And did 11 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: you see this video? It's pretty hysterical. Not if you 12 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: own the place, that's what you get. In Karen Bassetti's 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: Lawless Los Angeles. 14 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 3: Yes, but that's not LA. Whoever not part of LAP. 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's LA creates the problem for all the 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: surrounding cities. 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: Well, I think part of the problem is it's the 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: Sheriff's department and there isn't really enough of them to 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: cover all the places they're supposed to cover. 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: But if Los Angeles would throw, would prosecute and throw 21 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: everybody in jail, if they wouldn't put up with any 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: nonsense inside its borders, all the cities around Los Angeles 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: would have been in a much healthier situation. 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,839 Speaker 2: Mister law and order, you'd take an absolute law and order. 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: That's what works now. There's no alternative to that. We've 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: tried everything. It's all a failure. So grow up, be 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: immature person, and accept law and order is the only 28 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: way to go in a civilized society. 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: Well, we're looking at the opposite. 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: We told you last week that there were so many 31 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: politicians in elected office in California now who have decided 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: that nobody should be going to prison or jail that 33 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 2: it's difficult to imagine even a story like this. Mayor 34 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: Bessetti is supposed to make her State of the City 35 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: speech later on today, and one of the things that 36 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: she'll actually talk about is adding more police officers to LAPD. 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: We can ignore the stupid part of the story, which 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: has been around for years, this magic ten thousand number. 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: I don't know why. 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: That's because it's a real big round number, I guess, 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: and silly human beings are attracted to. If you see 42 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: crime going up and you see shortages of police officers, 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: you just tire them. There's no magic ceiling or floor 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: on this. It's just something you have to keep doing 45 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: until you realize that that John is right. 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: We have law and order. 47 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: So they've always touched on this ten thousand police officer. 48 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: And when Tony Vallar was mayor, that's what he wanted 49 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: to do. When they got the force up over nine thousand. 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: He was big on big round numbers. I'm going to 51 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: fill a million potholes, I'm gonna plant a million trees. 52 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have ten thousand police officers. Because he was 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: a simplistic boob, and for some people that simplifies the 54 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: story if they just hear a number, Oh okay, ten 55 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: thousand police officers, and magically will all be safe, there'll 56 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: be no crime. Of course that isn't true either, But 57 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: when things start slipping, because a lot of police officers 58 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 2: have been moving on. Clearly the last three years has 59 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: been particularly difficult to be in law enforcement. 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: So some have taken. 61 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: Early retirement, or some are just up for the retirement, 62 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 2: or others have said I'd rather just not be doing this. 63 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: Black Lives Matter defund the police crowd did tremendous damage 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 2: to our police department because once Garcetti took the knee 65 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: and said that LAPD was made up of killers. 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 3: The killers that we are. 67 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: Who's going to go to work the next day? Right, 68 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: because now you have given a message to all the 69 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: crazy people and the criminals out there that hey, you 70 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: could make up any wild story about a cop abusing 71 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: the citizen and Garcetti's gonna believe it, and Blim is 72 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: gonna advertise it, and your career is shot or you 73 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: might actually be shot. So it's like, you go home, 74 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: you find something else to do. Why would you want 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: to do that. I wouldn't want to do that. I 76 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: don't blame the cops for quitting and retiring early. They've 77 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: been treated so badly by all the lunatics and the 78 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: politicians in the city. It's like, good, have it your way. 79 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: Let's add mayhem. 80 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: So the call here will not be ten thousand officers, 81 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: but to get the department up to nine thousand, five hundred. 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: Right now, it says due to recruitment and retention problems, 83 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: LAPD could fall below nine thousand officers in the coming months, 84 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: So we're really talking about probably adding hundreds, not thousands, 85 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: if that's the way some people read the headline. 