You 28 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: were in the promo clip, right at least I got 29 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: the you know that those ten seconds. Alex Michaelson, the 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: lead anchor at Fox eleven News, is with us to 31 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: talk about it. Alex, how are you? There is a 32 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: whole lot of John. I think you are the star 33 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: of this and like most things, and I'm not just 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: saying this because I'm on your show. You often make 35 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: the most sense, just stating the common sense reality that 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: so many people are thinking throughout this issue, which of 37 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: course is like the biggest issue in Southern California and 38 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: has been for years. Yeah, I think it's the primary 39 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: reason people will vote for the candidate they vote for, 40 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: at least down here and in the LA area. It's 41 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: been number right. I mean it's driving the it's driving 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: the LA Mayor's race, no doubt. I mean some ninety 43 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: percent of people pulled by the LA time said that 44 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: homelessness is issue number one. Every time there is a 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: mayor's debate or discussion on that, it's it's the big issue. 46 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: It's it's clearly the thing that Caruso is banking on 47 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: and running ads on over and over again, trying to 48 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: clean up the streets. I think people are just fed up. 49 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: And it's not even a partisan thing. It has gotten 50 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: so bad that it's crossed over and people that are 51 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, liberal Democrats on the west side of LA 52 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: who voted for Obama or maybe voted for Bernie Sanders 53 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: are just saying enough of this. We can't have this 54 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: as it's encroaching into their daily lives and unable to 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, take their kids on a walk to the park. Well, 56 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: what did you and your reporter's staff, what did you 57 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: discover researching this documentary, because this this is ninety minutes, 58 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of material in it. What I think 59 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: would yeah, what you get a sense of I think 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: watching this documentary, which I know you know John is 61 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: just how um nuanced this problem is a huge part 62 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: of it, which which you talk about so often here 63 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: and so well, here is the issue of drugs and 64 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: mental illness and our inability or unwillingness to take the 65 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: steps to actually treat that in a humane way and 66 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: get people off the streets. But there are also, you know, 67 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: the elements of poverty and people that are ashamed of that. 68 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: They're elements of the foster care system UM that really 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: had led kids astray and they're they're aged out into 70 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: that and that leads to homelessness. There are elements of 71 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: race and other things too that contribute to it. It 72 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: is a nuanced, comted problem. I think there are a 73 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: lot of people with good intentions trying to solve it. 74 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: But what's clear is the more we do this, the 75 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: less success so we've been. I mean, the amount of 76 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: money that we've spent in the last ten years, spending 77 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: double or more on homelessness and get having twice as 78 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: many homeless people on the streets is absurd, And just 79 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: like what's happening with some of these mass shootings, I 80 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: think we're at a point where everybody needs to take 81 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: a second and think about how did we get here? 82 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: And more importantly, what can we do to try to 83 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: fix this? Because the status quo is unacceptable. The first 84 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: step is to admit that what we're doing is not working, 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: period and that something else has to be done here. 86 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: And maybe it's stuff that you disagree with. You know, 87 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: a single person might say, Wow, I don't like that idea, 88 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: but we've got to do something else. I mean, this 89 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: is really spiraling downward. How much did you talk to 90 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: a people in power or people work for these agencies 91 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: or loss or whatever. Is there the same sense of 92 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: frustration on the inside or is are they more complacent? 93 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: And is that one of the reasons nothing gets done? Well, 94 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: I think one of the big reasons that nothing gets 95 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: done is that everybody blames somebody else, right, The city 96 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: blames the county, The county blames the state, the state 97 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: blames the federal government. And it's a round and round 98 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: and round and round, and nobody is in charge to 99 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: just say this is on me, like I've got control 100 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: of this, and you know, some of that blame if 101 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: you talk to people privately from the city goes to 102 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: Mayor Garcetti kind of being absent. I mean, he said 103 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: to me in an interview that you know, he doesn't 104 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't basically accept any blame on the issue of homelessness. 