Speaker 1 (00:01):
I Am six forty. You're listening to the John and
Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app Johnny Ken Show,
John Cobelt and Ken Champo. I Am six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And we're on the radio
from one until four. And after four o'clock you smack
yourself in the head and say, I missed the show.
(00:21):
What am I gonna do? You go to the app
Johnny Canon demand the podcast. That's the show. You can
hear it whenever you will.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Senate Bill fourteen, which we spent a lot of time on,
which is going to give longer prison sentences for sex
traffickers of children, finally passed last week in the State
Assembly eighty to zero. Might ask yourself, wait a minute,
there was such controversy over this bill that got killed
by public safety committees that it passes eighty to zero.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
They were massively embarrassed, starting with the chairman of the
Assembly Public Safety Committee, Reginald Jones. So we call him Reggie.
He's here in Los Angeles, and this guy was the
big block for a long time. He didn't think that
to men, you know, dirty, sweaty, sleazy men who sell
(01:13):
innocent little girls into sex slavery ought to be punished
too harshly. We don't know why he thought that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, because this could open them up to the three
strikes laws, and they hate the three strikes laws.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yes, but then they would stay in prison even longer,
all these disgusting dirty men who sell little children into
sex slavery. But Reggie didn't want that bad things to
happen to these guys.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
He has created such a firestorm when he kept getting
stopped in the Public Safety Committee that, at least according
to reports we're reading, it got Newsome involved, It got
the Speaker of the Assembly involved, and eventually made through
the Public Safety Committee to the full vote, which, as
I just said, was eighty to zero. Let's bring on
State Senator shen and Grove, of course, the author of
(02:00):
this bill, and it all began send it Bill fourteen.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Channon, how are you? And congratulations again?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Hey, how are you? Guys? Who would have thought it
would have been that hard to get a bill like
after this Assembly?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It should have been five man?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, what does this tell you when it comes to
any kind of criminal justice reform here?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What does it tell you?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well? I think the issue is is exactly what you
guys just said. They don't want to put people in prison,
and this is the first strikable offense in almost a decade,
and they were not They felt like it was going backwards.
But when they can't bring in that argument to me,
I just let them finish their argument about you know,
you can't do this. It doesn't do any good to
put people in prison for a longer period of time.
(02:38):
There's no nothing, no evidence shows that it works. YadA, yah, YadA,
all the stuff that they say, exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You know, this is what I love. If they're in prison,
they can't sell another little girl into sex slavery while
they're in prison. So yes, it absolutely does work. That's
the whole point. As long as they're in prison, the
girls aren't going to be sold into sex. That's nonsense,
and they know it's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Well, I said, sometimes it's about justice and punishment, and
I think we should make an exception for people to
go to prison, especially if they're selling children for sex.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You have to make this argument, Huh. Isn't this amazing?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Every time I had to make it, like six or
seven times.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, again, how long? What was the when we're the
beginnings of this bill.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
How far back does this go?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Well, it started three years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But Shannon, do you think they really believe what they're saying?
Do you think do you think, like Reggie Jones, Sawyer
actually believes it doesn't do any good to put a
guy who sells children into sex slavery away. He really
believes that.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh, Reggie Jones Sawyer says that, and then he votes
to have campaign finances protect hire private security after he
defends the police, right break, not that they say make
sense nothing, So you can't I mean, realistically, guys, if
you can't put somebody in prison for selling children for sex,
(04:03):
think about that for just a second.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Right, So that what's what's what's the what's the real motivation?
Then he can't possibly believe what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I don't know. I guess you'd have to ask him,
because he sounds pretty convincing when he talks.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, well, yeah, people can sound convincing, especially when they're
covering up maybe other reasons.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, they talk about you know how it's one hundred
and twenty eight thousand dollars a year and that money
should be used to poverty instruction, you know, areas where
you know people are being trafficked. They say it disproportionate,
you know, disapportionately affects people of color. And I agree
with them. If we could get this bill signed by
the governor, would help more black and brown children be
off a figure Row Street in Los Angeles than white children.
(04:47):
I mean, there are arguments, all their arguments all point
to the thing. So it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We've got to get off this this. We got to
stop debating guys like him on race because the race
has nothing to do with this. It's whether you committed
the crime or not, period, and a story. And they're
trying to use race as a shield. This is what
I'm saying. There's something else going on. They use race
as a distraction. It's a noisy distraction and a shield
so as not to delve into why do they really
(05:15):
want little girls sold into sex slavery? Why don't they
want to punish the guy? It's because of race has
nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, you know, I think I don't want to say
it was the right person to do it, but I'm not.
You know, I don't have a college degree, but I'm
pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
On my feet.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, and he says, and he says, you know, this
disproportionally affects people of color, and goes down the race path,
and I let him finish and do all of his stuff,
and then I just said, you know. They said, you
know there, do you have a response, And I'm like,
I don't care what color your skin is. If you're
selling children for six I want you in prison.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, exactly, That's that is the only response that's got
to be the response. Hey, you know what whatever color is,
he goes to prison, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
If it's a black.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
White, brown, yellow, whatever, you can get something. Yet it
doesn't matter. That's why they flip this whole debate and
everybody's getting sucked into it. So I don't get to it.
It's about behavior, okay, Well, if it's about behavior, that's
that's the worst behavior imaginable.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And then they talk about cost and the analysis and
the public safety analysis. They did not in the even appropriations,
they did not even consider what it costs a rehabilitate
a victim, like the trauma, the care if they're a minor,
if you know, if they're absent from their families, the
cost of putting them in housing. The didn't even attribute
one dime to victim.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Sure, we've got the highest taxes in the nation and
they care about cost. I don't believe that either. Again,
that's a distraction argument.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yes, they had a hundred billion dollar surplus last year
and thirty billion dollar devosit this year. They spend a
lot of money, and I.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Think most people are willing to pay whatever price it
is to get sex traffickers in prison. I don't I
don't think people are worried about the price.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, I mean, here's my question, Shen it was this
hard to get this common sense, easy bill passed, which
I mean, honestly, what hope is there for any other
kind of Yeah, three years? What hope is there to
do other things that we need to do to untangle
what's wrong with the criminal justice system in the state
thanks to the damage from Prop. Forty seven and fifty
(07:10):
seven and all these other things that are lining up
and leading the more dangerous people being free.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But you guys are the key to that. If you
guys would if the media wouldn't have latched onto that
a vast of all on them, they wouldn't have latched
onto this and then brought the media along with them.
