Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. I want to say a
quick thank you to several of the listeners reached out
to me on social media yesterday to make sure I
was okay and wishing me well.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
So don't you love that was.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
So kind? Yeah, so thank you to those who reached out.
I am just fine. I'm here. I'm back with even
more gusto.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Fight fight, fight, fight, I love it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
You're just calling for a fight between me and debor Mark.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, I just thought that'd be cool.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Fight fight, fight, and fight so bad you almost see
you're so bad.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It would have been fun for me and the listeners
that would follow us on them. So apparently, as Gary
and Channon say off in Newsome must have been listening
to the program You and I on Monday had Ranchos
Pales Verdes mayor John Crookshank on and he was just
apoplectic at the point.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
He's just like, I don't know what else to do.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We've been telling them, we've been calling trying to get
a hold of the governor and to have him declare
a state of emergency.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now, why that's important is we know that.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, money the funds right, money that opens the door
that those words opens the door and the coffers to
all of the needs that you could have under that.
You know, it frees up money, it frees up resources,
and it actually gets things moving.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, it puts a dent and what they need.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That is for sure because Chris Adler, we just had
her report on and she was saying how the money
that now will come to RPV will help about two
hundred and forty five households there are there was one
hundred and something that we're completely cut off from power
of one hundred and forty homes on Sunday and then
another one hundred and five on Monday.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
So you've got the Portuguese Bend community with those one
hundred and forty homes. Then it went to the Seaview
community on Monday. That's those one hundred and five houses.
You were speaking of fifty three businesses there in Portuguese
Bend as well, and you know, I didn't know this
until yesterday, but Portuguese Bend they do not have access
(02:21):
to the plumbing or you know, sewer or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
They don't have that, but in seaview they do. They do.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
So it's oh, in a huge mass, it's a jigsaw. Yeah, yeah,
there exactly. And you look at those photos again that
are dramatic. You see it looks like a movie set
kind of because imagine all of the houses sitting what
appeared to be fine, but the entire cul de sac
or road is completely destroyed and sunkn.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It looks like an earthquake kit in.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, a significant earthquake, something massive took place.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And you know, John Crookshank has been the mayor out
there has been you know, calling for help. This has
been weeks, if not longer than a month. And then
finally we got the response from Governor Newsom yesterday to
officially declare state of emergency, so that will help.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Will it be enough?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And then also the inevitable, the inevitable is how do
you shore up the land?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
How do you stop this from happening?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And actually yesterday afternoon, John Colebalt had on John Crookshank
and asked that very question. And basically, there are some ways.
There are some homes that have already been redtagged. I
mean they're they're literally like broken, right. So those are done,
but a vast majority of the land there are ways
to basically stop this, and that's why he's also gone
(03:49):
to because he wasn't getting help from the government officials.
That's why he went to Tesla. That's why other private
companies have reached out to help. So there is there
is the movement down there literally figuratively the land movement,
but the movement to help shore this up because this
landslide has been active since I believe it's nineteen fifty six, since.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Nineteen fifties, for decades.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's just that all the rain that we had last winter,
it just saturated the land and made it that much
more vulnerable. And now here we are and it's just
a foot a week. The land is moving.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, so you break that out and you're looking at
an inch and a half or so on the daily.
With this comes hopefully solutions. The support of the state
could mean an additional five million dollars secured from the
county local leaders. Everybody is brainstorming how to do this because,
like you said, kind of like the jigsaw puzzle.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The reality is, I don't care if you have power
or not. Because your house is sliding.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But that is one more thing that can be done
to keep people in the homes in their homes for now.
And as they're figuring out what they're going to do,
I'm I'm pretty dire about it in one way, because
i land shifting is a big, big deal. Something been
going on for a long time. They hadn't solved it
(05:13):
in the decades. Now it's at this it's moving exponentially,
so you know it is how you're going to shore
that up when we are really putting our fingers on
problems the electricity, the gas, the water, but ultimately the
floor is moving and that's problem.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You can't help but feel for those families though, that
that is generational. I mean we heard from some last
night on Fox eleven. They had a city council meeting,
a community meeting, and a lot of these people literally
have been there for forty fifty years. You know, it's
been in their family for that long and so now
on a moment's notice. The other thing with so Cal
Addison not giving a lot of time, it's literally a
(05:55):
twenty four hour notice. Your power everything's gone in twenty
four hours, So figure it out.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Well, when you're moving in an inch and change every day.
Those things are going to change pretty rapidly. This is
not something there's I know, it's unprecedented. I'm sick of
that word since about twenty twenty so, but the reality
is there's not a playbook for this in any way,
(06:22):
shape or form. They're not going, hey, where's our town
sliding into the ocean?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Playbook?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And in this particular case, there's just so many moving
parts literally that you have to look at, and it's
beyond just electricity.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Newsom's not off the hook, though, because they're still saying, Okay, great,
thanks so much for the you know, paperwork that you
did for this that we've been asking for a long time,
but can you please come here?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Can you please see this for yourself?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So they're still asking him to make the trek down.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's not that far.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Do you think he's going? Is it? Jeans? Do I
go with dockers? Do I? You know? Maybe it's just
the out again.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They're not dockers.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
What Captain Hansome, he doesn't use your phrase, is not
wearing dockers?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, No, it's what's the expense of a quick equivalent.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Of a docker?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh, Gosh, you're gonna get me on that one, Debor
Mark Amy King.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, you knew that, you knew the the high end jeans,
but not the dockers. What do you wear to a
sinking town if you're governor and you're worried? Okay, maybe
it's the jeans and the rolled up his shirt sleeves.
We'll have to see we should we should do some better.
(07:46):
Not the long sleeve unbuttoned at the top with the
sleeves rolled up.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
That works too.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Let's put some money on the table.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Send us a message on the talk back. I like
to promote that.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, you enjoy the talk back?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, come talk back at us. Yes, very easy.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Go to the iHeartRadio app that you're probably listening to
us on right now. There's a little icon, a red
circle with a white microphone and you can press that
and it gives you thirty seconds to say whatever you
would like.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
All right, so.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
We are going to go to our very own Michael
Monks talking about the pillowcase rapist.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Hey Michael, Hey, good morning, Neil, Good morning Marla.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So you know John and Ken had I think went
out to the house in Landcaster at one point bring
us up to speed on this violent sexual predator who
will be released.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Because this is something Michael good to talk to you.
