But we're here today 33 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: with some successes, and I think a lot of that 34 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: is because of the partnerships that we have with the 35 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: people behind us. So, just to start off, our homicide 36 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: investigators are still working very hard as they were yesterday 37 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: through the night and today. This is a very complex investigation. 38 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: There's so many other things we don't know, but as 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: I told you, yesterday when we started, or when we 40 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: get more information, we'll be happy to bring it forth 41 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: as we get it.

I think some of this information may 47 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: have gotten out the last several hours, but I do 48 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: regret to inform everybody that we did, unfortunately have an 49 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: eleventh victim that passed away.

These are three people who 60 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: aren't with us anymore, three families who will never be 61 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: the same, and we have to remember that as we're 62 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: talking about these. At the end of the day, it 63 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: truly should be about the victims and their families, and 64 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: the support and love, our prayers, our thoughts should be 65 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: with all of them as we move forward. So it's 66 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: most of you are aware. Last night we served a 67 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: search warrant at the suspect's residence in the city of Hemmett. 68 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: As a result of the search warrant, service investigators recovered 69 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: a few items of interest, and these are just it's 70 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: a summary, not everything we recovered. We recovered one three 71 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: o eight caliber rifle, numerous electronic devices such as cell phones, 72 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: com etc. Items that lead us to believe the suspect 73 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: was manufacturing homemade firearm suppressors an unknown amount. I say 74 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: unknown amount, and I'll explain that here of three O 75 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: eight caliber and nine millimeter caliber ammunition, and the reason 76 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: we say an unknown amount. They were in containers and 77 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: there are hundreds of rounds. We don't know exactly how many. 78 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: There were a lot of loose ammunition. So eventually, you know, 79 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: we'll get to exactly how many of those were From 80 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: the Monterey Park scene where the victims were assassinated, Investigators 81 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: recovered a total of forty two shell casines and a 82 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: large capacity magazine, so forty two rounds were fired by 83 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: the suspect at that location. Investigators also recovered a Norinko 84 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: seven point six two by twenty five handgun from inside 85 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: the suspect's cargo van. That's the handgun that you saw 86 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: being recovered from the van yesterday afternoon. That firearm was 87 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: registered to the suspect. There was also clothing that the 88 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: suspect war during the commission of the crimes, and that 89 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: was also recovered from the van. We have also learned 90 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: that the firearm which was wrestled away from the suspect 91 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: at the al Hambra scene was a nine millimeter caliber 92 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: semi automatic Mac ten assault weapon. I want to emphasize 93 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: that all the firearms recovered still require additional forensic ballistic 94 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: examinations and comparisons that we're doing with our partners, as 95 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: well as additional investigations into the origins of where the 96 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: suspect got those weapons. A lot of work to be 97 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: done there, but we don't want to leave any stone unturned. 98 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: We are still not able to release additional information and 99 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: photo graphs of the weapon, and that's one thing I 100 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: was pushing our people to release the picture of the 101 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: weapons that we recovered. But there's still witnesses that need 102 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: to identify some of these things and we don't. If 103 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: we put them out there, it starts impacting the investigation, 104 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: so that's why we're not releasing pictures yet. Regarding the 105 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: suspect's background, he has a limited criminal history, with an 106 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: arrest in nineteen ninety for an unlawful possession of a firearm. 107 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to take a second to also thank mister 108 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: Brandon sty for his heroic action which saved countless lives. 109 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: He's the hero that disarmed the suspect at the Alhambra 110 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: location and in my opinion, saved many of lives. Originally, 111 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: we put out that there were two people. We find 112 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: out ultimately, as we normally do as these things get investigated, 113 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: there was only actually one person who disarmed him. But 114 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: as you know, we're trying to put out information, it 115 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: was preliminary, so there was one and that's his name, 116 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: and what a brave man he is. The Langley Center 117 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: continues to be open for victim resources and next of 118 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: ken notifications, where we are being assisted by a lot 119 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: of partners who have come forward embracing all of the victims, 120 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: different organizations, and I can't tell you how much I 121 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: appreciate them, and they're going to be needed for weeks 122 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: and months and who knows how long to come. So 123 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: thank you very much for your efforts on that. And 124 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: then I just want to remind everybody, and the other 125 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: speakers will speak, I'll come back up here.

