It 42 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: was rowdy and crazy today as the La City Council 43 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: voted overwhelmingly do not allow homeless encampments within five hundred 44 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: feet of schools in daycare centers. But the activists took 45 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: over the meeting. They shut it down for a while. Yes, 46 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: those who favor the homeless being on the streets, they 47 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: don't like any kind of enforcement operations, they don't like 48 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: any kind of conservatorship. I don't know what they expect. 49 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: I think that you're going to build multi billion dollar 50 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: high rises for everybody. That's going to solve the problem magically. 51 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: So I'll talk to Joe about thirty minutes. Big story 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: today on the John and Kent Show is what happened 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: out in Norco in Riverside County early Sunday morning at 54 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: a place called Norco Market and Liquor. A group of men, 55 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: four of them, showed up with the intention of robbing 56 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: the liquor store. Yeah, this is three am Sunday morning. 57 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: The only person working there was Craig Cope, eighty years old, 58 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: and apparently he has owned that liquor store for fifty 59 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: five years. So he's inside the store behind the counter. 60 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: He's got his surveillance system going and I'm going to 61 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: talk about that in a moment, but he notices these 62 00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: guys pull up in their BMW SUV. They get out 63 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: their masks, they're wearing dark clothing, and they have weapons. 64 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: Reports are that the one that entered the store did 65 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 1: have an A R fifteen. I haven't had that confirmed yet, 66 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: but Craig decided he's not taken any chances, so he 67 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: grabbed his shotgun and after this guy came inside the 68 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: store and started to point the weapon, Craig fired away. 69 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: It hit the twenty three year old suspect, who hasn't 70 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: been named yet, in the shoulder. He fled his buddies 71 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: outside realized what was going on. There was sort of 72 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: confusion like the Keystone cops. As they ran around the car. 73 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: They almost left one guy behind and they took off 74 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: from the scene. But apparently they showed up at a 75 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: local hospital because this guy needed treatment. I'm surprised they 76 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: did that, and they arrested the four suspects. There will 77 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: be no charges against Craig Cope. That's already been announced 78 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Suspects or a twenty 79 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: two year old from Inglewood, a twenty seven year old 80 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: from La a twenty four year old from Las Vegas. 81 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: The other man that I mentioned who got shot is 82 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: in critical but stable condition. We don't have his name. 83 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: But here is about seventeen seconds of the encounter and 84 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: you can hear the panic, which was picked up well 85 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: in the audio. The thing I guess I think that 86 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: was the robber saying put your put your hands up, 87 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: and that's when Craig fired. He did suffer some sort 88 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: of a heart attack from the shock of the incident, 89 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: had to be rushed to the hospital. We're hearing now 90 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: that he's at home recovering. He wants to get back 91 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: to work. A woman by the name of Tamara Gibbons, 92 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: who has worked at the store since October, told The 93 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Daily Mail that Cope, of course is loved by the community, 94 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: a great boss. Why he even is helpful to the 95 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: transience in the area. He was, of course, the only 96 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: one working Sunday overnight. But because and this is a 97 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: key part of the story, they did not. They just 98 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: installed this rather complex high definition security camera system not 99 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: that long ago. According to another employee, Marni Tapia, he 100 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: prepared himself and he's always prepared as far as weapons go. 101 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: A few months back, the sheriff came in and warned 102 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: him that there are convenience store robberies going on in 103 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: the area. You need to keep an eye out and 104 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: pay attention and be on your toes. So after that warning, 105 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: he installed this elaborate security camera system, which had cameras 106 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: in the parking lot. Of course, in the story, if 107 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: you've watched the video, conch is quite Yes, we actually 108 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: have Tamera on the line from the store. If you 109 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: want to talk to her, yeah, let me take a 110 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: break though, Okay, so we don't run into time here. Okay, 111 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: so you can only do it now, Actually, she goes, okay, 112 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: all right, then play her on the here. Okay, Hello, Hello, 113 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: who am I talking to camera Tamera? You work at 114 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: the NorCal liquor store, Yes, they do.

