Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day
from one until four, and then after four o'clock you
could hear the podcast version John Cobelt's show on demand
same as the radio show. Garian Shannon left us with
a car chase and while Debra was doing the news,

(00:21):
this suspect he was suspected of domestic violence. He was
driving on the wrong side of the road. He ended
up on West Boulevard and West thirtieth Street, and he
parked the car in the back of an apartment complex,
got out of the car and very casually walked around

(00:41):
the complex along the side and then to the front,
hands in his pockets, like there's not a care in
the world. He gets to the front of the building
and there's all these cop cars waiting in the street
in front. He walks towards the front door, and somebody
else jumps out, and it looks like the second man

(01:03):
shot the first man, and the first man crumpled to
the ground. The cops eventually handcuffed the second guy and
also a woman who had run outside.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
That's the best I can describe it.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
After watching it, they have cops standing around the first suspect,
who now may be the victim of a shooting, and
it's impossible to tell anything beyond that.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
See, I missed all that while I was looking at
my screen.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I know, say the real news was happening. I know,
well you were reading old books.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Well well no, no, no, no. I glanced at the TV,
which is to the right of my screen. I've been
trying for years to have the TV's changed. But anyway,
that's another that's.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Another story, oh, one of those.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
So I was going to I was going to have Ginny,
who does our traffic go to this chase, but then
I noticed that the chase stopped, so really there was
nothing for her to talk about. So I just went
on until you said, did you see what happened?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
And I said, no, I missed. I missed all the
the good stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
And you can see now they have looks like they
have three suspects handcuffed right, looks like two women. There's
three women, three women, and they're all shouting too. I
I don't I don't know if one of those women
was the person who jumped out and shot the guy
who was the original domestic violence suspect.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I thought it was another man, but you know, it's
from a distance, and once the shooting happened, the camera
pulled back because the stupid policy on TV they don't
show the bloody mess, you know, at the end of
a shooting or at the end of a are they are.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
They showing it again?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
John?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Was it the guy in the white sweatshirt that was
just kind of walking around like you said, Yeah, not
a in.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
The world, right.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
He was walking with his hands in his pockets along
the side of the apartment building. He parked in the back,
and then he walked around towards the front. I mean,
he should have known that there were going to be
all those cops waiting for him.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Now. Is that a live picture we're looking at on
channel five? Is a replay? That's another thing.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
I mean I've gotten caught a couple of times over
the years describing a replay when I.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Thought it was lost.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh it says earlier, And it does say earlier. It does,
so I think this is when he's going to get out. Look,
here he goes, he's getting out of that white car.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
What channel are you on?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Channel seven?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I'm on five and eleven.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
This is what you were describing. He's walking around the building,
you know, do not a care in the world.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Channel five was a live shot of all those officers
running to that building. Yes, yes, and right now the
officers have run to the front door of the building.
Now did did Did seven show what happened after he
went around the corner?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Well, that's what I was looking at my screen to
read the news, So I missed that. But I'm waiting.
I'm waiting to replay that.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I want to see that replay, so I'm looking for
it on Twitter. Already.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
West Boulevard and West Jefferson Boulevard says one station. West
Boulevard and thirtieth Street says another station. So I don't
know what the intersection is here, And like five is
showing a split screen. Oh, one is live. One is
earlier and they have what looks to be three women

(04:31):
up against a vehicle and they were handcuffed. Looks like
one of them is on the ground now and the
cops are bent over her. I know one of them
sitting on the ground. She's wearing purple pants.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh yeah, I see her.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Middle woman's wearing orange shorts and the third one is
wearing a blue top, so purple pants is on the ground,
aren't short. It's his handcuffed through their hands behind the.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Back, and they're both wearing white T shirts.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I just saw the video of it on Twitter. I
didn't there's in the capture of it on Twitter. There
isn't a news organization of it. But there were definitely
shots fired. And I can't tell from which angle which
where the shots came from.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Right, so the person jumped out, it looked like they
were they were shooting, and then the original suspect crumpled
to the ground.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
And he's still there on the ground. They're replaying it
on five now. Oh yeah, see there.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, Now he's running and.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
They blurred him out as shot. Here he comes out
again from the side alley. The person who's running towards
him from the side. Yeah, that's one of the people
they have detained, and that was the person who was
on the ground.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
The person on the ground is detained.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, of those three women, Yeah, that's one of the
women who was running from the side. Oh oh, I
see from who came out and shot him? No, I don't.
I don't think he was shot from the side. I
think he was shot straight on.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Oh I see, okay, because I keep seeing the replay
of a figure and they're blurring it out, and I
assume that's the moment this guy got shot. Yeah, so
that is you think it's a man or a woman
that shot him. I believe it was the police. Do
you think it was the police?

