And I don't see 86 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: there are any stopping her there. 87 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 1: There is nothing, nothing that stops you from getting approved 88 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: in the Biden administration. 89 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 3: Would you hire somebody? Would you hire somebody. 90 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: Who blew thirty billion dollars just out of laziness because 91 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: she couldn't be bothered. 92 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: This is not an ideological issue here. This is just 93 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 3: she was too. 94 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: Lazy to enforce the fraud mechanisms that should have been 95 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: in place. 96 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 3: So we're reading from California Globe. 97 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: His name is John KABATEC he's the California State director 98 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: for the National Federation of Independent Businesses. He says, as 99 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: it stands now, small business owner's wife to dig deeper 100 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: and pay an additional four hundred and twenty dollars per 101 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 2: employee per year because the state drove the unemploy i 102 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: Fund into bankruptcy by shuttering small businesses, the state drove 103 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: California consumers to big box stores. In tandem with this funneling, 104 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 2: those same corporations were able to borrow vast amounts of 105 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: available business loans. Record profits ensued. He thinks the state 106 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: to possibly write this problem governor knewso should at a minimum, 107 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: backfill the unemployment fund by taking money obviously from the 108 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: state's budget affordable app that doesn't happen, then they're gonna 109 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 2: have to charge the small businesses. Well, it's a extra 110 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: unemployment tax money four hundred and twenty dollars. 111 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 3: I think per employee, per year. 112 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: Per employee per year for every small business, four hundred 113 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: and twenty dollars. 114 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: Am if you have like just ten people working for you. 115 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 2: Because forty two hundred. 116 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: Dollars Julie Sue was too stupid and lazy to enforce 117 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: fraud protocols. 118 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 3: All right, how do you how do you give. 119 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: Away thirty billion dollars to fraudsters? How do you do that? 120 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: She got up every day and went to work, and 121 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: every day tens of millions of dollars was going out 122 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: the door. Every day, they were mailing out tens of 123 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to fraudsters or transferring the money to 124 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: their bank accounts every day. 125 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: That's what she did. And now she's going to be 126 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: the Labor secretary. 127 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: Seventy percent of that thirty billion in fraud was believed 128 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: to have been filed by criminal organizations. It is monetary 129 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: and criminal, a debacle on a scale not seen in 130 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: the United States. No, and we said that at the time. 131 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: We said that number is incredible. And I still think 132 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: that they'd maybe an underestimate. 133 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure it is. 134 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 2: But and he writes here, there were no sweating government 135 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: officials questioned in public about why one hundred and thirty 136 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: three death row in mats receive benefits, or if cartels 137 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: were involved, or why fraud red flags were removed from 138 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: multiple applications. There was some chatter and sacrament about owning 139 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: it and aggressively going after criminals committed fraud, but owning 140 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: it morphed into blaming the Trump administration and aggressively going 141 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: after criminals turned into championing themselves. You said that they 142 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: caught a criminal who applied and received unemployment benefits in 143 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: the name of convicted murderer Scott Peterson. So they got 144 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: the one guy that pretended he was Scott Peterson. 145 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: You need you sent out the money. Trump didn't send 146 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: out the money. 147 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: You did. 148 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: Julie Sue was running the department that sent out the 149 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: thirty billion dollars. And now if you own a business, 150 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,119 Speaker 1: you have to make up the debt. 151 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, because this is how it works. The federal government 152 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: actually starts all this. They play the role of the 153 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: state's disperser. And the amount is twenty billion dollars. So 154 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: California is going to have to pay that back to 155 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: the federal government. And these are the ways they're gonna 156 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: have to do it, either by making the small businesses 157 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: pay more per employee per year or by having Newsom 158 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: in the legislature do something. But we're in a deficit 159 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: coming up, they're probably not going. 160 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: To do anything. 161 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: Newsham didn't care either, I mean, he hired Julie Sue, 162 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: and it was it was in the news constantly about 163 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the thirty billion going out the door. 164 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: Remember Newsom of this story we haven't mentioned lately. He 165 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: did not he blocked access to prisoner's social security numbers. 166 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: He thought that was some invasion of privacy. Yeah, and 167 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: that was the way they could have found out that 168 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: this applicant is a prisoner. 169 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 170 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: So they chose to blow the money.

