1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: You're a resident and the registered voter in the city 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. You got a mayor to vote for. 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: How about that? That's right? And as you know, the 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: race it seems to be between Rick Caruso, the real 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: estate developer, and Karen Bass, the congresswoman. One candidate who 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: dropped out recently is Joe Buscayano, the LA City councilman, 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: and he was the only one out of the fifteen 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: councilman to be fighting the homeless problem and coming up 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: with actual common sense solutions for it. So he's now 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: endorsed Rick Caruso for mayor. And so let's get Joe on. Joe, 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: how are you good? Afternoon, guys. Thanks for having me on. 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: It's been a while. Yeah. Well, listen, I think a 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: lot of people want to know. You know, you were 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: you campaign very hard and valiantly for over a year, 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: and you know you took a fair amount of shots 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: at Caruso when you were on stage during the debates, 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: and I guess people wonder, Okay, what's the process you 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: go through where you decide, you know, I'm going to 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: endorse Caruso rather than run against him. Well, as you mentioned, 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: I fought hard for this. This is an opportunity to 21 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: change direction to the city of Los Angeles. And if 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: you recall, you covered this when we launched a campaign 23 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: on the Venice Beach board walk, I was attacked by 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: the knife wielding woman from Washington State and from there 25 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: it was it was the campaign that was centered around 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: homelessness in crime, making City Valley a safer place with 27 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: ending street camping once and for all. Here we are 28 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: today where Rick, who is like minded, who I've watched 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: on TV, like many of you, share my message. It 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: was like he was saying the same things that I 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: was saying. Is this wasn't my image on the TV, 32 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't my name on the TV. But at the 33 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: end of the day, as I said last Thursday when 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Rick and I met, this is greater than me. And 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: after being on the city council or oftentimes have you 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: all reported where you know the council has not agreed 37 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: with my balanced policies, it refreshing to know that Rick 38 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: Caruso and I are like minded and I have a 39 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: confidence that la will will change if he's elected mayor. 40 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: When you talk about like the campaign though, you know 41 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: and like the attacks, it was an attack It was 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: more like, how do you differentiate myself with the other candidate? 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: And clearly Rick was in my lane. My dear friend 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: net Colletti, one of Dodger's greatest general managers, taught me 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: that competition and awareness makes us all better. And it's 46 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: at the very least, Guys, my hope is that my 47 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: candidacy and what I believe will produce results in Rick's 48 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: candidacy and my candasy or we're splitting images. And this 49 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: is why I decided to join with Rick and win 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: this for the sake of the city, all right, since 51 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: you have the unique position of not only running for 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: mayor but also been a city councilman, and the only 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: city councilman you're trying to do something about the homelessness 54 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: crisis and a former police officer and a former police officer, 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: what is going? What is carusoe? Because I know you 56 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: thought of this for yourself too. When you actually become mayor, 57 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: what can you do about something like homelessness practically, when 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: you have nearly the entire city council working against you. Well, 59 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: this is a unique position of being mayor, and Rick 60 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: has seen that in the ability the knowledge that I 61 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: have and the experience on addressing homelessness in my district. 62 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: And he told me that, you know, Joe, I need you. 63 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: I need your skill set, your your ability or experience 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: to nistry campaign like I've done in my district. And 65 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: as mayor, you know you have the executive powers. We 66 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: have not seen the use of executive powers in the 67 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: city of la and Rick has that executive experience of 68 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: using those executive powers. Say for you know something that 69 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: he's been saying all along is day one calling for 70 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: a state of emergency, activating the Emergency Response Center and 71 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: leading with urgency. You know something I've learned from Rick, 72 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: And by the way I've known him, I've grown to 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: love him over the course of these last ten years. 74 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: Rick and Tina Jay and we just we're dear friends. 75 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: Not the fact that he's a time, but I'm a time. 76 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: That it's being able to lead with urgency and be 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: relentless and relentless follow through. And he has recognized, like me, 78 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: that two thousand souls last year died of drug overdoses 79 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: in our streets. He has recognized, like me, that people 80 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: are fleeing this city, and he, like me, want to 81 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: fix the most pressing problems. We need a leader like 82 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: Rick Caruso who will get it done and surround himself. 