This is the Mark Thompson Show on. Streaming online radio dot com Now Mark Thompson. And good morning from all of us a k g o 810 yes so much to talk about so you have so often but really a day with a lot going on. We have subpoenas from the house and demands for the most report unredacted and complete with witnesses we'll get to that when we sweep the swamp in the next hour at 11 o'clock big news made out of Chicago I'm sure that you've heard about or maybe seen it Lori Lightfoot is her name she is the new mayor of Chicago now you may say well. That's not news in itself they've got a new mayor but she will be the 1st openly gay person and person black woman to lead that city and at a time when we kind of feel like maybe we're losing some ground when it comes to civil rights and general progress when it comes to cultural awareness and acceptability of minorities and you just feel as though where there is to this and I'm sorry those of you wearing maggot hats and I do feel like it's part of the mega movement we've sort of been rolling back the clock on a lot of things it's nice to see the city of Chicago having elected this and the package he's openly gay and the 1st black woman to run the city doesn't doesn't in itself qualifier Please don't misunderstand me but I just think that's a nice little added bonus and it's of course stealing the headlines but she really is making history there in Chicago so that's going on as well to go ship trial continues here in the Bay Area and $36.00 people died in that Goetia fire it's just what an awful situation so as you're aware there are 2 guys who are at the center of all of this and they're on trial and in essence the defense is positioning the entire thing as follows It's the city of Oakland that dropped the ball if the city of Oakland have been doing their job the fire never would have happened so instead of our clients the defense was arguing instead of our clients being held responsible they're being scapegoated in all of this and if the warehouse had been inspected as it should have been. Then we wouldn't be wouldn't be sitting in this courtroom right now and $36.00 people would still be walking around so that's the essential. Thing and strategy that's going down from a trial standpoint there in the ghost ship trial but the story about this Berkeley chemical engineer who's charged with trying to poison a coworker to death and then he inadvertently ends up poisoning not only the coworker but the coworkers family because the coworkers family shares the water that was poisoned by this chemical engineer check out it's that it's bizarre story and I'm wondering in your workplace Have you ever heard of anything so extreme so bizarre. 415808810 but give us a lesson as our case this is the D.A.'s office a chemical engineer who worked at this firm accused of slowly poisoning a coworker for 18 months starting in 2017 contests and you don't hear about that stuff around here Morgan Davis just found out her long time Lafayette neighbor David Chu is in jail charged with attempted murder which let me guess he was a quiet man never would have guessed that there was any problem always got along with the other neighbors you don't hear about that stuff around here Morgan Davis just found out her longtime Lafayette neighbor David Chu is in jail charged with attempted murder she saw police on her street just days ago I saw like 3 officers all they were in uniform but they were in black Jew is a chemical engineer at Berkeley engineering and research Police say he's charged with trying to kill a colleague by poisoning her food and water court documents reveal toxic amounts of cadmium was used court papers say the victim noticed a strange taste and smell from her water and food that she had left unattended in her office the woman became sick her own relatives also got sick last fall when they drank from her water bottle you know it's always these Wyatt I should say it's about you know this is how much you resent a coworker to the point that you're slowly poisoning her I mean what's going on there is not just general madness or is there something going on a quality of resentment or jealousy or maybe it's again you know a love spurned you often hear about these romances where the woman turns the guy down and the guy finds all these devious ways to get back generally it's the guy sorry guys but we generally are. We're the ones hatching these Plan documents a surveillance footage from the woman's office showed shoe adding a substance to the woman's water bottle on 2 occasions water samples taken from the bottle tested positive for cadmium I can't imagine anyone trying to poison anyone their lab had no comment by the way if somebody was going to be poisoning someone on this show I'm sorry producer Dave you. Make you suspect one. I think that undercurrent of whatever it is that that east coast thing. I think I think we we would all point to you 1st but then you would likely be cleared and it would be someone we lead suspect their lab had no comment about the arrest use Linked In page says he has served as an engineering expert witness and consultant in materials and chemicals someone at his Lafayette home declined comment and asked us to leave so the big question is why motive for Mainz knowing the victim is recovering I spoke with her briefly tonight she had no comment the suspect is in jail he is scheduled to be arraigned so well there you go I mean it's one of those stories where honestly it reads like a plot out of c.s.i. Or something right here's a guy who's you know knows his way around chemicals he works in this in this lab with with somebody else and as I say there's no and as of reported there there's no real reason that we know of that this was going on but he has this plan