WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.320 on the iHeartRadio app. Just talked about the numbers for 4 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.640 tourism in La County that have gone down significantly since 5 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:13.519 the beginning of the year. 6 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.719 Hey, Gary, why are you talking about tourism numbers going down? 7 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:19.359 Can you see all those people with their tents from 8 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.160 all over the country coming here to set up shop 9 00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:24.960 and live in our streets. Well, they're not gonna sider 10 00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:25.839 tourists when they stay. 11 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.440 I guess so you might be right. 12 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:34.399 Lieutenant Lieutenant Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is holding a news 13 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:38.119 conference about what's going on in New Orleans. Of course, 14 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.000 you may have seen the story of the presid inmates 15 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.000 that escape through a hole, sorry, through a hole behind 16 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:45.560 the wall, behind the toilet. 17 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.920 Arnie. Of the progressive promises that have been made to 18 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.320 this city is clear. New Orleans handed the jail keys 19 00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.759 to those who vowed to keep criminals out of jail, 20 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.159 and sadly, today we show that it worked. I hope 21 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:12.040 that everyone understands that the video of those prisoners escaping 22 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.200 epitomizes a progressive criminal justice system. 23 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.719 There were ten that escaped over the weekend. They have 24 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.760 captured three of them, still on the lookout for seven 25 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.519 and pretty crazy video where you can see them just 26 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.159 making their way through the hole in the wall and 27 00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.480 then out a loading dock there at the at the 28 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.879 prison and then into the night. 29 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.799 It's time for swamp watch. I'm a politician, which means 30 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.959 I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not 31 00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.239 kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. 32 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.400 Here we got the real problem is that our leaders 33 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:44.920 are done. 34 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.319 The other side never quits. 35 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.120 So what I'm not going anywhere. 36 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.480 So now you drain the swat, I can imagine what 37 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.799 can be and be unburdened by what has been. You know, 38 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.799 Americans have always been going. They're not stupid. 39 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.599 Political plunder is when a politician actually tells the. 40 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.879 Truth whether people voted for you. With massp watch, they're 41 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:06.599 all countering. 42 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.759 Well, the big deal today politically is that President Trump 43 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.439 says that Russia and Ukraine are going to start ceasefire 44 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.080 negotiations immediately this morning. At a very early morning news 45 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.039 conference from the White House, Caroline Levitt was previewing these 46 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:22.560 phone calls. 47 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:23.319 The President has. 48 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.319 Made it clear his goal is to see a ceasefire 49 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.919 and to see this conflict come to an end, and 50 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.039 he's grown weary and frustrated with both sides of the conflict. 51 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.639 The President and his team have put an enormous amount 52 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.639 of effort in solving this very complicated war that again 53 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.759 began because of the last administration's weakness. 54 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:42.000 Steve Witkoff, of course, is the Special Envoy, talked about 55 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:42.759 the call as well. 56 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:47.560 We have to get to a ceasefire. That's the President's position, 57 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.039 and we all agree with that position, and most importantly, 58 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.919 we have to get to a final peace deal. He's 59 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.280 got to get on the phone with President Putin and 60 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.840 that is going to clear up some of the logjam 61 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.840 and get us to the place that we need to 62 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.879 get to. And I think it's going to be a 63 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:03.960 very successful call. 64 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.960 So it was about a two hour phone call. According 65 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.840 to the White House, was a push to get Russia 66 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.560 to end this war in Ukraine. Trump and Putin described 67 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.000 the call as frank and useful. Not immediately clear what 68 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.479 this is going to mean, although President Trump did suggest 69 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.719 that there would be immediate ceasefire talks. The President Trump 70 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.599 that has took to truth, social said the call went 71 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.639 very well. He said, quote, Russia and Ukraine will immediately 72 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.520 start negotiations toward a ceasefire and more importantly, an end 73 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.400 to the war. He said the conditions for that will 74 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.479 be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only 75 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.080 be because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else. 76 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:44.960 Would be aware of. 77 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.159 The Kremlin came out with its version of this with 78 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.520 