She is dead, described as a former student 13 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: at the school. It's a long time to wait to 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: come back if that's what's going on here. But she 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: entered the school through a side entrance with a couple 16 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: of rifles and a handgun. We're gonna pick up a 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 1: news conference which is supposed to happen in about an 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: hour for the latest, but right now we'll go to 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: Alex Stone, ABC News for KFI with an update on 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: the story. Alex, Hey, guys, Yeah, that's pretty much what 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: they know right now, and that she walked in. They 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: got the calls in the ten o'clock hour this morning 23 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: that there was an active shooter. They put together a 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: five person police team to go in immediately. That that 25 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: is the training since Columbine. That is not what they 26 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: did in Uivaldi, but it's what they're supposed to do 27 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: and what they're trained to do of you go in 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: first officers on scene, you hear gunfire, and you don't 29 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: wait no more waiting like they didn't Columbine or in 30 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Jivaldi for a swat team, and that's when a lot 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: more people will die. So they went in. Oh, they 32 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: were on the first floor. They heard more gunfire coming 33 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: from the second floor. That team of the five on 34 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: the entry team, they went upstairs and there she was 35 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: and they got into a gun battle with her. She 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: was still firing. They shot her. She went down the 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: hall going out like this, victims down inside the school 38 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: shooter is down as now as well. They knew that 39 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: there were multiple who were injured, some of them were 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: still slightly alive. That they knew that they were very 41 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: very badly injured, and all of those who were injured 42 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: ended up dying in the end. But you know, in 43 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: so many ways, this is another active shooter walking into 44 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: a school, much like Newtown, much like Jivaldi, this one 45 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: children K through six in Covenant School. Three children killed, 46 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: three adult victims killed as well, plus the shooter. But 47 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: the female shooter is what is different here. That is 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: very uncommon fractive shooters and almost unheard of in an 49 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: elementary school. But they have identified her, the chief saying, yes, 50 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: we have identified the suspect. That's a twenty eight year 51 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: old female, white, actually a Nashvillean or lives in the 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: Nashville area. They've been at her house today. They're trying 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: to vacuum, as they say, all of our social media 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: suck it all up to understand what was she about? 55 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: Why did she do this? That she was a former 56 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: student at some point many years ago at the elementary school. 57 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: Why go there? She had two long guns and a handgun. 58 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: Where she got them from? Where they legally obtained by her? 59 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: They don't know yet, but but just reiterating. When they 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: got to her went down like this. When the officers 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: got to the second level, they saw a shooter, a 62 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: female who was firing. The officers engaged her. She was 63 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: fatally shot, and there's no more who are injured now 64 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: that are in hospitals. There was one police officer out 65 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: of minor injury, but that was about it. So everybody 66 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: she shot, they were all killed. And today, guys, police 67 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: have been escorting school buses full of children out of 68 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: the area. Families have been reuniting, lots of hugs going on. 69 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: But police right now through social media, talking to family, 70 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: talking to friends, trying to figure out who she was 71 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: and why she did this. They don't have ages on 72 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: the children. They're not putting it out yet. They say 73 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: they do know the families have been identified, but they 74 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: say they're not ready to do that. Probably by the 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: end of the day they will, but not yet. This 76 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: is pretty k to sixth grade at this school. Yeah, 77 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: these are gonna be young victims, all right, Alex, thank 78 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: you very much. You got it. Thanks guys. You know, 79 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: if I loot ABC News for KFI, I'm looking around 80 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: Usten Alex's report. There's everything he said. That's all there is. 81 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: I can't find any additional information about this because it 82 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: happened very recently. It's a few hours old, and they 83 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: now know the identity of the woman that did this, 84 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: But now it's a matter of digging up what can 85 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: be learned about her from family, neighbors, social media, all 86 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: that kind of usual stuff. It's just the only thing 87 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: that's flipped here is it's a female that has carried 88 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: out this shooting and then was shot dead by police 89 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: at twenty eight two. The reports that floated early this 90 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: morning was that it was a teenage woman, and then 91 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: that got scrubbed. I think around the eleven o'clock hour, 92 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: one thing said it was a twenty eight year old woman. 