1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 3: We're on every day between one and four o'clock and 5 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 3: every day. If you miss something, you can listen to 6 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 3: John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 2: And that's the podcast. 8 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 3: And we spent much of the first hour on the 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk assassin being haled into court today and being 10 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 3: formally charged, and he's being charged with a first degree 11 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 3: murder eligible for the death penalty. And we will talk 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 3: other Charlie Kirk news later, but if you want to 13 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 3: hear the rundown, you could listen on the iHeartRadio app 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 3: later to our number one, Luigi Mangioni, another famous killer. 15 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: He is the guy who shot it's on video United 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 3: Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York last December, and 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: he was finally taken into court today and a judge 18 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 3: shocked everybody by dismissing two of the murder charges. First 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: degree murders off the table, second degree murder stays. The 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 3: first degree murder was connected with it being an act 21 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 3: of terrorism. And we have Royal Oaks, ABC News lead analysts. 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: He's coming on here to explain the grades of murder 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 3: and what constitutes terrorism. And the judge didn't think this 24 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 3: did royal. How are you. 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Johnny. It is kind of confusing, really 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: because the law there in New York is different from 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: California law. So here's what's going on people here. That is, 28 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: why would you drop the charges? You know, the murder one. 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: Obviously this guy is guilty, as you say, it's on videotape. 30 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: In New York, the only way that you get to 31 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: murder in the first degree is if terrorism is involved. 32 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: And the judge said, you know what terrorism is where 33 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: you try to intimidate the whole population, to coerce the 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: billion population to influence government policy. That's intimidation coercion, and 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: that's absent in the case according to the New York judge. 36 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: And so the judge said, murder in the first degree 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: is off the table. So you're left with murder in 38 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: the second degree. Now, the weird thing is again California 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: is different. Here in California, murder one is where you 40 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: intend to kill and you do, doesn't have to do 41 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: with terrorism. Murder II in California is where you don't 42 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: intend to kill, but you knew darn well there was 43 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: a distinct chance that you would kill somebody. And the 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 1: classic example is if you're by the train and it's 45 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: gone by and you shoot into it for fun. You 46 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: don't intend to kill anybody, but you're not an idiot. 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: You know darn well it's likely somebody will die, but 48 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: you just don't care. You don't intend it. That's murder two. 49 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: That's not the way it is in New York. And 50 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: New York their murder too, is our murder one. So basically, 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: all the judges doing is taking the terrorism allegation off 52 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: of the table, and the guy is still going to 53 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: be accused with intending to kill, which obviously he allegedly did. 54 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: You've got him on video shooting the guy in the 55 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: back of the head. 56 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 3: Is he still eligible for life in prison without parole 57 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 3: in New York. 58 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get life in prison without parole in 59 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: New York, but you know, you're just not going to 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: get the death penalty. And again, you know, terrorism is 61 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: the key difference between here and New York. 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 3: And he's facing federal charges too, potentially, Actually he got 63 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: federal charges in. 64 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: April exactly right. The federal charges remain, and those could 65 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: include the death penalty. But in that situation, you know, 66 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: we don't know exactly how seriously the Feds are going 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: to take this. All we know for sure is that 68 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: some of the state law charges are dropped. Because that's 69 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: what's been going on in court today and yesterday. 70 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: A lot of people get confused and they think, if 71 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: there's a federal case in a state case for murder, 72 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: in that double jeopardy, he's being tried twice for the 73 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: same crime. 74 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: But it's not. 75 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: No, it's not double jeopardy. Yeah, And the reason is 76 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: our law says that if you have two totally separate 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: and distinct governmental levels, you may charge somebody with the 78 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: same thing twice. And to help people get wrap their 79 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: heads around it, drift back in time to the Rodney 80 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: King case back in the early nineteen nineties. So the 81 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: cops were accused of beating up Rodney King, and they 82 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: go to trial in state court and seem Valley, and 83 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: as we know, they were found not guilty and the 84 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: Rodney King riots resulted. Then the Feds come along and 85 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: they say, hey, we're charging u cops with violating the 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: civil rights. The federal Civil rights of Rodney King, and 87 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: everybody says, what are you talking about? That obviously is 88 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's the same beating, it's the same 89 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: video that both federal and state juries would look at. 90 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: And the answer is no. The US Supreme Court has 91 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: made it clear over the years that's not double jeopardy, 92 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: even though it obviously seems like it is, because you 93 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: have two separate and distinct federal and state system. So 94 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: fast forward to now once again, the Feds and the state, 95 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: whether it's New York in the terrorism in the CEO 96 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: shooting case, or in Utah the situation with Charlie Kirk's killer, 97 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: if you have the state and the federal government going 98 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: after him, it's not double jeopardy. They're both entitled to 99 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: proceed with their cases. 