1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: It's k if.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: on demand on.

4
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 3: The iHeartRadio app. Ding dong with you. I don't know.

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 3: Maybe I have not ding donged you today, but I'm

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 3: doing that now. Yes, yes, yes, yes, the Rams have

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: moved on. Thank god. I would have been in a

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: miserable mood if the Rams went to Carolina and lost,

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: if they lose to Chicago. I like the Bears. I

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: don't mind that. I don't like Seattle. I don't like Sarrancisco.

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't mind if the Denvers win the Super Bowl,

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 3: like Denver, Chicago Steelers, Rams, those old teams. I sort

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: of like that. But if and Seattle's not even bad,

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: I don't mind Seattle. But Sarrancisco, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: I can't do that.

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: I can't do that.

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: All right, we have breaking news, and then we'll talk

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: about the street. But breaking news, the bomb squad with

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 3: a suspicious package. Let's find out how this is affecting

20
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: traffic and who's gotten caught in this thing.

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 5: The vehicle is pulling things out of it.

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: At some it's el Monte.

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: The vehicle is pulling.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 5: Things out of it at some point or at one

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 5: point they did find the device. A Sheriff's Bonds squad

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 5: personnel came over and got that box out. As I

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 5: zoom in here to our live shot here, you can

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 5: see that small box right in the center of your screen.

29
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 4: That's the device in question.

30
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 5: They did a couple of X rays on it, and

31
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 5: now it appears that they might try to explode the

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 5: device here in this dumpster container area. It looks like

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 5: they're setting up to do that. You can see the

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 5: robot making a positioning itself in that area right now.

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 5: But for now, that device they are unclear. It's unclear

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 5: if that device is active or not. But out of

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 5: an abundance of caution, they might be exploding that device.

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 5: But for now, Value Boulevard remains shut down. Let me

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: show you real quick to back up here on Value

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 5: Boulevard from the six oh five freeway, it is a mess.

41
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 5: So if you're driving this way, avoid Valley Boulevard round

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 5: right now west of the six oh five freeway. That's

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 5: the latest overhead up in sky five off.

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: All right west of the six oh five is all

45
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: banged up on Valley. If you got caught up on Valley,

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: you got off the six oh five and went west

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: or basically northwest. Then you are all the way to

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: Garvey Street. You are in solid traffic as a matter

49
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: of fact. Now that's even before then, uh Derfee Durfy

50
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: Street is that street out there? I'm unfamiliar with Durfy Street.

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: That is bad vibes, tremendous bad vibes out there. So

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: how is that affecting traffic around that? Around the Freeway's

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: angel out there now? Mont to anything?

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, the ten is really busy. He found all the

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 6: way from the seven to ten to almost the fifty seven.

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 6: And also Rosemead Boulevard's looking super busy right now as well,

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 6: especially when you come up on Valley Boulevard. Ride in

58
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 6: that stretch all the way to Lower as you said,

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 6: looks pretty pretty slammed in there, and Valley Valley's just solid,

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 6: especially the eastbound side as you continue out towards Santa

61
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 6: Anita Avenue. It's a huge mess right now.

62
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: Okay, all yeah, appreciate the the update.

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 6: Yeah you got it, thank you.

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: All right. Coyotes are everywhere, and I even saw one

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: today on videotape. I wasn't there. Are cruising around Dodger Stadium.

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: A coyote got into Dodger Stadium and is cruising around

67
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: the boxes and the expensive seeds, the cheap seeds, just

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: walking around looking for like a hot dog or something.

69
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 7: You think that you've seen more coyotes popping up recently,

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 7: you are not alone. We've heard from several KETLA five

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 7: viewers who say they've seen them in places they really

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 7: never expected, and they tell us they're getting more and

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 7: more aggressive. Coyotes are being spotted more often across southern California,

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 7: and residents say the animals are getting closer and more aggressive.

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 8: Everyone's having coyote problems.

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 7: Ring doorbell and security camera videos shows coyotes prowling through backyards,

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 7: climbing onto people's roofs, and even wandering inside an apartment building.