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: They found a car nearby I guess her car, which 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: gave them a lot of information and clues they needed 95 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: to figure out more about who this was. It was 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: taken extremely long time to find a case where a 97 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: woman goes out and kills a bunch of innocent children 98 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: a very long time. I just did. Nothing comes to 99 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: mind by women are rare mass shootings of children by women, 100 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: that's got to be fairly rare. Uh yeah, I can't 101 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: think of one. No, does this amp up the argument 102 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: now for the gun control and now, look now it's 103 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: even women doing this, this infection, it's just killing America. 104 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: That is a permitted dead end that I think so, 105 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: But that's what's happening. Immediately, I know it's everybody wasting 106 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: time and preening and pumppooning. Right, it's clear that there's 107 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: nothing you can do to stop these things. I mean, 108 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: the Senate passed something last year. I forgot this. It 109 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: was cosmetic nuns, but the house was not gonna it was. No, 110 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: they're they're not serious. Neither parties interested in it. It's 111 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: a little unusual too that it's a private school that 112 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: got shot up. I mean, a lot of them have 113 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: been happening at public schools around the country. This is 114 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, as John said, 115 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: preschool through sixth grade. So what happened to this woman? 116 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: If she attended there, we understand she did, she would 117 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: have been out what fifteen years in sixth grade? Was 118 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: at your twelve or something. It's all what's between her ears, 119 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: some kind of disturbance between her ears. The fact that 120 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: she killed as many adults as children. I wonder if 121 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: it was a teacher or somebody of that. I mean, 122 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: unless unless she got her angry, she was in some 123 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: way assaulted when she was in the school. Oh, I 124 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: even think of that. You're right, mistreated or even assaulted. 125 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: You're right, Yeah, I didn't think of that, but I 126 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I mean, usually the shootings are 127 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: not because teachers assaulted or abused the children. That's because 128 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: they got bullied right by the by their classmates. That's 129 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: what makes them angry. But they go back when there 130 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: either were still a student there or within a short 131 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: time after they were a student. They're like the Florida killer. Well, 132 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: girls get bullied by other girls too well. I think 133 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: the Connecticut killer, Adam Lanza, that's that was also kind 134 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: of weird. He wasn't this he was a student, but 135 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: it was years. Yeah, he killed very young children, and 136 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: he was kind of ding though. He had some mental disorder. Yeah, 137 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: he was. He was severe. All right. So we'll update 138 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: you with the news conference we're told supposed to start 139 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: around two o'clock our time, and that's when we'll hear 140 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: perhaps more details.

But of that, well, it might be right. 171 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: That's why I'm here. That might be the problem. I 172 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: have a few things to tell you might not have thought. 173 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: No nobody cares what I said. However, the other well, 174 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: there's two other nominees we've talked about besides Garcetti. One 175 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: of them went south, saying that for the good of 176 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: the FAA and the country, he is standing down on 177 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: his nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administry. The old 178 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: head of Metro, Philip Washington, is not going to be 179 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 1: the next head of the FAA. Well, he withdrew. He 180 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: was an incompetent boob because he allowed the Metro to 181 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: become a rolling, a psychotic asylum filled with homeless people 182 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: and mental patients and drug addicts. That's his fault. He 183 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: was running the place, and that's why nobody wants to 184 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: take it now. To be fair, I think he left 185 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: before the pandemic when Metro got really disgusting. He's been 186 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: gone from Metro for a few years. It was disgusting 187 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: before that. It was already on the decline clearly, but 188 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: the pandemic is when you know, people stopped completely, stopped 189 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: taking the buses and trains, and the homeless took him 190 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: over completely. So the reason apparently is Arizona Senator, this 191 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: wild card woman, Kirsten Cinema I Arizona right. She used 192 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: to be a Democrat, but she left the party and 193 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: now a dentif fies officially as an independent. She canceled 194 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: the planned committee vote last week and that's probably when 195 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: the waves started running around that Philip. I don't think 196 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 1: you're going to get this nomination. You may not get 197 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: enough Democrat votes because as you know, it's pretty close. Well, 198 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: they didn't have he didn't have a majority in the committee. 