This is something that I covered up in the Bay
Area many years ago when this was talked about when
he may be released, and so here we are, all
these years.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Later, not just release, but release again. This is someone
who has been put out before, reoffended the first time,
and then violated conditions of his release the second time.
And that second time was when he was living in
that area you reference. He had a home that he
was placed in in Palmdale, And so now again residents
of the Antelope Valley are expressing concern about the so
(09:18):
called pillowcase rapist Christopher Hubbard coming back into their community.
He first committed rapes that he was convicted of back
in nineteen seventy two, and then was released after serving
eleven years, and did it again and was put back
in state custody in nineteen eighty three, and then after
serving many more years, he was placed in a state
(09:40):
hospital for a long time before being released in the
mid twenty tens and then violating conditions of his release.
A little unclear exactly what he did, but it had
to do with some of the mandatory lie detector tests
that he took about his feelings and his thoughts, and
the state decided that it was best that he'd be
placed in custody again. This is someone who has committed
at least thirty eight rapes and sexual assaults and he's
(10:03):
probably in his early seventies now, if the math is correct,
and could be back out in the public again at
a home in the Analope Balletley specifically Juniper Hills.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, and La County District Attorney's Office they put out
a statement a few minutes ago basically saying, hey, this
could be happening. They objected to this officially back in
twenty twenty three, so just last year. And then, of course,
who represents the Annealope Valley in Para Blossom area, that
is La County Supervisor Catherine Barger and Michael Catherine Barker
has been very vocal about what she wants local residents.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
To do exactly both.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
The District Attorney's office has put out a statement saying
that we oppose this. This is unjust, first of all,
and it's also unfair to the Analope Valley. They don't
deserve to have a convicted repeat sexual offender back in
their area, and Catherine Barger, the supervisor who represents that
district here in La County, has also called on the
public to participate in a comment period. So there is
(11:00):
a period of time where the DA's office is collecting
input from the public, and that can happen by emailing
SVP comments at DA dot La County dot gov. That
is the way that folks very concerned about this can
speak their mind about it. There is a community meeting,
a town council meeting in Juniper Hills today. The DA's
(11:21):
office is expected to have a representative there to collect
input in person. They'll be collecting input through September twenty fourth,
and then a hearing at the LA Superior Courthouse in
Hollywood is scheduled for next month and that is where
a final decision will be made on October first about
whether this goes through.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Michael seems so stupid. What are they gonna do with
those comments? Do they assume they're gonna get a bunch
of yeah, bring them here? I mean, what is the
problem why they're not going to get a lot of
love for this decision. They're not gonna say yes, we
want this guy in here, he's a repeat offender that
(11:58):
as you said, they're not even giving information is to
what the parole violation or whatever it might have been
on the last time. But the individuals a problem probably
shouldn't be let out at all.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But at this point, where what are they expecting.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Is this just a dog and pony show to say, hey,
leave your comments here they mean a lot to us,
or is this you know, shoring up there an argument
to say no, we can't have them in that neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
There's precedent for the public reaction to Christopherhubbert being released
as well. When he was in Palmdale, there were regular
protests outside the home in which he was placed. In fact,
his attorneys cited that as a reason for his mental decline,
that he was having difficulties adjusting because of the constant
protest outside his home. So I don't think the state
expects much in the way of support. You know, in
(12:48):
our legal system, we have laws. If you violate them,
they are corresponding penalties, and it's difficult sometimes for folks
to accept that, you know, the penalty threshold has been met.
You might in a generic case have folks on either
side saying yes, they committed the crime, they served time,
or other people saying that sentence should have been longer.
This is an extreme case where there are multiple precedents
(13:11):
that established this is someone who reoffended again in a
violent way against women. Call him the pillowcase rapists because
he often used pillowcases to muffle the screams of these
women and then violated the conditions of his release the
second time he got a chance to be somewhat free
out in the community, So don't expect a lot of
public support coming his way.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The ruling from the Santa Clara Superior Court, what was
their reasoning and deciding that this would be a good idea.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
These folks who are placed in the mental hospitals for
these long evaluations, there are metrics that might be difficult
for us to understand because we're not in that field.
But apparently those metrics have been met enough to say
that this is someone who can be released. Let's make
it clear they're not suggesting that he gets his own
apartment in a building where he has free reign. Last
time he was released, there was an ankle monitor, he
(14:00):
wasn't allowed to access adult content on the internet, and
he had to submit to regular random searches and also
these light detector tests, and it was those light detector
tests apparently that did him.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
And last time.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
You can expect that if he is released this time,
there would be similar restrictions put in place.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I would hope so. I would certainly hope so.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And I'm not saying this is just based on the
fact that he's already been released and then he violated
that and offended again. The number of at least thirty
eight women raped is pretty stunning.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
He's somebody that has continued to struggle, obviously as recently
as twenty seventeen when he was undergoing some of these
light detector tests with expressing his thoughts and whether his
mentality towards these issues had shifted at all, And apparently
they haven't.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, I know that, as you were saying, if they
have their own system of looking for red flags and
the like, don't need a machine to tell me to
get a red flag. And a guy who committed thirty
eight rapes but that's just an email.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Right, Yeah, And the light detector test doesn't even hold
up in court.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
No, but in this case, I guess you know it's
for psychological purposes, and not because it was part of
the evaluation.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Apparently he was trying to manipulate it in some way.
I don't know the science behind light detector tests, forgive me,
but what I read at the time was that he
was someone who could take long, labored breaths and that
could alter some of it when he was answering difficult questions.
