(00:24):
It's wala great to see you again, the great Mark Runner in the
newsroom. You came back all right, did Yeah? Fush has been helping
me out here with here's the thing, so I do the show from my
home studio and I pay way toomuch for my internet to have internet problems.
I just don't understand it. Foushsays, well, you gotta call
him. Hey, listen, Ido you know what they do? They
(00:45):
go, well, we ran atest and everything's funny. And what I
just want like a tech to comesit here and stare at things when it
goes wrong. But I can't evenpredict when it's gonna go wrong. You
know, we had You never knowwhen it's gonna work, when it's not
gonna work. So frustrated, sofrustrating. Yeah, but let me tell
you there's no time better spent thanwaiting on the phone with a tech guys.
(01:07):
Stuff. Nothing worse than you know. That's the one thing too.
People talk about the government agencies andhow bad government agencies can be, but
I'm telling you there's a lot ofprivate agencies that are just horrible. Uh.
Sitting there listening waiting for tech support. Terrible. Uh if you have
to cancel like a cell phone service, but horrible. I was doing some
(01:30):
work in Dallas and I was subscribedto the Dallas Morning News. And you
can't just go in there and unsubscribe. You have to call them. And
you know what that is, right, that's what you have to call us
to cancel your subscription. And thatmeans that we're going to send you to
a subscription retention specialist. And theykept saying, well, what if we
just gave it to you for youknow, a dollar a month? And
(01:53):
I went, I don't need it. I'm not working in Dallas anymore.
I don't need any I don't needit at all. They go, what
about fifty cents a month? NoI don't. I don't need it.
Okay, I'm gonna send you tomy manager now. No, I don't
need to talk to your manager.I just need Yeah. Being on the
verge of extinction has really made newspapersput on the hard cell, hasn't it.
(02:15):
Oh it's so frustrating, so frustrating. Did we do something wrong?
No, I don't live there.That's the problem. You didn't do anything
wrong. I don't live there.Oh. God drives me nuts. Well
yeah, and they also get weirdin their tone. It's like your girlfriend,
what are you thinking? Oh right, are you mad at me?
Oh? Yeah, like I haveto justify it. Yeah. Oh it
(02:37):
makes me crazy. And I knowhow frustrating it is when you have to
do the DMV. And if you'vegot to the DMV without an appointment,
you better block off at least halfa day, right. It's like you're
gonna go, you're gonna take anumber, and you're gonna sit, and
you're gonna sit, and you're gonnasit, and you're gonna watch everybody that
has an appointment go ahead of you, which is why getting an appointment is
(02:57):
the way to go. And you'reonly supposed to wait and I totally teen
minutes or something, and it alwaysends up being more like twenty five or
thirty. But that's still better thanfour hours of sitting there waiting, and
then inevitably you get to the youget to the person there and they go,
oh, you're missing this document.So this happened to me when I
first got my very first California driver'slicense. Has been twelve years since I
got it, and they said,well, we need this and we need
(03:20):
that. And I was registering mycar too. They said, well,
well you need your proof of insuranceand I said, okay, it's in
the car. Let me just runand get it. They said, well
you'll have to You'll have to takea number and get to the back of
the line. Oh my gosh,I just spent three hours. Isn't there
any way that you can just takethe next person and then I'll pop rate
back in. It's not how nowthe rules are the rules. If you
(03:42):
meet your driver's license now, youknow, you fill it out, then
there's a question on there that saysit's the motor voter law. Uh.
And they've been doing this for aboutsix years now, and it says,
uh, do you want to registerto vote at the address on your driver's
license? Right? And if youchange your address, that's you can also
update your voter registrations, the motorvoter law, and there are a bunch
(04:08):
of states that have some form ofmotor voter law. I guess it's a
half the state. Twenty five stateshave some form of automatic voter registration at
state agencies. California is one offourteen states with a system that prompts you
to choose. All right, thatmakes perfect sense to me. I'm registering
with the state. You've got myaddress, you've got my information. You
(04:29):
know, I'm a real person.Have to have a you know, I
had to have my my driver's license. I think I'm trying to remember now
it's been a while, but Ithink I had to have my driver's license
from the last state where I lived. And then I also had to have
a birth certificate, which I thoughtwas strange because if I had a driver's
license from the previous state, inthis case, it was Kansas, then
(04:53):
wouldn't that wouldn't that hint to youthat I also had a like, I'm
already legal I there, But no, they needed my birth certiviate. So
I had to call my mom,And I called mom, what what you
know? It's one of those deals. So finally I said, I need
the birth certificate. And I getthrough to her that I needed the birth
certificate and this is I swear toyou. My mother says, I really
(05:15):
don't want to send that to you. I like having that here. So
my mother was collecting my vital documentslike they were my kindergarten spelling tests.
I don't know if you've got this. My mother has this giant trunk of
crap from when I was in elementaryschool, just a bunch of stuff from
when I was anywhere from like kindergartenthrough sixth grade or something. And I
(05:41):
don't know is this a woman thing, because my wife has done the same
thing. We have moved. We'vegot three kids, and she decided they
all needed a trunk. And Ihave moved three trunks full of crap from
Arizona to Kansas, to San Diegoto Arizona to Michigan. And now they're
(06:02):
in a storage unit in Michigan.And I said, why am I still
moving these things? There's such apain. She says, I don't want
to let it. I have tohang on to them. It's the memories
of my children. And you arenever going to pull up this d that
Jacob got in second grade. Ever, so the kids were we were in
(06:25):
northern Michigan, which, by theway, I'm going on vacation here this
weekend. So we were in northernMichigan and my mother and my mother might
as wellman, my wife insisted thatI get all three trunks. Now they
all weigh about ten thousand pounds,and I had to pull them all down
off of a shelf and I hadto drag them into the VRBO, and
(06:46):
she insisted that all of the kidsgo through their trunks. And in my
mind, I'm thinking, oh good, They're going to go through the trunks.
They're going to decide what they wantto keep and what can go.
And I'm gonna I'm going to beable to shrink this mesas down. I'm
gonna be able to go through these, you know, these third grade geography
quizzes, and I'm gonna be ableto get rid of these things. No,
(07:10):
she had them go through every document, every piece of paper, every
little test, every little school project, all these things that she had me
lugging around from Kansas to from Arizonato Kansas to California back to Arizona and
then to Michigan. And I andshe says, okay, now everybody put
them back, and then Chris willput them back up on the shelf.
