Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand, you missed
the one o'clock hour. We covered extensively the land war
in the Palisades with the government trying to build low
income housing, like four different attempts going on at the
(00:24):
same time. And we also spent a lot of time
on the high speed rail the funding being cut by
the Trump administration four billion dollars pulled back because Newsom
never produced any rail. We'll talk more about that later
as well, but if you want to hear it covered
pretty thoroughly one o'clock hour on the iHeartRadio app. Let's
(00:47):
talk with Brad Garrett now on on the Epstein situation. Brad,
how are you as the ABC's Crime and Terrors manalist?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Hey? John, Hi, you know I.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Remember back when Epstein first hit the news in this matter.
I think it was around two thousand and six where
he got arrested on some tawdry charges and he ended
up spending most of his quote sentence at his house
on weekends. I think and I remember everybody was really
curious back then why he got such a light sentence
(01:23):
for some pretty sordid charges involving sex with underage underage women.
And I think that's kind of set the tone ever
since he never really, there was never really justice in
this case. And at the end to be told that, hey,
we don't have a client list, we don't have any
(01:44):
more information, we don't have any more details. I don't
think you have to be some wild eyed conspiracy theorists
to say, wait a second, something smells here.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
There is no doubt, I mean even ten seconds. In
the first case in two thousand and six, I mean,
the FEDS investigated him, the local DA investigated him, and
then they end up letting him plead with no time.
I mean, there was apparently enough evidence in that case
he could have gotten life in Florida. So you know
(02:16):
what strings were pulled. I don't know. There's a lot
of allegations via the DA back then. Who knows, but
you know, he walks on that, and then you jump
forward to twenty nineteen, and you know, he gets arrested
at the airport for the FBI and put him in jail,
and he you know, eventually takes his own life there.
But the point being is that you have a current
(02:40):
president and many of his upper followers for years talenting
how you know there's important information in this file. The
public needs to see it. It should be released. And you know,
as you will know, that's occurring up to just a
few weeks ago, and then all of a sudden there's
a one to eighty with no explanation. So it only
(03:02):
tells me that somebody actually finally read the file, because
up to that point I don't think they did. They
just were working off whatever thoughts they had, and they
realized there was stuff in that file that, you know,
maybe implicates the president, maybe doesn't in something, but clearly
information they do not want released.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
And now this has not been one of my top
ten issues in life. I'm far more thrilled that they
that they pulled the four billion dollars for high speed
rail and they killed the electric vehicle mandate here in California.
I'm all thrilled about that, But just it's such a
bizarre case involving potentially so many big wealthy names people
(03:49):
that it's impossible to believe that, oh, well, there's nothing
to it, and there's nothing in the files and nothing
written down. It's like, well, then why was Glen Why
is Glenn Maxwell in prison all these years? Why was
he set into prison and he ended up killing himself?
I mean, well, there must have been a lot at stake.
Otherwise all this wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I think that's exactly right. And you know, it's another
great example of be careful what you say before you
know what you're talking about, which today obviously is fairly
common in this country, but in particular in a subject
like just knowing that there's a voluminous amount of information.
(04:32):
You know, a lot of it's probably not accurate, but
some of it is, some of us corroborated, some of
it is not, because that's typically within files, right, You
report what people tell you and then you corroborate it
or you find out it's not truthful at all. And
so you know, it's I totally agree with you, like
why are we still talking about this? But I mean,
(04:54):
this thing had over ten million hits earlier today. That's
how many people are at least running it in Google
for some search engine, and so it has clearly caught
the ear of a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, it's part of the culture now. It's like millions
of people I think have a hobby of trying to
solve true crime stories. If you look on a list
of top podcasts, about half of them seem to be
true crime podcasts. I would have thought they'd run out
of true crimes by now, but all these shows keep
on going, and this is like the biggest whale of
them all.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
There is no doubt, and I don't see this going
away anytime soon, only because they are so dug in
not to release it, and you know what's going to
cause them to release it at this point if they
feel that strongly about it. So we'll see. But my
guess is we'll be talking about this for a while.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I would also think if there's a lot of salacious information,
almost everything in the world is leaked. I mean, there's
near zero secrets these days with the internet, you know,
and people can shroud their identities and post on the
Internet and it'll be copied over, you know, one hundred
million times in about an hour. So it's hard to
believe that there would be wild and scendiary stuff. And
(06:13):
it's been there's been a lid on it for for
decades now.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah, I mean, I think there's probably the people who
have investigated it know that it's going to have a
lid on it because they find non disclosures. But as
far as you know, people who you know, like people
that currently work for Trump, if for whatever reason they leave,
I could see one of them going sideways with some
of this information. We'll see, but it's you're right, you
(06:40):
would think, why don't we have more details? And I
can tell you about things that authors and journalists and
people investigated reporters have pulled up in reference to this
case that are interesting, but they're not corroborated. I don't
even like repeating them, but some of them makes sense.
