<v Speaker 1>and about a little later this morning with wake up call.

10
00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>But as I headed out this morning to come in here,

11
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 1>I was like, it feels like the middle of the

12
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>day it was balmy, ever really cooled down and it's

13
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be hot. I tell you about that. Let's

14
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>get right into it. Here's what ahead on wake up

15
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>call inland areas of La and Ventura Counties. Lots of

16
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>areas from the coast to the valleys are under excessive

17
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 1>heat warnings through at least tomorrow night. The National Weather

18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Services temperatures will be around ninety at the beaches up

19
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 1>to about one point fifteen in the valleys. It will

20
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>cool down a few degrees, but the heat is expected

21
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.159
<v Speaker 1>to stick around through the weekend. Police say eight of

22
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the nine people shot at Appalachi High School in winder Georgia,

23
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>where students one was a teacher. Police previously announced that

24
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>two students and two teachers were killed in the shooting

25
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 1>at the high school. Yesterday. The fourteen year old alleged

26
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>shooter surrendered and was arrested. We're going to be talking

27
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>with ABC's Brad Garrett about the shooting and the shooter

28
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>coming up at five twenty. He's always so great with

29
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 1>insight into these terrible events. Vice President Harris and former

30
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>President Trump have agreed to ground rules set forth by

31
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 1>ABC for the presidential debate one week from today, which

32
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you just heard we're air here ONKFI. That includes muted microphones,

33
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 1>which Harris's campaign objected to, saying they would shield Donald

34
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Trump from direct exchanges with Harris. Harris's team agreed to

35
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>the conditions yesterday, saying they don't want to jeopardize the debate.

36
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Also coming up on wake Up Call, as I mentioned,

37
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 1>we're going out and about We're going on the Amtrak

38
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Surfliner. Going to want to hear about that. And

39
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>before the top of the hour, we're going to be

40
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>talking with John Patrick Poland with the home of the

41
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Brave Project and how our veterans have been totally shafted

42
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 1>out of land that was left for them right here

43
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>in LA. Also, let the online buyer beware. A couple

44
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>of companies are in hot water for selling banned products

45
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>on their sites. We're going to find out more about

46
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that with ABC's Jim Ryan in just a couple of minutes,

47
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>But right now, let's get started with some of the

48
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

49
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Schools in Barrow County, Georgia are closed for the rest

50
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of the week following the shooting at a high school yesterday.

51
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Authorities say a fourteen year old is going to be

52
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>charged as an adult in the killings of two students

53
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 1>and two tea at Appalachi High School. At least nine

54
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>others were shot. They're all expected to survive. Local Sheriff

55
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 1>jud Smith calls what happened pure evil.

56
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 4>My heart hurts for.

57
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 1>These kids, my heart hurts for our community.

58
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 2>But I want to make it very clear that hate

59
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 2>will not prevail in this county.

60
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Smith says they don't know what happened or why it happened,

61
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and that they may never know. The so called Pillowcase

62
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>rapist may be released from state custody to a home

63
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 1>in the Annealope Valley.

64
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 5>Neighbors in and around Juniper Hills have been asked to

65
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 5>give public feedback on the possibility of Christopher Hubbart being released.

66
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 5>He's been convicted of more than three dozen rapes and

67
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 5>sexual assaults, often using a pillowcase to muffle the screams

68
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 5>of women he attacked. The crimes date back to the

69
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 5>seventies and eighties, and after one release, he reoffended. In

70
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 5>a second release, he violated conditions and was taken back

71
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 5>into custody. LA County District Attorney George Gascone opposes Hubbard's

72
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 5>release to Juniper Hills and wants to hear from the

73
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 5>public via email before a court hearing on October first

74
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 5>in downtown La. Michael Monks KFI News.

75
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 1>The two NASA astronauts taken to the International Space Station

76
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 1>aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft won't be on board when it

77
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 1>comes back to Earth tomorrow, butch Wilmore and Sunny Williams

78
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 1>will stay in space as full crew members of the

79
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>International Space Station until February. ISS Flight director Anthony Verea

80
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>says they've been helping with the final prep work before

81
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Starliner undocs.

82
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 2>We have been preparing through simulations, procedure reviews, and that's

83
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>with the flight control team on the ground as well

84
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>as the crew on orbit for the activities that are coming.

85
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 1>The fully automated capsule will aim for a touchdown in

86
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:47.360
<v Speaker 1>New Mexico six hours after it undocks tomorrow evening. Right now,

87
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>so let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim,

88
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 1>I've shopped on TIMU a couple of times. Yeah, prices

89
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 1>are crazy inexpensive. But apparently we need to look beyond

90
00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>the prices.

91
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, for a lot of reasons. This has been kind

92
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 6>of a controversial thing for a couple of years, But

93
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 6>the most recent controversy involves baby padded crib rails. The

94
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 6>US Product Safety Consumer Product Safet Commission went to Congress

95
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 6>a couple of years ago and said, Hey, these things

96
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 6>are dangerous. Kids can suffocate, they get tangled up in

97
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 6>these things. Take them off the market. So Congress did

98
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 6>in twenty twenty two, well, at least according to one

99
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 6>tech publication, that these rails, these pads were still available

100
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 6>on both TIMU and she and within the last month

101
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 6>or so. So the US CPS is going to look

102
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 6>at that, launching an investigation. Timu and Shean say they

103
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 6>are both cooperating with that probe. But it's only the

104
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 6>latest bit of trouble that these two companies have faced

105
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 6>in the last two years.

106
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, what's some of the other that they've faced in

107
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>the last two years.

108
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know how stuff is so cheap. Having shopped there,

109
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 6>you see how low cost the stuff is. Well, Senator

110
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.000
<v Speaker 6>Marco Rubio Florida says that that's because it's made with

111
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:03.959
<v Speaker 6>slave labor where these two companies are based. That's his suspicion,

112
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 6>and so he wants an investigation done on that aspect

113
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 6>of it. You've also got the data problems. There have

114
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 6>been data breaches at both of these companies. That's not

115
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 6>to be unexpected, I suppose, considering how big the companies are.

