Speaker 2: has to be replaced, then Cono or someone else puts
Speaker 2: in what's called a help ticket and then usually the
Speaker 2: reply from engineering is no, thank you, and that's what
Speaker 2: you get.
Speaker 3: Well, that's it close, It's usually we'll get to it.
Speaker 2: That's also good six months later. Yeah, I know it's

Speaker 2: They do, they actually do. As a matter of fact, however.
Speaker 4: I did put in a help ticket to fix Handle
Speaker 4: fifteen years ago have him replaced.
Speaker 2: Yeah. As a matter of fact, I was just talking
Speaker 2: to rich our engineer there, and he we have some
Speaker 2: issues with Handle on the phone calls and he just
Speaker 2: came back from I think he was out for a
Speaker 2: few days. First thing you did was jump on that.
Speaker 2: And we're working and we have some glitches on the
Speaker 2: phone call.
Speaker 4: So they keep adding more more tasks to their list,
Speaker 4: and then you know, a few people do.
Speaker 2: I know this is hard, will do that. They fire
Speaker 2: people and they just put more tasks on the existing
Speaker 2: people and it's it's crazy. And you've been asking for
Speaker 2: a help ticket to replace the mop that you use
Speaker 2: after the show every day, and it's rude. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: just need it. It's a little yeah. Yeah, welcome back, Neil,
Speaker 2: you just butt it good to be back on the
Speaker 2: East Coast for a while with the family.
Speaker 4: My first vacation not being in management at KABI, and
Speaker 4: it was quite nice. You know how much I thought
Speaker 4: about the station very little?
Speaker 3: What station?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Wait, did you think about us? And miss us?
Speaker 4: I actually did miss you guys, And some of the
Speaker 4: audience reached out and checked on me, and I said,
Speaker 4: just a vacation, that is all.
Speaker 3: But it was quite lovely.
Speaker 4: I saw a family, traveled with my mom a bit,
Speaker 4: and then my wife and boy celebrated my double nickel
Speaker 4: birthday on Sunday, So it was a lovely trip. Went
Speaker 4: to New York and Boston, ran into Bill Carroll to
Speaker 4: ours two l's at a cemetery in Boston.
Speaker 2: Was he being? Was he being?
Speaker 3: He was alive?
Speaker 2: Not if you talk about his career here on KFI,
Speaker 2: he wasn't. Why do you go?
Speaker 3: Why why you do that? It was very lovely to
Speaker 3: see him, and I.
Speaker 2: Actually like, I actually liked Bill and Bill Carroll's a
Speaker 2: great I think I think he's a talent I really
Speaker 2: and strangely enough, probably one of the best broadcasters I've
Speaker 2: ever met. Yeah, he's very strong, although.
Speaker 3: He didn't do you know, he the only then just
Speaker 3: a very talented mind.
Speaker 2: And that's only because he's not crazy enough.
Speaker 3: That is, uh, because he thinks before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that too.
Speaker 3: But it was really nice.
Speaker 4: Then we went to my brother and his husband's place
Speaker 4: on Cape Cod and it was gosh, that what a
Speaker 4: beautiful part of America. And you're talking about the birth
Speaker 4: of America there on the East coast. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: they came up with a lot of good names. They're like, Hey,
Speaker 4: I'm from York, what should we call this place. Let's
Speaker 4: call it New York. Hey, I'm from Hampshire. What should
Speaker 4: we call this place. Let's call it New Hampshire. Like
Speaker 4: it's no one was creative at all, but beautiful, beautiful area.
Speaker 2: New Amsterdam. Originally Amy, you had the look that you
Speaker 2: wanted to say something.
Speaker 5: I just want to know how you just happened to
Speaker 5: run into Bill Carroll in a cemetery.
Speaker 3: Here's what's weird.
Speaker 4: So Bill Carroll is friends with a guitarist from the
Speaker 4: Foo Fighters. Strangely enough, I happened to be friends with
Speaker 4: the drummer Josh Freeze of the Foo Fighters. He was
Speaker 4: there to see them. I didn't even know they were
Speaker 4: playing there.
