Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app. I want to say a
Speaker 1: quick thank you to several of the listeners reached out
Speaker 1: to me on social media yesterday to make sure I
Speaker 1: was okay and wishing me well.
Speaker 2: So don't you love that was.
Speaker 3: So kind? Yeah, so thank you to those who reached out.
Speaker 3: I am just fine. I'm here. I'm back with even
Speaker 3: more gusto.
Speaker 2: Fight fight, fight, fight, I love it.
Speaker 3: You're just calling for a fight between me and debor Mark.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought that'd be cool.
Speaker 4: Fight fight, fight, and fight so bad you almost see
Speaker 4: you're so bad.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It would have been fun for me and the listeners
Speaker 4: that would follow us on them. So apparently, as Gary
Speaker 4: and Channon say off in Newsome must have been listening
Speaker 4: to the program You and I on Monday had Ranchos
Speaker 4: Pales Verdes mayor John Crookshank on and he was just
Speaker 4: apoplectic at the point.
Speaker 2: He's just like, I don't know what else to do.
Speaker 4: We've been telling them, we've been calling trying to get
Speaker 4: a hold of the governor and to have him declare
Speaker 4: a state of emergency.
Speaker 2: Now, why that's important is we know that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, money the funds right, money that opens the door
Speaker 4: that those words opens the door and the coffers to
Speaker 4: all of the needs that you could have under that.
Speaker 4: You know, it frees up money, it frees up resources,
Speaker 4: and it actually gets things moving.
Speaker 3: Well, it puts a dent and what they need.
Speaker 1: That is for sure because Chris Adler, we just had
Speaker 1: her report on and she was saying how the money
Speaker 1: that now will come to RPV will help about two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five households there are there was one
Speaker 1: hundred and something that we're completely cut off from power
Speaker 1: of one hundred and forty homes on Sunday and then
Speaker 1: another one hundred and five on Monday.
Speaker 4: So you've got the Portuguese Bend community with those one
Speaker 4: hundred and forty homes. Then it went to the Seaview
Speaker 4: community on Monday. That's those one hundred and five houses.
Speaker 4: You were speaking of fifty three businesses there in Portuguese
Speaker 4: Bend as well, and you know, I didn't know this
Speaker 4: until yesterday, but Portuguese Bend they do not have access
Speaker 4: to the plumbing or you know, sewer or anything like that.
Speaker 2: They don't have that, but in seaview they do. They do.
Speaker 5: So it's oh, in a huge mass, it's a jigsaw. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: there exactly. And you look at those photos again that
Speaker 5: are dramatic. You see it looks like a movie set
Speaker 5: kind of because imagine all of the houses sitting what
Speaker 5: appeared to be fine, but the entire cul de sac
Speaker 5: or road is completely destroyed and sunkn.
Speaker 3: It looks like an earthquake kit in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a significant earthquake, something massive took place.
Speaker 1: And you know, John Crookshank has been the mayor out
Speaker 1: there has been you know, calling for help. This has
Speaker 1: been weeks, if not longer than a month. And then
Speaker 1: finally we got the response from Governor Newsom yesterday to
Speaker 1: officially declare state of emergency, so that will help.
Speaker 3: Will it be enough?
Speaker 1: And then also the inevitable, the inevitable is how do
Speaker 1: you shore up the land?
Speaker 3: How do you stop this from happening?
Speaker 1: And actually yesterday afternoon, John Colebalt had on John Crookshank
Speaker 1: and asked that very question. And basically, there are some ways.
Speaker 1: There are some homes that have already been redtagged. I
Speaker 1: mean they're they're literally like broken, right. So those are done,
Speaker 1: but a vast majority of the land there are ways
Speaker 1: to basically stop this, and that's why he's also gone
Speaker 1: to because he wasn't getting help from the government officials.
Speaker 1: That's why he went to Tesla. That's why other private
Speaker 1: companies have reached out to help. So there is there
Speaker 1: is the movement down there literally figuratively the land movement,
Speaker 1: but the movement to help shore this up because this
Speaker 1: landslide has been active since I believe it's nineteen fifty six, since.
Speaker 3: Nineteen fifties, for decades.
Speaker 1: It's just that all the rain that we had last winter,
Speaker 1: it just saturated the land and made it that much
Speaker 1: more vulnerable. And now here we are and it's just
Speaker 1: a foot a week. The land is moving.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you break that out and you're looking at
Speaker 4: an inch and a half or so on the daily.