116
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 6>But at least one lawsuit claims that TIMU will plant

117
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 6>malware in the devices of users and then track the

118
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 6>movements of those users to the detriment of American security

119
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 6>because again, these companies are based in China, so lots

120
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 6>of issues. And so you ordered stuff, what did you

121
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.639
<v Speaker 6>order from the If I could ask, you.

122
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Know, I think that I ordered. I'm trying to remember.

123
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 1>I haven't done a lot. I think I got a

124
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>pair of sparky shoes for my mom, Okay, And I

125
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 1>think I got a couple of T shirts that were

126
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>just like so stupid expensive, like I said, I mean

127
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 1>like two dollars and they're not awful quality.

128
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, did you notice anything when you open up the box? No,

129
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 6>Because I was one thing that I ordered from them

130
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 6>a couple of years ago. The item, I don't remember

131
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 6>what it was. I think it was something related to

132
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 6>my bike that I ride, and it came opened the

133
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.279
<v Speaker 6>box and it wasn't what I ordered anyway. It was

134
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.720
<v Speaker 6>just sort of random stuff thrown in there.

135
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 1>You like bonus gifts.

136
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that kind of thing, Just weird things that kind

137
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 6>of random. Looked like they emptied out their glove compartment

138
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.000
<v Speaker 6>or something and dumped it into a box. But it

139
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 6>wreaked of gasoline, oh, or like petroleum or some chemical

140
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 6>petroleum like chemical. And other people I've known who have

141
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 6>received things like this, either unsolicited or the item that

142
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 6>they ordered, they've noticed the same thing, the sort of weird, powerful,

143
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:41.680
<v Speaker 6>stinky gasoline smell that comes with it. And I don't

144
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 6>know what it is. But that's beside the point. I

145
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 6>imagine that it so are their hell concerns.

146
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 1>Maybe, Okay, that's good to know too. Now I had

147
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>heard and I don't know if it's all conspiracy theory.

148
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.439
<v Speaker 1>And one of the reasons they were offering the prices

149
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>so low is they didn't care that they weren't making

150
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 1>money on them, that they wanted to grab enough of

151
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the market share that they would force other companies out

152
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of business.

153
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.639
<v Speaker 6>Right, potential loss leaders situation, right, lose money.

154
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Like the whole site is a lost leader though, right.

155
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.319
<v Speaker 6>Like the chickens, the roasted chickens at Costco, they sell

156
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 6>them super at a loss to get people to the

157
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 6>back of the store. Could be the same thing, I suppose.

158
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 6>And you know, the Chinese know what they're doing there,

159
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 6>and and so it's a good question. And so what

160
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 6>could the United States do about this? Could you know,

161
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 6>Congress tried to block TikTok and you know another company,

162
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 6>foreign company, Chinese company from doing business here. Could the

163
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 6>same thing happened with Timu and Shean? Maybe? And by

164
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 6>the way, these companies are both third party sellers. It's

165
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 6>just like Amazon. Right, there's there there as kind of

166
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 6>a clearinghouse for people who are selling items or at Sea.

167
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 6>They come on to the site and they sell them

168
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 6>there because people shop Amazon or shan or at Sea

169
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 6>or Timu, and so these companies say, well, you know,

170
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 6>we're trying to regulate our third party vendors, but what

171
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 6>can we do about it?

172
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well it'll be interesting to see, because yeah, how

173
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>do you regulate that. I mean, it's a website. We

174
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 1>can go there, we can buy stuff or are you

175
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 1>going to get arrested if you buy stuff?

176
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 6>Well, it usually doesn't extend that far. It's normally sanctions

177
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 6>or regulations against the seller. But does that mean Timu

178
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.519
<v Speaker 6>as the seller or you know Joe's tire shop in

179
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 6>Beijing where you ordered something and it was sold through Timu?

180
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 6>Who knows?

181
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So Jim. Then the practical, because we always like

182
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.679
<v Speaker 1>to give a little bit of help. How can people

183
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 1>protect themselves from potentially dangerous products or unscrupulous business practices?

184
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's the tough part. I mean, and especially with

185
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 6>this like baby rail thing, this padded baby rail thing.

186
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.559
<v Speaker 6>Probably a lot of people didn't realize that Congress had

187
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 6>banned those things a couple of years ago because of

188
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 6>potential dangers to kids. And you know, I suspect TIMU

189
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:55.919
<v Speaker 6>was going to make the same argument. We didn't know

190
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 6>about your ban, but we're going to We'll take it

191
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 6>out the website. Would the team of this morning to

192
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 6>see if I could still find those padded rails. They're

193
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 6>not there, at least the ones that are mentioned by

194
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 6>the Consumer Product Safety Commission. So just again, it's it's

195
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 6>a matter of shopping carefully, realizing that this product that

196
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 6>you're getting may or may not be on a prohibited

197
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.000
<v Speaker 6>list in this country or banded list. But you know,

198
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 6>it's just a matter of watching out, being a careful consumer.

199
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Like everything, let the buyer beware. Just now, I'm going

200
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to go order something from Timo because I want to

201
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 1>see if I get that weird toxic smell.

202
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 6>It's very strange.

203
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:36.879
<v Speaker 1>I'll open it outside.

204
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:42.200
<v Speaker 6>Plastic, petroleum something and I don't know, but let's just

205
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.519
<v Speaker 6>hope you get what you order too.

206
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Okay, ABC's Jim Ryan. Thank you so much for

207
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 1>your time and your information. If you want to follow Jim,

208
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 1>it's at Jim Ryan t X like Texas because he

209
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 1>calls us from Texas. Thanks Jim. All right, here, let's

210
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.519
<v Speaker 1>get back to some of the stories coming out of

211
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.879
<v Speaker 1>the KFI twenty four hour newsroom, Evacuation orders have been

212
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.639
<v Speaker 1>ungraded and warnings have been canceled in Riverside County, where

213
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.279
<v Speaker 1>a wildfire threatened homes in good Hope near Paris. The

214
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 1>fire started yesterday afternoon and burned about one hundred and

215
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>thirty acres. It was twenty five percent surrounded as of

216
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:16.159
<v Speaker 1>last night. A federal grand jury has indicted an LA

217
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>County sheriff's deputy for allegedly using excessive force.

