This story just popped up. 61 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: A man arrested in the slang of a homeless person 62 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: in Pacoima was released from prison last year after serving 63 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: just eight years of a life sentence for a double 64 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: murder because George Gascon refused to transfer his case from 65 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: juvenile to adult court. The person we're talking about is 66 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: named Victor Bibiano. He's now thirty years old. They have 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: arrested him for the killing in April of a forty 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: two year old man by the name of Mario Rodriguez, 69 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: who was found shot at a homeless encampment. As I 70 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: mentioned in Pacoima, apparently there was some sort of a 71 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: drug deal in a robbery that went awry. Now, Bibiano 72 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: was seventeen when he and two co defendants were convicted 73 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: in an adult court back in twenty twelve, and the 74 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: killing of two rival Pacoima gang members and the wounding 75 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: of a third back in two thousand and nine, so 76 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: he did get life without the possibility of parole. Special 77 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: circumstance of double murder, attempted murder, shooting a gun that 78 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: had inhabited dwelling. All of these kinds of enhancements led 79 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: to his long prison sentence. But along came Prop fifty seven, 80 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: and that's where we're going to talk about now. Under 81 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: Prop fifty seven, all minors convicted in an adult court 82 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: must get a transfer hearing in juvenile court to figure 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: out if they should be tried again as an adult. 84 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: Under Gascon's directives, that didn't happen, and Bibiana was too 85 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: old to go to any kind of juvenile facility, so 86 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: he was released. We're going to talk to Kathy Katie. 87 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Kathy Katie has represented many victims and victims families, particularly 88 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: in this Gascone era. She's been very busy and has 89 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: done tireless work on behalf of victims. And she can 90 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: tell us more about this case because she represented one 91 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: of the murder victims families. Kathy, welcome back to the show. Oh, 92 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: thank you so much for having me, and thank you 93 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: for your continued coverage of this really really important issue. Well, 94 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: I want to thank you for all the work that 95 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: you have done. I mean, we've talked to you numerous 96 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: times already, and it's tireless how much you're doing on 97 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: behalf of people. And it's just sad that not only 98 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: would you have to battle people like defense attorneys. You 99 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: have to battle the La County DA and his policies, right, 100 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened in the Bibiano case. So 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: Babiano and others, as you said, we're condicted of you know, 102 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: it was a gang execution, and I wanted to just 103 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: correct one thing said. It was of one gang member, 104 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: but the other person who was murdered was not a 105 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: gang member at all. They were just in the wrong 106 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: place at the wrong time, as you will. And so 107 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: two people lost their lives and another person was shot 108 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: and sidually injured. And Babiano was sentenced and he was 109 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: convicted by a jury. He was sentenced to life, and 110 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: along came up fifty seven and so the case was 111 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: sent back for a retroactive transfer. Hearing it before everyone's 112 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: eyes glass over what that means. All it means is 113 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: that the court was supposed to decide should the conviction 114 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: sort of live in dom a court or should it 115 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: go back up to criminal court and then the sentence 116 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: be reimposed. But because of Gaspon and his youth direct 117 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: gives blanket policy, which was being implemented by Elissa Blair 118 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: at that time, she personally came in and told the 119 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: judge that no, the ba's office did not want to 120 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: even look at the facts of the case. It's a 121 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: blanket policy. We weren't going to look at dangerousness or 122 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: how Badiano had gone in custody or like that. No 123 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: blanket policy, and they would not do a transfer hearing. 124 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: So Bideona was released, and within a few months he 125 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: actually committed another crime which he didn't even mention, which 126 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: is a misdemeanor domestic violence crime. He was convicted of 127 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: a misdemeanor domestic violence crime within a couple of months. 