Speaker 1: see John. Yes, early voting begins tomorrow. You can go

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: to one of those early voting centers. You're not going

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: to do that though, you're waiting for Election Day, right?

31
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: I like I could do early voting. I don't think

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: it'll be crowded. I gotta see if I know what

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing. There's some things I haven't been paying attention to.

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: But ten am to seven p m. Of the hours

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: for them tending up to seven pm. No, those are

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: working hours. Well not tomorrow, Oh tomorrow, tomorrow. I'm busy.

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: I'll get there eventually. Sure, I don't. I don't know.

38
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't know where the early voting site is in

39
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, so I have to and I'm not clear

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: on all the candidates for everything yet either. All right,

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: do you still have a lot to do? I do

42
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: a lot of homework. Is Joe here, Joe Buscayano, the

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: councilman from the San Pedro area, and he's ran for

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: mayor and now he's joined the Caruso team. Joe, you're there, Yes,

45
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: you hear me? Yeah, Hey, how are you doing? Good? Good? Yeah,

46
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: there's one thing we can agree on. That's Rack Crusoe

47
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: for mayor. Yeah, that's on the voters guide. Yes, that's

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: on our voters guide. And I am voting for Crusoe

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: and you are too, U and what what do you know? What?

50
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: What's your sense of the race, because I'm noticing, like today,

51
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: specifically a few articles. And you know how reporters are.

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: They try to hint in a story that they know

53
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: what's going on without saying explicitly. It seems like the

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: way they're writing it's going in in Rick's direction. What

55
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: do you know? What do you Yeah, it's no secret.

56
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: And this is why a couple of weeks ago, you know,

57
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: Rick and I have had this conversation about we're doing

58
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: what's best for the city. As you know, I suspended

59
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: the campaign. They came on board with Thrick and this

60
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: is greater than Joe Buscaino. It's what's best for the

61
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: city of Los Angeles. And at this point, it's what

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Rick has been saying all along. It safer including Los Angeles.

63
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: He and I agree on this is my campaign message.

64
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: But he is really taking this up a level to

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: the point where he's leading all candidates or the last

66
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: three of them or so on this issue, to the

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: point where you know his goal is to win this

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: potentially when the on June seventh. But we'll see how

69
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: this pans out come June seventh. Yeah, we haven't seen

70
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: any real polling. Is there internal polling? Not that I'm

71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: aware of. But when John you indicated, like when the

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: Times what you want to agree with him or not

73
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: indicates that there's a possibility, it's it's still along, it's

74
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: it's there. There was an article today, Yeah, he might

75
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: he might be aiming to clear fifty percent, right, right,

76
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: And that article doesn't come out unless there was a

77
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: possibility he could clear fifty percent in the primary. And

78
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: even the Times wants to be ahead of that story

79
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: at least to say how it looked to me too

80
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: when I read that. Yes, well I can tell you this.

81
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: When I came on a couple weeks back, they shared

82
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: with me some some numbers with my support that can

83
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: possibly get him over. But it all depends on who

84
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: turns out. And still there's a lot of folks that

85
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: have their ballots on their kitchen tables that still have

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: not submitted their ballots. This is where it's important for

87
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: us as a team, Rick and I are, you know,

88
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: from Quarner East, from Stillmore to San Pedro letting folks

89
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: know to fill out your ballot now when I'm asking

90
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: my and encouraging my supporters to vote for moving forward. Well,

91
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: because in that story there was a Karen Bass, somebody

92
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: who runs a political action committee, who was nervous because

93
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: the early vote has only been a five percent turnout

94
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: and implying that a low turnout benefits Caruso, that they're

95
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: going to need a high turnout to have for Bass

96
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: to have a better chance. So she seemed to be

97
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: very worried in that story that the turnout's too low

98
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: now and she knows the energy is on the side

99
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: for Caruso because the people who do vote are voting

100
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: on homelessnesstant crime. Absolutely, and you see how desperate the

101
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: opposition's getting with these these attack ads that clearly did

102
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: not reflect my friend and Rick Caruso painting him as

103
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: a Donald Trump. Rick cruisles far from Donald Trump I've

104
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: known more over ten years. So it's a desperate attempt

105
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: by the BASS supporters knowing what's to come, to do

106
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: this early. Normally you see this in the last few

107
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: weeks of the the runoff. But you know, we feel

108
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: strongly that Rick will be the top bow getter come

109
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: June seventh. Whether or not he gets fifty plus one percent,

110
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: he's going to win this. I last when I saw

111
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: the Trump comparison commercials, because Rick said publicly he didn't

112
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: want he did. He did not want Trump setting foot

113
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: on the grove. In the grove, he didn't want him

114
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: coming there ever, which sounded like he'd banned him because

115
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: he I asked him once if he ever met Trump,

116
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: and he said he had one phone call with him

117
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: once years ago and it was something something over real estate.