There's a lot of stories coming forward. 129 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: We're not ignoring any of them, but we've heard some 130 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: things that just our second, third hand information, and the 131 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: investigators are cifling through all that information to make sure 132 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: that we determine the motive. We still don't have a motive, 133 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: but we want to know the motive behind this tragic event, 134 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: and the FBI continues to collaborate with us in that 135 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: portion of the investigation. And then finally, before I turned 136 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: the microphone over, I would like to thank Chief Weee 137 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: and the Monterey Park Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 138 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco and Firearms, the District 139 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: Attorney's office, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, and 140 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: the United States Department of Justice, the Los Angeles County 141 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: Medical Examiner Corner's Office, and all the various agencies that 142 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: assisted us. And like I said yesterday, I'm getting calls 143 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: all the way from our Attorney General. I spoke to 144 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: our governor before coming down here, and he it's been 145 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: very kind and offering not only his condolences but his 146 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: support for anything that we may need.

We know that 173 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: their path to healing physically and mentally may be long, 174 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: but they will not be alone in their journey. I'm 175 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: coming directly from lac USC Medical Center, where I visited 176 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: with at least two of the survivors. One was going 177 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: to be released today another one will be released in time, 178 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: but are both recuperating and you could see in their 179 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: faces their spirit to fight and the fact that they 180 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: are resolved that they are still here and they want 181 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: to be with their families and they want to know 182 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: what happened to the others on that on that night. 183 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: I also visited earlier with some of the folks here 184 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: the Langley Senior Center in Monterey Park to see what 185 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: services are County, LA County and the community are providing, 186 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: and that is I can tell you, without a doubt, 187 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: some of the best resources that I have seen, united 188 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: at every level, the federal level, the state level, the 189 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: county and the city, and community groups, the Red Cross, 190 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: including other organizations. My hat goes off to our Day's 191 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: office as well for doing all that he can to 192 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: help provide services on site and on time and to 193 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: all of us. Our Department of Mental Health physicians and 194 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: psychiatrists are on hand and they are there able to 195 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: speak the different languages that are needed and provided for 196 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: these families. And also they're providing legal assistance that's being 197 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: offered there to the families, which is much needed I've 198 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: also received. I've also seen the support that we've received 199 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: from communities like the Chinatown Service Center and the Sushi Center, 200 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: the Red Cross, and many others that were there. As 201 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: our law enforcement partners work diligently to determine the motive 202 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: of the shooting, and as details continue to emerge, we 203 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: have learned that we have true heroes, and we heard 204 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: about one earlier that the sheriff spoke about, and I 205 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: think that individual is a hero for all of us. 206 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: Someone that put their own life at stake and actually 207 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:04,479 Speaker 1: prevented more death from occurring is a hero in my books. Thankfully, 208 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: members of our community, also, our men and women in uniform, 209 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: fought also to protect our community, so I personally want 210 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: to thank them. And had an opportunity to meet with 211 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: some of the staff from Monterey park A Police Department 212 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: who were there, who are also going to need help, 213 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: also going to need assistance, so we need to be there. 214 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: It isn't just a one off that we're going to 215 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: be here one day. The county will remain there for 216 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: a long time and we continue to mourn with all 217 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: of the families. I also want to say I want 218 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: to thank the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, who last 219 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: night was also here. He visited with one of the 220 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: patients I believe at lac USC and also toured the 221 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: Langley Center. He also is in strong support of whatever 222 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: resources we need. Last night I also had the privilege 223 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: to receive a call from our President, President Biden, who 224 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: asked me what was needed here, and I told him, 225 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: we just need more reinforcements, We need more help. We 226 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:08,359 Speaker 1: need to stop this type of violence in terms of guns, 227 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: and also to provide more assistance by way of mental 228 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: health services, not just for the community of Monterey Park, 229 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: but for the entire AAPI community and in particular some 230 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: of our senior centers that service that community. So again, 231 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: I stand strong with you, Elli County mourns with you, 232 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: our community, but we are here to serve. Thank you 233 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: very much. All Right, We're gonna drop out of this now. 234 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: This is the press conference, of course, of the Monterey 235 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: Park mass shooting. Not a lot of new information. We'd 236 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: already learned that there were eleven people killed, twenty people shot. 237 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: The number for most of last night and today was ten, 238 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: but it has been up to eleven people who died 239 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: from the shooting. The Sheriff Luna did talk a bit 240 