Or is it cuels? Oh, it's probably 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: the stupid spell correct.

Sheila Cuell is the county supervisor. 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: She played a major role in shutting down La County 21 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: for the last two and a half years the businesses. 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: Primary example, she was behind that horrible shutdown of outdoor 23 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: dining during the holidays in twenty twenty, and she's she's 24 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: just an awful person. But there was a scandal bubbling 25 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: under the surface, which we discussed some at the time 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: that it first broke, but nothing came of it until 27 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: today and until today, And of course the big story 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: is that a search warrant was served at her home 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: in Santa Monica. Was also served on a nonprofit run 30 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: by a woman named Patty Giggins, who happens to be 31 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: a member of the La County Sheriff's Civilian Oversight Commission. 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: But the nonprofit is really what this is about, and 33 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: it is called Peace Over Violence. It's run by Sheila 34 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: Ul's best friend in the whole world, Patty Higgins. And 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: it looks as if they got a series of contracts 36 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: for hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up a 37 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: sexual harassment hot line for La Metro, which hardly got 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: any calls. In fact, the claim is the calls that 39 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: did come in cost the taxpayer about eight thousand dollars 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: per call. We did the story. Fox eleven discovered this 41 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: and did an expose on it a while back, and 42 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: that's when we first learned about this. I knew there 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: was a hotline, but I did not know anything about 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: peace over Violence. I did not know anything about Sheila 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: Kuler Patty Higgins. But the big headline the story was 46 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: a hotline was set up, money was paid out for 47 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: the contract. Nobody really called it, so we looked suspicious. Yes, 48 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: and we have Corbin Carson on now from KFI News 49 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 1: and he's gonna give us as the background on this. 50 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: Tell us, tell us about the search this morning. What 51 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: were the circumstances. Yeah, let me let me break the 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: simplest way to start this is two sides. Obviously, the 53 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: Sheriff's department says this is all about public corruption, which 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: you guys were just talking about. Supervisor kuel Side said, 55 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: this is all about retaliation for being critical. Let's start 56 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: with kuel Side. She says this morning she was awakened 57 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: and she told me by a banging on the door 58 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: about seven this morning. I throw on some clothes, I 59 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: go down open the door. More than a dozen clanking 60 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: sheriff's deputies with all of their vests and their weapons 61 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: and dressed like for you know, a drug raid. This 62 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: is all totally bogus. It's about a contract that this 63 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: nonprofit gut that I had nothing to do with. We 64 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: didn't vote on it on the metro board. I didn't 65 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: know anything about it. I've been friends with the head 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: of Peace Over Violence. That's it. So now my house 67 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: gets raided. It's outrageous, and I think the sheriff is 68 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: trying to divert attention from his failing campaign and certainly 69 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: his failed services as sheriff. So basically she's saying the 70 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: timing of this, as you guys alluded, this has been 71 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: going on for some time. She says, it's an eight 72 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: year old contract that you heard her say she has 73 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: no knowledge of, didn't vote on. But let's go onto 74 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: the other side. I got to look at the warrant 75 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: today and you know it talks about between the years 76 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: of twenty fourteen and twenty twenty twenty, there was a 77 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: series of soul source contracts that were awarded to by 78 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: the MTA to this to this nonprofit that is run 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: by Patty Higgins. No, yeah, no bid contracts. We have 80 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: to point out right, no competitive no competition, right, and 81 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: they got over eight hundred and ninety thousand dollars, and like, 82 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: like you just mentioned, it is non competitive only between 83 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: the two and that's kind of where this lies. Is 84 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: there a buddy buddy a situation going on. The affidatsvid 85 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: sites allegations by the former Metro employee who, in fairness, 86 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: Quel says, was let go she's a disgrunt or that 87 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: employee is a disgruntled employee. But according to the Affidavid, 88 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: that witness claims the former Metro Metro CEO pushed for 89 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: these contracts to peace over the violence, that's the nonprofit, 90 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: to remain in good graces with supervisor she Lakuele, and 91 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: that the witness says they were pointing out building irregul 92 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: irregularities involving the nonprofit to Washington and that who ordered 93 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: her to pay bills because he did not want to 94 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: upset any of Supervisor Uel's friends. And then you guys 95 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: also mentioned that Fox eleven investigation, which which is cited 96 