Welcome everybody. We're 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: gonna get an update now on the big story from 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: last week. A manned by the name of Nicholas Gudierra's 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: of Diamond Bar drove his suv into a group of 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: jogging police recruits in an area of Whittier. He struck 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: twenty five of them, and several of them still four 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: of them still remain in critical condition. One apparently has 17 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: taken even a further turn for the worst. The other 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: development story that we're going to get to deals with 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: the fact that it looks like the man behind the 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: wheel and his family have done an interview with NBC 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: four where he's claiming that he was asleep it was 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: not a deliberate act. Well, let's bring on Steve Gregory. 23 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: First of all, the deputy what what what happened that 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: caused his condition to be. They're not gonna they're not 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: telling us that because that's all protected under a hip. 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: It's just that you know, he was in all a 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: hundred Martinez is his name. The sheriff department did release 28 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: the name, and he was one of the ones that 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: was the most severely injured, and that just said his 30 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,639 Speaker 1: condition had deteriorated and he was going backwards and that 31 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: he was in what they considered grave condition, which is 32 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: pretty pretty bad. That's the last stop. That's pretty much 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: the last stop. So I'm assuming head injury here. That's 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: what based on the way it was explained to me, 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: I think it's the one with the brain injury. Yeah, 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: UC Irvine, that's the way it was explained to me. 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: I'm putting that together. I've not had I don't have 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: that confirmed. I'm just saying that that's based on what 39 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: people have been telling me that it seems to be 40 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: the person that they're most concerned with. A right, what's 41 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: this explanation from the lawyer. There's an interview that's going 42 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: to run, Yeah, a channel four from the from the driver. 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: Did you see the promos for that? Colleen Williams is 44 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: doing the big interview tonight. I don't know if you 45 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: have you seen any of the promo clips. Now we 46 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: have we have we clip so you don't have the 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: video with it, just the audio to play. Well, why 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: don't we play it and then we'll talk about it here? Nicholas, 49 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: how often do you think about that? Dan? Sort of 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: replay it in your mind? Since the second happened. I've 51 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: been living in it like a welcome in a namare. 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: It's the same. I didn't intentionally do it. I wish 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: it had happened. I feel's essentially like I feel bad 54 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: it happened. As a mom, do you never want to 55 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: see your children go through this? Never that. The attorney 56 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: also mentioned that the injuries on Nicholas's face are not 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: from the accident itself, but rather as a result of 58 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: him being detained at the scene. We have reached out 59 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: to the Sheriff's department for a comment. We're still waiting 60 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: to hear back from them now. The family also pointed 61 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: out that Nicholas grew up in a law enforcement family. 62 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: A lot of his relatives, his aunts, his uncles, and 63 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: his own father are members of several branches of local 64 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: law enforcement here in the LA area, the HP, the 65 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department to LAPD, and his dad is a corrections officer. 66 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: And we also want to point out that even if 67 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: he did not intentionally do this, we know that he 68 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: could face criminal charges because of the severity of the 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: injuries and of course the magnitude of the crash. Okay, 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: apparently it's a job as an electrical engineer for a 71 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: solar panel company. Yeah, and I guess that the narrative 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: right now is that he was either headed, he was 73 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: headed to work, he was very tired, and that he 74 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: fell asleep. So I guess we'll wait to see more 75 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: of the explanation in the interview tonight. So I'm very 76 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: interested to see. But it's also, you know, let's let's 77 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: be honest here, there's an attorney involved, so I know 78 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: that there's you know, a bit of coaching involved here. Um. Well, 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: I mean, whenever you're on defense, you have to put 80 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: out your story, and I gotta be honest with you. 81 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: I was with some colleagues of mine today and we 82 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: were pretty surprised, even even under the tutelage of an attorney, 83 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 1: that this young man's coming out to speak so quickly 84 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: after this has happened. So I'll be I'll be watching 85 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: and listening tonight like most others, and I'll be very 86 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: curious on how it shapes up. But I do know 87 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: that the Sheriff's department is working on the case and 88 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: they are still you know, just as of me talking 89 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: with some officials in the last few hours. They say, 90 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: basically the threshold is that they wanted to make sure 91 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: they have They are still comfortable and confident in the 92 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: evidence they have, but they want to make sure they 93 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: have it beyond reasonable doubt. In no way either one, 94 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure, go ahead, Well, thank you. That's the first 95 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: time I've ever heard that happen. It's usually he that 96 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: says you go ahead. I guess he can talk louder. Well. 97 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: I just wanted to point out in that little clip 98 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: we played that was College Williams. He's thinking that he 99 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: was interviewing the mother was there with her son, Nicholas 100 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: gutiis Uh, did you notice that they pointed out in 101 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: the report that went with it that the injuries on 102 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: his face, You've seen the pictures of him, right, it 103 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: was not from the accent, not from the action. They 104 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: pumbled him. That's what they're going to claim, that those 105 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: recruits supposed to pubbled him at the scene. Yeah, you 106 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: can't imagine they'd be pretty emotionally worked up if everybody 107 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: all those guys that were hit. Yeah, you know. And again, 108 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how that's going to be defended one 109 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: way or another, how that's going to be proven one 110 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: way or another. Um, there's the there's the footage on scene, 111 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: but I don't know how far that footage goes that 112 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: that footage now, I think everyone has seen of the 113 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: of the SUV, the smallest UV that goes up to 114 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: the crowd, but the TV stations won't show the complete 115 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: version of it. You've seen saw the unedited version this 116 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: morning and is highly disturbing. It is just it it's 117 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: surreal because when that vehicle on the video, it just 118 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: it shows no evidence of slowing down and it just 119 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: goes right into that crowd of people and all you 120 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: see is bodies flying and you just see bodies going everywhere, 121 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you see it hit 122 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: this pole and then you see the pole go over, 123 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: and then you just see chaos, absolute chaos, um and 124 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: it was it was just so surreal. It's like it's 125 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: like a bowling ball with bowling pins. It's exactly he 126 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: is driving on the wrong side of the right. Does 127 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: the video give an indication how long he was driving along? No, 128 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: because of the of the frame that you see. You 129 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: see a couple of the cars come by on the 130 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: proper or on the right side of the road, and 131 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you see this just out 132 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: of nowhere coming up on the top of the screen 133 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: where the where the platoon is jogging. You just see 134 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: that issue if you just come right into the crowd, 135 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: and where's that video from? Whose camera was that it was? 136 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: It was a homeowner, that was it's a home that's 137 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: the backyard backyard video. Yeah, yeah, John, you've seen that. 138 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: You saw that. I saw I saw the video, Yeah, right, 139 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: I just I didn't know who it was a homeowner's 140 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: backyard video. Yeah. We were wondering if there was another 141 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: video we haven't seen, but that's the only one. And 142 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: I guess this guy I heard had shopped it around 143 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: and so he sold it to the highest bidder. Basically, 144 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: was that right, there's money in that um van a wave. 145 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 1: It came out on our show and I imagine other places. 146 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: I said very definitively that it was intentional. Obviously, the 147 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: lawyer and that little clip we played of the driver, 148 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: they're insisting it isn't. It's the most benign explanation, not 149 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: even drunk under any kind of influence, just simply fell asleep. Right, Uh, 150 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: how is van away? So sure? Again, I'm not spoken 151 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: to him directly about it, but some of the others 152 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: I've spoken with it have knowledge of the case, have 153 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: told me that it's based. It starts from witnesses on scene, 154 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: i e. The actual recruits, what they heard, what they saw, 155 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: combined with the interview they did with Nicholas Gutierrez, combined 156 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: with the videos that they've been seeing. That all added 157 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: up in their opinion, their investigative opinion, that all added 158 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: up to intent. Did as anyone said, We saw him 159 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: on the other side of the road, and then the 160 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: car drifted or swerved because the video indicates him driving 161 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: in a straight line. You know, I had a pretty 162 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: good clip and I wondered how he got there. It's 163 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: that's a great question. If he fell asleep and swerved 164 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: or drifted right, why didn't he keep going and Joe 165 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: the curb. And what I wanted to know was at 166 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: what point? How far back? Yeah, because I'm trying to 167 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: figure out the distance between point of impact too out 168 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: of the frame and how far down and whether he 169 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: turned onto a road or he was on that road 170 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: the whole time where they came from a side street. 