Old Joe Biden is 11 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: finally going to the border. Well, he's really going to 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: Mexico to meet with the Canadian Prime Minister and the 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: Mexican President over in North America trade. But on the way, 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: apparently he's going to stop in El Paso. Meanwhile, there 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: is a new border strategy that's been unveiled by the 16 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: Biden administration that deals with the title forty two and 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: turning aside even more migrants from countries but also allowing 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: a legal path. We're going to talk now to Mark 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: from the Center for Immigration Studies, the executive director, for 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: more on what this all means. 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: Mark, how are you I'm doing great, thank you. 22 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 3: What's he what's she announced? What's she doing different? 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 2: Nothing? Really? I mean this is this is packaging. It's 24 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: a pr move and if anything, it's going to make 25 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: things worse. Uh. He's saying that there are you know, immigration, 26 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: the tough immigration enforcement measures he's combining with new legal 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: pathways to let people into the country. The problem is 28 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: that the you know, this is presented as sort of 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: a carrot and stick, but it's really all carrot and 30 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: no stick. There's little in the way of enforcement. There's 31 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: no money, for instance, no suggestion they're even going to 32 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: do detention of people who come to the border and 33 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: say that they're persecuted. And if you don't detain them 34 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: while their you know, hearings are going on and let 35 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: them go, well then they've gotten what they wanted. And 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: even if they get turned down for asybeum, they're not 37 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: going to leave. Uh. And he's creating this what's called 38 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: a parole program. Parole is not the criminal parole and immigration. 39 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: It means letting people into the country who don't have 40 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: authorization to be here. And it's supposed to be for 41 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: very individual purposes, like somebody you need somebody to testify 42 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: at a murder trial, no time for a visa. You 43 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: let him in and then he goes home. They're using 44 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: it for hundreds of thousands of people already, and they're 45 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: suggesting they would be using it for up to a 46 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: third of a million more people each year. 47 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 3: Is that legal to stretch the definition of parole? 48 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: It's not. And there's a lawsuit that the State of 49 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: Florida brought to stop it. But you know, this administration 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: based figures, they're going to do whatever they can get 51 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: away with until some court stops them from doing it, 52 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 2: and that takes a long time to happen, if it 53 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: ever does happen. And in the meantime, this administration has 54 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: let go into the United States well over one and 55 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: a half million illegal aliens. You've heard their higher numbers 56 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: people talk about, but those are arrets numbers, some of 57 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: them the same people over and over again. But as 58 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: for the number of people that they have just let 59 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: go who are never leaving, everybody understands that that's well 60 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 2: over now one point five million. The supercharge. 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 3: These are all separate individuals. 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: A million and a half, yeah, a million and a 63 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: half actual individual separate people. More than that actually at 64 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: this point, let go into the United States, and like 65 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: I said, this will simply increase. This is because the 66 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: administration he's the problem at the border, not as one 67 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: of numbers that there's too many people coming in excess 68 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: of the limits that Congress has passed. They see the 69 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: problem as a management problem that people need to be 70 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: that they're not people aren't being processed efficiently and humanely 71 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: and safely enough, and that what they need to do 72 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: is better management of the enormous numbers of people coming 73 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: across the borders outside the law. Do they not stopping people? 74 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: Do they really believe that or is that just the 75 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: the talking point to what do you mean? Well, do 76 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 4: they really believe that it's just a management problem? They 77 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 4: really do want all these people to come over here? 78 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: No, no, they do. But that's what I'm saying. In 79 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: other words, the numbers are not a problem for them, right, 80 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: even though it's beyond what Congress best. They just see 81 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: it as a way of what they want to do 82 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: is keep this out of the news. I see, so 83 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: that there's no pictures on Fox News of you know, 84 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: fifteen thousand people camped under a bridge or in that stuff. 85 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: That's their goal. 86 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't care if too million people come here, 87 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: but they could spread it out a little more so 88 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't look so bad all at once. 89 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 4: That's what they're looking for, and go if we had 90 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 4: a function in Congress. Is there anything Congress could do 91 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: to take control of the border away from the president, 92 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: or is the way the constitution the law is written, 93 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 4: the president has absolute final say on this sort of thing. 