You must 25 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: know by now about the Chiefs parade yesterday mass shooting 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: and you had one killed, twenty two hurt, A number 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: of children were shot. And who did this? Why did 28 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: they do it? We keep hearing that there were several 29 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: that were detained. Have they been charged. It's been tough 30 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: to get information, tough to understand how this story is progressed. 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: Brad Garrett, ABC News, Welcome, Brad. How are you? I'm good, John, 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: thank you. Where are we right now with this? 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that those of us here on 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: the outside are much further film we were twenty four 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: hours ago News other than you know, my initial impression 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon when I was talking about this was, if 37 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: you look at the number of people shot and you 38 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: look at the number that are not fatally shot, it 39 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: certainly has the flavor of two groups going back and 40 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 2: forth of each other. They don't know how to shoot. 41 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: They're shooting in crowds and they're just hitting what whoever 42 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: is around the person they think they're shooting at. And 43 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: so I do think that's what we've ended up with. Now. 44 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: Is it gang related? Is it drug related? It's certainly 45 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: beef related. They got into it at some point, each 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: pull out guns and start firing at each other. But 47 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: you're talking around, you know, a dense population of people, 48 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: and that's why there's so many people shot. Granted, there's 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: a lot of shots fired. So you know, they've not 50 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: been really clear about how many people they think that 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: were involved, and they may hopefully they know now, but 52 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: they may not know. I mean, whether six people in 53 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: one group four and the other. I mean, I don't 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: know what the number is. They've arrested at least three 55 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 2: and maybe more. But it's you know, it's a case 56 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 2: that may not be on the surface that easy to make, 57 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 2: but certainly, having said that it's makeable, this may be difficult. 58 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: It's going to take a while. I imagine there's a 59 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: ton of video that people took there, and it's going 60 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 1: to take a while to go through. First of all, 61 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: to find the video, people have to say hey, you 62 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: want to look at it. They have to want to 63 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: get involved in the case and then to stare at 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: it for hours and hours and hours and try to 65 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: put a story together. 66 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, think about it this way. 67 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: That's what they did. 68 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Is the Boston marathon bombing. Yeah, the FBI put a 69 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: link out and they've now the FBI have spit a 70 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: link out on this for Kansas City where people can 71 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: send video, audio, leads, whatever you want to send, and 72 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: then you know it can be processed. At that point, 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: the Bureau probably is is provided tech man power to 74 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: help go through all that since they've you know, they 75 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: have a history of doing that, and you know, we'll 76 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: see where that goes. How helpful the current people are arrested. 77 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: That's another key point. But matching up video with witness statements, 78 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: with suspect statements and the backgrounds obviously of those arrested 79 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: are going to give you some picture of what you 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: have here. But again, I think it's not going to 81 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: be what happened. I think is reasonably straightforward. I mean, 82 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: the beef is going to be something to you and 83 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: are go to look at each other and really you're 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: going to shoot up people based on that who know. 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Nothing points to a plan like that Las Vegas shooting 86 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: of that country music concert was a guy holed up 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: in his hotel room in Vegas for days on end, 88 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: and he plotted to get just the right angle and 89 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: then start taking out the concert goers. 90 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: Right, But that's a mass shooter. This wasn't a mass 91 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 2: shooter mentality. It's a mass shooting because of the number 92 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: of people shot. But this is two groups going at 93 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: each other. People like the Vegas shooter, the fill in 94 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: the blank shooter that we all talk about almost it 95 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: seems like every week now clearly go to kill a 96 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: lot of people, you know, and it's a whole mindset 97 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: in the psychology that killed in them and makes them 98 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 2: feel powerful. I mean, I could go on and on 99 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: about that. But the point, the point being that isn't 100 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: what this is, nor did it appear to be that. 101 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: This is just you know, basically, you know, either drug 102 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: gangs or people who think like drug gangs carry guns 103 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: and that's how they show their power. They pull out 104 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: a gun and pointed at somebody they don't like. And 105 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 2: I my sense is that's some version of what I 106 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: just said I think is the truth. 107 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just it's to normal people not involved in 108 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: that world. The idea that you would try to settle 109 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: your dispute amongst a million people at a Kansas City 110 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: chiefs parade celebration. I mean, if you're going to do that, 111 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: go take it out in an alley somewhere and have 112 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: at each other to actually doing and that dense crowd 113 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: is really stunning. 