128 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: And then, as he said, in April of this year, 129 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: he was involved in no charge with the murder of 130 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: Mario Rodriquez. But again, even though this is a third 131 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: murder essentially that he's now charged with, there's no special circumstances, 132 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: there's change, there's no gang elevations and are being charged. So, 133 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, Gascon wants to talk about data and science. Well, 134 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: what we know is that this particular case that you're 135 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: highlighting today, this is the fourth specific murder that we 136 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: know is caused because of Gascon's policies. You know, the 137 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: other two were, of course police officer Santana and Horble 138 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: paratus from El Monte, and they unfortunately were murdered because 139 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: of Gascon's enhancement and allegations policy, which didn't allow prosecutors 140 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: to proceed on a strike allegation, so the defendant was 141 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: allowed to get out instead of serving for the two 142 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: months which he should have been doing at a minimum, 143 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: he was allowed to get out early and unfortunately then 144 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: went to murder two police officers. And then there was 145 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: another case earlier this year, Alajandro Garcia, who was murdered 146 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: in January, and that was because of Gascon's pre to 147 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: our release in bail policy where that defendant had two 148 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: pending felony cases, one of x fell in with a 149 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: gun and one of drug sales. But because of Gascon's policies, 150 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: prosecutors were not allowed to ask for, you know, the 151 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: bail to keep him in and so she stayed out 152 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: of custody and murdered Alejandro Garcia. We know of four 153 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: murders where Gascon has blood on his hands, So just 154 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: a year and a half of this guy, four murders. 155 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, paths are the ones we 156 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: know about. They are the ones we know about. In 157 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: the Bibiano case, apparently it says in the news story 158 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: and this came from you, that there's some sort of 159 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: a memo from something called the Ritz and Appeals Division 160 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: of the DA's offices. It states the law requires the 161 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: court has to conduct a transfer hearing, but it was 162 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: Gascon's directives. It said, no such hearing is going to 163 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: take place right Well, actually it's worse than that. So 164 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: there was another case where, you know, the RITZ and 165 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: Appeals Division, which is made up of amazing attorneys who 166 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: are brilliant, and they came out with the opinion that 167 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: Gascon needed to follow the order from the part of 168 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: appeal saying you need to do a transfer hearing. But 169 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: not only did Gascon and the administration not follow it, 170 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: they tried to cover it up. Actually they wouldn't even 171 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: turn it over to the prosecutors who were handling these 172 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: types of cases. They tried to hide. So not only 173 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: would they not follow the incredible wisdom of the people 174 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: in rich appeals, but they also try to not allow 175 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: the profigen is actually handling these cases. You even know 176 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: about that memo, so you know, once again, for an 177 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: administration that says they want to be transparent and follow 178 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: data and science, you know, he's an epic failure. He's 179 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: a horrible manager. The people who work for him have 180 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: no confidence in him. We now have thirty five cities 181 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: in county that have voted no confidence in him. But 182 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: I want to just end by saying we can talk 183 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: about how horribly he is and how many people he's 184 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: harmed all day long, and unless we get into signatures 185 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: and we get this on the ballot, he will stay 186 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: an office. So I urge all of your listeners please 187 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: get the petition, sign the petition, turned the petition in. 188 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: We have to turn in all the signatures by July sixth, 189 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: which means we have to have the signatures to be 190 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: able to prepare them. I mean, this is an over 191 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: half a million matures and petitions that we have to organize, 192 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: and so that takes time. So we really need everything 193 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: as soon as possible. So please please have the petition 194 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: to sign it, turn it in, and don't wait so 195 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: that we can finally restore public safety and making sure 196 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: that our truths are safe to Los Angeles Channel. All right, Kathy, 197 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: thanks for talking to me once again, and again thanks 198 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: for all your work. Who are you representing in the 199 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: Bibiano case? This is one of the victims families from 200 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: the shooting. Right, Yes, one of the victims' names Javi here, 201 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: and I was representing his family in that and I 202 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: can tell you that they, as all families, have been 203 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: absolutely devastated by what Gascon has done by his you know, 204 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: he won't listen to them, he doesn't care about them, 205 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: He is not respecting their rights. He's walking all over them, 206 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: and he's doing it because of his whatever goal of 207 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: trying to make sure that we let people out of 208 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: prison and out of jail. And as we now have seen, 209 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: we have four people who's been murdered because of his actions. 