Speaker 1: do that? Ken? I mortgage my house? Why not? Right,

25
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: it's worth the shot. It improves my odds like half

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: a percent or something. You would never do that. Wow,

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: now you're challenging me. After the show, I'm getting online

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: with my bag of money. All right. Deborah Mark obviously

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: is here. It's my best friend over there in the

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: news booth. We're gonna give you a new name. You're

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: the presenter, the news presenter. That's very British. I like

32
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: that better than the reader that you called me earlier

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: this week. You do read off the screen, right, Yeah,

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: how is that inaccurate? Well it's not really inaccurate, but

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: I think it's demeaning. Yeah. I've worked hard to get

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm the news and you reduced me to a reader.

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: I think I'm a little more than that. But anyway,

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: all right, we'll have a good fun today. We do

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: have the moist line and of course the hack for

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: the Dumpster coming up. We're going to start the show

41
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: yesterday we mentioned this, I think it was during this

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: hour that in Washington, DC, the mayor is asking for

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: the National Guard. Thousands of migrants have arrived there from

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: some border states, specifically Texas and Arizona. At the same time,

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: they found seventy three migrants, including thirteen kids, in a

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: number of stash houses in Washington, DC that they believe

47
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: are operated by human smugglers. We're going to talk to

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: John Cohen, an ABC News contributor, the former Acting Under

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: Secretary for Intelligence and counter Terrorism Coordinator at the West

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, and we've never spoken to him before.

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: So John, welcome to the show. All right, it's nice

52
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: to be with you. And I will point out that

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: I am a southern California boy. I was a police

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: officer in Gardena and worked on game task horses and

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: drug task horses in the eighties and early nineties all

56
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: across the sub there of Empire. So all right, so

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: you have quite a bit of experience, especially in law

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: enforcement in your background. The definition of a stash house,

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: this is pretty much what the smugglers do with the

60
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: migrants to what they get their money. Yeah, in some cases,

61
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: I mean, let me put what's going on now in perspective,

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: because I think it's sort of important for people to

63
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: understand right now. If he looks south of the border,

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: they are literally millions of people who over the last

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: three or four years have fled their countries of origin

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: because of violence, poverty, corruption, and governments. They are in

67
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: Central and South America and they are waiting for the

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to come to the US. They will pay criminal organizations,

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: smuggling organizations that operate in the US Mexico, Central South

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: America to be smuggled across the southern border and into

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the US. In some cases, the smugglers will simply drop

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: them off you in San Diego or New Mexico or

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: Arizona or Texas, and they'll be on their way, and

74
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: they will usually seek to gain entry into the interior

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: part of the country through other means. But in some

76
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: cases these smugglers will actually transport them to other parts

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: of the United States and place them in residential and

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: commercial facilities until such time that the smugglers feel like

79
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: they've gotten adequate compensation for their smuggling. Oftentimes, these folks

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: will be sold into sex trafficking or forced labor and

81
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: the money will go to the smugglers for a certain

82
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: period of time. So this is what we are seing.

83
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: We saw in Washington, d C. One of these stash

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: houses were located by law enforcement. But it's something that

85
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: occurs across the country and increasing concern of law enforcement.

86
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: It more often happens though closer to border locations. Right,

87
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: these kinds of houses is it really isn't kind of

88
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: rare for it to happen in a place like and

89
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: it says in northwest Washington, DC, where the meeting at

90
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: home prices seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. Yeah, it's not

91
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: that uncommon to see it in other parts of the country.

92
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: These smugglers will, these smuggling organizations, these criminal organizations will

93
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: smuggle into other cities. So I've seen it not only

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: in you know, you know, areas close proximity of the border,

95
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: but we've also seen it in other cities New York,

96
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: New York State, Middle Midwest. So, um, it's not it's

97
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: not it's not that it's uncommon, it's that we just

98
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: don't often hear about it because typically these stash houses

99
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: are discovered when there's a tip by a concerned neighbor

100
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: or a family member or somebody else becomes aware that

101
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: somebody who they know of is being held in one

102
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: of these stash houses. But unfortunately, um, you know, the

103
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: people who witness this don't always feel comfortable notifying the police.

