1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. You got one more I think one more

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: day the cash contest, I think it is. Yeah, that's right,

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: four more prizes to give away. Four more prizes will

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: begin with the keyword at two twenty. Well, you can

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: imagine our shock. Yesterday, of course, we were talking about

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: this guy that drove into the police recruits in Whittier

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: the other morning, Nicholas Coudiraz. We've learned his name, a

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: twenty two year old. And we had Sheriff Vietuava on

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: the show yesterday in the four o'clock hour who told

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: us their investigation revealed so far that it looked like

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: it was a deliberate act. That became pretty big news.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: And then you could imagine our shock. One hours later

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: we learned he'd been released. Yes, I woke up this morning,

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: which I do every morning. How does that make sense

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: in any world of criminal job. Well, it's La County

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: and George Gascone, but he's not involved yet. Typically, well,

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: this is why Steve Gregory is summoned to explain how

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: a guy that the sheriff announced a suspective and intentionally

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: mowing down twenty five police recruits is released the next

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: morning is it is it that bad even in La County.

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I was just as shocked as you guys. And I

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: was coming back last night from the preview of a

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: documentary on the Early City Fire Department, and it was

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: after ten o'clock and when by the time I got

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: to my home, I saw this alert and I thought

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: it was a mistake. What I thought it happened as

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: he bailed out, I did too. I had the same

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: thoughts that he failed out somehow, How the hell did

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: he come up with two millions in assets? You know,

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, wow, this, you know, there's a lot more

31
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: to the story here. And then when I started to

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: read and it's like, no, he's been released under a

33
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: very little known penal code, California penal code, which gives

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: law enforcement the ability to release somebody before they've been

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: arraigned if they feel like they can't hit that threshold

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: of evidentiary, you know, a proof to be able to

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: give to the court. It's been right, it's been My

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: understanding is, yes, sometimes investigations take a while and you

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: can't lock one someone up immediately, but that in a

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: case here where he's committed many crimes, that there's always

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: something you could hang a hook on to hold him

42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: temporarily until you hit him with the big hammer. Remember,

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: observing the crime, even on video, as rough as it was,

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: and eyewitness testimony as a far cry from convicting somebody

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: of a crime, and getting to that point is going

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: to take a lot of evidence. And this is a

47
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: situation that So let me put this to you this way,

48
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: after my conversations with many people this morning. Let's say,

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: for instance, god forbid, one of these individuals dies, one

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: of these recruits dies. Now if they arraigned him on

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: attempted peace officer charges, and once they arraigned him on

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: that charge, and then things happen after that, it could

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: be very complicated and difficult. I'm also told that they

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: didn't have all of the toxicology reports right are back yet.

55
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: That could also play in if they were going to

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: try to charge him with a crime like attempted murder

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: on a peace officer, they would have to prove intent.

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Now if he if he turns out to have been impaired,

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: Now he blew a zero point zero zero roadside, but

60
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he didn't have anything in this system.

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: There's already been the talk about the marijuana. The sheriff

62
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: said it on your show yesterday. I've also been told

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: it was possible he was taking nitrous oxide whippets. Oh wow.

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: That's another one that had come up in the conversation.

65
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Two different people close to the case have told me that.

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: So I can't confirm it. I'm just telling you that's

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: what's been told to me. So if he had other

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: substances in his system, that could be very difficult to

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: prove that he had an intent on killing someone because

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: he was impaired, you can't you can't add charges later

71
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: like I one of the cadets died, you could say,

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: now it's murder. Yeah, see, this is what I'm much happened.

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: This is what I'm checking. But apparently the way this

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: is coming out, the way it's being the way it's

75
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: being structured, is that it would be very difficult to

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: do that after the fact because of whatever particular case

77
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: or whatever particular nuances to this case is in effect,

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: it was explained to me that they didn't want to

79
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: take a chance and arraign him on this attempted murder

80
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: charge until they had other things in place. That was

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: just the way it was explained to me. How are

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: they gonna ensure he doesn't take off? Well, it's provisional.

83
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: I think he already knows he's going to be re arrested.

84
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: And the sheriff made it very clear. And then the

85
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: investigator I spook with it said that it was it

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: was a provisional release, which means he's coming back, right,

87
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: But John's right, it could be in Montenegro. By Now,

88
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: you really think that the Sheriff's information, our Sheriff's Enforcement

89
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: Bureau is not sitting on this guy. Well, I'm asking

90
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: they got a twenty four hour regard outside the house.