Speaker 2: He was there.
Speaker 5: They were playing at a cemetery.
Speaker 3: No, they were playing in Boston.
Speaker 4: So he was doing the touristy thing being in Boston,
Speaker 4: and I was doing the touristy thing with my family.
Speaker 4: But like, uh, two months ago, my friend Josh sent
Speaker 4: a picture of him with Bill Carroll at a concert
Speaker 4: to me, so I sent him one of me with
Speaker 4: Bill Carroll in.
Speaker 3: A cemetery in Boston. I wouldn't want to paint it,
Speaker 3: but it.
Speaker 2: Just that's really interesting. Yeah, really, it's fascinating.
Speaker 4: I know here I should, I'll retell the story I
Speaker 4: wrote Bill.
Speaker 2: Handy guys time out Handle on the news with Amy
Speaker 2: Neil and me. Lead story is Ismail honey Yah or
Speaker 2: honey Ya, who is according to Hamas great or actually
Speaker 2: he's the late great Ismael Honeya that ham Hamas political
Speaker 2: leader killed in Tehran. Now that's interesting because you have
Speaker 2: to assume that the Israelis did it, and it is
Speaker 2: not easy to get into Iran, and somehow they were
Speaker 2: able to pull it off. And of course Israel will
Speaker 2: never ever admit it. They just never comment on stuff
Speaker 2: like that. Son, Yeah, and so we'll see it. Everything
Speaker 2: is ratching, ratcheting up over there. I think we're literally
Speaker 2: on just the cutting edge, but the regional war.
Speaker 3: What but they're getting the big names.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, they But then they've been doing that
Speaker 2: for a while. Israel has incredible intelligence and they're knocking
Speaker 2: off leader after leader and the only ones that are surviving,
Speaker 2: like Sinwar just stay in the tunnels, and I mean
Speaker 2: stay deep in the tunnels. And they don't even talk
Speaker 2: via cell phone. They what they do is they talk
Speaker 2: via landlines that connect from tunnel to tunnel or couriers
Speaker 2: above ground.
Speaker 5: That sounds like a fun existence, doesn't.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the top boss at secret services, Yeah, we
Speaker 6: screwed up the Secret Services Acting director, told lawmakers as
Speaker 6: he was grilled on Capitol Hill yesterday that he considered
Speaker 6: it indefensible the roof used by the shooter in the
Speaker 6: attempted assassination of former President Trump was not protected.
Speaker 5: And Ronald Rowe Junior testified that he went to the
Speaker 5: rally site, he laid down on the roof of the building,
Speaker 5: and he said what I saw made me ashamed as
Speaker 5: a career law enforcement officer, in a twenty five year
Speaker 5: Secret Service veteran, I cannot defend why that roof was
Speaker 5: not better secured.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the failure, I mean, it was a complete failure.
Speaker 2: One of the things we're finding out not only was
Speaker 2: the roof not secured, how the Secret Service allowed a
Speaker 2: line of site shot to take place from four hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty feet away and hitting the president and former president,
Speaker 2: but also local law enforcement that works in conjunction with
Speaker 2: the Secret Service. Whenever a president or former president, or
Speaker 2: somebody who has to be protected by the Secret Service law,
Speaker 2: let's say a foreign dignitory or a dignitary or ambassador
Speaker 2: or whatever, the Secret Service was not communicating and couldn't
Speaker 2: communicate with local law enforcement. How the hell does that work.
Speaker 3: That is freaky.
Speaker 2: That there was a communication, yeah, and no ability to communicate.
Speaker 3: Gives you chills. That he went and laid down on
Speaker 3: the roof to check the line of sight and was
Speaker 3: just blown away.
