Every other day I can 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: park wherever I want, but Thursday is the one day 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: that everybody shows up. And I think it has to 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: do with companies have a I don't know if it's 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: a rule or if it's just with the unions. Like 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: if you have a union job, you work as a firefighter, 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: or you work for the city or for the state, 15 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: and you have four days on, three days off, Thursday 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: is one of the days you have to work. For 17 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: most union members and most union jobs city, state, local, county. 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: And I think that's also with the private sector. They 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: don't want you to take a four day weekend. So 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: if you're if you're a ford on three off, Thursday 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: is one of the days you have to work. And 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: Thursday it means they freeways are jammed, the parking lots 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: are jammed. Everybody's doing something on Thursday, and Friday loosens up. 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: Friday is you know, is no longer the busiest day 25 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: of the week. 26 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: All right, let's you know. 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 3: I don't like talking about politics much because I'm not 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 3: going to convince you to vote one way. You're not 29 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: going to convince me to vote one way, and it's 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 3: just you know, banging heads into each other. But I 31 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: will say that the next governor of the state of 32 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: California would be much better off. If you don't like 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: what Trump's doing here in California, the next governor would 34 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: be much better off. To say, I don't agree with Trump, 35 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: but I'm friends with Trump. I'm on a friendly basis 36 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 3: with Trump because you get Trump to do a lot 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: more for your state, your city, and your county if 38 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 3: you don't fight him. If you fight Trump, you lose 39 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 3: everybody that I can think of who's gone to battle 40 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: with Donald Trump has lost everybody, Republicans, Democrats, independents, actors, actresses, singers, 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: you know. Ask all these people what it's like, you know, 42 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: Kathy Griffin or Stephen Colbert. It's exhausting, and he always 43 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: seems to win. So the better way to go twenty 44 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: is that way sound effects. We need more sound effects. 45 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: The better way to go is like Mayor Fry in 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 3: Minneapolis or Governor Walls of Minnesota, where you call the guy, 47 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 3: you have a lengthy conversation that's not filled with insults, 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: and you say, this is the problem here, this is 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: what we'd like to do. 50 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 4: Also, that. 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: Mayor of New York, Mandonnie, he's also on the boards 52 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: where he went to Washington and he met with Donald Trump, 53 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: and he's on a friendly basis with Donald Trump. That 54 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: doesn't mean you have to do anything that Donald Trump 55 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: wants you to do. It's just if you're on a 56 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: friendly basis with him and you and you compliment him 57 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: and treat him nice, that's when the money rolls in. 58 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: And what this state needs more than anything is cash. 59 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: We're broke, the state's broke, the county's broke, most of 60 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: the cities are broke. And there's a hell of a 61 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 3: lot of money in Washington, d c. That's ready to 62 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: come to California. And the best way to get Donald 63 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: Trump to do what you don't want him to do 64 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: anymore is to sit in the same room with him 65 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: or sit on the phone with him and talk about 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: it as opposed to launching insults on social media. 67 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 4: It doesn't work. 68 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: And the next governor of the state of California needs 69 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: to be on a friendly basis with Donald Trump. You 70 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: don't have to do everything Donald Trump asked you to 71 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: do or anything, but you've got to be on a 72 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: friendly basis with him because we need that federal checkbook. 73 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: We need the funeral money coming to California cuz we're broke. 74 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: We're broke in a big way, in a way that 75 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: you wouldn't imagine. LAPD broke, City of La broke, everybody 76 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: is broke. I've read an article about LAPD. Buddy of 77 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 3: mine who's in LAPD sent it to me, and this 78 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: is going to be devastating for the World Cup, the Olympics, 79 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and moving on, because the City of 80 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: La is taking away their bloodline, taking away their oxygen, 81 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: which is overtime. Overtime cops, firefighters, you know, sheriff's deputies. 82 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 3: They all make or break their family's budget with overtime. 83 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 3: They work overtime and they need that overtime pay. And 84 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: if that goes away. You're going to see a lot 85 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: of cops, a lot of firefighters moving out of state 86 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: and taking their expertise and their experience to another state, 87 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 3: and it's going to devastate California LAPD. I think they're 88 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: around eighty four hundred sworn officers right now. They want 89 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: to be at nine thousand. Ideally they want to be 90 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 3: at ten or eleven thousand. But they're going to add 91 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 3: I think four hundred more officers this year, but seven 92 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty are going to retire, and so it's 93 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: a losing baddle. And so the way to keep these 94 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 3: guys around, these guys and gals at LAPD, the Sheriff's Department, 95 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: La County Fire, La City Fire, Orange County Fire is money. 96 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: We need more money. And I know it's astonishing to 97 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 3: people listening right now.