its statement and said a ceasefire with Ukraine is possible, 79 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.039 but noted that Russia and Ukraine must find compromises that 80 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.919 suit both sides. None of this is clear, despite the 81 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.919 fact that there was an attempt at some preliminary negotiations 82 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.719 back on Friday. Of course, the ceasefire talks themselves fell 83 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.400 through last week because it was presented with demands. The 84 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.959 Ukrainians said they were presented with demands from the Russian 85 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.920 delegation that were simply unacceptable. And then the largest drone 86 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.959 attack that we saw in the entire three years of 87 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.680 this whole deal was launched by Russia, something like two 88 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:34.639 hundred and seventy three drones. The expectation is that there 89 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.040 was the details of a prisoner swap worked out on 90 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.079 Friday the first one, one of the ones that they 91 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.399 have worked out in these face to face talks, but 92 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.759 it's not enough for a full ceasefire. Former President Biden 93 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.800 has commented publicly for the first time since it was 94 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.439 announced that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of 95 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.959 prostate cancer. He wrote on X Today, cancer touches us all. 96 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.959 Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned 97 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.319 that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you 98 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.120 for lifting us up with love and support. The President's 99 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.600 team came out yesterday former President's team and said that 100 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.120 he was seen for a new finding of a prostate 101 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.040 nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms, and on Friday they 102 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.759 told him he was diagnosed with prostate cancer characterized by 103 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.199 a Gleason score of nine with metastasis to the bone. 104 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:28.480 It had spread to the bone. 105 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.399 The statement from again the former President's office said, while 106 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.199 this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the 107 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.879 cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which does allow for 108 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.639 effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment 109 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.480 options with his physicians. One of the pre eminent oncologists 110 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:51.079 in the entire world, doctor Zeke Emmanuel, said that this 111 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.000 has probably been in him, and he's an eighty two 112 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.360 year old guy. Almost every guy is going to have 113 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.199 prostate cancer at some point if you live long enough. 114 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.639 It's just not going to be the thing most often 115 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.879 that kills you. Zeke Emmanuel said that this has probably 116 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:06.639 been there for a while. 117 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.360 Would it be fair to say it's likely to have 118 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.560 had this for at least several years? 119 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.959 Oh more than several years. You don't get prostacution. 120 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.240 Again, I just want to sell you, so this is 121 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:27.480 not speculation. If you have prostate cancer that has spread 122 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.560 to the bone, then he's most certainly you were saying, 123 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.360 had it when he was president of the United States. 124 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.680 Oh yeah, he did not develop it in the last 125 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.040 one hundred two hundred days. 126 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.399 He had it while he was president. He probably had 127 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:47.399 it at the start of his presidency in twenty one. 128 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.839 Yes that, I don't think there's any disagreement about that. 129 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:54.240 Yeah. 130 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.600 The last physical that Biden had would have been February 131 00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.160 of twenty four and whether or not an exam was 132 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.160 actually done or a blood test to look for PSA 133 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:10.839 numbers is not clear yet. It's also not necessarily a 134 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.600 go to test for somebody who's that age. Because the 135 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.480 assumption from doctors a lot is that if you're eighty 136 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.439 and you have prostate cancer or they newly discover prostate cancer, 137 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.680 prostate cancer often moves slow enough that it's not going 138 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.480 to be the thing that kills you. You live with it. It's 139 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:34.279 something else that gets you. So that was if again 140 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.360 I don't know whether they did the test or not 141 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.800 and just kept it secret, but if they didn't do 142 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.680 a prostate exam in February of twenty four, that could 143 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.120 have been the reason, at least according to a couple 144 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.120 of the different doctors that we've heard from. So tomorrow, 145 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.160 not today. Tomorrow, we're going to do a lot of 146 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.720 the discussion of Okay, when what's the timing of this 147 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.399 the release on the same day the diagnosis the same 148 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.879 day as Robert Hurk tapes come out. Tomorrow, of course 149 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.399 that book comes out from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson 150 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.079 about what people knew and when they knew it, about 151 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.959 his cognitive decline and who kept its secret, all of that. 152 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.560 So tomorrow we'll talk about that stuff. It's not I 153 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.040 don't think it's appropriate today to talk about it. A 154 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:31.079 very unusual advocate for psychedelic drug therapy. A Republican lawmaker 155 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.519 in the House of Representatives. We'll talk about Morgan Latrelle 156 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.279 and what he wants to push in terms of getting 157 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.200 PTSD therapy out there. 