91
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm just going to tell you that. You know, it's

92
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: not like the movies, So I'm going to tell you that.

93
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you that there's probably a group of

94
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: people and plus the media. Right, you got every TV

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: camera sitting right on his house at the house, so

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta look in the back of

97
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: the house too, you know. Vien A Wavis said on

98
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: TV this we operate under Prosecutor George Gascone. We definitely

99
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: have great concerns about his ability to prosecute it. Well,

100
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: that's the first thing I thought of, because hey, the

101
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: guy just ran over police recruits. I mean, that's the gascon.

102
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: That's like running over bugs. Okay, now let's see here,

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: how can I do this. We have to have the

104
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: case that's ironclad, I unproved, submitted to the DA for

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: filing consideration, and so others said Steve, it's about very

106
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: complex case. It is very complex because you're dealing with

107
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: people that are not sworn police officers. Though there were

108
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: sworn officers in the mix, but I don't know that

109
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: any of them were injured. So you've got that in play,

110
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: You've got seventy five people saw that car coming at him.

111
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty it's a big crime if you run over

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: seventy five ordinary people, isn't it exactly? But remember the

113
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: first charge was attempted to murder on a peace officer.

114
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: So I think what they're I mean, it's obvious that

115
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: with the actual peace officers in play there, which would

116
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: have been the instructors and probably some deputies in the

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: car in the front and the back. But you know

118
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: that that also includes that. I just got to think

119
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: there's been plenty of cases where somebody has been attacked,

120
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: shot and they don't die right away. They linger for

121
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks in a coma and then they die.

122
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: Amend the charges. He amend the charges, right, So I

123
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: don't see why that would be a great difficulty if

124
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: the facts change. Now. The only thing I can think

125
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: of in this, and I don't have this for certain,

126
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: is that I think that they're they're using the same

127
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: model they did when the two deputies were shot in Compton.

128
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Remember how tight lipped. I couldn't get anything out of

129
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: anybody on that case that day, and that was because

130
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: they did not want to take any chances on screwing

131
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: that case up. So the upside is, remember that the

132
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: District Attorney's office they call it the CAPO Units. It

133
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: stands for Crimes against Peace Officers. That's a special team

134
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: of prosecutors that go along with the cops and other detectives.

135
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: And so they're a part of this, and it's parallel

136
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: the whole time, so they're aware of what's going on.

137
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: So even they were a part of this, presumably, and

138
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: they all realized they probably wanted to wait and do

139
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: the bigger charges all at one time and not getting

140
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: now because they're running out of time. They're running out

141
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: of time to charge him with something. Because the clock's

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: ticking and they got the weekend too, so they would

143
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: have run out of time. If they hadn't filed anything

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: by today, they would have run out of time. Now

145
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: the intentional act part, I'm hearing it again today, is

146
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: that some of the cadets, the recruits, said that after

147
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: he crashed into the light pole, he would not take

148
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: his foot off the accelerator, like he wanted to keep

149
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: running over anything and anybody he could. I you know,

150
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: that's got to be a part of the case. Well, again,

151
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: we don't know whether that was as a result of

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: trauma or shock doc yeah, or because he was impaired.

153
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: We don't know the reasons behind that. There's also been

154
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: all this talk and chatter about people hearing him accelerate,

155
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: hearing the vehicles accelerate. But I mean, that's all going

156
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: to be part of the investigation. It's all conjecture at

157
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: this point because we don't have the sheets in front

158
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: of us that show what the witnesses have said. I

159
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: will tell you this, you've been you're talking about gascone

160
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: oddly enough, and if you want, I'm happy to get

161
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: the audio and play it for you. Because chief more

162
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: from LAPD yesterday basically said that Gascone has been changing

163
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: all his ways and that what you think. What you

164
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: guys were just talking about with how Gascone will charge

165
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: this case and may look at this case is completely

166
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: opposite of what you're thinking. I just got an email

167
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: from Gascone today. You know what the title of the email,

168
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: I will do everything I can to make sure the

169
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: wrongly convicted are released from prison. So well, here's the thing.

170
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: I can send it right now. That sounds like gascon

171
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: to me, but I'll send it to you right now

172
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: because the question came up yesterday. I was covering this

173
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: thing with the rail yard crimes. The rail yards and

174
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: they recovered eighteen million stolen. A reporter says, well, Chief,

175
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: and they had Deputy DA standing along the line there. Well, Chief,

176
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: this is all fine and well, but you know what's

177
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: to say. These guys aren't gonna get slap on the

178
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: wrist and they're going to be out an hour two later.

