one media outlet says she is homeless. Yeah,
I mean that's uh, look at those eyes. Huh. They're
charging her with at least four of the fires so far. Well,
what are they gonna do with her? She's insane? So
I bet you no time for her either.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
This is one of the worst things that the vagrants
can do. Well, obviously killing somebody and sexually assaulting somebody,
but setting these fires, which is this is not the
first time that they've arrested a vague. Remember the guy
in the bicycle that was riding around setting cars on
fiery car ports?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So what has she? All these cases pile up on
Gascon's desk and he's got ten thousand of them.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Now does she get no bail to what happens with
the setting fires? Uh, you know, than stealing her truck?
But I remember, I remember when we.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Were talking about all the changes that certain types of
arson crimes were not considered serious felonies. Now, well, she's.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Admitted to four of the fires, so that's why they're
charging her with those right now. And oh yeah, she's
been charged previously with it just says here, various felonies
a myssed of me.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yes, so she's insane. So what do you do with
her after you run her through the system? Then what
permanent prison? That's what you and I say that was
the purpose of things like three strikes some people it's over, Well,
they just need to be taken out of society. Permanent
looks like she admitted to four strikes right here, she
sounds like she did.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
You're listening to John and Ken on Demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Forty on the radio one to four after four o'clock.
I heart have azer John and Ken on demand podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The story that has given us so much pleasure and
surprise all week as another chapter today. It was last
Sunday when an F thirty five B Lightning two fighter
jet disappear. The pilot ejected and it took another day
or so for it to be found. Fortunately it did
crash landed a place where there was no population, and
(10:10):
of course it's ruined. It's one hundred million dollars jet.
The chapter today is that the pilot after ejected, and
it almost sounds.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Like he got ejected anyway. The plane just threw him out.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
He wandered around the neighborhood, made his way to a
family's home in the backyard. He parachuted in and he
knocked on their door, and he wanted to call nine
one one. Now, imagine you're the nine to one one
dispatcher and a man's calling you to say I lost
my plane.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, here is the story from NBC news. I'm sorry
what happened.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
We got a pilot in the house and I guess
he landed in my backyard, and we're trying to see
if we could get a ambulance to the house.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Then the pilot took the phone.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
How old is the patient?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
We had a military jet crash. I'm the pilot. We
need to get drowing. I'm not sure where the airplane is.
It would have craft landed somewhere, I ejected.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
The forty seven year old pilot described a harrowing escape.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
How car did he fall of the two thousand feet?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Okay? And what the fall? An aircraft failure?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
The Marine Corps says the pilot ejected around one thirty
Sunday afternoon, and residents reported feeling their homes shaking after two,
meaning the plane could have been flying on autopilot for
more than a half hour. The pilot ejected in North Charleston,
but the jet ended up eighty miles away in Williamsburg County.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Usually airplanes other military aircraft in which the pilot ejected
the airplane will fly for a while, maybe thirty seconds
to a minute, but several minutes that is surprising.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
According to Department of Defense officials, The pilot was taken
to the hospital and released on Monday. A stunning story
of survival after that mysterious crash. And now, guys, the
officials say that that crash site is secure, including the
airspace around it, and that investigation will last now for
several months. Savannah Well have blend any more information on
why it took so long to find that jet. Yeah,
(12:10):
there were several factors involved in the Savannah one. The
weather that day was just bad. They were dealing with
heavy thunderstorms, so that made visibility low. Also, their focus
at the time was finding the pilot that was put first.
But the Marine Corps also says that several of the
security features on that jet also made it difficult to track.
For instance, the stealth capabilities they say made it so
that they had to use non traditional means to find
(12:32):
that fighter jet Savannah.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
What does that to mean just flying over with binoculars?
Is that no? Non traditional? Non traditional means everything? A
stupid euphemism that makes no sense. Yes, beyond double talk
is designed to confuse you because we don't want to
tell you the truth we had. Does you mean you
use your eyesight? That what you leading? A government watchdog
report says that there are maintenance problems with these fighter
(12:55):
jets and their mission capable only fifty five percent of
the time. So it sounds like they got a way
to go with this program, which so far has cost
one point seven trillion dollars. This f thirty five program.
So half the time when they start the jet up,
it doesn't work, or it's not totally ready for its mission. Whatever.