That's the link here. According to the research, 219 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: it happens when. 220 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 3: You have a lot of rain. 221 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: But we knew this that trees absorb CO two right 222 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: where we talked about that usually it wasn't the idea 223 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: behind offsetting your carbon. 224 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot more flowers blooming. I think everybody is 225 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: familiar with the super blooms that are all over southern California. 226 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: There's a lot of flowers blooming from bushes in my 227 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: front yard that I've never seen before. 228 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: We've had the bushes, you know, for fifteen years. That's 229 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 3: the rain. 230 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: I had no idea that some of these bushes sprouted 231 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: these beautiful, delicate little pink flowers, pink and white flowers 232 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: all over the place, right outside the front door. 233 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: And now when I leave. 234 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: The house, I go outside the door, immediately it starts sneezing, 235 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: like my head's. 236 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: Gonna come off. 237 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: It's because these stupid pink flowers, which weren't But it 238 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: was the rainiest year we've had in fifteen years. 239 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: Nothing all right, Now we turn to a good one 240 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: here on the John and Ken Show. The idea that 241 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: a lot of our problems is when it comes to 242 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: crime and security issues don't have to be solved by 243 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: armed police officers anymore. All we need is an ambassador. 244 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: I have a little jack that says ambassador on it, 245 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: and they'll be out there. There'll be the eyes and 246 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: ears to see what's going on, and maybe they can 247 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: bring down the hostility levels. And well, we go to 248 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: West Hollywood. We have this report to play for you. 249 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 2: This is a report from Lori Perez k col News 250 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 2: about a big fight in West Hollywood which has people 251 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 2: in the neighborhood concerned that these street ambassadors. And by 252 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: the way, West Hollywood's the one that remember they dawn, 253 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: They cut back on sheriff's deputies and they went for 254 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 2: the security ambassadors instead. 255 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: Right here we go. 256 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 5: Take a look as two guys go after each other 257 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 5: on the street in West Hollywood, and then notice the 258 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 5: other two guys block by block ambassadors watching it play 259 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 5: out without stepping in. Depending on who you ask, this 260 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 5: either shows the city's security program working or as a 261 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 5: than Reynolds, who took the video thanks. 262 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 3: I was like, ooh, this doesn't look too good. 263 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 5: It shows it failing. The video does appear to show 264 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 5: one of the ambassadors on a phone or walkie talkie, 265 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 5: maybe calling for help. And if that's the case, the 266 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 5: Mayor's office told me that's exactly what's expected to happen. 267 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 5: But Reynolds says anyone can call nine to one one. 268 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 6: If the block byke ambassadors are not empowered to go 269 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 6: to mitigate situations like this, which do seem to occur 270 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 6: often in West Hollywood. It truly does give us a 271 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 6: false sense of security, and I think that's extremely frustrating 272 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 6: as a resident. 273 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 5: It's lingering frustration for some Last June, with some controversy, 274 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 5: the city council voted to reduce the number of deputies 275 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 5: and has since been steadily increasing the number of unarmed 276 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 5: security ambassadors. 277 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: There are now. 278 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 5: Eighty five in Rehalth, and we did spot them all over. 279 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 5: But some locals say last year the city saw violent 280 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 5: crime spike, a fatal shooting at an upscale apartment complex, 281 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 5: a terrifying follow home, a blatant street robbery, and some 282 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 5: say this kind of response. 283 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 7: You look at it and you can go Jesus, come on, 284 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 7: jump in there. Do something doesn't seem quite Whatever the 285 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 7: policy is that's in place that made them react, the 286 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 7: way that they reacted has to be changed. 287 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 5: The mayor's office directed us to the city's website for 288 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 5: the policy. It clarifies the role as, among other things, 289 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 5: conducting safety escorts and responding to non violent calls. And 290 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 5: some agree there is value to a uniformed presence. 291 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: It's kind of like chicken soup. It doesn't hurt. 292 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: The more eyes watching, the better off we are. 293 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 5: But Reynolds says nowadays eyes and ears aren't enough. 294 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 6: If it's just a secondary step for providing true intervention, 295 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 6: I just don't see the point. 