1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: We have something of a breaking story. We're gathering the audio. 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Eighty nine year old US Senator Chuck Grassley, the Republican 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: from Iowa, just laid into Garcetti, Oh all these concerns. 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Of course, Garcetti's nomination to him to be ambassador to 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: India about eleven in a clip we got a hold of. 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: We're going to have to try to maybe edit it 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: a bit. But Chuck Grassley has been in the Senate 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty one. He went on eleven minutes about Garcetti. Yeah, well, 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: he his office conducted their own investigation into the sex 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: harassment story involving the former Garcetti, ad Rick Jacobs, and 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: I think that has led him to very strongly oppose 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: this nomination. And that's probably what we're going to hear, 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: so stand by for that. It'll come up later this hour. 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: But we're hoping, because remember they thought they might be 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: able to sneak the nomination through the Senate during this 16 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: December kind of lame duck sessions. He's not going to 17 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: let them. That's making a case not to do it. 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if this means for his activity on 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: that front. I can't tell. I just got it forwarded 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: by a listener and it's you know, yeah, there is 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: a two minute at forty five second version on YouTube. 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: No wait, now I got the eleven minute version here. 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, well, Eric's working on it, so we'll 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: get a good piece to play because the headline is 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: he laces into Garsetti in strong opposition to his nominal. Yeah, 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: that's it's it's on YouTube if you type in that 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: exact phrase, Chuck gradually laces into Eric Garcetti. It's like 28 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: a C SPAN thing, I think. Er. All right, well, 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to Alex Stone, ABC News for kf I. 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: We mentioned this briefly earlier in the show, and it 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: might be a big breakthrough. Scientist at the Lawrence Livermore 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: National Laboratory here in California have gun research to create 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: clean energy through fusion. Let's bring on Alex to talk 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: more about the details of this and what it might mean. 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure Alex you'll be able to explain this few 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: great details for us. I should start by saying I 37 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: think I flunked science class in high schools. Take anything 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: I say with a grain as sign not a physics major. Huh. Yeah, 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're journalists, right, we don't we don't 40 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: do well in math and tis for journalists. We don't 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: know things. So the more than just research, they've actually 42 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: done it now that they have found a way to 43 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: produce energy the way that the sun and stars do it. 44 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: And this is something that scientists globally, but especially at 45 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: the Lawrence Livermore Labs, did They have been working on 46 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: for a very long time, going back to the nineteen fifties. 47 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: They've been trying to figure out how to do it 48 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: a nuclear fusion, which has been elusive, and now globally 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: scientists are looking and saying, wow, they have done this. 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: This is a very big deal. Energy Secretary Jennifer Graholme 51 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: today saying this is one of the most impressive scientific 52 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: feats of the twenty first century. And the way President 53 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: Biden apparently put it today you fill in the blanks 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: on the letters, I do think he probably did say 55 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: this is a BFDD, Yeah, I got it. So fusion 56 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: happens when two atoms slam together. They're they're put together, 57 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: they make one bigger atom produces an incredible amount of energy, 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: and that's what they have done and make energy out 59 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: of it. They had figured out how to do fusion 60 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: before this, where they were putting in more energy than 61 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: they were getting out. Now they have flipped that around 62 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: and they're getting out more energy than they're putting in, 63 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: and boom, they're they're getting what they want. It's like 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: nuclear energy, but without the dangerous waste coming out of it. 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: Nearly unlimited. You're not talking about solar power where at 66 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: nighttime you can't produce it, wind power where you don't 67 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: have wind, coal power where you don't have coal, natural gas, 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: all that. Talk to a professor at UCLA at the 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: Plasma Science and Technology Institute. This is what he studies, 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: this is what he's been working on, Professor Troy Carter. 