1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: We're here all right, one to four weekdays. It's kind 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: of old news now after a month. But you know, 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: in case you didn't know, you can catch the show 4 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: on the podcast by going to KFIAM sixty dot com 5 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: or the iHeartRadio app. Money is Coming, chance for a 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in just fifteen minutes as we roll out 7 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: the first keyword of the show. This afternoon, we got 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: a lot to get to, but I wanted to put 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: this first because Ray and I found it. I had 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: heard a story this morning that I thought was a parody, 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: and I knew it wasn't, but I said, well, I 12 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: gotta look into this. So I'm going to hand you 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: in a moment the details on this story. I don't 14 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: know anything about it. For years, we have had fun 15 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: with the term that they call the cooling centers, right, 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: the cooling centers, the cooling center. You wondered why there 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: wasn't a heating center because we've had these days of 18 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: chili weather. Yes, cooling centers or places where people could 19 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: go and I guess sit in a chair with air conditioning. 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: Usually the elderly they would, although I remember the last 21 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: time we saw a story it was just some guy. 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: He was younger and City had nothing to do. It 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: was too hot at home, so he just came here 24 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: and sat down and he was reading a paper or 25 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: something like. There's a guy like on his thirties. That's 26 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: the guy you want to hire. City's thirties sitting in 27 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: the cooling center. And what we also found out the 28 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: last time we talked about the cooling center is nobody 29 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: was going to them anymore. With a pandemic and other problems. 30 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: People they were closing them, I think because there was 31 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: only like two people coming there a day or three people. Yeah, Well, 32 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: this story came up and it's a new type of center, 33 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: and there is the details of it. It is apparently 34 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: coming from the Los Angeles Civil and Human Rights and 35 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: Equity Department, and it is not a joke. The Peace 36 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: and Healing Center. Wait a second, is this tax money here? Yeah, 37 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: because it's coming from Los Angeles's Civil and Human Rights 38 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: and Equity Department, the Equity Department. Yeah, and they get 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: funding from the government equity department. And the second question 40 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: I had was what exactly goes on in a piece 41 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: and healing center? How do you I thought it'd be 42 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: like a church. You go in and be kind of dark, 43 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: and there'd be like a little place you could meditate. 44 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: That's right. We already came up with churches to handle that. Well, 45 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: they claim there's no real definition. They just say it's 46 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: diverse programming to meet the community's unique needs. Diverse programming. Yes, well, 47 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: I'd hate to go to a piece and Healing center 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: and find out it wasn't diverse. For example, in Westlake, 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: it's a community garden that's a Piece and Healing center. 50 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: Who got the contracts to build these places? Uh? There's 51 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: financial literacy workshops also being held in other areas. Financial 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: financial literacy helping people who can't figure out how to 53 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: bounce a check book are up in a bank account, right, Yeah, 54 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: that's so hard to do. Creating justice LA and skid 55 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: rob Will offers social through immersive education and music, art 56 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: and meditation for the for the homeless. The homeless on 57 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: skid row. Is that why they're homeless? There's not enough 58 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: art and music in their life. They're not meditating enough. 59 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: All of this comes from LA. Repair and repair is 60 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: an acronym. Can you figure out this one? All? Right? 61 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: R e p A R Reforms for Equity and Public 62 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: acknowledgement of institutional racism. That's what repair stands for. So 63 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: after they formed that group, they came up with ideas, 64 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: how can we spend money to help people repair? Who? 65 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: Who is? Someone came up the piece and a healing center. 66 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: It's yeah. Now they're in eight and a half million 67 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: dollars on the Yeah. Eventually you get to the money 68 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: right as to what they're spending and a half million right. 69 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: I don't see any on my side of town that No, 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: you're not a repair zone. Well I need did you 71 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: see the zones that are, for example, as repair zones 72 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: and Boil Heights, Mission Hills, Panorama City, Southeast LA. I'm 73 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: afraid you and you're rich West Side friends don't get 74 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: a piece in healings. I need peace and healing. I'm 75 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: paid for this most days when I listen to you. 76 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: You do need a lot of peace and healing. Look, 77 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm upset just reading this now. I need to go 78 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: to the peace and healing center and there is none 79 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: for me. This is literate with terms. I haven't seen this. Apparently, 80 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: the Center for Disease Control has a Social Vulnerability Index. 