Yes, well, it's always been a prompt 28 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: if I nod off. That's that's why I'm just warning you. 29 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: We've got an exciting show today. You're not going to 30 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: nod off with chaos at city hall. Kevin Leone, we 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: refused to add the D because it's fake that to 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: show his Latino roots, it's fake. Showed up today at 33 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: the La City Council meeting and he came prepared. Supporters 34 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: came with them, so they kind of faced off against 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: the usual crowd that's been there asking for Sadio and 36 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: Leone to resign from the La City Council. But there 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: was some chaos for a while, there was some uproar. 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: They had to call a recess. Daniel Gus with the 39 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: Gus Report watches all this very closely and can certainly 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: give us a lot more insight information. We'll also have 41 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: some audio to play Daniel, how are you good? Thank you? 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: And oh boy, is there some insight information? Depending on 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: who you believe and depending on who you don't. So 44 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: where would you like to start, guys? Well, first of all, 45 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: this was orchestrated by Leone because his supporters came, you think, well, yes, 46 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: the LAPD. I reached out to them today and they 47 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: said to me, the LAPP media relations after this all 48 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: broke blues. They said, quote, we were not aware that 49 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Delone would be present today, so this was a total 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: ambush and I doubt that Deleone was going to show 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: up on his own. And he showed up on the 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: council floor about forty five minutes into the meeting around 53 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: quarter to eleven, after the usual mob of people demanding 54 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: his resignation showed up. But with them we're also probably 55 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: seven eight commenters who claim they were from council District 56 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: fourteen who demanded that the council allow Kevin de Leone 57 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: back into the council meetings. So it did appear to 58 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: be orchestrated between Deleone and his supporters and the LAPD 59 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: claims that they were not aware of it, but the 60 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: LAPD also made some other dubious claims about what took place. 61 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: And oh, you know, does he have to ask does 62 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: he have to ask the LAPD to show up for work? 63 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, no, he's He's an elected member of the 64 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: lap council. He is not suspended. He made some of 65 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: the color off color comments in this meeting that we 66 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: all know about now, But as far as I know, 67 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: the city council has zero mechanism to remove him. He 68 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: is a legitimate member of that body. But my understanding 69 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: is why he showed up may have something to do 70 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: a with the settlement that Mark Ridley Thomas got the 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: other day, but also a believe. I believe that there's 72 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: a sixty day rule that if he doesn't show up 73 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: for six days he may not get paid. But the 74 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: rumor is he may need the cash, and there are 75 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: some I'm not going to mention it on air, but 76 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: there are some very colorful reasons why I'm hearing why 77 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: he might need the cash other than do that to us. 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: These guys always have colorful reasons about that for a while. 79 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: It is the last meeting for as far as I 80 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: know till about mid January where they take another lengthy 81 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: break over the winter to do their their their usual 82 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: trips to Cabo or wherever they're headed. And God knows 83 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: they need it now because they are in a world 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: of heard after. Well usually it's fact finding missions. I'm 85 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: sure there's there's a sure plant in Tijuana that they 86 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: have to tour. The Council want to go on a 87 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: fact finding mission to Rome. That's where I want to go. 88 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: That's your place, Council President Paul Corey and apparently had 89 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: words with him. What happened there? Do you know? Well, 90 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: supposedly when he showed up on the council floor since 91 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: the lap he didn't know about it. I'm gonna guess 92 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: that Krekorian, who, by the way, is the least qualified 93 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: person to handle chaos. This guy is wrapped tighter than 94 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: a bacon wrapped hotdog over at the MacArthur Park. He 95 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: can handle chaos. He's he's really typely wrapped. So, according 96 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: to David Zaneiser and Julia Wick Over at the La Times, 97 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: around a quarter to eleven, Deleone shows up and Kricorian 98 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: goes over to him and I think you may have 99 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: seen some of the clips, or you may play some 100 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: of the clips where he went over to talk to them, 101 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: and that, of course is like lighting a lighting a 102 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: match under the people who've been protesting demanding his resignation 103 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: for the past few months. And supposedly that's when Krikorian 104 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: called a recess and u and then everything. Now the 105 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: video feed on YouTube went, you know, went dark, but 106 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: the phone called the council phone, you could still hear 107 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: the audio on the phone, which I guess they forgot 108 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: to disconnect. So there were all sorts of things going 109 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: on that dirupted, erupted into chainos. But the LAPD denies. 