Speaker 4: With this comes hopefully solutions. The support of the state
Speaker 4: could mean an additional five million dollars secured from the
Speaker 4: county local leaders. Everybody is brainstorming how to do this because,
Speaker 4: like you said, kind of like the jigsaw puzzle.
Speaker 2: The reality is, I don't care if you have power
Speaker 2: or not. Because your house is sliding.
Speaker 4: But that is one more thing that can be done
Speaker 4: to keep people in the homes in their homes for now.
Speaker 4: And as they're figuring out what they're going to do,
Speaker 4: I'm I'm pretty dire about it in one way, because
Speaker 4: i land shifting is a big, big deal. Something been
Speaker 4: going on for a long time. They hadn't solved it
Speaker 4: in the decades. Now it's at this it's moving exponentially,
Speaker 4: so you know it is how you're going to shore
Speaker 4: that up when we are really putting our fingers on
Speaker 4: problems the electricity, the gas, the water, but ultimately the
Speaker 4: floor is moving and that's problem.
Speaker 1: You can't help but feel for those families though, that
Speaker 1: that is generational. I mean we heard from some last
Speaker 1: night on Fox eleven. They had a city council meeting,
Speaker 1: a community meeting, and a lot of these people literally
Speaker 1: have been there for forty fifty years. You know, it's
Speaker 1: been in their family for that long and so now
Speaker 1: on a moment's notice. The other thing with so Cal
Speaker 1: Addison not giving a lot of time, it's literally a
Speaker 1: twenty four hour notice. Your power everything's gone in twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, So figure it out.
Speaker 4: Well, when you're moving in an inch and change every day.
Speaker 4: Those things are going to change pretty rapidly. This is
Speaker 4: not something there's I know, it's unprecedented. I'm sick of
Speaker 4: that word since about twenty twenty so, but the reality
Speaker 4: is there's not a playbook for this in any way,
Speaker 4: shape or form. They're not going, hey, where's our town
Speaker 4: sliding into the ocean?
Speaker 2: Playbook?
Speaker 4: And in this particular case, there's just so many moving
Speaker 4: parts literally that you have to look at, and it's
Speaker 4: beyond just electricity.
Speaker 1: Newsom's not off the hook, though, because they're still saying, Okay, great,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for the you know, paperwork that you
Speaker 1: did for this that we've been asking for a long time,
Speaker 1: but can you please come here?
Speaker 3: Can you please see this for yourself?
Speaker 1: So they're still asking him to make the trek down.
Speaker 3: It's not that far.
Speaker 2: Do you think he's going? Is it? Jeans? Do I
Speaker 2: go with dockers? Do I? You know? Maybe it's just
Speaker 2: the out again.
Speaker 3: They're not dockers.
Speaker 1: What Captain Hansome, he doesn't use your phrase, is not
Speaker 1: wearing dockers?
Speaker 2: No, No, it's what's the expense of a quick equivalent.
Speaker 3: Of a docker?
Speaker 2: Come on?
Speaker 1: Oh, Gosh, you're gonna get me on that one, Debor
Speaker 1: Mark Amy King.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you knew that, you knew the the high end jeans,
Speaker 4: but not the dockers. What do you wear to a
Speaker 4: sinking town if you're governor and you're worried? Okay, maybe
Speaker 4: it's the jeans and the rolled up his shirt sleeves.
Speaker 4: We'll have to see we should we should do some better.
Speaker 4: Not the long sleeve unbuttoned at the top with the
Speaker 4: sleeves rolled up.
Speaker 3: That works too.
Speaker 2: Let's put some money on the table.
Speaker 3: Send us a message on the talk back. I like
Speaker 3: to promote that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you enjoy the talk back?
Speaker 6: Why not?
Speaker 2: Yeah, come talk back at us. Yes, very easy.
Speaker 4: Go to the iHeartRadio app that you're probably listening to
Speaker 4: us on right now. There's a little icon, a red
Speaker 4: circle with a white microphone and you can press that
Speaker 4: and it gives you thirty seconds to say whatever you
Speaker 4: would like.
Speaker 2: All right, so.
Speaker 4: We are going to go to our very own Michael
Speaker 4: Monks talking about the pillowcase rapist.
