Speaker 1: All right, we are now going to talk to a

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: mother from Long Beach, Lily Gossage, whose sixteen year old

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: son Aiden was crossing the street in Long Beach back

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: in September of twenty twenty one and he was run

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: over a car driven by Kevin Doll. And Kevin dal

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: entered a plea agreement this month and he's only going

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: to get six months of a sentence, thirty days of

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: community service and two years of probation, and then the

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: conviction will be reclassified as a misdemeanor. Lily is very upset,

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: and so is Aiden's father, Greg, and Lily and Greg

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: are with us. Now we'll talk to Lily here and

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: then if Greg you can, you can chime in.

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: With whatever you'd like.

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: He was Kevin dal was originally charged with a felony

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: account of the hicular manslaughter with gross negligence, which should

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 1: get him two to six years, but now it looks

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: like it's a it's a six month sentence at most. Lily,

27
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Johnny Ken Show, a John Cobalt Show. Sorry,

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: thank you for coming here.

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: Thank you.

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm really sorry, thank you. Everything you've gone through is

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: just the just the worst worst tragedy.

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 4: Here.

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: I know it's hard, but if you could tell us

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: what happened to your son that day, what happened to Aiden.

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: It's okay, it's been it's been about two and al

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: half years. September fourth, twenty twenty one, around nine o'clock,

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: Aidan was crossing the street in a marked, very well

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: lit crosswalk less than a mile from our home and

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: mister at All was also traveling down that street on

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: Los Coyotes Diagonal in Deborah, and he was speeding and

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: he he collided with my son Aiden. Aidan's body was

42
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 3: wedged on the top of his car. The speed at

43
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: which he was going was enough to shatter his phone.

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 3: Since then, I've read the autopsy reports and I could

45
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: tell just from the forensic pathology, this gentleman had to

46
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: be driving at a very high rate of speed, and

47
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: I retracted he's out a gentleman. This man nearly everyone

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: in Aidan's body was broken as his body was wedged

49
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: on the car. The car kept on going because of

50
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 3: skiddy like. I think it was about one hundred and

51
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: sixty feet. My husband could provide the details. It's hard

52
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 3: to even think about the details. When he finally came

53
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: to stop a halt, Aidan's body was flown I think

54
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 3: another thirty feet from what we remember from the preliminary

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: hearing that was given. And the neighbors had heard the

56
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 3: commotion the collision. Many of them are parents. They ran

57
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: out to see what was going on. I believed there

58
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: were three gentlemen, two from the neighborhood and one that

59
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: made you turned to stop and help in. Two or

60
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: three mothers that were there. They sided and on the

61
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: street there, and they were trying to provide necessitation. One

62
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: of the mother's Lory was able to to see mister

63
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: Dall out there, and she had noticed his behavior that

64
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: night and when she had asked his name. I'm not

65
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: sure what he said, but he provided some misinformation about

66
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: his age. She had mentioned something like, I smelled alcohol

67
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: in your breath. He ran back to his car. This

68
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 3: is what she had reported to Long Beach PD, that

69
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: he was drinking a gulp in a soda or something

70
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: in his car. At that time. They had asked him

71
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: to call nine one one, so no one else on

72
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: site called. They were trying to provide support to Aiden.

73
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: They were waiting quite a long time, and so Laurie

74
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: ran back into her house to get her daughter and

75
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: nephew to call. We found out later he never called.

76
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: He called his dad and staid.

77
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: How old is Kevin Dall?

78
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: He's thirty three. He's a jolly yes. At that time.

79
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: Now, so this was on target for being a prosecution

80
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: of a felony, and somehow this plead deal eventually would

81
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: reduce it to a misdemeanor, and so he's getting six months.

82
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: What happened? Have you talked with La County prosecutors? Is

83
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: this some kind of George gascon edict?

84
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: My husband could probably provide a response.

85
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: You know, higher John, you know we were there. We

86
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 5: were there in pursuing to the Marcy's Law that afforded

87
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 5: us a discussion with DA's office and they did say that,

88
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: you know, we're going to offer a plea deal and

89
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 5: it's going to be six months thirty days cal trans

90
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 5: duty in two years probation in exchange for playing guilty

91
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 5: to the felony, and it'll be dropped to a misdemeanor

92
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 5: at the end of the probation period. We asked if

93
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: we had any input with that decision, and the D's

94
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 5: office did say, no, we've decided this is what we're

95
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: going to.

96
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: So there was there was no appealing this.