199 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: See Garcetti at least had a thirteen to eight majority. Yeah, 200 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: it's surprised. He's a Dodo bird. I mean he he 201 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: has no experience in aviation other than two years as 202 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: a bureaucrat with the Denver Airport. Outside of that, isn't 203 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: there anything about flying planes? And they also were spooked 204 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 1: by his role in the Uh what what what? What? 205 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: What's their name up? Yeah, that did come up. I 206 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: saw it in one article today that that some of 207 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: the some of the senators were getting uneasy because clearly, 208 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: in that case, he was telling one of the staffers 209 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: just to forward the seventy five thousand dollars payment over 210 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: to Sheila Cull's friend, the nonprofit that ran the hot line, 211 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: the fake sexual harassment hot line that Kul had set 212 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: up for her friend. And um, this woman came to 213 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: Armstrong and said, what's what's with this seventy five thousand 214 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: dollar payment? This is not supposed to be and he said, well, 215 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: just do it because I want to get a favor 216 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: from Sheila cule So you know that her testimonies credible, 217 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: it's in black and white. And some senators were uncomfortable 218 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: with that. And you know they can they can they 219 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: get the stories from from California that the metro system 220 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: is a disaster and needs to be nuked. So what 221 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: are you going to put it in charge of the FAA. Well, 222 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 1: it's also the important thing that the FAA is having 223 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: problems right now. I mean, we had a couple of 224 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: problems with the Boeing seven thirty seven's remember that there 225 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: was a crash it Indonesian twenty eighteen and Ethiopia the 226 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,239 Speaker 1: next year through and fifty people were killed. And apparently 227 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: congressional investigators found that the FAA was given too much 228 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: oversight to Boeing itself, so they did pass legislation to 229 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: try to address that problem. But it's felt like you 230 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: need a stronger hand at the FAA and need you 231 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: probably need somebody with real aviation background. And also he 232 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: was in the military, but running the Denver Airport. Somebody 233 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: who wasn't doing dirty deals with local dirty politicians like 234 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: Shiela coul You know, you have a problem with his ethics. 235 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: You have probably with his performance. I mean, I mean 236 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: people have fled the Metro where they're at the lowest 237 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: point since the nineteen eighties, people riding trains after spending 238 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: billions of dollars at tax money. Just what is it 239 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: that he does well, He's another one of these guys 240 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: like Pete Boudag. It just gets bumped up until he 241 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: hits a position that overwhelms him. And I think when 242 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: he got to Metro that overwhelmed him. He given the 243 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: FAA you're dealing with planes potentially falling from the sky. 244 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: The other story dealing with Metro kind of a surprise 245 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: because they are looking at renewing their security contracts. We've 246 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: gone over the stories the last few months of just 247 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: how many dead people are being found on the buses 248 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: and trains from overdoses and the crime, and there was 249 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: a lot of talk, you know, we want security ambassadors 250 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: out there, but apparently they're talking about exploring their own 251 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: police force. The way it works now is they have 252 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: to sign contracts with local law enforcement to patrol the 253 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: buses and trains, like La County Sheriff does, some LAPD 254 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: does some. There's all these different contracts they signed all 255 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: over the county to cover the buses and trained security. 256 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: And I thought the way things are going, you know, 257 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: defund the police and the police are evil, that they 258 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: might just say, well, you know, we'll just keep that 259 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: and then we'll throw a few security ambassadors on there. 