11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: of the crime headlines this afternoon. Pizza delivery driver killed

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: while helping assault victim. Ninety three year old Marino Valley

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: homeowner shoots and injures intruder. We're going to talk now

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: about West Hollywood, and this is one of those places

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: where there's enough city officials who believe in to funding

16
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: the police. They also believe that we may be better

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: off with what they call secure Purity ambassadors. West Hollywood

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: is not part of the City of La It's not

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: covered by LAPD. They contract with the La County Sheriff's Department.

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: And the city council voted. It was controversial. It was

21
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: three to two to move ahead with a plan to

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: cut back on the La County Sheriff's Department patrols and

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: use that money, as it put they put it in

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: this story to strengthen other public safety programs like these

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: security ambassadors. These are unarmed people who wear blue shirts

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know, walk around and they see something bad,

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: they call police. Doesn't make sense. It passed without the

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: support of actually the West Hollywood mayor, who was a

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: big opponent of reducing the sheriff's presence in the city.

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: We have a chance to talk to La County Sheriff

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Alex Vieta Wava about this. Welcome back to the show, Sheriff,

32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. How you doing, Cam good? Are

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: you over covidio? Okay, over covid and back to work?

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: All right. Well, I guess you knew this was coming

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: just news here, but I'm sure you knew this idea

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: was coming. Yeah, you still got those lone outposts of

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: civilizations that never got the President's memo to fund a

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: law enforcement and they want to go in the opposite direction,

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: defund in the middle of a crime wave. Yeah, what

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: do the West Hollywood numbers look like? To have any

41
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: idea of the crime numbers. Well, we got a one

42
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: year increase from May of last year to May this

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: year of one hundred and thirty seven percent increase in

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: crime overall, which is frightening in of itself. But then

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: we're going to reduce the sworn presence in the city

46
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: at the same time, so we're talking about going in

47
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: opposite directions in a very bad way. Yeah. What kind

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: of a cutback is this in terms of the sheriff's

49
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: deputy presence there? Well, they got sixty nine budgeted positions.

50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: They currently have fifty six because of the county's defunding

51
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: and hiring freeze, so they're short already and this is

52
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: going to drop in another force. They're to be down

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: to fifty two when they should be sixty nine. So

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: that means response times they're going to increase. The caseload

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: on detective is going to increase per detective because there's

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: just not enough people to handle the increase workload, and

57
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: community is going to be less safe courtesy of this

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: new majority of the city council. Yeah, and did they

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: talk to you about it at all or they just

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: made this decision unilaterally. This was unilaterally sprung at surprise

61
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: at swaying third vote, the person was out. I gets

62
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: on vacation for a few weeks and our captain Molder

63
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: at the station a new captain. He was just totally

64
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: blindsided by this because there was a very vocal minority

65
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: on the Public Safety Advisory Committee. They were all championing

66
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: the defunding of law enforcement, anti law enforcement from the

67
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: get go. This includes the daughter of the owner of

68
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: the La Times. Apparently she has a peel box in

69
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: was Hollywood to make her resident. Oh yeah, we've talked

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: about her. She's really woke crazy. Oh yeah, man so,

71
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: and this is all Lindsey Horvat. This is her campaign

72
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: to become supervisor. How she's campaigning to get rid of

73
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: as many comps as possible. Yeah, she's a city councilperson

74
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: in West Hollywood, but she is trying to get on

75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: the La County Board of Supervisors. That would be a

76
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: horrible thing pretty much for the county overall. Yes, because

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: she wants to continue the legacy of Sheila Kuell of

78
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: defunding law enforcement and prompting up the homeless industry. Of

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Complex and West Hollywood. We talked about earlier this year

80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: there was a guy that was trying to chase down

81
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: women and sexually assault them. They've got to be out

82
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: of their minds. Security ambassadors. What do you know about that? Well,

83
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: I all I gotta do is look at Santa Monica.

84
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: They have their ambassadors, the same type of city council.

85
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: It's been an absolute failure. The promenade business owners are

86
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: losing their mind. They can't attract tenants to their shops.

87
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: They can't keep business open if half boarded up, overrun

88
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: by the home lists. And but I get at least

89
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: the majority of the city council feels better about themselves.

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a money problem, because apparently

91
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: they had eighty five thousand dollars to upgrade their Rainbow

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Crosswalk to be more inclusive of the diverse LGBTQ community.

93
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that story, Sheriff. No.