Yeah, yeah, 124 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: he did so. It was always he was always on 125 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: the alert for the possibility of somebody coming in trying 126 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: to rob him. Huh. Yeah, I mean he owns the 127 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: other He's owned other liquor stores.

No, not since, not 131 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: that I'm aware of. Know. Does Craig usually work a 132 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: Sunday morning at three am? Yes, he works a lot. 133 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: He works a lot. All right, thanks for talking to me. 134 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate you know, you're busy at the store so much. 135 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: A lot of people have come by to show support. 136 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: Is that what I'm hearing? Oh? A group of people 137 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: from all over Long Beach Newport Beach Lake Elsinore. We're 138 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: getting phone calls from Canada, New York. Yeah, this is 139 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: quite the story. All right, thanks for talking to me 140 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: and give Craig my best I will do. Thank you 141 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: so much. All right. That's an employee of the Norco 142 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: liquor store. I realized she's actually still work. You could 143 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: hear her transacting there. She was talking to me, so 144 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: I want to keep her on too long. But she's 145 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: one of the people I mentioned in this article in 146 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail talk about what a great guy Craig 147 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: Cope is. And as I mentioned before, the Riverside County 148 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department has already made it very clear there will 149 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: be no charges against this man. He was there and 150 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: clearly there was a threat and he took action to 151 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: defend himself. It could have been his life in question, 152 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: and he made sure that these guys we are not 153 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: going to get away with it. And I think that's 154 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: what's important because with the criminal justice system being dismantled, 155 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: this is Riverside County. I'm not going to pick on them, 156 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: but we know what's happening in La County with our 157 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: DA George Gascone, and we do know that a few 158 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: weeks ago there were these horrible seven eleven robberies which 159 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: resulted in the death of several people, other people shot 160 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: and badly injured. That the situation right now is bad 161 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: out there, and you are going to have to be prepared. 162 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: You are going to have to be ready for something 163 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: like this to happen. So hopefully we'll talk to Craig tomorrow. 164 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: We'll get them on the show here on the Johnny 165 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: Ken Show and KFI more coming up coming up after 166 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: four or thirty LA Council and Joe Buscayeno will be 167 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: my guest. There was quite a bit of chaos today 168 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: in the La City Council chambers. In their meeting, they 169 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: voted to ban homeless encampments near schools across La but 170 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: homeless advocates activists carried signs, cheered, tried to disrupt everything. 171 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: Raucous is one word they shouted down council members and 172 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: at one point they actually halted the meeting. But in 173 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: the end it was approved eleven to three to expand 174 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: the number of locals were sleeping and camping are off limits, 175 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: a small victory in the horrible problem of the homeless 176 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: in the city. Of La and apparently Joe attempted to 177 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: speak in favor of the restrictions and it got really ugly. 178 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: And he'll tell us the whole story after the news 179 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: at four thirty yesterday. One of the big stories besides 180 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi making a way to Taiwan. I'll have more 181 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: on that later because she did arrive there. Today there 182 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: was the speech by old Joe Biden that we had 183 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: killed the al Qaeda leader. I'man al Zawahiri. If you 184 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: followed this story over the years, this was the successor 185 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: to while Sama bin Laden. He took over not long 186 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: after Bin Laden was killed in twenty eleven. But the 187 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: US has been searching for him ever since the nine 188 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: to eleven attacks. In fact, he was involved in the 189 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: planning of other deadly terrorist attacks that killed Americans before 190 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: nine eleven. But this really put him on the radar, 191 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: kind of the second most wanted behind Osama Bin Laden. 192 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: US intelligence operatives hunted him for the last twenty years. 193 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: They thought that he was in Pakistan's tribal area or 194 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: inside Afghanistan. Apparently back in two thousand and three they 195 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: came very close to capturing him, and in two thousand 196 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: and four, they came close to killing him, but close 197 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 1: doesn't count. In two thousand and nine, they thought they 198 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: had him, but they were tricked by the old double agent, 199 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: I guess, led them to believe that he could lead 200 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: them to Tsarhiri, but instead he blew himself up, and 201 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: he killed seven CIA agency employees and wounded six more. 202 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: This happened in Afghanistan. Well, I don't remember that story. 