260 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: But apparently they're thinking about actually at some point getting 261 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: their own security force that defund the police. Things has 262 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: long peaked, but the attitude is still there, particularly elected 263 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: officials people on these boards. I like that, I know, 264 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: but the reality control the decision making. So this is 265 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: not completely gone. We've got to keep fighting it. Oh, yes, 266 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: you have to keep fighting it. But I think it's 267 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: largely dead because they aren't creating their own transit police 268 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: force because it is too disgusting and dangerous for words 269 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: and no, but no normal person would ever get on 270 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: a metro train. And if you are a normal person 271 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: considering it, don't do it. You'll you'll probably get stabbed 272 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: and beaten, left for dead, and there's not going to 273 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: be anybody who's going to come and help you. So 274 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: they renewed their current police contracts with the Sheriff's Department, 275 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: Long Beach Police and LAPD, possibly until at least twenty 276 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: twenty six. But it sounds like they're they're thinking about 277 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: creating their own security. We have to get over this 278 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: ambassador fetish. If I had that word one more time, 279 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: all right, you know who the ambassador means, Garcetti, ambassador 280 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: means some week, I mean, really, what adult applies to 281 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: be an ambassador? They honestly, I heard one writers say 282 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: last week, what good does that do? They're gonna sit 283 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: there with a walkie talkie and call in the fact 284 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: that somebody's getting shot. You need police presence. It's like, yeah, right, 285 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: doesn't scar anybody? Do you want if if you're getting stabbed, 286 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: do you want a cop with a gun who could 287 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: shoot the stabber or do you want an ambassador who's 288 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: gonna make a phone call to get a cop in 289 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes to shoot estab Wait? Which do you want? 290 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: I mean this, this whole weird fetish has got to 291 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: end with people to grow up. You need mean tough 292 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: guys with guns to keep order. You all the same 293 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: thing that they want to empty the prisons. They just 294 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: don't believe in any kind of enforcement. That's child another 295 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: reason why they're not taking the homeless off the streets. 296 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: They don't want any enforcement action. That is beauty queen 297 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: logic or fourth grade logic. That the only time I've 298 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: seen ideas like that flourish is when you read fourth 299 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: grade essays on how would you make the world better? 300 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Or when they used to interview Miss America, why you 301 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: know what? What is your dream for the country, and 302 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: those shilly people fourth graders and beauty contest winners would 303 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: say silly things like that it shouldn't have people in 304 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: public service saying anything near that. All right, when we 305 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: come back. It was a story that broke not long 306 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: after we went off the air on Friday. They have 307 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: reached a tentative agreement between the Los Angeles Unified School 308 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: District and that union representing the cafeteria workers, the custodians, 309 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: the bus drivers. Will talk about it. Details coming up. 310 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Johnny Ken Cafe I Am six forty Live Everywhere the 311 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio appic. You're listening to John and Ken on demand 312 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: from KFI sixty. Yeah, and again, we're expecting a news 313 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: conference out of Nashville, Tennessee about the school shooting this 314 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: morning at a private school, Covenant School, a Presbyterian school 315 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: in Nashville, where a twenty eight year old woman got 316 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: into the school and she killed three adults and three 317 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: school children. We don't know much else they do, you know, 318 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: the identity of the shooter. They haven't released that yet, 319 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: but they do say they believe that she did attend 320 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: the school at some point in her life. She apparently 321 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: was killed on the second floor of the school building 322 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: by two cops who shot her to death, and they 323 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: apparently responded rather quickly to the scene. It was all over. 324 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: But we'll see what else we'll learn coming up. We 325 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: believe at two o'clock. These things don't always happen on time, 326 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: so whenever it pops up, she may have killed more 327 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: people than anybody any woman ever has. Is that rights? Yeah? 328 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: The Daily Mail has a list and I don't know 329 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: if this is the absolute comprehensive list, but they can 330 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: only find four other female shooters. Shooters who shot at 331 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: a school. Well, it depends on your definition of mout. 332 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: Oh and shot at a school too, Yeah, shot at 333 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: a school. There was the famous girl in nineteen seventy 334 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: nine who said she did it because she didn't like Mondays. 335 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: And I remember that line. I didn't remember the whole story. 336 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: Remember the hit song that came out of that Bob 337 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: Geldoff's telling me why I don't like Moneys. It was 338 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: a sixteen year old Brenda Spencer shot her principal and 339 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: another staff member, and she told a reporter, I just 340 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: don't like Mondays. I did this because it's a way 341 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: to cheer up the day. And that led to the record. 