Speaker 2: Hey Michael, Hey, good morning, Neil, Good morning Marla.
Speaker 4: So you know John and Ken had I think went
Speaker 4: out to the house in Landcaster at one point bring
Speaker 4: us up to speed on this violent sexual predator who
Speaker 4: will be released.
Speaker 1: Because this is something Michael good to talk to you.
Speaker 1: This is something that I covered up in the Bay
Speaker 1: Area many years ago when this was talked about when
Speaker 1: he may be released, and so here we are, all
Speaker 1: these years.
Speaker 7: Later, not just release, but release again. This is someone
Speaker 7: who has been put out before, reoffended the first time,
Speaker 7: and then violated conditions of his release the second time.
Speaker 7: And that second time was when he was living in
Speaker 7: that area you reference. He had a home that he
Speaker 7: was placed in in Palmdale, And so now again residents
Speaker 7: of the Antelope Valley are expressing concern about the so
Speaker 7: called pillowcase rapist Christopher Hubbard coming back into their community.
Speaker 7: He first committed rapes that he was convicted of back
Speaker 7: in nineteen seventy two, and then was released after serving
Speaker 7: eleven years, and did it again and was put back
Speaker 7: in state custody in nineteen eighty three, and then after
Speaker 7: serving many more years, he was placed in a state
Speaker 7: hospital for a long time before being released in the
Speaker 7: mid twenty tens and then violating conditions of his release.
Speaker 7: A little unclear exactly what he did, but it had
Speaker 7: to do with some of the mandatory lie detector tests
Speaker 7: that he took about his feelings and his thoughts, and
Speaker 7: the state decided that it was best that he'd be
Speaker 7: placed in custody again. This is someone who has committed
Speaker 7: at least thirty eight rapes and sexual assaults and he's
Speaker 7: probably in his early seventies now, if the math is correct,
Speaker 7: and could be back out in the public again at
Speaker 7: a home in the Analope Balletley specifically Juniper Hills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and La County District Attorney's Office they put out
Speaker 1: a statement a few minutes ago basically saying, hey, this
Speaker 1: could be happening. They objected to this officially back in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, so just last year. And then, of course,
Speaker 1: who represents the Annealope Valley in Para Blossom area, that
Speaker 1: is La County Supervisor Catherine Barger and Michael Catherine Barker
Speaker 1: has been very vocal about what she wants local residents.
Speaker 2: To do exactly both.
Speaker 7: The District Attorney's office has put out a statement saying
Speaker 7: that we oppose this. This is unjust, first of all,
Speaker 7: and it's also unfair to the Analope Valley. They don't
Speaker 7: deserve to have a convicted repeat sexual offender back in
Speaker 7: their area, and Catherine Barger, the supervisor who represents that
Speaker 7: district here in La County, has also called on the
Speaker 7: public to participate in a comment period. So there is
Speaker 7: a period of time where the DA's office is collecting
Speaker 7: input from the public, and that can happen by emailing
Speaker 7: SVP comments at DA dot La County dot gov. That
Speaker 7: is the way that folks very concerned about this can
Speaker 7: speak their mind about it. There is a community meeting,
Speaker 7: a town council meeting in Juniper Hills today. The DA's
Speaker 7: office is expected to have a representative there to collect
Speaker 7: input in person. They'll be collecting input through September twenty fourth,
Speaker 7: and then a hearing at the LA Superior Courthouse in
Speaker 7: Hollywood is scheduled for next month and that is where
Speaker 7: a final decision will be made on October first about
Speaker 7: whether this goes through.
Speaker 4: Michael seems so stupid. What are they gonna do with
Speaker 4: those comments? Do they assume they're gonna get a bunch
Speaker 4: of yeah, bring them here? I mean, what is the
Speaker 4: problem why they're not going to get a lot of
Speaker 4: love for this decision. They're not gonna say yes, we
Speaker 4: want this guy in here, he's a repeat offender that
Speaker 4: as you said, they're not even giving information is to
Speaker 4: what the parole violation or whatever it might have been
Speaker 4: on the last time. But the individuals a problem probably
Speaker 4: shouldn't be let out at all.
Speaker 2: But at this point, where what are they expecting.