And again these things weigh, notjoking, sixty to eighty pounds, depending
(07:32):
on the kid. Some kids shelikes more than the others. And I've
got they're just sitting on a shelf. They're just taking up space. So
it drives me nut. So anyway, I called my mother and I asked
for this bursar to Vegas that Ican get my California driver's license. And
Mom says, I don't want togive that up. I want to hang
on to that. So I hadto pay I don't remember how much it
(07:54):
was, fifteen bucks, twenty fivebucks something like that to contact the a
Department of Vital Statistics or whatever andget copies of my birth certificate so that
I could have some on hand ifever I wanted to get a passport or
a California driver's license. So Idid that, and then at the time,
(08:16):
again this was twelve years ago,I had to sign up. I
had also go in and register tovote separately. Now you can do it
with the motor voter registration. Well, now they want there's a bill that's
been proposed that would remove the questiondo you want to register to vote,
and it would just automatically register youto vote. The idea here, they
say the bill aims to capture thestates four point seven million residents who are
(08:39):
unregistered but eligible to vote, andwho are predominantly black, Latino, Asian,
or younger. I don't know.I don't know who's younger than Asian,
but I guess that's a whole otherstatistic. Opponents say that registering to
vote should be voluntary, and theydon't see the bill as an effective way
to increase voter diversity. Here's theonly downside that I see to like,
(09:03):
I don't have any problem with it. Register that's great, get people registered,
the registered to vote, and thenyou eliminate confusion on election day,
and you eliminate people who are claimingthat the sky is falling, the election
is rigged, the registered people votingor not voting, or provisional ballots,
and all the other crap, likeget rid of all that. That's fine.
This would this would tighten that allup. I'm all for it.
(09:24):
The only downside I can see,it's a pretty minor one, is that
it is a little bit tougher tokeep the voter rolls clean. So you
got people that are leaving California,and how many of those people are likely
to come to contact the DMV orthe elections official or whatever and then have
their information removed? And I didhave this happen in one sait I was
(09:46):
in Arizona. They had the motorvoter registration and I moved and they said,
but my registration was still live inArizona. So I had to send
a letter proving that I no longerliving there. So I could have them
just drop me from the rules.I'd prove it was me, I'd prove
I no longer live there, allthat other stuff. So you have a
(10:07):
number of people that are leaving California, right, and are they going to
are they going to do this stuff? And you can actually argue this already
happening with people that are leaving thestate. But now, I mean,
if you're adding an extra five millionpeople to the roles, and these are
people who otherwise didn't take it uponthemselves to keep their paperwork straight in the
first place, are they likely toremove themselves from the voter rules? And
(10:28):
I don't know, we're gonna beable to keep the voter rules clean,
and then you're going to have peoplescreaming, well they were registered in California
and in Utah and ooh, electionof stolen and I don't want to deal
with that crap. Pomona is lookingat a new rule that would give income
for everyone. Sounds pretty good ifyou don't have a job. I'll tell
you who qualifies for that. Nextyou're listening too later with Moe Kelly on
(10:52):
demand from KFI A sixty. Howabout income for everybody? Mark? This
sounds good to you, doesn't it? Everybody gets a paycheck. I've been
reading studies about that lately, soI'm anxious to hear what you got that
they that some places are saying theuniversal income programs are very beneficial to the
communities. That lifts up the wholecommunity. So Pomona is launching a universal
(11:16):
income program that will give money tohundreds of residents through a lottery. Oh
wait a minute, it's the PomonaHousing Excuse me, the Pomona Household Universal
Grant Program, which they're calling HUG. It should be pug phu gene with
(11:37):
the silent pea pen, but they'recalling it HUG. The household Universal Grand.
It will choose six hundred eligible residentsand assign them to two groups,
a paid group and a control group. You know what sucks being in the
control group? Yeah, you don'twant the money plus CBO, do you?
(11:58):
No? No, you don't,Okay, So the paved group.
And here's where it's not even likethey're splitting it half and half. So
it's six hundred people. Two hundredand fifty residents are in the paid group.
Three hundred fifty residents are getting asyou put it, the money placebo.
They're getting only twenty dollars a month. The two hundred and fifty residents
are getting five hundred dollars a month. So what a big difference there isn't
(12:26):
there? Yeah? Wow. Eligibilityrequirements include you have to be a resident
to pomone at the time of application. You have to be eighteen years or
old at the time of application.You have to have a ratty kid under
four at the time of application,and you have to be you have to
meet at least one of the fourAmerican Rescued plan At qualifiers I don't pull
(12:50):
out. And then you have toagree to consent to a research study conducted
by UCLI hold on one of thefour requirements of the American rest Thank you,
blah blah blah, detailed eligibility requirements. Oh man, this is allrdy
to come. Does it involve gettinga tattoo? Oh? That would be
(13:11):
great, wouldn't it? Okay,you have to have experienced a negative impact
due to the COVID nineteen program apandemic, including you or anyone in your
household experiencing unapplointment during the pandemic.Ooh I did you were anyone in your
household experiencing increased food or housing insecurityduring or as a result of the pandemic.
Your home address would have to belocated within a qualified census trap.
(13:35):
You would be currently receiving any ofthe other benefits like telgrants, tree and
reduced price lunches, Headstart, LowIncome Energy SNAP benefits, Medicaid, medical
Children's health insurance, blah blah blah, or your household income has to be
certain and then if you are inthose categories, then you are entered into
(13:56):
the lottery. And then you haveless than a fifty percent chance of getting
five hundred dollars a month for eighteenmonths, five hundred bucks a month could
make a big difference. It's notgood. It's not like you can live
on the five hundred dollars a month. All program participants can also participate in
surveys from UCLA. Each completed surveywill include a fifty dollars bonus payment.
(14:16):
I'd be taken on the circles anything, let's see counseling benefits, blah blah
blah. Lottery to select winners wouldbe held on July tenth. Applications are
open until July eighth, and ifyou are selected, the first payments are
scheduled to be dispersed through a leakreloadable debit card on August twenty sixth,
(14:37):
So that's coming. But if youare selected and then you're sitting on your
keyster for the next six weeks becauseyou know you've got a five hundred dollars
check coming in, that's not agood sign. So hopefully that's not what
you're doing. But it could potentiallyoffer some relief. Make it a lottery
really makes it sound dystopian, doesn'tYes, Yeah, why not just have
(14:58):
trial by combat while you're at it? Okay, Oh, what a great
plan. Yeah, but there's apresidential nominee that suggested trial by combat.
Yeah, yeah, I think thathappened. Yeah, it is a bizarre,
bizarre way of doing it. Idon't know that I can think of
necessarily a better way other than firstcome, first serve. I'll say this,
(15:18):
anytime you're participating in participating in anysort of a research study, there's
always the chance that you were inthe control group, and that sucks.
And I'll give you an example ofthis. When I lived in Lawrence,
Kansas, the university used to bethese research studies, and so they would
look for people to participate, andmy wife and I got involved. No
excuse me, I got involved,my wife and not. I got involved
(15:41):
in one that was all about itwas a weight loss then, and the
study was whether or not in personmeetings were more effective than tell a meeting
like support groups like weight watchers usedto do. You know how, I
used to you go on the programthat youn go meet once a week or
whatever and just discuss your trials,tripulation, successes, failures, all that
(16:02):
kind of stuff. I always didassume those were for hookups strictly. Uh
see, I'm I'm gonna say thingsthat are gonna get me in trouble and
I don't want to do that,okay, sorry, No. I definitely
looked better at the end of it, and I would probably be somebody that
that people would want to hook upwith at the end, but certainly out
of the communing, all right.But I think that there were people that
were in a control group who justthey just were told to go on a
(16:26):
diet and and see how much weightthey lost. So my group, I
was on the phone group. Inever I didn't have to go in everything,
which was great, and I losta decent amount of weight and it
was successful and all that other stuff. But I think there were people that
didn't have anything were just said,why don't you try dieting on your own
and see how it goes. AndI thought that sucks being in that control
group because I was getting free food, I was getting the support, I
(16:48):
was getting, uh, you know, counseling for you know, what are
you facing with you all this stuffI was in. And then I thought,
there's these other people that wanted tolose weight. They joined a research
study, and what's up happening isthey're just kind of set out on their
own and they say, can youjust come back and weigh in once a
month. Yeah, they're just likesink or swim tubby. You're on your
own right. But the thing isis that before they got involved in the
(17:11):
group, they were in this exactsame situation. So big part of the
control group always sucks. Always.You never want to be a part of
the control ever, unless, ofcourse, you're testing some drug that you
know, rows odd limbs or somethinglike that. I'm bizarre. The Supreme
Court is in the headlines because theyare dropping all kinds of opinions. We
(17:33):
are expecting more to pop out tomorrow. I'll tell you what the high profile
ones are that are left and whythe Supreme Court is all about showmanship.