100 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 3: On the Charlie Kirk case, Tyler Robinson, I was listening 101 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: a lot to the evidence this morning that the district's 102 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 3: attorney was reading out, and he spent a lot of 103 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: time on texts that Tyler Robinson made and also messages 104 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 3: going back and forth on Discord, the social media site 105 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: with all his gamer friends, and I wondered and they 106 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: talked to They're looking to see if there were any 107 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: conspirators and who. 108 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: Knew what and who helped. 109 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: When you get messages either a direct text or on 110 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: a message board with twenty other people, can you be 111 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: held culpable if somebody tells you I'm committing a crime. 112 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 3: I just committed a crime And are you required to 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: do anything about it? 114 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: Legally? 115 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 3: I know morally you should, but legally are you culpable 116 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 3: at all? 117 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question. And in general, no, if 118 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: you are going to be culpable as like an accessory 119 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: or somehow involved in the crime, you have to take 120 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: some affirmative act that is of some assistance to hide 121 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: somebody or buy bullets or something like that, or you know, 122 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: showing them how to get to the murder site. But 123 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: if it's simply your awareness of somebody's intent to commit 124 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: a crime, you don't have to do anything. And you know, 125 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: it's tough in other societies, other countries around the world, 126 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: you have different laws. But I mean here in America, 127 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: basically you can kind of pull up a seat and 128 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: watch somebody commit a crime. You know, if you're running 129 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: a seven to eleven and somebody's getting beaten up in 130 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: the parking lot, you have no obligation to call the cops. 131 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: The idea is, you know, we can't force people to 132 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,559 Speaker 1: get involved. You know, what happens that they get involved 133 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: in to get hurt somehow, We're not going to be 134 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: responsible for that. So, as you say, there's a moral 135 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: and a legal distinction, but in general, unless you're actually 136 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: an active part of it, you're not guilty, even if 137 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: you're aware of it. But as you say, you know, 138 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: we've heard evidence that the that the killer, the alleged 139 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: killer Robinson, you put some note under his keyboard and 140 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: his partner saw it, and so the partner knew this. 141 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: It's right, change the law. 142 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: Even if you knew that the crime was going to 143 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: be committed, you know, for a week, you're still not 144 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: liable in. 145 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Any way, right, Yeah, I mean it's just a philosophical 146 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: position of the law takes. We don't want to involve people. 147 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: You know, it goes so far as you know, if 148 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: you see somebody, you know, drowning in two inches of 149 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: water in the gutter, and you could easily help them, 150 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: you don't have to, and that obviously isn't a crime necessarily, 151 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: But we just don't impose that kind of obligation on people. 152 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,559 Speaker 3: What about encouraging them beforehand. Hey, yeah, that's a good idea. 153 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 3: I wish I could do that. 154 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Go for Yeah, that's different. Yeah, if you encourage somebody, 155 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: then you could be comparable. Then that constitutes the kind 156 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: of affirmative act that the prosecutors could point to and say, yeah, 157 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, you're responsible. You may not be responsible to 158 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: the same degree as somebody else, but you could be 159 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: held liable. So yeah, so me, maybe they'll look into 160 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: the facts and find somebody else who's encouraging. 161 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 3: And congratulating them afterwards. That's okay saying hey, you know, 162 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 3: I wish I could have done that. 163 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not going to land you in jail. That's 164 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: just going to cause every pretty to hate you. 165 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: Well, we've got plenty of that going around, all right, 166 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: Thank you for all that. 167 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: Fascinating. 168 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Royal very good at breaking it down the nuances, 169 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: the tiny details. There's a lot of people get very 170 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 3: upset and they think, well, why is it, Why aren't 171 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: they being charged with something, or why is it double jeopardy. 172 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: Royal's good at explaining why. It really does depend on 173 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 3: the state. New York is its own animal in a 174 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 3: lot of ways with their legal system. We will continue here. 175 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 3: You know what we're gonna do. We're gonna play you 176 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: some entertaining audio. Cash Battel, Trump's FBI director was I 177 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 3: had to go to a hearing today before the Senate, 178 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: and he really got into it with some of the Democrats, 179 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: including Corey Booker. Last time we've heard from that Dodo 180 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 3: wasn't He was singing right for hours on the steps 181 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: of the Capitol, and he was also he was also 182 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: droning for twenty five hours giving a speech, and also 183 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 3: Adam Schiff, mister mortgage fraud. He also got into a 184 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: heated exchange with cash Battel. A lot of people playing 185 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: with cash Battel on both sides, you know, like the 186 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 3: way he's handling the FBI or this particular Charlie kirkcase. 187 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 4: All ahead, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from 188 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,359 Speaker 4: KFI AMC. 189 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: Moistline eight seven seven moist eighty six for Friday eight 190 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 3: seven seven Moist eighty six. 191 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 2: If you only can use numbers eight seven seven six six. 192 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: Four seven eight eighty six, you can also use the 193 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. I don't know why 194 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 3: they hold Senate hearings. It usually ends up being several 195 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 3: hours of people screaming at each other. Witnesses rarely answer 196 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: questions directly. Most of the senators are boobs. They just 197 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: like to grandstand and pontificate and try to brate the uh, 198 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say the defendant because they all look like defendants. 