158 00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.879 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI 159 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.000 AM six forty. 160 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.519 Morgan Latrelle had never smoked anything. He never tried drugs 161 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:59.519 in his life. So this guy, former Navy seal, had 162 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:04.440 to ask a nurse for guidance on how to inhale ibogain. 163 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:05.720 I think that's how you say it. 164 00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.000 This psychedelic drug that's part of a final step of 165 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.759 an intense three day experimental therapy. He had gone to 166 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:19.919 Mexico in twenty eighteen to take ibogain, which is illegal 167 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:24.279 here in the United States but is gaining a reputation 168 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:31.840 as being a potential treatment for PTSD. Inhaling a separate 169 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.039 drug called DMT was the final step in this process. 170 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.000 Now here's what's interesting about Morgan Latrelle. Not the fact 171 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.000 that he suffered PTSD that's pretty common, and not the 172 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:48.600 fact that he has turned to psychedelics to deal with 173 00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:53.320 PTSD that's actually becoming more common. It's that this guy 174 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.399 is now in his second term in Congress and trying 175 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.600 to use that platform as a way to open doors 176 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:04.840 for other military vets and others who have suffered from 177 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:10.279 PTSD to use psychedelics in their treatment. He explains this 178 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.519 this is He said his journey was a last resort 179 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:17.320 for people who feel trapped within their own minds. And 180 00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.960 he said that this would have been the religious equivalent, 181 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:26.639 would be an exorcism. Yeah, he threw up a lot, 182 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:31.320 he said, after repeated vomiting, he lay on a small 183 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:34.879 mattress at an indoor facility along with other Prince participants. 184 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.799 His eyes were closed. There were a flurry of colors, numbers, 185 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.639 and then math equations that were appearing in his head. 186 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.480 And he said it was liking it was a movie screen, 187 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:47.000 but it's a movie screen of my life. And he 188 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:51.279 said he saw flashes from his past, but that those 189 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.679 flashes helped him get a new perspective on some of 190 00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:59.080 the life experiences that he had, the painful life experiences, 191 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.919 and that helped him reborn and he says it helped 192 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:08.679 save his marriage. So now Congressman Morgan Latrelle out of 193 00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.919 Texas is in a position where he didn't expect to be. 194 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:19.799 He wants to see his party specifically more open towards 195 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:24.120 what he says could be life saving treatments that are 196 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.600 currently illegal in the United States. He's among a growing 197 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:33.600 group of lawmakers Republican lawmakers, many of them veteran Republican lawmakers, 198 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.240 who are making the case for drugs that they say 199 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:40.360 can help address issues like PTSD and depression and substance 200 00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.960 abuse that can be rampant among people who are still 201 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.879 suffering suffering from their experiences in their life in the military, 202 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:50.559 he said. 203 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.919 In an interview, he said. 204 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:53.799 I had the inability to let the previous part of 205 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.240 my life go and to understand that my current life 206 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.320 is what's most important, and he argued that the path 207 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.840 forward needs to be medically based. Proponents want to see 208 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.799 a whole lot more research and funding in this. I 209 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.159 don't know how you wouldn't. I'm not a fan of psychedelics, 210 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.200 but I also don't take aspirin when I don't need to. 211 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.320 I'm not the one who is going to be deciding 212 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.159 this kind of a thing, And if you are dealing 213 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.960 with PTSD, how would you not want to use what 214 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.759 has worked in some people, or at least give it 215 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:31.559 a shot. If science supports their claims. Some of these 216 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.960 members of Congress say they hope that the administration is 217 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.960 going to back their push to allow use of these 218 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.600 drugs in medically controlled environments. It's not a free for all, 219 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.000 it's a medically controlled environment. And they said that they 220 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.679 hope that these drugs can become part of structured treatments 221 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.480 with the ultimate goal of curbing the suicide. 222 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.399 Epidemic that has racked the veteran community. 