94
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me though, because you know, if they

95
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: want to increase other facets without decreasing the law enforcing presence,

96
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: that's fine, and we can all work in collaboration. Even

97
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: though the nonprofit route people that want to help, no problem.

98
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: But when you're taking away the framework that makes the

99
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: crooks be afraid, well, then you're really harming the residence.

100
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: So if you heard any blowback from West Hollywood residents

101
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: who are reaching out to you guys, trying to say,

102
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: what can we do here to stop this from happening? Oh,

103
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: the blowback was instantaneous from the council meeting on Monday night,

104
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: the letters that everyone's putting on Weehoville and on social media,

105
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: and you got one angry mayor and the city council

106
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: that voted against this reckless policy. And I think people

107
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: are just set up with this virtuous signaling where they're

108
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: doing experiments with other people's lives and they're just tired

109
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, what a security ambassador is going to

110
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: do when you have somebody who, like I just mentioned

111
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: the guy that was trying to sexually assault women running around,

112
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: What good does that do? Are they supposed to just

113
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: call something in and then your deputies respond anyway? I

114
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: don't understand. Well, they're gonna do exactly that. They're going

115
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: to call it in and then there's gonna be less

116
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: deputies that they are able to go respond to them

117
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: to the problems. See how that works. Yeah, I don't know.

118
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: The insanity continues. All right, Sheriff, thanks for spending a

119
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: few minutes with us appreciating you got it. Thank you guys.

120
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: All right. The Sheriff alex Seville away Va, LA County,

121
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: responding to this decision by the West Hollywood City Council.

122
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: It's about thirty five thousand people that live in West Hollywood.

123
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: A lot of them are not happy. And you may see, ohs,

124
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: it's probably a woke community. But they can see one

125
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven percent increase in reported crime in

126
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: West Hollywood in the last years. That's shocking. And some

127
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: of it, like in other parts of LA, has been

128
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: pretty brutal, like the guy that I mentioned that was

129
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: chasing down women that he wanted to sexually assault. But nevertheless,

130
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: you know this crowd that believes, these true believer, woke

131
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: people that we have to defund the police. So they're

132
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: going to cut back on the patrols by the La

133
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department in West Hollywood and replace them. And

134
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: they put it this way, but we'll be able to

135
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: find it. We'll be able with that money, we'll have

136
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: more security ambassadors to walk around the city and notice

137
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: the crime as it happens and maybe get on a

138
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: waukie talkie or a cell phone and try to get

139
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: some help. Terrible, terrible decision, but you know, I guess

140
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: West Hollywood not particularly surprising. All right. When I come back,

141
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the first thing that's going to happen is you're going

142
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: to have a shot at some money. But you need

143
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: to listen for the keyword to enter at the website

144
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: KFI amsty dot com. John and Ken's show on KFI.

145
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: And it's an editorial that appeared in the Alsa Gondo

146
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Times that was written if you scroll to the bottom,

147
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: by a couple of public defenders. So it's really not surprising.

148
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: Shouldn't be taken seriously, if not laughed at. But it

149
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: begins with this. The Los Angeles County Superior Court leadership

150
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: recently announced it would end a common sense that's underline

151
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: policy adopted in April of twenty twenty that helped limit

152
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: the spread of COVID nineteen in jails. It was the

153
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: Court's emergency zero bail order. It's allowed people accused of

154
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: misdemeanors and other lower level crimes. I always like that

155
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: to this part's really great. Let me read the whole thing.

156
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: The courts emergency zero bail order has allowed people accused

157
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: of misdemeanors and lower level crimes to work and care

158
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: for family members rather than sitting dangerously overcrowded jails while

159
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: awaiting trial. The Superior Court is set to end the

160
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: policy on Thursday, without any evidence it'll lead to increase

161
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: public safety. See I don't remember that that long ago.

162
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: LAPD got out there, talked to the press and said, oh,

163
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: we've got several guys. They're committing robberies, but because they're

164
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: considered lower level offenders, they're released without bail. I guess what,

165
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: they go back and commit more robberies. They're seeing this

166
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: in New York. There's a story there's a woman in

167
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: New York. They're calling her a professional booster. When I

168
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: first saw the picture, I didn't really understand it was

169
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: a woman. But apparently she has been arrested a hundred

170
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: times for shoplifting and released every time. Michelle mckelly was

171
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: arrested last weekend for grabbing one hundred and twenty five

172
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: dollars worth the goods from a CVS and Lower Manhattan

173
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: and was freed because the State of New York has

174
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: the same kind of policies we do. They don't want

175
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: She has failed to appear in court twenty seven times

176
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: on her multitude to pass the arrests. This is a

177
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: way to handle criminal justice. This is madness. So the argument,

178
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: of course from these public defenders, besides the fact that

179
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: they could be home, caring for family members and working.