199 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: It's so predictable depending on who's getting grilled. The Democrats 200 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: ask the friendly questions, the Republicans ask the nasty ones, 201 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: or vice versa. You rarely get any information that's new. 202 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: It really is a clown show. Well, today's clown show 203 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 3: starred the new FBI director Cash Patel, who is getting 204 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 3: a lot of crap from both sides and also got 205 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: a lot of criticism because the FBI doubts that they 206 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 3: had a suspect in the Charlie Kirk killing. But they didn't. 207 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: They didn't. I explained that last hour. It was this 208 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: weird old guy who was shouting to police. I shot him. 209 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 3: I shot him. He says he was trying to create 210 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: a distraction. But that's who they thought the killer was, 211 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: because that's what the guy would saying. I'm not sure 212 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: that's Cash Betel's fault. But let's play now. One of 213 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: the biggest boobs is in the Senate is Senator Corey Booker. 214 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 3: He's the one who spoke for twenty five hours some 215 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 3: months back to protest Trump. Can anybody remember what he said, 216 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 3: any memorable phrases? You think if you spoke for twenty 217 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: five hours at least you'd have a good joke in 218 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 3: there thing. The other thing he did is he was 219 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: sitting on the Capitol steps and singing one day. So 220 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: he's obviously just a goof. 221 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: He ran for president once. Of course he did well. 222 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: He goes after Cash Patel, and Patel wanted nothing to 223 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 3: do with it. 224 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 2: Let's go. 225 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 5: Donald Trump promised to make us all safer. You have 226 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 5: pushed out senior FBI agents with decades of knowledge and experience. 227 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 5: In fact, this is the first time an FBI history 228 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 5: that neither the director nor the deputy director have any 229 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 5: experience with the FBI. You've shifted the agency's priorities primarily 230 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 5: to pursuing Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agenda. According to ICE data, 231 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 5: the Cato Institute, which is a conservative think pink, found 232 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 5: that twenty percent of all agents have been diverted from 233 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 5: their work to do assist ice immigration enforcement twenty percent. 234 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 5: Part of this operation is the work of mass law 235 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 5: enforcement who jump out of cars, snatched people off streets 236 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 5: at churches, schools, and their jobs and hospitals. 237 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: Churches and schools. 238 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 5: Have there been any FBI agents who investigate crimes against 239 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 5: children that have been assigned to Immigration enforcement? Yes, or no? 240 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 6: Premise of what you say, is. 241 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 5: There any FBI investigating foreign domestic terrorists? 242 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 6: You don't get to say the America is not safer 243 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 6: under this. America is safer because. 244 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 7: Of the web you're making. 245 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 6: Seven hundred children, we have six thousand weapons, you have, 246 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 6: you are a thousands of. 247 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 5: FBI agents to investigate human trafficking have been reassigned to 248 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 5: Immigration enforcement. You are not denying that FBI agents who 249 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 5: are in the task force that fight against Russian oligarchs 250 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 5: have not been reassigned Public correction squad reassigned. People who 251 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 5: defend US, defend children reassigned. You're not denying that FBI 252 00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 5: attack my colleagues premises of questions as a way to 253 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 5: not answer the question. 254 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, they should lock them in a cage together, ty 255 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 3: ty razors to their legs like in a cockfight. 256 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 2: We only have three clips. But these guys went at 257 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 2: it for like fifteen minutes. Well, let's play cutting number two. 258 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: He's Booker is going after Patel for assaulting the integrity 259 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: of the FBI. 260 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: Go mister Pattel. 261 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 5: In just eight months, you have assaulted the institutional integrity 262 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 5: of the FBI. But I know FBI field agents. I've 263 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 5: worked with them in Newark. No matter how truly bad 264 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 5: you are, you can't undermine the legacy of agents who 265 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 5: fight every day to keep us safe. But you can 266 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 5: tarnish the integrity of the agency and under mind the 267 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 5: agency's capacity. I believe you're failing as a leader, and 268 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 5: that your failure does have serious implications for the safety 269 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 5: and security of Americans in our families. We're more vulnerable 270 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 5: to domestic and foreign attack because of your failures of leadership. 271 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 5: I don't think you're fitting them the bureau. But here's 272 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 5: the thing, mister Patel, Well, I think you're not going 273 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 5: to be around long. I think this might be your 274 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 5: last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself 275 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 5: to the will of Donald Trump and not the constitution 276 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 5: of the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown 277 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 5: us in his first term, and in this term he 278 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 5: is not loyal to people like you. He will cut 279 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 5: you loose. This may be the last time I have 280 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 5: a hearing with you, because I don't think you're long 281 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 5: for your job. 282 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 2: But I'm going to tell you this. I pray for you. 283 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 5: I pray for you. Yeah, as you can step up 284 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 5: and defend your oath, defend the Constitution, and do a 285 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 5: much better job of defending this country. 286 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: Thank you, missus sheriffs. 287 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: These are in questions, these are speeches.