How the hell did that happen? Well, if 142 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: there's only one or two possibilities, radical mismanagement that's a 143 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 3: strong possibility, or theft mismanagement to the point where you 144 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: can go to jail over it, and that's probably happening 145 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: as well. People stealing our money without us even knowing 146 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 3: about it.

You could give 150 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: every homeless person in California four hundred and fifty thousand 151 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 3: dollars if we didn't build that train. So what I'm saying, 152 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 3: and I hope somebody's listening, the next governor of the 153 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: State of California, you don't have to love, true, you 154 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: don't have to even do what he says, but you 155 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: can't fight him. If you fight him, you lose. And 156 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: if you lose, we all lose. Forty million people are 157 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 3: gonna go down with you. In the state of California. 158 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 3: There's a boatload of money thirty eight billion dollars it's 159 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: waiting to be given to the State of California for 160 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: fire relief, for all kinds of things, and that money 161 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: needs to come to California, and it comes through being 162 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 3: cordial with the President of the United States. If you 163 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 3: fight him, it's great for your Twitter, it's great for 164 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: social media, but we all get screwed, all of us. 165 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 3: So it's a it's a great tip. It's not mine. 166 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 3: A friend of mine talked to me this morning and 167 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: and it's and it's his idea. But even if you're 168 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: you know, a staunch Democrat and you hate Donald Trump, 169 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 3: now is not the time you're going to take forty 170 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: million people down with you again. You can still, you know, 171 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: push back on him, but it's but it can't be 172 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: a battle, because you're you will lose the fight. Trump 173 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 3: doesn't lose fights ever. I remember the last time he 174 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: fought somebody and he lost. He beats district attorneys, he 175 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 3: beats actors, actresses, when athletes go at him, when late 176 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 3: night talk show hosts go after him, when politicians go 177 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: after him. Ask all the Republicans that voted against him 178 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,119 Speaker 3: and went after him in the last two elections. 179 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 4: They're all home, all of them, every single one of them. 180 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: So there's just a tip where you may save California. 181 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 3: I hope it could. I hope it could, because this 182 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 3: is the most beautiful state in the world. I was 183 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: born and raised here. My dad came here in the fifties. 184 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: My mom came here in the fifties. I was born 185 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: and raised here on I'm a first generation California. The 186 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: second member of our family. My sister was first, the 187 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: second member of our family that was born right here 188 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 3: in California. And it's a great, great state. It just 189 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 3: needs to be fixed, and we can do it. We 190 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 3: can do it, but the director will go right now 191 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: is not working. 192 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 4: We're broke. 193 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF 194 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 5: I am six forty. 195 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 4: Monk says with us you both, I am doing well. 196 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 4: Good to be with you.

So 200 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: when I would, you know, I was in and out 201 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 3: of TV and radio, anytime I worked for a place 202 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 3: like iHeart that had malts, she would, you know, she 203 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: would support me and be happy that I had a job. 204 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: But to know she was ineligible for the contests, right, yeah, 205 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: she won tons. 206 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 4: Right, I bet you. Well, you're a little younger than 207 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 4: I am. 208 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: Were you a big box top guy sending away for 209 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 3: stuff in the mail? That probably is after your time? Yeah, Crozier, 210 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 3: you probably were where you collect like fourteen you know 211 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: apple Jack's box you send away for a toy. Yeah, 212 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 3: and it's always six to eight weeks for deliver time, 213 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: a lifetime to get crap in the mail. All right, 214 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: let's talk about violent crime in LA. It's down, it's 215 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: apparently down. The LAPED is out today with their annual 216 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 3: report and this is where they share the data of 217 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: all of the various crimes. And the one that Chief 218 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: McDonald really wanted to hit hard today was the murder rate, 219 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: the homicide rate. It is now at its lowest point 220 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 3: since nineteen fifty nine. Wow, Now that is a mathematical 221 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: equation we'll have to discuss it is. The murder rate 222 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: is five point nine per one hundred thousand people in 223 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: Los Angeles. Yeah, so how many were there two hundred 224 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: and thirty murders in twenty twenty five, And that's down 225 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: nineteen percent from the two hundred and eighty four that 226 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: were reported the year before. And Chief McDonald says that's 227 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 3: a good thing, by the way, such for the two thirty, 228 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: the two hundred and thirty, certainly, and Chief McDonald's said 229 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: that as much. In fact, here's more of what he 230 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: had to say, okay. 231 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 6: A reduction in homicide means fewer families experiencing that devastating 232 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 6: loss and fewer communities living with the lasting trauma that 233 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 6: violence creates. This decline did not happen by chance. It 234 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 6: reflects the focused and deliberative work by the men and 235 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 6: women of the LAPD, including targeted violence reduction strategies, intelligence 236 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 6: led policing, and CompStat driven deployment. 