The line 19 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.319 was long. Yes, we'll be telling you about that in 20 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.840 just a second. And of course, a big day today 21 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.959 because Vice President Harris is finally going to sit down 22 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.239 after more than a month since she announced that she's 23 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.879 running for president. She's going to sit down for an 24 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:35.640 interview that is happening tonight on CNN. I'll be watching. 25 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.760 I'll be parked on my couch watching because I think 26 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.000 we need to know. It's time to get information, find 27 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.079 out who this person is. Is she ready to be president? 28 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.680 Here's what's ahead on wake up call. Cell phones at 29 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.359 schools will soon be banned in California if the governor 30 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.120 signs a bill that was passed by lawmakers in Sacramento. 31 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.760 The bill would require school districts to limit or ban 32 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.159 students cell phone use during the school day. Doesn't apply 33 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.599 to during emergencies. The Phone Free Schools Act is awaiting 34 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.479 a final sign off from Governor Newsom. Districts would have 35 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.080 until July of twenty twenty six to implement it. Couldn't 36 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.680 they just say, Okay, the bill has passed, let's not 37 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.080 have the cell phones in schools like effective immediately, just 38 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.080 a thought. LA Mayor Bass has visited the iconic Langers 39 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.199 Deli near MacArthur Park to try and convince the owner 40 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.759 to stay open. Normal. Langer said earlier this week he 41 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.919 might close his business because he's fed up with the 42 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.719 city ignoring crime, homelessness, and illegal street vending. Mayor Bass 43 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.080 met with Langer on Tuesday and tried to reassure him 44 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.319 the city is taking action. The FBI says a definitive 45 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.599 motive in the assassination attempt on former President Trump has 46 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.520 not yet been established. In an update yesterday, officials say 47 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.560 the man who shot Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania 48 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.199 on July thirteenth found what they called a target of opportunity. 49 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.199 We're going to be talking more about that, about what 50 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.120 we found out, what we didn't find out from the 51 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.520 FBI with ABC's Crime and Terror analyst Brad Garrett. That's 52 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.319 coming up at five twenty, so just a little more 53 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.000 than fifteen minutes from now. We're just two weeks into 54 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.960 the school year in LA and teachers are already stressed 55 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.520 out and burned out. Jim Ryan's gonna tell us why 56 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.919 in less than five minutes. Also, we told you last 57 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.360 week about a new pizza vending machine in northern California. Well, 58 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.360 we're going out and about in search of one, and 59 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.520 guess what we found one. We'll tell you about it 60 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.000 coming up at the bottom of the art. We also 61 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.080 did a little taste test. I think you're going to 62 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.159 be happy when you hear what we found out. Let's 63 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.759 get started with some of the stories coming out of 64 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.800 the KFI twenty for our newsroom. Six people have been 65 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.039 charged for their roles in what federal prosecutors have called 66 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:47.120 crime tourism. 67 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.639 Criminals come from places like Chile where it's easy to 68 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.719 get a tourist visa to visit the US and then 69 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.960 find a network of folks ready to help them commit 70 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.560 burglaries and other thefts. LA Mayor Karen Bassay is yesterday's 71 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.639 arrest of six of those alleged helpers should help put 72 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:01.560 the community at ease. 73 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.039 This is a major step forward, and I hope that 74 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:08.120 it brings relief to our neighbors in the Los Angeles area. 75 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.159 Two of the people charged allegedly operated a rental car 76 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.479 company dedicated solely to getting burglars around the region and 77 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.160 the country in downtown LA. Michael Monks KFI News. 78 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:20.759 Two high schools in LA have been evacuated because of 79 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.160 a threat to their campuses. Shooting threats were made yesterday 80 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.879 against Birmingham Community Charter School in Van Eys and High 81 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.759 Tech Los Angeles Charter School in Lake Balboa. It's not 82 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.000 clear if the threats were credible, The Supreme Court has 83 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.839 turned down a Biden administration request to allow a student 84 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.399 loan plan to go into effect while legal challenges play out. 85 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.360 ABC's Karen Travers's The White House plans to continue to 86 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.199 defend President Biden's student debt relief plan, known as the 87 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.600 Safe Plan, which it says has helped over eight million 88 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.759 borrowers lower their monthly payments. 