(13:16):
Maybe one part of one system is so. But if
we get invaded by you know, some some other countries
jets and we have to send our jets up there,
half of them aren't going to start this one may
not be ready, right, And that's for one hundred million
dollar yard. And then the big deal here is Yeah,
each one is about one hundred hundred million dollars and
they only start half the time. Yeah, that's wise than
(13:40):
some airlines on time here for me. You know how
corrupt I mean this military industrial complex is. You see
how corrupt it is. What company made this? And it
only works half the time. Well, and we're paying for
this stealth like state of the art. It takes a
lot of technology put the Yeah, this kind of state
(14:01):
of the art means it works every time. That's state
of the art half the time. You're not even close.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
The reports all it ended up inverted before it crashed,
and people did hear it crash, but it did take
some time to find verty. But it's like flipped upside down.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It did, it was upside down. It's one hundred million dollars.
All right, they got more working mess.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
Am six forty on.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
The air one to four after four o'clock. iHeart after
the Johnny Can on demand podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Well, one of the big national stories today is quite
the La City councilman who was bribed with poker chips
and was actually shown on a video walking up to
a casino cashier's cage trying to cash in the poker
chips that he got as part of a bribe on
the La City Council from a developer. Well, this time
it's a New Jersey United States senator by the name
of Bob Menendez, and the thing that's making headlines is
(14:57):
the bribe involved gold bars up actual gold bars. One
of the indictments says that and his wife was also
heavily involved in this. His wife is Nie Dene Menendez.
Back in March of twenty twenty two, one of the
people that bribed them gave the wife two gold bars
that were a kilogram each. At the time, gold went
(15:18):
for sixty thousand dollars per kilogram. One of the other
side stories making headlines here in the indictment is that
Bob Menendez around that very time, was googling how much
is a kilogram of goldworth? And that would have been
your answer in March of twenty twenty two, about sixty
thousand dollars. So it's like they were just handed the
gold bars. They're like, well, we're gonna go home five with.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
These are worth? Make sure this is a worthy bribe.
This is not the first time Menendez has been charged.
We covered his twenty fifteen case, but that I think
ended up in a hung jury and they gave up. Yeah,
assuming the case against but he had taken bribes from
an eye doctor in Florida, an ophthalmologist. Yes, remember that.
And remember the prosecutors were also saying that he was
(16:00):
engaging in illicit sexual acts with teenage hookers in the
Dominican Republic. Oh, that's right, remember that part of the
case too, And yeah, it was a hung jelry. So
he got off and you know, he's a sleeze bag.
He's a dirty sleeze bag. And as soon as he
got off that case in twenty seventeen, in twenty eighteen,
he went back and started doing business with some Egyptians.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, this woman he married. He married her after that
whole twenty fifteen case. This woman Nadine, and she's heavily
involved in this A year's long scheme included more than
one hundred thousand dollars in gold bars in exchange for
helping the government of Egypt and protecting interest of three
wealthy businessmen. That's the extent of the case. Including a
(16:45):
Mercedes Benz convertible that was obtained for them as part
of the bribe. They say this one from twenty eighteen
through twenty twenty two. And I think he married her
in twenty eighteen from what I.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Remember in the case. But they raided his home.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
They found the twenty nineteen Mercedes C Class, at least
thirteen gold bars and five hundred and sixty six thousand
dollars in cash, and he had stashed in the house,
hidden in clothing closets and safes.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yes, stuffed into envelopes, including jackets that had his name
on him, centered him Menendez, and it was they show
all one hundred dollar bills on top of the jacket.
What immediate goofball? Yeah, and he's running around claiming his innocence.
I mean they had the photographs. Oh, he says, this
is just normal US senate business. They are they are misconstruing.
(17:33):
Maybe maybe that's true. Maybe all these maybe it's true,
are on the take here what Yeah, they also got mortgage.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Payments, home furnishings, and thirty thousand dollars for a I've
never heard this term before, A low show or no
show job for the wife.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I guess low show means you just show up a
couple hours a week or something like that. Maybe wasn't
a complete no show. Do you know he was the
chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I know, one
of the most egypt important committees. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And
I heard that publicly he was not a fan of Egypt,
but clearly privately he was helping out the government. That
seems to be part of the case here. Well, if
(18:12):
they're going to pay you hundreds of thousands of dollars,
you start getting gold bars in the mail, then you'll
become a fan real fast. He allegedly provided substantial military
aid to Egypt, such as handing over sensitive information from
the US government and annual grants of over a billion
dollars in foreign military financing. According to the indictment, Senator
(18:32):
Menendez allegedly provided sensitive, non public US government information to
Egyptian officials and otherwise took steps to secretly aid the
government of Egypt. The case here, they gave him a Mercedes.
