Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caf I. I Am six forty. You're listening to the John
and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
For the men and women of the Sheriff Department, thank
you for being here today. Appreciate you, our trial team,
thank you, thank you so much for being here. Sure
you know someone that was a police officer for over
thirty years. This hits woman many ways, But they were
(00:30):
here to announce the filing of charges in the case
that deeply concerns all of us. Kevin Salisar is facing
charges of murder accompanied by three special circumstances allegations in
the murder of Deputy Ryan Klingham Broomer. First special circumstance
(00:53):
that we have all age that the killing was committed
against a peace officer, the second special circumstances that he
was lying and waiting, and the third is by means
the charge of a firearm from.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
A motor vehicle.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ryan was just thirty years old, losing eight year veteran
of the Los Angeles Sheriff Department serving Palmville and the
annal of alan.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
In.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Sheriff Luna said the other day that Ryan was a superstar.
He became a training officer, which is a position of
honor and reserved for the best of the best. Very
early in his career, he dedicated himself to the calling
(01:49):
that carries with it the weight of responsibility and the
promise of making our community safer. But his life wasn't
only a the uniform he worked or the start that
he probably in adorn on his chest. It was also
(02:10):
about the potential the life that he could have touched,
the crimes that he could have prevented, and the difference
that he could have made in the life of those
he swore to protect. He was newly engaged to be married.
He's a beloved his son, a brother, a colleague too many,
(02:37):
and a friend and a community member. His sacrifice serves
as a reminder of the courage and dedication that defines
our law enforcement community. The loss of any life is
a tragedy, but when a sworn officer, When it's a
(03:00):
sworn officer, someone who has taken an oath to protect
our communities and is taken from us, it cuts deeper.
As an assault on the very favor of our community
and civilization. It is a stark reminder of the dangers
or law enforcement officers face every day. While selfishly serving
(03:23):
and protecting our neighborhoods. Having served as a police officer myself,
I have personally experienced the bond that exists in law
enforcement community and light on the charges filed today, it
is imperative that justice be served. If the defendants found guilty,
(03:45):
he will face severe consequences. If convicted, the defense will
face sentence of life and imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Let me emphasize our pursuit of justice to start end
with his charges. Are dedicated team of prosecutors, alongside the
(04:08):
Sheriff Department and other agencies, will work tirelessly to ensure
every aspect of this case is thoroughly examined and that
all the evidence is meticulously presented and the truth.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Is brought to light.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
We owe it to Ryan, his family, and every member
of our community. The pursuit of justice is a solemn duty,
and I want to assure you that we will leave
no stern and turn in our efforts to bring closure
and accountability. I want to thank the community for the
(04:46):
help and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department for their
swift and unrelenting work apprehending the defendant in this coogarly
and senseless murder of Ryan. I want to thank Sheriff
Luna for his leadership during this incredible tracks tragedy, and
(05:11):
to Ryan's family, we want you to know that our
hearts ache with you, we share our grief, and we
stand with you during this profound time. Ryan's bravery and
unwavering commitment will never be forgotten, and his legacy will
(05:32):
live on the hearts of our community. We will honor
him his memory by continuing to work tirelessly in our
pursuit of justice in this case. I'm going to turn
it over now to Sheriff Luna and then we will
have I believe it's Brittany that is going to say
(05:55):
a few words, and then we'll answer any questions in English,
and now at the end we'll answer any questions that
you might have in Spanish. I thought I'm going to
turn it over to our share.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Again. Thank you all for coming here, and a lot
of what I'm going to say up here is is
really just a lot of thank yous. Most importantly, the
biggest thank you goes to the family here to my right,
not only for having the courage to stand here today,
(06:39):
which you can only imagine how difficult it is for them.
They just delivered their son's body from the corner's office
to a mortuary. Think about that for a second. They
are amazing. When you hear about all the stories about
(07:01):
Ryan and the incredible human being he was. You spend
two minutes with this family and you understand right away
why he was the way he was. Grandfather, father, mother
who served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, brother
(07:24):
who serves with another law enforcement agency, a neighboring agency.
Just incredible people, service running through their veins. And I
want to personally publicly thank you for sharing Ryan with us.
We can't thank you enough. Over to my left, you
(07:47):
have standing very proudly deputies from the Palmdale station who
are his brothers, who work with him day in and
day out. They put their life on the line every day,
just like Ryan did. And to remind everybody, Ryan had
just left the station in uniform in a black and
(08:08):
white police car, sitting there just waiting for a red
light to turn, and he's never coming home again. Thank
you for what you do, and I know you did
everything you could to take care of Ryan and to
take care of each other. We're hurting right now. The
(08:34):
family's hurting, this department's hurting. So I do appreciate all
the work that all of you did because you helped
us bring this case. You helped us arrest this individual
who committed this ambush murder of our deputy. You came,
(08:56):
you reported, people came forward, and in true partnership with
our community in Palmdale, people stepped up to the plate
and provided information to our detectives who are relentless. I
had to tell some of these men and women, hey,
you got to go home and get some rest. They
would look at me, turn away, and continue to work.
(09:20):
That's the level of commitment they showed to solve this
case all the way through to the arrest. The professionalism,
the discipline that they showed. And I also want to
end because honestly, you need to hear, excuse me, you
(09:40):
need to hear from Brittany. That's who we're here to
listen to. Before I turn it over to her. Just
please remember the pain that she's going through and we'll
continue to go through and I'm going to be standing
right next to her and I'm going to protect her
like a lion, So just please respect her but before
(10:03):
I turned the mic over to Brittany, I would like
to thank our district attorney. Him and I had several
conversations during the last several days. We promised the parents
that we would arrest this individual. They talked to me
about prosecution, and based on the DA's announcement today, we
(10:28):
are hoping for nothing less than the maximum punishment available
under the law for this individual. With that, I'm going
to turn it over to Brittany. I'll have her step up.
Please remember what she's been through the last three or
four days.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
My name is Brittany Lindsay, Ryan's fiance A B R
I T T A N Y l I N D
S E Y. First of all, I want to thank
each and every officer from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for everything you've done for our family the
last few days. I also want to say thank you
(11:20):
to anyone to help solve this case. Ryan was the
best guy I've ever met. He was so thoughtful, caring,
and everyone who met him or knew him loved him.
I'm so happy I was able to love him. It
(11:40):
was not long enough. I couldn't wait to start our
lives together. We were just engaged planning to get married
and start a family. Ryan, I miss you and I
love you so much. I don't know how without you,
(12:01):
and I didn't ever want to imagine it. Now, look
down on all your brothers and sisters in blue.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Them safe so this never.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Happens to anyone else, Protect them and watch over them
as they continue to serve their community.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Until we meet again.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Is there any questions in English?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Before we turn it over to Spanish.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
For doing this?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Can you talk a little bit about the special circumstances
and how do you sing those conclusions?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And it was that a tough decision?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
It was not a tough decision. Uh, we have a process.
I'm going to turn it over to the trial team
to get into the details. But I can tell you
that what made it tough is a tragedy. You know,
my family and I have been around policing since I
left the Army many years ago. I have been to
(13:05):
way too many funerals. I have talked way too many families,
both as a police officer, assistant chief and chief of police.
And I can tell you there's nothing more difficult for
me than what I've gone through in the last few days.
And I know that Sheriff Luna has had a lot
of sleepless nights. Clearly the family will be in trauma
(13:30):
for the rest of their life. So the decision was
not difficult. We follow it process and I'd like to
turn it over to our prosecutors that can give you
more details.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
For the question, Yeah, I wanted to find out about
you about the weapons, and it was purchase. Lebally stip
to the microphone, identify yourself.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
My name is Michael Blake, B L a k E.
And at this point I think it's really important to recognize.
I mean, the flags out here are still at half mass.