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: in the warrant and the affidavit that accompanies it, that 97 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: there was an the sex harassment hotline was costing taxpayers 98 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: more than eight thousand dollars per phone call and then 99 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: then the station also said that the line was claimed 100 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: to have received thirteen hundred calls between twenty seventeen and 101 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, but very few of them turned out to 102 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: be legitimate, and the vast majority were hang ups, tests 103 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: or not applicable for what the line's purposes. At least 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: as it was stated, they counted every telemarker to everybody 105 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: who dialed the wrong number as a sexual harassment call 106 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: on the one of the important things, because she'lla kill boy, 107 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: she's really a master it. Trying to get ahead of 108 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: the story. Says, well, it's something I didn't vote on. Well, 109 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: the reason there's a reason she didn't vote on these contracts. 110 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: The largest contract was for four hundred and ninety four 111 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Interesting number. That's exactly six thousand dollars short 112 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: of the amount that require the supervisors supers vote yes. 113 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: So they conveniently came up with four hundred ninety four thousand, 114 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: and that exempted the entire board of supervisors from voting 115 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: on it, and that a time, go ahead, Go ahead. 116 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say at the time, the nonprofit says, 117 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: in relation to those in relation to those inflated call numbers. 118 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: They say, they don't do that. They count are accurately 119 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: the calls, which I would expect you're supposed to say, 120 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: and according to their contract, all calls coming into the 121 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: hot line are legitimate, and that they can't put a 122 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: price tag on serving a survivor of violence. And then 123 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: again remember that price tag was eight thousand four. Yes, 124 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: you can't do her call. You can't. You can't spend 125 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars if you're only getting a 126 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: handful of calls. And then you got to find a 127 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: better way to help those people. There's other phone numbers 128 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: available if you want to report sexual harassment. That's not 129 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: the only phone number in existence. So the person that's 130 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: supposed to be behind this is is a Metro employee 131 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: by the name of Jennifer Lowe. That's what we understand 132 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: from the stories written about this. It isn't as if 133 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: FE and a way of this department made up this case. 134 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: It came from this former Metro employee who actually settled 135 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: a lawsuit against Metro claiming she was retaliated against for 136 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: her complaints about misconduct at the agency. So just to 137 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: clarify where this story supposedly came from. It is a 138 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: whistleblower within Metro formerly who had million dollars too right, 139 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: and Lowa also alleged that Keel had steered these no 140 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: bid contracts to Ghiggins and Piece of over Violence, and 141 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: that she was not formally identified in the search warrant, 142 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: but that she cited as an unnamed witness who raised 143 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: the allegations. But again, let me go back to she 144 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: lakill just to be fair real quick on more on 145 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: why she thinks don't be fair. I have a question, 146 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: why do we have to be fair with somebody who's lying. Well, 147 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: he's the news guy. He wants to be fair. Well, 148 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm one of those news guys who's not on either 149 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: side here. What do you have? I think the Sheriff's 150 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: threat last year to do this to the nonprofit that 151 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: was part of that contract tips it off as retaliation 152 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: because the head of that nonprofit was the head of 153 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: the oversight commission for the Sheriff's department and she had 154 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: been very critical of him, and boom, he's gonna going 155 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: to search her office. I have been very clear, though 156 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: I try not to be nasty, that the sheriff is 157 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: ill qualified, has not done his job, has overrun his budget, 158 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: is not really able to control his department. Right, goes 159 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: on about the guy. Right, you know what. She's also 160 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: ignoring that he cleaned up some of the biggest homeless 161 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: camps in her district with his lead ship, and she 162 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: let them fester and spread. We had we had on 163 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: the West Side and Venice and samacin Day Boulevard is 164 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: two big examples terrible homeless conditions that went on for 165 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: years and years, and then he came in and cleaned 166 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: it up and embarrassed her because she doesn't do her job. 167 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: Now sheriff is saying he had nothing to do with 168 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: his investigation, he recused himself from it, that this is 169 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: part of something correct said. This is from the right 170 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: in the Sheriff's public corruption unit were the ones that 171 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: executed the offices of the warrant. Because he would You 172 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: would imagine that if something is being done on this 