296 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 5: And West Hollywood's mayor has told me in the past 297 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 5: it's about getting boots on the ground to de escalate 298 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 5: situations out The. 299 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 3: Word is de escalated, right. 300 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: You know what, when you have a real violent action 301 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: occurring in front of your eyes, being an ambassador is 302 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: completely useless, completely useless. You have a phone, everybody's got 303 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: a phone. You're gonna have no effect. You need an 304 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: officer with a gun that stops it. Most people back down. 305 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: If an officer shows up and they can see he's 306 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: armed most. 307 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: Of the time, that'll end it. Not a guy with 308 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: a walkie talkie calling in. 309 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on my walkie talkie. 310 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: Immediately, I'm gonna tell mother on you. I'm making a call. 311 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: That is so ridiculous. 312 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: And so what happens I fight gets out of control, 313 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: No one's gonna stop it. 314 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 3: It's just gonna get crazier. You know. 315 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: Next fight, more people are gonna jump in because nobody's 316 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: gonna stop them. This is this ambassador nonsense. It's like 317 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: a cult. Oh we have ambassad Metro has ambassadors, right, yes, yes, 318 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: Metro has all. 319 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: Kinds of yes, having more stampings and that's right. 320 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: People are getting set on fire on Metro trains, but 321 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: we have ambassadors. This that is the most feeble response, 322 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: foolish response. Possible. You need a big guy with a 323 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: gun and a uniform and a baton. You need weapons 324 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: that can cause real damage. 325 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I there's no other way to do it. 326 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: This is all part of the defund the police movement, right. 327 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: This is they want to mental health people to answer calls, 328 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: and they want ambassadors to be on the streets. 329 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: It's all those silly words. Well, we have to have alternatives. 330 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: We have to have where they use de escalation, We 331 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: have to use de escalation, de escalation tactics, we have 332 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: to we have to have non violent alternatives. No, when 333 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: someone's engaging in violence, you have to have the of 334 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: worse violence to get him to stop. That's the only thing. 335 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: There's no alternatives to this. 336 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 2: When we return, it's one awful, amazing story. We're going 337 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: to be talking to Attorney Brian Claypool. He had a 338 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: press conference today. It's a landmark settlement with the city 339 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: of Santa Monica in connection with the childhood sexual abuse 340 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: of one hundred and twenty four people, although we think 341 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: there might even be two hundred victims. It's a man 342 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: that worked for decades as a volunteer with what they 343 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: call a Police Activities League in Santa Monica and apparently 344 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: he would use his access to children, mostly immigrant boys, 345 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: to sexually abuse them. And time went on, some complaints 346 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 2: were made, all ignored. This guy went on to abuse 347 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 2: these kids. I mean he started in nineteen eighty nine. 348 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: So it's resulted in a huge payout by the city 349 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: of Santa Monica, which is now exceeded one hundred and 350 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 2: twenty million dollars. 351 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: We'll talk to Brian Claypool about it. 352 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 2: Coming up next, Johnny KENKFIAM six forty Live everywhere iHeartRadio app. 353 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 354 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 355 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: I misspoke before the break. 356 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: Santa Monica has settled more lawsuits dealing with a particular 357 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 2: story of sex abuse, a total payout of two hundred 358 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 2: and twenty nine point two eighty five million, the most 359 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: costly single perpetrator sex abuse dispersement for any municipality in 360 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 2: the state.

Who can talk more 368 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: about this is the man who represented some of the 369 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: victims and talked about it as at a news conference today, 370 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 2: Brian Claypole, attorney.

How did this guy get away with this 376 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: for so long? If you're molesting you know, well over 377 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: one hundred young boys, somebody, some other adults must have noticed. 378 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 8: Yeah, this is one of the most staggering and shocking 379 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 8: situations I've ever seen. Why because this guy, at the 380 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 8: end of nineteen eighty nine, he's hired I think as 381 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 8: a dispatch operator for the city and then he became 382 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 8: the head it guy into you know, information technology for 383 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 8: the entire city of Santa Monica.