That is next. I'm Chris Merrilland from O Kelly I am six quarter
Relive everywhere in your iHeartRadio app you'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty. Itis Supreme Court Opinion Season. I love
(17:56):
Supreme Court Opinion Season. I swearto I love it so hard because cases
that make it to the Supreme Courtare usually tough ones. They challenge the
Constitution in a way that hasn't beenchallenged before, or they validate decisions that
have been decided before. The onething that the Supreme Court is doing us
(18:21):
a little bit different than previous Supremecourts is that they're not giving the same
amount of deference to precedent. Obviously, Roe v. Wade being overturned means
that they looked at precedent for yearspast and they said no, that no
longer applies. So there are somecases that the Supreme Court undoubtedly is going
to hear that that should already bedecided case import they get to accept it.
(18:48):
But the ACLU is challenging this lawthat has just passed in Louisiana.
So, Louisiana passes this law thatsays that all publicly funded schools have to
post the ten Command in all ofthe classrooms from kindergarten through all of the
publicly funded universities. And they say, well, this is just a it's
a moral guideline from the original rulemaker posts. I think it was I
(19:15):
think it was John Oliver that pointedout that no, no, the Egyptians
were making rules well more then so. But nonetheless, what is curious about
this is that this has sort ofbeen challenged in Supreme Court numerous times Kentucky
had a law and again I believethis was pointed out on John Oliver's shown,
(19:38):
but it was a Kentucky law innineteen eighty that was very similar and
the courts back then said, no, you can't. This is an endorsement
of a religion. It's a publicendorsement of our religion. Louisiana said,
we are going to do it anyway. And why do they say it,
Well, that's because the court hasI don't want to say packed, I
(19:59):
think that's an overstate, but thecourt definitely has a very conservative ideological lean
now more conservative socially conservative than whatthey've had in the past, as evidence
by overturning over Wade and everything wouldcome since then. So if the Louisiana
law gets to the Supreme Court,will the Supreme Court find a way to
(20:19):
say that it is legal? Wesaw this a few years ago. There
was a case out of the stateof Washington where a coach was praying with
students on the football and the suppositionwas that if the coach is praying with
students and it's voluntary, what studentfor student athlete football player blughead wants to
(20:45):
wants to skip out on that optionalteam activity. The coach, being the
leader, may notice that you arenot participating in his prayer circle. And
if you're not participating, is helikely to give preferential treatment to those who
do participate? In other words,you are ingratiating yourself into his circle of
(21:08):
the influence, right, And sothat was challenged. It goes to the
courts, and the courts say,no, it's totally okay because you're not
compelled to participate. That's different thanwhat we've seen from other courts. Other
courts would have said, now,if you are a representative of the school,
you can't be endorsing anyone religion.And that's what we're seeing there in
(21:30):
State Washington. So is the courtlikely to also find that even though Louisiana
is quite specifically endorsing the Judaeo Christiantraditions at the Ten Commandments, are they
going to say, well, that'sall right because you don't have to read
the Ten Commandments even though they're goingto be posted in front of your face
(21:51):
everywhere you go. We don't knowhow the sportsman Louisiana has decided that they
are going to take a shot atthem. So that's what they're doing.
And so as we look at thesedifferent decisions that are coming from the Supreme
Court, we are kind of tryingto read the tea leaves as to how
they may rule for future cases.And there are some coming up in the
(22:15):
future here that that I think aregoing to have a sizeable impact to not
a large number of people, butsort of the direction that the country goes
when it comes to accepting people ofdifferent social ilk. For instance, the
(22:37):
Supreme Court is set to hear achallenge they announced this last week that will
challenge the Tennessee law that bans transitioncare for minors. So, in the
state of Tennessee, if you haveyoung people who say that they are not
identifying as their birth gender and theywant to start, for instance, mormonal
(22:57):
therapy or even a counseling, thatthey would be prohibited from doing. So,
I know what happens as a lotof people read into this and they
say, oh, no, thatjust bans surgery without the parents' permission.
And you've probably seen memes about thisabout how well, you can't rent the
car, you can't vote, youcan't buy cigarettes, you can't buy alcohol,
(23:18):
but you even lop off your peniswithout your parents' permission when you're thirteen
years old. No, you can't. There's no state that says, sure,
just pop on in for transition surgery. We're happy to do it for
you. And mostly that's because thirteenyear olds don't have the money to pay
for it. But I'm joking.No, you definitely have to have parental
permission, but your modal treatment canstart at a younger age with parental consent
(23:42):
and of course through psychological counseling andthis sort of thing that goes into it.
Tennessee has said Nope, none ofthat, so that's been challenged going
to the Supreme Court. The SupremeCourt will have to decide whether or not
somebody who's under the age of eighteen, with parental consent or whatever else is
going on here, will have theability to to go through that transition.
(24:02):
The outcome of that will will bemore about parental rights than it is about
transitioning. King It's this is aparental It's going to be portrayed as an
LGBTQ case, but it really isa parental rights case. It's a rights
(24:22):
case for people under the age ofeighteen. It's a parental rights case.
And suppose I'm a parent and Ihave dealt with my kid going through puberty,
and my child, from a veryyoung age has not identified with their
birth gender. And as a parent, I know something's not right, and
I take them to a psychologist andthe psychologist agrees that now they are they're
(24:45):
misgendered basically right. And I knowthis is a relatively new science, especially
it's new to acceptance for a lotof them. So let's suppose that I,
as a parent, then go toa doctor and the doctor says,
okay, I'm evaluating, and thepsychologist is a valuator, and he,
as a paredes is the value andthe and the patient themselves say that they're
being misgendered. Can we start hormonaltreatment? And Tennessee is saying no,
(25:07):
But as a parent, I go, I think this is what's best for
my kid. So is that it'snot necessarily LGBTQ plus rights, even though
that is the vehicle being used toset a Supreme Court, it's more of
a parental rights case anyway, asthe as the verdicts come out this you
know this, the verdicts were comingout this week, and we start to
(25:27):
get a little bit of insight intothese Justices. It gives us an ability
to get out our crystal ball andsuppose how they're going to opine on some
of these future cases. All right, that's enough. I just love Supreme
Court stuff because it's never what itseems, and it's always there's always two
legitimate arguments to most every case thatmakes it from of the Supreme Court.