173 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: sort of a public scale, there's going to be a 174 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: lot of scrutiny into how this went down. So it 175 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: makes sense that he would he would he would come 176 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: out and say that he recused himself from this. It 177 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: was an entirely different investigate. What's funny though, is qu 178 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: was telling me some of the things they took in 179 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: addition to her, and this is on the warrant to 180 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: what they were looking for, the phones, the computers, any 181 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: communication between these parties, between the friends, between the nonprofit, 182 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: et cetera. They also took her CDs of her TV shows, 183 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: of old TV shows from decades ago, and she was 184 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: she was pretty hot about that. And how can they 185 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: had federal agent? Why were their federal agents participating in 186 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: the raid? Well, they said that the the the Affidavid, 187 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, is that they were moving that 188 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: they're passing all this information and the investigation is being 189 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: not passing it on, but sharing it with the with 190 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: the Feds, who may also either take over or be 191 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: taking part in the investigation. So that's another piece that 192 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: will probably come out in the days and weeks to 193 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: come as to how far this thing goes. Alli Corbyn, 194 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: thank you very much for the report. Good right right there, 195 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: just seeing Carson listening to Sheila Quel Babbel outside her home. 196 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: Apparently she's barefoot because her home got searched at seven am. 197 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: And so did Patty see Patty Higgins picture. I thought 198 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: it was Elton John. I thought it was. I thought 199 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: it was Billy gene King. Actually when I looked at it, 200 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 1: see that picture of her. Yeah, the woman that runs 201 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: the nonprofit. They're good friends. Also, supposedly Higgins has given 202 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: money to campaigns. Sheila kill married Ghiggins and ghiggins wife. Yeah. 203 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: Kiell has called Ghiggins, Oh you mean she she was 204 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: the efficiant. Yes, it's about okay. When you said married, 205 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: I thought you're like, oh, it was like three no, no, no, no. 206 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: She was acting as a marriage official and said has 207 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: said publicly that Higgins is her best friend in the 208 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: whole world. So her best friend in the whole world. 209 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: As an organization that got eight hundred and sixteen thousand 210 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: dollars of county contracts, no bid well the biggest contract 211 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars short of the amount that would be 212 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: required for the supervisors to vote on, and performed almost 213 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: zero service. It was almost no use to her sexual 214 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: harrasspen hotline because I guess nobody was aware of the number. 215 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: Anybody ever called it. Yeah, you have to kind of 216 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: advertise a number. Okay, we're going to have the sheriff 217 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: on at three or five. I don't know how much 218 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: he can say, but he's agreed to talk to us 219 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: about this big story. More coming up, John and Ken Cafi. 220 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: All right, so big story here this morning was the 221 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: raid by the La County Sheriff's Department, an investigative unit 222 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: at the home of the La County supervisor she'll accule, who, 223 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: by the way, is done this year. She is not 224 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: running for reelection. But it deals with a nonprofit called 225 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: Peace Over Violence, which is headed by a very close friend, 226 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: really close friend, if she'll accull's name, Patty Higgins. And 227 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: this Metro sexual harassment violence hotline that was set up 228 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: years ago. It began in twenty seventeen and Giggins Organization 229 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: got the contract to operate the hot line, and then 230 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: Fox eleventh at an expose that it got very few calls. 231 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: In fact, it's laid out in the search warrant. It 232 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: says that it appeared to show more than thirteen hundred 233 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: calls to the hotline since twenty seventeen. But when they 234 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: look closer, as John mentioned, they were just logging at 235 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: every time the phone even rang a lot of more 236 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: hang ups, wrong numbers tests, dollar marketers. For example, in 237 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: October twenty nineteen, La Metro reported that the hot line 238 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: served twenty seven people for the month, but the true 239 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: call logs show that nineteen of those calls were hang ups. 240 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: Are wrong numbers, so only eight of the reported twenty 241 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: nine calls were actually legitimate calls to the hot line. 242 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: And you can put a price on a sexual harassment victim, 243 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: because there's no way we ought to be paying eight 244 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a call. Eight thousand, four hundred and fifty 245 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: bucks a call was one calculation for a particular month 246 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: of August to twe people blowing our tax money care 247 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: about that sort of thing. By the way, Patricia Ghiggins 248 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: and many of the people who work for her also 249 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: have donated thousands and thousands of dollars to Sheila Kule's campaign. 