Speaker 2: The stunned, stunned, complete failure. So they're bringing up they're
Speaker 2: going to have supervisors. One of the things is supervisors
Speaker 2: from the Secret Service overseeing everything that local police are
Speaker 2: doing prior to any appearance by the president or vice
Speaker 2: president or whatever.
Speaker 4: The triathlon competitors went ahead in Paris after concerns over
Speaker 4: water quality there in the East End River, and that
Speaker 4: caused the men's race to be postponed just the day earlier.
Speaker 4: I guess they're testing this on the regular, right, No, No, I.
Speaker 2: Think they were. It was today at eight a m.
Speaker 2: Paris time, and they are. I think they've already done
Speaker 2: it because there're eight hours ahead of us.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, they've been swimming.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, well obviously triathlons and one day who won it?
Speaker 2: Do we know any I do not have that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we don't have that information. But they went ahead and
Speaker 2: they're in the water. They the authority said, yeah, the
Speaker 2: water is good enough. On the metal stand, I really
Speaker 2: want to see a photo or a video in the
Speaker 2: metal stand, because you know, those people on the podium
Speaker 2: have great, big, open, superating sores on their face that
Speaker 2: are just dripping with puss. You know that, don't you.
Speaker 3: But what is the what are they concerned salmonila or something?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they're concerned. It was like E coli and
Speaker 2: all kinds of crazy ass disease. It's it's the same river.
Speaker 2: It's a toilet.
Speaker 5: It hasn't been people have been swimming in it for
Speaker 5: one hundred years because it's been so dirty.
Speaker 2: It's completely disgusting. It is a They actually were thinking
Speaker 2: of calling it the toilet swim. And right, and yesterday
Speaker 2: you missed as I was trying to analyze it, that
Speaker 2: it's not the triathlon, it's the quad athlon because they
Speaker 2: have a diarrhea event right afterwards, and Mexico is considered
Speaker 2: the favorite to win that leto.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a guy from Great Britain won it, okay, and
Speaker 5: a guy from New Zealand finished the across the finish
Speaker 5: line six seconds behind him.
Speaker 3: Wow, And that's no, just because that's actually a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not on the not on the triathlon, because you're
Speaker 2: talking about not only the race not the full, not
Speaker 2: only the full marathon, but one hundred and ten miles
Speaker 2: on a bicycle. And I think, what a two point
Speaker 2: three mile swim and a toilet In this case.
Speaker 3: We do a try.
Speaker 2: There a lot of There are a lot of laps
Speaker 2: when you swim in a toilet.
Speaker 3: What you and I do a lot of triathlon and
Speaker 3: we'll try everything.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 5: Speaking of the Olympics, somebody's basking in the glow of
Speaker 5: the gold. It is Simone Viles and the US women's
Speaker 5: gymnastics team. They got silver in Tokyo. With Simone back
Speaker 5: on the team, they struck gold.
Speaker 3: She's amazing.
Speaker 2: She is nothing short of amazing. I was watching last night.
Speaker 2: Sure she is, yeah, she said two for six. She
Speaker 2: is absolutely extraordinary. She's stronger now at twenty seven that
Speaker 2: she's ever been. And she was doing some commercials. Tell
Speaker 2: me about her career in the world of advertising. She
Speaker 2: is funny, she is really attractive. She is a brilliant gymnast,
Speaker 2: gold medal winner. I mean, what do you think her
Speaker 2: Q rating, her likability rating is she is going to
Speaker 2: out Snoop Snoop.
Speaker 5: I don't know if anybody can out Snoop snoop. He's everywhere.
Speaker 2: You know, I've watching everywhere. I think he I think
Speaker 2: he's great. Yeah, he is terrific. It's the fun Olympics,
Speaker 2: especially the opening ceremony when they had the drag Queen
Speaker 2: last Supper scene, which offended one or two.
Speaker 3: Uh it wasn't the firs Last Supper.
Speaker 2: It certainly was.
Speaker 5: Oh, Neil, you missed.
Speaker 2: It, certainly, what excuse me? People were giving lessons past
Speaker 2: the matsa. You had to learn that in French.
