00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.839
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>six fortyfi.

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Bill Handle Here. It is a Monday morning, June sixteenth,

4
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna be hot, hot outside. Summer is coming. I'm already

5
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.559
<v Speaker 2>in my summer uniform. Don't have my mandles on, so

6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I have my sort of surgery boots. Still doing it thing.

7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 2>There's our training sheet. Thanks. Okay. Over the weekend, no surprise,

8
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 2>they caught the guy who was suspected of shooting those

9
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 2>two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in their homes. And

10
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 2>this happened in Minnesota, as you probably know, and he

11
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>was caught charged with a couple of degrees of second

12
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.799
<v Speaker 2>degree murder and attempted murder, and it was a man

13
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 2>hunt extraordinaire almost two days, involving more than one hundred officers.

14
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>And what ended up happening is he opens fire on

15
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>State Senator John Hoffman and his wife in the suburb

16
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Minneapolis where they lived, and then drove ten miles to

17
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>another suburb and shot Representative Melissa Hartman, who was the

18
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>former speaker of the Minnesota House and her husband. Those

19
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>two were killed and the first two were not. They

20
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 2>underwent surgery, and it looks like they're going to survive.

21
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 2>And this gets really strange. He poses a police officer

22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>to gain entry to the homes of the lawmakers, and

23
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>he's dressed in a police uniform. He's wearing a mask,

24
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>latex mask. He has an suv outside with the lights flashing,

25
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>which you can get, which is very weird. I don't

26
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 2>know how they sell those, but they do. And gunshots

27
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 2>were heard. A neighbor called the police show up and

28
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>he actually he's leaving the house after having killed the

29
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 2>two inside, and he gets into a shootout the police.

30
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>They see him shootout and says no one is hit

31
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>at that point, and he escapes out the back and

32
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 2>they're looking for him for two days now. And it

33
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>was about nine pm local time when the cops apprehended him,

34
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>and it was I don't think there was much excitement

35
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 2>there when they took him, and he'd been out there,

36
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>and I was watching some interviews, and you know, they

37
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 2>had various police officers retired and you know, detectives that

38
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing, and saw one of them say there's

39
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna he's gonna get caught. I mean, there's no way

40
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>around this one, you know. I'll there's so many security

41
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 2>commerce out there. We know who it is. He's gonna

42
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 2>he is going to ping with a credit card. Something

43
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>is going to happen. Now, what makes this so strange

44
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 2>is there's no evidence of him making previous threats to politicians.

45
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>There's no manifesto. The authorities believe the shootings were deliberated,

46
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>they were targeted, they were political. In one of his

47
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>cars they found his car, there was a roster of

48
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>dozens of names, Democratic lawmakers, people supportive of abortion rights,

49
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>liberal causes, uh they and there was evidence that he

50
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>may have wanted to attack one of Saturday's protests because

51
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 2>he had found They found out no Kings flyers, and

52
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.039
<v Speaker 2>as part of their investigation, officials spoke with his wife

53
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>and family members. They had no idea this was happening.

54
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Matter of fact, his best friend, who he grew up

55
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 2>and lived with part time, just he broke down and

56
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 2>started crying. I mean, the guy started sobbing when he

57
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>was interviewed. He just didn't understand at all. And to

58
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.919
<v Speaker 2>give you an idea of how strange he is, he

59
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>was born again Christian. That's not strange. Sorry about that.

60
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>He was a born again Christian and that was part

61
00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>of his and his entire philosophy and what he took

62
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>on in addition to being basically crazy. He wanted to

63
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>start a security firm, went to church every week, offer

64
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 2>to help anyone complained about the Democrats, but not in

65
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the sense of threatening. The guy just was a conservative

66
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:22.879
<v Speaker 2>and didn't like Democrats. And he went to Africa for

67
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks, came back and was trying to

68
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 2>set up a security business. And when he returned, and

69
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>this is the one that is so interesting, he took

70
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a job extracting eyeballs from dead bodies for organ donation. Now,

71
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>as a kid, right, I don't know what you ever asked.

72
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>We were asked, so, what do you want to do

73
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>when you grow up? Little girls want to be ballerinas,

74
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 2>and kids want to be cowboys and police officers and

75
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>or president of the United States. I have never heard

76
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 2>of anybody any kid asked what do you want to

77
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>do when you grow up? Say I'd like to extract

78
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>eyeballs at funeral homes for Oregon donations. That's pretty impressive.