97
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: No, we're not afforded any appeal by law. I guess uh.

98
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: And uh no, Well, you know, I'm looking through the

99
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: case and and the police thought that he might have

100
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: been under the influence, but he wouldn't do a t

101
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: A d U I test at the scene.

102
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

103
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: And by the time they drew his blood, it didn't

104
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: it didn't have He was not at an intoxicated level.

105
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: That's correct, But you don't need impairment to prove prove

106
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: gross negligence. So we're not you know, we haven't really

107
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 3: investigated that they were unable to draw his blood in jail.

108
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: He was just driving way too fast. Especially it was

109
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: it was near a curve, was it not?

110
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: No, it was not. He couldn't see a And we've

111
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 3: done testing along that curve. Aiden couldn't see him. So

112
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: we actually did you know, accident reading that reconstruction at

113
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: that speed when you when you drive so fast, you

114
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: don't afford yourself enough time to inspect and scan the road.

115
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: You know, people are calling it a blind curve. It's

116
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: only blind if you're blind. It's only blind if you

117
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: don't look. If it's only blind if you're impaired. So, no,

118
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 3: he could see the curve. There's nowhere along last Coyotes

119
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: where there are any other intersections, so you can clearly

120
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: see the crosswalk. It's very well lit. He had at

121
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: least eight seconds to inspect that. We don't know what

122
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: he was doing in that eight seconds. You know, Officer

123
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: Ready didn't ask him, so we don't. We will never know.

124
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear this should not be a six month

125
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: sentence here, that he should be getting the two or

126
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: six year sentence. And do you have but in discussing

127
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: reading between the lines with the with the prosecutors, is

128
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: this routine that they plea bargain and downgrade these cases.

129
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: Or is this part of you know, the gascon revolution

130
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: where nobody really goes to jail for any length of time,

131
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: no matter what the circumstances are.

132
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, John, I think it's a little combination of both.

133
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 5: What we were told about the DA's office is that

134
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 5: this is the going rate for the Hegel and manslaugh

135
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: or Ewi County. There are other cases in the past

136
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: that got the same sentence.

137
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: Well, the going rate should be what's in the law.

138
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: The going rate is two to six years according.

139
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: To the law.

140
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 5: Well, that's the will of the people the state of California.

141
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: What is there a fire sale going on now discounted

142
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: to six months.

143
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. There may be, But I think

144
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 5: the problem really is that we've got a lot of

145
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 5: people going into jail on a regular basis and not

146
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 5: as many people that come out of jail because they

147
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 5: have to try to complete their full sentence. So the

148
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 5: jail doesn't magically get bigger when more and more people

149
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: go into serve the sentence, so they have to kick

150
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: people out. And that's really the reason why people are

151
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 5: not spending their entire sentence in jail.

152
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: All right, well, Greg and Lilly Gossage, thank you for

153
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: telling your story about your son Aiden. Again, our condolences

154
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,160

155
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: let us know. Oh wait, one thing further. You have

156
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: a you have an online petition and people can go

157
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:31,360

Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, John, I appreciate it.

167
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 4: You're welcome.

168
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: When we come back, I'll get back to the story

169
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: about LA being stripped for parts, all the copper wires

170
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: being being stolen and that's why LA is going dark.

171
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.

172
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: Forty Earlier in the show, we started talking about this

173
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: and then we had to switch to an interview that

174
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: was scheduled, but I just want to reiterate this.

175
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: And expand on it.

176
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: The copper wire thefts in Los Angeles have turned the

177
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: lights out on the city. Boyle Heights, Lincoln Heights, El

178
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Sereno alone in East LA had three seven hundred and

179
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: thirty eight street lights go out because these guys are

180
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: stealing the copper wire and they've cost the city seventeen

181
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: million dollars. That's seventeen million dollars worth of thefts of

182
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: copper wire, and so all the street lights go dark.

183
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: And now Tracy Park and Kevin de Leon City council

184
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: people have teamed up. They're trying to fight the thefts.

185
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: Now Tracy Park is great, Kevin de Leon not so much.

186
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: But they're putting together a task force, a task force,

187
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: and they're going to try to get the public involved

188
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: by offering you money if you give tips on who's

189
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: stealing the copper wire, and they're going to create public

190
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: service announcements to try to inspire you to call in

191
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:48,359
Speaker 1: copper wire theft tips. Tracy says, we see it everywhere,

192
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: wiring and other materials stolen from our public infrastructure, and

193
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: it's construction sites and other locations.

194
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: And I'm reading this story.