Speaker 3: I heard there were some balls. I don't know if
Speaker 3: they were Motza. Yes, all right.
Speaker 4: The director of Project twenty twenty five, which is that
Speaker 4: so called conservative blueprint that everybody's talking about, I stepped
Speaker 4: down amid intense criticism, including from the former President Trump.
Speaker 4: His name is Paul Dan's, former top advisor in the Trumpet.
Speaker 2: Trump is is literally separating himself a whole lot from it.
Speaker 2: He has never said I am going to institute the
Speaker 2: Plan twenty twenty five. His only comment, I think is
Speaker 2: that I know of this is saying I don't know
Speaker 2: a lot of it. I don't know where it's coming from.
Speaker 2: The problem is that a lot of people, senior people
Speaker 2: in his administration were on the board and wrote, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five, and it's really kind of scary. Project twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five totally reinvents America. The all environmental controls. By
Speaker 2: the way, eliminated Department of Education, eliminated LGBTQ rights, eliminated
Speaker 2: national ban on abortion. I mean, a very very different
Speaker 2: way of dealing with America's nine hundred pages.
Speaker 4: My favorite part was where blacks would no longer be black,
Speaker 4: they would be referred to as dark white.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to make everything easier, Yes.
Speaker 5: Keeping kids virtually safe. The Senate has passed legislation aimed
Speaker 5: at protecting children online. The vote was ninety one to three.
Speaker 5: Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon and Republican Senators Rand
Speaker 5: Paul of Kentucky and Senator Mike Lee of Utah voted
Speaker 5: against it, and then made their argument for why. Rand
Speaker 5: Paul was saying something about free speech, but the Kids
Speaker 5: Online Safety Actor requires platforms to provide safeguards to minors,
Speaker 5: including restricting access to personal data and also providing parents
Speaker 5: with ways to supervise how their kids are using the platform.
Speaker 2: Rand Paul votes against everything, any governmental intrusion, any government
Speaker 2: oversight or regulation. He votes against if you were to
Speaker 2: introduce into Congress, some were introduced the disbanding of the Senate.
Speaker 2: He'd vote for that, very strange guy. But anyway, it's
Speaker 2: going and it went big time, ninety one to three
Speaker 2: in the Senate.
Speaker 4: All right, So el Chapo's son, Joaquin Guzman Lopez leads
Speaker 4: not guilty to narcotics, money laundering, firearms charges.
Speaker 3: Of course, this.
Speaker 4: Took place just yesterday in Chicago and he was taken
Speaker 4: into American custody.
Speaker 3: And this just stunning arrest.
Speaker 4: You've got international betrayal, intrigue, all kinds of crazy stuff
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 2: You missed the story. You weren't here when the day
Speaker 2: that had happened. And this is Guzman's son. Actually was
Speaker 2: the negotiations to turn himself into the FEDS because one
Speaker 2: of the things in the United States FEDS, because one
Speaker 2: of the things that they're most frightened of, more so
Speaker 2: than other cartels leaders and assassination attempts, is getting going
Speaker 2: to the US and being put in federal prison because
Speaker 2: they can't buy their way out of that one. There
Speaker 2: is no protection. So he was negotiating through lawyers and
Speaker 2: he was actually set up a sting with this other
Speaker 2: cartel actually his dad's partner, and set up where the
Speaker 2: partner thought they were landing in Mexico to look at
Speaker 2: a landing strip, and it actually was in El Paso,
Speaker 2: and the FEDS were right there picked both of them up.
Speaker 2: So he's going to get some kind of a deal,
Speaker 2: no question. I will see.
Speaker 5: That's going to be a movie, don't you think.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, it sounds like really, Oh yeah, it is
Speaker 2: at that level. It's really interesting.