71 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: He said, this has been kind of a holy rail 72 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: of energy for many years, and this announcement is going 73 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: to tell us about how, for the first time in 74 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: the lab, we've achieved net energy out of this type 75 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: of reaction. So what they believe is in about ten 76 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: years could become commercially available to power up communities as 77 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: a way of making power with zero carbon output, no 78 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: smoke coming out, no gases coming out, unlimited supplies, And 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: he added, you're not going to get a you know, mister, 80 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: fusion on your DeLorean anytime soon. But we're hopeful that 81 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: this kind of this, this result and the research and 82 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: development's going to happen subsequently could lead to fusion on 83 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: the grid perhaps next next decade. Yeah, I was surprised, 84 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: he said, within ten years. Maybe it seems really quick 85 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: to go from this to building reactors. And because this 86 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: was two hundred gigantic lasers, right, yeah, so one hundred 87 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: ninety six almost two hundred lasers that they used shot them. 88 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: The laser array was the size of a stadium. They 89 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: shot it a couple of football fields and distance to 90 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: a piece of metal. The fuel the size of a 91 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: pencil eraser. They heated that up to five million degrees 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: aaron height and then it for one billionth of a second. 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: They got the reaction that they wanted. Now they got 94 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: to figure out how do they make it scale start 95 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: so on that one billionth of a second, they were 96 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: able to have enough energy to power the entire globe 97 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: in that one billionth of a second. But they say, 98 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: now they've got to stretch that out a little bit. 99 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: But wait, say there was enough energy to power the 100 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: globe out of that one billionth of a second, the 101 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: entire globe. Out of that one billionth of a second, 102 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: where did the energy go? Then they had something there. Yeah, 103 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: it was a tiny explosion, and then we'll are you know, 104 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: big in that in that very split second and then 105 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: it was gone. So they got to Now there's a 106 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: lot of hurdles that they need to overcome. They've got 107 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: to figure out the laser system and uh in the 108 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: lasers that are going to be able to produce more 109 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: for less and length and all that. The other thing though, 110 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: that they're looking at is they believe that this is 111 00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: a huge boost to our national security in that that 112 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: they will be able to develop weapons that would be 113 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: nuclear but not have the harmful side effects of dropping 114 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon, So you wouldn't be killing the public 115 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: for many years to come and that so we can 116 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: just kill people instantly, and there's no precise nuclear weapon 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: have to do nuclear testing because it wouldn't be you 118 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't have to figure out the damage that would be 119 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: done long term and all that. They would be able 120 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: to do a lot of it in the lab. So yeah, 121 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: he would do damage in that moment, but generations later 122 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't be dealing with thembody tell putin. So there seems 123 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: to be no downsides to this. There's no dangers involved. 124 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. So they're saying that if you 125 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: had a reactor that went offline, that you know, you 126 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't have Chernobyl going on that that it would just 127 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: go offline, that when it shuts down with fusion, it 128 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: would just shut down. And this is how the Sun 129 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: creates energy. Yeah, this is the Sun and stars and 130 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: they're replicating that. All right, Alex, thank you very much. 131 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: So you did very well and half right, but there 132 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: you go. They're gonna find who your physics teacher was. 133 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: All right, that's a hell stone. ABC News for KFI 134 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: about the announcement today made by the National Ignition Facility. 135 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: That's a division within Lawrence Live, a more lab up 136 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: in the Bay area. And ignition, by the way, means 137 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: that you are able to get more energy out of 138 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: the process than you put in. That's the word that 139 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: they use for it, and that's what they achieved recently. 140 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: It's a big, big milestone and what they call the 141 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: road towards fusion energy. You see now these geniuses right 142 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: creating fusion energy. They're replicating the Sun. But these are 143 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: the real hero. Yes, Gavin Newsom is prattling about wind. Yeah, yes, 144 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: he's rattling about rattling about wind. Did you see they 145 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: just had a big auction for offshore projects in California. 146 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: They netted hundreds of billions of dollars. We sold wind, 147 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: but who bought most of the uh whatever they're called license, 148 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: they're European outfits. European companies are buying our wind. They well, 149 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: they probably sell it back to US as an energy source. 