342 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: A second example teenager. No second example is twenty three 343 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: year old at a technical college in Louisiana. She killed 344 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: two students. Her name was Latina Williams and O eight. 345 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: Third example is Tia Wimberley, fifteen years old, shot her 346 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: friend Amanda Collette, but that looked to be a personal 347 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: issue between the two. Then there was a sixth grader 348 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: in Idaho who opened fire, but I guess didn't hit anybody. 349 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: So that's it. That's four other examples, and some of 350 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: those are kind of limited. Yeah, yeah, I don't think 351 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: they'd qualify as a mass shooting. But this school is 352 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: run by a church, does not employ any kind of 353 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: like school resource officer or cop or anything like that. 354 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: So we don't know how much that they trained there 355 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: or considered the possibility of mass shooting at a place 356 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: like that, because it is a bit unusual. It happens 357 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: at a private school, a private Christian school, just pre 358 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: k a sixth grade in Nashville, Tennessee. That just doesn't 359 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: seem like everybody, anybody would be on edge there, right 360 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: for a mass shooter. All right, So you'll hear more, 361 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: we think coming up in the two o'clock hour with 362 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: a news conference out of Tennessee. After we left the 363 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: airwaves on Friday. A couple hours later, it was announced 364 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: that the LA Unified School District had reached a deal 365 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: with the union representing what we call the service workers 366 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: at the school district, the custodians, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, 367 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: others support staff. And from what I can tell, the 368 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: school district caved. Even though they're gonna be giving the 369 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: raises out over time. A lot of the employees in 370 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: question here, there's thirty five thousand of them in this union, 371 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: will eventually get their thirty percent, which is what they're 372 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: holding out for. And Carvallo's excuse as well. At least 373 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: because we're doing it out over time, it's not going 374 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: to bankrupt us. This takes us to July one to 375 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. That's the last payout. All workers receive 376 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: a two dollars an hour pay raise, you know. For that, 377 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: there's a couple of payments coming or increases of all 378 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: the tax money I pay. The money that goes to 379 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: the LA School System is the one I resent the most. 380 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: It is I resent the most. I could never use 381 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: the LA School System for my three sons because it 382 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: was such a heinous disaster. And now they're giving out 383 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: thirty percent raises for people who slop the red sauce 384 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: on the Pasta's I offered, you know, yeah, thirty percent 385 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: more for the guy scrubbing the toilets. He had things 386 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: we thought you'd like to know. Pointed out by Matt Welch, 387 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: who's the editor at large of Reason magazine, and you 388 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: can go to Reason dot com. This also appeared in 389 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: the Orange County Register. He writes all of this with 390 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: the district that is fading away. The district's enrollment decrease 391 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: has been stunning to behold. Twenty years ago, LA Unified 392 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: peaked at seven hundred and forty seven thousand K through 393 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: twelve students, almost all taught by the government managed, union 394 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: staffed monopoly. Ten years ago, the district enrollment was down 395 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: to six hundred and fifty six thousand, of which eighty 396 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: six percent were in traditional schools. The rest moved over 397 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: to charter schools. Now LA Unified educates just four hundred 398 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: and twenty two thousand students. The charter schools are up 399 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: to one hundred and thirteen thousand students enrolled. Reduced birthrights, 400 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: slow immigration, family unfriendly housing prizes, and the state's stalled 401 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: population will contribute to the shrinking of the student pool. 402 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: But you know, don't also leave out the fact that 403 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: some parents said enough is enough. But with the pandemic, 404 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: we're leaving the main reason. But you know, I love 405 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: when they give like five reasons that are peripheral. The 406 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: main reason is everybody in the world knows that the 407 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 1: Ali public school system is a disgusting disaster. And so 408 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: what you do is you move to the suburbs if 409 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: you can, You go to parochial school, you go to 410 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: a private school, you home school, or you just move 411 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: out of state entirely, which a lot of the middle 412 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: class is done. But you know, these people here are trapped. 