179
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: And then the Chief launched into this whole thing about

180
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: how he personally has noticed a difference in the DA's office.

181
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: So you want to play that audio, yes, of course,

182
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: what Sherriffe and a Wavas says that I'll believe it.

183
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: Chief More. Hey, well he's the one kind of along

184
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: the same lines of the part he's been. He's been,

185
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: he's a weak Well, Garcetti has had his hands. Sorry, Steve,

186
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 1: how do I get you in trouble with hand up?

187
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: More's back? More took a knee, Yeah remember, okay, but

188
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: that still does a discount. You want to defund himself.

189
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm sending it to Eric. Why why why do we

190
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: take a break? Will play? All right? We're talking to

191
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: und dirty? Why defunding yourself? I hear by defund myself. Steve,

192
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: of course is here covering the story of a man

193
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: that crashed into the police recruits that they're out on

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: a run and the Wit area of Whittier. This is

195
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: Nicholas Goodierras. And the shock was that, after we learned

196
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: from Sheriff via Auava, it looks like a deliberate act.

197
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: He was released late yesterday and it's because it's a

198
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: complex case. They want to make sure they have everything

199
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: in order before they presented to the DA for actual charges.

200
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: Coming up next keyword Johnny ken kf I Am six

201
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. All Right with

202
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory here on the John and Ken Show, and

203
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: of course he's been covering the story out of Whittier

204
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: where the police recruits were run into by a guy

205
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: behind the wheel of an suv early the other morning.

206
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: Seventy five recruits running over twenty were hit. The update

207
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: is that there are still seven in the hospitals of

208
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: last night, two in critical condition, and it says here

209
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: the one they're really watching is Alejandro Martinez, who Sheriff

210
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: vi and Auavas said had surgery wednesday. He had major

211
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: trauma to his head and multiple fractures. The shock is

212
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: that the guy behind the wheel of this suv that

213
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: plowed into all of these police recruits, the man from

214
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Diamond Bar, Nicholas Joseph Goodeiras, has been released. And then

215
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: the sheriff said yesterday on a couple of interviews, including

216
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: our show, that they're thinking it's a deliberate act, but

217
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: because of the way this is going to work and

218
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: the way that they want to make sure that they

219
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: have a ironclad case against him. Uh. And that's also

220
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: the rule too, Steve. You can't hold somebody more more

221
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: than forty eight hours without like a charge, a real charge,

222
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: without something where is the guy staying? He said his home,

223
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: his parents home, and Diamond Bar. That's where he's saying

224
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: he guys lived with them. Um, shouldn't we have a

225
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: live stream camera on the home? I guess so I

226
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: want to watch it. I want to keep an eye

227
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: on it right here. That's pretty much all the TV

228
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: cruise there. We're pretty confident that between the TV cruise

229
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: and the still photographers in la Um, I think he's

230
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: no underground passage. Did we find out he has a

231
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: job or anything or did we find No, we don't

232
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: know anything about the guy. No nothing, no school work.

233
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: I did get a text from somebody whose daughter knows

234
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: him and says that they knew him in high school

235
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: and a good guy and that he is a heart condition.

236
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: Is a heart condition. So I texted back and I said,

237
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: what role did that play in this in this crash?

238
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: And I've not heard back, So yeah, And I want

239
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: to give you some breaking news. Also, Robert Luna has

240
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: had his first press conference since the election today and

241
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: he's announced his transition team. UM. Eric Para, who is

242
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: the chief of the Huntington Beach Police Department. I Leen Decker,

243
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: who is a commissioner on the Los Angeles Police Department

244
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: Board of Police Commissioners and Richard Konan, who is a

245
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: Long Beach Police deputy chief. So those are the three

246
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: people that will be steering Luna into his transition. Luna

247
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: sitting on the knee of Hilda. I was not there,

248
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: but um I will get a briefing on how things went.