83 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: And so because he will put his ego aside, he 84 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: will surround himself with the best and brightness to lead 85 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: this city and change directions if God knows we need it. 86 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: But there enough power invested in the mayor in Los Angeles, 87 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: with the bureaucracies that he controls the police department, to 88 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: get around all the people who voted against you all 89 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: the time on the city Council. You know, there's thirteen 90 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: fourteen of them that routinely said no to everything. He's 91 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: going to have to work around these people the way 92 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: because the way you understand how the powers separate between 93 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: the mayor and the city council is there are enough 94 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: there that he could he could start moving mountains. Well, 95 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: when Rick Rousseau wins us, this is going to be 96 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: a mandate, a mandate that's going to be sent to 97 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: the council chambers that the people of Los Angeles are 98 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: fed up and you better listen to his guidance and 99 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: his leadership, because when you see the folks in Los Angeles, 100 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: including my own family friends, who are afraid to walk 101 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: to the park when you see these large, dangerous encampments 102 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: sprawling from corner to corner, the message will be sent 103 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: to the legislative body in City Hall, in City Council 104 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: that the people of Los Angeles has spoken and barring 105 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: a charter change, that will change that. You know, you 106 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: need to change the charter to make this a strong 107 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: mayor system. I know you guys have recognized that, and 108 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: as you need those relationships with the City Council, and 109 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: he is termed to me to help in that and 110 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: that effort. What do you what do you think Karen 111 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: Bass's appeal is because at the moment, I haven't seen 112 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: a poll in a while, but it's neck and neck 113 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: and she's clearly from the Mike Bonden George Gascone political corner. Yeah, 114 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: considering what's going on, we don't need more Gascon and 115 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: bond in here. So what what? What? What's the battle 116 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 1: against her? When you're trying to appeal to uncommitted voters? 117 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: How do you different? I've known you for years now, 118 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: It shocked that you believe in anything. Nearly times does 119 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: uh Rick is doing very well? Uh? I think yeah, absolutely. 120 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: I mean the Bailly time showed me at one percent, 121 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: which is completely awful. Okay, it's a bas pole. You 122 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: look at the methodology. He was a mass email sent 123 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: it was a field goal feel good poll. It's the 124 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: Rick is doing very well. I've I've seen the numbers. 125 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: He's killing it in all demographics. Um um. And he's 126 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: not that great appeal. Yes, even as it's an outsider, guys, 127 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: I felt like I've been an outsider for ten years. 128 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: You've you've I've been on your show covering you know, 129 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: when when I want a band street camping next to 130 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: schools and that gets sent to committee for further studies. Um. 131 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: So with it's like so with with Karen's race, and 132 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: I've that front row seat and you know, obviously debating 133 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: her and standing on stage with her. So she's a 134 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: great public servant. The question is who is the best 135 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: to address and solve our most pressing, immediate problems in 136 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: the city today? And today I stand with Rick Trusso. Um. 137 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: You know the question that I was shocked when I 138 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: was standing on that stage. Um we were at USC 139 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: and the question by Lex Michaelson from Fox eleven. You know, 140 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: out of ten ten being the most safest to Karen Bass, 141 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: how do you, how do you feel do you feel 142 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: safe in Los Angeles? He said ten out of ten? 143 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: I feel I've heard that. Yeah, that's shocking. That was 144 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: just crazy. Now again, I respect Karen. I feel that 145 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: she feels safe because you've been in DC for the 146 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: last ten years. Okay, and this is this, let's be 147 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: honest with ourselves, guys. We need a leader who has 148 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: never left Los Angeles like myself. We have great immigrant stories. 149 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: We have the same background of wanting to improve the city. Yes, 150 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: Rick has been successful, God bless him, and they're targeting 151 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: him because of his success. But he does not have 152 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: to do this. Okay, he has been successful businessman. Him 153 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: and his family can clearly enjoy their life in retirement. 154 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: But this is so important for Rick, it's important for me, 155 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: it's important for our family. It's important for the city 156 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: to change direction. And this is why we've joined forces. 