413 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: It is largely a minority population, many of them can 414 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: speak English, and they're very poor. You know, over eighty 415 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: percent of these kids come from very poor families, so 416 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: they're trapped by their economic circumstances. Then we mentioned this 417 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: the other day, but he has the details because we 418 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: were talking about this, and it turns out John, it 419 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: was two thousand and two LA Unified embarked on a 420 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: twenty billion dollars school construction frenzy. As he said, it 421 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: was eminent domain abusing because apparently they bulldozed businesses. More 422 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: than a thousand affordable housing residents. The historic Ambassador Hotel 423 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: was all taken down. The beloved Hollywood star Lane's Bowling 424 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: Alley from the movie The Big Lebowski all bulldozed so 425 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: they could build largely empty schools. Whole neighborhoods were destroyed 426 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: to educate children who no longer exist. And when we 427 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: were on the air back then, as one of the 428 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: times you have to point this out, it's important, we 429 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: said this. We were already reading numbers that were predicting 430 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: declining enrollment. We said, why are they doing this? And 431 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: remember all the bond money that they issued to do this, Yes, 432 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: were on this. Oh, it's gonna be a fifty sixty 433 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: eighty kids to a classroom if we don't do this. 434 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: We've I want to do something. We got to build 435 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: more schools. So that it was a classic form. They 436 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: acted hysterically. They made all kinds of false predictions, which 437 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: I suspect they knew were false at the time. Right 438 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: then they go builldozing neighborhoods, and all these years later, 439 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: none of the kids exist. But you're down to four 440 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand student how many? How many then 441 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: there were seven hundred and fifty thousand, how many politically 442 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: connected construction companies got contracts to build the schools. How 443 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 1: many politically connected labor unions provided the workers to build 444 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: the unneeded schools. That's what these things are about. I 445 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: think these companies and the unions will go to politicians 446 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: and say, hey, we need some contracts. Here, what do 447 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: you have for me? What can you do? Okay, we 448 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: got to create a hysteria. What's a good hysteria? Ah, 449 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: but you're gonna end up with eighty kids in a classroom, 450 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: all right, So you start screaming, Oh, our our population 451 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: project shouldn't show that we are going to have two 452 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: million children by the year twenty thirty. We have to 453 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: get ahead to start on this. And they're wrong. And 454 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if they if they're just really bad 455 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: at their projections, or they lie in order to get 456 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: You want to be powerful, exactly right, you do lie. 457 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: You just make everybody believe that you need more money. 458 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: This is basically how government entities work. I remember this. 459 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: I had to audit a few government entities. You know 460 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: what I heard everywhere I went. This is back East 461 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: when I was in accounting. Well, oh we're short staffed. 462 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: I always heard that we need more money. Always heard that, 463 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: and you know, with government budgeting, but you don't spend allegedly, 464 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: you lose it's supposed to go back. You don't get 465 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: to roll it over into another fiscal year. They used 466 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: climate change hysteria to convince people to borrow and pay 467 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: for ten billion dollars in high speed rail funds. Ten 468 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: billion dollars that was based on climate change hysteria. You know, 469 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: one of my sons just had to fly back and 470 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 1: forth between here and say and Francisco a number of 471 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: times in the past few months. After going through that 472 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: whole routine with him, there is zero chance anybody like 473 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: him has taken a train to San Francisco. That's so 474 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: ridiculously impossible and ludicrous, just absolute nonsense. That's never ever, ever, 475 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: ever going to happen. And and they create these what 476 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: was the other hysteria recently, Oh, the homeless hysteria, the 477 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: homeless hysteria, right, billions and billions of dollars in extra 478 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: taxes for what for more homeless. But that was about 479 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: manipulating you and making you feel guilty, like shouldn't you 480 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 1: spend a little bit more money just, you know, to 481 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: help out the poor Angelino's in the streets like f 482 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: and you stop it and stop voting for this stuff, 483 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: and stop voting for any of politicians and push this stuff. 484 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: They are always lying to you always. All right, we 485 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: got more coming up. John and Ken Cafe I AM 486 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to John 487 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: and Ken on demand from KFI AM six forty. All right, Well, 488 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: we're expecting a news conference out of Nashville, Tennessee about 489 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: the school shooting that left three adults and three school 490 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: children dead and the shooters dead too. The police killed 491 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: her seven people. We'll see what else we can learn, 492 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: supposedly in the two o'clock hour, if not, at some 493 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: point before we go off the air, we'll be talking 494 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: to Blake Trolley KFI News because they're taking down the 495 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: fence John around Eco Park Lake. It started this afternoon. 