78
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: I see him every day in Burma. Every day I

79
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 3: drive home, I see one, two, three, four five coyotes.

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: They can be aggressive, they're not shy.

81
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 7: You may remember this video showing a coyote attack a

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 7: young girl on the front lawn of her home in

83
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 7: Woodland Hills and try to drag her away.

84
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 3: How scary is that coyote grabs your daughter and tries

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: to drag her away, oh Bobo.

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 7: In just last year, a six year old boy was

87
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 7: attacked during his sister's softball game in Carson.

88
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 3: What the hell wildlife experts.

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 7: Say this increase comes is coyote mating season gets underway.

90
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 3: The coyotes are more active, and when they're more active,

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: they require more food, so they're out hunting more.

92
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 7: Coyotes can row miles in search of food and a mate,

93
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 7: often moving through residential neighborhoods.

94
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: You know, I've noticed I've seen a lot of coyotes lately,

95
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 3: and I noticed I haven't seen any skunks in about

96
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: four months. And we used to have a huge skunk

97
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: problem in Burbank every night, having to get up in

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: the middle of the night shut the window because it smelled.

99
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 3: The entire house would would reek with these skunk spraying.

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: But since these coyotes been around gone, I don't know

101
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: whether they killed them or just ran them off scared

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: them off, but there are none anymore.

103
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 7: In Wittier, coyotes killed a woman's husky just steps away

104
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 7: from her home.

105
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 8: Called her to come back in the house. And I

106
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 8: saw her like lay on the ground, and I said

107
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 8: on the grass, and I said camera Gopya, come here,

108
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 8: come here, came here, and she didn't move, and I thought,

109
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 8: that's the name of the dog camera. Gopya, come here,

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 8: come here, GPY camera. Gopya, come here, come here, came here.

111
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the name of the dog camer Glopia camer

112
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: Camier came.

113
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 8: Here camera Glapia, come here, come here, came here. Yeah,

114
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 8: and she didn't move, and I thought that was strange.

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 8: And the one I came out, I was horrified she

116
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 8: was dead, she says.

117
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: Coyote odd Coyotes are vicious.

118
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 7: She says coyotes now appear almost every night on her

119
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 7: security cameras and no longer fear people.

120
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 8: They're just hiding in our bushes here, and people are

121
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 8: not even aware of it. So when they walk their dogs,

122
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 8: a lot of times they just come out and they'll

123
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 8: just grab the dogs.

124
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 7: Experts say feeding wildlife and leaving pet food or water

125
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 7: outside makes coyotes lose their natural fear.

126
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 9: They approach people expecting food.

127
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 4: When they don't get food, they bite that person.

128
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: Oh no, you gotta be careful, Okay. I was unable

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: to download this story because I screwed up and so

130
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: had We had to reload it. But when we come

131
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: back to Hollywood street lights. LA City Council is doing

132
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: something about the Hollywood street lights and we will have

133
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: that story, I promise you when we come back.

134
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 10: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

135
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:02,000

137
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: LA City Council is putting a couple bucks into Hollywood

138
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: street lights. Let's find out where and how many are

139
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: going to be illuminated again, and hopefully it'll make the

140
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 3: area safer.

141
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 11: Nothing to laugh about, because these neighbors here say they

142
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 11: are just frustrated because they've been living with us for months.

143
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: On them, they say, darkness.

144
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 11: In their neighborhood's right in the very heart of Hollywood,

145
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 11: of all places. Mikey take us into the story, will you.

146
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 11: This is a very busy Franklin ab. We're just on

147
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 11: the east side of the Hollywood Freeway, the one oh

148
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 11: one and marl As you say, look how dark it

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 11: is here this street, one, the street after another, darkness all.

150
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 11: There's lots of street lights here, but they're not working.

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 11: They're all dark. To the video, we go check it,

152
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 11: driving down the next block over North Wilton Place. The

153
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 11: only lights you see here the headlights coming at us

154
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 11: and the apartments on both sides that are lit up.

