Creepy beard, creepy face eyes, the whole bit. Anyway, 28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: we'll talk coming up after one thirty. So yeah, probably 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: everybody's heard. It's the biggest story of the day that 30 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos' wife, Katie Perry, and Gail King 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: from CBS. They were part of an all female crew 32 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: on Bezos' rocket ship. They went up in space for 33 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: eleven seconds eleven minutes, excuse me, and they were in 34 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: these really cool looking blue space suits. They looked like 35 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 2: some modern version of Charlie's Angels. You know, they're all posed. 36 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: And they went on TV and talked about how they 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: were going to be in full glam mode. Right, so 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: they had their hair done and their makeup done, and 39 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: this is them talking about it. So The New York 40 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: Post decided to speculate on what do you think happened 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: to Loretta? Loretta Lauren Sanchez's resting plans? Wait, John Botox 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: and filler. 43 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 4: You and I off the air, Remember I mentioned that 44 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 4: last week. I said, yeah, I said something about her chest, 45 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 4: how that's going. 46 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: To work in space? 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: Oh you did say something, yes, and I was serious. 48 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 2: Do you want to repeat that? 49 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: No? 50 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: I kind of just paraphrase, but I think everything's okay. 51 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: Uh. Well, yeah, that's what the post is wondering, like, well, really, 52 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 2: you know, could they explode? What could what? What kind 53 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: of sound would that make? She's had She's reportedly had 54 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: breast implants, botox, lip fillers, and a facelift. That that 55 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: is a lot of construction work there. So they talked 56 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: to an expert, some guy named Gerson and let me 57 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: see who this guy is and the uh because they said, 58 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: there's so much stress. It's called shearing stress. You're going 59 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: about six thousand miles an hour and that causes sheer 60 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: stress and something might shift. Yeah, they talked to a 61 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: scientist who studies space travel affects human cells. So when 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 2: shearing stress occurs, causes uh, parts of a material to 63 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: slide past each other, and that could cause an implant 64 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: or lip fillers to uh to shift or burst or something. 65 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: But didn't you don't you think she was warned about that? 66 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: Or do you think she doesn't care or she has 67 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 4: so much money. I mean, look, she's with Jeff Bezos. 68 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: She has so much fun be done. 69 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: But you don't want that to ruin the excitement of 70 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: the trip, you know, I wonder women. Yeah, I mean, 71 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: well she'd have to ad, wouldn't you ask? 72 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 3: Yes, of course I would not. Botox. 73 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 4: Everybody gets botox. No, that's not a big deal. I'm 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: I was more concerned about the breast implants. 75 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: Oh I didn't. 76 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: I haven't gotten botox, So it's not everybody, but a 77 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: lot of people. 78 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: Botox is pretty cool, common, right, I told you I 79 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 4: have had botox before.

It's 88 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 4: it's pretty minor compared to what some people. 89 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: Do, what Lauren sand just does. 90 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 4: I didn't say her. I'm not calling her out specifically. 91 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: Well, they did a study at Yale found that women 92 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: with breast implants sometimes experience discomfort when flying at high altitudes. 93 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: It's caused by the accumulation of Perry implant gas. 94 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: There's pressure changes. 95 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: And you might feel a sensation of tightness or discomfort 96 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: in the breasts. But moderate implants are made with cohesive 97 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: gels and stronger shells and are less likely to be 98 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: affected by this sort of thing. 99 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 3: Oh, well, there you go.

