Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Oh from the south coast of theGolden State. It's Long Beach's most popular
talk show with Alex Exam and nowyour host, Alex Exom. Hello friends,
xem here, Happy Memorial Day weekend. I won't take up too much

(00:24):
of your time this Memorial Day.I hope you're having fun doing whatever you're
doing. But we need to talkabout crime again. Crime. It's either
crime or AI lately. And Ijust heard a report this weekend about a
actor, Johnny Whackter, but it'snot a joke. Whackt wa cto R.

(00:48):
The only reason I find that funny. He's an actor, but with
the w seems like he's a whackactor. And I'm not making fun of
him. I just when I sawthat name, I said, that's an
interesting name. I've never seen thatbefore. Wasn't familiar with him, but
he was working on the General Hospitalsoap opera. Didn't even know that was
still on air. He did severalshows rather over the last few years.
I don't think he was doing itcurrently. But the point is he was

(01:11):
shot and killed in downtown LA whengoing out to his car because someone was
trying to take his mufflers. Whata tragic end for a aspiring young actor
who apparently was working at a bar. Now you're like, why are you
talking about this? You don't reallytalk celebrity news now. But as a

(01:32):
former thespian myself, I wasn't nogeneral hospital and didn't have a good run
like he did. My claim tofame is assault the sasquatch. So I
tell you something about me, AcademyAward winner, go check it out.
But the point is, I wasa gonna do. I was a gonna
do. I was watching Westerns.I was a gonna do a show about

(01:56):
crime and the skyrocketing numbers across everycity, but especially Philadelphia. I have
a superclip of newscast and this wasjust recently within the last like week or
so of murders. And I've toldyou many times on the show, you
think that if something happens violently andyou're killed, that it will be solved.
It's like, this is America.We have CSI, at least we've

(02:19):
seen the television show. We haveDNA, we have cameras everywhere, video
surveillance, all this nonsense, cellphones, and you'd think they'd be caught.
Well, I've told you many timesit's about a fifty to fifty shot,
So you've got basically flip a coinand we'll see if you're murder sauld.
Those aren't great odds to take thoseto Vegas, I guess, and

(02:40):
see how well you do. Buta fifty to fifty shot, well,
in Vegas it's much worse. You'velike, it's like maybe like you've got
a ten percent chance of winning,ninety percent chance losing. The house always
wins. But in life or deathscenarios across cities across America, it's about
fifty to fifty. And I thinkpeople are shocked when they find that out
because you say, oh no,I'm sure the murder solve rate is somewhere

(03:01):
near seventy eighty. You'd be wrongninety percent, you wish. So will
the killers of this Johnny whactor whowas shot fatally this weekend in downtown LA
be solved? I doubt it,I hope. So there's gonna be a
lot of intense pressure. I'm surethere's gonna be a lot of scrutiny on
the LAPD to solve it. They'regoing to go to surveillance video. But

(03:22):
look, let's be honest, thiswas just bad timing. I mean,
I thought about it when I heardthe news story, and it was just
that they said he had confronted somebodyblah blah blah. Well it turns out
now we know he was working ata bar in downtown LA. Here's the
other thing I think some people thinkbecause he was a big time actor on
a soap opera. I don't knowif that's big time, but he was
an actor who had a very successfulrun for many years on General Hospital,

(03:44):
that he's wealthy. Not so much. Dum drum, dum tum. He
was working at a bar, probablytrying to make ends meeting. I'm not
saying he didn't make great money,but I think some people greatly exaggerate what
they think actors are making. Somemake great money, don't get me wrong,
but that's like the one percent mostSAG actors. This is years ago

(04:05):
that I heard this in an actingclass, but most SAG actors are people
who are in the union, makeless than like I think at the time
it was. This is years ago, so maybe it's more now, but
something like fifteen hundred dollars a year, right, So it's like the top
one to two percent of actors.The stars that are making all the money.
And then there's a lot of otherpeople who are making you know,
and now I'm knocking them good characteractors, soap opera actors, commercial actors.