114 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean if you think about that, you 115 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: don't really care about all that. And if the argument 116 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: started or the debate started, let's say, not right where 117 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: the shooting occurred, but before that, and they're all walking along, 118 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 2: or they happen upon each other. A video may help. 119 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: CCTV and private video may help on this point as 120 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: to when did this interaction start. Did it immediately start 121 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: and go to gunfire, did it start two blocks away? 122 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 2: Did they happen upon a group that they had a 123 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: beef with. You know, we don't know. My guess is 124 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: if if not figured that out, they will figure it out. 125 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, you have to go into the mind of 126 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: the people who would do something is you and I 127 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: would describe as a super stupid thing to do for starters, 128 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: but to do it in place where you're going to 129 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: get captured on video if nothing else by the CCTV. 130 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: Is this going to lead thinking about that. 131 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: To local governments, local governments deciding that to have these events, 132 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do what they do at New 133 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Year's even Times Square, where everybody's got to go through 134 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: metal detectors and nobody's allowed to leave for a certain 135 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: amount of time. And you're going to have to structure 136 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: the celebration that everybody goes in at one hour, leave 137 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: it the other hour. Everybody gets searched or wanded or whatever. 138 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: Because if you just have a million people gathering together, 139 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: there's too many crazies and too many guns. 140 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: Well there is no doubt about that. But it works 141 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: for NYPD and the ball dropping because they can basically 142 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: shut down Times Square. You can't really shut down or 143 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: this occurred if you've got a million people there. You 144 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: can't basically clear a million people unless you want to 145 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: start two days in advance. 146 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: And so. 147 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: And the reality is there are so many outside events 148 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: in California and other places, urban, rural, or you know, 149 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: maybe not a million people, of course, but a few 150 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: thousand show up for a country Western concert. I mean, 151 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: I just I don't think it's realistic that you can 152 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 2: clear all these crowds all the time. So having said that, 153 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: if you're going to go to these events, you have 154 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: to think, at least in your mind, you're going to 155 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 2: be around some people that are armed, because, let's face it, 156 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: there are a lot of people that walk around armed 157 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 2: these days. 158 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: All right, Bred, thanks for coming on with us. 159 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: You're welcome. 160 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: Take care, John brad Garrett, ABC News on this shooting yesterday. 161 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: The one person killed was a radio disc Jobey work 162 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: for the radio station can KFI. 163 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 3: It is that weird. 164 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 1: I know it is weird. I didn't know there was 165 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: a KKFI. I didn't either, But she was a disc 166 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: jockey there and mother too, and she was the only 167 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: one who was killed, although others were seriously hurt when 168 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: they got shot. Coming up, we're gonna give away another 169 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Isn't it great? You could just sit there 170 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: and make money listening to this. We're going to tell 171 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: you about where were the illegal aliens who beat up 172 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: those cops in Times Square back on January twenty seventh. 173 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: Where were they from? What group did they belong to? 174 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: It's not a church group. I'll give you a hint. 175 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: But a church played a role in getting one of 176 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: these characters free. Two stories that are not uplifting coming 177 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: up next. 178 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 179 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: six forty. 180 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: I told you two stories that are not uplifting about 181 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: this illegal alien chaos that has uh, you know the reason. 182 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: It's at a tipping point now, it's the number one 183 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: issue in some polls. People are going to be voting 184 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: on this issue. This is one of those big anchors 185 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: around the Senile one's neck because they they didn't just 186 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: migrate into the border states like what usually happens Texas 187 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: in California and Arizona. They migrated everywhere, all states, and 188 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: the governor of Texas moved it along, helped them out 189 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: with extra bus rides that got thousands to end up 190 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: in New York City and in Chicago and there. I mean, 191 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: one of the things I'm always going to treasure. It's 192 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: all the uh, all the squealings of these big city 193 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: mairs New York and Chicago and other places. Well, this 194 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: is not fair, this is not right. How derry Yeah, 195 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: well youre a sanctuary city. How about that? Huh? It 196 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: was so much virtue signaling it was so much fake 197 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: virtue signaling. They never meant it. They didn't really want 198 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: a couple hundred thousand illegal aliens in New York. I mean, 199 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: we played a clip of Eric Adams Vmier. They're squealing 200 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: to Foxible places about how he's literally full like it's 201 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: not just a turn of phrase. There is no vacancy 202 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: left in New York City, and he's hemmed in by 203 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: all the stupid progressive laws they passed over the last 204 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: few years. For example, the police cannot cooperate, the city 205 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: cannot cooperate with ICE and turn the illegal aliens over 206 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: for deportation, not that ICE would do that anyway, And 207 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: then they have a right to shelter law in New York. 208 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: And remember I was telling you last hour about this 209 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: media arts school for black and Latino kids that had 210 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: to shut down because the illegal aliens took over the 211 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: hotel they were based in, Not the illegal aliens, the 212 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: homeless people took over at the La Grand hotel. Well, 213 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: it's the same thing in the New York area. Kids 214 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: are getting kicked out of their own schools. They're getting 215 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: kicked out of they can't play their sports because they're 216 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: putting ten cities on the athletic fields. Yeah, and then 217 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: you know about the gang of criminals that beat up 218 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: those New York City cops right on the sidewalk in 219 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: the streets, and as soon as they got arrested, they 220 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: were let go without bail. I mean, it's just one 221 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: stupid progressive act after another, and the chaos just builds. 