Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. What a weekend
we had here in Los Angeles. Everybody around the world
is talking about Los Angeles again in a very negative light.
I don't know how much more we can afford of this.
(00:21):
We have the fires that burn the Palisades, Malibu, Altadena area,
and we had the protests at UCLA at usc with
Gaza and Israel went through went through that, and then
and now we have the protests and the unrest in
downtown Los Angeles. Cars on fire, graffiti, cops getting crap
(00:45):
thrown at him, and people are going to stop coming
to LA. People already stopped coming to LA because of
the fires. They thought the entire city burned down. And
then when we have whenever we have an earthquake, you know,
you always get a call from your aunt or your uncle.
Were you close to it? It was a three point two,
you know, and you know, Susie, we're fine. But these
(01:11):
pictures go all around the world, they're all on social media,
they're all on TV, they're all in the news, and
you're going to get another couple hundred thousand people who
are not going to come to LA because they think
the entire city is on fire. I got a call
from a relative and said hey, last night. He goes, hey,
are you okay? I said, hey, yeah, I'm watching the
(01:31):
Tonys if that's what you mean. Not really, You're right.
I probably shouldn't be this into the Tonies, but I am.
He said, no, No, where's that riot? Is that near you?
And I said, well, it's downtown LA. He says, how
far is that from you? I said, well, as the
crow Fly is probably about eight nine miles maybe driving
(01:53):
maybe ten or twelve miles. He goes, that's close. I said,
not in LA. That's a world away in Los Angeles right.
A friend of mine is uh was on the LA
Sheriff's Department was on the bomb squad there. I want
to talking about mutual aid and how the logistics of uh,
you know, control in this city. John Hansen is with it?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
John?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
How you Bob?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Good buddy? How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh man? You watched this last night? I bet with
a different eye than I did.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I was monitoring from the Humble Casino in San Diego, Okay,
And it looks looked like they pretty much had it
under control.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
All right, Hey, I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I'm not calling Michael Monks a liar, but I have
it on good authority.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
He was at Marong Wall.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, probably you might want to check this back. All right,
I was watching it last night. How does you know
when do when do the sheriff deputies get involved? Is
that something that LAPD has to call you up and asking?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Pretty much. At this level, it's a mutual aid request.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
All we have twenty three stations, and we have they'll
take half their roster. So let's say one hundred guys
show up at Lakewood station to work tonight. They'll take
fifty of those and put them on a mobile field force.
They'll put a sergeant, sometimes a lieutenant, and then they
once they're requested, they'll have all their gear in the
(03:14):
car and then they'll roll to wherever.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The need is.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And how long is that?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
All of our.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Twenty three stations have folks designated to respond.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, And how long is that shift? Is that an
eight hour twelve hour?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Most of our shifts are ten hour shifts. We have
some eight hour shifts, but most of guys they're ten hours.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And then what are the logistics of that. You know,
if you're there for ten hours, where do you eat?
Do you get a break? Are you just standing there
the whole time? Board to death?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So they'll roll out like a mobile command post. We
have a bureau called Emergency Operations Bureau. They have a
couple of tractor trailers that are mobile command posts and
they'll arrange food. You know, all of our jail facilities
have full kitchens, but usually they'll be kind of box
lunches and depending on the situation. Sometimes up in Lancaster
(04:04):
they'll do pizzas. They'll roll out one hundred pieces and
they'll get everybody fed and hydrated. But we have a
whole bureau that handles stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Okay, but when you guys are done with your shift,
you're eight hours, ten hours, twelve hours, whatever is, you
then go home.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, you have to be relieved. So the next shift
will come on. They will figure out who's working the
mobile field force. They'll get their gear, they'll get their sergeants,
they'll get in their cars. Then they'll come and relieve you.