171 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I will tell you the answer 172 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: to your question is we won't know, because that's going 173 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: to be a very important part of the investigation. That'll 174 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: go to intent. How soon did he swerve or veer 175 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: over into the lane, whether intentional or not. How soon 176 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: did he do that? And for how long? And remember 177 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: there were people on scene that said they heard the 178 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: vehicle accelerate right, And there were at least two different 179 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: witness accounts that I had been told about where they 180 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: said that when they got to the vehicle, his foot 181 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: was still on the accelerator. Yeah, after a point of impact, 182 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: I mean after it came to rest at that light pole. 183 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: So they made it sound like they had to fight 184 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: him to get his foot off the accelerator. The first 185 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: stories we heard, I said, I think a lot of 186 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: this is going to boil down to the initial few 187 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the couple first minutes of contact with him. 188 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be really key to how 189 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: this is going to be prosecuted. He told Channel four 190 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: this is the driver Gautierius that he was following turn 191 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: by turn directions on a mapping app on his cell 192 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: phone and he was unfamiliar with the Rudy who's taking 193 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: to a job. And I still don't know how that explains. 194 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: You're on the wrong side of the road and he 195 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: falls asleep while he's trying to find a route. I mean, right, USA, 196 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: that keeps you awake. It might be a fall asleep. 197 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: Through discovery or subpoena, they're going to be able to 198 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: tell phone whether or not he was doing it. All right, 199 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: here's the thing. And then the next paragraph, Right, what 200 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: did I just say a Rudy was unfamiliar with the 201 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: next paragraph said, working to working as an electrician installing 202 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: solar panels, he took the same route he travels every day. Well, 203 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: which is it? You travel it every day? You're unfamiliar 204 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: with it because they said they repeatedly have interviewed him 205 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: and his story has been consistent. But that's not consistent there, 206 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: he says. I fell asleep. I woke up to the 207 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: sound of the recruits banging on the windows. Yeah, it 208 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: sounded to me like you had to go to a 209 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: job which is a job site they may not have 210 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: been to before, to work on the solar panels. But yeah, 211 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: that makes sense if it's Rudy takes every day. Well, 212 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: we're going to get to hear his side of the 213 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: story tonight. Yeah, and then I'm sure you'll have it 214 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: all cut up for tomorrow, and then I will be 215 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: interesting interested to see how soon the prosecutors will be 216 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: convinced that they have enough and he'll be re arrested. 217 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: One final note, Alejandro Martinez, who Steve mentioned, is in 218 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: critical condition and he's been downgraded to grave condition. Viennuevas 219 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: swore him in as a full deputy yesterday and that nice. 220 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: Oh wow, Well then that means he'll get benefits and stuff. 221 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: So he must have been He must have been one 222 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: of the sheriff's recruits because the other recruits were from 223 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: Bell Glendale in Pasadena, right, So he must have been 224 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: one of the Sheriff's recruits. So that's good, right, Sheriff's 225 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Academy Class six four sixty four. All right, we got 226 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: more coming up.

No COVID test, No, I 236 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: did not because I didn't feel that I had not well, 237 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: I haven't had COVID yet. But it didn't it didn't progress. 238 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: And so I said to myself, Okay, if I'm still 239 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: feeling crappy Saturday, I will test.

But no, I'm I'm feeling much better. 244 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: I think it's because of my healthy diet. That's right, 245 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: that I only battled a cold for twenty four hours. Right, 246 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: that's my guest. You frighten the virus out of the system. 247 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: It's swimming around and there it's just running into cattle 248 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: molecules and avocada molecules. Like I don't want to be here.