Californians would have gone about their everyday activities, working or whatever,
going to school, and never even noticed one bit that
they killed that bill in public safety to put people
in prison that sell your children for sex.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But they would have not even known they had killed
it before though, right, you said this was a three
year push they did.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
And you know it was a three year they killed
it before. And I think I got one local media
station interview on it. I've done over I think seven
hundred now, so people are because of you guys. You
know they have these have reporters inside of our hearing committees,
and they don't have them anymore. The LA Times used
to have press people there all the time, you know,
(08:03):
monitoring what happened. They used to monitor things at two
o'clock in the morning when they called an emergency committee
hearing to make sure the public had noticed before the
you know, writing and you had to have it seventy
two hours and writing before that two o'clock in the morning.
Any opposition to this bill, any opposition seeing no opposition,
I mean two o'clock in the morning, with no notice,
who's going to be there to composed the bill?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, that's on purpose. They know what they're doing. So
there's no media that covers Sacramento anymore. I mean, you
guys passed a pass much thousand bills and the public
has no idea what's coming next in those thousand bills.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Not very much, not there is not very There has
been this last session more than I've ever seen. And
I don't know if there's to be fourteen sparks that.
But there's a lot of media attention going on on
parental rights bills. There's a lot of media attention on
you know, I made a comment the other day on
the floor after they passed like six bills that had
to do with furthering union bills. Twenty dollars an hour
(08:56):
minimum wage for fast food workers, twenty five dollars an
hour minut I will wage for hospital workers, union strikes,
you get to draw unemployment benefits. So there's your employers
negotiating against yourself for a salary. And so I just said, well,
I'm really disappointed that the fourth branch of government have
this much power this cycle.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, you guys got that right. Yeah, Well, listen, you
really did a great job. This is a huge win
for these children and every one of these one of
the disgusting perverts who sells children into sex every day
that they end up staying in prison because your bill
is going to mean that, you know, one kid or
(09:37):
ten kids get another day of freedom.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I can tell you that a district attorney called. I
had several calls after the floor vote, and a district
attorney called me as a grown man, and he's crying
on the other end of the line, and he goes,
you gave us tools in our toolbox that we haven't
had in decades.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You know, it's important.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I think one of the keys is that there's so
little coverage of what the legislature does now. You know,
most parents would instantly say, no, all the sex traffickers
go to prison, they go to prison forever exactly. That's
what they would say if they knew about it. But
they didn't know about it because nobody's telling them. And
I don't know how to get around because we're like
a two.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Repeat offenders, so this isn't your first defense. But I
mean most people would think, first events, you're done, right,
what should be Yeah, just through the building. They had
to be a repeat offender, They had to go to prison,
get since the twelve years, get out in four and
then get caught again sex trafficking a minor. Then my
bill jigs in. That's how bad this is. I mean,
the bill is not bad. I'm just saying it's a
step in the right direction. But to get a bill
(10:39):
out of that building that addresses and punishes perverts for
sex trafficking miners was the hardest thing, really that I've
done in the time that I've been there.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, good jobs, Shannon, and we appreciate you talking to
us once again. And if you ever pushing the bill
like this again, let us know and we'll help get
the word out.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for covering
all the southern California. You're awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Go up.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
States Senator Shannon Grover, Republican from Bakersfield, and her bill,
Senate Bill fourteen to punish the sex traffickers of miners
as serious felons finally passed. It's expected to be signed
by Newsom.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Good work, Reggie Jones Sawyer, nice work. Well, you keep
protecting those perferts. Bal You're doing a good job for
the public. John and Ken KF I am six forty
live everywhere. iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, you know, next year is a presidential election, which
means there'll be a big primary ballot coming in March
and then of course in November. This means we will
be flooded with a lot of ballot measures next year,
and we're going to stop for a moment and talk
about one that will be put before the voters. We've
covered it before, we talked to John Copoula, the Howard
Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It is known as.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
ACA one, and in Sacramento the legislature said and pushed
it forward that it will be on the ballot for
next year. They approved it to ask voters whether or
not the threshold, the threshold to approve new special taxes
and bonds for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects, should
(12:20):
be lowered to fifty five percent. Say it's Prop thirteen,
passed in nineteen seventy eight by the voters, requires a
two thirds approval on certain special tax increases and bond measures. This,
if passed by the voters, would lower that two thirds
to a mere fifty five percent.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Do you realize how high our taxes are in California
with the two thirds protection. Yeah, case's amazing, right, and
we still have the number one tax burden by far
in the state. Now can you imagine how much worse
it'll get if the tax burden is the vote burden
is now fifty five percent instead of sixty seven percent.
(13:01):
And the problem is the public doesn't pay attention to
most of this, and so what you usually get is
an emotional ad campaign with as bond measures.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
People are so happy to pass bond mesre. Oh sure
it's good borrowing, it's barring for a good thing like
high speed rail to build housing.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
We agreed to spend ten billion dollars on high speed
rail because we were gonna be able to get from
San Francisco to Los Angeles in about two and a
half hours. That was their promise. Oh, it would also
cure GLO global warming, I think too right. Well, of
course there's no such thing fifteen years later, and there
never will be. So why did people vote for high
(13:42):
speed Round two thousand and eight because they believed a
big lie? Because how would they know any better? How
would they know that there wasn't really a plan that
to build a railroad to La How are you going
to get it over or under the mountains. Well, they
didn't know there's still no Oh, they couldn't get it
over the mountain. That wasn't feasible. So they're gonna drive
(14:05):
drill through, like I don't know, thirty miles of rock
to get it through a mountain. That's never gonna happen.
So that's why you end up with all these tens
of billions of dollars spent on a highway that's gonna
go on a rail line that's gonna go from Bakersfield
to said. My problem with this is that these measures
voted on locally are for things like you know, parks
(14:27):
and libraries and water and streets. Their government run bond projects,
so their government contracted out things. Did you see is
a debacle. That's why I think a two thirds vote
is a good one. It makes sure that a super
majority of people think it's a good idea to let
the government take more money either in borrowing or in taxes,
(14:48):
to throw at another project, which they usually just foul up. Anyway,
they're gonna build you up parks and then let the
homeless people live in it.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, most of this is about building housing. Again, the
magic government is gonna build all this affordable houses, housing
for the vagrants. Did the vagrants? Those people they can't
afford homes right now? I guess is the idea people who.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Can't afford homes have to move somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That doesn't seem to get through to people.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
No, because the government is never going to fix the
housing market. That's impossible. We have too many people living
here right there's nothing you can do. And if you
keep taking in, you know, thousands and thousands of illegal
aliens without any skills in education, they're going to be
poor for the rest of their lives and so are
their kids.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
One tax group says that if ACA one passes and
the thresholds load of fifty five percent, it could lead
to two hundred and fifty million dollars in increased taxes
every election cycle.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Two hundred and two.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Hundred fifty million and increased taxes every election that's cycle
to billion every four years. You're going to be paying that. See,
you have to vote differently. You have to get aware
of what's going on in the world and then vote differently.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That's your job.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So this is a no on the John and Ken
November twenty twenty five ballot, gott a no on ACA one.
