1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.120
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

2
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Kf I Am six forty live everywhere, the iHeartRadio app

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Saturdays with Tiffany Hobbs here with You until seven, And

4
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>we just had a great conversation with Frank William Miller Junior.

5
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Make sure you go to the iHeartRadio app and go

6
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>to select special features. Is it special features, Kayla feature,

7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a segment feature, it's special and it's a feature.

8
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>It's a featured segment. There you go and you can

9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 2>hear this entire show and that specific conversation, which was

10
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>really informative, very eye opening about what can happen years

11
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>later if you create a piece of art, a piece

12
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>of merchandise that someone doesn't like, and if that someone's

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>in control of a venue that you want to patronize,

14
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>you might find yourself, like Frank did as banned for

15
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 2>life years later after you create and maybe sell that merchandise.

16
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 2>So listen to that interview. It was really really good. Now,

17
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>something that is not really good is the fact that

18
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>we were all added to a group chat that we

19
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 2>never intended on being a part of. Not talking about

20
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>your aunt's group chat about what they're making for dinner

21
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>or your friends group chat about something going on with

22
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>her kids. No, no, no, this is a lot less

23
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 2>innocuous and has a lot larger ramifications. This group chat

24
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>happens to deal with Donald Trump's executive cabinet and those

25
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>members who all participate in the military dealings, the plannings

26
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>of air strikes, and specifically, this air strike was to

27
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 2>hit Yemen, and it did. We saw it in the

28
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 2>news about two weeks ago. There was an air strike

29
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>that hit Yemen in search of the hoothy rebels. This

30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 2>group chat was the planning of that air strike and

31
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>it features Trump's national security team. Vice President JD. Vance

32
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 2>was in that group chat. Defense Secretary Pete Hegsith was

33
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 2>in that group chat. Mike Waltz, the National Security Advisor,

34
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 2>was in that group chat. CIA Director John Radcliffe found

35
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>himself in the group chat. The Director of National Intelligence

36
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Tolci Gabbert, was also in this text thread, and Special

37
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Envoy Steve Whitcoff was included as well. The Treasury Secretary

38
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 2>Scott b Likely was there as well. In addition to

39
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Secretary of

40
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>State Marco Rubio, there were others as well featured on

41
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>this or in this group thread, this text thread that

42
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 2>discussed plans to hit Yemen in an airstrike earlier this month. Now,

43
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>while that may not necessarily be unusual, because the National

44
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>security team does communicate, and they communicate outside the provance

45
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 2>of all of US commoners and civilians who have no

46
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 2>dealings with what they're doing, what is uncommon. What was

47
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>unusual and very atypical, is that we found out about

48
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.560
<v Speaker 2>this text thread, and we wouldn't have found out about it,

49
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>likely without the help of one person who was in

50
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 2>fact added to the group thread. Now, that group thread

51
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>involved all those people and the quote accidental edition of

52
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>The Atlantic Magazine's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. Jeffrey Goldberg,

53
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>again from The Atlantic Magazine, their editor in chief, was

54
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>put in the group chat. He wasn't supposed to be there.

55
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Those eighteen senior administration officials from Trump's cabinet, they were.

56
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Goldberg was not supposed to be in the text,

57
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>but he was. And the blowback for that has been immense.

58
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 2>For the last week, it's been the biggest story all

59
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>around the world. Arguably everyone is discussing it, and the

60
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 2>security cautions and concerns about classified and sensitive information, and

61
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 2>whether or not these sorts of things happen more often

62
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>than we know now. President Donald Trump last Tuesday downplayed

63
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>that texting. He said, there's it was only a glitch.

64
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>It was the only glitch in two months. He said,

65
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not a serious glitch, and he continued to express

66
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 2>his support for National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Mike Waltz

67
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 2>seems to be the one who created the group text

68
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>to discuss this air strike on Yemen, and someone in

69
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>that thread, or maybe a lowly intern who knows, added

70
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Goldberg to the list of people included in the conversation.

71
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 2>They didn't just use the text app that's on your phone.