218
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>The indictment says when Trevor Kirk Pepper sprayed and threw

219
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>a woman to the pavement, he violated her civil rights.

220
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>In June of twenty twenty three, Kirk and another deputy

221
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 2>responded to a grocery store in Lancaster after employees said

222
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the woman and her husband stole items from the store.

223
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Video shows the encounter between Kirk and the couple. The indictment,

224
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 2>issued yesterday charges Kirk with a single count of deprivation

225
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 2>of rights under color of law. The husband was cited

226
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>for resisting an officer and petty theft. The wife was

227
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.279
<v Speaker 2>cited for assaulting an officer. Steve Gregory ka If I knowws.

228
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Police in Munich, Germany have fatally shot a man near

229
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>a museum on the city's Nazi era history and the

230
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Israeli Consulate. The man had fired at police this morning

231
00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 1>before he was killed. Police officers had been alerted to

232
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a person carrying a long gun near downtown Munich. They

233
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.039
<v Speaker 1>say there's no sign anyone else was hurt during the shootout.

234
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>The consulate was closed at the time. The head of

235
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the United Nations Nuclear watchdog agency has visited a nuclear

236
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.039
<v Speaker 1>plant in southern Ukraine a day after, saying the situation

237
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.519
<v Speaker 1>there is very fragile. The plant's operator says artillery shelling

238
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Monday damaged the plant's power access and blames Russia. International

239
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Atomic Energy Director Raphael Grossi says it's a tense situation.

240
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a war going on, so we have to prevent

241
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 1>a nuclear accident. The plant is the biggest nuclear power

242
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>plant in Europe and one of the ten largest in

243
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the world. Green Day had to leave stage for several

244
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>minutes during a show in Detroit because of a drone Polisse.

245
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Someone flew the drone into Camerica Park Baseball Stadium at

246
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 1>about fifteen minutes into the show. Last night, police caught

247
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and detained the guy piloting the drone. He was outside

248
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 1>the stadium and the show went on as it must.

249
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>La County Sheriff's deputies have begun patrolling the voluntary evacuation

250
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>zone in Rancho Palace Vertes. The deputies in vehicles, on

251
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>ATVs and on horseback are there to deter break ins

252
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 1>and vandalism. More than two hundred residents have had their

253
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>power and gas service cut off because of the ground

254
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.639
<v Speaker 1>shifting under their homes, and many have left the area.

255
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Governor Knewsom declared a state of emergency for Rancho Palace

256
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Verties on Tuesday. A man's been stabbed on his way

257
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 1>to catch a Metro train in Baldwin Hills. LAPD says

258
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>it happened near the Metro station at Jefferson and Los

259
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Sienaga yesterday morning. The man stabbed was taken to the

260
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 1>hospital with minor injuries. The attacker has not been found.

261
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Spirit Airlines is going to start offering new service from

262
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Burbank to San Jose. The direct flights are currently being

263
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 1>offered at an introductory part of thirty nine dollars one

264
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>way to fly between September twenty fifth and November nineteenth,

265
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Spirit and Southwest Airlines are now the only two airlines

266
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that fly direct between Burbank and San Jose. At six

267
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>oh five, it's handled on the news. Your next COVID

268
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 1>vaccine could cost you two hundred bucks. Bill's going to

269
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 1>tell you about that. Right now. Let's say good morning

270
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to ABC's Crime and Terror analyst Brad Garrett. Unfortunately, this

271
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:30.519
<v Speaker 1>is the time that I get to talk to you, Brad,

272
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>it's when something awful happens. So let's get started with

273
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>what we know about the school shooting at Appalachi High

274
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>School in Georgia, and then what do we know about

275
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the shooter.

276
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 7>So if we go back to May of twenty twenty three, Amy,

277
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 7>he was looming in an adjoining county, Jackson County, Georgia,

278
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 7>and apparently the FBI got an anonymous tip that someone

279
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:02.039
<v Speaker 7>was threatening to commit a mascool. They were able to

280
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.279
<v Speaker 7>track that lead back to this kid's house in Jackson County.

281
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 7>He would have been thirteen at that point. He according

282
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 7>to law enforcement, he was interviewed I'm going to presume

283
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 7>by local law enforcement, the Sheriff's Office Jackson County. The

284
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.600
<v Speaker 7>father was interviewed thirteen year old was interviewed. The thirteen

285
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 7>year old denied that he had made these threats. The

286
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 7>father stated he had a number of long guns in

287
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 7>the house, not further defined, and apparently they were not

288
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:32.600
<v Speaker 7>able to corroborate through a gaming nap because that's where

289
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:36.360
<v Speaker 7>the post were made that this kid actually made them.

290
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 7>I think they believe he did make them, but it's

291
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 7>another one of those that something gets deleted. I don't

292
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 7>know the particulars, but the short answer is it's sort

293
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.440
<v Speaker 7>of the whole thing sort of went away. And then

294
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.799
<v Speaker 7>the kid moves next door to Barrow County where his

295
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 7>high school, his new high school is located. If you

296
00:15:55.919 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 7>fast forward to a clash yesterday only is based on

297
00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:05.840
<v Speaker 7>student interviews that were covered by the media. The student

298
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 7>was sitting next to him, and she said, apparently he

299
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 7>never talked in class. He skipped class a lot, and

300
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 7>he got up and walked out the back door. Now

301
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 7>the back door apparently this classroom goes outside, and he

302
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.399
<v Speaker 7>wanted to try to get back in a few minutes later,

303
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:28.080
<v Speaker 7>the student that saw him wouldn't let him in because

304
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.360
<v Speaker 7>he had a gun. So he goes to the next

305
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:35.080
<v Speaker 7>classroom over gets in However, he gets in and starts shooting,

306
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.200
<v Speaker 7>and fortunately that school had these locked door systems, and

307
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.960
<v Speaker 7>they also the teachers apparently have badges with a button

308
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 7>on them that they can push that alerts law enforcement

309
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 7>that there might be a mass shooting going on. Now,

310
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 7>there's three cops assigned to that school. I think they

311
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 7>all come running and they confront him and he gives up.

