Speaker 1: Alberto Carvallo.

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: He's the Los Angeles Unified School District superintendent and you

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: imagine you start your day and the FBI is breaking

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: into your house and into your office. He lives in

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: said Pedro. His office is in downtown LA and there's trouble.

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: But there hadn't been too many details as to why

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: there's trouble. The warrant is sealed. But let's talk to

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: Alex Stone see if he's got anything new. Alex, how

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: are you for maybe news?

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:01,319
Speaker 3: Hey?

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: John? Doing well?

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: So?

23
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been working this all day and we know

24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 4: that this is the case, even though it is sealed

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 4: by the courts and the US Attorney's office, Bell Sale's office.

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: He isn't saying a whole lot. They're saying nothing other

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: than that this was a court approved search warrant. That

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: this is according to a number of sources we've been

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 4: talking to today who have been briefed on the investigation,

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 4: that it is a white collar investigation. You know, immediately

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: there are questions of is this immigration related? Is it

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: something else? Because he has been so outspoken against the

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 4: immigration operations in southern California, And we are told no,

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: that this is a white callar likely a financial crime.

35
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: It appears linked to something it looks like from his

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: time or his connections in Florida. There was a home

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: that was rated today in Miami as well in the

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: Miami area. But a lot of what went on today

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: in San Pedro and in downtown La answers to what

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: this was. The lack force really spoke to that this

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: is not an investigation into a violent crime or something

42
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: like that. This wasn't the swat team coming in in

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 4: bearcats and knocking down the front door. This is more

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: FBI agents in what they call the raid jackets. Those

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 4: blue jackets with FBI written in yellow on the back,

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 4: going in and grabbing a couple of things and then

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: getting out of there. They weren't there for very long.

48
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 4: We just confirmed a moment ago nobody was arrested. Some

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: neighbors said they saw somebody in handcuffs, but we are

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 4: told that the FBI did not arrest anybody. They went

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: in quickly got whatever was on that search warrant, and

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: they came out with some boxes and then some other things.

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 4: Looked like they were probably going after records or electronic devices,

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: and then they got out of there. And then they

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: did the same thing at la Ust headquarters downtown, right

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: up the freeway. So this is not it was the FBI.

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: It was not onland security investigations or ice or anything

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: like that. Nothing to do with immigration enforcement. But now

59
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: the investigation into whatever this white collar alleged white collar

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: crime is. We'll move forward based on the evidence that

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: they've got that it appears that they are investigating. They

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: didn't make any arrest today. We don't know if it

63
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: will come, if there even will be an arrest, but

64
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 4: if there is, if it will be sooner way down

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: the road. As they're investigating. But it was here and

66
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: in Miami, where the searches were done today.

67
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Miami, he had a problem because he had

68
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: some kind of foundation and he got a donation from

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: an educational company which also then they got a contract

70
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: with the school district that Carvalla was overseeing, and they

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: decided that it had the appearance of a conflict of interest,

72
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: but it wasn't an actual conflict of interest. So is

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: it that incident that story that's connected today or we

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: don't know.

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 4: It doesn't look like it. That one was cleared back

76
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: a while ago, and there have been lawsuits or at

77
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: least one lawsuit against him to LAUSD as well, and

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: it looks like that this might be something else connected

79
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: to somebody in Florida and it will come out over time.

80
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: And there's already some indications and maybe linked to a

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: company that went defunct in Florida. But we've got a contract.

82
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: All of that is still a little bit murky based

83
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 4: on what different people in law enforcement and in the

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 4: prosecution world what they have been hearing that this may be.

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: But at this point LAUSD says that they have no

86
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: comment other than that they're cooperating with law enforcement. We

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 4: haven't heard anything from Carvallo. Mayor Bass's office said, well,

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: la USD is a totally independent entity and has nothing

89
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: to do with the city, I mean very much, saying

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: we have nothing to do with that and don't come

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: to the city looking for answers as to what's going on.

92
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: And yeah, the city has had its own issues. You

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 4: think of all the city council members who have had

94
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: the I come into city Hall and look through their

95
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 4: things and dealt with different probes that have gone on.

96
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: So you can have a warden with all the la

97
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: City council people in jail.

98
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 4: Well, and the city can say that the LAUSD is

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: not connected to the city, but there is that connection.

100
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: So what this is we don't know. It doesn't seem

101
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 4: like it's connected at all of what's been going on

102
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 4: at city Hall. But this is another incident where it

103
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: looks like, whether you want to call him a city

104
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: official or a public figure connected to the city and

105
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: the city school system, that he is now being investigated.

106
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: He's not in custody, but he is being investigated.