72
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.879
<v Speaker 2>They used a special app called Signal. And the Signal

73
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 2>app is discussing this sensitive information and has opened up

74
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>conversation about whether or not it is secure and should

75
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 2>be used to discuss such a thing. So I am

76
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>going to let you hear a security professional, a cybersecurity professional,

77
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 2>describe the Signal app and whether or not we have

78
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>anything to be concerned about when it comes to national

79
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>security information, privacy and sensitive and classified information that is

80
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 2>shared and whether or not this sort of thing will

81
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>make it to the pub a public and cause big

82
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>issues for our government.

83
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Joining us now is security expert Chris Pearson, founder and

84
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 3>CEO of Black Cloak.

85
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Chris, thanks for being here.

86
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:09.439
<v Speaker 3>Signal is an encrypted app. It's like WhatsApp, but probably stronger.

87
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 3>It means it's scrambling the information from end to end.

88
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 3>The government did tell Americans to use this when China

89
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 3>was able to get into our phone systems. So why

90
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 3>is it not secure enough for our government officials to

91
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.240
<v Speaker 3>be having sensitive, top secret, classified conversations.

92
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, there are a few issues here, Katie. First of all,

93
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 4>is going to be in terms of just normal text messages.

94
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 4>A text message that you send between yourself and your parents,

95
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 4>your brothers, your friends, that is pretty much a kin

96
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 4>to sending a postcard. Writing the information on a postcard

97
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 4>that everyone can see in the mail not going to

98
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.839
<v Speaker 4>be secure if you have to transmit that information to

99
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 4>family member, social security number, other information there and you

100
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 4>want to use in cryptocommunication. Signal is going to be

101
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 4>an application of a choice, but it is a consumer

102
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 4>based application. The real issue here is that for sensitive

103
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 4>or classified information that is being used by and transmitted

104
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 4>by the government. That number one, the devices must be protected,

105
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 4>and number two, the application and the transmission.

106
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Of the data must be protected.

107
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 5>Just simply using an encrypted app that is only consumer

108
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 5>grade on a personal device is actually going to open

109
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.480
<v Speaker 5>up the United States and others right to foreigns fine hacking,

110
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 5>and other risks. It is not insufficient to go ahead

111
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 5>and protect classified or even sensitive communication.

112
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Uh Oh, that don't sound good at all, does it.

113
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>That does not sound good. You heard it right there

114
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 2>from that cybersecurity professional. It will, if continue to be used,

115
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.800
<v Speaker 2>open up the United States military to possible infiltration, and

116
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 2>not even possible infiltration, likely infiltration hacking. That information will

117
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>be accessed and who knows what it could be used

118
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>to do. We'll talk more about the signal app Raul

119
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 2>is a user of signal and he'll tell us what

120
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.079
<v Speaker 2>he has used signal for, and then we'll take a

121
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 2>look at some history in our deeper dive segment about

122
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>other examples of intelligence leaks in US history, as well

123
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>as another story that hasn't been getting nearly as much

124
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 2>publicity but is very similar to what Mike Waltz and

125
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Pete Hegseth are dealing with. And the consequence that this

126
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.039
<v Speaker 2>staffer faced when a leak of sensitive and classified information happened.

127
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll do all of that on the other side of

128
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>the break. It's k i AM six forty Live Everywhere

129
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 2>on the iHeartRadio App Saturdays with Tiffany.

130
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to kfi AM six forty on demand.

131
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>K i AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio

132
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 2>App Saturdays with Tiffany. Tiffny Hobbs here with you, and

133
00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about this national security concern about the Bros

134
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Group chat featuring Vice President Jade Vance and seventeen others

135
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>of President Trump's national security team. And President Trump is saying,

136
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>not a big deal, much ado about nothing, look elsewhere.