195
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: And what I don't see here is why don't you

196
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: catch these people and put them in prison? And why

197
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: isn't the copper wire protected in a way so it's

198
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: difficult for these guys to steal it. I remember David

199
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: Goldstein piece on Channel two some years ago where they

200
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: were pulling it out of boxes that were mounted on

201
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the ground just off the freeway, and it was easy

202
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: to pry open these these metal It was like, you know,

203
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: you've seen them on the side of the road, right,

204
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: these are like metal boxes. You pry them open, and

205
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: there's all sorts of connections and wires and things that

206
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: lead up to the street lamps. I don't know do

207
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: they have do they have ways of locking all that up?

208
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: Do they have do they have cameras? Is anything could

209
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: be done for it? I mean they do investigations now,

210
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: even recently they claim they've busted up some of the

211
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: smash and grab robbery rings, that they have busted up

212
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: some of the fits and rings, that they figured out

213
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: where the stolen merchandise from all these stories is being warehoused. Well,

214
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: why can't they do this with the copper wiring thieves?

215
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: There's only so many places you could sell copper wiring,

216
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: and why can't they secure the copper wiring, and why

217
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: don't they put these people in prison for a long time.

218
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday's story that we had on with Steve Gregory about

219
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: all the street takeovers, it was like, well, put the

220
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: guys in prison, take their cars away, confiscate them for good,

221
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: don't just impound them where they can get a back

222
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: for a few hundred dollars. They get citations when you

223
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: do street takeovers, citations nobody goes to If nobody goes

224
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: to prison, they're going to keep doing it. There's seventeen

225
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: million dollars that's been that's been made here.

226
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: I'm just astonished.

227
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: How does how do thieves commit just in one section

228
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: of the city thirty seven hundred crimes and nothing is

229
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: done and nobody goes to jail. How could that possible happened? Nobody,

230
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: nobody in government cares. And then the response is, uh,

231
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, are gonna have a task for us. You

232
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: need some guys with guns here, and you need to

233
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: go after these copper thieves, and you got to put

234
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: them in prison for a long time. They gotta get

235
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: be treated really badly in prison for a few years

236
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: and then this stuff will stop more coming up.

237
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 6: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am sixty.

Speaker 1: And if you want the moistline, it's eight seven seven

246
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: Moist eighty six, eight seven seven in Moist eighty six.

247
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, we talked about a story

248
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: that was in the El Segundo Times, essentially colin by

249
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: Steve Lopez, who had an interview with Steve Gordon, who's

250
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: the new DMV director, and Steve Gordon had appeared on

251
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: a radio show with Lopez and the Lopez is going

252
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: through all the absurdities of the DMV, especially older drivers

253
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: now at the age of seventy have to take this

254
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: test to renew their license. You know, you can't get

255
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: an automatic renewal at that age, and it's a test

256
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: full of really obscure questions, things you never need to know,

257
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: you've never heard of, and people were failing left and

258
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: right as if they were senile, and they weren't. It

259
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: was just a government being stupid asking things that are irrelevant. Well,

260
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: Gordon was trying to be conciliatory, saying, you know, I

261
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: appreciate the coverage here. I'm going to investigate this. We're

262
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: going to remove some of those questions. Well, we got

263
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: another job for him here because NBC four has a story,

264
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: has a story about people are getting ripped off. You're

265
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: paying your registration fee online and the DMV is charging extra,

266
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: unnecessary late fees and nobody knows why, but it's happening

267
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot. Carolyn Johnson from NBC four has the story.

268
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 7: When it comes to renewing her cars registration, going to

269
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 7: the DMV in person is a big no for Jordan Korea.

270
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 8: The lines take forever. No one wants to spend their

271
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 8: day at the DMV.

272
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 7: So Jordan's skipped the lines and renewed her registration online.

273
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 7: She paid using an electronic.

274
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 8: Check and put in my information, double triple checked my

275
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 8: big account numbers and everything to make sure everything was correct.

276
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 7: The DMV website confirmed her payment right away, but weeks

277
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 7: later the DMV told Jordan that her check had bounced

278
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 7: and they tacked on nearly two hundred dollars in late fees.

279
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 8: I always really can views because I had no overdrop

280
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 8: fees my bank. The money was in there. I even

281
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 8: contacted the bank and they told me that the DMV

282
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 8: hadn't attempted to make a charge.

283
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 7: Other California drivers are complaining online about the same issue.

284
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 7: The DMV accepted their payments but later rejected them and

285
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 7: then piled on late fees. So what's going on.