I believe that sounds 255 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: like non food. Oh so good. It had vegetables and 256 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: noodles and tight food.

Somebody's making turkey, 269 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: but it's not you. Absolutely, it's not going to be 270 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: leaves and sticks and you have to run somewhere else 271 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: for the turkey's cooking. I'm not going to be much 272 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: from your vegan sentim. Do you eat in a separate room? Oh? 273 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: I don't.

It was a Democratic staffer 329 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: who said it. We'll talk about this love that life 330 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: coming up. Johnny ken KF I am six forty live 331 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Well, now for an update 332 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: over the man that has presided over the crash of 333 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles these last nine years, none other than Eric Garcetti, 334 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: R Rhodes Scholar, who will finally move on from this 335 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: position in early December, when I guess Karen Bath takes 336 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: the oath and replaces him. This mayor, did you call 337 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: a Karen Bath? No? I said bass, Okay, yeah, And 338 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be Ambassador to India, but the nomination 339 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: has been held up. Now will there be a vote soon. Well, 340 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, the El Segundo Times it's reporting and says 341 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: the problem is that they've got to deal with the 342 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: debt ceiling. It's a very short session coming up. The 343 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: Garcetti vote to be put off till next year, so 344 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: which means he will have nothing at least a month 345 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: or two. You know, it's fascinating that the Times keeps 346 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: covering this story, and it's like they're still trying to 347 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: create some kind of a groundswell here, you know, some 348 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: kind of momentum, like you think there's a whole lot 349 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: of Garcetti fans wondering. Nobody is calling what's happening with 350 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: the nomination? Shouldn't they have voted on it by now? Right? Right, 351 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: there's there's nobody calling in lobbying the writers or the 352 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: editors to say, hey, what's the latest on Garcetti? Is 353 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: he going to India? Not one voter is calling. I 354 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: don't think anybody in the Democratic Party is calling. Right. 355 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: We only update the story because I think it's funny 356 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: that this guy's left hanging. Oh it is funny. See 357 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: he deserves it, and oh you should see the quotes 358 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: in the story from him. But I want to read this. 359 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: A staffer for one Democratic senator agreed that Garcetti's path 360 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: to approval of Pears murky, with his boss remaining on 361 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: the fence about the Garcetti nation and not anxious for 362 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: the matter to come to a vote. Quote said the staffer, 363 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: who asked to remain anonymous, because of the sensitivity of 364 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: the nomination process, It's very analogous to win a house 365 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: has been on the market for two years. You said 366 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: to yourself, there must be something wrong with this house. 367 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: I just don't see an upside for anyone pushing this 368 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: vote ahead, because because the stories involving Rick Jacobs are 369 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: gross and disgusting, and behind every story is three more 370 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: stories that didn't make the newspaper or didn't make an affidavit. 371 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: And everybody knows this that whenever these sexual scandals break out, 372 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: you're just here in a fraction of what went on, 373 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: and now a fraction of the number of conversations that 374 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: Garcetti witnessed or the number of times he was told. 375 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: And so the politicians not credible that Garcetti did not 376 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: know about this, No, barely credible that he never saw this. 377 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: That's really the bottom line here. Yeah, it's it's it's 378 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: just impossible. Everybody knows it's impossible, and what they're afraid 379 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: of is that more stuff is going to come out. Well, 380 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: did you see there's two new people. Yes, Chuck Grassley 381 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: is the Republican senator that's been looking into this that 382 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: called to halt in the nomination process. By the way, 383 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: gar said he was confirmed by a committee of the Senate, 384 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: but the full Senate vote never happened, and he said 385 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: two new individuals who have alleged inappropriate behavior by Jacobs 386 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: have surfaced. One of the men, a long time civic activist, 387 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: said that he spoke last week to two Grassley staffers, 388 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: telling him that Jacobs greeted him in at least eight 389 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: occasions in an inappropriate way, forcibly kissing him on the 390 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: mouth while he usually grabbed his buttocks. Well that's a 391 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: way to have a morning, like Hi, how you doing? Hey? Wow? 392 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: Can you get your hands out of there? The activist. 