110 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: The LAPD denied to me in writing that there was 111 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: a major disruption today. So go figure they are not 112 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: telling the truth. There's something new. Yeah, sorry, Yeah, So 113 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: now they took a recess. When they came back, was 114 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: Dione still there, No, he was gone, but the protesters 115 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: were still there shouting out. And of course that really 116 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: got in the way of Krekorian's planned because they wanted 117 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: to mention that they were going to honor bone In 118 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: by naming something after him, something after Buscaino, something after correct, 119 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: something after O'Farrell. So they had all sorts of pageantry 120 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: for the for the for these nitwits who are finally 121 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: out of city council, and god knows, you don't want 122 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: to get in the way of city Council's pageantry because 123 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: that's what mattered to them most today. Well, what are 124 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: they naming after? Bonnen? I can think, Yeah, I can 125 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: think of a few things too, like like like a 126 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,679 Speaker 1: restroom on Nish Beach that has become now some homeless 127 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: persons of the sanctuary, but apparently a transportation hub near 128 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: lax For O'Farrell, it's a bridge for corrects, it's some 129 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: sort of green thing in Westwood. And for boost guy, 130 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, some sort of thing on the waterfront down there. 131 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: And that's what these people love most. They want something 132 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: like a dog lifting his leg on a tree. They 133 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: want something named after them so that when they're gone 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: and they're getting their pension they can still have something 135 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: with their name on it. Yeah. Nothing, nothing for Gil 136 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: Sidio because he's now on the sham list. Huh, good question, 137 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: that's very interesting. Yeah, nothing for Sidio, nothing for Jalion, 138 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: for Neuri. I can think of a few things that 139 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't work on radio Daion wants to continue on. So 140 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't have his legacy yet, He's gonna write it's 141 00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: legacy lecies. Everybody was the legacy. And yeah, and by 142 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: the way, I believe, after seeing his supporters showing up today, 143 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: I am going to make a prediction that they will 144 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: not get to twenty thousand, four hundred and thirty seven 145 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: signatures that they need for his recall. I think that 146 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: de Leone is here to today, and I have a 147 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: feeling he may even get reelected in a couple of 148 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: years after what went down today, and knowing the nature 149 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: and largely immigrant community in CED fourteen that resents the 150 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: rest of LA telling them that they tell him de Leone, 151 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: I am a feeling they're not going to get him recalled, 152 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: and I have a feeling he may very well be reelected. 153 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: My senses, it's not their issue. Whatever the protesters are 154 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: upset about with de Leone, that's not what his constituents 155 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: care about. And that's what you need. You need an 156 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: issue that cuts across, you know, mutual both sides have 157 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: to have the same feeling here and they don't, right, 158 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: And this is you know, it's twenty thousand signatures in 159 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: a district that probably didn't have twenty thousand votes for him. 160 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: I think that's going to be exceedingly difficult to guess, 161 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: and I have a feeling that a community like that 162 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: is going to be rallied somehow. However, these things work 163 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: with community organizers. I have a feeling that today was 164 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: a recementing of Kevin de Leone's presence in city council, 165 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: whether anybody else likes it or not.

