1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Caf I Am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app around 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: the radio from one until four and after four o'clock 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: the iHeart app John and Ken on Demand, it's the 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: podcast and you could pick up what you missed. But 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: you already missed so far was Steve Gregory with fascinating 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: reports out of Maui and how hard the Hawaiian officials 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: are trying to hide what went wrong with their response 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: to the fire and what's been the outcome. You have 10 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail saying that it's not one hundred and eleven, 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: it's probably more like almost five hundred people that died, 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: So we're going to see which way that goes. And 13 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: the other story that has we've given a lot of 14 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: coverage too, because it's terrorizing people in southern California. Is 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: the smash and grab robberies here in southern California. Do 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: you know in the last year and a half, and 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: this is from the La County Sheriff, Robert Luna, there's 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: been one hundred and seventy of these ae hundred and 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: seventy and this is the complete utter failure of the 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: progressive justice system, all their stupid ideas that have built 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: on each other over the last twelve years. Now, it's 22 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: been twelve years this since they started emptying the jails. 23 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: And this is what we have now, one hundred and 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: seventy smash and grab robberies in a year and a 25 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: half in one county, LA County. And one of the 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: latest is was Glendale, the Americana brand, the shopping center, 27 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: the one Rick Caruso owns. He was on with us 28 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: this week and they've made their first arrest. It happened 29 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: late yesterday afternoon. It was announced Ivan Ramirez, twenty three 30 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: year old from Los Angeles. Glendale police arrested him and 31 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: he's been charged. They stole he and his buddies and 32 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: there were there were dozens of them, ran off with 33 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars in merchandise. 34 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: Although as I'm finding out, they could be one one bag, right. 35 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: Dever, But yes, yes, John, yes, but. 36 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: It was probably dozens of bags in this case, I'm sure. Yeah. 37 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: Now, so Ramirez is the first one to get arrested. 38 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: And what am I looking at here? If you go 39 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: to Channel five their website KTLA dot com and if 40 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: you find this story, they have a color photo of 41 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: a wanted poster, Brianna Jiminez. It's a it's a woman, 42 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: although it looks like a girl. I mean it looks 43 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: like a young teenage girl and really has a baby 44 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: faced She's twenty one at least that's the age that 45 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: she's listened at, but she looks much younger. And it's like, 46 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: so this is the face of the smash and grab 47 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: robbers in Glendale. Huh Rihanna Hyman is And you know 48 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: everybody's screaming because you know you can't pull back anymore. 49 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: Everybody's got to be brutally honest. We have dangerously incompetent 50 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: people running the city in the county, Okay. George Gascone 51 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: is an absolute menace to civilization. He is as dangerous 52 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: as any group of thieves, any group of criminals, because 53 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: he's letting him run around. And Karen bass is another one. 54 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: I was telling a friend today it is amazing how 55 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: having a quiet demeanor and a smile can fool people, 56 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: because her attitudes about crime are exactly the same as 57 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: George Gascon. And the proof is that she had her 58 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: name and photo on Gascone's campaign site as an endorser. 59 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: In fact, her name and photo was the first one 60 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: you saw on the endorsement page. Similarly, Gascone was on 61 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: stage with Karen Bass when she announced her campaign kickoff 62 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: when she first ran for mayor. He was there on 63 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: the stage, So they have no disagreements on this. You know, 64 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: Bass maybe scurrying away from Gascon because he's so toxic 65 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: and he might not want to say anything that would 66 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: damage the reputation of his friend Karen. But the two 67 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: of them are bad news. They are disasters, and they're 68 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: both were supported by really one of the worst meatia 69 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: outlets in American history. And that's what's left of the 70 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: El Segunda Times, which apparently is largely run by a 71 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: twenty five year old woke ads and they they destroyed 72 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: much of the paper. I mean, the paper I figured 73 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: out today is losing. Uh, it's losing a million dollars 74 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: a week because the owner, Patrick suon chian Sega said 75 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: he lost fifty million last year, so that's roughly a 76 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: million dollars a week. So it's it's two hundred thousand. 