Probably show I'm O'Kelly in for 11 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: John and Ken on this Independence Day, and I, like you, 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: woke up thinking today was going to go one way 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they went another way. 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: And I think that's the hardest thing about doing this job. 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: The hardest thing is thinking you're going to come in 16 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: and talk about one thing, and then all of a 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: sudden the news takes you in a completely different direction. 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: I'll often think that holidays tend to be the least 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: newsworthy days in which there is the least to talk about, 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: there is the least going on, and then I can 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: change to the drop of the hat. And then when 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: I got going today and I heard the news about 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: the shooting in Illinois Highland Park. And if you don't 24 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: know that area, it's not Chicago, it really isn't. It's 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: a good twenty five to thirty miles north of Chicago. 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: Calling Highland Park Chicago is like calling Pomona, Los Angeles. 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: They're not close in physical proximity, and they're not close 28 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: as far as the feel of the cities. But when 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: I got the news of the shooting in Highland Park, 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I thought about a number of things. I thought about. 31 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: This was always in the back of my mind. I 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: was hoping that nothing bad would happen in America on 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: America's Birthday, if only because we had been trending in 34 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: such a negative direction for the past few weeks, the 35 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: past few months, more than a year, we had been 36 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: escalating in our rhetoric. We had been escalating a number 37 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: of mass shootings, in the situations we found ourselves in 38 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: as Americans. I was hoping that today would be a respite, 39 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: that today would be different from what we had been 40 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: experiencing in recent months, and unfortunately, we got more of 41 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: the same. And then I thought about this in a 42 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: post nine to eleven world. If you remember, just say 43 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: you were in Los Angeles. If you were in Los Angeles, 44 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: you saw what was happening in New York, and you 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily know if it began and ended with New York, 46 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: and as it turned out, it didn't. There were other 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: planes which were taken down in Washington, d c. And 48 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: also Shanksville, Pennsylvania. And he didn't know if this was 49 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: the first attack, was going to be something bigger, something broader, 50 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: more sinister and comprehensive in nature. And that was my concern, 51 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it was yours, but that's what 52 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: was on my mind at that time because when I 53 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: heard about the shooting, it obviously wasn't random in the 54 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: sense of today someone just woke up and decided to 55 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: do it. It was planning involved in that regard. It 56 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: may have been random as far as who this unidentified 57 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: shoot at this point, who was still on the loose 58 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: that law enforcements or law enforcement is still looking for. 59 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: It was random in the sense of who it's seen 60 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: he was shooting. That remains to be seen. But they 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: haven't necessarily connected a particular motive, at least on the surface. 62 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: But we didn't know if it was going to begin 63 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: and end with that single event in that single city 64 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: all around America. That was on my mind, and I 65 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: was trying to process where we were and where we 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: are as a nation. And if I have been told correctly, 67 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be another news conference coming up in 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: the next ten fifteen minutes or so, and k if 69 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: I will cover that for you so we can make 70 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: sure that you have the latest information possible. But we 71 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: all I Asson woke up this morning thinking our day 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: was going to go one way, and it took us 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: in another direction. But working in radio, you have to 74 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: somehow do this dance. You have to either be aware 75 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: of the news, report on the news, give analysis to 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: the news, and sometimes it's happening so fast you don't 77 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: have time to emotionally contextualize it. I don't know what 78 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: to make of this moment in America. I really don't. 79 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is just one a whole, 80 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: one person on one day, or is this something more. 81 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know where we're going, and it's a 82 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: feeling of hopelessness and a feeling of helplessness on some level, 83 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: even though I love this country, and I love what 84 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: this country has become over the years, provements the changes 85 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: which have been made. I don't necessarily know what's in 86 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: front of us at this moment. I've never seen anything 87 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: like this before in our nation's history, not even from 88 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: what I've read. It just seems like we're moving in 89 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: the wrong direction. And I'm not talking about politically. I'm 90 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: just talking about as people, as we relate to one another, 91 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: as we look upon one another. We don't look upon 92 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: each other as Americans. We can go back and forth 93 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: as far as why that is, and I'm not even 94 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: going to get into any of that today. I don't 95 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: think those opinions are even appropriate on a daylight today. 