(25:48):
And I I geek out on it, all right, I Chris Merril k
if I am sexporting your life everywherein your iHeartRadio app. You're listening to
Later with Moe Kelly on demand fromKFI AM six forty. Remember you're gonna
be able to hear the CNN presidentialdebate tomorrow at six pm on CNN and
(26:10):
simulcast on KFI. And then rightafter that debate will come on and just
rambled about whatever we just heard.So that you got that going for you.
I know you're looking forward to it, Mark, if you don't mind
it Thursday, not tomorrow, Tomorrow'sWednesday. Oh I'm sorry, I got
my days all messed up. Yeah, yeaheah, you're right, dang,
I was thinking we had the shortshow tomorrow Thursday. Well, the week's
(26:33):
flying by so fast. You couldblame it. I know, I ain't
that a border. Okay, SoThursday, yeah, okay, Thursday,
six pm, very good CNN PresidentialDebate. I don't really thought it was
Wednesday. Oh my head is allscrewed up. Well, we all lose
a day here and there. Iknow, I was thinking about the Supreme
Court cases, and you see thatthey changed their schedule, so they're going
(26:53):
to do releases on Wednesday and Thursdayand Friday. So I, for whatever
reason, I had my mind todayit was Wednesday and we were going to
released since Thursday. Whatever, itdoesn't matter. What do you have?
Oh, I do a segment whenI do the Sunday Show. Please feel
free to join me Sunday afternoons.I'm campfind is called La Law, and
(27:14):
I take a look at the lawmakers, the lawbreakers, and the times that
there ought to be a law.Basically, I just sound like a crash
of the old man complaining about thekids these days, the laws they break
and why they all do it.For TikTok Cloud. One of the stories
that is popping up has everything todo with the You remember the incident from
a few weeks ago where deputies excuseme not deputies that would be Shrif's department.
(27:37):
Officers from Burbank picked up a homelessguy and they took him just over
into the city limits of Los Angeles, right out in front of one of
the council member's office, the president, Paul Grecorian, and they just dropped
the homeless person off and then theydrove away. So cops taking almost person
(28:00):
and dropping them in Los Angeles andthen driving off. So that obviously has
created a bit of a stirt.And so now the LA City Council is
demanding answers and accountability for Burbank officials. Not if you remember this the details
of the story, but the waythat Burbank explained it when when the video
(28:22):
was first released was odd Corecrean says, the Burbank police department putting this man
in handcuffs and taking him to thecity of Los Angeles where someone else will
deal with it. And obviously thisis a callous pool and then humane,
also fundamentally irresponsible. So Burbank saidthat officers were initially called to the hospital
(28:48):
for reports of a naked man ata bus stop. They sit, so
obviously the guy's got some mental illnessissues, right, they see The man
eventually got dressed, got into thepatrol vehicle and asked to be dropped off
in the North Hollywood area. Thedepartment says they're conducting an in depth investigation.
Here is the state. I lovethis. This this is the best.
I mean, this sounds like melying to my parents and making up
(29:14):
the most convoluted concoction of garbage inorder for my parents. Maybe they'll believe
this one. So here's what theysaid. As the individual did not appear
to have transportation, and to gaincooperation for the individual to put on cloathing,
the officers offered to drive the individualto a place of his choosing.
Okay, Vegas. Oh no,now Vegas. You'll just take him into
(29:37):
LA's pot. Okay great. Thestatements from the police went on to say,
initially the individual was asked to betaken to Sunlan and ultimately agree to
be transported to the Metro red Linein North Hollywood. He voluntarily got into
the patrol vehicle and was driven towardthe Metro red Line station. Along the
way, the individual asked to beled out of the patrol vehicle to get
coffee. The officers complied immediately withhis request. Over and let the individual
(30:00):
out of the patrol vehicle in thefifty two hundred block of Lancasham Boulevard.
The Burbank Police Department remains committed totreating the unhouse community with compassion and respect
and thanks Los Angeles City Council PresidentPaul Krane for bringing this matter to our
attention. The police did not addresswhy the man was in handcuffs. Okay,
so to get this, here's whythis doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
(30:26):
Suppose that you are just smashed outof your corn. You went to a
house party and you are smashed.You don't want to drive your vehicle.
You don't want to drive, andso you decide you're going to stumble now
in your drunken stupor you forgot thatyou live six and a half miles away,
(30:47):
because you think I'll just walked.It's fine, it's just takeing me
a little lone and I'll get thereand where there's fine. So then you
start stumbling down the road. Acruiser pulls up and sees you trying to
walk a straight line on a sideand it's not going very well. So
the cruiser pulls over, checks onyour your well being, right, okay,
so far. So the cruiser says, what are you doing. You
go, I'm going home. Andthe officer say, how much have you
(31:11):
had to drink tonight? You go, I just had a couple of beers.
I'm fine, And they go,oh, okay, well listen,
we're a little bit concerned for yoursafety. Everybody's flying so far right,
And you go, no, no, no, no, no, I'm
I'm I'm I'm just I just liveup there around the city and I'm just
gonna I'm fine. And they say, you know what we're gonna do.
(31:33):
We're gonna wake here with you andwe're going to contact somebody to come get
you. That's where the story deviatesfrom what we're seeing from the police.
Excuse you. The police don't say, well, why don't you put on
these handcuffs, jump on end,and we'll take you wherever you want to
go. You see the police say, let's get somebody to come pick you
(31:55):
up. In fact, if youare a passenger, let's say you've had
a few to drink, and you'rea passenger in a car and the drivers
had a few to drink and yougo out. Your driver says, I'll
give your ride home I'm I'm soberto drive and find and they get pulled
over for drinking and driving. Thepolice will say, let's do a test,
and then they go, you you'redrinking. We're going to take you
(32:17):
in right to U irens. Inthe meantime, you're a passenger, you
haven't done anything wrong, and thepolice say, you know what, we're
gonna wait here with you. Thecar is going to be towed, we're
going to make sure you get homesafely. We'll wait while you call somebody.
It's not like they're saying, oh, you know what we are,
We're we're Boo Burbank's finus uber.That's not happening. And certainly they don't
(32:42):
say. You don't say, hey, listen, if you're gonna give me
a ride home, can I justput on some handcuffs? Does those look
fun? Nope, it doesn't happen. So the story about, well,
they wanted to ride, so wethought we'd give him a ride anywhere he
wanted to go, and he justhappened to want to go somewhere not in
Burbank, and so we threw somecuffs on him, and he wanted to
stop and get coffee, so wethought, sure, coffee sounds great.
(33:06):
It doesn't make any certense. Itdoesn't make sense at all. So I'm
not buying. I can tell youbuy it. As a reporter, if
outfits investigate themselves, they have aweird tendency to exonerate themselves. Have you
noticed this? That's bizarre. Thatis like when I'm a teenager and my
parents think I'm lying and they say, why don't you tell us if you're
(33:27):
lying? And I go, Nope, I'm not, and they go,
good enough, bras, yep,move on, yep, everything seems fine
here he said he wasn't lying.What can I do but believe him.