237 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: So he is crediting his end the departments leadership and 238 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: execution of their plan in reducing this number. He says 239 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: that we've worked with what we've got and we are 240 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: seeing results. I know Jim McDonald personally. He is a 241 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: great cop. He's a great chief. He's at Long Beach 242 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 3: and he ran the Sheriff's department for a while and 243 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: now he runs LAPED. For his first year. To have 244 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: that murder rate equal that of nineteen fifty nine is incredible. 245 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 3: Think about what that number represents, two hundred and thirty. 246 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: You've been here a long time, yes, what I'll just 247 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: give you the year. Okay, the highest year ever an LAPD. 248 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: Let me guess the number. Eleven hundred. 249 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right on the dot. Is that right? Can 250 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 4: you guess the year. 251 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 3: I would say that was in the nineteen seventies. It 252 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 3: was ninety three, ninety three. I know, wish by the way, 253 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: seems recent, but I'm sad to report to everyone that 254 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: was actually thirty three years ago. 255 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 4: Oh that's incredible, isn't that horrible? 256 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: Ye? 257 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: Nineteen ninety three? Wow? 258 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: So so nineteen ninety three, by the way, the last 259 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 3: year a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup? 260 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 4: Is that right? Yeah, they've had a drought. Okay, a drought. 261 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: They created the game and they can't get a Stanley 262 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: Cup back over that board. Once America get wait till 263 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: we get our hands on soccer, that's right. Once we 264 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,239 Speaker 3: figure out soccer, it's over. But that's that's an incredible 265 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: stat And and you know it's not just Los Angeles, 266 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: it's nationwide. The murder rate is way down. And the 267 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: reason why it's important, monks, and don't have to tell 268 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: you because you're a smart guy, But when you have 269 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: a murder in your family, it doesn't affect the guy 270 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: who was just a guy that was murdered. It affects 271 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: their friends, their family, their relationships, it affects their coworkers, 272 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: and everybody slows down. In life, especially the immediate family, 273 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 3: and that has a ripple effect on society. It does 274 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: raise an interesting point though this data, because we've also 275 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 3: talked to you and I on this program about the 276 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 3: LAPD budget situation. They're desire to hire more officers, the 277 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 3: budget constraints at city Hall that are preventing them from 278 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 3: hiring all of that. Well, on one side, the chief 279 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: has to say, hey, we don't have enough resources. On 280 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: the other side, he's out there today saying with the 281 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: resources we have, crime is, we're doing a really good job. 282 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 4: In law. 283 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: They've also launched the drone as a first responder of 284 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: program and they have some results of that. It now 285 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: provides coverage in fifteen of the department's twenty one areas, 286 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: and since July of last year, there have been nearly 287 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 3: eighteen hundred flights of these drones being deployed about twenty 288 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 3: three times a day, sent out to seven hundred and 289 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 3: fifty four incidents, and they say in one hundred and 290 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: thirty five of those cases, the calls for service were 291 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: resis before officers had to arrive. 292 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: So is that right. 293 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: You're finding ways to fight crime or respond to other 294 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 3: emergencies in more efficient and less expensive ways. I think 295 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 3: that the chief is doing a great job. But I 296 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 3: think the secret that nobody mentions very often. I tried 297 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 3: to on this show. But the key for LAPD to 298 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: have reduced that murder rate like that is a guy 299 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 3: named Alan Hamilton. He's the best cop I've ever met 300 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: my life, and he is the head of all detectives 301 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: right now, the chief of detectives. And he is a 302 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 3: no nonsense guy who always gets his guy and I've 303 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 3: known him for about I don't know, maybe fifteen years, 304 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 3: and a really solid guy who really, you know, constantly 305 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 3: encourages people to join the LA Police Department and encourages 306 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 3: the cops and the detectives that are already with LAPD 307 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: to really do a great job. He's a great motive 308 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: a Chief. McDonald also credited his officers, including the leadership, Yeah, 309 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 3: like detect to our chief, deputy Deputy Chief Hamilton, because 310 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 3: they solved a significant number of the murders from last year. 311 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 3: There weren't many that were left gun answered, and they 312 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 3: were able to solve older murder cases as well. 313 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, kick ass job. All right, do you want to 314 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: talk about the time capsule real quick? 315 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 2: Oh? 316 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I mean, you know, a you're up against 317 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: the news break.