393 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: The activist said he met with Jacobs on municipal business 394 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: and at holiday parties that Jacobs added his house and 395 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: on there. In the last of the instances, Jacobs squeezed 396 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: his buttocks while he met the Garcetti Ate at his 397 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: city hall office. Yeah, he was at Jacob's office in 398 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: city Hall. Oh oh right, right, Jacobson. Yeah, it was 399 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: a confused all right. So he went to Jacob's office. 400 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: It's city hall, and he got the cheek squeezed. He 401 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: got it too, He got it holiday parties usually, but 402 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: at least one occasion at the office. All the other 403 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: unwelcome greetings happened before Jacobs joined the mayor's office, the 404 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: man said. He said he didn't recall an instance when 405 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: Garcetti witnessed the conduct, said he told his wife about 406 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: the encounters. She confirmed in a separate interview that her 407 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: husband complained about Jacobs. He's a Democratic Party operative didn't 408 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: want to be identified because he feared Garcetti or his 409 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: allies might might disparage him. Oh, that's what's going on 410 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: in the insular political circles of Los Ange. That's why 411 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: a lot of these people that entered the inner city 412 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: hall office of Garcetti have not come forward. They fear 413 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: for their few. This was the killer line to me. 414 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: He said. He never complained to Garcetti or his aids 415 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: for the same reason, because he worried that he would 416 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: appear homophobic and This is how nuts the world has gotten. 417 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: You go into a guy's office, he kisses you on 418 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: the mouth, grabs your butt cheeks, and you're afraid that 419 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: you're going to appear homophobic. No, it's that that behavior 420 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: is revolting unless you want it. This man also said 421 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: that he believes Jacob's behavior was so brazen and so 422 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: routine he thought Garcetti must have known about it. He 423 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: has no first ten knowledge of Garsetti being there when 424 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: obviously Jacobs did this, but he believes, just like we 425 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: just said, he must have known about it. It was 426 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: the talk of the office. Yeah, so more people are 427 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: coming out. You know, grashually got these two and their 428 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: stories just just last week, so you know, of course 429 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: there's more and there's gonna be more people. You know 430 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: how many people went to Rick as Rick Jacobs was 431 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: the fixer in the Garcetti administration. He handled all kinds 432 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: of political issues, all the incoming, right, and he did 433 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: a lot of behind the scenes work, a lot of fundraising. 434 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: You know, somebody's got to steer the political ship while 435 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: Garcetti did whatever he did in running the city. Yes, 436 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 1: so ground right, because because there were big plans for 437 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: him to run for president. The only reason he ran 438 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: for mayor was to become president. Obviously he ended up 439 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: with zero interest in being mayor. And what is clear, 440 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: he was never going to be president, especially after this scandal. 441 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: That's why he he just completely withdrew and hasn't done 442 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: a damn thing in what a year. And here is 443 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: the quote I wanted to read the nikes GARCETI, to 444 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: me look like Nixon. Well, he said, the subject of 445 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: the sex harassment allegations has not dominated his many zoom 446 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: phone and in person meetings with senators. It's been clear. 447 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: I think I think the evidence is crystal clear. Too, 448 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: said he did not know about jacobs purported misbehavior. The 449 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: conversations with senators revolve around India and the strategic moment 450 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: that we're living through and my qualifications. I haven't had 451 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: a single conversation that hasn't ended positively. I doubt you're 452 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: really having any with senators. I really doubt that there's 453 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: one or two and some Connecticut senator that's been pushing 454 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: for Garcetti. That's about answer. And they'll give you the 455 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: happy talk if you do have a conversation. Of course 456 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: they'll go at a happy talk. But You don't see 457 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: any of them going public and saying we must, we 458 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: must approve Garcetti's ambassadorship. Now nobody is nobody notice, nobody's trying, 459 