157 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: All right, Joe, thanks for coming on again. We appreciate it, 158 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: all right, Joe, thanks a lot. Thanks for having me, guys, 159 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: and it's a La City Councilman Joe Buscayano, who dropped 160 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: out of the mayor's race and is now officially supporting 161 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: Rick Caruso for Mayor and Rick Crusos our pick on 162 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: the John and Ken. You're still catching up with his 163 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: planners to get him back on the air. Yeah, sometimes 164 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: very soon, very soon. Even the El Segundo Times admits 165 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's nomination to ambassador to 166 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: India is dangling by a thread. A thread in the 167 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: United States. This is their reporter, Jennifer Happercorn. Anybody have 168 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: a Paris scissors. Several Democrats are continuing to express hesitation 169 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: over moving forward with the nomination. Hesitation. Boy, they're such 170 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: they're such knob slubbers at the time. So technically speaking, 171 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: if they got all fifty Democrats in Kamala Harris, it 172 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: would pass right, it would. If there's if there's one defection, 173 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: he's he's he loses his toast. Yeah, because I think now, 174 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of Republicans on that committee voted 175 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 1: for him, but I think now they smell blood in 176 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: the water, and this is a way, this is where 177 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: you get Biden the finger, Yeah, finger right in the eye. 178 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: So I think they'll do it just out of sport. 179 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: And plus it's it's a creepy story. It's just gross. 180 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: You don't want to have to answer question do you 181 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: vote it for him? Oh? You know, that's the kind 182 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: of story. You hear about it from your wife and 183 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: your daughter. It's like, well, what are you doing, daddy? Well, 184 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: apparently Chuck Schumer, the old New York centertor and the 185 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: majority leader in the Senate, did a temperature check back 186 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,239 Speaker 1: on May sixth and found a number of Democrats still 187 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: with concerns and hesitation. That's why the nomination it really 188 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: becomes a matter of how long do you want to wait? 189 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: Jill Biden? Do you want to wait until they all 190 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: come around and you can get the fifty votes plus 191 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. That's the only way this is going to advance, 192 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: because I don't think there's a Republican that's voting for now. No, 193 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: And and the me too crowd among the Democrats who 194 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: made a big stink of sexual harassment cases publicly, what 195 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: they're suddenly gonna excuse this mess? I mean, somebody, there's 196 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: a New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, remember she ran for 197 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: president for about five minutes. Well, she led the charge 198 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: to run what's his name, Al Franken out of office. 199 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: Remember that, Yes, yes, he did resign. She's very public 200 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: about sexual harassment. She's big on me too. Yeah, big 201 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: on me too. So and she right now she's saying, well, 202 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know, I'm still studying the issue, 203 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: or some such nonsense euphemism. You know, she's not committing, 204 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: which is a signal like I can't go for this, 205 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: not after my reputation is fighting me too sexual harassment cases. 206 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: Now you want me to endorse Garsetti? What are you 207 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: doing here? They want they want Biden to withdraw this, 208 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: that's what they want, or Garcetti to give up. They 209 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: don't want to vote on this. They don't want to 210 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: either way. They don't want to probably what's happening right. 211 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: Another one is Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. He's still 212 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: doing the due diligence on this. Senator Mazie Herono of 213 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: Hawaii hasn't made up heart mind. She's another one. She's 214 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: a big feminist women's right, anti me too, you know, 215 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: anti Brett Cavina, and it would look hypocritical to vote 216 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: for a guy that covered up all the me too stuff. 217 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly's in a fifty fifty race in Arizona running 218 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: for reelection. He just you don't want to You don't 219 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: want to be associated with the stuff. You don't want 220 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: to go against your president when he's a member of 221 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: the same party, and that's part of the protocol. But 222 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like, oh man, this is 223 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: all sticky and smelly. I can get this out of 224 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: here now. The doozy is Senator Richard blooman Fall of Connecticut, 225 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: who met with Garcetti and changed his mind. I asked 226 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: him some pretty tough questions. He gave some convincing answers. 227 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: I also reviewed the entire file, all the evidence. I 228 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: think the evidence is insufficient to bar him from this 229 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: very important post that he's qualified to do. So there's 230 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: a fan, well, there's there's always somebody that gullible, you know. 231 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: Or maybe he has a close personal relationship with Garcetti. 232 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: Who knows. So Now, the other Connecticut Senator is Chris Murphy. 