105 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: That it's bigger than the mayor, and no doubt it's 106 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: bigger than the mayor. And it's not just a one 107 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: person issue. But the mayor is not a casual observer. 108 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: It's not like he's just watching this from afar. And 109 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: there really has not been one person, one leader, who 110 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: has taken charge and said I got this, let's go, 111 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: We're going to take this thing on. And it's And 112 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: I spoke last week with a few different city officials 113 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: just privately at an event that I was at, and 114 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: they said, the biggest issue in La City government is 115 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: lack of courage. That people aren't willing to stand up 116 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: to the social media mob. They aren't willing to take 117 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: on the Twitter trolls. They're so focused on being ld 118 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: and doing stuff that they think real advance their careers 119 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: that they're not taking care of the real things. Yeah, 120 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: the crazy people on social media about that, the crazy 121 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: people on social media intimidate them to this extent. Well, 122 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: you based off of their actions, right, Yeah, because that 123 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: was going to be my next questions, like what's keeping 124 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: them from exhibiting the courage, what's keeping them from taking action? 125 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: I understand they're all pointing fingers at each other, but 126 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: I don't see anybody moving forward and saying, oh, this 127 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: is my part. I'm going to do Maybe he's not 128 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: going to do anything, but I will do this. This 129 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: is the extent of my powers. And it's just the 130 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: fear of all the public criticism for no matter what 131 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: you do, and fear of you know, the I mean 132 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: there is criticism no matter what you do. Because every 133 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: time that they try to even clear out these homeless encampments, 134 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: you have activists that come out there that protest it, 135 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: that show up at public officials homes, that get on 136 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: Twitter and posted about them, and all the rest of it. 137 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: There is a group of people that are that are 138 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: very vocal, very very small minority, very small minority, but 139 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: they're very loud, and they get in people's faces, and 140 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: clearly they've intimidated some people. And then there's also the argument, 141 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: of course, of the sort of the homeless industrial complex, 142 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: right that certain businesses and contractors and everybody else are 143 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: getting making a lot of money off of this system. Now, 144 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: so why would they want to change it and some 145 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: of those people, maybe you know, donating and financing some 146 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: of our officials. All right, Alex, well, I'm looking forward 147 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: to watching it tonight because I haven't seen it yet 148 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: and it's six o'clock too.

Oh well, thank thank 153 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: you for having me on the documentary. It's Fox eleven. 154 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: It's called Lost Angelus, Los Angeles, City of Homeless, and 155 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: it's on at six o'clock tonight, six to seven thirty. 156 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: So watch it, record it and I'll watch it tonight 157 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: and we'll talk with you soon.

All Right, that's Alex Michaelson, 159 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: the lead anchor at Fox eleven. And see how it 160 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: turns out tonight, John and Ken caf I, Well, we 161 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: got a clearer picture of what happened yesterday and the 162 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: place called Duvaldi, Texas, west of San Antonio, with this 163 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: mass shooting at this school. Will run it down after 164 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,599 Speaker 1: the news at four thirty. There's a few things that 165 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: kind of didn't make sense to us yesterday concerning how 166 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: this guy got to the school because he crashed his 167 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: pickup truck and what was that about. We know a 168 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: lot more and we'll bring it to you. And unlike 169 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo shooting, the mother's talking, the grandparents are talking. 170 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: They're all talking about the killer, and nobody's taking any responsibility. 