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I do from the angles of which the shots were coming,
and the woman is running towards him, and then the
shots come and she like ducks and covers.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I wonder why they shot him.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Then, well, he was an armed suspect, is what the
news Kiron says. I see, because it looked like she
shot him. But I think she was running to try
and jump in front of him. I see, and then
the shots came and she ducked and covered and turned
around and ran into the building again.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
So there's a lot to piece together here.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, they got an ambulance. Now there's the ambulance leaving
or arriving here. It looks like there's cop cars all
over the place.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
It looks like it's arriving.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
The cops are blocking off a street, standing on a crosswalk,
and the ambulance is pulling up. Boy, there are a
lot of police cars. Good lord, they must have about
twenty of them. There's about five more, and the fire
truck is now sideways in the middle of the street.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
The cops are walking around. So are they looking for
somebody else?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I don't know, because a whole bunch of them went
to the front of the apartment building, to the front
door there, and I thought they had all the participants,
but maybe there's more people And was this the site
of the original domestic violence call? And then he went
on a chase and brought everybody back to square one.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
That's what I'm wondering, and that's why all those people
were pissed off at him.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Apparently nobody's working this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well this is you know, I mean, sure, this is
the excitement going on today and what else is Really
there's not a whole lot going on.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Today, No, I know, I was saying for the participants
in this, you know, apparently nobody had to report to work.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
I guess not. And they're going to cause this chaos
before Thanksgiving? Wow? Yeah, end up in jail for Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
And one dead.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well, when we get to figure out more, we'll let
you know. We got you got news ready, yeah, I do.
All right, got news coming up now.

Speaker 5 (08:49):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Here bringing you your holiday entertainment. And we have today's
police chase shooting. So this happened in West Jefferson Boulevard
near West Boulevard, and there was a guy on a
domestic domestic violence charge or he was a suspect, and
they chased him around and he was driving down some
road with a divider and he kept going on the

(09:17):
wrong side of the divider. He was driving straight into
oncoming traffic, barely missing other cars. And then he pulled
into West Jefferson Boulevard at an apartment building. He drove
around to the back of it, got out of the car,
walked calmly along the side. When he got to the front,
there were a lot of police cars there. And now, Eric,

(09:42):
you've like pieced the story together pretty well.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
And kat La just gave us the jackpot because they
zoomed in and he takes his hands out of his
pockets and he looks like he's about to go out
guns blazing.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh and then the cops shoot him.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
He looks like he had two guns.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, Okay, That explains it, because they as soon as
he came to the front, he put up his hands
and I thought he was surrendering, but I guess he had.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
He takes his hands out of his hoodie pockets, takes
out at least one gun from the KTLA angle that
you can see, but both of his hands are extended,
and that's when.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
That's where they got cops open fire.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Okay, at the same time, that woman came out, and
that's why I thought maybe she did the shooting, because
it was simultaneously she came out and she ended up
getting caught in the crossfire.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, so she's actually I just saw a shot on KTLA.
She was getting tended to by medical assistants and she's
still handcuffed, but getting tended to by medical personnel.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, they have what do they have on the ground there?
It looks like a gun. Yeah. Those probably are the
bullet markers. Oh, the bullet markers. Yeah. So, well that's
a lot of bullets fired.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
I mean, there were at least ten cops in front
of that apartment building, right, I know, but he got
off some shots, he must have. Wow, so we were
watching a real live shootout. Oh yeah, I just wish they'd,
you know, when the shooting starts. I wish the helicopter
camera would zoom in. You want to see this stuff
up close. Instead, it pulled out.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
And it happened so fast it was hard to tell
exactly what was going on. But when they carried him
out to the ambulance, the first suspect, they carried him alive. Oh,
now they're in commercials, so I guess crisis over.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Everybody survived.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Somebody told me the other day that the only thing
people watch now are car chases and fire.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well they were just talking about off the air, the
people that have the accounts of the live police chases
on Twitter and everything.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yes, but John, I also said to you when when
we first heard Gary and Shannon talking about this, we're
looking at it and we're like, yeah. I said, you know,
it'll get interesting when when crazy things start happening. And
then Shannon started saying, oh, the guy's going the wrong way.
So then it caught my tail, and.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Then yeah, it got crazy, really crazy, because sometimes they'll
go on for hours and nothing happens, and it's boring.
They go up to fifteen or the ten freeway, and
that's what I thought was going to happen the fourteenth.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
For the for the guests, for the guest host.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
That's all all right, We're gonna get into this in
detail right after the news. Now that the car chase
and shooting is over. You woke up this morning, the
first big story is Trump is is threatening tariffs on Canada, Mexico,
and China until those three countries stop the flow of