81 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: There's also the calin viro Screen Environmental Index. The cal 82 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: in Viro screen that's almost like an acronym cal in 83 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: viros screen and environmental index. They're trying to figure out 84 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: what qualifies as a repair zone. Hey, and once you're 85 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: designated as a repair zone, then you can get this 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: kind of repairs. Can I get my car fixed? No, 87 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: it's it's for racial healing. Wait, it says this pilot program, 88 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: among other things, aims to improve government trust. Yeah, well no, 89 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: this is damaged government trust for me. Yeah, you're right. 90 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: They took eight and a half million dollars of tax money. 91 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: You're right now blowing on this thing. Repair is LA's 92 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: first participatory budget pilot program. It will distribute roughly eight 93 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: and a half millions directly to nine LA City neighborhoods 94 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: that are called repair zones. So that this part I 95 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: think came out a while ago. But the new thing 96 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: was their idea for a piece and a healing center. 97 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: It's healing. So up to twelve grants totally more than 98 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: three million. You sit in a chair. No. Well, one 99 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: example was a garden. Is it quiet? They thought that 100 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: would be a peaceful healing place if people can come 101 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: to a community garden. I have a garden others. Are 102 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: you go out there and heal sometimes and seek peace. 103 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: I've ran out of the house into the garden. If 104 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: you grow a garden, why aren't you bringing vegetables for Deborah? 105 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: Mart I brought lemons to her. Yeah that was a 106 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: long time ago. Well, bring her French fries, every everything 107 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: out that brings her peace and healing, French fries. But 108 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: she's not going to fit into her our whole Our 109 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: whole garden is ruined by that tree that fell down. Anyway, Well, 110 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: maybe you two should get together in your garden and 111 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: have some peace and healing. I have enough of John 112 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: Cobell five days a week. Yeah I don't. I don't 113 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: really spread peace and healing very much. You really don't. 114 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: So apparently they have repair zone committees. Oh wow. See 115 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: this is how a bureaucracy grows. And they sit down 116 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: and they come up with ideas for implementation. I also 117 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: have idea collection the community members share their ideas for programs. 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: This is all nonsense. It gives you a great idea 119 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: of how the government really just like, where does the 120 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: money go? It's cover stories to reward politically connected people 121 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: and campaign downers. That's what it is. And friends and 122 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: family members. It's also virtue signaling to send we're doing 123 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: something about the problems. We've come up with la repair 124 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: zones where people need more immediate attention. But these used 125 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: to be called John what the underserved communities. You always 126 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: mocked that term, but that's kind of what looks like 127 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: they're getting served pretty well here there. They got eight 128 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars. I didn't get that they. 129 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Los Angeles has some of the lowest income and highest 130 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: need areas in the country, resulting from years of structural 131 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: institutional racism. Well maybe if you if you, if you 132 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: get up and go to work, you'll find out that 133 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: things change rapidly. And let's be honest, there's a lot 134 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: of peace and healing if you go get a paycheck 135 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: every week. Some of the highest need areas of because 136 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: we brought in a lot of migrants, yeah, right, different 137 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: countries who were poor and it's tough to you know, 138 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: get going in a new country and and really step 139 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: up economically. There's a lot of people that are you know, 140 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: because we allowed so much immigration, legal and illegal. And 141 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: if you spend a lot of places that are low income, 142 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: spend all day snorton meth and injecting fentinel. Then you 143 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: know instead of going to work. There is nothing that 144 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: going to work won't cure nothing. When we come back, 145 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: we will update you on John's old Benedict Canyon neighborhood. 146 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: We have new information. They also are going to do times. 147 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: Finally did a story that it looks like this was 148 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: involved in some sort of a rap album released party. 