77 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: It's almost two hundred thousand dollars a day. It's it's 78 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: and they've only got a five percent five percent of 79 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: the subscriber rate as the New York Times, so they've 80 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: destroyed the paper. It doesn't have much influence anymore. The 81 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: coverage is largely atrocious and they basically have four articles. 82 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: It's either race, climate change, gender issues, or COVID. It's 83 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: hard to go a day without being clobbered over the 84 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: head with all that stuff. But they have an editorial board, 85 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: and you really, just for hoots, you should go to 86 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: the their editorial pages and look up this crowd. They're 87 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: cowardly people. They never put their individual names on the editorials. 88 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: It's always by the board. And this spreads the blame 89 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: fourteen different ways. Now I know it's just opinion, and 90 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: you don't have to read it. I don't think it 91 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: influences anyone normal, but politicians like to read this stuff 92 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: because it reinforces how they think. Gascone and Karen Basquet 93 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: a warm feeling when they open the El Segunda Times 94 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: and they see that, oh, yes. 95 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: See the Times is supporting me. 96 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: The Times editorial They think, like I think, so I 97 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: must be right. Well what they write is and these writers, 98 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: well they're not very good. What they do is they 99 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: fill their editorial by stating the obvious, and so you 100 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: have to go through a lot of obvious nonsense. Flash 101 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: mob robberies have been hitting Los Ange jealous again, these 102 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: crimes degrade the quality of life. Blah blah blah. People 103 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: think twice before entering the store. Observers who had dismissed 104 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: the problem as minor are off base. Right, So you're 105 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: reading this and say, all right, this is reasonable here 106 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: so far. Investigators are going to keep monitoring social media 107 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: and look for where the goods are going to the 108 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: resale markets. But then they take a left turn. They know, 109 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: even if the rest of us sometimes forget that flashbob 110 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: style attacks are not a recent or uniquely California problem. 111 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: Here is the old look over there strategy. Oh, it's 112 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: at Chicago, Houston, Jacksonville, other cities and suburbs around the 113 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: US for more than a decade. It is especially bad 114 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: in the cities that have these ridiculous progressive policies period. 115 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: End of story. You're pointing to Chicago. Chicago is an 116 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: open air shooting gallery in more ways than one, between 117 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: the drugs and all the gunfire. You know, if only 118 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: fifty people die in Chicago this weekend, that'll be a 119 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: slow weekend. The LAPD is increasing patrols, but police tactics 120 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: that were the norm two decads decades ago and might 121 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: still make for good TV or a hold on the 122 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: public imagination, are not the key to ending the current 123 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: wave of robberies. We should be relieved, not disappointed, that 124 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,239 Speaker 1: the police did not arrive to confront the thieves outside 125 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: the Doorgstrom store, or the Yves Saint Laurent outlet, or 126 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: the Nike store or the Kasubi store in La brand 127 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: What do you mean we should be relieved relieved if 128 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: the police could get there that quickly, they could have 129 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: arrested them that quickly, and it would be much easier 130 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: to make a case against them. You ever hear the 131 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: phrase caught them red handed. You'd be able to confiscate 132 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: their cars, the expensive cars they bought. You'd be able 133 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: to get all of them at once. You'd be able 134 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: to recover the merchandise. That is one of the stupidest 135 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: statements I've ever read in my life. We should be relieved, 136 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: not disappointed, because otherwise there could have been a shootout 137 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: or hostages. Actually, some of these guys deserve a bullet 138 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: from the police because I think eventually you have to 139 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: scare these characters. Are they going to keep it up? 140 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: There's no consequences. Well, maybe there ought to be a 141 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: few consequences, and there wouldn't be a shootout if the 142 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: robbers obeyed police orders. So we're not supposed to have 143 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: police show up at crime scenes anymore before the criminals leave, 144 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: because there might be a shootout. Really, no, the criminals 145 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: are supposed to follow what the police say, and then 146 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: if they don't, the police have a strategy to deal 147 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: with that. But you can't let them run amok. That 148 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: is conceding all the territory too. The smash and grab thieves, 149 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: then they get they get to control things. 150 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: We'll talk more when we come back. 151 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 152 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: AM six. 153 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: Forty rather ready from one until four and then after 154 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: four o'clock Johnny can on demand the podcast. 155 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 2: You know what we've got coming out of ahead?