And he could also put some pressure on one of
the devices around his wrist measuring his heart rate. That
could also alter some of his the determination of some
(15:44):
of his result responses.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, there was all They call it the box, but
those things have changed over the years. But there had
been all kinds of methods back in the day that
I the criminals would use. One was a thumb in
the shoe, and so it causes the body to go
into distress when you're telling the truth, and then that
(16:06):
becomes the constant or the control, and then it throws
off every other marker. There used to be all these
crazy ways that people would try and beat the box,
as they say, But that is pretty interesting, leaning on
certain parts and the like. Well, thank you, Michael, keep
us posting on how this goes, because that is a
(16:27):
very scary prospect to think that someone like this would
be in a regular neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I certainly will, thinks Neil, Thanks Marla, thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Our very own Michael Monks in regards to that sexual predator,
violent sexual predator possibly being released in the Antelope Valley,
and of course they don't want any of that, all right,
to stick around a speed limit story, This is a
bill that is interesting in a couple of ways, one
of which I thought it already existed. But imagine your
(17:00):
car telling on you, I guess is because a rat.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
You're going too fast.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
You're going to fast? Kids, slow down? What do you
think about this?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I feel like it's almost a moot point, because I
feel like most or any many, I should say, of
new vehicles already have this.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Okay, So this new bill, waiting approval from Governor Gavin Newsom,
wants to require vehicles to include a warning system to
alert drivers in time they're more than ten miles over
the speed limit, and this requirement would go into effect
twenty twenty thirty models rather all new vehicles. The exceptions
(17:41):
would be emergency vehicles, motorcycles, motorized bicycles, mopeds, and pasteer
vehicles already equipped with GPS for front facing cameras. But
you know, I was on the East Coast with my
family back in July and we rented a car and
it had this and the way it it took me
(18:03):
a minute to figure it out because it was interesting.
What it would do is it had the actual speed
limit as a sign, you know, the signs you see
on the side of the road with the speed limit.
It would have that icon yes, and then that icon
would turn red if I was above the speed limit
and that and and so when I I guess that's
(18:25):
going to be the car.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Points already there.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, So Toyota uses such a system already in the
United States. European Union already requires the tech on their
new vehicles, so the use already requiring this. Toyota uses
it in my car the same thing where it just
goes to red. If you are I actually happen, it's
a lot I do happen to have a ledshoes.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's really weird. It goes read the whole time, it
goes out of red.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Everything it goes to be read. So I think that's
the Yeah, I do. Admittedly I do drive too fast
and one of those.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So to require this now the pushback by the way
from Republican lawmakers because it got zero support by the way,
when the legislation recently passes the state Senate at twenty
six to nine in the Assembly forty seven to seventeen
without support from Republican lawmakers. Their concerns are that the
(19:23):
technology could distract drivers and create more problems.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It didn't distract.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It doesn't distract me either, know.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think you know it's not going to physically limit
the car.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
The cell phone is the biggest distraction.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yeah, I mean you mentioned your speed speedometer you've got
on there, You're already there's a lot of different things
that you already see. You know, if you need oil,
it's going to pop on too. You know, people ignore
the engine light when it comes on, so they all
ignore this too. I don't think it's distracting. I think
that's kind of a lame response to it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
You have to be aware, yes, but you have to care.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Second, you have to give rodents behind about speeding in
the first place.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I don't think you're a jerk. I don't think you're going, Hey,
let's see how fast I can get this thing going.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
No, no, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I hope I'm not driving one hundred miles per hour.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
But no, I do the same thing.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
You lean on it at times in a long stretch
or something like that, and you go, whoah, I didn't
know I was going that fast.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
That's easy to do.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That would help me. And it did remind me of
speed at this speed. But I also have to care
on top of that and go, oh, I should slow
down instead of well, I wonder if I can get
this thing up a little faster.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Absolutely. Now this was written by.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
State Senator Scott Wiener out of San Francisco. He wrote
the bill, and this is all because of what they
call a traffic safety crisis. More than four thousand Californians
die every year and traffic collisions on our roadways. They
say this is a dramatic increase from pre pandemic levels
and speeding is a major factor and one third of
(20:59):
these fatalities.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You know what freaks me out more than that, and
that is a concern is hit and run seemed after
the pandemic or during.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
The talk about not caring.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, that's the thing to me that I'm more concerned about.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
If you don't have a conscience. You just you hit
and run. I don't know how that's actually possible.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, it's that to me was more freakish. Yes, speed,
we need to slow down all and we all do it.
We all get in those you know, you say that
that you do that, But the reality is most people do.
Most people don't aren't aware of their speed. They kind
of go with the quote unquote speed of the traffic.
Unless they've got somewhere to be, then they go however
(21:38):
fast they need to code to get.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Home, although around here you can't even go the speed
limit because there's so much traffic.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No, but that, you've ever been driving out of Los
Angeles into Orange County and you get near the House
of the Mouse where the money is, and it goes
from like four lanes to fourteen lanes and the blink
of an eye and everybody's everybody just kind of spreads
out like like.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Bugs into their own lane and start.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Hauling, you know, second gear to third to fourth really quickly.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
By the way, Oh, my wife has famously said many
many times that if it's not a manual, it's not
a real car.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Oh gosh, I love driving stick.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yes, it's been a long time in La You can
I mean to drive stick in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That makes you a hero?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Oh absolutely, I mean learning how to you want to
learn how.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
To drive stick?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You you go up and down Patrero Hill, you go
up and down.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Yeah, I have sick in San Francisco. And I have
also gone through many pairs of underwear driving in San
Francisco because I.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Need a new clutch and a clean pair of short exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That'd be a great T shirt.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
They'll say, visit San Francisco and they have a manual.
But there there is there is something about you know,
it's driving can be fun and if you're on an
open road, you're going to Vegas or something, and you
do get that kind of Well, let's see what this
could go. This again doesn't slow you down, It doesn't.
(23:15):
It doesn't send a report to the police, which is
actually when I started hearing about this, I thought, is
this like a black box that goes and sends information out?
Does it send information out about other cars that are speeding?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Is it? You know? Because we're not far.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
From the other thing though, is the blind spot? There
are vehicles that also alert you when you're going to
ship plans. So what's the difference there. I mean, that's
not distracting. That's a lifesaver there, or it can be
a car saver. So is something Member James Gallagher, Republican
out of Yuba City, he said that this is just
another step toward making California and nanny states. I think
(23:53):
a lot of people would agree with him. The bill
is about control, it's not about safety.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Okay, So what if it is about control but it
ends up being safer?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Some people would.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Argue safety first, right, And I don't see much of
a difference between the blind spot, which I think people appreciate.