171 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: I noticed it's about fifty fifty. It seems the mass 172 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: shootings the ones who give up versus the ones who 173 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: decide to die in a shootout. It seems to be 174 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: running because the Buffalo shooter gave up, right, the Michigan 175 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: shooter gave up, but this one, Salvador Ramos went down 176 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: and a Halo bullet, so I don't have to there's 177 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: anything to that. There's something else, though, I think we 178 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: learned because the whole social media thing, and we'll get 179 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: into it after four thirty. Here's your yoga pants update. 180 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: Garcetti wants to be ambassador to India. The Los Angeles 181 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: mayor thinks, well, for now, that's my next best landing spot, 182 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: since I can't be mayor of LA and there's really 183 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: nothing open in politics here right now, so I'll try 184 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: to cling onto the Biden administration for as long as 185 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: that last. But of course it's ran into a snag. 186 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: He has to be confirmed by the United States Senate. 187 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: There are fifty Democrats, but a few of them are 188 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: hesitant because of concerns that Garcetti's a liar, which he is. Yeah, 189 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: he did not admit that he either saw or knew 190 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: about sex harassment that was being doled out by his 191 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: top aid, Rick Jacobs. So he has this big advocate 192 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: in Washington, DC. Not really sure why. It's a Connecticut 193 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: senator named Christopher Murphy, and he's apparently been walking the 194 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: halls trying to get Garcetti's nomination through. I don't know 195 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: anything about the relationship, but his name keeps popping up. 196 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: He's the big advocate for Garsetti in DC, trying to 197 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: shepherd denomination. Yes, he's trying to shepherd denomination through. So 198 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: he came out yesterday and said we got about a 199 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: week left and that's it. He wants the White House 200 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: to either figure this out to get enough votes or 201 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: give up and move on. Murphy's quote is, I think 202 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: we should spend another week working on this, and then 203 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: the White House has to make a call. What is 204 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: working on this mean, I mean, this is easy. Just 205 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: if he gets all fifty Democrats plus Kamala Harris, it 206 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: will pass. Right, But what is it that anyone's gonna 207 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: say that hasn't already been said? Make deals, then promise 208 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: them some money in a bill. If that's that important 209 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: that you get Garcetti, that's how it works, Oh, time 210 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: to bribe. Well, yeah, exactly, Yeah, I guess that you 211 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: work with us, we'll work with you. I mean, if 212 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: if he's that important, I don't think he is. But 213 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think, But I think that's the 214 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: implication there. You've got to start wheeling and dealing with 215 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: these hesitant Democrats. Well, what I read is that the 216 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: White House has not contacted anybody in any serious way 217 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: for a number of weeks because of the senators. Yeah, 218 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: the other senators. There hasn't been. That's there's only three 219 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: or four other than vocally saying I don't know. There 220 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: could be others that are just there could be others 221 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: that aren't going public. There's always a group that wants 222 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: someone else to take the flak and provide the cover. 223 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: And I don't, I don't. I mean, this story is 224 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: so gross, who know, there can't be that many senators 225 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: really comfortable and endorsing it. We're getting deep into the 226 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: election season now, and and this this is just a 227 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: bad look. I mean, all these because all these people 228 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: are you know, me too acolytes that they've they've all 229 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: been pounding this drum for quite a while. And but 230 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: they probably think, and there might be some truth to this. 231 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't following this story. So if 232 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: they vote for the nomination, who's gonna right, But some 233 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: of the meat two groups point this out or they 234 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, because again it's a fellow 235 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: Democrat for them, Yeah, they tend to give them a pass. 236 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: The thing is, it's they've turned it into a big story. 237 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: If they had quickly approved him as ambassador, maybe it 238 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: would have gone away by now. But it's they're the 239 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: ones who made it the story. They're refusing to pull 240 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: the trigger. And you know what makes me wonder what 241 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: else is out there that they've heard about through gossip 242 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: circles but it just hasn't made the regular news media. 