118
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: But he just found Trump's behavior just to be so

119
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: just uncivilized that it's just not a guy he could

120
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: ever connect with. Ye, John mean, I've been stumping for

121
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: Rick in all parts of the city and it's just

122
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: again just desperate. Let's talk about the issues, Okay, the

123
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: issues before us, and what Rick and I've been saying.

124
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: We want clean streets, we want safe streets, we want

125
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: less chaos and lawlessness. We want innovative solutions to solve homelessness.

126
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: We want a city that rolls out the red carpet

127
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: for businesses. We want a city that gets to us.

128
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: We want a city hall that's going to clean up

129
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: by the corruption. I've out of front row seat and

130
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: three colleagues who've been indicted. And you know Rick will

131
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: be that rewintlessly or that we need. Now the mayor's power,

132
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: how much can he get done considering the resistance of

133
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: the La City Council, which and that resistance may change

134
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: a little bit after this election, but still it's going

135
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: to be overwhelmingly the same crowd that is steinied a

136
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the proposals you have put forth. Um,

137
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: how does a mayor and lay I keep hearing that

138
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: LA has a weak mayor system and others say no,

139
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: they've got some special secret powers. What. I'm sure you've

140
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: researched this since you ran a campaign for so long.

141
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: What what what is the power that he can make

142
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: changes within the first few months that would have an effect. Well,

143
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: the power of being the executive of the city and

144
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,239
Speaker 1: the power of of inking a number of executive director

145
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: directors rather that would change course in the city. Bottom

146
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: line here, John, can is this? You know, when Rick wins,

147
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: it'll definitely be a mandate, a mandate against the status quo.

148
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: As you know, you and I spoke about the importance

149
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: of leading with balance and practical policies. Um. And you

150
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: know when when today I have an RV ban in

151
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: residential neighborhoods, still sitting in Kevin da Leone's homeless system,

152
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: poverty commit It's like, who are we helping here? Why

153
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: are we still having these these these motions that will

154
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: clean our city stuck in committee? Um? And you're right

155
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: when we talk about the governance of the city, it's

156
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the charter that needs to be changed. Uh. And but

157
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: you know it's not going to happen overnight. If you

158
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: want a strong mayor system, you need to change that charter. Well,

159
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: he can, he can need that because it's a mandate.

160
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: He can loosen up the LAPD, right, he can have

161
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: the officers start uh patrolling for quality of life issues,

162
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: quality of life crimes, right ye, people people doing drugs

163
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: in the street, people who are taking to you know,

164
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: dumping their feces in the street. That can be addressed

165
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: often by the cops. The cops could be able to

166
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 1: clear out some of these encampments without going through a

167
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: whole lot of bureaucracy. Correct absolutely, and Ricka said that

168
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: we can no longer handcuff our cops from doing their jobs.

169
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: Let's see, let's clean our street. And something that you

170
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: know the quality of life issues today is that you

171
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: know when when when officers affect arrests, are getting the

172
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: knuckleheads or are getting sent back out and doing the

173
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: same thing over and over. But again, it starts with

174
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: the mayor, the police chief in the direction of the

175
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: police chief and the Police Commission to clean our streets

176
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: and support the cops, but also give the cops the

177
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: ability to um to address the quality life conservatis. This

178
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: is why rick is running while you brought in Chief

179
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: Bratton at the time to restore quality life in our city.

180
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Moving forward, all right, Joe, thanks for coming on. He

181
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: just texts me here he's hearing us. He says, Hello,

182
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: tell him to give us a call. I know you

183
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: gotta get him on this show again. Crusoe can dot com.