I'll give you one hint. 216 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Since twenty fifteen, he's been fighting for quick, nimble solutions 217 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: to homelessness. He would laugh, and failed in all his attempts. Uh. 218 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: Mike has led efforts to preserve, protect and promote affordable 219 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: housing in his district. Another fail, dedicated fast forward thinking 220 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: on transit. Yeah, mister Rhode diet and this is just 221 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: an unbelievably long long email that all his quote accomplished. 222 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: This was a self slabb I think so though it's 223 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: written like someone else wrote it, like a tribute about 224 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: probably well probably since it says Mike pushed the city 225 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 1: to do this and do that, it doesn't say I. 226 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: And he released that under his own name enter his account. Yes, 227 00:12:54,720 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: they're all narcissistic ego bags. Incurable shameley, what a buffoon. Now. 228 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Of course, the big news overnight was that when Karen 229 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: Bass gets inaugurated, it was supposed to be in front 230 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: of City Hall on Sunday. I say supposed to be 231 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: because the rain is coming in and they've moved it 232 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: over to La Live. She's gonna be in the Microsoft Theater. 233 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: Wow with seats seven thousand people. Vice President Kamala Harris 234 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: is going to swear her in. Yeah, they're making this 235 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: a big event because this is all it is is ceremony. 236 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: The first black female mayor of LA that's the big 237 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: deal here with the woke crowd. Yeah. Now let's go 238 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: to what normal people care about, and that she said 239 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: she's going to declare homeless emergency and start work immediately. 240 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: So clock is ticking? What time on Sunday? No, I 241 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: don't have a time on it. From well, from that 242 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: first minute, we're gonna be We're gonna Now she's already 243 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: decided she's going to clear out the encampments in front 244 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 1: of city Hall, so she doesn't have to deal with that. 245 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: They're denying that because she's not mayor yet, but that 246 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: is what happened. They cleared out an encampment around cities. 247 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: That's her. Well let's go that's an interesting dodge. Well 248 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm not married yet, so I can't do that. Yeah, 249 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: but you can make a phone call and if that 250 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: staff wants to keep their job past Monday, then they 251 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: are going to comply. Man Harrison Wolman is a Garcetti spokeshole. 252 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: I've never heard that name before. He didn't directly address 253 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: questions about whether the encampment was moved for the inauguration. 254 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: He said homeless outreach began in the area in July. 255 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: I listen to it's homeless outreach, but now it's a 256 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: crisis response teams who are getting involved. They have another 257 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: name for another group of people. It's a crisis response teams. 258 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: Jibber jabber. They're doing it because it's her inauguration. Otherwise, 259 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: the news coverage becomes half about all the encampments in 260 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: front of city Hall. This symbolizes the issue that incoming 261 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: Mayor Bass will have to deal with over the next 262 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: four years. They don't want that. They don't want that 263 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: line leading off all the local news stories. No, and 264 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: what they do, and we saw this year after year. 265 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: When there's like an award ceremony, they clear out the home. 266 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: It's the only time they care about. Did they clear 267 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: out the homeless outside that school in Koreatown? No, No, No, 268 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: those parents are begging. The principle is begging. They won't 269 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: do that for the school in Koreatown. But I remember 270 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: during the last presidential election cycle when a debate came 271 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: to town here on the West Side. I don't know 272 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: if it was at Loyal or Merrimount or I'll forget 273 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: the exact location, but it was near Venice. And boy, 274 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: they cleaned up Lincoln Boulevard on Venice so fast, I 275 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: mean so suddenly. And it went from the biggest hell 276 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: hole imaginable. And then suddenly one Saturday morning we were 277 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: driving down towards Marina del Rey and everything was pristine. 278 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it look like Glendale all of a sudden. 279 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: It was incredible. They're moving these people to the La 280 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: Grand Hotel, which kind of caught some off guard because 281 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: they're winding down. They were part of this stupid project 282 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: room Key that started during the pandemic. But they're actually 283 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: down just less than one hundred and fifty vagrants in 284 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: the hotel they had that used to be a nice 285 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: hotel years ago. That's a good question. It sounds like it, 286 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: doesn't it right? The La Grand Hotel sounds like it 287 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: was a grand hotel and is it now just a 288 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: dumping ground for vagrants, feces and needles. If you go 289 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: there and there's two hundred homeless people in there, what 290 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: do you think it looks like? You imagine? You imagine 291 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: some tourists. The Grand Hotel hard everybody and coming to 292 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: the lobby there's one hundred and fifty people lined up 293 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: smoking crack. Oh I just clicked a story from September 294 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: and a bunch of advocates want them want LA to 295 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: buy the La Grand Hotel and use it for homeless housing. 