(14:39):
illegal aliens and drugs.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
For for Canada, it's mostly well, actually for all three,
it's the fentanyl, because the fentanyl is coming in on
both ends Canada and Mexico. China makes the ingredients for fentanyl,
and Mexico has all the human smuggling going on. The
human and drug cartels are making billions of dollars and

(15:06):
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has spent the last four
years cooperating with the cartels and helping to facilitate eight
to ten million people coming over the border and billions
of dollars worth of drugs. Biden Harris actually just stood
there for the last four years while and the drugs.

(15:27):
I think, I think the fentanayel's killing seventy thousand people
a year minimum, I'll look up the exact number. And
Trump has said no more, starting inauguration day, we are
not tolerating any more legal aliens any more fentanyl and
other drugs, and it's a tariff on all your goods.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
You watch sell goods to the United States.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
He's gonna he's going to put a pig tax on
him twenty five percent. The Mexican President, Claudia Schanbaum is squealing.
Justin Trudeau, he's a weaner. He's talking like he's going
to cooperate. I don't know what Shine is gonna do,
but we'll talk about all the details coming up.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A sixty.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Coming up after two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Mark Garragos, We're gonna talk to Mark Garragos. The attorney's
the attorney representing the Menendez brothers as they have been
trying on three different frauds to get freedom after they've
served thirty years in prison to the double bird of
their parents blew their heads off. Garagos is trying to

(16:37):
get them out. We'll talk about that coming up after
two o'clock. So you want to be there all right.
Onto the Trump terrorist Steve. This is really important because
there has been a obviously a total breakdown at the border.
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, let the border go to hell completely,
and we not only had millions of illegal aliens pouring over,

(17:01):
but we had tons and tons billions of dollars worth
of drugs. And the drug cartels have gotten very wealthy
smuggling the drugs and the people over the border. And
they did nothing. They would just tell reporters the border
is secure, The border is secure. One of the biggest
lies among many in the history of politics. So now

(17:24):
here comes Trump to try to clean things up, and
it's going to be it's going to be quite a
job because you have the cartels have invested an enormous
amount of money in their supply chain, and they employ
a lot of people, and they have been really making

(17:45):
out the last few years smuggling the people and the drugs.
So Trump's decided to go after the economies the governments
of the participants, and that would be China because they
supply the ingreened dians for FENTONYL. Let's see spentyl as
the example, because at this point FENTONYL is killing more

(18:06):
people than anything. China manufactures the ingredients, sends them to Mexico,
and Mexico actually does the fentanyl manufacturing, mixing the ingredients,
whatever process needs to be done, and then the drug
cartels take the fentanyl over the border. And in twenty
twenty two it killed seventy four thousand Americans fentanyl, just

(18:30):
that one truck. And what did I say, twenty Yeah,
twenty twenty two they killed seventy six thousand. In twenty
twenty three it killed seventy four thousand. So in two
years time, one hundred and fifty thousand Americans died of fentanyl,
and most all of it comes from Mexico and China.

(18:53):
Now to me, that's that's war. It's kind of amazing
how the fall of the World Trade Center was so dramatic,
so traumatic, and you know, to this day people make
references to the World Trade Center going down in al Qaeda. Right,

(19:15):
that was three thousand people. I think it was three
thousand people total, including the the other al Qaeda attacks,
the plane that crashed and over at the Pentagon, So
that whole event was three thousand people. Here we have
a two year death toll of one hundred and fifty thousand.
Now you know how much lecturing we get about auto safety,

(19:42):
that's I believe around forty thousand deaths a year, and
there are constant scoldings and lecturings that we've got to have,
you know, special technology in our cars to limit our speed.
People drive too fast. We have to put a more
strict rules on drivers. All this stuff, But Fentodel one