There you go. There'll be a lot more on that
more long way from the John and Kent Voter Guide
for next November.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But it's all that's where you're going to see this appear.
It's always safe to vote no. You should have voted
no on high speed rail. You should have voted no
on Prop forty seven and fifty seven. Life would be
noticeably better had you voted no. Three no votes right there,
Life would have been better.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
All right, we'll be back John and KENKFI AM six
forty live everywhere iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Did you see that they they lost a stealth fighter
jet for about twenty four hours? Oh no, no, yeah,
it was flying over South Carolina and the pilot ejected.
He was a Marine Corps pilot. He ejected himself, and
the plane kept flying in what they call a zombie state.
(16:58):
And then for the next twenty four hour ours nobody
in the military had any idea where the thing was,
and they finally found the wreckage in South Carolina. Oh
so it did end up crashing. I saw this last night. Yeah,
it ended up crashing. Yeah, but wouldn't they have I
don't know, maybe one of those Apple trackers on the wing. Yeah,
(17:19):
I thought they would have a tracker on it at
all times. I keep looking through this story, It's like, well,
how could they not know where it is? And I
mean that that is a stealth fighter right, it crashes
and nobody knows that it crashed.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Those are expensive, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Eighty million dollars of our money just just crashed into
the ground.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Whose head do we take?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I know, somebody's head.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Somebody's headed Defense Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's an F thirty five. Why the pilot ejecked? There
was some kind of mechanical issue mishap? Yeah, I don't know,
mishapp mishap. They were asking the public. It's like, we
have a missing stealth jet fighter pilot. If anyone has
seen it, it's like an ambrella for a plane. That
(18:03):
is stupid government.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
We have, uh. Of course, the big story today, and
it began Saturday night with the shooting death of a
La County Sheriff's deputy named Ryan Clinkinbruomer, just thirty years old.
He was about to go on patrol. He was actually
taking his patrol cruiser out onto Sierra Highway up in
Palmdale outside the sheriff station, stopped at a red light.
(18:30):
A little bit later, a dark gray Toyota Corolla pulls
up behind him and apparently shots go off and the
deputy is shot in the head and he died from
his injuries hours later. That was Saturday. Today, after a
weekend of please anybody knows anything, offers of a reward,
police honed in on a home in Palmdale and arrested
(18:51):
a twenty nine year old man by the name of
Kevin Cataneo Salazar. This is East Palmdale. This was his
family's home that he lived at, but it apparently did
result in a standoff. He may have seen the pictures
by now where he finally comes out shirtless and surrenders
to police officers. And they had a news conference this
(19:13):
morning to announce the arrest. The stories began early this
morning with person of interest and then.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I hate that phrase. Later it became right, no rest,
Normal people call it a suspect.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So his mother spoke to the El Segundo Times in Spanish.
My son is mentally ill and if he did something
he wasn't in his full mental capacity.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Thanks Mom, not only.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Saying that he was the one that shot the deputy,
but nobody is saying he has a record for needing
mental help. Diagnosed she claims as a paranoid schizophrenic five
years ago. Voices in the head. Hey Mom, you're supposed
to get mental help. What I'm supposed to do it?
You're supposed to do it. You didn't get him the
mental help. You didn't give him his pill. Why wasn't
he taking his medication? Schizophrenic, saying that he was hospitalized
(19:59):
and nor in the last year, but he stopped taking
his medication about ten months ago, which means.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Mom has to make sure he takes it. They don't
keep schizophrenics in the hospital forever. You go there after
an episode, and then they all they can do is
change the medication or give you more. They can't do it.
They can't do anything with schizophrenica. There's no treatment.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
She said, I called the police several times before, but
in the end they would just tell me he's an adult,
he doesn't want to take his medication. We can't do anything.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
There, you go, that's the big flaw. He should be
forced to take the medication or lock.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Him up in jail twice since his diagnosis. She claims
he's attempted suicide.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, the option, Oh, let him go out with a
gun and shoot a cop in the head. That's a
better option, right. We don't want to force him to
take a pill, but we'll let him shoot an officer
in the head. Okay, all right, that's the option you chose. Excellent.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
She claims she was unaware that the son owned the gun,
but was told by detectives he had legally purchased a
weapon that was used in the attack.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Don't believe her, No, mom. Moms don't admit to this stuff,
at least not.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
The mom says when she saw him on Saturday, he
acted as normal. We were cleaning tables and theirs, and
none of us knew anything. He didn't see anything with
anything to be out of the ordinary. He just came
back from shooting to death a police officer. But apparently
he acted around the house like he always does.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Her son's Facebook and Instagram bios both read dead in
a couple of days, weeks or years. Nice He apparently
followed the League of Legends, a popular video game wrote
a rave review online of a multiplayer online battle arena.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Wow, this is a twenty nine year old.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, I know, living with his parents. Apparently their dad
is their dad? There, I doesn't say, you're right this
the mother gave it in to me?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Is the dad saying this died?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Just the mother's words?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
And what does this lady want the rest of the
world to do? What would you like us to do
with your son? I'm so fed up with this? So
you didn't get the help he needs. What do you
want us to do? You have the kid in your house,
You're the one indulging him. He's the one with twenty
nine weapons under your roof? What would you like me
to do? What could I have done you a last
(22:10):
week for you? Yeah, that's true. How's she not aware
of twenty nine weapons? Twenty nine? You mean he didn't
He walked in the house twenty nine times of the
weapon and you didn't see it once all twenty.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Nine sticking out from underneath this better in a closet
somewhere all twenty nine times he's snuck by.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Eh? Do you ever clean his room when you have
a schizophrenic do you ever like just do a security check?