94 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: Well, there's all kinds of things in Congress could do. 95 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: Congress is the one with final say. The problem is, 96 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: this is the case with any executive versus the legislature, 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: is that it's hard to make an executive do something 98 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: they don't want to do, but you can stop them 99 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 2: from doing things. And the main way Congress could do 100 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: that is not only by tightening up, for instance, the 101 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: definitions and the rules on asylum and parole, but using 102 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: money and saying that you can't spend any money to 103 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: do X period. There's all kinds of things. But with 104 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: a split Congress, and even the Republican House has frankly 105 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: not gotten this act together, none of that's going to happen. 106 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: And the Democrats are happy to have the president basically 107 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: set up his own outlaw immigration system because they don't 108 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: believe that there should be limits on immigration, and they're 109 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: okay with the president operating outside the law as long 110 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: as the result is something they like. 111 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: I feel like we've had two years of this mark 112 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: we're not really seeing any consequences for what they're doing. 113 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the stories pop up, Fox News covers it, 114 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: some other media outlets do, but that doesn't seem like 115 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: in the elections they suffered for it doesn't seem to 116 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: be any political consequences to this open policy. 117 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, not enough, that's for sure. Although the very 118 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: fact that the president you know, is stopping off in 119 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 2: El Paso on the way to Mexico and felt the 120 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: need to release this you know, fat sheet of new 121 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: immigration initiatives that itself suggests they're feeling some kind of heat. 122 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking one of the reasons they're reacting is 123 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: that all of these sanctuary city mayors in New York 124 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: and Chicago are are you know, screaming to the White House. 125 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: They're not doing it publicly. All they're saying publicly is 126 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 2: give us more money. But I think they're screaming to 127 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: the White House and saying, look, you got to do 128 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: something about this. We're you know, hanging out here un our. 129 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: Governor news Our Governor Newsom said, we can't be spending 130 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: any more money on the migrants. It's going to bankrupt 131 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: this Yeah, okay, exactly. 132 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 4: If we have another year of this immigration level, these 133 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 4: cities and states are going to have twice as many 134 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 4: people that they have now that they've got to care 135 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: for in some way, they're gonna be sending twice as 136 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 4: much money. I mean, there has to be a limit somewhere, 137 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: right because New York City can't print money, and every 138 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 4: every crew, every. 139 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: Doc can demand they can demand bailouts. That's what you're 140 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: going to be hearing is demanding money bailouts for these 141 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: cities from the Fed because because of the migrant crisis. 142 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: And they're going to say, well, there's no we don't 143 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: have no control over it. It's just like the tides 144 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: or the weather. These people are fleeing persecution and all 145 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: that stuff. Give us more money. And the question is 146 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: will the Republicans in the House stand their ground and 147 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: say no, no more money. 148 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 4: So what do you think do you think they'll hold it? 149 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: Because the Republicans can't be trusted on this issue. 150 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 3: Many no, they. 151 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: Can't, but we'll see. I'm not optimistic. 152 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: Well, all right, Mark, items, it seems like the whole government, 153 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: especially on this issue, is just broken. 154 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: It's just laying in ruins. 155 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. And part of that though, I mean, let's be fair, 156 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: it's not just that politicians are all weasels. It's that 157 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: the public really is divided on what immigration policy should be. 158 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: There's an increasing part of the electorate, especially after Trump, 159 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: but even before that that doesn't think that the American 160 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: people have the right to keep anybody out. And you 161 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 2: know that's being expressed through democratic politicians. And this is 162 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: an issue we need to grapple with politically openly, not 163 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: just talk about, you know, our Haitians being whipped by 164 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: the border patrol or is the wall being finished? Those 165 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: are all important issues, but those are side issues. The 166 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: real question is do we want to have limits on immigration? 167 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: Yes or no? And if we do, what are we 168 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: willing to do to enforce the law? 169 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: All right, Mark, thank you very much for joining us today. 170 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. 171 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: Thank you all. 172 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: Mark Korean, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies 173 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: and the Biden administration announcing new border policies and as 174 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: Mark reads, it.