This is less than a week old. We just had
our very first appearance in court and this is the
kind of case that will be investigated all the way
(14:12):
until the end, until the end of the entire court process.
All we can say at this point about any weapon
is that we believe there was a purchase made in
the weeks before this crime occurred. But beyond that, at
this point we can't offer any details about any weapons
(14:32):
in the case.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Can at least tell us how many weapons were sized. No,
you mentioned the purchase, So, mister Blake, question is did
this man purchase that weapon?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Again, we believe the suspect in the case, who's now
the defendant, mister Salazar, did purchase a firearm in the
weeks before the crime occurred.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
But that's all we can say. Can you say legally purchased?
I cannot And can you just discuss what.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Has come forward as a to the deputy and the defendant.
Have they ever interacted before that they know each other?
Is he targeted specifically as this particular deputy.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Or is there are a different reason who may have
been targeted?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Well, you've seen the footage. He was certainly targeted. We're
learning more about the case as this unfolds. And again
where at the very very beginning, the Sheriff's Department has
done a monumental thing to solve this and get to
the point where we are today where we actually have
a prosecutable case. And now there's a long court process
and a very intensive investigation that's going to continue. But
(15:33):
I can't say any more than that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
But targeted, you say you've definitely targeted, We see targeted
as Deputy Brian he can runner or is he targeted
just any deputy?
Speaker 6 (15:42):
We can't answer that. I cannot answer that, mister guests going.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Uh, I'm sorry, it seems like it's a possitive death
penalty case.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
What is the status of your office policy on pursuing
the death County.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Look, see, if I followed the seeking the death penalty
was gonna bring Ryan back to us, I will seek
it without any reservation.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
But it won't.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
If I thought that the death penalty was gonna stop
people from committing brutal murders, I will seek it, but
we know that it won't. The reality is that the
death penalty doesn't serve as a deterrent, and the death
penalty does not bring people back. Let me, let me finish, please.
(16:36):
What I can assure you is that we're gonna do
everything within our legal power to make sure that this
defendant never gets out of prison.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, what interactions had had this defendant that had this
law enforcement? Had there been called to the homey at
home previously? They've been involuntary committed and you I'm sure
everyone he wants along this to their family.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Look, this is an ongoing investigation. You heard prosecutors. We
have a lot of ye yeah, sure, please yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
David Evasian A y V A z I A N.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Now we have unconfirmed reports that there may be a
mental health history. Uh, but we're gonna take every step
that we can with the Sheriff's department to get actual
records to see if there's been any actual contact with
any mental health professionals. And so at this point, I
don't think we can speculate as to what his mental
health history is or diagnose him. But it's an ongoing investigation. Obviously,
as as competent ethical prosecutors, we're not going to close
(17:43):
our eyes or ears to any evidence that we hear.
We're gonna do everything we can to build a full
picture of who this person is and in order to
determine what the motive was and what role, if any,
mental health played in this crime. It's ongoing investigation.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't want to discuss that.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Sure you can you cures us.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
There's a how many tips you.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Got in here?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
As you see from our partners at the District Attorney's office,
our job was to bring the community forward, get every
fact piece of evidence that we can provide so they
can present the best case possible. There are a lot
of factors involved here. There's a part of me that
(18:30):
wants to stand up here and say, hey, this is
this and there's so much unconfirmed information. We're still in
the process of putting it all together, which includes part
of the question you're asking. But I gotta be honest
with you. We have a long, difficult journey ahead of us,
and we.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Have where we will drop out of the news conference,
such as La County Sheriff Robert Luna speaking to the media.
And the last question was Steve Gregory got several questions
in there for if I news, if you've been listening,
But anyway, again, we're at the point now where everything
will get circular because the response will be we're still
early in the investigation. We can't speak to that, there's
(19:09):
unconfirmed reports, we don't know, blah blah, blah, blah blah.
Of course, the lead character in this drama at this
news conference is the La County District Attorney, George Gascone.
And you heard the question about the death penalty come
up at the end, and wow, the cliche if that
would bring back the officer, of course, bring back the officer.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
No, you know, the thing is now they can't even
plausibly say, well, it's going to be life, that's right.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Crazy here he said, though he says we will do
everything we can to make sure he never gets out
of prison.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But bf to that, except the laws have changed and
now people who have life in prison can get out.
Plus what if he gets the mentally ill plea and
he's found guilty by not guilty by reason of insanity.
Then we just talked last hour about a murderer who
may be on his way out in Orange County, same
kind of thing. This guy's only twenty nine. He could
(19:59):
be out in a few years once these fake, fraudulent
psychiatrists give us the all clear and they say, well,
you know, he now takes responsibility, he's aware of what
he did, he's taking his medication, and we think, which
is total, absolute garbage, and and so then he'll be
(20:19):
out in the street when he's thirty five years old,
forty years old. And now there is no life sentence anymore,
it doesn't exist. I don't think he understand Prop fifty seven.
So many measures they've passed, they are using that to
release people from these life terms. And Gascone is the
leading activist to get rid of life without parole.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
Right now, he's acting like he's all on the side
of the victims. That's not who he is no and cops.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You think he cares if cops get killed. He wants
to put cops in prison. He doesn't want to put
cop killers in prison as much as he wants to
put cops in prison. I mean, he keeps trying to
snow people. And and he he is. He's an evil,
dangerous fraud, is what he is. He has led the
(21:07):
crusade to get rid of life without parole. In fact,
he has said publicly that nobody should spend more than
twenty five years in prison, even if they murder. Yeah,
he believes that's enough time for even the worst of crimes.
Those are his words. That's right.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
So this somebody should have somebody should have held those
words up against him at this news conference. You don't
think that this killer or this cop killer will get out.
How come you once said that the twenty five years
is enough for any crime. That Salazar is twenty nine,
so we can expect at age fifty four he'll be
released under your policies.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The best, the best argument for the death penalty is
you can't get around the life with you can't get
around life without parole, because life without parole means parole
now means you you get out, right, somebody gets an
l oop sentence. It's bs.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Somebody gets a death only sentence, which doesn't happen anymore
in California. They can't get out with parole, right right,
Let's the governor does something, but not under the normal rules.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So the other thing that came up here, of course,
over and over again, is.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Well, if he has a history of mental illness, how
is he able to buy a gun. Well, apparently it
was previously stated that he does not have a criminal background,
so that's out of the picture, you know, So it's
all about his mentis mother says that he's been hospitalized
several times and twice attempted suicide.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Then you read the.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Story here and it gets complicated and I hate that term,
but it's all about whether or not he was admitted,
whether he was involuntarily admitted. And it's possible they say
that because he's got certain different names. I mean, he's
being identified in most stories as Kevin kat the Neo Salazar.
But it's possible that they could not track that person
(22:46):
looking to purchase a gun. What a lot of mental
health records?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Oh real, Well, why don't they put in a social
Security number? Why don't they put in a driver's license number,
some kind of ID number, with a photo, with an address,
with a history. You double and triple check who it
is that's applying for a gun. These are all nonsense,
bureaucratic excuses. I hate the phrase I see in all
the headlines slipped through the cracks, like it was some
(23:12):
water damage at an apartment building. Oh, yeah, the water
got through the cracks. Oh the mice, Yeah, the mice
slipped through the cracks. This was an extreme mental patient
who repeatedly threatened suicide. Repeatedly, They called the cops for
his violent behavior, repeatedly, put in some kind of mental
hold at a mental institution. Slipped through the cracks. No,
(23:35):
it is some weasley little office worker or bureaucrat who
didn't do their job. Because as soon as the person
shows up in the mental hospital and then shows up
again and then has all these police calls again and again,
that information should be typed into the system and it
should be flashing red on the screen whenever somebody is
(23:56):
selling him a gun. It's like WHOA wait is sec
and there's light splashing on ice. Wow, look this hit.