Let's just gratitude. And by theway, you get quicker service in Starbucks
if you're cuffed. Yeah, I'mnot buying, not buying it at at
all. Chris Maryland from O'Kelly kIF I am supported. We're live everywhere

(00:24):
It's wala great to see you again, the great Mark Runner in the
newsroom. You came back all right, did Yeah? Fush has been helping
me out here with here's the thing, so I do the show from my
home studio and I pay way toomuch for my internet to have internet problems.
I just don't understand it. Foushsays, well, you gotta call
him. Hey, listen, Ido you know what they do? They
(00:45):
go, well, we ran atest and everything's funny. And what I
just want like a tech to comesit here and stare at things when it
goes wrong. But I can't evenpredict when it's gonna go wrong. You
know, we had You never knowwhen it's gonna work, when it's not
gonna work. So frustrated, sofrustrating. Yeah, but let me tell
you there's no time better spent thanwaiting on the phone with a tech guys.
(01:07):
Stuff. Nothing worse than you know. That's the one thing too.
People talk about the government agencies andhow bad government agencies can be, but
I'm telling you there's a lot ofprivate agencies that are just horrible. Uh.
Sitting there listening waiting for tech support. Terrible. Uh if you have
to cancel like a cell phone service, but horrible. I was doing some
(01:30):
work in Dallas and I was subscribedto the Dallas Morning News. And you
can't just go in there and unsubscribe. You have to call them. And
you know what that is, right, that's what you have to call us
to cancel your subscription. And thatmeans that we're going to send you to
a subscription retention specialist. And theykept saying, well, what if we
just gave it to you for youknow, a dollar a month? And
(01:53):
I went, I don't need it. I'm not working in Dallas anymore.
I don't need any I don't needit at all. They go, what
about fifty cents a month? NoI don't. I don't need it.
Okay, I'm gonna send you tomy manager now. No, I don't
need to talk to your manager.I just need Yeah. Being on the
verge of extinction has really made newspapersput on the hard cell, hasn't it.
(02:15):
Oh it's so frustrating, so frustrating. Did we do something wrong?
No, I don't live there.That's the problem. You didn't do anything
wrong. I don't live there.Oh. God drives me nuts. Well
yeah, and they also get weirdin their tone. It's like your girlfriend,
what are you thinking? Oh right, are you mad at me?
Oh? Yeah, like I haveto justify it. Yeah. Oh it
(02:37):
makes me crazy. And I knowhow frustrating it is when you have to
do the DMV. And if you'vegot to the DMV without an appointment,
you better block off at least halfa day, right. It's like you're
gonna go, you're gonna take anumber, and you're gonna sit, and
you're gonna sit, and you're gonnasit, and you're gonna watch everybody that
has an appointment go ahead of you, which is why getting an appointment is
(02:57):
the way to go. And you'reonly supposed to wait and I totally teen
minutes or something, and it alwaysends up being more like twenty five or
thirty. But that's still better thanfour hours of sitting there waiting, and
then inevitably you get to the youget to the person there and they go,
oh, you're missing this document.So this happened to me when I
first got my very first California driver'slicense. Has been twelve years since I
got it, and they said,well, we need this and we need
(03:20):
that. And I was registering mycar too. They said, well,
well you need your proof of insuranceand I said, okay, it's in
the car. Let me just runand get it. They said, well
you'll have to You'll have to takea number and get to the back of
the line. Oh my gosh,I just spent three hours. Isn't there
any way that you can just takethe next person and then I'll pop rate
back in. It's not how nowthe rules are the rules. If you
(03:42):
meet your driver's license now, youknow, you fill it out, then
there's a question on there that saysit's the motor voter law. Uh.
And they've been doing this for aboutsix years now, and it says,
uh, do you want to registerto vote at the address on your driver's
license? Right? And if youchange your address, that's you can also
update your voter registrations, the motorvoter law, and there are a bunch
(04:08):
of states that have some form ofmotor voter law. I guess it's a
half the state. Twenty five stateshave some form of automatic voter registration at
state agencies. California is one offourteen states with a system that prompts you
to choose. All right, thatmakes perfect sense to me. I'm registering
with the state. You've got myaddress, you've got my information. You
(04:29):
know, I'm a real person.Have to have a you know, I
had to have my my driver's license. I think I'm trying to remember now
it's been a while, but Ithink I had to have my driver's license
from the last state where I lived. And then I also had to have
a birth certificate, which I thoughtwas strange because if I had a driver's
license from the previous state, inthis case, it was Kansas, then
(04:53):
wouldn't that wouldn't that hint to youthat I also had a like, I'm
already legal I there, But no, they needed my birth certiviate. So
I had to call my mom,And I called mom, what what you
know? It's one of those deals. So finally I said, I need
the birth certificate. And I getthrough to her that I needed the birth
certificate and this is I swear toyou. My mother says, I really
(05:15):
don't want to send that to you. I like having that here. So
my mother was collecting my vital documentslike they were my kindergarten spelling tests.
I don't know if you've got this. My mother has this giant trunk of
crap from when I was in elementaryschool, just a bunch of stuff from
when I was anywhere from like kindergartenthrough sixth grade or something. And I
(05:41):
don't know is this a woman thing, because my wife has done the same
thing. We have moved. We'vegot three kids, and she decided they
all needed a trunk. And Ihave moved three trunks full of crap from
Arizona to Kansas, to San Diegoto Arizona to Michigan. And now they're
(06:02):
in a storage unit in Michigan.And I said, why am I still
moving these things? There's such apain. She says, I don't want
to let it. I have tohang on to them. It's the memories
of my children. And you arenever going to pull up this d that
Jacob got in second grade. Ever, so the kids were we were in
(06:25):
northern Michigan, which, by theway, I'm going on vacation here this
weekend. So we were in northernMichigan and my mother and my mother might
as wellman, my wife insisted thatI get all three trunks. Now they
all weigh about ten thousand pounds,and I had to pull them all down
off of a shelf and I hadto drag them into the VRBO, and
(06:46):
she insisted that all of the kidsgo through their trunks. And in my
mind, I'm thinking, oh good, They're going to go through the trunks.
They're going to decide what they wantto keep and what can go.
And I'm gonna I'm going to beable to shrink this mesas down. I'm
gonna be able to go through these, you know, these third grade geography
quizzes, and I'm gonna be ableto get rid of these things. No,
(07:10):
she had them go through every document, every piece of paper, every
little test, every little school project, all these things that she had me
lugging around from Kansas to from Arizonato Kansas to California back to Arizona and
then to Michigan. And I andshe says, okay, now everybody put
them back, and then Chris willput them back up on the shelf.