(04:28):
Actually commercials can be very lucrative,but there's a lot of like,
look, I didn't get rich onAssault the Sasquatch. I didn't get rich
on any of the movies or anyof the theater that I did, So
let's leave it at that. Sowhat I'm saying is some people might be
surprised, Well, this guy wason General Hospital for years and he's working
at a barn downtown al Like,yes, you got to make ends meet

(04:48):
man. So he's working at abar in downtown LA. Apparently he goes
out with the coworker late at night, probably when the bar's closed, about
two in the morning. And I'llplay a clip in a moment from the
Today Show that was talking about thismorning. But he goes out there and
his car, as you know,catalytic converter theft. What they do is

(05:11):
they jack your car up quickly,saw off the mufflers right, and take
off. Usually they're going for cars. I suspect he had a Prius or
test an electric car because a lotof these cars, for some reason,
the electric cars have more of theprecious metals I've heard, or even mufflers

(05:31):
two cars with two mufflers to sportscars, things like that. So what
they're looking for the precious metals inthe catalytic converter, So they steal the
who muffler. They just saw thewhole damn thing off. By the way,
what's that gonna cost you? Yeah, at least a grand to get
it repaired. So these basters don'tcare. So I couldn't help but think,
what bad timing for this guy,Right, this guy, Johnny Whackter,

(05:53):
walks out after a hard night's bartending, probably with a co worker apparently,
and his cars jacked up. Thereare underneath it sawing it off,
basically getting ready to saw it off. So the timing is bad because it
literally takes go watch videos of itonline seconds for these guys sometimes to steal
them, Like they could jack itup in thirty seconds and saw it off
in another thirty seconds. They're throwingit in the back of the truck and

(06:15):
driving off so they can do itsuper quick. So the timing was horrible.
He just had These guys are onthe streets doing it late at night
when they think no one's gonna they'renot gonna encounter anyone, especially police,
right, they don't want the policerolling around the corner. And they're sitting
there sawing stuff off. So thetiming sucked. He just happened to walk
out. Apparently he thought his carwas being towed some sort of parking violation,

(06:38):
and there was a masked man underthe car and the process of probably
sawing off the catilic converter, andhe shot him. And apparently he got
in between the co worker and theassailant, so he was shot. Horrible
outcome, terrible story, but thisis what you get when you let criminals

(07:00):
run hog wild. Now I'm gonnaplay. I almost played at the top
of the show, but I wantedto preface it and I wanted to talk
about this because this just broke andI said, this is right to my
point that this lucy goosey slap onthe wrist response to crime, little crimes
and big crimes. People are gettingcaught in violent assaults, shootings, home
invasions and then let back out.It's crazy, sexual assaults, you name

(07:24):
it. And now we get thiswhere every damn bastard criminal. It's got
a gun on them. You mightnot, but they do. I've told
you, get a gun, geta permit where you are if you can
carry, and if not, youhave to make a decision whether you're going
to just carry anyway like the criminalsdo. But my point, I am
I giving you legal advice. I'mjust saying, this is how crazy it's

(07:45):
getting in every city across America,that people are scared and you can't even
walk out to your car and nothave someone trying to steal your catalytic converter
and get shot dead. Young,good looking actor world ahead of them.
I already did some. Maybe look, there's actors I know that have acted
twenty thirty forty years and have nevergotten as far as he did in his

(08:07):
young life. I'm not kidding.I've known actress. I mean I've known
actress, but probably by now someI've worked with in film, most in
theater, but who are at leastin their seventies now and have done very
little. Maybe you know, theygot a bit part here, they did
a little bit of a speaking rolein a movie, maybe extra work,
maybe a little commercial here, whatever, but not a lot. So this

(08:30):
is one of those professions where youcould work almost your entire life and not
have a lot of success. Youhave to be good, number one.
You have to have connections, meetthe right people, be at the right
place the right time. Lot goesinto it. And now with all the
stuff we find out about Weinstein,and forget about Puffy, I'm going to
talk about Puffy in a whole.I just so much is going on with
that. I don't want to commentnow, right, but there are a

(08:52):
lot of rumblings. I live outhere in La Man and even back east,
A lot of people have been talkingabout this kind of stuff for years.
I've known about his wild parties,which I would never want to go
to. They sound like basically Romanorgies when you get down to it.
But the reason it's an important Idon't care about him, frankly, Like
if he's a pervert and all thisother stuff that's coming out, fine,

(09:13):
I just don't care. He's gonnaget burned down anyway. His life is
probably already over. What's interesting tome is was he working with the Feds?
And does he have Epstein like evidenceon celebrities politicians. This is the
rumblings now right. They took harddrives and apparently had a lot of cameras
in his LA home. And I'msure a New York home Florida, I
believe is where the raid took place. New York, La, Florida.

