(01:04):
in the world what may not be lax, what might
be Heathrow Airports Heathrow in London. It's considered one of
the world's best airports though in terms of just services
and well. I went through there once and it was madness.
It was really complete insanity. Yeah. The only thing I
(01:25):
remember going through there, the last thing we went through
with the questions, because I went through there and twenty
nineteen and or twenty thirteen. Anyway, they were they interview
you just to see what you know, why why you're here,
and they ask you a little questions very politely. Of
course they're very on alert for terrorism possible. We were
changing planes, so you had to pick up your luggage
(01:46):
and then you had to, you know, go off to
the next plane to another country. And there was just
such crowds, just enormous crowds, enormously long lines, baggage every where.
Let's bring on Alex Stone for the latest. The whole
thing with the airlines, and apparently they're doing okay money wise.
(02:08):
I don't think everybody gets interviewed when they landed Heathrow.
But when you land, they go, uh, here's kenda a
couple of questions for this bozo. Let's let's find out
what he's all about. I don't know, I've never gotten questions.
But anyway, so yeah, flying, we know horrendous multiple airlines
fourth of July. Before that, airports, airlines overwhelmed trying to
(02:28):
too many flights squeezed in there, too few airplanes, too
few pilots, too few runways. Things have been really bad
and people to find themselves stranded at the airports. And
it would seem like the airlines aren't doing very well.
But despite all of that, the airlines are making money
hand over fist and bringing in money like never before.
Delta Airlines out with its new earnings and guys, how
(02:51):
much did they make in Q two? How much? Thirteen
billion dollars was their revenue seven hundred thirty million in
actual earnings, and they put it like this, Executives landed out,
we generated a twelve point three billion of revenue in
the June quarter and achieved a total unit revenue that
was twenty point five percent higher than two Q twenty nineteen.
(03:13):
All right, all that gobbling goop there, So yeah, twelve
point three billion, and then that is twenty percent higher
than twenty nineteen. They ignore twenty twenty and twenty twenty one.
Everything now goes back pre pandemic and Deltas saying they've
never seen demand like this before, that passengers are willing
to pay for every upgrade in the book, that companies
(03:34):
are returning to corporate travel again. They're putting their workers
up in first class and it's all money that it's
not where they say, so, John, you're going to New York,
you want to upgrade for nine hundred dollars. This is
walking in booking it at the beginning, saying I want
Delta one or comforting. People have a lot of miles
(03:55):
and they're willing, Well, this is money that they're looking
at right now, but they are willing to put that money.
People want to travel and they want to do it
in style right now. And Ed Bastien, CEO of Delta, saying,
our revenues are far more diversified, with much larger contributions
from our premium product offerings and high margin loyalty business.
Premium product that is upgrading, that is going for more
leg room, that is clubs. That is everything there, and well,
(04:19):
you know what what they've done is made the conditions.
If you sit in economy, so there I getting whipped.
You got to go up twenty or thirty dollars just
to get two inches of leg room. Yeah, because on
Southwest and you pay like fifty bucks just to board earlier,
you're not going to get a better seat. But maybe
you'll board. See you can get your bag in the open,
which infuriates me. Yeah, there's no overhead baggage room if
(04:43):
you're you board late on the plane. Yeah, if you
get a C boarding Padell, good luck. Yeah, you get
you get upgrade if you want to. You want to
get your bag and you get stuffed in a narrow
seat no leg room, and then mister three hundred pound
guy is sitting next to you And I had that
the other day. That's right open row. Yeah, you know
somebody who took up a lot of the seat next
to me, and there were a lot of others. Double
(05:05):
ballet starts lopping over your arm rest. Yeah. But they
say people are coming in right now, they're ready to
spend their money, they're ready to book. But at the
same time, it has been so bad that they're having
to apologize of we're taking your money, but we may
not get you there, and yeah, not that you'll have
an answer necessarily, But this is this is simple math.
You know how many people have booked to flight, you
(05:27):
know how many planes you've scheduled, and then you find
out you don't have enough pilots, you don't have enough
flight attendants, you don't have enough planes for all people.
People are asking the same thing, How does that happen?
It's yeah, it's just simple math. Well, the pilots are
saying that the airlines are doing pie in the sky,
like if everything worked perfectly, that then we would do this,
(05:48):
and people call out sick, they go on vacation, they're
they're not around and then it doesn't work out, or
that they thought that they would have more pilots hired
by then and then they don't have it. And so yeah,
it's the pilots will tell you bad planning. The airlines
blame not enough pilots, They blame air trafic control or
taking they paid a record number of retirement buyouts to
(06:10):
the pilot. Yeah, well yeah, they're trying a year ago
to get them to leave. But and they used our
tax money for that, and now they're complaining the pilots
won't buy airline bailout. That money now gone and they're
making a lot. But yeah, here's the apology. You had
to do well. The demand and revenue landscape is the
best we've seen. The operational environment for the entire industry
remains uniquely challenged. I'd like to sincerely apologize to those
(06:33):
who have been impacted by cancelations, delays and long way
times over to the last two months. So thank you
for upgrading and spending a lot of money, but we
may not have gotten you there, and we're going to
do better on that. But so they're not yet seeing,
he says, a pullback in demand with inflation and with
the markets people want to travel. By twenty twenty four,
(06:54):
they predict sixty six zero percent of their revenue will
be premium product, upgrade and non ticket revenue. So pretty amazing.
Back what twenty thirty years ago, you paid for the ticket,
that's pretty much all it was. But now with your
real seat, Yeah, you have a paper, a bag, Do
you want internet? Do you want to upgrade? That is
worth their money? Now give you a half a seat
(07:15):
and then you got to pay extra for a real seat. Yep. Oh,
it's infuriating. Do you know much about the situation? Did
he throw? They? Yeah? Well how are they How are
they limiting the number of passengers? Yeah, when they're doing
a lot of the European airports are doing it now.
They are overwhelmed. They have our problems, but even more
of labor, and now bags are piled up and it's
gotten really bad. So the airports are saying, all right,
(07:38):
only this many people can go through the airport in
a day. So airlines are having to cancel flights because
they're over those numbers, and luggage is checked in. It's
they don't know where it's gonna go. Airlines are cutting flights.
Pat She came back from Paris two weeks ago, still
no bag. It was a mess, thousands of pieces of
unclaimed luggage everywhere, just all over the charm out. Yeah,
(08:01):
just all over the airport, she says. And Delta this week,
speaking a Delta, they had a flight that was told
you can't go, you have too many passengers coming into
the airport, and so they said fine. They flew an
empty eight three thirty wide body full of luggage, only
to get it back to the US and they chartered
that London to Detroit only moving bags because they said
(08:22):
the bags are it's a mess over there, and they
could give them out that way. I wonder what happens
because it fell apart and too again. Airline's booking too many,
too many people saying they in Europe, they want to
go on vacation. American travelers, the testing requirements went away,
so you had this boom in international travel. It's been bad.
(08:44):
One more for you, Emmy Frank she hasn't had her
bag in a month. Every day that I check it
says that it is being traced and to check back later.
I think by that point you go to your credit
card and you go that bag insurance, so you give me, yeah,
I want my money. Goodness, Yeah, another month negotiating that. Yeah,
(09:04):
well true, but the airports say that they're overwhelmed. The
airlines say they're dealing with it, but it's a mass,
all right, Alex, thank you very much for that Updre.
You gotta thanks guys. Alex Stone once again on the
travel nightmare and how the airlines are actually raking in
lots of money but people are still running into real problems.
With the cancelations, delays, and of course lost luggage and
(09:25):
passenger limits at some airports including Heathrow. Soon as we
come back, be listening for the keyword that you can
just enter at the website kaf I am sixty dot
com for a chance of a thousand dollars Johnny can cafine.