86 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: Well, in twenty nineteen we had over ten thousand. Now 87 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: we have a little over nine thousand, so there's about 88 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: one thousand missing, right, So she. 89 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: Wants to get it to ninety five hundred, so it'd 90 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: be about five hundred. 91 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 4: Is what. 92 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: For nearly a year, the department has been budgeted for 93 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: nine thousand, four hundred and sixty officers, so her tiring 94 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: target only represents an increase of forty. 95 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right. 96 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: Right now, they're probably hovering around nine thousand, ninety one 97 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: hundred tenty two hundred. 98 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: You notice that though she gets a big headline, Bass 99 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: wants to rebuild LAPD adding hundreds of officers. Actually, we'll 100 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: just end up with forty more. Actually, staffing budget is 101 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: to stay waiting forty we're gonna end up with five 102 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: hundred less than we had four years ago, and only 103 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: forty more than we currently have. Yeah, and the problem 104 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: isn't I mean, just a staffing number of nearly ninety 105 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: five hundred doesn't mean you're gonna get them. It says 106 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: do you have to recruit properly and then you have 107 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: to replace everybody that's heading out the door from retirement 108 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: or just finding another job. To reach Bass's target, LAPD 109 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: would have to hire a thousand officers over the next 110 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: fiscal year because they're gonna lose six hundred retirements and 111 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: resignations police academy classes though, or either half or only 112 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: two thirds full. And listen to this, This negates the 113 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: entire story. Why wasn't this a headline? Bass acknowledged the difficulty, 114 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: saying she's not super confident that the LAPD will reach 115 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: her goal. Well, the one what's the point of this, 116 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: what's the point of the LA time saying, Oh, Bass 117 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: wants to rebuild LAPD ad hundreds of officers. She doesn't 118 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: think she can because nobody wants to apply for the 119 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: job because they've been so demonized. And most cops are 120 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: afraid that if they end up in a dangerous situation and. 121 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: If they have used their gun, gascon will come after them. 122 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: That's right. Their lives are destroyed. If they got to 123 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: shoot somebody to save their life for somebody else's life, 124 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: gascon will destroy their life. And so it is sort 125 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: of the weasels in police management. So, of course you 126 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: don't have cops applying to do this here, you're twenty 127 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: two years old, why do you want a life like this? 128 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 2: Of course, spotlighted in the story where the three communists 129 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,679 Speaker 2: who sit now on the Los Angeles City Council, something 130 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: that wasn't the case not that many years ago. A 131 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: Nitia Raman, you go so told Martinez and Unice is Hernandez. 132 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: These are the Democrats, socialists, and most of their campaigns 133 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: were about decreasing police, not adding. 134 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: You see what happened in Compton, though, do you see 135 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: what happened in Chicago? 136 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, there was mayhem there too, and the huge. 137 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: Mayhem in the streets. That's what you'll get every day, 138 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: because this is what they want. This crowd is about anarchy. 139 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: It's it's entirely about anarchy. They could dress it up 140 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: with all kinds of well, let's just have social workers 141 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: out there and you know, let's let's eliminate the abuse 142 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: by the police. No, this is anarchy. They want to 143 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: destroy our way of life, and that's what they're going 144 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: to get. Where you had in Compton was anarchy, which 145 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: you had in Chicago's anarchy And all they goes, wow, no, 146 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: we've got to have a smaller for it. Okay, a 147 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: smaller force. Sure, No, what do you they know what 148 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: they're doing and a. 149 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: Odd way of thinking that police add more crime that 150 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: the more police you have out there are going to 151 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: have more crime because it just makes people angry and 152 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: turn on them and they feel like they're prisoners and 153 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: that there is. 154 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: That's not true most of the most. I mean, what 155 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 1: they're saying is not true, because most of the people 156 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: in these neighborhoods want more police because they're the victims. 