(09:37):
Other places I've heard of where he'scurrently has homes right now. He might
be in freaking Tahiti, Jamaica,Russia, or someplace that doesn't have extradition.
If he's smart, I mean,he's got to be scared crapliss right
now about all the accusations that aregoing to come out. But if he's
being protected by the Feds, ifhe's in cahoots and has been be honest,

(10:00):
you know, for lack of abetter word, snitching on others in
the rap industry, first of all, his name will be mud as it
pretty much already is. See I'malready doing a show on this. But
I find more intriguing is he workingwith the FEDS and was that well,
all this raid is, all theraids and everything, just to make sure
they got all this stuff that hehad on other people. This is my
theory, Like they're like, allright, he's got all this stuff on

(10:22):
people. He's been working with us. We got to get all that documentation
before he starts destroying it because he'sworried about what else he's got there.
Or let's get all this so wecan pressure him to work with us even
more and cut a deal. Orwe're getting it all just to throw his
ass in prison. We don't careabout the deal he had with us before
and how he was snitching, whichhas been rumored. Right, other rappers

(10:43):
have talked about this, and it'sin the wraps and all sorts of crap.
But I'm doing a show on it. I didn't mean to the point
is I really want to get into, not the scandalous nature of this and
all the accusations he's going down.I don't think he can stop that train
from coming. But I want totalk about Woozy working with the Feds and
why was that raided. So let'ssay, Flamboyant, was it to put

(11:03):
more pressure on him, like youhad better work with us, because now
we got it all. We gotall the stuff that you were telling us
about and thus and more and stuffyou did. So yeah, I've told
you, when the Feds come,you're done. You're done. It's over
when they if they raid you,if they arrest you, which I know
he thinks that's coming to the wholecut any deal he can to save his

(11:24):
ass. But when the Feds slapthat Manila envelope down, they've already got
you. They're not asking questions,they don't want to cut a deal.
They've got you. They're just tellingyou how hard they're going to screw you.
And he's gonna get screwed. He'sgonna get screwed. So we'll take
that up on another show. Butcrime is out of control in New York.

(11:48):
Another and this isn't about actors,but this just keeps I keep seeing
this pop up in the media.Steve Buscemi, a great character actor,
was assaulted by two men I believein Manhattan when he's walking down the street.
Aaron Zelweg Zigweg, the guy fromnine o two and oh, the
kind of you know, snooty blondeguy. He seems like a nice guy
in real life. I'm saying onthe show, I watched that show nine

(12:09):
two one oh, it was kindof like my high school Disneyland by the
Sea. He was assaulted by likea mini bite gang. I don't know
if that was New York or LA, but I remember this. They caught
the guys and like, so criminalsare embolden because they say everybody getting out,
nobody getting locked up. And Imean, I guess why not if

(12:30):
a criminal doesn't want to go tojail for stealing catalytic converters. I mean,
you've got to be pretty hard upto steal catalytic converters. But they'll
just shoot you dead over a muffler. I want even think about that.
They're stealing mufflers. It's not likeit's a diamond heist, you know what
I mean. I'm not saying themoney value matters, but I mean,

(12:52):
you're gonna commit a murder over amuffler, why not just get up walk
away? These criminals don't care.Your life ain't worth a plug nickel.
They're more worried about getting caught andthrown in prison, which doesn't happen anymore,
right, so why not shoot theguy and get away clean? Now

(13:13):
a murder they know they're going awayfor, right, So now they're on
the run. They're probably in Mexiconow. But LAPD has to work fast.
But as I was doing the researchand getting these clips for the show
on Murders, skyrocking everywhere, andI was zeroing in on Philly because they're
murder right in twenty twenty three andtwenty four is just skyrocketed, and nobody's

(13:35):
getting caught. By the way,They're murder conviction rate, if I'm not
mistaken, is below fifty percent,so even worse than the national average if
I remember correctly. Don't quote meon that, but I thought I had
read that. I'm gonna play asuper clip after I play this Today's show
report on the actor. So Iwant you to understand how this is happening
or why this is happening. Youcannot let the wolves into the chicken coop.