312
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.679
<v Speaker 7>That's why he's still alive. But the fill in the

313
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.720
<v Speaker 7>black that I think you're asking me about, were there

314
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.920
<v Speaker 7>any red flags? What did he say before, did he

315
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 7>talk to students? Where did the weapon come from? We

316
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.880
<v Speaker 7>just don't know yet.

317
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 1>But it appears that it's going to be kind of

318
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 1>a rare opportunity because he didn't kill himself or he

319
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:20.279
<v Speaker 1>wasn't killed, And just from watching the networks and stuff,

320
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.759
<v Speaker 1>they were saying that he's he's been talking or at

321
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:24.559
<v Speaker 1>least they're talking to him.

322
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.759
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think you know, it's not uncommon, no matter

323
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.400
<v Speaker 7>what their age, of people who commit these type of

324
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 7>shootings are proud of them initially until they realize what

325
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 7>they're they're up against. And my guess is he has

326
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.160
<v Speaker 7>and my guess is the parents were probably present because

327
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 7>of his age, so so we'll see. I think we'll

328
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 7>know more about mindset, we'll know more about where the

329
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 7>weapon came from, we may know more about planning, you know,

330
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:57.160
<v Speaker 7>all the things that go into what typically happens prior

331
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.440
<v Speaker 7>to these events occurring.

332
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I know that most people don't agree with me on this, Brad,

333
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.119
<v Speaker 1>but I would love your take on this. You said

334
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:10.839
<v Speaker 1>that he initially was found out on a gaming site.

335
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.119
<v Speaker 1>My theory is it's probably not the only thing, but

336
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the contributing factors. Is that the kids

337
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>are playing these hyper violent games and going around and

338
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:28.519
<v Speaker 1>killing everybody, and it desensitizes them, so they I think

339
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>they're more likely to actually do something like this if

340
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 1>they're already prone to it. I mean, I'm not saying

341
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 1>like everyday kids are, but maybe kids who have trouble

342
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:39.039
<v Speaker 1>with social skills or have some sort of a mental

343
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.720
<v Speaker 1>health issue or something like that that that contributes to that.

344
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Have you guys found that at all? Is there anything

345
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:46.799
<v Speaker 1>that ties.

346
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:46.960
<v Speaker 6>That to it.

347
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.440
<v Speaker 7>There's certainly been studies done on that, and there is

348
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.640
<v Speaker 7>a belief where you take a kid like you described

349
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:59.960
<v Speaker 7>that's already troubled and maybe already having dark or violent

350
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:05.119
<v Speaker 7>thoughts and they end up fusing fantasy with reality. And

351
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.119
<v Speaker 7>that's kind of what you're talking about, where that when

352
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 7>you go into a school with an AR fifteen, which

353
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 7>is now the most popular weapon in America, that he

354
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 7>you know, is is he now in a video game?

355
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.200
<v Speaker 7>In other words, is it not real to him while

356
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 7>he's doing it? Because you know, in most mass shootings,

357
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:28.960
<v Speaker 7>the shooters that survive will tell you they're not even

358
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.799
<v Speaker 7>thinking they're shooting human beings. It's all about anger, rage

359
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.039
<v Speaker 7>and power. They're and they're they're being powerful for a

360
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 7>few minutes. But yeah, it may be something to that.

361
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 7>Is it relevant to this kid?

362
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.759
<v Speaker 1>We don't know yet, Okay, And and it's helpful that

363
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe they can get in his head and maybe get

364
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.079
<v Speaker 1>some answers. But like you know we've talked about before,

365
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:56.319
<v Speaker 1>these things are so senseless and you can't predict necessarily

366
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:57.559
<v Speaker 1>what's going to do. I mean, what do you do

367
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:00.680
<v Speaker 1>if they come and question the kid and they say, oh,

368
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.279
<v Speaker 1>we think you made that threat and they throw a

369
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 1>kid in jail for not actually doing anything.

370
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, this is not I don't think going

371
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 7>to realistic cat happen. Going back reportory, right, you're not

372
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 7>going to throw them in jail. And you know, the

373
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.279
<v Speaker 7>real question is can you keep track of kids like this?

374
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:24.119
<v Speaker 7>And the short answer is no. I mean, if they're

375
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:29.640
<v Speaker 7>not under some juvenile court judges wing, or they're not

376
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.480
<v Speaker 7>on probation or parole, or they're not connected to some

377
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.160
<v Speaker 7>mental health facility that maybe mobiley checks on folks that

378
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 7>are troubled. If you don't have any of those things

379
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.160
<v Speaker 7>going on, when you get to rural America, probably none

380
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 7>of those are going to be going on. Not their

381
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 7>false is the reality of the situation. You're going to

382
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:54.240
<v Speaker 7>have kids fall through the cracks because, let's face it,

383
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:57.519
<v Speaker 7>if I laid out twenty five school mass shooters, there's

384
00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:59.599
<v Speaker 7>going to be red lights almost with every one of them.

385
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:01.160
<v Speaker 4>But who knew about them?

386
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 7>That's the real issue.

387
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:09.759
<v Speaker 1>It's frustrating at least, in tragic at best. So Brad Garrett,

388
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.880
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for the insight and the information.

389
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 1>As always, we appreciate it. We hope to talk to you,

390
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.000
<v Speaker 1>talk to you during happier news times soon.

391
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 7>Take care, All right, take care.