96 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: But I know that we're here, and I know that 97 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: it saddens me that we are here. I know it's 98 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: not what I wanted to come on and talk about today, 99 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: talking about a mass shooting at a Fourth of July 100 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: parade and some six people at this point we know 101 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: of are dead at this point, many more in the hospital, 102 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: And I wonder, what do you say to that. We 103 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: can give you the information, but how do we really 104 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: talk about it? How do we have an honest conversation 105 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: about this level of anger and vitriol in this country 106 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: at this moment. I've never experienced anything like this in America. Yeah, 107 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: there were times which were contentious in nature, and we 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: can look through history and look at other times in 109 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: which Americans were angry at each other. But this is 110 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: a different type of anger. This is Americans turning on 111 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: Americans in a way that I don't know if history 112 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: can do justice right now, and it breaks my heart. 113 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: This is supposed to be the day in which Americans 114 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: hopefully could come together, hopefully could express a greater love 115 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: and understanding and tolerance for one another. This is not 116 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: only symbolic. It's symbolic in the sense of celebrating how 117 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: this country began and celebrating freedom, celebrating in a way 118 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: the sacrifices of soldiers past and present to give us 119 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: this freedom and maintain our freedom as a nation as citizens. 120 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: But it's also substantive because it's an ongoing battle. It's 121 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: something that we have to think about and wrestle with 122 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: every single day. But as we talk about granting ourselves freedom, 123 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: we have to have a more earnest and honest conversation 124 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: about the issues which are going on in the country, 125 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: and that's not for today. I promise you that that 126 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: is not for today. But those are the things that 127 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: I got to think about, and I think you have 128 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: to think about, because this is not going to just 129 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: end with what happened today, because what happened today can 130 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: happen later today, can happen tomorrow and the day after that. 131 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: Of course, this person chose to fourth of July to 132 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: make a specific and particular statement. I don't know what 133 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: that is. I really don't know. I would call it 134 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism, because obviously you're trying to make a political 135 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: point on some level. You're trying to inspire fear, you 136 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: are trying to send a message to either a group 137 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: of people or a nation, as it were. I don't 138 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: know what to make of it, and sometimes I just 139 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: want to throw up my hands because it seems like 140 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: we can't do anything about it. This is not about 141 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: a gun debate, This is not about laws. This is 142 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: about who we are fundamentally as people, and we've seemingly 143 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: increasingly have lost our humanity and capacity to live with 144 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: one another on any level. And I know that sounds 145 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: almost hyperbolic in nature, but that's what it seems like. 146 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: That's what it feels like at this point. It feels 147 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: like we are rejecting each other as people, as Americans, 148 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: even on the day in which we should be able 149 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: to come together rather easily. Lie should be easy, It 150 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: really should be easy. It is a day of food, family, 151 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:13,239 Speaker 1: fireworks and fun for the most part, and then reality 152 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: has gotten in the way, and then America goes America 153 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: on America on America's birthday, if that makes any sense. 154 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: So everything I was going to say, I don't know. 155 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll get back to it eventually. There is a 156 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: press conference giving the latest on the shooting, the latest 157 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: status of the victims, those who are in the hospital, 158 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: and also the latest on the man hunt of this 159 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: guy eighteen to twenty years old. But at this point 160 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: all we can do is wait. We won't know what 161 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: the motivation is. We won't know why this has happened. 162 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: I don't care about the weapon which was used or 163 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: the magazine size. I don't care about any of that. 164 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: That's for you to debate. I'm just sad right now. 165 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: I'm sad at where this country is going and what 166 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: it has become. And I think it's emblematic that this 167 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: has happened on the fourth of July to highlight the problems, 168 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: the things that we're struggling with as a nation. This 169 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: is the Johnny Ken Show. I'm o Kelly inm for 170 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: John and kink IF I am six forty, Live everywhere 171 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. John Kin Show, Lookelly for Johnny 172 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: Kin on this Independence Day, k IF I am six forty. 173 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And just to 174 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: catch you up if you have not been listening, if 175 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: you're not aware, this search is ongoing for this mass 176 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: shooter who took to a rooftop to open fire on 177 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: a fourth of July parade in Highland Park, which is 178 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: about twenty five miles north of Chicago. And if you 179 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: take it from just that standpoint, someone who is on 180 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: the rooftop, that suggests reasonably so that there was a 181 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: degree of planning involved. This person probably staked out the 182 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: path probably weeks before or if not months before. And 183 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: if we want to look at what was done and 184 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: how it was done. To have that overwatch position that 185 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: vantage point, it makes it very difficult to combat against 186 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: or even just protect yourself. If bullets are raining down, 187 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily know which way to run or which 188 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: way to go, and I think everyone is shaken up 189 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: to a certain degree. I would be, and I think 190 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: it's fair to be concerned that just because it happened 191 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: in Chicago. When I say Chicago again as Highland Park, 192 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: that's just as a reference point, even though at this 193 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: point it has only been connected to that Chicago area. 194 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: It's reasonable to be concerned about celebrations all around the country, 195 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: all around the country, if only because a degree of 196 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: planning went into that event, which was not spontaneous in nature. 