Just look, look, look through the room, see if he's
got any weapons in there, maybe knives. Maybe he's on
some kind of drugs. Don't you have to do that? Oh,
you don't want to violate his privacy, now do you?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
We got more coming up. Johnny kenkf I Am six
forty Live Everywhere iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
We've talked the past about a number of stores closing
down locations in cities that are troubled by lots of
shoplifting and crime and drug use and homelessness. This story
is in San Francisco. This one is Chicago, where apparently
a number of grocery stores have said, well it's just
not worth us, worth it for us to operate in
(23:21):
certain parts of the city, so they've shut down their operations.
Not to be outdone on this, the Chicago Mayor, Brandon
Johnson announced that they're looking at the possibility of city
owned grocery stores as a means of promoting equitable access
to food.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, so the city allows the criminals to run amuck
and steal whatever they want. So when the grocery stores
get out of town, they go, well, this is outrageous,
This is not equitable, well run our own stores.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
They're redlining us. They're just not going to operate here
because they think that people are too poor. Will take
care of that. To the people in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
This is rich. The people in the neighborhood steal the
stuff out of the store, and then they're pissed off
when the store moves.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
This door closed.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Well, what you know what I saw this this morning.
The first thing I thought of, I's thinking, government run
grocery store Cuba. That's the only time I've seen that.
That's where we're headed, right, And the shelves were empty.
I went into it. There was hardly anything on the shelves. Oh,
because governments can't run businesses, they'll find out in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
This reminded me of years ago. Remember in LA they
were upset to that there weren't enough healthy grocery store choices,
I think in South LA. So they wanted to ban
the opening of new fast food restaurants. Remember that movement
that goes back like twenty years I think in LA policies.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, and it doesn't do any good. I don't think.
I don't understand why these idiots can't get this through
their head. If you can't make money in a neighborhood,
you're not going to open a store, or you're not
or you're not going to keep it open. If you
can't make money, you don't go there. If the residents
(25:15):
are going to steal all your goods, that you are
going to close and open a store in a neighborhood
where they don't steal the stuff. You can bitch about
equity and food insecurity and all that nonsense, but it
comes down to the behavior of the people in the neighborhood,
whether they steal the stuff or not. Also, one of.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
The stores in question here is Whole Foods. Now, you're
going to open a Whole Foods on John's favorite West Side,
but you're not going to open a Whole Foods in
South LA. That's just so different populations have different tastes.
That's just the way it is. I don't go to
the Whole Foods.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
If the Whole Foods have to depend on me on
the West Side, they'd all be bankrupt. Yeah, you're really
in the wrong neighborhood. I'm in the wrong name, and
I'm sure i'd find more. You are better.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Lots of very weight, conscious, healthy, obsessed west Side women
who oh, let's got a whole food there's so much
vegetation here to feast on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Actually they keep their weight off with amphetamines. But that's uh,
is that right? If they yeah, prescribed, they just I
don't know, you don't know, I don't know, but they
they're they're I think you should tell me. It's just coffee.
Well it's it's it's well, it's coffee all day. It's
Starbucks cups, big Starbuck cups they walk around with, and
they're on some kind of weight loss drugs. And most
weight loss drugs are some kind of amphetamine because it
(26:35):
speeds up your middle This ozmpic stuff, of the ozempic
stuff is like a whole new category. Yeah, but that too.
They're all on Ocempic. They all cond their doctors in
their prescription. So that's it. Yeah, I eat healthy. It's no,
you're on drugs, Okay, nobody nobody's that. Then every everybody's
so full of it. Yeah, I feel like everybody, everybody
(26:56):
in life, everybody talked to, is just full of it.
I mad to know a gopher run groceries stores.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I mean, honestly, I mean that's the way this social
Democrat crowd wants to go. They want to take away
private ownership of property. They want the government to run
everything because only the government can be equitable the community.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
They're communists. In communist countries, the government ran the grocery stores,
like I said, Cuba, so I saw it firsthand, and
these were there was a terrible store. Okay, you wouldn't
want to go in there because without the profit motive,
you think government workers are going to care. Really, you
get the DMV crowd in there, get some of those
(27:34):
post office workers, yeah, you have them cut in the meat.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, then you'll have politicians who also say what should
be on the shelves. It should the only healthy food.
There'll be no sugary food, fatty food. And the neighbor
we're getting no customers in the neighborhood's not going to
show up, right exactly?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
All right? Oh hey, conways, here I got a question
for you. Yes, yes, did you vote for the burbank
mayor who was getting space the queen? You know I
did not? You did not? Yes, I did not.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
But look I don't want to get down and I'm
that that's sort of my thing as well. I know,
being spanked by a drag queen at Santa Anita.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
It's a niche group. Niche group in front of the
horses in the barn, in the barn, in the barn. Wow,
it's like, I didn't want to get into it, but
you brought it up. That is a kink. Yeah, me
and David do.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
They Oh my god, Steve Gregor is going to do
a story on it.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You both get spanked by a drag queen in front
of the John. Now you're embarrassing, man.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I just want to be clear. I got the story,
not like I'm the only guy that doesn't. Steve Gregory
is coming on and talk about the horrible shooting in
with the deputy of the Sheriff's department. Man, when that happens,
the whole city shuts down, everybody stamps and then wonders,
how did this happen? Where is this guy? How do
we get this guy? It looks like he got him.
So we'll talk about that at five o'clock five thirty. Davidssay,
(28:57):
the Dodgers clinched over the weekend. Yeah, I know you're
a major Dodgers fan.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And uh.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
And then John Papadegas, who's what's his name Dean Papadekas.
What's the kids, Petros Papadeka's it's Petros's dad, and he's
the last of the big old time singers. You know,
I love my Heart in San Francisco style guys. And
so he's having a show. We're going to talk about
his show, all.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Right, all right, that's a show that that's right. That's right,
by the way.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I love the the I could listen to you two
talk about electric cars all day. I'm a big anti
electric car guy. Oh it's it's a disaster. This is
gonna be so funny.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
When they're stuck with millions and millions in these cars,
I wonder what they're gonna do with them. All well,
they're gonna have to crush them. They're gonna have to
ship them, you know, to another continent real quickly.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
In Ohio there was a planned and they they this
small city wanted a five kill a water, five megawatt
stations so they could they could you know, power up
these forklifts. And they said five megawater or kill a watt.
That's more than the city uses. It's gotta be a joke.
There's no we don't have that kind of power. And
they don't this. The plant that built those forklifts only
(30:07):
uses two mega power two mega you know, megawatt. I
think it's it's all where's the power coming from.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It's a scam. I don't know. All things a scam.