180
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: You think these people who are arrested for these crimes,

181
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing with the rest of their time.

182
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: They're laughing at you. You're no bail policy. They're laughing

183
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: at you. You talk about revolving door justice. There is

184
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: no consequence. There's not even a bail consequence. Of course,

185
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: the argument made is that the La County jails are overcrowded.

186
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: We'll build more of them. But as you know, than

187
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: led by the La County Board of Supervisors, they want

188
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: to close all of the La County jails. They want

189
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: to turn this into some sort of rehabilitation centers something

190
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: like that. Some of it deals with mental health. Wow.

191
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: So the story goes on, of course, to make the

192
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: case that these people are too poor. Since they can't

193
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: afford bail, they have no option but to stay in trail.

194
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. And they always try to

195
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: sell you on the fact that this is low level offenses.

196
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: They say that, just like the La County District Attorney

197
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: George Gascone says that. But don't believe that, and people escalate.

198
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: People now that are committing what they consider a low

199
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: level shoplifting crimes or drug offenses, they'll graduate to the

200
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: next level of crime. A lot of them will, because

201
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: there are no consequences. You reap what you sew, and

202
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: this kind of treatment of people who commit crimes is

203
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: what's only going to make this worse. We're seeing this

204
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: all the time. You may have heard the story. It's

205
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: been on ko FI news that there were three convenience

206
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: store robberies overnight in La County between twelve and two am.

207
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Three people wearing dark clothings and masks. First robbery was

208
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: at a seven to eleven in Pomona. I'm guessing they

209
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: might be the same people that just went from one

210
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: to the next. This happened just before one am, and

211
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: they took money from the register and then ran another

212
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: robbery fifteen minutes later in Diamond Bar. They took register

213
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: from the store and they ran off. This is all

214
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: being reported by the La County Sheriff's Department. By the way,

215
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: that was the second robbery within three days at the

216
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: Diamond Bar seven eleven. Nice. Do you really want to

217
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: be in that business right now where you're that's liquor

218
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: stores seven elevens because they're open overnight when the worst

219
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: things happen. That's got to be like one of the

220
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: most dangerous jobs to have, especially if you're living. If

221
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: you're doing this in California and you're doing this in

222
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: La County, whereas I mentioned, there's no consequences for anything. Finally,

223
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: you're on two am, there was a call for help

224
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: at a seven eleven in Whittier. They took the actual

225
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: cash register jumped out into a car. In addition to

226
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: the robberies mentioned above, another robbery occurred of a seven

227
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: eleven in the City of Industry on Monday. Five robberies

228
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: just in the same general vicinity. And we understand from

229
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: producer Ray who knows Whittier well, that this is the

230
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: same seven to eleven, the one in Whittier on Whittier

231
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: Boulevard where a famous case came about on The John

232
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: and Ken Show, which led to the final execution of

233
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: a man by the name of Tuki Williams. This is

234
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: back in like two thousand and five. Is one of

235
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: the last people to be executed in the state of

236
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: California before it got all cut off by Jerry Brown

237
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: and judges and carried on by Governor Dippity Doo. But

238
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: that robbery resulted in the death. So I think of

239
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: a couple of employees at the seven to eleven, But welcome.

240
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been doing this show for years, and

241
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: ever since Prop forty seven passed in twenty fourteen, we

242
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: have been watching. And then we get a mayor like Garcetti,

243
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: and then we get this makeup of the Board of Supervisors.

244
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: Let's forget the La City Council that's been a lost

245
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: cause for years. And then you get a da like

246
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: George Gascone, and we're just watching this accumulate and accumulate

247
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: because just like with homelessness, with crime, if there are

248
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: no consequences, people will repeat the behavior. There's nothing to

249
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: be learned from it, and they're being enabled by this

250
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: crowd of elected officials, which decides that we're safer if

251
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: we have more criminals on the streets, if we have

252
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: more homeless people on the streets. All right, well, I return.