But it's stuff like that, and you know, like quickly,
(07:02):
like back in two thousand and six, allegedly someone said
the reason Steem didn't get prosecuted is because he's connected
to the intelligence community. I have no idea if that's true,
but let's say that it is. It may have some reason.
It would support certainly why he was treated with kid
gloves back then.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
No, I've read that too a number of times, and
that would make sense of a lot of what happened.
All right, Brad Garrett and I know you got to run.
Thank you for spending some time with us here.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
You're welcome.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Take care, John Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Brad Garrett from ABC News, the crime and terrorism analyst
more is coming out about the crazy person who killed
the former music supervisor for American Idol and her husband.
We told you, I expected that'd be quite a criminal
record he had. I don't know who's responsible for letting
(07:56):
this guy out on the street repeatedly, But we'll get
into the latest sensational story the New York Post had
this morning.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The American Idol music supervisor Robin k and her husband
was shot in the head. That were both killed at
their home in Encina, really nice neighborhood. In reading the lying,
stinking LA Times, in the middle of the story, they
(08:34):
had to put one of their woke progressive prayers saying, well,
you know, and a link to a story, well, you know,
with crime rates falling around Los Angeles because the homicide
rate is down, and I saw that. It's like, yeah,
homicide rate is down, but what about everything else that's
not crime rates falling? That's one particular category and when
(08:57):
homicide rates are high, it mostly affects the members who
shoot each other up in bad neighborhoods. And lyric Post wrote,
the truth and Sino has dealt with a lot of
break ins in the last year. Last summer, break ins
spiked forty percent in July and August. Uh and those burglaries,
(09:24):
said the police, fit the playbook used by Latin street gangs,
which target neighborhoods for several weeks at a time.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Then move on.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So I mean this is this is I'm putting this
out because the La Times like Gavenews, and they just
lie constantly or they mislead you. Now, the Post had
a truthful story yesterday. They talked about this guy's this
guy's recent criminal history, Raymond Boudarian. It's only twenty two,
(09:58):
and he's done a lot of bad thing at the
age of twenty two. And when I read you this list,
you might say, wow, why is he out? First of all,
he's a bad drug addict. Everybody in the neighborhood knows
he's a bad drug addict. I guess this kid lives locally.
It's not just a random homeless person. Actually, he's actually
a neighborhood nuisance.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
One.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, he had been arrested three times in the last
two years, with charges ranging from battery to making threats
with a weapon. Three times. He might be saying, well,
why didn't he go to jail? Right, you're probably wondering, Well,
(10:44):
in each of those cases, the charges were dropped over
mental competency. So here's what they do in Los Angeles,
and this would be in the gascon Era. You find
a guy battering someone, threatening him with a weapon, and
you arrest him and you realize he's crazy, he's completely
whacked out of his mind. Uh, and on on severe drugs.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
So what do you do.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Hey, let him go, And then a second time you
let him go. At a third time, you let him go.
You don't put him in a mental institution, you don't
put him in a a drug treatment facility. You just
let him go and he goes out. You like to
hang out with his friends a lot in the neighborhood.
They all did drugs together. And you're gonna, you're gonna,
(11:35):
You're not gonna leave this one. Uh, this guy, Raymond Boudarian,
one time he tried stabbing his mother, according to one
of the neighbors. Cops finally came in, they took him away.
I didn't see him for a while until recently, so
I guess he lived in the neighborhood with his family,
(11:58):
was a whacked out junkie and used to do his
drugs on the street or in the alleyways and used
to terrorize the neighborhood and l apd and the DA
never put him away for good. I guess the police
arrested him, but this is the gascon era, so he's
(12:19):
let out again and again and again, and even after
threatening his mom with a knife or attempting to stab
his mom with a knife, he was let out again.