It's never gonna happen. Digdong with those power cards? All right?
Conway next, uh Cars just got the news live in
a twenty four hour calf I newser Hey.
Speaker 2 (30:23):

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Senate Bill fourteen, which we spent a lot of time on,
which is going to give longer prison sentences for sex
traffickers of children, finally passed last week in the State
Assembly eighty to zero. Might ask yourself, wait a minute,
there was such controversy over this bill that got killed
by public safety committees that it passes eighty to zero.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
They were massively embarrassed, starting with the chairman of the
Assembly Public Safety Committee, Reginald Jones. So we call him Reggie.
He's here in Los Angeles, and this guy was the
big block for a long time. He didn't think that
to men, you know, dirty, sweaty, sleazy men who sell
(01:13):
innocent little girls into sex slavery ought to be punished
too harshly. We don't know why he thought that.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, because this could open them up to the three
strikes laws, and they hate the three strikes laws.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yes, but then they would stay in prison even longer,
all these disgusting dirty men who sell little children into
sex slavery. But Reggie didn't want that bad things to
happen to these guys.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
He has created such a firestorm when he kept getting
stopped in the Public Safety Committee that, at least according
to reports we're reading, it got Newsome involved, It got
the Speaker of the Assembly involved, and eventually made through
the Public Safety Committee to the full vote, which, as
I just said, was eighty to zero. Let's bring on
State Senator shen and Grove, of course, the author of
(02:00):
this bill, and it all began send it Bill fourteen.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Channon, how are you? And congratulations again?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Hey, how are you? Guys? Who would have thought it
would have been that hard to get a bill like
after this Assembly?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It should have been five man?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, what does this tell you when it comes to
any kind of criminal justice reform here?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
What does it tell you?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well? I think the issue is is exactly what you
guys just said. They don't want to put people in prison,
and this is the first strikable offense in almost a decade,
and they were not They felt like it was going backwards.
But when they can't bring in that argument to me,
I just let them finish their argument about you know,
you can't do this. It doesn't do any good to
put people in prison for a longer period of time.
(02:38):
There's no nothing, no evidence shows that it works. YadA, yah, YadA,
all the stuff that they say, exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You know, this is what I love. If they're in prison,
they can't sell another little girl into sex slavery while
they're in prison. So yes, it absolutely does work. That's
the whole point. As long as they're in prison, the
girls aren't going to be sold into sex. That's nonsense,
and they know it's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Well, I said, sometimes it's about justice and punishment, and
I think we should make an exception for people to
go to prison, especially if they're selling children for sex.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
You have to make this argument, Huh. Isn't this amazing?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Every time I had to make it, like six or
seven times.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, again, how long? What was the when we're the
beginnings of this bill.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
How far back does this go?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Well, it started three years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But Shannon, do you think they really believe what they're saying?
Do you think do you think, like Reggie Jones, Sawyer
actually believes it doesn't do any good to put a
guy who sells children into sex slavery away. He really
believes that.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Oh, Reggie Jones Sawyer says that, and then he votes
to have campaign finances protect hire private security after he
defends the police, right break, not that they say make
sense nothing, So you can't I mean, realistically, guys, if
you can't put somebody in prison for selling children for sex,
(04:03):
think about that for just a second.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Right, So that what's what's what's the what's the real motivation?
Then he can't possibly believe what he's saying.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I don't know. I guess you'd have to ask him,
because he sounds pretty convincing when he talks.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, well, yeah, people can sound convincing, especially when they're
covering up maybe other reasons.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, they talk about you know how it's one hundred
and twenty eight thousand dollars a year and that money
should be used to poverty instruction, you know, areas where
you know people are being trafficked. They say it disproportionate,
you know, disapportionately affects people of color. And I agree
with them. If we could get this bill signed by
the governor, would help more black and brown children be
off a figure Row Street in Los Angeles than white children.
(04:47):
I mean, there are arguments, all their arguments all point
to the thing. So it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We've got to get off this this. We got to
stop debating guys like him on race because the race
has nothing to do with this. It's whether you committed
the crime or not, period, and a story. And they're
trying to use race as a shield. This is what
I'm saying. There's something else going on. They use race
as a distraction. It's a noisy distraction and a shield
so as not to delve into why do they really
(05:15):
want little girls sold into sex slavery? Why don't they
want to punish the guy? It's because of race has
nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, you know, I think I don't want to say
it was the right person to do it, but I'm not.
You know, I don't have a college degree, but I'm
pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
On my feet.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, and he says, and he says, you know, this
disproportionally affects people of color, and goes down the race path,
and I let him finish and do all of his stuff,
and then I just said, you know. They said, you
know there, do you have a response, And I'm like,
I don't care what color your skin is. If you're
selling children for six I want you in prison.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, exactly, That's that is the only response that's got
to be the response. Hey, you know what whatever color is,
he goes to prison, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
If it's a black.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
White, brown, yellow, whatever, you can get something. Yet it
doesn't matter. That's why they flip this whole debate and
everybody's getting sucked into it. So I don't get to it.
It's about behavior, okay, Well, if it's about behavior, that's
that's the worst behavior imaginable.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And then they talk about cost and the analysis and
the public safety analysis. They did not in the even appropriations,
they did not even consider what it costs a rehabilitate
a victim, like the trauma, the care if they're a minor,
if you know, if they're absent from their families, the
cost of putting them in housing. The didn't even attribute
one dime to victim.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Sure, we've got the highest taxes in the nation and
they care about cost. I don't believe that either. Again,
that's a distraction argument.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yes, they had a hundred billion dollar surplus last year
and thirty billion dollar devosit this year. They spend a
lot of money, and I.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Think most people are willing to pay whatever price it
is to get sex traffickers in prison. I don't I
don't think people are worried about the price.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, I mean, here's my question, Shen it was this
hard to get this common sense, easy bill passed, which
I mean, honestly, what hope is there for any other
kind of Yeah, three years? What hope is there to
do other things that we need to do to untangle
what's wrong with the criminal justice system in the state
thanks to the damage from Prop. Forty seven and fifty
(07:10):
seven and all these other things that are lining up
and leading the more dangerous people being free.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But you guys are the key to that. If you
guys would if the media wouldn't have latched onto that
a vast of all on them, they wouldn't have latched
onto this and then brought the media along with them.