89 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.600 Spokesman Angelo Fernandez hernandezays in a statement, quote, we won't 90 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.079 stop fighting against Republican elected officials' efforts to raise costs 91 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.839 some millions of their own constituents student loan payments. 92 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.839 The Supreme Court kept the program on hold yesterday while 93 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.839 challenges make their way through federal court. We told you 94 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.079 last night was show Hey Otani Bobblehead night at Dodgers Stadium, 95 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.240 and the fans couldn't wait to get their hands on one. 96 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.480 The giveaway was the second Otani bobblehead this season. Long 97 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.160 lines of cars blocked streets outside the stadium for hours 98 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.160 as fans waited to get into park to get their souvenir. 99 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.000 They were being given out to the first forty thousand people. 100 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.360 The stadium holds fifty six thousand. Otani's dog decoy throughout 101 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.519 the first pitch. Love that as the Dodgers hosted the 102 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:49.279 Baltimore Orioles. Spoiler alert, the Dodgers won. Is that a spoiler? 103 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.360 The game was yesterday? Come on, let's say good morning 104 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:57.399 to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, La schools have been 105 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.160 back in session for two weeks already. The teachers are 106 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.560 stressed out and burned out. 107 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.120 Why, well, that's happening all over the country. In fact, 108 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.639 the Department of Education says that only forty two percent 109 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.639 of teachers believe their job is worth the stress that 110 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.600 they face every day. That's down dramatically from just eight 111 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.079 years ago. A lot of reasons for it, I think, 112 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.800 you know, teachers themselves and school administrators see that funding 113 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.480 has fallen off, so teachers aren't paid as well as 114 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.079 they were. Beyond that, though, a lot of states aren't 115 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.920 mandating things within schools like mental health programs for the kids, 116 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.839 schools security, you know, and yet not providing any extra 117 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.240 funding for those things. So the schools and the districts 118 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.360 are having to come up with that. But an extreme 119 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.120 case of this, just this past week came school teacher 120 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.439 down in course at count about fifty miles south of Dallas. 121 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.759 Was in her school first day of school a week 122 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.720 ago Monday, and got a call on her school radio. 123 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.360 There was a kid out of control in a classroom. 124 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:03.040 She ran down. There was having a massive tantrum, a fit, 125 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.959 I suppose in his room. Everybody had cleared out teacher 126 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.399 and the rest of the students were out of the room. 127 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.879 She went in, Candor Rogers did and the kid threw 128 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.120 a chair at her. She caught the chair or deflected it. 129 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.560 Then he threw a wooden hangar at her. A coat 130 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.839 hanger hit her in the eye, knocked the eye out 131 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:19.439 of the socket. 132 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:20.399 Oh my god. 133 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.839 She was flown up to the hospital in Dallas, to 134 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.759 a Parkland hospital where the doctors say that the blindness 135 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:31.279 is going to be permanent. The kid is eleven years old. 136 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.519 Candor Rogers, this assistant principal doesn't blame the kid, doesn't 137 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.439 doesn't blame the teachers or the parents. She says this 138 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.079 is a result of reduced funding or a lack of 139 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.319 new funding from the state. She says that if they 140 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.120 had had programs in place to catch this kid's mental 141 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.079 illness beforehand, or metal problems or stresses on that kid, 142 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.759 it might have contributed to a different outcome for her. Well, 143 00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:57.240 it didn't. 144 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.040 That's really interesting that she blames it on school funding, 145 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:06.480 because I would blame it on parents not paying attention. Yeah, 146 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.480 and teachers being restricted to what you know, can they 147 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.800 discipline kids so you can't even kick a kid out 148 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.360 of class anymore in some places. 149 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.839 Well, this kid, I mean was totally out of control 150 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:19.399 and a physical assault on teachers and kids, and you 151 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.879 know at some point, Yeah, and this was what Rogers was. 152 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.040 She was there to try to calm him down, get 153 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.319 him in custody, or get him somehow to quit tearing 154 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.519 up the room that he was in, and she caught 155 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.879 this wooden hanger right in the eye. 156 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:37.200 Oh my gosh, that's so sad. So yeah, and less 157 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.679 than half of the teachers think it's worth it, which 158 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.840 is just really a sad thing because I remember what 159 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.679 it is like when we were kids. We used to go, oh, 160 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.759 being a teacher would be cool. You get to help 161 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.320 kids shape their futures. 