Speaker 4: Is this just a dog and pony show to say, hey,
Speaker 4: leave your comments here they mean a lot to us,
Speaker 4: or is this you know, shoring up there an argument
Speaker 4: to say no, we can't have them in that neighborhood.
Speaker 7: There's precedent for the public reaction to Christopherhubbert being released
Speaker 7: as well. When he was in Palmdale, there were regular
Speaker 7: protests outside the home in which he was placed. In fact,
Speaker 7: his attorneys cited that as a reason for his mental decline,
Speaker 7: that he was having difficulties adjusting because of the constant
Speaker 7: protest outside his home. So I don't think the state
Speaker 7: expects much in the way of support. You know, in
Speaker 7: our legal system, we have laws. If you violate them,
Speaker 7: they are corresponding penalties, and it's difficult sometimes for folks
Speaker 7: to accept that, you know, the penalty threshold has been met.
Speaker 7: You might in a generic case have folks on either
Speaker 7: side saying yes, they committed the crime, they served time,
Speaker 7: or other people saying that sentence should have been longer.
Speaker 7: This is an extreme case where there are multiple precedents
Speaker 7: that established this is someone who reoffended again in a
Speaker 7: violent way against women. Call him the pillowcase rapists because
Speaker 7: he often used pillowcases to muffle the screams of these
Speaker 7: women and then violated the conditions of his release the
Speaker 7: second time he got a chance to be somewhat free
Speaker 7: out in the community, So don't expect a lot of
Speaker 7: public support coming his way.
Speaker 1: The ruling from the Santa Clara Superior Court, what was
Speaker 1: their reasoning and deciding that this would be a good idea.
Speaker 7: These folks who are placed in the mental hospitals for
Speaker 7: these long evaluations, there are metrics that might be difficult
Speaker 7: for us to understand because we're not in that field.
Speaker 7: But apparently those metrics have been met enough to say
Speaker 7: that this is someone who can be released. Let's make
Speaker 7: it clear they're not suggesting that he gets his own
Speaker 7: apartment in a building where he has free reign. Last
Speaker 7: time he was released, there was an ankle monitor, he
Speaker 7: wasn't allowed to access adult content on the internet, and
Speaker 7: he had to submit to regular random searches and also
Speaker 7: these light detector tests, and it was those light detector
Speaker 7: tests apparently that did him.
Speaker 2: And last time.
Speaker 7: You can expect that if he is released this time,
Speaker 7: there would be similar restrictions put in place.
Speaker 3: I would hope so. I would certainly hope so.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying this is just based on the
Speaker 1: fact that he's already been released and then he violated
Speaker 1: that and offended again. The number of at least thirty
Speaker 1: eight women raped is pretty stunning.
Speaker 7: He's somebody that has continued to struggle, obviously as recently
Speaker 7: as twenty seventeen when he was undergoing some of these
Speaker 7: light detector tests with expressing his thoughts and whether his
Speaker 7: mentality towards these issues had shifted at all, And apparently
Speaker 7: they haven't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know that, as you were saying, if they
Speaker 4: have their own system of looking for red flags and
Speaker 4: the like, don't need a machine to tell me to
Speaker 4: get a red flag. And a guy who committed thirty
Speaker 4: eight rapes but that's just an email.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And the light detector test doesn't even hold
Speaker 3: up in court.
Speaker 4: No, but in this case, I guess you know it's
Speaker 4: for psychological purposes, and not because it was part of
Speaker 4: the evaluation.
Speaker 7: Apparently he was trying to manipulate it in some way.
Speaker 7: I don't know the science behind light detector tests, forgive me,
Speaker 7: but what I read at the time was that he
Speaker 7: was someone who could take long, labored breaths and that
Speaker 7: could alter some of it when he was answering difficult questions.
Speaker 7: And he could also put some pressure on one of
Speaker 7: the devices around his wrist measuring his heart rate. That
Speaker 7: could also alter some of his the determination of some
Speaker 7: of his result responses.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was all They call it the box, but
Speaker 4: those things have changed over the years. But there had
Speaker 4: been all kinds of methods back in the day that
Speaker 4: I the criminals would use. One was a thumb in
Speaker 4: the shoe, and so it causes the body to go
Speaker 4: into distress when you're telling the truth, and then that
Speaker 4: becomes the constant or the control, and then it throws
Speaker 4: off every other marker. There used to be all these
Speaker 4: crazy ways that people would try and beat the box,
Speaker 4: as they say, But that is pretty interesting, leaning on
Speaker 4: certain parts and the like. Well, thank you, Michael, keep
Speaker 4: us posting on how this goes, because that is a
Speaker 4: very scary prospect to think that someone like this would
Speaker 4: be in a regular neighborhood.
