And we have so many 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: things stacked up here. They're like planes stacked up at Lax. 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna get right to it. First 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: thing up, there was another day of Trump and his trial. 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: Another day is stormy Daniels testimony, at least the first 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: half of the day. And let's go to Dave Packer, 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: ABC News reporting out of New York on the trial. Dave, 11 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: how are you. 12 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 3: I'm doing well. 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, we had another day, another stormy day in New York. 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 3: But it's over. 15 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 4: It's over now, finally passed the storms, the storms of 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 4: the past. 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 18 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 4: She testified for all of the morning. They took a 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 4: break for lunch, and then a little bit after that 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 4: in Phils. He finally, after after testifying, cross examination and 21 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 4: redirect all of that all throughout the you know, her testimony, 22 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 4: there was some pretty aggressive questioning by Susan Necklace, who's 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 4: the one of the defense attorneys for Trump, and she 24 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 4: was Daniels oftentimes, you know, defiant in her responses. You know, 25 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 4: they were really trying to attack her credibility, basically saying 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 4: that you know, she she changed her story that she's 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 4: just in this for money. And then they talked about 28 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 4: how she was hawking merchandise online and you know, and 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 4: so this is this is kind of this back and forth. 30 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 4: Daniels didn't It's funny. At some times she seemed very forceful. 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 4: Other times she seemed like she was sort of on 32 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 4: the verge of tears. But I could imagine, you know, 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 4: this is sort of the the the crescendo of this, 34 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 4: you know, and a half long face. 35 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Well, when you have a defense attorney across examining you 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: relentlessly down on you, after a while, it's you got 37 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: to feel like you're going to crack at some point, emotionally, absolutely. 38 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 4: And and so she finished her testimony and then the 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 4: Trump team they re reanimated her effort to get a mistrial, 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 4: and they've submitted that. And now so they broke at 41 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: four o'clock. They stopped witness testimony as the judge considers 42 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 4: this request. Again, this goes back to Tuesday's testimony, where 43 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 4: Stormy Daniels, understand was sort of making the implication that 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 4: the sexual tryst was not entirely consensual, and that she 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 4: sort of felt like she didn't have a choice, and 46 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 4: that the defense thought was, you know, a bridge too 47 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 4: far and sullied the reputation, if you will, former president 48 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: at least in terms of this. 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, I mean, she didn't quite come 50 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: out and say that, but that was I guess the 51 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: undertone of our testimony that she had blacked out, she 52 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: didn't know how she got there, and that. 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 4: There was this power imbalance that you know, she she 54 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: was there, here's a guy who, you know, is this 55 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 4: celebt and at the time wasn't the president, but of 56 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 4: course he was, you know, a very rich man, and 57 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 4: there was security all outside the door, and she just 58 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 4: sort of didn't know what to do. And of course 59 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 4: the defense coming along and saying, well, hold on a second, 60 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 4: you're a porn star, aren't you sort of used to 61 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 4: this sort of thing. So that that's the kind of 62 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 4: testimony that was going back and forth. 63 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: Thought that hit me and maybe it's because OJ died 64 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and so it was top of mind. 65 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: Is in the way that the OJ trial got derailed 66 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: and became a trial on Mark Furman for a while, 67 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: it seems like the. 68 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: Case about Trump. 69 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Making misapplying the entry into his business logs, calling it 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: a legal charge or a legal payment instead of a payout. 71 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: To store me Daniels that we've gotten derailed, and we 72 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: got on their bed, We got in the middle of 73 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: their tryst on the bed and this this really is 74 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: not all that I realized. You have to set it 75 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: up right, you have to set up Okay, here was 76 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: the relationship, that's what led to the payment. But the 77 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: alleged crime is about the payment. It's not about how 78 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: they had sex and how they felt about it afterwards. 79 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: And I feel like it's just gotten off the rails. 