But you're not leaving until you get relieved. So we've
been on you know, fires and floods, and riots where
it's a good four or five hours before you get relief.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
All right, Johnny Hanson's with us, formerly with the Sheriff's Department,
he has retired. But where I understand you guys go
home because you live here in southern California. But the
National Guard when they're done, where do they go? Are
they staying in local hotels?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
So it depends. Sometimes they'll work out stuff in advance.
They'll stay, Uh, sometimes at military housing. We have Los Alamados,
we have uh there, we have a few spots where
we can house them. If not then they could do hotels. Uh,
But we don't like to leave the equipment, you know,
kind of in those parking lots. We try and find
(05:17):
a secure facility. Sometimes we even have some housing up
at the jails of the wayside.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And what is the what is the uh? Because I
know LAP doesn't like to share any of their of
their channels on a on a radio with any other
you know, agencies. How is that coordinated between the National
Guard and LA PD.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
So they have a whole new radio system in LA
pretty much throughout the state. It's called La Ricks and
it pretty much ensures that. So after nine eleven, one
of the biggest critiques was inability to communicate via radio
with all the agencies that responded. So now we have
the ability to communicate with other cities, counties, statewide, even
(06:04):
some of the stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
We can communicate with the Feds. But if there is.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
An issue with communications, they'll just send bodies to the
command post with their radios and then we can just communicate,
you know, through a kind of a central point. But
art radio systems amazing. Now they spent a whole bunch
of federal money on communicating.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You know, I noticed last night I counted at least
ten squad cars from Burbank, and each one of those
had at least two cops. Some of them had four,
and they rolled down to help out and assist. Is
that something that you know they they will call Burbank
and ask for it, or is that a call goes
out to the entire county or the entire you know,
southern California area.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So call goes out pretty much to the southern California area.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
They're eighty eight cities within the county Los Angeles, and
some of them are patrolled by sheriff deputies. Some you know, long.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Beach, hather Opde LAPD has their own.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
So they will send out almost like a mutual aid
stand by, and they'll say, hey, you know, we're maybe
expecting some bodies, so everybody will muster up.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Burbank probably sends five or six cars. Long Beach will
send a bunch of cars, you know, El Segundo, Torrents,
all those small cities will send a percentage of their
field force.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And then they just have.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
A unified command and they say, hey, I need five
Hermosa Beach cops over here. You know, I need twenty
Long Beach cops over here, and they we train for
this in La Unfortunately we have a need. So it's
pretty seamless once the call goes out.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And is that something that La County reimburses Burbank for
or are they just all comes out in the wash.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So if it's not a pre planned event, in other words,
this is kind of an emergency event, it all comes
out in the wash.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
If it's a.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Pre planned kind of thing, they usually work out funding
either through the state. The county will put up the
money in the state will reimburse them.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You know, if I'm working Burbank, which is a pretty
sleepy town. And I get a call that I can
go right in the middle of it, you know, with
a night stick and a shield. I'm ready to roll.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh dude, there's guys.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
There's guys that are calling the station like, hey, you
need extra bodies ready. Yeah, I bet down the down
the beer, turn off to Tim McGraw and jump in
the truck.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I bet they'd be shocked. How these smaller agencies show
up and like, uh, now we play a different game
than you kids. We go, we stepped you, We stepped
the people quick.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So a lot of these guys know each other from
the academy, okay so, or from sports.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And things like that.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So a lot of times it's kind of an old
an old home reunion during the riot.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But I appreciate you coming on. I know you're enjoying
your retirement. You uh you know, cops, firemen, teachers, you
deserve every dime you get.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Thank you, my friend, and the casino appreciates it.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And uh, I'm glad you're.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Tell Sharon I got my three dollars ships. I'm heading
into the casino.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wait wait, wait, tell Sharon, you did blow that what
you said?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
What?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
No, heading into the casino, you.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Said, tell Sharon you said hello, Oh, sorry, hello to
you as well. Okay, yeah, alright, alright, but I appreciate it,
all right, thanks Ben?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Alright, all right, there he goes.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Johnny Hanson, Johnny shaky hands Hanson with the La Shrif's
Department Bomb Squad about that, you know, Belly. That threw
me off little, because most of the time when we
have callers, they don't have to inform you that they've
done blow. You know, they usually will say that I
don't I don't require it, right, And why would somebody
tell you that they did blow? You probably looked out on.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I am that kind of person that I listen and
I'm here for people.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So if somebody, if somebody called you up and goes, hey,
I love blow, do you feel do you put them
in a higher level or lower level? I don't judge, really,
you're not at all Like I like one degree. If
some somebody tells me they do cocaine, I put them
on a shelf that's much higher than everybody else. Oh.