197 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: The reasonable question is if there's anything else which may 198 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: be planned in other places around the country. And this 199 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: is just an anecdotal conversation I had, And I don't 200 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: want to give this person's identification away because I don't 201 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: know if he wanted me to share it on the radio. 202 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: But I have a friend who semi recently retired from 203 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: the FBI, and he was a sharpshooter for the FBI, 204 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: and he would have to do events just like these, 205 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: where he would they would scan and look over these 206 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: parade routes and different celebrations and obviously monitor online chat 207 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: or to see if there was anything which may happen, 208 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: or if there was any indication that something was being 209 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: planned to happen. And I was asking him, I said, Hey, 210 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: how maybe many threats or how often do these things 211 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: happen that the general public just doesn't know about? And 212 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: he was saying, oh, you would be shocked and honestly 213 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: frightful at the amount of threats that are credible in 214 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: nature that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have 215 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: to follow up on on a consistent and a continue basis. 216 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: And I asked him, I said, well, are we getting 217 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: lucky or are we good at this? And he says, 218 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: there is not When I was, he said, when I 219 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: was working at the Bureau, he said, there was not 220 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: a night that I would sleep well before a holiday 221 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: or a major event, because we were always fearful. We 222 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: as in the Bureau, was fearful that we might have 223 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: missed something, or someone got smart enough air quote smart 224 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: enough to not let anyone know what he was planning 225 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: to do. So they were always sleepless nights for federal 226 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: agents the night before holidays, especially the fourth of July. 227 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: And I thought about that conversation immediately when the events 228 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: of Highland Park were announced on media and social media today, 229 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: and I think about that on a consistent basis more generally, 230 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: as we have these problems American to American, we on 231 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: some level think the election was stolen or we think 232 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: that that needs to be prosecuted. Regardless of your political 233 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: persuasion and affiliation, We're angry with each other in a 234 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: way that I've just not seen before, and it's becoming 235 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: more and more violent. I'm not trying to speak it 236 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: into existence. I think we're there at this point. I 237 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say that we are there. Hopefully 238 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: we can turn down the temperature, hopefully that this is 239 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: the last one, at least for a while. We can't 240 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: control human nature, we can't control free will, we can't 241 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: control criminals. But we can make it either less likely 242 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: or more difficult for these events to happen, and I 243 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: was hoping against hope. I was speaking to my wife 244 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: when I woke up this morning, and she was saying, so, 245 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: what are you going to talk about today? I said, well, 246 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: it's the fourth of July. There's usually not too much 247 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: going on. We may talk about holiday travel or you know, 248 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: the cost of gas, or places to watch firework show. 249 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: It's almost like paint by numbers in radio when you 250 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: do a holiday show, because there's usually not much to 251 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: talk about in terms of the news, and then all 252 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden, something like Highland Park happens and it 253 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: just changes everything. And then I went back broadcasting from 254 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: my home studio today and I went back downstairs not 255 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: too long ago, and I said to my wife's like, 256 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: you know that conversation we had earlier, Well, just qu 257 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: ahead and throw that out the window, because this is 258 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: hopefully the exception which proves the rule. But you never 259 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen in this country these days. 260 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: I just do know that the temperature is getting hotter 261 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: and hotter, and maybe this shooting was in the service 262 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: of that, in other words, to promote a higher degree 263 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: of tension and violence in this country. I don't know. 264 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: It wouldn't be the first time that that's happened, or 265 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: that motivation was used to complicate the situation and make 266 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: it worse. We don't know. We're presently waiting on hopefully 267 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: a press conference. I'm being told it could start in 268 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: the near future. We don't know. These things are very fluid, 269 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: So we're at the mercy of law enforcement agencies in 270 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Illinois when they begin, then we'll have it here for 271 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: you on KFI and hopefully we'll have a bit more 272 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: information as it's not only an ongoing investment investigation, it's 273 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: an ongoing man hunt as they're looking for this individual. 274 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: So I'm quite sure updating the public is probably not 275 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: going to be the priority because not only does it 276 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: impact of resources which are made available for the investigation. 