He would wear that polo shirt that 388 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 8: says the city of Santa Monica. He had a badge 389 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 8: on that looked like a police badge. In his car, 390 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 8: he had a radio transmitter, you know, like they used 391 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 8: back then, you know, when there's calls made. A couple 392 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 8: of the victims said they saw a gun in his compartment. 393 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 8: He had a key nine dog that he walked around with, right, 394 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 8: and he told all these kids at the program, I'm 395 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 8: a cop. And why did he do that? Because he 396 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 8: was able to groom them and then and then molest 397 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 8: a lot of them. How did he do that? What 398 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 8: he would do is after after like a sports game, 399 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 8: like at six seven o'clock at night, Hey kids, let's 400 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 8: go get some Tito's tacos or something to eat. He'd 401 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 8: round up some of the kids in his and by 402 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 8: the way, an undercover police car as Crown Victoria's, remember, 403 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 8: and then the undercover suv vans. 404 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: He used as well. 405 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 8: So these kids all he's a cop. He starts taking 406 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 8: them for food and then drives them home, and then 407 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 8: the last kid that he's dropping off, he would molest, 408 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 8: like in an alley near the home. And then he 409 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 8: threatened these kids and say, if you say anything, you 410 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 8: know I'm coming after you. I'm gonna harm your family. 411 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 8: I'm gonna get your parents deported. And then one of 412 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 8: the other things he did that was just horrible is 413 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 8: he would tell these kids that were playing sports, you 414 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 8: need to get a physical, and of course these kids 415 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 8: are like, I don't really know what that is. What 416 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 8: is it. He's like, well, let me take care of it, 417 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 8: and they drive them to his dad's medical office in 418 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 8: Santa Monica and he would molest, sodomize the kids in 419 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 8: the medical office there. It's just horrible. 420 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: And it says here that apparently there was an investigation 421 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: between nineteen ninety one and nineteen ninety three, a Santa 422 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 2: Monica police sergeant became suspicious. 423 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 8: YEA, so well, I'm aware of at these three reports 424 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 8: that were made during this timeframe. I know. The only 425 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 8: times is doing a deeper dive and they've come up 426 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 8: with some even more reports that were made. But make 427 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 8: no mistake about it, the PELP program and the City 428 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 8: of Santa Monica were nice back in the early nineteen nineties, 429 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 8: like you're saying, that's when one of the first reports 430 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 8: came out that he was inappropriate with some of the. 431 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 3: Boys, So why not kick him out of these programs? 432 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 8: But dude, let's go one step further than that. Let's 433 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 8: let's give the city the benefit. Let's see even if 434 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 8: they didn't have a report, Mate, I hope your listeners 435 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 8: realize that the law in California for sex abuses either 436 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 8: a school or an after school program like this, it's 437 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 8: either they knew or should have known. They don't even 438 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 8: have to have actual knowledge. But when a guy is 439 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 8: shilling up, when he's showing up at your after school 440 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 8: program with vulnerable, underserved kids, and he's wearing an effing 441 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 8: outfit that looks like a cop, why did nobody at 442 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 8: that program say something like why are. 443 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: You nol that no police officers got wind that there 444 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: was a guy at the at the pal events. 445 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: Who's who's telling all the kids he's a cop? 446 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 8: No, they knew, That's a great No. They knew. They knew, 447 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 8: And that's why I was demanding. I'm demanding an independent investigation. 448 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 8: Why have none of the police officers that were on duty. 449 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 8: Why wasn't the chief of police investigated? Why are there 450 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 8: no criminal repercussions. Let me just tell you point blank. 451 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 8: One of my clients looked the two police officers in 452 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 8: the face in the early nineties and said, what quote, 453 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 8: why are you letting mister Uller do what he's doing 454 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 8: to these boys? And you know what the cops said 455 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 8: to my thirteen year old client, He said, if you 456 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 8: bring that up again, I'm going to kick you out 457 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 8: of this program. That's how they handled it. So knew 458 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 8: what was going on. 459 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to protect the program totally, which is what 460 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: they do at every school, every church, every boy Scout organization. 461 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: They want to protect the program. But why didn't they 462 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: make him disappear even if they didn't want to go 463 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: public with the whole mess? Why not just say, look, 464 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: we know what you're doing, get out. We don't see 465 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: your face again. 466 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 8: Well, I have a theory on that, and I will 467 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 8: tell you. I've talked to a former police officer that 468 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 8: worked in the city of Sanama when Uller was there, 469 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 8: and his theory, and I agree with this theory, is 470 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 8: that Aller had access to everything. Think about it, guys, 471 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 8: Any messages that are sent any emails that are sent 472 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 8: internally with the city, anything said by police officers, for example, 473 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 8: you know while they're in the car. It's like this guy. 474 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 8: What I've learned is people in the city Sannamaka were 475 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 8: terrified of Eric Aller because he held the key to 476 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 8: everything they were talking about. And I think a lot 477 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 8: of people in the police department within the city were 478 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 8: worried that he might have some dirt on them, and 479 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 8: they treated this guy like a king. He got in 480 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 8: two thousand and two, when he was still molesting boys 481 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 8: at pal the City of Anamonica gave him and a 482 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 8: work for the best employee of the City of Santa Monica. 483 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 3: Go figure, Wow, that's that. 484 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 2: He was awarded police Civilian Employee of the Year and 485 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: got a standing ovation. 486 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 8: Yeah so yeah, there it was. 487 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: So they knew he was he was molesting these kids, 488 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: but they also knew everything they had said and written 489 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: that he might have a record of. 490 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 3: And so they were all compromised. 491 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: This didn't unravel, it says, until twenty eighteen, and then 492 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 2: he killed himself.