137
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 2>But the truth is that these administration officials used the

138
00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:25.600
<v Speaker 2>messaging app Signal to share their war plans about at

139
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 2>the time, the upcoming strike on Yemen to access those

140
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>hoothy rebels, and they mistakenly included the journalist from The Atlantic,

141
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.879
<v Speaker 2>the editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, in the chat, which

142
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be encrypted. However, we have learned through

143
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 2>a cybersecurity professional in the last segment that Signal the

144
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.639
<v Speaker 2>app is actually an open source and fully encrypted messaging

145
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>service that runs on centralized servers maintained by Signal Messenger,

146
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 2>and that it is is in fact the wrong way

147
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>to share sensitive and classified information. Now, with the Trump

148
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.919
<v Speaker 2>administration downplaying a need for caution, there are two things

149
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to note before we get back into the

150
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Signal App and a little bit of history. First, the

151
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.360
<v Speaker 2>app and the information shared in this chat were deleted

152
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>by someone in the administration, and that deletion of records

153
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>violates the Federal Records Act. Okay, we don't want people

154
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.679
<v Speaker 2>deleting their messages, whether it's Mayor Karen Bass or people

155
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>from the Trump administration within the Signal App. And this

156
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 2>deletion could in fact be something looked at within the

157
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Espionage Act. And this is in fact the biggest national

158
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 2>security breach in history. And that's according to not me,

159
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>not you, but every security expert who assessing this situation.

160
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.039
<v Speaker 2>All of the professionals are weighing in, like the security

161
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>professional that we just heard from, that cybersecurity expert, and

162
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>they are saying this is a huge problem. There have

163
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 2>been other leaks in history, many leaks. The Pentagon papers

164
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 2>in the nineteen seventies was a huge leak, the NSA

165
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 2>leaks in or twenty nineteen. That's the Edward Snowden situation.

166
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 2>The Chelsea Manning and Wiki leak situation in twenty ten

167
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>resulted in Chelsea Manning being ultimately sentenced to thirty five

168
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 2>years in prison. It was commuted by President Obama after

169
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 2>she served seven of those years. And then also we

170
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>have a current case with the DHS staffer who also

171
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 2>was added to a also added a reporter to a

172
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 2>group email. Sounds very much like what happened with Michael

173
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 2>Walt and the Atlantics editor in chief, but this one

174
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.840
<v Speaker 2>is slightly different and it did not happen last week. No,

175
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>this happened just a couple of months ago. And the

176
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 2>thing about this situation is that the employee was fired.

177
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>And when it comes to those within this current group

178
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 2>chat the issue of firing, the issue of resignations, those

179
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 2>conversations are being had, but as of right now, President

180
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Trump is saying, Nope, we're not moving on them. We

181
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>are moving along. There's no issue. But every professional is

182
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>telling you that that is in fact not true. We

183
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.559
<v Speaker 2>have another professional to weigh in on the signal app

184
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 2>And why if you know someone who has the signal app.

185
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>You might want to take a closer look at their reasoning. Raoul,

186
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.840
<v Speaker 2>you are the professional du Joor, tell us a little

187
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>bit about what you know. Well.

188
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.919
<v Speaker 6>Signal app a lot. It's like Snapchat. And one of

189
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 6>the great features about signal is that the pictures can

190
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.360
<v Speaker 6>disappear if they're sent. You can set it up to

191
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.879
<v Speaker 6>like disappear in five seconds, then fifteen seconds, thirty seconds.

192
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.679
<v Speaker 6>I used it in my personal and private life. I

193
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.600
<v Speaker 6>work with models, some of them are adult models, so

194
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 6>we would yes, so we would exchange pictures that I

195
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 6>needed to edit or things of lung some of that

196
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.399
<v Speaker 6>stuff I didn't want on my phone, but I had

197
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 6>to edit it at watermarks, had.

198
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 7>To edit those pictures. Yeah, let's sprinkle allegedly over this

199
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:38.720
<v Speaker 7>whole conversation. Okay, but yeah, I know that a lot

200
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 7>of the ladies that I worked with preferred this because

201
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.919
<v Speaker 7>that way I wasn't keeping their pictures. Some of the

202
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.360
<v Speaker 7>ones that I wasn't going to edit or fix, they

203
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 7>were gone. Once I saw them, I'd be like, yeah,

204
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 7>I don't like that angle, doesn't look good.

205
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 8>Next picture. And so that's how I used it.

206
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 6>And I do think that if your husband or wife

207
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 6>has the Signal app. You should raise an eyebrow unless

208
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.799
<v Speaker 6>they're working for the Pentagon or something like, hmmm, why

209
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 6>do they have the Signal app? Because a lot of

210
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 6>let's say, allegedly a lot of working girls prefer this app.