It should show up immediately right when the cops pull
you over, they get your driver's license, they immediately put
it and they immediately see on the screen everything about you.
They see if there are warrants out for you. Yeah,
whatever's in the records. So it's that somebody didn't put
(24:20):
it in the records. Some you know, fifteen dollars an
hour office waste product didn't do their job. There's no
oversight because who in government cares? You think government offers
workers care when they have to put in all this
data processing information. They don't care. That's why all this
gun control stuff is a waste of time, because even
(24:42):
if you pass a bill that looks like it makes
sense on paper, you don't have the personnel who care
enough to follow through slip through the cracks. How hard
is it to put the new mental patient's name in
the system, And yet you can get his real name,
and you can get his phone number, his driver's license number,
his social secure any number. It doesn't matter if there's
a lot of guys named Kevin Salazar. Stop it already
(25:05):
not that complicated. How hard would it be to get
a gun illegally? Anyway?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
If this is a crazy person, he wants to have
a gun because the voices in her head are telling
him that there's threats against him. This paragraph from the
Elsagundo Times, cat Neo Salazar had purchased a handgun recently,
according to a law enforcement source, who of course requested anonymity.
Cat Neo Salazar's recom in case. He was barred from
purchasing a firearm in California until twenty twenty six, potentially
(25:33):
from his involuntary hospitalization in twenty twenty one. But it's
possible he lied on the form when he purchased a
gun hunter Biden, or that he had multiple variations of his.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Name that could have been missed in the state database.
But all that's fixable if you have competent people who
had even community college degrees.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Yeah, it's like you said, to attach some other type
of idtail like this, so security numbers, some type of
identifying information to make sure you're talking about the person
talking about.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I love these bureaucratic explanations. Well, I guess somebody didn't
do this and they didn't put input that, and we
got confused about do your job right. You don't have
a hard job. Do it right. Now. We have a
we have a dead sheriff's deputy because of you. In fact,
the names of the people who handled this case, they
had to be publicized too. These these in fact, you
just have to do this once. You have to pablicize
(26:22):
the name of the sloppy government workers who didn't do
the data processing properly and say, you know what, these
people had a role in uh in this officer's death.
And then you know what, people get a lot sharper
when they show up for work on Monday. You know
they're going to take a little more care when they
get the new reports in.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
And now you got the family members screaming about his
mental illness. And oh, he didn't kill anybody, the disease
killed that poor sheriff's deputy.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
No, he did. He probably had voices telling him to kill.
He bought the gun. It took him a few weeks
before he selected the officer to kill. And and and
and they they had guns in their house. How come
that story disappeared? Yeah, supposedly his father had a bunch
of guns. Why does his father have a bunch of guns.
You have a bunch of guns when your son's a
(27:08):
paranoid schizophrenic. What's how crazy is that?
Speaker 8 (27:12):
The current story is that there was a few weapons
in the house, not like forty that we heard the
other day, but there was a few, and only one
they're tracing directly to this guy is being purchased by him.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
So you're listening to John and Ken on demand from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
On the radio from one till four after four o'clock.
You realize, Ah, I missed a lot. You go to
the John and Ken on demand podcast on the iHeart app.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
How confused are some listeners going to be? They grabbed
the podcast and they just grabbed the third hour first,
and there's George guests going to doing the show.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Our guest host today is George Gascon.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
The Moist line is coming back in two days, will
be the first time in two weeks at plays. So
we look for your input. We hope I use the
iHeartRadio app. The microphone iconnor called the Tolphrey number one
eight seven seven Moist eighty six one eight seven seven
six six four seven eight eighty six. Well, John, I
know you'll enjoy this update because there is another update
on the F thirty five fighter jet that went missing
(28:10):
that eventually crashed into a field in one hundred million
dollar stealth Fighter Jet. It crashed and they couldn't find
it for twenty eight hours. That's your US government, that's
john Military. This is in South Carolina. That it was
missing for quite a few hours. We now hear that
there were people that heard it crashing. They could hear
(28:31):
the noise of its screeching as it was heading down.
It's one hundred million dollar F thirty five fighter.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Jets, state of the art.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
The pilot who ejected claimed to have lost the plane
in the weather. Still not there was some kind of
malfunction that they're not telling us exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
But he decided that it was.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Too unsafe for him to stay in the plane, so
he put it on autopilot, although they're backing off on that.
They're not sure. And then he bailed out. But he
did not do and this is key, he did not
activate the tracking system, so.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Does according to he's unsure of where his plane crashed,
and he just lost it in the weather, according to
a recording that was made. So I'm guessing here, I'm
really very.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Very landed in a North Charleston residential neighborhood, went to
a hospital for treatment. He's since been discharged His military
officials have not released a specific reason for his hasty exit,
just calling it a malfunction.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Right, But do they not? And if this question sounds
stupid to a military person, please forgive me. But I
think I'm speaking for a lot of people. Did he
not turn on? They don't always have the transponder on
because then the plane wouldn't be stealth anymore.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Correct, You see, the pilot was likely operating the stealth
fighter without any tracking capabilities activated, because that's what you
do with it. You don't want to tract. But if
he's ejecting, he probably should have turned it on. Wow,
it's flying on its own.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
If you feel you have to eject, I guess your
mind might get a little scrambled.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
In fact, this is what the aviation expert said. If
you turned on the onboard device, it'd be easily trackable.
But this is a stealth aircraft. If you don't turn
that particular device on, it's going to be hard to
make contact. Most likely he or she did not have
a lot of time to react and just didn't do that,
and that's why they couldn't.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And when he said he lost it in the weather,
does that mean that's kind of a strange phrase.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
It is a strange phrase. It tells me that for
some reason he thought it was too unsafe to operate.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Then he had to get out of there. But we
don't have the detail. How bad was the weather? I mean,
you think a stealth fighter could handle a thunderstorm. I
don't know. That's a weird or with some funky going
on that they don't want to explain. What I don't.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Understand is, yeah, this aviation experts says, this is unusual.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
What is the harm? The onboard device has not been
turned on, it's not being tracked, So it makes perfect
sense that they're going to ask for help from people
in the area who may have seen the jet hitting
in their direction. But my problem is it could have
killed people.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Yes, it crashed into a wooded area sixty miles from
where he parachutes. You have crashed into a city, And
why don't you have to transponder on because I understand
it removes the stealth aspect, But who are you invading
you're in South Carolina. Well, it's to make sure it's
working and it's a good self plan. I mean, it's
(31:35):
like and maybe the auto trying to sneak up by
I wonder if they're going to tell us that the
autopilot system can detect, you know, whether or not it's
safe to land or crash, rather than just it was
on its own and it just ran out of fuel,
and just that's what I assumed happened, right, it just
ran out of fuel. But maybe it's self crashed. Maybe
(31:57):
it's that smart I found it wooded area.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
There's you know what, this is fascinating, but nobody's ever
going to explain it, right because this is probably all
top secret stuff. Yeah, were they were they testing out
some new version of the plane.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Now, Deborah Mark, did you play somebody's imitation of the
screeching of the plane? I thought I heard you play
that earlier in the show. Or did I mishear that
for a different story?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
No, I did not play that, all right.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Local residents in the area heard an ear piercing screech
before a massive boom that shook their homes.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Can listen to another newscas.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
It's okay, I thought I heard you play something where
the guy was making a screeching noise, But maybe I
imagine that.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
No, I'm trying to remember what's You're right, there was
a story it was.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
It's a different story, but there was a guy making
a screeching noise. Because they caught my attention through my headphones.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I heard, Yeah, like a.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Plane shouldn't be making a screeching noise. Well, if it's
going back, it's going down. Yet it's probably gonna make right.