I was 163 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: in the middle of giving you this atrocious El Segundo 164 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: Times nonsense from their editorial and they were saying that 165 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: we should be happy that the police did not arrive 166 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: in time to stop all the thieves at all the 167 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: shopping centers where we had these robbies. Can you believe 168 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: that you have these editorial writers who think it's a 169 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: good idea if the police don't show up in time 170 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: to stop a crime. 171 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: Think about that. 172 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: Now, of course, they're eventually going to have these smashing 173 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: robberies where these guys have weapons and might kill some 174 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: of the customers or some of the employees. But I 175 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: guess none of the Wieners on the Times editorial board 176 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: thinks about that that if this is a now a 177 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: lase fair policy officially, then you're going to in fact, 178 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: think about this. If the thieves know that the police 179 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: will never catch them in the act, you are going 180 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: to get more of this. 181 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: Every store is going to get cleaned out. 182 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: Every store will get cleaned out, and eventually you're going 183 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: to have some bad guys get overly aggressive and end 184 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: up hurting or killing the customers and the employees. How 185 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: could you say it's a good thing that the police 186 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: don't show up in time. Have you ever thought that? 187 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a criminal situation? Have you ever 188 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: been scared? What's the first thing you think? Oh, I 189 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: hope the police get here soon. Don't people call the 190 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: police immediately? Why do you call immediately? You don't call 191 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: the next day, you don't call you later that evening. 192 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: You call immediately? Why because you want the police there immediately. 193 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: You don't go and sleep on it and then call 194 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: them next thing in the morning. Because the sooner they're there, 195 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: they might be able to stop it. In fact, if 196 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: they get there soon enough, they'll be able to arrest 197 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: everybody on site. Now, the Americana thing happened over a 198 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: week ago. They nabbed one guy already, No excuse me. 199 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: They nabbed only one guy after what eight nine, ten days? 200 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: One guy, And they have a picture of a second 201 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: and the one that they caught has already been released 202 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: on zero bail. And this is what these idiots, these 203 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: vegetables on the La Times editorial board roots for. 204 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 205 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: Then they write, there's a dangerous myth that as a 206 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: society we've lost the will or ability to to stop 207 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: this kind of crime. There's a reason that these kinds 208 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: of robbery schemes come in waves, with significant respites in between. 209 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: Notice that they're always downplaying it's yeah, yeah, yeah, there's 210 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: waves of crimes. But then you know, in between their arrestpites, 211 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: there's comperiods the perpetrators are caught and punished. The smash 212 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: and grab robberies that struck California during the twenty twenty 213 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: one holiday season ended with arrests, convictions, and imprisonment. I 214 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: don't remember that coverage. How many arrests, how many convictions? 215 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: And are they still in prison? What was the time 216 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: they got because gods are they had zero bail and 217 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: they got out immediately? Were they convicted? What were they 218 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: convicted of? Low level misdemeanors? 219 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 2: See? But the La Times doesn't report on it, so 220 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 221 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: I don't have access to the database to figure this out. 222 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: That's what they're supposed to do, they write more dangerous 223 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: Still is the utter nonsense, perhaps born of frustration deep 224 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: ignorance or political malice. Oh yes, it's all those right 225 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: crazy right wingers that live in La political malice that 226 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: some law enforcement leaders and elected officials continue to spout 227 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: as the supposed underlying reasons for these crimes. They claim 228 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: that these robberies are the result of criminal justice reform. 229 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: All that lenience, all those liberals see that they're mocking here, 230 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: all that lenience, all those liberals. Prop forty seven, which 231 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: reduced some low level property crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, 232 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: zero bail, decriminalization ridiculous, they write. These robberies are organized 233 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: retail thefts and criminal conspiracies, some of them aggravated assaults 234 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: and all of them felonies. Prop forty seven has nothing 235 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: to do with them, right, because it's the first time 236 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: these guys have stolen everything. Right, It's not like they 237 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: didn't steal one hundred times before and gotten away with 238 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: it all. Because we don't police, deals, don't even show 239 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: up for the crime, let alone the arrest and the 240 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: prosecution and the jail. None of it happens anymore, and 241 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: it creates and anything goes mentality, which makes the thieves 242 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: become more bold. They don't get jail time. They don't 243 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: get bail, they don't get felonies charged. Of course, it's 244 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: going to cause a wave and they're going to decide 245 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: to expand their business. Why just go out on your own, 246 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: have one guy steal for you, send thirty guys out. 247 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: Maybe because of the conspiracy. 248 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: There are more crimes here, but there's so many now 249 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: that the police are overloaded. They can't investigate all these crimes. 250 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: That's why we have a task for us. All of 251 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: a sudden, That's why I knew some ascending. 252 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: In the CHP. 253 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: The bad guys are winning. They have a bigger force. 254 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: We're losing. It's clear they wouldn't do this if it 255 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: wasn't easy. They wouldn't do this if there wasn't a reward. 256 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: Because again, are any of the smash and grabbers from 257 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: December twenty twenty one in jail? 258 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 2: Why don't we know that? 259 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: Why don't the El Segundo woke heads these precious twenty 260 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: five year olds. Why don't they do a story on 261 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: what happened to these guys? Geez, I'm sure they all 262 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: got jobs as bankers and accountants. Nor is there any 263 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: evidence of anyone arrested for smash and grab, being released 264 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: without bail. 265 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: And repeatedly committing the same crimes. 266 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: Well, the guy I just told you has already been released, 267 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: and if he goes in freeland Is today and steals, 268 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: you can go to ten different seven elevens or ten 269 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: different stores and not commit a felony. He can take 270 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars here, eight hundred dollars there, seven fifty 271 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: over there. 272 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: None of them are felonies. Many of them won't be reported. 273 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: He's gonna wear a hoodie, he's gonna wear a ski mask, 274 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: his face is gonna be covered. You're not gonna be 275 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: able to catch him, at least not easily, and the 276 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: police are already overloaded. This is anarchy. These people at 277 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: the El Segundo Times are anarchists, and they give moral 278 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: support to these anarchist legislators who want to destroy our 279 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: quality of life and our sense of well being and 280 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: sense of safety because. 281 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 2: They are. 282 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: They are the kind of progressive socialists than a one 283 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: want to upend the United States because they think capitalism 284 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: should be destroyed.