(14:00):
That's exactly what we've done. We'vejust kind of like just left the
fence open, the gates open,and we're letting them just come in and
out at will. You're going tojail, don't worry, You're gonna get
right out. And then I wantyou to imagine a guy who's already done
a ton of crimes, so heknows and he's been let out, He's
got a bunch of court dates,he's blowing those off. He's got faire
ue to appears. He knows ifhe gets arrested. He's going away for

(14:22):
a while. So and because they'reon the street, they're not in prison,
so they can still hurt people.What have they gotta lose? Like
sometimes they're like, Mom, Iknow, I'm still in a muffler here,
and yeah, if I went downfor the muffler, okay, but
I got a whole history here becausethey keep letting me out. So this
might be the one that keeps mein jail for another six months or something

(14:43):
a year. Just shoot this guyand try and get away. Who knows,
maybe they'll let me out again.This is the mentality of the criminal
on the street. Let me playthis clip, folks. This is right
near me downtown in La La LongBeach, Orange County is having issh everywhere.
Santa Monica. Forget then it's beastforget it. I mean New York

(15:03):
City, forget it. I've heardI have family that goes into the city
quite often. I have friends andfamily on the East Coast, and trust
me, the city ain't what itused to be. Let me play this
clip so you can hear about thisGeneral Hospital actor. And I just want
you to think you could be goingout to your car in the morning going

(15:24):
to work, coming home erand's withthe family, and there's just somebody.
As you come out to the parkinglot or go out to your car and
maybe your alarm goes off. Yougo, what the heck's going on out
there? And you see a guyunder your car getting ready to saw off
your muffler. You go, hey, what are you doing? Pull's it
going to shoot you dead over amuffler? I mean a muffler. Catalytic

(15:46):
converters. What do they get?I got I'm gonna look it up when
I play this. But let's sayyou have a muffler with the precious metals
in it and they take it tosome hawk guy like they're doing it illegally
because I think there's rules now,at least in California they're trying to do
it. I had they were doingthis here, at least in this city
where you could have your mufflers etchedwith was it your VIN number or not

(16:07):
your vent? I think it wasyour license plate number. But the point
is when they see it etched inthere, the people that they sell it
to, the junkyard of whoever's buyingthese things is supposed to see that.
No, it's stolen basically, orhave them proves this. Your car showed
me the proof and if not,report them right. I don't know if
that's happening right because I'm sure theseguys that are buying are me just as
shady as the guys that sell them. But that's one of the things.

(16:27):
There would be fines levy if youknow, later on comes out they sold
something that shouldn't have been but nobodycares. I don't think etching something on
him. I did it because Isaid, well, that's just one more
failsafe. You'd hope that it wouldhelp a little. But in today's day
and age, I doubt it.I doubt it. Los Angeles, Oh,

(16:48):
young Hollywood actor's life has been cutshort. Thirty seven year old Johnny
Whacter was fatally shot early Saturday morning. Authority say he was killed after approaching
three men who were attempting to youknow, the catalytic converter from his car.
Oh nothing I can't handle. Wactorwas best known for his role as
Brando Corbyn on General Hospital, appearingin one hundred and sixty four episodes of

(17:11):
the popular daytime soap Wacktor's Mother's Scarlet, saying he was chasing his dreams.
He lived life to the fullest.He was a light in a dark room
and he will be very missed,Scarlet Wactor telling MBC that her son was
leaving his other job at a barlater than usual when he approached his car

(17:32):
with a coworker wondering if he wasbeing towed. His mother added that when
a man with a mask looked up, Wactor stepped in front of his coworker
and was then shot. Wactor's deathcomes. I'm at a crime search in
major cities. In New York,actor Steve Bushimie was violently attacked just last
month, while at the same timewomen in the city were being attacked.