Speaker 2: I certainly will, thinks Neil, Thanks Marla, thank you.
Speaker 4: Our very own Michael Monks in regards to that sexual predator,
Speaker 4: violent sexual predator possibly being released in the Antelope Valley,
Speaker 4: and of course they don't want any of that, all right,
Speaker 4: to stick around a speed limit story, This is a
Speaker 4: bill that is interesting in a couple of ways, one
Speaker 4: of which I thought it already existed. But imagine your
Speaker 4: car telling on you, I guess is because a rat.
Speaker 3: You're going too fast.
Speaker 4: You're going to fast? Kids, slow down? What do you
Speaker 4: think about this?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's almost a moot point, because I
Speaker 1: feel like most or any many, I should say, of
Speaker 1: new vehicles already have this.
Speaker 4: Okay, So this new bill, waiting approval from Governor Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 4: wants to require vehicles to include a warning system to
Speaker 4: alert drivers in time they're more than ten miles over
Speaker 4: the speed limit, and this requirement would go into effect
Speaker 4: twenty twenty thirty models rather all new vehicles. The exceptions
Speaker 4: would be emergency vehicles, motorcycles, motorized bicycles, mopeds, and pasteer
Speaker 4: vehicles already equipped with GPS for front facing cameras. But
Speaker 4: you know, I was on the East Coast with my
Speaker 4: family back in July and we rented a car and
Speaker 4: it had this and the way it it took me
Speaker 4: a minute to figure it out because it was interesting.
Speaker 4: What it would do is it had the actual speed
Speaker 4: limit as a sign, you know, the signs you see
Speaker 4: on the side of the road with the speed limit.
Speaker 4: It would have that icon yes, and then that icon
Speaker 4: would turn red if I was above the speed limit
Speaker 4: and that and and so when I I guess that's
Speaker 4: going to be the car.
Speaker 3: Points already there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Toyota uses such a system already in the
Speaker 1: United States. European Union already requires the tech on their
Speaker 1: new vehicles, so the use already requiring this. Toyota uses
Speaker 1: it in my car the same thing where it just
Speaker 1: goes to red. If you are I actually happen, it's
Speaker 1: a lot I do happen to have a ledshoes.
Speaker 2: It's really weird. It goes read the whole time, it
Speaker 2: goes out of red.
Speaker 3: Everything it goes to be read. So I think that's
Speaker 3: the Yeah, I do. Admittedly I do drive too fast
Speaker 3: and one of those.
Speaker 1: So to require this now the pushback by the way
Speaker 1: from Republican lawmakers because it got zero support by the way,
Speaker 1: when the legislation recently passes the state Senate at twenty
Speaker 1: six to nine in the Assembly forty seven to seventeen
Speaker 1: without support from Republican lawmakers. Their concerns are that the
Speaker 1: technology could distract drivers and create more problems.
Speaker 2: It didn't distract.
Speaker 3: It doesn't distract me either, know.
Speaker 2: I think you know it's not going to physically limit
Speaker 2: the car.
Speaker 3: The cell phone is the biggest distraction.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you mentioned your speed speedometer you've got
Speaker 4: on there, You're already there's a lot of different things
Speaker 4: that you already see. You know, if you need oil,
Speaker 4: it's going to pop on too. You know, people ignore
Speaker 4: the engine light when it comes on, so they all
Speaker 4: ignore this too. I don't think it's distracting. I think
Speaker 4: that's kind of a lame response to it. I don't know.
Speaker 2: You have to be aware, yes, but you have to care.
Speaker 4: Second, you have to give rodents behind about speeding in
Speaker 4: the first place.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: I don't think you're a jerk. I don't think you're going, Hey,
Speaker 4: let's see how fast I can get this thing going.
Speaker 8: No, no, I'm not.
Speaker 3: I hope I'm not driving one hundred miles per hour.
Speaker 2: But no, I do the same thing.
Speaker 4: You lean on it at times in a long stretch
Speaker 4: or something like that, and you go, whoah, I didn't
Speaker 4: know I was going that fast.