149 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: What a shock and the That was my first guess 150 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: that it was that had something to do with with 151 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: rap guys, rap musicians. And I was telling somebody and 152 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: they go, no, no, why do you say that. I 153 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: go watch you'll see rap musicians. I heard ben A 154 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Di Kenyon. I didn't think of a VRBO or Airbnb, 155 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: so I had no idea what happened. I just said, 156 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: that's I thought of you right away. Yeah, And I said, 157 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: if that was fourteen years ago, John could have been shot, 158 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: I could have been the place has gone to hell. 159 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: I'm glad we got out of there. You have it, 160 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: chets for some cash. A thousand dollars is up for 161 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: grabs with a keyword John and ken Cafe. I am 162 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Well coming 163 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: up after one thirty, we are going to talk to 164 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: a board member. It's been a de Canyon association, John's 165 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: old neighborhood, of course, about last weekend's shooting. And I 166 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: think the first question John, what's with Beverly Crest. Let's 167 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: see how he responds to that. We have learned a 168 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: little more about that shooting. I had seen a story 169 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: yesterday that connected it to some sort of an album 170 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: release party that whoever rented the house were outside the 171 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: shooting took place. Three women died inside a car, four 172 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: people were hurt. Supposedly the guy who bought the house 173 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: with a partner in twenty nineteen is in the music industry. 174 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: Oh okay, but he's based in London and he has 175 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: been in Miami most recently, so he rents it out. 176 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: Maybe he rents it out to people in the music 177 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: industry that he's connected to. I don't know. But there's 178 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: some rap guy who had a new album and I've 179 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,599 Speaker 1: not heard who this is. Apparently the local media is 180 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: paralyzed and is unable to find out that. Police say 181 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: they got a pretty good idea who is, but they're 182 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 1: not they're not saying it publicly yet. Yeah, that's what 183 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: also came out of the story. It reminded me a 184 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: bit of the Idaho murders that they just did not 185 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: release everything they had for reasons that they just didn't 186 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: want the killer maybe to know, and maybe in this 187 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: case they don't want who they're looking forward to be 188 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: on the run too much because they think they got 189 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: a good lead that they can go track them down 190 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: and arrest them. I don't know how many people, I mean, 191 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: thirty shots rang out right, thirty So the apparently the 192 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: car that was struck was a Porsche Sports Suv. It 193 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: was rented. The three women were sitting in there, they 194 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: were they were killed by the gunfire? No, not they 195 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: were targeted or was just an exchange of gunfire between 196 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: two disputing groups, Which is I think the lead belief 197 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: that there was yeah, sort of a yeah, I think 198 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: the shots went two ways. Now cracked me up. In 199 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: the leftist propaganda El Segundo Times, yes, the headline aspiring 200 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: rapper two mothers killed and betted to Kenyon shooting. Why 201 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: are rappers always described as aspiring rappers? I do, Well. 202 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: Do you ever see a phrase aspiring plumbers? An aspiring 203 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: web of welder has been killed? Well? You do have 204 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: aspiring athletes, right, aspiring maybe not really aspiring football player 205 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: where you they're playing football or not? They turned into 206 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: something more noble and romantic and tragic. She was None 207 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: of the women had any criminal history. Family members are talking. 208 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: One of them is wondering if something happened at a 209 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: bowling alley. Apparently they had been bowling before they went 210 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: to the house for the party, that they have set 211 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: people off, but an investigators said they don't believe that 212 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: has anything to do with this. But they're not saying 213 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: what led to the exchange of gunfire outside this house 214 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: at three in the morning. It could be drinking, there's drugs, 215 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: there's a competitive competition going on, maybe competition for the women. Yeah, 216 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: who knows? And sadly, this is what some of the 217 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: rap songs are about. There's often violence and gun fire 218 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: and there's some tough things that go on. Now. Can 219 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: you earn a rap song about flowers and rainbows? No? No, 220 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: I mean either some romantic ballad? I don't think so. So. 221 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: LA magazine has an exclusive Oh but John, The headline 222 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: is Beverly Crest. How exclusive can you be if you're 223 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: not naming the area? Right? Beverly Crest mass shooting partygoers 224 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: burglarized the rental hall rental hours later. Yeah, you know, 225 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: it strips a bizarre I you know, I called my 226 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: friend who still lives in the neighborhood, and he told 227 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: me this a couple of days ago. He said they 228 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: came back. They came back and broke in, and I 229 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: couldn't believe it because I thought the cops were around. 230 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: But I guess the cops had gone home. It's a 231 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: crime scene. I thought it has to be secured, maybe 232 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: not the house, but the street where the shooting took place. 233 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: They I guess they left stuff behind that would be evidence. 