All right, we're gonna look into We're gonna interrogate Steve
Gregory from KFIN News at five oh five about the
possibility that the indoor mask mandate is returning to La
(09:47):
County from the La County Health Director Barbara Ferrare. And
I don't know, John, if you picked up the statistical nugget,
but it's forty two percent of people that are hospitalized
that have COVID nineteen that are actually hospitalized for COVID
ninete complications. So that's what i'd read a couple of
days ago, roughly a sixty forty split. So when you're
hear a hospitization number, that doesn't mean they're all in
(10:08):
there because they have COVID problems. It's a fake number
that the media and the officials used to scare you.
People are all lots of people are walking around with
the COVID virus inside them. They don't know it and
you don't know it because it's asymptomatic. Much of the
time after four thirty will be with Daniel gust the
Gusts Report. He really has the inside track on all
(10:29):
things happening with the LA government. And this is about
the overcrowding crisis at the City of Los Angeles animal shelters,
a big story today, and they also going to do times.
It's a it's a heart tugger. Yeah, for all dogs
that aren't walk. They're stuck in cages. They're jumping up
in the air, just trying to get out of there.
All the tax money we have, they don't pay anybody
to walk the dogs. Sure there's workers there, but I
(10:51):
don't know that they walk the dogs. I just read
that there's volunteers that do well. You pay people, you'll
solve the problem. We tax. There's surpluses all over the place.
Some of this is at the doorstep of the LA
City councilman with the chin bag, Paul Corats, who's on
his way out. He's running for city controller and I
(11:12):
don't think he's going to win that, so good, then
he should be out of government for the rest of
his life. He's had a lot of people die in
his district from all the homelessness he allows, so of
course he doesn't provide money to walk the dogs. The
update this afternoon on the death of Donald Trump's former wife,
(11:32):
Vanna Trump, seventy three years old. The report this afternoon.
She was discovered at the bottom of a staircase in
her home on East sixty fourth Street in Manhattan at
about twelve forty pm. They believe she suffered cardiac arrest.
They have not determined the official cause of death. They
(11:53):
were called to her home for a wellness check, so
it's not clear who made that call to check on
Avanna Trump, but that's why police found her. So we
don't know how long she had been lying there dead.
Maybe she didn't show up somewhere. I thought there was
somebody in the house that called because she was in
cardiac arrest. But it sounds like somebody said, my mother
(12:15):
or my friend is not answering the phone, could you
go check on. The last photo they have of her
is from June twenty second walk in the streets and
she has an attendant holding her arm, oh is that right,
and guiding her Yeah, Oh, I didn't see that photo.
I saw one from last year where she looked fine
at some event. No, she looked a little frail. Frayle
(12:35):
I guess is a good word. But she definitely had
somebody holding her arm and guiding her down the sidewalk.
Seventy three is not that old, but maybe she was.
A family has been shock at her death, so it
doesn't sound like they thought she was, you know, on
her way out. Otherwise it would have been closer around
her more. One of her friends is Nicky Haskell, who
does she have a caretaker? Then in the apartment, it
would have found her sooner. Yeah, I know, That's why
(12:57):
I wondered the wellness check. I was curious about that
particular description. Nicky Haskell is one of her friends. She's
been a cable TV interviewer in New York and is
claiming that they were She was about to go on
a trip, her first trip since COVID hit. That she
was terrified of getting COVID and she was locked up
for the last two plus years, and she was finally
(13:19):
starting to get around and was going to go I
forget where, to Europe or something. She had a big
trip planned, so We do not know that she had
any cardiac problems, any heart problems, any history. I haven't
seen that in all the early stories. No. I what
I read was is she was planning her first big
trip in three years. Yeah, all right. Well, you know,
(13:39):
if you're in public life, one of the rules sort
of is if you get trolled, if you get harassed,
you really just have to ignore the person doing it,
because if you have some kind of reaction, that's probably
what they want, is some kind of reaction. Why else
would they do it. There is described here by The
(14:00):
New York Post as a right wing instigator by the
name of Alex Stein, although I have on the audio
sheet here he's a Texas state delegate from District twelve.
I don't know what that means. What it said on
his Twitter bio. It's still okay. Eric says it said
that on his Twitter delicate to what I don't don't
see a politician could be some party, right, so I
(14:23):
write some state party. Anyway, He was in Washington, d C.
And he saw Alexandria Acasio Cortez AOC. We call her
occasional cortex. She's one of the mouthpieces of the far
left progressive wing of the Democrat Party. She was walking
up the Capitol steps and he decided to have a
(14:46):
little fun. Here is the audio, AOC, my favorite big
boody Latina. I love you as you're my favorite. She
went to kill babies that she's still beautiful. You look
very beautiful in that dress. You look very sexy. Look
at that booty on AOC. That's my favorite, big booty latina.
But I love it, my favorite AOC. Nice to meet
(15:07):
you as Look how sexy she looked in that dress. Oh,
I love it. AOC hot tot hot like a Themala.
The goofball was just looking for a reaction and he
got it. She turns and heads towards him. Yeah, she
wanted to be pulled back by an age. You should
see her eyes bold. She was ready to fight. She
(15:27):
wanted to punch him hot tot hot like a themal is.
This is this is now what you would do, Deborah Mark?
Would you go right after the guy that made comments
like that about you? I don't know what I would
do and punch him in the knee? Probably not, But
I didn't you say one time years ago you got
some sort of yes. Yeah, I thought you did say
that on the show. Yeah, I've had not the old
(15:49):
whistle thing, was it? Well, yes, people, yes, guys do
that all I still do. Whoo whoo. I just sit
there and really, I mean, what's the point of that.
I'm gonna stop, Mike. I'm going to get off the freeway. Hi,
I understand that. Just they're vocalizing their appreciation. Oh there,
(16:10):
it is that thing. Not everybody gets that. And he
only did this to get her to look whether or
not he thought she was attractive as irrelevant, but he
just decided that he would take a shot at this
because he's kind of holding the camera like a selfie video.
It looks like maybe somebody's taking them right, you don't
respond to a moron. Plus he's got a camera. So
and what's funny about it is she actually posted a
(16:33):
message on Twitter about the encounter, but then she pulled
it down later saying, I don't want to give this
extremist any more attention. But it's the thing is she's
a complete narcissist, so the attention feeds into her narcissism.
So of course she's going to post about it because
it will bring more attention. And then somebody probably told
her don't do that if I don't really think she's
a true believer. But if you're one of these people
(16:54):
that does not like you know, the uh, the whole
movement about sexual harassment, I mean clearly what this is. Yeah,
also kind of racist. Well you know she's uh, he's
crazy and she's crazy too. I mean, he knows exactly
what kind of target to pick on because he knows
he's going to get a reaction. So this is this
(17:16):
is what people do all day and then they then
they film it, and then they put it online and
then everybody gets into arguments over it. Oh yeah, she
figured and stared them down and stood in front of him,
maybe slapped him. That would have been an even bigger
It's a real productive life everybody is experiencing, right, It's
really really useful. We talked about the day. It's all
about making videos, getting attention and getting likes, getting followers.