104
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: They may be here in an authorized or undocumented status,

105
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: so oftentimes these stash houses remain in the shadows. Now,

106
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: the buses that have been arriving in Washington, d C.

107
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: With the migrants from Texas and Arizona. Is that connected

108
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: to this? Do we know? Or well, it's not connected

109
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: per se, but it is I would say there's a linkage.

110
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: So Governor Abbott has taken it upon himself, in addition

111
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: to some other activities, to provide migrants the opportunity to

112
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: go to other parts of the country. So, as you

113
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: pointed out, I think as of today I saw reporting

114
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: that he has provided bus service to about thirty five

115
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: hundred migrants and transport them the DC. He's also sent

116
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: buses to Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and you know, and

117
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: he has made it pretty clear that he's doing this

118
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: because one, you know, the current immigration situation is impacting

119
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: Texas communities along the border. And secondly, he wants to

120
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: bring the attention of lawmakers in Washington to the problem.

121
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: The problem is that, in a way, ironically, he's actually

122
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: creating an incentive for more illegal immigration because one of

123
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: the ways these smuggling groups operate is they will provide

124
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: disinformation or misinformation to those that are waiting to come

125
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: to the US from south of the border, and they'll

126
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: try to convey that there's an opportunity for them to

127
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: gain entry into the US. So, now what we're seeing,

128
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: or now what potentially could happen, is they are describing

129
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: these buses as an opportunity that once these migrants get

130
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: into Texas, they will be provided transportation to other parts

131
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: of the country. So that's one of the things that

132
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: has law enforcement concerned as well. Yeah, I wonder how

133
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: they do this. Do you have any idea. Did they

134
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: tell them that there's something in Washington, d C. For them,

135
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: or do they tell them that you can find connections

136
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: to people, you know in other parts of the country

137
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: may be easier on the East coast. I mean, how

138
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: exactly do you get migrants to board a bus from

139
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Texas just ahead to Washington, d C. He's not incentivizing

140
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: with anything, is he yeah, I know. I don't quite

141
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: understand that myself, and I've asked a few people how

142
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: this is happening. There is advertising within the community, and

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: part of the challenge is border patrol and customs and

144
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: border protection broadly, and I have raised concerns because if

145
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you're going to move people who may have entered the US,

146
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: who may be awaiting asylum proceedings or immigration proceedings, and

147
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: you're not coordinating with the US government, then moving them

148
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: may actually impede the process, the legal process for adjudicating

149
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: their case. So if someone can't appear for their immigration

150
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: proceeding because they've boarded a bus and they've been transported

151
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: to another city, that causes issues. If someone's actually, subsequent

152
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: to their entry into the United States determined to be

153
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: a risk by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement or CBP, and

154
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: they're no longer where they're supposed to be because they've

155
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: boarded a bus and been transported to Alabama or Georgia,

156
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: that could cause a threat to public safety. So, you know,

157
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: while while you know his purpose maybe to bring attention

158
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: to a problem he thinks is a major issue, he

159
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: may actually not only be creating in sentims for more

160
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: illegal immigration, but he may actually be impeding public safety

161
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: efforts to protect against people who are able to get

162
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: into the US who shouldn't be here now, isn't isn't

163
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Biden's homeland security though also flying migrants to cities around

164
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: the country too, is what I read. Yeah, so part

165
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: of what happened, part of the way that we handle

166
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: with this unprecedented level of people seeking to come to

167
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: the United States is some are placed into residential or

168
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, or sort of custodial environments, but others are

169
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: released through a program that is called Alternatives to Detention,

170
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: And what it means is that you have very strict

171
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: protocols you have to follow with regard to checking in

172
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: and providing information and you know, and that is how

173
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: they keep track of people prior to the adjec you know,

174
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: their day in court on their immigration proceeding. So they

175
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: will be transporting people to other parts of the country,

176
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: but again they're coordinating with state and local officials as

177
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: they do that because they want to make sure that

178
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: the humanitarian resources are present to help care for these people.