80 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and there was there's always that danger. I mean, 81 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 4: the prosecution must have known that putting Stormy Daniels up 82 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: on the stand. I mean, you know, she's not an 83 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 4: expert on finance. She's an expert on something else, and 84 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 4: she's going to talk about what she knows, and that's 85 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 4: basically what she did up there. So the question is, 86 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 4: you know, it was too much to kind of set 87 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 4: that stage, like you're saying, you know, we started to 88 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: know what happened. Yeah, you know, I don't know. They've 89 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 4: gone back, of course, you know now we've got medel 90 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 4: In Westerhouse, who was the gatekeeper for the president. She 91 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 4: was the last witness today before they adjourned the jury, 92 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 4: and she was talking about she saw checks going back 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 4: and forth that the president was signing. 94 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: She was there seeing who was meeting. 95 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 4: With the president. She had the short list of people 96 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 4: who were supposed to talk to the president, and Michael 97 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 4: Kohane was on that list. I think they're going to 98 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: want to get back to that, and certainly, you know, 99 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 4: but your point is definitely valid. I mean, how much 100 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 4: of that is relevant to the case. And maybe some 101 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 4: of that stuff, you know, turns off members of the jury. 102 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of weird because the defense team is 103 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: asking one marich On for a mistrial now, and if 104 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: he granted a mistrial, he would be admitting an error. 105 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: I screwed up by allowing all this testimony into the 106 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: trial and not stopping it. 107 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, well, I think that what he was 108 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 4: saying the first time they were calling for a mistrial, 109 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 4: he was saying, Look, it's your responsibility as a defense 110 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 4: to you know, object in court, and you certainly could 111 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 4: do that, and you didn't do that. And he sort 112 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 4: of kind of put it on them that that's what 113 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 4: they should have did. But you know, again, we're going 114 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 4: to have to see that if they have any new 115 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: arguments today for the mistrial, or if it's going to 116 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 4: be the same one they had on Tuesday. 117 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: But this does give them a lot of material for 118 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: an appeal if he got convicted. 119 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 120 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: Absolutely, And you have to assume that this was going 121 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 4: to be appealed no matter what. 122 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: Right I mean, if if there was a guilty verdict. 123 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: I mean it right, Donald Trump. 124 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: You know, most appeals don't have any real, any real 125 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: point to them. It's appeal of just going through the motions. 126 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: But it looks like they they're building up a pretty 127 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: good case that the jury could have been inflamed by 128 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: describing Trump's sexual demeanor here. 129 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think you're right. 130 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: I think, you know, putting story on Daniels on the 131 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 4: on the stand, you're playing with fire, and. 132 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: You know, she she's she just kind of went on. 133 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: Uh that, you know, very she talked very fast, She talked, 134 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 4: you know, very very explicitly about about what happened. And 135 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: you have to think that they must have had you know, 136 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 4: pre trial coaching and talking about how you know, what 137 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 4: was going to be set up there. I don't know 138 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: how much of it was unplanned or this is part 139 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 4: of their plan. I don't know, but you know, you 140 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 4: you know there's definitely a point to be made that 141 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 4: maybe it was too much. 142 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: All right, Dave Packard, thanks very much, ABC News on 143 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: the Trump trial in New York City. I I just 144 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: I just couldn't help ye. I'm trying to like separate 145 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: and if you're going to look at this this trial fairly, 146 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: and most people are not going to there put aside 147 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: your feelings for Trump, whether you like him or not, 148 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: just look at look at the legal case here. It's 149 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: it's it's a paperwork crime, all right. He should have 150 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: written one thing to explain the one hundred and thirty 151 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: thousand dollars he paid to Michael Cohen, which was paid 152 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: to Stormy Daniel. He wrote another thing, and he wrote 153 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: it to cover it up, and that that is that 154 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: that's simply not a felony. And they made up this 155 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: pretext that well, he was trying to influence the election. 