If your car is beeping when you can't see a vehicle,
you're not going to merge over.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So that could save you. This could save you.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What is this saying those that choose security over liberty
deserve neither?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Who was that? Now?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
One of the stories that we're following is out of
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Corbyn Carson is on this one Huntington Beach.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Now the city council now stepping into this controversy surrounding
Orange County Supervisor Andrew Doe and an investigation against him
and his daughter Corbyn catches up to speed.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
They're calling for him to resign.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
Yes they are.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
And just a quick background on what Supervisor Doe is
going through. He was he voted or directed millions of
COVID relief dollars to this nonprofit. He didn't disclose that
his daughter ran worked there, though that's not illegal. Orange
County sued the nonprofit and its present president.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
They said things like.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Rihannan do brazenly plundered the funding, including an allegation that
she used the money to buy a house. The FBI
raided their properties, including the home of Andrew Doe and
his wife, who is the OC Assistant Presiding Judge, Cherry
fam So this family has deep roots in Orange County
and so since.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Then, several of the supervisors have called for Doe to resign.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Those are the Democrat supervisors and that's why this is
important for today because Huntington Beach is the largest city
in Supervisor Doe's district and it is a heavily Republican
They have the council has a Republican majority, and this
is very politically divided on this board. They have been
vickering back and forth over years and this item to
(25:49):
ask for Supervisor Doe to resign was proposed by Democrats,
the three Democrats on that board, and so it's interesting
that they did get a six to one vote asking
for him to resign. And here let's start with the
first person to hear from is counselman Pat Burns. He's
the one no vote, and he raises a very interesting point.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
Out of respe hang him high.
Speaker 11 (26:16):
I say, hang him high if he's found guilty, but
I was very.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
Sensitive as a policeman. I'd rather let a.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Hundred guilty people go than put one innocent person in jail.
It's worth the caution and slow moving of a proper investigation.
If he was guilty, and if there was the proper
evidence against him, right now you'd be arrested, and they
have not made an arrest. And even then, out of
respect for our constitution, you are innocent before proven guilty.
(26:47):
We are nothing but acting as a mob trying to
hang somebody high and tight before the evidence is even presented.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
And that is accurate because at this point, Supervisor Andrew
Doe has not been named as a defendant in any
of the lawsuits or the cases, and other than the
FBI raiding the house, there is no direct allegations that
Andrewdeau is connected to what happened, other than voting to
send that money to his daughter's nonprofit. Now that being said,
(27:15):
the mayor of Huntington Beach chimed in on that same thing.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
She's also a Republican.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I too believe you're innocent, interproven guilty. I also believe, though,
that the residents in this districts should have representation. I
do believe that this has affected his ability to do
his job significantly.
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Is not a little issue.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
So I do believe that at this point he should
probably focus more on this and we'll find someone that
can get the job done. I'm not saying he's guilty,
we don't know that, but I do think his residents
do deserve representation.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
So again, now we're growing calls some Republicans now calling
on Supervisor Andrewdeau to resign.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It was Katrina Foley at last week or the week
before who said that same sentiment where she said, look,
the investigation is ongoing in a cent until proven guilty,
but still, sir, mister Doe, you should resign.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Because it's a distraction.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
That is the argument. It's that that it is a distraction.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
The Republican chair Don Wagner has repeated the same things
that Councilman Burns was saying about there is no evidence,
et cetera. But as the chair, he is calling for
a vote on this upcoming board member board meeting this
next Tuesday to call for him to be removed from
committee assignments. There also could be a vote to censure him,
(28:37):
and then a lot of it is again about the distraction.
Here is a counselman, Dan Cowman. He's a Democrat on
the Huntington Beach City Council. But he explains that exact argument,
is it a distraction or is it about crime?
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Well, I think there's two servarate issues.
Speaker 12 (28:51):
So there's crimes and then there's representation and the appearance
of impropriety.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
And you brought up Ohms County Power Authority.
Speaker 12 (28:56):
I called for the resignation of Brian Probolski because of
we didn't have evidence of crimes, but the public had
lost confidence in his ability to perform, and so if
it was true or not, we could have been performing
great poorly, didn't matter. The public perception within the organization
was that it was unsalvageable with him as the lead,
and so I call for his resignation. At this point
we are saying that we are without representation at the
(29:19):
county board if they oversee nine billion dollars, who we call,
like if we need that flood control district handled, Like,
do we call Supervisor Doe and ask him at the
next meeting to douce to for introducing item.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
If he's not there, that's why we're calling on him
to resign.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And so there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
There's the other layer to this Corbyn that I believe
he's termed out at the end of this year anyway.
So there's this idea that this would cost a lot
of money to be able to figure out who would
step in his place if in fact he were to resign.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Correct, he is out in November and then somebody that
and actually there wouldn't be someone officially taking the office
until January, So you do have those extra months, and
you can make an argument on both sides of that.
One is it necessary for him to resign with so
little time left? On the other hand, what do we
do until January? What do we being his constituents, what
do we do till January? As far as you know,
(30:12):
flood control as con MC mentioned, or any other kind
of issues that go on in his district, So it
is a very interesting position for Supervisor Doe to be in.
He has not responded to any comments. He's declined to
comment on both from his lawyers on and I have
not received a response back from his office as of yet.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
But come this.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Tuesday there will be another meeting for the supervisors.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Will he be in attendance.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
Will he at that point make a comment about whether
or not he intends to resign. That remains to be saying.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And is Rihanna Doe? Was she formally arrested.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
She has not been arrested either.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
The FBIS have served warrants at her house, as I
mentioned earlier, and the investigation and all investigators are being
very tight lipped.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
They're not talking about this.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Really.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
The only reason we know all.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
This is because Orange County filed a lawsuit and made
a ton of this information public.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Because if that hadn't happened, there's a good chance we.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Wouldn't we being the media then being able to tell
the public, we wouldn't know any.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Of this stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
All right, our own Corbyn Carson, thanks so much out
there talking about Huntington Beach, calling on OC Supervisor Andrew
Doe's resignation. We will see how that plays out. Thanks
so much for the time, my friend.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Thanks Corman, appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
I thought you guys were going to ask me about
these cars you were just talking about, because we just
got a new car and I don't know this thing
yells at me about everything.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Fo I think I'm the worst driver?
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Yeah? Bad?
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Do you need some coffee?
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I'm fine, Thanks.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Guys, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Great Thanks Buddy, I'll talk to you soon. Is our
very own corborn person out there in the Orange County.