157 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: These are people, these are the true raceists, because most 158 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: of the victims in these neighborhoods are minority victims. Most 159 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: of the murder victims are minorities. All right, So when 160 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: you start talking about defunding the police and replacing it 161 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: with social workers or ambassadors or god knows, it's just saying, Okay, 162 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: we're comfortable with all these minority people getting killed or 163 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: having crimes committed against them. That's what they're saying. Why 164 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: did they want that? Why do they want that? But 165 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: they're never asked to discuss that proposition. Tell me, since 166 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: you know less police is going to be more minority victims, 167 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: more minority deaths, why do you want that? They'll never 168 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: answer directly because the real issue is anarchy in America. 169 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: That's what they want, and if they have to sacrifice 170 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: minority lives for it they're comfortable, even if they're minorities themselves. 171 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: They produce, they back all these ridiculous policies that lead 172 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: to death to death. 173 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: So it looks like they're going to offer signing bonuses 174 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: just like you're a sports player, fifteen to twenty thousand 175 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: dollars for new hires. That's one thing they're coming up with. 176 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: And then they're going to step up their recruitment. And 177 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: then Bass wants them to bring back or actually LAPD 178 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: is thinking about bringing back a program where people that 179 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 2: have retired can be lured back to come back for 180 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: a couple of years to make up the difference. I 181 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: want to bring back two when a retired cops through 182 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: a program called Bounce Bounce program bring them back on. 183 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 3: All right, we got more coming up. Johnny Ken KFI 184 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 3: AM six forty were live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. 185 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 186 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 187 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: All right, coming up after two thirty, we will talk 188 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: about the mayhem and chaos last night in Compton where 189 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: there apparently was a major event concerning street takeovers and 190 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: actually was the night before last. We'll get into that 191 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: with Corbyn. 192 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: Carson from I'm looking at it right now, we're going 193 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: to talk about Chicago in a moment. Well, there, these 194 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: guys were raised really well, don't you think I had 195 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: good parents? 196 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: And it looks it's like the same case with Chicago. 197 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: Social media plays a big part in drawing all these 198 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: people together rather quickly in the case of a street takeover. 199 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: They want to see all the tricks being done by 200 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: the guys in the cars. 201 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, Plus, it's a way to get everybody together 202 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: to go bust into stores you just you put out there. 203 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: Because it used to be you might just have your 204 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: your local goons that would hang out on the sidewalk together. 205 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: Right now, you go on social media, you can get 206 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: hundreds and everybody can get together and destroy things. 207 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: So we'll talk about Chicago's and then we'll talk about Compton. First, 208 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: we thought you might enjoy this. Listener forward to this 209 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: from YouTube. We were just talking about the Los Angeles 210 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: City Council and they have these three Democrats socialists. 211 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, there used to be. 212 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: Just one Nio Raman, but now there's you Go Soto Martinez, 213 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: and there is also Hernandez who got the seat that 214 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: the Gilsett deal had occupied. For many years, and to 215 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: show you what a brilliant one she is, we're going 216 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: to play this piece of audio which has nothing to 217 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: do with the jails or police officers. It has more 218 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: to do with just basic common knowledge of sort of 219 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: how the world works. The Los Angeles City Council's Energy 220 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: and Environmental Committee was talking about evs adding electric vehicles 221 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: to the fleet. Upsteps unices Hernandez to ask questions about 222 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: these evs, and I guess it tied into another topic 223 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: they dealt with last week, which was catalytic converter theft. 224 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 3: Let's listen to this. 225 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 6: And please forgive me if this is not appropriate, let 226 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 6: me know. Okay, but you know, think talking about this 227 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 6: pilot talking about the expansion of fleet vehicles that are 228 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 6: very much tied to electric you know, vehicles, and that 229 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 6: whole process. Like I think about the conversation that we 230 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 6: have the catalytic converter piece, and if their conversation is 231 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 6: being had with like vehicle manufacturers around this piece, is 232 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 6: there any way that we can also incorporate the ask 233 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 6: of them to also install anti catalytic convert that in 234 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 6: the production of these vehicles so that we're not having 235 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 6: to catch up, especially considering that a lot of the 236 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 6: EV vehicles are some of the highest targeted vehicles because 237 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 6: of the amount of precious metals within the catalytic converters. 