233 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: He's trying to, I guess arranged meetings with lawmakers. I 234 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: don't know if it's Garsetti meeting him, but he can't 235 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: get anybody to well, you know, the last few weeks 236 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: have been difficult to get meetings and calls scheduled. It 237 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: they're saying, beat it. He's getting a dial to like 238 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: nobody's nobody's call. We're talking about who's car saiding No, 239 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: See that's the sign. Okay, there there's only there's only 240 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: fifty senators, right, fifty Democrats? Right. You know he knows 241 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: and he sees them all every day. Hey, you got 242 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: an hour for Garcetti? Maybe on Thursday? Hello, Hello, Because 243 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the attitude 244 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Schumer's taking. There's got to be somebody else for the post. 245 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: Either it's not that important, or if it is important, 246 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: there's got to be other people. You can pick Joe Biden, 247 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: just give us somebody else. There were ninety vacancies among 248 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: me I deal with this headache, and this is the 249 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: only one that you see in the news. There's eighty 250 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: nine other people that have been nominated or eighty nine 251 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: vacancies that need a nomination. And all you hear the ambassadors, 252 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: the ambassadors. Yeah, we're missing a lot of ambassadors. I mean, well, 253 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: Trump didn't fill a lot of positions because he thinks 254 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: every government position is a lot of hooey exactly, So 255 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: he left. That's why he had all acting directors and 256 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: acting secretaries, right, you know, and then which I think 257 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: can only last about a year, and then you have 258 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: to get approved by the Senate, And so he would 259 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: just let those guys go and put in another acting 260 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: secretary or acting director. Yeah, exactly. So it's hard to 261 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: make a prediction here. But the way this is just 262 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: floating around, and I guess the point you just made it. 263 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: Nobody's in a hurry with the other nominations either, So Garceta, 264 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: he's not done yet, but there could come a day 265 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: with the Biden people just say let's put another name in. 266 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: All right, Let's let's try somebody else. Yeah, you would 267 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: think India, first of all, has nuclear weapons. Secondly, is 268 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: one of Russia's allies. Right now. Russia is selling him 269 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: a lot of cut rate oil and so India is 270 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: not getting in the way of that Ukrainian invasion. So yeah, 271 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: there we probably should have some influence on India to 272 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: make I mean, they're you know, a billion, what are 273 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: they a billion? Two in population there too? Yeah, I mean, 274 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: and they got nukes and they're cosying up with Russia. 275 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, maybe we should have somebody over there, 276 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: all right, when we come back. We got to talk 277 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: about as the news dropped on Friday. But it's unbelievable. 278 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: The California States surplus is nearly one hundred billion dollars. 279 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: I got news for you, and I'm watching this. It 280 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: ain't gonna last and I ain't gonna see anything like 281 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: this this year. More coming up. You've seen the New 282 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: York Post story about that. I'm reading it right now. 283 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: I was just going to bring it up. We finally 284 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: have some relatives of the Buffalo, New York supermarket shooter 285 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: who are willing to speak in The New York Post 286 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: has spoken exclusively to a couple in New York. One 287 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: of them is a cousin of the mother of the shooter. 288 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: The shooter is eighteen year old Peyton Genren and his 289 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: mother as Pamela. Her cousin, Sandra Komaroff, age sixty eight, 290 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: spoke to The Post said I have no idea how 291 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: he could have gotten caught up in all this. I 292 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: blame it on COVID. There you go. He was very 293 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: paranoid about getting COVID, extremely paranoid to the point that 294 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: his friends were saying he would wear the hazmat suit 295 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: to school. He didn't do that. He wore the complete 296 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: hazmat suitor from and then he got COVID. Just a 297 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: few weeks ago, he went to family functions with a 298 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: respirator mask on. He totally wasn't going to get COVID, 299 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: but then he got COVID. I like this quote. They 300 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: were vaxed to the max about the family. I don't 301 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: know if this was a bad case. I just know 302 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: he caught it. Well, she thinks that all the isolation 303 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: led him to become paranoid and started looking at things 304 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: online that pushed him into his paranoid phase, and this 305 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: could have sent him over the edge. Then her husband, 306 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: Dave says COVID could have affected what they called the 307 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: lizard brain. Yeah, that one was a good one, the 308 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: part of the brain that controls aggression. I can't say 309 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: it's impossible, but maybe that would happen one out of 310 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: so many millions of times. So it's not only the 311 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: fear of COVID that drove him into isolation, it was 312 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: actual COVID attacking his lizard brain. Well, hey, the woman says, 313 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: this is the only way to say it. And then 314 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: your home all day on the internet, you're missing out 315 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: on human contact. There's a lot of emotions, a lot 316 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: of body language you're not getting when you see their face. Yeah, 317 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: but what about his parents. He was probably in the 318 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 1: house there with them, right, unless he separated himself from 319 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: everybody because he was powered on about COVID that nobody 320 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: saw what he was up to. A teenage teenage guy 321 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: walled off in his room. It's classic. He did admit 322 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: in his manifesto that he has got extremely bored during 323 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: the early days of the pandemic. Yeah. Yeah, let's see 324 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: the Komaroffs deny any knowing anything about his racist leanings. 