277 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: You don't want to let out any information which may 278 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: unintentionally aid the person. Sorry to cut you off, but 279 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: we've got the press conference live right now from Let's 280 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: go to Chicago. Our Sure system you want to stare 281 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: as Sure. So for those of you didn't hear, just 282 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: a brief rundown of what occurred today here at Highland 283 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: Park Hospital. Shortly after the events that occurred in downtown 284 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: Highland Park, our team here at Highland Park Hospital was 285 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: notified of multiple victims that were involved in a mass 286 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: shooting or casualty event. Our team very quickly activated one 287 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: of our internal messaging codes called Code Yellow, which is 288 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: for mass Casualty and Trauma Response, to mobilize our surgical 289 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: teams to bring in other resources, and within a very 290 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: short amount of time started to receive a number of 291 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: ambulances from the Emergency Medical Services system. We received in 292 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: total about twenty six total patients, ten of which were 293 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: transported by ambulance during that time. In a very short 294 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: amount of time, we had nearly twenty additional physicians and 295 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: more than twenty additional nursing and support staff here in 296 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: our emergency department as well as in other areas of 297 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: the hospital to help take care of the patients that 298 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: were brought in, and all of those individuals came as 299 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: a result of following our protocols. We also put in 300 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: a extra safety or security protocol where we locked down 301 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: the hospital. Hence why we're meeting out here in the 302 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: parking lot as we continue to try to maintain a 303 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: very safe environment in our hospital for our patients and 304 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: our staff doctor. So, of the twenty six individuals that 305 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: showed up here at Highland Park Hospital, twenty five of 306 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: those did sustain gunshot wound injuries. Some of them were minor, 307 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: some of them were much more severe, and some of 308 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: those patients were in critical condition when they did arrive 309 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: here to the hospital. A commonality between the gunshots different 310 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: parts of the body. They were all different parts of 311 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: the body extremities as well as other more central parts 312 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: of the body as well. Do you have any specific 313 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: number on what conditions? Twenty five or n Yeah. So, 314 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: of the twenty five who came in with gunshot wounds, 315 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 1: nineteen of those individuals were able to be treated and 316 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: actually discharged home after they had had their full medical 317 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: evaluation and treatment. Uh. Several others did arrive in more 318 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: serious conditions and did have to be admitted. We had 319 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: one that had to be transferred over to Evanston Hospital 320 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: under the care of our great neurosurgical team. We had 321 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: a couple of other patients that need to be admitted 322 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: to either our traumasurgical team which are represented here, as 323 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: well as to some of our orthopedic trauma surgeons. Absolutely. So. 324 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: The age range ranged from about eight years old was 325 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: our youngest patient up to eighty five years old. How 326 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: many children, I can't give you a specific number on 327 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: the number of children, but it was definitely around four 328 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: or five. What happens you get that any gunshot vigures 329 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: coming in, well, we immediately have to make space for 330 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: all these patients to come in and hence why I 331 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: commented before how we use some internal processes to mobilize 332 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: resources are wonderful. Surgical and trauma staff were immediately alerted 333 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 1: through emergency messaging that we had a number of patients 334 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: that we're going to need emergency medical services and their evaluation. 335 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: On top of that, many other emergency physicians, pediatricians, internist surgeons, 336 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: trauma surgeons, anesthesiologists, and others were also notified and mobilized 337 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: to help take care of the number of patients that 338 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: we're coming in. Their staff works up. What is this 339 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: like to deal with such a well, I think, listen, 340 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of different events that have happened 341 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: in the United States, and this obviously now has hit 342 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: very close to home. It is a little surreal to 343 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: have to take care of an event such as this, 344 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: but all of us have gone through extensive training. We 345 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: go through a number of different programs training we have, 346 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: we practice for these events, even though we hope they 347 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 1: never happen, and so I think our team very admirably 348 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: handled the situation today. Of course, we provide services that 349 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: include social work, and we have others involved that our 350 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: team as well as our patients will have a chance 351 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: to talk to therapists and counselors to debrief after something 352 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: that is so traumatic. Doctor, anyone has a loved one 353 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: in the hospital, anything they need to know or families 354 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: all been over So families have all had the opportunity 355 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: to actually come into the hospital and wait. We had 356 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: liaison's working with those family members, and all of those 357 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: family members have been reunited with the patients that we're 358 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: here and treated at our north Shore Hospitals. Everybody from 359 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: the nursing staff and perhaps my boy, does anybody from 360 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: the nursing staff want to talk? Come on up. So 361 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: this is Barb Croak. She's one of our emergency medicine nurses. 362 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: She also does a number of administrative roles here at 363 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: north Shore and has a wealth of experience. Good afternoon, 364 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: tell us what it was like for So, we have 365 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: an amazing team of nurses who every day give one 366 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: thousand percent of their time and talent to their profession. 