238 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 6: And so if we are establishing probably just something that 239 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 6: I think it's important that we ask in. 240 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: Thank you. 241 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: There we go, So. 242 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 4: You you ask a phenomenal question because catalytic converter theft 243 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: is an ongoing issue. I'm sure we all have our 244 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 4: ring apps and nextdoor apps and we see those people 245 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: lifting the car on blocks and taking them out in 246 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 4: under two minutes. So that is absolutely a problem. The 247 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 4: beauty of electric vehicles, however, it doesn't have a catalytic converter. 248 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 4: Could we just have a battery that effectively has motors 249 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 4: and that connectivity so. 250 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: They'll figure out how to steal the batteries to one day. 251 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 4: There's there's nothing to controllers, cover emissions, you know, eliminate 252 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 4: from from the collu You don't think, so sit down. 253 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 4: From that perspective, we're in good shape, awesome, thank you. 254 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, no uses, you don't, I mean you absolute food. 255 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: But of course she had to say, what a terrific question, 256 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: right right, Like she was a little didn't want to 257 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: embarrass her in front of everybody by saying, what a 258 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: dumb question? And this is what you say to an 259 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: eight year old, Oh, that's a terrific question. You clearly 260 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: don't know anything about electric vehicles or catalytic converters. You 261 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: are completely ignorant. You are a total zero. I mean 262 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: what she's she's she's representing her district in the city 263 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, where there are is unpreceded number of 264 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: catalytic converters being stolen. Right, so they have this EV program. 265 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: It's like, well, can we can we ask the EV 266 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: folks to somehow secure the. 267 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: Catalytic convert put in an anti theft devices fakes. 268 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: Hello, anybody home? Anybody in there? What's going on in 269 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: that little brand of yours? That's the whole purpose of 270 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle is you don't have you you're not 271 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: there are zero emission, there's zero emissions, you're not burning gas. 272 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: Nothing has to be converted here. What's wrong with you? 273 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: But she doesn't know that, and she goes up there 274 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: out loud and asks that question. Only she only. 275 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 2: Wanted to get on the city council to affect socialist 276 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: policy changes, less cops, more spending, on the homeless and 277 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: the poor people. 278 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: That's it. She doesn't know about these other issues. 279 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: It's supposed to it's supposed to process the exhaust so 280 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: there's less pollution from a gas powered car. That that 281 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: that's the purpose. If you're not burning gasoline, then there's 282 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: no exhaust that you have to convert. 283 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: She just tried to to bring two topics together, the 284 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: EVS and this Catalina converter problem that's been. 285 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: She's an ignoramus. And and the thing is, you got 286 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: a lot of that in all legislative bodies. I mean, 287 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: I heard the other day it's like artificial intelligence is 288 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: going to be a big issue in the coming years, 289 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: but there's probably not five senators who understand what it is. 290 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: They just don't know, and they're gonna end up writing 291 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: some sort of complicated, thousand page regulation that they don't understand. 292 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: That's gonna just cause all kinds of problems here too. 293 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: She wants to regularly catalytic converters. She wants the car 294 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: companies to build some sort of cage so the all 295 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: the thieves in her district can't steal them. Instead of 296 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: throwing the thieves in prison, you put the thieves in prison, 297 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: then they can't steal the catalytic converter. Instead, why don't 298 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: the car companies spend a load of money and the 299 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: car owners spend a lot of money coming up with 300 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: a security system. No, no, why don't you just take 301 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: the bad guys and put them in prison. If they're 302 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: in prison, they can't steel a catalytic converter. Now, there 303 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: was a lot of instances of mayhem around the country. 304 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: People like that word. 305 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: There was a team takeover in Chicago in the Millennium 306 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: Park area. This was Saturday night. Two people were shot, 307 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: fifteen were arrested. There was a bunch of property damage. 