243 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: Often there's another story there's it's it's like the Trevor 244 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: Bower's story. You know, they've suspended him for two plus years, 245 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: and you could say, why he's not been charged with 246 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: anything for having the rough sex with the woman? And 247 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: I think, Wow, maybe there's a lot of other women 248 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: out there who've contacted Major League Baseball and they don't 249 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: want to let him play and then have the whole 250 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: world come crashing down because there's one horrible story after 251 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: the next, And maybe there's other stuff about Garcetti. I mean, 252 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: this can't be the only like sleazy, weirdo thing that 253 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: he's done, or Rick Jacobs is done. I mean, these 254 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: are guys in their fifties and what are they doing. 255 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: Jacobs is forcing his mouth on everybody in sight, and 256 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: Garcetti is giggling like a schoolgirl and and then lying 257 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: about it. But what else is going on? Did you 258 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: started behaving like this at the you know, at the 259 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: age of fifty. Murphy seems to feel sorry for Garsetti. 260 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: The rest of the quote is, well, we've been at 261 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: this for a while. Ultimately, we can't be in limbo forever. 262 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: He doesn't deserve to be in this kind of limbo. 263 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: But let's see if we can make some progress in 264 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: the next couple of them. All Right, So they're buddies. However, 265 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: they became buddies. They're buddies, and he's trying to do 266 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: something for his friend, but he's not getting cooperation. Nobody 267 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: is calling Murphy up and saying, hey, I'm in. I'm in. 268 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like it. No, we know all the names 269 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: of the public senators. The senators are publicly resisting. We 270 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: know their names. They're not changing their story. There's still 271 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: they're hoping it goes away. This is not something they 272 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: want to deal with. And I think there's a whole 273 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: game you play in Washington where you say you're reluctant, 274 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: but you're open, and you know, I'm waiting for somebody 275 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: to make the case, and then nobody makes the case, 276 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: and finally somebody says, Wow, this is dragged don a 277 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: long time. You know. It's to me. I'm wondering. I'm 278 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: wondering why the Biden administration just hasn't moved on. Just 279 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: pick somebody else. It's not that big a deal. I 280 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: don't know that. Maybe they're just reluctantly loyal to people 281 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: I've known. But by the way, if his nomination does 282 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: get deep sixed, it's all because of Naomi Siligman. The 283 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: former press officer for Garcetti that really made the case 284 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: to Washington with this whistleblower organization that gave all this 285 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: information to these Republican senators who put a hold on 286 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: the nomination and got these few Democrats senators to go, ah, 287 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: maybe we're rushing into this. How can you take on 288 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: a woman who was she was assaulted in some way 289 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: by j Acobs. Are Forcibly kissed? Forcibly kissed? Yeah, so 290 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: she was a victim of Jacobs. She was the communications 291 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: director for Garcetti. She's a woman who's been heavily involved 292 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: in this kind of politics for a long time. How 293 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: do you tell her that she's full of it or 294 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: we don't care what you say. Garcetti's getting in any way. 295 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: That's very difficult for them to do it right. They're 296 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: supposed to be responding to a woman exactly like her. 297 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: That's the kind of woman that they have to respect 298 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: and respond to when she says, hey, I'm telling you 299 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: the truth, this is what goes on. I was there, 300 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: I mean, a communications director, that's the inner circle. So 301 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: she's got a tremendous amount of credibility. This is not 302 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: an anonymous affidavit that's at the bottom of the report. 303 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean she was a big deal. And and notice 304 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: nobody says Naomi Seligman is lying all Garcetti says, well, 305 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm telling the truth, but I haven't heard him saying 306 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: Naomi Seeligman is a liar. And I'm so you're for 307 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: definimation not doing that. All right, when we come back, 308 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: we'll fill you in on a lot we learned today 309 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: about the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas at the school 310 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: Johnny Ken show Cafi Hey a quick reminder that tomorrow 311 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: will be back with the moist line.

We'll talk about these two things. 321 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: Edward Ring, a policy researcher, has written a numerous articles 322 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: on this at California Globe dot Com will be our 323 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: guest at five oh five.