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: about the shooter, who was now of course dead. Who 241 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: can tran seventy two year old man from Hammett Out 242 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: in Riverside County that apparently he had some sort of 243 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: experience with explosives and if he did watch some of 244 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: the coverage yesterday when they surrounded his van in a 245 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: parking lot in Torrents, they did bring in extra heavy 246 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: equipment for the possibility that he may have had explosive 247 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: materials inside that van, and as Steve Gregory told us, 248 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: they don't know whether or not they were dealing with 249 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: one two. I mean, it looked like he was dead 250 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: in there. He had already shot himself as they approached 251 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: the van, but they could have been dealing with something 252 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: far worse. And they also added that the only thing 253 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: as far as a criminal record was a nineteen ninety 254 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: arrest of this guy for unlawful possession of a firearm. 255 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: He to describe in detail the weapon that apparently he used. 256 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: Apparently had two weapons, but one that he used to 257 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: kill everybody and then eventually shot himself, we believe with 258 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: a handgun. One of the first things Elda Selisa blurted 259 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: out yesterday was a speculation on whether it was a 260 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: hate crime. It's fascinating to see how many woke politicians 261 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: went the hate crime route right from the right from 262 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: the start. Yeah, that was one of the predictable things 263 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: when you learned that it was an Asian you know, 264 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: dance studio. Immediately you knew people would try to jump 265 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: on that, which was a possibility. But by the way, 266 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: this was a hate crime. P hated somebody at this 267 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: club to go there to see. That's what's funny the 268 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: way they defined a hate crime. I think if you've 269 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: shot up twenty people, you got a fair amount of 270 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: hate in you, regardless of their their ethnicity or their 271 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: their colors. It's so strange, but I guess, I guess 272 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: there's a hate crime. That's like Capital Ah Capital c 273 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: Tran ran some sort of a trucking company or he 274 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: was a professional trucker. He didn't have a company for 275 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: a while, that didn't last long. We're gonna bring on 276 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: Alex Stone. Of course, he's been covering this story for 277 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: ABC News for CAFI and of course has been posted 278 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: out at the press conference. Alex Hitter guys, Hey, yeah, 279 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean you heard the sheriff. They're say they still 280 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: don't know a motive. And when this first was breaking 281 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: early yesterday morning and late Saturday night, that the initial 282 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: indicators we were getting that investigators were going down the 283 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: road of domestic violence. But we're hearing now, and we 284 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: talked to a senior law enforcement source a little while 285 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: ago had been briefed on it that internally were told 286 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: they're beginning to make comparisons to Las Vegas in twenty 287 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: seventeen of an old guy who was angry and in 288 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. We never knew why he did it, and 289 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: this is still very early on, so it may not 290 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: go down that road, but you know, domestic violence. Now, 291 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: we know that he divorced his wife almost twenty years ago, 292 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: in this case seventy two years old. Tenant to telling 293 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: us that he was a lonely guy, distrusted everybody came 294 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: to these two dance ballrooms a lot, love to dance. 295 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: They didn't necessarily like him being here, but that he 296 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: was just kind of a grumpy old guy and was 297 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: apparently lonely, they're saying, but hadn't been married in a 298 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: very long time. Now that said they're looking into was 299 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: his ex wife here? Was she at target? Was he 300 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: seeing somebody else? Were they at target? So this could 301 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: go any number of ways. But uh, and then what 302 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: we're hearing from people here, this is a font to quan. 303 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: Her aunt was shot in a car when she was leaving. 304 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: She was done at the dance hall, was leaving. We 305 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: thought everybody had been shot inside, and then not her 306 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: aunt sang this should have came from the driver's side window, 307 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: shot in and he wasn't wearing any face covering or anything. 308 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: So my aunt's partner saw who he was, didn't recognize 309 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: him at all, And they used to come here a lot. 310 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: They did not recognize him. But but we're told that 311 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: who kantran did come here quite a bit and he 312 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: enjoyed this ballroom and the other ballroom that he then 313 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: went to from here. So U the motive does not 314 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: look like this is going to be an easy one 315 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: to find. You heard the sheriff there go, And we 316 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: understand that they're they're coming up kind of empty at 317 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: this point on exactly what it was. Domestic violence, Maybe 318 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: it'll go down that road right now, looks like it 319 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: may not. But he but he had he had spent 320 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: time at both of these dance studios. Right, Yeah, so 321 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: he apparently knew both of them very well. From what 322 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: we understand, that he enjoyed coming. We were told that, 323 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: in fact, he liked to come and offer dance lessons 324 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: to women. That and the dance studios didn't like that 325 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: they wanted to get paid for danceling. In the drawing room, 326 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: a group of suspects guthered. The detective has solved the mystery. 327 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. The butler did it.