to slowly poison a coworker with this cadmium which is a you know that will kill you. And she did get ill along with 2 other family members I just wonder in work situations we've always been at We've we've all been in these works at your actions especially you know in the cubicle culture you're having to share space with all kinds of people who may not let's face it be people you would hang out with normally but the idea of going to the next level and poisoning someone that's fairly extreme 415808810 if you've ever been to n a in a work situation that has demanded a degree of tolerance that you had trouble mustering or if you ever went to work situation that actually might have approached the kind of bizarre lengths that we hear here I mean I'm assuming no one's been in a situation where you've been you know party to someone poisoning someone else. But I also can't imagine not being a situation where you don't resent a coworker enough that you wouldn't think wow I wish that person wasn't around anymore. Mark it's him McAllister here and I have to tell you the why and the story is really interesting and I was thinking maybe he wanted to get somebody out of the way he wanted someone else's job and it looks like he was actually the principal engineer at the firm so whoever he was poisoning worked below him not above him that's the thing right he's in charge yeah he's originals got the top job so what was he worried that he was going to be unseated what again you know I always go to some weird romance man rejected you know again they say you know hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I mean you know wife he's got a daughter he's got a nice place to live there in Lafayette what what happened you know the picture of him the mug shot I know one looks good in a mug shot and here he looks pretty crazy that's guy that's pretty wacky most mug shot to do make people look crazy but I agree there is a level of if you can tell by a look. It's their own who are going to be under show up and see that face every day oh I don't either 88 said Jerry you're on cage you know and Mark Thompson Good morning. Good morning Mark just wanted to call you and tell you you know I've been in a couple of work situations where where things have really gotten out of hand and I think I think what happens here a lot more than people are willing to acknowledge is. Workers who are driving you know stay do awful things and and and I noticed several situations where women in the workplace. Do awful things that they're not overtly aggressive like men and they're tacitly aggressive and they do all orrible things that over a period of time. Make someone a last shout and I've seen it in several different work scenarios and this may be another example of that when I was working in San Francisco. There was this diner that me and several of my coworkers just to go to and one day it was just closed in like what's going on you know and come to find out that one of the cooks actually killed one of the waitresses because of this years long battle with they had going on and he snapped one day and just killed her and it had all Mark Yeah totally totally 7 Cisco. And so so people have to take responsibility for the behavior on the job and you can't just thank God because a lot putting my hands on somebody or you know I'm not overtly you know being aggressive towards somebody I'm Ok you know if you are psychologically damaging somebody if you're if you're using the workplace tactics that are. Unethical and you're affecting someone's mental state you have to be ready to take responsibility for that ad because not everybody has a solid mind state some people have fragile minds States. It can inadvertently cause somebody to kill you well that's I mean 1st of all you know you can't always I would think account for exactly what thing you're going to do that you might consider normal is going to set somebody like this other guy in the story who poison a coworker what's going to set a guy like that off right and and yet you're right in competitive workplaces you can end up doing things that may cross the line I mean you or I might not do it but there are people in the works place who do it you know it can be as as common as taking credit for somebody else's work you see that a lot you know in the sales world you'll see it where somebody gets an account and who actually began sort of telling that soil 1st and then when something grows on that soil somebody else takes credit for it you know and that can and that to extend the metaphor of those can be the seeds of resentment which over time can relate lead to a real issue now again I can imagine killing someone but I could certainly imagine a level of resentment building up that would make you frustrated to the point that you want something done so I think you know you make a good point I also you know I'm someone who's contacting me on Twitter I'm at Mark t. Live on Twitter and they're saying everybody's just getting angrier in this culture everybody in the society now is just drawing stark lines and they are frustrated and violence is more likely really I mean. Ok this is I think bizarre and as I say because there was a poisoning and it's a slow rate of of poison and toxicity that builds up in this person's body the victim's body it's kind of a a real level of resentment you have to stay with this plan you're not killing this person overnight this isn't a crime of passion this is an odd and deliberate act. 415-8810 if you if your if you want any work situation by that story about the cook is crazy but look I get it there are people who have stepped off the curb everywhere all right there are people who are crazy and loco and are going to do crazy stuff everywhere and we may be working with