(17:37):
I look at those the NASA photos and I look
at all those planets way out there, and I wonder, Wow,
somewhere people aren't doing this. All right, It's one of
the day's heart tugging stories. It's a headline the ELSA
Good Times. It didn't you Mane. Dogs at the La
Animal Shelters go weeks or months without being walked. Now,
keep in mind these are La City run animal shelters,
(17:59):
which means the city government's involved. Paul Corretz is the
main person here. The city council member Eric Garcetti can't
run an animal shelter neither. Paul corrects. We'll be talking
to Daniel Gusts with a gust report from more on
this next John and Ken show tomorrow brings us back
to the Moist Line folks in the five o'clock hour,
So just drop us a message. The iHeartRadio app is
(18:21):
one way you can do it. The little microphone, leave
a message using that or call the toll free number
one eight seven seven Moist eighty six one eight seven
seven six six four seven eight eight six. Story today
broken the La Times that the city animal shelters are overburdened, overwhelmed.
(18:43):
They're not even walking their dogs. The dogs are going
crazy and they can go for a week, sometimes months
without getting any break an exercise outside in the kennel. Apparently,
with all the tax money we pay, there's nobody to pay.
There's no money to pay a dog walker. They rely
on volunteers, and apparently at the beginning of the pandemic
(19:06):
there wasn't a lot and the shelter is going on.
But now that people are returning to the real world,
they're starting to return some of these animals there has
been The city took him thirty percent more dogs through
May of this year than the same period last year.
Those of you who took a dog just for the
COVID lockdown and now you dumped them into a shelt there,
you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You are a bad,
(19:28):
bad person. Yes, let's get Daniel gush On from the
gush Report, who's got some information on all this. Dane,
how are you, gentlemen? Thank you for good thank you
for having me back. Well what's going on here? Well
let me tell you. You call him a shin bag.
I call him a bloated buffoon. Because nobody, nobody is
(19:50):
less surprised about this the story in the La Times
than Paul Carez. Paul Caretz has been told about this
problem and dozens of other problems at La Animal Services,
the city's animal pound, not not a shelter. Nobody has
been told more about this and other problems than Paul
(20:10):
corrects all right, now, just to explain that he does.
To explain, he's chair of the committee that oversees animal
issues for Los Angeles, right, he's the city councilman, and
so he gets all the complaints well, but he likes
to rig the system. Also, so city council, there's fifteen
council members and based on each of their skills, they
(20:32):
chair a committee. And the committee that Paul Corret's chairs
is called the Pause Committee PAWS, but that actually stands
for Personnel and Animal Welfare. There's there's no congruity between that.
It just happens to be called PAUSE, but it's for
personnel and animal Welfare. Oh and by the way, when
(20:53):
he decided to run for city controller, Nuri Martinez let
him add the word audits to it, toff for all
the public in the sinking that he's really good at audits.
That is literally the truth. He decided to run for
city controller and what the hell, let's add audits to
the Pause committee. So it's a fraud from day one,
(21:13):
starting with Garcetti, Herb Wesson and now Nouri Martinez a
city council president. So to clarify, yes, he oversees the
committee that's in charge of humane policy and the animal
pounds in the city of Los Angeles. But Corretz is
the ultimate the speed bump to slow down things. He's
(21:35):
the kind of guy who says, well, yeah, let's call
for let's call for a report to get back to
me in ninety days. Then the report, the report gets
what they call received and filed, which means it goes
into the shredder and then nothing is nothing is ever solved.
And I've known this man for seventeen years. He never
(21:58):
ever solves anything. He just takes the problems on so
that he can be seen as the guy you go
to when the problems. But even the La Times didn't
endorse him for city controller. They endorsed a guy by
the name of Kenneth Mahia, who I've reached out to
haven't earned back, and so so now they can't even
get the dogs out of the kennels, which by the way,
(22:21):
are crumbling. There. I have photos a great guy who
should be the next GM of Animal Services, guy by
the name of Paul de Rigo. He's there documenting the
problems in the pounds with collapsing walls, water doesn't work,
the animals look look like a look like a like prisoners,
(22:41):
you know, And so the animals can't even get bocked.
They don't they'll budget the money. Oh oh oh, let
me tell you something, John about budgeting the money. Paul
Correts squandered a million dollars in money that was donated
from people do in their wills. There's a fund called
(23:02):
the Animal Welfare Trust Fund. And this guy Pole corrects.
Instead of using that money to walk these animals who
probably won't ever get out of there, he decided to
take almost a million dollars and give it to an
unknown marketing firm called the Glue, without any known business location,
(23:25):
without any known employees, to rebuild the website and to
use that. By the way, I found that today they
used like ninety three thousand dollars to take photos, to
take photos for the new website. And what is the website.
The website's about the shelters. It's a website, you know,
(23:45):
where they supposedly post the photos of the animals. Hadn't
adopt a dog? Where to get three spain neuter and
things of that nature. And that's what they do every
ten years when there's a new mayor, where there's a
new general manager of Animal Services. What they do is, oh,
let's redo the website, because that will really change things
when you don't have a Spain neuter program. So Correct,
(24:07):
single handedly, as chair of this committee, took a million
dollars and gave it to this company called The Glue
with no background in fundraising, no background in website work,
no background in marketing, and really discernible place of business.
Absolutely Okay, well what's that connection? Well, you know, that's
(24:30):
a damn good question because the general manager, who I've
spoken about in the past, Brenda Barness, just happened to
retire around the time that this contract was being contract
excuse me, a no compete contract was done. And so
I don't think Paul Correct is going to be the
kind of god who's actually going to investigated. The other
choice for the people of Los Angeles a guy by
(24:50):
the name of Kennethy. He is running for city Council
and he has a bit of an activist of mentality
and he's the CPA. And mister Mahia, I am asking
you right here on the John ten Show to dig
in and find out what happened with that million dollars
and how did this company called the glue get nearly
a million dollars that should have been used for things
(25:11):
like walking the animals, and that should have been used
for fixing a dog's broken leg that Paul Dorigo was
trying to get out, How is this happening? Run galper
Run galper In and p pulk Retz are the are
the epitome of everything that's wrong in this city. And
it says, the reason why I get so fired up
(25:32):
about it is because those animals don't have anybody speaking
about him except for this guy, Thomas Kalinowski, who was
an employee of the Pound and he just had it.
Now he's working for some other pound facility and the
volunteers there, and every time a volunteer speaks up and
helps these voiceless animals, then get suspended and they get
fired and the commissioners that Garcetia points one of the
(25:57):
manager of a doctor's office, Daniel did this story quotes
in a net Ramirez you know much about her, the
interim general manager, and she said that the dogs aren't
walk for weeks or months because we have to rely
on volunteers to do this and we don't have enough. Well, well, yeah,
you know, I've known an Nette for twenty years. She
is an excellent animal control officer. She's an excellent animal
(26:18):
control officer. She is not the right person to be
interim GM. I happen to like her personally, She's not
the person who should be in that job. And from
what I understand, she doesn't want to become the permanent GM.
So yeah, she's aware of the problem. So where's the solution.
And this has nothing to do with the budget. The
million dollars was there, and the La Times knows about this.
(26:40):
So Dakota Smith is now writing some story about this.
It's like even the La Times can't deny this anymore.
So the money was there. It's not about budget a
net I like you, but it's not about the budget.
The money was there. I had all those you know,
elderly people who left money in their will to go
to the animal shelter to care for the dogs, and
(27:02):
the money may have gotten squandered and the dogs are
now losing their minds, trapped in cages, not being walked.
And there's a final quote from Larry Gross, president of
the Board of Animals Services Commissioners, said the city Council
should aw the cap funding for dog walkers, but they
don't do that. You know. Larry's also a great guy.
Larry is a very good guy who I have a
good line of communication with. He is an expert on
(27:26):
housing issues. He's an espert on housing issues. So why
is he president of the Animal Services Commission, Which, by
the way, I liked him in that role because at
least he's a guy who responds. At least he's a
guy who engages. He's a good man. He should be involved.