Then 347 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: it is that second Dan Studio and Alhambra that where 348 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: he was disarmed. And we're here in today, Brandon, say, 349 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: you heard the sheriff talk about him as being the hero. 350 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: The chief hero is saying the same thing. The mayor 351 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: here saying it stop this thing from becoming double as 352 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: bad or worse of carrying out the shooting at that 353 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: Dan studio as well. And we got to talk to 354 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: say today as well, talking about disarming. They fought over 355 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: the gun. He told us this. At that moment, there 356 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: were many people I was thinking about, especially when I 357 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: was fighting. I was thinking about everybody. The guy seventy 358 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 1: two years old and says in his twenties, but he 359 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: said the seventy two year old put up a heck 360 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: of a fight. He beat him with the gun. He 361 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 1: hit him. He was not willing to give it up, 362 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: and that they fought it out of course he was 363 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: using was turning the weapon poor to me. But I 364 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: didn't think he gave up at one point because he 365 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: was mostly using his arms to assault me, and so 366 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: he told us he got the gun. He thought then 367 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: that the fight was going to continue. But then Tran 368 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: just kind of walked to the corner of the room, 369 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: stood there like he was thinking about it, and then 370 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: ran away and gotten his white van and went away. 371 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: But in that moment, Say was saying that he thought 372 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: he was gonna have to kill a man. I mean, 373 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: he's never killed anybody. He's an owner of a dance studio, 374 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: and he thought if he was going to live, he 375 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: said this, I had the thought that I would need 376 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 1: to kill someone today. I would need to kill as 377 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: a human. And then right when he thought, I'm gonna 378 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 1: have to shoot and kill this guy, whoever he is. 379 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: That that's when Tran then ran away, got in his 380 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: van and then went to Torrance and was found twelve 381 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: hours later. But they believe that what he did instead 382 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: of running away and hiding that fighting back and taking 383 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: that got away. That you heard the description a moment 384 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: ago the modified extended magazine. The sheriff is calling it 385 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: an assault pistol instead of a Saul rifle, but an 386 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: assul pistol. That he got it away from him and 387 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: ended the whole thing. All right, Alex, thank you very 388 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: much for that report. You got it. Thanks guys. All right, 389 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: Alex Stone, ABC News for KFI covering the Monterey Park 390 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: press conference, which is probably still going on, but we 391 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: dropped out after the sheriff and a supervisor spoke because 392 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: we think we got all of the current relevant information 393 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: that we have right, no story as in the first 394 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: two minutes. I was wondering what this guy did for 395 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: a living in his life. Yeah, he was a professional trucker. Yeah, 396 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: he was the CEO of a trucking company. But the 397 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: company didn't last long, so it was called trans Trucking, 398 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: but it dissolved in twenty twenty two. That could be 399 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: taken in several ways. Trans trucking. Yeah, here's an oddity, 400 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: and I think mental illness. You know, I don't like 401 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: to write that out because some people are just sick 402 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: and evil. But he went to the Hemmet Police Department 403 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: on January seventh and January ninth of this year, that's 404 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: pretty recent, made allegations about fraud, theft, and poisoning involving 405 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: his family in the LA area ten to twenty years ago. 406 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: That people he said, I will return with the documentation, 407 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: but he never showed up. That he was defrauded and 408 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: stolen from and possibly poises in twenty years you know, 409 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: I think he was suffering a total mental real mental breakdown, 410 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: and seventy two we could have already been a dementia stage. Yeah, 411 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like. Living alone in a trailer 412 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: and life is over. It looks like he's got very 413 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: little in the way of human contact. I guess we 414 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: have a situation where because he killed himself and it's over, 415 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: people are now just obsessed with motive. Nobody. Yeah, I 416 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: don't get that. I mean that it's a way that 417 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: they can not rationalize, but trying to come to terms 418 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: with it. I guess we find out anything. I'm just 419 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: oriented to what the guy did, why he did it. 420 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes you figure it out, sometimes you don't. Sometimes it 421 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: makes sense. Sometimes you could, you know, The Las Vegas 422 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: guy is a good example. Sixty six years old. They 423 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: never figured out why he started shooting at all those people, now, 424 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: except for the theory that he wanted to outdo other 425 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: mass shooters or something. Remember that. Yeah, I mean there's 426 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: no there's no explaining crazy. And that guy's father was 427 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: a shooter too, remember Yeah. Yeah, so this guy looks 428 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: like his brain was falling apart. I noticed that not 429 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 1: a single person has come forward to saying that they 430 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: knew him or were his friend or related to him 431 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: in any way. Somebody talked to the ex wife who said, 432 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: who was the one that said he was He had 433 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: a temper, but he was ever violet with him, right, 434 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: That's all I heard, But I didn't hear her fo Yeah, no, 435 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: the ex wife is eighteen years ago too. But I 436 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: think he was kind of a hermit and Hemmett, so 437 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: to speaking, a Hemmet hermit. Yeah, yeah, and his and 438 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: his senior trailer senior citizen trailer park, dead end life. 439 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: All right, we're coming up, Johnny ken KF I am 440 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere the iHeart Radio app. All right, 441 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: well we just got an update. There's a press conference 442 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: going on from the only county Sheriff's department, along with 443 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of other elected officials. They're still talking to 444 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: talk about They've even gotten to reporters questions yet, have 445 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: they No, No, Sheriff Luna is back yammering away about something. 446 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he said he would come back, and I 447 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: forget why. But yeah, it wasn't a heck of a 448 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: lot from the latest up day they had two names 449 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: of the victims, and you know then they you know, 450 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: main cliches and platitudes, and yeah, we now know the 451 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: death toll is eleven. Somebody did die of their injuries 452 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: at the hospital in addition to the ten who were 453 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 1: killed last night, five women, five men. We don't know 454 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: the gender of the latest victim, but they were apparently 455 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: they were all in their fifty, sixties and seventies. I mean, 456 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: this was so out of the ordinary when it comes 457 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: to the profile of a mass shooting, a seventy two 458 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 1: year old shooter and victims in their fifties, sixties and seventies, 459 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: and then the idea that it was, you know, Saturday 460 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: night at ten thirty. You don't expect people in their 461 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: seventies to be out at a social cut really, I wonder. 462 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: I wonder how the modern world has infiltrated brains and 463 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: made these mass shootings plausible to all the crazy people 464 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: out there, just because there's so much coverage, and they 465 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: happened so often, and the coverage goes on for days, 466 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: and it's so intense. It is a part of life 467 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: now in America. Yeah, I know. But there was a 468 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: day when it wasn't, and then there was a day 469 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: that it started, and then it became. Now it's so 470 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: often that at some extent people don't really pay attention. 471 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: And there was a shooting in Iowa today, a couple 472 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: of people got killed. So that's being overrun by all 473 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: the coverage of this story, right, And but but infiltrating 474 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: the mind of the crazy person where this looks like 475 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: a good idea to them, he normalizes the behavior. They 476 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: see other people doing it and they think, Wow, I'd 477 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: like to make that statement. I'd like to I'd like 478 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: to have that on the resume, to let everybody know 479 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: how angry and miserable I am, and how everybody's done 480 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: me wrong and he's to blame, and it's uh, it's 481 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: gonna go on forever, I think now, I don't think 482 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: it's anything anybody's ever going to do about it. I'm 483 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: not sure there is anything you can do about it. 484 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: I'm just hoping more people step up like that twenty 485 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: six year old did at the club al Hambra, that 486 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: he saw something that didn't look right, and you meet, 487 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: and he took action and wrestled that gun away from 488 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: the shooter because he certainly would have killed more people. 489 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: And he saw the cargold man and got a description, 490 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: and they eventually tracked this guy down to Torrance. Most 491 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: people freeze, and that's understandable that that's well, it's it's 492 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: it's flight or fight or flight or freeze. That's the 493 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: first reaction is you don't even though you're not you 494 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: can't figure out what you're seeing. You're like, it's time 495 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: to believe that somebody's actually it's got to be firecrackers. 