162 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.960 And yeah, they were at least respected, I think. 163 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.120 Yeah. 164 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.399 Separate set of Gallup says that four in ten k 165 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.279 through twelve workers in the US, that's teachers principals teachers' 166 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.679 ages say they all or very often feel burned out 167 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.600 at work. That outpaces all other industries around the country. 168 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:12.279 So teachers, even radio, yeah, even radio. 169 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.039 So is there anything that parents can do or the 170 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.600 schools can do to I mean, it just seems like 171 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.120 it's a societal thing. But is there anything that can 172 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.000 be done to maybe help a little bit? 173 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:25.679 I think you're right right, I mean, but first of all, 174 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.440 writing to your state representatives and demanding that the teacher 175 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.440 pay be increased or the funding to school districts be increased. 176 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.159 Getting involved in the PTA, right, even if if it's 177 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.960 your grandkid in school, Not just necessarily your kid, but 178 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.360 getting involved in the school. Letting the teachers know that 179 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:47.759 they're appreciated by parental and guardian support of what's happening there. 180 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.399 I think that's a good way to show up to 181 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.159 I mean, posters as much as anything else. But at 182 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:55.759 the same time, and pat on the back goes a 183 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.639 long way for a teacher who's feeling stressed about forty 184 00:09:58.639 --> 00:09:59.440 percent of the time. 185 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.360 So support the teachers, let them know that you support 186 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.080 them exactly. I don't think necessarily increasing a paycheck is 187 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.600 going to bring job satisfaction. But I think it's that support. Sure, 188 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.639 you know I've heard, but money never hurts. 189 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:15.240 Yeah. 190 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:18.559 I think on top of that, you're right that this 191 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:23.480 moral booster of showing support for the teachers, letting them 192 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.879 know that they are appreciated them. You know, teachers are 193 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.840 into a lot of stress and I think a lot 194 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.679 of them feel kind of isolated out there. 195 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:35.399 Yeah, So as parents, community members, let your teachers know 196 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.519 that you support them, because I think you know, by 197 00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.679 and large, they're all. You know, they're great, They're teaching 198 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.279 our children, they're shaping them for the future. 199 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:47.360 Yeah, what what job is more important than that? 200 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.600 Exactly? The radio right abec's Jim Ryan, thanks so much 201 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.759 for the update. Yeah, all right, let's get back to 202 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:56.639 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 203 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.960 four hour newsroom. A guy sentenced to five years in 204 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.759 prison for a series of road rage attacks in La 205 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.840 County has been let out after less than one year. 206 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.440 The La County DA's office has been criticized for Nathaniel 207 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.960 Radamac's early release. This woman, who was in a car 208 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.799 radomac attacked with a steel pipe, says District Attorney Gascon 209 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.600 should have done more the communication with the DA's office 210 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.440 has been poor throughout this process. The sentence was cut short. 211 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.360 Radamac was arrested in January of last year. Some of 212 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.279 the attacks were recorded on dash camps. In at least 213 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.759 two cases, he was seen getting out of his tesla 214 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.120 and bashing vehicles with a metal pipe. The Santa Monica 215 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.440 City Council has postponed a vote on whether to ban 216 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:39.759 people from sleeping in public spaces. 217 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.000 The ban would make it illegal for people to sleep 218 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.159 on streets with blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags. This woman 219 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.960 says she's pretty sure she's seen homeless people dying in 220 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.279 the streets, and the band might just help them get 221 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.759 the help they desperately need. 222 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:55.759 Their brains, their nutrition. There's nothing on the street that's 223 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.240 going to help someone help them solved. 224 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.080 The proposal comes after a Supreme Court ruling in June 225 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:04.360 that allows cities to criminalize people for sleeping in public areas. 226 00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.960 The councils expected to vote on the band by September tenth. 