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: So he personally is being investigated. It's not just that

108
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: he's connected somehow to the Miami situation and they're just

109
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: looking for records from him or maybe some testimony that

110
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: he might be a target of this investigation.

111
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we understand from sources of the yes, he is

112
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: a target of this investigation. That that is why they

113
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 4: were at his home today, That's why they were in

114
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 4: his office. That he's not just well, maybe he knew

115
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: something that allegedly whatever they're looking at it. Maybe when

116
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 4: they look at the evidence, they're going to find that

117
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 4: he wasn't involved in whatever they believe he might have

118
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: been involved in. And that's not to say that they're

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 4: going to be charges and maybe prosecutors will say there's

120
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: not enough there, but that they are investigating him right

121
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: now in some kind of a white collar investigation, likely

122
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,119
Speaker 4: a financial crime, but being white collar.

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: And why is it under seal? Is there any significance

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: that the Feds want to keep this a secret for now?

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 4: No, it's pretty typical in a high profile investigation. And

126
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 4: clearly he is a well known name, and that there

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 4: are a lot of things. I mean, think of the

128
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: Singer David investigation that's under seal. That's not federal, but

129
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 4: that's under seal as well. So many of these cases

130
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 4: are under seal. And then at some point the seal

131
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: goes away, and we learn a lot more. Especially in

132
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: the federal system, we get a full complaint that we

133
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: don't typically get in the state system, that will lay

134
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: it all out. But as they are investigating, oftentimes the

135
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 4: FBI or the US Attorney's Office or whatever agency it's

136
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 4: going to be that as are looking into, they don't

137
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: want us all out there giving every detail of the

138
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: case and letting witnesses know that what they're doing and

139
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: where they may be going next and that sort of thing.

140
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 4: So they've got it under sealed. They got a court

141
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: to seal it, and at this point it makes it

142
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: illegal for anybody to release information on all.

143
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Right, So he's just going to go back to work tomorrow.

144
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: We don't know because he's not talking. His home didn't

145
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 4: look all that active as the FBI agents for going

146
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: in and out, So maybe he'll be around, maybe he won't.

147
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: The LAUSD isn't saying. We haven't heard from him today.

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: All right, very good, Alex. We'll talk to you later

149
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: if there's anything.

150
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: More you gotta tell us.

151
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: Good Thanks John, Alex Stone, ABC News and the raid

152
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: on Alberto Carvallo's home in office. He is the superintendent

153
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: of the Los Angeles Unified School District. When we come back,

154
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: we'll go through the scandal he was involved in in Miami,

155
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: which may not have anything to do with this particular scandal,

156
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: and they are doing raids in Miami as well well.

157
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: And his whole life has kind of been a scandal

158
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: because he came here as an illegal alien. Only in

159
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: Los Angeles could he end up coming to America as

160
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: an illegal alien. He ended up running the whole school district.

161
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: And he also is involved in a romantic scandal in Florida.

162
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: So this is not the most honest guy in the

163
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: world to begin with, So tell you all about.

164
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: It when we come back.

00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 2: four thousand in a very short period of times, so

178
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: thank you.

179
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: We put up videos a few times a week now.

180
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: Albert Carvallo, he probably haven't heard much about him, because really,

181
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: if you have, if you have, I try to be

182
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: kind here, but nobody really wants to send their kids

183
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Public School District. Okay, nobody does.

184
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: With the exception of a few pockets. Most of the

185
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: schools are garbage, they really are. And the number of

186
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: students enrolled has dropped by over half. I think they

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: were in the seven hundred thousand range twenty years ago

188
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: or so, and now it's down to three hundred and

189
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: ninety thousand because even poor people don't want to go

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: to the school system. Even the illegal alien families are

191
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: fleeing the school sits because it's a disaster, and there's

192
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: so much bs, there's so much nonsense. I look in

193
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: the La Times and they have a couple of stories

194
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: about Alberto Carvallo, and one of them is Alberto Carvallo

195
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: a rising star in education. Yeah, and then there's you

196
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: know what, you know what? All right, Let me start

197
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: with that, the rising star in education. You want to

198
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: hear the test results. These are the California Assessment of

199
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: Student Performance and Progress, Okay, and they test all the

200
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: students in the state to see whether they know English

201
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: and they know math. That's the two basics. You graduate

202
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: high school and you are proficient in English and your

203
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: profession in math. That opens up a lot of jobs

204
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: for you. Okay, that's that's like baseline. Got to know

205
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: how to read, got to know how to add.

206
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: And subtract well.