249
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: So okay, all right, well you wanted to talk about,

250
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: yes and something that LAD Chief Michael Moore said, yeah,

251
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: So this came up yesterday to bring everyone up to

252
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: speed because John and Ken we're talking about that perhaps

253
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: guest gons policies might play into how this this prosecution

254
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: would go. And the something interesting came up from a

255
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday with Michael Moore, LPD Chief, when he

256
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: was asked about this rail yard theft ring that was

257
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: busted up, and you know, the reporter said, well, wait

258
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: a minute, you've you know what about these they get

259
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: out on no bail. You know, they're out early release

260
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: and all this other stuff. So here's the chief explaining

261
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: that that's really not the case anymore. The question I

262
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: believe earlier is that earlier directives from the Disattorney's office

263
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: that date well over a year ago spoke about agency

264
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: wide directives for their filing, deputies and practices within the

265
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: prosecution of individuals for felony crimes, including the provisions of

266
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: no bail or the use of note or not activating

267
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: readily available enhancements, and so forth. I am you know.

268
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm happy to report that over the last more than

269
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: a year, in regular conversations with Discorturney guests going between

270
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: him and I as well as our teams, that we're

271
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: seeing an evolution and changing of these directives. Today. We

272
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: are seeing regularly the filing of gun enhancements, additional enhancements

273
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: for individuals committing a felony, going being out on bail

274
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: or out on some type of release, and committing a

275
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: new felony which has added enhancements. We're seeing bail being

276
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: sought at both time at time of arraignment that previously

277
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: was not okay. John's choked up over the child. I'd

278
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: clearly gotten to him emotionally apparently, Well, is a bottle

279
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: of champaigne in front of you. I don't know what

280
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: that's about. Habit opened it yet. I'm sorry. I hear

281
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: this stuff about gascone and I want to up chuck,

282
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: I want to see proof of this. Well, how many

283
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: cases have been sure? I mean, and I don't know

284
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: any that I could just tell you that the chief.

285
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: We got on the Chief pretty good in the last

286
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: couple of years because of all the smashing, grabs and

287
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: all the other issues that were going on, and we

288
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: kept pushing the chief why should detectives go out there

289
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: and actually track these people down, spend the manpower to

290
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: go out there and do this when they're going to

291
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: be out within hours. And the Chief was getting hit

292
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: on that pretty hard by US press corps constantly about this,

293
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: especially when we saw how brazen all this stuff was

294
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: going on. So I think the Chief realizes that behind

295
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: the scenes, I know, behind the scenes he's had these

296
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: frank conversations with Gascone saying listen and you know, take

297
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: Garcetti out of the equation. But I think Moore has

298
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: had a very serious conversation with Gascone over all of this.

299
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: And but then going out of the room yesterday, a

300
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: couple of reporters chuckled, went, yeah, let's look at the

301
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: timing of all of this. You know, why is he

302
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: why is the evolution of his enhancements changing, Why are

303
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: his directives changing? Well, he got beat up pretty hard,

304
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: Gascon dead. Yeah, so I mean they were all kind

305
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: of chuckling saying, well, it's pretty obvious why things are changing.

306
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: But you know, recall twice and then you know, just

307
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: the smash and grabs the visual of that happening constantly,

308
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: and in a year the campaign for reelection will start. Well,

309
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: and see this has got to build some kind of

310
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: record this coming year. Well, and that wants to run again.

311
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: And that's why what Ken got in the mail and

312
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: I got email today, or both of us got in

313
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: the email. That's why you're seeing there's the campaign. It's

314
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: interesting because I have to register for all these campaigns

315
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: so that I I keep up to speed on what everyone's

316
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: up to. And I'm getting barraged by his campaign constantly

317
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: Gascon about all his achievements and accomplishments and whatnot. And

318
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: please donate, I was going to say, And they want money, oh, constantly,

319
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: and then the texting and how much did you give him?

320
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: I didn't give him anything. I gave him your VENMO number. Good, Yeah,

321
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: I gave him your VENMO. So that's the way I

322
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: do it. Well, the proof will be in the fact that,

323
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, because what we were hearing about those cargo

324
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: thefts is the complaint, and I think it was mostly

325
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: from Melle County Sheriff's deputies. We keep seeing the same guys.

326
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: They get caught, they get released, on their back out,

327
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: they're stealing more stuff and they're laughing at us. Well,

328
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see the reporters are finally gotten on

329
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: this bandwagon. Well they have been for a while. I

330
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: can tell you there's there's three or four of us

331
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: out there that do this on a regular basis. And

332
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: it's the veterans in the press. It's not the well,

333
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, like the woke people. Kids are all waiting

334
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: for their questions to be sent to them on their phone.