325 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: Dave said, Dave's the husband. I don't know where he 326 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: went online, the dark Web or whatever, but he got 327 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: into some really nasty stuff. He's smart enough to get 328 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: into dangerous stuff online, which maybe the average person wouldn't 329 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: know how to get into. I'm trying to figure out myself. 330 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: And then he he said, did the parents do anything 331 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: the parents are well to do? Did they put him 332 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: in some kind of therapy? When they get the civil lawsuit, 333 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna come out. Someone's gonna ask where did 334 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: you do last year? After this incident, They're gonna ask 335 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: the parents, what did you do. How did you help 336 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: this kid? They're college educated, they're intelligent, they're engineers. They're 337 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: not hill people. They're not hill people. Wow, well, we 338 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: know the northern tier. In southern tier of New York, 339 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: there's some hill people, some hill people. There's some hill 340 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: people with college degrees too. There. I guess. Yeah, there 341 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: should have been lightbulbs going off, said Sandra. The kid 342 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: should have been in some kind of empathy training. Oh yeah, 343 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: empathy training, that'll stop it. Teaches that these are human beings. 344 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: Huh yeah, because because he put on some form that 345 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: his career goal was murder suicide. So the school is 346 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: really spooked by this. They send him to the cops. 347 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: The cops interview them. They're really spooked, so they send 348 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 1: him to a psychiatric clinic. But the psychiatric people aren't spooked, 349 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: and they send him back home, saying everything's fine. This 350 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: couple's chatty. Sandra said, it's a good family. You have 351 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: very good family. It's unconsortable to me what happened. They're 352 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: very average people. God fearing. I don't understand the racist thing, 353 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: because my family's the furthest thing from racist. I've never 354 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: heard of racist comment from him from his parents. It's 355 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: almost like he just snaps something in him, broke the whole. 356 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: Famili's in shock, and the husband, Dave, said, you probably 357 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: have a checkbox of what you would consider it normal. 358 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: I would think that this family checks all those boxes. 359 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out the dysfunction. I just can't. 360 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: We write his graduation. He's an eighteen year old kid. 361 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: I say, congratulations, thank you. What do you intend to do? 362 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: He said, be an engineer like my mom and dad? 363 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: What about that note he wrote about murdering suicide? Say 364 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: he didn't give the murder suicide answers only a year ago. 365 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: I don't see how this happened, but apparently this has 366 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: been germinating for a long time. Yeah, everybody deals and understandably, 367 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: you only deal with the superficial. You only deal with 368 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: the chit chat conversations that you have. They didn't know 369 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: the hours and hours and I mean, how long did 370 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: it take him to write one hundred eighty page manifesto 371 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: in his room on his computer? Right? See, nobody was 372 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: there to see that side of Peyton exactly. So they're 373 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: all reacting to the kid at the graduation ceremony who 374 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: says thank you I'm going to be an engineer, but 375 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: first I'm going to shoot up the supermarket. Oh man, Yeah, 376 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the story. The Daily Beast had 377 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: a story that he was in some online chat rooms 378 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: something called Discord. Have you heard of that? Yeah, I 379 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: think it's a message app. Yeah, that's where he was 380 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: in the last few months, really talking specifically about his plan. 381 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: But I don't know who sees that other other lunatics. 382 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: Discord is a place They're not going to turn him in. No, no, no. 383 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: In fact, I read one of the early stories about 384 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: this were how these message apps or these bulletin board 385 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: sites they egg each other on and yeah, they're looking 386 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: for chaos and mayhem. Two of the shooters he was 387 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: inspired by that he mentioned the manifesto was Dylan Ruth, 388 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: who shot up a black church I think in one 389 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: of the Carolinas just had the Australian shooter right right 390 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: in Christchurch, New Zealand, I think New Zealand, New Zealand, 391 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: all right, and so and he went to a mosque, 392 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: was it? I think so? Yeah? And so the reporter 393 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: was looking at a lot of the posts from maybe 394 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: this guy and other guys like him, and there's a 395 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: lot of these guys. Okay, there's hundreds, there's thousands. They're 396 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: all in line, and they admire those who pulled off 397 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: these mass