179
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: And what happens to the migrants that run these stash

180
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: houses in Washington, d C. What's next for them? Do

181
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: you know they will be evaluated from a healthcare perspective,

182
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: They will be identified, obviously. If there are people there

183
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: who do not meet the criteria for being allowed entry

184
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: in the United States, they will be removed. If there

185
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: are people who have a valid claim for residing in

186
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: the United States or being a claim under the asylum process,

187
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: they'll go through the process. All right, Thank you very much,

188
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: John for coming on the show. Appreciate it, my pleasure

189
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: talk against it. John Cohen ABC News, former Acting under

190
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: Secretary for Intelligence and counter Terrorism Coordinator at the Department

191
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, and he was on to talk about

192
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: that discovery in Washington DC. A number of houses used

193
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: as stash houses Washington DC, with migrants being held there,

194
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: probably even until the smugglers got the rest of the

195
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: money they're due for getting them into the country. And

196
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: that on top of the fact that thousands have already

197
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: arrived by buses. As Texas and Arizona governors who are

198
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: trying to point out to Washington DC leaders and I

199
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: guess the mayor too, this is what happens when you're

200
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: overloaded with migrants all at once. When we come back,

201
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: we'll not only have the keyword. I'll tried the keyword

202
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: if you'd a chance for you to win some money

203
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: from KFI and iHeart. We also want to talk about

204
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: Arizona because the Wide Administration's dhs IS is building a

205
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: border wall. Well sort of. We'll explain more coming up

206
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: here on the John and Ken Show on KFI. My

207
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: guest after two thirty will be Lucy Hahn, Friends of

208
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: the Jungle. We've had her on a number of times.

209
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: Both John and I have noticed one of the biggest

210
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: eye sores in really a nice part of the city

211
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, the Loana Wetlands over there down in

212
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: the apply A del Rey area, and it has been

213
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: just disgusting with the people parking their tractor trailers and

214
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: beat up cars there and living out of them. And

215
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: just because they figured they won't be bothered, and because

216
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: it's the city of LA and it's Mike Bonnen's council district,

217
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: they haven't been bothered. But it's gotten to the point

218
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: where there have been fires, there have been shootings. It

219
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: has been horrific, and not to mention the environmental damage.

220
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: So you know, eventually the thought was, well and this

221
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: got really convoluted. I could talk about it with Lucy.

222
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: They came up with the thing where if there's nobody

223
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: in the trailer or in the RV, we can tell it,

224
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: but if there's somebody actually living in there, well then

225
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: we have to call in the service people, right, the ambassadors,

226
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: the outreach workers, and we have to talk to them

227
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: and work with them and see if we can find

228
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: them a safe place to either park the RV or

229
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: to live in a shelter or something. And I don't

230
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: think much has happened. That's my impression that since this

231
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: came down. I was a month ago. I think it

232
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: was the last time he had her on the show,

233
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: it probably has led to more inaction. So the reason

234
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: we're going to talk to her again. She had a

235
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,239
Speaker 1: visitor yesterday at the Ballona Wetlands, Rick Caruso, who's promising

236
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: to do something and that's a big update if he

237
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: wins the next race for mayor in LA in November.

238
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: All right, Johnny Ken, shall we teld you that they

239
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: are well, they're having a problem in Washington, DC with migrants.

240
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: They're being dumped there by the governors of Arizona and Texas,

241
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: and I think it's a great stunt. That's what the

242
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: left media likes to call it a stunt, but it

243
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: really does point out to them what we're going through

244
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: down here. And the Washington d C. Mayor is already

245
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: calling from the National Guard DA help deal with this.

246
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: And now we had words of a big stash house,

247
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: actually several stash houses with over seventeen migrants being held.

248
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: The next development is also kind of funny. Apparently the

249
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: White House is announced that they're going to complete more

250
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: sections of Trump's border wall. Now, when he was running

251
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: for president, Biden's said that he will not he will

252
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: not construct any more border wall. That's it. He's going

253
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: to stop all the Trump's projects and there won't be

254
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: any more border wall construction because if walls are racist

255
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: something like that, and then the other excuse and peoplen

256
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: just dig under or climb over walls anyway, they don't work.