And again these things weigh, notjoking, sixty to eighty pounds, depending
(07:32):
on the kid. Some kids shelikes more than the others. And I've
got they're just sitting on a shelf. They're just taking up space. So
it drives me nut. So anyway, I called my mother and I asked
for this bursar to Vegas that Ican get my California driver's license. And
Mom says, I don't want togive that up. I want to hang
on to that. So I hadto pay I don't remember how much it
(07:54):
was, fifteen bucks, twenty fivebucks something like that to contact the a
Department of Vital Statistics or whatever andget copies of my birth certificate so that
I could have some on hand ifever I wanted to get a passport or
a California driver's license. So Idid that, and then at the time,
(08:16):
again this was twelve years ago,I had to sign up. I
had also go in and register tovote separately. Now you can do it
with the motor voter registration. Well, now they want there's a bill that's
been proposed that would remove the questiondo you want to register to vote,
and it would just automatically register youto vote. The idea here, they
say the bill aims to capture thestates four point seven million residents who are
(08:39):
unregistered but eligible to vote, andwho are predominantly black, Latino, Asian,
or younger. I don't know.I don't know who's younger than Asian,
but I guess that's a whole otherstatistic. Opponents say that registering to
vote should be voluntary, and theydon't see the bill as an effective way
to increase voter diversity. Here's theonly downside that I see to like,
(09:03):
I don't have any problem with it. Register that's great, get people registered,
the registered to vote, and thenyou eliminate confusion on election day,
and you eliminate people who are claimingthat the sky is falling, the election
is rigged, the registered people votingor not voting, or provisional ballots,
and all the other crap, likeget rid of all that. That's fine.
This would this would tighten that allup. I'm all for it.
(09:24):
The only downside I can see,it's a pretty minor one, is that
it is a little bit tougher tokeep the voter rolls clean. So you
got people that are leaving California,and how many of those people are likely
to come to contact the DMV orthe elections official or whatever and then have
their information removed? And I didhave this happen in one sait I was
(09:46):
in Arizona. They had the motorvoter registration and I moved and they said,
but my registration was still live inArizona. So I had to send
a letter proving that I no longerliving there. So I could have them
just drop me from the rules.I'd prove it was me, I'd prove
I no longer live there, allthat other stuff. So you have a
(10:07):
number of people that are leaving California, right, and are they going to
are they going to do this stuff? And you can actually argue this already
happening with people that are leaving thestate. But now, I mean,
if you're adding an extra five millionpeople to the roles, and these are
people who otherwise didn't take it uponthemselves to keep their paperwork straight in the
first place, are they likely toremove themselves from the voter rules? And
(10:28):
I don't know, we're gonna beable to keep the voter rules clean,
and then you're going to have peoplescreaming, well they were registered in California
and in Utah and ooh, electionof stolen and I don't want to deal
with that crap. Pomona is lookingat a new rule that would give income
for everyone. Sounds pretty good ifyou don't have a job. I'll tell
you who qualifies for that. Nextyou're listening too later with Moe Kelly on
(10:52):
demand from KFI A sixty. Howabout income for everybody? Mark? This
sounds good to you, doesn't it? Everybody gets a paycheck. I've been
reading studies about that lately, soI'm anxious to hear what you got that
they that some places are saying theuniversal income programs are very beneficial to the
communities. That lifts up the wholecommunity. So Pomona is launching a universal
(11:16):
income program that will give money tohundreds of residents through a lottery. Oh
wait a minute, it's the PomonaHousing Excuse me, the Pomona Household Universal
Grant Program, which they're calling HUG. It should be pug phu gene with
(11:37):
the silent pea pen, but they'recalling it HUG. The household Universal Grand.
It will choose six hundred eligible residentsand assign them to two groups,
a paid group and a control group. You know what sucks being in the
control group? Yeah, you don'twant the money plus CBO, do you?
(11:58):
No? No, you don't,Okay, So the paved group.
And here's where it's not even likethey're splitting it half and half. So
it's six hundred people. Two hundredand fifty residents are in the paid group.
Three hundred fifty residents are getting asyou put it, the money placebo.
They're getting only twenty dollars a month. The two hundred and fifty residents
are getting five hundred dollars a month. So what a big difference there isn't
(12:26):
there? Yeah? Wow. Eligibilityrequirements include you have to be a resident
to pomone at the time of application. You have to be eighteen years or
old at the time of application.You have to have a ratty kid under
four at the time of application,and you have to be you have to
meet at least one of the fourAmerican Rescued plan At qualifiers I don't pull
(12:50):
out. And then you have toagree to consent to a research study conducted
by UCLI hold on one of thefour requirements of the American rest Thank you,
blah blah blah, detailed eligibility requirements. Oh man, this is allrdy
to come. Does it involve gettinga tattoo? Oh? That would be
(13:11):
great, wouldn't it? Okay,you have to have experienced a negative impact
due to the COVID nineteen program apandemic, including you or anyone in your
household experiencing unapplointment during the pandemic.Ooh I did you were anyone in your
household experiencing increased food or housing insecurityduring or as a result of the pandemic.
Your home address would have to belocated within a qualified census trap.
(13:35):
You would be currently receiving any ofthe other benefits like telgrants, tree and
reduced price lunches, Headstart, LowIncome Energy SNAP benefits, Medicaid, medical
Children's health insurance, blah blah blah, or your household income has to be
certain and then if you are inthose categories, then you are entered into
(13:56):
the lottery. And then you haveless than a fifty percent chance of getting
five hundred dollars a month for eighteenmonths, five hundred bucks a month could
make a big difference. It's notgood. It's not like you can live
on the five hundred dollars a month. All program participants can also participate in
surveys from UCLA. Each completed surveywill include a fifty dollars bonus payment.
(14:16):
I'd be taken on the circles anything, let's see counseling benefits, blah blah
blah. Lottery to select winners wouldbe held on July tenth. Applications are
open until July eighth, and ifyou are selected, the first payments are
scheduled to be dispersed through a leakreloadable debit card on August twenty sixth,
(14:37):
So that's coming. But if youare selected and then you're sitting on your
keyster for the next six weeks becauseyou know you've got a five hundred dollars
check coming in, that's not agood sign. So hopefully that's not what
you're doing. But it could potentiallyoffer some relief. Make it a lottery
really makes it sound dystopian, doesn'tYes, Yeah, why not just have
(14:58):
trial by combat while you're at it? Okay, Oh, what a great
plan. Yeah, but there's apresidential nominee that suggested trial by combat.
Yeah, yeah, I think thathappened. Yeah, it is a bizarre,
bizarre way of doing it. Idon't know that I can think of
necessarily a better way other than firstcome, first serve. I'll say this,
(15:18):
anytime you're participating in participating in anysort of a research study, there's
always the chance that you were inthe control group, and that sucks.
And I'll give you an example ofthis. When I lived in Lawrence,
Kansas, the university used to bethese research studies, and so they would
look for people to participate, andmy wife and I got involved. No
excuse me, I got involved,my wife and not. I got involved
(15:41):
in one that was all about itwas a weight loss then, and the
study was whether or not in personmeetings were more effective than tell a meeting
like support groups like weight watchers usedto do. You know how, I
used to you go on the programthat youn go meet once a week or
whatever and just discuss your trials,tripulation, successes, failures, all that
(16:02):
kind of stuff. I always didassume those were for hookups strictly. Uh
see, I'm I'm gonna say thingsthat are gonna get me in trouble and
I don't want to do that,okay, sorry, No. I definitely
looked better at the end of it, and I would probably be somebody that
that people would want to hook upwith at the end, but certainly out
of the communing, all right.But I think that there were people that
were in a control group who justthey just were told to go on a
(16:26):
diet and and see how much weightthey lost. So my group, I
was on the phone group. Inever I didn't have to go in everything,
which was great, and I losta decent amount of weight and it
was successful and all that other stuff. But I think there were people that
didn't have anything were just said,why don't you try dieting on your own
and see how it goes. AndI thought that sucks being in that control
group because I was getting free food, I was getting the support, I
(16:48):
was getting, uh, you know, counseling for you know, what are
you facing with you all this stuffI was in. And then I thought,
there's these other people that wanted tolose weight. They joined a research
study, and what's up happening isthey're just kind of set out on their
own and they say, can youjust come back and weigh in once a
month. Yeah, they're just likesink or swim tubby. You're on your
own right. But the thing isis that before they got involved in the
(17:11):
group, they were in this exactsame situation. So big part of the
control group always sucks. Always.You never want to be a part of
the control ever, unless, ofcourse, you're testing some drug that you
know, rows odd limbs or somethinglike that. I'm bizarre. The Supreme
Court is in the headlines because theyare dropping all kinds of opinions. We
(17:33):
are expecting more to pop out tomorrow. I'll tell you what the high profile
ones are that are left and whythe Supreme Court is all about showmanship.