shootings the way we used to admire ball 398 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: players when we were kids and collect baseball cards, right right, 399 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: Except you know, they go online now and they download 400 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: all the statistics, not batting averages and RBIs and home runs, 401 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 1: but statistics of how many wounded, how many dead, how 402 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: many bullets, Not what kind of bat they use, but 403 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: what kind of they are fifteen model did they use. 404 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: It's almost the same thing as having sports heroes, except 405 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: these people slaughter human beings. It's really really weird. Yeah, 406 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: some of this stuff. The Daily Beasts looked at his 407 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: file in Discord, and he shared racist posts about black people, 408 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: accompanied by a photo what he described as as college 409 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: cafeteria he and the days before the attack, he used 410 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: Discord to share pictures of himself inside and outside of 411 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: blue Ford Taurusts. Among those pictures are a selfie and 412 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: multiple pictures of rifles decorated with racist slurs and references 413 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: to previous mass killers see oh Yeah. The live stream, 414 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: which got cut after a couple minutes, shows him driving 415 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: the forward with an interior that appears to match out 416 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: of the tourists. Yeah, this is this is modern day 417 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: internet fueled mass slaughter, you know, only in twenty twenty two, 418 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: and he even televised it online to some of his 419 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: fellow Oh yeah. At early December, he announced plans to 420 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: commit a mass shooting in March and tribute to the 421 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: white supremacist massacret mosques in christ Church, New Zealand. So 422 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: he was off by a couple of months and he 423 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: didn't go to a church. Instead, he went to a 424 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: grocery store. Yeah. I've been planning the attack for what 425 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: seems like years now. Every day that goes by, it 426 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: feels like a joke and more real. Right, But the 427 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: psychiatric center said, he's fine. Oh how could you miss 428 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: that badly? Oh right, I'm gonna read this when we 429 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: come back. He posted about the mental wellness check from 430 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: a year ago. Yeah, oh he did. Yeah, all right, 431 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: we'll read that next. Okay, good stuff here, all right? 432 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: Coming up after four o'clock will be joined by cafi's 433 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: Corbyn Carson to update us on the shooting at the 434 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: church in Laguna Woods by the Chinese man who was 435 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: angry with the Taiwanese people that would come up after 436 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: four o'clock guts when we learned this afternoon in a 437 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: news conference. We've been talking about the Buffalo mass shooter, 438 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: the eighteen year old who apparently was very paranoid about COVID. 439 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: That's why he wore a hazmat suit to school. Although 440 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: his aunt says he eventually did get infected with COVID. 441 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: His aunt and uncle are speaking and think that it 442 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: may have affected his brain. The isolation made him paranoid. 443 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: They didn't know him as racist. The other story that 444 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: popped up, The Daily Beast has taken a look at 445 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: what appears to be his ramblings on a messaging app 446 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: called Discord. I don't know it myself, but you're not 447 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: a mass killer. I is that where mass killers go? 448 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: To Discord a messaging app? I do look at the 449 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: name Discord. That's not a happy crowd. It does sound 450 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: like so he wrote this. I spent twenty hours in 451 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: a hospital emergency room on five eight twenty one. This 452 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: was because I answered murder suicide to the question what 453 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: do you want to do when you retire? It was 454 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: an online assignment in my economics class. He apparently was 455 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: using the name Jimbow Boy with three eyes on the 456 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: end Jimbo Boy, which he also used to live stream 457 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: the attack. That's why it's a pretty good guess this 458 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: is him. The New York Times reported that Gendren made 459 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: a similar thread around the end of the school year 460 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: and was taken in for an evaluation by state police 461 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: about a week after his self described emergency room visit. 462 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: Well at the hospital, he continued, I was thinking of 463 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: a personal attack against the replacers at this point. And 464 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: if you don't know by now, that's a reference he 465 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: got from some of his online learning to the replacement 466 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: theory that you know, all the immigrants are going to 467 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: replace all the white people, and that's the government plan. 468 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: He got him pretty worked up. That's the plan of 469 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: the leads. But am I reading that right? So it 470 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: says here his self described emergency room visit, that's when 471 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: he was sent to the mental health center for the 472 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: psychiatric evaluation. Snow, it looks like this is two different things, 473 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: because it says he's made a similar threat around the 474 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: end of the school year, and that was in June. 475 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: We understand he was taken in for an evaluation, so 476 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: this may