155
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 11: And then you really see a lot of folks here.

156
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 11: They're out walking their dogs in the darkness, but they

157
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 11: have to use flashlights to walk along the sidewalk.

158
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: Just it's a good idea to bring a flashlight anyway,

159
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: so cars can see you.

160
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 11: To walk along the sidewalk, just to see where they're going.

161
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 11: As the city in many neighborhoods over here in Hollywood

162
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 11: reeling with the lack of their broken damage street lights.

163
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 11: A city out today admitting that more than half sixty

164
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 11: percent of their street lights are down just because they

165
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 11: need routine maintenance.

166
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 4: And then you have that continuing problem with the wire.

167
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: What kind of city do we live in, or I

168
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: should say, do you live in where when a street

169
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: light's out, they don't have the money to fix it.

170
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: You pay your property tax, you pay your sales tax,

171
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: your state tax, your income tax, your car fees, your

172
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 3: registration fees, you pay all of that on time. And

173
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: Los Angeles doesn't have money to fix a street light.

174
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: I'll bet if you went to Claremont tonight that you

175
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: could not find one street light that was out. I'll

176
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: bet if you drove around Burbank you'd be hard pressed

177
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: to find one street light that wasn't working. As atter

178
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: of fact, I'm gonna do that tonight. I'm gonna take

179
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: video and I'm gonna try to find a street light

180
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: in Burbank that's not working and I'll check ir okay,

181
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: And I'm hmm. I was gonna say, Steph, who should

182
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: check Hawthorn? But I wouldn't do that either. When I

183
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: went looking for him, they were all out. All the

184
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: street lights were out. That's why scared to death walk

185
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: around trying to find this guy. You know, people are

186
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: smoking weed on the corner with a boom box and

187
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: a boom box and I'm like, hey, having a shoulder,

188
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: have you seen my friend staff O? Classic dam But

189
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: there's street lights out all around you too. Yeah, dark

190
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: as hell those streets.

191
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 11: And then you had that continuing problem with the wire

192
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 11: theft the copper wire a lot of these street lights.

193
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: And make him solar, make the street lights solar, so

194
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: they steal.

195
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 11: The copper wire, damage because the wiring ripped right out

196
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 11: of them, mostly by the homeless.

197
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: The city saying that I mostly by the home.

198
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 4: Right out of them, mostly by the homeless, mostly.

199
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: By the homeless. Some CEOs of fortune five hundred companies, yeah,

200
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: but mostly the homeless. Some millionaires, you know, some tech billionaires,

201
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: some guys were in AI, but mostly the homeless.

202
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 4: Right out of the mostly by the homeless.

203
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 11: The city saying last year was a record amount of

204
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 11: copper wire stolen citywide, adding.

205
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 4: To the problem. And then you talk to the folks

206
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: who have to put up.

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 11: With this all the darkness, and they say it's a

208
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 11: public safety issue, right, And it just keeps going on.

209
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: Week and month and month after month. Listen, plus three

210
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: or four weeks.

211
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 12: It's been often it's been like this dark.

212
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: And I was, it's pitch dark.

213
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 12: Though it's pitch dark, and I thought it was the

214
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 12: city was planning some kind of rationing. That was my assumption.

215
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 12: But it's continuing, so I thought they're rationing. Was planning

216
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 12: some kind of rationing, that was my assumption. But it's continuing,

217
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 12: so I thought they're rushing too much.

218
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: You know, you know where that goes on, bag Dad,

219
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: that's where they ration electricity. Anywhere else it goes on

220
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: North Korea, not in Hollywood. Those street lights are beyond

221
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: every night from sunset to sun rise every night.

222
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 12: But it's continuing, so I thought they're rushing too much.

223
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 11: You know, they're going to put a million dollars in

224
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 11: the finally fix some of the lighting.

225
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: They said, here, a million dollars. How many lights is

226
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: that going to fix? Ten?