Californians would have gone about their everyday activities, working or whatever,
going to school, and never even noticed one bit that
they killed that bill in public safety to put people
in prison that sell your children for sex.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But they would have not even known they had killed
it before though, right, you said this was a three
year push they did.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
And you know it was a three year they killed
it before. And I think I got one local media
station interview on it. I've done over I think seven
hundred now, so people are because of you guys. You
know they have these have reporters inside of our hearing committees,
and they don't have them anymore. The LA Times used
to have press people there all the time, you know,
(08:03):
monitoring what happened. They used to monitor things at two
o'clock in the morning when they called an emergency committee
hearing to make sure the public had noticed before the
you know, writing and you had to have it seventy
two hours and writing before that two o'clock in the morning.
Any opposition to this bill, any opposition seeing no opposition,
I mean two o'clock in the morning, with no notice,
who's going to be there to composed the bill?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, that's on purpose. They know what they're doing. So
there's no media that covers Sacramento anymore. I mean, you
guys passed a pass much thousand bills and the public
has no idea what's coming next in those thousand bills.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Not very much, not there is not very There has
been this last session more than I've ever seen. And
I don't know if there's to be fourteen sparks that.
But there's a lot of media attention going on on
parental rights bills. There's a lot of media attention on
you know, I made a comment the other day on
the floor after they passed like six bills that had
to do with furthering union bills. Twenty dollars an hour
(08:56):
minimum wage for fast food workers, twenty five dollars an
hour minut I will wage for hospital workers, union strikes,
you get to draw unemployment benefits. So there's your employers
negotiating against yourself for a salary. And so I just said, well,
I'm really disappointed that the fourth branch of government have
this much power this cycle.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Yeah, you guys got that right. Yeah, Well, listen, you
really did a great job. This is a huge win
for these children and every one of these one of
the disgusting perverts who sells children into sex every day
that they end up staying in prison because your bill
is going to mean that, you know, one kid or
(09:37):
ten kids get another day of freedom.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I can tell you that a district attorney called. I
had several calls after the floor vote, and a district
attorney called me as a grown man, and he's crying
on the other end of the line, and he goes,
you gave us tools in our toolbox that we haven't
had in decades.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You know, it's important.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I think one of the keys is that there's so
little coverage of what the legislature does now. You know,
most parents would instantly say, no, all the sex traffickers
go to prison, they go to prison forever exactly. That's
what they would say if they knew about it. But
they didn't know about it because nobody's telling them. And
I don't know how to get around because we're like
a two.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Repeat offenders, so this isn't your first defense. But I
mean most people would think, first events, you're done, right,
what should be Yeah, just through the building. They had
to be a repeat offender, They had to go to prison,
get since the twelve years, get out in four and
then get caught again sex trafficking a minor. Then my
bill jigs in. That's how bad this is. I mean,
the bill is not bad. I'm just saying it's a
step in the right direction. But to get a bill
(10:39):
out of that building that addresses and punishes perverts for
sex trafficking miners was the hardest thing, really that I've
done in the time that I've been there.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, good jobs, Shannon, and we appreciate you talking to
us once again. And if you ever pushing the bill
like this again, let us know and we'll help get
the word out.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much for covering
all the southern California. You're awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Go up.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
States Senator Shannon Grover, Republican from Bakersfield, and her bill,
Senate Bill fourteen to punish the sex traffickers of miners
as serious felons finally passed. It's expected to be signed
by Newsom.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Good work, Reggie Jones Sawyer, nice work. Well, you keep
protecting those perferts. Bal You're doing a good job for
the public. John and Ken KF I am six forty
live everywhere. iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, you know, next year is a presidential election, which
means there'll be a big primary ballot coming in March
and then of course in November. This means we will
be flooded with a lot of ballot measures next year,
and we're going to stop for a moment and talk
about one that will be put before the voters. We've
covered it before, we talked to John Copoula, the Howard
Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It is known as.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
ACA one, and in Sacramento the legislature said and pushed
it forward that it will be on the ballot for
next year. They approved it to ask voters whether or
not the threshold, the threshold to approve new special taxes
and bonds for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects, should
(12:20):
be lowered to fifty five percent. Say it's Prop thirteen,
passed in nineteen seventy eight by the voters, requires a
two thirds approval on certain special tax increases and bond measures. This,
if passed by the voters, would lower that two thirds
to a mere fifty five percent.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Do you realize how high our taxes are in California
with the two thirds protection. Yeah, case's amazing, right, and
we still have the number one tax burden by far
in the state. Now can you imagine how much worse
it'll get if the tax burden is the vote burden
is now fifty five percent instead of sixty seven percent.
(13:01):
And the problem is the public doesn't pay attention to
most of this, and so what you usually get is
an emotional ad campaign with as bond measures.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
People are so happy to pass bond mesre. Oh sure
it's good borrowing, it's barring for a good thing like
high speed rail to build housing.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
We agreed to spend ten billion dollars on high speed
rail because we were gonna be able to get from
San Francisco to Los Angeles in about two and a
half hours. That was their promise. Oh, it would also
cure GLO global warming, I think too right. Well, of
course there's no such thing fifteen years later, and there
never will be. So why did people vote for high
(13:42):
speed Round two thousand and eight because they believed a
big lie? Because how would they know any better? How
would they know that there wasn't really a plan that
to build a railroad to La How are you going
to get it over or under the mountains. Well, they
didn't know there's still no Oh, they couldn't get it
over the mountain. That wasn't feasible. So they're gonna drive
(14:05):
drill through, like I don't know, thirty miles of rock
to get it through a mountain. That's never gonna happen.
So that's why you end up with all these tens
of billions of dollars spent on a highway that's gonna
go on a rail line that's gonna go from Bakersfield
to said. My problem with this is that these measures
voted on locally are for things like you know, parks
(14:27):
and libraries and water and streets. Their government run bond projects,
so their government contracted out things. Did you see is
a debacle. That's why I think a two thirds vote
is a good one. It makes sure that a super
majority of people think it's a good idea to let
the government take more money either in borrowing or in taxes,
(14:48):
to throw at another project, which they usually just foul up. Anyway,
they're gonna build you up parks and then let the
homeless people live in it.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Yeah, most of this is about building housing. Again, the
magic government is gonna build all this affordable houses, housing
for the vagrants. Did the vagrants? Those people they can't
afford homes right now? I guess is the idea people who.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Can't afford homes have to move somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
That doesn't seem to get through to people.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
No, because the government is never going to fix the
housing market. That's impossible. We have too many people living
here right there's nothing you can do. And if you
keep taking in, you know, thousands and thousands of illegal
aliens without any skills in education, they're going to be
poor for the rest of their lives and so are
their kids.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
One tax group says that if ACA one passes and
the thresholds load of fifty five percent, it could lead
to two hundred and fifty million dollars in increased taxes
every election cycle.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Two hundred and two.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Hundred fifty million and increased taxes every election that's cycle
to billion every four years. You're going to be paying that. See,
you have to vote differently. You have to get aware
of what's going on in the world and then vote differently.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
That's your job.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
So this is a no on the John and Ken
November twenty twenty five ballot, gott a no on ACA one.