have been a separate incident that occurred. Well, 477 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: maybe he was taken twice because his first line as 478 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: I spent twenty hours in a hospital's emergency room on 479 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: May twenty eighth, because I answered murder suicide on the 480 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: question right, And then they're saying he made the same 481 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: threat at the end of the school year, which is 482 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: a month hunter in June. Okay, either way, he's going 483 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: in for a psych evaluation, and while he's sitting in 484 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: the hospital, he's fantasizing about where he's going to be 485 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: killing people. But the psychiatric professionals didn't pick up on 486 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: any of this. But this is how he's passing the 487 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: time in his head, trying to decide where am I 488 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: going to go shoot? Right While at the hospital, he continued, 489 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: he was thinking of a personal attack against the replacements. 490 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: I watched the christ Church mass shooting a few weeks previously, 491 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: and I began reading up on the shooters motives and beliefs. 492 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: He was a student at the State University of New 493 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: York Broom in New York Southern Tier at the time 494 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: of many of his writing. See he did go on 495 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: to college. John, Yeah, he was not a hell person, 496 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: so he was trying to figure out what this is 497 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: really grim too many white people where he was. So 498 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: he was trying to find a better location for mass murder. 499 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: And he was looking up I guess census data northern Rochester, 500 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: Mount Vernon, Hempstead, and he was honing it on Rochester. 501 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: He had a map of the city and suburbs and 502 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: he highlighted predominantly black areas in red. And then he 503 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: thought about a supermarket like a Rochester Walmart or a Wegman's. 504 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: I need to check the Walmart on Monday evenings so 505 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: I can get an idea of the races that enter. Wow, 506 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: this guy's really creepy. He also suggested targeting black children 507 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: or black churchgoers. Church would be interesting for the large 508 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: amount of people in one place, but I don't know. 509 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: I got a bad feeling about it doing it a church. 510 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: I would try try to attack a black elementary school, 511 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure how i'd get in. Maybe a 512 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: synagogue would be a desirable place. He apparently considered suicide, 513 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: but then thought he was too far along with this 514 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: and it was too late to turn back. He was 515 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: going to do the mass shooting right and if you 516 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: remember one of the details they revealed he put the 517 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: gun to his head when the cops surrounded him in 518 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: the supermarket, So it seemed like for a moment he 519 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: was going to do himself in, but then he just 520 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: gave himself up like the chicken that he is, the 521 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: piece of crap. There's a photo he posted of him 522 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: sitting in his class wearing the hazmat suit complete with 523 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: a face mask, and oh yeah, look at that picture. Yeah, 524 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: it looks it looks like a helmet. That didn't result 525 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: in a psych evaluation. No, this is what I'm saying. 526 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: That kid comes into my classroom, i'd want to evaluate 527 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: his mental health, right, But it's the same school year 528 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: that he announces his murder suicide intentions. Yeah. Well, and 529 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: the site and the mental health professionals couldn't pick up 530 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: on it. He's sitting in front of them, fantasizing about 531 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: where he's going to do the shooting. That's what's going 532 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: on in his head as he's staring at the mental 533 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: health professionals, but they didn't pick up the crazy. Wow, 534 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: it looks like he may have had two mental health visits, 535 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: one in May and one in June over the same thing. 536 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: When I retire, I want to do murders. We must 537 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: fight these racist attacks. Well, he's sitting in the mental 538 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: health hospital. What are you going to take these people away? Oh? Yeah, 539 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: you know what, you should have gone to his computer 540 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: and that that should be mandatory. Get on his computer 541 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: and find out his Internet history. When you see he's 542 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: on discord, get you better get that user name and 543 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: password and start reading his thoughts. It's not that hard. 544 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: They could have figured this out in about an hour. 545 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: Right again, what's the name of the mental health evaluators? Right? 546 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: Who are they? Nice work? All right? The Laguna Woods 547 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: church shooting. We now know the name of the shooter. 548 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: We now know why he wanted to shoot people because 549 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: they were Taiwanese and he's Chinese. But why he came 550 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: all the way from Vegas. Well, you know, he could 551 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: have done the same thing the Buffalo shooter did. He 552 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: scouted out where he could find what he Yeah, he 553 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,719 Speaker 1: might have he might have found a listing for that 554 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: Taiwanese church service today. That's when they have it. All right, 555 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: we'll be talking to Corbyn Carson next