I think when Biden was 179 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: debating Trump in twenty twenty, one of his lines was, Oh, 180 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: it's not like I want to see two million people 181 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: at the border. But that's what happened last year's two 182 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: point four million people came in, you know, so. 183 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 3: He doesn't remember he said that. 184 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up, including immediately the 185 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: keyword that you'll need to enter the website to possibly 186 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: win one thousand dollars.

What do we make of it? Well, 206 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: we'll talk to Tracy coming up after two. 207 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 4: Thirty Venis needs it more than any other town on 208 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 4: the West Side. 209 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: Still, huh, even though they got them all off the 210 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: boardwalk last year. 211 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 4: Well because some of them just you know, got shuffled 212 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 4: around into the other just. 213 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: Moved into neighborhoods and other places. 214 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: Right. 215 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Apparently this is a pretty large encampment. 216 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 4: And left a big mess and it's going to take 217 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 4: a while to clean up. 218 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: But my question for Tracy is how he's just going 219 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: to send outreach workers and the psychiatrists, we the street psychiatrists, 220 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: we learned about out there to talk to them for 221 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: days and weeks, you got some other plan. 222 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 3: It's the same story we read every few days, is 223 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: the outreach workers and they're going to be you know. 224 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 4: Sent to some shelter somewhere, hotel room or whatever. But 225 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 4: I've just talked with somebody about this that there there's 226 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 4: no we don't have clinics in any great numbers that 227 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 4: could handle the thousands and thousands of homeless people. We 228 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: don't have the rehabilitation centers, we don't have the mental 229 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: health centers. 230 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 3: There's no law. 231 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 4: Obviously we've talked about a ten thousand times. There's a 232 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 4: law that compels them to go or compels them to stay. 233 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 4: And that's the part where this whole thing breaks down. 234 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 4: I know outreach, yes, fine, you know, I'll give them 235 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 4: a room for a night, whatever, But. 236 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 3: These are crazy drug addicts. 237 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: Well, we learned also with these statistics for the city 238 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles that the murders dipped, and the Times 239 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: made a big deal of it, dipped six percent twenty 240 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: twenty two versus twenty twenty one. But here's an aspect 241 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: of that number. You need to hear more about. NBC 242 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: four's Eric Leonard with this about the homeless and the murders. 243 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 5: A sixty five year old man named Jerry Israel has 244 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 5: been identified as the victim of this arson. He was 245 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 5: found inside an RV parked along Browning Avenue near Budlong 246 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 5: in Exposition Park Monday night, and detectives say it's a homicide. 247 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 5: New LAPD crime data obtained by the Iteam shows during 248 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, the city recorded a total of three 249 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 5: hundred eighty one murders. Of those, ninety two of the 250 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 5: victims were described as homeless, or twenty four percent of 251 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 5: the total. Those cases included the killing of a homeless 252 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 5: man July ninth in North Hills One that prosecutors say 253 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 5: was part of a robbery and shooting spree across southern California. 254 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 5: Two men have been charged in that case, which is 255 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 5: being prosecuted in Orange County. In twenty twenty two, the 256 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 5: LAPD also recorded more than twelve thousand, eight hundred aggravated assaults. 257 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 5: These are the most serious beating, stabbings, or shootings where 258 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 5: the victims survive. Officers describe nearly seventeen hundred victims of 259 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 5: those crimes as homeless or roughly thirteen percent. We are 260 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 5: united and serious about the city's crisis of homelessness. LA 261 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 5: Mayor Karen Bass has declared a state of emergency because 262 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 5: of the city's homeless crisis and his promised to rapidly 263 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 5: move thousands of people into shelters or hotels. Homeless advocates 264 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 5: say any living situation will be safer than tense or 265 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 5: RVs pay If the mayor is successful in sheltering people 266 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 5: as quickly as she's promised, that should be reflected in 267 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 5: some of this crime data that we collect over the 268 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 5: next few months. 