They gave him at least thirteen gold bars. Thirteen gold bars. Yeah.
The one of the businessmen it's involved in the case
(18:55):
that got indicted agreed to buy Menendez and his wife
the convertible Mercedes worth about six grand in April of
twenty nineteen. He actually met with her in a parking lot,
gave her fifteen thousand dollars in cash, and she used
as a down payment on the car. So was he
working these grants into military finance bills? Since he's the
(19:16):
head of the Senate committee, it went over to the
pear to be that he used his position. So when
the annual budget came up, and you know, they spent
like a trillion dollars on the military, so he could
just sneak in a billion for the Egyptian government. In return,
they gave him a pile of gold bars. Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
He tried to help out an Edgewater, New Jersey, real
estate developer in a federal case he faced by meeting
with potential candidates for the New Jersey's attorney position, recommending
that they swayed the matter in favor of the businessman.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
He's also the thing is the only thing not in
this is hookers. Like in the old indictment, there were
Dominican hookers involved the anything about But like you know,
Biden was doing dirty deals with China, and you Menendez
is doing dirty deals with Egypt. That's all these guys do.
This is why they're there.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I mean, it looks like his connection to Egypt was
through this wife, because it says here Menendez met one
of the businessmen, an Egyptian immigrant, through his wife Nadine,
who had been friends with that guy for years prior
to here starting to date Menendez in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Because if they have almost a half a million in cash,
and they got thirteen gold bars at sixty thousand a bar,
well between the two, that's over a million dollars right there,
well plus the Mercedes.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I know, but sensitive public, sensitive military documents. Isn't that treason?
Shouldn't we hang them?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yes? Okay, I didn't think you're asking for my opinion.
Menendez would ghostwrite a request letter on behalf of Egypt
to convince the other senators to release a hold on
three hundred million dollars in aid to Egypt. So the
Egyptian of fish had a letter begging the senators for
(21:03):
three hundred million dollars, and Menendez is the one who
wrote it. He sent the letter from his personal account.
I think through his wife.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I see that she conveyed a request from an Egyptian
official to Menendez to draft a letter, and then he
sent the letter to his wife, and then she forwarded
it to another woman who related to Egyptian officials. You
see how they tried to launder the evidence by passing
(21:43):
the letter around through these channels to make it more
difficult to track down. Yeah, yeah, and it says I'm
looking up the wife here. In early twenty nineteen, Menendez
and his new girlfriend, Nadine Arslenian, who were riding high.
He had just avoided the federal bribery conviction as trial
(22:05):
ended with a hung jury, and then the couple began
traveling the world. So, oh, so he married this woman
after the oh yeah, after the first case. Did he
have a wife before? Did she die or something? Something
I remembered about her. But anyway, because he was he
was getting bribes from this Florida eye doctor and it
was some kind of medicare scam if I remember. And
(22:26):
what he got in that case was a private jet,
three nights at a five star hotel in Paris, seven
hundred thousand dollars in political contributions, and the underage hookers
and the Dominican that that was the package of prizes
The New York Times says this woman that he married
apparently had had financial problems, and by twenty twenty, the
(22:48):
Yearcia Menendez were married, she had formed an international consulting
company and her assets including oh bars of gold bullion.
So this seems to be her thing, was collecting the
collecting the gold bars. So they probably worked on this
scheme together.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
She would help some of her friends and their problems
and help the Egyptian government in return for these kinds of.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Years, they had to share an interest in the corruption. Yes, yeah,
that's that's apparently the case. Dendez is a dirty, sleazy rat. Yeah.
I think this time they got him pretty good. Yeah,
I can't believe even without the hookers, John and under it.