156 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: It's a federal election violation. No, it's not, all right. 157 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: He covered up a payment to a porn star because 158 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: it was a payment to a porn star, and so 159 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: otherwise the statute of limitations on the misdemeanor is gone. 160 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: It's already passed. The only reason they were allowed to 161 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: charge it is because they had to tie it to 162 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: a felony and not a state felony, a federal felony, 163 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: a federal election law violation that the federal government had 164 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: passed on. This is total nonsense. This is a total 165 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: political witch hunt. I think the sway Trump would put it, 166 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: and he's right on this. This this is a garbage trial. 167 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: But who knows what you get with the jury. Oj 168 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: got off. Ojai got off in part because judg Edo 169 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: was a weak judge and allowed the case to get 170 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: derailed and became a Mark Furman and merch On is 171 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: like a reincarnation of Edo, although I think Edo is 172 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: still alive, but it's the same thing. He's a weak judge, 173 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: talks tough to Trump, But when you've got a porn 174 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: star prattling on about a sex act she had with 175 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: Donald trump's completely irrelevant to what again, you have to 176 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: factually set up that. Okay, there wasn't a fair there 177 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: was a tryst, and that's why there was a reason 178 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: to pay her off. But once you've established that they 179 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: were in the room together and they were up to 180 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: no good, now to go on and on for two days. 181 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: It's got nothing to do with what he filled out 182 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: on his business records. It doesn't. You wouldn't want to 183 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: be caught up in something like that where you put 184 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: the wrong notation in your checkbook and it turns into 185 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: a federal felony because you're trying to cover up something 186 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: from your spouse. 187 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: It's nonsense, all right.

I don't know, but 239 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: hers her parents are probably throwing themselves into traffic. Now 240 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: in shame, she announces that she's chosen a hunger strike 241 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: and says this is absolutely unfair. It's absolutely unfair that 242 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: she chose a hunger strike. It's the university's fault that 243 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: she's starving because they won't listen to her business advice 244 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: and divest their stocks and whatever companies do business with Israel, 245 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: so that's unfair. And then she says, my peers and 246 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: I we are starving. Well, then go and get something 247 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: to eat.

That was the 252 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 7: best immunal compromise. Now she's already immunal compermence. Well, she's 253 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 7: certainly mentally compromised. Or does she think the hunger is 254 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 7: making her immunal compromise, because yes, your immune system. 255 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: Takes a hit when you stop eating for days. 256 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm listening to this.

In fact, this morning 301 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 8: I walked up against the fence line to this RV 302 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 8: park and it looked like a war zone. All these 303 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 8: RVs were just burnt to the ground, really just left 304 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 8: to a crisp. And when I spoke with the battalion 305 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 8: chief this morning with the Santa Fe Springs Fire Department, 306 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 8: he told me the chemicals that make up RVs are 307 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 8: highly flammable, and that what they're suspecting is that this 308 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 8: fire began in one of the RVs and then just 309 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 8: spread to the others, and that firefighters were actually really 310 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 8: lucky in this situation, that the winds were really calm 311 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 8: this morning. The battalion chief told me this could have 312 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 8: been a much more serious situation if winds were blowing 313 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 8: any harder than they were given the fact that there 314 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 8: was no wind. It took firefighters more than an hour 315 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 8: still to put out the fire, and this included an 316 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 8: aerial ladder to attack the fire. The battalion chief told 317 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 8: me he was working on this himself. 318 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 2: Do you have a clip here?

So 329 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 8: this took this broke out around twelve thirty this morning, because. 330 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: They are just sitting there obviously uninhabited. So what would 331 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: cause a spontaneous combustion like that in the middle of 332 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: the night. 333 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 8: Well, what I can tell you is that and we 334 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 8: can get into this.