250 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: So Quell was providing a consci track worth hundreds of 251 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to Giggins, and Giggins and her fellow 252 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: workers were providing thousands of dollars in contributions. You see 253 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: how the whole game works. Here's one of the key parts, 254 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: and again this comes from Jennifer Lowe, who is the 255 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: former employee. She said there was no legitimate reason for 256 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Metro to outsource this sexual harassment service to Peace Over Violence, 257 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: that is the nonprofit that Giggins runs and again another 258 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: corrupt nonprofit. This was a no bid contract pushed forward 259 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: by the CEO, Philip Washington, in order to quote remain 260 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: in good graces with Sheila cull Cuell is not only 261 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: an Alley County supervisor, she's one of fourteen members of 262 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: the MTA Board of Directors, basically Washington's boss. She is 263 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: a direct supervisor over Washington. Although the program was a 264 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: complete failure, the contract has extended for three additional years 265 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: without a competitive bid. Jennifer Lowe was a project manager 266 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: at the time and noticed a seventy five thousand dollars 267 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: bill from Peace Over Violence come across her desk. Having 268 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: knowledge that no official contract or agreement had been authorized, 269 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: she confronted Philip Washington, the Metro CEO, about the bill. 270 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: She says Washington ordered her to pay the bill, saying, 271 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: I'd rather not upset any of Sheila Kuel's friends. He 272 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: did not dispute the veracity of the bill with Kuel, 273 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: he just said, well, let's pay it, and by friends, 274 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lowe thought that he was referring to Patricia Giggins. 275 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: The witness further stated that Philip Washington told her directly 276 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: he would rather pay the seventy five thousand dollars so 277 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: later on he could use that to his advantage when 278 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: he needed a political favor from Sheia La Kuel. Patricia 279 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: Ghiggins is part of this civilian oversight commission that was 280 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: set up by the Board of Supervisors. I think it 281 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: was a ballot measure that we told people to vote 282 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: no on, but it got to prove this is their 283 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: way of trying to get rid of you in a way, 284 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: or at least keep a close eye on them. Ghiggins 285 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: got on that commission because of Kuel, So you can 286 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: see all the relationships between the two here that go 287 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: back and forth. Now from the opposite universe, the Al 288 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: Segundo Times wants to report that the leader investigator on 289 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: this case, the Sheriff's Public Correction Public Corruption Unit, is 290 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: a Mark Lillifield, a retired homicide investigator who had a 291 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: decades long relationship with the judge who approved the warrants. 292 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: In fact, they claimed there was an internal inquiry as 293 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: to other than that Lilifield was trying to help the 294 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: judge get out of some legal trouble a few years ago. 295 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: So both sides are claiming a partisanship in sestuous relationships. 296 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: Is what's led to this confrontation between the bottom line 297 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: is did this happen? Did this patrician? If the hotline 298 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: was a flop? Is that corruption? Why would you give 299 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: all those no bid contracts out for eight hundred thousand 300 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: dollars and then it was a flop and they wanted 301 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: to extend it another three years and somebody should have 302 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: called that out. Why is that four hundred and ninety 303 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars the price tag when five hundred thousand 304 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: triggers a vote? And why is Philip Washington afraid to 305 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: question one of the bills because he doesn't want to 306 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: piss Sheila Kuele off? Or then, as you said later, 307 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: he wants to hold onto a payment till he has 308 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: something to hold over her. Is that's a more ominous quote? Yeah, 309 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: this is all corruption. Now you have to get a 310 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: judge to sign off it. And also it looks like 311 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: the FEDS are interested too, where they wouldn't have sent 312 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: their agents over to help out because you notice who's 313 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: missing in this story, George Gascone. This is something the 314 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: Ella County District Attorney should be investigating and considering charges. 315 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: He supposedly said he wanted nothing to do with us 316 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: in Vienna. Wava had asked him some time ago to 317 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: they can cooperate together on these types of investigations, and 318 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: he apparently said, I don't want to get involved in 319 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: this political stuff, right because he's he's Sheila Kiel's friend, 320 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: so he's not going to because Gascone is corrupt too, 321 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: so he's not going to investigate Kuele. And so what 322 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: v in a Waved did, which is I think what 323 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: he did with one of the police shootings is he's 324 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: going outside of Gascone because gas Gascon is so dishonest 325 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: and he's appealing to the FEDS. Your challenge, if you 326 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: choose to accept it, is this, let's go. Let's go 327 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: show up on day one. Work out with us for 328 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Feel good right away, yo, her pete five 329 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: days a week for three weeks.