234 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: It would lead the police to who did it. Well, 235 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: if that's true, you're supposed to see curate is supposed 236 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: to be a guard. They're a cop who's keeping watch 237 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: over you put up the yellow tape. And I couldn't 238 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: believe that. I couldn't believe they came back and burglarized 239 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: the place. The break in was reported at ten fifteen 240 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: am Saturday at this house on Ellison Street, according to 241 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: LAPD Public Information Officer Matthew Cruz. When officers arrived on 242 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: Saturday morning for a second time, the burglary suspects were gone. 243 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: I wonder who called it in. They contacted the owner, 244 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: who declined to pursue a complaint, which means he knows 245 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: what this is about. He knows these are a bunch 246 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: of bad guys who will hunt him down, so he's 247 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: not going to complain about stuff being stolen out of 248 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: his house. The property was rented by a guy named 249 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Brandon Carroll, also from Chicago, who's one of the four 250 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: people who was shot, and he's still in the hospital. 251 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: He was in critical condition as of Monday night. The 252 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: house was sold in twenty nineteen to a British music 253 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: manager based in London, and he bought the house along 254 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: with the partner for more than two million, which sounds 255 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: kind of low. For yeah, that is low. I would think, 256 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I want to hear this one. It's 257 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: it's it's the house friends of ours used to live in. 258 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: Oh years ago, when we lived there, there was this couple. 259 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: They had two boys about the same age as are 260 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: two boys, and they moved out about they moved out 261 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: like you did. Yeah, yeah, oh wow. Every day I 262 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: learned something that's amazingly close. Well, that's what we want 263 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: to talk to the uh, the Homeowners Association or what 264 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: they're calling the Benedict Canyon Association after one thirty, because 265 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: they put out yesterday that there's just too many of 266 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: these short term rentals in this neighborhood. And there's been 267 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: other incidents before. I don't know how many murders, because 268 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: this one got a lot of attention because this just 269 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: doesn't happen in this section of LA and that closet 270 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: to Beverly Hills. Yeah, they said there's been three murders 271 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: in the last two a half years in the general 272 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: Benedict Canyon area, Yeah, which I didn't know. Detectives are 273 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: hoping surveillance video captures the assailant or assailants. Has happened 274 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: between nine pm Friday and then the early hours of 275 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: Saturday is when the thirty shots were fired. But it 276 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: could be both sides. I mean, whatever the dispute was, 277 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: we could be looking for people from both sides, whether 278 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: the gang members or there's some other rap affiliation that 279 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: they had was at odds with the other one and 280 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: they were there too, threw up the party and make 281 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: sure it didn't succeed. Somebody didn't pay pay their drug bill. Yeah, 282 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, now the family's pretty sad. Apparently the 283 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Aspiring rappers father Keith Hutton, was speaking and he wrote 284 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: a tribute to his daughter. Another Woman was born and 285 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: raised in Chicago. Like I said, a lot of this 286 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: group seemed to have come here from Chicago, and I 287 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: guess they thought, well, you know, we got a brand 288 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: new rap album that's going to get released, let's celebrate. 289 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: Let's look online see if we can't find a rental, 290 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: and they honed in on this particular old John Covlt 291 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: neighborhood shots were fired. All right, So we're gonna talk 292 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: to David Cadlin, the president of the Benedict Canyon Association. Yeah, 293 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: he's coming on next he's actually the president part of 294 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: the executive committee, and they'll tell us more about the 295 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: story and the response in this neighborhood to a last 296 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: weekend's shooting that killed three people injured four. Johnny ken 297 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: KF I am six forty live everywhere the iHeart Radio out. 298 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: All right, we have a chance now to talk to him. 299 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: A board member the Benedict Canyon Association. Of course, they're 300 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: in the news because they're calling for a halt on 301 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: short term rentals. Last Friday night into Saturday morning, there 302 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: was a horrible shooting in the street outside a short 303 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: term rental in that neighborhood of Los Angeles, in which 304 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: three women lost their lives sitting inside a car. Four 305 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: other people wounded. Not a lot of other information coming 306 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: out except we think it was something to do with 307 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: an album release party that was being held at the 308 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: house and resulted in some sort of violence on the 309 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: street for a rap artist. Let's get David Catlanani's president 310 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: of the Benedict Canyon Association. David, how are you fine? 311 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: Thank you? How are you guys doing? We're fine. I 312 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: lived there for fourteen years. What the hell happened to 313 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: the neighborhood? Well, you know, there became some a loott 314 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: of development there with large houses, and people wanted to 315 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: have some party houses over there, which have problems with 316 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: the neighbors, loud music to all hours of the night 317 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: and then sometimes rarely fortunately, but sometimes culminating in the 318 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: tragic incident that happened last Saturday. Now I read there's 319 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: been three murders in the Benedict Canyon area in the 320 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: last two and a half years, all from rentals connected 321 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: to short term rentals, Is that true? That is true. 322 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: Actually one was on Mulholland in August of twenty twenty, 323 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: and one was actually about four blocks up the street 324 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: from where my wife and I live as well as 325 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: in August of twenty twenty. So unfortunately that does happen. 