392
00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's get back to some of the stories coming out

393
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man arrested

394
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>for a fatal crash in Fontana who escaped from a

395
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:33.319
<v Speaker 1>hospital has been caught. The CHP says Noah Benuelos was

396
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.960
<v Speaker 1>caught about twelve thirty this morning. He was driving a

397
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 1>white Jeep Cherokee yesterday when he was pulled over for

398
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.039
<v Speaker 1>speeding on the fifteen near Sierra Avenue, but then he

399
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:45.799
<v Speaker 1>took off. A fatal crash happened at Beach and Cherry

400
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Avenues a short time later. Officials sat Benuelos tried to

401
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>run away but was caught. He then escaped at Arrowhead

402
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Regional Hospital in Colton after that. An excessive heat warning

403
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.119
<v Speaker 1>takes effect this morning for the Malibu Coast beaches in

404
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.759
<v Speaker 1>La County and the Pallas Verdes Hills the National Weather Services.

405
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Some of those areas could see temperatures in the triple digits,

406
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:09.119
<v Speaker 1>and excessive heat warning in the western San Fernando Valley

407
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 1>remains in place until eight pm Saturday, and excessive heat

408
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:15.920
<v Speaker 1>warning will also be in effect through Saturday night in

409
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 1>the Santa Clarita Valley, the inland coastal areas stretching into

410
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.079
<v Speaker 1>downtown La, the Santa Monica Mountains, Calabasas, the eastern San

411
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, and the Annealope Valley foothills. Yeah,

412
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.480
<v Speaker 1>it's just going to be hot everywhere. Two more beaches

413
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:31.720
<v Speaker 1>have been added to La County's list of places to

414
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 1>avoid swimming, surfing, or playing in the ocean because of

415
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.039
<v Speaker 1>high bacteria levels. The latest editions are Venice Beach and

416
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Outer Cabrio Beach in San Pedro. The list of beaches

417
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:46.240
<v Speaker 1>is now up to twelve. Police say eight of the

418
00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>nine people shot at Appalachi High School in winder Georgia

419
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 1>were students. One of them was a teacher. Police had

420
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.519
<v Speaker 1>previously announced that two students and two teachers were killed

421
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 1>in the shooting at the high school. Yesterday, The fourteen

422
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:02.359
<v Speaker 1>year old led shooters surrender and was arrested. Prosecutors say

423
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 1>he will be charged as an adult. The CEO of

424
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Kroger has insisted that merging with Alberton Albertson's is going

425
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to lower prices, not increase them. Rodney McMullen testified at

426
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:16.079
<v Speaker 1>a federal hearing in Oregon yesterday that the day the

427
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:20.400
<v Speaker 1>merger goes through, prices would start coming down. The Federal

428
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Trade Commission is trying to block the twenty four point

429
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.759
<v Speaker 1>six billion dollar deal, saying it would eliminate competition and

430
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:31.119
<v Speaker 1>raise grocery prices. For a half million dollars, you can

431
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:34.880
<v Speaker 1>buy half a house in Monrovia. A tree crushed a

432
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.759
<v Speaker 1>house and split it in half four months ago. Now

433
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.480
<v Speaker 1>what's left of it is up for sale. Even though

434
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:43.319
<v Speaker 1>the house is red tagged. It's a one bedroom, one

435
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.599
<v Speaker 1>bath home. The real estate agent calls it an open

436
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:50.759
<v Speaker 1>concept floor plan that's clever at six oz five It

437
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:52.799
<v Speaker 1>is handled on the news. Trump and Harris have agreed

438
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.640
<v Speaker 1>to rules for their big debate that happens one week

439
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.240
<v Speaker 1>from today. So wake Up Call is going out and

440
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.680
<v Speaker 1>about as we do each week, and this week we

441
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.079
<v Speaker 1>went out and about on the Pacific Surfliner. Of course

442
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.079
<v Speaker 1>it's the Amtrak train. Normally I go to a place,

443
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.240
<v Speaker 1>but I guess now this time it was the destination.

444
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 1>The deal was. I was heading up to Paseroblis for

445
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Labor Day weekend to see my best friend do a

446
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:23.319
<v Speaker 1>little wine tasting, and we were talking about traffic and

447
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the cars and all that stuff, and she said, have

448
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:28.279
<v Speaker 1>you have you taken the train? And I said no,

449
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 1>but I maybe I should. So I did a little

450
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:35.640
<v Speaker 1>digging and said, well, okay, So from Burbank up to

451
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 1>San Luis Obispo, which is as far as it goes,

452
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:43.319
<v Speaker 1>but there's other ways to get around. It's like sixty

453
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:45.720
<v Speaker 1>bucks each way or sixty five between sixty and sixty

454
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 1>five dollars each way, and that's for a business class seat,

455
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.799
<v Speaker 1>and so I thought, okay, and then there's coach and

456
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.839
<v Speaker 1>there's business class, and I'm like, oh, I'll do business

457
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.799
<v Speaker 1>class because it was like twenty dollars more. And with

458
00:24:56.920 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>business class you get a little bit bigger seat, you

459
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.519
<v Speaker 1>get a guaranteed seat, and you get some more leg room.

460
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.119
<v Speaker 1>It's sort of like buying Premium plus when you fly,

461
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 1>and then you also get snacks and beverages and that

462
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:10.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. So I thought, I'll do that, and

463
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I got to tell you it was one of the

464
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.319
<v Speaker 1>most pleasant experiences I've had in quite a while. The

465
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 1>trip takes five hours, so instead of driving, which is

466
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:22.839
<v Speaker 1>three and a half hours and could be more depending

467
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>on traffic, especially through the Grapevine or if you're going

468
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:27.960
<v Speaker 1>up the one on one, the traffic into Santa Barbara's,

469
00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, orror it can be horrific, especially on a

470
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>holiday weekend. So it's a five hour ride, and it

471
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>was lovely. The service was good, the train was clean,

472
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 1>the seats were comfortable, and I got to relax. I

473
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:46.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to worry about traffic. I got to stretch out.