And of course it's about the search warrant 365 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: that was served by his department in an investigative unit 366 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: of his department, of which he said that he had 367 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: recused himself from the investigation, and involves La County Supervisor 368 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: Sheila cull In, a non profit run by a very 369 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: long time close friend to hers, and the hot line 370 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: set up at Metro for sex harassment calls It's Back 371 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: when you because writership really dropped off with It's Back 372 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen when one out of I 373 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: think every five writers complained about sexual harassment of sexual abuse. 374 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: So you know, so we want to have a hotline 375 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: so people can't report this. Nobody called because you only 376 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: have mental patients drug addicts taking the trains in the buses, 377 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: so of course you're going to get a lot of 378 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: sexual harassment. Probably a lot of these guys had sexual 379 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: perversion criminal records. They're back sen The calls were probably 380 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: down in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one because no 381 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: one was riding the Metro, but the home was in 382 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: the eight hundred and sixteen thousand dollars. Yeah, nobody called 383 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: it into question because maybe it was a favorite as 384 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: Shila Kielle's friend. How many of these exist? How many 385 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: of these corrupt programs tucked away in corners, passed without 386 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: any publicity, asked without votes at their prices are carefully 387 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: calibrated so not to trigger a vote. How many? I 388 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: would assume all the city council people and all the 389 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: supervisors had these programs and it benefits their buddies, and 390 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: then their buddies funnel campaign contributions back to them. The 391 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: virtuous circle. What don't know. J used to call it 392 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: the circle of benevolence. Yeah, yeah, that's what this is, 393 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: all right, So we will be talking to the sheriff 394 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: after the news at three o'clock, fentnyl strikes again. You 395 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: may have heard the news LAPDS investigating four potential fentnyl overdoses. 396 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: A teenage girl dive at a parent overdose at Hollywood's 397 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: Bernstein High School yesterday, the police got a call to 398 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: come to the high school for an overdose investigation. A 399 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: parent found his missing step daughter at the school, suffering 400 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: from an overdose but alive. But she then pointed out 401 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: that her friend was in the bathroom. They found that 402 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: girl unresponsive and she died. And the last time we 403 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: talked about fentanyl. And this is important to understand because 404 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: this is the state of California, particularly in Sacramento. They 405 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: don't want to send anybody to jail or prison anymore, 406 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: and if they do, they don't want him to go 407 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: there for very long. So there were a series of bills, 408 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: and I think the Inland Empire or state Senator Melissa 409 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Melendez was chief and pushing one of them. She wanted 410 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: to go after By the way, the girls thought they 411 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: were getting percocet. I got to be clear about that first. 412 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: It's not good. But they went to a nearby park 413 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: called Lexington Park looking to buy percocet with fentanyl. Yeah, 414 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: it's an opioid paint killer that gives you high. Right. 415 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: We've run into this story before. We talked to a 416 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: man whose daughter did the same thing. She was looking 417 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 1: I think it was oxycodone and it was laced with fentanyl, 418 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: and she died. So the bill by Melissa Melendez was 419 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: an attempt to go after the people that sell these 420 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: drugs when they're laced with fentanyl. I think the first 421 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: time they're given the warning, she said, it's like drunk driving, right, 422 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: But the next time we're coming after you, perhaps from murder. 423 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: The bill died, I think it died like twice, maybe 424 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: three times. She gets pushing it, and the Democrats that 425 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: run the Public Safety Committee say, no, no, the prisons 426 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: are too full. We will not do this. I mean 427 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: that's so, that's it. That's their agenda. No more people 428 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: in the prisons of the jail. So teenage kids, high 429 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: school kids die, they die because these consequences are little 430 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: for the person that sold the pills. Right, Well, but 431 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: do you think you're gonna get You're gonna get more 432 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: dead teenagers. And in any other world they'd be spending 433 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: enormous amounts of money stopping the Fentinel trade, and they'd 434 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: be throwing all the guys who were manufacturing and distributing 435 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: selling Fentinel in prison for a long time. That's what 436 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: a normal society does. Our society, let's the Fentinel delivery 437 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: system run a muck. They're making billions off at the 438 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: Mexican drug cartels, and you have teenagers dying. That's our 439 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: value system here, you know. That's why we want to 440 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: hear politicians talking about our value system or car values. 