Speaker 5: Well, they say the risk of people getting the bird
Speaker 5: flu is very very low, but the US Centers for
Speaker 5: Disease Control and Prevention announced a five million dollar initiative
Speaker 5: to offer seasonal flu vaccines to livestock workers. They say
Speaker 5: it's being done to reduce the public health concern that
Speaker 5: a new version of the bird flu could emerge among
Speaker 5: farm workers. It's been circulating in millions of farmed and
Speaker 5: wild animals. I think there's been one or two cases
Speaker 5: of it getting to peep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's it. That's tough for the virus to
Speaker 2: go from animal to people. I think it's a zoomatic
Speaker 2: when that happens. But man, when it does, that becomes
Speaker 2: a real problem. That's how you get that's how you
Speaker 2: get pandemics.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I was just waiting for some joke in there that
Speaker 4: was making me nervous.
Speaker 7: Oh you mean no, no, no, okay, all right, who's
Speaker 7: a big boy? Who's a big boy? Alrighty.
Speaker 4: So you've got third incident reported of the last several
Speaker 4: months by The Times and others in which Chinese, the
Speaker 4: Chinese have blamed food contamination for positive drug tests. And
Speaker 4: so now you have this another Chinese doping allegation flared
Speaker 4: up in the Paris Games. So some swimmers are starting
Speaker 4: to get ticked off because they feel like the officials
Speaker 4: aren't being consistent in enforcing the drug testing.
Speaker 2: When you have doping allegations, it's always or usually it's
Speaker 2: the athletes themselves. Lance Armstrong with the Tour de France.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the government of America involved in that. This
Speaker 2: is the government of China involved in doping scandal with
Speaker 2: its athletes. The same thing with Russia. So it's a
Speaker 2: big deal. It's a big deal. And the big is
Speaker 2: Israeli athletes are told do not eat poppy bagels because
Speaker 2: if you eat oh it's by the way, you eat
Speaker 2: poppy bagels. Just to let you know, yeah, you can
Speaker 2: test positive. You can test positive for the for heroin actually,
Speaker 2: because that's where hero warin comes from.
Speaker 3: Are bagels a big deal in Israel?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: American?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is very American bagels or not. I was
Speaker 2: just making a connection between Israel Jews. You know.
Speaker 5: Yes, traffic deaths are showing no signs of slowing down.
Speaker 5: It's not. In Los Angeles. Current numbers show that the
Speaker 5: city of La is on pace for more than three
Speaker 5: hundred people to be killed in vehicle related deaths this year.
Speaker 5: So far, it's one hundred and seventy. That's from January
Speaker 5: to mid July. And official say number one, I know, right,
Speaker 5: number one. Pedestrians are becoming a larger portion of those
Speaker 5: traffic desks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not paying attention because they're texting, so not
Speaker 2: looking left to right.
Speaker 5: You yell at people when you see them with their
Speaker 5: noses down when they're crossing the street.
Speaker 2: No I hit them.
Speaker 3: Oh you account for our hand. I have a theory.
Speaker 4: I have a theory on this, and these numbers at
Speaker 4: least point to it, and that is during the pandemic,
Speaker 4: we lost a lot of sociability. A lot of time
Speaker 4: people were indoors and I think that we it caused
Speaker 4: a social life.
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 3: I think you're right, because if you're right.
Speaker 4: These numbers starting in twenty twenty one, they start cranking
Speaker 4: up and it's been consistent, although you know, right now
Speaker 4: we're a little lower than twenty twenty three, but as
Speaker 4: Amy pointed out, we're looking at exceeding three hundred.
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, I.
Speaker 2: Agree with you. People are texting more because that has
Speaker 2: become the way you communicate.
Speaker 4: That's social intercal just that there's this Unfortunately there's a
Speaker 4: selfishness too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is. And by the way, adding to the
Speaker 2: mix is there's no such thing as speed limits anymore. Well,
Speaker 2: because Amy, coming in and coming in Neil, you're doing
Speaker 2: sixty five seventy miles an hour coming in on the freeway,
Speaker 2: people blow past you at over a hundred and I
Speaker 2: get to two or three of those or four of
Speaker 2: those coming in, and I have a twelve mile run
Speaker 2: on the freeway.