257
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: They do work, and the places in California where they

258
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: were installed years ago when Bill Clinton was president, they

259
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: have proven to be effective enough. You need other measures,

260
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: but certainly a wall doesn't hurt. So they're going to

261
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: steal openings in a dam just west of downtown Yuma, Arizona,

262
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: called the Morellos Dam. Apparently that was part of a

263
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: project that the Trump administration was working on. The dam

264
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: sits in a section of the border that runs north

265
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: south along the Colorado River before turning on an east

266
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: west track at the California Arizona state line. There have

267
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: been two hundred and thirty five thousand migrants encounters in

268
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: the Border Patrols Yuma sector since October first of last year.

269
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: Only the Del Rio and the Rio Grand Valley sectors

270
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: have reported more encounters in the same period. We had

271
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: mentioned this a few months ago that Arizona is once

272
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: again becoming almost ground zero for illegal immigration. Texas still

273
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: leads the way, but suddenly Arizona just jumped back up again.

274
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: Everything cycles. Fortunately California hasn't become obvious. Certainly have illegal immigration,

275
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: but Texas and Arizona had been kind of switching back

276
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: and forth with a lot of illegal immigration at the border.

277
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: So the White House had a media briefing this week,

278
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: and the spokeshole for Biden, the Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre,

279
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: was asked about the project. Simply, wait a minute, you

280
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: guys are building a border wall. They just weren't going

281
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: to do that. Well, our answer was, we're not finishing

282
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: the wall. We're cleaning up the mess the Pride administration

283
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: left behind and their failed attempt to build the wall.

284
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: Then the question was, well, but Biden said, there will

285
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: not be another foot of wall construction during my administration.

286
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: What's changed. We're not finishing the wall. And again, these

287
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: spokespeople are their walls. They just repeat the same thing

288
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: over and all over again. We're trying to save lives.

289
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: And there's a picture of people scaling part of this

290
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: dam from back in April, and it's like they're climbing

291
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: up the side of it. If you have seen the

292
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: big cement walls of a dam that are kind of sloped,

293
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: it does look like a pretty crazy way to enter.

294
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: So I guess there must be something that they're plugging

295
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: along there. I'm glad the Department of Homeland Security has

296
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: listened to Arizona is going to close these gaps. And

297
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: that comment actually comes from the Democratic Senator from Arizona,

298
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly. He praised them for filling in the openings.

299
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: So again, what we're dealing with the semantics, Well, we're

300
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: not building a wall, we're filling in gaps. And of

301
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: course and they'd like to say this, and of course

302
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: Trump said this. Every president for like the last twenty

303
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: five years has said this, The immigration system is broken.

304
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to fix what was left behind from

305
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: me and trying to make sure that it's a safer,

306
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: cleaner process. And they're trying to say the same thing.

307
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: But honestly, what they're doing is they are building a

308
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: wall because or whatever they're doing filling in gaps. The

309
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: idea is to prevent people from getting into the United States,

310
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: so it has the same bottom line. Meeting all right.

311
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 1: When I returned, Lucy Hand will be my guest. Her

312
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 1: group is called Friends of the Jungle, and they're all

313
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: about doing something to clean up the Bologna Wetlands, particularly

314
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: with all the people that park their vehicles there, cars, RV's, vans.

315
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: If you've never seen it, you should go online and

316
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: look at pictures of it. It's an unbelievable environmental disaster,

317
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: and of course it takes a toll on the neighborhood.

318
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: She got a visit from mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, and

319
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: she'll talk to us about it on the John and

320
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: Ken Show next But update coming up after three o'clock

321
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: former Eli County DA Steve Cooley is going to be

322
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: our guest. It's about the signature verification on the recall

323
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 1: of George going. As you know, it's with the registrar

324
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions and they had

325
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: to go through every single one of them. There's a

326
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: report that they might be done sooner than we think.