Because there were sixteen hundred and seventy 329 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: a month and so KTVU TV was driving around looking 330 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: for news and they found news. Two guys in a car, 331 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: one drove the car. The other jumped out and would 332 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: look in the windows of parked vehicles and then smash 333 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: the window and pull out whatever they could pull out 334 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: and then move on. Sometime it would be the next car, 335 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: sometimes another half block. Sometimes they'd make a left or 336 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: right turn. This happened in a Fisherman's Wharf. Now Fisherman's 337 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: Wharf is you know a nice section, that's the tourist section. 338 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: And when I've been in San Francisco recently North Beach 339 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: which is nearby and also really nice. That's where all 340 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: the great Italian restaurants are. Those were untouched by the 341 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: UH drug addicts, vagrants and mental patients. But now this 342 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: was the scene at Fisherman's Wharf, the bippers and boosters. 343 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: One suv even had someone sitting in the back seat 344 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: when the windows were smashed, and the thief stole the 345 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: victims bag while he was. 346 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 2: Sitting there in the backseat. Or maybe it was a woman. 347 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. 348 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,239 Speaker 1: And Lieutenant Tracy McCrae told The New York Post that 349 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: the technique is known in the area as bipping and boosting. 350 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: The sidewalks, some of them are glistening and sparkling with 351 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: all the glass from the busted windows. Lieutenant McCrae said, 352 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: they're broken into left and right. McCrae is the president 353 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: of the San Francisco Police Officers Federation and she was 354 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: the victim of one of these crimes. She was visiting 355 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: a relative at a hospital. She's parked for less than 356 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: a half hour car was broken into. This leads us 357 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: to Gavin Newsom because there was a long, long story 358 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: in Politico today Gavin Newsom's future hinges on San Francisco. 359 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: Newsom is so desperate to run for president, and I 360 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: think if Biden falls over for good, which could happen 361 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: any minute. Man, did you see him today at this 362 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: at this summit with the South Korean leader and the 363 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: Japanese leader and they held a public speech with a 364 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: press conference. I was just standing here in the hallway 365 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: looking at the video monitor. There was no sound. CNN 366 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: was carrying it live. And he had this squinty look. 367 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: He looked like he had bad indigestion. I mean he 368 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: really had. He was like sucking on a prune. He 369 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: looked ill. Come on, man, it's just not good. And 370 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: it's hot and humid in Washington, d C. They were 371 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: at Camp David. Well, it's in Maryland, but it's hot 372 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: and humid, and he's standing there and he just looked sick. 373 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 2: Not a joke. 374 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: Anyway, used him, you know, used to be the San 375 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: Francisco mayor and if he wants to run for president, 376 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: he goes he knows, he knows San Francisco is gonna 377 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: sink him. So he's now taken over almost as it says, 378 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: a quasi city executive. In other words, he's kind of 379 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: taken over as the mayor San Francisco again. He says, 380 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: I feel like I am being pulled back to being 381 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: mayor because he knows. Even Politico, which is a left 382 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: wing politics site, he's it's a political liability, they say. 383 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: And he sent in CHP to target fentanyl trafficking, and 384 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: as we were told a little while ago, yeah they 385 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: got two million fentanyl pills. But are the fentinyl dealers 386 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: being sent to prison. No, you can't get the get 387 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: the legislature to even toughen up the laws to send 388 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: him to prison. And he says, I'm my mindful of 389 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: the critics, and I'm one of them that we can 390 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: be doing more and better. I'm mindful that his governor. 391 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: I can't do it all, but the buck stops here, 392 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: and ultimately I'm going to be held to account. 393 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: Well, the city is a disaster. 394 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: Because of the politics that Newsom believes in. There's nothing 395 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: he can do if he doesn't change the philosophy, and 396 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: he's got to change the velocity of the San Francisco mayor, 397 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: the supervisors, the Assembly, and the state Senate. 