207
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: In the Los Angeles Unified School District, believe it or not,

208
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: and you will believe this. In the Los Angeles Unified

209
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: School District, fifty four percent of the students are not

210
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: proficient at reading.

211
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: On their grade level. Fifty four not more than half

212
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: of the students. Wow.

213
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: And then if you go to math, sixty four percent

214
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: of the students are not proficient at their grade level math.

215
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: So they have almost two thirds of the students not

216
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: proficient at math and about fifty five percent of the

217
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: students not proficient at reading. So tell me again, how

218
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: is Alberto Carvallo a rising star? Imagine being in a classroom.

219
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: Go back to when you were in school, Imagine being

220
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: in a classroom where more than half the kids couldn't

221
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: read and more than two thirds of the kids couldn't

222
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 2: do basic math. Imagine what that's like. Imagine how slow

223
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: class would be, how bogged down it would be because

224
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: you have so many kids who don't don't know anything

225
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 2: and apparently are not teachable. A lot of them don't

226
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: speak English. Why would you go to a school like that.

227
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't go to a school like that. I'd run

228
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: away from home. I wouldn't want my kids to go

229
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: to a school like that. In fact, I didn't, and

230
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: that's why I had to pay a fortune for private schools,

231
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: which I resent paying that fortune because my taxes should

232
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: have taken care of these matters. And then, you know,

233
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: the final blaw was seeing all these crazy, lunatic teachers

234
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: screaming for a year and a half that they can't

235
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: go to work because of COVID, when there was a

236
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: scientific evidence from the floor to the ceiling that showed

237
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: that kids don't get COVID very much and they don't

238
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: spread it. It's very very low percentages. And still these

239
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: these union, I mean, the teachers in the teachers' union

240
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: are just so freaking lazy. They're always looking for excuse

241
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: not to show up, and even when they show up,

242
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: they obviously don't do much. So I don't know about this.

243
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Alberto Carvallo a rising star, you know, of course, over

244
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: the years he gets all kinds of an awards, all

245
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: kinds of awards, even something from Obama. But then you

246
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: imagine if you ran a company and two thirds of

247
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: the time your product broke. You imagine if you ran

248
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: a restaurant and two thirds of the time people hated

249
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: your meals. But apparently in school, you could run a

250
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: school district where two thirds of the kids can't do math,

251
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: fifty five percent can't do reading, and you get an

252
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: award for it, and you're regarded as a rising star.

253
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: What a load of nonsense. Now here's the other side

254
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: of Alberto Carvallo. And if you're just joining us, you're wondering,

255
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: what the hell are you talking about this guy? Well,

256
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: because his house got raided in San Pedro today and

257
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: his office got raided. He's the superintendent of val at

258
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: schools and the FBI raided the office. And there's some

259
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: federal warrant that a judge signed that nobody wants to

260
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: talk about.

261
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so.

262
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: It said pedro. The house gets broken into, and one

263
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: neighbor says he looked out the window and he saw

264
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: two cars in the street and a federal agent in

265
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: tactical gear pointing a rifle towards the superintendent's house. And

266
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: this neighbor said he didn't like the way the operation

267
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: was carried out because of the firearms. I really think

268
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: they wanted eyes on this. It bugged me, you know,

269
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: I noticed, like people are such whissies. When the FBI

270
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: does rayed, they're gonna be arms because let's say the

271
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: charges are really bad, and if the target is getting convicted,

272
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: he's going to prison for life, so he's looking for

273
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: the rest of his life to be stuck in a

274
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: prison where he's going to get sexually assaulted every day.

275
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: So they could be pretty desperate, and they might have

276
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: a gun. And you know, it's not unheard of that

277
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: somebody who's a target of an investigation and they know

278
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: they're guilty, they're so terrified they come out firing.

279
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: That's why I love these people. Oh what did't they

280
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: have to show guns? Why did they have to Why

281
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: do they have to break down the door?

282
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: Because they don't know what they're dealing with, okay, And

283
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: a lot of bad stuff has happened when he had

284
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: bad guys who are that desperate?

285
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Who knows what they're gonna do.

286
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: Anyway, going back to Carvallo, he used to run the

287
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: Miami Dade County Public School System, and the Inspector General

288
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: investigated him. In twenty twenty, Carvallo had helped solicit a

289
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: million and a half dollar donation from an online instruction company.

290
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: Oh you know what are about? And that million and a.

291
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: Half dollar donation was going to a foundation that Carvallo

292
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: is in charge of.

293
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh, what do you know?