So he'll be here, yeah, 328 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. This is like all this stuff. There's 329 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: a group of hecklers, really, and they're like religious cultists, 330 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: and they have this belief system, and the belief system 331 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: always skews in favor of us not living here and 332 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: living our modern life. It is a war in your lifestyle, 333 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: and that big part of it. That's more what it is. 334 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: It's not so much we're harming the planet or we're 335 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: using up the water or using up the oil. It's 336 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: about they don't like the way we live. And he's right, 337 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: there is a tremendous amount of water available if we 338 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: were intelligence. Isn't the proof of that that did? People 339 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: like you and I? Suburban users are six percent of 340 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: the water usage. Why are they hammering home against those people? 341 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: Stop watering your grass, stop washing your car, stop this, 342 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: Stop that six percent you're playing at the margins. It's silly, 343 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: we were, but it is about your lifestyle. They want 344 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: to hammer it out. Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying. 345 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: This is a religious cult judging us that we're living 346 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: in an unholy life that the gods of Mother Earth 347 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: do not approve of. It's very weird, but it's very 348 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: reminiscent of old time religions. And we'll talk about it 349 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: with Ed Ring coming up at five o'clock. Well, we 350 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: learned today in a couple of news conferences, new details 351 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: about the mass shooting at the school in Uvaldi, Texas, 352 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: rob elementary school with nineteen children and two teachers killed 353 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: by Salvador Ramos, eighteen. He made a plan to do this. 354 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: In fact, when he turned eighteen not too long ago, 355 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: he bought himself some guns at a real big pile 356 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: of ammunition. So yesterday morning, he shot his grandmother in 357 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: the face and then he took off in his black 358 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: Ford F one fIF to the school. He was in 359 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: such a hurry that he crashed into a ditch behind 360 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: the elementary school. Eventually the cops arrived. He exchanged gunfire, 361 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: but he managed to get inside the school barricaded himself 362 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: into a classroom and that's where he killed all nineteen students. 363 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: Inside that classroom, it was tough to get at him, 364 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: but eventually help came, obviously from local police, but a 365 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: customs and bullet patrolled tactical unit also responded. They were 366 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: able to breach the classroom and they shot Ramos dead. 367 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: In fact, the one agent that did this may have 368 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: suffered a leg injury, and there's another agent. It might 369 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: be the same one got like a bullet hole in 370 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: his hat. But they are a tactical team, so they 371 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: came up with a strategy to get into this barricaded room. 372 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: He had set up all sorts of obstacles and he 373 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: was actually hiding behind a barricade when they got into 374 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: the room, so he was tough to shoot and shooting 375 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: at them at the same time. But they nailed him, 376 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: which is nice. Evil's dead, But of course, what's making 377 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: him He was wearing body armor. Two. What's making a 378 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: lot of news? And by the way, some of this 379 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: comes from a new station in Texas. It's Mine k 380 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: e n S Channel five, Ken's Ken's Channel five. What's 381 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: making news today though, is the fact that he posted 382 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: some messages. Three Facebook posts before the shooting were issued 383 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: by the gunmen. Facebook Meta immediately responded these were private posts, 384 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: so they weren't there for anyone to see. But what 385 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: does that mean? That means people who follow him got 386 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: this on their feed. I guess it's the first post 387 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: is I'm going to shoot my grandmother. Second post is 388 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: I shot my grandmother. Third post, maybe less than fifteen 389 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: minutes before I got to the school, was I'm gonna 390 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: to elementary school. Well what they what they have if 391 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: Facebook is they have artificial intelligence. And if you write 392 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: something along the lines of COVID as a hoax and 393 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: ivermectin will cure it, their little scanner will will flag 394 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: that immediately and and and suspend your account. Meta is 395 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: saying that they were private one to one text messages 396 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 1: that were discovered after the terrible tragedy occurred. That's their 397 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: response to this. So it was the direct message Facebook 398 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: has right. They also posted images online before the shooting, 399 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: and as you probably heard, he messaged in a Los 400 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: Angeles area woman about his plans before he carried out 401 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,239 Speaker 1: the deadly attack. She was a little baffled by all this, 402 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: but I knew reading another story that she was vaguely 403 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: familiar with him, but not really. It's not really. It's 404 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: probably an online relationship. Now people people meet up online 405 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: that they you can go into all kinds of places, 406 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: chat rooms and message boards and you get to know 407 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: each other. And he was sending a pictures like hey, 408 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: you're going to repost my gun picks and she was 409 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: tagged in photos. He remember, Anthony Wieners suddenly was able 410 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: to connect with all these teenage girls and he started 411 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: sending his penis pictures. He didn't know any of these girls. 