It's great to walk around and know 336 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 3: that you have less of a chance of being wiped 337 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 3: out by some chef. But the second story, the b 338 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 3: story that you want to talk about is this time 339 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 3: capsule in the library. The central library building in downtown 340 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 3: Los Angeles is celebrating its centennial. So it opened, I 341 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: guess one hundred years ago, but before they finished building it, 342 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 3: and right at the start of construction of this building 343 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 3: back in nineteen twenty five, the people who were operating 344 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 3: the LA Library put a time capsule. 345 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 4: In the cornerstone. And that's not unusual. 346 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 3: People do that for schools and that sort of thing, 347 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: and then at some point in the future you're supposed 348 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: to get in there and get the time capsule out. 349 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: The interesting thing about this time capsule is that they 350 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: knew this thing existed. There were minutes, the notes taken 351 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: at a meeting from a library board meeting back in 352 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 3: nineteen twenty five that even told them what to expect 353 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 3: to find inside of it, where was it and everything. 354 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 3: Problem was, there were no details on how to get it. 355 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 3: So this cornerstone is, of course the first piece of 356 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: block that they put down in the beautiful downtown library building, 357 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 3: and the capsule is inside of it. They couldn't go 358 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 3: through the front because it would damage this historic block. 359 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 3: You don't want to do that, do you? Know how 360 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 3: they were able to get into it. They had to 361 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 3: go inside to the men's room and drill behind the 362 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 3: urinals to come from the back, and they did find 363 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 3: the capsule. Wow, it was in terrific condition. So they 364 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 3: very very intricately were able to cut it open. It 365 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 3: was a custom made copper box that they sealed this stuff, 366 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: and now inside was a lot of stuff typical of 367 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: a time capsule, pictures, newspapers from that day, photos from 368 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: older library buildings and their locations from around the area, 369 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 3: mostly in downtown LA. At that point, there was a 370 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 3: directory that they made a note in the presentation today 371 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 3: to say all of the employees are listed in this 372 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 3: from the library, the the city librarian to custodial staff, 373 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 3: because everyone who was part of the library at that 374 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 3: time wanted to be remembered. And it's just an interesting 375 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 3: feeling to think that was those people communicating with us directly. 376 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 4: It's almost eerie. 377 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 3: It is odd because that was meant to be communicated 378 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 3: to us at this time, and they thought of it 379 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 3: one hundred year. They're all dead, right, they're all gone, 380 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: But it would be interesting to know that your great 381 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: great grandfather is on that list completely. One of the 382 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: guy's name was Doc Doc Cookery. You don't have names 383 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: like that anymore. But you said they also found a 384 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 3: time capsule within the timecast. Part of this story to 385 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 3: me was that they said inside the time capsule was 386 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: a times capsule. It's like a Russian doll of time 387 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: capsules today. And this time capsule was from eighteen eighty one. 388 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: And the building that was previously on that site, which 389 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 3: was known as the Normal School, and that is a 390 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 3: pretty typical name from that era for schools that later 391 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 3: became universities. That Normal School became a school in Westwood 392 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 3: known as UCLA. 393 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 4: Is that right? Yeah? So UCLA used to be downtown exactly. 394 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 3: The origins can be traced to downtown and inside the 395 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 3: eighteen eighty one time capsule they had more newspapers in 396 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 3: English and Spanish and French. So this was a diverse 397 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 3: community for a long time. There was a card that 398 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 3: noticed that noted the population of La at that day, 399 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: which was just over eleven thousand. 400 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 4: Wow. Is that right? Also credible? 