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: nobody's creating any public movement for this. They're all hoping 460 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: it goes away. Now, why Biden doesn't quietly give up, 461 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. But again, well we don't know what 462 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: he's aware of. Garcetti said, he spoke to the president, 463 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: to the President, spoke to me personally. He said, let's 464 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: get this done. Let's get you over there now. I 465 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: like this part. Taylor Foy, who's a representative for the 466 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: Senator Chuck Grassley, said the two additions accounts of Jacob's 467 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: behavior raised more questions about the accuracy of a report 468 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: commissioned by the City Attorney's office and completed by attorney 469 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: named Leslie Ellis that found Garcetti, Jacobs and others had 470 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 1: done nothing wrong. Jacobs had done nothing wrong. Yes, remember 471 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: that was that internal whitewash report. We talked about it 472 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: last summer and there was a load of lies. It 473 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: was a load of life. No, not even Jacobs didn't 474 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: anything wrong. Jacobs did nothing wrong. See something to the 475 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: effect of people were misinterpreting or imagining things. I remember 476 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: the exact wording. But you grab a guy by the buttox, 477 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: how is he post him and how is he supposed 478 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: to interpret that? I don't think I've ever been grabbed 479 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: by the buttocks by a guy, not even have to 480 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: hit a home run. There weren't a lot of home 481 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: runs the butts lab and I was eleven, so we 482 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: didn't get that. Garcetti's parents, Gil and Suki, continue to 483 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: pay a lobbying firm to push for their son's nomination. Well, 484 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: McGuire woods is reported receiving sixty grand for the worst 485 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: grand Where did Gil Garcetti get that money from?

A 504 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: couple of new developments in the murders of those Idaho 505 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: college students, a real mystery. Four of them were killed 506 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: in a home that three of them lived in in 507 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: the early morning hours, and then we learned that two 508 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: roommates were there too, but they were not stabbed. They survived, 509 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: and they don't believe they're suspects in the case. But 510 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: there's been a few things to talk about. Well, we'll 511 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: get to it. It's a very very strange case. It's 512 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: really upsetting the entire community of Moscow, Idaho. We'll also 513 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: talk about Governor Dippity Do he's changed his mind on 514 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: the homeless funding after saying just a couple of weeks 515 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: ago that he had rejected all the homeless plans at 516 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: local cities and counties submitted to the state to try 517 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: to cut it out of the homeless problem. He's going 518 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: to keep funding all the failed homeless programs. He met 519 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: with them Friday and he just said, yeah, for now, 520 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: we'll give you the money and then we'll take a 521 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: look at it again in a year. Go out and fail, 522 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: go out and create more homeless. We get to all 523 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: of that coming up in the four o'clock hour. Well, 524 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: since our animal ladies back, we have a tale to 525 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: tell with a real warning, particularly depending on where you live. 526 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: If you are in an area where it's possible that 527 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: mountain lions roam, you have to be very careful when 528 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: you walk your little dog because in the Hollywood Hills 529 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: Friday evening, a man was walking a nine year old dog. 530 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: It was a Chihuahua mix named Piper. She was least 531 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: walking behind the dog walker and guess what pounced out 532 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: of the nearby woods. There a mountain lion and quickly 533 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: snatched a little dog and took off. There was actually 534 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: video video of everything. Yeah, well, it's near the Hollywood Reservoir. 535 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: So I guess there's cameras there since it's a you know, 536 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: a facility that they run and you can actually see 537 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: the mountain lions. Near Creston and Durand Avenue shows a 538 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: large collared mountain lion emerging from the brush, creeping along 539 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: the road and then crouching as he sees the small 540 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: walking party. So I've told you I've seen cats do 541 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: this sometimes in the early morning hours. They're crouched down 542 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: watching me go by because they're in that hunting mode. 543 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: My cat does that. Oh yeah, that's she high like 544 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: around the corner and well, I mean there's nothing to 545 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: pounce on, no, but it's just it's just a position, right, 546 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's like a military maneuvers, right. They 547 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: go through the vert chains rehearsals night. It's kind of 548 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: some sort of training. Yeah, or maybe they did hear 549 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: something briefly that gets their interest and they get down 550 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: and the crouch, whether it's something that they want to 551 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: attack or they want to some tide away from a 552 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: possible attack. Earth Sometimes she jumps the dog just for sport. 