There you go. There'll be a lot more on that
more long way from the John and Kent Voter Guide
for next November.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
But it's all that's where you're going to see this appear.
It's always safe to vote no. You should have voted
no on high speed rail. You should have voted no
on Prop forty seven and fifty seven. Life would be
noticeably better had you voted no. Three no votes right there,
Life would have been better.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
All right, we'll be back John and KENKFI AM six
forty live everywhere iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Did you see that they they lost a stealth fighter
jet for about twenty four hours? Oh no, no, yeah,
it was flying over South Carolina and the pilot ejected.
He was a Marine Corps pilot. He ejected himself, and
the plane kept flying in what they call a zombie state.
(16:58):
And then for the next twenty four hour ours nobody
in the military had any idea where the thing was,
and they finally found the wreckage in South Carolina. Oh
so it did end up crashing. I saw this last night. Yeah,
it ended up crashing. Yeah, but wouldn't they have I
don't know, maybe one of those Apple trackers on the wing. Yeah,
(17:19):
I thought they would have a tracker on it at
all times. I keep looking through this story, It's like, well,
how could they not know where it is? And I
mean that that is a stealth fighter right, it crashes
and nobody knows that it crashed.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Those are expensive, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Eighty million dollars of our money just just crashed into
the ground.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Whose head do we take?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I know, somebody's head.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Somebody's headed Defense Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's an F thirty five. Why the pilot ejecked? There
was some kind of mechanical issue mishap? Yeah, I don't know,
mishapp mishap. They were asking the public. It's like, we
have a missing stealth jet fighter pilot. If anyone has
seen it, it's like an ambrella for a plane. That
(18:03):
is stupid government.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
We have, uh. Of course, the big story today, and
it began Saturday night with the shooting death of a
La County Sheriff's deputy named Ryan Clinkinbruomer, just thirty years old.
He was about to go on patrol. He was actually
taking his patrol cruiser out onto Sierra Highway up in
Palmdale outside the sheriff station, stopped at a red light.
(18:30):
A little bit later, a dark gray Toyota Corolla pulls
up behind him and apparently shots go off and the
deputy is shot in the head and he died from
his injuries hours later. That was Saturday. Today, after a
weekend of please anybody knows anything, offers of a reward,
police honed in on a home in Palmdale and arrested
(18:51):
a twenty nine year old man by the name of
Kevin Cataneo Salazar. This is East Palmdale. This was his
family's home that he lived at, but it apparently did
result in a standoff. He may have seen the pictures
by now where he finally comes out shirtless and surrenders
to police officers. And they had a news conference this
(19:13):
morning to announce the arrest. The stories began early this
morning with person of interest and then.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I hate that phrase. Later it became right, no rest,
Normal people call it a suspect.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So his mother spoke to the El Segundo Times in Spanish.
My son is mentally ill and if he did something
he wasn't in his full mental capacity.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Thanks Mom, not only.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Saying that he was the one that shot the deputy,
but nobody is saying he has a record for needing
mental help. Diagnosed she claims as a paranoid schizophrenic five
years ago. Voices in the head. Hey Mom, you're supposed
to get mental help. What I'm supposed to do it?
You're supposed to do it. You didn't get him the
mental help. You didn't give him his pill. Why wasn't
he taking his medication? Schizophrenic, saying that he was hospitalized
(19:59):
and nor in the last year, but he stopped taking
his medication about ten months ago, which means.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Mom has to make sure he takes it. They don't
keep schizophrenics in the hospital forever. You go there after
an episode, and then they all they can do is
change the medication or give you more. They can't do it.
They can't do anything with schizophrenica. There's no treatment.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
She said, I called the police several times before, but
in the end they would just tell me he's an adult,
he doesn't want to take his medication. We can't do anything.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
There, you go, that's the big flaw. He should be
forced to take the medication or lock.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Him up in jail twice since his diagnosis. She claims
he's attempted suicide.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, the option, Oh, let him go out with a
gun and shoot a cop in the head. That's a
better option, right. We don't want to force him to
take a pill, but we'll let him shoot an officer
in the head. Okay, all right, that's the option you chose. Excellent.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
She claims she was unaware that the son owned the gun,
but was told by detectives he had legally purchased a
weapon that was used in the attack.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Don't believe her, No, mom. Moms don't admit to this stuff,
at least not.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
The mom says when she saw him on Saturday, he
acted as normal. We were cleaning tables and theirs, and
none of us knew anything. He didn't see anything with
anything to be out of the ordinary. He just came
back from shooting to death a police officer. But apparently
he acted around the house like he always does.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Her son's Facebook and Instagram bios both read dead in
a couple of days, weeks or years. Nice He apparently
followed the League of Legends, a popular video game wrote
a rave review online of a multiplayer online battle arena.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Wow, this is a twenty nine year old.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, I know, living with his parents. Apparently their dad
is their dad? There, I doesn't say, you're right this
the mother gave it in to me?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Is the dad saying this died?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Just the mother's words?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
And what does this lady want the rest of the
world to do? What would you like us to do
with your son? I'm so fed up with this? So
you didn't get the help he needs. What do you
want us to do? You have the kid in your house,
You're the one indulging him. He's the one with twenty
nine weapons under your roof? What would you like me
to do? What could I have done you a last
(22:10):
week for you? Yeah, that's true. How's she not aware
of twenty nine weapons? Twenty nine? You mean he didn't
He walked in the house twenty nine times of the
weapon and you didn't see it once all twenty.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Nine sticking out from underneath this better in a closet
somewhere all twenty nine times he's snuck by.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Eh? Do you ever clean his room when you have
a schizophrenic do you ever like just do a security check?