335
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, really, I'm not kidding you. I swear

336
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: to you what their moms and dad send the questions

337
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: in or what I e editors back at the station. Really, yeah,

338
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: they're sitting there, they wait and then they'll literally and

339
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: I know you can can't see it, but but for

340
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: John's purpose, they'll be like this, yes, Sheriff, I want

341
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: to know why you're you're looking at blah blah blah.

342
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: Why are you in hand blah blah blah are reading

343
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: and eating a phone because their editors are sending them,

344
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: especially if it's a live feed, and the editors are

345
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: back at the station listening to them them, and then

346
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: they'll type questions out to them. Boy, after your generation

347
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: dies out, the media is dead. I'm just like, I

348
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: literally look over at them when they're answering asking the question.

349
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: They make no line contact. I'm like, really, and then

350
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, I just I love the day. Then I

351
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: won't say what station when they sent their entertainment reporter

352
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: to a hardcore press murder conference and that reporter never

353
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: looked away from their phone because they had no idea

354
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: what they were doing. I mean, I swear it was hilarious.

355
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: They were labor shortages everywhere, was it? Sam never leaves

356
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: his chair? Are you kidding me? God, he never gets

357
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: out of his chair. All right, Steve, thank you very much.

358
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Skis more coming up, John and ken k. I am

359
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I gotta

360
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: click this link, right. I'm just scrolling during the commercial

361
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: break looking for breaking news, and I looked at the

362
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Drudge Report, you know, which is dozens of headlines right,

363
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: White House studies blocking the sun to stop climate change.

364
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: All right, I'll click the link. I'll go for it. Here,

365
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: let's see what I get. Some of his links are

366
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, it's just from the sun. All this

367
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: is from the Daily Beast, the Tilly Beast. The White

368
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: House admits we might set we might need to block

369
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: the sun to stop climate change? Is that right? This

370
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: is a long article? It says, it's a seven minute

371
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: read second minute. White House. Is there a name attached

372
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: to that? Or is let me building? Says, well, it's

373
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: a you know a lot of them. If it's an

374
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: anonymous source, that's another thing too. But okay, so you

375
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: get somebody on the record. He well, usually it's a

376
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: press release. On October thirteenth, the White House announced that

377
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: it was funding a five year research plan into one

378
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: of the most controversial proposals for fighting climate change, geo engineering,

379
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: or technologies and innovations that can be used to artificially

380
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: modify the earth climate. This is known as solar radiation management.

381
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: It involves spraying fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect

382
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: sunlight away from the Earth. The idea is once it's reflected,

383
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: they'll be less eat and temperatures will go down. Oh man,

384
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: all I can think of is snow piercer. Do you

385
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: know what that is? No? Oh, it was a movie

386
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: and a TV show about how they tried to screw

387
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: with global warming and the climate and they ended up

388
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: freezing the planet. So everybody stuck on this train going

389
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: around the globe trying to survive because everything else is

390
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: frozen over. Was that a good movie? It was a

391
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: good movie, and it's now a TV show on TNT.

392
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: It's a serious is that right? I'd like to see

393
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: that that appeals, And of course it's mostly about the

394
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: political linter workings inside the train. You've got the low

395
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: class people and the rich people. They fight for a power.

396
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: But that was the basic premise behind it, that death.

397
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: They wanted to make sure. We wanted to prevent climate change,

398
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: so they did something that instead did the opposite, and

399
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: it froze us over. You know, it's knowing government, You know,

400
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: makes sense, doesn't it. Can't you see that happening? I do.

401
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: As soon as I thought it makes sense. It's a

402
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: good premise. I could see that happening. Oh, so they're

403
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: gonna spray a mist into the air to reflect the

404
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: sunlight away. But this is our tax dollars. You know

405
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: that stupid freaking spending bill that passed earlier, the inflation

406
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: bill that excreted Aflation Reduction Act. Yeah, yeah, the thing

407
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: Biden passed through is in testing. It came out and

408
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: this is what they're spending the money off. Oh that's

409
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: what's it? Okay? I see you put up a big sunshade.

410
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: Is something're gonna do. No, in an aerosol spray, They'll

411
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: they'll have shign just walking around, you know, just spraying

412
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: like hair spray into the air. Well. Good that you

413
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: brought that up, because we come back to California and

414
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 1: we always have problems with electricity and water, don't we.