269 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: That's Eric Leonard NBC four. So let's take a closer 270 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: look at this. Twenty four percent of the homicides, the 271 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: murders twenty twenty two were homeless people. And then you know, 272 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: it's also reported that actually drug overdoses, heart disease COVID nineteen, 273 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: and traffic injuries claim more lives than the murders. So 274 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: the homeless people are going down for all sorts of 275 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: bad reasons, which should be another important incentive to get 276 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: them off the streets. You and I have always talked 277 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 1: about this, like a thousand die a year on the streets. 278 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, but what does this tell you If a quarter 279 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 4: of the murders are homeless people and you're having one 280 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 4: thousand a year die in the streets and you hardly 281 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 4: hear anything from anybody in government, what does that tell 282 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 4: you These politicians, for all their talking blather, consider all 283 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 4: these people disposable. 284 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, does not tell you to 285 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: do something that, even if it's against their will to 286 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: save their lives. 287 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: It does if you care. It does, even if all 288 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: you want to do is your job. Either care about 289 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 4: the humanity, which they don't and most people don't, or 290 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 4: if you have pride in your job and say, look, 291 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 4: I'm running this city. We shouldn't have people getting murdered 292 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 4: on the streets like this. But this is this is 293 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: because because what they've done, and they've done it brilliantly. 294 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 4: They created their industrial homeless industrial complex, and they have 295 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 4: conned taxpayers into giving over billions of dollars. That money 296 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 4: is never seen again. But there's a lot of people 297 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 4: now in the city employed by all these nonprofits, by 298 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 4: all these homeless agencies. They're all making money. They got 299 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 4: regular paychecks. You have even more homeless people, and the 300 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 4: more you have homeless people, the more tax money you'll 301 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 4: get in and the more jobs that you'll have. That's 302 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 4: the purpose of all this is to create a new industry. 303 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: It just jarred me because you know, whenever you hear 304 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: homicides to think of like gang members killing each other 305 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: or something like that, or some other type of shoot. Well, 306 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: there was twenty five percent or homeless people. And yeah, 307 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: and they count the ones in the RVs, like the 308 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: guy that died in the fire. That's all is part 309 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: of the stats. But that should be another reason to 310 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: make this a priority, to get these people three off 311 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: the streets. 312 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 4: Set that Brentwood encampment that was a mile from my house, 313 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: the one near the v Yeah, there was a murder there. 314 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 4: There there were two murders there. Somebody got run over 315 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: and well there may have been three. Then there were 316 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: two stabbings. I was just looking it up. I remember 317 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 4: if somebody got run over, somebody got run over and killed. Yeah, 318 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 4: there were three deaths. Two of them are stabbing murders. 319 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 4: The third one was a runover situation. I don't know 320 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 4: if they declared it a murder, but clearly it was 321 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: you know, homeless people acting up now, and maybe they 322 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 4: looked at that as an action but it's like three 323 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 4: deaths in an extremely peaceful neighborhood when there is an 324 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 4: encampment there. 325 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: And not an aberration. Apparently in twenty twenty one it 326 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: was twenty one percent of homicide for homeless people, So 327 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 1: not a big change, pretty consistent, actually, right. 328 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 4: You wonder why where they have an encampment in front 329 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 4: of a school, everybody goes nuts in the neighborhood. 330 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Tracy Park, new Los Angeles City council member replacing 331 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: Mike Bonnen, will be our guest next.

No, he's not 415 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 4: repairing bikes for the other homeless people. He's stealing the 416 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 4: bikes and then taking them apart and hoarding all the 417 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 4: individual pieces. That's what's going on. And the draw uggs 418 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 4: scrambling his brain is what's making him do that. 419 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Tracy Park in an hour.