398 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: You look what they've done. 399 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: They have completely, absolutely dismantled the entire system. It's been 400 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: a twelve year incremental, step by step process and now 401 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: it's in ruins. And we warn you this twelve years ago. 402 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: I'll give it. I'll give this to the progressives. 403 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: They're kind of like the Chinese Communist Party. They might 404 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: have a one hundred year plan, but they're patient with it. 405 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: They know the public aren't is not going to swallow 406 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: a gigantic, drastic package of change, so they just nibble 407 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: a little bit every day, a little bit more and 408 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more. I can can you imagine running 409 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: for president knowing the way the rest of the country 410 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: is much of the rest of the country, and how 411 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: do you survive twenty four hour San Francisco open air 412 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: drug market? Political ads against you. How do you survive that? 413 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe the nation would be that stupid. 414 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: We have a stupid country right now, but electing Gavin Newsom. 415 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: After you saw a few minutes of San Francisco, are 416 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: more coming up John and Ken Show. 417 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 418 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 419 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: After three o'clock.

This is a really bizarre story. 424 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: There is a seven hundred and fifty foot tall building 425 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: in Manhattan called the Deutsche Bank Center, and a lot 426 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: of celebrities own or owned departments there, like Jiselle, Bunchin 427 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: and Jay Z.

I don't want this guy. 488 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, A pilot and inger management or anger issues. 489 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 3: Not a good mix. 490 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: See, there were six cars in line at each of 491 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: the three gates, and I guess it wasn't moving and 492 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: the and so Jones got his axe out and then 493 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: he whacked the lowered arm twenty three times. Twenty three times. 494 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: He whacked it until it fell off. Then an airport 495 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: worker runs up and tries to wrestle the acts away 496 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: from Jones. Then another employee comes and they finally disarm him, 497 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: and he gets arrested by police. He continued fighting everybody, 498 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: but they had taken the axe away. 499 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 6: Did he have the axe when he was flying the plane? 500 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: I don't know I would these days though, I. 501 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 3: Know, I know, but he's sound. It's a little uh 502 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 3: the way pepperamental. 503 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 504 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: Well, you know, you get frustrated because I leave parking lots, 505 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: parking garages, people don't know what to do to pay. 506 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 3: I get that, I get that. 507 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 6: I just don't think that I would take in it 508 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 6: First of all, I wouldn't be carrying an axe. 509 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 3: And second of all, I don't think i'd be that 510 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 3: pissed off that i'd be hitting something twenty three times 511 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 3: with an axe. 512 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: But that's just I don't think you could waive an axe. 513 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 3: Probably not, but that's beside the point. 514 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 2: I don't think you could pick it up. Now. 515 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: This guy's qualified to fly Boeing seven sixty sevens and 516 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: seven to fifty sevens. The thing is if he had 517 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: this mental breakdown moment while he's flying the plane exactly see, 518 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: but he said that they apparently they airport administrators admit 519 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: that there have been issues at the lot because a 520 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: lot of employees don't have the proper permits. So I 521 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: guess they don't have the card that opens the gate. 522 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 3: That's frustrating. 523 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: I get that sometimes you just want to take your 524 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: axe out, which is why you don't carry an ax 525 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: or a gun right exactly, because we'd all be shooting. 526 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 6: If I had a gun in my car. Let me 527 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 6: tell you I would, I'd be locked away from. 528 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: Good That's why I thought you'd identify with the story. 529 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 3: Yes, but I also don't fly planes. 530 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: John Lewin's coming on with us Deputy Dau and he's 531 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: had to work under Gascon Flash two and a half years, 532 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: and he's very blunt about what life has been like. 533 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: And he's going to talk about the smash and grab robberies. Hey, 534 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: they caught one guy in Glendale, but they already let 535 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: him go zero bail.