474
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:51.519
<v Speaker 1>There were snacks, there was wine, there was other beverages.

475
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I got to read a book. And the views are spectacular.

476
00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 1>So when you take off like I picked it up

477
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>at Burber, you can take it like you know, you

478
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 1>could start in San Diego if you want to, and

479
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:05.200
<v Speaker 1>take it all the way up because it's the surf Liner.

480
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 1>But once you get to see me Valley, it gets

481
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>really pretty. And then you hit the coast and you

482
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>are literally on the coast. They're not kidding when they

483
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:17.440
<v Speaker 1>call it the surf Liner, and you're just tooling along

484
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:21.079
<v Speaker 1>and watching the waves, and you stop every now and again,

485
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's just the most relaxing experience. It was easy

486
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to get to the train, it was easy to get

487
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.640
<v Speaker 1>on the train, it was easy to get to the

488
00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 1>train returning. And if you're thinking about maybe doing something

489
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different, like even going up to Santa

490
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Barbara for the day, it's two hours from Burbank and

491
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 1>it's a lovely, lovely drive or not drive a ride,

492
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, we went up to San Luis

493
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Obispo and so I had at least three hours of

494
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 1>just staring out at the ocean, which I thought was

495
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.880
<v Speaker 1>just fantastic. So I'm going to put a video up

496
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:01.559
<v Speaker 1>on my Instagram at Amy K King also at KFI

497
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:03.599
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty if you want to take a little

498
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.119
<v Speaker 1>look at it and see what I got to see

499
00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 1>and experience. Like I said, the Pacific Surfliner from Amtrak,

500
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a great way to travel. And if you're head

501
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in that direction, maybe you want to think about taking

502
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>the train instead of driving next time. I would love

503
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 1>for you to follow me as well at Amy Kking

504
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and take a look. I would love to see what

505
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you think, because it was, like I said, it was

506
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a really great ride. So let's get back to some

507
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.559
<v Speaker 1>of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

508
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.279
<v Speaker 1>hour newsroom. San Diego State Senator Brian Jones is opposing

509
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.519
<v Speaker 1>the possible release of the man who killed two people

510
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and wounded thirteen others at Santana High School and Santee

511
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and one.

512
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.559
<v Speaker 3>We think it's inappropriate Brandy Williams to be paroled at

513
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.039
<v Speaker 3>this point in time. We've set up a petition on

514
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:52.680
<v Speaker 3>my website that people can go on to and fill

515
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:54.400
<v Speaker 3>out and sign, and we will make sure that the

516
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:57.839
<v Speaker 3>parole hearing and the governor's administration gets those petitions to

517
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.559
<v Speaker 3>know that there is not community support for him being

518
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:01.319
<v Speaker 3>led out of prison.

519
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Senator Jones is California needs to change its parole policies.

520
00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 3>California, we've gone sopt on crying and the public has

521
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.880
<v Speaker 3>had it. I think they're over it, and the public

522
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 3>does not support these extreme recentencency majors that the Democrats

523
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 3>and the governor continue and continue and continue to try

524
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:20.279
<v Speaker 3>to push through the legislative process.

525
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:23.200
<v Speaker 1>A parole hearing for Williams is set for September tenth.

526
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.680
<v Speaker 1>He served less than half of his fifty years to

527
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.119
<v Speaker 1>life sentence. A community group says lead has been found

528
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.200
<v Speaker 1>in the water supply in one neighborhood in LA.

529
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 5>Some residents in Watts, especially in public housing, have been

530
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:39.079
<v Speaker 5>found to be dealing with contaminated water. City Councilman Tim

531
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.359
<v Speaker 5>oc Oscar says the group Better Watts Initiative discovered amounts

532
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.039
<v Speaker 5>of lead well above what the EPA says is allowed

533
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:46.920
<v Speaker 5>for drinking water which is zero no.

534
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Lead, no measure of lead is good for us, but

535
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>this was an alarming level.

536
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.799
<v Speaker 5>The city Council yesterday voted to have the LEDWP investigate

537
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.880
<v Speaker 5>in partnership with the Housing Authority and Better Watts Initiative.

538
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:00.680
<v Speaker 5>Mcoscar says the report should include detail tales of where

539
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 5>the contamination came from and how to fix it immediately.

540
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Michael Monks KFI News. The California Department of Tax and

541
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Fee Administration reports cannabis tax revenue for the second quarter

542
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of this year was two hundred and sixty three million dollars.

543
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:16.039
<v Speaker 1>That's a slight drop from the first quarter, when two

544
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:19.519
<v Speaker 1>hundred sixty six million was earned. The department says since

545
00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:22.720
<v Speaker 1>cannabis tax came into effect in California in twenty eighteen,

546
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.200
<v Speaker 1>the state has earned more than six billion dollars. Retail

547
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 1>sales of cannabis and cannabis products are taxed by the

548
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 1>state and local governments. Former California Senate leader Gloria Romero

549
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>says she's switched her party affiliation to Republican. She says

550
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the Democratic Party is no longer the party she once championed.

551
00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 1>She says the Republican Party under former President Trump became

552
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:51.559
<v Speaker 1>the champion of working people. Romero represented East LA and

553
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 1>parts of the San Gabriel Valley Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice is expected

554
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.839
<v Speaker 1>to take in up to one hundred ten million dollars

555
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:02.400
<v Speaker 1>in its first weekend. The sequel to Tim Burton's nineteen

556
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight movie could end up being one of the

557
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.400
<v Speaker 1>best September debuts ever. And Nick and I are going

558
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:10.240
<v Speaker 1>to see it this afternoon. Can't wait to tell you

559
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:10.839
<v Speaker 1>all about it.

560
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.559
<v Speaker 4>Hive from Hollywood.

561
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:16.559
<v Speaker 7>It's Dancing with the Stuff Stuff.