326 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: And I understand from the ones in twenty twenty those 327 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: were party houses. There were party there and there were 328 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: alleged gang members in there who were doing the shooting. 329 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: This current one, the police are investigating and all the 330 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: details have not yet come out, but they're thoroughly investigating, 331 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: and the Benedict Canyon Association has been enlisted to try 332 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: to get people who may have camera camera footage for it. 333 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: You know, that is an extraordinarily peaceful area. And I 334 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: really enjoyed living in that neighborhood, and you said it 335 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: was one of your favorite places, probably a favorite place 336 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: I ever lived about that and I remember your house 337 00:18:54,760 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: at Elmiro's Wonderment, and and so I know that. You know, 338 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: I've still have friends who live there, and they all 339 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: work really hard, they work long hours, and they've been 340 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: successful and they have nice homes. And to have now 341 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: murders in the street is just unfathomable. Now the city 342 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: can't put a stop to this. Well, they do enforce 343 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: party houses, and when the parties are sometimes in the 344 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: middle of the night till two to three in the morning, 345 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: neighbors call the police. The police come out, but then 346 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: sometimes the party house they get quiet, and then when 347 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: the police leave they may start again. They could get 348 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: fined as well. But the problem is that it's a 349 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: cost of doing business from the entrepreneurs who put these 350 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: events on, because they charge admission to some of these parties. 351 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: Some of them they do, they advertise them on social media. 352 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: They charge admission. People may come to one of these 353 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: things after priortying at a dance place or at a bar. 354 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: Others are to promote some products, some event, some service, 355 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: but those may not be charged for. But then the 356 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: impact of them is still the same. Could be hundreds 357 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: of cars around blocking the streets of making a problem 358 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: potentially for first responders, creating a fire danger too. John. 359 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: As you know, there's so much abundant foliage, plants and 360 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: trees and rush in the neighborhood that somebody carelessly tosses 361 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: a cigarette out, flicks a cigar, and then the whole 362 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: place could burn up and there could be a wild 363 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: fire there and when people come, they're unfamiliar with the neighborhood. 364 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: They don't realize that we are in an extreme high 365 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: fire density neighborhood. Yeah, and there are not a lot 366 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: of ways out of those neighborhoods. Has your association been 367 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: in touch with any of these homeowners that are doing 368 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: the short term rentals to try to talk him about 369 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: this situation. Well, the neighbors actually do. And then when 370 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: there's notification to the city attorney, the city attorney has 371 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: contact to them and explain what the law is. And 372 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But the problem is, 373 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: as I mentioned that it's a cost of doing business 374 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: if the promoter of the event just has to pay 375 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: a nominal sign. Yeah. Are there any movement to get 376 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: the city to stop these short term rental situations? Well, yes, Well, 377 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: the Benedict Canyon Association has consistently attended City Council meetings 378 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: with the Planning and Land Use Committee, with the City Council. 379 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: We've actually recently the last couple days written letters to 380 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: Mayor bass with hopefully she'll be able to put this 381 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: on her agenda as well, and to the City Council, 382 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: just pleading with them please take action to stop this, 383 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: not only for of course the rare but tragic shootings 384 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: that have occurred, but also the potential of life and 385 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: limb with the danger to fire in all the Santa 386 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: Monica Mountains. Yeah, this has really worked up I guess 387 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: people in your neighborhood. This particular shooting has gotten a 388 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: lot of attention. The other shootings you said, murders, we don't. 389 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: I didn't hear much about. Sure, sure, well they were 390 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: in the media, but they have not been very very 391 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: vocal for whatever reason. And after each one of those, 392 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: we the Benedict Canyon Association have contacted our elected officials 393 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: and try to rein in and actually stop all short 394 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: term rentials