But you know, there are a lot 401 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 8: of other businesses in the area. Santa Fe Springs has 402 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 8: a lot of industry. And today when I was moving 403 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 8: off the scene and driving back to the back to 404 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 8: the five Freeway, I was looking just outside the car 405 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 8: window and along those train tracks near a lot of 406 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 8: these businesses. 407 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: There's a much larger encampment. 408 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 8: This is just down the road. 409 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: A little ways. I saw a lot. 410 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 8: Of homeless people, a lot of tents set up this 411 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 8: So I'm wondering that the jurisdiction along the way, I 412 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 8: believe this would be the city of Santa Fe Springs. 413 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 8: I'm really curious to see exactly, you know, if they're 414 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 8: going to determine that this was somebody who broke onto 415 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 8: the property and you know, and started a fire. And 416 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 8: keep in mind, this is a huge blow to this 417 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 8: RV store. You know, these are covered by insurance, each 418 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 8: of these RVs, but think about this, in terms of sales, 419 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 8: these arevs cost anywhere between one hundred and a hundred 420 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 8: and eighty thousand dollars I was quoted today. Now they 421 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 8: are covered by insurance, but the problem is for this 422 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 8: company is they don't manufacture a lot of these, so 423 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 8: it's going to be really hard to replace that that inventory. 424 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 8: They don't just print a bunch of RVs like pencils. 425 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 2: You got any idea how many RVs are on the lot. 426 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 8: A couple hundred, I would say a couple one hundred, 427 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 8: So this was probably And I saw one report. I 428 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 8: didn't get this update. I tried to get this update 429 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 8: that said twenty RVs. So I saw an updated number 430 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 8: about twenty, so i'd be about ten percent of the inventory. 431 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's bad. But again it's if what she's 432 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: saying is true. It's the idiots that run Santa Fe Springs, 433 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: unnamed idiots who they get a call saying, hey, we 434 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 1: got homeless people barbecuing. Police ought to be sent out immediately, 435 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: and those guys ought to be arrested and put in 436 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: jail and charged because there's way too many damaging fires 437 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: coming out of these stupid barbecues. Or maybe it was arson, 438 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: maybe it was revenge. In any event, the police should 439 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: be showing up and clearing these people out immediately. They 440 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: should have twenty four hour sweeps going on to get 441 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: them all out away from the railroad tracks and no 442 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: more excuses that Blake. Thanks for coming on all right, 443 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: Thanks John, Blake Trolie with KFI News. 444 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI Am 445 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: six forty. 446 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: Coming up after two o'clock. 447 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: You know, these all these progressive experiments have got to 448 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: end and no further discussion because they're failures. And we're 449 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: going to talk about another failure coming up after two o'clock. 450 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: The You know, there was a teenager who got shot 451 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: and killed at Washington Prep High School in South LA 452 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks back, and it's because one of 453 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: the security guards that was assigned to the campus didn't 454 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: bother to intervene in a fight. In fact, there are 455 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: three security guards that did nothing. Parents are sick of 456 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: this security guard nonsense. They want armed police back on 457 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: the campuses. But part of the anti police, defund the 458 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: police movement is they got the cops off the campuses. 459 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: So at the bad schools, what do you think happened? 460 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: There's been more shootings, more students with guns, more stabbings, 461 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: more drugs. You can't live without police in cities like La. 462 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: It's impossible. You have you must have them otherwise, Yeah, 463 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna get shootings and stabbings and deaths and drugs. 464 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: We're going to talk to the La La School Police 465 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: Association President Gil Gamez, who says flat out the experiment 466 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: didn't work. And we're going to talk about this because 467 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: a lot of parents are angry and upset. Normal people 468 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: want the police. Normal people want as much police as 469 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: is necessary to keep things peaceful and safe. And it's 470 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: only these weird progressive fanatics who are really ruining, ruining everything, 471 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: and it's time. It's time to overwhelm them, overpower them. 472 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: We tried their experiments. Experiments are failures. They suck no good. 473 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: And another one of these experiments that have failed is 474 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: indulging the homeless, having the vagrants live in the streets. 