562
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>No damn he say money. A con artist from Germany

563
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>convicted of swindling her friends, hotels, and banks back in

564
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen. It is going to be competing on Dancing

565
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:29.759
<v Speaker 1>with the Stars this season, even if she wears an

566
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>ankle monitor. Anna Sorocan is better known as her false

567
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.960
<v Speaker 1>identity Anna Delvy. Her story was told in a Netflix

568
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.519
<v Speaker 1>mini series called Inventing Anna. It was Really Good. Sorocin

569
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:44.079
<v Speaker 1>was released from prison in twenty twenty one. She's currently

570
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:46.079
<v Speaker 1>on house arrest, which is why she has to wear

571
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 1>the ankle monitor. Ice has yet to comment regarding Sorocan's

572
00:30:49.759 --> 00:31:00.519
<v Speaker 1>house arrest. Conditions and accommodations to film in La So

573
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 1>some of the other people who will be dancing this

574
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 1>week actually this season, because they just revealed the cast

575
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 1>of Dancing with the Stars Real Housewives star Favorite Parks

576
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Beverly Hills nine O two one zero alumni Tory Spelling,

577
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and then a couple of bachelor's and bachelorettes Joey Graziati

578
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and Jen Tran, and then Eric Roberts is going to

579
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 1>be in on it today and Reginald ven Johnson. Reginald

580
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>vel Johnson easy for me to say. I couldn't remember

581
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 1>who he was until I looked it up, but he

582
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:34.279
<v Speaker 1>was the dad from Family Manders and was also in

583
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:38.559
<v Speaker 1>the Diehard movies. And then from Disney Zombies Zombies two

584
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 1>is Chandler Kinney. And then there's a couple of athletes

585
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Danny Amidola and Dwight Howard and olympians Ilona Mayer and

586
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Steven Netterasik. You know who that is. That's Superman from gymnastics.

587
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:58.039
<v Speaker 1>He did the vault. It's not the vault though, it's

588
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>called the pommel horse. But so Stephen Netterosik is going

589
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:04.079
<v Speaker 1>to be there. Also, Brooks Nater and the season starts

590
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.319
<v Speaker 1>September seventeenth on ABC. I'm still deciding whether I'm going

591
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:11.319
<v Speaker 1>to watch it again, but no decision left here. It's

592
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:15.240
<v Speaker 1>just time to head to traffic. Inland areas of La

593
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and Ventura County. Pretty much actually, most of southern California

594
00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>under excessive heat warnings through at least tomorrow night. Some

595
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:25.160
<v Speaker 1>have been extended through Saturday. The National Weather Services temperatures

596
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.079
<v Speaker 1>will be around ninety at the coast, up to one

597
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:31.519
<v Speaker 1>fifteen in the valleys. It'll cool down a few degrees,

598
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:33.519
<v Speaker 1>but the heat's expected to stick around through the weekend.

599
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Two more beaches have been added to a list of

600
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>beaches off limits because of high bacteria levels. The County

601
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 1>Department of Public Health says people should not swim, surf,

602
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.559
<v Speaker 1>or play in the water. New beaches added to the

603
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.039
<v Speaker 1>list of ten already designated with high bacteria levels are

604
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:52.039
<v Speaker 1>parts of Venice Beach and Outer Cabrio Beach in San Pedro.

605
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.000
<v Speaker 1>A complete list is available on La County Public Health's website.

606
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:01.079
<v Speaker 1>The NFL season gets underway tonight. The defending Super Bowl

607
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>champion Kansas City Chiefs begin their quest for a three

608
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:07.079
<v Speaker 1>peat when they take on the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium.

609
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 1>We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning,

610
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 1>So Paris loves their Olympic rings so much they're leaving

611
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.799
<v Speaker 1>them up on the Eiffel Tower and not everybody's happy

612
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 1>about that one. Let's say good morning now to John

613
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Polland who's with the Home of the Brave Project.

614
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Love the name already, and this story I think might

615
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:33.039
<v Speaker 1>make some of your blood boil. So John Patrick pulland,

616
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:34.799
<v Speaker 1>thank you for joining us this morning.

617
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for having me. I'm happy to be here.

618
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>So tell us what is the Home of the Brave Project?

619
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.559
<v Speaker 4>Sure? So I'm with another that called Long Lead, and

620
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:47.440
<v Speaker 4>we put out a feature called Home of the Brave

621
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:50.160
<v Speaker 4>And what we've done over the past three plus years

622
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:54.519
<v Speaker 4>is kind of chronicle the history of the West Lava.

623
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.519
<v Speaker 4>That land. A lot of people don't know what it is,

624
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:01.319
<v Speaker 4>but out there in West la between Brentwood and UCLA

625
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:04.759
<v Speaker 4>is three hundred and eighty eight acres of VA campus

626
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:07.799
<v Speaker 4>that was actually donated to the federal government in eighteen

627
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:12.400
<v Speaker 4>eighty eight, specifically the House Veterans. In the fifties, it

628
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:16.480
<v Speaker 4>housed about five thousand veterans and today it houses only

629
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 4>two hundred and thirty three permanently. So the question is why.

630
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.199
<v Speaker 4>The answer is quite complicated.

631
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So let's look at it just a little bit,

632
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.440
<v Speaker 1>so just to give people a frame of reference. So

633
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.920
<v Speaker 1>it's that nearly four hundred acre piece of land, and

634
00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:35.760
<v Speaker 1>you said five thousand used to live on it, So

635
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:38.639
<v Speaker 1>it's is it all developed, it has like housing complexes

636
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:39.760
<v Speaker 1>or what's on the property.