496 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: You know, after having two little town halls I think, yes, 497 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: he had one for English speaking people and one for 498 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: Spanish speaking people. The councilman, you go Soto Martinez, said 499 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: let's take the fence down. Well, because those were theater. 500 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: He always was going to take the fence down. It 501 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: didn't matter what anybody did at the town halls. He did, 502 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people wanted the fence to stay up 503 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: from what we understood. Well, of course they do, because 504 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: now the homeless are going to come pouring in. And 505 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: then this this communist doesn't care. You go so, Martine, 506 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: this doesn't care what happens to the park. Now, did 507 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: you see a Blake sent us some photos? Ye? Email, 508 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: And and they've got those filthy, disgusting RV parks along 509 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: the edges of the park. Well that those those they're 510 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: gonna come crawling out of there, set up their tents. 511 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: Not even know it's gonna happen this soon. I thought 512 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: he was gonna wait a few more months. Happening this 513 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: afternoon as we speak, they're they're taking down the fencing. 514 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: The Democratic Socialists of America, which is his party, he says, 515 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: this is why he was elected. They elected him to 516 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: do this. That was his quote last week. Well, he 517 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: can say anything he wants. You know, most of the 518 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: public doesn't. Virtually all the public doesn't want any of this. 519 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: He just didn't the guys just say things. Why not 520 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: are you going to get into an argument with him? Well, 521 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: he's getting a campaign promise. How do you prove that wrong? 522 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: Nobody voted over that issue. Nobody pays attention to campaign No, look, 523 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: George gas Going got elected. Nobody pays attention to who 524 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: was running for anything. They don't They don't keep track 525 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: of the news. Most of the public is ignorant to 526 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: what's going on in the world. Yeah, and they didn't 527 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: give Bonning his replacement, so there was no election yours. 528 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: It worked out. But how much publicity did that take? 529 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: How many park One how many news stories did they 530 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: do on television, on Bonnen on on the homeless situation 531 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: on the West Side. What put it over the edge 532 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: was when when was venice the situation Dennis got so 533 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: bad and that became an international news story because it's 534 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: such a big tourist attraction. And then the sheriff went 535 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: in there and made a big stink about it, and 536 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: that's what sank Bonnet. But that you needed a monumental 537 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: amount of publicity for it, and that was also grassroots finding. 538 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: Neighbors just started talking to neighbors and saying, look, we 539 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: gotta do something here. And the organization, even though they 540 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: did not affect a recall of Bonning, that was kind 541 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: of the beginning of it. Yeah, and the people on 542 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: the west side. Are farm work connected to what's going 543 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: on in the world, then then the people in the 544 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: park Lake. It's very true. I don't even think there's 545 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: having voters. No. So we'll eventually be talking to Blake 546 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: because he went there today, probably collected some audio and 547 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: John mentioned some pictures and we'll see what's going on 548 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: with that. We're supposed to have him on to two. 549 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: If this news conference starts, then we'll have to have 550 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: him on later. Speaking of LA, pretty funny story. Funny 551 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: in the Elsa Gundo Times, the mansion tax is going 552 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: to kick in on April first. I know John voted 553 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: for this measure u LA pasted in November. It is 554 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: going to assess a four percent tax on property sales 555 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: above five million, and of five and a half percent 556 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: tax on property sales above ten million. That's why they 557 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: call it the mansion tax, because most people don't live 558 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 1: in homes that are worth five million or more than 559 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: ten million dollars. But what is it for? Give me 560 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: an h homelessness? Yay, more money for the homelessness industrial 561 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: complex and supposedly affordable housing construction. Oh you know why 562 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: both of those are fake issues? Well, yeah, this I'll 563 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: go down the train, like all the rest money going 564 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: to the homeless nonprofits and we'll have another story on 565 