Speaker 4: They're just there is something, there's something off, and I
Speaker 4: don't think people care about each other in the same way,
Speaker 4: and I think they're just kind of blowing passage. Plus
Speaker 4: we don't even do we don't even punish real crimes,
Speaker 4: So people are like speeding.
Speaker 3: What are they going to do?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: Company behind those vending machines, we heard about the sell ammunition.
Speaker 4: They are making their way out west. We heard about
Speaker 4: them in Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma. But American Rounds, the company
Speaker 4: which is based in Dallas, is moving some of these
Speaker 4: vending machines to Colorado Grocery stored West and Southwest Denver,
Speaker 4: and they say they will eventually make their way here
Speaker 4: to these United States.
Speaker 2: In California, yeah, and they're arguing that the technology age
Speaker 2: verification at the vending machine is far stronger than, for example,
Speaker 2: buying ammunition through the internet. I guess you can buy
Speaker 2: internet ammunition, right, and how do they control it? I
Speaker 2: don't even know in California can you even buy I'm
Speaker 2: sure this will never go in California. But can you
Speaker 2: buy ammunition in California through the Internet. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you can.
Speaker 3: I've never done it.
Speaker 2: I don't know. All I know is the other day
Speaker 2: I went to the vending machine and boy, that bag
Speaker 2: of FreeDOS that I bought was very very heavy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are still nine milimeter nine milimeter freetos. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: whatever it takes it is.
Speaker 4: It is interesting, but we shall see because you have
Speaker 4: different like shotgun rounds. You could be eighteen to buy
Speaker 4: a shotgun, and shotgun rounds you have to be twenty one.
Speaker 2: No, but it's verification. It's some it's either face verification
Speaker 2: or thumbprint or some kind of technology that actually does
Speaker 2: a pretty good job if they can incorporate that.
Speaker 3: Although you could go vote for a president with no idea.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, they insist. But I'm just thinking of
Speaker 2: the technology is if you're old enough, you put your
Speaker 2: driver's license, for example, up to the camera, and then
Speaker 2: the camera and then it's it's connected to a large
Speaker 2: database that connects your picture that it finds all over
Speaker 2: the world in every you know where you have applied
Speaker 2: for it with the DMV and connect and proves that
Speaker 2: you are who you are and you're over eighteen or
Speaker 2: twenty one, and it sells. I tell you, it makes
Speaker 2: sense to me. It makes sense to do that with
Speaker 2: the freedoms, all right.
Speaker 5: The Copper's got a lot of copperback LA PDS Heavy
Speaker 5: Metal Task Force.
Speaker 2: Who knew there was one.
Speaker 5: I have arrested eighty two people and seized two thousand
Speaker 5: pounds of stolen copper wire. They actually put the task
Speaker 5: force back in case into place because people have been
Speaker 5: stealing all this copper wire all over LA, including at
Speaker 5: the new sixth Street Bridge, and they are taking it
Speaker 5: out of street lights in it there.
Speaker 2: It costs a not only is it unsafe because you
Speaker 2: don't have lights, but it costs a fortune to replace
Speaker 2: that copper wire. But that's the copper wire. Here's a
Speaker 2: question for you. I didn't even know they have a
Speaker 2: heavy metal task Force. So do you think in their
Speaker 2: office what kind of music would be playing on the speakers?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: They all wear spandex and get Yeah, it's and to
Speaker 4: watch them running those heels, it's insane.
Speaker 2: Yes, but they get the job done.
Speaker 3: Fun fact.
Speaker 4: One of the myths, at least about the term cop
Speaker 4: for police is that the badges used to be made
Speaker 4: out of copper and now the other one is that
Speaker 4: it's short for constable on patrol.
Speaker 3: So whatever, all right?
Speaker 2: Did yeah? I like that too? Yeah.