415
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: And water, of course it's been a big one of

416
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: the drought. We now have a story that today they

417
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: approved in another desalination plant, and the way it's written

418
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: in the Times, of course, it's this kind of oh dear,

419
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: over all the concerns for the underserved community that this

420
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: will affect. They gave conditional approval to a controversial Monterey

421
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: Bay desalination plant that even the commission's own staff said,

422
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: when unfairly burdened historically underserved community, what an expression that

423
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: is yes, underserved. What they Well, here's the bottom line.

424
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: Do you really want a power plant? Do you want

425
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: a refinery? Do you want a landfill in your neighborhood? No? No, no,

426
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: So if you have the wearwithall and financial means, you

427
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: don't move to a place that has those things. If

428
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: you do not have the weearwithall and financial means, you

429
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: might have to end up buying a home or renting

430
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: a home in an area that has those things. See

431
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: to their times and people on the California Coastal Commission.

432
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: This is this is abhorrent and must be corrected. Yeah.

433
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: The writer is Rosanna, Yeah, Xia, Yes, And it's about

434
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,959
Speaker 1: California American Water, which is as proposed building a three

435
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: hundred thirty million dollars desalination project. Now, listen to this.

436
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: It's on a former sand mining site in the town

437
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: of Marina, which is a small city with listen to this.

438
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: One third of the community is low income and many

439
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: speak little English. Now, the plant would convert as much

440
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: as six and a half million gallons of ocean water

441
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: to drinking water per day. It would be piped into

442
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: neighboring cities and businesses. Well, it is expensive to do this,

443
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: but the concerns are it's usually the environmentalists just because

444
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: the sludge that comes out when they separate the salt out,

445
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: that's apparently what can impact the local waters. I guess

446
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: are we only are we can't build any infrastructure in

447
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: any place that has underserved people. Exactly find the city

448
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: that doesn't have underserved people. I guess Beverley Hills, right,

449
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills should have all the nuclear plants, all the

450
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: desalination plants. Yes, all fair, they should be spread around

451
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: like it's her name said yesterday, Karen Bass, that everybody's

452
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to home house the homeless, including higher income communities.

453
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to have refineries, John right, and power

454
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: plants and landfills, and all goes to Beverly Hills because

455
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: every well it's yeah, they've been over sir, that's a

456
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: line from a bar over. Everyone is overserved. I love

457
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: the word is so wacky. I mean, that's nuts. Well,

458
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: this is every they're gonna get to use the water too, Yeah,

459
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: the poor people. And I like this. Many speak Little

460
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: English that's code for illegal immigrants. But they can't now

461
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: now they've well they already have here, it says, a

462
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: regional landfill in a sewage plant in Marina. Oh and

463
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: of course the sand mine that has dredged away the

464
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: coast for more than a century. But you can't build

465
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: a see desalination plant again near people who speak other languages. Well,

466
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 1: they're just it's more about lowering down. No, that's one

467
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: of the greatest euphemisms I've seen, because they've gotten that

468
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: they are no longer illegal immigrants, are undocumented or not

469
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: in possession of proper documents. You know, all those windy

470
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: twelve word explanations euphemisms for illegal aliens. Now it's many

471
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: who speak little English. Well, don't you love the handwringing

472
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: because these progressive, woke left environmental people that they probably

473
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: consider themselves in the California Coastal Commission now saying well,

474
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: it's great to be able to do what we do

475
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: to quote preserve the environment. But man, the state is

476
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: really running out of water. And you know, we finally

477
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: looked over to that corner, that dirty dark corner where

478
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: the word the salination is and we're just going to

479
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: have to do this. We're running out of everything that

480
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: keeps us alive. I don't know what kind of insane

481
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: cult this is? They don't They would like us to die. Eventually,

482
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: they're going to be into human sacrifice, and they're gonna

483
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: start with little babies. People are gonna have their babies

484
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: snatched away, and this environmentalist crowd is going to say no, no,

485
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: this little baby here. Eventually they're going to grow up

486
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: and they're gonna start consuming water and power and food,

487
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: and we can't have this. They're gonna be using electrical appliances,

488
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna be driving cars. So we're going to kill

489
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: them now to save the planet. It's this close, I'm

490
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: telling you. Yeah. The average household income in Marina is

491
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: thirty five thousand dollars. So that's why they're considered low

492
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: income underserved. Oh they're gonna sell some of the water

493
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: to the nearby Castroville. Oh that's who has the thirty

494
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars average out Castroville, a small committee of

495
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: farm workers. Well you have to earn money in order

496
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: to get served. Yes, you're right, I mean that's ah.