203 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: In two thousand and nine. I would have thought that 204 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: would have been bigger. He was finally pinpointed earlier this 205 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: year in the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul, hanging out with 206 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: his wife, his daughter, and his kids in a safe house, 207 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: which is of course supported by the Taliban network. There 208 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: was much speculation as to what was going to happen 209 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: when the Taliban took back the country in terms of 210 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: terrorist networks there, and of course they were saying things 211 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: publicly like, oh, we don't want al Qaeda in this country, 212 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: don't worry about which turns out to be bs. They 213 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: were harboring this man in this safe house. It looked 214 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: like the time that they were watching him. He never 215 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: seemed to leave the house, but they noticed on several 216 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: occasions for longer period of time, he went out on 217 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: the balcony, and I guess that's when they decided that 218 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: when the time comes and we're ready to do this quickly, 219 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: we're going to send in a drone and we're gonna 220 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: pulverize him. Two senior network security officials were first briefed 221 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,359 Speaker 1: on this intelligence back in April, and then they updated 222 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: Biden and his National security advisor in May. In June, 223 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: they began to vet this to make sure they had 224 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: the right options and the right plan, and finally on 225 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: July first, they told Biden, we're ready to move with 226 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: the strike. We just have to get a pattern of 227 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: his life to pin down his movements. They even built, 228 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: as you probably heard, the scale model of the safe house. 229 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: It was shown to Biden in the situation room, and 230 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: he got a final briefing on July twenty fifth that 231 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: they were going to go ahead and do it on 232 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: the weekend, which is what they did. Now. The fascinating 233 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: thing about this story, which always excites us here on 234 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: the John and Ken Show, is the weapon that was 235 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: used apparently to take out Zawahiri. We've mentioned it before. 236 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: It's known as a hellfire missile, to be exact the 237 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: R nine X hell Fire variant. Some of its nicknames 238 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: are Ninja or the flying Ginzoo missile. So if you 239 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: haven't figured it out by now, it works with a 240 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: series of fast moving blades. They have used it before. 241 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: It has six blades that rotate at an enormously high speed, 242 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: and the blades deploy before impact. The reason that this 243 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: has become the weapon of choice is to minimize collateral damage. 244 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: So instead of just blowing up a bomb and the 245 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: old drones, you should just drop some sort of a 246 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: missile on the target. That can sometimes get messy and 247 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: you can end up killing other people in the general vicinity. 248 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: They've come up with this missile which and it does. 249 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: It literally pierces and cuts up its target just like 250 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: a fast almost like probably walked into a huge helicopter 251 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: blade chopped them up into pieces. And that's why they're 252 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: pretty confident that nobody else suffered in this attack on 253 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: Zaaheri at this safe house the White House, though was 254 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: not confirmed exactly what type of hell fire missiles were used. 255 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: A reporter was asking a senior administration official about the 256 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: nature of the missile, but he didn't answer the question. 257 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: All they're saying right now is at a strike killed 258 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: al Zawahiri and we avoided civilian casualties, and it did 259 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: not destroy the safe house where he was hiding with 260 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: his family. It's unclear whether the missiles inflicted any kind 261 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: of structural damage beyond the patio, because that'll just chop 262 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: up and obviously this isn't perfect. If like his wife 263 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: or kid walked out in the balcony at the precise 264 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: moment the blades were, they would have been chopped up too, 265 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: like Swiss cheese. Hell Fire missiles are air to surface missiles, 266 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: initially designed for anti armor strikes, but later versions have 267 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: been used for precision drone strikes. The arms manufacturer of 268 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: Lockheed Martin developed the missiles with the name Hella Born 269 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: Laser Fire and Forget missile, which eventually evolved into what 270 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: it's called now the hell Fire missile, and apparently they 271 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: first deployed this in twenty seventeen. Are nine X variant. 