150 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: Yet Oh so they'll they'll collect our wind and then 151 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: make a profit reselling it. Yeah, because it's probably a 152 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: pretty expensive thing, and who knows how successful it's going 153 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: to be. I know what happened with Europe, as you said, 154 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: the winds when we're not producing as much in the 155 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: last couple of hours. So they're gonna take our wind? Huh. 156 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so. 157 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: I think because it's an auction off our shores, I 158 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: don't think there. I think it's to be sounds like 159 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: a scam. But okay, all right, when we come back, 160 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: we will play for you this brand new audio. US 161 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, a Republican. It was on 162 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: one of the important committees dealing with the nomination of 163 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: Eric Garcetti to become the next ambassador to India. He 164 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: had put a hold on the nomination some time ago. 165 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: He did over this sex harassment story which has been 166 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: bouncing around for years and as a resulted in a lawsuit. 167 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: And there are former employees of Garcetti in the mayor's 168 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: office saying that this former aide, Rick Jacobs, was unbelievable 169 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: sexual harasser and that Garcetti probably knew about it or 170 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: just ignored it and didn't do anything about it. Johnny 171 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: ken caf I AM six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. Well, 172 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: we just got word this afternoon that a powerful United 173 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: States Senator, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who's been in that 174 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: seat since nineteen eighty one. The men is almost ninety 175 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: years old, just got reelected. Yeah, he didn He's going 176 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: to go into at least ninety five. Yes, bolder than Biden. 177 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: He vented about Eric Garcetti blasted them. Now. The subject, 178 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: of course, is Garcetti's proposed nomination to be the next 179 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: ambassador to India. About a year and a half that's 180 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: been out there. Biden first Biden administration made the announcement 181 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty twenty one, and it has not 182 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: moved through the Senate, and it got stalled out because 183 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: of the Rick Jacobs sexual scandal. That's Garcetti's aide who 184 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: was groping, fondling, and kissing on the mouth all these 185 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: men and women that he'd see in the office and 186 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: on official events. There's lawsuit from a LAPD cop who 187 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: was Garcetti's driver. Everybody says Garcetti knew about what was 188 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: going on, who was told it happened in front of 189 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: him at times, and Garcetti was worried that someday it 190 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: was going to come back to bite him. And the 191 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: key was a woman who used to be Garcities to spokeshold, 192 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: Naomi Seligmann. She went to a whistleblower organization and they 193 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: made this a big story because this is what they do. 194 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: They got the attention of the US Senate and especially 195 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: Chuck Rassley. Garcetti's domination made it through a committee. All 196 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: that was left was a vote on the floor of 197 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: the US Senate. Of course, at the time fifty fifty 198 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris being the tie. It was determined that the 199 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: votes aren't there because a couple of Democrats were also 200 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: hesitant to vote for Garcetti. Grassley then conducted his own 201 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: investigation after the whistleblower report and it came back and 202 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: he said, basically the results were Garcetti either knew about this, 203 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: or saw this, or in any way condone this. Because 204 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: he did not do anything about Jacob's behavior with Garcetti 205 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: at an office as of yesterday, and this lame duck 206 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: session going on till the end of the year before 207 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: the Republicans take over, a lot of people thought, well, 208 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: now the Democrats are going to sneak this through, this 209 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: would be the time, and that's probably why we got 210 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: this speech today from Chuck Grassley. Here is a few 211 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: minutes with respect to Mayor Garcetti. Several credible whistleblowers approached 212 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: my office about concerning allegations that he was aware of 213 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: and enabled his deputy chief of staff Rick Jacobs to 214 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: sexually harass several employees within the mayor's office. These men 215 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: and women alleged that Ric Jacobs engaged in inappropriate physical 216 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: conduct without their consent. The alleged that Jacobs made crude 217 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: sexual remarks and gestures towards staff and others. The alleged 218 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: that he made blatantly racist remarks towards Asians and other minorities. 