So now he kills this couple. Found a god and
killed this couple. According to the neighbor, he was a
(12:41):
fixture in the neighborhood and most people suspected it was
a case of severe mental health problems. So everybody who
looked out their window said, wow, that guy's crazy. But
the people in charge of the city and the county,
when it comes to safety, they do nothing. I just
(13:03):
know he was troubled. I knew he was on medication,
on and off medication. He needed help. Well, they got
to force feed these people their pills and their medication. Actually,
they need to lock them up and forget about him.
Let him rot and die. That would have been a
better course than what happened. Police were always called to
(13:25):
this house. He had good days and bad days. So
the good days is when he wasn't trying to stab
his mother, When he wasn't shooting to the neighbors in
the head, that was a good day. He would always
be taken away for a couple of months and released
back here and start roaming the neighborhood talking to himself,
saying things, we had a lot of problems with him
(13:48):
because he's taking drugs. Every now and then he would
be outside. Ay, that's according to an eighty year old
in the neighborhood. Imagine what he may be eighty years
old and you're in a decent neighborhood and this is
what you got to deal with.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
This is a really nice neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, really nice neighborhood. I mean, this couple's house is
worth four and a half million dollars. And they did
you see the wall that they put up. Put up
a really high wall and they had like spikes sticking
out of the top.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Of the wall. They left one door open and the neighbor.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Did guy know, you know the one door, the one
time they leave open?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
God, I had read that he'd been trying to get
into this house before the neighbors had seen him.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
But he hasn't been successful. But this time he was.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
This time he's start going back. Found the one open door.
It reminds me remember that woman whose husband was in
the entertainment industry in Beverly Hills, and and and some
crazy guy burst open through a glass sliding door late
at night and killed her.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
H we all need URM to guards outside our house
for twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
The only time I thought secure was during the fires
when we hired that ex marine I told you about,
and he said he was gonna shoot and kill anybody
who came near our house because we got looted. Well,
we didn't get looted, but seven homes on our block
got looted. And it's not that long in a block,
and that's the whole street. I mean, seven houses on
(15:27):
the street got looted. And so we hired this guy.
We went in with a couple of the neighbors and
he said, I shoot him. I kill him, And I
told my son that, and he goes, well, what happens
if he does kill somebody? Are you liable? I say,
you know what, I don't care anymore. Sure they're gonna
put me in print.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
They don't even put actual killers in Britain.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Probably would those, right?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I know, I know I'm going to take the chance
since since there's now a good possibility that I'm the
one getting killed tonight if the crazy looter on drug
breaks in, and I'm gonna take my chances and have
this guy over here shoot him. Sounds good, right, But
this is you live in Los Angeles. This is like
supposed to be a rational day. This is what you're
(16:11):
supposed to deal with because of the total breakdown, total breakdown.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
Again, unless these elected officials have these things happen to
them their family, nothing's gonna change.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Ron every day from one until four o'clock. After four o'clock,
John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app coming
up after three o'clock, We're gonna have assembly Woman Alexandra
Messdo as we continue our celebration Trump and his administration
pulled four billion dollars in federal funding from high speed rail.
(16:56):
End of the scam. Newsom will now turn to uh
stealing your gas tax money. And I wish that was
a joke, but it's true. But at least the Trump
administration is not putting up with it. I mentioned this
when we had Brad Garrett on. You know, Epstein case
is fascinating, but I can't get particularly worked up about
(17:16):
it either way. The stuff that's great because there's so
much oppressive rule here in California. That Trump has gotten
rid of the electric car mandate and now he's defunded
high speed rail on the federal level. Those are two
huge wins. And then sending the National Guard to LA
(17:39):
to scare the hell out of everybody stop all this
resistance in the streets, making newsome and carried bass squeal
all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It's great he did.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
He's done more good for LA in California from twenty
five hundred miles away than any politician here in California
has done in the last thirty years. Now here's a
weird story, and this is closer to my neighborhood. This
is this is I don't know, I see, I see
(18:15):
some news reports that say this is the Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Some say this is Brentwood.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's kind of funny how journalists cannot pinpoint what section
of town a story is in. How hard is that?