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Even though it's apparently got some tech issues, it is
still considered the top fighter jet around the world.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
That's that's our best one. Huh. That is one hundred
million dollars of rubbles smoking in the mountains? Or is
this the pilot that really messed up this more than anything? Well,
what's the discipline when you've destroyed a one hundred million
dollar fighter jet? Like well, once he gets out of
the hospital, I'm sure he has quite an explanation. This
(33:24):
is why he considered it too safe to fight truck drivers.
Right if they if they crash a truck and it's
their fault, that's it.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
You know, they're they're not asked back exactly. Yeah, both
stories I'm looking at. Questions remain why the pilot ejected
and why the jet appeared to have continued flying undetected.
Uh as I said, Apparently he did leave it an
auto pilot when he ejected from the aircraft.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
So guy's got a lot of explaining to do. So
it runs until it's out of gas.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
I'm thinking that's what happened, right. I don't know whether
it's dangerous. They could somehow control it remotely. I have
no idea, but the fact that it crashed in that
field that nobody for miles tells me that maybe there
was something they were able to do to make sure
it didn't kill people.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
I am not getting a signal here, old on, Oh no,
you've shorted out. No signal.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Well, we're going to talk about one of our favorite
topics in the last couple of years. Seventy nine year
old Rudy Giuliani is back in the news again. There
is a woman by the name of Cassidy Hutchinson you
might be you might remember her. She was a former
Trump aid, an attractive young woman who testified before the.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
January sixth committee hearings.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
She's the one that said that Trump tried to put
his hands around the throat of the driver.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Remember that. Yes, she's got a book, a memoir. She's
twenty seven. Well, oh, you know a lie. You're dealing
with Trump and Giuliani. There's probably a second volume coming.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Well, the story it's making the news isn't so much
about Trump and January sixth. But she claims that on
that day, January sixth, as they were preparing for Trump's
big speech before the marchers went to the Capitol, they
were backstage in a tent and uh, well, Rudy Giuliani
got a little frisky with her. I felt his frozen
(35:26):
fingers trail up my thigh. Oh that's a terrible sensation.
Apparently it started with Giuliani admiring the leather outfit she
was wearing. He started to fondle her clothing, and then
eventually his fingers moved up.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
He really lost his mind.
Speaker 8 (35:48):
I mean, he just put his hand under my blazer,
then my shirt, like a wolf closing in on his prey.
He fingered the fabric. That's what she claims. I'm loving this.
Let their jacket on you, she says. He said, fingering
the fabric. But then eventually his hands, she claims, went
up her thighs. He described him his frozen fingers because
(36:09):
it was a chilly day.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
But was his hair dye running down his face? Because
that's uh, he was.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
And I just loved the moment too, Like there, just
before this big event where Trump is going to speak,
speak about stop the steal. Rudy's there, check it out,
Cassidy Hutchinson, and you know, cops of Field, do.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
You know he's going bankrupt? Well on top of everything else, he's.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
Got a lot of legal bills, and I mean, and
he could be he could be going to prison over
that Georgia case.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Right, yes, yeah, he's indicted on that. And and in
the middle of all this, he's he's running his cold
dead fingers.
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Yeah, she says, uh, tilts his chin up.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
The whites of his eyes look jaundiced.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
My eyes dart to Oh yeah, my eyes dart to
Johnny Eastman, who flashes a leering grin. Johnny Smith, he
was there too, obviously. I fight again the tension of
my muscles and recoil from Rudy's grip. Filled with rage,
I stormed through the tent. Yet another quest I have
to do for Mark Meadows, who was Trump's top paid
at the time.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
God, what a dirty business. Huh.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
Somebody told her, you know, it's you can write a
book about Obviously your experience is connected to the January sixth,
But he got anything good on the side we could
throw in there to get people.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Well, yeah, this is Rudy Giuliani's story. Sure, this sells
the book. Now, this stuff even works on me because
I got a Kindle account and then they sell the
Kindle books for like nine ninety nine. Oh so I
hear one good Segment's like, yeah, okay, for nine bucks,
I'll read that. And I've got all kinds of books
piled up that I've haven't gotten to its.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
It says that Rudy Giuliana's former lawyers suit him, alleging
that he has not paid but a fraction of the
one point six million dollars in.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Legal fees that he's owed. He's been begging, I mean
hands and knees, begging Trump to bail him out. And
Trump has held a couple of fundraisers and actually gets
these these rich business goons to show up and they're
paying thousands of dollars at some galea fundraiser to bail
(38:14):
out Rudy Giuliani's legal bills. Oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:18):
In fact, he's got a website that's a legal defense fund.
Story also says in July he sold his Manhattan apartment
for up to for six and a half million dollars, right, so.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
And he's gonna have to turn everything over to the lawyers. Oh,
otherwise he's going to die in prison. He may die
in prison anyway and be bankrupt. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:36):
The story has this one of his immediate defenders saying,
this is a man who cleaned up New York City
and comforted the nation following September eleventh.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Hey took down the mafia. You know what, dare you
say this about it? I tell people all the time
that the best mayoral performance I've ever seen in my
life was Rudy Giuliani in the nineteen New York City Yeah,
still number one. Now it's embarrassing. You can't even talk
about that anymore. People look at you the same Rudy. Yeah,
because there's a whole generation that only knows this Rudy.
(39:03):
They don't know the Rudy from twenty five years ago,
who was a superhero. I don't know conways here, Hey, now, hey,
now doctor rak As Sherry's coming on with this. We'll
ask him if we should get the vax or the
boost or you know, eh, whatever it's going on. Tired boosters.
How many boosters have you had? I had them up
to the last one, but I don't want to get this.
Speaker 10 (39:23):
Yeah, I got addicted to inoculations. I had fifteen or sixteen?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Wow? Yeah, and you like it at jam What do
you like to get them? Anywhere? Anywhere? Doesn't matter me.
Speaker 10 (39:33):
Man Ornie Adams very funny comics coming on with us
at six o'clock to do news and sit in on
the program.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
All right, he's right right.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
And then we also have the Sierra Madre bear encounters. Man,
every news station stops whenever they see a bear. Everybody's
live the hell like a.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Shark in the water. So exciting, almost as good as
the car chase. But it's late.
Speaker 10 (39:56):
Yeah, it's almost become like the you know, the the
Dave for April fifteenth, you know, or the day before
Christmas with the traffic. It's so mundane where you know,
there's a bear on the loose and everybody shows.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
It like maybe I'll eat somebody. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (40:10):
But they never attack anybody, you know, they just come
in for a meal and they split it in.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Food, right, you see the one in Alaska. It got
inside a Krispy Krean truck and boy went nuts on
the donuts.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Not right, really?
Speaker 8 (40:24):
Oh yeah, this poor thing must have ended up diabetic
boxes and boxes and Chrispy.
Speaker 10 (40:29):
You know they say, once these bears get a taste
of human food, they're not gonna eat that other crap again.
Speaker 8 (40:35):
I still remember the bear that was breaking into the
person's freezer, yeah, garage and eating the Costco meatballs.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Remember that story. It loved the Costco meatballs meatballs? Yeah,
and also had problems afterwards. You no kidding? Everybody runs
everybody conway, all right? Thank god? With you? Doctor Ray.
He's walking back to the studio, wave in his arms.
(41:01):
He's pissed at something. If you keep listening, you might
understand why.
Speaker 10 (41:04):
Oh see there he's hot, you get he's an acquired taste.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Man, he gets hot. I like it. What can go
wrong here? I don't know? Are you ready? All right?
Grozier with the news Live in the twenty four camp.
Speaker 8 (41:19):
Hey, you've been listening to the John and Ken Show.