79
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>It's just really strange. And then what he did is

80
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>he sent a text message to his best friend Carlson

81
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 2>and another friend, and this is what he said, I

82
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 2>made some choices, and you guys don't know anything about this,

83
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going to be gone for a while, maybe

84
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>dead shortly. So I just wanted to let you know

85
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I love you guys both, and I wish it hadn't

86
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 2>gone that way. Clearly, he went completely squirrely, and the

87
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 2>former speaker was just absolutely beloved, and the whole state,

88
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Tim Walls, the governor, just people were just we're really

89
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 2>really upset because you have a retired speaker who was

90
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>revered in the politics of that state. All right, we're

91
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 2>done with that. Now. This is day four of the

92
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>fight between Israel and Iran, and you have to call

93
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>it a war, but it's only with missiles and drones

94
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 2>at this point, no boots on the ground. There are

95
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 2>no attacks with tanks or personnel carrier. It's strictly being

96
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 2>done with aerial bombardment. Now, Iran doesn't have fighter planes,

97
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have bombers. What they have are drones and missiles.

98
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>That's what they have. Israel has drones and missiles and

99
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>also has a very robust anti missile defense system, and

100
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 2>it's being helped by America and other allies. They have

101
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 2>come to the aid of Israel In attempting to intercept

102
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>and have done a good job of the missiles coming in.

103
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Some have gotten through because as the Israeli say, in

104
00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.120
<v Speaker 2>all the military experts, nothing is one hundred percent to

105
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 2>what Iran does. Is sends so many. The attempt is

106
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>to overwhelm the defenses, and it works because you have

107
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a fair number that now are going through. But no

108
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 2>one's coming to Iran's aid to shoot down the Israeli

109
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 2>missiles just not happening. So what is going on, Well,

110
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 2>this is all about what Netanyao who has said that

111
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the Iran was so close to having enough fissionable material,

112
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>enough uranium that has been purified for weapons grade bombs,

113
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>And it's all about purifying uranium. You need a very

114
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 2>low level of purification to run power plants, nuclear power plants,

115
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and Iran is saying that's that's all we do. It's

116
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 2>about nuclear power plants our own. Well, that's not true.

117
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 2>They are creating fissionable material. They are purifying this erneum

118
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.439
<v Speaker 2>and bringing it up to weapons grade, and you need

119
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 2>that in order to create the toomic bomb. According to

120
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Israeli intelligency, we're days away from hitting that mark and

121
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Israel has said over and over again that Iran having

122
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the bomb is basically the death knell of Israel. Iran

123
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>has said that it's one of the most important things

124
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 2>about Iran, the government, the moo laws who run it,

125
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>is the destruction of Israel. That's it. That's what they want.

126
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.799
<v Speaker 2>It's that simple, and they're going balls to the wall

127
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 2>to get the ability to do exactly that. So to Israel,

128
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>it's an existential threat. And so they said over and

129
00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>over we cannot let Iran have the bomb. We just can't.

130
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Now what's going on with the rest of the world.

131
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot of lips service nailing Israel from all the

132
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Arab countries, but you noticed they're not coming to Iranian's aid.

133
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 2>It's just not happening. Why because the Arab countries, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,

134
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the Emirates for the most part of Iraq, are are

135
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>frightened more of Iran than they are of Israel, for sure.

136
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:29.360
<v Speaker 2>And so the centrifuge is the most important part of

137
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 2>creating the weapons grade uranium is the centrifuges. And there's

138
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.639
<v Speaker 2>a little technical wonky stuff and that it's a purification

139
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.720
<v Speaker 2>process and you need a centrifuge. And you need a centrifuge,

140
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>and you need a centrifuge, you need hundreds thousands of

141
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 2>them spinning twenty four to seven in order to bring

142
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the plutonium to the uranium up to a weapons grade purity.

143
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Those can't be gotten to without the bunker busters, these

144
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:06.840
<v Speaker 2>massive bombs that are created to go deep into the

145
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 2>ground and then explode with extraordinary power. Those are the

146
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>only way that the centrifuges are going to be put

147
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>out of commission. And Iran made it really simple, just

148
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 2>put them deep enough underground they can't be touched. And

149
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 2>the general consensus now is they weren't touched, and they're

150
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 2>not being touched by the attacks that are happening right

151
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 2>now from Israel. So and those weapons do exist, So

152
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>what's going on? Why doesn't Israel have them? And two reasons.