253
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: My guest is going to be Brandon Judd. Brandon is

254
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: president of the Board of Patrol Council, that's the union

255
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: for border patrol agents. What we'll be talking about is

256
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: the horror show that was revealed down in San Antonio, Texas.

257
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: We have now learned that fifty three migrants were found

258
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: dead in that tractor trailer which apparently had picked up

259
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: the migrants after they were smuggled over the border. We

260
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: don't know how long they drove, but this refrigerated truck

261
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: had no refrigeration, no ac, there was no water, there

262
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: was no windows, and that's why so many people died.

263
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: We'll get Brandon's perspective coming up next. I'm the John

264
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: and Ken's show on kfive. We're going to get right

265
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: into it. We have an opportunity here to speak to

266
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, that's

267
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: the labor union that represents the border patrol agents, and

268
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: it's about the migrant deaths. We understand this afternoon the

269
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: number of migrants who died in that tractor trailer down

270
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: in San Antonio has hit fifty three as they still

271
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: try to sort out this tragedy. And Brandon, of course

272
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: in the Border Patrol know all too well thing operations

273
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: that can lead to these kinds of disasters. Brandon, how

274
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: are you. I'm doing well, Thank you. I appreciate you

275
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: having me on. All right? What is your understanding of

276
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: the circumstances of what happened down there with this truck

277
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: that apparently had no air conditioning. I mean, this is

278
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: something that we see on a regular basis. You know,

279
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of funny that the Left is using this

280
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: and saying this that and saying that this is an

281
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: example that the border is closed because they're going to

282
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: extreme measures, and that's just not true. People that don't

283
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: want to be detected or apprehended, they're going to go

284
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: through extreme measures. We see this all the time. We've

285
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: seen that throughout my entire twenty five year career in

286
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: the Border Patrol. And so it's not an example of

287
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: the border being closed. In fact, it's an example of

288
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: the border being open. The reason why it's an example

289
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: of that is we just don't have the manpower and

290
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: the filter detect these types of instance that are taking place.

291
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: This semi trailer went through a checkpoint. And because our

292
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: personnel are ostensibly being used to do administrative duties such

293
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: as processing, hostile watch, transports, and detention security, all duties

294
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: that were not supposed to be doing. But because of

295
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: the huge flood and illegal immigration, that's what we're relegated

296
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: to doing. We just didn't have the people in the

297
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: field that would have allowed us to detect this smuggling

298
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: event taking place. And that is a tragedy. But let's

299
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: be clear, this is it's a tragedy because it's such

300
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: a large number of people at one time. But if

301
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: you look at this fiscal year, we've already had five

302
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: hundred and nine deaths on the border this fiscal year. Well,

303
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, what are the guidelines when

304
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: a truck like this is coming through a border crossing?

305
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: What are the agents supposed to look for? How do

306
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: they handle that? So this truck did not, as far

307
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: as I know, it didn't come across the border from Mexico.

308
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: These people crossed the border illegally. They did not cross

309
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: to the port of entry. They then loaded into the

310
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: tractor trailer in the United States and then they drove

311
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: north and they went through a border patrol checkpoint. Um,

312
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: that is not right on the border. You know, we

313
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: have these checkpoints. We have these checkpoints there there to

314
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: their their uh. The main purpose is to stop smuggling

315
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: U the furtherance of a smuggling event, but we just

316
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: didn't have the resources, um at that checkpoint to properly

317
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: detect this event. So let me ask you this because

318
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: the response has been, well, yeah, closed borders. But if

319
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: the borders were open, why would people need to be

320
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: smuggled into attractor trailer into the United States, or at

321
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: least some one as you were saying now they were

322
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: put into the truck after they got into the US.

323
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: Why do we have to do that? The borders wide

324
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: open because of Biden, people don't need to to smuggle

325
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: into the country illegally anymore. Well, so you've got you've

326
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: got two things that are happening on the border. You've

327
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: got the people that are crossed the border illegally, and

328
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: they don't care. They don't care that we detect them.

329
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: They don't care that we're that we're fingerprinting them, that

330
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: we that we find out who they are and whether

331
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: or not they have a criminal record here in the

332
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: United States. But then you've got the other people that

333
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: are trying to avoid apprehension. They don't want to be detected,

334
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: they don't want the government to know that they're here.