475 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: Because we've got a new new report from the La 476 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: County Health Department. This is Barbara Ferrer. I can't believe 477 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: Barbara Ferair still exists. How does he still exist? Good lord. 478 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: So they have a new death rate of homeless people 479 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: because homeless people don't live in the streets, they die 480 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: in the streets, and the death rate is up two percent. 481 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: Oh my god, these are all numbers twenty twenty two. 482 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: This is a new story that came out today. These 483 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: are there. This is the death rate in twenty twenty two. 484 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: How long does it take to count all the dead 485 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: bodies in the street? Does it really take two years? Anyway, 486 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: the death rate was up two percent, and they were 487 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: happy about it because the previous two years it had 488 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: gone up fifty six percent. And they go, well, it's plateauing. 489 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: It's platelling. Don't you now this? See the death rate 490 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: is plateauing. It's getting better. It's like, wait a second, 491 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: you had over a fifty percent increase in two years 492 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: and it's still going up. Here's the leading cause of 493 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: death drug and alcohol overdose. Because why are people homeless 494 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: because there are drugs and alcohol? It's not because they 495 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: it's not because a lack of housing in Los Angeles. 496 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: That's false. That's a lie. That's propaganda. It's nonsense. You 497 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: believe that you're brainwashed or you're stupid. I'll give you 498 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt and say you were brainwashed 499 00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: by some progressive It's it's false. Overdose is overwhelming. It's 500 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: the leading cause of death of men, women, white, Latino, black. 501 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 2: Homeless, all the homeless. Okay, so we've got diversity there. 502 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: Drugs and alcohol is killing homeless of all races and ethnicities. 503 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 2: And sexualities. 504 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: Percentage of overdose deaths involving fentanyl rise rose in twenty 505 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: twenty two and proving another point while he was talking 506 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: about eight percent of deaths fourth leading cause transportation related injuries. 507 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 2: What does that mean? They're run over by cars? 508 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: You know how they're trying to impose road diets in 509 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: the city of Los Angeles, calling out pedestrian deaths are 510 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: at an all time No, the homeless people keep getting 511 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: run over. Why because they're whacked out on drugs and alcohol, 512 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: so they stumble into the streets in the dark and 513 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: get run over, flattened, and they want they want road 514 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: diets on us, the rest of us who go to 515 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: work every day. Now, all these people, I sound like 516 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: a broken record because I am all these people on drugs. 517 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: This is not my fault, This is not your fault, 518 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: It is not society's fault. It is their fault. They 519 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: took the drugs in the alcohol, and then we're being 520 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: beat on every day to give them a house. But 521 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: they can't get a house until they get off the 522 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: drugs and alcohol. But they're not forced in treatment, so 523 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: they die in the streets, and then we're told it's 524 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: our fault. 525 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 2: No, it's not. It's not. 526 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: They might be able to get some kind of shelter 527 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: if they get off the drugs and alcohol. That's usually 528 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: one of the rules. This is just crazy. What are 529 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: they gonna give up on this? They're killing these we have, 530 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: Barbara fa Rare. She was prattling here.

Inequity, yes, no kidding. 533 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 2: People who go. 534 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: To work and pay for a house are going to 535 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: be in a better in a better healthy environment then 536 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,719 Speaker 1: people who live out in the gutter and take drugs 537 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: all day. But the way she phrases it, it's our fault, 538 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: it's my fault, it's your fault. 539 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 2: There's inequities. Yes, there's inequities. 540 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: Of course there is, because we are earning money and 541 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: we're trading the money for a house or an apartment. 542 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: They have chosen not to earn money or to take 543 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: their whatever government stipends they get and trade it in 544 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: for drugs and alcohol. Yes, we are going to live 545 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: healthier and they are not. It's nothing we can do 546 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: about it. We're busy working all day making money, and 547 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: then we should be able to spend it on ourselves. 548 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to spend it on them. I don't 549 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: We've given them enough, hasn't worked.