210 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: All Right, we appreciate talking to you. We'll talk to 211 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: you again soon. Thanks, Thank you so much. All Right. 212 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: That's Attorney Kathy Katie, who devotes a big part of 213 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: her life to representing victims and families of victims, especially 214 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: in cases involving the non existent criminal justice system under 215 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: La County District Attorney George Gascone. This latest case, apparently 216 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: a homeless man was killed by a man who, under 217 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: Gascone's policies, was released last year from any kind of custody. 218 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: This is one of those juvenile things again because when 219 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: he was involved in a gang killing years ago. Of course, 220 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: he's under eighteen and we have to go easy on 221 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: people under eighteen. They had an opportunity under Prop fifty 222 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: seven to still take it back and put it back 223 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: at adult court, but Gascone would have none of it, 224 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: and his representative just went there and said, Nope, we're 225 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: not interested in trying to transfer this back to adult court. 226 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: We still want to treat him as a juvenile. We 227 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: want a sentence cut, and it was and he was 228 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: released and he went and killed a homeless man. More 229 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: coming up on the John and Ken Show, including the 230 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: Last Chance today for your chance at a thousand dollars 231 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: with the keyword. I'll be talking a couple of things 232 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: after five thirty with a state legislator. One of them 233 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: is a bizarre bill that's made its way to Gavin 234 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: Newsom's desk which will take away a tool that police 235 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: have for going after those who are involved in sex 236 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: trafficking prostitution. This deals with loitering. It's a little bizarre, 237 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: but apparently it was passed by the legislature and it 238 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: would end that possibility of using loitering as a means 239 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: to stop prostitution. Efforts, particularly we're involved sex trafficking, and 240 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk of course about gas tax relief or gas 241 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: price relief. It's coming up after the news at five. 242 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: We just got done talking to Kathy Katie. Kathy used 243 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,479 Speaker 1: to work in the only county district attorney's office. She's retired, 244 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: but she's spending a lot of time working for free 245 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: for victims and victims families, and she's never been more 246 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: busy since George guests going became da because we don't 247 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: have anybody representing victims and victims families and this latest 248 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: case was and a lot of them involving gascon had 249 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: been with juveniles. He just believes, and he's explained this. 250 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: If you believe his crazy theories that you know, especially 251 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: a male, if you're under the age of twenty five, 252 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: you haven't matured. Well, that may be true, but that 253 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: could be just about being responsible and getting a job 254 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: and having a family and taking life more seriously. But 255 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: he extended all the way to people who are or murderers. 256 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: It's really weird. So this guy was seventeen when he 257 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: was involved in gang murders, took the lives of a 258 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: couple of people, and he's sentenced to a long term 259 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: thanks to sentencing enhancements, it gets cut and then under 260 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: Prop fifty seven, because he was convicted as a juvenile 261 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: in adult court, to go back and do what they 262 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: call a transfer hearing to determine again if he should 263 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: be tried as an adult or to just treat him 264 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: as a juvenile, Well, Gascon would have none of that. 265 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: He's got these cronies that he brought into the DA's office. 266 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: They're basically some of them are public defenders or activists, 267 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: as Lisa Blair, she personally appeared in juvenile court and 268 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: told the judge that the DA's office will not participate 269 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: in any transfer hearings. So that ended it. That ended it, 270 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: and that eventually led to the release of Bibiano, and 271 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: Bibiano went out and he's now accused of killing a 272 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: homeless man at an encampment in Pacoima. Gascon yesterday, at 273 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: this bizarre press conference, is now trying this tactic that 274 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: we can't predict the future and these people, as far 275 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: as I know, are non violent. I think he's even 276 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: saying that, Well, Bibiano didn't actually hold the trigger in 277 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: the gang related killing from when he was seventeen years old. 278 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: But it's clear and J heard Kathy Katie tell us 279 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: he was actually arrested again after his release before he 280 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: killed this homeless guy, that he's not changed. This was 281 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: the idea behind three strikes, This is the idea behind 282 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: sentencing enhancements. These are bad people and unless George gascon 283 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: it is kind can come up with these remarkable rehabilitation 284 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: programs that makes them all kind, brilliant, loving citizens, we 285 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: can't take this risk. And what's happening is Gascone is 286 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: releasing these people on a large scale. He's passing on 287 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: prosecutions which will result in long prison sentences. He's looking 288 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: for ways to release people that have had long prison sentences. 