412 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 1: He just connected with them online. Um, I mean you can. 413 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: You can. You can go through Facebook or Twitter or 414 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: any of these things and you can send a direct 415 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: message almost anyone in the world if they have an 416 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: account on Twitter. They on Facebook, for example. They used 417 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: to let's let's say there was somebody you'd you'd lost 418 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: touch with right and you wanted to send him a 419 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: message or you saw a stranger's post. He used to 420 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: charge nineteen cents. I don't know if they still do 421 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: to send a direct message to them. And it's like 422 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: a little email box. I mean, yesterday we were led 423 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: to believe that this person. I think it's a woman 424 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: who was picked randomly, But now we're hearing they may 425 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: have some tangential relationship. He was probably hitting on her 426 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: for some reason. She was getting flattered by his interest. 427 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: That's usually what it is. It's just sex hormones talking 428 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: to each other. Unlike the Buffalo shooter, family members are 429 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: speaking out. The mother told The Daily Mail that my 430 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: son is not a violent person and we did not 431 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 1: have a toxic relationship. Although the word is that he 432 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: lived with the grandparents because he had an ugly time 433 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: with his mother, who may have dabbled in drugs, right, 434 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: and I had not heard word one about dad. This 435 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: is what we said yesterday. Odds are there's no dad 436 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: in the house. The mother. The mother is as a 437 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: looney ben of course she is. She's a drug addict, right, 438 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: She's like an old grandma and old grandpa trying to 439 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: reign in this kid who really was probably lost when 440 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: he was five years old. There was probably very little discipline, 441 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: very little focus. He's weird. He didn't connect with any kids, 442 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: boys or girls. He had no outlet in his life. 443 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: He wasn't good at anything. It's the same guy over 444 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: and over again. Really. The dispute with his grandmother began 445 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: over a phone. She wanted him to get his own phone, 446 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: and he didn't like that. Where did he get the 447 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: money for them to buy these guns and ammunitions and 448 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: the thousands of dollars? Where did he get this? He 449 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: worked at Wendy's at some point for what's like eight 450 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: bucks an hour. Yeah, I don't know. Was somebody that 451 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: was he selling drugs on the side that that doesn't 452 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: add up. That's expensive stuff he had. You don't get 453 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: that on a Wendy's salary. I'm really suspicious here. The 454 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: grandfather's claiming we didn't know he had guns. Well, I 455 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't believe them. I just don't 456 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: believe them because it's not really really embarrassing to them. 457 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: It's horrifically embarrassing. They got nineteen dead children. They've published 458 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: the photos of these kids, all sweet, innocent. It's just 459 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: absolutely heartbreaking. What would you say, you're living with a 460 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: grand kid, you're out to lunch, you know the kid's trouble. 461 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: In fact, the grandfather said he rarely talked to the kid. Basically, 462 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: the kid was thrown on him and his wife because 463 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: drug addict daughter couldn't couldn't handle them right, So the 464 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: grandfather had no relationship, and the grandfather's a felon himself. 465 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: He wasn't supposed to be near guns. So of course 466 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: he's going to say I didn't know. If he says 467 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: I didn't know or I bought it for him, he's 468 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 1: going to get thrown maybe in jail, for violating the 469 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: terms of his parole. So these people just lie, and 470 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: I imagine that's perfectly understandable that they're gonna lie. They 471 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: don't want public responsibility for this, they don't want to 472 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: be blamed. It's an ugly brew. But sadly there are 473 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: many people out there with the situation like this. God, yeah, 474 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: there is there is. I mean, look look look at 475 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: with their families. They're isolated, their alone. Yeah in cell men. Yeah, 476 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: I mean what the FBI says saying, of course that 477 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: this shooter was bullied at school. We always hear that 478 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: don't well, and they're kids like that are always going 479 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: to be bullied because they're weird. Like I said before, 480 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: it's almost you look at you look at all of 481 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: us as a human organism, and he's a virus and 482 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: the rest of the organism has to surround the virus 483 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: and expel it. So you surround him, you taunt him, 484 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: you make him uncomfortable, and then he leaves because there's 485 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: something about it. And guess what, they're right. They're right. 