Like people 16 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.280 have their carts full of toilet paper, and several retailers 17 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.480 around the US are saying that people are panic buying 18 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.480 and stocking up on toilet paper sanitation products, kind of 19 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.680 like we did during the pandemic because of the dock 20 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:23.400 workers strike. 21 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:25.519 Just know. 22 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.519 That most toilet paper is produced in the US, so 23 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.920 it doesn't have to go through the ports. 24 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:34.079 So I think we're good. 25 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.439 Thursday is Boo Preview Day.

Let's get started with some of the stories 54 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.280 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 55 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.680 firefighter hurt in a crash in Orange County has been 56 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:14.159 transferred to a hospital in Colorado that specializes in spinal injuries.

In downtown La Michael Monks KFI News. 76 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.439 And Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in Central Bay 77 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.600 Route has killed seven people. The building is not far 78 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.800 from the UN headquarters the Prime Minister's office in Parliament. 79 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.240 The strike yesterday followed the deaths of eight Israeli soldiers 80 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.720 killed in clashes with Hesbola fighters in southern Lebanon. Israel 81 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.720 announced this week it was starting what it said were 82 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.439 limited ground operations. The Jewish Federation of Los Angeles has 83 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.319 unveiled an art installation that pays tribute to the more 84 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.800 than a thousand people who were killed in the October 85 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.079 seventh attack by Hamas ahead of the one year anniversary 86 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.040 of the massacre. The artwork covers the entire side of 87 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.360 the organization's Wilshire Boulevard headquarters and is part of a 88 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:58.480 larger remembrance effort planned for Sunday and Monday. Let's say 89 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.639 good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, it's 90 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.079 been almost a week and there are still potentially hundreds missing. 91 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.319 The power is still out for more than a million. 92 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.000 What is being done in response to Hurricane Helene. 93 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.839 Well, yes, the federal response has been pretty robust. You've 94 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.360 had something like six thousand National Guard troops deployed to 95 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.240 the southeastern United States. Saving Yesterday, after touring the area, 96 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:26.519 President Biden ordered another one thousand active duty military personnel 97 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.120 to help out. The worst of the damage is in 98 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.160 western North Carolina. Believe it or not. The South Carolina 99 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.480 has more power outages right now, but North Carolina, the 100 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.120 community of Asheville over in Buscoin County has just devastated. 101 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.920 And so yeah, getting resources out there has been almost 102 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.399 impossible because the roads are washed away. Water still has 103 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.439 not receded. The power is out and the water system 104 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.040 essentially has been destroyed. 105 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.519 That's just I've seen some of the pictures of that 106 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.279 of Asheville. It's amazing because I think we were talking 107 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.040 about it. It's like four hundred miles inland. 108 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.040 It is from the Atlantic coast. So people saw the 109 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.600 map and they said, oh, there's a there's a hurricane 110 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.040 down in the Gulf of Mexico. 111 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:07.680 Big deal. 112 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.199 It's not in the Atlantic, so we don't have to 113 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.720 worry about it. You know, North Carolina's an Atlantic state, 114 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.920 and so, you know, I think maybe the psychology was 115 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.800 nothing bad can happen to North Carolina from a storm 116 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.639 that comes in from the Gulf. Well we've seen that 117 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:21.639 that's not the case. 118 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.720 In one area that I saw, I mean, it looked 119 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.360 like a nuclear bomb had gone off. I mean, like 120 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.759 the whole it was just a huge debris field. It 121 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.639 used to be houses. I mean like not even chimneys 122 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.360 still standing or anything. It's just this debris field. 123 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.600 Yeah. It shows the power of the water as it 124 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.120 was rushing down out of the mountains. You know, it 125 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.600 already had been raining in that part of the state 126 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.959 for some time, and so the rain that came in 127 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.279 with Helene as a tropical storm was easily enough to 128 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.439 push rivers out of their banks to create new waterways 129 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.519 where there had been done before, and that's what's left 130 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.800 this this whole community devastated. 