308 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: The police were outnumbered. They say it could have been 309 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: anywhere from hundreds to thousands who showed up and descended 310 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: on Millennium Park, which, by the way, if you're under 311 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: twenty one, you're not just a curfew, not supposed to 312 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: be in there after a certain hour. But they smashed cars, 313 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: jumped up on down on trap vehicles. Police had to 314 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: escort tourists back to their hotel. What is really bad 315 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 2: about this is the mayor elect of Chicago. 316 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, they got rid of the current mayor. 317 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: There was a runoff between two candidates and unfortunately the 318 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: winner is Brandon Johnson, who said, let's not demonize these vandals. 319 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 2: It is not constructive to demonize youth who otherwise have 320 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: been starved of opportunities. 321 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 3: Their own communities. 322 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: They have opportunities. They're just bad people. 323 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: Their city must work together to create spaces for youth 324 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: together safely or responsibly. 325 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: No, this is what they do because they were raised badly. 326 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: There's already no hope for them. There's no space to 327 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: put them in. What are you gonna do get them 328 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 1: to play pickleball or soccer? There's no space. What they 329 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: should be doing is they should be home. They should 330 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: be doing their homework. They should be hanging out with 331 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: friends in the basement playing games. They should have dinner 332 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: with their family. That's what normal people do. But if 333 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: you're going out to destroy a park and destroy businesses, 334 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: it's because you were raised terribly, probably no fathers. I 335 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: would like to do a census count of how many 336 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: how many of the guys who were carrying On and Compton, 337 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: and how many of them in Chicago because it was 338 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: mostly guys, how many of them had no fathers? Bet 339 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: you three quarters have them had no dats. That's what 340 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: it is complete family breakdown, no discipline growing up, no 341 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: sense of purpose, no sense of values. 342 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 3: Apparently this has. 343 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 2: Become a new social media thing to just bring together 344 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 2: large groups see and. 345 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: Then you can tell what happens. It gets pretty ugly. 346 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: It's just like Compton. Yeah, yeah, and they know there's 347 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: no consequences. And then you have an absolute clown and 348 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: a half Brandon Johnson who don't demonize. Yeah, they ought 349 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: to be demonized. Absolutely ought to be demonized, and they 350 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: ought to be jailed, and they ought to be jailed 351 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: for a long time. And then it'll keep the who's 352 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: going to go out at night? Businesses are going to 353 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: die in Chicago the way they're dying in Los Angeles, 354 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: the way the way they died in San Francisco. There's 355 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: a there's a template for this Detroit. Detroit died decades 356 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: ago and never came back because they let crime get 357 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: out of control. These are badly run cities. The kids 358 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: in a lot of these neighborhoods have absolutely no adult 359 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: guidance at all.

Apparently the clerk 378 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: was on duty, but it was hiding and stole thousands 379 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 2: of dollars worth of stuff.

Law enforcement is they've been struggling 388 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 7: to keep up with where and when they'll take place. 389 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 7: This latest one took over this kind of this kind 390 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 7: of takeover Lallapalooza was in Coompton. It was overnight Saturday. 391 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 7: There are multiple videos showing up on social media. You 392 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 7: can see these and smoke, there's lasers and screeching tires. 393 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 7: But this new angle has investigators worried. And one video, 394 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 7: a person can be seen bashing into this ampm on 395 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 7: the laundra Central and as that person is breaking in, 396 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 7: dozens of people are crowded into this like mob waiting 397 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 7: anxiullly anxiously to get in behind them. Once the door 398 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 7: is broken, the people push their way into the store. 399 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 7: They're looking around for whatever they can grab, drinks and snacks. 400 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 8: Most people are wearing masks and hoodies, but. 401 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 7: Some didn't even bother And one guy, as you had mentioned, 402 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 7: he can be seen grabbing several packages of condoms and 403 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 7: he's just smiling ear to ear for the camera. And 404 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 7: here's a la Sheriff's Compton Station Captain Terrence Bell. He 405 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 7: says the danger associated with these incidents appears to be escalating. 