It was a 213 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: Molotov cocktail at two o'clock in the morning. His name's 214 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 2: Cody Balmer and he has been arrested on attempted murder charges. 215 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: He got inside the governor's mansion and the family was 216 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 2: living on the on the other side of the of 217 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 2: the home, and his plan was to beat Josh shot 218 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: beat Josh Shapiro with a hammer. Wild story, and that 219 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: is coming up in just a few minutes. I don't 220 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 2: know if if you've been following this story. It's it's 221 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 2: been going on for weeks. 222 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: You know. 223 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 2: Trump deported hundreds of illegal aliens who were violent gang members, 224 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 2: many of them from Venezuela Trend Diragua. And also there 225 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: were some El Salvador and MS thirteen gang members, and 226 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 2: MS thirteen is an extremely vicious, bloodthirsty set of psychopaths. Well, 227 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: there was one guy that was deported to El Salvador 228 00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: and he was deported and he should not have been 229 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: because proper procedure wasn't followed. And in fact, the administration 230 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: admitted that they made an administrative error. I doubt they 231 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: really made an error, but that's what they admitted to. 232 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: And so the Supreme Court, the US Supreme Court says 233 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: that you've got to bring him back to the country. 234 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: And today Trump held a public. 235 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 2: Appearance with the President of Al Salvador, Naive Bukeley. Now 236 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: Bukeley is getting six million dollars a year to run 237 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 2: this well to how'se deported violent illegal aliens in his 238 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: Supermac's prison. That's the prison where you've seen the guys. 239 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 2: They're all dressed in tidy whiteies. They're all tattooed from 240 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: the top of their head all the way down to 241 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: their toes, and they lay by the hundreds on the 242 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 2: floor and it is it is just the the most constricted, 243 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: brutal situation imaginable. But bu Kelly decided to round up 244 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: all the gang members and murderers and bad guys in L. Salvador, 245 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: and I think the murderery drop by something like ninety 246 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: seven percent. See, this is what you do here in 247 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: this country. We had these Venezuela and L. Salvador and 248 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: gang members running around killing us. And when Trump finally 249 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: sends them out, then you get judges going. You know, 250 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: the proper procedures weren't followed, the paperwork was not in order. 251 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: You know, in El Salvador. They just put guys away. 252 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: You're done well, you're a violent gang member, you've killed 253 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 2: people out and I like that way better. I would 254 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: much rather live in a country where they they grabbed 255 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: murderers off the street put them away for good in 256 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: some supermacs prison. I don't care if they get tortured. 257 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: I don't care if they get fed. I really don't 258 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: anymore here in this country. 259 00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: What do we do. 260 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: Remember that woman up in northern California, she went to 261 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: see her husband on a conjugal visit. We've got a guy, 262 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: a murderer in a California prison, sentenced to life. He 263 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: gets some conjugal visits, and what did he do? He 264 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: killed his wife. So anyway, the El Salvador president, naib Bukayley, 265 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: he held a press conference with Trump and he said, look, 266 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: I have no ability to send this gang member. 267 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: Back to the US. 268 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: He goes, I hope you are not suggesting that I 269 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: smuggled terrorists into the United States. That's what he said 270 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: to reporters. Of course, I'm not going to do it. 271 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: The question is preposterous. I don't have the power to 272 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: return into the United States. I just this is great. 273 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: The reporters are all aghast, right, because you had two guys, 274 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: Bukali and Trump. They're defying the US Supreme Court over 275 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: a gang or a murderous gang member not getting his 276 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: proper his proper procedure. It's called the Terrorism Confinement Center. 277 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: It's known as SEACOTT in l Salvador, and it was 278 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty gang members. And this is when 279 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 2: Trump invoked the seventeen ninety eight Alien Enemies Act, which 280 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: the courts have upheld that's that's okay to do that. 281 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: But apparently this particular prisoner, his name. 282 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 2: Is what is his name, Kilar Abrego Garcia is his name, 283 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 2: and they said he there's been two court decisions that 284 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: tied him to MS thirteen. The first ruling was in 285 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: April twenty nineteen, they said he was a verified member, 286 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: and then that December, the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld 287 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: of the ruling, and but an immigration judge barred the 288 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: government from removing Abrego Garcia because he had an asylum application. 289 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 2: This MS thirteen gang member was claiming he could face 290 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: persecution if he goes. 291 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: Back home from other gangs. 292 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: And Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, said the foreign 293 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: policy of the United States is conducted by the President 294 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 2: of the United States, not by a court. I don't 295 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: understand what the confusion is. This individual is a citizen 296 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: of El Salvador. He was illegally in the United States 297 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: and returned to his country. That's where you deport people 298 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 2: back to their country of origin. The Wiener Washington reporters 299 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 2: have been banging on this drum for weeks now that 300 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: this is the greatest civil rights and justice in the 301 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: history of man. 302 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: I just wanted you to know this. 303 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: This guy really is a vicious MS thirteen gang member. 304 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: There's nobody that cares that he got deported to a 305 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 2: supermax prison and he's in his own country and the 306 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: president of that country doesn't want to release him. So 307 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 2: that's the real story. We come back Joshapiro, the governor 308 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: at Pennsylvania.