441 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: My head explodes. So you have no car values. You're 442 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: just letting you're just letting your kids die, and you 443 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: don't care. Stupid any more prisoners. Well, great, so we 444 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: get more dead kids. There's your choice. Nice work. He 445 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: keep voting for these people. It's working out really well. 446 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: Fentnil is a highly potent opiate substance intended to be 447 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: used as a pain reliever. In fact, in the story 448 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm looking at, it's the way that some people can 449 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: have same day outpatient surgery or a colonoscopy and go 450 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: home and feel okay. It's fast acting, it's strong, it 451 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: can bring immediate pain relief, but clearly it is very dangerous. 452 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: You can only have an extremely tiny amount. It takes 453 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: very little to kill you. That's the danger in it. 454 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: It's not like ordinary pain killers or an ordinary anesthetics. 455 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: This is just a little a little bit of fentanyl 456 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: dust and you're gone. Yeah, this story makes it sound 457 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: like sometimes it just happens sort of by accident, because 458 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: it's a powdery, white pottery substance, and it often gets 459 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: mixed in with cocaino or heroin when they're putting together 460 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: there there. Yeah, what they call their underground drug You 461 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: think infectoring, You think they have quality control in those 462 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: drug trailers in Mexico. They're making sure there's no impurities 463 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: in the mix. Yeah. I also thought they were doing 464 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: it because it's so addictive and you get such a 465 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: big high. They figured, you know, you'll come back for 466 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: more if you survive it. That too, but they don't 467 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: really care if you die. It doesn't matter to them 468 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: because there's an insatiable market for this stuff. There are 469 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,239 Speaker 1: so many people that are that are taking fentanyl as 470 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: well as all the other drugs that they're just they're 471 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: producing pills in hundreds of locations, thousands, probably all over 472 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: Mexico all day and night. Packaging them getting them over 473 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: the border. Nobody's stopping it, and it's cheap to sell. 474 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: They make their money on volume. The fentnail pills himself 475 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: are very cheap. That's why high school kids can buy them. Yeah, 476 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: there were two additional potential overdoses of teenagers near the 477 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: same park were eventually they found this girl and then 478 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: her friend who passed away and the overdose in the bathroom. 479 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: So but there's just no interest in Sacramento or clamping 480 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: down on this kind of dealing now because they're they're 481 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're psycho up in Sacramento. Honestly, they 482 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: are psycho, completely sociopathic. They have no empathy at all 483 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: for the parents now and the family members and friends 484 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: who are going to suffer for the rest of their 485 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: lives because of the deaths of these kids. It doesn't 486 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: bother the whole Sacramento legislative crowd at all. I think 487 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: it bothers Gavin Newsom, No, it doesn't. All right, we're 488 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: coming out, Johnny Ken. We're gonna have Sheriff Alex Vieneueva 489 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: on the Alee County Sheriff because today this morning there 490 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: was a big raid at the home of county supervisor 491 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: Sheila Kuel, involving a county contract that went to one 492 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: of her closest friends. And now we've gotten a copy 493 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: of a letter of Vienneueva has sent the Attorney General 494 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: Rob Bonta saying that Kuel was informed of the search 495 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: the night before and that's also a violation of the 496 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: Felony Penal Code and the Government Code. And he names 497 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: names as to who tipped Quel off, and he's written 498 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: a letter to Rob Bonta to investigate this and bring charges. Well, 499 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: that kind of hurts the purpose of the search. Ward 500 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: if people know the night before, they can start throwing 501 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: stuff out or shredding, hiding stuff. Right. I heard Actually 502 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: you know she doesn't. She lives probably a couple of 503 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: miles from me. I heard a grinding, shredding noise in 504 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: the middle of the night last night. But paper documents, 505 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: they oh, yeah, sure, no, you have to destroy the cloud. 506 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: You gotta go up there. And I heard that too. 507 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: I heard the cloud getting type that cloud down with 508 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: all the digital stuff stored up there. Vacuum sound last 509 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: night woke me up. Yeah, so I guess that's another 510 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: aspect of this. We don't know how much the sheriff 511 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: can talk about the investigation. As we mentioned, he recused 512 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: himself from it. It was done by an investigative unit 513 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: within the Sheriff's department. The old under sheriff over that turn, right, 514 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: wasn't that? Bacca's under sheriff Will also got in legal trouble. 