211
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.960
<v Speaker 6>Ah ah, and that hasn't been mentioned at all anywhere.

212
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:19.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad you're mentioning it.

213
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.759
<v Speaker 6>Guys in this group chat had this Signal app.

214
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.279
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying that they might be using it for

215
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>more than just security information.

216
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.759
<v Speaker 6>I am saying, allegedly, I would wonder why certain people

217
00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:34.559
<v Speaker 6>have the Signal app because it's, like I said, it's

218
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.960
<v Speaker 6>like Snapchat. A lot of that information once you see it,

219
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 6>it's gone. So these guys had they didn't have that

220
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:43.799
<v Speaker 6>feature on they should have.

221
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, you need to be a part of the

222
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.759
<v Speaker 2>National Security Advisement team.

223
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:50.559
<v Speaker 6>But I got to see how much they pay. If

224
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.039
<v Speaker 6>they pay, correct, I could work with that.

225
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is radio, so it's probably going to

226
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit better, right, you know, Thank you

227
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>for that. Security expert. Raoul allegedly allegedly when we come back,

228
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna talk about we're gonna leave the Signal app

229
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:06.799
<v Speaker 2>for a bit and we're gonna leave the group chat thankfully,

230
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna talk about this American couple. Have you

231
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>heard about them? They're being held in a Mexican prison

232
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:16.840
<v Speaker 2>and can kuon over a times share dispute. Don't go

233
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>to the time share meetings people. Let this be another

234
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 2>reason to skip the free extra days and the free

235
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>booze in favor of not taking the time share meeting

236
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>because it could land you in jail for three weeks

237
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.639
<v Speaker 2>or more as this couple is dealing with. We'll get

238
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>into that when we come back. It's KFI AM six

239
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 2>forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio App Saturdays with Tiffany

240
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Hobbs here till seven pm.

241
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.679
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

242
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I love this version Raoul Sneaky Guy. Oh kf I

243
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.559
<v Speaker 2>AM six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio App Saturdays

244
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>with Tiffany Hobbs here with you until seven. Then Michael

245
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Monks comes on and he'll have a wonderful show as always,

246
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 2>so keep listening. If you've missed anything so far, please

247
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:09.919
<v Speaker 2>go to the iHeartRadio app or iHeartRadio dot com and

248
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 2>find the special no No No not special features it

249
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 2>is a special feature. Don't know why I'm mixing that

250
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.279
<v Speaker 2>up today because I think it's special. It is featured segments.

251
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Featured segments. Look for that tab on the far left

252
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.279
<v Speaker 2>on the app or the website. But there you can

253
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.039
<v Speaker 2>find this show under featured segments. It's been a fun

254
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and informative show thus far. We definitely learned. If your

255
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 2>man has the signal app or your woman for that matter,

256
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to raise an eyebrow to that, because they're

257
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:43.879
<v Speaker 2>probably not in the war Bros Group chat. They might

258
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 2>be doing something else that will raise your eyebrows. So uh,

259
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.399
<v Speaker 2>don't go checking phones tonight. But just know that if

260
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 2>you see that pop across the screen, it's a problem.

261
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.080
<v Speaker 7>Well there's no evidence, though, there's no ed if you

262
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 7>use it correctly. Oh these caveats.

263
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Hra Will Raoul is our residence signal expert, our national

264
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>security expert here at KFI. So what he says is true.

265
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:11.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's move along now. I don't know if

266
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:16.079
<v Speaker 2>you've experienced this, but I have. When you visit an

267
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 2>international resort, whether it is a small one or a

268
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:25.000
<v Speaker 2>large one, you are likely going to face inundation by

269
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 2>someone trying to sell you a time share. They want

270
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:32.400
<v Speaker 2>you to come to the meeting. It's only two hours,

271
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.960
<v Speaker 2>they say, or three or four It always seems to

272
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>go on and on and on. But in that meeting,

273
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:42.039
<v Speaker 2>if you just sit through the time share presentation, we

274
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:46.759
<v Speaker 2>will give you one week or three days or eight

275
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>days and a bottle of tequila to sit at the

276
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:54.279
<v Speaker 2>time share presentation in hopes that you might fork out

277
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:58.359
<v Speaker 2>thousands of dollars to buy a week's worth of time

278
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 2>or a few days of time at their property. That,

279
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:05.240
<v Speaker 2>of course, when you try and book will not be

280
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.559
<v Speaker 2>available to you because everyone else is booking the same

281
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 2>thing at the same time. But that's neither here nor there. Well,

282
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.119
<v Speaker 2>there's a couple, a Michigan couple named Christy and paul

283
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 2>A Keo, and unfortunately they took the time share presentation scam.