222 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: They have a right to shelter law, there's no shelter. 223 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: Kids are getting kicked out of their schools and out 224 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: of their athletic programs and builds on itself. Well. Two 225 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: of the illegal aliens charged in that attack on NYPD 226 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: cops are members of the notorious Venezuelan street gang trend 227 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: de aar Agua. That's according to federal officials. Their names 228 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: are Wilson Warez and Kelvin Cervita Arocha, and they are 229 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: being held without bail by US Immigration and Customs enforcement. 230 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: They are members of a bloodthirsty Venezuelan gang that has 231 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: made a lot of inroads in New York City. See, 232 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: despite what those psychotic progressives tell you, these are poor 233 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: children whose parents are looking for a better way of life. 234 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: These guys are nineteen and twenty one years old and 235 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: they're hardened criminals and they have no fear at all. 236 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: They're happy beating up two NYPD officers right in front 237 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: of a security camera. Just remember how many times they 238 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: punched those cops and kicked them, kicked them in the head, 239 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: and weren't frightened at all. And of course they get 240 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: arrested and what is their gas going? Like da do 241 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg, I'll let him go with him the it's uh, 242 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: I love this. The ICE spokeshole. Oh, here's a mouthful. 243 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: Instead of saying these illegal alien perpetrators, these violent illegal 244 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: alien criminals, this spokeshole for ICE. Marie Ferguson said, both 245 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: unlawfully present Venezuelan citizens. Unlawfully present, that's the new term. 246 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: And the Venezuelan citizens nobody can speak clear English anymore. 247 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: Both non citizens have been identified as members of this 248 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: trend Argua transnational criminal organization. That was her second quote there. 249 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: Darwin Andres Gomez is cal He was one who was 250 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: released without bail after beating the two cops. He was 251 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: shipped off to Rikers Island because they arrested him again 252 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: for shoplifting at a Macy's in Queen's. This is what's 253 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: going on in New York City. They're let out right away. 254 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: The Feds had to capture two of them. The other 255 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: one knocked over a Macy's. The Queen's DA Melinda Katz 256 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: says the rule of law and those who enforce it 257 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: must be respected. Otherwise brazen lawlessness will rule the day. 258 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: It already is. Nobody's respecting law. Do you expect to 259 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: expect these kids who are gang members don't speak English 260 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: to respect the rule of law. Well, they broke over 261 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: the border, obviously, I don't care about the rule of law. 262 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: We didn't enforce the law at the border. They figured 263 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: they got a free pass. In all these guys, their 264 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: first step breaks the law. I cannot leave people vote 265 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: for this stuff. It's amazing. Oh and then here's the topper. 266 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: One illegal alien who had been held behind bars. He 267 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: was held in jail. He was the only one originally 268 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: held for attacking the two cops. Now he's free. A 269 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: Brooklyn priest posted his fifteen thousand dollars bail. You can't 270 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: even count on the priests anymore. Jo Henry Brito. He 271 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: was at Rikers Island. He was going to be arraigned 272 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: on assault, walked out of jail Tuesday after a priest 273 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Yeah, that's a good Shepherd. Huh, 274 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: put up the money, and says the Reverend Juan Ruiz, 275 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: our church is basically a sanctuary. We assume that people 276 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: are innocent until approven otherwise. The guy's on video beating 277 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: up the cops. Wow, they've infill You know, the churches 278 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: have always been soft towards legal aliens. But to let 279 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: a guy who's clearly beating two officers on video go 280 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: and you give him bail. Where do you get the money? 281 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: Did the prisoners that is, is that the their usual 282 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: Sunday morning collection? Has it been turned over to to 283 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: pay bail? 284 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: Now? 285 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: And claims that this crazy pre says, there's a lot 286 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: more than what's being publicized. No, there isn't. That's the thing. Now, 287 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: you can see things with your own two eyes with 288 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: all the video cameras around, and these whack jobs tell 289 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: you no, no, no, that's not what happened. Yeah, that's 290 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: what happened. They beat the cops mercilessly. Cops should have 291 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: shot a whole bunch of them. Sanctuary gives you that 292 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: kind of breathing stay space. I do you feel like 293 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: you woke up in the entire world just is pitch 294 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: off its axis. Everything is upside down, nothing's making sense. 295 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: You couldn't even dream of this stuff. Could you dream 296 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: of cops getting big beat up by illegal aliens, them 297 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: being set free, a priest bailing them out. That Venezuela 298 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: and gangs can run rampant in New York City. They're 299 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: also running rampant in Miami as well. Do you know 300 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: how many years this the after effects of this are 301 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: going to go on? And we got it.