Don't you just type in the address into Google? And
these lazy, lazy asses I wouldn't even say, won't to
say which which if? In fact, in this case, the
(18:41):
headline doesn't match. It doesn't match the copy. The headline
says Brentwood man accused of impersonating firefighters, and then it
has the police swarming of Pacific Palisades home.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So which is it?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I have a Brentwood home.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, I know, but if you read don't. I don't
want to embarrass the people.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
No, I'm just saying I've been saying a house in brent.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
With I think it is because this is this is
the OJ block exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
It's Rockingham.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yes, So I don't know why they haven't listed as
a Pacific Palisades home in the body of the copy.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
But in any event, well you.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Know what it is because he allegedly he was impersonating
possibly when the fire in the Palisades was happening.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
All right, maybe people got comed.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
He dressed up as a firefighter. All right.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
His name is Steve Farzan and he's accused of impersonating
a firefighter in the middle of the Palisades Fire, facing
a dozen charges because he does this repeatedly, incidents dating
back to twenty twenty three all the way up to
May of this year. He's not only impersonated a firefighter,
he's assaulted a firefighter. He had discharged a laser at
(19:55):
an aircraft. He was trespassing on closed lands. They found
an illegitimate fire truck that he owned. It was on
his property. It's from the nineteen eighties and it's been
parked at his house on OJ Lane for quite some time.
(20:19):
And it's also the truck I assume he used to
enter the fire zone at the height of the battle.
Now you may wonder, how is a crazy person like
this with a forty year old fire truck? How's he
living in Brentwin Steve Farzem is his name? Say, I
(20:42):
can use Google. I can figure this out. Turns out
he's a luxury or was a luxury hotel executive in
Santa Monica. He ran the Shore Hotel. Are you familiar
with that hotel? And no, Well, I found this story
(21:05):
in a small magazine called The Atavist Atavist and they
did two stories on him, one in twenty twenty and
one in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
In twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
In twenty seventeen, they wrote that Farzam is a luxury
hotel executive in Santa Monica. He's also a serial impersonator
of law enforcement and rescue professionals since.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
At least the late nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
He's repeatedly pretended to be a firefighter, or a police officer.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Even a federal agent.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Eventually, one of his friends turned on Farzam and became
a federal informant, and they raided his home in twenty fourteen,
which is a mansion where he kept police paraphernalia, high
caliber weapons, and an actual firetruck. The state of California
brought seventy seven charges against a guy who runs the
(22:03):
Shore Hotel. Again, this is twenty seventeen. All of them
except for four, were felonies. He pleaded no contest to
three charges felonies, but he only got Billy spent ninety
days in jail. So they bring seventy seven charges against
(22:24):
him and he spends ninety days in jail five years probation,
and the judge told Farzam, you violate probation, the consequences
would be very serious. He continued working as the chief
operating officer of the Shore Hotel. Then in twenty twenty
he was again facing criminal charges. And then the rest
(22:46):
of the article is very, very long and very convoluted.
He is apparently a serial con man, and if you
write anything about him, he starts targeting you, and then
you have to go read it for yourself. Give one
of your people in Bretwood. You know, I wonder I
go to the grocery store. Yeah, and it's it's a
(23:08):
nice grocery store, or let mean, it's an expensive grocery store.
And I really don't like shopping there because the prices
are just terrible. But it's half mile from my house,
so sometimes I go. There's so many weirdos in that store.
And I don't mean weirdos like creepy homeless people.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
I mean vegans.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Oh, vegans.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, I see some suspicious vegans wandering around. No, just
they're they're strange and and some of the people are
very very old. I actually get frightened when I go
into this store because I'm terrified.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
What old age does. It's it's it's uh, you're an
agis uh?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Uh? Every time I walk in there, Oh, I'm thinking
is exit bag? Exit bag? Exit bag. It's like, I
don't want to end.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Up like this.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Yeah, but they're okay enough to go into.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
The store, but some of them are strange and and
and it's like, I can't tell you. I just get
this vibe. But there's more than just Steve Varzaan walking
around in these neighborhoods in these towns. Now, if you
get arrested for impersonating police officers and firefighters, how do
you end up to stay as the CEO of a hotel?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
What do you have to do before the owner of
the company says, Wow, you are really a whack job.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Pull out a gun and start shooting.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I mean, that's a special kind of sickness.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And up until January he was still he'd bring his
nineteen eighties firetruck to the Pacific Palisades fire and get through,
almost like a little kid. And he's been doing this
since the nineteen nineties. I don't understand. It doesn't seem
(25:01):
like anybody is ever punished and taken off the streets
for anything. Ninety days in jail. How do you commit
seventy seven Peloni's and get ninety days in jail only
in La Yes, we come back. Oh and then after
three o'clock. Yes, we're gonna keep celebrating. Trump has shut
(25:22):
off the money flow to high speed rail. Four billion
dollars is not coming to high speed rail. Those criminals
are gonna have to find real work.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
We are going to have a California assembly woman on
right after three o'clock as we continue celebrating. Her name
is Alexandra Messdo. We're celebrating the Trump administration pulling the
four billion dollars of funding away from the criminals at
high speed Rail. This is a great victory that everybody
(26:03):
should be excited about. Maybe maybe this will hasten the
death of this corrupt boondoggle. Newsome's course is running around
with his pants over his head, going.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's illegal, it's illegal.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, like it's not illegal not to deliver one foot
of railroad track after seventeen years, after taking seventeen billion dollars,
seventeen years, seventeen billion dollars, no track, no trains, no nothing.