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: that that we're going to get into is a huge 566 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: waste of money, and stop with the affordable housing. They 567 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: may not get as much as they think. Apparently, property 568 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: sales have already declined greatly in the first three months 569 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two. And then this story tells you 570 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: that there are other people who are trying to indice 571 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: entice people to buy their homes before April first, one 572 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: sixteen and a half million dollars listing for a home 573 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: is offering and apparently this is on Mulholland Drive. They're 574 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: offering people their choice of a luxury car. They can 575 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: have an Aston Martin Vantage or an Aston Martin DBX 576 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: seven h seven or a McLaren GT or a Bedley 577 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: if they pay the full price close the s grow 578 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: before April first? Is this kind of deeper. It's cheaper 579 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: than paying the tax giving away those cars. If the 580 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: home is worth ten million, you know what the tax is. 581 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: It's it's five hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, oh it's huge. 582 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: It's huge, even as your home is only worth lesser. 583 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: Announcing a four percent a tax on five million is 584 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars. It's nonsense about building affordable housing. Oh, 585 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: for God's sakes. The reason housing is not affordable is 586 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: this more people that want to live here than there 587 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: is room. You can't make housing affordable. The reason that 588 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: housing costs a lot of money is is the land 589 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: costs a lot of money. Now, right, you're not going 590 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: to build cheap housing, right there. There's two ways to 591 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: get affordable housing. You put it on cheap land, and 592 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: there is no cheap land in LA. Or you build 593 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: it with cheap materials. She's against the law in LA 594 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: because of earthquakes, so there's no such thing. You know, 595 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: you could have subsidized affordable housing, but you can't actually 596 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: have affordable housing because there you can't add any more 597 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: homes in LA. Every square inch is taken up. It's 598 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: just it is what it is. That's why they wanted 599 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: to build down single family homes and build all sorts 600 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: of apartment buildings everywhere. Yeah, and there's the plan. They're 601 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: not going to do that because people like living in 602 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: the single family homes. That we're in the age of 603 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: all these fantasy ideas, and they sell them really hard 604 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: and really loud, but ultimately they don't happen, and they 605 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: will never happen. But they got to move the bums 606 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: along or we're just going to get more people lying 607 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: in the parks in the streets. Well that you've got 608 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: just because of housing, it's because we don't treat addiction 609 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: or mental illness, that other thing that's most of it. 610 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: But you're not gonna be You're not gonna build affordable 611 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: housing for bums in the street. The bums in the 612 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: street are gonna end up destroying the housing. You don't 613 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: want to put those people inside housing. They don't deserve housing. Actually, 614 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: you just I I've come to realize you just have 615 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: to get rid of them. You have to like put 616 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: them and put them in all. But I guess the 617 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: question is where were they twenty years ago? We didn't 618 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: have this kind of drug addiction. I didn't think it 619 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: was the drugs, mostly because I was gonna say, twenty 620 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: years ago, there's homeless, but not like this and not 621 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: in all the places that they are today. And you 622 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: also didn't have the quick dissemination of information once it 623 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 1: became clear that LA was up for grabs here, anybody 624 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,240 Speaker 1: could do anything they want, anywhere they want. They started 625 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: coming in by by the bus loads because it spread 626 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: very quickly on the internet. You didn't have social media 627 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: twenty years ago. You didn't have Internet that was so 628 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: immersed in people's lives. And all the bums figured it out. 629 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: I mean, because most of most of the people are 630 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: not are not Angelio's you know from out of state 631 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: that we're taking care of everybody else's problems, everybody else's 632 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: dysfunctional family, everyone else's drug addict son who got thrown 633 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: out of the house because he stole a mom's jewelry. 634 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: All right, we'll expect at some point this coming hour 635 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: for there to be a news conference in Nashville, Tennessee 636 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: about the school shooting, a private school called Covenant School. 637 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: It's a religious school at church school where a woman, 638 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: twenty eight year old woman killed three adults and three 639 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: children before the cops took her out.