335
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: And those are the people that are embedding themselves in

336
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: the tractor traders or in these very very dangerous situations

337
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: that we're seeing across the entire body. You know, you

338
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: got to look at the numbers of people that have

339
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: been released into United States under what we dubbed the

340
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Catching Release Program, and that's been over a million, about

341
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: a million and one million, two hundred thousand people have

342
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: been released. But then you also have those people that

343
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: are in these smuggling events that are trying to evade

344
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: apprehension that we call gotaways, and there's been nearly a

345
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: million of them as well. And those are the people

346
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: that do not want to get caught. They don't want

347
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: to be detected. The smuggling operations, too, are quite lucrative

348
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: for the cartels, aren't they. Oh, extremely, And it's very

349
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: disappointing to us because what we're doing by the Catching

350
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: Release Program, which is the main magnet, is allowing these

351
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: cartels to go out throughout the world and advertise their services.

352
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: We're enriching them. Our policies are enriching, are enriching these

353
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: very very dangerous organizations. We just saw this event. It

354
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: clearly shows these cartels do not care about life. They

355
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: do not care if people die. All they care about

356
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: is the bottom line. They just care about making money.

357
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: And because business is so booming right now, the amount

358
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: of money that they're making is astronomic. We've just never

359
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: seen anything like this before. The details we're hearing too

360
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: about this particular incident in San Antonio that perhaps the

361
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: smugglers pulled over to the side of the road realizing

362
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: that something was going on in the back, maybe people

363
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: trying to get out, and when they discovered what was

364
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: going on. Did you hear that they may have put

365
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: food seasoning over them to try to cloak the smell. No,

366
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that. I don't know the specifics of

367
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: it because this is not a Board of trol event.

368
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: This is going to This has turned over to UM

369
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: Homeland Security investigations. Texas DPS was involved in the investigation,

370
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: so we didn't have a hand in this. Those people

371
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 1: that that and you know that the death tolls up

372
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: to fifty three. There are still several individuals in the

373
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: hospital in critical condition, so the death toll could actually

374
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: go up, But once those people then come out of

375
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: the hospital, then they'll be turned over to border troll custody.

376
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: What's your take to on this year and a half

377
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: or so we've had of Biden as president. We've had

378
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: you on the show obviously a few times since Biden's

379
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: become president, But honestly, things haven't changed. I just saw

380
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: the latest migrant and counter numbers. They were just off

381
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: the charts. Yeah, things just keep getting worse. I thought,

382
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, any any intelligent person would have thought the

383
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: first three months the Biden administration, when they hit up

384
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: to one hundred and seventy thousand apprehensions in one month,

385
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: we thought we hit the ceiling. We thought for sure

386
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: the administration was going to have to do something about it.

387
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: The problem was, was the mainstream it covered for him.

388
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: They weren't reporting it, they weren't telling the American public

389
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: what was going on, and so because of that, they

390
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: were allowed to continue status quo. And the problem has

391
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: just gotten worse and worse and worse. And let's be honest,

392
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, even with this event, they're buying into

393
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: this whole preposterous notion that well, the borders closed. Look,

394
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: they're going through extreme measures and they just will not

395
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: tell the American public the truth. Yeah, I don't know

396
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: what the border is closed means to them, because with

397
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: the number of migrant apprehensions, clearly the border isn't closed.

398
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: Because you just talked about the getaways, the catch and releases.

399
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: It's really out of control, more than it ever was

400
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: during a Trump's four years. Now, it's more than anything

401
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: that I've ever seen. And it's not like it's close.

402
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: You know, when we talked about we're breaking records here

403
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: and we're breaking records there, it's not like we're breaking

404
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: records by a little bit. We're breaking records by double

405
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: the amount of previous And that's that's scary. When you

406
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: consider the people that are entering the country. We're dealing

407
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: with people from countries around the world. You know, the

408
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern countries, Eastern European countries, Western African nations. We

409
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: know those countries. They do not like the United States,

410
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: They want to do us harm. And yet those are

411
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the people that we're dealing with. And

412
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: so when you consider the gataways, when you consider that

413
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: nearly a million people have been able to enter this

414
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: country without detection. That's a scary thought and we might

415
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: not know what the actual outcome is for a couple

416
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: of years, but ultimately it's going to hurt the American people. Yeah,

417
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: they've they've picked up people that have been on the

418
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: watch lists, Terra watch lists, I mean, bizarre. So we're

419
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: waiting out to see what happens with the title forty two.