mentals. You know, we understand the city generates 395 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: and revenue if they can license or permit legitimate non 396 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: party house mentals, but unfortunately the ones that have these 397 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: large events kind of flips through the cracks, and we 398 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: don't think that any short term rentals should be allowed 399 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: in any of the canyons because of the fire dangers 400 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: and sometimes these other tragic events happen as well. So 401 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: if somebody wants to have a short term rental situation 402 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: with their house. They get a permit and they pay 403 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: the city a fee. Technically they're supposed to. Whether everybody 404 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: does that, they do not do so because the enforcement 405 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: is very difficult. But you know, if if it's a 406 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: mom and pop or somebody who wants to do so 407 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: on a longer term to rent out their place, certainly 408 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: people have the right to do so, but not to 409 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: have commercial events there because these party houses are in 410 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: fact commercial events and are not legal in this one 411 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: hundred percent residential neighborhood. Now you're debtted to Canyon Association. 412 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: What is Beverly Crest. That's not Beverly Crest. No, the 413 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: city calls it generally Beverly Crest, the area in the 414 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 1: Santa Monica Mountains, which includes Benedict Canyon, in Coldwater Canyon, 415 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: in Beverly, Beverly Glen. So we're actually Benedict Canyon and 416 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: we're a canyon separate from is you know, John from 417 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: Coldwater and Beverly Clenn. But they just kind of lump 418 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: it together as Beverly because Beverly Crest is to the east, 419 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: or it's Coldwater Canyon. Yes, correct, Well, Beverly Crest, it 420 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: is a gated community for the east by Sepulvida, right, 421 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with us, but they just kind of, 422 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, have called this whole area here Beverly Crest. 423 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,479 Speaker 1: I never David, thank you so much for talking to us. 424 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: We appreciate David.

Yeah, yeah, if the mansion murder happened, 430 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: not far from nineteen sixty nine, but right, but it was. 431 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: It's in the same general area. I thought, I remember, Duse, 432 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: that's where it was always ingrained in my head from history. Yeah. 433 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: Was it was connected to the Manson was probably two 434 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: minute drive from my house because I drove on that 435 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: block once. Well, didn't you see it's not a new 436 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: problem with people being murdered. Oh no, it goes back 437 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: fifty years.

Well, somebody turned 447 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: governor Dippity do loose today. Here's the thing. They're trying 448 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: to get another bill pass for un control Sacramento. This 449 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: deals with concealed weapons. And I'm like, I don't recall 450 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: how many times they've arrested somebody in a big crime, 451 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: whether it's a shootout or burglary, that they had a 452 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: concealed weapon, primit. I don't really know if that happens. No, 453 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with the round of murders. 454 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: We've had nothing at all. They it's it's just they 455 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: jump on whatever the hot button news there to beat 456 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: their old dead horse one more time. And they seem 457 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: to believe the philosophies. We just don't want guns in society, 458 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: So whatever we can do to limit guns they concealed weapon. 459 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: People are like, I want that in case I am 460 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: involved in like the Monterey Park story. Oh yeah, No, 461 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: if you're comfortable with a gun, you absolutely should have 462 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: it to defend yourself. Since these guys, right, they're shown 463 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: up on mushroom farms, they're shown up in quiet neighborhoods, 464 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: dance halls. I mean, yeah, normal people have to be armed, 465 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: but we're just supposed to sit and take it. Yeah, 466 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: get very grateful. I don't have a gun, but if somebody, 467 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: like in a grocery store or something was there and 468 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: pulled out their concealed weapon to fight back against the shooter, 469 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: I'd have to be very happy. The thing is, the 470 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: Supreme Court has banned concealed weapons bands. Yeah, they they 471 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: banned a band. Well, they found it too limiting. The 472 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: way the way most jurisdictions carry it out, they really 473 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: make you go through the hoops. They don't They don't 474 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: issue a lot of permits, right right, But now, remember 475 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: sheriff in a waver was ready to issue a whole bunch. 476 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: He was excited to I don't know whatever, you got 477 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: that done before? He come? Yeah, So the spark said, 478 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: you just can't do blanket bands of concealed weapons, right, 479 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: and so what what they're trying to do in Sacramentos 480 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: just make it more restrictive. We will issue concealed weapon. 