George Gascon's Prop forty seven, 339 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: and he co wrote it, eliminated that choice. So all 340 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: the drug users and drug possessors just continued using the 341 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: drugs until they became drug crazed vagrants. That's Gascon shoplifting. 342 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: Same thing. Under this revision, the third time you do it, 343 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: you'll get it. You can go to prison on a 344 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: felony charge. The way it is now under Prop forty seven, 345 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: you could steal every day. There's no consequences, there's no jail. 346 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Todd Spitzer coming up. I'm gonna 347 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: play a couple of stories because I want you to 348 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: see what. You know, what what ten years of this 349 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: has done. You just hear things every to me, every day, 350 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: every day I hear something, It's like I couldn't have 351 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: dream dreamt of this. Well. This story is from KTLA 352 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: Rachel Mentov it's cut number two and it's about how 353 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: a famous recording studio they're thinking of closing down the 354 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: latest indignity as some homeless person broke in and pooped 355 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: on the drum set. 356 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 5: It's an iconic music studio that's produced some of history's 357 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 5: most famous songs over the last sixty five years. Janis Joplin, 358 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 5: Prince Elton, John, the Beatles, and Miley Cyrus or just 359 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 5: a few of the artists to grace the recording studios 360 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 5: at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood. 361 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: This is a place of creativity and art. You know, 362 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: artists come here to be inspired, feels safe. 363 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 5: But this creative space has been plagued by problems. It 364 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 5: says are largely due to these homeless encampments which surround 365 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 5: the property. Drew Dempsey, the marketing director, says conditions have 366 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 5: worsened in recent weeks. 367 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: The one gentleman here has a neon light inside of 368 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: his tent that says open, and he's stealing our power 369 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: and our water and deals drugs out of there every day. 370 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 5: And on Sunday night, a break in resulted in the 371 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 5: theft of blank checks, forcing owner Paul Camarata to close 372 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 5: all of the studio's checking accounts. 373 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 6: What they did do was they like defecated on a 374 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 6: drum set. So we pretty much determined with the police 375 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 6: that that's a homeless thing. 376 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 5: So the break in is a symptom, he says, of 377 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 5: a larger problem. For example, in twenty twenty two, two 378 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 5: fires erupted right outside the building, burning much of the exterior, 379 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 5: and they originated from tents pitched along the sidewalk. Studio 380 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 5: execs shared another anecdote from a pre pandemic run in Taylor. 381 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 5: Swift was working with a fellow musician at the studio, 382 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 5: walked across the street to the seven eleven and was 383 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 5: accosted by a homeless person, prompting the pop star to say, 384 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 5: she's never coming back here again. 385 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 7: Concerns are, you know, for the safety of our clients, 386 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 7: the experience of the clients have when they're here. 387 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 5: In the words of Prince, it has been a painful struggle, 388 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 5: one which the studio hopes can be solved with more 389 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 5: help from city officials. 390 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: I've seen effectively where the city has moved. 391 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 6: In and cleaned up areas that were a blight and 392 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 6: were a blight, and why we're not getting any you 393 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 6: know attention, I don't know. 394 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 5: The studio is weighing all of its options, including adding 395 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 5: cameras and possibly installing razor wire. It's also thinking about 396 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 5: hiring security guards to escort people in and out of 397 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 5: the building. But that's another personal expense it has to consider. 398 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: And that's Rachel Menotav from Katla five. 399 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 6: So. 400 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: Los Angeles used to be the center of the creative world, 401 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: right and you heard the musicians that are recorded there, 402 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: Prince and Elton John and Janis Joplin. So songs that 403 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: were recorded there and that people have been singing and 404 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: enjoying and listening to for fifty years. Same place is 405 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: now the center of some weird, creepy, drug addicted mental 406 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: patient who comes in and craps on the drum set. 407 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: Imagine owning the business and you used to greet major 408 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: celebri and now you got to walk in there and go, 409 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: oh my god, get me a towel, you know, get 410 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: me some clorox, or do you maybe you have to 411 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: throw out the drum set because the city that you're 412 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: paying taxes to won't get these people off the streets. 413 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: And when they do get them off the streets, as 414 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: we told you, last hour. They put him in a 415 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: hotel that a private school had already occupied. And then 416 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: the private school has to close because all the crazy 417 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: people are running around naked scaring the students. But they 418 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: don't care about the private school. They don't care about 419 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: the students who don't have a school to go to. 420 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: They don't care about the owner of Sunset Sound. How 421 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: much in taxes have the owners of this studio paid 422 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: over the last fifty plus years. And you can't even 423 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: keep a guy out so he doesn't take a dump 424 00:25:54,040 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: on your drums.