153
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.879
<v Speaker 2>The only people in the world that have those that

154
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>we think Russia may, but the only ones we know

155
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>are the Americans. We're the ones that create those. And

156
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the second part of that is we're the only ones

157
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>that can deliver it now sending arms to Israel, which

158
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 2>we're doing still doing across the board, moving aircraft, munitions, personnel,

159
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>carriers tanks. That is a given. They've never gotten that

160
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>bunker buster bomb. Never the United States has withheld that.

161
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>And the only way that those bunker busters can be

162
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.799
<v Speaker 2>introduced into the fight is not only the United States

163
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 2>making the decision to move them over there, but the

164
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.759
<v Speaker 2>only way they can be delivered. There's two aircraft that

165
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 2>can deliver be fifty twos, which no one really uses

166
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 2>or I don't think they would use. And the other

167
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 2>one is the B two stealth bomber that can deliver

168
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 2>that bomb. And the only way that that is going

169
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>to be used in Iran, the United States has to

170
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>get involved. It will be the United States unleashing that bomb.

171
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 2>And now we're talking about something that President Trump does

172
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 2>not want to do, and that has had the United

173
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 2>States involved in the fight. As far as supplying material

174
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>to Israel, that's sort of a given because Israel is

175
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.399
<v Speaker 2>our ally, our strongest ally in that entire region and

176
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 2>has been, and it's the only democracy, and it's something

177
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>very very close. The United States was the first country

178
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:33.799
<v Speaker 2>to recognize Israel as a matter of fact on May fifteenth,

179
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>when David Bengurion announced the creation of the State of Israel.

180
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Literally in that room that night. As he announced it,

181
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a note was handed to him in which he announced,

182
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the United States has recognized the sovereign state of Israel.

183
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>That's how close Israel has been to this country. Is

184
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 2>it going to happen? Is the bunker busters are going

185
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 2>to happen? I don't think anytime soon, because the President

186
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.080
<v Speaker 2>is pretty adamant about not getting involved. He does not

187
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 2>want to do that. Okay, so much for that. Moving on.

188
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Moving on, Homelessness in Los Angeles, particularly southern California, as

189
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, is completely crazy. I think we are the

190
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>center of homelessness and the problem in the United States

191
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a couple of reasons. First of all, it's California. Second

192
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>of all, the weather is pretty good. I don't know

193
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.039
<v Speaker 2>how many homeless people are for example, in Buffalo, New

194
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:36.919
<v Speaker 2>York during the winter, it's not very pleasant. So here

195
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 2>we are homeless. And the program, and I've said this

196
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:44.919
<v Speaker 2>many times, and that is the problem is so overwhelming

197
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.360
<v Speaker 2>that it would take so much money in order to

198
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>really make a dent. And so a lot of money

199
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:54.639
<v Speaker 2>is being thrown at this from the state and the

200
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:59.799
<v Speaker 2>city in the billions of dollars, and it's really not working.

201
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.799
<v Speaker 2>No surprise, there were settlements reached in the city with

202
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.679
<v Speaker 2>for example, the La Alliance for Human Rights sued on

203
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.879
<v Speaker 2>behalf of the homeless people, and by twenty twenty two

204
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>there should have been twenty thousand new housing solution for

205
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.519
<v Speaker 2>homeless people and removing under ten thousand dollars encampments from

206
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.799
<v Speaker 2>the streets, and it didn't happen. Now, the judge overseeing

207
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:27.600
<v Speaker 2>this whenever there is a lawsuit filed, and it's a

208
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 2>federal judge who is overseeing this and has forever. He

209
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.080
<v Speaker 2>was there walking along, for example, the Santa Anna River

210
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.759
<v Speaker 2>and walk with Todd Spitzer and looked at the encampments

211
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 2>literally in Santa Anna along the river and ruled on that.

212
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:47.720
<v Speaker 2>What the judge is doing is by tomorrow, there's a

213
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.919
<v Speaker 2>hearing tomorrow in which he decides if he's going to

214
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.399
<v Speaker 2>take away the entire homeless program in the city of

215
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles handed over to a receiver. Let's it turn

216
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 2>it over to a person who's going to run the

217
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 2>whole thing, where the city will have absolutely no say

218
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>in dealing with the homeless problem. We'll still fund it

219
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.679
<v Speaker 2>still has to be money paid, but it just won't

220
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>run it at all. So written briefs have to be

221
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 2>filed by tomorrow. And this is a lawsuit that is

222
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 2>brought together by a group of business owners, property owners, residents,

223
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>and they're asking to appoint the receiver over the one

224
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars the city alone spends addressing homelessness every year,

225
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.679
<v Speaker 2>and so the city has to defend. So does the

226
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:45.480
<v Speaker 2>city bring in the city attorneys because they have handled

227
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.639
<v Speaker 2>the case five years old. City hires a Gibson Dunn,

228
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 2>one of the premier law firms in the United States.