367 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: They all immediately go into emergency mode and they are 368 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: all they are trained in trauma and pediatric care as well. 369 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: They have extensive training. They're amazing people. They showed their 370 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: proof in COVID and now with this absolutely upsetting and 371 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: tragic mass shooting. They were they came to the call 372 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: to duty. They were fantastic, multiple nurses taking care of 373 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: one patient at a time because there's family members, emotional 374 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: support is needed, Advanced trauma care, advanced emergency care EMS personnel, 375 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: So amazing squad of nurses. Very proud of them. I'm very, 376 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: very thrilled to call them my colleagues. Yeah, we've been 377 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: listening to an update from doctors at the hospital treating 378 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: most of the victims from today's shooting. Send press conference 379 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: on the shooting in Highland Park. And if you didn't 380 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: catch all of that, there wasn't really anything on the 381 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: actual man hunt, the ongoing investigation. That didn't necessarily surprise 382 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: me and it shouldn't have surprised you. But we got 383 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: more information about the victims who were admitted to the hospital. 384 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: You might have heard in earlier reports that more than 385 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: twenty people had been admitted to the hospital with varying 386 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: ranges of injuries. The good news, if I can put 387 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: it in that context, the good news is that most 388 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: of those who were admitted have been dismissed and the 389 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: lease from the hospital. Nineteen were treated and discharged from 390 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: the hospital. One was transferred to Evanston hospital, and a 391 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: few were admitted for trauma care. In terms of ages, 392 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: the victims ranged in age as you would suspect for 393 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: a Fourth of July parade to run the Gamut, and 394 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: this was the case here. Victims ranged in age from 395 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: eight to eighty five. So although it seemed much more 396 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: dire in the sense of the numbers of people who 397 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: were originally admitted to the hospital with varying forms of injuries, 398 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: most of them are already out of the hospital and 399 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,719 Speaker 1: have been discharged. If there's any good news that I 400 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: can report, it would be that. So they're not going 401 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: to give us anything on the manhunt at this point, 402 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: we have to assume, and rightfully assume, that it is 403 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: ongoing and there is not someone in custody, or at 404 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 1: least they're not ready to release that information. Here are 405 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: some things that I would be thinking about given what 406 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: they're not telling us. I'm quite sure they're scouring at 407 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: least the people who were on the scene to see 408 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: if there's any type of self smartphone video. I've seen 409 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: some appear on social media, so I'm quite sure law 410 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: enforcement is trying to cobble all that together to get 411 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: some sort of information beyond just a general description to 412 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: see either where he came from or where he went 413 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: upon leaving the roof, and from there. I'm quite sure 414 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: since it was in a public area, there are probably 415 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: street cams and building cams which may offer some sort 416 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: of information or vantage point, or even traffic light camps. 417 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure. I'm not familiar with that particular 418 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: portion of the route, but I'm pretty sure that they're 419 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: probably meads, means and modes of way of being able 420 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: to ascertain who was where and at what point, and 421 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: probably get different angles of the shooting. From here, it's 422 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: going to be a waiting game, and I know no 423 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: one wants to hear that it's going to be your 424 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: waiting game. We're not going to be sure what is 425 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: going to happen, if they're going to be able to 426 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: apprehend them, or if they know who the person is. 427 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: And here's something else to remember. I'd meant to say this, 428 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: if and when they find out who it is, it 429 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that they're going to put out that information immediately, 430 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: especially if he is not in custody, if they have 431 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: a beat on where he is now, if they want 432 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: to do an all points bulletin on this individual and 433 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: crowdsource our help as the community and social media and 434 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: so forth. Then maybe, But I would not be surprised 435 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: if law enforcement already know who this person is and 436 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: they're tracking him accordingly. And I think the President is 437 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: speaking right out. Let's go to that. But that's we're 438 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: an idea, the only country based on an idea, not geography, 439 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: not religion, not ethnicity, but an idea. We're all credit equal. 440 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: The laws are instituted among people to protect the vulnerable, 441 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: to check those with power, and guarantee the pursuit of justice. 442 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: And to realize these promises requires a principal patriotism, a 443 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: patriotism and recognize that no person, no party, no interest, 444 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: can take pressure and over the American Project project offers 445 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: something on the shooting, some sort of perspective, but he's 446 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: not doing that. I guess he's just doing the pro 447 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: forma Fourth of July speech at this point. But I 448 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: was saying, I would not be surprised if the identity 449 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: of the shooter, or maybe someone has given a tip 450 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: about someone who they thought might have been involved or 451 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: likely to commit and act like this, and they're following 452 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: up on those leads and they law enforcement would not 453 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: tell us that information as of yet, if only it 454 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: probably compromises if they're trying to bear down on that individual. 455 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: I say all this to say that we're going to 456 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: have to sit tight, and we're going to have to 457 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: wait and see as this evolves. It may not be 458 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: a story which comes to an end on this evening. 