637
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Now, yeah, that's the wild thing about it. In the seventies,

638
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:48.039
<v Speaker 4>what happened, the Silmar earthquake happened, and they evicted all

639
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:52.960
<v Speaker 4>the veterans from the property. In the early or in

640
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:55.920
<v Speaker 4>about twenty thirteen, there was a lawsuit where veterans and

641
00:34:56.039 --> 00:35:00.159
<v Speaker 4>house veterans actually settled with the government and the and

642
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:02.480
<v Speaker 4>said they were going to build twelve hundred units of housing,

643
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.440
<v Speaker 4>but they don't do it fast enough. So when we

644
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.519
<v Speaker 4>hit covid uh, I think a lot of your listeners

645
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 4>might remember seeing intents along santacente h and what those

646
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 4>tents were. You know, those were folks trying to survive

647
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:19.039
<v Speaker 4>and being near their services. So as a result, there's

648
00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:23.559
<v Speaker 4>another lawsuit and that is currently you know, we're waiting

649
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:25.599
<v Speaker 4>for a judgment on that as we speak to see

650
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.880
<v Speaker 4>what will happen with that land. But it's not developed.

651
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.559
<v Speaker 4>It is, however, leased out, and that's what the veterans

652
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:32.599
<v Speaker 4>are very upset about.

653
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, who's got Who's got it?

654
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:39.440
<v Speaker 4>It's been reseat to the one to UCLA, so that's

655
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:43.599
<v Speaker 4>where you'll find Jackie Robinson Stadium. Brentwood School is another release.

656
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.920
<v Speaker 4>They have a massive twenty two acre athletic facility there.

657
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:49.760
<v Speaker 4>So the vets are are unhappy that they're not living

658
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker 4>on the land that was set aside for them.

659
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So then let's go back to when that land was.

660
00:35:56.840 --> 00:36:00.760
<v Speaker 1>It was donated specifically two veterans so they could have

661
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a place to be and live by. And who donated it, well.

662
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 4>There were three wealthy landowners, industrialists that were living in

663
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.639
<v Speaker 4>the area. And there's this quote from the La Times

664
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.840
<v Speaker 4>that I love because after the donation it was called

665
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Sawtel Back then, the La Times wrote this, the skift

666
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.840
<v Speaker 4>will cause the land in that section to advance in value,

667
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:26.480
<v Speaker 4>and the trade thrown into the way of our merchants

668
00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:30.159
<v Speaker 4>will be considerable. All of that land has, you know,

669
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:35.159
<v Speaker 4>spurred Brentwood, Westwood, bell Air. None of those things would

670
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.119
<v Speaker 4>be there if it wasn't for the donation.

671
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:41.119
<v Speaker 1>Of this land, and why wouldn't they be there.

672
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Because basically at that time that all that area was undeveloped. Okay,

673
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:49.960
<v Speaker 4>So what you do is you put you put veterans

674
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.559
<v Speaker 4>there with pensions and a post office, and all of

675
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.639
<v Speaker 4>a sudden you have instant commerce as a result of that.

676
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:00.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, that's when Brentwood came in. They actually you know,

677
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:04.239
<v Speaker 4>built that neighborhood alongside it. They actually took some of

678
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.199
<v Speaker 4>the land to make Santacente and Wilsir Boulevard.

679
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Actually okay, so now who controls it, John, Now that

680
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:14.679
<v Speaker 1>they were that they went ahead and leased it out.

681
00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Who who did that or made that decision?

682
00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:20.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean the basically and this was part of

683
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:23.679
<v Speaker 4>the most recent trial. You know, the federal government has

684
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:26.800
<v Speaker 4>a fiduciary interest in running that land and running it

685
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:29.920
<v Speaker 4>for the vets. But what they've been doing the VA

686
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:32.920
<v Speaker 4>has said, well, we don't want to manage land, we

687
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:35.440
<v Speaker 4>don't want to manage property, so let's lease it out,

688
00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:37.679
<v Speaker 4>get some money for it, and then be able to

689
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:39.559
<v Speaker 4>do things with that money. But it's not ever really

690
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.760
<v Speaker 4>been clear that any of that has actually happened in

691
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:44.400
<v Speaker 4>the interests of the veterans.

692
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:47.320
<v Speaker 1>So the federal government actually has control of it and

693
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>they're the ones who leased it out, that's correct, and

694
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.039
<v Speaker 1>the now and the vets are fighting to get it

695
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 1>back now.

696
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:57.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I don't think that the vets will

697
00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.159
<v Speaker 4>ever actually own it, but what they want to live

698
00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:01.719
<v Speaker 4>on it, you know, they want to have housing on that.

699
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:05.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's as of the most recent count, three thousand,

700
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:08.719
<v Speaker 4>eight hundred and seventy eight on housed veterans in La County.

701
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:12.119
<v Speaker 4>It's Los Angeles is the homeless veteran capital of America.

702
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.639
<v Speaker 4>And you know, to be able to put you know,

703
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.920
<v Speaker 4>as I said, there are five thousand veterans living on

704
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 4>that property. Do the maths. You kick five thousand out

705
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:23.840
<v Speaker 4>and then you have almost four thousand on housed fifty

706
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.440
<v Speaker 4>years later, it's pretty obviously what's happened there.

707
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just amazing to me that the land was

708
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:33.719
<v Speaker 1>donated specifically for those people and then they were kicked

709
00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:37.280
<v Speaker 1>out when that's what it is, like, how that decision

710
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:39.679
<v Speaker 1>was made, I don't get it. So they're trying to

711
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:41.920
<v Speaker 1>get control back of it, and there's the lawsuits going

712
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:44.199
<v Speaker 1>on right now, and we're expecting a decision about it

713
00:38:44.239 --> 00:38:44.679
<v Speaker 1>pretty soon.

714
00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's correct. So the whole story, I mean, and

715
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.159
<v Speaker 4>it's thirty five thousand words that we've written at Home

716
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Ofthebrave dot long lead dot com, you know, chronicles all

717
00:38:56.519 --> 00:39:00.880
<v Speaker 4>the way back to eighteen eighty seven actually, But we're

718

00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:09.239

721
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:11.360
<v Speaker 4>in the courtroom every single day and we're waiting for

722

<v Speaker 4>could be as soon as today, as late as Monday.

724
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, we're going to hope that the judge makes

725
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the right decision and let's the vets back on their

00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:56.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we owe it to them. We owe that much

737
00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:57.840

742
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:11.079