497
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: The desalinated water would cost at least seventy nine hundred

498
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: dollars per acre foot. The thing is, if it's already

499
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: got the landfill and the sewage plant and the sand mine.

500
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: Then why not throwing a desalination plant. Then you just

501
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: screw up one city instead of four. I'm in the place,

502
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: the place. It's gone to hell any anyway, so you

503
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: must spread the devastation. All right, we got more coming up,

504
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: Johnny ken KF I am six forty live everywhere in

505
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Well she wins. Tracy Park will be

506
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: the new council member from John's council district. Yes, replacing

507
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: Mike Bonnon. She defeated Mike Bonnon's endorsed candidate, Aaron Darling,

508
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: even evil spawn right, and I you know what, Minion

509
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: Eric Sclar, our technical director, gave me a present. He

510
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: remembered that I once said, when Bonnon was finally done,

511
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some champagne on the air. And well

512
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: it's not yet, not until December fifth, I think, I know.

513
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: But today's the official day that Tracy Park is. But

514
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: he's still in office. He can still rereak havoc, no

515
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm going to celebrate today, all right,

516
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: and champagne, A small bottle of champagne. Nice, Well, Ray

517
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: doesn't drink, and I'm not allowed to drink while I'm

518
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: running the board, so I didn't want to get a

519
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: full bottle. Well, you can't drink and drive here. What

520
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: is that a plane in there? It is imagine the

521
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: disaster like if you got drunk, we'd noticed the difference.

522
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: I'm just following the rules here. Yeah, so this is

523
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: this is a nice little little mini bottle of champagne.

524
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna open it up next hour. I'm gonna open

525
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: it up when she comes on, yes and celebrate and

526
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: toast Tracy Park in true fashion. The Elsa gunto Times

527
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: doesn't care about that. She is now the sixth women

528
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: woman on the council. Okay, so there's a lot of

529
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: women now in the Oba City Council. When when you

530
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: get to six, is it is that something to put

531
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: in the headline? It's a record a record number of which. Yeah,

532
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: it's a record number of women in the city council. Six. Well,

533
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: let's so far I see that all this diversity. They

534
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: don't they're not any uh, they're not performing any better

535
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: than any monolithic group. But that way, speaking of the council,

536
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: guess I guess who I heard interviewed Mark Ridley Thomas

537
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: he's coming back, he says the disgraced. Well, he considers

538
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: himself still a member of the Los Angeles City Council.

539
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: I was elected and I am still the councilman. The

540
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: way it talks, this guy had heard it in a

541
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: while just cracks me up. It's all slow and like

542
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: he's Garl Jones talking. Yeah, he's this deep, rumbly ponderous

543
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: voice that he has. Well, I mean the dean at USC,

544
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: I know she made a deal. She yeah, she's already pleaded.

545
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: She copped it. I don't know what chance he has.

546
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: So she's pleading guilty to take in the bribe. How's

547
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: how's he gonna get out of being convicted. They're gonna

548
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: say they didn't they didn't think of it as a bribe.

549
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: Well she did, I know, do you have it on tape?

550
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: But she said, here, here's your bride, Councilman Ridley Thomas.

551
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: Ever been a case where the person getting the bribe

552
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: pleads guilty but the person giving the bride somehow got

553
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: out of it. You haven't reversed. She's the one that

554
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: gave the bribe and she pled guilty, but the person

555
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: giving the bribe got out of it. That a person

556
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: getting the bribe. That's what I said. You know, where

557
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: one party says I'm guilty, the other party gets out.

558
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I couldn't tell you I do. I

559
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: don't think that happens. How could it happen? Well, we

560
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: were just talking about the underserved communities. They're gonna know

561
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: they're o king of desalination plant in an area up

562
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area underserved, which is considered low income underserved.

563
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: The LA County Board of Supervisors just created themselves a

564
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: brand new little office, the La County Office of Environmental

565
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: Justice and Climate Health. This is no joke. It will

566
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: be part of the Department of Health, Barbara Ferreira's Department

567
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: of Health. It'll be carved out of the County's Department

568
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: of Public Health. And they're going to get an interim

569
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: director within thirty days. And this person is going to

570
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: address environmental pollution which disproportionally affects low income communities and

571
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: people of color or what it's all there is? Now,

572
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: what are they going to do? I guess the reckoning

573
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: is that, you know, our long time capitalist system has

574
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: led people to believe there's so much too correct out there.