289 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: He's looking for in case of the juvenile justice system, 290 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: any way he can to forgive anybody for even the 291 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: most heinous of crime because they were under eighteen. I 292 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: mean everything cycles And we saw this back in the 293 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: seventies and eighties. We had some vicious crimes carried out 294 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: by seventeen year olds and we just decided, you know, 295 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: why should eighteen be the barrier. These people killed like 296 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 1: a depraved adult, they should be tried like a depraved adult. 297 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: And here we are cycling back where we now have 298 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: a district attorney. Although I gotta tell you yesterday at 299 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: that news conference listening to him, he was shaky. He 300 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: knows that the wagons are circling around him. We can 301 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: just get enough signatures. He's going out the door because 302 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: people are finding out. You just heard Kathy Katie say 303 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: we know of four murders. Now the two police officers 304 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: in Elmani, the off duty LA police officer, and now 305 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: this homeless guy at the encampment Paquoima, who have been 306 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: murdered by people that benefited from Gascon's policies. Four people. 307 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: This got to be even more I was saying this 308 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: yesterday we learned in the case of Justin Flores, who 309 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: got a light sentence for having a gun and he 310 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: was on probation as a convicted felon a one striker, 311 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: that he got that light sentence. How many times has 312 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: Gascone done this? And these people are out there recommitting crimes, 313 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: and I certainly hope the media turns over every stone 314 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: because if it's involved in something really serious like a 315 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: sex assault or a murder, we find out that it's 316 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: just another person who benefited from gascone. All right, I 317 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: got more coming up on the John and Ken Show 318 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: here on K five.

Joe Biden 336 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: today is calling for a federal gas tax suspension for 337 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: three months, and it works out to about eighteen cents 338 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: a gallon. It's not expected to really go anywhere in Congress, 339 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: but he had to say something and do something because 340 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: people are angry about high gas prices. California, We've been 341 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: angry for years, but the rest of the country, with 342 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: their five dollars they're paying, are catching up. We'll start 343 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: with that, and we'll talk about another bill on Gavin 344 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: Newsom's desk, dealing with the loitering, which is bizarre. Senator Jones, 345 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Johnny Ken Show. A good evening. Thanks 346 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: for having me. I appreciate you, guys. I listened to 347 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: you every time I'm driving through LA. All right, yeah, 348 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: you're down in the San Diego area, right, yep. All right. 349 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: Let's talk first about the call for a federal gas 350 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: tax suspension, and of course Biden put in there a 351 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: call for states to suspend the state gas tax. So 352 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: how do you what do you make of all that? Well, 353 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: it's a good news, I think for commuters and Americans, 354 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: you know, the Republicans in Sacramento a year ago. It's 355 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: this week is the one year anniversary of our original 356 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: proposal to suspend the gas tax in California. And I 357 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: think gas has only gone up, you know, two bucks 358 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: a gallon since this time last year, maybe more more. 359 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 1: And Californians have been Californias have been getting, you know, 360 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: for lack of Belgium hose at the gas pumps. A 361 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: hundred days ago, Gavin Newsom came out on in the 362 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: press and on a press conference on TV and the 363 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: papers and everything in said we're going to give gas 364 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: price relief to Californians. And in the last one hundred 365 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: days we've had crickets from the governor or the Democratic 366 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: leaders in Sacramento on the price of gas in California. Yeah, 367 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: what he promised was, I remember is a speech back 368 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: in January, why don't we not let the gas tax 369 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: go up un July first? We can these give people 370 