286
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: Well, the DMV.

287
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: Seems to be messing up. It confirmed to the item.

288
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 7: There are thousands of instances where it confirmed a payment

289
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 7: but later rejected it and then issued demand payment letters

290
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 7: to some of those drivers, thirty thousand of them in

291
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 7: twenty twenty two and nearly forty thousand last year. The

292
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 7: DMV said about sixty percent of the rejections were valid

293
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 7: the drivers entering the wrong account information on the website.

294
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 7: But the rest, well, they didn't have an explanation.

295
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 8: To have to pay all these extra fees. It's just

296
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 8: it can be financially devastating.

297
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 7: The itam asked the DMV how much it had collected

298
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 7: in unwarranted late fees. It said, doesn't track that, but

299
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 7: if you do the math, if everyone's late fee is

300
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 7: as much as Jordan's, it could mean millions. After the

301
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 7: ITEAM reached out to the DMV, it waived Jordan's late fees.

302
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 7: She says, next time she'll pay another way, just.

303
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 8: To bite the bullet and go in person and pay it.

304
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 7: I keep in mind the DMV still encourages drivers to

305
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 7: pay their registration online. It tells us it switched processing vendors.

306
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 7: But if you have a problem, be sure to let

307
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 7: us know.

308
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: Now.

309
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 7: As of today, the ITEAM has recovered more than three

310
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 7: million dollars for our viewers in the past four years.

311
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: But you have to get a television station in Los

312
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: Angeles to get that accomplished, because it's a lot of

313
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: bad publicity that the DMV bureaucrat heads don't want to

314
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: deal with. You know, if the TV station can't take

315
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: your case, then what you're out of luck? This is

316
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: what what I don't know? Can somebody give me the secret?

317
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: It send me a secret message? Why are so many

318
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: government employees so stupid? And why are why when they

319
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: make mistakes. It's always hurting the citizen. It's always costing

320
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: the citizen money. None of us get bonus checks from

321
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: the state.

322
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 4: Right.

323
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Mistakes are never made in our favor. Mistakes are always

324
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: made against us. And I'm directly addressing the government workers.

325
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: Are you all stupid? Are you all that apathetic?

326
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: What is it? What is it about human nature?

327
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: Because look, I deal with my bank, I deal with

328
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: the American Express with MasterCard or Visa. You know my

329
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: wife pays. You know, I don't know dozens of bills online.

330
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't have this problem. Nobody ever tax

331
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: on phony charges. Nobody ever claims we didn't pay them

332
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: when we did. Nobody we mail in checks, We do

333
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: it online, credit cards, apps, right, every possible way you

334
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: could pay a bill every month, we do that.

335
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 2: It's never a problem.

336
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: Why is it You pay a registration V to the

337
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: DMV and you get this, you get disclaimed, Well you

338
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: didn't pay, Well yeah I did, No you did. Now

339
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: you got to pay again, and uh there's a late

340
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: fee tact on it. Why is it only a government?

341
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: Do you all hate us?

342
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: Are you?

343
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: Are you all are your just psycle paths?

344
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Because that's like the reporter said, Carolyn Johnson, it's millions

345
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: of dollars for the DMV, So you can get bonuses

346
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: for that if because I remember Wells Fargo that happened, right,

347
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: the executives at Wells Fargo, we're getting bonuses for opening

348
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: up scam bank accounts for their customers and then charging

349
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: the money. So is it Is it an organized racket

350
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: at the DMV, or you're all stupid, or just the

351
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: apathy is overwhelming. I mean, they were talking about tens

352
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: of thousands of people scammed over just the last two years,

353
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people, and they weren't going to

354
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: do anything to fix it until they get a call

355
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: from Channel four. And that's see. I don't know government workers.

356
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if there were any kids in my class.

357
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: They weren't my friends. I weren't. I was not friends

358
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: with kids who became government workers. They don't live in

359
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. I don't have encounters except you know, when

360
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: this happens. So what is it about the government worker

361
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: as opposed to everybody else, as opposed to every other

362
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: company that my wife and I pay bills to, and

363
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: we don't have this issue, right I mean, I mean

364
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: years could go by between an actual, real serious you

365
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't pay this bill issue.

366
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 5: I mean yeah.

367
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Occasionally, little mistakes are made, they're corrected quickly. It's one

368
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: of the great mysteries of life. When we come back.