184
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: Please get on the website and turning your ballots and

185
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: let's get Rick Crusoe's office. All right, Joe, thanks very

186
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: much for coming out. Guess all right, bye, the council in.

187
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: Joe Buscaino, who was in the race for mayor A,

188
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: dropped out recently in a supporting Rick Caruso. I see

189
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: a note here. Another urgent email from the El Segundo Times.

190
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles City Council voted today to make an

191
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: offer on an apartment complex in Chinatown. They're buying real

192
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: estate now. Tenants voice their rage and frustration over massive

193
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: rent tyke sought by the building's owner. So the answer

194
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: is to buy the property. Holy mackerel, that's what That's

195
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: what they're doing to tax my That's the communist idea.

196
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: The government takes control of the property, right, So that's

197
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: what these people are in their hearts, that's what they are.

198
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: Oh apparently, Oh, this is Gil Sadillo's district. He's in

199
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a tougher re election fight against the real activist who

200
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: has called for new tenant protection. So he must be

201
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: looking at some polling that says he's in trouble, and

202
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: he urged the city council to make a move on

203
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: his favor on this and to perhaps make an offer

204
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: on this building to help these tenants. All Right, we

205
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: got more coming up, Johnny can Cafe. Like the La

206
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: County Metropolitan Transportation An Authority board approved an eight point

207
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: eight billion dollar budget. It's the largest budget ever. Despite

208
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the fact that they have rising crime and a huge

209
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: drop and ridership. They're gonna double the amount that they

210
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: spend on their unarmed ambassadors. Now, we talked to Sheriffe

211
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: in a wave of the other day and the Sarff's

212
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: department does provide some protection on the metro system. But

213
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: the idea of doubling the amount of money you spent

214
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: on people that walk around what little colorful jackets. Hey

215
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: I help you, I'm your ambassador. Did you see that

216
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: video that Steve Gregory got a hold of. What's an

217
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: ambassador going to do when they're shooting at each other

218
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: and they're sexually assaulting people and it's she fights all

219
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: over the floor and knives. It's their progressive insanity and

220
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: unarmed ambassadors will have zero effect. They think this is

221
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: going to bring writers back. It won't. They're just spending

222
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: eight billion dollars because they have it, and they're all

223
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money doing this, and they're

224
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: gonna hire more people that they're connected to politically or

225
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: they're related to, and everyone is going to get fat

226
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: and rich off our tax money. Eight billion dollars for

227
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: something virtually no one uses except the homeless and the

228
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: psychos listen to this and the drug addicts. Even The

229
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: Times wrote in Los Angeles, metro ridership plunged as businesses

230
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: closed or shifted to remote work, and homeless people largely

231
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: took over the empty buses, trains, and transit stations. Violent

232
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: crime is up eighty one percent on the system for

233
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: the first three months of the year compared with the

234
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: same period from last year. Event chantreds complain of soiled

235
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: seats and elevators reeking of urine. Soiled seats. What do

236
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: you think the seats are soiled with? Guess what? Though

237
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna spend money to replace the seats, they have

238
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: an apparently by the way, two thirds of Metro is

239
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: bus riders. This be clear. It's not so much the subways.

240
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: You see a lot of no, no, bet, a lot

241
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: more money goes into building. Plus they're short of drivers too.

242
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: They have to hire a bunch of dr Who would

243
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: take that job? Why would you want to take a

244
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: job driving mental patients and drug addicts up like a

245
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: soundproof booth that just has like, No, I think it's

246
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: terrifying to be a bus driver. And by the way,

247
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: there might be a lot more people in bus buses

248
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: than rail, or more buses than rail. But the rail

249
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: is an enormously costly. They spend billions of dollars building

250
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: those rail lines underground. They're they're doing one under Wilshare

251
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: Boulevard right now. This construction project has gone on for

252
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: years and years and years. The subway to the Sea, Yeah,

253
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: the subway. Yeah. And it's like the Expo Line brought

254
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: a lot of criminals into Santa Monica from downtown Dalwins.

255
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: So did the gold Line. Yeah, the Golden Parts North. Ye.