He's Los Angeles Housing Authority, not the Animal Services Commission
(27:47):
as his president. He's a good person as a as
a conduit. So so Larry is correct. Yeah, the money
shouldn't even be coming from the wills or the donations
from these elderly people or whoever donates money to this
animal welfare trust fund. So he's correct that, yes, city
(28:07):
council should budget that, but they don't, and then the
million dollars is missing. Here. By the way, of Dakota
Smith or David Zanezer want to contact me, I'll show
them an eighty nine page report that her Wesson, the
former City council president, commissioned from me. Commissioned from me
to show where all the problems are in Elie Animal
Services and instead of gauper in auditing it, they used
(28:31):
it as a blueprint of all of the areas at
Elie Animal Services to not audit. And when Wesson commissions
this report for me, it was him, me and one
of his flunkeys in his office on January third, twenty fourteen.
I'd remember that for a specific reason. He said, I'm
going to call for an audit and Paul Carrets will
(28:54):
second it quote unquote to give Correts cover. So the
fix has been in for years and years, if correct,
if Herb was and is commissioning a report on all
of these problems, the one in the Times today about
animals not being walked, and all of the other problems
broke in kennels, the very very dubious relationship the city
(29:15):
has with the Best Friends organization. By the way, there's
a story brewing there. All right, we gotta go because
we got a newsbreak. We gotta do Daniel great stuff.
I can't believe this amount of drama over dog walking.
It's just incredible. Yeah, and this amount of scandal, yeah,
tipp of the iceberg. There's more to come. Thank you
for giving me a platform to share it. All right,
(29:36):
thank you for coming on with it. All right, Daniel
Gust the Gust Report talking about the problems at the
LA Animal Services kennels where the dogs are not being walked,
and oh you see the detail in there that there's
mold in their food bowls and they have to crap
and sleep in the same places. You gotta do something,
you know, take action. Here's something that people can do
(29:56):
is stop buying those designer dogs and go to the
shelters and rescue a dog. That's my public service announcement
for the day. Pet yourself a mongrel. Yes, tell Ray? Yeah,
well I wasn't going to name him, but yeah, there's
somebody on the John and Ken Show who wants a
dog and that's what he needs. Oh he wants a
(30:18):
designer dog. Yeah he does, yes, okay, Oh I know
what kind of dog he likes. Yeah, alright, More we
need to find Ray a mutt from a shelter. Oh,
he's had those two. More coming up, John and Ken
Shine to coming up next hour. There is another chance
for you to win money. A thousand dollars is up
for grabs with the keyword that all you have to
do is enter it at the website that'll come up
(30:40):
around five twenty. We'll begin the hour with Steve Gregory
from KFEINE News and the word from the La County
Health Department today that we may be going back to
indoor mask mandates because of the rising number of cases
and hospitalizations. But there's a lot to talk about there,
because it's all very deceptive. It's someone trying to create
a anak when for the rest of us there is
(31:03):
no panic and it's silly, and we're the only ones
doing this, aren't we. I don't think there's anybody else,
even in the state, is doing indoor mask mandates. No,
there was just that one. What was it, Santa County? Yeah,
I forget which, Santa Clark excuse me, Santa Clara County.
I think. Okay, I just didn't have a hecup. Okay,
sounded like you were choking to death. No, No, it's
(31:23):
just and I have to send him Deborah for a
welfare check. I'm like maneuver. Also a reminder that there
is a fundraiser going on it go fund me for
a man by the name of Jason Harold. He was
one of the victims of the seven to eleven robber.
This happened in Riverside early Monday morning. Jason was just
(31:43):
going there about one in the morning to get cigarettes
or something, walked from his home to the seven to
eleven and he was shot, either by the shooter entering
or exiting the store, We're not sure, but shot a
close range. Terrible wound which is affecting him. He made paralyzed.
The family's got to go fund me listeners have really
(32:03):
stepped up already. You can find the link at KFI
a M six forty dot com, the John and Ken page.
It's right there clearly, just go there and donate whatever
you can. And we talked to his father, Steve Paul.
We're going to replay that interview because it's important you
hear it coming up after the news at five thirty
(32:24):
and so far KFI listeners have come through. They have
donated almost six thousand dollars in just an hour and
a half. Wow, so they've been very generous. So please
keep it coming and listen to the interview. I guess
it's really really, really awful what California politicians have allowed
(32:47):
our daily life to have become. Yeah, and if you
want to another listener made us aware there is a
man by the name of Matthew Hirsch. He was working
in the seven eleven store in Brea and he was murdered.
And they're also doing a fundraiser for him, and they're
doing pretty well. They have a twenty five thousand dollars goal.
They've already raised nearly eighteen thousand dollars. But this says,
(33:09):
you know, this seven to eleven robber killed two and
wounded several other people, including the man we've been talking about.
But apparently people are also trying to help out the
family of Matthew Hirsch. Yeah, do what you can. This
crazed gunman has done a lot of damage. It brought
a lot of suffering to some families here in southern California.
(33:30):
All right, well, let's spend a moment talking about a
man who is the city treasurer of Oceanside, California. His
name is Victor Roy. I can't believe the story. He's
seventy three. All right, that's important you hear his age,
because apparently the branch manager at the Mission Branch Library
(33:50):
in Oceanside said that he went in there on a
Saturday afternoon and he was looking at nudes on the
computer and then he started to download the images onto
a flash draw. I mean, what kind of a all right,
I have many questions. Well, first of all, looking at
his picture, Yeah, what has he got he's got He's
(34:11):
got the molestash, He's got the molester mustache. That gold
had a little short mustache. Well, boy, they all have that,
don't they. And that's got to be a signal. It's
got to be a signal to the other guys. I'm
one of you. Go off. The report said he was
looking at magazines that when he clicked on the cover,
the images inside the magazine were full nudity. Now I
(34:35):
have another question. They want him to resign, By the way,
city council members think he should go. Why was he
not doing this at home? Why would you why? I said,
I can't believe this story. Why would you go? Is
there a thrill to doing it the library? Does he
not have a computer that can do this at home?
Or does he live with somebody who might see him.
You can sit in your car and do it on
(34:55):
the phone or your iPad. Oh but the phone small screen.
Appreciate the porn. You can't really get worked up to
a big monitor. By the way, what kind of porn?
Was it because that mustache makes me a very worried. Oh,
I don't know. Now I got another question. It says
our library computers do have filters, because I wondered this,
(35:16):
But no filters one hundred percent fool proof? What this
filter didn't work on nudes? Roy continues to be a
regular user of the library and a three sources. Okay,
now what seventy three year old guy is going to
the library regularly just to use the computer. This makes
no sense. He's up to no good. And I got
another question. They have let homeless people in forever, and
(35:38):
that's what they homeless people do in the libraries as
they call up porn in front of the children, and
the librarians would never enforce it. Now do they only
enforce it against housed people and the unhoused to get
away with all their perversity, says all. The incident reports
states that Roy was viewing nudity. There is no specific
(36:00):
mention of pornography, So if you want to differentiate the
seriousness of the two, you can just see, like a
nude picture of a woman, but pornography indicates there's probably
some sex going on. She wasn't engaged. That's what it
sounds like it was. He engaged in any self pleasure.
Does that soften the seriousness of this to you? There
was just a node image rather than actual sexual you
(36:21):
know content. You know, he's a creepy weirdo though. I
don't know why you would do this in the middle
of a library where clearly people can look over your shoulder,
and you're well known, and you're in the city treasurer,
what are you doing? He needs therapy? All right? Coming up, Decks,
we will interrogate Steve Gregory from KFI News. The latest
(36:42):
from the La County Health Department is we may be
going back to wearing masks and indoor public spaces. Good God,
John and Ken Show. Deborah Mark has the news KFI

(01:04):
in the world what may not be lax, what might
be Heathrow Airports Heathrow in London. It's considered one of
the world's best airports though in terms of just services
and well. I went through there once and it was madness.