227
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 12: Well, it's goodness. A few weeks ago it was like

228
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 12: this and I was attacked by a homeless man with

229
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 12: an iron pipe and he hit my knee. I thought

230
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 12: I was crippled, but it just hit the cart to

231
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 12: list but that happened, But it was dark like that.

232
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 4: It was dark like this.

233
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 12: It came out of nowhere.

234
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: Of course I couldn't see it.

235
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 11: So it was a lot more than just getting the

236
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 11: lights on for people driving.

237
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: And it's the safe a matter of safety.

238
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 11: Right now, you're looking live and as he says, it's

239
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 11: a matter of safety.

240
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 4: One of the many street lights.

241
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 11: Here, Mike's showing you look, it's dark, looks perfectly fine,

242
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 11: but they're just not working. Either they're damage, they need repairs,

243
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 11: or they're broken. City says, with this million dollars, earmark

244
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 11: this area Marls, specifically Hollywood, they're going to get a

245
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 11: lot of these blocks up lit again.

246
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: We'll just have to see.

247
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 11: As the one Roberta, one of the neighbors, was telling us,

248
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 11: he says, it sounds good they're putting some money into it,

249
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 11: but just how long is it going to take?

250
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna stay on high alert. I

251
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: don't think you'll notice the difference at all.

252
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: We'll have to wait and see.

253
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 11: And I'm curious, since you've been out there for hours now,

254
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 11: obviously since the sun has set, have you what's it

255
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 11: been like?

256
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,479
Speaker 3: Have you witnessed any close calls?

257
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 11: We've actually seen and it's kind of scary, you know,

258
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 11: as Mikey will give you a look down some of

259
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 11: these the sidewalks, you'd see, you know, folks going out

260
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 11: and to be frank with you, a lot of young

261
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 11: ladies going out and Hollywood are going out to have

262
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 11: fun on a Friday night.

263
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: Like young ladies do you know they go out on

264
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: a Friday night and have fun those young ladies.

265
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 11: To be frank with you, a lot of young ladies

266
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 11: going out and Hollywood are going out to have fun

267
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 11: on a Friday night. And they be walking down these

268
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 11: sidewalks and all of a sudden, you see some guy

269
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 11: you know.

270
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,599
Speaker 3: Maybe at the metal pipe or an iron pipe. You know,

271
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 3: maybe down the street, you know, seeing some near dow.

272
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 11: Well, you know, maybe about three four, five six feet

273
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 11: behind walking behind them in total darkness, and you got

274
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 11: to think, you know, I actually kind of say a prayer,

275
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 11: and you say, just a hope they're going to be safe,

276
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 11: because it's that threatening.

277
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: Over in this area is where that bus.

278
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 11: Stop was that we were going to show you at

279
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 11: ten o'clock tonight in the next half hour in our story,

280
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 11: And the folks were waiting in that bus stop waiting

281
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 11: for the bus to come by in total darkness. So

282
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 11: again you gotta wonder, as a lot of folks have

283
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 11: been saying here, it's really come down to a matter

284
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 11: of public safety.

285
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: Now, where are we in life where Hollywood is a

286
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: big tourist attraction and they're just simply looking for the

287
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: street lights, the effing street lights to be on. That's

288
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: a really simple ask for the city council. You know,

289
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: they're not asking for free apartments or free cars or

290
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: free cell phones. They just say, can you turn the

291
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: street lights on? So maybe we can't get we won't

292
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: be killed by the next CEO that walks behind that is.

293
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 4: Scary to see.

294
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 12: And you do say a prayer when you see a

295
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 12: scene like.

296
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: That play out.

297
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 12: Hope it ends well, yeah.

298
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: All right, ed, thank you so much. There he goes,

299
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: all right, well, we'll see how that works out. A

300
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: million dollars probably fixed, I don't know, maybe twenty street lights,

301
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: maybe thirty maximum And what is that going to do.

302
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: They'll just steal the copper wiring again and they'll go

303
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: dark again. So until they can put solar in there

304
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: and those led lights, it's over. And they're not going

305
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: to do that, And so you're going to have to

306
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 3: decide is La worth living in when they can't give

307
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: you the simplest service in the world turn the lights on.