369
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: There's a new there's a political advocacy group and they've

370
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,080

377
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: And they have done some polling. And how unpopular do

378
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: you think George Gascone is? And how popular do you

379
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: think Karen Bass is? I'll tell you.

380

Speaker 1: Tim Conway coming up in minutes before Tim comes in.

387
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about somebody we're going to

388
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: talk to tomorrow. Robert Clifford. He's an attorney and he's

389
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: representing the families, the families of the victims from the

390
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: Max eight crash in Ethiopia that crashed in twenty nineteen,

391
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: killed one hundred and fifty seven people. And everybody's looking

392
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: back at those There were two crashes, both of them

393
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: killed hundreds. They were on the Max eight planes. The

394
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: door plug that blew out a few weeks ago on

395
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: Alaska Era that was a Max nine plane. Similar planes.

396
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: Max nine has just stretched out version longer. And Robert

397
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: Clifford's going to come on the show because there are

398
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: people talking publicly now by name who worked for Boeing.

399
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: One of them is Ed Pearson. He's a former Boeing

400
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: senior manager, and he said I would absolutely not fly

401
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: a Max airplane. I've worked in the factory where they

402
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: were built. I saw the pressure employees were under to

403
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: rush the planes out the door. I tried to get

404
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: them to shut down before the first crash. Joe Jacobson,

405
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: another former engineer at Boeing, said I would tell my

406
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: family to avoid the Max I would tell everyone, really,

407
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: Robert Clifford having done investigations into Boeing and these max

408
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: planes representing the victims of the families from that crash

409
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: in Ethiopia. We'll have him on tomorrow and his perspective

410
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: to it. I mentioned there's a new political advocacy group.

411
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: It's called Thrive LA. It's put together by business and

412
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: community leaders. It looks like they maybe a more ration

413
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: group because sam miebri, the president, says, this is a

414
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: group who feel like our city's headed in the wrong direction.

415
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: So they did some polling to see what the public thinks.

416
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: George Gasconne got a terrible rating. People keep asking me,

417
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: and I understand what people are are kind of paranoid

418
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: and cynical. They think Gascone's going to get in again,

419
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: isn't he. Well, he's only got a twenty six percent

420
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: approval rating, which is in line with other pulling I've seen.

421
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: So Gascone twenty six percent favorable view, fifty four percent

422
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: unfavorable disapprove.

423
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: So that's a good sign. If only the public can.

424
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,239
Speaker 1: Coalesce around two of his challengers, then Gascone will get

425
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: shut out after the primary and primary voting starts next week.

426
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: We'll tell you more about that, but ballots are going

427
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: to be sent out in the mail on Monday, so

428
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: you'll get him Tuesday and Wednesday and you can start voting.

429
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: So it really matters now what people feel and what

430
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: they know today. And it's good to see that his

431
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: disapproval rating fifty four, approval twenty six. But you know

432
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: who got a good approval rating, Karen Bass fifty nine up,

433
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: thirty five down. And the thinking is from this group

434
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: that nobody's blaming her for the for the homeless situation.

435
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: They blamed Garcetti, which is true. But I think we're

436
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: going to find out soon how little has been done

437
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: in the last year. So we got Conway coming in Thompson. Yes, yes,

438
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: Tuesday is always the best day of the year.

439
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 4: Thank you. I agree, I like the best day of

440
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 4: the year.

441
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: Best today, maybe the best day of the year never.

442
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 9: That's exactly right.

443
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: There's seven days of rain coming.

444
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 9: We've got a lot of rain coming.

445
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 10: Where they were talking about it for a while or

446
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 10: for going on, well, they were talking about it like

447
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 10: it was going to be apocalyptic. You saw the stories

448
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 10: that led up to like a just a couple of

449
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 10: weeks ago. But you know, if the if the computer

450
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 10: models are right, it all comes together, this could be,

451
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 10: you know, truly.

452
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: Like well, I was looking up weather dot Com. Yeah,

453
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who runs that ACU. I was looking

454
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: at this the you know, ten day forecast, and for

455
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: the next seven days, every day they have expected rainfall.

456
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: So I counted out it's like an inch here, an

457
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: inch here, two inches here, it's like six seven inches.

458
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 4: Oh so it really it really may come to pass it.

459
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: It looks like that. Oh well, if you believe weather

460
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: dot com.

461
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

462
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 11: Sometimes though, they say it's going to rain for seven

463
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 11: straight days and it rains for like one.

464
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 10: No, that's I used to say, I've a forecast thirty

465
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 10: six of the last three storms.

466
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: Anybody ever keep tracking, You're always have.