406 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 9: We received several different calls for service for several different 407 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 9: intersections because multiple street takeovers was occurring during that time. Obviously, 408 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 9: some of the individuals that were spectating did point that 409 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 9: are lasers at our helicopters, which is damer but I 410 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 9: want to say that at least no one was injured. However, 411 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 9: there was a damage to the business and a report 412 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 9: was taken and we are investigating, and if we're able 413 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 9: to identify anybody, we're going to hold them to the 414 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 9: to the to the standards of law. 415 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 8: And there was also a shooting nearby around at the 416 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 8: same time. 417 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta ask something here. I saw the video. 418 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: If you're stealing a bunch of snacks off a snack stand, 419 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: that's not a crime in California. That's that's under one 420 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. They're not going to charge them with anything 421 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: but a misdemeanor shoplifting. Those aren't prosecuted anymore. 422 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 8: It looks like they're racing around here too. 423 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: It does. 424 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 3: It sounds like you got something going on there. 425 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,959 Speaker 8: Yeah, it has not lightened up. 426 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what. 427 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 7: I also asked him about several reports that two restaurants, 428 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 7: a laundry, matt and several other businesses were also broken 429 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 7: into a overnight during these takeovers. 430 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 8: But you know, Belle says that might have been something different. 431 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 8: Hold on, I had that ready for you. 432 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 1: Now. 433 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 9: The other businesses were not looted, so no items were taken. However, 434 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 9: if the other businesses aren't claiming damages for vandalism, obviously 435 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 9: those reports are are taken and they'll that would be 436 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 9: investigated also. It was unfortunately. 437 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 8: The other thing. 438 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, And I asked him about that outnumbering deputies thing too, 439 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 7: and he said that they were and that because I 440 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 7: saw some reports that there were so many people they 441 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 7: were there were just not enough deputies to get them 442 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 7: to disperse. And he said that that, you know, he 443 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 7: couldn't confirm that either. But not to be fair, there 444 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 7: are other other reports that the group was gone before 445 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 7: the deputies showed up, which is typical for these street 446 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 7: takeovers and what has been making them so hard to prevent. 447 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: But it takes a while for a crowd that big 448 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: to form and for that many cars to come and 449 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: put on the performance. 450 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 8: So it's pretty noisy too. 451 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's only so many you know, bulevards. You 452 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: can do that on so I and the and the 453 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: social media is public. It seems like by now they 454 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: should have an intelligence just to pick up on this 455 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: and preempt it or at least get it out of town. 456 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, you know what, go ahead. I was 457 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 8: just gonna say. They also have a task force. 458 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 7: That that has been following these groups for some time, 459 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 7: and the idea was that they were supposed to be 460 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 7: following on social media as well. 461 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: It was the task force. Where were they having dinner? 462 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: They were asleep? I mean, I don't know. 463 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: Let me ask this corp. 464 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: Just did anybody from the Sheriff's department show up in 465 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 2: Compton at this r code to do anything? 466 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: Or no? 467 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 3: They don't even go. 468 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 7: From what I understand they It's like, like I said, 469 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 7: some reports were saying that they showed up after the 470 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 7: people were already gone. And one of the interesting parts 471 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 7: was this morning it was really really hard to get 472 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 7: information on this. I must have been spent four hours 473 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 7: dealing with the main Sheriff's department and then trying to 474 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 7: get a hold of the Compton sheriff station, and that's 475 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 7: been an ongoing thing with confusing. 476 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: They won't talk to you. 477 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 7: It's just extremely confusing. There's several layers you have to 478 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 7: go through from media and this is not even this 479 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 7: isn't on this. This started under Vietnaeva. This wasn't in 480 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 7: the newest sheriff. It was a lot easier the sheriff 481 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 7: before the last. But you could just you know, you 482 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 7: could email one person, you could text one pio. But 483 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 7: now it has to be this form you fill out 484 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 7: and you have to put it in a bunch of 485 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 7: information and. 486 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 8: Who you're with, and and it's. 487 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 7: Convoluted and then the whole I mean, I must have 488 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 7: sent it maybe six o'clock this morning, and I'm not 489 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 7: hearing back from the captain until eleven.