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: that kind of relief, even that idea is dead. Yeah, yeah, 371 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: that was That was the main point of his press 372 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: conference at that time. And then he also suggested that 373 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: he might come up with a rebate program. And you know, 374 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: I will tell you it doesn't take you know, the 375 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: normal legislative process takes a couple of weeks or months 376 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: to get a bill pass, but the legislature when there's 377 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: an urgency need and the emergency need, we can pass 378 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: bills in less than a week, and we already did 379 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: that this year when cal Berkeley needed a secret exemption 380 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: for their student housing. Now, I hardly would equate student 381 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: housing as the same urgent need as gas price relief 382 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: for all Californias, but we passed that bill in less 383 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: than three days, the governor signing it went effect immediately. 384 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: We could do the same thing with the gas tax. 385 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: We've been saying this for a year. We did a 386 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: big press conference last week on one hundred today anniversary 387 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: of Governor Newsom announcing he was going to do something 388 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: on gas taxes, and still we have not seen a 389 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: bill proposed. We haven't had any conversation from any of 390 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: my colleagues, nor has the governor introduced the language to 391 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: get us to somewhere. Now, isn't the truth that up 392 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: in Sacramento and Newsom's office, they really don't want to 393 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: give any relief to high gas prices because ultimately they 394 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: don't want you driving gas powered cars as much. In fact, 395 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: they're banning the sale of gas powered cars new cars 396 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: coming up in about fifteen years from now. So I mean, 397 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: honestly and The problem is Biden could face some blowback 398 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: at the polls this November because all these states with 399 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 1: high gas prices could vote out Democrats. But California, they're 400 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: they're kind of Vito proof exactly. And you know that's 401 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: the sad thing, is it, not only the Vito proof, 402 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: but their conversation proof. At this point in time, we 403 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: can't even get the Democrats in committee to have a 404 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: conversation about the gas taxes. I don't know if if 405 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: you remember, several weeks ago, Kevin Tyley, the assembly member 406 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: from Sacramento, had a bill in committee to lower the 407 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: gas tax. The Democrats on that committee hijacked his bill, 408 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: gut admitted it to add a gas tax increase. Yeah, 409 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: and I all voted for it, and then the Republicans 410 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: obviously didn't vote for it, right, I do remember that story. 411 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: That's how arrogant and greedy these Democrats in the legislature 412 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: and the governor are being right now, and you know, 413 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: your listeners are struggling every day to put gas in 414 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: their tank, and they're spending hundreds of dollars extra per 415 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: week to get to their jobs. They've already taken a 416 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: cut and pay through the inflation that we're experiencing right now, 417 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: and now we're adding the state legislature and the governor 418 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: are adding this burden onto the backs of Californians. Yeah, 419 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: they're talking about doing something in October now for some 420 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: sort of gas rebate. But that's all we're hearing. So 421 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: they want to do a rebate program that checks or 422 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: debit cards could go out in the first week of 423 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: October or the second week of October. Well, what else 424 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: happens at that same point in time, Oh, mail ballots 425 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: drop at that same point in time. So you know, 426 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: I would be appropriate cynicism of your listeners to think 427 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: that the governor is trying to buy their vote with 428 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: you a bit of a trinket of a gas rebate 429 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: on a debit card. All right, now, let's talk about 430 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: this other issue. There's a bill on Newsom's desk from 431 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: Scott Wiener, a state Senator from San Francisco. Senda Bill 432 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: three to five seven would apparently, well, it would legalize 433 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: loitering with the inten would engage in prostitution. Yeah, now, 434 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: why is this a b a bad idea? Well, it's 435 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: amazing to me that the bills that come out of 436 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: the Bay Area, especially the San Francisco area when it 437 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: deals with public safety. And I don't think San Francisco 438 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: has anything to teach the rest of the state about 439 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: public safety, cleanliness, or you know, anything regarding saft and robbery. 