(10:08):
I love those stories because I've never I've the only
time I've seen coke twice in my life and I
and one time I took a little on my finger
and I put on my gums they called, you know,
the freezer gums. And I never stored a cocaine, never
smoked it, never did anything. So I have a radically
addictive personality, and I know I'd be in Vegas doing
(10:30):
it with every orfice in my body. I'd be stuffing
in my ears and my mouth and my tougers boothed
and quite a picture, right, me and Vegas shoving gun. Yeah,
cocin every orifice. But I do like the coke stories,
the people, the guys who tell coke stories. Man, those
guys are the best coke stories. These are some wild stories.
(10:52):
They are the best. Guys are up for three days
playing poker in Vegas. That's They're unbelievable stories. All right,
we're live on kf I run to cover all of it.
Looks like it might get it might be heating up
again downtown La, growing protests again in downtown La. So
we're going to keep an eye on this, see what happens.
Hopefully nothing, but it's La. You gotta expect the crab's
(11:14):
gonna go down.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Forty Conway Show. Let's get right back to this. Find
out what's going on in downtown Los Angeles. That's where
everybody in the world is watching right now. Well, we
have more protests, obviously we are. Well, we have riots,
we have to unrest. Well, we have fires, graffiti.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
My bet is yes, because there's a lot of people
downtown and people don't go down there unless they're really
into mischief. The if you go down during the day,
I think you know you're you're probably properly protesting, some
of you. But if you go down there at night, ah,
you're looking for action. You're looking for action, looking to
(11:59):
mix it up the cops, and they'll mix it up
with you. They'll do that. They'll they'll deliver. Here's an
update of what's going on with the one on one freeway.
That's a hairy freeway to get through downtown.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Woof, that's a tough one. That is a tough, tough,
tough freeway.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
You have the one on one freeway. Now, this is
where we have an extremely heavy police presence. Part of
their objective is just to keep people off the freeway.
They have been very successful at that. The one on
one Freeway remains open through the area, though some of
the on ramps and off ramps.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
Are currently blocked.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Now. The law enforcement out here is a mix. We
have LAPD, we have CHP, we have the National Guard
that are all out here trying to just block people
from advancing any further forward. And from what I'm hearing
right now across the scanner, officers are trying to come
up with a game plan as to how to clear
people out of the area. So I'm awful assembly has
(12:56):
been declared so people will have some time clear out
and then if they don't, then that is when they
could be detained. But at this point, Los Angeles streets
still completely blocked here through the area. Yest leads from
downtown Los Angeles and news shop Repoort. I'm eleanareno?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Elia Monreno with Channel four. Let's go over to Channel
seven and Chris.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Christie, anyone attempted in any way to get inside or
break into the Federal building?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right? That's Mark Brown asking is anyone breaking into
the federal building? Chris CHRISTI, what do you say? What
do you know that you have said?