481 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: But here's all the new rule. You got to take 482 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: sixteen hours of classes, you got to do an interview 483 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: with the sheriffs, and you can't have it in certain places, 484 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: is what they're putting right, Bill. Yeah, we're actually going 485 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: to talk to a Republican assembly member coming up after 486 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: a two o'clock because they there's still a few of 487 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: them left in Sacramento held their own little news conference 488 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: to say gun control. No, they're about crime control. You 489 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: like that crime control. They have passed one hundred plus 490 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: gun control measures, over a hundred and as you can see, 491 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't stop anything, not in the state. No, No, 492 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: and now we're like ground zero for the latest mass shooting. 493 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: So we you know, it's like, okay, try it your 494 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: way pass you know, one, two, ten, twenty, fifty, seventy 495 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: eighty ninety, one hundred. You haven't stopped anything. Maybe they 496 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: don't work all right, So stay tuned. After two o'clock 497 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: we'll talk to an assembly member Republican. Oh and also 498 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: we gotta gotta do an update on the Tesla road rage. Suspect. Oh, man, 499 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: this is a piece of work. Wow, and we have 500 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: to rename it. It is roid rage. Yeah. Apparently he 501 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: was dealing in steroids. John was wondering what was going 502 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: on with it. He said the other day there's got 503 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: to be some drug component involved, and so I think 504 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: he loads up on steroids and then he was driving around. Now, 505 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: one of the most incredible stories to come from the 506 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: world of reparations in the last few months came out 507 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: of San Francisco, where there was apparently a draft plan 508 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: for black residents in that city to get five million 509 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: dollars in reparations. Well, there's a supervisor by the name 510 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: of Shaman Walton who went on the record to say 511 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: that's not enough. While most people's jaws dropped at the figure, 512 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: Shaman says, no, that is just a beginning. It's much 513 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: less than a lot of projections that people say black 514 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: people should receive for reparations here in the United States. 515 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: He goes, you can google reparations work that's been done, 516 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: look at monetary formulas that people to put together, and 517 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: five millions a very minuscule amount. Although to put that number. 518 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: In perspective, if every black resident in San Francisco qualified 519 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: for the five million, the city will be on the 520 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: hook for two hundred and twenty three billion. That's two 521 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three thousand dollars for every non black 522 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: person in San Francisco, right, so every non black person 523 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: would have to cough up over a quarter of a 524 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: million dollars. That's correct, orf And that's if the five 525 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: millions what they come up with. And this guy thinks 526 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: it's not enough. No, he's adamant. Did he attend math class? 527 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: Because I think the state one, right, there's a state 528 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: reparations committee, was much less than five millions. But this 529 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: story got headlines because of the five million figure. The 530 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: median income in San Francisco is ninety seven thousand dollars, 531 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: So how you is supposed to come up with two 532 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three thousand when you only make ninety 533 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: seven a year and that's the median. Not gonna happen 534 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: half make less. He added that white people today may 535 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: argue they never owned slaves, but wealth was transferred to 536 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: generations of people who are ancestors of people who participated 537 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: in slaves. That's not true. My family came from Poland. See, 538 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: then you get to have an exception to I better 539 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: get an exception. I better do my family tree works. 540 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: I don't think we had anybody that don't slaves anywhere 541 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: down the line. I don't know. My dad was a 542 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: slave for four years there. The Germans captured them. They 543 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: made him work, yes, and a farm. It was forced 544 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: slaver on a farm. Potatoes, Yes it was. It was potatoes. Yeah, 545 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: he was forced to work on a potato farm in Germany. 546 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: They don't, he says. So they were direct benefits of slavery, 547 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: which is why people who look like me you haven't 548 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: had the chance to achieve the same level of generational wealth. 549 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: That has led to gaps that exist for black folks 550 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: here in San Francisco, And of course, he adds across 551 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: the country. All you're gonna do is drive out everybody 552 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: out of San Francisco. Nobody's going to stick around and 553 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: pay that quarter million dollars reparations tax. And they still 554 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: have to figure out the requirements because there's always been 555 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: this debate as to whether or not you have to 556 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: prove that your ancestry traces back to slavery or oh no, proof. 557 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: Just ask for it and you get it. It could 558 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: be the case, all right. When we return two o'clock hour, 559 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: we'll be talking to an assembly member Republican who says 560 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 1: he was part of a press conference the other day 561 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: about public safety in California, crime control in California, not 562 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: gun control, that you're chants for a thousand dollars and 563 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: other keywords around the corner, Johnny ken kf I am 564 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: six forty.