284
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll call it that they sat through the meeting, they

285
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.519
<v Speaker 2>forked over some money and instead of being able to

286
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.400
<v Speaker 2>get a week or a few days in Cancun, Mexico,

287
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>they got this developing news for you tonight.

288
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:39.000
<v Speaker 9>The couple from mid Michigan is being held in a

289
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 9>Mexico jail.

290
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.480
<v Speaker 6>Paul and Christy Ako are from Spring Arbor in Jackson County.

291
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.119
<v Speaker 9>Christy's daughter, Lindsay says they were arrested on March fourth

292
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 9>and are being held without bond. She says the couple

293
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.039
<v Speaker 9>challenged charges made on their credit card and that's what

294
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.440
<v Speaker 9>led to their arrests. The Akao family says it has

295
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 9>reached out to the US Embassy in Mexico, along with

296
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:04.680
<v Speaker 9>other federal and state agencies, asking for help, but they

297
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:08.319
<v Speaker 9>are still being held. Tonight, Congressman Tom Barrett's office says

298
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 9>he has spoken to the family and that it has

299
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 9>also reached out to the State Department and White House

300
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 9>to get the a KOs released. Coming up tonight on

301
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 9>six News at eleven, we will hear from the family

302
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:21.119
<v Speaker 9>who is desperate to get them back home.

303
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you ever watched those Locked Up Abroad shows? I

304
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 2>love Locked Up Abroad? Roul was saying no, you're saying, yes, Kaylee,

305
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:30.680
<v Speaker 2>you've seen them. Oh yeah, that's really good TV.

306
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.000
<v Speaker 1>It is.

307
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:33.440
<v Speaker 2>What do you remember an episode of any kind that

308
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:38.440
<v Speaker 2>you saw about any sort of international jail, like details

309
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.880
<v Speaker 2>that's not necessarily details of Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen.

310
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.039
<v Speaker 2>I just know I will always follow the rules when

311
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 2>I am overseas because I do not want to go

312
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.839
<v Speaker 2>to prison over there. They seem very We're strict here,

313
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.200
<v Speaker 2>but they seem like next level strict in other countries. Yeah,

314
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and lawless. In some of the episodes I've seen, you

315
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.079
<v Speaker 2>have prisoners there just kind of walking around policing the

316
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>you have a hierarchy, you have all sorts of lawlessness

317
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 2>and criminal activity inside. And one of the episodes that

318
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I've seen, and there have been many filmed in the

319
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 2>country of Mexico, had to do with this general area

320
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:17.519
<v Speaker 2>in which Christy and Paul Akao are being held, and

321
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.200
<v Speaker 2>it was said, you don't want to go to jail

322
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 2>in Mexico. Not only are you going to potentially have

323
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:28.839
<v Speaker 2>to pay your way out allegedly callback right there for you, Raoul,

324
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.240
<v Speaker 2>but it is going to be hard to plead your

325
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>case because the laws are in fact a bit different. So,

326
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>as you just heard, this couple, both sixty years old,

327
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.480
<v Speaker 2>were in can Kun. They were trying to use their

328
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 2>time share that they paid about one hundred thousand dollars for.

329
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 2>They must have gotten really good accommodations. And once they

330
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.119
<v Speaker 2>landed at the airport in Cancun for a normal run

331
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.759
<v Speaker 2>of the mill family vacation, they were promptly arrested. Their

332
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 2>charges are fraught to a hotel chain. They're still in

333
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 2>jail as of today, which means that today is March

334
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty ninth. This story was three days ago. That makes

335
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty five days that they have been in jail in Cankun.