And when Trump pulls the funding, that's illegal. I mean,
(26:41):
the criminal donors who contribute to my campaign are going
to be very disappointed. Everything's a racket. They are not
making news reporters as tough as they used to be.
They really aren't. This is embarrassing. There's a CBS news
reporter named Scott McFarlane. I don't know. I don't know
if I've ever seen him local. I think he's nice
(27:05):
and he's always a Capitol Hill correspondent. He was covering
the Trump rally when Trump got shot, and he says
he was traumatized. He was not traumatized by seeing Trump
get shot. He was traumatized because the crowd immediately erupted
(27:27):
in rage against the media, the media that was assembled there.
He was on, Oh, Chuck Todd has a puttet podcast. God,
is there anybody that doesn't have a podcast? You don't,
I do not know?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
You should I talk enough here?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I was going to say, she's technically on yours.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh, I know, trum, it's all over the place, a
vegan podcast. I told you that that is your path
to riches.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
MM.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
You you micro you you you super serve a micro
niche you'll get a lot of advertising.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I think I'd rather do something on shoes, all right,
I got your speechless, all right.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I didn't expect that.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I didn't expect that.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
No, I think there's more to say about veganism than shoes.
But anyway, Scott MacFarlane told Chuck Todd about his trauma.
For those of us who were there, it was such
a horror because you saw an emerging America. Now, when
I saw it was such a horror. I thought it
was to see, you know, the president go down, he
(28:39):
comes up, he's all bloody, right, everybody's screaming. Another guy
was shot dead. Guy in the audience right, bullet ripped
through him and killed him. No, it was such a
horror because you saw an emerging America. And it wasn't
the shooting. Chuck I got diagnosed with PTSD with a
(29:00):
forty eight hours. He got PTSD not from witnessing the shooting,
but being upset by the enraged crowd who had turned
and started yelling at the reporters.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
So was he worried that he was gonna be.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Injured, He's gonna be carried off, he goes. I got
put on trauma leave. They now have trauma leave for
political reporters.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
No, well, sometimes I think I need trauma leave. John,
working with you.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
You know, you'd probably get it. They would give it
to you for that.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, in fact that they came to me, I would say, yeah, yeah,
give it to her. She probably needs to be turned.
Oh my god, what a little wissie. I mean, how
fragile can you be? Kind of remember as a kid,
do you remember, like when they had war correspondence reporting
live from wherever the war was, whether it was the
(30:06):
Gulf War or Vietnam or It's just incredible that that
you could see. I mean, there's a guy on Fox now,
Trey yinst he's been covering the Israeli war for the
last almost two years, and you see explosions behind him.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
You see the roomies in getting rocked.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
Not everybody's cut out to do that, John, And he.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Said he's not mos to PTSD because some Trump supporters
are yelling at him. I got put on trauma leave
not because of the shooting, because you saw it in
the eyes, in the reaction of people.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
He got traumatized by their eyes.
Speaker 1 (30:51):

for us. I think they got the clip in the
Daily Caller. If Trump didn't jump up with his fist,
they were gonna come kill us.

Okay, So I understand that he was concerned. I do
I give him.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
That trauma leave? Yeah? Yeah, yeah play it.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
For those of us there, it was such a horror
because you saw an emerging America and it wasn't the shooting, Chuck,
this was I got diagnosed with PTSD within forty eight hours.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I have put on trauma leave.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Not because I think of the shooting, but because you
could you saw it in the eyes, the reaction to
the people.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
They were coming for us. If he didn't jump up
with his fist, they were going to come Ki.
Speaker 6 (31:44):

be murdered. Go, you gotta give him a little bit
of a break.

caused this. You killed him, and they were gonna beat
us with their hands. I mean they were gonna kill us.