515 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: Was a little guy. Yeah, he was kind of short. 516 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: I remember him. Ended up in prison. Gave it to 517 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: the studio, Yes, I remember. That was infamous. That's when 518 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: we first learned about the the under sheriff. So we'll 519 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: be talking to Sheriff V coming up after the news 520 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: at three o'clock. The San Francisco Chronicle has something called 521 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: SF Next, and they did a survey of one thousand, 522 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty three San Francisco residents between June 523 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: twenty seventh and July eleventh of this year. You could 524 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: guess because they asked them questions on a whole lot 525 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: of things, But the one we're focusing on is their 526 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: plans where San Francisco say they are likely to be 527 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: living three years from now. And the category that really 528 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: popped out here are eighteen to thirty four year olds. 529 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: Fifty four percent of them say they will not be 530 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. They will be gone. In fact, that 531 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: was the theme. As it turned out, overall, thirty seven 532 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: percent say they will not be in that city in 533 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: just three years. Why oh, homelessness and crime. You could 534 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: only imagine that. I mean, here's a place that has suffered, 535 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: probably even worse than Los Angeles. It's a smaller city, 536 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: but it really compacts its problems with the open drug 537 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: use and the homelessness and the crime. And they actually, 538 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, recalled their da they recalled three school board 539 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: members over an issue. They're at least doing something there, 540 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: and now they're telling posters that they are really fed up. 541 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: In fact, that's what one m respondent said. I remember 542 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: the hippie generation. It was all about to take care 543 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: of your friends, brotherly love. That is totally gone. You 544 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: have to understand also, what you're reading in the quotes 545 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: from the people who answered this survey. They still are 546 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: very far left progressive people. So they're they're sort of 547 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: all over the place and trying to understand why this 548 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: has happened. They're blaming racism a lot. They're just blaming 549 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: housing affordability that terrible costs so much here. They should 550 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: blame themselves. This is human nature. Is endlessly fascinating to me. 551 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: Nobody admits, you know what, I have a bad philosophy 552 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: that leads me to vote for the wrong people who 553 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: do a bad job. It is my fault. It is 554 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: our fault. Everybody in the neighborhood, everybody in the city 555 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: who votes for the people in power. This is the 556 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: people in power. They're not mandated by a king or 557 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: a dictator. They're not forced on you. You choose them, 558 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: You freely go once a year, maybe more, and you say, 559 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: I want this person to set the laws and the policies, 560 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 1: so they're doing what you want. You pick them, and 561 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: then you stand there going it really does Scots think. 562 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I'm getting out of here. It's you. 563 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: You're the problem. The homeless guy isn't the problem. You're 564 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: the problem because you're elected. The politicians who allow the 565 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: homeless guy to defecate on your front law your fault. 566 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: You allow the attict to shoot up in your alleyway. Yeah, 567 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: and nobody wants to take responsible. I'm leaving now. I'm 568 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: just sick of this. I mean, classic toddler behavior, that's 569 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: what it is. I don't like this anymore. But they 570 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,719 Speaker 1: recalled the DA and they recalled three school board members. 571 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: They did take some kind of action versus the lumps 572 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: here in LA. Yeah, well, they got they got it. 573 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: They got to clean out the mayor and they got 574 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: to clean out their supervisors. And they have to force 575 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: those people to make new laws and get rid of 576 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: the homeless, make it illegal to camp in public. Period. 577 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: Can't do it. A political consultant that says he has 578 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: never seen voters more upset and angry in San Francisco 579 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: than they've been over the last two years. It's it 580 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: is such a filthy sewer. It is so so disgusting. 