336
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Their attorney says that Paul and Christy signed up for

337
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.039
<v Speaker 2>a time share with Palace Resorts. I've never heard of

338
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:30.839
<v Speaker 2>Palace Resorts. Apparently they have many resorts in Mexico and

339
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:34.039
<v Speaker 2>their office is located in Florida. But I know that

340
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.720
<v Speaker 2>when you go to an international location, be it Italy

341
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.279
<v Speaker 2>like Nil Savadra, or be it Mexico like this couple

342
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 2>specifically in can Kuhn, the time share buzzards come out.

343
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.279
<v Speaker 2>They want you to buy, and they did in fact buy.

344
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.559
<v Speaker 2>But they are saying Christy and paul A Keo that

345
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.359
<v Speaker 2>when they bought and tried to book time to use

346
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:01.960
<v Speaker 2>their days or their weeks and their haughty toddy accommodations,

347
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the resort didn't allow them to use their time as promised.

348
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.279
<v Speaker 2>So what did they do? They probably went to that

349
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.079
<v Speaker 2>big thick book that has all the different places and

350
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:15.920
<v Speaker 2>they tried to find a different place, and they couldn't.

351
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.039
<v Speaker 2>So they went back to the original place and they said,

352
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what, we're mad. We are mad, and we

353
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 2>are not gonna take it anymore. So they disputed their

354
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:29.680
<v Speaker 2>contract with Palace Resorts and reached out to their credit

355
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 2>card company MasterCard and said, dispute these charges. This is fraud.

356
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.039
<v Speaker 2>We booked, we expect things and we're not getting them. Therefore,

357
00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:42.240
<v Speaker 2>there is a liat play here, and I'm wagging my finger.

358
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.079
<v Speaker 2>You can't see it. Take those charges off of our

359
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.319
<v Speaker 2>credit card. An American Express said okay, and they did it.

360
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 2>And they did it, But the story obviously doesn't end

361
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:55.240
<v Speaker 2>there because now they're in jail. If it ended there,

362
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 2>they'd be back stateside in Michigan enjoying their one hundred

363
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.279
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars refund.

364
00:22:59.279 --> 00:22:59.799
<v Speaker 1>But no.

365
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:05.039
<v Speaker 2>Mexican authorities said the refund was the scam that the

366
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 2>couple scammed them out of thirteen transactions amounting to over

367
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:15.960
<v Speaker 2>one hundred thousand dollars. Now, Palace Resorts did some digging.

368
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:18.880
<v Speaker 2>When we talked to Frank William Miller Junior. He talked

369
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.160
<v Speaker 2>about our social media feeds being able to be access

370
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:27.359
<v Speaker 2>and Palace Resorts looked at the ako's Facebook activity, and

371
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 2>they found a post on Facebook where Christy the wife

372
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:36.400
<v Speaker 2>walks her followers, her people who are a part of

373
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.920
<v Speaker 2>her Facebook through the process of disputing charges, just like

374
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:44.920
<v Speaker 2>she did, just like they did if in the event

375
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.079
<v Speaker 2>that you cannot book when you want to. Palace Resorts

376
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:52.759
<v Speaker 2>are saying that was basically a tutorial about how to

377
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:55.039
<v Speaker 2>scam out of you know, out of the money, out

378
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.880
<v Speaker 2>to get out of the charges. Therefore, this was pre meditated.

379
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.119
<v Speaker 2>They knew what they were doing, Palace Resort says, and

380
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 2>the KOs say, no, no, no, we didn't. They said

381
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:09.799
<v Speaker 2>it in Mexico, so it sounds even further away. No, no, no,

382
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you can barely hear them because they're in jail. But regardless,

383
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 2>now they are trying to fight these Mexican authorities, the

384
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Mexican legislative system to be able to get out. And

385
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing. The judge in the case allowed the

386
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:32.200
<v Speaker 2>timeshare company six more months to gather evidence to make

387
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:36.079
<v Speaker 2>their case against the a kao's, so they will likely

388
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>stay in jail up to six more months while this trial,

389
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:45.759
<v Speaker 2>this case building commences. Sure we'll have updates about that.