256
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: Gold Line brought him to the Pasadena area. Yes, that's

257
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: all this is. It's an exposing just transporting the homeless

258
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: around the New neighborhoods. Yes, that's what it is. It's like,

259
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: in case you're short of criminals, codex, drug addicts and

260
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: homeless people. LA is setting up an elaborate train system

261
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: so they can come into your neighborhood and reach a

262
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: critical mass. Well, they're they're working on the soiled seats.

263
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: They're going to replace the fabric seats, probably with something

264
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: that's a little more soil and stain resistance. I didn't

265
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: you realize we're talking about bodily fluids here, that's what

266
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: that's what's going on. Yeah, you get some kind of

267
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: plasticy so the fluids don't like rereak into the shot

268
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: stay there forever until they kind of slide off. I

269
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: think is the idea. That's when you have fabric that

270
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: poop and the urine just soaks right in there. Sure,

271
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert, but I would imagine that's what

272
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: they're talking about. Eight billion dollars, eight billion dollars of

273
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: orre money. That's it's the record budget. It's so in

274
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: times of big ridership plummeting, there's they want more money

275
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: to spend. Now, did they collect eight billion dollars? I

276
00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: doubt it. I guess they get grant money. And yeah,

277
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: because because all these all these levels of government is

278
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: trying to be running a deficit of some kind though, oh,

279
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: an actual operating deficity. Yeah, these are all subsidies, probably

280
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: from the state in the federal government in addition to

281
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: the city. No, there's very little mass transit that produces

282
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: an operational profit. It's really expensive to run and people

283
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: if they pay, and in LA they're not even paying anymore.

284
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: The fares are so low. But if you know, if

285
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: if it was like New York City, at least, what

286
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: you'd be doing is taking people off the streets, you know,

287
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: dramatically lessening traffic because you know, the roads are still

288
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: congested in New York and there's no parking and all that.

289
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: So it's really useful. But in LA it's not useful.

290
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: They it doesn't follow anyone's normal commuting pattern. All right,

291
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: when we come back, Wow, there's another chapter still concerning

292
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: the former Olympic gymnastics team doctor Larry Nasa who sexually

293
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: assaulted all those young gymnast girls and other athletes. He

294
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: was in Michigan, and of course he was with the

295
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: US gymnastics team. Well, John Manley's coming on because they

296
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: are not going to The decision was made by the

297
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: Department of Justice to not criminally charge FBI agents who

298
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: apparently had learned all sorts of information about claims of

299
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 1: sex abuse by NASA, and let him continue on for

300
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: a long period of time abusing girls. Coming up next,

301
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: Johnny Ken Show. Oh, the five o'clock hour is almost here,

302
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: and of course we've got the moist line. It's Friday.

303
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna start though, by talking to State Senator Melenda Melendez,

304
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: who will give us more information on this a strange

305
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: bill that passed today in Sacramento to eliminate reporting requirements

306
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: to law enforcement regarding acts of assaults or physical threats

307
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: by pupils again teachers and other school employees. The thinking

308
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: behind it is that it apparently impacts students of color

309
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: too much, so we've got to stop reporting them. But

310
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: could it be key and instrumental in stopping a possible

311
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: mass shooter. We'll talk about all this at five oh five.

312
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: But now you've probably heard the story of Larry Nasser.

313
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: He was the team doctor for the US women's national

314
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: gymnastics team, and he sexually abused hundreds of girls. On

315
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: young women over the years, numerous Olympic and US gymnasts,

316
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice was investigating some FBI agents

317
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: who may have covered up may have had knowledge of

318
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: what Nasser was up to. But the Department of Justice

319
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: today said they are not going to be criminally charging

320
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: charging the FBI agents. We are going to put now

321
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: John Manley on because he's the lead attorney representing many, many,

322
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: hundred thousand survivors of sexual assault by Nasser, and he's

323
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: got a lot to say on this. John. How are you, hey, guys,

324
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: how are you doing for the audience? Explain what you

325
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: say The FBI agents knew about Larry Nasser's activities. Sure so.