496 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: People always say, right, right, And you don't believe it 497 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: initially when a guy walks in with a gun because 498 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: you've never seen that before in your life, right, And 499 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to overcome the fear of getting shot yourself. 500 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: But it can work if you if you get him 501 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: distracted or just oriented just long enough you could grab 502 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: it away, you could tackle him, but you gotta you 503 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: gotta whatever, you gotta do it right, whatever that means 504 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: in that moment. All right, Well, now we take you 505 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: back to Sacramento. Last time we talked about the idiot 506 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: politicians in Sacramento, California was looking down the nose of 507 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: a big budget deficit of probably anywhere in the neighborhood, 508 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five billion dollars. So it didn't take 509 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: this crowd long to come up with their tax ideas. 510 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: And once again the same hack legislature legislator from the 511 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: Bay Area San Jose Assembly Member Alex Lee has introduced 512 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: the wealth tax at a rate of one and a 513 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: half percent on those worth more than a billion dollars 514 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: starting next year, at one percent for those worth more 515 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: than fifty million starting in the year twenty twenty six. Supposedly, 516 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: this would affect point one percent of California households. But 517 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: they think, I don't know what this number is, four 518 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: twenty one point six billion in state revenue. That must 519 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: be over a period of years, so that'd be immediate 520 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: the first I don't know. I heard the other day 521 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: that I think New Jersey wants to follow you around 522 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 1: if you move at a state that they're there because 523 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people say we're moving to Florida and 524 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: they actually live in two residences, Florida and New Jersey. 525 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: And so what they're looking I heard they're even want 526 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: to inspect your refrigerator. I guess the taxes. Yeah, they 527 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: want to see if there's food in there to prove 528 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: that you actually live there. Well, there are people that 529 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: live in two states. My parents did. But the magic 530 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: number is one eighty three. Fact the states were New Jersey, 531 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: see in Florida. Yeah, but if you live in a 532 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: state for one hundred eighty three days that's half the 533 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: year plus one, then then you can declare yourself a 534 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: resident of that state and then you get the That's 535 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: what they get. They spent nine months in Florida in 536 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: three months in New Jersey, right, so, well they switched 537 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: everything to Florida. The Jersey tax authorities aren't trusting that, 538 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: and so they want to investigate and they want to 539 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: see your phone bills, They want to see your your 540 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: your electric and gas bills. They they they're also looking at, 541 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: you know, the bridges and tunnels that connect New Jersey 542 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: and New York. For they want to check to see 543 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: if if you're driving through, if you're driving through because 544 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: people have those transponders, right, the easy passes, and they 545 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: had a register. No, they're crazy there. And California has 546 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: talked in the past about doing stuff like that. How 547 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: many times have we talked about how the wealthiest pay 548 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: all the income taxes in California, which is the biggest 549 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: taxes they collect. It's like they're already paying. But but 550 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: this is listen to this worldwide wealth, not just your 551 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: annual income, but your stocks, your hedge funds, your farm assets, 552 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: and your arts and collectibles. He wants to include in 553 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: this tax. Well, yeah, are you out of your mind? Yeah? Yeah, 554 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: Like the wealthy people aren't gonna hide their art, right, 555 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: and you're gonna you can't tax stock that's not been 556 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: cashed because that value is only on paper, that's not 557 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: real value. And yeah, we've seen how it's part of 558 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: your net worth, but it is only on paper, right, right, 559 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: it's part of your net worth, But that's just an 560 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: accounting trick. In the moment, you don't know what it 561 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: is until the day you sell it. I remember looking 562 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: up this guy a few years ago he had some 563 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: stupid idea. This Alex Lee. He threw him in the 564 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,479 Speaker 1: dumpster for something. He's a Democratic Socialist of America member, 565 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: so's he's not a Democrat? Yeah, and he u Prior 566 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: to running for office, he delivered food and lived with 567 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: his mother because of the high cost of living in 568 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: his district. That's on his Wikipedia page, living with mommy 569 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: delivering food. So the guy goes from grubhub to deciding 570 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,239 Speaker 1: to tax billionaires excessively. Oh, here's a Berkeley professor who 571 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: talks about sort of what you were talking about. Our 572 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: current tax system federal and state fails to tax the 573 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: enormous wealth of mass By billionaires, they can keep profits 574 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: inside their businesses, and if they don't sell their stock, 575 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: they can avoid the individual income tax and then retire 576 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: to Florida, sell their business, and never pay income taxes 577 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: in the state where they built their fortune. That's what 578 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: I would do. It doesn't make sense, doesn't don't You 579 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: don't like it? F and you the pages stinking tacks 580 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: when I lived there, But I'm when I retire and 581 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: cash everything in Screw you. I read a story I 582 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 1: don't know if it's true, but Elon Musk has gotten 583 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: rid of his homes. He doesn't live anywhere in particular. Yeah, 584 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: that's smart, right, Ray, and he doesn't. He doesn't selling. 585 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: Some of these CEOs take almost no salary, like a dollar, 586 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: and then they borrow against their stockholdings. Right, but that's 587 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: not income. That's alone, and they pay back the loan, 588 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: but they don't mark anything down his income. Therefore they 589 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: don't pay taxes. Now, they're only going to need the 590 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: two thirds, right, they already have two thirds supermajority. But 591 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: it does have to go to the voters because there's 592 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: a constitutional amendment to lift the cap on taxing personal 593 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: property like the art that I mentioned and stuff like that, 594 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: So then we'd have to vote before they can get 595 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: this whole way. You talk about a double tax because 596 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: you've already paid taxes on the money you used to 597 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: buy the art. Yeah, and then but again it's that 598 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: sales taxes. Now it's part of your wealth. Right as 599 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: the value of the art goes up, then you're supposed 600 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: to that. That's I knew SMS against this because he 601 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if he vetoed it, but he came 602 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 1: out against it last year, and this buill didn't go anywhere. 603 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 1: But this is, this is these are silly little children, 604 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: these are people he should still be living with his mom. Well, 605 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: it's the same crowd that hates capitalism, hates how this 606 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: country came together, and wants to punish everything that they 607 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: You think he's twenty eight years old, is Alex Lee, 608 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: and he's accomplished nothing in his life. He can't point 609 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: to anything and say, you know what I made that 610 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: I built that, this is my business. These are my employees. 611 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,479 Speaker 1: He's done none of that. He's somehow snickered his way 612 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: into office, and now he's saying, Wow, all those people 613 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: who worked really hard, who took risks, who built companies, 614 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: who you know, keep America going, Let's just take stuff 615 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: from them. Alex Lee's a vandal. He's a thief in 616 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: a suit. We got more coming up to do.

Not a lot of new information, 624 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: but people are still searching for the motive behind this 625 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: seventy two year old man. Searching for the motive, Yeah, 626 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: I love They want peace, They want to understand why 627 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: anyone would do this, Why would anyone do this? Mentally 628 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 1: ill after evil people? But I think they're thick the 629 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of shootings over the last twenty five 630 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: thirty years. People still know why the planet has billions 631 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: of people. You're right, some are gonna go heywire and 632 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: kill people. Isn't it obvious that you know, there's all 633 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: these different strands of mental illness and evil, and you 634 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: know each each murders its own peculiar strand. But it's 635 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: kind of all in the same pot. I mean, if 636 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:42,359 Speaker 1: it isn't something obvious, like you know, jealousy or some 637 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,399 Speaker 1: money or drug deal gone bad, most of the time 638 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: it's somebody losing their mind. Uh, speaking of evil. Uh, 639 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: this is a really bizarre story. Maybe not for some 640 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: listeners who hear it, but I thought so. Nancy Pelos, 641 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: of course, is no longer the House Majority leader and speaker, 642 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: but she still has a seat in the US House 643 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: of Representatives. She apparently was so bothered by the attack 644 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: on her husband and their San Francisco home, she called 645 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: in some priests to do an exorcism to get the 646 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: evil spirits out of the house. Her daughter told The 647 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 1: New York Times that weighed so heavily on her soul. 648 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: She felt really guilty. So some crazy person or because 649 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: he was really coming there for her, but instead of 650 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: her husband got here. So you get you get some 651 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: crackpot who pretends to be an exorcist, some nut who 652 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: believes like the devil has sent in evil spirits. Oh man, 653 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: that's unhinged. Over Thanksgiving, she had priests coming trying to 654 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: have an exorcism of the house and having a prayer service. 