219 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: These allegations have also been publicly reported in the Los 220 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: Angeles Times. Text messages made public by the Los Angeles 221 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: Times indicate that these incisents were common knowledge among the 222 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: Garcetti's staff. One picture that's been made public shows Jacob 223 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: inappropriately touching an individual next to him. In the picture, 224 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: Mayor Garcetti is standing on the other side of mister Jacobs. 225 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: For Marre Garcatia to claim that he didn't know what 226 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: was going on defis defies reason. There's also a pending 227 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: lawsuit by the Los Angeles Police officer against the City 228 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles as a result of this type of 229 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: disgracial behavior. The kinds of behavior mentioned in the lawsuit 230 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: includes jacobuss subjecting the police officer to unwanted hugs, shoulder massages, 231 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: and crude sexual language. In total, my office identified over 232 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: nineteen individuals who've either witness Jacob's behavior or were the 233 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: victims of it. So who are these brave and courageous 234 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: individuals who made these allegations? Are they Republican operatives. No, 235 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: they're his former communication director, senior staffers, junior staffers, businessmen, 236 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: civic leaders, and the Los Angeles Police Department officer assigned 237 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: to protect them. Despite attempts by Mayor Garcetti and the 238 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: Biden administration, the frame complaints against him as a political 239 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: hit job. Some of the individuals who've come forward and 240 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: shed light on misconduct are from Mayor Garcetti's own staff. 241 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: How hypocritical is it for this administration to encourage victims 242 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: of sexual harassment to speak out, yet when they do 243 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: so against a powerful ally of Joe Biden, they're ignored. 244 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,119 Speaker 1: And they've been ignored in this matter, even after providing 245 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: evidence of harassment, including photographs and text matches. Yes, that 246 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: photograph he's talking about, we talked about that with John 247 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: that he's got his hand over the tdential area of 248 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: a man standing next to him. Jacobs do us and 249 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: gar said, he's in the picture, yeah, smiling. They're smiling. 250 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know how whoever took the picture didn't 251 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: make a sound like a rick come on, and they 252 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: all knew probably what he was dealing. Well, you could 253 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: see it if a guy puts his hand over your crotch. Crotch, Yes, yes, 254 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: I think that's the technical of the medical word for it. 255 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: We have another two minutes of chuck grassler. Let's see 256 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: what's in this half. The report includes an interview with 257 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: Jacobs in which he admits he used racist language, kissing, bugging, 258 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: and squeezing people's shoulders. The report also identifies the individual 259 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: in the lude photo I mentioned earlier. The report says 260 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: that the individual stated that Jacob's actions weren't funny and 261 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: embarrassed that person. That makes it clear. It makes it 262 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: clear non consensual physical contact occurred. It's evidence that sexual 263 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: harassment occurred. Oddly, the report makes no attempt, no attempt 264 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: whatsoever to reconcile how it can conclude there was no 265 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: sexual harassment after clearly describing sexual harassment throughout. These aren't 266 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: acts of transparency. These are acts to sweep this whole 267 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: thing under the rug. Although Mayor Garcetti may be indifferent 268 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: to the allegations and the actions of his deputy chief 269 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: of staff, my colleagues and I have a duty to 270 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: take such concerning allegations and take it very serious, whether 271 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: here in the United States or abroad. There's no place 272 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: for sexual misconduct or racism. Mari Garcetti had countless opportunities 273 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: over the years of stand up for victims by removing 274 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: his chief deputy chief of staff, which he failed to do. 275 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: So these fundamental failures by mere Garcetti incompatible with the 276 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: office that he seeks. Therefore, I can't in good conscious 277 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: vote for him. I strongly encourage my colleagues to review 278 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: all this evidence found in my investigative report, as well 279 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: as what's reported in the press. The facts and the 280 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: evidence compailed me to vote, and I hope my colleagues 281 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: will join me in doing the same. I yield the floor. 282 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: So does that mean they're moving towards a vote? Do 283 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: we know that? I've been trying to find on law. 284 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: I know because this is usually the warm up for 285 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: a vote. They make their speeches four and against right. Yeah, 286 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: I wonder if somehow they've decided that now is the 287 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: time to try for the nomination. We'll have to keep 288 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: an eye on that, because we don't know now it's 289 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: until Usually it's fifty fifty, it's gonna be fifty one 290 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: forty nine Democrats. Usually you don't you don't put it 291 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: up for a vote list. You absolutely know you've got it, 292 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: got it, because nobody likes to lose publicly. There was 293 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: only a handful of Democrat holdouts. So remember there was 294 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: I believe a Hawaiian senator and somebody from Arizona ken 295 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly, and I'm sure there were some who just 296 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: didn't want to take the risk while they're running for office. 