308
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: They can't do that. Unreal.

309
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 10: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

310
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 10: AM six forty.

311
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: A Los Angeles County Sheriff, I guess a deputy, not

312
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: the sheriff, went to Starbucks. You know Starbucks. They write

313
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: on the c up, you know, good choice, have fun,

314
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: see you later, smiley face, thumbs up, exclamation point. They're

315
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: told to put something on the cup, to write something

316
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: on the cup, and somebody drew a picture of a pig.

317
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: And gave it to a police officer, and he was

318
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: saying he came up with some excuse. He was just

319
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: doing John Pork or Johnny Pork, which is a meme

320
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: that's going around, and he said he didn't mean to

321
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: do that. But Starbucks, I guess fired this cat over it.

322
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: So let's find out where this happened here.

323
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 9: The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is speaking out after

324
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 9: a Starbucks for reesa served one of its deputies a

325
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 9: cup of coffee with a hand drawn image of a

326
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 9: pig on it. The incident happened Friday at a Starbucks

327
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 9: in Norwalk, in the middle of the deputy's sixteen hour shift.

328
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 9: He says he found the hand drawn pig a quote

329
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 9: discouraging and disrespectful. Sheriff's officials also called the in an

330
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 9: extremely offensive and unacceptable. Speaking to KTLA, a Starbucks spokesperson

331
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 9: condemn the employee's actions, but says the drawing appears to

332
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 9: be a popular meme not associated with law enforcement. The

333
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 9: store as manager says the incident is now under investigation.

334
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: All right, and I know the Starbucks where this happened.

335
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 3: If it's the one, I think it's on I think

336
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: it's on Firestone or what. I still call it Manchester

337
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: because I'm old school, but I think it was Firestone

338
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: and Pioneer. Yeah, I think that's the Starbucks on Pioneer. Yeah,

339
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: Pioneer and Firestone, or as I call it, Manchester. You know,

340
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: I'm old school. Manchester used to be the name of

341
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: that street from the Ocean all the way practically to

342
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: Orange County. And then when they opened up Firestone Tire Company,

343
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: they renamed it after Firestone because that was the first

344
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: big tire company that was open here since you know,

345
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 3: west of Ohio. I think they were only big factory

346
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 3: was in Ohio. And they opened up a Firestone tire

347
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: manufacturing company here and they renamed Manchester Firestone. But I

348
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: know that whole area. I used to drive a limousine

349
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: and one of the companies that I worked for was

350
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: right in that neighborhood. You know, it's got your TJ Max.

351
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: There's the Starbucks nearby. I'm sorry, there's a Costco nearby.

352
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: It's got all the you know, essentials for people like

353
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: me who love to you know, pay retail for everything.

354
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 3: But that's a cool area. That drive through Starbucks there

355
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: and that lad has been dismissed. Maybe it was mistake,

356
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, but companies aren't are so quick to

357
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: act now when something like this happens. They just wanted

358
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: to go away. Do you remember the Hampton It was

359
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: the Hampton in I think it was in Illinois or

360
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: Minnesota where I think I think it was outside Chicago, Illinois,

361
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: and they said, if you're a member of ICE that

362
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 3: they canceled your reservation and you're no longer welcome at

363
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: the hotel. It was called Hampton Inn and the Hampton

364
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: Hampton Inns are owned by the Hiltons, the Hilton family

365
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: and the Hilton family. They're closed, they're Republican, they're close

366
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: with President Trump. And two days after that happened, what

367
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: did you see? You saw a crane outside of the

368
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: Hampton Inn taking that sign down and told the guy

369
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: who owns that it was owned an operator hotel, not

370
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 3: part it was part of the Hilton chain, but that

371
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: particular hotel was owned by a couple and they used

372
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: the Hampton Inn as as their you know, syndicated name

373
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 3: or whatever. So the Hilton rented a crane went to

374
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: that Hampton end and took that sign down and said

375
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: you're on your own. Companies are very very quick to

376
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: act when something like this happens. They don't want it

377
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: to linger, and they don't want any bad publicity, especially

378
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: when it comes to law enforcement. The amount of law

379
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 3: enforcement that goes to that Starbucks and Starbucks in California

380
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: is through the roof. They love when cops come in

381
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 3: because people behave when the cops are in the store.