401 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: There were mementos from the funeral of President Garfield. Is 402 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 3: that there were representatives from LA who had gone and 403 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 3: brought these things back, including a piece of moss and 404 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 3: some of the black you know memorials, right, you know, 405 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: but there is so much You're from, you know, Kentucky, 406 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 3: and you know this, A lot of the homes like 407 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 3: where my grandparents lived outside of Cleveland, Ohio, Sugar and Falls, Ohio. 408 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 3: Their home was built twenty years before Abraham Lincoln was president. 409 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 3: In other parts of the country that were more densely 410 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 3: populated than California much earlier, still have a lot of that. 411 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 3: I mean, New York City is a great example. They 412 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 3: have very old stuff. But yeah, Ohio, Kentucky too. If 413 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 3: you go to Lexington or Louisville, you will see homes 414 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 3: that are two hundred years old right at this point, 415 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: two hundred years old and beautiful and beautifully kept. And 416 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 3: why I love old buildings like that, And I live 417 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 3: in an old building in downtown LA I like the 418 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: thought that a lot has happened here, A lot of 419 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 3: people's lives has started and ended right here. But what 420 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: was cool about today in the time capsule is that 421 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 3: direct communication. This was something that was meant to be 422 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 3: read by this generation on this date. You know, I'm 423 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 3: glad you said that because I thought about this today. 424 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: The home that we live in Burbank was built the 425 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 3: same year that The Wizard of Oz came out, and 426 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 3: I thought, you know, there's been probably nine or ten 427 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 3: families live in that house. There'll be forty families after me. 428 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: But it's odd to think of the families that were 429 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: there before you and the families in the future in 430 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 3: that same space. 431 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 4: It's an amazing thought. Yeah. 432 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 3: I mean, look, there are a lot of beautiful new houses, 433 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 3: and people should get the house that makes them happy. 434 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 3: That's absolutely right. But there is something special about knowing 435 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: you are sharing a space that has other stories that 436 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 3: are deeply attached to think about how important a home 437 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 3: is to a family, Oh yeah, and the memories that 438 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 3: are developed there. Even after the kids move away to 439 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: other homes, that house will always mean something to them. 440 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 4: And you live in a building that used to be 441 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 4: a hat factory. 442 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 3: That was a hat factory in the fashion district, and 443 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 3: now it is it's four or five pretty good sized, 444 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 3: five story, six and seven story buildings that are now 445 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 3: loft apartments. And so I get to go home every 446 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: day and sleep and eat and rest and watch TV, 447 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: play with the cats, and a place where you know 448 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 3: some industrial worker one hundred and twenty years ago was 449 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: going every day to earn a couple pennies. 450 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 4: Are there old pictures? 451 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 3: There are you know in my building we've got a 452 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: We've got a food court and a pizza hut and 453 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: all those types of things in your building. 454 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 2: Yeah underneath. 455 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a really cool thing. 456 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 3: It's it's nice and there are old photos from that 457 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 3: era of the workers. And there are still a lot 458 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 3: of the infrastructure. I don't know what these this machinery 459 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 3: ever did, but it's still there. It's just built into 460 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: that's a part of us to create the aesthetic. If 461 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: I had a pizza hut in our building, that would 462 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 3: be the end of me. We will do it every 463 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 3: You know, that's funny because I order it and I 464 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: have an account because I can order it from upstairs 465 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: and then walk down and get it. They give you rewards, 466 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 3: and I was getting all these rewards and I have 467 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: no idea if we had free pizza for three weeks. 468 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 4: In a row. 469 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: Is that directly below you? I mean you can smell 470 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: the pizza being made. Luckily, we don't smell it all 471 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: the time. There's a there's a pizza hut, there is 472 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 3: a Thai restaurant that's very popular. And then there is 473 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 3: like this U I want to say, Hawaiian Filipino Fusion 474 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 3: restaurant that's also well known.