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty one pm to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app,
Caf I. I Am six forty. You're listening to the John
and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
For the men and women of the Sheriff Department, thank
you for being here today. Appreciate you, our trial team,
thank you, thank you so much for being here. Sure
you know someone that was a police officer for over
thirty years. This hits woman many ways, But they were
(00:30):
here to announce the filing of charges in the case
that deeply concerns all of us. Kevin Salisar is facing
charges of murder accompanied by three special circumstances allegations in
the murder of Deputy Ryan Klingham Broomer. First special circumstance
(00:53):
that we have all age that the killing was committed
against a peace officer, the second special circumstances that he
was lying and waiting, and the third is by means
the charge of a firearm from.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
A motor vehicle.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ryan was just thirty years old, losing eight year veteran
of the Los Angeles Sheriff Department serving Palmville and the
annal of alan.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
In.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Sheriff Luna said the other day that Ryan was a superstar.
He became a training officer, which is a position of
honor and reserved for the best of the best. Very
early in his career, he dedicated himself to the calling
(01:49):
that carries with it the weight of responsibility and the
promise of making our community safer. But his life wasn't
only a the uniform he worked or the start that
he probably in adorn on his chest. It was also
(02:10):
about the potential the life that he could have touched,
the crimes that he could have prevented, and the difference
that he could have made in the life of those
he swore to protect. He was newly engaged to be married.
He's a beloved his son, a brother, a colleague too many,
(02:37):
and a friend and a community member. His sacrifice serves
as a reminder of the courage and dedication that defines
our law enforcement community. The loss of any life is
a tragedy, but when a sworn officer, When it's a
(03:00):
sworn officer, someone who has taken an oath to protect
our communities and is taken from us, it cuts deeper.
As an assault on the very favor of our community
and civilization. It is a stark reminder of the dangers
or law enforcement officers face every day. While selfishly serving
(03:23):
and protecting our neighborhoods. Having served as a police officer myself,
I have personally experienced the bond that exists in law
enforcement community and light on the charges filed today, it
is imperative that justice be served. If the defendants found guilty,
(03:45):
he will face severe consequences. If convicted, the defense will
face sentence of life and imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Let me emphasize our pursuit of justice to start end
with his charges. Are dedicated team of prosecutors, alongside the
(04:08):
Sheriff Department and other agencies, will work tirelessly to ensure
every aspect of this case is thoroughly examined and that
all the evidence is meticulously presented and the truth.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Is brought to light.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
We owe it to Ryan, his family, and every member
of our community. The pursuit of justice is a solemn duty,
and I want to assure you that we will leave
no stern and turn in our efforts to bring closure
and accountability. I want to thank the community for the
(04:46):
help and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department for their
swift and unrelenting work apprehending the defendant in this coogarly
and senseless murder of Ryan. I want to thank Sheriff
Luna for his leadership during this incredible tracks tragedy, and
(05:11):
to Ryan's family, we want you to know that our
hearts ache with you, we share our grief, and we
stand with you during this profound time. Ryan's bravery and
unwavering commitment will never be forgotten, and his legacy will
(05:32):
live on the hearts of our community. We will honor
him his memory by continuing to work tirelessly in our
pursuit of justice in this case. I'm going to turn
it over now to Sheriff Luna and then we will
have I believe it's Brittany that is going to say
(05:55):
a few words, and then we'll answer any questions in English,
and now at the end we'll answer any questions that
you might have in Spanish. I thought I'm going to
turn it over to our share.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Again. Thank you all for coming here, and a lot
of what I'm going to say up here is is
really just a lot of thank yous. Most importantly, the
biggest thank you goes to the family here to my right,
not only for having the courage to stand here today,
(06:39):
which you can only imagine how difficult it is for them.
They just delivered their son's body from the corner's office
to a mortuary. Think about that for a second. They
are amazing. When you hear about all the stories about
(07:01):
Ryan and the incredible human being he was. You spend
two minutes with this family and you understand right away
why he was the way he was. Grandfather, father, mother
who served with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, brother
(07:24):
who serves with another law enforcement agency, a neighboring agency.
Just incredible people, service running through their veins. And I
want to personally publicly thank you for sharing Ryan with us.
We can't thank you enough. Over to my left, you
(07:47):
have standing very proudly deputies from the Palmdale station who
are his brothers, who work with him day in and
day out. They put their life on the line every day,
just like Ryan did. And to remind everybody, Ryan had
just left the station in uniform in a black and
(08:08):
white police car, sitting there just waiting for a red
light to turn, and he's never coming home again. Thank
you for what you do, and I know you did
everything you could to take care of Ryan and to
take care of each other. We're hurting right now. The
(08:34):
family's hurting, this department's hurting. So I do appreciate all
the work that all of you did because you helped
us bring this case. You helped us arrest this individual
who committed this ambush murder of our deputy. You came,
(08:56):
you reported, people came forward, and in true partnership with
our community in Palmdale, people stepped up to the plate
and provided information to our detectives who are relentless. I
had to tell some of these men and women, hey,
you got to go home and get some rest. They
would look at me, turn away, and continue to work.
(09:20):
That's the level of commitment they showed to solve this
case all the way through to the arrest. The professionalism,
the discipline that they showed. And I also want to
end because honestly, you need to hear, excuse me, you
(09:40):
need to hear from Brittany. That's who we're here to
listen to. Before I turn it over to her. Just
please remember the pain that she's going through and we'll
continue to go through and I'm going to be standing
right next to her and I'm going to protect her
like a lion, So just please respect her but before
(10:03):
I turned the mic over to Brittany, I would like
to thank our district attorney. Him and I had several
conversations during the last several days. We promised the parents
that we would arrest this individual. They talked to me
about prosecution, and based on the DA's announcement today, we
(10:28):
are hoping for nothing less than the maximum punishment available
under the law for this individual. With that, I'm going
to turn it over to Brittany. I'll have her step up.
Please remember what she's been through the last three or
four days.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
My name is Brittany Lindsay, Ryan's fiance A B R
I T T A N Y l I N D
S E Y. First of all, I want to thank
each and every officer from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for everything you've done for our family the
last few days. I also want to say thank you
(11:20):
to anyone to help solve this case. Ryan was the
best guy I've ever met. He was so thoughtful, caring,
and everyone who met him or knew him loved him.
I'm so happy I was able to love him. It
(11:40):
was not long enough. I couldn't wait to start our
lives together. We were just engaged planning to get married
and start a family. Ryan, I miss you and I
love you so much. I don't know how without you,
(12:01):
and I didn't ever want to imagine it. Now, look
down on all your brothers and sisters in blue.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Them safe so this never.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Happens to anyone else, Protect them and watch over them
as they continue to serve their community.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Until we meet again.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Is there any questions in English?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Before we turn it over to Spanish.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
For doing this?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
Can you talk a little bit about the special circumstances
and how do you sing those conclusions?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And it was that a tough decision?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
It was not a tough decision. Uh, we have a process.
I'm going to turn it over to the trial team
to get into the details. But I can tell you
that what made it tough is a tragedy. You know,
my family and I have been around policing since I
left the Army many years ago. I have been to
(13:05):
way too many funerals. I have talked way too many families,
both as a police officer, assistant chief and chief of police.
And I can tell you there's nothing more difficult for
me than what I've gone through in the last few days.
And I know that Sheriff Luna has had a lot
of sleepless nights. Clearly the family will be in trauma
(13:30):
for the rest of their life. So the decision was
not difficult. We follow it process and I'd like to
turn it over to our prosecutors that can give you
more details.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
For the question, Yeah, I wanted to find out about
you about the weapons, and it was purchase. Lebally stip
to the microphone, identify yourself.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
My name is Michael Blake, B L a k E.
And at this point I think it's really important to recognize.
I mean, the flags out here are still at half mass.