420
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: And I think the Supreme Court is looking at the

421
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: remain in Mexico policy, aren't they They are. The problem

422
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: with that is is the administration is always going to

423
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: exercise what's called prosecutorial discretion. They're going to determine whether

424
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: or not they have the resources to prosecute these people

425
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: or send them back to Mexico. And if they say

426
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: they don't have the resources to do it, then there's

427
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: no teeth to the ruling. What the Supreme Court is

428
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: going to rule on is whether or not the Biden

429
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: administration legally get away with the remaining Mexico program. But

430
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: they can't tell them that you must send every single

431
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: person back. Now, what I do anticipate is there's going

432
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: to be more lawsuits, you know, challenging the notion that

433
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: the administration doesn't have the resources and those lawsuits are

434
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: are going to be huge. But the first step is

435
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: is get the Supreme Court to rule on this. Hopefully

436
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: they rule in what I believe is lawful, which is

437
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: that the remaining Mexico program should remain in place. And

438
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: if they do that, then then other lawsuites can follow.

439
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: All right, Brandon, always a pleasure to talk to you.

440
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for taking some time. Appreciate your time.

441
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, Brandon Judd, President of the National

442
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: Border Patrol Council, commenting on the horror that was discovered

443
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: the other day in San Antonio, Texas. The death toll

444
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: is now fifty three. The migrants who were jammed into

445
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: the back of the tractor trailer. It was a refrigerated

446
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: truck that had no air conditioning. More coming up on

447
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: the John and Ken Show KFI AM six forty and

448
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: a couple of other notes about that tractor trailer. They're

449
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: calling it the migrant death truck. In San Antonio, they

450
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: arrested two guys illegal immigrants through right now, charging them

451
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: with gun crimes. The third guy is the actual guy

452
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: that drove the truck homerow Zamarano forty five. They actually

453
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: have a picture of him behind the wheel of the

454
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: trailer when it passed through the border patrol checkpoint that

455
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: you heard Brandon Judd mention that's in Encinnel, Texas. This

456
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: is about three hours before the dead people who were discovered.

457
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: He's smiling as he passes through the checkpoint, probably realizing, ah,

458
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: we made it. Also, apparently when he was finally caught,

459
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: he pretended that he was one of the victims. Oh

460
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: my god, these people deserve the death penalty. And if

461
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: it's true that they spread meat seasoning over the bodies

462
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: to hide the odor, un freak and believable. Right, Well,

463
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: we'll end the show with a couple of things that

464
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: are happening nationally. A lot of abortion protest today in LA.

465
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: Is that No, people aren't taken to the streets over

466
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: the rov wade. No what, Oh right, it's the insurrection

467
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: hearings they're obsessed with now. And we've learned that there

468
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: may be some doubts over the story that got the

469
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: biggest headlines yesterday that Trump lunged at the limo driver

470
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: and grabbed them by the shoulder. And I said yesterday

471
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: that was the secondhand story. And now the secret Service

472
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: guy that's allegedly said that, according to this aid to

473
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: Trump's chief of staff is saying, oh no, I'll testify

474
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Trump didn't lunge at the driver and

475
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: grabbed them by the shoulder. It's Trump's an emotional, out

476
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: of control guy. But you know, not every story is

477
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: to be believed. The Vice President Kamala Harris has had

478
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: to walk back part of what she said in a

479
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: CNN interview about the prospect of Joe Biden running for reelection.

480
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: Quote she told Dana Bash on Monday in the interview,

481
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's running for reelection and I'll be a ticket mate,

482
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: full stop. Right out of the Gavin Newsome playbook, full

483
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: stop apparently today, Well, the president intends to run, and

484
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: if he does, I'll be a ticket mate. We will

485
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: run together. So little softening of this statement. We thought

486
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: you would enjoy this little audio clip from that same interview.

487
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: She's asked, of course, about Roe versus Wade. Most of

488
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: this is a word salad. The other one I heard

489
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: about her, which is a pretty good one. She's a

490
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: random word generator. It's a pretty funny one too, just

491
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: things that come into her head. She just babbles. So

492
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: as she babbles, here listen to the part which got

493
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: the most attention, where she seems to be able to

494
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: define what a woman is. Here we go. I couldn't

495
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: believe it it um, because they actually did it. And

496
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: here's what they did. The Court actually took a constitutional

497
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: right that has been recognized for half a century and

498
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: took it from the women of America. Likes to shocking

499
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: when you think about it, of what that means terms

500
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: of democratic principles, in terms of the ideals upon which

501
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: we were founded, about liberty, about freedom. Um. You know,

502
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: I thought about it as you know, a parent. We

503
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: have two children who are in their twenties, a son

504
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: and a daughter. I thought about it as a godparent

505
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: of teenagers. I thought of it as an aunt of

506
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: of preschool children and a woman myself and the daughter

507
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: of a woman. Yes, and a granddaughter of a woman.