In Orange County rather you've been listening to the Gary
and Shannon Show, you can always hear us live on
KFI AM six forty nine am to one pm every
Monday through Friday, and any time time on demand on
the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. I want to say a
quick thank you to several of the listeners reached out
to me on social media yesterday to make sure I
was okay and wishing me well.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
So don't you love that was.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
So kind? Yeah, so thank you to those who reached out.
I am just fine. I'm here. I'm back with even
more gusto.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Fight fight, fight, fight, I love it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
You're just calling for a fight between me and debor Mark.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, I just thought that'd be cool.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Fight fight, fight, and fight so bad you almost see
you're so bad.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It would have been fun for me and the listeners
that would follow us on them. So apparently, as Gary
and Channon say off in Newsome must have been listening
to the program You and I on Monday had Ranchos
Pales Verdes mayor John Crookshank on and he was just
apoplectic at the point.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
He's just like, I don't know what else to do.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
We've been telling them, we've been calling trying to get
a hold of the governor and to have him declare
a state of emergency.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now, why that's important is we know that.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, money the funds right, money that opens the door
that those words opens the door and the coffers to
all of the needs that you could have under that.
You know, it frees up money, it frees up resources,
and it actually gets things moving.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, it puts a dent and what they need.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That is for sure because Chris Adler, we just had
her report on and she was saying how the money
that now will come to RPV will help about two
hundred and forty five households there are there was one
hundred and something that we're completely cut off from power
of one hundred and forty homes on Sunday and then
another one hundred and five on Monday.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
So you've got the Portuguese Bend community with those one
hundred and forty homes. Then it went to the Seaview
community on Monday. That's those one hundred and five houses.
You were speaking of fifty three businesses there in Portuguese
Bend as well, and you know, I didn't know this
until yesterday, but Portuguese Bend they do not have access
(02:21):
to the plumbing or you know, sewer or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
They don't have that, but in seaview they do. They do.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
So it's oh, in a huge mass, it's a jigsaw. Yeah, yeah,
there exactly. And you look at those photos again that
are dramatic. You see it looks like a movie set
kind of because imagine all of the houses sitting what
appeared to be fine, but the entire cul de sac
or road is completely destroyed and sunkn.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It looks like an earthquake kit in.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, a significant earthquake, something massive took place.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
And you know, John Crookshank has been the mayor out
there has been you know, calling for help. This has
been weeks, if not longer than a month. And then
finally we got the response from Governor Newsom yesterday to
officially declare state of emergency, so that will help.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Will it be enough?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And then also the inevitable, the inevitable is how do
you shore up the land?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
How do you stop this from happening?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And actually yesterday afternoon, John Colebalt had on John Crookshank
and asked that very question. And basically, there are some ways.
There are some homes that have already been redtagged. I
mean they're they're literally like broken, right. So those are done,
but a vast majority of the land there are ways
to basically stop this, and that's why he's also gone
(03:49):
to because he wasn't getting help from the government officials.
That's why he went to Tesla. That's why other private
companies have reached out to help. So there is there
is the movement down there literally figuratively the land movement,
but the movement to help shore this up because this
landslide has been active since I believe it's nineteen fifty six, since.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Nineteen fifties, for decades.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's just that all the rain that we had last winter,
it just saturated the land and made it that much
more vulnerable. And now here we are and it's just
a foot a week. The land is moving.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, so you break that out and you're looking at
an inch and a half or so on the daily.
With this comes hopefully solutions. The support of the state
could mean an additional five million dollars secured from the
county local leaders. Everybody is brainstorming how to do this because,
like you said, kind of like the jigsaw puzzle.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The reality is, I don't care if you have power
or not. Because your house is sliding.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But that is one more thing that can be done
to keep people in the homes in their homes for now.
And as they're figuring out what they're going to do,
I'm I'm pretty dire about it in one way, because
i land shifting is a big, big deal. Something been
going on for a long time. They hadn't solved it
(05:13):
in the decades. Now it's at this it's moving exponentially,
so you know it is how you're going to shore
that up when we are really putting our fingers on
problems the electricity, the gas, the water, but ultimately the
floor is moving and that's problem.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You can't help but feel for those families though, that
that is generational. I mean we heard from some last
night on Fox eleven. They had a city council meeting,
a community meeting, and a lot of these people literally
have been there for forty fifty years. You know, it's
been in their family for that long and so now
on a moment's notice. The other thing with so Cal
Addison not giving a lot of time, it's literally a
(05:55):
twenty four hour notice. Your power everything's gone in twenty
four hours, So figure it out.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Well, when you're moving in an inch and change every day.
Those things are going to change pretty rapidly. This is
not something there's I know, it's unprecedented. I'm sick of
that word since about twenty twenty so, but the reality
is there's not a playbook for this in any way,
(06:22):
shape or form. They're not going, hey, where's our town
sliding into the ocean?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Playbook?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
And in this particular case, there's just so many moving
parts literally that you have to look at, and it's
beyond just electricity.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Newsom's not off the hook, though, because they're still saying, Okay, great,
thanks so much for the you know, paperwork that you
did for this that we've been asking for a long time,
but can you please come here?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Can you please see this for yourself?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So they're still asking him to make the trek down.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's not that far.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Do you think he's going? Is it? Jeans? Do I
go with dockers? Do I? You know? Maybe it's just
the out again.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They're not dockers.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
What Captain Hansome, he doesn't use your phrase, is not
wearing dockers?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, No, it's what's the expense of a quick equivalent.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Of a docker?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh, Gosh, you're gonna get me on that one, Debor
Mark Amy King.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, you knew that, you knew the the high end jeans,
but not the dockers. What do you wear to a
sinking town if you're governor and you're worried? Okay, maybe
it's the jeans and the rolled up his shirt sleeves.
We'll have to see we should we should do some better.
(07:46):
Not the long sleeve unbuttoned at the top with the
sleeves rolled up.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
That works too.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Let's put some money on the table.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Send us a message on the talk back. I like
to promote that.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, you enjoy the talk back?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, come talk back at us. Yes, very easy.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Go to the iHeartRadio app that you're probably listening to
us on right now. There's a little icon, a red
circle with a white microphone and you can press that
and it gives you thirty seconds to say whatever you
would like.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
All right, so.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
We are going to go to our very own Michael
Monks talking about the pillowcase rapist.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Hey Michael, Hey, good morning, Neil, Good morning Marla.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
So you know John and Ken had I think went
out to the house in Landcaster at one point bring
us up to speed on this violent sexual predator who
will be released.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Because this is something Michael good to talk to you.