This is less than a week old. We just had
our very first appearance in court and this is the
kind of case that will be investigated all the way
(14:12):
until the end, until the end of the entire court process.
All we can say at this point about any weapon
is that we believe there was a purchase made in
the weeks before this crime occurred. But beyond that, at
this point we can't offer any details about any weapons
(14:32):
in the case.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Can at least tell us how many weapons were sized. No,
you mentioned the purchase, So, mister Blake, question is did
this man purchase that weapon?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Again, we believe the suspect in the case, who's now
the defendant, mister Salazar, did purchase a firearm in the
weeks before the crime occurred.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
But that's all we can say. Can you say legally purchased?
I cannot And can you just discuss what.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Has come forward as a to the deputy and the defendant.
Have they ever interacted before that they know each other?
Is he targeted specifically as this particular deputy.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Or is there are a different reason who may have
been targeted?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Well, you've seen the footage. He was certainly targeted. We're
learning more about the case as this unfolds. And again
where at the very very beginning, the Sheriff's Department has
done a monumental thing to solve this and get to
the point where we are today where we actually have
a prosecutable case. And now there's a long court process
and a very intensive investigation that's going to continue. But
(15:33):
I can't say any more than that.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
But targeted, you say you've definitely targeted, We see targeted
as Deputy Brian he can runner or is he targeted
just any deputy?
Speaker 6 (15:42):
We can't answer that. I cannot answer that, mister guests going.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Uh, I'm sorry, it seems like it's a possitive death
penalty case.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
What is the status of your office policy on pursuing
the death County.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Look, see, if I followed the seeking the death penalty
was gonna bring Ryan back to us, I will seek
it without any reservation.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
But it won't.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
If I thought that the death penalty was gonna stop
people from committing brutal murders, I will seek it, but
we know that it won't. The reality is that the
death penalty doesn't serve as a deterrent, and the death
penalty does not bring people back. Let me, let me finish, please.
(16:36):
What I can assure you is that we're gonna do
everything within our legal power to make sure that this
defendant never gets out of prison.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Yes, what interactions had had this defendant that had this
law enforcement? Had there been called to the homey at
home previously? They've been involuntary committed and you I'm sure
everyone he wants along this to their family.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Look, this is an ongoing investigation. You heard prosecutors. We
have a lot of ye yeah, sure, please yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
David Evasian A y V A z I A N.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Now we have unconfirmed reports that there may be a
mental health history. Uh, but we're gonna take every step
that we can with the Sheriff's department to get actual
records to see if there's been any actual contact with
any mental health professionals. And so at this point, I
don't think we can speculate as to what his mental
health history is or diagnose him. But it's an ongoing investigation. Obviously,
as as competent ethical prosecutors, we're not going to close
(17:43):
our eyes or ears to any evidence that we hear.
We're gonna do everything we can to build a full
picture of who this person is and in order to
determine what the motive was and what role, if any,
mental health played in this crime. It's ongoing investigation.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't want to discuss that.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Sure you can you cures us.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
There's a how many tips you.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Got in here?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
As you see from our partners at the District Attorney's office,
our job was to bring the community forward, get every
fact piece of evidence that we can provide so they
can present the best case possible. There are a lot
of factors involved here. There's a part of me that
(18:30):
wants to stand up here and say, hey, this is
this and there's so much unconfirmed information. We're still in
the process of putting it all together, which includes part
of the question you're asking. But I gotta be honest
with you. We have a long, difficult journey ahead of us,
and we.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Have where we will drop out of the news conference,
such as La County Sheriff Robert Luna speaking to the media.
And the last question was Steve Gregory got several questions
in there for if I news, if you've been listening,
But anyway, again, we're at the point now where everything
will get circular because the response will be we're still
early in the investigation. We can't speak to that, there's
(19:09):
unconfirmed reports, we don't know, blah blah, blah, blah blah.
Of course, the lead character in this drama at this
news conference is the La County District Attorney, George Gascone.
And you heard the question about the death penalty come
up at the end, and wow, the cliche if that
would bring back the officer, of course, bring back the officer.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
No, you know, the thing is now they can't even
plausibly say, well, it's going to be life, that's right.
Speaker 8 (19:34):
Crazy here he said, though he says we will do
everything we can to make sure he never gets out
of prison.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But bf to that, except the laws have changed and
now people who have life in prison can get out.
Plus what if he gets the mentally ill plea and
he's found guilty by not guilty by reason of insanity.
Then we just talked last hour about a murderer who
may be on his way out in Orange County, same
kind of thing. This guy's only twenty nine. He could
(19:59):
be out in a few years once these fake, fraudulent
psychiatrists give us the all clear and they say, well,
you know, he now takes responsibility, he's aware of what
he did, he's taking his medication, and we think, which
is total, absolute garbage, and and so then he'll be
(20:19):
out in the street when he's thirty five years old,
forty years old. And now there is no life sentence anymore,
it doesn't exist. I don't think he understand Prop fifty seven.
So many measures they've passed, they are using that to
release people from these life terms. And Gascone is the
leading activist to get rid of life without parole.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
Right now, he's acting like he's all on the side
of the victims. That's not who he is no and cops.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You think he cares if cops get killed. He wants
to put cops in prison. He doesn't want to put
cop killers in prison as much as he wants to
put cops in prison. I mean, he keeps trying to
snow people. And and he he is. He's an evil,
dangerous fraud, is what he is. He has led the
(21:07):
crusade to get rid of life without parole. In fact,
he has said publicly that nobody should spend more than
twenty five years in prison, even if they murder. Yeah,
he believes that's enough time for even the worst of crimes.
Those are his words. That's right.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
So this somebody should have somebody should have held those
words up against him at this news conference. You don't
think that this killer or this cop killer will get out.
How come you once said that the twenty five years
is enough for any crime. That Salazar is twenty nine,
so we can expect at age fifty four he'll be
released under your policies.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The best, the best argument for the death penalty is
you can't get around the life with you can't get
around life without parole, because life without parole means parole
now means you you get out, right, somebody gets an
l oop sentence. It's bs.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Somebody gets a death only sentence, which doesn't happen anymore
in California. They can't get out with parole, right right,
Let's the governor does something, but not under the normal rules.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So the other thing that came up here, of course,
over and over again, is.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Well, if he has a history of mental illness, how
is he able to buy a gun. Well, apparently it
was previously stated that he does not have a criminal background,
so that's out of the picture, you know, So it's
all about his mentis mother says that he's been hospitalized
several times and twice attempted suicide.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Then you read the.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
Story here and it gets complicated and I hate that term,
but it's all about whether or not he was admitted,
whether he was involuntarily admitted. And it's possible they say
that because he's got certain different names. I mean, he's
being identified in most stories as Kevin kat the Neo Salazar.
But it's possible that they could not track that person
(22:46):
looking to purchase a gun. What a lot of mental
health records?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Oh real, Well, why don't they put in a social
Security number? Why don't they put in a driver's license number,
some kind of ID number, with a photo, with an address,
with a history. You double and triple check who it
is that's applying for a gun. These are all nonsense,
bureaucratic excuses. I hate the phrase I see in all
the headlines slipped through the cracks, like it was some
(23:12):
water damage at an apartment building. Oh, yeah, the water
got through the cracks. Oh the mice, Yeah, the mice
slipped through the cracks. This was an extreme mental patient
who repeatedly threatened suicide. Repeatedly, They called the cops for
his violent behavior, repeatedly, put in some kind of mental
hold at a mental institution. Slipped through the cracks. No,
(23:35):
it is some weasley little office worker or bureaucrat who
didn't do their job. Because as soon as the person
shows up in the mental hospital and then shows up
again and then has all these police calls again and again,
that information should be typed into the system and it
should be flashing red on the screen whenever somebody is
(23:56):
selling him a gun. It's like WHOA wait is sec
and there's light splashing on ice. Wow, look this hit.