It was really complete insanity. Yeah. The only thing I
(01:25):
remember going through there, the last thing we went through
with the questions, because I went through there and twenty
nineteen and or twenty thirteen. Anyway, they were they interview
you just to see what you know, why why you're here,
and they ask you a little questions very politely. Of
course they're very on alert for terrorism possible. We were
changing planes, so you had to pick up your luggage
(01:46):
and then you had to, you know, go off to
the next plane to another country. And there was just
such crowds, just enormous crowds, enormously long lines, baggage every where.
Let's bring on Alex Stone for the latest. The whole
thing with the airlines, and apparently they're doing okay money wise.
(02:08):
I don't think everybody gets interviewed when they landed Heathrow.
But when you land, they go, uh, here's kenda a
couple of questions for this bozo. Let's let's find out
what he's all about. I don't know, I've never gotten questions.
But anyway, so yeah, flying, we know horrendous multiple airlines
fourth of July. Before that, airports, airlines overwhelmed trying to
(02:28):
too many flights squeezed in there, too few airplanes, too
few pilots, too few runways. Things have been really bad
and people to find themselves stranded at the airports. And
it would seem like the airlines aren't doing very well.
But despite all of that, the airlines are making money
hand over fist and bringing in money like never before.
Delta Airlines out with its new earnings and guys, how
(02:51):
much did they make in Q two? How much? Thirteen
billion dollars was their revenue seven hundred thirty million in
actual earnings, and they put it like this, Executives landed out,
we generated a twelve point three billion of revenue in
the June quarter and achieved a total unit revenue that
was twenty point five percent higher than two Q twenty nineteen.
(03:13):
All right, all that gobbling goop there, So yeah, twelve
point three billion, and then that is twenty percent higher
than twenty nineteen. They ignore twenty twenty and twenty twenty one.
Everything now goes back pre pandemic and Deltas saying they've
never seen demand like this before, that passengers are willing
to pay for every upgrade in the book, that companies
(03:34):
are returning to corporate travel again. They're putting their workers
up in first class and it's all money that it's
not where they say, so, John, you're going to New York,
you want to upgrade for nine hundred dollars. This is
walking in booking it at the beginning, saying I want
Delta one or comforting. People have a lot of miles
(03:55):
and they're willing, Well, this is money that they're looking
at right now, but they are willing to put that money.
People want to travel and they want to do it
in style right now. And Ed Bastien, CEO of Delta, saying,
our revenues are far more diversified, with much larger contributions
from our premium product offerings and high margin loyalty business.
Premium product that is upgrading, that is going for more
leg room, that is clubs. That is everything there, and well,
(04:19):
you know what what they've done is made the conditions.
If you sit in economy, so there I getting whipped.
You got to go up twenty or thirty dollars just
to get two inches of leg room. Yeah, because on
Southwest and you pay like fifty bucks just to board earlier,
you're not going to get a better seat. But maybe
you'll board. See you can get your bag in the open,
which infuriates me. Yeah, there's no overhead baggage room if
(04:43):
you're you board late on the plane. Yeah, if you
get a C boarding Padell, good luck. Yeah, you get
you get upgrade if you want to. You want to
get your bag and you get stuffed in a narrow
seat no leg room, and then mister three hundred pound
guy is sitting next to you And I had that
the other day. That's right open row. Yeah, you know
somebody who took up a lot of the seat next
to me, and there were a lot of others. Double
(05:05):
ballet starts lopping over your arm rest. Yeah. But they
say people are coming in right now, they're ready to
spend their money, they're ready to book. But at the
same time, it has been so bad that they're having
to apologize of we're taking your money, but we may
not get you there, and yeah, not that you'll have
an answer necessarily, But this is this is simple math.
You know how many people have booked to flight, you
(05:27):
know how many planes you've scheduled, and then you find
out you don't have enough pilots, you don't have enough
flight attendants, you don't have enough planes for all people.
People are asking the same thing, How does that happen?
It's yeah, it's just simple math. Well, the pilots are
saying that the airlines are doing pie in the sky,
like if everything worked perfectly, that then we would do this,
(05:48):
and people call out sick, they go on vacation, they're
they're not around and then it doesn't work out, or
that they thought that they would have more pilots hired
by then and then they don't have it. And so yeah,
it's the pilots will tell you bad planning. The airlines
blame not enough pilots, They blame air trafic control or
taking they paid a record number of retirement buyouts to
(06:10):
the pilot. Yeah, well yeah, they're trying a year ago
to get them to leave. But and they used our
tax money for that, and now they're complaining the pilots
won't buy airline bailout. That money now gone and they're
making a lot. But yeah, here's the apology. You had
to do well. The demand and revenue landscape is the
best we've seen. The operational environment for the entire industry
remains uniquely challenged. I'd like to sincerely apologize to those
(06:33):
who have been impacted by cancelations, delays and long way
times over to the last two months. So thank you
for upgrading and spending a lot of money, but we
may not have gotten you there, and we're going to
do better on that. But so they're not yet seeing,
he says, a pullback in demand with inflation and with
the markets people want to travel. By twenty twenty four,
(06:54):
they predict sixty six zero percent of their revenue will
be premium product, upgrade and non ticket revenue. So pretty amazing.
Back what twenty thirty years ago, you paid for the ticket,
that's pretty much all it was. But now with your
real seat, Yeah, you have a paper, a bag, Do
you want internet? Do you want to upgrade? That is
worth their money? Now give you a half a seat
(07:15):
and then you got to pay extra for a real seat. Yep. Oh,
it's infuriating. Do you know much about the situation? Did
he throw? They? Yeah? Well how are they How are
they limiting the number of passengers? Yeah, when they're doing
a lot of the European airports are doing it now.
They are overwhelmed. They have our problems, but even more
of labor, and now bags are piled up and it's
gotten really bad. So the airports are saying, all right,
(07:38):
only this many people can go through the airport in
a day. So airlines are having to cancel flights because
they're over those numbers, and luggage is checked in. It's
they don't know where it's gonna go. Airlines are cutting flights.
Pat She came back from Paris two weeks ago, still
no bag. It was a mess, thousands of pieces of
unclaimed luggage everywhere, just all over the charm out. Yeah,
(08:01):
just all over the airport, she says. And Delta this week,
speaking a Delta, they had a flight that was told
you can't go, you have too many passengers coming into
the airport, and so they said fine. They flew an
empty eight three thirty wide body full of luggage, only
to get it back to the US and they chartered
that London to Detroit only moving bags because they said
(08:22):
the bags are it's a mess over there, and they
could give them out that way. I wonder what happens
because it fell apart and too again. Airline's booking too many,
too many people saying they in Europe, they want to
go on vacation. American travelers, the testing requirements went away,
so you had this boom in international travel. It's been bad.
(08:44):
One more for you, Emmy Frank she hasn't had her
bag in a month. Every day that I check it
says that it is being traced and to check back later.
I think by that point you go to your credit
card and you go that bag insurance, so you give me, yeah,
I want my money. Goodness, Yeah, another month negotiating that. Yeah,
(09:04):
well true, but the airports say that they're overwhelmed. The
airlines say they're dealing with it, but it's a mass,
all right, Alex, thank you very much for that Updre.
You gotta thanks guys. Alex Stone once again on the
travel nightmare and how the airlines are actually raking in
lots of money but people are still running into real problems.
With the cancelations, delays, and of course lost luggage and
(09:25):
passenger limits at some airports including Heathrow. Soon as we
come back, be listening for the keyword that you can
just enter at the website kaf I am sixty dot
com for a chance of a thousand dollars Johnny can cafine.