This is something that I covered up in the Bay
Area many years ago when this was talked about when
he may be released, and so here we are, all
these years.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Later, not just release, but release again. This is someone
who has been put out before, reoffended the first time,
and then violated conditions of his release the second time.
And that second time was when he was living in
that area you reference. He had a home that he
was placed in in Palmdale, And so now again residents
of the Antelope Valley are expressing concern about the so
(09:18):
called pillowcase rapist Christopher Hubbard coming back into their community.
He first committed rapes that he was convicted of back
in nineteen seventy two, and then was released after serving
eleven years, and did it again and was put back
in state custody in nineteen eighty three, and then after
serving many more years, he was placed in a state
(09:40):
hospital for a long time before being released in the
mid twenty tens and then violating conditions of his release.
A little unclear exactly what he did, but it had
to do with some of the mandatory lie detector tests
that he took about his feelings and his thoughts, and
the state decided that it was best that he'd be
placed in custody again. This is someone who has committed
at least thirty eight rapes and sexual assaults and he's
(10:03):
probably in his early seventies now, if the math is correct,
and could be back out in the public again at
a home in the Analope Balletley specifically Juniper Hills.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, and La County District Attorney's Office they put out
a statement a few minutes ago basically saying, hey, this
could be happening. They objected to this officially back in
twenty twenty three, so just last year. And then, of course,
who represents the Annealope Valley in Para Blossom area, that
is La County Supervisor Catherine Barger and Michael Catherine Barker
has been very vocal about what she wants local residents.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
To do exactly both.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
The District Attorney's office has put out a statement saying
that we oppose this. This is unjust, first of all,
and it's also unfair to the Analope Valley. They don't
deserve to have a convicted repeat sexual offender back in
their area, and Catherine Barger, the supervisor who represents that
district here in La County, has also called on the
public to participate in a comment period. So there is
(11:00):
a period of time where the DA's office is collecting
input from the public, and that can happen by emailing
SVP comments at DA dot La County dot gov. That
is the way that folks very concerned about this can
speak their mind about it. There is a community meeting,
a town council meeting in Juniper Hills today. The DA's
(11:21):
office is expected to have a representative there to collect
input in person. They'll be collecting input through September twenty fourth,
and then a hearing at the LA Superior Courthouse in
Hollywood is scheduled for next month and that is where
a final decision will be made on October first about
whether this goes through.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Michael seems so stupid. What are they gonna do with
those comments? Do they assume they're gonna get a bunch
of yeah, bring them here? I mean, what is the
problem why they're not going to get a lot of
love for this decision. They're not gonna say yes, we
want this guy in here, he's a repeat offender that
(11:58):
as you said, they're not even giving information is to
what the parole violation or whatever it might have been
on the last time. But the individuals a problem probably
shouldn't be let out at all.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But at this point, where what are they expecting.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Is this just a dog and pony show to say, hey,
leave your comments here they mean a lot to us,
or is this you know, shoring up there an argument
to say no, we can't have them in that neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (12:27):
There's precedent for the public reaction to Christopherhubbert being released
as well. When he was in Palmdale, there were regular
protests outside the home in which he was placed. In fact,
his attorneys cited that as a reason for his mental decline,
that he was having difficulties adjusting because of the constant
protest outside his home. So I don't think the state
expects much in the way of support. You know, in
(12:48):
our legal system, we have laws. If you violate them,
they are corresponding penalties, and it's difficult sometimes for folks
to accept that, you know, the penalty threshold has been met.
You might in a generic case have folks on either
side saying yes, they committed the crime, they served time,
or other people saying that sentence should have been longer.
This is an extreme case where there are multiple precedents
(13:11):
that established this is someone who reoffended again in a
violent way against women. Call him the pillowcase rapists because
he often used pillowcases to muffle the screams of these
women and then violated the conditions of his release the
second time he got a chance to be somewhat free
out in the community, So don't expect a lot of
public support coming his way.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
The ruling from the Santa Clara Superior Court, what was
their reasoning and deciding that this would be a good idea.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
These folks who are placed in the mental hospitals for
these long evaluations, there are metrics that might be difficult
for us to understand because we're not in that field.
But apparently those metrics have been met enough to say
that this is someone who can be released. Let's make
it clear they're not suggesting that he gets his own
apartment in a building where he has free reign. Last
time he was released, there was an ankle monitor, he
(14:00):
wasn't allowed to access adult content on the internet, and
he had to submit to regular random searches and also
these light detector tests, and it was those light detector
tests apparently that did him.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
And last time.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
You can expect that if he is released this time,
there would be similar restrictions put in place.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I would hope so. I would certainly hope so.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
And I'm not saying this is just based on the
fact that he's already been released and then he violated
that and offended again. The number of at least thirty
eight women raped is pretty stunning.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
He's somebody that has continued to struggle, obviously as recently
as twenty seventeen when he was undergoing some of these
light detector tests with expressing his thoughts and whether his
mentality towards these issues had shifted at all, And apparently
they haven't.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, I know that, as you were saying, if they
have their own system of looking for red flags and
the like, don't need a machine to tell me to
get a red flag. And a guy who committed thirty
eight rapes but that's just an email.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Right, Yeah, And the light detector test doesn't even hold
up in court.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
No, but in this case, I guess you know it's
for psychological purposes, and not because it was part of
the evaluation.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Apparently he was trying to manipulate it in some way.
I don't know the science behind light detector tests, forgive me,
but what I read at the time was that he
was someone who could take long, labored breaths and that
could alter some of it when he was answering difficult questions.