297 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: Or yeah, there might be something or not on the 298 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: recording that but they're against it while or while the 299 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: mid terms were up in the air. They didn't want 300 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: any bad publicity surrounding Democratic senators. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. 301 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: I can't. You know, he did it on the floor 302 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: like a speech, Like I could. I just couldn't figure 303 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: out if this was just a speech out of nowhere, 304 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: or this is part of the official demmination. You can 305 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: find out if they're trying to move the nomination through 306 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: the Senate sometime this week, because Chuck Grassley just made 307 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: his speech opposing the nomination of Eric Garcetti as an 308 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: ext ambassador to India.

They have a 330 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: section entitled Curbed, and I guess it's about transportation issues. 331 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: It's a long article about Eric Garcetti's broken sidewalks. How 332 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: he made a big splash that he was going to 333 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: fix all the sidewalks in La. Yeah, it was gonna 334 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: be the back to basics mayor. That's what he said. 335 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: Safe sidewalks LA was the name of it. Five and 336 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: a half years later, he only repaired one percent of 337 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: LA sidewalks. One percent. Remember they came up with that 338 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: plan that they were going to make homeowners sharing the cost. 339 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: The sidewalks were often broken because the tree roots just 340 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: pop out and rip the sidewalk up. Yeah, well that's 341 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: a pretty comprehensive story on that too. But at twenty fifteen, 342 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: the city attorney agreed to pay out almost a billion 343 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 1: and a half dollars for a class action disability access 344 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: lawsuit because the broken sidewalks and crosswalks were so unsafe 345 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: that disabled people couldn't move freely around the city. Billion 346 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: and a half dollars because LA hadn't had a sidewalk 347 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: program since the nineteen seventies. So after that, Garcetti had 348 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: had the big media event and it was gonna be 349 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: all this sidewalk reconstruction, and he only got to one percent. Yeah, 350 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: so we'll get into that in detail tomorrow. I mean, 351 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: he is chest. He is just one of the calls 352 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: oh oh. In the story, it points out that Garcetti, 353 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: in one twelve month period, was out of town for 354 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve days while he was testing the 355 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: waters for a presidential run. One hundred and twelve days 356 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: he was out doing reconnaissance work to run for president. 357 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: Now he's an awful liar and hopefully his nomination is doomed. 358 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: But we'll stand by and see who we can find out. Now, 359 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: the other OAF we talk about is Governor Dippity Do. 360 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: This is a bit puzzling, except if you're running for president. 361 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: He did go to the border yesterday. He went down 362 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: to Imperial County. He visited the US side, and then 363 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: he crossed over to the Mexican side of the border. 364 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: He wanted to tell all the assembled medius, like the time, 365 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: set two reporters to cover his times, ever sent two 366 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: reporters to cover the actual border invasion that's been going 367 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: on in Texas. Now. He claims that California spent nearly 368 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 1: a billion dollars working with nonprofits to provide immigrants released 369 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: from federal detention with health screening, temporary shelter and help 370 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: connecting with sponsors over the last three years, and a 371 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: bunch of facilities down there in Imperial, San Diego and 372 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: Riverside Counties. So part of it was to obviously make 373 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: his appearance on a national topic, but he also ding 374 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: the Republicans and the federal government. We have a part 375 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: of the video that he released from his visit. He's 376 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: got back from Mexicali, which is on the other side 377 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: of the border, while had the opportunity to meet with 378 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: the governor and meet with some international and hereditarian leaders 379 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: as well as many migrants from Haiti, from Guatemala and 380 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: from parts of Mexico that are waiting for their asylum 381 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: processing right here at the border. So we're here now 382 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: on the other side in Calexo and here just to 383 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: get an understanding and being understanding of what the world 384 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: looks like. Pre title forty two and whatever likely a 385 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: few weeks his halting speech forty two and post forty two. Yeah, yeah, 386 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: because that is the big story this week. Title forty two, 387 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: which was a health order imposed during the Trump administration 388 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: dealing with COVID, and it gave a border patrol, the 389 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: ability to throw migrants right back over the border because 390 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: of the health emergency is going to expire. They're gonna 391 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: let it go days away. There's already been an impact. 