131 00:06:59.360 --> 00:06:59.839 So for the. 132 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.360 People in Asheville, is insurance going to be able to 133 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.439 help them or did they even have flood insurance? 134 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.800 It's hard to say, and I'm sure that some of 135 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.720 them did, knowing that they live in a mountainous area, 136 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.680 and you know, flooding isn't just a product of living 137 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.959 on the shoreline. It happens in hilly areas up in 138 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.519 mountains as well. And so let's hope that some of 139 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.800 them did have insurance. FEMA is there trying to help out, 140 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.879 trying to backstop any insurance that might not be there. Unfortunately, 141 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.480 you know, FEMA it has enough money to meet the 142 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:35.079 needs right now, but the Homeland Security Secretary says it's 143 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.480 getting pretty tight around there. 144 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.000 Yeah, And in some areas, you know, when we have 145 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.480 these natural disasters, you see that some people just kind 146 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.000 of throw up their hands and don't They just are 147 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.040 just stymied with what you even think about doing. And 148 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.759 in other areas, people just get to work and start 149 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.959 cleaning up and rebuilding. Are we seeing what direction we're 150 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:54.879 going with this one? 151 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.079 Probably some of both is there as well, but you know, 152 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.879 and some of the aircraft, the helicopters that were ferrying 153 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.680 in water and food are leaving then with people who. 154 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.480 Said, that's it. 155 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.279 I'm going to take my dog and we're going to 156 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.959 get out of here, take us over to Charlotte or something, 157 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.079 and it's going to be very difficult. We saw this 158 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.839 similar situation. Comparisons are being made to Hurricane Katrina in 159 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.680 two thousand and five. Helene now is the deadliest mainland 160 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.600 hurricane to strike since then. And what happened in New 161 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.000 Orleans after Katrina, something like a quarter of its entire 162 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.159 population just didn't come back, and New Orleans is still 163 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:35.159 trying to recover from that. So it may be a 164 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.320 similar situation there after Helene. 165 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.440 Yeah, okay, so in the midst of the devastation, there 166 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:41.679 has to be something good. 167 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:42.840 Can you got anything? 168 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:44.200 Boy? 169 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.360 You know, you do see that kind of cooperation coming. 170 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.200 It's an all hands effort, and not just in Buscom County, 171 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.279 not just in North Carolina, but the whole country is 172 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.840 pulling together, I think to help those people there. The 173 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.679 volunteer pilots who are coming out with their own aircraft 174 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.519 to bring supplies in the the you know, this Cajun 175 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.639 Navy is there in the water, and the millions and 176 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.759 millions of dollars in donations flowing in, so you know, 177 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.200 I think it does the show. With all the stuff 178 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.480 going on in the world, Gaza, the Middle East, exploding 179 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.320 oil price, there are people in this country do still 180 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:22.320 look at their neighbors, even if they're across the nation, 181 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.559 and say, you know, we got to do something to help. 182 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.840 Just like mister Rogers said, look for the helpers. Yeah, 183 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:30.480 all right, and hopers. 184 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.240 If people want to make donations, I'm guessing Red Cross 185 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:33.960 is the place to go. 186 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.639 That's the best way to do it. Yeah, yeah, Carolina. 187 00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.960 Of course they're they're bringing in cases and cases of 188 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.440 water and that's being shuttled over there. But the farther 189 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.279 you away from this devastation, the better money is as 190 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:47.000 that resource. 191 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.000 Yeah, if you can help the Red Cross, I bet 192 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.480 you just go to their website and I bet you 193 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.759 there's a big old banner on there, So be careful. 194 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.639 Make sure you're looking at the Red Cross dot org 195 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.240 and not some scam website that's trying to ap you off. 196 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.840 That's always a good a good recommendation.