655 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: Or that's really disturbing. People believe in that stuff. Bother me. Now, 656 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: the local church in San Francisco said that we did 657 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: not get involved, so he's denying that they did it. 658 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 1: Was it a freelance exorcist? Can you can find that online? 659 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: Let me just type this in. Let me see what say. Yes, 660 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say you can find exorcism services. Where can 661 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: I hire an exorcist? Let's see what comes up. Okay, 662 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 1: here's a question. She's had her troubles with the Catholic 663 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: Church because well, you can request an exorcism at the 664 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: Archdiocese of Washington. Oh, look at that. The right of 665 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: exorcism is a sacrament of the Catholic Church, and the 666 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: church he the two bit of bells, right. Yeah, the 667 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,720 Speaker 1: Church asks publicly and authoritatively, in the name of Jesus Christ, 668 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: that that a person or object we protected against the 669 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 1: power of the evil One in capital letters, the evil one, 670 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: and withdrawn from his dominion about that. So maybe there 671 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: are some freelance priests. Well, the guy that hammered her 672 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: husband has been removed from the how cities in prison, 673 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,760 Speaker 1: So I what's the other evil or what? Now there 674 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: there are? There is a procedure. Uh. And if you 675 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: do not reside within the Archdiocese of Washington, we are 676 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: unable to assist you because you don't put money in 677 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 1: the collection box. You're not in their district. That's a 678 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: little cold, it says, please reach out to your local 679 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: Catholic diocese. Thank you for understanding. That's why the one 680 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: in San Francisco that was their church said, we didn't 681 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 1: do this, So she must have found somebody to come in. 682 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 1: And I mean the daughter is telling the story. So 683 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it happened, right. Why would the daughter tell 684 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: the New York Times this story that we had an exorcism? 685 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: Profer they also have something called minor exorcism of a place. 686 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: I guess it's it's such as such as a home, 687 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: and that may be prayed by any priest who's uh, 688 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: I guess can minister within the archdiocese. You you contact 689 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: your local parish priest and ask for an exorcism at 690 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: your homer business. There you go, all right, we learned 691 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: something which we should do here. Uh, Conway, thank you 692 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: very much. You know, Um, just because I come in 693 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 1: here doesn't mean you have to talk to me. If 694 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: you guys are doing a topic or anything more important, 695 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm totally happy to do. Yeah, that's the new rule around. 696 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: There's a new rule. Yeah. We were going to play 697 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: all the fun intial music, so you felt really welcome. 698 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 1: Maybe now you're saying you can ignore me. Yeah, well, 699 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Well, we'll see um 700 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: Alex soonne is coming on. We have them hospital of 701 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: the eleventh victim of this horrible shooting on Saturday. We'll 702 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: talk about that. And you know what's what's odd is 703 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: how fast the news travels, but not on television, you know, 704 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: like the networks, they don't have anybody there on a 705 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: Saturday night, and so when something like this happens, you 706 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: get the information on Twitter three or four hours before 707 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: the television. Oh, I know. They newsrooms are closed down 708 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: on weekend nights. It is. It's amazing. I mean they've 709 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: run They ran their eleven o'clock news without mentioning it, 710 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: and then they ran programming afterwards without mentioning it. So 711 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: if you were just watching TV, you wouldn't know until 712 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: Sunday morning did something happen. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't 713 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,479 Speaker 1: know until the next time. I didn't either. I didn't 714 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: say I didn't either. A lot of people don't watch 715 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: the news on a Saturday night. So yeah, But but 716 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: that's why Twitter and kfive, you know, I mean, we 717 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: are filling those gaps. He's kfi's biggest bolster, that's right. 718 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 1: I so sad because the Chargers lost on KFI. I 719 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,919 Speaker 1: know that was that was embarrassed. He took that person 720 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: I didn't take that personally. Wow, because I listened to 721 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: the station before you guys even lived here. I feel 722 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: like I'm very you have an emotional investment. I'm very 723 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,959 Speaker 1: didn't the station played music before we lived here or something? 724 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 1: A little bit yeah, a little bit.