390
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.480
<v Speaker 2>They very well may be on the next episode of

391
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Locked up abroad. There's definitely a show in store for

392
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.240
<v Speaker 2>them when they get out, but all in all, skip

393
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.359
<v Speaker 2>the timeshare presentation. When we come back, we're going to

394
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.480
<v Speaker 2>talk about what's going on. Another update with those eaten

395
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:05.960
<v Speaker 2>fire areas, and unfortunately this one has to do with

396
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:10.839
<v Speaker 2>adding more insult to injury mosquitoes. We hate them. They're

397
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:15.000
<v Speaker 2>back and they're back in the Altadena area in droves,

398
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 2>at least according to officials. Allegedly right Raoul Allegedly k

399
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:24.519
<v Speaker 2>if I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,

400
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and we'll talk to Michael Monks on the other side

401
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.079
<v Speaker 2>of the break.

402
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

403
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Kay if I Am six forty Live everywhere on the

404
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio app. Tiffany Hobbs here with you. It's Saturdays with

405
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany for one final segment. You know, when I heard

406
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>Tim Conway do that look ahead, I heard him say bonging,

407
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 2>and I my brain twisted and I I thought he

408
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.160
<v Speaker 2>was saying that people would be allowed to, you know,

409
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 2>do the do kind of do the boinking, blinking, bonging

410
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:03.599
<v Speaker 2>away a lot of things in store, I guess at

411
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.839
<v Speaker 2>movie theaters. We were just talking about our latest watches,

412
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Kayla and I paradise for both of us adolescents. For me,

413
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:13.960
<v Speaker 2>she's gonna get on pair adolescents. And we were talking

414
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:18.279
<v Speaker 2>about wanting to go to the movies some escapism, enjoy ourselves.

415
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Some people desperately in need of escapism would be those

416
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 2>who are still two and a half almost three months

417
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:31.960
<v Speaker 2>now out from managing what happened in the fire areas,

418
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:35.720
<v Speaker 2>the burn areas, both the Palisades fire and the Eton

419
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>fire burn areas. But this last story in Michael Monks,

420
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll bring you in for this because you are our

421
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:46.119
<v Speaker 2>resident expert on the area, given that you did so

422
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 2>much reporting on the ground in Altadena and Palisades. The

423
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 2>newest development out of the Altadena burn area is that

424
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:01.839
<v Speaker 2>of the couple of thousand, almost three thousand empty houses

425
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 2>with swimming pools. Those swimming pools are now breeding grounds

426
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:12.680
<v Speaker 2>for mosquitoes as the weather starts to warm up, and

427
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 2>at one single swimming pool can be a breeding ground

428
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.279
<v Speaker 2>for as many as three million mosquitoes in one month.

429
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:23.880
<v Speaker 2>This is very scary math. Twenty seven hundred swimming pools,

430
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>at least three million mosquitos in one month, and that

431
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.160
<v Speaker 2>is one single pool. So the math I'm just doing

432
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.640
<v Speaker 2>three million times twenty seven hundred. I can't do it fast.

433
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:37.359
<v Speaker 2>But that's a buttload of mosquitos, Michael Monks.

434
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 8>And you don't want a mosquito in your butt load.

435
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 2>You don't want a mosquito.

436
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 8>You don't want one, no.

437
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Let alone multiple millions of mosquitos in your buck The.

438
00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:46.400
<v Speaker 10>Last thing LA needs right now is a healthy dose

439
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:47.480
<v Speaker 10>of malaria.

440
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:51.079
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, this is nothing for the image revitalization exactly.

441
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:52.680
<v Speaker 8>You really just can't catch your break.

442
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:54.680
<v Speaker 10>And I'll tell you, you know, being from the Ohio Valley,

443
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 10>you don't want to mess with skeeters. You know, you've

444
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.759
<v Speaker 10>got empty buckets. You got to empty you know, pails,

445
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 10>any thing that might collect water. When you think about

446
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 10>the amount of water that might be left in some

447
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 10>of these swimming pools, the.