These kids are pouring in from 579 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: all over. It's the city council, well, it's everybody in authority. 580 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: They've made it clear now for quite a few years, 581 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: anything goes. These young guys have grown up in an 582 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: atmosphere of anything goes. They were in elementary school when 583 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: we passed Prop forty seven. What's the message there, Go 584 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: and steal stuff. You're not going to go to jail, 585 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: you're not going to end up with a criminal record. 586 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: Go steal stuff. So now maybe they're eighteen years old, 587 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: they've known since they were nine that you can steal 588 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: and nobody cares, the city, the governor doesn't care. So 589 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: of course you're going to get together and steal stuff, 590 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: and of course you're going to laugh. I saw their faces. 591 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: Those were faces of joy. They weren't looking around worried 592 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: they might get caught. Oh what if the cops get us? 593 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: What did my parents hear about this? 594 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 3: Not just teen rebellion. 595 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 2: It's cool to stick your faith in authority and have fun, 596 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 2: not to this level. Teens gagentine rebellion. That's they drink 597 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: behind their parents back. 598 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: But they right because you're afraid of getting caught and 599 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: you're afraid of the consequences. Kids always do stuff. I 600 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: did stuff, but you did it so you didn't get caught. 601 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: They're doing it, and they're broadcasting it on social media. 602 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: They're saying, Hey, come to this boulevard at eleven o'clock 603 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: tonight in Compton and we are going to watch the 604 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: street takeovers. And then they take video of themselves storming 605 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: and into the into the store, and then they post it. 606 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: There's absolutely it's not. It's like when we were kids 607 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: and you're you're having a beer with your buddy, laid 608 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: it nice, and so you're looking around so you don't 609 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: get caught. No, that's the anarchy that they've grown up 610 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: with and now they're embracing it and laughably, there's nothing 611 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: we can do about it because there are no laws 612 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: to stop this. This will just keep going on and on, 613 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: and the anarchy is the whole point. 614 00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: So now listen to this. 615 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: We have mentioned this before along the same lines of stealing, looting, 616 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 2: and shoplifting. We have said for many years that a 617 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 2: high percentage of crimes are committed by a small percentage 618 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 2: of repeat criminals. They've done an analysis in New York 619 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 2: City and they discovered that nearly a third of all 620 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 2: shoplifting arrests in New York City last year involved just 621 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty seven people. Collectively, they were arrested 622 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,959 Speaker 2: and re arrested more than six thousand times. You do 623 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 2: the math on that, that's about eighteen arrests per thief. 624 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: And those are just the times they were caught. And 625 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: you get caught a small fraction for small fraction of 626 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: the crimes you committed. 627 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 2: Some engage in shoplifting as a trade, Others are driven 628 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: by addiction or mental illness. And of course, this article 629 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: in The New York Times is full of people saying 630 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 2: people only steal out of need. No, But the response was, 631 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 2: you know what, they've really got these wire complex shoplifting. 632 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 3: What do they call it? 633 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 2: Like organizations now where they send these guys out to 634 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 2: steal and then the stuff is quickly brought back and 635 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: sold online. 636 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 3: It's become quite an operation. 637 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: It's their job. They're not stealing out of need any 638 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: more than you and I show up for work out 639 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: of need. Yes, we all have a need to make 640 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: money to live. But it's not because they're starving in 641 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: the streets. It's because they don't want a regular job. 642 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: This is easier and it pays well, and they're freelancers. 643 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: They can set their own hours, they don't have to 644 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: pay taxes on their stuff, and yeah, they can buy 645 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: boozing drugs with it, and if they were afraid of 646 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: the consequences, they'd have to stop. But in New York, 647 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: like LA, there are no consequences. Can you imagine that 648 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: they passed laws in New York and here in LA 649 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: they passed all these all these new anything goes policies. Yeah, 650 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: no bailgest just to keep three hundred and twenty seven 651 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: people at a prison like we don't have room for 652 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty seven people to give them. What 653 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: a second chance? We're giving them several hundred chances, not 654 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: a second This is their way of life, and we can't. 655 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: Let's put the three hundred and twenty seven away for 656 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: a year and see what happens to the to the 657 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: crime rate. 658 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 3: To the shoplifting around. 659 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: Now, it's only three hundred twenty seven people.