Just look, look, look through the room, see if he's
got any weapons in there, maybe knives. Maybe he's on
some kind of drugs. Don't you have to do that? Oh,
you don't want to violate his privacy, now do you?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
We got more coming up. Johnny kenkf I Am six
forty Live Everywhere iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
We've talked the past about a number of stores closing
down locations in cities that are troubled by lots of
shoplifting and crime and drug use and homelessness. This story
is in San Francisco. This one is Chicago, where apparently
a number of grocery stores have said, well it's just
not worth us, worth it for us to operate in
(23:21):
certain parts of the city, so they've shut down their operations.
Not to be outdone on this, the Chicago Mayor, Brandon
Johnson announced that they're looking at the possibility of city
owned grocery stores as a means of promoting equitable access
to food.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, so the city allows the criminals to run amuck
and steal whatever they want. So when the grocery stores
get out of town, they go, well, this is outrageous,
This is not equitable, well run our own stores.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
They're redlining us. They're just not going to operate here
because they think that people are too poor. Will take
care of that. To the people in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
This is rich. The people in the neighborhood steal the
stuff out of the store, and then they're pissed off
when the store moves.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
This door closed.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Well, what you know what I saw this this morning.
The first thing I thought of, I's thinking, government run
grocery store Cuba. That's the only time I've seen that.
That's where we're headed, right, And the shelves were empty.
I went into it. There was hardly anything on the shelves. Oh,
because governments can't run businesses, they'll find out in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
This reminded me of years ago. Remember in LA they
were upset to that there weren't enough healthy grocery store choices,
I think in South LA. So they wanted to ban
the opening of new fast food restaurants. Remember that movement
that goes back like twenty years I think in LA policies.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, and it doesn't do any good. I don't think.
I don't understand why these idiots can't get this through
their head. If you can't make money in a neighborhood,
you're not going to open a store, or you're not
or you're not going to keep it open. If you
can't make money, you don't go there. If the residents
(25:15):
are going to steal all your goods, that you are
going to close and open a store in a neighborhood
where they don't steal the stuff. You can bitch about
equity and food insecurity and all that nonsense, but it
comes down to the behavior of the people in the neighborhood,
whether they steal the stuff or not. Also, one of.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
The stores in question here is Whole Foods. Now, you're
going to open a Whole Foods on John's favorite West Side,
but you're not going to open a Whole Foods in
South LA. That's just so different populations have different tastes.
That's just the way it is. I don't go to
the Whole Foods.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
If the Whole Foods have to depend on me on
the West Side, they'd all be bankrupt. Yeah, you're really
in the wrong neighborhood. I'm in the wrong name, and
I'm sure i'd find more. You are better.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Lots of very weight, conscious, healthy, obsessed west Side women
who oh, let's got a whole food there's so much
vegetation here to feast on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Actually they keep their weight off with amphetamines. But that's uh,
is that right? If they yeah, prescribed, they just I
don't know, you don't know, I don't know, but they
they're they're I think you should tell me. It's just coffee.
Well it's it's it's well, it's coffee all day. It's
Starbucks cups, big Starbuck cups they walk around with, and
they're on some kind of weight loss drugs. And most
weight loss drugs are some kind of amphetamine because it
(26:35):
speeds up your middle This ozmpic stuff, of the ozempic
stuff is like a whole new category. Yeah, but that too.
They're all on Ocempic. They all cond their doctors in
their prescription. So that's it. Yeah, I eat healthy. It's no,
you're on drugs, Okay, nobody nobody's that. Then every everybody's
so full of it. Yeah, I feel like everybody, everybody
(26:56):
in life, everybody talked to, is just full of it.
I mad to know a gopher run groceries stores.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I mean, honestly, I mean that's the way this social
Democrat crowd wants to go. They want to take away
private ownership of property. They want the government to run
everything because only the government can be equitable the community.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
They're communists. In communist countries, the government ran the grocery stores,
like I said, Cuba, so I saw it firsthand, and
these were there was a terrible store. Okay, you wouldn't
want to go in there because without the profit motive,
you think government workers are going to care. Really, you
get the DMV crowd in there, get some of those
(27:34):
post office workers, yeah, you have them cut in the meat.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, then you'll have politicians who also say what should
be on the shelves. It should the only healthy food.
There'll be no sugary food, fatty food. And the neighbor
we're getting no customers in the neighborhood's not going to
show up, right exactly?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
All right? Oh hey, conways, here I got a question
for you. Yes, yes, did you vote for the burbank
mayor who was getting space the queen? You know I
did not? You did not? Yes, I did not.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
But look I don't want to get down and I'm
that that's sort of my thing as well. I know,
being spanked by a drag queen at Santa Anita.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
It's a niche group. Niche group in front of the
horses in the barn, in the barn, in the barn. Wow,
it's like, I didn't want to get into it, but
you brought it up. That is a kink. Yeah, me
and David do.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
They Oh my god, Steve Gregor is going to do
a story on it.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You both get spanked by a drag queen in front
of the John. Now you're embarrassing, man.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I just want to be clear. I got the story,
not like I'm the only guy that doesn't. Steve Gregory
is coming on and talk about the horrible shooting in
with the deputy of the Sheriff's department. Man, when that happens,
the whole city shuts down, everybody stamps and then wonders,
how did this happen? Where is this guy? How do
we get this guy? It looks like he got him.
So we'll talk about that at five o'clock five thirty. Davidssay,
(28:57):
the Dodgers clinched over the weekend. Yeah, I know you're
a major Dodgers fan.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And uh.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
And then John Papadegas, who's what's his name Dean Papadekas.
What's the kids, Petros Papadeka's it's Petros's dad, and he's
the last of the big old time singers. You know,
I love my Heart in San Francisco style guys. And
so he's having a show. We're going to talk about
his show, all.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Right, all right, that's a show that that's right. That's right,
by the way.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
I love the the I could listen to you two
talk about electric cars all day. I'm a big anti
electric car guy. Oh it's it's a disaster. This is
gonna be so funny.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
When they're stuck with millions and millions in these cars,
I wonder what they're gonna do with them. All well,
they're gonna have to crush them. They're gonna have to
ship them, you know, to another continent real quickly.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
In Ohio there was a planned and they they this
small city wanted a five kill a water, five megawatt
stations so they could they could you know, power up
these forklifts. And they said five megawater or kill a watt.
That's more than the city uses. It's gotta be a joke.
There's no we don't have that kind of power. And
they don't this. The plant that built those forklifts only
(30:07):
uses two mega power two mega you know, megawatt. I
think it's it's all where's the power coming from.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
It's a scam. I don't know. All things a scam.
It's never gonna happen. Digdong with those power cards? All right?