326
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: In May of twenty and fifteen, our client, Maggie Nichols,

327
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: who was a national team gymnast, Ali Raisman and Michael

328
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: and Moroni. Raisman and Moroni are both gold medalists. Ali

329
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: Raisman is a two time gold medalist, reported to USA

330
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Gymnastics that Larry Nasser had molested them. USA Gymnastics delayed

331
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: for six weeks before they finally reported it, and they

332
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: reported it to the FBI. They reported it to a

333
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: man named Jay Abbott, who was a special Agent in

334
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: charge of the Indianapolis Field Office. It was very clear

335
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: they were molested. There was no ambiguity. And for over

336
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: a year the FBI told my clients families, the Raisemins,

337
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: the Maronis, and the Nichols that they were investigating. It

338
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: turns out that they weren't. What they were doing is

339
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: helping and assisting USA Gymnastics in hiding the fact that

340
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: Larry Nasser was a child molester. We believe and you

341
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: don't have to believe me. The Office of the Inspector

342
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: General the Department of Justice came to the same conclusion.

343
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: The DIG report, which came out about eight months ago,

344
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: determined that not one but three agents lied under oath

345
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: that they violated policy. They were doing things like clearing

346
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: press releases for the USA Gymnastics. Jay Abbott was actually negotiating,

347
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: We're trying to get a job as the director of

348
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: security for the US Olympic Committee. While this went on,

349
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: and it was very clear that Steve Penny, the president

350
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: of the USA Gymnastics, did not want this out. He said,

351
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: our biggest concern is that doctor Nasser, who's very squirmy,

352
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: chases the story. He said, thinks that the FBI when

353
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis star broke the story about abuse and gymnastics

354
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: that he wanted to body slam the journalist. He put

355
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: this in an email to the FBI. The Special Agent

356
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: in charge, the La Office of the FBI, the Detroit

357
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: and Grand Rapids Office of the FBI, and the Indianapolis

358
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: office the FBI all assisted in this cover up. And

359
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: it's not just academic. What happened is when they covered

360
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: this up, they pulled Nasser from USA Gymnastics, but they

361
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: didn't pull him from Michigan State. He molested over a

362
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: hundred more little girls in that year period of time.

363
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: While the FBI knew he was cham Lesser told nobody

364
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: he was actually under investingation by the Michigan State Police,

365
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: and the FBI never notified them. Had he picked up

366
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: the phone, they would have been arrested and over one

367
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: hundred little girls would not have been molested. What the

368
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: Department of Justice did, frankly, the Trump Department of Justice

369
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: and the Biden Department of Justice in not charging these guys,

370
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: gives them a green light. They fired one agent, Jabbott,

371
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: retired as an entire you know, lifetime pension of multiple

372
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars and you know, again, you don't have

373
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: to believe me. Jerry Moran, conservative Republican senator from Kansas,

374
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: great US Senator Senator Blumenthal, another good US Senator Democrat

375
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: from from from Connecticut, or co chairs of this committee,

376
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: both have expressed outrage. They've held multiple hearings on it,

377
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: on the Department of Justice scambling of this. And you

378
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: know what's really messed up is that if you or

379
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: I or anybody else in the street lie under oath

380
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: to the FBI, you go to jail. And you know,

381
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: the Justice Department has already determined these guys are liars

382
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: and they won't charge them. And the question you have

383
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: to ask yourself is why. And I'm very confident of

384
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: the Senate's going to hold a hearing and get to

385
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: the bottom of this. But Simone Biles, Ali Raisman, MICHAELA. Morone,

386
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: some of the biggest names in gymnastics all were abused

387
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: by this man. And many little girls that I represented,

388
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: and I know some of whom are still little girls,

389
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: were molested by this man in that year period. Imagine

390
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: trying to explain to their families that the FBI knew

391
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy was a monster and didn't do anything.

392
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: In fact, hit it and live ask you something. Let

393
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: me ask you something. I understand that one of the agents,

394
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: Jay Abbott, was trying to get a job right, so

395
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: he had motivation to block this investigation. But you mentioned

396
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: there were FBI agents in Los Angeles and Detroit and Indianapolis,

397
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: and addition to Abbott, what was the motivation for all

398
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: of them to join in this cover up? What were

399
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: they getting out of it? John, That's a very interesting question.

400
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: What I can tell you is, at the very time

401
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: this cover up was happening, the the LA Olympic Committee

402
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: LA twenty twenty eight was trying to get the BID.