382
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: And the last thing what they want to do is

383
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 3: to piss off cops and firemen and paramedics. And so

384
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: as soon as that happened, they let the lad go.

385
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 3: I don't know where he went, but that is not

386
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: going to happen at Starbucks, all right. LA Fire Department

387
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 3: fired trucks. More than one hundred fire trucks with La

388
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 3: Fire Department are and ambulances we're out of service. You

389
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: would think a year after the fire Department took all

390
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: that heat that they would do everything they can to

391
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 3: take any kind of stink off of them.

392
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 13: Last year we first showed you what's called the boneyard.

393
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 13: It's the maintenances facility for the.

394
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 4: La Fire Department.

395
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 13: One city council member told us some vehicles sat there

396
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 13: so long weed would actually grow underneath the tires.

397
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: Wow.

398
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 13: Well, since then we wanted to see where the fleet

399
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 13: stands by looking at the raw numbers.

400
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: Okay, let's take a look at the boneyard one year

401
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: after we discovered Let's see if the fire department put

402
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 3: these put these engines back into service.

403
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: Just crazy hot spots everywhere.

404
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 13: As the Palancy's fire burned out of control under hurricane

405
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 13: force wins, some people chose to stay in fight.

406
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: Your house is still standing, so is fine.

407
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 13: Court Wagner picked up garden hoses to take a stand

408
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 13: against the flames himself.

409
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: I had all hoses running at every house here, six hoses.

410
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: Running two of that house, one two, three, four seven total.

411
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 13: Wow, why did you choose to pick up your garden homes?

412
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: We're on our own guys, running his own fire department.

413
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 13: Out there, you were looking at dozens of LAFD apparatus.

414
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 13: Last year, we obtained a public records that showed more

415
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 13: than one hundred Lacit Fire Department trucks, engines, and ambulances

416
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 13: had been out of service and needing repair.

417
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: Wait how many?

418
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 13: We obtained a public records that showed more than one

419
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 13: hundred Lacit Fire Department trucks, engines and ambulances had been

420
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 13: out of service and needing repair. Through a records request,

421
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 13: we recently got new data on the department's fleet.

422
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 3: Okay, so last year one hundred we're out of service, engines, trucks,

423
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: Ambulancell's find out if they've corrected that.

424
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 13: On January seventh of last year, the day the Palisades

425
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 13: fire broke out, there were two hundred fifty two fire

426
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 13: engines and trucks or heavy apparatus available to respond to calls,

427
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 13: and two hundred and seventeen ambulances in the total fleet.

428
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 13: But according to LAFD data last month, the heavy apparatus

429
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 13: count was down to two forty and ambulances two oh seven,

430
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 13: drops of nearly five percent in both categories.

431
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 3: It got worse. It's worse than it was last year.

432
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean emore.

433
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 13: In November, Chief at Jimmie Moore was sworn in as

434
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 13: the new head of the departments following leadership changes brought

435
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 13: on by the handling of the Palisades fire. More acknowledges

436
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 13: the department needs more equipment, but says he has to

437
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 13: manage within his means while the city faces a budget

438
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 13: crisis following.

439
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 3: Why is La always in a budget crisis? I know

440
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 3: they have lawsuits and the police department's expensive, fire department's expensive,

441
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 3: But how do other cities do it? How do other

442
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 3: cities manage the fire department, manage the police department, keep

443
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: the street lights on? If I running the city of La,

444
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 3: I would take my top fifty guys and gals and

445
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: let them walk around Burbank for a week, for two

446
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: weeks and interview the people who run Burbank. How does

447
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 3: Burbank do it? All the street lights are on, all

448
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: the fire trucks are working, all the cops are getting paid,

449
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: and there's no crisis. How is that possible? That La,

450
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: with that tax base and those million dollar homes that

451
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: are everywhere. You know, some people paying one hundred and

452
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars a year in property tax and they

453
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: can't keep the street lights on.