All right, we're gonna look into We're gonna interrogate Steve
Gregory from KFIN News at five oh five about the
possibility that the indoor mask mandate is returning to La
(09:47):
County from the La County Health Director Barbara Ferrare. And
I don't know, John, if you picked up the statistical nugget,
but it's forty two percent of people that are hospitalized
that have COVID nineteen that are actually hospitalized for COVID
ninete complications. So that's what i'd read a couple of
days ago, roughly a sixty forty split. So when you're
hear a hospitization number, that doesn't mean they're all in
(10:08):
there because they have COVID problems. It's a fake number
that the media and the officials used to scare you.
People are all lots of people are walking around with
the COVID virus inside them. They don't know it and
you don't know it because it's asymptomatic. Much of the
time after four thirty will be with Daniel gust the
Gusts Report. He really has the inside track on all
(10:29):
things happening with the LA government. And this is about
the overcrowding crisis at the City of Los Angeles animal shelters,
a big story today, and they also going to do times.
It's a it's a heart tugger. Yeah, for all dogs
that aren't walk. They're stuck in cages. They're jumping up
in the air, just trying to get out of there.
All the tax money we have, they don't pay anybody
to walk the dogs. Sure there's workers there, but I
(10:51):
don't know that they walk the dogs. I just read
that there's volunteers that do well. You pay people, you'll
solve the problem. We tax. There's surpluses all over the place.
Some of this is at the doorstep of the LA
City councilman with the chin bag, Paul Corats, who's on
his way out. He's running for city controller and I
(11:12):
don't think he's going to win that, so good, then
he should be out of government for the rest of
his life. He's had a lot of people die in
his district from all the homelessness he allows, so of
course he doesn't provide money to walk the dogs. The
update this afternoon on the death of Donald Trump's former wife,
(11:32):
Vanna Trump, seventy three years old. The report this afternoon.
She was discovered at the bottom of a staircase in
her home on East sixty fourth Street in Manhattan at
about twelve forty pm. They believe she suffered cardiac arrest.
They have not determined the official cause of death. They
(11:53):
were called to her home for a wellness check, so
it's not clear who made that call to check on
Avanna Trump, but that's why police found her. So we
don't know how long she had been lying there dead.
Maybe she didn't show up somewhere. I thought there was
somebody in the house that called because she was in
cardiac arrest. But it sounds like somebody said, my mother
(12:15):
or my friend is not answering the phone, could you
go check on. The last photo they have of her
is from June twenty second walk in the streets and
she has an attendant holding her arm, oh is that right,
and guiding her Yeah, Oh, I didn't see that photo.
I saw one from last year where she looked fine
at some event. No, she looked a little frail. Frayle
(12:35):
I guess is a good word. But she definitely had
somebody holding her arm and guiding her down the sidewalk.
Seventy three is not that old, but maybe she was.
A family has been shock at her death, so it
doesn't sound like they thought she was, you know, on
her way out. Otherwise it would have been closer around
her more. One of her friends is Nicky Haskell, who
does she have a caretaker? Then in the apartment, it
would have found her sooner. Yeah, I know, That's why
(12:57):
I wondered the wellness check. I was curious about that
particular description. Nicky Haskell is one of her friends. She's
been a cable TV interviewer in New York and is
claiming that they were She was about to go on
a trip, her first trip since COVID hit. That she
was terrified of getting COVID and she was locked up
for the last two plus years, and she was finally
(13:19):
starting to get around and was going to go I
forget where, to Europe or something. She had a big
trip planned, so We do not know that she had
any cardiac problems, any heart problems, any history. I haven't
seen that in all the early stories. No. I what
I read was is she was planning her first big
trip in three years. Yeah, all right. Well, you know,
(13:39):
if you're in public life, one of the rules sort
of is if you get trolled, if you get harassed,
you really just have to ignore the person doing it,
because if you have some kind of reaction, that's probably
what they want, is some kind of reaction. Why else
would they do it. There is described here by The
(14:00):
New York Post as a right wing instigator by the
name of Alex Stein, although I have on the audio
sheet here he's a Texas state delegate from District twelve.
I don't know what that means. What it said on
his Twitter bio. It's still okay. Eric says it said
that on his Twitter delicate to what I don't don't
see a politician could be some party, right, so I
(14:23):
write some state party. Anyway, He was in Washington, d C.
And he saw Alexandria Acasio Cortez AOC. We call her
occasional cortex. She's one of the mouthpieces of the far
left progressive wing of the Democrat Party. She was walking
up the Capitol steps and he decided to have a
(14:46):
little fun. Here is the audio, AOC, my favorite big
boody Latina. I love you as you're my favorite. She
went to kill babies that she's still beautiful. You look
very beautiful in that dress. You look very sexy. Look
at that booty on AOC. That's my favorite, big booty latina.
But I love it, my favorite AOC. Nice to meet
(15:07):
you as Look how sexy she looked in that dress. Oh,
I love it. AOC hot tot hot like a Themala.
The goofball was just looking for a reaction and he
got it. She turns and heads towards him. Yeah, she
wanted to be pulled back by an age. You should
see her eyes bold. She was ready to fight. She
(15:27):
wanted to punch him hot tot hot like a themal is.
This is this is now what you would do, Deborah Mark?
Would you go right after the guy that made comments
like that about you? I don't know what I would
do and punch him in the knee? Probably not, But
I didn't you say one time years ago you got
some sort of yes. Yeah, I thought you did say
that on the show. Yeah, I've had not the old
(15:49):
whistle thing, was it? Well, yes, people, yes, guys do
that all I still do. Whoo whoo. I just sit
there and really, I mean, what's the point of that.
I'm gonna stop, Mike. I'm going to get off the freeway. Hi,
I understand that. Just they're vocalizing their appreciation. Oh there,
(16:10):
it is that thing. Not everybody gets that. And he
only did this to get her to look whether or
not he thought she was attractive as irrelevant, but he
just decided that he would take a shot at this
because he's kind of holding the camera like a selfie video.
It looks like maybe somebody's taking them right, you don't
respond to a moron. Plus he's got a camera. So
and what's funny about it is she actually posted a
(16:33):
message on Twitter about the encounter, but then she pulled
it down later saying, I don't want to give this
extremist any more attention. But it's the thing is she's
a complete narcissist, so the attention feeds into her narcissism.
So of course she's going to post about it because
it will bring more attention. And then somebody probably told
her don't do that if I don't really think she's
a true believer. But if you're one of these people
(16:54):
that does not like you know, the uh, the whole
movement about sexual harassment, I mean clearly what this is. Yeah,
also kind of racist. Well you know she's uh, he's
crazy and she's crazy too. I mean, he knows exactly
what kind of target to pick on because he knows
he's going to get a reaction. So this is this
(17:16):
is what people do all day and then they then
they film it, and then they put it online and
then everybody gets into arguments over it. Oh yeah, she
figured and stared them down and stood in front of him,
maybe slapped him. That would have been an even bigger
It's a real productive life everybody is experiencing, right, It's
really really useful. We talked about the day. It's all
about making videos, getting attention and getting likes, getting followers.