296 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: So okay, that's kind of what's happening. It's on Figaro 297 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: and Third in downtown LA, so you need to do 298 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to stay there anyway. All right, we 299 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: got more coming up. John and ken k I am 300 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app well. Of course, 301 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: the big story nationally a few weeks ago was the 302 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: man in Colorado Springs, Colorado, who shot up the nightclub 303 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: which specialized in drag shows. Their name John is Anderson 304 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: Ley Aldrich. Do you notice I said their name. I'm 305 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: gonna call him Aldrich. There. They do that a lot 306 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: of stories, but sometimes I have to use the they 307 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: I am. But I see, I don't. I don't believe 308 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: criminals who've killed and then claim some new sexual designation 309 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: claim it before you've killed people, that after, because then 310 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: I think you're just trying to play the system. In 311 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: the days that followed his arrest, he killed five people 312 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: at that nightclub, wounded many more. We learned that something 313 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: happened in June of twenty twenty one which looked really incendiary, 314 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: involving bomb threats by him, and then we learned the 315 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: case kind of went away. We assumed it's because family 316 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: members involved wouldn't cooperate. Well, now we know the details 317 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: June twenty twenty one. In fact, that date, June eighteenth, 318 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: it actually started at his grandparents home in Colorado Springs. 319 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: He became furious. If you can follow this, I'm sorry, 320 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: I said he didn't. I Aldritz became furious when the 321 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: grandparents said they were selling the house and moving to Florida. 322 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: Aldrich told them their names of Pamela and Jonathan pulland 323 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: not to move because it's going to interfere with my 324 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: plans to conduct a mass shooting and bombing. Oh why 325 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: didn't you say so? Now that we know, of course, 326 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: we won't move. You need us to stay here so 327 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: you can blow people up and shoot people. Okay, do 328 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: you realize this insanity or what? Well? Yea is insanity. 329 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: Look what he did, it's insanity. And Aldritz described a 330 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: massing ammunition, firearms, and bulletproof body armor and storing it 331 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: in the grandparents' basement to become the next mass killer. 332 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: The grandparents were living in fear of Aldrich, the grandmother 333 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: believed was building a bomb, discussed wanting to go out 334 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: in a blaze. He threatened to kill the grandparents unless 335 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: they promised not to move, pointed a gun at them, saying, 336 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: you guys die today, and I'm taking you with me. 337 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm loaded and ready. The grandmother said that Aldrich showed 338 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: her a box with chemicals inning, claiming it was a 339 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: bomb powerful enough to blow up a police department in 340 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: a federal building. Okay, here's where everything just falls apart 341 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: into pieces. The grandparents did the obvious thing. They called 342 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: nine one one, and they were begging for their lives. 343 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: They eventually escaped and hidden the basement, and he ends 344 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: up going to his mother's house. Where we knew this 345 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: part of the story because that's where the standoff. It's 346 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: not his mother's house. The mother was living in someone 347 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: else's house in a rented room, but Aldrich's told police 348 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: that this is where I stand today. I die. The mother, 349 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: Laura Vopeal, was uncooperative with authorities and eventually at the 350 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: house left the house and just said Aldred's let me go. 351 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: Swat teams in a bomb squad responded and about ten 352 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: year by homes were evacuated. Aldrich, wearing a helmet and 353 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: a bulletproof vest, hold up in the house, threatened to 354 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: blow it up, yelled profanity. See this part of the story. 355 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: We knew none days afterwards. He lives streamed the incident 356 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: on Facebook. Dora Bell security video of teamed by the 357 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: Associated Press. Those that standoff ended with Aldrich walking out 358 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: of the home, hands up, okay, They arrested him, They 359 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: booked him in jail. A year later, they dismiss it. 360 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: They dismiss it because the family members didn't want to 361 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: cooperate anymore. And you have a right to a speedy trial. 