459 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: We're not exactly sure when the next update is going 460 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: to be. So this is a story that, like you, 461 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: we are following in many aspects and respects, trying to 462 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,239 Speaker 1: figure out what the flow of information is going to be. 463 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: But I know the KFI News team is going to 464 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: be on it. I'll be here with you. We will 465 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: have the subsequent press conferences as they come in. And 466 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: this is something that just to go back to the 467 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: very beginning of the show, at the top of the hour, 468 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: was talking about I don't know about you, but I 469 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: thought today was going to go very differently. Okay, I'm 470 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: getting word that President Biden is now talking about the shooting. 471 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: So sorry to do this yo yo back and forth thing. 472 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: But now we're going to go back to the President. 473 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: The pandemic vaccines are nearly available to every American restrictions 474 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: lift to the fourth of July together again at the 475 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: White House. And for all the challenges, America as at 476 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: longest economy in the world, more people working in starting businesses, 477 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: more young people graduating from high school and college than 478 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: ever before. I just returned from an important trip the 479 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: military will understand to Europe, the NATO meeting. We're relying 480 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: on what we can do to rally the free world 481 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: to defend freedom. Before I left for Europe. Okay, we're 482 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: trying to get as much information for you as possible. 483 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes we get our wires crossed in the process because 484 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: I can't see the president, so someone is in my 485 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: ear telling me when the President is speaking. So we 486 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: want to make sure, as we were saying, we want 487 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: to make sure you get all the information in a 488 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: timely fashion. We just don't know when that information is 489 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: going to come to you, So I would recommend that 490 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: you keep it right here and you keep listening to 491 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: KFY And as we have the information, as we have 492 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: the press conferences, as we know more about the shooting 493 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: or the status of the victims, or the status of 494 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: the man hunt, then we'll pass it right along to you. 495 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: And this is something we're all going to have to 496 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: kind of deal with together. And what I was saying 497 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: before a President Biden so rudely interrupted me, not once, 498 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: but twice, was that we thought today was going to 499 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: go in an all together different direction. We thought that 500 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: this was just going to be and we had every 501 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: reason to believe to be that this was going to 502 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: be just a normal whatever that means, a normal Fourth 503 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: of July celebration. Maybe you have friends coming over to 504 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: your house today. Maybe you actually got out on the 505 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: road and you're driving in your car right now, listening 506 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: to KFI, and you're wondering what the hell is going 507 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: on in our country. We have more travelers this year, 508 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm told and what I've read than since twenty eighteen 509 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: and twenty nineteen, obviously before the pandemic, but those were 510 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: record high years. And I guess the good news in 511 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: that regard is if we're getting back to that, then 512 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: things are, in a more national sense, getting back to normal. 513 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: It's it's a you know, it's inch by inch, just 514 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: not these big steps that they're usually these small steps 515 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: and these small indicators letting us know that hopefully the 516 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: pandemic is more in the rear view window. I mean, 517 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm not pushing aside the numbers that we've been hearing lately, 518 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: the rising hospital numbers in Los Angeles County. But as 519 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: far as how we live our day to day lives, 520 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: yes we can get our booster, you know. Yes we 521 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: can mask up if we so feel that that's necessary, 522 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: but hopefully it doesn't stop us from living our lives. 523 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,239 Speaker 1: I think we've done all we can do prior to 524 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: this moment. Now we just have to learn how to 525 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: live with the vaccine, excuse me, live with the disease 526 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: and do the things which can mitigate and lessen its 527 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: impact on our day to day lives. So when I 528 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: got up this morning, I thought it was going to 529 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: be a discussion of you know, holiday travel, how people 530 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: were going to be moving about to and from today, 531 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: maybe check in with Tim Conway Junior and see what 532 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: Beach was like at the parade and everything. And then 533 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: to have this news come down, it just turns everything 534 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: and everyone around It's like what And then you think 535 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: about what's been going on in this country and you realize, yeah, 536 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: it's not as surprising unfortunately as maybe it would have 537 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: been any other time. I'm glad. When I say I'm glad, 538 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: I know that it could have been so much worse 539 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: when you're talking about someone in an overwatch position shooting 540 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 1: down into a crowd of people on a parade route 541 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: when there's really no cover, literally no cover. The fact 542 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: that at this point only six people were killed, and 543 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: I say this very respectfully, it could have been so 544 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: much worse, so much worse, And the fact that it 545 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: was that I try to find the good wherever we can, 546 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: and the fact that only six people at this point 547 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: were killed, I look as something positive coming out of this. 548 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: It was not maximum a death and destruction. It could 549 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: have been so much worse, and I'm thankful on this 550 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: day that at least we can report that the number 551 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: of the death toll at this point is rather minimal 552 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: given what it could have been. But again to recapitulate, 553 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: we are going to be following all the events in Highland. 