And he could also put some pressure on one of
the devices around his wrist measuring his heart rate. That
could also alter some of his the determination of some
(15:44):
of his result responses.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, there was all They call it the box, but
those things have changed over the years. But there had
been all kinds of methods back in the day that
I the criminals would use. One was a thumb in
the shoe, and so it causes the body to go
into distress when you're telling the truth, and then that
(16:06):
becomes the constant or the control, and then it throws
off every other marker. There used to be all these
crazy ways that people would try and beat the box,
as they say, But that is pretty interesting, leaning on
certain parts and the like. Well, thank you, Michael, keep
us posting on how this goes, because that is a
(16:27):
very scary prospect to think that someone like this would
be in a regular neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
I certainly will, thinks Neil, Thanks Marla, thank you.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Our very own Michael Monks in regards to that sexual predator,
violent sexual predator possibly being released in the Antelope Valley,
and of course they don't want any of that, all right,
to stick around a speed limit story, This is a
bill that is interesting in a couple of ways, one
of which I thought it already existed. But imagine your
(17:00):
car telling on you, I guess is because a rat.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
You're going too fast.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
You're going to fast? Kids, slow down? What do you
think about this?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I feel like it's almost a moot point, because I
feel like most or any many, I should say, of
new vehicles already have this.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Okay, So this new bill, waiting approval from Governor Gavin Newsom,
wants to require vehicles to include a warning system to
alert drivers in time they're more than ten miles over
the speed limit, and this requirement would go into effect
twenty twenty thirty models rather all new vehicles. The exceptions
(17:41):
would be emergency vehicles, motorcycles, motorized bicycles, mopeds, and pasteer
vehicles already equipped with GPS for front facing cameras. But
you know, I was on the East Coast with my
family back in July and we rented a car and
it had this and the way it it took me
(18:03):
a minute to figure it out because it was interesting.
What it would do is it had the actual speed
limit as a sign, you know, the signs you see
on the side of the road with the speed limit.
It would have that icon yes, and then that icon
would turn red if I was above the speed limit
and that and and so when I I guess that's
(18:25):
going to be the car.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Points already there.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, So Toyota uses such a system already in the
United States. European Union already requires the tech on their
new vehicles, so the use already requiring this. Toyota uses
it in my car the same thing where it just
goes to red. If you are I actually happen, it's
a lot I do happen to have a ledshoes.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's really weird. It goes read the whole time, it
goes out of red.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Everything it goes to be read. So I think that's
the Yeah, I do. Admittedly I do drive too fast
and one of those.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So to require this now the pushback by the way
from Republican lawmakers because it got zero support by the way,
when the legislation recently passes the state Senate at twenty
six to nine in the Assembly forty seven to seventeen
without support from Republican lawmakers. Their concerns are that the
(19:23):
technology could distract drivers and create more problems.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It didn't distract.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
It doesn't distract me either, know.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think you know it's not going to physically limit
the car.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
The cell phone is the biggest distraction.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yeah, I mean you mentioned your speed speedometer you've got
on there, You're already there's a lot of different things
that you already see. You know, if you need oil,
it's going to pop on too. You know, people ignore
the engine light when it comes on, so they all
ignore this too. I don't think it's distracting. I think
that's kind of a lame response to it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
You have to be aware, yes, but you have to care.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Second, you have to give rodents behind about speeding in
the first place.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
I don't think you're a jerk. I don't think you're going, Hey,
let's see how fast I can get this thing going.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
No, no, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I hope I'm not driving one hundred miles per hour.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
But no, I do the same thing.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
You lean on it at times in a long stretch
or something like that, and you go, whoah, I didn't
know I was going that fast.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
That's easy to do.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
That would help me. And it did remind me of
speed at this speed. But I also have to care
on top of that and go, oh, I should slow
down instead of well, I wonder if I can get
this thing up a little faster.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Absolutely. Now this was written by.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
State Senator Scott Wiener out of San Francisco. He wrote
the bill, and this is all because of what they
call a traffic safety crisis. More than four thousand Californians
die every year and traffic collisions on our roadways. They
say this is a dramatic increase from pre pandemic levels
and speeding is a major factor and one third of
(20:59):
these fatalities.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
You know what freaks me out more than that, and
that is a concern is hit and run seemed after
the pandemic or during.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
The talk about not caring.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, that's the thing to me that I'm more concerned about.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
If you don't have a conscience. You just you hit
and run. I don't know how that's actually possible.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeah, it's that to me was more freakish. Yes, speed,
we need to slow down all and we all do it.
We all get in those you know, you say that
that you do that, But the reality is most people do.
Most people don't aren't aware of their speed. They kind
of go with the quote unquote speed of the traffic.
Unless they've got somewhere to be, then they go however
(21:38):
fast they need to code to get.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Home, although around here you can't even go the speed
limit because there's so much traffic.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No, but that, you've ever been driving out of Los
Angeles into Orange County and you get near the House
of the Mouse where the money is, and it goes
from like four lanes to fourteen lanes and the blink
of an eye and everybody's everybody just kind of spreads
out like like.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Bugs into their own lane and start.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Hauling, you know, second gear to third to fourth really quickly.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
By the way, Oh, my wife has famously said many
many times that if it's not a manual, it's not
a real car.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Oh gosh, I love driving stick.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yes, it's been a long time in La You can
I mean to drive stick in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
That makes you a hero?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Oh absolutely, I mean learning how to you want to
learn how.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
To drive stick?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You you go up and down Patrero Hill, you go
up and down.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Yeah, I have sick in San Francisco. And I have
also gone through many pairs of underwear driving in San
Francisco because I.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Need a new clutch and a clean pair of short exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
That'd be a great T shirt.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
They'll say, visit San Francisco and they have a manual.
But there there is there is something about you know,
it's driving can be fun and if you're on an
open road, you're going to Vegas or something, and you
do get that kind of Well, let's see what this
could go. This again doesn't slow you down, It doesn't.
(23:15):
It doesn't send a report to the police, which is
actually when I started hearing about this, I thought, is
this like a black box that goes and sends information out?
Does it send information out about other cars that are speeding?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Is it? You know? Because we're not far.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
From the other thing though, is the blind spot? There
are vehicles that also alert you when you're going to
ship plans. So what's the difference there. I mean, that's
not distracting. That's a lifesaver there, or it can be
a car saver. So is something Member James Gallagher, Republican
out of Yuba City, he said that this is just
another step toward making California and nanny states. I think
(23:53):
a lot of people would agree with him. The bill
is about control, it's not about safety.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Okay, So what if it is about control but it
ends up being safer?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Some people would.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Argue safety first, right, And I don't see much of
a difference between the blind spot, which I think people appreciate.
If your car is beeping when you can't see a vehicle,
you're not going to merge over.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So that could save you. This could save you.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What is this saying those that choose security over liberty
deserve neither?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Who was that? Now?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
One of the stories that we're following is out of
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Corbyn Carson is on this one Huntington Beach.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Now the city council now stepping into this controversy surrounding
Orange County Supervisor Andrew Doe and an investigation against him
and his daughter Corbyn catches up to speed.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
They're calling for him to resign.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
Yes they are.