some of them you just hope that you know when the music stops they're just not in the workplace and they lose it but the theory you're talking about workplace resentment this is related to something that was going on between these 2 as Kim says you know this guy had it all going for him at least from the looks of it he was in charge of things he had a wife and family and a Ph d. Yeah multiple degrees from very accredited universities educated lived in a safe place what happened you know what's the super smart people cam that we have to really worry about how do you I'm glad I'm really not that it's one and other person working with the white wide. The. The yeah I know he was a Ph d. With in chemical engineering of course which helped him figure out how he wanted to kill his coworker which is the which is the really sad part but I don't know if that will really ever know I mean obviously he just got a screw loose but I know their level of this really does rank up there with Among the more bizarre tales of workplace resentment or as maybe we'll come to find some kind of romance gone bad I always you know I'm sorry Ken but I think that you know these. Kind of romantic overtures that are turned away they can be the real problems with guys have fragile egos and so I mean again I can't imagine someone over being rebuffed but you could have maybe he did it you're speculating that maybe he did it if he did it allegedly that because she's of her gender played a role in this in this well I think that their relationship obviously paid or played a player will their relationship Ok you know professionally or otherwise Personally I wouldn't have tried to do this to a male coworker he might have if it's a professional thing if it's a rivalry thing or something or if she was going to call him out will find out if she's going to call him out on some malfeasance or something he was involved in corruption or whatever but I mean accepting that I'm just saying clearly something was going on there's a dynamic between them that's unhealthy Have you ever had someone on the job that you felt kind of weird around that you thought was a little creepy No but I do have a I do have a story about a guy it's always the guys who are not creepy who sometimes I shouldn't say always but often times serve up something weird and I it's kind of a gross story oh believe however it happened everything. It happened right over a channel for. Right over here in San Francisco at Kron and I'll tell that story when we get it's a gross story of what a someone was doing late at night and oh no yeah but it went on and they couldn't figure out what was happening but they did figure out what was happening and I will tell that story I'm sorry to share it's both gross but also fascinating and I will share that story of a workplace misdeed would be to understate it in the extreme but I will tell that story when we come back Mark Thompson her cage you know I took.

That help keep some people slim and may predispose other people to being overweight genes play at least 40 percent a role in people's weight the study's lead author says it's much more than people realize in the future scientists might be able to devise a targeted gene therapy that can help level the playing field but for now if you do have more trouble than other people getting your weight to where you want it don't give up life isn't always fair but staying healthy and happy with your body is worth the extra effort I'm Dr Sanjay Gupta helping you live a better life now.

Towns to qualify for your chance to win a pair of tickets today here we go again to our November 21st. See me point details and we get busy. Counting gets punished by Live Nation Now Mark Thompson Show. Me here. Today. The patients are going through. All over the state of California so we'll get an update on that maybe when he gets back on Monday but nice to have come along and you know we were talking about this bizarre story of a guy in Berkeley who's. Poisoning a coworker he's accused of this but there's video of him adding something to her water and her food and he was doing it regularly and that turns out that the thing that she was showing toxic levels of was cadmium which is a highly toxic chemical lethal and also answer and even if you're not sick now she could get sick from this most certainly most certainly and it was this been going on for a year and a half so people on Twitter at Mark t. Live is what I am on Twitter people are saying this may be passive aggressive behavior may may have nothing to do with the actual victim might be something else going on. Of course we don't know what's going on we were just speculating as to what it was and the caller called in and said you know this does happen in a workplace but people reach a breaking point they do stuff 415-8810 is our number if you want to weigh in but I was mentioning before the break that something have a channel for right here in San Francisco. I was there a cron and they were n.b.c. At the time that's important but I just I'm trying to kind of set the I mean this is that this is a big station and and everything is humming along and all of a sudden they found that when they came in in the morning and I try to I'm sorry I want to polish and dance a little grotesque but the men's room in the top floor of the building was smeared with you know. Fecal matter Ok I know it's grotesque like the whole top floor or just the wall holding the whole men's room and then part of the hallway that was around the men's room as well but a pretty substantial area and it was grotesque an awful on the cleaning crew had to deal with it and it kept happening but it was happening you know every week and even with greater frequency All right who's disgruntled on the night