I'm talking about. 338 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 4: Anywhere, John, I'm talking about when it was happening. 339 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 3: So it was an event. 340 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 4: It wasn't a non event when it was shaking and 341 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 4: it was going on. Maybe now it's not an event. 342 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 2: All right, Let's talk to Sasha Pezzinic. I'm sure Peznik 343 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: sorry about that. Sasha is with ABC News and he's 344 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: she's got the latest on Josh Shapiro at the Pennsylvania 345 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: Governor's mansion getting the mansion broken into last night, but 346 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 2: by some crazy guy at two in the morning who 347 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: fire bombed the place. Let's talk to Sasha. Now, how 348 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 2: are you? Thank you for coming on? 349 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 6: Hey, John, thanks for having me. 350 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, what happened last night? 351 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 6: So this was a Saturday night, actually the first night 352 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 6: of Passover, and police say and Arthnis tried to kill 353 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 6: Pennsylvania Governor Joshapiro by going in fire bombing his official residence. 354 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 6: That he used a Lolotov cocktail that he made from 355 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 6: beer bottles and gasoline that he took from a lawnmower. 356 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 6: Shapiro and his family were actually inside the home at 357 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 6: the time. The fire was reported around two am Sunday morning, 358 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 6: out of Saturday night, after they had celebrated the first 359 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 6: night of Passover. Those swains absolutely and engulfed that that 360 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 6: very room where they had had their passover Sader. Now, 361 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 6: everybody's fine, Police day. They were evacuated safely and no 362 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 6: one was injured, though those parts of the house were 363 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 6: left charred and part of the mansion was absolutely left 364 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 6: uninhabitable for now. So this guy who allegedly is responsible 365 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 6: for this, it's a thirty eight year old mechanic from 366 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 6: the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area. Cody Balmer is his name. Police 367 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 6: have now charged him with attempted murder, aggravated arson, and terrorism. 368 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 6: They say that he breached part of the fence of 369 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 6: the governor's residence to hop over and make his way inside, 370 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 6: breaking a window with a hammer, where he allegedly set 371 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 6: the fire with those Molotov cocktails. And so, after turning 372 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 6: himself in, he allegedly admitted to police that he harbored hatred, 373 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 6: he hated Governor Shapiro, and asked what would happen if 374 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 6: Governor Shapiro had happened upon him caught him in the 375 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 6: act that night, He said that he would have beaten 376 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 6: him with a hammer with his hammer that he used 377 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 6: to break through the windows there. So now investigators are 378 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 6: setting about the work of pouring over everything that could 379 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 6: possibly give them clues about why he allegedly did this 380 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 6: and why. 381 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 2: Now, well, Shapiro is Jewish and it was Passover. Did 382 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 2: did bomber say anything specifically about that angle. 383 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 6: That's a great question and that's something that investigators are 384 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 6: going to be looking into. We do know, obviously, it 385 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 6: was the first night of Passover. We know that Governor 386 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 6: Shapiro had tweeted out a picture of his passover table 387 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 6: just hours before this alleged attack happened. And so police 388 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 6: are not ruling out whether Shapiro's face could have played 389 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 6: a role in this, or whether Balmer, allegedly responsible for this, 390 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 6: had some mental troubles or some financial troubles that he 391 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 6: was grappling with at the same time. All of that 392 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 6: is part of the mix and the mosaics that they're 393 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 6: now putting together and trying to figure out how this 394 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 6: could have happened. 395 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: So we don't know much about this guy's background. 396 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 6: We know these mechanics from the area. We know that 397 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 6: police are looking into possible financial issues, foreclosure proceedings, and 398 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 6: otherwise they're pouring over everything that could give them any 399 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 6: any clues. They say he was really methodical in his 400 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 6: approach to the alleged attacking. He didn't hurry. He clearly 401 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 6: had a plan here one one lucky happenstance. I will 402 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 6: say about this, as much as he may have allegedly 403 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 6: had planned out methodically this attack, the door from the 404 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 6: main dining room in the Governor's house was closed at 405 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 6: the time that these fires were were set, which kept 406 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 6: the flames from spreading into the rest of the house, 407 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 6: into the living quarters. 408 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: So that. 409 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 6: Stemmed the fire from from spreading as they could have 410 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 6: much further. 411 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: All right, well, thanks very much for coming on with us. 412 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, you bet. 413 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: Sasha Peesnik with the ABC News.