486 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: They all picked up on something that they were correct about. 487 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: He had something wrong inside of him. And they always 488 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: want to blame the bullying, blame the other kids ostracizing him. 489 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: The kids are ostracizing him for a reason. He makes 490 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: them really uncomfortable. He's so weird and strange. He gives 491 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: us such a bad vibe that they just have a hunch. 492 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: They just have a gut instinct that's like, Wow, this 493 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: guy's trouble. I don't want to be a part of this. 494 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: I don't like him. All right, we got more coming out, 495 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: John and can caffeine? All right? Coming up after News 496 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: at five o'clock, will take a closer look at the 497 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: bogus story of California's drought again. Suburban users, you live 498 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: into the towns in the cities, with your water agencies 499 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: six percent of the total conception. Yet all we hear 500 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: about constantly is how we have to cut back your 501 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: usage to battle the lack of water. Can that be real? 502 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: Edward Ring will join us a policy analyst. He's written 503 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: about a series of articles on water abundance for the 504 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: California Globe, and we'll get into it with him. We 505 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: can't really compact everything he's written about. Here's a six 506 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: part because if we all decided to cut our water 507 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: use by twenty percent, that only saves about one percent overall. Well, 508 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't sound like it would have any real effect. 509 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they're proposing extreme water rationing. Why it's not us, 510 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: it's farming industry, right, But the farming industry spends a 511 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: lot of money on political campaigns. I mean it's an 512 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: overwhelming amount of money. And much of their farming goes 513 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: for overseas products. Yeah, so we'll get into this after 514 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: the news at five o'clock. Here comes the animal story 515 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: for Deborah Mark. Okay, oh, you sound a little apprehensive. Well, 516 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: I'll get an avocado story to save you from poisoning, right, 517 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: I know. But there is a story I was actually 518 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: gonna email you about, and I'm wondering if that's it, 519 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: and if it is, it's very sad. Is it a 520 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: sad animals sat the watch on? Is it a sad 521 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: animal story? Who's yours mine? Yes? And it involves the Trumps. 522 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: I'll bet yours doesn't know well. As you know, Donald 523 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: Trump Junior is an avowed hunter. He has posed with 524 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: many exotic animals over the years. Yeah, that's really disgusting. 525 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: So he went on a hunt in twenty eighteen in 526 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: Utah where he killed a bear. The reason we're mentioning 527 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: the story you're not gonna like this is that the 528 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: man that organized the hunt for him is Natan Wade 529 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: Cox Lemon Lemon sixty one years old. He's been char 530 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: arged with wanton destruction of protected wildlife because apparently he 531 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: used bait to get the bears to come, including oil, 532 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: grain and pastries to lure them out. And in fact 533 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: they did find some half eaten bait near where where 534 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: the one of the bears was killed. You're not supposed 535 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: to do. That is cheating, first of all. That's right, 536 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: takes away some of the sport of it. He set 537 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: rig the game. He sets up the rich kid by 538 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: baiting the bears so that so that Trump could Trump 539 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: Junior could stand there and pose with the dead bear. 540 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: They also used dogs to surround the bear. Oh no, 541 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: no kin, but they were illegal in the area of 542 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: the hunt was taking place. In that's really really cruel. 543 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: Life in prison, Deborah beyond beyond oh talking to the the 544 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: death penalty. Put him in a cell with a bear. Oh, 545 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: that's perfect, a hungry bear. That's right. Use them for 546 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: bait baits. Yeah, that is the end of the hunt 547 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: is recorded, showing the bear surrounded by a pack of 548 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: hunting dogs before the clients shoots and kills the animal. 549 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: That's on Utah law forbids bear luring bears to a 550 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: bait station and then pursuing the animal with dogs. So 551 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: that's what he's charged with. There's video of it. They 552 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: took video of this. You don't think people that hunt 553 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: game don't take video. Of course, they're excited to show 554 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: off they took. They actually go home and they show 555 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: video of a bear being lured out and shot to death. Yeah, 556 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: it's not enough just to show the bear caucus. God, 557 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: I hate people, I really do. Yeah. Every day this 558 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: gets worse. Coming up next, we'll focus on California's drought. 559 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: Really is it? Water?