(17:37):
I look at those the NASA photos and I look
at all those planets way out there, and I wonder, Wow,
somewhere people aren't doing this. All right, It's one of
the day's heart tugging stories. It's a headline the ELSA
Good Times. It didn't you Mane. Dogs at the La
Animal Shelters go weeks or months without being walked. Now,
keep in mind these are La City run animal shelters,
(17:59):
which means the city government's involved. Paul Corretz is the
main person here. The city council member Eric Garcetti can't
run an animal shelter neither. Paul corrects. We'll be talking
to Daniel Gusts with a gust report from more on
this next John and Ken show tomorrow brings us back
to the Moist Line folks in the five o'clock hour,
So just drop us a message. The iHeartRadio app is
(18:21):
one way you can do it. The little microphone, leave
a message using that or call the toll free number
one eight seven seven Moist eighty six one eight seven
seven six six four seven eight eight six. Story today
broken the La Times that the city animal shelters are overburdened, overwhelmed.
(18:43):
They're not even walking their dogs. The dogs are going
crazy and they can go for a week, sometimes months
without getting any break an exercise outside in the kennel. Apparently,
with all the tax money we pay, there's nobody to pay.
There's no money to pay a dog walker. They rely
on volunteers, and apparently at the beginning of the pandemic
(19:06):
there wasn't a lot and the shelter is going on.
But now that people are returning to the real world,
they're starting to return some of these animals there has
been The city took him thirty percent more dogs through
May of this year than the same period last year.
Those of you who took a dog just for the
COVID lockdown and now you dumped them into a shelt there,
you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You are a bad,
(19:28):
bad person. Yes, let's get Daniel gush On from the
gush Report, who's got some information on all this. Dane,
how are you, gentlemen? Thank you for good thank you
for having me back. Well what's going on here? Well
let me tell you. You call him a shin bag.
I call him a bloated buffoon. Because nobody, nobody is
(19:50):
less surprised about this the story in the La Times
than Paul Carez. Paul Caretz has been told about this
problem and dozens of other problems at La Animal Services,
the city's animal pound, not not a shelter. Nobody has
been told more about this and other problems than Paul
(20:10):
corrects all right, now, just to explain that he does.
To explain, he's chair of the committee that oversees animal
issues for Los Angeles, right, he's the city councilman, and
so he gets all the complaints well, but he likes
to rig the system. Also, so city council, there's fifteen
council members and based on each of their skills, they
(20:32):
chair a committee. And the committee that Paul Corret's chairs
is called the Pause Committee PAWS, but that actually stands
for Personnel and Animal Welfare. There's there's no congruity between that.
It just happens to be called PAUSE, but it's for
personnel and animal Welfare. Oh and by the way, when
(20:53):
he decided to run for city controller, Nuri Martinez let
him add the word audits to it, toff for all
the public in the sinking that he's really good at audits.
That is literally the truth. He decided to run for
city controller and what the hell, let's add audits to
the Pause committee. So it's a fraud from day one,
(21:13):
starting with Garcetti, Herb Wesson and now Nouri Martinez a
city council president. So to clarify, yes, he oversees the
committee that's in charge of humane policy and the animal
pounds in the city of Los Angeles. But Corretz is
the ultimate the speed bump to slow down things. He's
(21:35):
the kind of guy who says, well, yeah, let's call
for let's call for a report to get back to
me in ninety days. Then the report, the report gets
what they call received and filed, which means it goes
into the shredder and then nothing is nothing is ever solved.
And I've known this man for seventeen years. He never
(21:58):
ever solves anything. He just takes the problems on so
that he can be seen as the guy you go
to when the problems. But even the La Times didn't
endorse him for city controller. They endorsed a guy by
the name of Kenneth Mahia, who I've reached out to
haven't earned back, and so so now they can't even
get the dogs out of the kennels, which by the way,
(22:21):
are crumbling. There. I have photos a great guy who
should be the next GM of Animal Services, guy by
the name of Paul de Rigo. He's there documenting the
problems in the pounds with collapsing walls, water doesn't work,
the animals look look like a look like a like prisoners,
(22:41):
you know, And so the animals can't even get bocked.
They don't they'll budget the money. Oh oh oh, let
me tell you something, John about budgeting the money. Paul
Correts squandered a million dollars in money that was donated
from people do in their wills. There's a fund called
(23:02):
the Animal Welfare Trust Fund. And this guy Pole corrects.
Instead of using that money to walk these animals who
probably won't ever get out of there, he decided to
take almost a million dollars and give it to an
unknown marketing firm called the Glue, without any known business location,
(23:25):
without any known employees, to rebuild the website and to
use that. By the way, I found that today they
used like ninety three thousand dollars to take photos, to
take photos for the new website. And what is the website.
The website's about the shelters. It's a website, you know,
(23:45):
where they supposedly post the photos of the animals. Hadn't
adopt a dog? Where to get three spain neuter and
things of that nature. And that's what they do every
ten years when there's a new mayor, where there's a
new general manager of Animal Services. What they do is, oh,
let's redo the website, because that will really change things
when you don't have a Spain neuter program. So Correct,
(24:07):
single handedly, as chair of this committee, took a million
dollars and gave it to this company called The Glue
with no background in fundraising, no background in website work,
no background in marketing, and really discernible place of business.
Absolutely Okay, well what's that connection? Well, you know, that's
(24:30):
a damn good question because the general manager, who I've
spoken about in the past, Brenda Barness, just happened to
retire around the time that this contract was being contract
excuse me, a no compete contract was done. And so
I don't think Paul Correct is going to be the
kind of god who's actually going to investigated. The other
choice for the people of Los Angeles a guy by
(24:50):
the name of Kennethy. He is running for city Council
and he has a bit of an activist of mentality
and he's the CPA. And mister Mahia, I am asking
you right here on the John ten Show to dig
in and find out what happened with that million dollars
and how did this company called the glue get nearly
a million dollars that should have been used for things
(25:11):
like walking the animals, and that should have been used
for fixing a dog's broken leg that Paul Dorigo was
trying to get out, How is this happening? Run galper
Run galper In and p pulk Retz are the are
the epitome of everything that's wrong in this city. And
it says, the reason why I get so fired up
(25:32):
about it is because those animals don't have anybody speaking
about him except for this guy, Thomas Kalinowski, who was
an employee of the Pound and he just had it.
Now he's working for some other pound facility and the
volunteers there, and every time a volunteer speaks up and
helps these voiceless animals, then get suspended and they get
fired and the commissioners that Garcetia points one of the
(25:57):
manager of a doctor's office, Daniel did this story quotes
in a net Ramirez you know much about her, the
interim general manager, and she said that the dogs aren't
walk for weeks or months because we have to rely
on volunteers to do this and we don't have enough. Well, well, yeah,
you know, I've known an Nette for twenty years. She
is an excellent animal control officer. She's an excellent animal
(26:18):
control officer. She is not the right person to be
interim GM. I happen to like her personally, She's not
the person who should be in that job. And from
what I understand, she doesn't want to become the permanent GM.
So yeah, she's aware of the problem. So where's the solution.
And this has nothing to do with the budget. The
million dollars was there, and the La Times knows about this.
(26:40):
So Dakota Smith is now writing some story about this.
It's like even the La Times can't deny this anymore.
So the money was there. It's not about budget a
net I like you, but it's not about the budget.
The money was there. I had all those you know,
elderly people who left money in their will to go
to the animal shelter to care for the dogs, and
(27:02):
the money may have gotten squandered and the dogs are
now losing their minds, trapped in cages, not being walked.
And there's a final quote from Larry Gross, president of
the Board of Animals Services Commissioners, said the city Council
should aw the cap funding for dog walkers, but they
don't do that. You know. Larry's also a great guy.
Larry is a very good guy who I have a
good line of communication with. He is an expert on
(27:26):
housing issues. He's an espert on housing issues. So why
is he president of the Animal Services Commission, Which, by
the way, I liked him in that role because at
least he's a guy who responds. At least he's a
guy who engages. He's a good man. He should be involved.