Speaker 9 (13:27):
The answer is not, as far as we have been
able to tell you are looking at the west side
of the Federal Building. This is the closest.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
How can you break into the Federal building? There's nine
thousand cops, LAPD, Sheriff, National Guard. There are cops standing
shoulder to shoulder around the entire Federal Building or all
the entrances. How could you possibly break in.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Of the Federal Building. This is the closest that protesters
have gotten to the entrance to the building, and in
fact the closest they have gotten today to the actual
National Guard. What's interesting is on the east side of
the building, where the detention center is. The LAPD has
created a buffer zone along Alameda Street to prevent protesters
(14:11):
from getting too close to the National Guard or the
Homeland Security officers who are defending the building. If they
can keep the fence away from the protesters, that'll alleviate
a lot of the chaos that we saw last night.
The anger here is directed squarely at the fence, not
the LAPD. Reporting love Fromiere seven. I'm Chris Christie ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I was watching it last night and when they got
Telvera Street, I said a prayer. They are the best
taketos in the world. I'm a big Taketo's guy, and
I said a little prayer that that small little taketo
stand on the north east end of Alvera Street survives.
I know, seems selfish, but man, I said a little prayer,
(14:53):
and I think it was answered. I think they answered it.
All right, let's go with DA, Nathan Hofkman and c.
Any of these young men young women are going to
be prosecuted. What are they looking at time wise? Let's
find out.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Yeah, we saw a lot of those unrest unfold live
over the weekend. Right, we have some new numbers just
in from the LAPD and L County Sheriff's Department, more
than fifty arrests over the weekend related to the protest.
But let's begin here with Hawkman. He made a clear
distinction during our interview today that his office does not
have any knowledge or an involvement in the federal immigration
rates that started all of this on Friday. But let's
talk about the protests. Hawkman says, when peaceful protesting crosses
(15:33):
the line to criminal conduct to include evandalism and assaulting
officers that we saw, his office will absolutely enforce the
law to the fullest extent.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You hear that gang if you're downtown LA. That's something
you want to hear. You want to hear because they've
got a new sheriff, new DA in town and it
might really complicate your life.
Speaker 10 (15:52):
His office will absolutely enforce the law to the fullest extent.
I asked him what charges those individuals and could be facing.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
Everything from vandalism felony vandalism charges to assault on police officers.
We saw a whole bunch of stores that were being
looted as part of this. People just took the opportunity
to go ahead and break into stores and take everything
that they wanted.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
So burglary robbery.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
Charges could also potentially be brought any violent offenses that
have been engaged.
Speaker 12 (16:22):
Yet people will look.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
Are looking at years of state prison time for these
criminal violations.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Do you hear that? Young men, young women, Hello, Hello, Hello,
if you're downtown LA. This is a very important statement.
As Rick DEAs used to say, I'm going to say
something important. I'm not going to say it, but Hawkman's
going to say this is really important for you to hear. Okay,
this could f up your future over one stupid thing
(16:52):
that you did downtown. Look, I know you're young and
you've done dumb thing, and you're doing dumb things. I
was young, I did the dumbest things you could possibly do,
and fortunately I survived. You know what one of the
dumb things I did when I was a kid, I
was sixteen, I think I was sixteen years old and
I was driving. I remember exactly where I was driving.
(17:13):
I was driving northbound on the one oh one. I
had just crossed over Havenhurst and was approaching Balboa and
then White Oak and I smelled dog s in the
car and I was with the buddy and I couldn't
figure out where it was coming from, but the whole
car smelled like dog crap. And I said, but I said,
(17:34):
check your shoes. You have dog crap on your shoes.
And he looked at his shoes. Nah, I guess nothing.
And I pulled my shoe up, my left shoe, and
it was all over my left shoes. You know what
I did? This is how stupid I was. I wouldn't
do it now. I opened the car door doing sixty
and I ran it along the freeway to clear that off.
(17:58):
Is that the dumbest thing ever? Because if I hear anything, belly,
oh please, let's not Pylon.
Speaker 13 (18:04):
Did anything you didn't lose it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I didn't lose it, but it knocked the It got
hot really quick. I'll tell you. I remember that it
knocked a lot of the crap off. But if I
hit one of those bumps, you know that separates the lanes,
it could have snapped my foot off, you know, doing
sixty miles an hour. I put my foot against the
pavement while I'm going sixty.