362 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: If these are the rules, the rules ought to be 363 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: changed or I think everybody involved, the police, the prosecutors 364 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: are grushly incompetent because he is committing all kinds of 365 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: crimes in front of the swat teams, in front of 366 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: the bomb squad, and streaming it on Facebook, and he's announcing, 367 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: and he's announcing what he's going to do, and he's 368 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: making direct threats to people. Now, I think Colorado Springs 369 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: prosecution ought to be jailed over this. This is just 370 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: gross incompetence. I think the grandparents and the mother ought 371 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: to be jailed over this. They can't believe they would 372 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: not cooperate, all right, you know they called nine one one, 373 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: But then what a case comes around and they need 374 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: them as part of the key witnesses against them? Everybody 375 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: they said things like, oh, he's a nice kid, how 376 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: do we stop the mass shootings? What we could we 377 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: do to prevent the next one? Well, you got the 378 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: biggest warning possible. He made it very clear in front 379 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: of the police on social media that eventually he's going 380 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: to kill a whole bunch of people, and nobody did 381 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: anything to stop it. How did how do the prosecutors? 382 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: How do they survive this? What a bunch of terrible, awful, 383 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: horrible decisions they make? I don't know, you know, the 384 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: families not coll ode? Would you stop it? You don't 385 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: need the family to cooperate, he committed ree trial hearing. 386 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: In the months following the threats, the suspects family described 387 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: Al Richard's loving did not deserve to be in jail. Yeah, 388 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: and not effectively, you know what for the shake of 389 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: the public, though, you have to find a way around 390 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: the idiot family. Okay, the family is clearly a bunch 391 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: of fools. This happens to a lot of domestic violence cases. Yeah, 392 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: but to the person that got threatened, just changes their mind. 393 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: There's a difference between a husband and wife who beat 394 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: each other up for sport and a guy who announced 395 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: to be a mass killer. Yeah, it's gonna be a 396 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: mass killer, and that actually becomes the mass killer. You know, 397 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: when you get to the swat teams and the bob 398 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: squads and the live stream, that's a whole different thing 399 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: than you know, a husband and wife wrestling in the 400 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: dining room floor after they got too drunk. Yeah, it 401 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: says here weapons and bomb making materials confiscated during the 402 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: case were seized and held in evidence. Okay, those are 403 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: all suspect attempted to reclaim the weapons but was denied. Well, 404 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: that tells you why, You're right. They have to figure 405 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: out a way to keep this guy behind bars for 406 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: a long because there were crimes committed there. Independent of 407 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: what the what the family says, there's crimes committed there. 408 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: There should be. You don't need the family as witnesses. 409 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: When you have the police standoff with this guy and 410 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: he's threatening to blow himself up, and he's got all 411 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: these bombs and weapons, how does that you're right, How 412 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: does that not result in any significant prison time because 413 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: you have I don't know what these morons to mention 414 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: the red flag law wasn't triggered after this, and he 415 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: went and got himself that gun. It's as if it 416 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: never happened. Now that that is just incredible stupidity on 417 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: the part of prosecutors. But of course we don't have 418 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: their names in here. Dewey. Right, evidence was sealed a 419 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: month after the dismissal and couldn't be used for the 420 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: red flag law things right, And then they sealed the evidence. 421 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: Why do you seal the evidence? They act because he's 422 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: young and he was just you know, he's an adult. 423 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: He's twenty two. He's not twelve at the time. He 424 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: was twenty one when he did this. That's an adult still, 425 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: maybe even twenty same thing. It's all adult. That's crazy. Well, 426 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: no wonder this happened, No wonder if people got gunned down. 427 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: It's just having a bad day. It's all the fault 428 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: of the prosecutors. It's the fault of the prosecutors here. 429 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: They're responsible for the murders. Now he's been charged with 430 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: three hundred and five criminal counts, and then the judge 431 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: seals the case, so they can't keep the next gun 432 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: away from him. Doubt. What is it you're thinking now? 433 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: How many other people are like this around the country 434 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: with sealed records, and they're all about to go off. 435 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: They're all this, This is this whole attitude of not 436 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: arresting or not charging, not prosecuting, not set and saying 437 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: this is infected much of the system. Now, so this 438 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: is what you get. And then everybody goes, oh, le, 439 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: look at the shooting here. Oh oh, let's have a vigil. 440 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: Thoughts and prayers for everybody. Thoughts and prayers. Oh and 441 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: here's the kicker. After the shooting, when they went to 442 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: the house and talked to the mother, this Laura vocal, 443 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: she said, oh, I thought he was going out on 444 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: an errand last night he did leave around ten o'clock. 