327
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: But also there's a question as to whether or not

328
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: recall backers could observe the signature verification process. Much like

329
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: during the elections, particularly the presidential elections, observers would sometimes

330
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: sit there and watch them go through the balluts. We'll

331
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: see apparently they can't do this with the gas gone

332
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: recall signature verification process, and we'll talk to Steve about

333
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: that and more. After three o'clock, Lucy Hahn, Friends of

334
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: the Jungle, is coming back on the John and Ken Show,

335
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: and she put out on social media quite the picture

336
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: from the Bologna Wetlands, where we have told you before

337
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: it is one awful neighborhood and environmental mess with a

338
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: whole bunch of RVs and vans and cars park. There

339
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: are people living out of them in this environmentally sensitive

340
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: of area on the west side of Los Angeles. Friends

341
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: of the Jungle is her group, and the picture she

342
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: sent out on social media along with the message was

343
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: that apparently she got a visitor. It's none other than

344
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: the candidate for mayor, Rick Caruso. Lucy, welcome back to

345
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: the show. Thank you, thanks for having me. Good. How

346
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: are you good? Good? How did this come about? Well,

347
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: one of our community leaders knew Rick Caruso and asked

348
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: him to come out to the wet lands and there

349
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: were a few community community leaders from our area that

350
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: were there to meet him and to explain our issues,

351
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, the environmental issues and the safety issues, the

352
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: fire issues. And it was a very good It was

353
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: very a good A turnout is a good turnout, and

354
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: it was great for him to go there and actually

355
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 1: see it frohimself. So we're really happy about that. So

356
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: was he aware of what that looks like? They were? He?

357
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: Had you ever been there before? Did he tell you?

358
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure. I think he's aware of

359
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: the area. I'm not sure if he'd actually been there before,

360
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: but he was definitely shocked. I mean, we had the

361
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: bike chop shops, we're out there. Um, the hypodermic needles,

362
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: and we told them about you know, if there was

363
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: a wildfire, it would get to the gas plant and

364
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: the gas tanks would explode. So that was that was

365
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: like half a block away. So and and we also

366
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: told them that that people are shooting guns or BB

367
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: guns from the RVs up on the onto the bluffs

368
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: and breaking windows. And he was really surprised about that

369
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, how would you say it is today

370
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: compared to a few months ago. Better, We're same, like same,

371
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: nothing's happened. Um the city they're not towing vehicles that

372
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: are violent parking signs that are located in our environmentally

373
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: sensitive habitat. Bond still refuses to support parking enforcement and

374
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: it seems like city officials are getting us to run around.

375
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: So we're just very, very frustrated. And when Rick came down,

376
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean it was like a breath of fresh air.

377
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he understands that political system is broken, and

378
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: he referred to the corrupt politicians and the politicians that

379
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: don't respond to their constituents. So it sounds like he's

380
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: right to clean house and address the corruption within the city. Now,

381
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't specific specific about what he could do with

382
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: regards to this problem. Um, he wasn't really specific because

383
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: we were showing him. I think it was he was

384
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: just trying to, you know, try and absorb it all.

385
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: But we do know that he's going to um one

386
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: of his things for cleaning up the city, if he's

387
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: going to restore ethics back to them, all the city employees,

388
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: and as well as promote transparency. And the one thing

389
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: that we like about him, it's a big thing with

390
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: his real estate background, he's got access to construction experts

391
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: that can bring the cost of homeless housing down because

392
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: right now you've got the homeless industrial Complex, which you're

393
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: making tons of money off building housing for the unhoused.

394
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: And with the city right now it's about seven hundred

395
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a unit, and he's exploring alternative housing that

396
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: could be fifteen thousand dollars I mean fifty fifty thousand

397
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: dollars a unit. So we're really excited about that. I mean,

398
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: if they can bring the cost down, that would be

399
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: huge for us all the taxpayers. Now this probably goes

400
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: to that saying, but you can't park overnight in these

401
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: areas of the wetlands where you see exactly you can't

402
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: there's there's no overnight parking. That's a parking law, as

403
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: well as no towway, no parking in other areas, and

404
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: that's they're all posted on signs. But it just seems

405
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: a city right now does not have the political will

406
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: well to tow them. And we're really really upset, and

407
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: like I said, we're really frustrated. So we're very very

408
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: fortunate to have Rick come down and see what we

409
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: have to deal with day to day. Last time we

410
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: visited this story, they had some cockamami idea that they

411
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 1: would send people, but if someone's actually living in the RV,

412
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: then they have to send the homeless ambassadors and outreach

413
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: workers they are to try to deal with the situation.