Speaker 13 (18:24):
I thought you took your shoe off.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now I have my foot in it. I put my
foot still in the shoe when I put it on
the freeway doing Sixty's the dumbest thing ever. So I
understand these guys doing up there dumb crap. I've done it.
But anyway, this is a very important. I know we
got to take a break. Let me just play this again.
It's very important for you to hear.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
People will look at are looking at years of state
prison time for these criminal violations.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Years in state prison, years in state prison. So be
careful and behave.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway too, and you're on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Sly Stone. Are you a big fan Crozier of sly Stone?
Oh my god, yeah, I was too. Passed away tod
at the I think age of eighty two.
Speaker 13 (19:14):
Eighty two.
Speaker 14 (19:15):
Oh that's said, no sly Stone, no Prince, Yeah, you're right,
that's right.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
No, George Clinton, Wow, Tom mcdog, none of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I feel bad for him because I saw that come
across and I thought, this is the worst day in
the calendar for a celebrity to pass away because they're
not going to get any mentions.
Speaker 14 (19:35):
It's the irony of it is pretty interesting too, because
he really hit his stride with his first hip. Sly
in the family Stone was danced to the music and
I came out the week I believe it was.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
Martin Luther King was killed.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh is that right.
Speaker 14 (19:48):
A lot of his music ended up being very sort
of like socially conscious and things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I was listening to that song today. It's such a
beautifully written song. Dance to the music. It was such
a big part of my child to that song.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
It was a big song that I played in the clubs.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Is that even then?
Speaker 13 (20:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, it just it never seemed to age. It was
always a fantastic and you know a lot of his
music you remember from commercials. You know a lot of
his songs were sold off to commercial like oh, that's
a Denny's ad or you know, I remember that that
was Sears ran that back in the nineties.
Speaker 14 (20:21):
I was fascinated by how many people, even in this
building were like who first of all thinking it was
Sylvester Stallone, right, but then even after being told no
sign the family stone and too many people were just like.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I'm sorry, Adam, and you play like a you.
Speaker 14 (20:36):
Start naming some songs, They're like, right, and then like
Debora had no idea, and then.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They then they The one thing I get asked when
I do crap like that is like.
Speaker 12 (20:46):
How old are you?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Right?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
So annoying?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, the protests are expanding. I think in downtown
LAPD is trying to push these scientists, I believe leave.
Let's see the shadows are so they're going south. They're
trying to push them south away from the Federal Building.
And when the sun is this low, when it's five
(21:11):
forty out five one nine, ten minutes of the on,
you can tell which direction they're moving by the shadow
of the cops and the protesters their shadow is on
their left, so they're all going south. And now the
cops are going up on the bridge to get these
people off the rooftops, and they seem to be very
(21:31):
aggressive in their response tonight as opposed to last night.
Speaker 14 (21:35):
It's also very interesting to watch TV coverage with things
like this because there's so much graffiti that's that's been
spray painted around that. It's always interesting to watch the
cameras for all the news starts try to avoid it,
like they'll do a wide shout, you'll see a couple
af this if that, and you'll see the camera instantly ah,
let's get over this, foe because.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
We're in this area, and then they'll say stuff like,
you know, we apologize for all the language. If you
have small children your watching with like why are you
watching riot footage with small children? What?
Speaker 13 (22:05):
Why?
Speaker 14 (22:05):
Someone report out there going yeah, there's a lot of
graffiti around here, we can't show you.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And then that you can show all the violence and
all that, and then I heard this too. How do
you tell your you know, your small children three or
four years old, what's going on? You don't, you don't,
you don't let them watch and you don't tell them
what's going on. This isn't necessary for them, No, they're
too young.