223 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:58.759 And you're talking drugs like IBA, gain, psilocybin, mushrooms, of course, MDMA, MOLLI. 224 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.279 There are there are some trials for psychedelics that happened 225 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.000 in various corners of the private sector of the government. 226 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.639 There are a handful of them in Veterans' affairs as 227 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.519 well as the Pentagon. But the FDA last year rejected 228 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:21.200 an md MDMA drug. They said they were uncertain about 229 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.840 the data, in a major setback at the time for 230 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:29.519 veterans groups. Doctor Joseph Ross, professor of medicine at Yale, 231 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.720 says he started a plenty of stories of psychedelics having 232 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:38.000 a dramatically positive impact on people's lives, but said, you 233 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.960 got to do this slowly, You got to do it 234 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.000 carefully that trials so far have left a tremendous amount 235 00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.759 of uncertainty before we're going to push the regulator to 236 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.879 approve it, the regular being the FDA, or have the 237 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.679 VA pay for it and expose a large number of 238 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:57.240 people to potential harms. Or sometimes the medicine just doesn't work. 239 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:03.320 Sometimes these therapies don't have the positive impact that you're 240 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:08.639 looking for. And blind double blind studies can be difficult 241 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.679 where not only the doctor doesn't know what drug you're getting, 242 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.320 but you don't know what drug you're getting because participants 243 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.720 and the researchers could tell if they're receiving the drug 244 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.679 rather than a placebo, because the immediate mental effects and 245 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.840 physical effects of these drugs in many cases, and there 246 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:27.639 is also a fear that if you make these things 247 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:32.399 available too much, too broadly to publicly, it could be 248 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:38.200 adding to the problems of recreational psychedelic use, unsafe use, 249 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:42.039 improper use, and that's going to set everything back. But again, 250 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.159 the ultimate goal being to cut down on the number 251 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.720 of suicides that we have seen in the veteran community 252 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.240 over the last several years, which continue to rise. In 253 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.120 twenty twenty two, a report from the VA in twenty 254 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.120 twenty two. There were six thy four hundred and seven 255 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.399 veterans in suicide deaths in twenty twenty two, and the 256 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:07.559 rate for veteran suicides is about double that of non veterans. 257 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:08.240 According to that report. 258 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.320 So if this is if this gets any sort of 259 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.600 any sort of momentum, I think you have to credit 260 00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.759 Morgan Latrelle, who himself has gone through it and is 261 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.960 now a member of Congress. The latest on that New 262 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.480 Orleans prison escape when we come back, and we'll hear 263 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.200 from Jeff Landry, the governor of Louisiana, with his fun 264 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.679 little accent, where he's going after these guys. 265 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.360 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 266 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:35.440 AM six forty. 267 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.279 Hey, Gary, I listen to you all the time, Miss Shannon. 268 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.919 This morning, I just have one comment for all these 269 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.759 people who are calling to complain about how you treated 270 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:49.720 President Biden, they should be pointing the finger at the 271 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:54.240 people who covered up his illnesses. You did not cause 272 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.159 his illness. His illness was there, they said, he was 273 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.600 perfectly healthy. Thanks for your time. 274 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:00.600 Oh, thank you appreciate it. 275 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.759 Hey Gary, why are you talking about tourism numbers going down. 276 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:06.399 Can you see all those people with their tents from 277 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.080 all over the country coming here to set up shop 278 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:10.320 and live in our streets. 279 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:10.960 Good point. 280 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:13.240 Well, they're not gonnaider tourists when they stay. I guess 281 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:14.480 so you might be right. 282 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:20.159 Okayyar juck clod, What do you mean you're not a 283 00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.879 fan of psychedelics? Number one? Have you ever taken psychedelics? 284 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.799 Have you ever taken my troop? Do you know anybody 285 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.120 personally who has taken psychedelics and if you will talk 286 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.559 to them about their experiod? Do you know anybody at 287 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.360 always takes psychedelics and have you talked about their experiod? 288 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:36.720 Yes? 289 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.039 Some say you're not a fan if you haven't done 290 00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:39.600 any of that. 291 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:41.080 Excellent point. I am. 292 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.080 I have not taken psychedelics. I have not, so I 293 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.200 guess I still could be a fan. But I have 294 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.960 talked to plenty of people who have taken psychedelics. The 295 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.320 majority of them did not have good experiences with them. 296 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.279 Some of them love it, some of them thought it 297 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.759 was fantastic. Some of them to this day continue their 298 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.879 their adventures. I suppose, but that's. 299 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:05.279 Not me, all right. 