448
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Teaspoon is a breeding round, if that's and that's like

449
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.359
<v Speaker 2>being generous. It can be less than that. And mosquito is,

450
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.480
<v Speaker 2>like you said, a lot larger, or excuse me, a

451
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:16.799
<v Speaker 2>swimming pool a lot larger. And in this revitalization campaign,

452
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 2>this we love LA campaign, this want to present LA

453
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:22.839
<v Speaker 2>as having it all together, as being better as being

454
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're modifying our strategies to respond to crime.

455
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:29.319
<v Speaker 2>We have the My three to eleven app and it's

456
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.079
<v Speaker 2>faster now and crimes down, all these things that are

457
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:35.960
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be positive trending toward the positive. Then you

458
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.599
<v Speaker 2>throw this in.

459
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:39.960
<v Speaker 10>It's a snowball effect, right. It just keeps rolling down

460
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.279
<v Speaker 10>that hill and getting bigger and bigger, like one step forward,

461
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 10>five back.

462
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.880
<v Speaker 8>That's life in La Baby.

463
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:46.839
<v Speaker 2>What's going on with your show?

464
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:47.880
<v Speaker 8>I'll tell you. You know.

465
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:49.839
<v Speaker 10>We got the Olympics coming up in twenty twenty eight, right,

466
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:52.519
<v Speaker 10>and I'm wondering whether we're ready to be ready. They

467
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 10>made some votes this week at City Hall to approve

468
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.240
<v Speaker 10>the venues, but there seems to be some concern from

469
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:01.359
<v Speaker 10>one council member about where sailing is going to take place.

470
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:04.319
<v Speaker 10>Whether the wind is better in San Pedro than it

471
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.359
<v Speaker 10>is in Long Beach. Yes, so we don't even have

472
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.839
<v Speaker 10>that settled. To give you an idea of the government here.

473
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Let me jop in. Really, so, you said something really

474
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:16.680
<v Speaker 2>funny yesterday on Tim Conway's show. I was listening and

475
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:20.200
<v Speaker 2>you made me laugh out loud in the car. You said,

476
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:21.839
<v Speaker 2>and I'm a butcher it and I'll let you do it.

477
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>That the Olympics is similar or like uh, preparing for

478
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>your own party, right, but having no kitchen, no kitchen,

479
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Your kitchen's messed up. It's not redone.

480
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 8>Kitchen is a mess.

481
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 10>You have no food, You not showered, and that's the

482
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 10>only And it's time for the party to start.

483
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:38.799
<v Speaker 8>Right.

484
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:42.720
<v Speaker 10>People are at the door. Dictators aren't here, and that's

485
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 10>kind of what we're dealing with you. Yeah, so we'll

486
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 10>talk a bit about that. But I got a big show.

487
00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:48.319
<v Speaker 10>You had a big show today. I got a big

488
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:50.960
<v Speaker 10>show too. I mean, Saturday is on KFI, a total vid,

<v Speaker 8>You'll learn, you.

491
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.599
<v Speaker 10>Laugh, you engage, you enrage. It's a lot of good stuff.

492
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.319
<v Speaker 10>I got two council members coming on, one to talk

493
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 10>about the budget crisis and the homeless spending situation. Another's

494
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker 10>coming on to talk about why they felt they needed

495
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 10>to vote to extend more protections to illegal immigrants in

496
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.200
<v Speaker 10>the city of Los Angeles. I got LA County District

497
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.160
<v Speaker 10>Attorney Nathan Hoffman on. He's brought back the death penalty

498
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.200
<v Speaker 10>to Los Angeles, so we'll talk about his mindset there.

499
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:20.240
<v Speaker 10>Like I said, we've got the Olympics coming on. I'm

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:24.079
<v Speaker 10>gonna go over why council is considering banning a couple

501
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:26.039
<v Speaker 10>of slurs at city How many?

502
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 8>Give people some examples.

503
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 2>City Hall is wild and crazy.

504
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:34.559
<v Speaker 10>I want to hear what happened. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

505

00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.400
<v Speaker 10>so much that they got married on Wednesday and collected

511
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.839
<v Speaker 10>money from friends and family to spend their honeymoon. They

512
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:52.799
<v Speaker 10>call it their mini moon at Dodger Stadium on opening day.