575
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: You don't you know what it is that none of

576
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: this you can change, None of this you're going to change.

577
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: So what they've done is they've created these boards and

578
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: commissions and agencies so that all their woke friends can

579
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: make six figure salaries and hold meetings all day and

580
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: talk about it. This is a big scam. They claims

581
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: they're going to go after these this industry that here's

582
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: the communities they're targeting. Avocado Heights sounds nice, Hacienda Heights,

583
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: the Pointing and Bassett. They're located near this big battery

584
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: recycling plant and the lovely city of Industry. Well it's

585
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: the recycling batteries, isn't it a good thing? And the

586
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: plant has paid six hundred thousand dollars in penalties for

587
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: their pollution violations in twenty twenty. But what happens to

588
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: that money? You see, this is just like a homeless

589
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: industrial contract. All they're gonna do is find these companies

590
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: and then they just didn't take the money in line

591
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: their pockets. It's about punishing capitalists, punishing businesses. Yes, that's

592
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: all it is. It's all. It's all scam. I mean,

593
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: they do this in communist countries. They want to confiscate money,

594
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: confiscate property, have intensive regulations to give them a pretext

595
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: to eluding the place. And that's what they're going to

596
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: do with this agency. It's just going to be another

597
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: way to loot businesses. Environmental justice now the other thing

598
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: they're doing with the climate change. We talked about this before,

599
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: but this story as a picture. They're coding the streets.

600
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: You don't remember this, John, They have to put streets

601
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: to cool off the streets. Is called the cooling coding.

602
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: They put it down in North Hollywood about a year ago.

603
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna put it in more neighborhoods. Allegedly, you put

604
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: this down on the sidewalk of the pavement rather of

605
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: the road, and it results in cooling down of the temperature.

606
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: They say they've done this in Pico Union, Westlake, South,

607
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: North Hollywood, Canoga Park, silmar Vermont Square, South Central, and

608
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: Boil Heights. Well yeah, well it does right there at

609
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: the spot. Because you know, on asphalt, black asphalt in

610
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: the sunlight absorbs a lot of heat and the asphalt

611
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: itself could be like one hundred thirty degrees. So obviously

612
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: the how much you think is cools it down, then

613
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a white coating. It looks like

614
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: white reflects sunlight back into the atmosphere. Black cool it

615
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: down like fifty degrees. It cool it down, like it'll

616
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: cool it I would, I would assume it would cool

617
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: it to the overall air temperature. Oh no, all right,

618
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: so it's one hundred degrees in Yeah, it'll kis stay

619
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: at a hundred degrees, but it won't be one hundred

620
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: when you walk on the on the asphalt, and allegedly

621
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: because the asphalt is hot, it leak makes the neighborhoods hot.

622
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: Because the other thing they talked about in this story

623
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: is that they're given up on the cooling centers. No

624
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: one showed up in them. Yeah, we did that story

625
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: a few months ago. Nobody's showing up at them. So

626
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: they want to get to so people are cool in

627
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: their own homes. Oh so we're not going to hear

628
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: newspeople read the addresses of cooling centers anymore. Probably not.

629
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: They went bust. Well, I saw I saw an article

630
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: I think it was in the Times where they actually

631
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: went to the cooling centers and it was lonely, like

632
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: two people. Yeah, that's right, and it was really boring.

633
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: Because they were just sitting on chairs and staring. Yeah,

634
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't unemployed and retired people just kind

635
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: of sitting there and taking a nap or reading something.

636
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: There is no level of heat that would get me

637
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: to go and sit in a chair in an empty

638
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: room and stare. It's like, I'll tough it out. I'll

639
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: figure I'll find a park and sit under a tree.

640
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, well, go ahead, paint the streets.

641
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: They haven't just I think the point here is they're

642
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: just anny more bureaucracy to the county government. That's just nis.

643
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: Let's tire a whole bunch of people chasing after environmental justice. Yeah,

644
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: I think they're not doing it for like science reasons.

645
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: It's just to fund an entire bureaucracy and claim it's

646
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: environmental justice. And then you know, they'll do a little

647
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: bit of work painting a few streets too, because you

648
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: need a cover story, right, you need and they'll find

649
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: a few more companies in pocket the money and onward

650
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