454
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 13: Following one of the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in

455
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 13: California history, the department says it has received three new

456
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 13: fire engines, with three more expected to arrive in the

457
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 13: next few weeks. We wanted to ask the chief why.

458
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 9: Right now if fire engine's about a two year weight,

459
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 9: when we order a fire engine.

460
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 13: He also says some of the fire engines and trucks

461
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 13: in the department's aging fleet are so old original ports

462
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 13: are impossible to find. We're putting about forty on the average,

463
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 13: forty thousand miles a year on a fire engine.

464
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 3: Okay, that's not you know, a billions. It seems reasonable.

465
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: Forty thousand miles a year. Most people drive twenty twenty

466
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: five thousand.

467
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 5: The average person drives fourteen thousand miles a year.

468
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, not in LA. I think if you

469
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: live in LA or Orange County, I know Bellio, you

470
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: drive one hundred miles a day, So that's four or

471
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: five hundred miles a week. Two thousand, you're driving twenty

472
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 3: four thousand miles to and from work. I mean that

473
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with weekend or trips or anything

474
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 3: you might take. Yeah, so you're probably putting thirty thousand miles. Yes,

475
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 3: on the car. Yes, you're like a fire engine. You

476
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: drive like a fire truck. That's kind of cool.

477
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 8: Yeah.

478
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 13: The union that represents firefighters says the problem is evident

479
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 13: at this fire station bay in South LA and many

480
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 13: others because of previous department.

481
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: Easily, LA's got to get it together at some point,

482
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: either they got to change management or the mayor or

483
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 3: the people that run the city of La. They're not

484
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 3: doing their job. They can't keep the street lights on,

485
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: the fire trucks aren't rolling, the ambulances are stock. They're

486
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: not doing a great job. And if you're running a

487
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: company in La, the City of La is a big company,

488
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: you would change management if they weren't doing great job.

489
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: Look at the NFL. I think nine or ten coaches

490
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 3: were fired because they weren't winning. Well, La is not winning.

491
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: They need new management and you better get it quick

492
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: before this thing spirals and property values go in the

493
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: toilet and that vicious circle starts. And that's already starting

494
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 3: to happen. So if you live in La, you got

495
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: a voice. You got it voice, you got to use it.

496
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: You've got to be loud and make changes because you're

497
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: going to lose your property value if you don't.

498
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 10: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

499
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 10: AM six.

500
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: Crime Caught Crime was thwarted when suspects barricade themselves inside

501
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 3: a handbag store. Irvine cops said they caught them pretty quickly.

502
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 3: Really a bad place to do crime Irvine, a lot

503
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: of cops and great equipment, state of the art equipment.

504
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: They have very little to do because it is so

505
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: safe that if you go down to Irvine to commit crimes,

506
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 3: you're going to get caught. I've been saying this for

507
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: twenty five years on the radio, twenty five years. Don't

508
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: go to Irvine and create mischief or steal. They'll catch

509
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 3: you and they'll throw you in jail for literally since

510
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six. Okay, so this December, it'll be thirty years.

511
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 3: And yet people still do it all the time, and

512
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: guess what, they get caught. Here's another example of guys

513
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: that didn't listen to meals it's an ending.

514
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 14: Most store owners don't usually get the crooks caught and

515
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 14: all of the merchandise returned.

516
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: Wow, and where was this Irvine. Yeah, they didn't listen

517
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 3: to me. Don't steal s in Irvine. Don't steal crap

518
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: in Irvine. You're gonna get caught returned.

519
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 14: And for a business that's been hit three times in

520
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 14: the last several months, they are just so thankful for

521
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 14: the quick response from police.

522
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 11: Come out with your hands up all the way out, all.