554 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: We may go in and out as far as press conferences, 555 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: We may break away from just a discussion of the 556 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: shooting for a while, but just know that between the 557 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: KFI newsroom and me, we will have the latest information 558 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: for you. So just keep it right here and keep 559 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: it on KFI, and we will get through all this together. 560 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: Just like every other time. Unfortunately, just we're gonna have 561 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: to do it together. And I guess maybe maybe that 562 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: is the real message of the fourth of July, that is, 563 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: if we come together as Americans, then we can be 564 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: successful in anything that we wish to do here in America. 565 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: This is the John and Kin Show. I'm O Kelly 566 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: in for John and k K. I am six forty. 567 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app Otellia for 568 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: Johnny k IF. I am six forty, Live everywhere on 569 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Shout out to Carl Graphics, guy who 570 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: hit me on Twitter. He hit me at mister m O'Kelly, 571 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: Mr m ok E L L Y. I was talking 572 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: about the whole idea of what a normal Independence Day 573 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: was prior to this year and what it may be 574 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: going forward. And I think everyone woke up with this 575 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: idea of you know, food, family, fireworks, fun, just relatively 576 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: nondescript in that nature. And then we had the news 577 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: of the shooting and I think it fundamentally changes how 578 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 1: we go about the rest of this Independence Day. But 579 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: he hit me on Twitter and he sent me this 580 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: clip which I just retweeted. How even at hot dog 581 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: competitive eating contests. They had a jerk get loose and 582 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: try to commandeer the stage with a sign saying something political. 583 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,280 Speaker 1: I have no idea what it was. It was fleeting. 584 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: But then they beat his ass down, which I'm glad 585 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: they did because he wanted to, you know, take over 586 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: the event so he can put up his sign or whatever. 587 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: But it just seems like that's where we are now. 588 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: We have just lost our collective, ever loving minds. I 589 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: can't tell you why that is. I won't even hazard 590 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: a guess. I won't even try to prognosticate what the 591 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: future may hold. I'm just going to say, as I've 592 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: said before, that we just have this level of instability, 593 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: this distaste for one another as Americans, and to see 594 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: it play itself out like this on Independence Day, it's 595 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: kind of hard for me to deal with. Just got 596 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, it's kind of hard to 597 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: really either rationalize, to understand, or even explain where we 598 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: are emotionally as a country. It just seems like we 599 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: are so angry about everything and everyone, and there's the 600 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: only way the only way that we can be happy 601 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: is to be unhappy. But I will say this in 602 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: the hours that I've had to be able to sit 603 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,240 Speaker 1: and emotionally deal with, wrestle with, and even pray about 604 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: what happened in Highland Park, Illinois. I'm once again reminded 605 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: that I need to be more active in my situational awareness. 606 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: When I go out in public. It used to be 607 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: with thought like, well, you know, if it happens where 608 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: you are, there's not a lot you can do as 609 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: far as a mass shooting is concerned, and that's just 610 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: maybe wrong place, wrong time. There's not a lot you 611 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: can do to prepare for it. And then I had 612 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: to remind myself the first rule of self defense is 613 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: just being aware of your surroundings. Is something like Illinois 614 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: going to change how I live my life from day 615 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: to day. Absolutely not. If I feel the desire to 616 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: go to, let's say, a Dodger game, or to a 617 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: parade or just maybe the Hollywood Bowl or some sort 618 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: of public gathering in which they're a thousand people or more, 619 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to do that. But I'm not going to 620 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: do that and also disregard the moment in which we live. 621 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that and act like it 622 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: could not happen where I am at that moment at 623 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,959 Speaker 1: that particular time, because I think if anything in which 624 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: we should have known or come to know at this 625 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: point is that it is indiscriminate in nature. It does 626 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 1: not matter where you are. It does not matter who 627 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: you are, does not matter your economic strata, it does 628 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: not matter your ethnicity, it does not matter where you live. 629 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: You can be a victim of a mass shooting at 630 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: any time anywhere. When I say you, that includes your children, 631 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: That includes where you worship, includes where you hang out. 632 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: If you should go to a bar, go to the movies, 633 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: it does not matter. The only thing you can control 634 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: is your level of awareness, possibly an escape route, and 635 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 1: go from there. That's all you really can do. You 636 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: can't necessarily even prepare for the circumstances in which it 637 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: may unfold. You know, you could have gone to that 638 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,760 Speaker 1: parade route today and said, what if there's a mass shooter, 639 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: But then there's someone on a roof across the street. 640 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: Your options are limited. There are only so many things 641 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: that you can do. But I think fundamentally it does hopefully. 