(20:04):
hundred and fifty thousand in two years and nothing, Nothing
was done. In fact, the problem was denied. It's directly
connected to the border being wide open, the border being
a non border. And I always marveled at that. How
all the political jackasses we have ignored it, and on

(20:25):
all levels it was ignored here in calif I mean,
we have tons of drugs coming over the California border,
but that prissy little weasel Gavitt Newsom never says boo
about it. You know, the drugs have flooded Los Angeles.
The gangs are homegrown gangs here sell tons of the stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
They make a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah over here, Karen Bass given any any lectures on
it either.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Maybe they're afraid of the drug cartels. Sometimes I wonder
if the politicians are getting a piece of the action,
little kickback action I want right up to the top.
I wonder, how could you have the federal, state and
local governments all go on with one hundred and fifty
thousand deaths and rarely, I mean, you know, the local

(21:11):
the police and the sheriffs will do local busts and
drug enforcement. But the politicians never squawked much about this,
and it's been baffling to me. And so there was
a reason for everything, because this is an easy issue
to not only run on, but create effective policy on,
spend money on. Nobody's going to say, oh, you shouldn't

(21:32):
try to stop the fentanyl coming over the border. Nobody's
going to say that, but they don't. In fact, they
pretend nothing bad is happening at the border. One hundred
and fifty thousand deaths, that's that's amazing. That's more than
all the other drugs combined. I mean, I've got a
list of how much meth kills in cocaine and all

(21:54):
the rest of the drugs, and it does not match
the total effentanyl. So it's one of the deadliest, maybe
the deadliest substance in American society. And you see the
effects on the street. I mean, so many people on
the street are taken fentanyl. So if you're president, what
would you do, Well, you do what Trump's doing, it's

(22:17):
going to be a twenty five percent tariff on all
goods that Mexico chips to the US, twenty five percent
tariffs and all goods that Canada ships to the US,
and ten percent on China is China already has a
lot of tariffs. And you know the headlines, Tariff threat
raises prospect of bigger trade fights. Tariffs would deal a

(22:39):
big blow to the auto industry. This is just in
the in the New York Times. Tariffs would target three
top sources of US imports Mexico's President Trump. Tariffs could
lead to retaliation. If Trump had announced that he was
going to use the military to invade Mexico in Canada

(23:02):
to stop the fentinel, they would have been screaming bloody
murder over that. Here he offers a non violent solution
that in the long run, will be much quicker and
more effective. It could be an immediate solution. And all
of a sudden, oh my god, look what he's doing.
He's targeting our allies. He's targeting their economy and our economy,

(23:26):
and this could lead to a collapse and blah blah blah,
ma horrible inflation is like, hey, they know he means it,
which means they're going to negotiate, and you're going to
see the Mexican president and the Canadian president stop the
flow of drugs and illegal aliens before they reached the border.

(23:46):
They're going to have to because we could absorb an
economic blow of that magnitude. They can't. You know, Mexico
is a pretty rickety economy and we are there large
just trading partner. And ultimately they could stamp their feet
and huff and puff, and they're going to have to
do what Trump wants. They will because they can't afford

(24:10):
a twenty five percent tariff. You think we can't afford
to play that game, they can't afford to play that game.
And if you have a sure fire weapon, you use it.
Otherwise what else do you have? You had the military,
which if you have unleashed full bore and invaded the
country probably would work. It would take a long time,

(24:34):
but this is much quicker. This is going right for
the juggler right, their economic lifeblood. They can't send us
anything without a twenty five percent tax, which means there's
stuff becomes uncompetitive in the marketplace. It's what should have
been done by the Biden administration on day one.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Why they didn't do it? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
I mean, there's a fascinating book on why Biden allowed
all the chaos.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Was he aware of it? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Kamala Harris didn't say booh, she never brought this up
once in hear feeble pathetic campaign.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
But this is what in.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Case some of you still want to I don't understand
why people have voted for Trump. It's exactly this, because
two months in advance, he's telling three major trade partners,
you've stopped the fentinyl or major tariffs, and you're going
to suffer more than we will. And again, it's one
hundred and fifty thousand people just in twenty twenty two

(25:34):
and twenty three. Let's assume there's another seventy five thousand
people in twenty twenty four. Now you're talking two hundred
and twenty five thousand people dead from fentanyl because of
these three countries. Well, he's got to do this right
or is two hundred and twenty five thousand dead acceptable

(25:55):
to you?

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Again?