Speaker 9 (24:49):
And just a quick background on what Supervisor Doe is
going through. He was he voted or directed millions of
COVID relief dollars to this nonprofit. He didn't disclose that
his daughter ran worked there, though that's not illegal. Orange
County sued the nonprofit and its present president.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
They said things like.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Rihannan do brazenly plundered the funding, including an allegation that
she used the money to buy a house. The FBI
raided their properties, including the home of Andrew Doe and
his wife, who is the OC Assistant Presiding Judge, Cherry
fam So this family has deep roots in Orange County
and so since.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Then, several of the supervisors have called for Doe to resign.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
Those are the Democrat supervisors and that's why this is
important for today because Huntington Beach is the largest city
in Supervisor Doe's district and it is a heavily Republican
They have the council has a Republican majority, and this
is very politically divided on this board. They have been
vickering back and forth over years and this item to
(25:49):
ask for Supervisor Doe to resign was proposed by Democrats,
the three Democrats on that board, and so it's interesting
that they did get a six to one vote asking
for him to resign. And here let's start with the
first person to hear from is counselman Pat Burns. He's
the one no vote, and he raises a very interesting point.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
Out of respe hang him high.
Speaker 11 (26:16):
I say, hang him high if he's found guilty, but
I was very.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
Sensitive as a policeman. I'd rather let a.
Speaker 11 (26:23):
Hundred guilty people go than put one innocent person in jail.
It's worth the caution and slow moving of a proper investigation.
If he was guilty, and if there was the proper
evidence against him, right now you'd be arrested, and they
have not made an arrest. And even then, out of
respect for our constitution, you are innocent before proven guilty.
(26:47):
We are nothing but acting as a mob trying to
hang somebody high and tight before the evidence is even presented.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
And that is accurate because at this point, Supervisor Andrew
Doe has not been named as a defendant in any
of the lawsuits or the cases, and other than the
FBI raiding the house, there is no direct allegations that
Andrewdeau is connected to what happened, other than voting to
send that money to his daughter's nonprofit. Now that being said,
(27:15):
the mayor of Huntington Beach chimed in on that same thing.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
She's also a Republican.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I too believe you're innocent, interproven guilty. I also believe, though,
that the residents in this districts should have representation. I
do believe that this has affected his ability to do
his job significantly.
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Is not a little issue.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
So I do believe that at this point he should
probably focus more on this and we'll find someone that
can get the job done. I'm not saying he's guilty,
we don't know that, but I do think his residents
do deserve representation.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
So again, now we're growing calls some Republicans now calling
on Supervisor Andrewdeau to resign.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It was Katrina Foley at last week or the week
before who said that same sentiment where she said, look,
the investigation is ongoing in a cent until proven guilty,
but still, sir, mister Doe, you should resign.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Because it's a distraction.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
That is the argument. It's that that it is a distraction.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
The Republican chair Don Wagner has repeated the same things
that Councilman Burns was saying about there is no evidence,
et cetera. But as the chair, he is calling for
a vote on this upcoming board member board meeting this
next Tuesday to call for him to be removed from
committee assignments. There also could be a vote to censure him,
(28:37):
and then a lot of it is again about the distraction.
Here is a counselman, Dan Cowman. He's a Democrat on
the Huntington Beach City Council. But he explains that exact argument,
is it a distraction or is it about crime?
Speaker 10 (28:49):
Well, I think there's two servarate issues.
Speaker 12 (28:51):
So there's crimes and then there's representation and the appearance
of impropriety.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
And you brought up Ohms County Power Authority.
Speaker 12 (28:56):
I called for the resignation of Brian Probolski because of
we didn't have evidence of crimes, but the public had
lost confidence in his ability to perform, and so if
it was true or not, we could have been performing
great poorly, didn't matter. The public perception within the organization
was that it was unsalvageable with him as the lead,
and so I call for his resignation. At this point
we are saying that we are without representation at the
(29:19):
county board if they oversee nine billion dollars, who we call,
like if we need that flood control district handled, Like,
do we call Supervisor Doe and ask him at the
next meeting to douce to for introducing item.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
If he's not there, that's why we're calling on him
to resign.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
And so there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
There's the other layer to this Corbyn that I believe
he's termed out at the end of this year anyway.
So there's this idea that this would cost a lot
of money to be able to figure out who would
step in his place if in fact he were to resign.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Correct, he is out in November and then somebody that
and actually there wouldn't be someone officially taking the office
until January, So you do have those extra months, and
you can make an argument on both sides of that.
One is it necessary for him to resign with so
little time left? On the other hand, what do we
do until January? What do we being his constituents, what
do we do till January? As far as you know,
(30:12):
flood control as con MC mentioned, or any other kind
of issues that go on in his district, So it
is a very interesting position for Supervisor Doe to be in.
He has not responded to any comments. He's declined to
comment on both from his lawyers on and I have
not received a response back from his office as of yet.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
But come this.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Tuesday there will be another meeting for the supervisors.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Will he be in attendance.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
Will he at that point make a comment about whether
or not he intends to resign. That remains to be saying.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And is Rihanna Doe? Was she formally arrested.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
She has not been arrested either.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
The FBIS have served warrants at her house, as I
mentioned earlier, and the investigation and all investigators are being
very tight lipped.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
They're not talking about this.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Really.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
The only reason we know all.
Speaker 9 (31:00):
This is because Orange County filed a lawsuit and made
a ton of this information public.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Because if that hadn't happened, there's a good chance we.
Speaker 9 (31:08):
Wouldn't we being the media then being able to tell
the public, we wouldn't know any.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Of this stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
All right, our own Corbyn Carson, thanks so much out
there talking about Huntington Beach, calling on OC Supervisor Andrew
Doe's resignation. We will see how that plays out. Thanks
so much for the time, my friend.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
Thanks Corman, appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
I thought you guys were going to ask me about
these cars you were just talking about, because we just
got a new car and I don't know this thing
yells at me about everything.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Fo I think I'm the worst driver?
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Yeah? Bad?
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Do you need some coffee?
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I'm fine, Thanks.
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Guys, Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