Speaker 4: Disneyland union employees agreed to ratify new three year contracts
Speaker 4: with Disney just late Monday evening. These new contracts include
Speaker 4: that minimum wage base pay goes up to twenty four
Speaker 4: dollars now or they are.
Speaker 3: That ain't badge, No, not at all.
Speaker 2: That ain't bad starting at twenty four bucks. And that's
Speaker 2: that's that's not bad. It really isn't. And the benefits
Speaker 2: are pretty good.
Speaker 3: KFI. Staff just left right now to go dow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, no kidding, no kidding. So the guy who
Speaker 2: says deadman till no tales now gets a minimum of
Speaker 2: twenty four bucks.
Speaker 4: I think that person probably gets a little more. But
Speaker 4: you know, in addition to that, their seniority increases, flexibility
Speaker 4: and sick leave, attendance policies.
Speaker 3: And other gains they've been fighting for for a while.
Speaker 5: Sheriff says he's sorry. So the sheriff in Sangamon County,
Speaker 5: Illinois said he was going to say something that he's
Speaker 5: never said in his career, and that is we failed.
Speaker 5: And he's talking in response to the shooting death of
Speaker 5: Sonia Massey, who was killed in her home earlier this
Speaker 5: month by a sheriff's deputy. She had called nine to
Speaker 5: one one to report an intruder and then when the
Speaker 5: sheriff's department went to respond to it, she move was
Speaker 5: shot by one of the deputies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then there now there are demonstrations all over
Speaker 2: the country, which I kind of question the demonstrations and
Speaker 2: based on this, this was an outlier case. This is
Speaker 2: not policing. This is a guy who committed straight out murder.
Speaker 2: He is a rogue cop. He should never have been
Speaker 2: a cop. He went through what is in the last
Speaker 2: four years, six different police departments or four different police
Speaker 2: departments in six years, and he was thrown out of
Speaker 2: the military, and he became and somehow he got on
Speaker 2: the police force. The protest here is the protest here
Speaker 2: is how bad cops get hired. That's the problem here.
Speaker 4: But this is if you can't, especially in the black
Speaker 4: and brown community that already have a fear of law
Speaker 4: enforcement with legitimate history, if you cannot call them for help,
Speaker 4: that is a complete breakdown. Even if this is an
Speaker 4: outlier case.
Speaker 3: Those things, Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean I'm not arguing on that. I'm not arguing this.
Speaker 3: It was horrific, Oh no, it was.
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's going down. The guy, the guy
Speaker 2: is going down, and the sheriff, by the way, should
Speaker 2: be held responsible. How did this guy get hired by
Speaker 2: this police? I mean, this is kind of nuts, But
Speaker 2: this is not institutional racism. This is not a the
Speaker 2: police forces accost across the country. This is this is
Speaker 2: truly an outliar case and the and it's you can't
Speaker 2: conflate it with institutional racism and a history of racism
Speaker 2: what you have to.
Speaker 4: But there's been you know, it's compounding it. Bill, it's
Speaker 4: not this.
Speaker 3: I understand the outlier for.
Speaker 4: Its details, maybe, but really when you put it and
Speaker 4: stack it up against.
Speaker 2: Other recent and I don't know this and by the way,
Speaker 2: I don't know the stats as to how many people
Speaker 2: of color have been killed by the police inappropriately, out
Speaker 2: of policy, straight out illegally versus whites. And of course
Speaker 2: it has to be you know, the waiting has to
Speaker 2: do because you have members of you know, the community,
Speaker 2: how many in proportion are African American? Do you look
Speaker 2: at socioeconomic levels because crimes, crime rates are higher in
Speaker 2: poorer areas. I mean, it's it's a big deal. But
Speaker 2: this guy should go down and that's sort of a given.
Speaker 2: I just can't believe the police department.
Speaker 3: Hired this guy.
Speaker 2: Don't they have any controls whatsoever?
Speaker 3: What the that's part of the breakdown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so anyway, Okay, we're done. We are completely