It should show up immediately right when the cops pull
you over, they get your driver's license, they immediately put
it and they immediately see on the screen everything about you.
They see if there are warrants out for you. Yeah,
whatever's in the records. So it's that somebody didn't put
(24:20):
it in the records. Some you know, fifteen dollars an
hour office waste product didn't do their job. There's no
oversight because who in government cares? You think government offers
workers care when they have to put in all this
data processing information. They don't care. That's why all this
gun control stuff is a waste of time, because even
(24:42):
if you pass a bill that looks like it makes
sense on paper, you don't have the personnel who care
enough to follow through slip through the cracks. How hard
is it to put the new mental patient's name in
the system, And yet you can get his real name,
and you can get his phone number, his driver's license number,
his social secure any number. It doesn't matter if there's
a lot of guys named Kevin Salazar. Stop it already
(25:05):
not that complicated. How hard would it be to get
a gun illegally? Anyway?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
If this is a crazy person, he wants to have
a gun because the voices in her head are telling
him that there's threats against him. This paragraph from the
Elsagundo Times, cat Neo Salazar had purchased a handgun recently,
according to a law enforcement source, who of course requested anonymity.
Cat Neo Salazar's recom in case. He was barred from
purchasing a firearm in California until twenty twenty six, potentially
(25:33):
from his involuntary hospitalization in twenty twenty one. But it's
possible he lied on the form when he purchased a
gun hunter Biden, or that he had multiple variations of his.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Name that could have been missed in the state database.
But all that's fixable if you have competent people who
had even community college degrees.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Yeah, it's like you said, to attach some other type
of idtail like this, so security numbers, some type of
identifying information to make sure you're talking about the person
talking about.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I love these bureaucratic explanations. Well, I guess somebody didn't
do this and they didn't put input that, and we
got confused about do your job right. You don't have
a hard job. Do it right. Now. We have a
we have a dead sheriff's deputy because of you. In fact,
the names of the people who handled this case, they
had to be publicized too. These these in fact, you
just have to do this once. You have to pablicize
(26:22):
the name of the sloppy government workers who didn't do
the data processing properly and say, you know what, these
people had a role in uh in this officer's death.
And then you know what, people get a lot sharper
when they show up for work on Monday. You know
they're going to take a little more care when they
get the new reports in.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
And now you got the family members screaming about his
mental illness. And oh, he didn't kill anybody, the disease
killed that poor sheriff's deputy.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
No, he did. He probably had voices telling him to kill.
He bought the gun. It took him a few weeks
before he selected the officer to kill. And and and
and they they had guns in their house. How come
that story disappeared? Yeah, supposedly his father had a bunch
of guns. Why does his father have a bunch of guns.
You have a bunch of guns when your son's a
(27:08):
paranoid schizophrenic. What's how crazy is that?
Speaker 8 (27:12):
The current story is that there was a few weapons
in the house, not like forty that we heard the
other day, but there was a few, and only one
they're tracing directly to this guy is being purchased by him.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
So you're listening to John and Ken on demand from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
On the radio from one till four after four o'clock.
You realize, Ah, I missed a lot. You go to
the John and Ken on demand podcast on the iHeart app.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
How confused are some listeners going to be? They grabbed
the podcast and they just grabbed the third hour first,
and there's George guests going to doing the show.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Our guest host today is George Gascon.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
The Moist line is coming back in two days, will
be the first time in two weeks at plays. So
we look for your input. We hope I use the
iHeartRadio app. The microphone iconnor called the Tolphrey number one
eight seven seven Moist eighty six one eight seven seven
six six four seven eight eighty six. Well, John, I
know you'll enjoy this update because there is another update
on the F thirty five fighter jet that went missing
(28:10):
that eventually crashed into a field in one hundred million
dollar stealth Fighter Jet. It crashed and they couldn't find
it for twenty eight hours. That's your US government, that's
john Military. This is in South Carolina. That it was
missing for quite a few hours. We now hear that
there were people that heard it crashing. They could hear
(28:31):
the noise of its screeching as it was heading down.
It's one hundred million dollar F thirty five fighter.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Jets, state of the art.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
The pilot who ejected claimed to have lost the plane
in the weather. Still not there was some kind of
malfunction that they're not telling us exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
But he decided that it was.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Too unsafe for him to stay in the plane, so
he put it on autopilot, although they're backing off on that.
They're not sure. And then he bailed out. But he
did not do and this is key, he did not
activate the tracking system, so.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Does according to he's unsure of where his plane crashed,
and he just lost it in the weather, according to
a recording that was made. So I'm guessing here, I'm
really very.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Very landed in a North Charleston residential neighborhood, went to
a hospital for treatment. He's since been discharged His military
officials have not released a specific reason for his hasty exit,
just calling it a malfunction.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Right, But do they not? And if this question sounds
stupid to a military person, please forgive me. But I
think I'm speaking for a lot of people. Did he
not turn on? They don't always have the transponder on
because then the plane wouldn't be stealth anymore.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Correct, You see, the pilot was likely operating the stealth
fighter without any tracking capabilities activated, because that's what you
do with it. You don't want to tract. But if
he's ejecting, he probably should have turned it on. Wow,
it's flying on its own.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
If you feel you have to eject, I guess your
mind might get a little scrambled.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
In fact, this is what the aviation expert said. If
you turned on the onboard device, it'd be easily trackable.
But this is a stealth aircraft. If you don't turn
that particular device on, it's going to be hard to
make contact. Most likely he or she did not have
a lot of time to react and just didn't do that,
and that's why they couldn't.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And when he said he lost it in the weather,
does that mean that's kind of a strange phrase.
Speaker 8 (30:39):
It is a strange phrase. It tells me that for
some reason he thought it was too unsafe to operate.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Then he had to get out of there. But we
don't have the detail. How bad was the weather? I mean,
you think a stealth fighter could handle a thunderstorm. I
don't know. That's a weird or with some funky going
on that they don't want to explain. What I don't.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Understand is, yeah, this aviation experts says, this is unusual.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
What is the harm? The onboard device has not been
turned on, it's not being tracked, So it makes perfect
sense that they're going to ask for help from people
in the area who may have seen the jet hitting
in their direction. But my problem is it could have
killed people.
Speaker 8 (31:15):
Yes, it crashed into a wooded area sixty miles from
where he parachutes. You have crashed into a city, And
why don't you have to transponder on because I understand
it removes the stealth aspect, But who are you invading
you're in South Carolina. Well, it's to make sure it's
working and it's a good self plan. I mean, it's
(31:35):
like and maybe the auto trying to sneak up by
I wonder if they're going to tell us that the
autopilot system can detect, you know, whether or not it's
safe to land or crash, rather than just it was
on its own and it just ran out of fuel,
and just that's what I assumed happened, right, it just
ran out of fuel. But maybe it's self crashed. Maybe
(31:57):
it's that smart I found it wooded area.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
There's you know what, this is fascinating, but nobody's ever
going to explain it, right because this is probably all
top secret stuff. Yeah, were they were they testing out
some new version of the plane.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
Now, Deborah Mark, did you play somebody's imitation of the
screeching of the plane? I thought I heard you play
that earlier in the show. Or did I mishear that
for a different story?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
No, I did not play that, all right.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Local residents in the area heard an ear piercing screech
before a massive boom that shook their homes.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Can listen to another newscas.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
It's okay, I thought I heard you play something where
the guy was making a screeching noise, But maybe I
imagine that.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
No, I'm trying to remember what's You're right, there was
a story it was.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
It's a different story, but there was a guy making
a screeching noise. Because they caught my attention through my headphones.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I heard, Yeah, like a.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Plane shouldn't be making a screeching noise. Well, if it's
going back, it's going down. Yet it's probably gonna make right.