shift Exactly and so you know there was no real night shift I mean in the sense that all the shows and of they did an 11 o'clock newscast and then that was it so they're scratching their heads a channel for going who's doing this and of course there are no security cameras in the bathroom and apparently it was done strategically so they couldn't see from the security cameras who was doing it in the hallway like in other words this was a in a sense the perfect grotesque crime so they set up the perfect test that's what it does and that is you know how to Goree of crime they set up these additional surveillance cameras hidden surveillance cameras and they found the perpetrator 0 interest in hiding and the perpetrator was this quiet guy again never would have guessed anything was wrong he was a. He was a fairly high placed guy within the production of newscasts at Channel 4 and you're going wow this is bizarre he's truly like one of the most affable people but on some level there was a resentment or an undercurrent of something that led him to do it you got to go to a lot of trouble to do the thing I just talked about to spread out all over you've got to you know it's it's a multi-step process well and and and and ultimately you know he was of course fired and all kinds of actions were taken but that was among the most bizarre things I'd ever seen or in the war in my workplace you know. When we come back Yes All right we're going to move on we're going to move on when when we come back more money directed to address both the homeless crisis in California and beyond but it may really help out but is it enough we'll talk about a new bill that will bring a lot of money almost a $1000000000.00 to address the homeless situation in California we will get into that next.

Dr Sanjay Gupta. Processed foods could actually shorten your lifespan I'm Dr Sanjay Gupta C.N.N.'s chief medical correspondent 1st things 1st what are processed foods Well they're the ones containing all the ingredients you can't pronounce they're mostly consumed in the forms of snacks desserts and ready to eat or heat. A lot of scrutiny. And as I told you those navigation satyrs that's really another way to refer to the homeless shelters because that navigation center that homeless shelter at Embarcadero the proposed site on that parking lot I'm Barkat arrow that is being a wildly contested with money we talked about this the other day Go Fund Me money on either side of that issue or you know one pot of gold is to demand a homeless shelter be built on the other is to block the building of this navigation shutter but with 4500 people living on the streets right now and 7500 people who are homeless in our city. Says supervisor Matt Haney we want to get them inside as soon as possible so this is important legislation essentially fast tracking these homeless shelters making it harder to block them in San Francisco but that co-exist with a bunch of money that was just dropped on California it's a proposal to help with the homeless Democrats and Republicans which you know in itself I suppose is noteworthy have both proposed this $750000000.00 that will be directed toward homeless use and Kate Urban is based in Washington she reports on issues the McClatchy California newspapers including the Shaq be in Fresno Bee I'm a desk job e. And Kate has been watching this story closely Kate welcome to k g o Hi Thanks Mike so take how much money how much will actually go to what part of California and how it's all going to work so it's still early and I should clarify fairly that it's not for sure that this money will actually come through yet there's been no vote it's just been proposed in Congress they're considering it although it's not a ton of money is it yet $150000000.00. Might recall that Governor Gavin Newsom. Slated 500000000 in his budget just for California and mayor said that that was not enough this is 750000000 nationwide so it's really not a ton of money but advocate groups are saying that it hits that right point between small enough that hopefully it will actually get through the Party Congress and that's a large enough that it will make a difference yeah that's an odd thing to you know I saw that in the piece that you wrote which is sort of you have to find the number that's going to not attract enough attention to become a real partition battleground right. And yet you need to find a number that really matters I don't know that this number really matters I don't mean to diminish it maybe it is an important 1st symbolic step but 750000000 particular in the context you just gave I mean you know the state of California by Gavin Newsom they've already carved out in that way 500000000 right so advocates kind of put it to me in this way of federal money a lot of the time doesn't go to these huge homeless projects so they think the existence of it at all and that it's getting bipartisan support is a big deal because he usually in order to take care of the homeless it's mostly local governments and state governments that have always foot the bill for this so they're trying to for try it as this is something on top of that that we have not gotten in the past that hopefully will get this time Kate Irby is in Washington I'm wondering in Washington do they recognize this do you sense that there is a recognition that homelessness in the nation's cities is a real problem that has to be dealt with on the federal level I think there is recognition this is a huge issue unfortunately in Washington as I'm sure you and your listeners know everything has just become so partisan lately even disaster aid has been delayed because there's a disagreement between Republicans and Democrats about how much money to give Puerto Rico so something as simple as helping