392 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: Stories are coming out about how Texas El Paso is 393 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: being overrun with migrants. Some of the numbers apparently are 394 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: just like off of the charts. The title of this 395 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: story and the Daily Mail is at the end of 396 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: title forty two, two thousand, four hundred and sixty migrants 397 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 1: crossed over the weekend into El Paso, and with eight 398 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: days until title forty two ends, the numbers will grow 399 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: even bigger. So the people that are already anticipating the 400 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: end of title forty two and then supposed the title 401 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: forty two ends and it'll be an even bigger mob. Yeah, no, 402 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: they're all they're all poised and ready to go. In 403 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: the age of social media, there are many thousands and 404 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: thousands of want to be immigrants that are all ready 405 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: to head to the United States knowing that they're not 406 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: going to be they're not going to be stopped this time, 407 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: and yeah, exactly, And the anticipation is that these numbers 408 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: will get really big. Newsom apparently took shots at Republicans 409 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: because they're blocking comprehensive immigration reform. That's amnesty. Yeah, they're 410 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: blocking amnesty, So go ahead and take your shots. So 411 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: what in fact, all that he was bragging about there 412 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: was about rewarding a legal aliens for their journey. If 413 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: you think Title forty two is going to lead to 414 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: a crush at the border, just try an amnesty bill. 415 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: Do you know what that's gonna do to the rest 416 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: of the world. They're all gonna say, if I can 417 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: get into the United States, my day will come. I'll 418 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: get amnesty. We've been through this problem before, since the 419 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: Create Amnesty of nineteen eighty six. What a debacle that was. 420 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: And then don't remember all those attempts by John McCain. Yeah, 421 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: call it a banana if you want to remember that 422 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: whole Oh yeah, because amnesty got such a bad stink 423 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: to it that he said, well, I don't care what 424 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: you call it. You can call it a banana. But 425 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: all this stuff is about amnesty. I mean, they're working 426 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: on some compromise bill now between the soft headed Republicans 427 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: and some of the Democrats to create amnesty for the dreamers. 428 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: Everything's about amnesty, nothing about enforcement. And that's why there's 429 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: never a deal, because there was supposed to be a 430 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: deal in Reagan's time when he allowed that amnesty and 431 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: the other half of the deal was enforcement, and they 432 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: never followed through on that, And so that's why nobody's 433 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: ever trusted the issue ever again, nobody's ever agreed because 434 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: the enforcement never comes. All right, we got more coming up. 435 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: It's a Johnny Ken Show kf I AM six forty 436 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: live Everywhere the Eye Radio app Well. A bit more 437 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: chaos today at the Los Angeles City Colouncil meeting. This 438 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: is their last of the year, but the new members joined, 439 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: and so did Kevin de Leone, who eventually made his 440 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: way to a back room so he could hide from 441 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: all the protesters. We have some of the audio to play. 442 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: They did approve Karen Bass's homeless emergency declarations, so the 443 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: standard emergency is an effect. Officials, Now, officials, Okay, where's 444 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: the alarm? Fie. People will have to know the state 445 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: of emergency. Get to your bout stations. So now that 446 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: it's been formally approved, I would expect tomorrow, John, when 447 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: you go for your bagel run, the homeless should be gone, 448 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: right maybe, because that's how it works. Yeah, maybe the 449 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: crazy lady is screaming at her imaginary friend will have dispersed. 450 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: That was today's encounter.