294
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: And at the same time, the company had a contract

295
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: pending with the district. Now let's let's let's go through

296
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: this again. He's head of the Miami school System. He's

297
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: got a foundation, private foundation. He takes money from a

298
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: company that has a contract pending with the school district

299
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: and suddenly they agreed to donate a million and a

300
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: half dollars to his foundation. Wow, probably one of those nonprofits. Oh,

301
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: Carvallo probably gives himself a salary from the nonprofit in

302
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: addition to the salary that he gets from the Miami

303
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: Public School System. Nothing to see here, and then the

304
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: Inspector General decided, well, maybe it wasn't ant of interest,

305
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: but it certainly was the appearance of a conflict of interest.

306
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh okay.

307
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 2: Now, the company eventually hired this online UH firm, but

308
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: they're there their their instruction platform was mired in problems

309
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: and they had to quickly scrap the project. Oh okay,

310
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: So it was a non It was one of those

311
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: nonsense online companies that sprung up around COVID, which actually

312
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: was of no use. The donation was supposed to benefit teachers,

313
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 2: uh and eventually the foundation distributed the money in one

314
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: hundred dollars gift certificates the teachers. Well that sounds pretty shade,

315
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: he doesn't it. But wait there, there, there's more. He

316
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: also had an affair with an education reporter back in

317
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. How about that some reporter comes

318
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: to interview him and he ends up he ends up

319
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: betting her down. Yeah, I got to find that name

320
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: of this reporter. This happens a lot, by the way.

321
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 2: Oh yes, romantic relationship with Tanya de Luizaga, a former

322
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: Miami Herald education reporter. Carvalla was married. So Cavla is

323
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: married and he's screwing a reporter from the Miami Herald

324
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: who's covering education. I'll she covered education really well, right

325
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: from the inside out.

326
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 1: So that's this guy. Okay, he's got a scandal in Miami.

327
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: Oh and I forgot the best part, the best part.

328
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: Now you're gonna have to wait. I'm out of time.

329
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: Debra's in the way. Now it's coming to my conclusion.

330
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: I know, but you're late.

331
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you're listening to John Cobel's on demand

332
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 3: from KFI AM six.

333
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: Forty on from three to six every day and then

334
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: after six o'clock podcast John corbelt Show on demand, so

335
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: you could hear what you missed.

336
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: All right.

337
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: Alberto Carvallo is the superintendent of the Los Angeles School District,

338
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: at least for now. He had his home raided by

339
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: the FBI, in his office downtown LA raided by the FBI.

340
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: And this guy has a fairly dirty passed. In fact,

341
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't even fit it into one segment. I thought

342
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: I could, and we told you got investigated in Miami

343
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: because he was he had his own foundation and he

344
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: was taking money for the foundation from a company that

345
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: had a contract to pending with the Miami school District.

346
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: He also, while he was married, had an affair with

347
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: a Miami a Miami Herald education reporter. But wait, there's more.

348
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: He was an illegal alien. Yes, he was an illegal alien,

349
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: only in America.

350
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: Right.

351
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: He came to the US at age seventeen on a

352
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: tourist visa and he got here and he decided he

353
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: decided to stay, and his visa.

354
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: Expired, and so he was here illegally.

355
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: Now this is not just like a paperwork oversight, where

356
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: you know it was a couple of weeks. No, he

357
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: intentionally was an illegal alien for three years.

358
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: And he didn't even know English, and he.

359
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: Just took low wage jobs washing dishes and delivering pizzas.

360
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: And he's talked about how afraid he was and how

361
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: unstable his life was. Well, that's what happens when you're

362
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: in a country illegally. You try this in all the

363
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: other nations of the world and you'll see it's similar

364
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: except here. Eventually, you know, people will spend decades getting

365
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: away with it. So let's review. He had no trouble

366
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: cheating on his wife and having an affair with a

367
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: news reporter who's covering him. Right, he's got no trouble

368
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: living in this country for three years legally. Any but

369
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: he with a half brained would tell you, gee, you

370
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: shouldn't be taking a donation for your foundation from a

371
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: company that's doing business with the school district.

372
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: You run right.

373
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: He finally got legal permanent residency because Reagan had this

374
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: law that he signed in the nineteen eighties and nineteen

375
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 2: eighty six. He got legal status because they provided a

376
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: pathway to citizenship for certain illegal aliens. So he got

377
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: a lucky break that they passed that bill while he

378
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: was wandering around illegally. So of course he becomes the

379
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: head of the Los Angeles Unified School District and he's

380
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: been screaming bloody murder about ice ever since Trump took over. Okay,

381
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: he's constantly popping off, shooting off his mouth because there's

382
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: a lot of illegal aliens in the LA School District,

383
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 2: which we all have to pay for. I don't know

384
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: why that's fair. That's why with people go well, just

385
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: go to the criminals. I mean, why would you go

386
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: after just regular people? Because they're costing us billions of dollars.