445 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: We were going to go to a movie. He said 446 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: I'll be back in fifteen minutes, and then told authorities that, oh, 447 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: me and my son, Aldrich, we don't have any weapons, 448 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 1: except he's got a folding pocket knife. Now she's she's 449 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: almost as bad as he is. But but again, these 450 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: these these guys come from this kind of insanity and dysfunction. 451 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: They come from this kind of crazy. They always do. 452 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen out of nowhere. It never happens out 453 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: of nowhere. We got more to come, Johnny ken caf 454 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: I am six forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. What 455 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: I got a hum?

All right, we'll talk to Blake about it. 494 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: Back to oh boy, the mass shooting stories. We just 495 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: talked about the Colorado spring story where they killed five 496 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: people and wounded seventeen others at the nightclub. Remember the 497 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: Walmart shooting, which I think happened right after that, And 498 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: that's a man that was the night shift manager who 499 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: shot and killed six workers and then himself Andre Bing. 500 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: He injured four other people. Well, the update on that 501 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: from the Wall Street Journal is that Walmart investigated in 502 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: early twenty complaints about him from co workers that he 503 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: was threatening and bullying and just playing weird. We saw that, 504 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: heard that story before where he apparently taped over his 505 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: cell phone because he didn't want the government listening in 506 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: on him or taking pictures or looking at anything through 507 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: the phone. I don't know. He was an unkind manager 508 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: engaged in threatening behavior. We were individually interviewed, said one 509 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: former employee at the store. This is Chesapeake, Virginia. Amanda 510 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: land Bing was not easy to get along with. He 511 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: thought people were always talking crap about him. You see, 512 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: he was really paranoid. That's why you know everybody, you know, 513 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: it's really strange. What gets you an immediate dismissal is 514 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: if you make some kind of racial or sexual joke, right, oh, right, 515 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: if you're threatening people. But actually, but you're fair about 516 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: it and threatening everybody. Yeah, if you're threatening people or 517 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: you're or look what the guy in Colorado Springs did. 518 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you get you get violent, and you have 519 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: loaded weapons and you're acting insane. Ultimately, no charges, but god, 520 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: first bit, somebody over heres a straight comment you make 521 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: and and suddenly the whole world comes crashing down. Why 522 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: is it that words seem to cause a greater reaction 523 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: than violent acts or the threat of violent acts. Listen 524 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: to this, When did that happen? Don't you think this 525 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: should have raised alarm before the shooting? There's a lawsuit 526 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: now about this. Being told store employees, including managers, that 527 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: he were ever fired, he would retaliate and repeatedly ask 528 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: co workers if they had received their active shooter training. Well, 529 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: that's a tip off, isn't it. That doesn't get you. 530 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: He didn't get fired for he didn't get disciplined as 531 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: far as we know. Well, you know the thing is, 532 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: you're you're in a tough spot. Well, because he should 533 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: be removed and then you have to put armed security 534 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: to make sure he doesn't come back. And I wonder 535 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: if they felt like, well, if we trigger him and 536 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: if everybody deal, yeah, then he is going to come 537 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: in here and kill us all. She can't live like 538 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: that because that's always hanging over you. Well you well, 539 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: that's that's why there's got to be a place. This 540 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: is why you put people away. We start acting like this, 541 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: because then you'll get killed if you do something. You'll 542 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: get killed if you don't do something. Because he has 543 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: an obsession to kill his co workers, and once he 544 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: hits at it, take him seriously assume he's going to 545 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: do it. James Kelly, who worked as an overnight stalker, 546 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: also witnessed the shooting, complained to Walmart that being harassed him. 547 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: He made badgering comments and at one point said, I 548 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: don't care how big you are. I have something to 549 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: take care of that, which to me implies a gun. Right. Yeah, 550 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: I'd tell you to take a bigger person. Yeah, I said, 551 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: all right, when we return, you want to live, You 552 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: got to take action. We will get more in detail 553 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: on the story we were just telling you about from 554 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: Cafeie News reporter Blake Trolley.