They're Angelinos. 473 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: They are That's right. That's what we mean by normalizing 474 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: all of this. You have to accept it, and that's 475 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: what you gotta fight. I just I told you I was. 476 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: I was looking for news on Eric Arsetti and I 477 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: looked at Eric Garcetti's Twitter and he's updated it since 478 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: he's no longer mayor. Yes, and the first word he 479 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: uses to describe himself in his bio is Angelina period 480 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: a proud Angelino Angelina. I'll also talk about that hotel 481 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: story you mentioned. The La Times did his story on 482 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: a downtown Los Angeles hotel which is designed to take 483 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: in people for low income housing but stands empty. We'd 484 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: a puzzler. We talked about that hotel a few years ago. 485 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: Remember the mysterious m murder the woman that I don't 486 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: think it was a murder. I thought it was a murder. 487 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: The woman that was found dead floating in the tank 488 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: on the top of the hotel. Yeah, somebody killed. No, 489 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: not a murder, well no, no, no, no, no. They 490 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: believed that she was a delusion and just jumped in 491 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: there and drowned. I don't think it was a murder. 492 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you're right. I could be wrong, but I don't 493 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: think it was a murder. I think Cecil hotel. I 494 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: think it was a person that had severe mental problem, 495 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: break with reality, probably right. I mean, I guess they 496 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: thought it was a murder at first, and then I 497 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: think they did because it was some sort of a 498 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: tankle like a water tank on top of the because 499 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: I was like, I remember the thing we kept saying, 500 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: this is imagine running the water and she was decaying 501 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: and oh yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Not 502 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: a pleasant thought. All. We'll get into all this in 503 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. One other note on the migrants 504 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: that we've been talking about, an unbelievable rush has already begun. 505 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: Because Title forty two is about to expire. It's off 506 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: the charts. The Heritage found Foundation did an investigation and 507 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: have run a story called Who's really facilitating America's Border crisis? 508 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: Biden isn't acting alone. And this is a new player 509 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: on the scene I hadn't thought of before. It's charitable 510 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: organizations among the big ones. Catholic charities and other non 511 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: government organizations are working in concert with the Biden administration 512 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: to facilitate the worst border crisis in American history. The 513 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: investigation but they did. They examine the movement of thirty 514 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: thousand mobile devices in the United States to get an 515 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: idea of what's going on, and the Heritage Foundation investigation 516 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: reveals how tens of thousands of illegal aliens are making 517 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: their way into the US interior thanks to the aid 518 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: and comfort of these organizations. Basically, what they do is 519 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: they find out from the border people when sort of 520 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: the detention facilities are full, and then they get in 521 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: there and they are maybe they act as sponsors whatever. 522 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: They take some of the migrants and they take them 523 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: to shelters to make sure they get into the United States. 524 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: Catholic Charities is the most recognizable name, but other organizations 525 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: are represented as well. Overflow from customs and Border protection 526 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: is being transferred to these organizations so that border patrol 527 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: can avoid overcrowded facilities. These organizations apply for and receive 528 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: taxpayer money to provide processing and transportation services and infrastructure 529 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: to facilitate the migration of illegal aliens into the interior 530 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: of the country. Catholic they're kind of a middleman. Yeah, 531 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: the Catholic Church is big on illegal immigration because a 532 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: lot of the American Catholics left the church. After all, 533 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: they want to build the church with migration, all the 534 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: presex scans, and they also believe that the world's poor 535 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: have to be taken care of by the rich. Oh yeah, no, 536 00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: the basic political philosophy of the Catholic Church is global socialism. Yeah, 537 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: we got to help all the poor people coming over 538 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: and then they're willing to jump in. But I think 539 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: you're right because a lot of these people are coming 540 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: from countries that are traditionally Catholic, Central America and South America. 541 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah right, right, South America too, So this just represents 542 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: an increase to their fold. So they did this using 543 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: these cell phone pings to figure out what was going on. 544 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: It's kind of a complicated story, but this is what 545 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: they came up with. They were tracing these cell phones 546 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: throughout the United States to see the movements of these 547 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: charities moving the migrants around all right. Coming up next 548 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: another Ratty Day at the La City Colouncil. It's their 549 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,239 Speaker 1: last meeting before well for this year.
