And most fascinating story today 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 2: so far has been the thirty million dollars that was 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: heisted I guess on Easter Sunday from a money storage 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 2: facility in Sillmar. 15 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: I didn't even know what that was. 16 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: Yeah anyway, Yeah, so some a whole lot of detail. 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: This morning, someone's Easter basket was very full. 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. 19 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of eggs. Yeah. 20 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: So LAPD says they estimated about thirty million in cash 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: was stolen from the guard World facility in Silmar. Now 22 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: it's near the intersection of San Fernando Road and Roxford Street. 23 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: This you've seen them. 24 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: Those are those light grayish armored cars that drive around 25 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: with big block lettering in red that says GARDA on 26 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: the side. Yes, I've seen that, right. So it's an 27 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 2: armored truck facility in Silmar. It's one of three that 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: I think are the ones in Bell Gardens, one in 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: Woodland Hills. So you know, when they're going to pick 30 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: up all of this cash from businesses and banks and 31 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: what have you, they got a store it somewhere until 32 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 2: it goes into the federal depository or wherever it goes next. 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: And so there's this sort of holdover facility there in Silmar. 34 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: While someone on Easter Sunday or some people were able 35 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: to make entry, and they're saying, now they think through 36 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: the roof, because an aerial shot showed a part where 37 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: they were able to cut through the roof. But there 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: was also some debris and it looks like a hole 39 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: being boarded up at the rear of the concrete wall 40 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: in the rear side of the building. 41 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 1: So it's not clear. 42 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: Officials are not talking about because now LAPD had to 43 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: turn it over to FBI, and you know the Feds 44 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: are not going to talk about anything hardly so what 45 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: we do know is that someone got in and masterfully 46 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: bypassed the security and got right into the vault. So 47 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: what do you think that sails you? There's some some 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: employees are getting a guy. Well, either either there was 49 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: somebody with inside knowledge or someone was hired that had 50 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: inside knowledge, or whatever the case was. But uh, you know, 51 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: that's very specific information. And then talking to an agent 52 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: this morning that you know, has done some of these 53 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 2: cases before, and he was kind of running down the 54 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 2: list of possibilities and that was among them, of course, 55 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: an inside job or someone who got hired and was 56 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: working so they could get used to the uh use 57 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: to the system. It's it's not clear yet and I 58 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: and I don't mean to, you know, falsely accuse members 59 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: of that staff, but this is what an agent had 60 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: told me. It's hard to believe that strangers from the 61 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: outside could break in with a liability like this, when 62 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: that set off any alarms with that kind of surgical precision. Yeah, yeah, 63 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: it's hard to do that. Hell, I can't even get 64 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: to the elevator without triggering some sort of a you know, 65 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: you know, I can't try to bypass the elevator. So yeah, 66 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: and so they're not really sure what time it happened, 67 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: but you figure with the cameras and all the security, 68 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: it will be interesting to see how federal agents are 69 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: able to take that information and maybe get a profile 70 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: or an MO. 71 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: Was there human security working there over the weekend. 72 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 2: That is not known because there are security guards out 73 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: there and they do patrol the facility, but I don't 74 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: know if they take a break at certain times of 75 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: the night. But the way that I was imagining, well, 76 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: there's got to be a front desk, there's got to 77 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: be cameras or a security room, right right, maybe you know, 78 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: fifty cameras on the wall and sensors that will cause 79 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: things to light up on their control board and none 80 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: of that. No, Well, if there was, they're not telling us. 81 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: And that's the other thing. This is an incredibly tight 82 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: lipped case. A lot of news agencies have not been 83 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: able to get any intel out of the whatsoever. I 84 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: called my folks at the FBI, They're like, listen, you know. 85 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: In fact, they were upset because the LAPD wasn't supposed 86 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: to be talking about this case. 87 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: They didn't want anyone to know. 88 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: They didn't want anyone to know, LAPD said somebody from 89 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: l or someone from LAPD talked to media and then 90 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: it spread and so they weren't supposed to talk about it. 91 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: And the FBI is a little upset right now. So 92 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: was this. 93 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: I don't know anything about these money storage facilities. This 94 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: is all new to me. So is that the day's 95 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: profits that is being trucked in not necessarily it's just 96 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: a cash drop from not necessarily profits, but it's the 97 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: cash drop from seven elevens. You always see them walk up, 98 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: they take their bags and they go out, they go in. 99 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: They they're storing the excess cash. They're depositing. 100 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: The excess cash goes to this facility and it's either 101 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 2: going to go into a bank or it's going to 102 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: go do into a pository somewhere where we're the this 103 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: disposition of the cash is supposed to go. But that's 104 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: when you see those armored trucks pulling up and they're 105 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: collecting cash from ATMs, from casinos, right you know? All 106 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: that that's that excess catch. So it's all business that 107 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: uses this sort of thing. And the thirty million dollars 108 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: is is that the total receipts you think for the day, 109 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: or is that's what normally is stored in the building 110 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: with ten percent of what they actually have in there. 