victims of disasters has become politicized so unfortunately a lot of legislation is getting caught up in that So what I'm getting from you is that we shouldn't necessarily be too optimistic about the feds helping out in any substantial way certainly this is not substantial it's early yes I mean a lot of advocates were saying this is not enough money this is something that we're happy about we're glad for the step but one person but it's me know if we really wanted anough money to really deal with this issue at a city. Sanch away in the way we all dream about doing we would need tens of billions of dollars it's an expensive issue so this isn't a ton of money they're hopeful I can get it through but we're not even sure this legislation Well the people who are currently deciding whether or not this gets a hearing are in Senator Alexander's office who's a Republican from Tennessee and they just told me it's too early at a don't have cats yet they're really not sure if this is a priority for them yet before I let you go Kate Irby I have to know you know sometimes we draw these lines around g.o.p. And the Democrats in this kind of way well the Democrats want money for homelessness and the g.o.p. Doesn't yet this is this this is a bill that has bipartisan support is that not quite fair to draw those lines that way I don't think it is I think there's a yes as you point out it has bipartisan support so clearly there is Republican support for giving money to the homeless but there's also just a sense more among Republicans that if we do give money to home less we want to make sure it's a program that gets them out of homelessness that makes them self-sufficient so we don't have to keep spending that money later which is of course what Democrats want to they just have different threshold say has different priorities sometimes but I wouldn't paint Republicans as being people who just don't think the homeless need help cater Barry thank you for checking in and thanks for watching this issue in Washington d.c. For McClatchy California newspaper Shack b. Fresno Bee Modesto Bee and we always like having you join us thank you thanks ever having me Mike so you may have thoughts on this when we touch on this regularly because it's such a problem for life in the Bay Area the the homeless situation is is clearly an issue that we're never really going to be able to erase but what innovative methods and strategies can we employ. 415810 have any thoughts 415808810 but fast tracking these navigation centers fast tracking these homeless centers that does seem to be one way that lawmakers are addressing as I mentioned I mean San Francisco leaders unanimously approving that they want a new law to help the homeless to prevent these navigation centers from being caught up in some sort of legal limbo which is what's happening to that navigation center on the arrow but we know we had calls the other day people sent Hey I'm a homeowner I worked hard to get this place and now you're going to put a homeless center in the same neighborhood it's going to affect the property value of my place and that's not wrong so again I don't know how you address these issues that nimby argument is just one you keep hearing but at some point you've got to build these shelters you've got to get these people off the street so how to move that ahead and how to address this issue in an ongoing way in the Bay Area is clearly something that you know needs to be addressed I don't know if you saw this. Other thing that is happening here in California but they are losing these race horses at an amazing rate I was looking to see that you know there's literally a bill to ban horse racing that is gaining some momentum it's sponsored by Dianne Feinstein and this is at Santa Anita Raceway in Southern California they've lost 23 horses already and they're saying hey you know we've checked the turf we've made certain adaptations to the the drugs that are used and activists will tell you it is all about the drugs that you shoot these horses up with but in a letter sent to California horse for a Horse Racing Board Chairman Chuck winner. By the way it is wild that his name is Chuck when or when he's the California Horse Racing Board Chairman Dianne Feinstein wrote that she's appalled that almost 2 dozen horses have died in just 4 months again this Dianne Feinstein saying I believe that racing at Santa Anita should be suspended until the cause or causes of these deaths can be fully investigated and she's asking them whether they're considering other changes to improve the safety of horses so one of the things they've done is they're not going to shoot these horses up with all these medications the day of and they're limiting the use of the whips in a whip these horses during the race. So there's that going on I don't know if they're horse racing enthusiastic is kind of a an old guard sport but it still has a lot of majesty about it and this is definitely a blemish on the sports reputation but that's being talked about Dianne Feinstein is serious about suspending races at Santa Anita and you know that's the 1st step of that goes toward closing it down that's happening as well 415808810 Larry and Hayward Good morning you're on the air with Mark Thompson all hi Larry you want to know you want to draw a hard line they tell me and put people in here you're talking about the homelessness one yes because you're playing games with the words of us if you break it down if I know the percentage of people that are really down in their lives deserve their help as a small percentage a majority are drug addicts. Out there and you can you go just actually like that one that life if you gave them lol in a space where to live. In trashing what we've done in the past is that what