508
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: What and you know, and I are actually talking about it.

509
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: We have a twenty three year old and my mother

510
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: in laws in her eighties, our daughter the rights for

511
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: the court for the amount of time that my mother

512
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: in law knew these rights, which is the right, that

513
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: that should be well settled, that a woman should have

514
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: to make decisions about her own body. And when we

515
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: think about it, everyone has something at risk on this.

516
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: Who knew? I mean, she was in California politics quite

517
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: a while. She was our attorney general, she was a senator.

518
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: She did she wasn't put this much into the spotlight

519
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: before she really has. She cannot speak off the top

520
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: of her head. It is pathetic. It is hard to believe.

521
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: People said that she was a pretty good interrogator in

522
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: the courtroom, but oh my god, and the daughter of

523
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: a woman. Yeah, the granddaughter of a woman. Thank you

524
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: for clarifying that. Conway's here. Hey, now, let me ask

525
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: you a quick question. Every woman in the world right

526
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: now is a daughter of a woman. Well, what about

527
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: if yeah, what about if the person that was their

528
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: birthing person no longer identifies as a woman. Hmm, I

529
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: think when you were born, I think it's still chalked

530
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: up as a w's like a weird like wind. They

531
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: get the win. You love her? Isn't she a remarkable Harris?

532
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: She really just she spelled binding. But everybody going into

533
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: it thought she was really smart because nobody ever really

534
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: heard her speak before, and she got, you know, so

535
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: ahead of everything. I mean, she did everything so quickly,

536
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden she's vice president. But people

537
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: don't remember. Going back to Iowa, nobody voted for her

538
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: in Iowa, she less ended up with less than one

539
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: half of one percent of the vote in Iowa. And

540
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: now she's a deer in the headlight, restating the obvious

541
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: and talking to us like we're five years old. Yeah.

542
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: I feel bad for though. I mean, she's she has

543
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, the public doesn't like her. The the Democrats

544
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: don't like Biden, doesn't like Biden, doesn't like her. I

545
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: guess Jill Biden hates her. It's it's horrible, you know.

546
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: But she was told by that that old husband, here's

547
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: Billy U. What's his name, the old guy that she

548
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: was dating up in San Francisco, Willy Brown, Willie Brown,

549
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: Willy Brown, Willy Brown Cauldron said don't take this job.

550
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be the worst move of your life.

551
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: And she said no, She goes, I want this job,

552
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: and she took it. Well. He gave her the step

553
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: up into political life, right, but he told her, he said,

554
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: this is not you know, this is not the you

555
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: know California local politics. This is international politics, and you

556
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: don't know anything about that nasty stuff. A right, Steve

557
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: Gregory's coming on at six oh five, so short and

558
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: just shortly. And then there was an LA PD standoff

559
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: that went on for a long long time up in

560
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: the Sunland there one of the cool areas of Los Angeles.

561
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: And a woman has been airlifted after her home exploded

562
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: in Victorville. Oh my god. Yeah, it was horrible, horrible.

563
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: And then that's as she used natural gas. The natural

564
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: gas is bad. Yeah, that'll kill you. I'll kill you.

565
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: But R Kelly was setting the thirty years in prison

566
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: after a sex trafficking convictions. I don't know how old

567
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: he is now, but man, thirty years. That's a long time,

568
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: but it is. I think it's a federal case, so

569
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: you often have to serve that. Oh is that right

570
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: about sex trafficking and stuff? I think it might be. Yeah,

571
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it's worth it, right,

572
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: I think whatever you a fantasy, you have it up

573
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: in your head, keep it up in your head, and

574
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, ump involve your shorts. Right, he's fifty five, okay,

575
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: so he's gonna be eighty five when he's out. Wow,

576
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: imagine going to an eighty five year old R Kelly concert.

577
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: But he didn't have a hit. Eric, what was his

578
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: big hit? He had a huge hit. I believe I

579
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: can fly. Oh that's right, yeah, right, that was a big,

580
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: huge Wait. What was it about a girl being trapped

581
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: in the closet? Oh? I didn't know. Come on, you

584
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's horrible. All right, I believe I could fly?