(17:52):
I was literally just walking and aman came up and meted me in the
face. Now in Los Angeles,Johnny Wactor's colleagues paying tribute after the shocking
crime, General Hospital, posting hewas truly what of a kind? His
TV wife, writing, my heartis so utterly broken. Johnny, What's
the absolute best man? His manager, telling NBC he pursued his dreams and

(18:17):
achieved them, all the while remaininga good human being. Cameron for others
Now, Wactor's family looking for answersI hope that they will catch whoever did
it. I hope that there willbe some kind of justice for Johnny.
Let's talk about that. Yeah,you know, I hope so. I

(18:37):
tend to doubt it, but Ihope so masked men probably in a stolen
car. You know, how muchcan the witness give them the type of
the car, what the men looklike, height, maybe raised, okay,
but if they're wearing masks, carstolen or maybe just doesn't even have
a plate on it. And ifthere's no video surveillance, which I'm sure

(18:59):
we'd have probably already seen unless thepolice are holding it close to the vest.
But if there is any kind ofsurveillance video, you hope outside a
bar, maybe there's video because fightstuff like that. But I don't know.
We're gonna follow this one and seeif it gets solved. Because I
can tell you right now, ifyou're in Philadelphia, your life isn't worth
the plug Nickel. So moving onfrom LA to Philadelphia. Yes, crime

(19:22):
is exploding, as you heard inthe news clip, in every city.
Philadelphia's gotta be one of the worst. One thing I want to say that
woman who kind of interjected about beingpunched in the face randomly. That is
another thing that is going widely underreported, and it's happening all the time,
Like if you go to like theNew York Post, for example, it's
happening in Manhattan all the time.And I keep seeing these videos and these
reports and it's usually and I youknow, look, I know someone out

(19:45):
there is gonna say or they're doingthat for a reason. They want to
demonize the black man. Okay,maybe I don't know, but in almost
every instance, almost every single oneI've seen, it's a young black man,
a lot of times mentally deranged,but that's besides the point, but
or homeless or experiencing homeless whatever,But it's a young black dude who hits

(20:06):
a young It could be a middleaged black dude. I've seen that recently
too, but hits a young youngeror older. It seems like they're either
really young, like in their twentiesteens, or an older person when I
say old, or ancient seventy eightywhite woman or Asian woman. I've told
you in LA it was horrible,and I don't know if it was a
response which was completely wrong about COVIDand the lockdowns, and it just seemed

(20:33):
like there were a lot of attackson Asian women women. You know,
they always pick somebody who can barelyfight back, someone who's super old,
or just a young lady who's youknow, not going to be able to
handle a big dude swinging on themwithout any kind of reason, no rationale
and no warning, you know,total sucker punch. And I keep seeing

(20:56):
it. So that's another thing thatis widely underreported. And I keep seeing
it happening over and over, justrandom women getting punched or hit. I
mean, I told you about someguy who stabbed an Asian women in LA.
Another guy hit her with a differentwoman with a fire extinguisher, remember
that one, you know, Andit's always the same perpetrator, victim and
modus operandi, never knew each other, no reason for it, completely random.

(21:19):
So yeah, that's another thing yougot to worry about major cities like
New York and LA. I wantto play this superclip of unsolved murders in
Philly, and what I think standsout is the brazeness groups of guys,
multiple murders right killing four or fivepeople in the home crime spree is going
on for months, terrorizing neighborhoods,and just thinking they're going to get away

(21:41):
with it, and a lot oftimes they are because they've got I believe
if it's fifty to fifty, fine, but it's probably less than fifty percent
of a murder solve rate in Philadelphiaand at least two thousand and probably twenty
one through twenty four where all ofthis started exploding. I don't know what
happened, man, I do notknow what happened during the pandemic, but

(22:03):
a lot of people lost their marbles. They just did, because it's like
all sorts of crazy stuff started happeningafter the lockdowns, during and after,
and it seems like they haven't reallysubsided. Look where it's twenty twenty four,
we don't have lockdowns. They're notwearing masks. COVID has been if
it ever was as big of adeal as they made it, and I
know it was a big deal.I'm not a COVID didn't exist type guy,