227 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:12.679 Chris Adler KFI News Republican vice presidential nominee jd Vance 228 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.320 has gone after Vice President Harris over the Biden administration's 229 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.480 withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen US service members were killed at 230 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.200 Kabl Airport in twenty twenty one as the US was 231 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.840 pulling out. Vance says more should have been done to 232 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.159 hold government officials accountable for the chaotic withdrawal. 233 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:31.039 I don't think you've. 234 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.000 Ever had an American military disaster in the history of. 235 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.240 The country that's of that scale. 236 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.360 Thirteen dead Americans who should still be alive, and not 237 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:40.639 a single person's been fired. 238 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:41.639 I just don't understand that. 239 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:44.840 And Van says Vice President Harris won't do an investigation 240 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.639 into what happened at Afghanistan's Abbey Gate. A lake in 241 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:53.399 northern California has been turned pink to help scientists. Researchers 242 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.759 from the California Department of Water Resources died McLoud Lake 243 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.919 because two years ago an algae bloom turn the waters 244 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:04.240 bright green. So this year the lake is fine. The 245 00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.200 Department of Water Resources says that die is harmless, but 246 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.440 it's going to help scientists understand how the lake behaves. 247 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.200 The goal is predict and then prevent future algae blooms 248 00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:18.399 that can hurt humans, pets, and wildlife.

The alleged 258 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:47.399 leaders are from the Santa Clarita Valley. Police say they've 259 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.639 robbed homes and stores in the Southland and laundered millions 260 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.519 of dollars in cash and valuables.

Yelp 267 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.799 alleges in its lawsuit filed yesterday, in San Francisco that 268 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:23.120 Google used its monopoly to dominate advertising and manipulate search results. 269 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:26.960 Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled that Google violated 270 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.240 US anti trust laws and had monopolized the search market. 271 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.720 At six oh five, it's handle all the news. The 272 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.799 big day has arrived. Vice President Kamala Harris is going 273 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.840 to sit down for an interview, her first one in 274 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.720 more than a month since announcing that she will be 275 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:46.720 running for president. Let's say good morning now to ABC's 276 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:51.759 Brad Garrett. So, Brad, the FBI has released details about 277 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.720 their investigation into the young man who tried to assassinate 278 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.720 former President Trump. So what did they say and what 279 00:14:57.799 --> 00:14:58.559 did they not say? 280 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:04.000 So they basically talked about online searches by the shooter, 281 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:08.720 things like how far was Oswald from Kennedy? Where will 282 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:12.840 President Trump speak from at the Butler Farm Show? And 283 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.440 it goes on and on with sort of variations of that, 284 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:21.000 he did sixty searches on President Trump's and Biden, He 285 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.360 did churches on the searches on the RNC, the DNC. 286 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:30.000 But you know, when you look at these search entries, 287 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.639 I mean, none of this stuff is a red flag. 288 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:37.440 I mean even searching or ordering the components to a bomb. 289 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.720 The components individually aren't a bomb that you and I 290 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.919 and obviously he did. You can order them when you 291 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.080 make it into a bomb. It's illegal. But I mean, 292 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:50.360 these are types of searches that are did millions of 293 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.879 people do every day for for different reasons than obviously 294 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:55.840 this kid was headed. 295 00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:56.879 You know. 296 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.200 The other important thing that they said is that they 297 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.039 just haven't found a motive. And you know, but that 298 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.519 was my concern early on in this case, because nobody 299 00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.000 said they've found any online profile, they didn't find a manifesto, 300 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.279 they hadn't interviewed anybody that this kid had, you know, 301 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:17.840 talked about going and committing a mass shooting, in particular 302 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:23.080 shooting somebody famous. And so I think they released all 303 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.919 this information because of the the volumes of misinformation that 304 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.480 are being put out on this particular story. Now that 305 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.039 of course happens every day. The spin factor of trying 306 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.480 to turn things into something they aren't is an everyday 307 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.159 occurrence unfortunately well, and. 308 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.720 Also in the absence of information, people will fill in 309 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:46.360 the gaps. And don't you think that's how the all 310 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.639 these conspiracy things get going Because we don't have the information, 311 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.240 and so they're like, oh, well it could be this, 312 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.879 it could be that, and they start trying to get 313 00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:57.000 they they're looking for answers. 