229
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Lawyers go for one thousand dollars an hour, I might add,

230
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 2>if not more. And this is the firm that are

231
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.919
<v Speaker 2>you in the Supreme Court. I remember the City of

232
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Grant's past case in which Supreme Court reopened the door

233
00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to arresting homeless people for illegal camping. That was illegal

234
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.639
<v Speaker 2>and that was it was. They turned it around and

235
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>made it legal to do that. I think it was Oregon.

236
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Grand's passed an Oregon Yes it is. And what happened

237
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>is at the previous hearing that just happened and the

238
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 2>judge said, by Tuesday, I want final arguments. There was

239
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a seven day hearing and on day three there were

240
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>four hundred and forty objections in one day that the

241
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:46.759
<v Speaker 2>judge overruled and said uh uh. And it has been

242
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 2>in the hundreds over seven days of objections, and it

243
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 2>is I mean, they have to decide some really narrow stuff.

244
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 2>What does encampments actually mean? Ye? Is it people that

245
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>have tents? Is it people that have, for example, cardboard boxes,

246
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:15.559
<v Speaker 2>are those encampments? Is it people that are there temporarily there?

247
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>It goes on and on to decide that the minutia,

248
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 2>and they're going into that. And if I had to guess,

249
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 2>is the judge going to hand it over a receiver. Yes,

250
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>And a receiver is going to be an independent overseer

251
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.519
<v Speaker 2>of the program, not political, just someone who has the expertise,

252
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the management expertise to do this. And Judge Carter may

253
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.880
<v Speaker 2>already have someone in mind. I'm sure he does, and

254
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.319
<v Speaker 2>will be paid a good chunk of money to do it.

255
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>And we'll run the homeless program in the city of

256
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles. But you were done because the city for

257
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:59.039
<v Speaker 2>years and years has failed miserably in dealing with it.

258
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Even though Karen Back is talking about a huge success

259
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>that she's had, no, not really, not for a billion

260
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:13.880
<v Speaker 2>dollars worth all right. There is obviously an accusation going

261
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>on that the Border Patrol is conducting roving patrols and

262
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 2>detaining not only illegal migrants, but people here are illegally,

263
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.160
<v Speaker 2>even US citizens. And there's a story in the LA

264
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Time about a guy named Brian Gavidia who was working

265
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.839
<v Speaker 2>on a car at a towyard in La arm Mass.

266
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Men Border patrol walk in there, actually rush him up

267
00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:43.680
<v Speaker 2>against put him up against metalgate and demand know where

268
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 2>he was born. He's Hispanic, and he said, I'm American, Bro,

269
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 2>And a video was taken by a friend. The agent barked,

270
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 2>what hospital were you born in? He goes, I don't know,

271
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.799
<v Speaker 2>dog East La Bro, I can show you I have

272
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:04.079
<v Speaker 2>my being real id of course, you know, using the

273
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.359
<v Speaker 2>actual you know, exploitive and this has been happening across

274
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:12.119
<v Speaker 2>southern California. Now I can't prove I'm a citizen. Who

275
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.920
<v Speaker 2>the hell keeps a passport or a birth certificate with them?

276
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But I know at hospital I was born. Uh? And

277
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the problem was is in Brazil. So uh, now what

278
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.039
<v Speaker 2>do I do? Well, what they're doing is stopping Hispanics

279
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:33.039
<v Speaker 2>to the point where contractor, I know, restaurant owners, I

280
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 2>talked to them. I talked to businesses. Uh, they were

281
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.839
<v Speaker 2>losing half their people. They were so frightened they couldn't

282
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>come in. I live in a gated community where a

283
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.039
<v Speaker 2>mile away is a dump where you have these trash

284
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 2>trucks that and people drop off. Oh you mean a

285
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.480
<v Speaker 2>literal dump. Literal No, no, it wasn't you just being snobby?

286
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 2>No no, no outside of my gated community. No no, no,

287
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it was a dump. No, no suburbia you jack. Yes. Yeah.