He's Los Angeles Housing Authority, not the Animal Services Commission
(27:47):
as his president. He's a good person as a as
a conduit. So so Larry is correct. Yeah, the money
shouldn't even be coming from the wills or the donations
from these elderly people or whoever donates money to this
animal welfare trust fund. So he's correct that, yes, city
(28:07):
council should budget that, but they don't, and then the
million dollars is missing. Here. By the way, of Dakota
Smith or David Zanezer want to contact me, I'll show
them an eighty nine page report that her Wesson, the
former City council president, commissioned from me. Commissioned from me
to show where all the problems are in Elie Animal
Services and instead of gauper in auditing it, they used
(28:31):
it as a blueprint of all of the areas at
Elie Animal Services to not audit. And when Wesson commissions
this report for me, it was him, me and one
of his flunkeys in his office on January third, twenty fourteen.
I'd remember that for a specific reason. He said, I'm
going to call for an audit and Paul Carrets will
(28:54):
second it quote unquote to give Correts cover. So the
fix has been in for years and years, if correct,
if Herb was and is commissioning a report on all
of these problems, the one in the Times today about
animals not being walked, and all of the other problems
broke in kennels, the very very dubious relationship the city
(29:15):
has with the Best Friends organization. By the way, there's
a story brewing there. All right, we gotta go because
we got a newsbreak. We gotta do Daniel great stuff.
I can't believe this amount of drama over dog walking.
It's just incredible. Yeah, and this amount of scandal, yeah,
tipp of the iceberg. There's more to come. Thank you
for giving me a platform to share it. All right,
(29:36):
thank you for coming on with it. All right, Daniel
Gust the Gust Report talking about the problems at the
LA Animal Services kennels where the dogs are not being walked,
and oh you see the detail in there that there's
mold in their food bowls and they have to crap
and sleep in the same places. You gotta do something,
you know, take action. Here's something that people can do
(29:56):
is stop buying those designer dogs and go to the
shelters and rescue a dog. That's my public service announcement
for the day. Pet yourself a mongrel. Yes, tell Ray? Yeah,
well I wasn't going to name him, but yeah, there's
somebody on the John and Ken Show who wants a
dog and that's what he needs. Oh he wants a
(30:18):
designer dog. Yeah he does, yes, okay, Oh I know
what kind of dog he likes. Yeah, alright, More we
need to find Ray a mutt from a shelter. Oh,
he's had those two. More coming up, John and Ken
Shine to coming up next hour. There is another chance
for you to win money. A thousand dollars is up
for grabs with the keyword that all you have to
do is enter it at the website that'll come up
(30:40):
around five twenty. We'll begin the hour with Steve Gregory
from KFEINE News and the word from the La County
Health Department today that we may be going back to
indoor mask mandates because of the rising number of cases
and hospitalizations. But there's a lot to talk about there,
because it's all very deceptive. It's someone trying to create
a anak when for the rest of us there is
(31:03):
no panic and it's silly, and we're the only ones
doing this, aren't we. I don't think there's anybody else,
even in the state, is doing indoor mask mandates. No,
there was just that one. What was it, Santa County? Yeah,
I forget which, Santa Clark excuse me, Santa Clara County.
I think. Okay, I just didn't have a hecup. Okay,
sounded like you were choking to death. No, No, it's
(31:23):
just and I have to send him Deborah for a
welfare check. I'm like maneuver. Also a reminder that there
is a fundraiser going on it go fund me for
a man by the name of Jason Harold. He was
one of the victims of the seven to eleven robber.
This happened in Riverside early Monday morning. Jason was just
(31:43):
going there about one in the morning to get cigarettes
or something, walked from his home to the seven to
eleven and he was shot, either by the shooter entering
or exiting the store, We're not sure, but shot a
close range. Terrible wound which is affecting him. He made paralyzed.
The family's got to go fund me listeners have really
(32:03):
stepped up already. You can find the link at KFI
a M six forty dot com, the John and Ken page.
It's right there clearly, just go there and donate whatever
you can. And we talked to his father, Steve Paul.
We're going to replay that interview because it's important you
hear it coming up after the news at five thirty
(32:24):
and so far KFI listeners have come through. They have
donated almost six thousand dollars in just an hour and
a half. Wow, so they've been very generous. So please
keep it coming and listen to the interview. I guess
it's really really, really awful what California politicians have allowed
(32:47):
our daily life to have become. Yeah, and if you
want to another listener made us aware there is a
man by the name of Matthew Hirsch. He was working
in the seven eleven store in Brea and he was murdered.
And they're also doing a fundraiser for him, and they're
doing pretty well. They have a twenty five thousand dollars goal.
They've already raised nearly eighteen thousand dollars. But this says,
(33:09):
you know, this seven to eleven robber killed two and
wounded several other people, including the man we've been talking about.
But apparently people are also trying to help out the
family of Matthew Hirsch. Yeah, do what you can. This
crazed gunman has done a lot of damage. It brought
a lot of suffering to some families here in southern California.
(33:30):
All right, well, let's spend a moment talking about a
man who is the city treasurer of Oceanside, California. His
name is Victor Roy. I can't believe the story. He's
seventy three. All right, that's important you hear his age,
because apparently the branch manager at the Mission Branch Library
(33:50):
in Oceanside said that he went in there on a
Saturday afternoon and he was looking at nudes on the
computer and then he started to download the images onto
a flash draw. I mean, what kind of a all right,
I have many questions. Well, first of all, looking at
his picture, Yeah, what has he got he's got He's
(34:11):
got the molestash, He's got the molester mustache. That gold
had a little short mustache. Well, boy, they all have that,
don't they. And that's got to be a signal. It's
got to be a signal to the other guys. I'm
one of you. Go off. The report said he was
looking at magazines that when he clicked on the cover,
the images inside the magazine were full nudity. Now I
(34:35):
have another question. They want him to resign, By the way,
city council members think he should go. Why was he
not doing this at home? Why would you why? I said,
I can't believe this story. Why would you go? Is
there a thrill to doing it the library? Does he
not have a computer that can do this at home?
Or does he live with somebody who might see him.
You can sit in your car and do it on
(34:55):
the phone or your iPad. Oh but the phone small screen.
Appreciate the porn. You can't really get worked up to
a big monitor. By the way, what kind of porn?
Was it because that mustache makes me a very worried. Oh,
I don't know. Now I got another question. It says
our library computers do have filters, because I wondered this,
(35:16):
But no filters one hundred percent fool proof? What this
filter didn't work on nudes? Roy continues to be a
regular user of the library and a three sources. Okay,
now what seventy three year old guy is going to
the library regularly just to use the computer. This makes
no sense. He's up to no good. And I got
another question. They have let homeless people in forever, and
(35:38):
that's what they homeless people do in the libraries as
they call up porn in front of the children, and
the librarians would never enforce it. Now do they only
enforce it against housed people and the unhoused to get
away with all their perversity, says all. The incident reports
states that Roy was viewing nudity. There is no specific
(36:00):
mention of pornography, So if you want to differentiate the
seriousness of the two, you can just see, like a
nude picture of a woman, but pornography indicates there's probably
some sex going on. She wasn't engaged. That's what it
sounds like it was. He engaged in any self pleasure.
Does that soften the seriousness of this to you? There
was just a node image rather than actual sexual you
(36:21):
know content. You know, he's a creepy weirdo though. I
don't know why you would do this in the middle
of a library where clearly people can look over your shoulder,
and you're well known, and you're in the city treasurer,
what are you doing? He needs therapy? All right? Coming up, Decks,
we will interrogate Steve Gregory from KFI News. The latest
(36:42):
from the La County Health Department is we may be
going back to wearing masks and indoor public spaces. Good God,
John and Ken Show. Deborah Mark has the news KFI