403
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: I believe. I can't prove it, but I believe because

404
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: I you know, I can't take discovery because the case

405
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: went to bankruptcy. But I believe this. This happened at

406
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: a higher level of Justice Department, and I think there

407
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: was pressure because of the bid. I've always believed it,

408
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: and I think there are members of the US Senate

409
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: to believe it. But this was not some rogue agent

410
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis doing this on his own. The Special Agent

411
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: in charge of the Indianapolis Office doesn't tell the LA

412
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: office what to do. He doesn't tell the Detroit office

413
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: what to do. You know, the FBI's you know, when

414
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: I grew up, you know, you watched Efraim Zimbolis Junior

415
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: on the FBI Show, and it was this revered agency.

416
00:24:54,920 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: And frankly, under Jim Comey, it's developed a culture of arrogance,

417
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: of indifference. Uh. And that's failing. And if you know,

418
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: if it fails Simone Biles, and if it fails Alley

419
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: Raceman and Michael and Moroney, how do you think the

420
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: average Well, you know, what's what's weird here is that

421
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: it encompasses these far flung FBI offices Detroit, Indianbos, Los Angeles.

422
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: It covers, you know, two different administrations that are wildly

423
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 1: different politically, Trump and Biden. I'm trying to understand. I mean,

424
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: some of this goes probably goes back, you know, to

425
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: the obombing years. I'm trying to understand what is the

426
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: motivation for all these disparate agencies and people and agents

427
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: to all be in on protecting Larry Nasser and covering

428
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: up his crimes. And the crimes were staggering, they're overwhelming.

429
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: What is it? Yeah, I mean, what's motivating all these people?

430
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: I can tell you. All I can tell you is

431
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: what the DOJ says. And this is not John Manley

432
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: saying it. This is the Department of Justice that there were,

433
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, and nobody has gotten these guys under oath.

434
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: And I'm actually I'm very confident and hopeful that there's

435
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: going to be a Senate hearing and then get these

436
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: aims under oath. I mean, you who I've never seen.

437
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: I've been doing this thirty years. The FBI was clearing

438
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: press releases, the USA Gymnastics was gonna send out. They

439
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: were lying to raise the raisements. You know, I can

440
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: tell you Linn Raiseman would get on here right now

441
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: and tell you they lied to her face. They were

442
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: so desperate to get the FBI to act they actually

443
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: called a field office in Boston and asked them to

444
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: investigate it, and investigate it because that's where they lived.

445
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: They couldn't get anybody to do anything, and they were

446
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: kept being told by and they weren't communicating with the FBI.

447
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: The FBI had Steve Penny communicate with them, who had

448
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: every every desire to cover this up. Steve Penny tried

449
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: to attend Ali Raisman's interview at the Olympic Training Center

450
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: with the FBI, and they were to let him do it.

451
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: So this isn't some wild, wild conspiracy. This is what happened. Now.

452
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: I believe that it's all in the Inspector General. It's

453
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: all in the Inspector General's report, and I think it's

454
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: really important we get your question answered. Okay, it hasn't been.

455
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: We've got to go. I got the news coming up here,

456
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: but we want to stay on top of this because

457
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: I want to know. I want to know what's throws

458
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: the story behind this? All right, John, thanks for coming

459
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: on again, John, John Manley with Manley Stewart and finalde

460
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: and again the story is the Larry Nasser sexual abuse

461
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: of gymnasts and both on the Olympic team and at

462
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Has another chapter, and that's the FBI agents

463
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: who apparently covered this all up. They got information back

464
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen about the molestations, sat on it so

465
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: NASA could go on to abuse more girls and the

466
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: decision was made by the Department of Justice to not

467
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: criminally charge them. More. Coming up, John and Kencalfe, we

468
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: interrupt the John and Kent's show for a very important

469
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: message are you listening? What? Hi? It's Deborah. Can you

470
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: ask John to call me as soon as possible. It's

471
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: important trying to figure something out about tonight. Can't leave

472
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: until I speak with him. Been trying for an hour?

473
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: Thank you? What's my phone ringing? So? Oh, I just

474
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: got the same text I did. I just looked in

475
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: my phone. She gave up trying to reach you directly. Well,

476
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: I got two checks here, Yeah, call me now. Okay,

477
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: So you want to do it now? You want to

478
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: wait the for minute? I look at wait five minutes.

479
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: It's I mean, she only call me fifteen minutes ago.