440 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: So what this bill does is it removes a tool 441 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: from law enforcement that they use to impact human trafficking 442 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: and prostitution on our streets every day. And what this 443 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: bill would do is make it illegal. It would legalize 444 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: loitering for lack of a better term, it would prohibit 445 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: police from using the loitering laws to engage with pimps, 446 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: john's and prostitutes. That a lot of the people caught 447 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: up in prostitution are being trafficked by gang members or 448 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: other cartels or other organized crime, and so we've got 449 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: to find a way to basically save these people from 450 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: the streets. And this is one of the tools that 451 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: law enforcement uses, and the legislature wants to take that 452 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: tool away from the law enforcement and the prosecutors. And 453 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: it's just amazing to me that it passed and is 454 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: now in the governor's desk. So we want everybody to 455 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: call the governor's office and ask him to veto that bill. Yeah, 456 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: a lot of people look at prostitution as a victimless crime. 457 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: It's a woman that's decided that she wants to make 458 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: some money by selling her body. It shouldn't be any 459 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: of our business. But you guys are making the point 460 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of sex trafficking going on here 461 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: and these women are not always in control of the situation. Yeah, exactly, 462 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: And many of them are miners that have been trafficked 463 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: into the country. California is one of the worst states 464 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: for human trafficking, by the way, and most of the 465 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: coastal cities are worst of it. And so this is 466 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: an affront to human decency when these young girls and 467 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: boys too are caught up into this human trafficking, sex trafficking, 468 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: and we're not doing anything about it to help them. 469 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: All right, Stay, Senator Brian Jones, thanks for talking with me. 470 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,719 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Appreciate you guys covering these important issues. 471 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: All right. He's from the San Diego area Republican And 472 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: of course, nothing happening in Sacramento from the governor or 473 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: the Democrat controlled legislature about gas price relief for Californians. 474 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: More coming up on The John and Ken Show. Here 475 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: on KFI. I had meant to mention this earlier this hour. 476 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: There is an organization, it's a nonprofit called the Fallen 477 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: First Responder Home Program. They pay off the mortgages for 478 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: the families of law enforcement officers and firefighters killed in 479 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: the line of duty who also have young children. And 480 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: they are offering to do that for the families of 481 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: Officer Joseph Santana and Corporal Michael Paradies out there at 482 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: El Monte. That's a really nice thing. We haven't learned 483 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: but yet whether or not the families have accepted the 484 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: offer of this, but that is remarkable. The statement they 485 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: released said these two men were answering a call for 486 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: help and they were a gunned down by a criminal 487 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: out on parole, a criminal who should have been in customer, 488 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: who was set loose to terrorize the city. Senseless and 489 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: tragic loss has torn apart two families in the entire 490 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: Elmonti community, and it could have been avoided. So maybe 491 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: I'll try to get them on the show, because that's 492 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: a really nice thing if they're able to do that 493 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: for this family. And Parades is survived by a wife 494 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: of eighteen years. He's got a sixteen year old daughter 495 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: and a fourteen year old son, and Santana is survived 496 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: by his wife of seven years with a nine year 497 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: old daughter and two year old twin boys. So that 498 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: would be something really wonderful for the family that does 499 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: come about. Recall da George gascon dot com. A couple 500 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: of minutes on, Governor Dippity Do his office made the 501 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: announcement that they've recovered one point one billion dollars in 502 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: unemployment insurance funds. Remember back in twenty twenty and leading 503 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: into twenty twenty one, the Employment Development Department of California 504 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: got so overwhelmed with claims that they just let anything 505 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: pass on through, and that included prisoners and their operatives 506 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: working outside the prisons to put these claims in. Claims 507 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: were made the names of celebrities, I think somebody submitted 508 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein's name, and all sorts of cards. When out 509 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: of these are debit cards were sent to addresses that 510 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: these people controlled and they cashed in. The report we 511 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: saw was anywhere from twenty billion to thirty billion dollars 512 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: worth of fraudulent claims. So Newsom excited to announce that 513 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: recovered a billion. Well, hello, there's only like twenty nine 514 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: billion to go. By the way, this money was actually 515 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: from inactivated benefit cards. So how hard was that? Remember 516 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,479 Speaker 1: what they did when they panicked over this, and they 517 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,719 Speaker 1: should have They went completely in the opposite direction and 518 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: they just turned off the spigots on the claims and 519 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: they deactivated cards that they thought might be suspicious. That 520 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: of course ensnared some people who were quite innocently trying 521 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: to get their own employment money. But they have to 522 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: do everything extremes. First, let everybody who puts a claim 523 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: and get money. We can't figure it out right now 524 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: whether or not they're eligible. And then, oh, my god, 525 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: there's been fraud, billions of dollars worth of fraud. All right, 526 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: turned everything off that looks even remotely suspicious, so we 527 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: don't keep getting ripped off. Oh, people who legitimately had 528 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: a claim aren't getting their money. So I read this, 529 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: it's like it was a big press release. Since they 530 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: inactivated the cards, how hard is it to recover the 531 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: remaining funds. So, by the way, it's not our money. 532 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: It's going to be turned over to the federal government 533 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: because the claims went through the Emergency Pandemic Unemployment Assistance 534 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: Program in case. You don't know, A lot of the 535 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: unemployment money is funded through the federal government, and we 536 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: have to pay them back after a period of time, 537 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: and they do want their money. So it says the 538 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: agencies received at least twenty six point four million claims 539 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: and paid one hundred and eighty billion dollars in benefits. 540 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: This story says it's twenty billion to scammers, but I've 541 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: read estimates as high as thirty billion dollars. All right, 542 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: it's time to turn it over to Conway. Hey, now, hey, now, well, 543 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: we're looking at a suspicious vehicle investigation that closes the 544 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: Lax departure level to traffic. So I just what you needed. 545 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: You know, all the flights cancel, the prices are high, 546 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: traffic as a mess, you can't get there, and now 547 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: you can't get there. Yeah, but my sisters out there 548 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: look at a catch or flight. So maybe we'll talk 549 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: to her and see what the latest is at a 550 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: X that's possible, all right, thing wrong with her? Also, 551 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, your president's calling for a three month suspension 552 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: of gas and deeps. Oh yeah mind, but yours as well, 553 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: all of ours. One a woman there is a horrible 554 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: story woman or her dogs were killed out walking in 555 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: Pico Rivera, and she apparently has been struck by lightning. 556 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, what are the odds that you get killed 557 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: in southern California by lightning? You know, I've never heard 558 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: of it. No, that's not true. Remember the one guy 559 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: at Venice Beach, he was in the water and the 560 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: lightning struck the wall. Yeah, it's twenty fourteen. We dug 561 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: up the story. Yeah. But other than that, man, I think, 562 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's years and sometimes decades where you know, 563 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: nobody gets wiped out by what do you think, struck 564 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: by lightning or killed by a shark? Which one is 565 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: more like, Oh, I bet shark, I bet shark here 566 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: in southern California. Yeah, it probably is. Uh, you know 567 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: how about killed by lightning while the shark was around? 568 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: That's the Venice guy, right, that's the worst. That's right? Yeah, 569 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: either with them? Um, and then I three in custody 570 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: after a South Bay SUV chase, which was not that 571 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: interesting when it comes to chases, you know, and the 572 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: cops have this new thing where they can they can 573 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: slow the car down by capturing one of its tires, 574 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: and man, I hope they don't spend a lot of 575 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: money on that because that really reduces the length of 576 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: these chases. What if they last show the time? Yeah, 577 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: rope it's like a net and it goes around one 578 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: of their tires on ropes attached to the cop car 579 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: and they slow it down. I haven't seen that yet. 580 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: Cool to see, it's pretty cool to see, but but 581 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: it's a waste of money. I wouldn't get it if 582 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: I were the cops, you know, I'd let these guys 583 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: run because, look, the chases are the only thing that like, 584 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: It's like a super Bowl that breaks out. You call 585 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: friends and family and text people. You know, Chase on four, 586 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: Chase on nine.

Today's uh like one out of five, 588 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: maybe two, but no, but very close to one.