111 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: Like you that this is something new for me. I knew. 112 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: You always know. 113 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: The armored trucks exist and you see them out there 114 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 2: and you're always thinking where all that money goes? Well, 115 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: it goes to these storage facilities. Yeah, they don't take 116 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: it to a bank. And there's supposed to be some 117 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: hell of a vault over there that someone was able 118 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: to access. So I think it's connected, as anybody speculatd 119 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: if it's connected to that Brinks robbery. Going back I 120 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: think a year and a half on Interstate five at 121 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: the at the rest stop the Grapevine, the Grapevine, yeah, 122 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: around there, And that was a jewelry heist, jewelry high, 123 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: jewelry high, right out of a Brinch truck. And one 124 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: guy was asleep in the truck, remember the other was 125 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: getting a hot dog or something. And I will tell 126 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: you this, that's precisely what the FEDS are looking at 127 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: right now. They're looking at all of the different robberies 128 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: and all of the different in this case, burglaries. They're 129 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: looking at all of these things and they start to 130 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: come up with a profile and they're going to look 131 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 2: at the mos of these particular thefts and they're going 132 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: to compare them, and they're going to see if they've 133 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: got any known associates that do this kind of crime. 134 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: I never heard that they caught or had even a suspect. No, 135 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: that's still in case. It's still an unsolved case. That's 136 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: an unsult Wow. So thirty million dollars and it's cash, 137 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: So I mean, everything could be all dispersed now and 138 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: no cameras in the place for well, we don't know that. 139 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: We don't know. We don't know. 140 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: Again, the Feds aren't they're not talking, and this company's 141 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 2: not going to comment. They're based in Canada, they're not 142 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: Everyone's been trying to get comment from them. They're not 143 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: saying anything. They're not even returning emails. That's that's the 144 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: worst thing possible for a company like this. Well, I'm 145 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: saying I'm thinking, I'm I'm going out on a limb 146 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: here and saying they probably had a lot of cameras 147 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: and a lot of mechanisms right place. But somehow this 148 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 2: crew was able to to infiltrate into this structure and 149 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: get into that vault and insurance cover this for the 150 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: customers presumably, and probably some sort of a bond with 151 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: the company. Right, But thirty million dollar bills, if they 152 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: were all one hundred dollars bills, let's say thirty million, 153 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 2: that's six hundred and sixty pounds, because that's the other component. 154 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: How do they move it? 155 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if they got through the roof, I think 156 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: that's why that openings out the back wall. They probably 157 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: entered the roof and exited out the back wall. So 158 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: everybody today is just remembering the Ocean's eleven. Yeah movies, Well, 159 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 2: I was thinking about Jason Stathan movies. I was thinking 160 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: about the Italian job with Mark Wahlberg. I was thinking 161 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: about all these really cool, you know, heist movies and 162 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: this I never know what's realistic in those movies.

And of course the media, the uh, the 565 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: bastards that the Los Angeles Times have been fighting three strikes, 566 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 2: publishing massive propaganda ever since. At the sentencing portion of 567 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 2: Richard Allen Davis's trial, the jury recommended the death penalty, 568 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: and the judge sentenced him to death, and as Richard 569 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 2: Allen Davis left the courtroom, he flipped off the judge 570 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: with both middle fingers. Three strikes law was passed. Our 571 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: show had a lot to do with it. We got 572 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: it passed by the California legislature. Governor Pete Wilson came 573 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 2: on our show at the time. And also it was 574 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 2: reinforced by a referendum that was on the ballot. Nobody 575 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: was taking any chances after this death. It's always made 576 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 2: me wonder if some horrible thing like this happened again, 577 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 2: would there be any reaction at all. The legislators were 578 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: forced into it. They didn't want to do it. It was 579 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 2: you know, even though it was a different generation, it 580 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 2: was the same democratic philosophy. Although Richard Allen Davis is 581 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: human evil, he's a monster. It looks like a monster. Well, 582 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 2: he could get resentenced tomorrow because of a Senate bill 583 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 2: that was passed written by a Maron Atis Santa Monica 584 00:31:53,640 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: named Ben Allen. He's a state senator and it removes's 585 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: enhancements retroactively. This bill, so Richard Allen Davis's attorney filed 586 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 2: a motion to recall the entire judgment, including the death saints. 587 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 2: Ben Allen, Democratic Santa Monica could be giving Richard Allen 588 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 2: Davis a big break, depending on what happens at the hearing. 589 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: And Mark clost, the father has been dealing with the 590 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 2: pain and torture of what happened to his daughter for 591 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 2: thirty years. He has been involved in a number of victims' 592 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: rights organizations, fought the legislature and the governors over many 593 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 2: different bills. It's one of the sickest things about living 594 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: in California with that question is how the legislators and 595 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 2: the governors embrace the ugliest, sickest, most vile child killers, 596 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: a child killer, a child rapist, and Ben Allen in 597 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 2: Santa Monica. The Democratic state senator wanted to give Richard 598 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 2: Allen Davis a break, and now Richard Allen Davis has 599 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 2: that break.