300 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.880 A man hunt is on for the inmates to escape 301 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.680 from that New Orleans jail by getting out of a 302 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.440 crawling I should say, through a hole behind a toilet. 303 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:21.160 It is now in its fourth day that search. The 304 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.640 seven of the ten men are still at large. The 305 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:29.599 agency LA Sorry, Louisiana State Police, it's I don't I 306 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.000 always get the abbreviation and. 307 00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.160 Want to say LA. 308 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.519 Louisiana State Police confirmed in an emailed statement that the 309 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:41.279 seven of the ten are still out there. Colonel Robert 310 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:46.039 Hodges for the LA State Police again Louisiana State Police 311 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:49.039 said they're looking not only for the seven guys, but 312 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:50.200 whoever helped you. 313 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:55.640 Are helping and assisting these fugitives allowing them to remain 314 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.000 uncaptured and not brought to justice. They will be consequences 315 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:02.079 and there may be charges for. 316 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.480 You, Okay. 317 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.200 So one of the things that's happening is the Governor 318 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:11.799 of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, is pointing squarely at the DA's office, 319 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:17.240 because the DA in Orleans Parish, a guy named Jason Williams, 320 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.680 is considered to be one of the more progressive das 321 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:26.319 in the country, and Jeff Landry yesterday said this may 322 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.359 lay at the feet of those progressive policies. 323 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.680 Arnie of the progressive promises that have been made to 324 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:40.039 this city is clear New Orleans handed the jail keys 325 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.519 to those who vowed to keep criminals out of jail, 326 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.920 and sadly, today we show that it worked. I hope 327 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:55.799 that everyone understands that the video of those prisoners escaping 328 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.960 epitomizes a progressive criminal justice system. 329 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:05.880 Now that point that he's making about the progressive prosecutor 330 00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.079 there in Orleans Parish, it's a guy named Jason Williams, 331 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.640 and Jason Williams is holding a news conference right now 332 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.640 and pushing back against that. It's on right now, and 333 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:18.960 one of the issues that he is saying, Jason Williams 334 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.240 is why in the world would he want these criminals 335 00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:28.160 out on the streets. These guys age a range in 336 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.160 age from nineteen to forty two, a variety of charges, 337 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:36.279 everything for aggravated assault, domestic abuse, battery, murder. He said 338 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.000 he is at risk, Jason Williams the DA and that 339 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.839 some of the families of his prosecutors are at risk 340 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:47.079 because of the concern that these guys may target the 341 00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.359 people that put them behind bars in the first place. 342 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:55.079 So Rob I am personally afraid, not just for myself, 343 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.720 but for my lawyers who tried the case against the 344 00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:02.039 individual twice. We were asking for a life sentence of 345 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.759 this man, and he is now at large. Two of 346 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:10.480 the lawyers who I tried that case with, who successfully 347 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.559 went forward able to get a conviction on that case, 348 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.799 these lawyers got to town this weekend with their families 349 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.160 out of fear of retribution and retaliation. So you know, 350 00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:26.799 I am, I've been very clear and take what my 351 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:31.720 office did immediately upon finding out from the press about 352 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:35.400 this jail break, because that's how we found out, we 353 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:39.119 immediately begin working Alzelmore, God of the Chief of our 354 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:43.519 victim waitness began calling victims and witnesses to let them 355 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.240 know that the defendants in these cases, in their cases 356 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.119 were out and. 357 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.599 At large, that this is going to be the beginning. 358 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.079 It seems like of a lot of finger pointing back 359 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:58.359 and forth. The governor blames the DA. The DA just 360 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.359 made a snide comment about I guess the Sheriff's department 361 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:05.279 because they weren't notified via the sheriff. They were notified 362 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.319 via the media that these guys had gotten out over 363 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:14.319 the weekend. And now the Orleans Parish Sheriff, Susan Hudson 364 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:16.599 said they were able to get out of the Orleans 365 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:20.400 Justice Center because of defective locks that she has been 366 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:24.559 asking for for some time to get the money to 367 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:29.079 replace some of the aging infrastructure there at the Orleans 368 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.839 Justice Center.