Santa Monica Place Mall, which 452 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 3: just a few years ago was gorgeous, has lost seventy 453 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: percent of its stores, and that's because of the terrorism 454 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 3: from the homeless and they didn't terrify people terribly frightened. 455 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 3: And these two just idiot writers and whatever editor and 456 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 3: whatever headline writer.

They want to 475 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: sell their house because living there is intolerable, and they're 476 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 3: afraid that eventually the market's going to crash, that people 477 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 3: are not gonna want to buy because now you're seeing 478 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 3: these freaks in residential neighborhoods on the West Side.

Tracy Park did a lot of work 494 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 3: our councilwomen that they're down to street addicts and mental 495 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 3: patients who refuse out. So these are the worst drug 496 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 3: addicts and the worst mental patients who won't help. They're 497 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 3: the ones who need the most help. They're the ones 498 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 3: who are the most dangerous and the most frightening, and 499 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 3: Karen Bass protects them. 500 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: At all costs. 501 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 3: They get the most protection from Karen Bass, even though 502 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: they're the sickest, the most addicted, the most dangerous, the 503 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: most horrifying to everyone living there out That in itself, 504 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: on Karen Bass's part, is psychopathic behavior. It is dangerous 505 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 3: behavior on the part of Bass. It's scary that she 506 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: thinks this way and that she has the power to 507 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: leave them roaming free. It's the worst of them, and 508 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 3: they're the ones suffering the most. They need the help 509 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 3: the most, and she will not give it to them 510 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: unless they agree. Well by definition, because they're so severely 511 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 3: whacked out on drugs or so severely mentally ill, they 512 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 3: do not have the capability to agree. It's impossible for them. 513 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 3: Their brains are fried, maybe permanently, and Karen Bass will 514 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 3: not help them, and will not help the taxpayers who 515 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 3: are begging her. I know for a fact they're getting 516 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 3: batter twenty four hours a day to have these people removed, 517 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 3: and she won't. But for the Olympics in three years, 518 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course we'll do that. And I am 519 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 3: just banging my everybody's banging their head, and they go. 520 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 2: What do we do? What do we do? What do 521 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: you do? 522 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: You got an investment in a house, You've got your 523 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 3: career here, you have your children, they're going to school, 524 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 3: your friends, and you walk out the front door in 525 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 3: your own neighborhood, in a residential neighborhood, and there's somebody, 526 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 3: some screaming mental patient, drug addict, who is capable of 527 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 3: doing to you what that guy did to the poor 528 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: blonde woman on the Charlotte train a couple of weeks ago. 529 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 3: That's all anybody's thinking about. It's like, well, I just 530 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: saw what happened to the girl and Charlotte. That could 531 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 3: happen to me. And then you go another block and 532 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: there's another guy. And then you go into the business 533 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 3: district on San Vacente. One of those guys is laying 534 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 3: stretched out in the hot sun, half dead.

What normal person would allow this if they 540 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 3: had the power to remove them? What the Supreme Court said? 541 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 3: All these people have no right to be laying on 542 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 3: the subjuct, to be in a public place. The Supreme 543 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: Court said, they have no right. You have no legal 544 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 3: there's nothing legally blocking you from saying these people have 545 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 3: to go and whatever you can do with them. But 546 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 3: you let him die in the street, you let him 547 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 3: scream while they're standing in front of somebody's front lawn. 548 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 3: You have them standing in front of a school entrance 549 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 3: when there's hundreds of little kids. 550 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: What are you doing?