The dock workers 202 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.919 strike along the Eastern Seaboard and Gulf Coast is into 203 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.279 its third day. Transportation Secretary Pete budhaj Edge says workers 204 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.960 need a contract that is more fair than the last 205 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.559 one which expired this week. 206 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.080 The last contract that these workers were working with really 207 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.840 did not deliver much for them. Economic times were tougher 208 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.759 than there were some years where I believe there is 209 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:31.440 no wage increase at all. So the workers feel that 210 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.600 they're also kind of playing catch up. 211 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.279 Striking dock workers are demanding a new contract with a 212 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:40.279 seventy seven percent pay hike over six years. They also 213 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.840 want guarantees that their jobs will not be eliminated by automation. 214 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.960 Two guys from La are allegedly behind dozens of burglaries 215 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.080 across southern California. 216 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:53.200 Investigators initially linked the guys to burglaries around Samonnardito County 217 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.879 while looking into burglaries and Bloomington, and then. 218 00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.039 It kind of exploded and we found out that there 219 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.840 is also some instance in the LA area and also 220 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.000 on Riverside County. 221 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.799 Samonderdino County Sheriff spokeswoman Mhara Rodriguez says the guys stole 222 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.519 atm machines, cash registers and more. The guys were arrested 223 00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:15.039 during searches in La Earlier this week, investigators recovered burglary 224 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.879 tools and guns, including a stolen rifle in Samaderdino Blake, 225 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.000 Tarlei kf I News. 226 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.879 A report from the ATF on the cause of the 227 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.000 deadly wildfire on Maui has finally been released. 228 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:30.919 Investigators say downed power lines owned by Hawaiian Electric ignited 229 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.559 dry grass at a nearby school on August eighth of 230 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.080 last year. The fire tour through the historic town of Leahina, 231 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.279 almost destroying everything in its path. The report says, despite 232 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.759 early accounts, there was only one fire, not two, and 233 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.200 had sparked after hot dry winds reignited smoldering brush. The 234 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.279 fire killed one hundred and two people and caused more 235 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:49.919 than two billion in damages. The report was given to 236 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.639 Maui County officials three months ago, but it's not clear 237 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.159 why they waited until yesterday to release it. Steve Gregory 238 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:56.679 ka if I. 239 00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.840 News special counsel Jack Smith has filed new evidence in 240 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:04.559 election interference case against former President Trump. ABC's Per Thomas 241 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.440 says Smith claims Trump the candidate, not Trump the president, 242 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.960 resorted to crimes to disrupt the election process. 243 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.720 Smith, writing that Trump is directly responsible for the tinderbox 244 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.200 that he purposely ignited on January sixth. Smith goes on 245 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.679 to say the defendant also knew that he had only 246 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.919 one last hope to prevent Biden's certification as president. 247 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.159 Thomas says that last hope was the crowd standing in 248 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.000 front of Trump on January sixth. 249 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.919 Have you guys played pickleball? 250 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.639 I personally have not picked up a pickleball racket, but 251 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.120 I know that it's it's a craze and. 252 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:43.639 It's surprising who's playing it. 253 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.919 Was watching Jimmy Kimmel this week, and apparently Dodgers star 254 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.240 Mookie Betts is obsessed with it. 255 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.639 He loves pickleball. 256 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:53.320 I've heard that. 257 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.320 I know you're a great bowler we talked about last 258 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:57.679 time you're here.

Love that at six o 309 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.720 five's handle on the news. Israel continues to pound Lebanon 310 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.960 and has told a lot of people in Lebanon to 311 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.840 clear out. Let's say good morning to ABC's crime and 312 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.600 Terror analyst Brad Garrett. So, Brad, there are very rich 313 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.519 people who use their money for good, and then there 314 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.919 is the dark side of the rich and powerful. So 315 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.799 we wanted to talk to you about why some do 316 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.679 good and others do very bad. 317 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:44.360 And it's a great question, Amy, And it's sort of 318 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.799 complicated as to why people choose the direction they go. 319 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.080 Is it how they were raised of, you know what, 320 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.960 before they became rich and famous? What was their level 321 00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:01.519 of empathy? Was there any humbleness in their personality? All 322 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:03.720 of those things sort of play into which you may 323 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.879 end up being once you're rich and famous. But clearly, 324 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.759 I mean, based on the government's indictment of Sean Didi comes, 325 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:17.279 I mean they're letting all sorts of bizarre illegal behavior 326 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:24.759 and sometimes supposedly even involving juveniles, and that he ran 327 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.799 a criminal enterprise much like but not exactly the same 328 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:35.200 as R. Kelly that's already serving thirty years for similar behavior. 