414
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: But if the RV appears to be unoccupied, then they

415
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: could tow it. Did that turn out to be anything, No,

416
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: that's true, but I don't they haven't even sent anyone

417
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: down to to offer housing. I mean, not even to

418
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: go you know, for the first step. I got people

419
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: in my town ticketing cars every day. I see them.

420
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: We have these stupid sweeping days and they're right out

421
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: there with their little ticket books. I mean, but this

422
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: area that's being overrun with environmental devastation, there's nobody there

423
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: to enforce any kind of parking, right. And also the safety.

424
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got a lot beside the environmental devastation,

425
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 1: You've got safety issues from you know, like a mess

426
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: lab just all the crime. What happens is the people

427
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: they live in that area and then they ride their

428
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: bikes into the surrounding neighborhoods and they steal from the

429
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: surrounding neighborhood. So that's that's an issue as well. Did

430
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: you so you gave them a tour and did you

431
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 1: talk about all these incidents that you've related to us

432
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: and everybody else that's your friends of the jungle. Yeah,

433
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: we did, and he listened to us, and uh uh,

434
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, Bass hasn't even been down. So Bass is

435
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: Karen Bass, the other mayoral candidate. I mean, at least

436
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Rick's coming down and he's hearing our issues. We talked

437
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: about other stuff besides besides the homeless, but um, he

438
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: was listening. He was listening. So we're hopeful if he

439
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: gets an office that everything we'll get cleaned up, because

440
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: that's what he said. If I'm in office, these uh,

441
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 1: these vehicles will be gone. So no media showed up

442
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: to cover the any media show up to see him

443
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: there with you were um no, there was no media.

444
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: I think they were saying they were, um Fox was

445
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: going to come out, but the reporter came down with

446
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: COVID so they couldn't make it out. All right, Lucy,

447
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: Well a good thing. I'm glad you're getting the word out.

448
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you've got Rick Caruso to visit that

449
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 1: problem there the Loona wetlands a really great great one

450
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: more thing, he also said that he would enforce the

451
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: existing laws which pertained the unhoused. If they're offered a bed,

452
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: the young house cannot live in our public spaces and straight,

453
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: so he would enforce that law. So that would be

454
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: that would be huge for us. Yeah, because what we've

455
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: found out over the years is that the unhoused, it

456
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: was nice of you to refer to them that way.

457
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: They sometimes don't want to go to shelters, they don't

458
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: want to go to congregate living spaces. Maybe if you

459
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: give them a hotel room they might go. And if

460
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: you give them their own big apartment, Oh, that sounds

461
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. And that's that's where we are now on

462
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: this ridiculous. Everybody wants their own private new apartment housing

463
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: built for them with all sorts of services behind it, right,

464
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, job services, counseling services, healthcare services. They want

465
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: this whole complete package, which is way too expensive. All right, Lucy,

466
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again soon. Thanks for coming on. Great,

467
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot. All right, Lucy Han Friends of the

468
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: Jungle is her group. You can look it up on

469
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: the internet. But she had a visit from Rick Caruso,

470
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: hopefully will be the next mayor of La because that's

471
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: really the clear choice over Karen Bass who both of them,

472
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, and this is what happens in politics. You

473
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: don't want to say anything. You can call it controversially.