That is next. I'm Chris Merrilland from O Kelly I am six quarter
Relive everywhere in your iHeartRadio app you'relistening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
from KFI AM six forty. Itis Supreme Court Opinion Season. I love
(17:56):
Supreme Court Opinion Season. I swearto I love it so hard because cases
that make it to the Supreme Courtare usually tough ones. They challenge the
Constitution in a way that hasn't beenchallenged before, or they validate decisions that
have been decided before. The onething that the Supreme Court is doing us
(18:21):
a little bit different than previous Supremecourts is that they're not giving the same
amount of deference to precedent. Obviously, Roe v. Wade being overturned means
that they looked at precedent for yearspast and they said no, that no
longer applies. So there are somecases that the Supreme Court undoubtedly is going
to hear that that should already bedecided case import they get to accept it.
(18:48):
But the ACLU is challenging this lawthat has just passed in Louisiana.
So, Louisiana passes this law thatsays that all publicly funded schools have to
post the ten Command in all ofthe classrooms from kindergarten through all of the
publicly funded universities. And they say, well, this is just a it's
a moral guideline from the original rulemaker posts. I think it was I
(19:15):
think it was John Oliver that pointedout that no, no, the Egyptians
were making rules well more then so. But nonetheless, what is curious about
this is that this has sort ofbeen challenged in Supreme Court numerous times Kentucky
had a law and again I believethis was pointed out on John Oliver's shown,
(19:38):
but it was a Kentucky law innineteen eighty that was very similar and
the courts back then said, no, you can't. This is an endorsement
of a religion. It's a publicendorsement of our religion. Louisiana said,
we are going to do it anyway. And why do they say it,
Well, that's because the court hasI don't want to say packed, I
(19:59):
think that's an overstate, but thecourt definitely has a very conservative ideological lean
now more conservative socially conservative than whatthey've had in the past, as evidence
by overturning over Wade and everything wouldcome since then. So if the Louisiana
law gets to the Supreme Court,will the Supreme Court find a way to
(20:19):
say that it is legal? Wesaw this a few years ago. There
was a case out of the stateof Washington where a coach was praying with
students on the football and the suppositionwas that if the coach is praying with
students and it's voluntary, what studentfor student athlete football player blughead wants to
(20:45):
wants to skip out on that optionalteam activity. The coach, being the
leader, may notice that you arenot participating in his prayer circle. And
if you're not participating, is helikely to give preferential treatment to those who
do participate? In other words,you are ingratiating yourself into his circle of
(21:08):
the influence, right, And sothat was challenged. It goes to the
courts, and the courts say,no, it's totally okay because you're not
compelled to participate. That's different thanwhat we've seen from other courts. Other
courts would have said, now,if you are a representative of the school,
you can't be endorsing anyone religion.And that's what we're seeing there in
(21:30):
State Washington. So is the courtlikely to also find that even though Louisiana
is quite specifically endorsing the Judaeo Christiantraditions at the Ten Commandments, are they
going to say, well, that'sall right because you don't have to read
the Ten Commandments even though they're goingto be posted in front of your face
(21:51):
everywhere you go. We don't knowhow the sportsman Louisiana has decided that they
are going to take a shot atthem. So that's what they're doing.
And so as we look at thesedifferent decisions that are coming from the Supreme
Court, we are kind of tryingto read the tea leaves as to how
they may rule for future cases.And there are some coming up in the
(22:15):
future here that that I think aregoing to have a sizeable impact to not
a large number of people, butsort of the direction that the country goes
when it comes to accepting people ofdifferent social ilk. For instance, the
(22:37):
Supreme Court is set to hear achallenge they announced this last week that will
challenge the Tennessee law that bans transitioncare for minors. So, in the
state of Tennessee, if you haveyoung people who say that they are not
identifying as their birth gender and theywant to start, for instance, mormonal
(22:57):
therapy or even a counseling, thatthey would be prohibited from doing. So,
I know what happens as a lotof people read into this and they
say, oh, no, thatjust bans surgery without the parents' permission.
And you've probably seen memes about thisabout how well, you can't rent the
car, you can't vote, youcan't buy cigarettes, you can't buy alcohol,
(23:18):
but you even lop off your peniswithout your parents' permission when you're thirteen
years old. No, you can't. There's no state that says, sure,
just pop on in for transition surgery. We're happy to do it for
you. And mostly that's because thirteenyear olds don't have the money to pay
for it. But I'm joking.No, you definitely have to have parental
permission, but your modal treatment canstart at a younger age with parental consent
(23:42):
and of course through psychological counseling andthis sort of thing that goes into it.
Tennessee has said Nope, none ofthat, so that's been challenged going
to the Supreme Court. The SupremeCourt will have to decide whether or not
somebody who's under the age of eighteen, with parental consent or whatever else is
going on here, will have theability to to go through that transition.
(24:02):
The outcome of that will will bemore about parental rights than it is about
transitioning. King It's this is aparental It's going to be portrayed as an
LGBTQ case, but it really isa parental rights case. It's a rights
(24:22):
case for people under the age ofeighteen. It's a parental rights case.
And suppose I'm a parent and Ihave dealt with my kid going through puberty,
and my child, from a veryyoung age has not identified with their
birth gender. And as a parent, I know something's not right, and
I take them to a psychologist andthe psychologist agrees that now they are they're
(24:45):
misgendered basically right. And I knowthis is a relatively new science, especially
it's new to acceptance for a lotof them. So let's suppose that I,
as a parent, then go toa doctor and the doctor says,
okay, I'm evaluating, and thepsychologist is a valuator, and he,
as a paredes is the value andthe and the patient themselves say that they're
being misgendered. Can we start hormonaltreatment? And Tennessee is saying no,
(25:07):
But as a parent, I go, I think this is what's best for
my kid. So is that it'snot necessarily LGBTQ plus rights, even though
that is the vehicle being used toset a Supreme Court, it's more of
a parental rights case anyway, asthe as the verdicts come out this you
know this, the verdicts were comingout this week, and we start to
(25:27):
get a little bit of insight intothese Justices. It gives us an ability
to get out our crystal ball andsuppose how they're going to opine on some
of these future cases. All right, that's enough. I just love Supreme
Court stuff because it's never what itseems, and it's always there's always two
legitimate arguments to most every case thatmakes it from of the Supreme Court.