581 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: There's a companion article here. Twelve percent of those eighteen 582 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: and older, I think the supervisors have done a good 583 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: or excellent job. Twelve percent right, So, I don't know 584 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: who's on the ballot in November, but it seems like 585 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: everybody ought to be flushed. And forty eight percent says 586 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: the board has done a poor or very poor job 587 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: of making the city a better place. Eleven percent think 588 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: the board has done and excellent or good job. Okay, wow, 589 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: let's say sixty five percent of the residents said the 590 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: city has gone downhill, and the older people are the 591 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: higher percentage of people who have said it's gone into 592 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 1: the sewer. Well, of course, because the older you are, 593 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: the more likely you can remember when San Francisco was 594 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: a great city and clean and fun and wonderful, so 595 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: that they say with a lot of people in southern California, 596 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: we find the older people have been no longer say 597 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: that much more often. The thing is even younger people. 598 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: I mean, for fifty five percent of the eighteen to 599 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: thirty four year olds to say this city is worse 600 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: than when I moved here. They're not that old. It 601 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: shows you how rapidly it's just gone downhill. Another weird 602 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: thing about human nature is when you talk about a 603 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: poll like that, someone will say, well, it's just older people, 604 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: you know, they're just they're just complaining. They're just nostalgic 605 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: for another time. It's like, no, they're actually alive when 606 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: things were pleasant in s Francisco. So of course they're 607 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: more upset. If you're twenty five, all you know is 608 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: that the city is a store. You don't know any better. Yeah, well, 609 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: I've talked to people that visit there every now and then, 610 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: and they tell me when they've gone there in the 611 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: last couple of years, It's like, whoa holy mackerel, did 612 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: you see the things really went to hell? That half 613 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: the people, half of the people who were spotted in 614 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: the poll said they were victims of theft in the 615 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: last five years. Half, yeah, I told you. Last November 616 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: I witnessed one. I was just standing there in the 617 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: street and I saw I saw a car break in 618 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: right in front of my eyes. Randomly. It was eleven 619 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning too, So I'm not surprised that 620 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: one out of five have been a victim of crime. 621 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: When what were the chances of me seeing that when 622 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: I'm only there a couple of times a year, right, 623 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: staying there in the street. That shows you that it's 624 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: happening much more frequently than you could even imagine. And 625 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: you know the same is true here in La County. 626 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: But again, well, I can't wait to see the elections 627 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: in November and the same tired hacks or the protege's 628 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: of these tired hackst liked it into office and pursue 629 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: the exact same policies that people are going to be 630 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: upset with. Now, I don't know what it takes I 631 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: don't know what's wrong with the human brain. Something's gone wrong. No, 632 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: And you know, based on the history of us covering 633 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, well you always wait for like 634 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: a seminal news event to get changed, like it did 635 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: with three strikes in the nineties. But you and I've 636 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: looked at a few stories the past couple of years 637 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: and thought, Okay, that'll galvanize people, and it didn't. Right, 638 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: everyone is, including the stabbing death of that poor young 639 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: woman working at the furniture store. Yeah, how could that 640 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: fly by with little follow up? That's a made That 641 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: was one of the most brutal stabbings. And I know 642 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: stuff about that that has not been made public. I 643 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: had an inside source. You can't imagine the brutality of 644 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: that stabbing. Well, we'll be talking later on on the 645 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 1: show about apparently Newsome signed this bill, this care court 646 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: thing to take some of the mentally ill off the streets. 647 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: One thing I heard this morning about it, though, that 648 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: really just jolted me. Most of the counties that have 649 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: responded to say, oh, well, we really can't get the 650 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: set up for another two years. Even if we do 651 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: it two years, well, we don't have the infrastructure to 652 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: have the care court set up. Yet that was the 653 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,439 Speaker 1: problem when they got rid of conservatorships for the most 654 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: part back in the sixties. Right, You always hear that 655 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan signed a bill and there were three legislators 656 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: who wrote this bill, and they closed the mental institutions 657 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: in the state. But that's only half the story. The 658 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: other half was the local cities and counties were supposed 659 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: to open their own mental health clinics to take care 660 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: of the mental patients they let out of the state hospitals, 661 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: but in most cases they never did. So this is 662 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: the same thing again. The state is going to make 663 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: a mandate, but the counties and cities are not going 664 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,359 Speaker 1: to bother doing it because they don't want to get 665 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: into business.