272 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: They used it to kill somebody by the name of 273 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: Abu Kaiir al Masri, a member of al Qaeda's leadership, 274 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: and apparently that is the weapon they used to kill 275 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: what is considered to be the current leader of al Qaeda, 276 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: and they took them out in Afghanistan. All right. Coming 277 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: up next on the John and Kent's show, the La 278 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: City Council had quite a chaotic day. They voted to 279 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: ban homeless encampments near schools across the city, but not 280 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: before they were interrupted by wacky homeless advocate protesters. Joe 281 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: Buscayano the La City Council will be my guests. Coming 282 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: up next, John and Ken Show on kfive at five 283 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: oh five, we are going to talk about La County 284 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: DA George Gascone again. The latest chapter in his dismantling 285 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: of the criminal justice system in La County is his 286 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: desire to take people off of death row, people that 287 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: got death penalty sentences. And the logic from him and 288 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: his public defenders that work for him is that, well, 289 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: we're not really executing anybody anyway, so let's put him 290 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: with life without parole. But there are many ways to 291 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: parole once you get life without parole. We'll talk about 292 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: it with a woman whose father was murdered over thirty 293 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: years ago and they're finding that this is happening with 294 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: her father's murderer. They're trying to move him to life 295 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: without parole, which could eventually lead to his release, since 296 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: this killer was not that old at the time he 297 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: killed this woman's father. That comes up after the news 298 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: at five o'clock on the John and Ken Show, We're 299 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: gonna play you some sound today that occurred at a 300 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: meeting of the La City Council. They were voting on 301 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: homeless encampments near schools and daycare centers, and of course 302 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: when it involves the homeless, here come the activists. This 303 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: as part of the noise they made you, Nuri, get 304 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: out of here, Get out of here, Get out of here, 305 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: Get out here, Nuri, a reference to Nur Martinez, a 306 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: city council president. We vote no. Well, we're gonna talk 307 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: to La City Council with Joe Joe Buscato right now, 308 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: who of course was there and he apparently wanted to 309 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: speak and support of the band of homeless encampments within 310 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: five hundred feet of schools and daycare centers. But this 311 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: meeting got shut down down for a point. It did 312 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: eventually resumed with an eleven to three vote in favor 313 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: of the restrictions. Joe, welcome back to the show. Thanks 314 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: Ken for having me. In fact, I was on the 315 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: show over a year ago, and I proposed this idea 316 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: common sense idea to ban encampments next to our most 317 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: sacred places, our schoolyards, in our schools. And I know 318 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,239 Speaker 1: we're calling these folks homeless activists. I call them the 319 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: world's greatest enablers here in our city. Yeah, so how 320 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: did this unfold? It's apparently was it your turn to speak? 321 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: And then everything turned chaotic or what happened there? Yeah? So, first, 322 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, there were a kind of monitor who's going 323 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: to speak? We have staff monitoring the que Mike bond 324 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: for spoke and spoke about calling an end to any 325 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: enforcement in the city as it relates to having any 326 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: rules with encampments. The crowd went wild on their feet, 327 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: clapped their hands as the Nifia Rahman spoke, and she 328 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: struck a chord with these anarchists, and then they went 329 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: wild again, agreeing what she had to say. And then 330 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: you know, I was told by staff that no one 331 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: else was going to speak. So I pushed my button, 332 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: thinking about having that voice for students, families, and teachers 333 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: who've been subjected to open drug dens, subjected to psychotic 334 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: behavior next to school, subjected to sex crimes, and I 335 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: stood on behalf of those folks who were demanding action 336 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: in and around our schools, at which point all they 337 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: did was stand, and the crowd shut me down and 338 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: said shut it down, shut him down. This is not democracy, 339 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: can It was an embarrassment. It's exactly that these are, 340 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: you know, a mob rule. And sure enough they did 341 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: a great job of subverting democracy. But we took a 342 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: fifteen minute initial of fifteen minute recess and then the 343 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: council president extended it and in came LAPD to clear 344 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: them out, which was a total waste of resources, and 345 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: we waited about an hour or so till the chambers 346 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: were cleared out for us to resume the people's business. 