Speaker 3: That's easy to do.
Speaker 4: That would help me. And it did remind me of
Speaker 4: speed at this speed. But I also have to care
Speaker 4: on top of that and go, oh, I should slow
Speaker 4: down instead of well, I wonder if I can get
Speaker 4: this thing up a little faster.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now this was written by.
Speaker 1: State Senator Scott Wiener out of San Francisco. He wrote
Speaker 1: the bill, and this is all because of what they
Speaker 1: call a traffic safety crisis. More than four thousand Californians
Speaker 1: die every year and traffic collisions on our roadways. They
Speaker 1: say this is a dramatic increase from pre pandemic levels
Speaker 1: and speeding is a major factor and one third of
Speaker 1: these fatalities.
Speaker 4: You know what freaks me out more than that, and
Speaker 4: that is a concern is hit and run seemed after
Speaker 4: the pandemic or during.
Speaker 3: The talk about not caring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing to me that I'm more concerned about.
Speaker 3: If you don't have a conscience. You just you hit
Speaker 3: and run. I don't know how that's actually possible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that to me was more freakish. Yes, speed,
Speaker 4: we need to slow down all and we all do it.
Speaker 4: We all get in those you know, you say that
Speaker 4: that you do that, But the reality is most people do.
Speaker 4: Most people don't aren't aware of their speed. They kind
Speaker 4: of go with the quote unquote speed of the traffic.
Speaker 4: Unless they've got somewhere to be, then they go however
Speaker 4: fast they need to code to get.
Speaker 1: Home, although around here you can't even go the speed
Speaker 1: limit because there's so much traffic.
Speaker 4: No, but that, you've ever been driving out of Los
Speaker 4: Angeles into Orange County and you get near the House
Speaker 4: of the Mouse where the money is, and it goes
Speaker 4: from like four lanes to fourteen lanes and the blink
Speaker 4: of an eye and everybody's everybody just kind of spreads
Speaker 4: out like like.
Speaker 2: Bugs into their own lane and start.
Speaker 3: Hauling, you know, second gear to third to fourth really quickly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: By the way, Oh, my wife has famously said many
Speaker 4: many times that if it's not a manual, it's not
Speaker 4: a real car.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I love driving stick.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's been a long time in La You can
Speaker 1: I mean to drive stick in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: That makes you a hero?
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, I mean learning how to you want to
Speaker 1: learn how.
Speaker 3: To drive stick?
Speaker 1: You you go up and down Patrero Hill, you go
Speaker 1: up and down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have sick in San Francisco. And I have
Speaker 4: also gone through many pairs of underwear driving in San
Speaker 4: Francisco because I.
Speaker 1: Need a new clutch and a clean pair of short exactly.
Speaker 2: That'd be a great T shirt.
Speaker 4: They'll say, visit San Francisco and they have a manual.
Speaker 4: But there there is there is something about you know,
Speaker 4: it's driving can be fun and if you're on an
Speaker 4: open road, you're going to Vegas or something, and you
Speaker 4: do get that kind of Well, let's see what this
Speaker 4: could go. This again doesn't slow you down, It doesn't.
Speaker 4: It doesn't send a report to the police, which is
Speaker 4: actually when I started hearing about this, I thought, is
Speaker 4: this like a black box that goes and sends information out?
Speaker 4: Does it send information out about other cars that are speeding?
Speaker 2: Is it? You know? Because we're not far.
Speaker 1: From the other thing though, is the blind spot? There
Speaker 1: are vehicles that also alert you when you're going to
Speaker 1: ship plans. So what's the difference there. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: not distracting. That's a lifesaver there, or it can be
Speaker 1: a car saver. So is something Member James Gallagher, Republican
Speaker 1: out of Yuba City, he said that this is just
Speaker 1: another step toward making California and nanny states. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people would agree with him. The bill
Speaker 1: is about control, it's not about safety.
Speaker 4: Okay, So what if it is about control but it
Speaker 4: ends up being safer?
Speaker 2: Some people would.
Speaker 1: Argue safety first, right, And I don't see much of
Speaker 1: a difference between the blind spot, which I think people appreciate.
Speaker 1: If your car is beeping when you can't see a vehicle,
Speaker 1: you're not going to merge over.
Speaker 3: So that could save you. This could save you.