642 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: What I mean hopefully is hopefully it inspires you to 643 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: be more active and to be more serious about your surroundings. 644 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: Whenever you go out, and that should have been rule 645 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: of thumb even before this time in America, but now 646 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: sometimes we need these real painful reminders. This is what 647 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: it's got to be for every single one of us, 648 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: regardless of where you are. It's not even a function 649 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: of whether you have a gun. It's more function of 650 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 1: whether you want to be at a place of greater 651 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: disadvantage or less disadvantage. You just have to be aware. 652 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: And there's just certain things that I just don't do anymore, Like, 653 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: for example, I just don't go out to bars anymore. 654 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a function of just meaning being older, and 655 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to go to a place where historically 656 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: bad things may happen, you know, go out to a bar. 657 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 1: You know, bad stuff usually happens at a bar, especially 658 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: late at night. So I do curate where I go 659 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: in a small sense. But as far as mass shootings go, 660 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 1: I am more actively aware. And this is a discussion 661 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: I do have with my family. It's like, hey, if 662 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 1: you're going to go somewhere, just be aware, just know 663 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 1: what's going on, know what's around. You know, if if 664 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: the crowd is getting so thick that you may not 665 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: have the ability to run to move, or there's a 666 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: greater likelihood of there being a stampede. Those are the 667 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: things that I actively think about all the time. And 668 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: it's sad. It's sad, honestly, it's sad that we have 669 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 1: to think about that here in America. But that's where 670 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: we are. That's the reality of America in twenty twenty two, 671 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: where a mass shooting could jump off any where at 672 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: any time for any reason. Now we can say that 673 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: July fourth is there's a higher likelihood of a mass 674 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: shooting or a terrorist act for the day being a target, 675 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: But historically that doesn't mean anything. That's not going to 676 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: make any difference. You know, September eleventh wasn't a holiday. 677 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,919 Speaker 1: Per se these things, and I'm going to intentionally group 678 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: terrorism with these mass shootings, which are a form of 679 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,959 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism. We have to look at them all the same. 680 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: And if we're going to protect ourselves, I think part 681 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 1: of it comes with just being able to be aware 682 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: of our surroundings and situations. But I would not want 683 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: you to change your path. I would not want you 684 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: to change your plans. If you're going to go to 685 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: a firework show tonight, I say go, I say go. 686 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: I say, take the family, and I'm being told we 687 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: have another press conference, so we're going to go to 688 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: that right now. Burnament is still there. Anybody that's been 689 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: separated or looking for family, they should be going there. 690 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: That was a silver Can you see? His name is Robert. 691 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,280 Speaker 1: He goes by Bobby middle initial e IS and Edward 692 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: Cremo cr I M O the third. He's twenty two, 693 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: and again he's believed to be driving a twenty ten 694 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: silver Honda Fit Illinois license DM eight zero six five three. Okay, 695 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: about an hour six o'clock, we'll be back up with 696 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: more updates and we'll let you know how our apprehension 697 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: efforts are going. Thank you. Six o'clock. We believe we 698 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,840 Speaker 1: just got quite an update from authorities there now the 699 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,800 Speaker 1: first time very specific information there. They actually release the 700 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: name of the suspect and also the car in which 701 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 1: he allegedly is driving. Robert Cremo. I think I have 702 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: this correctly, Sr I MO the third. He's drive twenty 703 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: ten Honda Fit, not that he would be driving in 704 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 1: your area specifically, but I'm just giving you the information 705 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: which was released by authorities. So from the last press conference, 706 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 1: which was about maybe fifteen twenty minutes ago. I was saying, like, 707 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: they're not going to release that information unless they know 708 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: that information and they need help from you and me 709 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 1: per se crowdsourcing information to get this guy, or they 710 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: know where he is and they won't release the information 711 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 1: so they don't tip it off that law enforcement knows 712 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: who he is. So obviously this guy is in the 713 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: win and they want the public, you and me to 714 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: be able to help. They're looking for Robert Kremo, the third, 715 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: who is twenty two years old. He's driving a twenty 716 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,839 Speaker 1: ten Honda Fit. That's all we know at this point 717 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: as far as who, we don't necessarily know, the why, 718 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: we don't know the what we don't necessarily know. Well, 719 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: put this way, if they know the vehicle, they probably 720 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: know the direction of the vehicles because of traffic lights, 721 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: traffic cams, things of that nature. They're probably tracking any 722 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: number him any number of ways, so they're probably closer 723 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: to him than they will probably let on. We'll continue 724 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: to follow the story as we get more information. They 725 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: said they were going to have another press conference at 726 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 1: six o'clock I imagine that Central time, which is an 727 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: hour from now, so we'll probably pick up that story 728 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: at that point, and also if there's something that should 729 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: break in between time, the KFI twenty four hour newsroom 730 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: will have that for you.