347 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: And these are again individuals who do not represent the 348 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: majority of Los Angeles. These are folks who when I 349 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: launched this initiative over a year ago at an elementary 350 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: school in the Hollywood, the same folks who disrupted my 351 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: press conference, if you recall, the same group who bully 352 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: our city hall staffers at these and homeless cleanups. We're 353 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: actually connecting people to resources. They're doing everything to prevent 354 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: progress in our city. Yeah, you know, when people see 355 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: these stories and they think, Wow, a crowd like that 356 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: showed up to object to this, that must mean they 357 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: represent a larger part of the populace. But that's not 358 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: the case. And we've seen this where they've shown up 359 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: to try to block homeless encampment cleanups. You probably encountered 360 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: some of these people when you went to Venice to 361 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: take a look what was going on over there when 362 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: you were running from mayor. They just want to get 363 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: their way by shouting everybody down. You heard them say, 364 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: f Nori Martinez in that audio there. Now, Joe, you 365 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: introduced this a year ago. It seems like things have changed. 366 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that you would have gotten eleven votes 367 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: maybe a year ago for this. I'm not sure because 368 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, I've been on this show before. When my 369 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: common sense solutions come before this council, they were they 370 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: send it the committee to further study and get sportbacks. 371 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: But here we are a year later. I believe you know, 372 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: my colleagues are finally realizing when you know, when students 373 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: come to the microphone, which they have last month prior 374 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: to recess, there's students, parents, teachers, the own LAUSD Superintendent 375 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: Carlo whom he's been here only a minute. But I'm 376 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: proud of his leadership thus far because his predecessor took 377 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: no stand on this. He actually came to full counsel 378 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: demanding that we take action. And I could have told 379 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: you this what he was saying. I've been saying for 380 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: over a year. And sure enough, my my colleagues came 381 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: on board. Of course, Bonden, Miss Ramin and and Marquis 382 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Harris Dawson voted against it, but we got the votes. 383 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: And have there been a lot of complaints that they're 384 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: homeless encampments too close to the schools of LA Is 385 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,239 Speaker 1: that why the superintendent showed up. Absolutely, he's hearing it 386 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: from his community of schools administrators. He's hearing it from 387 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: the ground level. In fact, I get I can I 388 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: field calls from teachers and parents from outside my district 389 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: because you're not going to find large nasior encampments next 390 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: to my schools. I'll tell you now, So if you're 391 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: not going to find any large, dangerous encampments, because we've 392 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: actually enforced the rules in my district. And part of 393 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: the problem is we're handling this situation, this homelessness crisis 394 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: that it relates to Rules fifteen different ways. So I 395 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: there have been yes, complaints, concerns. I heard a story 396 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: in a school in South Los Angeles where they were 397 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: handing out free meals, free meals to our students, that 398 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: the homeless individuals at this school were chasing down kids 399 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: and families for their lunch sack that was given out 400 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: at the school. I hear stories of RVs in the 401 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: West Side that our part have parked in front of 402 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: elementary schools, that no action was taken until the RV 403 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:53,719 Speaker 1: burned out students. Stories of parents complaining to their principles 404 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: of these sex acts while kids are playing in their schoolyard. 405 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: Asinine and what have you've taken this long? Do you 406 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: think that there's going to be real enforcement. I'm looking 407 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: at this story in the Times and it says they've 408 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: been posting signs for deadlines for homeless people to leave, 409 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: but months pass the enforcement deadline, and there are people 410 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: that's saying that this has not really been enforced. Well, 411 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: it starts with bold leadership, and it starts at the top. 412 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: This is why you know this election come November is 413 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: going to be a credible critical point in our city's history. 