474
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: You don't want to stake out too firm a position,

475
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: you know. But Rick does sounds like he'd do more

476
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: to clean up neighborhoods been Karen bass is on the

477
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: one hand and on the other hand, and this is

478
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: a complicated problem, and I don't you know, there's so

479
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: much to deal with. All right. So this is the

480
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: Bologna Wetlands on the west side, which has been overrun

481
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: now for several years. With these are if you've never

482
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: seen a go look at pictures because it is hard

483
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: to believe. I know there are people right now listeners

484
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: like all my neighborhood's worse. But just the RV's lined

485
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: up there. And this is supposed to be a place

486
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: that's protected because it's it's like a sanctuary. It's it's

487
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: an environmentally sensitive area of Belogna Wetlands on the west

488
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: side of Los Angeles. All right, more coming up. Oh

489
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: you know what's coming up on the John and Ken Show,

490
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: Deborah Mark, What where did this come from? Did this

491
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: come from you? Or from Eric? Bodycam footage of Las

492
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Vegas PD arresting the owner of the husky that was

493
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: left in the car with his mouth tape shut. That

494
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: was Eric. He put that in there for you see

495
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: what a nice guy I'm surrounded from this morning. He

496
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: sent its name Aga because I didn't put it on

497
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: the list, and I'm looking at him like, oh, I

498
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: wonder where this guy. But we'll play the body because

499
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: they're confronting the dopey owner of this good husky. You

500
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: should see did you see the video? You should take

501
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: a look at it, devil. You could see the little

502
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: puppy in the back seat. It was a very cute puppy.

503
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: I don't want to see the puppy with its mouth

504
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: tape show. It wasn't. It wasn't. It's kind of the

505
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: direct aftermath. It's breathing hard though, poor baby. And it

506
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: was on the top roof that was it was exposed

507
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: to the sun, the top of the Casino parking garage,

508
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: so there was no shade that I could see, all right,

509
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: and the guy went to gamble John and Ken show

510
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: UNKI an update on the recall effort against the Ella

511
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: County DA George Gascon a report that observers will not

512
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: be able to watch them verify the signature is at

513
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: the La County Registrar. In fact, they've already been doing it.

514
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: They may even be done as early as Tuesday from

515
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: one bit of information that we have. But no, you

516
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,239
Speaker 1: are not allowed the recall backers to watch them as

517
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: they verify the signatures, much as observers sometimes watched them

518
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: tabulate ballots after an election. I will talk to the

519
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: former La County Day Steve Cooley coming up after the

520
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: news at three o'clock speaking of the homeless. As just

521
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: talking to Lucy Hahn, who's with the Friends of the

522
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: Jungle about that horrible situation at the Bologna Wetlands with

523
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: all the RVs and vans parked along the side and

524
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: the environmental destruction to the wetlands. Speaking of the homeless,

525
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: here's the headline, naked man wanders into Whole Foods in Venice.

526
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: He lives in the newly opened VC eight C complex.

527
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: Apparently a six foot two totally naked man the other

528
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: day walked into the Whole Foods. He had to be

529
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: escorted out by security guards. And the kicker is that

530
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: it turns out that he's a resident of one of

531
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: these Venice community housing projects that just opened thirty four.

532
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: Permanent supportive is the word. I was looking for supportive

533
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: housing units at seven twenty Rows Avenue. See. I'd like

534
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: to tell you that once we get them into permanent

535
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: supportive housing, their lives will change and they'll adjust, go

536
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: shop and naked to really see the reason to do that.

537
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: But we turned our attention out to Las Vegas. Do

538
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: you see the stories on the flooding there that was unbelievable.

539
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: They a bunch of casinos, parts of these strip the airport.

540
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: It was apparently one hell of a big rainstorm that

541
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: came through yesterday and flooded out parts of the city.

542
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: But before that happened a couple of days ago. The

543
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: big story there, sadly, was another one of these people

544
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: that leaves the dog in the hot car. We now

545
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: know Deborah markets a three month old husky. Three months old, unbelievable.

546
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: We haven't gotten the name of the dog. What happened

547
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: was the Las Vegas Police got a report from security

548
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: that there was a dog in a car parked on

549
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: the top of the parking garage that the Bellaggio Casino.