Speaker 2 (25:56):
What would you do as president? Run public service announcement,
public service announcements on cable TV? So this will work.
They'll play ball they have to and this should have
been done. This is the difference between an effective president
and a feeble old, senile fool or.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
Coming up, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from
KFI A six.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Mark Garragos coming up just after two o'clock to talk
about the Menendez brothers case. Mark Arragos just after two.
All right, Now, this is a very disturbing story and
it involves animals. So I'm just warning you. But what
you need to know up front, this is not a

(26:46):
current story. Apparently animal rights activists have says one thing
about fanatics, you can ever appease them.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't know. This might have been a group of
vegans or.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Just actually PETA all right, and PETA activists as a
whole are insane and there's no appeasing them until we
all stop eating meat and of all kinds chicken fish.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah that sounds good to me.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, well, all right, so these are your people, these
are who you identify with. Turns out two thousand and
six there was an undercover investigation I guess by PETA
and they found butter Ball you know, the Butterball turkeys. Yeah,
the workers were filmed doing horrible things to the birds

(27:36):
bashing the turkeys against steel cages, stomping on their heads,
or so Pete claimed.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Oh I'm sure, I'm sure that happened. I've seen enough
shows and behind the scenes about how these animals are treated.
The cows kicked and pushed and.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, see I knew, I knew I triggered something.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Well I am very triggered, all right, I see I
put out a trigger warning, though it's not going to help,
so they they also.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
There was also in the footage the the workers were
sexually abusing the turkeys. Come on, according to this report,
I have not seen this, and I don't want to
see this, but one worker would would insert his finger
into a private area. Another was apparently simulating sex with

(28:27):
the bird while it was shackled. I'm cleaning this story up.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
But yeah, that's pesthetic, okay, so okay, well sis the
story and then I have an idea.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
It's not even real sex with the turkey, right, it's
just simulation. So Butterball says, Look, this was twenty years ago.
This was from two thousand and six. Somebody posted it
on social media. This week, people going crazy around the
country claiming they're never going to eat a Butterball turkey
ever again, and they're.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Going wait, wait, wait, this was eighteen years ago.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Okay, but what do they do about it eighteen years ago?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Well it it's now a well, I don't know what
they did.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Okay, well they're not still going on. How do we know?

Speaker 2 (29:11):
I guess you could join the PEDA undercover investigation crew
and then you could see for yourself if anybody's having
sex with the turkeys.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
You know what, I cannot be part of that because
I don't know what I would do if I saw
such atrocities.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Look, you do know that most people are going to
eat millions and millions of turkeys, right, that's going on
while you're sitting in your house.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, I will not be partaking.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'm just going to deny your family.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Oh, they eat it. They all know how they know
how I feel.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
But again, there's an atrocity on your own dining room table.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah, very true.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Okay, Butterballs claiming we have yearly audits conducted by a
third party to ensure compliance. They have over two hundred
plus science based standards of best practices for the care
of turkeys, and that does not include actually abusing them.
The last line was my party, and they have certification

(30:07):
through the American Emine Society. Butterball is now a private company.
I guess it's got different ownership here. And it's this
This is old footage that's being reshared all over the internet.
So but you know people where people were urging boycott Butterball,
I just bought a Butterball turkey yesterday. Dinner is effing canceled. Well,

(30:32):
complete overreact.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Well, okay, I understand that it happened eighteen years ago,
but I guarantee, I guarantee that I'm not saying anything
about Butterball, so don't send me any emails. But what
I'm saying is I guarantee that there are plenty of
turkeys that have been or are being abused right now
because sick people abuse animals. And you know, what's just

(30:56):
I'm sorry, I just have to say. This turkey is
shackled and somebody is simulating.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Sex, right, I mean, it's just so if he was
running free, it wouldn't be so bad.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
It's worse when a turkey can't even.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Defend itself, right, No, it's it's it's terrible.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
It's insane.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
I've never even I never even thought of this what
guys do when they think they're not being watched.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, is incredible.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
This.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
This guy's not getting I guess much action at home,
and he took it out on the Turkey.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay, so let's let the turkey if we ever found
that guy, I mean was eighteen years ago, let's let
the turkey do something to well.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
He's probably he's probably a middle aged man now, and
I wonder if he looks back on what he did.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
I doubt it.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Wow, that was really He.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Gets excited when he thinks about it.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
When we come back, Mark Garragos and the Menandez Brothers.
I don't think I have to say anymore, but Gargos
is gonna be live on the air.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
I want fireworks, John.