Also, 503 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 3: the crime data crime LAC's the lowest homicide rate since 504 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 3: nineteen fifty nine. That is something to celebrate. You know, 505 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 3: we don't often get great news like that, but as 506 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 3: you're driving around Los Angeles or maybe walking to at night. 507 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 3: I can't stress this enough. I know we did a 508 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 3: story with Michael Munks, but people have to know that 509 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 3: this town is much safer than it was a year ago, 510 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 3: a year ago, and that is due to a terrifica 511 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 3: police work. What else could it be? You know, murderers 512 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: just don't decide to stop murdering. They're either being caught 513 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 3: or hunted by LAPD, or they're in jail, or they've 514 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: left because LAPD is on their case and they've vanished. 515 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 3: But that's a great stat for LAPD Lois since nineteen 516 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 3: sixty years. 517 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 7: Chief Jim McDonald says that twenty twenty five marked a 518 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 7: year of progress when it comes to lowering crime across 519 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 7: the city, and that's backed by lower homicide rates and 520 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 7: fewer shooting victims. But there are also areas of improvement 521 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 7: that are needed, according to the chief. He says areas 522 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 7: like homeless related crimes and traffic crashes that are deadly 523 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 7: taking one hundred of year lives every year. 524 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 4: Let's take it to the video now and tell you 525 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 4: about this. 526 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 7: LAPED leader say, twenty twenty five ended with two hundred 527 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 7: and thirty homicides, the city's lowest total since nineteen sixty six. 528 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 7: That's fifty four fewer homicide victims than in twenty twenty four, 529 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 7: a nineteen percent decline there. The report also showing fewer 530 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 7: people impacted by gun violence across the city, with shooting 531 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 7: victims down from nine hundred and eighty one the year 532 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 7: before to eight hundred and ninety nine. 533 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 4: That's an eight percent drop. 534 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 7: And when it comes to solving cases, the department's citywide 535 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 7: case clearance rate is listed at one hundred and one percent. 536 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 7: LAPD says that includes seventy six homicides from prior years 537 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 7: that were cleared out in twenty twenty five. Chief McDonald 538 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 7: puts some of these numbers into context here today while 539 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 7: praising the partnership between the community and law enforcement. 540 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: All right, here's Chief Jim McDonald. LAPD. 541 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 6: Two hundred and thirty homicides is two hundred and thirty 542 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 6: two many. But I go back to nineteen ninety three, 543 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 6: a high we had almost eleven hundred homicides in the 544 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 6: city of La So the reduction there of seventy five 545 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 6: plus percent is something we should be celebrating and building on. 546 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 6: And I think too often the community doesn't appreciate the 547 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 6: partnership that we enjoy with them and the impact that 548 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 6: that has on crime and the success that we can 549 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 6: see as a result. So public safety is a team 550 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 6: sport and we need everybody to be on the team. 551 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 3: Whatever you think of Mayor Baz, whether it's her choice 552 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 3: or not, and you have to think that she's the 553 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 3: one that ultimately makes the decision. Putting Jim McDonald at 554 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 3: the top of that LAPD is probably the best decision 555 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 3: she's made since she's been mayor of the City of LA. 556 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 7: That report also laying out what's still driving violence across 557 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 7: LA and where LAPD says it needs to improve. Homeless 558 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 7: related homicides rose to sixty one. That's a twenty percent 559 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 7: increase there. Gang related homicides were listed at one hundred cases, 560 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 7: down about four percent. On traffic safety, LAPD reports two 561 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 7: hundred and ninety fatal traffic crashes in twenty twenty five. 562 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 4: That's a decline from the year before. 563 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 3: Those are all great stats, so LA turning it around 564 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: crime wise. However, in Orange County, we've got a pretty 565 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: disturbing story coming out of Orange County. A stripper accused 566 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 3: of decapitating her fifty five year old boyfriend. 567 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, this is a case with some disturbing details. A 568 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 8: twenty three year old Anaheim woman has been arrested, accused 569 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 8: of beheading her boyfriend and then fleeing the country. 570 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: However, she was caught last week. 571 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 8: Let's show you a picture of the woman we're talking about, 572 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 8: the suspect in this case. She's been identified as Alisa 573 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 8: lera twenty three years old of Anaheim. We're told she 574 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 8: was working as a stripper when she met a man, 575 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 8: a fifty five year old man Enrique Gonzalez Carba Hall. 576 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: They got into a dating room relationship. 577 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 4: Bad move, bad move. 578 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 8: They dated for a couple of months, but in August 579 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 8: some people got worried. 580 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: Apparently they hadn't seen seen him for a while. 581 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 8: They went to check on him, found that he had 582 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 8: been killed. Police now believed that the killer was his 583 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 8: girlfriend who we showed you there, Alisa Lera, but she 584 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 8: had left for Mexico again. 585 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: This happened in August. 586 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 8: This was at a home at an apartment on La 587 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 8: Palma in Anaheim.