Speaker 4: What is this saying those that choose security over liberty
Speaker 4: deserve neither?
Speaker 2: Who was that? Now?
Speaker 1: One of the stories that we're following is out of
Speaker 1: Orange County.
Speaker 3: Corbyn Carson is on this one Huntington Beach.
Speaker 1: Now the city council now stepping into this controversy surrounding
Speaker 1: Orange County Supervisor Andrew Doe and an investigation against him
Speaker 1: and his daughter Corbyn catches up to speed.
Speaker 3: They're calling for him to resign.
Speaker 8: Yes they are.
Speaker 9: And just a quick background on what Supervisor Doe is
Speaker 9: going through. He was he voted or directed millions of
Speaker 9: COVID relief dollars to this nonprofit. He didn't disclose that
Speaker 9: his daughter ran worked there, though that's not illegal. Orange
Speaker 9: County sued the nonprofit and its present president.
Speaker 8: They said things like.
Speaker 9: Rihannan do brazenly plundered the funding, including an allegation that
Speaker 9: she used the money to buy a house. The FBI
Speaker 9: raided their properties, including the home of Andrew Doe and
Speaker 9: his wife, who is the OC Assistant Presiding Judge, Cherry
Speaker 9: fam So this family has deep roots in Orange County
Speaker 9: and so since.
Speaker 8: Then, several of the supervisors have called for Doe to resign.
Speaker 9: Those are the Democrat supervisors and that's why this is
Speaker 9: important for today because Huntington Beach is the largest city
Speaker 9: in Supervisor Doe's district and it is a heavily Republican
Speaker 9: They have the council has a Republican majority, and this
Speaker 9: is very politically divided on this board. They have been
Speaker 9: vickering back and forth over years and this item to
Speaker 9: ask for Supervisor Doe to resign was proposed by Democrats,
Speaker 9: the three Democrats on that board, and so it's interesting
Speaker 9: that they did get a six to one vote asking
Speaker 9: for him to resign. And here let's start with the
Speaker 9: first person to hear from is counselman Pat Burns. He's
Speaker 9: the one no vote, and he raises a very interesting point.
Speaker 10: Out of respe hang him high.
Speaker 11: I say, hang him high if he's found guilty, but
Speaker 11: I was very.
Speaker 10: Sensitive as a policeman. I'd rather let a.
Speaker 11: Hundred guilty people go than put one innocent person in jail.
Speaker 11: It's worth the caution and slow moving of a proper investigation.
Speaker 11: If he was guilty, and if there was the proper
Speaker 11: evidence against him, right now you'd be arrested, and they
Speaker 11: have not made an arrest. And even then, out of
Speaker 11: respect for our constitution, you are innocent before proven guilty.
Speaker 11: We are nothing but acting as a mob trying to
Speaker 11: hang somebody high and tight before the evidence is even presented.
Speaker 9: And that is accurate because at this point, Supervisor Andrew
Speaker 9: Doe has not been named as a defendant in any
Speaker 9: of the lawsuits or the cases, and other than the
Speaker 9: FBI raiding the house, there is no direct allegations that
Speaker 9: Andrewdeau is connected to what happened, other than voting to
Speaker 9: send that money to his daughter's nonprofit. Now that being said,
Speaker 9: the mayor of Huntington Beach chimed in on that same thing.
Speaker 8: She's also a Republican.
Speaker 6: I too believe you're innocent, interproven guilty. I also believe, though,
Speaker 6: that the residents in this districts should have representation. I
Speaker 6: do believe that this has affected his ability to do
Speaker 6: his job significantly.
Speaker 10: Is not a little issue.
Speaker 6: So I do believe that at this point he should
Speaker 6: probably focus more on this and we'll find someone that
Speaker 6: can get the job done. I'm not saying he's guilty,
Speaker 6: we don't know that, but I do think his residents
Speaker 6: do deserve representation.
Speaker 9: So again, now we're growing calls some Republicans now calling
Speaker 9: on Supervisor Andrewdeau to resign.
Speaker 1: It was Katrina Foley at last week or the week
Speaker 1: before who said that same sentiment where she said, look,
Speaker 1: the investigation is ongoing in a cent until proven guilty,
Speaker 1: but still, sir, mister Doe, you should resign.
Speaker 2: Because it's a distraction.
Speaker 8: That is the argument. It's that that it is a distraction.