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Even though it's apparently got some tech issues, it is
still considered the top fighter jet around the world.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
That's that's our best one. Huh. That is one hundred
million dollars of rubbles smoking in the mountains? Or is
this the pilot that really messed up this more than anything? Well,
what's the discipline when you've destroyed a one hundred million
dollar fighter jet? Like well, once he gets out of
the hospital, I'm sure he has quite an explanation. This
(33:24):
is why he considered it too safe to fight truck drivers.
Right if they if they crash a truck and it's
their fault, that's it.
Speaker 8 (33:30):
You know, they're they're not asked back exactly. Yeah, both
stories I'm looking at. Questions remain why the pilot ejected
and why the jet appeared to have continued flying undetected.
Uh as I said, Apparently he did leave it an
auto pilot when he ejected from the aircraft.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
So guy's got a lot of explaining to do. So
it runs until it's out of gas.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
I'm thinking that's what happened, right. I don't know whether
it's dangerous. They could somehow control it remotely. I have
no idea, but the fact that it crashed in that
field that nobody for miles tells me that maybe there
was something they were able to do to make sure
it didn't kill people.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
I am not getting a signal here, old on, Oh no,
you've shorted out. No signal.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Well, we're going to talk about one of our favorite
topics in the last couple of years. Seventy nine year
old Rudy Giuliani is back in the news again. There
is a woman by the name of Cassidy Hutchinson you
might be you might remember her. She was a former
Trump aid, an attractive young woman who testified before the.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
January sixth committee hearings.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
She's the one that said that Trump tried to put
his hands around the throat of the driver.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Remember that. Yes, she's got a book, a memoir. She's
twenty seven. Well, oh, you know a lie. You're dealing
with Trump and Giuliani. There's probably a second volume coming.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Well, the story it's making the news isn't so much
about Trump and January sixth. But she claims that on
that day, January sixth, as they were preparing for Trump's
big speech before the marchers went to the Capitol, they
were backstage in a tent and uh, well, Rudy Giuliani
got a little frisky with her. I felt his frozen
(35:26):
fingers trail up my thigh. Oh that's a terrible sensation.
Apparently it started with Giuliani admiring the leather outfit she
was wearing. He started to fondle her clothing, and then
eventually his fingers moved up.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
He really lost his mind.
Speaker 8 (35:48):
I mean, he just put his hand under my blazer,
then my shirt, like a wolf closing in on his prey.
He fingered the fabric. That's what she claims. I'm loving this.
Let their jacket on you, she says. He said, fingering
the fabric. But then eventually his hands, she claims, went
up her thighs. He described him his frozen fingers because
(36:09):
it was a chilly day.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
But was his hair dye running down his face? Because
that's uh, he was.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
And I just loved the moment too, Like there, just
before this big event where Trump is going to speak,
speak about stop the steal. Rudy's there, check it out,
Cassidy Hutchinson, and you know, cops of Field, do.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
You know he's going bankrupt? Well on top of everything else, he's.
Speaker 8 (36:30):
Got a lot of legal bills, and I mean, and
he could be he could be going to prison over
that Georgia case.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Right, yes, yeah, he's indicted on that. And and in
the middle of all this, he's he's running his cold
dead fingers.
Speaker 8 (36:45):
Yeah, she says, uh, tilts his chin up.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
The whites of his eyes look jaundiced.
Speaker 8 (36:50):
My eyes dart to Oh yeah, my eyes dart to
Johnny Eastman, who flashes a leering grin. Johnny Smith, he
was there too, obviously. I fight again the tension of
my muscles and recoil from Rudy's grip. Filled with rage,
I stormed through the tent. Yet another quest I have
to do for Mark Meadows, who was Trump's top paid
at the time.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
God, what a dirty business. Huh.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
Somebody told her, you know, it's you can write a
book about Obviously your experience is connected to the January sixth,
But he got anything good on the side we could
throw in there to get people.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Well, yeah, this is Rudy Giuliani's story. Sure, this sells
the book. Now, this stuff even works on me because
I got a Kindle account and then they sell the
Kindle books for like nine ninety nine. Oh so I
hear one good Segment's like, yeah, okay, for nine bucks,
I'll read that. And I've got all kinds of books
piled up that I've haven't gotten to its.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
It says that Rudy Giuliana's former lawyers suit him, alleging
that he has not paid but a fraction of the
one point six million dollars in.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Legal fees that he's owed. He's been begging, I mean
hands and knees, begging Trump to bail him out. And
Trump has held a couple of fundraisers and actually gets
these these rich business goons to show up and they're
paying thousands of dollars at some galea fundraiser to bail
(38:14):
out Rudy Giuliani's legal bills. Oh yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:18):
In fact, he's got a website that's a legal defense fund.
Story also says in July he sold his Manhattan apartment
for up to for six and a half million dollars, right, so.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
And he's gonna have to turn everything over to the lawyers. Oh,
otherwise he's going to die in prison. He may die
in prison anyway and be bankrupt. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (38:36):
The story has this one of his immediate defenders saying,
this is a man who cleaned up New York City
and comforted the nation following September eleventh.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Hey took down the mafia. You know what, dare you
say this about it? I tell people all the time
that the best mayoral performance I've ever seen in my
life was Rudy Giuliani in the nineteen New York City Yeah,
still number one. Now it's embarrassing. You can't even talk
about that anymore. People look at you the same Rudy. Yeah,
because there's a whole generation that only knows this Rudy.
(39:03):
They don't know the Rudy from twenty five years ago,
who was a superhero. I don't know conways here, Hey, now, hey,
now doctor rak As Sherry's coming on with this. We'll
ask him if we should get the vax or the
boost or you know, eh, whatever it's going on. Tired boosters.
How many boosters have you had? I had them up
to the last one, but I don't want to get this.
Speaker 10 (39:23):
Yeah, I got addicted to inoculations. I had fifteen or sixteen?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Wow? Yeah, and you like it at jam What do
you like to get them? Anywhere? Anywhere? Doesn't matter me.
Speaker 10 (39:33):
Man Ornie Adams very funny comics coming on with us
at six o'clock to do news and sit in on
the program.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
All right, he's right right.
Speaker 10 (39:41):
And then we also have the Sierra Madre bear encounters. Man,
every news station stops whenever they see a bear. Everybody's
live the hell like a.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Shark in the water. So exciting, almost as good as
the car chase. But it's late.
Speaker 10 (39:56):
Yeah, it's almost become like the you know, the the
Dave for April fifteenth, you know, or the day before
Christmas with the traffic. It's so mundane where you know,
there's a bear on the loose and everybody shows.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
It like maybe I'll eat somebody. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (40:10):
But they never attack anybody, you know, they just come
in for a meal and they split it in.
Speaker 8 (40:15):
Food, right, you see the one in Alaska. It got
inside a Krispy Krean truck and boy went nuts on
the donuts.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Not right, really?
Speaker 8 (40:24):
Oh yeah, this poor thing must have ended up diabetic
boxes and boxes and Chrispy.
Speaker 10 (40:29):
You know they say, once these bears get a taste
of human food, they're not gonna eat that other crap again.
Speaker 8 (40:35):
I still remember the bear that was breaking into the
person's freezer, yeah, garage and eating the Costco meatballs.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
Remember that story. It loved the Costco meatballs meatballs? Yeah,
and also had problems afterwards. You no kidding? Everybody runs
everybody conway, all right? Thank god? With you? Doctor Ray.
He's walking back to the studio, wave in his arms.
(41:01):
He's pissed at something. If you keep listening, you might
understand why.
Speaker 10 (41:04):
Oh see there he's hot, you get he's an acquired taste.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Man, he gets hot. I like it. What can go
wrong here? I don't know? Are you ready? All right?