They charged him with attempted homicide, aggravated arson, burglary, 417 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: reckless endangerment, terrorism, loitering, and two counts of aggravated assault. 418 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: So that's what they do in Pennsylvania. Here, he would 419 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: have gotten a ticket to appear for a misdemeanor. And 420 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 2: I'm just looking to see if they found any more 421 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 2: details on the background of this guy because he looks 422 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 2: extremely scary. Oh, they were contacted by the investigators were 423 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 2: contacted by a woman who identified herself as Bomber's ex girlfriend. 424 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 2: This guy had a girlfriend too. That's fascinating if you 425 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: saw him. Freaky looking guy. He has got a thin 426 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 2: oval face, frightening beard, scary eyes. And he had taken 427 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 2: gasoline from the lawnmower and poured it into of beer 428 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: bottles to make Molotov cocktails. This is what he admitted to. 429 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 2: And they found They found his clothing that he used 430 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: to start the fire. They matched it with what was 431 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 2: on the surveillance footage, the black bag, the sledgehammer. Yeah, 432 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 2: and he'd had some financial issues. He had a domestic 433 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: violence issue too in the past. 434 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: More coming up. 435 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI. 436 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: A moist sign right, that's coming back this Friday, eight 437 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 2: seven seven Moist eighty six, eight seven seven Moist eighty six. 438 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 2: Just in a few minutes after Deborah's news, Alex Stone 439 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 2: from ABC News coming on.

Also, you may have heard over 443 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: the weekend their aunt was found unresponsive and the family 444 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 2: is saying that it's because of the crime scene photos. Well, 445 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 2: then she shouldn't have gone to the hearing, right if 446 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 2: she's that sensitive to what her nephews did. All that 447 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 2: coming up after two o'clock here over the weekend, they 448 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: tried to bury this news. Steve Soberoff is finally done 449 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: as the recoveries are to rebuild Pacific Palisades. 450 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: You remember this guy. He dropped from sight. 451 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 2: Once he realized he wasn't going to make five hundred 452 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: and sixty seven thousand dollars for three months work. I 453 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 2: think he suddenly lost interest in rebuilding. He was well 454 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: known develop her. He's always been involved in city politics, 455 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: and Karen Bass hired him to oversee the first phase 456 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: of the recovery, and she claimed, there is no one 457 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: better equipped to create our rebuilding plan, no one better equipped. 458 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 2: I mean, he'd lived in Pacific Palisades for thirty six years, 459 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 2: but he only lasted ninety days as the chief recovery 460 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 2: officer because he and Karen Bass have had a big 461 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 2: falling out because he wanted money and once it leaked 462 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: that he was going to get a fortune. She didn't 463 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 2: want to pay it anymore. First, The New York Times 464 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 2: even did a story on this. Steve sober Off at 465 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 2: the first meeting, told Bass he needed to be paid 466 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 2: now again. This guy is seventy six years old and 467 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: has made millions of dollars. He said the work was 468 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 2: so time consuming he'd have to step away from his 469 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 2: private business. I said, this is seventeen hours a day, 470 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 2: seven days a week. 471 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: I can't volunteer for this. 472 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: I thought I should make at least as much as 473 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 2: an average lawyer. So I figured that was going to 474 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 2: be three four hundred dollars an hour. And it comes 475 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 2: to what looks like a lot. Doesn't look like a lot. 476 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: It is a lot. Raise your hand if you think 477 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 2: five hundred and sixty seven thousand dollars for three months 478 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 2: work is a lot. 479 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 3: I take it. 480 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: That's how much. 481 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, that's how much money this guy is has. 482 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: He goes, yo, No, it looks like a lot. Yeah, 483 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: it looks like just the perception. Good lord. So he's 484 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: going to get five hundred and sixty seven grand. And 485 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 2: then they were going to rig this where some private 486 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: philanthropy outlets. We're going to supply the money would be 487 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: privately donated until I read there was a story that 488 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: those charities found out where the money was going. I 489 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 2: guess they thought the money was going for real fire recovery, 490 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: not to pay an old rich guy. And then they 491 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: bitched and complained and Bass had to call and say, 492 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 2: I can't do this because La Times reported on it. 493 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: In fact, they had the details, and Bass and sober 494 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: Off got blasted.