(22:26):
but I know that the vaccines don'twork. So they blew it up
to the point where everybody was scaredto death. They locked everything down and
got everyone in this kind of Idon't know, sheepest mentality, like victim
mentality, I think that's the bestway a victim mentality, and that has
kind of persisted all the way throughtwenty twenty four. And then you have

(22:47):
the predator or the apex predator,who never is always the same. Wolves.
They can lose their teeth, butnever their nature, so they're going
to be the same. And nowyou've got a populace that was bok back
at this point in twenty twenty fourand during the pandemic, following rules,
doing every damn thing the government said, not going places, wearing face diapers,

(23:10):
sanitizer up the wazoo, everything thatthey forced upon us, and injections
faulty, vaccines faulty. Remember thatI wrote the book on it, Pfizer's
Efficacy Illusion. Go get it onAmazon. By the way, my other
book, Jedi Mind Tricks, forsome reason, is blowing up, not
blowing up, but doing very well. I've seen a spike in purchases of

(23:30):
that book. I just checked todayand I sold like twelve books, so
and that's just within the last whatweek or so. So for some reason,
it's really taking off. And whenI first released it, it got
some reviews. But if you wanta great manual on it's called Jedi mind
tricks, but it's really neuro linguisticprogramming and just influencing people. And it

(23:51):
works in your everyday life. Itcan work at your job and sales and
all sorts of different aspects. ButJedi mind tricks. Go check it out.
And the reason I'm mentioning that isbecause there's another great book, Pfeiser's
Efficacy Illusion, And once you readthat book, it's both books are very
easy to read. They're like manuals. That's why I wrote them like that.
They're very simple to read. Youcould read it and you know,

(24:11):
I was going to say a dayor at least several hours, right,
So they're kind of required Jedi mindtricks now. But Peiser's Efficacy Illusion is
kind of required reading if you listenedto the show ever since while the pandemic,
or at least since the vaccines werereleased, because we questioned my listeners,

(24:32):
myself, others, we questioned thevaccine. We wondered how effective it
was. There were questions about ifthere were as many people dying from COVID
as they were reporting. There arealso questions if they were hiding data on
people that were injured from the vaccinesand then later when all the reports come
out, we're able to read everything. We find out. Indeed, it's
true the vaccines are not effective andsafe, and in fact, they were

(24:56):
skewing the numbers of how many peoplewere dying. You could have died of
cancer and they would attribute it toCOVID nineteen if they tested you later,
even though you didn't have any symptoms. I said, oh yeah, yah,
COVID, So we'll put that inthere too. It was ridiculous and
we all know it. So that'sthe only reason I mentioned that book.
But getting back to my point,it seems like, for whatever reason,
people lost their minds during and afterthe pandemics and the lockdowns, and for

(25:22):
some reason it still persists. Criminalsare embolden and people are still just like
sheep to the slaughter. And unfortunately, I've said this before, if you
don't want to get eaten, don'tlook like food. Well, in Philadelphia
there's a lot of innocent people gettingkilled. Some maybe not so much gang
activity, drugs, Okay, fine, but still you've got emboldened, brazen
criminals. Listen to this report andall these murders, you're like, what

(25:47):
this was over? I think aweek and a half period where I got
these clips. I made sure therewere very recent clips. It's like Philadelphia
is what the city of brotherly love. It seems like the murder capital of
the world. Old No one probablyisn't. I think Ecuador l Salvador takes
that title. But at least inAmerica, Philly's got to be up there

(26:07):
with like Louisiana. You know howmany murders per capita they have. Listen
to this. Philadelphia Police have releasedsurveillance video of two suspects in the homicide
of a man in Frankfurt back onNovember ninth. The suspects fired at least
twenty one shots at James Marcus Taylorfrom close range. This happened on the
fifty four hundred block of Akron Street. If you recognize the suspects or have

(26:30):
any information, called Philadelphia Police.Alfia Police have released new surveillance video and
the deadly shooting of a woman inKensington. It happened on May twenty seventh,
near the intersection of Front Street andEast Alleghany Avenue. The video shows