329 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.639 So I guess you know, the question is you build 330 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:43.000 this in power an empire, and then you basically, through 331 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:49.000 coercion and threats of losing your job, force people to 332 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.679 facilitate your whether it's sexual desires or whatever it might be. 333 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:59.519 And I think it becomes an obsession, and then it 334 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.879 becomes that nobody can do anything about it because you're 335 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.519 all powerful. And then I think people sort of believe 336 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.920 they're just above the law and they can just do 337 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.559 whatever they want. And you know, based on the number 338 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.440 of years that this alleged behavior has been going on 339 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:18.240 with comes I mean, think about Jeffrey Epstein and his 340 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:24.640 behavior went on for a long time before it became public, 341 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.759 and so you know, there are other cases out there 342 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.400 that are probably similar to these, but boy, trying to 343 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.440 get ahead of them or trying to figure out in 344 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.559 early stages that this is going on sometimes can be difficult. 345 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.480 Well, and you mentioned Epstein, but then there's also Harvey 346 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:49.000 Weinstein that went on for decades before anybody said anything. 347 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.559 And now that it's sort of like the first person 348 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.640 speaks and the dominoes start falling, kind of the same 349 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:55.480 with Bill Dosby. 350 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.680 Well right, and in coercion and I sort of I 351 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:05.720 suppose the worship factor of some famous people keep people 352 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.759 on line. I mean, you know, people are attracted of 353 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.519 those jobs. I'm convinced to be around people like Combes 354 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.359 and others because they're in the spotlight. They never would 355 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.960 have been in that kind of spotlight probably in their 356 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:22.519 everyday life. And they like that and they like the attention. 357 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.799 And then when he starts basically ordering you to do 358 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.200 things that you may not want to do, you're fearful 359 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.000 you're going to lose your job, or if you've done 360 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.200 things for him that were illegal, that he would use 361 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.880 that against you. I mean, coersion is a big play, 362 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.119 according to the government's indictment in Comb's case. 363 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.079 So, Brad, do you think, like like you were saying, 364 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.279 it has to do with like people's upbringings and that 365 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:54.359 kind of thing. So it and of course this is 366 00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:56.640 all alleged against Combe, But if you went down the 367 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.240 path that he did all of this, I mean it's like, 368 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:01.839 so he's been a bad guy his whole life and 369 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.680 now we're just finding out about it. Like, well, or 370 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.319 does the power and the money turn you into a 371 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:08.839 bad guy. 372 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:14.519 Well, I think the money and power and fame turn 373 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:20.000 you into whatever fantasies you have, whatever desires you have, 374 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.519 and that's what catches a lot of these people. I mean, 375 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:28.720 this type of behavior is, in my view, an obsession, 376 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:31.440 and you add the drugs to it, and it just 377 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:35.920 becomes a sort of a lifestyle to live this way. 378 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.680 And it's kind of like once you start living it 379 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.920 and you like it, and you've got the money and 380 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.240 the power to keep it going, then you keep it going. 381 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:50.920 And you know, you mentioned you know a number of people, 382 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.200 you know, Weinstein, Epstein both went on for decades actually 383 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.440 before something came to light. So it's people are not 384 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.359 going to change unless the system basically shuts them down. 385 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.000 Well, and it doesn't. 386 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.960 It's not only in the entertainment world too, Like sure 387 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:14.200 along political lines, look at that the former senator Menendez Melendez, Yeah, 388 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.319 you know, I mean he's had gold bars and hundreds 389 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.799 of thousands of dollars like just stashed in his house. 390 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.039 I'm like, how do you get that? And then and 391 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:24.079 then sits there and goes, oh, no, I didn't do anything. 392 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:29.319 Wrong, because that's all about you know, I'm above all that. 393 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.720 I can pull this stuff off. And there's another word 394 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.599 here that's key, and it's called entitlement. They feel entitled 395 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.920 to do what they're doing because of who they are. 396 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.160 It's sort of a fascinating study and behavior, but it's 397 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.559 also disturbing that you can take people off course so 398 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:55.359 easily when you have certain circumstances like money, power and fame. 399 00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.480 I think that's where we leave it. Thank you so much, 400 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.599 Brad Garrett. Appreciate the information, and as. 401 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.319