553 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Yeah, Oh, that's funny. Sometimes claws 554 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: out or just do a hiss like that. Just trying 555 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: to stay in practice. Yeah, because the big day comes. 556 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: Used to go in action. She's always ready for a fight. 557 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: Seconds later, the recording shows the Mountain Lion pounced from 558 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: behind and rest a little dog backwards. Now, the dog walker, 559 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: who wanted to remain anonymous, said, I felt the tug 560 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: and I heard Piper squeal. Oh no, he said, it 561 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: was like a two or three seconds struggle. He had 562 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: Piper in his mouth. Mountain Lion didn't growl at all, 563 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: didn't even hear him. I never had a chance to 564 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: save the dog, just ran off and head dinner. You 565 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: cannot have your little dog walking behind you. You can't. 566 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: I have my dogs always walking in front of him. 567 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: I do too, I always have the dog in front 568 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: of me. Yeah, John, you took a precaution or you 569 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,959 Speaker 1: just that's just the way. No, I just well because 570 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: because sometimes the dogs walk the owner, because they just 571 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: go running. No, because he's a jumpie dog, and I 572 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: got to make sure he doesn't run in front of 573 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: a bike or a car. Or he likes to he 574 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: likes to challenge other dogs along the way. Like yesterday afternoon, 575 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: there were four dog fights my dog and other dogs, 576 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean barking fights. But if I'd let go of him, 577 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: it would be a physical fight. He's nuts, haven't ye? 578 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: How come some dogs like to play in tuss of 579 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: other dogs like to just be nasty and aggressive like yours. 580 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: You know how you just certain people you like and 581 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: certain people you don't. I think that's just what an 582 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: old belt dog is not like. But they know, I mean, 583 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: I understand, you know, he just just doesn't like most 584 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: other dogs. And it's territorial too, even if they're walking outside, 585 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: they just sot like, this is my territory. I've got 586 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: to keep him in front of me because he'll find 587 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: a way at a wheedle under like a wire or 588 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: mesh fence and then get in the other dog's face, 589 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: but be on the other side of the fence, and 590 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: then you know, there could be blood. So they have 591 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: identified the mountain line, though they believe it's uh well, 592 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: it says no one has positively identified, but it's likely 593 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: p twenty two. It's an eleven year old who hangs 594 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: out in Griffith Park. They trapped them ten years ago, 595 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: fastened on the radio tracking caller and they give them 596 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: the names pee like I said pete for puma, I 597 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: don't know which one's twenty two, widely known in the area, 598 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: periodically spotted on home security cameras, are showing up in 599 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: people's driveways like he did last month, and most feless, 600 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: probably a good food supply nearby. Piper's owner Daniel Himenez, 601 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: is devastated at the loss of the little chihuahua. They 602 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: adopted it in twenty fourteen. She was the sweetest dog 603 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 1: and when they told him by text, he thought it 604 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: was a joke. The text read the mountain line attacked 605 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: and took your dog, killed your dog. Turns out it 606 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: was real and we were just shocked. Ye had the 607 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: decency to call. Yeah, you should. You should inform somebody 608 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: believe in text when they're when guessing the dog walker 609 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: did this, tell them it's rude. Yeah, a good job 610 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: doing the dog walk there, he said. It turned out 611 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: that text was real, and we were just shocked. Yeah. 612 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: Number one rule for dog walker, don't let the dog 613 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: get eaten. And they're saying, if you have a small 614 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: dog and you're in these areas where it's possible to 615 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: the mountain lion, please do not be out there from 616 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: dusktal dawn.