550
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: It's a nice casino on the strip. So they got

551
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: there and sure enough they found the little puppy in

552
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: the backseat of the car. The temperature that day had

553
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: peaked at one hundred and thirteen degrees and the kicker

554
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: was the puppy's mouth was tape shut. Disgusting. Do you

555
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: know the person that eventually showed up that owns that car,

556
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: and of course probably owns that dog, wouldn't you know?

557
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: It is from southern California, Corona del Mar, which is

558
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: the Newport Beach area. We just stink up the whole country,

559
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: don't we. We have a couple of minutes of the

560
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: body cam footage of Las Vegas police arresting this guy

561
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: in confronting him about the poor little doggie. Where's the dog? Talk?

562
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: All right? Rider? He was with a lot of saliba. Yeah,

563
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: and like lad, he wasn't able to breathe there coming

564
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: on them, Sir, are you the owner of this vehicle,

565
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: the Mercedes? All right? Thir? Put your hands behind your back,

566
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: palms together, palms together, don't hum, don't interlock your fingers,

567
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: palms together. Yeah, come him. You have a husky inside

568
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: of the vehicle. Take him away. Any weapons on you, sir?

569
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: Any idea on you? Marriage twenty three one and custom

570
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: suck my vehicle? Stand right here, don't move. You know

571
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: what to do with him, Debora Mark. Yeah, put him

572
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: in a hot car that's exactly right for two hours

573
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: and tape his mouth shut. You're going to jail on

574
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 1: the felony, willful and endangement of an animal. Yes, you

575
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: realize how hot it is outside? You know, the vehicle off?

576
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: Windows up? You a taper around your dog's mouth? Sick person.

577
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: I love it cop. That cop is my hero. Business. Oh,

578
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: he he's hardcore. He must be a dog lover. Yes,

579
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: no questions asked. He was just like boom, you're getting cuffed.

580
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: You're out of here, guy. I don't know how much

581
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: damage should felony that charge he could get is, but

582
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: let's hope Nevada has tougher criminal justice laws than we

583
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: have here. His name is Raoul carbage All and I

584
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: said he's from Corona, Del Mar fifty years old. You

585
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: look at the booking photo, and yeah, he looks a

586
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: little out of it. His hair is all disheveled, he's

587
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: squinting at the camera. And I don't think this was

588
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: like three of the morning. I think this was sometime

589
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: during the day. As we said, it was sunny outside,

590
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: and the dog supposedly had been in the backseat of

591
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: that car with its mouth tape shut for two hours

592
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: while this fool went inside to gamble gamble. It's not

593
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: like he had a medical appointment or something he had

594
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: to do. Now, they don't say in the story because

595
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: we were speculating why did he tape the dog's mouth shut?

596
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: I think it could only be so the dog doesn't

597
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: yell out for help. Yes, I agree to call attention

598
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: to itself to get him in trouble. You better not

599
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: get that dog back. One to four years in state

600
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: prison in Nevada for felony animal cruelty. All right, let's

601
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: go for the four years up to five thousand dollars

602
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: and finds at the judge's discretion, No, the puppy is

603
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: in custody of animal control officers officials, and it is

604
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: still receiving medical treatment ten days later. Oh my gosh, Yeah,

605
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: this happened. I guess it just needs a lot of fluids.

606
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: It looked okay, we saw the video of it in

607
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: the back seat. It was just panting. This happened on

608
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: July twenties, so it's about nine days ago. It was

609
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: panting while sitting in the back seat. But it looked

610
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: kind of frienny, just staring up at everybody. What's going on? Yeah,

611
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: but you know, we always like to say the John

612
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: and Ken Show, if he did this that day, how

613
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: many times has he done this other places he's gone,

614
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: He just leaves the dog in the back seat and

615
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: locks everything up, And who knows how many times he's

616
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: taped the dog's mouth shut because it's you don't want

617
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: the dog to be yelling. Then I get a dog.

618
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, just don't get a dog. And I

619
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: just lucky somebody noticed this. Somebody wants to walk by

620
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: and just saw it in the back seat, because I

621
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: doubt it could make much sound with his mouth ape shot.

00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,799