Clean Up gets done when they got 428 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: to do the Grammys on television. But outside of that, 429 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: everyday people, everyday businesses. Karen Bass doesn't care. Nobody in 430 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: the city council cares. They're all busy getting bribed by 431 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: Chinese developers. You do realize that's the main business on 432 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: city council is taking in bribes from developers. That's what's 433 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: going on here.

I have more detail about my favorite 457 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: story of the day. What do you think My favorite 458 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: story of the day is the maggots. 459 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're the rotting fish in a suitcase on 460 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: a plane. 461 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: Rotting fish and the maggots. A Delta Airlines flight going 462 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: to Detroit from Amsterdam. So this is was I guess 463 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: by some Dutch person maybe, or somebody or a Detroit 464 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: resident who brought back a fish. So somebody put the 465 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: fish in the overhead travel bin. It was already rotting, 466 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: and it was rotting for so long that they had 467 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: to turn the plane around after an hour because maggots 468 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: were raining down on the paths. It was maggot rain. 469 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: One passenger, Philip Shottie, said he saw a woman across 470 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: the aisle trying to fight off these maggots. I guess 471 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: they were all fluttering and flying around and they're in 472 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: her air jump out of the plane. He thought it 473 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: was a prank. I was trying to process it. Disgust 474 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: is one thing, of course, he said. So the flight 475 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: attendants tracked the bugs to an overhead compartment fount a 476 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: rotting fish wrapped in newspaper inside one of the bags, 477 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: and he said everybody in the plane started holding their 478 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: nose once they opened up the bag. Here was the 479 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: airline statement. We apologized to the customers of flight one 480 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: thirty three as their trip was interrupted due to an 481 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: improperly packed carry on bag. The aircraft returned to the gate. 482 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: Customers replaced on the next available flight. The aircraft is 483 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: removed from service for cleaning and the carry on bag 484 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: was put inside a second bag burned. Because now wherever 485 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 1: you throw it, the maggots are going to go with it. 486 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: I mean if the fish think, I. 487 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 3: Mean, I don't eat fish, and even I know that 488 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 3: that's not something that you can not have in a 489 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: refrigerator or a fre reason. 490 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: No, no, it's really By the next day you start 491 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: getting a whiff of it.

You got to 494 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: be thrown in a Dutch prison, although a Dutch prison 495 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like much punishment, right.

But yet I'm looking around at all 535 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 3: these other people whose bag is even larger than mine, 536 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 3: they just happen to not see it, so mine they 537 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 3: have to check. 538 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: Well, that's because you're so tiny proportionally, that bag looks 539 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: much larger, like a really large person can carry that 540 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: bag and it looks like a little tiny purse. But 541 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: you carry it and it looks like a blow that. 542 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: There's something to that. I don't know about that. 543 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 3: I just I know that they happen to see mine 544 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 3: and where they happen to not see others, And it 545 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 3: really gets me mad. 546 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: It's an optical illusion. 547 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 7: Okay, fine, but there's traveling is and there's like no 548 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 7: sign it's going to get better. 549 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: I saw a photograph of the new Southwest Airline layout, 550 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: and it looks like they have they They've got a 551 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: whole new type of seats, and the seats look even 552 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: closer together, and it looks like they're hard. It's like 553 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: a hard flat back and a hard flat seat, and 554 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: it just looked wildly uncomfortable. And I thought, this is 555 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: the new design of the future. And I guess it 556 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: allows them to squeeze even more rose. 557 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 3: And I'm a small person and my legs are in 558 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 3: so much pain. 559 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: You don't have leg room when you go. 560 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 3: No, not really, just a teeny bit.