387
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: That's why tens of billions of dollars in the state

388
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: of California goes to illegal illegal alien services, medical help, schooling,

389
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 2: and we're broke and our taxes are really high. So

390
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: that's why. Okay, in case you find out here anybody

391
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: asking that question, where are we going to? That's why

392
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: because there's something criminal about that, something criminal about all

393
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: our collective tax money being looted by the billions by

394
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: people who have no business being here.

395
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: But hey, you know what, that's just me now. It

396
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: looks like this.

397
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: And if he hadn't heard, you know, he got raided today.

398
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: His house and his and his at his office got raided.

399
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: Alberta C. Carvallo and everybody's wondering, well, what is this?

400
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: What is this um occurring to the La Times might

401
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: be connected to here. This is another case. A company

402
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: called all Here. They created a chatbot, a chatbot for

403
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: the school district. Joanna Smith hyphen Griffin Beware of the

404
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: hyphenated people. She's founder and former chief executive of all Here.

405
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: She was arrested in twenty twenty four in charge with

406
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: securities fraud, wire fraud, and aggravated identity theft.

407
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: The chatbot was known as ed At the Chatbot.

408
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: They withdrew it from service, though it was artificial intelligence.

409
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: It was sold as revolutionary for students' education. The tool

410
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: was never fully deployed. Another bust. So the company in

411
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: Miami that gave Carvallo this million and a half dollars

412
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: donation to his foundation at a contract with the Miami

413
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: Public School District for an online service, that was a bust.

414
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: And now Here in La he does a deal with

415
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: ed the chatbot and that turns out to be a bust,

416
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: and Joanna Smith Griffin ended up getting arrested and Carvallos

417
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: said at the time that the indictment and the allegations

418
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: of this case, if true, it's a disturbing and disappointing

419
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 2: house of cards that deceived and victimized many across the country.

420
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: So he was deceived and victimized. Hmm, Well, usually the

421
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: people who are victims don't have the FBI raiding their

422
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 2: house and raiding their office the indict According to La Times,

423
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: the indictment and collapse of all Here was an embarrassment

424
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 2: for Carvallo. But now a former senior executive at all

425
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: Here accused the company of inadequate security measures. But nobody

426
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: knows if that had any effec on students or employee

427
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 2: data and all here also had a contract with Miami

428
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: Dade School System. So as soon as he got here,

429
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: well shortly after he got here, he became an illegal alien.

430
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: And it took for three years. He didn't do anything

431
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: about it, and he didn't go back home. He didn't

432
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: he didn't legalize himself. He got bailed out by a

433
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: congressional law that they passed, and then he starts working

434
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: his way up the ladder in educational circles, and he's

435
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: gotten all kinds of awards, but you look at his

436
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: performance and if you've got two thirds of the kids

437
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: in the LA School District can't do math and fifty

438
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: five percent can't do reading at their grade level, what's

439
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: the point. What's the point of all the education and

440
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: the inspiring story and all the awards and all the

441
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: headlines and all the scandals. It's like, bottom line is,

442
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: there's kids graduating by the hundreds of thousands out of

443
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: the LA School District who can't read at grade level

444
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: and can't do math at grade level. That's job one,

445
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: Job one when kids graduate, gotta read, gotta do math.

446
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure they are probably very fluent in all kinds

447
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: of DEI garbage. But hey, he's a rising star, says

448
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: The La Times. Rising star. Almost every day. We're getting

449
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: these stories almost every day. We got more coming up

450
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: after four o'clock. Oh yeah, we got to delve into

451
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: this case. This serial child molester has gotten parole. And

452
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: guess who signed the law They let a serial child

453
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: molester out early, Gavin Newsom, you're a buddy.

454

Speaker 2: prosecutor in the case of David Allen Funston. Amory Schubert

458
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 2: also became the Sacramento County DA and when she was

459
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: a prosecutor. This is going back to the nineteen nineties.

460
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: David Allen Funston was convicted and sentenced to serving three

461

Speaker 2: life terms for kidnapping, raping, and sexually abusing eight children

462

Speaker 2: was convicted three life terms, eight children, kidnap, raped, and

505
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: sexual abuse, and Gavin Newsom writes a law that allows

506
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: him to go free. Now did this show up? What

507
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:52,600

00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:52,800

513
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,959

514
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: is that she could barely breathe.

515
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,480

517
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,880

Speaker 1: Well, you know, Vanity fair Is. It's about Vanity. Yeah,