523
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 3: The way out, or you're gonna get it. I haven't

524
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: heard that in a long time. Come out of your

525
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 3: hands up. It's like an old Western Come.

526
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 15: Out with your hands up all the way out, all

527
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 15: the way out, or you're gonna get there.

528
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 14: In the age of organized crime and massive smash and grabs,

529
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 14: the crooks in this case not able to get away.

530
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: It was like a drama.

531
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 3: You would have thought that came from a movie.

532
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 12: But it was real.

533
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 14: Like Tammy Fan, the CEO of Luxe d Jore, a

534
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 14: luxury handbag store, praising Irvine PD's immediate response after a

535
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 14: security guard notice something suspicious night on Tuesday.

536
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 3: They roamed around and then they knew exactly which bags

537
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 3: to go go steal.

538
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 14: With one hundred thousand dollars worth of luxury items in hand,

539
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 14: you see them peek out the back door.

540
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 15: These guys thought they were getting to clean get away,

541
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 15: and as they start to exit, they realized that they

542
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 15: had been discovered.

543
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 14: Irvine PD had the buildings surrounded within minutes and then

544
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 14: called in an I in the sky a drone.

545
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: There you go. You got drones, you got helicopters and

546
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: a lot of cops with nothing to do, and you're

547
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: gonna steal crap and Irvine, how dumb are you?

548
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 14: From their neighbors.

549
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 15: At the time, we did not have an operator on duty,

550
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 15: so yeah, we phoned a friend, which was the Coast

551
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 15: Mason Police Department.

552
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 14: The two suspects were treated inside hiding out for hours.

553
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 14: Then it was time to let the dogs out.

554
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, who let the dogs out? They got a lot

555
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: of dogs in Irvine too. They'll come in and bite you.

556
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 14: To let the dogs out right out.

557
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 7: All he could hear on the intercom was surrender now,

558
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 7: or we're releasing the dogs, and the dogs will bite.

559
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: And once the dog bites you. I learned this from

560
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: a friend of mine who used to be the bomb

561
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 3: Squab Gouy named Johnny Hansen, Once the dog bites onto you,

562
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: it's almost impossible even for the trainer or the dog's

563
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: handler to get that dog off you. They've got to

564
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 3: really struggle to get that dog off you. It really

565
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: will bite and chew and break your arm and break

566
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: your bust your veins. It really does a lot of damage.

567
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: And while that dog is flipping his head around, more

568
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: damage is being done. And sometimes you may lose a

569
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: finger or an arm, or even a leg or a

570
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: foot over what handbags. That's worth it.

571
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Two And I'm.

572
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 7: Over there like, oh, I hope they release it.

573
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 3: That's great. She said that out loud.

574
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm over there like, oh, I hope they released it.

575
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: I hope they released the dogs. That's class.

576
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: I hope they release.

577
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 14: Now the crooks are eventually caught in cuffed or vine.

578
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 14: PD says this case should send a strong message.

579
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 3: It's not gonna send a message. I've been saying for

580
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 3: thirty years. Don't commit crimes. And a lot of Orange

581
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 3: County they'll nail you. Newport's another one data point, san Clementing.

582
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 3: Is that enough? Is that enough? All those cities down there,

583
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 3: they have a lot of cops, say to the art equipment, drones, helicopters,

584
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 3: cameras everywhere, and they'll nail you.

585
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: You can't come to reminding commit crime. You can expect

586
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: to go to jail.

587
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 3: Okay. I've been saying that for thirty years, thirty years,

588
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 3: and people don't listen to me. I don't know if

589
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: this is guy the chief or this guy's a cop.

590
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: You can't come to reminding commit crime. You can expect

591
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: to go to jail.

592
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 3: Okay. Keep that in mind, criminals, you know you gotta

593
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: be smart.

594
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: You can't come to reminding commit crime. You can expect to.

595
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 8: Go to jail.

596
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 14: Lux du Jour has been a target with break ins

597

598
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,600

599
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,920