you got a girl and you don't get just sleep on this site but in the person making best ukuleles you go to jail for yes you got to build more jail but in a short time people go stop doing what we're doing now when the money out is encouraging people to take that as a way of life for the interim time reading along comes over the transom. Well I mean. To put what the name calling aside for a 2nd I think you're describing kind of a lifestyle how do you determine under your plan then when you're going to be throwing people in jail who should be throwing in jail and who shouldn't you to start scooping people up and put them in jail where he alleged because it is going to love didn't get him a housing project it's going to just ruin that project and the things around it if you don't set a good stay. Some people don't have anything to strive for in this ng of if you're sick you got a mill problem. Still if your turned out you're breaking windows and people's cars and destroying their lives as soon as it could you're going to jail if you're unemployed but your place be allayed you need to melt to get some help but what you're create is a large hill area of people you know and I'm not going to go right up they sure $600.00 a month when I can just get it the weather's nice Well it's really like you don't get to do that yeah I don't know I mean it could be a bit dry county and a split people once you put people in jail and you've got the whole process of jail and bond and bail working you know you'll have people in jail when you're socially warehousing or homeless and you're homeless population in the jail system I just don't on the that's of solution I'm sympathetic to what you're saying I mean it's it's quite intense in approach but I understand what you're saying that this is a complicated population almost population isn't all people who want to find housing and want to find a better life there are a lot of drug issues there are a lot of mental health issues and as I've said before mental health professionals have to be dispatched to address this problem but I don't know that scooping all these people up and put them behind bars is any kind of answer I just don't see it I think there's that end game I don't see so if you're saying you need a place to evaluate them I don't know that jail is that place but again we will revisit this topic thanks for the call when we come back and update on that Ethiopian airliner crash you know the Boeing crash they crashed in the Boeing 737 Max that's had all these issues and the argument was well they didn't have the right training and you know what happened in this country our pilots have had better training actually not so much.

Now more of the Mark Thompson Show on. My concert here good morning from all of us a k g o 810 talking about the homeless situation in San Francisco and there is a bill introduced to fast track essentially these homeless shelters so they can't be caught up in any kind of legal limbo as is happening with the homeless shelter that's going to be on the American market arrow so up people are calling in with reaction also contacting us on Twitter and at Mark t. Live from of course we are at k g 081-415-8810 franc in San Francisco Good morning welcome to. All my friends. Yes or no lol. Frank are you calling from a microwave oven or why are you why does your why does this sound weird and yeah you. Probably are new to him but I thought you said trench. Ok so basically what I wanted to say is I'm a former homeless person after hearing with that last gentleman that was talking about I gotta say the people are just uninformed and they don't know what they're talking about and then. They go back to those old stereotypes situations where you know the whining though and the whatever it was foolish and just the sixty's desiring member people was among the seats there when I was kid so definitely what's going on. The other 2 people that are picking or have mental issues are about 30 percent of the total homeless population and we have people that are going to working with gay hearing $75000.00 a year or more can't afford the rent around here and actually go on You Tube in Eugene research you'll see old king other stories of. T.V.'s is that they're RINGBACK getting mounted in their own only people of change there are people getting motorhome and station wife and who go to work at Google every day so this perception that homes just will. You know I was a. High profile type of chick we see on the streets it's just not true and if you add in all the people that were pictured for the charge 201728 scene we're talking about 40 South Asian kids will learn out of their homes and most of the steeple are homeless so you know what does start looking at the home the street with more compassion. And know exactly what the Palm is to palm this director to know my. You know landlord to just. Wallace. So so long. The leak is still killing the politicians look an awful. Lot of us lawyers I agree Frank that I'm running out of time but thank you for the call I think you make it streamlined important points and it's kind of all we've been saying here you just can't paint this homeless population with too broad a brush it's made up of so many different stories and that old sense of what it was to be homeless just doesn't apply anymore and of course you're right about the price the cost of living in the prices of of housing in the Bay Area of course you're right about that so very much appreciate the call and promise we will follow up on just this point when we come back we'll sweep the swamp with a Muller report and bizarre happenings out of Washington we'll get into all that next. This is the Mark Thompson Show I. Downloaded tune in and see you can take him with you where every.