314 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:01.279 Right, That's that's clear. But I think that's why the 315 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:05.759 FBI held this conference, this news conference yesterday, was to 316 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.440 give us at least more information. 317 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.000 You know. 318 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:10.960 I'm sure it's not everything they know, but I think 319 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.279 it gives you sort of a clear indicator that you know, 320 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.559 this kid is alone actor, there's nobody else involved. That 321 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.119 he was looking and these are my words, not theirs. 322 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.359 He was just looking for somebody famous to shoot, based 323 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.400 on you know what they found on his phone back 324 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.839 several weeks ago, you know, pictures of the President, Biden, Farmer, 325 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.759 President Trump, the Princess of Wales. There was a couple 326 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:40.160 of other well known people on his phone. Again, I 327 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.319 think looking for a particular target that would you get 328 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:47.519 a lot of media attention because of who they are. 329 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.480 And that's not uncommon in mass shooters, even the ones 330 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:55.799 that go to their own schools. They may or may 331 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.240 not go there to shoot a particular teacher or person. 332 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.920 They want to be famous in their own realm, and 333 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.680 there's some of that going on with this kid in 334 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:06.400 my view. 335 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:09.359 Yeah, And so you're saying there's no indication that he 336 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:13.680 had ties to anyone, and that there's still no motive 337 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:19.480 because like all the searches that the FBI did talk 338 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:24.160 about yesterday and showing that they're all benign if they're 339 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:29.960 done individually, how do you stop something like this from happening? 340 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.359 How do you profile and find somebody who might do this? 341 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:39.599 Well, I'm not sure that you do. There's no information, 342 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:44.599 there's no information out there, and that nobody came forward. 343 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.920 Now did this kid say anything to anybody? I don't know. 344 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.240 I mean, he's an unusual kid, apparently super super smart, 345 00:18:54.839 --> 00:18:59.319 but a big time loner. I mean there was earlier 346 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:04.759 information even at the elder care facility he worked at, 347 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.039 he would eat alone. In other words, this is a 348 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.599 kid that's just out there alone, which is always, you know, 349 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.759 not a healthy sign, even if you're not going to 350 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:18.119 go harm anybody. But I guess the point being being odd, 351 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.119 being super smart, doing these searches, not telling anybody what 352 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.799 you're going to do, and just planning it in your 353 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.960 own head. I mean, what's law enforcement going to do 354 00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:28.359 with that? 355 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:29.200 Now? 356 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.480 The different side of this story unrelated to this part 357 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.920 is should he have been stopped at the scene, And 358 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.680 the answer is yes, he never should have gotten to 359 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.200 the position he got into that he should have been 360 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.400 stopped before that. But that's a that's a separate investigation 361 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.759 in what you and I are talking about. 362 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:47.880 Yeah, And they didn't talk about that yesterday, right, They 363 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.880 were just really releasing the information about the shooter. 364 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.480 Right, And that's really more on the Secret Service to do. Yeah, 365 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:58.279 because that's the that's their world. 366 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:02.319 Gotcha. And should the FBI be releasing any more information 367 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.359 or is this pretty standard or actually not that standard 368 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.720 that they're releasing information at all? But do you think 369 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.759 that they they help their cause, hurt their cause? 370 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.480 Or it's hard to say. I mean, people who buy 371 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:17.839 in the conspiracy theories are going to continue to listen 372 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.200 to news feeds or individuals that tell them wise or 373 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:26.720 just fabricated information. That's going to continue no matter what 374 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.319 the FBI does. But I applaud them for doing this. 375 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.599 My guess is they get if they get more or 376 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:35.599 have more information they can that they can release, they'll 377 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:35.880 do it. 378 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:38.839 Yeah. I would imagine it's frustrating for them too.

And her sister were 387 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.640 able to push the man away and get help.