414 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: You know, do we're in the business of making law. 415 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: But we're also need to enforce the law. And that's 416 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: why have you been successful in my council district from 417 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: Watts all the way down to San Pedro. But what 418 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: you need a mayor, a city attorney that have a 419 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: backbone that will direct the city departments to enforce the law, 420 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: and a city attorney who will prosecute primes. You have candidates, 421 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: one leading candidate for may who wants to study the 422 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: core route of crime, in the core route of homelessness, 423 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: and that Karen Bass. And then Cecil Gill, a city 424 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: attorney candidate who publicly said he's not going to prosecute 425 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: crimes its first underd days. Yeah, he says he would't 426 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: enforce this law, claiming it's unconstitutional, will be struck down 427 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: by the Ninth Circuit. That's what he apparently announced on 428 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: this anti encampment law. Yes, and this is why November 429 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: is critical, a critical moment in this election cycle. All right, Well, 430 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: I know your supporter of Rick Caruso for mayor, and 431 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: you've probably heard the news that we now have Hillary Clinton, 432 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris all endorsing his opponent Karen Bass. 433 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: Are you at all. Yeah, I know soccer, Yeah, the 434 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: sucker right, and the way the Democrats are polling maybe 435 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: not a good thing. Yeah, we'll expect more of the 436 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: established folks coming for Karen. I mean, she's got a 437 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: track record with these folks. They've been friends for decades. 438 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: But again, what Rick Caruso is saying is we need 439 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: to change the direction. How are these these relationships with 440 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: the Democratic establishment helped our city? Look at our city today. 441 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: All right, Joe, thanks for talking to me again, appreciate it. 442 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: Thanks all right. LA City Council and Joe Puskayeno who 443 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: wanted to speak in favor of banning encampments nearest schools 444 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: and daycare centers. It did pass the motion, but he 445 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: got interrupted for a period of time because the activist 446 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: showed up and shut the whole thing down the LA 447 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: Council chambers. More coming up with the John and Ken 448 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: Show on KFI next hour. My guests will be Heather 449 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: Scott and Kathy Katie. And the topic again is the 450 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: La County DA George Gascon. We talked about this yesterday 451 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: with John Lewin and La County Deputy DA that apparently 452 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: with the tactic being used now by Gascone, and he's 453 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: attacked and destroyed the criminal justice system in La County 454 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: from all different angles with his directives, and he's got 455 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: these Deputy das who are nothing but public defenders. This 456 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: one is to get people who are on death row 457 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: off of death row and get them re sentenced to 458 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: life without the possibility role. But there is always the 459 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: possibility of parole. See, when you give somebody a death 460 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: sentence and they're on death row, that's not going to happen. 461 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: But if you can get them to elwop they called 462 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: it life without parole, you do have all sorts of 463 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: avenues to explore for possible parole. Heather is going to 464 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: be on the show. Her father Fred was murdered in 465 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two and the killer is a man by 466 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: the name of Scott Forrest Collins. Apparently the DA's office, 467 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: the Deputy DA who's really a public defender, has filed 468 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: a motion to resentence this man to life without parole. 469 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: The family felt blindsided and even tricked by all this. 470 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: We'll talk to Heather and Cathy after the news. At 471 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: five o'clock. I had mentioned that Joe Biden and Kamala 472 00:29:54,520 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: Harris officially endorsed Karen Bass to the next mayor Los Angeles, 473 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: and as I talked to Joe Buscayano, the city councilman 474 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: who's supporting Rick Caruso, expected Bass has been a hack 475 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: in Congress for many years, has made her connections through 476 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. This was not unexpected. But over the weekend, 477 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: an oldie, but a goodie resurfaced on the John and 478 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: Ken Show. I'm not even sure I've heard his name 479 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: much anymore in the entertainment world. Rob Reiner, who of 480 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: course has been a film director in more recent years. 481 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: Of his career started way back in the early seventies 482 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: when he was a character on All in the Family, 483 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: the son in law nicknamed the Meathead by Archie Bunker. 484 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: On the show, Rob Bryner got himself involved in California politics. 485 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: He's quiet now, but he got a tax passed. I 486 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: think a cigarette tax for early childhood educ a preschool 487 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: child education. Last we checked on that it involved taking 488 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: kids on tours of like M and M plants. Just 489 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: another bureaucratic waste of money. Not a smoker, I don't 490 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: really care how much people have to pay in taxes 491 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: on smoking cigarettes. But honestly, a waste of money, and 492 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: he kind of disappeared. This was back I think in 493 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: the nineties. He was more involved in California politics.