288
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, there were and these trucks go where construction

289
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.960
<v Speaker 2>crews come and they you know, pick up trucks and

290
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.400
<v Speaker 2>big trucks to drop off stuff at the dump. So

291
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:13.640
<v Speaker 2>there's a major street about a quarter mile leading to

292
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.640
<v Speaker 2>that dump area about a mile maybe a mile and

293
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 2>a half from me. The other day there were the

294
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.039
<v Speaker 2>ice trucks lined up with the you know, the lights

295
00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:29.839
<v Speaker 2>going on and stopping people who've looked hispanic going to

296
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:30.599
<v Speaker 2>the dump. Yeah.

297
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, with trucks, why would that be a place where

298
00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:38.599
<v Speaker 1>you'd expect to find because they're coming from construction sites.

299
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Loading loading all this detrius from construction sites, you know,

300
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 2>wood and extra cement detrius. That viterius that is a

301
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:58.720
<v Speaker 2>great word. So anyway, the Border Patrol says, no, that's

302
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:02.880
<v Speaker 2>absolutely not true. Department of Homeland Security, he says, Nope,

303
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 2>that's absolutely not true. We are not stopping people, and

304
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 2>the only ones we're arresting are criminals, and the ones

305
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that we're really getting aggressive with are those that are

306
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 2>resisting arrest and resisting our questioning. So it's just does

307
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 2>it just doesn't happen. In the meantime, the President had

308
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:27.599
<v Speaker 2>to pull back on the agriculture industry because they were

309
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:33.160
<v Speaker 2>just decimating that industry, picking it up the construction business, hospitality, Well, Neil,

310
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 2>you've talked to restaurant owners. Oh yeah, how badly are

311
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 2>they getting nailed?

312
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's interesting in certain in certain parts you've got

313
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I had a friend tell me that going to tie

314
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:49.640
<v Speaker 1>restaurants this weekend that some of them were closed because

315
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.960
<v Speaker 1>they said, we don't have the staff, the kitchen staff anymore. Yeah,

316
00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>in a Thai restaurant. So it that's why the whole

317
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 1>thing about the civil side of things, should you know,

318
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.039
<v Speaker 1>that's a different subject from the criminal side of things,

319
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>which are people that have been deported and then have

320
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.480
<v Speaker 1>come back, or people that have committed to God. But

321
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.880
<v Speaker 1>they're going after, they're sweeping. Originally it was for the

322
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 1>criminals and now but they're just sweeping across the board

323
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and picking up and questioning anybody who looks hispanic. And

324
00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like there's quotas though, because you earlier you

325
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.559
<v Speaker 1>were talking about how they're trying to do three thousand

326
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:26.079
<v Speaker 1>a day.

327
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Steve Miller, Yes, Steven Miller, that's quotas. Yep. Stephen Miller said,

328
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 2>we want to we want three thousand arrests a day.

329
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's like a fishnet basically, yeah, pretty much direct.

330
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:40.839
<v Speaker 2>And what ended up happening is the president had to

331
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:44.920
<v Speaker 2>pull back. Why is that, Well, you have big players

332
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 2>in the construction industry. We're talking about big, big players,

333
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.559
<v Speaker 2>and also in agriculture you know, CEOs, et cetera, and

334
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:57.359
<v Speaker 2>massive agriculture, not little tiny farms. It's big business. All

335
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.720
<v Speaker 2>came to him and said manufacturing all came to him

336
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:01.279
<v Speaker 2>and said, we're going to go out of business. You're

337
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:05.559
<v Speaker 2>killing our business. You are wiping out our companies just.

338
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Because everything has been woven into the fabric of places

339
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like Los Angeles.

340
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Right, And he has come back and what he has

341
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:16.240
<v Speaker 2>said is he is now a hero by pulling back.

342
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.440
<v Speaker 2>It's you know, what's up is up? So anyway is

343
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.160
<v Speaker 2>that stopping? Yeah? As of right now, the policy, the

344
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:27.359
<v Speaker 2>policy is that when it comes to hospitality, they're not

345
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:32.759
<v Speaker 2>going to go in. When it comes to agriculture, they're

346
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:35.319
<v Speaker 2>not going to come in, when it comes to construction,

347
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.599
<v Speaker 2>the government is not going to come in and grab

348
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 2>people just because they're Hispanic. And I want to point

349
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 2>something out right now, Neil Savedra, it's a Hispanic name,

350
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.119
<v Speaker 2>is not a citizen.

351
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 1>If you are listening, Ah, Bill, I had a tortilla

352
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 1>this morning. I'm planning on having tacos later and maybe

353
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 1>going out to Chemirillo. Okay, so I wouldn't worry about me, Bud,

354
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 1>all right, we're coming back.

355
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I get hobby boo, I get a lot of go

356