But he got elected after the first corruption case.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He did well, Yeah, because it was dropped. And yeah,
incumbents do very well.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
All right, I head next hour, we're going to play
a special investigative team report from NBC Channel four about
all the restaurant robberies, the ones that you know, certain
media outlets want you to believe. No more than usual
going on, right, This one is quite quite startling the
way it's all put together nicely in this by the
NBC Investigated team.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Will play that right after the news at two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
We were gonna do this story during the last hour
of the show yesterday, but we got interrupted.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
By a police chase involving a guy waving a flag
from the sun roof of the car who got caught
just after the show ended. The Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom is Rishi Sunak, and like California, they had
announced that beginning in the year twenty thirty, you could
not buy any new gasoline or diesel cars in that nation.
(24:33):
You couldn't now in US where US it's twenty thirty five.
That was the big thing.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
In fact, they announced that the United Kingdom was gonna
go net zero by the year twenty fifty net zero,
so their carbon emissions would be pretty much shet at
a no level. So the announcement was made this week
that that's not gonna happen. He announced that he's delayed
by five years, so now their ban on new gasoline
(25:00):
and diesel car purchases will be the same as California's.
It's moving to twenty thirty five. He also weakened demand
on new natural gas home furnaces due to start in
twenty thirty five. That debate again and scraped the requirement
for landlords to make properties more energy efficient.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
So either he pushed.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Back everything or he scrapped some of their ambitious plans.
And of course the blowback from the climate groups was severe,
and we know that in that country there have been
people blocking traffic because they believe that not as enough
as being done to restrict carbon emissions.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You know what triggered this though, Yeah? What somebody lost
an election because because in England you have the Labor Party,
which is the Liberal Party, and then the Conservative Party. Correct,
the Conservative Party had gone along with all the climate
change hysteria. And then there was a special election and
(26:01):
the big issue was the tax on cars in London.
The London mayor had a tax on older vehicles in post. Yeah,
they've already had congestion pricing, but they added this older
vehicle tax, right, and so somebody in the Conservative Party
ran against that idea and he won and they took
(26:26):
up the Prime minister. It happened in the London Uxbridge
district Uxbridge, and so now the Conservatives think that getting
rid of the green policies is a big vote winner,
and that they can prevent national defeat by the end
of twenty twenty four. And that's what you got to
do to end this nonsense. You start, you know, we
(26:47):
got to bring back political human sacrifice next year because
this is going to happen in California people. I can't
believe what people are putting up with here. It's really shocking.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Because political human sacrifice, we sacrifice some Republicans who are
too soft on the border policies. Do we have Republicans
in California that favor these climate cutbacks? Or you using
political human sacrifice in a general sense, in a general
because it works because you could see in London they
were all set to there wouldn't be a single gas
(27:20):
powered car that you could buy after twenty thirty, which
is just you know, six not even six and a
half years away.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And now one special election in one district and and
suddenly the tide is turned. The Prime Minister is revoking
this and that, and one of their big political parties
is saying, hey, we're gonna run on this because what
they want to do is win. None of these stupid
bastards care about the environment, and there's nothing they can
(27:49):
do about it. I find it's so silly that that
politicians and people believe these politicians, Oh, yes, we cut
back our missions and catavoria, that's going to reduce global warming.
No it's not, you fool, you wire, you know it's not.
So you know, we got to start. We must vote
for different people and get off this bandwagon. It's extremely damaging.
(28:12):
Remember Florida, Florida and other southern states are paying about
half what we're paying for gas. I saw yesterday gas
station seven dollars and fifty cents seven fifty Florida when
I left was three forty wit. What's wrong with you?
The working people have to rise up because they're the
(28:33):
ones that pay the biggest price for this. And when
they're asking polls, yeah, we need to do more for
the climid but it doesn't they don't connect it to
the ridiculous gas prices that they're paying, in the fact
that California is being made to like the sacrificial experimental lamb.
Here the green greenhust gas emissions in the UK have
fallen by forty six percent in the last thirty plus
(28:55):
years because they removed coal from the electricity generation, right,
and and and so it's down forty six percent. Did
you notice that the atmosphere has not cooled. Britain did
all this and the atmosphere is still warming every year.
So they say, I don't believe that either, but let's
go with it. Okay, So what if they cut fifty
(29:17):
percent of the global emissions? No calling that.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Look, before long, we'll be saved because Newsom's going to
go to China and he's going to get them to
cut back their emissions and it's going to save the planet.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I just believe, Well, Newsom, I just believe. I just believe.
Is that a great phrase? I do believe. Just say
you believe?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
That's what I believe, because you know what his administration
is a masterclass and how to run governments.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