(25:48):
And I I geek out on it, all right, I Chris Merril k
if I am sexporting your life everywherein your iHeartRadio app. You're listening to
Later with Moe Kelly on demand fromKFI AM six forty. Remember you're gonna
be able to hear the CNN presidentialdebate tomorrow at six pm on CNN and

rambled about whatever we just heard.So that you got that going for you.
I know you're looking forward to it, Mark, if you don't mind
it Thursday, not tomorrow, Tomorrow'sWednesday. Oh I'm sorry, I got
my days all messed up. Yeah, yeaheah, you're right, dang,
I was thinking we had the shortshow tomorrow Thursday. Well, the week's
(26:33):
flying by so fast. You couldblame it. I know, I ain't
that a border. Okay, SoThursday, yeah, okay, Thursday,
six pm, very good CNN PresidentialDebate. I don't really thought it was
Wednesday. Oh my head is allscrewed up. Well, we all lose
a day here and there. Iknow, I was thinking about the Supreme
Court cases, and you see thatthey changed their schedule, so they're going
(26:53):
to do releases on Wednesday and Thursdayand Friday. So I, for whatever
reason, I had my mind todayit was Wednesday and we were going to
released since Thursday. Whatever, itdoesn't matter. What do you have?
Oh, I do a segment whenI do the Sunday Show. Please feel
free to join me Sunday afternoons.I'm campfind is called La Law, and
(27:14):
I take a look at the lawmakers, the lawbreakers, and the times that
there ought to be a law.Basically, I just sound like a crash
of the old man complaining about thekids these days, the laws they break
and why they all do it.For TikTok Cloud. One of the stories
that is popping up has everything todo with the You remember the incident from
a few weeks ago where deputies excuseme not deputies that would be Shrif's department.
(27:37):
Officers from Burbank picked up a homelessguy and they took him just over
into the city limits of Los Angeles, right out in front of one of
the council member's office, the president, Paul Grecorian, and they just dropped
the homeless person off and then theydrove away. So cops taking almost person
(28:00):
and dropping them in Los Angeles andthen driving off. So that obviously has
created a bit of a stirt.And so now the LA City Council is
demanding answers and accountability for Burbank officials. Not if you remember this the details
of the story, but the waythat Burbank explained it when when the video
(28:22):
was first released was odd Corecrean says, the Burbank police department putting this man
in handcuffs and taking him to thecity of Los Angeles where someone else will
deal with it. And obviously thisis a callous pool and then humane,
also fundamentally irresponsible. So Burbank saidthat officers were initially called to the hospital
(28:48):
for reports of a naked man ata bus stop. They sit, so
obviously the guy's got some mental illnessissues, right, they see The man
eventually got dressed, got into thepatrol vehicle and asked to be dropped off
in the North Hollywood area. Thedepartment says they're conducting an in depth investigation.
Here is the state. I lovethis. This this is the best.
I mean, this sounds like melying to my parents and making up
(29:14):
the most convoluted concoction of garbage inorder for my parents. Maybe they'll believe
this one. So here's what theysaid. As the individual did not appear
to have transportation, and to gaincooperation for the individual to put on cloathing,
the officers offered to drive the individualto a place of his choosing.
Okay, Vegas. Oh no,now Vegas. You'll just take him into
(29:37):
LA's pot. Okay great. Thestatements from the police went on to say,
initially the individual was asked to betaken to Sunlan and ultimately agree to
be transported to the Metro red Linein North Hollywood. He voluntarily got into
the patrol vehicle and was driven towardthe Metro red Line station. Along the
way, the individual asked to beled out of the patrol vehicle to get
coffee. The officers complied immediately withhis request. Over and let the individual
(30:00):
out of the patrol vehicle in thefifty two hundred block of Lancasham Boulevard.
The Burbank Police Department remains committed totreating the unhouse community with compassion and respect
and thanks Los Angeles City Council PresidentPaul Krane for bringing this matter to our
attention. The police did not addresswhy the man was in handcuffs. Okay,
so to get this, here's whythis doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
(30:26):
Suppose that you are just smashed outof your corn. You went to a
house party and you are smashed.You don't want to drive your vehicle.
You don't want to drive, andso you decide you're going to stumble now
in your drunken stupor you forgot thatyou live six and a half miles away,
(30:47):
because you think I'll just walked.It's fine, it's just takeing me
a little lone and I'll get thereand where there's fine. So then you
start stumbling down the road. Acruiser pulls up and sees you trying to
walk a straight line on a sideand it's not going very well. So
the cruiser pulls over, checks onyour your well being, right, okay,
so far. So the cruiser says, what are you doing. You
go, I'm going home. Andthe officer say, how much have you
(31:11):
had to drink tonight? You go, I just had a couple of beers.
I'm fine, And they go,oh, okay, well listen,
we're a little bit concerned for yoursafety. Everybody's flying so far right,
And you go, no, no, no, no, no, I'm
I'm I'm I'm just I just liveup there around the city and I'm just
gonna I'm fine. And they say, you know what we're gonna do.
(31:33):
We're gonna wake here with you andwe're going to contact somebody to come get
you. That's where the story deviatesfrom what we're seeing from the police.
Excuse you. The police don't say, well, why don't you put on
these handcuffs, jump on end,and we'll take you wherever you want to
go. You see the police say, let's get somebody to come pick you
(31:55):
up. In fact, if youare a passenger, let's say you've had
a few to drink, and you'rea passenger in a car and the drivers
had a few to drink and yougo out. Your driver says, I'll
give your ride home I'm I'm soberto drive and find and they get pulled
over for drinking and driving. Thepolice will say, let's do a test,
and then they go, you you'redrinking. We're going to take you
(32:17):
in right to U irens. Inthe meantime, you're a passenger, you
haven't done anything wrong, and thepolice say, you know what, we're
gonna wait here with you. Thecar is going to be towed, we're
going to make sure you get homesafely. We'll wait while you call somebody.
It's not like they're saying, oh, you know what we are,
We're we're Boo Burbank's finus uber.That's not happening. And certainly they don't
(32:42):
say. You don't say, hey, listen, if you're gonna give me
a ride home, can I justput on some handcuffs? Does those look
fun? Nope, it doesn't happen. So the story about, well,
they wanted to ride, so wethought we'd give him a ride anywhere he
wanted to go, and he justhappened to want to go somewhere not in
Burbank, and so we threw somecuffs on him, and he wanted to
stop and get coffee, so wethought, sure, coffee sounds great.
(33:06):
It doesn't make any certense. Itdoesn't make sense at all. So I'm
not buying. I can tell youbuy it. As a reporter, if
outfits investigate themselves, they have aweird tendency to exonerate themselves. Have you
noticed this? That's bizarre. Thatis like when I'm a teenager and my
parents think I'm lying and they say, why don't you tell us if you're
(33:27):
lying? And I go, Nope, I'm not, and they go,
good enough, bras, yep,move on, yep, everything seems fine
here he said he wasn't lying.What can I do but believe him.
Let's just gratitude. And by theway, you get quicker service in Starbucks
if you're cuffed. Yeah, I'mnot buying, not buying it at at
all. Chris Maryland from O'Kelly kIF I am supported. We're live everywhere