Speaker 9: The Republican chair Don Wagner has repeated the same things
Speaker 9: that Councilman Burns was saying about there is no evidence,
Speaker 9: et cetera. But as the chair, he is calling for
Speaker 9: a vote on this upcoming board member board meeting this
Speaker 9: next Tuesday to call for him to be removed from
Speaker 9: committee assignments. There also could be a vote to censure him,
Speaker 9: and then a lot of it is again about the distraction.
Speaker 9: Here is a counselman, Dan Cowman. He's a Democrat on
Speaker 9: the Huntington Beach City Council. But he explains that exact argument,
Speaker 9: is it a distraction or is it about crime?
Speaker 10: Well, I think there's two servarate issues.
Speaker 12: So there's crimes and then there's representation and the appearance
Speaker 12: of impropriety.
Speaker 10: And you brought up Ohms County Power Authority.
Speaker 12: I called for the resignation of Brian Probolski because of
Speaker 12: we didn't have evidence of crimes, but the public had
Speaker 12: lost confidence in his ability to perform, and so if
Speaker 12: it was true or not, we could have been performing
Speaker 12: great poorly, didn't matter. The public perception within the organization
Speaker 12: was that it was unsalvageable with him as the lead,
Speaker 12: and so I call for his resignation. At this point
Speaker 12: we are saying that we are without representation at the
Speaker 12: county board if they oversee nine billion dollars, who we call,
Speaker 12: like if we need that flood control district handled, Like,
Speaker 12: do we call Supervisor Doe and ask him at the
Speaker 12: next meeting to douce to for introducing item.
Speaker 10: If he's not there, that's why we're calling on him
Speaker 10: to resign.
Speaker 2: And so there you go.
Speaker 1: There's the other layer to this Corbyn that I believe
Speaker 1: he's termed out at the end of this year anyway.
Speaker 1: So there's this idea that this would cost a lot
Speaker 1: of money to be able to figure out who would
Speaker 1: step in his place if in fact he were to resign.
Speaker 9: Correct, he is out in November and then somebody that
Speaker 9: and actually there wouldn't be someone officially taking the office
Speaker 9: until January, So you do have those extra months, and
Speaker 9: you can make an argument on both sides of that.
Speaker 9: One is it necessary for him to resign with so
Speaker 9: little time left? On the other hand, what do we
Speaker 9: do until January? What do we being his constituents, what
Speaker 9: do we do till January? As far as you know,
Speaker 9: flood control as con MC mentioned, or any other kind
Speaker 9: of issues that go on in his district, So it
Speaker 9: is a very interesting position for Supervisor Doe to be in.
Speaker 9: He has not responded to any comments. He's declined to
Speaker 9: comment on both from his lawyers on and I have
Speaker 9: not received a response back from his office as of yet.
Speaker 8: But come this.
Speaker 9: Tuesday there will be another meeting for the supervisors.
Speaker 8: Will he be in attendance.
Speaker 9: Will he at that point make a comment about whether
Speaker 9: or not he intends to resign. That remains to be saying.
Speaker 3: And is Rihanna Doe? Was she formally arrested.
Speaker 8: She has not been arrested either.
Speaker 9: The FBIS have served warrants at her house, as I
Speaker 9: mentioned earlier, and the investigation and all investigators are being
Speaker 9: very tight lipped.
Speaker 8: They're not talking about this.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 8: The only reason we know all.
Speaker 9: This is because Orange County filed a lawsuit and made
Speaker 9: a ton of this information public.
Speaker 8: Because if that hadn't happened, there's a good chance we.
Speaker 9: Wouldn't we being the media then being able to tell
Speaker 9: the public, we wouldn't know any.
Speaker 8: Of this stuff.
Speaker 4: All right, our own Corbyn Carson, thanks so much out
Speaker 4: there talking about Huntington Beach, calling on OC Supervisor Andrew
Speaker 4: Doe's resignation. We will see how that plays out. Thanks
Speaker 4: so much for the time, my friend.
Speaker 3: Thanks Corman, appreciate it.
Speaker 9: I thought you guys were going to ask me about
Speaker 9: these cars you were just talking about, because we just
Speaker 9: got a new car and I don't know this thing
Speaker 9: yells at me about everything.
Speaker 8: Fo I think I'm the worst driver?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Bad?