Oh yeah, this 425 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: story is fascinating people. Apparently he and his family, his 426 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: wife and his four year old son and his seven 427 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: year old daughter, got in their tesla and took a 428 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: trip up north along Highway one, and at some point 429 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: Darmesh decided that's it. I don't want to be around anymore. 430 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: I don't want them to be around, and he drove 431 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: the Tesla off a cliff where it tumbled down several 432 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: hundred feet. They all survived. In fact, they weren't even 433 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: that injured, and at first I guess they were investigating 434 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: it as an accident, but they determined at least that's 435 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: the case right now, that Patel was on a murder 436 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: suicide omission. 437 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 4: All right, So now how did they determine that? Did 438 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 4: he admit to this or did the wife tell the story? 439 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 4: That good question to tell. Seemed all of a sudden 440 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 4: really excited as they were flying off the cliff. 441 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: That's going to have to come out in some sort 442 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: of Affidavid court document. Yeah, because, yeah, they fell two 443 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to three hundred feet. A miraculous rescue because, 444 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: as one first responder said, no one usually survives that. 445 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: It's called Devil's slide, and there's been a lot of 446 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: accidents for people going over the side. 447 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 4: There so so many airbags pop out of this Tesla model. 448 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a why question is like curtains, airbag curtains 449 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: that pop over too. It may have done enough because 450 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: this thing kind of tumbled over. It did land upright. 451 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 3: I hadn't heard about this. This sounds really cool. 452 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: But anyway, what we were looking for is possibly sneak 453 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: peek at what is going on here. Neighbors said that 454 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: they were wonderful people.

There were 504 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: great people, a great family. Everybody's puzzled because usually when 505 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: something like this happens is somebody that says, well, i'd 506 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: hear a lot of noise over there, arguments, yeah, that's 507 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: the thing. A great family goes as far as the 508 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: front door. You close the front door, you don't know 509 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: what the hell's going on inside. Because and is there 510 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: any relative of either side that has a story. If 511 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: she was having problems with him, wouldn't she have confided 512 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: in someone? Of course, she's alive, she's dead, she can 513 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: tell her story. Maybe she's off caught off guardier too, 514 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: that her husband was going to try to kill her 515 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: and their kids. 516 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 3: I have no idea that he got to explain to 517 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 3: the kids, why did daddy try to drive kill us? 518 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 3: Why did he drive off the cliff? What are you 519 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 3: going to say? I know that he's very sick. 520 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: Makes me think of that Orange County story from last year. 521 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: Remember the man that's accusing his wife of trying to 522 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: put poison in his lemonade. 523 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yes, that's right. 524 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: I don't know where that story is what happened to that, 525 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: But when we look closer at that one, that couple 526 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: were having real problems. 527 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 4: There's always real problems, either he had them internally or 528 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 4: they had it as a family or as a couple. 529 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 4: There always are, you know, and people who have the 530 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 4: worst interior lives put on the best show off. Maybe 531 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 4: like trailer trash people don't. But in the professional class, 532 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 4: like this guy, he's a doctor, he's a radiologist. You know, 533 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 4: they're handing out points setius. That's what you do, right 534 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 4: I So you think that was part of the thing. 535 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 4: Then if you're going with that theory, this wasn't spontaneous. 536 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 4: Right handing out the point edious to the neighbors would 537 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 4: be like I want to make everyone think I'm a 538 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 4: great guy. I don't trust people who do that I 539 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 4: really don't. It's like, you know, somebody's at the door 540 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 4: and he's got a point SETIA for me. It's like, Okay, 541 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 4: what's your angle? What are you looking for here? What 542 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 4: are you covering up? Why are you trying to divert attention? 543 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 3: I don't get it. I don't need a point sety. 544 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 3: I don't even know you. 545 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: All right, So apparently he's still hospitalized, but they're investigating 546 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: the case thoroughly. So since everybody's alive in this case, 547 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: we're probably gonna get some real answers before too long 548 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: as to why he tried to do this?