480
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: It's been trying for an hour. Come on, you fun

481
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: an hour. It's fifteen minutes most, she said in her

482
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: text she was trying for an hour to I don't know.

483
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you're in trouble. That's a permanent state.

484
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: They continue to arrest people involved in the massive and

485
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: really nationwide unemployment insurance scam that was precipitated by the

486
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: pandemic and the idea, particularly here in California, to just

487
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: get the money out there, don't worry about who's claiming it.

488
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: Now they're trying to catch up with these people this

489
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: time It involves a postal carrier and a man from Valencia.

490
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: The carrier is thirty two year old Stephen Glover, a Palmdale.

491
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: The Valencia man is twenty six year old Travis McKenzie.

492
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: They apparently McKenzie lived on Glover's delivery route, and between

493
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one they obtained debit cards

494
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: from the California Employment Development Department by applying for federal

495
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: unemployment benefits using about fifty stolen identities and claiming a

496
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: whole bunch of COVID nineteen related job losses. They ended

497
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: up being issued cards with balances totaling nearly eight hundred

498
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They withdrew over three hundred thousand from the cards,

499
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 1: and I imagine they spent it like most people do

500
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: on fun stuff, luxury goods, cars, travel. I don't know.

501
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't say here, but it says here. The debit

502
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: cards were issued in the names of victims, some of

503
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: whom had never resided in, worked in, or even visited California.

504
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: According to the prosecutors, the men withdrew and split the

505
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: money using the cards. See the postal guy is helpful

506
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: because now you don't have to worry about sending it

507
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: to somebody else's house and trying to get it from them.

508
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: You know how, you have to put an address on it.

509
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: You can control the card when it's mailed. So if

510
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: you have the postal carrier working with you, he said,

511
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: we'll just send it to any house on the route. Sure,

512
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: and I'll grab it and I'll bring it to you.

513
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: Here are the addresses on my route, exactly right. So

514
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: he ends up or even brought him right to Glover's home,

515
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: all of them, no matter what the address was on it.

516
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: He took it to Glover's home and said, here we go,

517
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: let's have a big night. That's a good one. That's

518
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: a good one. You get a postal workers a little

519
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: inside helped to make that which of the debit cards

520
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: go to the right place. It worked for a while.

521
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: We did what happened, and it took somebody til here

522
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to catch up with them. I'm I

523
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: guess these are federal crimes because they used the mail system.

524
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: So there's it's mail fraud. Because if it was in

525
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: the state, they probably nothing much would happen to them.

526
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: But the federal crimes means they really will go to

527
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: jail over this. Yeah. I think they even did something

528
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: with the Virginia unemployment system. I mean they were working

529
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: the whole country, but obviously Redd got ripped off the most.

530
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you like to see I'd love to even see

531
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: this dramatized. Once they announced this system, right, how many

532
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of people around the world got all excited.

533
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: They're sitting in their apartments, in their living rooms, and

534
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: it instantly hits them. It's like, oh, I can scam

535
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: this system, like all the professional scammers who do this

536
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: stuff all day. I mean, because this is a tremendous

537
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: outpouring of scam requests. Thousands and thousands of people, yeah,

538
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: are doing this. There are scammers waiting every day for

539
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: the new and best opportunity, and they jumped right on

540
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: this one twenty I wonder how many of them this

541
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 1: was just another another scam they were pulling right at

542
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: a you know, maybe twenty a year, and how many

543
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: of them decided for the first time It's like, I

544
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: think I know how I can do. I have to

545
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: do thought of form. All right, We're there the five

546
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: o'clock hour Friday, so we have about twenty minutes. You'll

547
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: hear from the moistline people a lot of what we'll do.

548
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: In between. We'll focus on, of course, the Texas mass

549
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: shooting and the news today that they made the wrong

550
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: decision not getting right into that classroom and neutralizing that gunman.

551
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: I had that forty forty five minute period elapse where

552
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: kids may have been dying or already about to be shot.

553
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll start with Melissa Melendez from

554
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: the California State Senate. They voted and it's kind of

555
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: related to this to end the requirement that students who

556
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: threatened violence against school officials be reported to law enforcement.

557
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: We'll get all the details coming up. I don't understand

558
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,920