Speaker 13 (22:28):
Stucking for them to see right now.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It's right, all.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Right, mere gas mayor bras mayor bas is providing an
update here. Chief McDonald's on Channel four. I think this
is live. So let's go ahead and take this and
see what's going on here Channel four and Channel.
Speaker 15 (22:44):
Fides and respond effectively to any unrest or unlawful activity.
Let me explain for the public what all these mean.
These practical means. In practical terms, when we declare a
tactical alert, we're activating a department wide operational posture that
enables us to reallocate officers rapidly, hold over shifts as needed,
and prioritize major incidents. Officers assigned to the field remain
(23:09):
in their areas unless they're reassigned. Activities are narrowed to
police work of significance or major importance and officers who
are able to return to the field in their areas
of assignment. We also notify all relevant command staff, including
my Office, the Office of Operations Emergency Operations Division, in
(23:31):
order to ensure seamless communication and coordination in response to
current events. Who have also implemented partial mobilization of the department,
which means we've extended watch hours deferred days off for
some personnel and alerted off duty officers to be ready
for deployment. Our ability to scale up quickly is essential
(23:51):
during this kind of fluid and unpredictable situation. We're deeply
appreciative of the assistance we received through the California Mutual
Aid system, with officers and deputies from across Southern California
already on the ground in Los Angeles supporting our efforts.
We're also aware of reports that the President intends or
has deployed US Marines to Los Angeles. The introduction of
(24:16):
a federal military personnel without direct coordination creates logistical challenges
and risk confusion during critical incidents. Los Angeles Police Department,
alongside our mutual Aid partners, have decades of experience managing
large scale public demonstrations, and we remain confident in our
ability to be able to do so professionally and effectively.
(24:37):
We ariage full transparency and communication across all levels of government.
Our priority is simple, keep both the public and law
enforcement officers safe and to maintain order to the public.
We fully support your right to peacefully protest, but let
me be absolutely clear, those who choose to incite violence
engage in vandalism or graffiti or tech officers will be arrested.
(25:02):
There is no tolerance for criminal activity under the guise
of protests, and many ask you know not a lot
of people relatively speaking, have been arrested during this incident. Well,
I would say that I wouldn't argue with you on that,
but many more will be arrested as the investigation continues.
There will be many more subsequent arrests.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 15 (25:28):
Finally, I went offer my deep gratitude to the men
and women of the LAPD and all of our partner
agencies who are out there standing side by side. They're
working long hours under intense pressure, and what I've seen
is professionalism, courage, and commitment to this city has never
been more evident.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Than in the past couple of days. Thank you all
very much.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
When I'll call.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It the Bass, all right, this time's gonna do this
in Spanish, and then when Mayor Bass comes up, we
will have her on. But they're looking at downtown Los Angeles.
It talked about tactical alert, what's in store for LAPD Night,
Mutual aid, and there's still a ton of people in
(26:18):
downtown Los Angeles, not as many as last night, but
it looks like there are enough people out downtown Los
Angeles right now outside the Federal Building to create some mayhem,
and so they're going to try to get that nip
before you know, the sun goes down. And it looks like,
I don't know, maybe it's just me. It looks like
(26:39):
there are a lot more National Guard troops there tonight
than there was last night. It looks like they have
doubled in size. There's also a rumor going around. CNN
has confirmed it, and it's also confirmed with a buddy
of mine who's works for the government, that there are
five to seven hundred marines getting two Los Angeles from
(27:01):
twenty nine Palms, which is in the Palm Springs area,
and they're going to be in Los Angeles probably tonight.
So if you're on the streets in downtown LA, this
is not going to be the same party as you
had last night. This is going to be a short party.
(27:22):
I don't know if there's going to be a curfew
or anything. There was talk of it, but this is
going to be a brief party tonight and then they're
going to start arresting a lot of people who are
especially people throwing rocks at cops. I think that's over.
And you heard Nathan Hockman, the district attorney, said, this
could result in you spending many years in state prison.
(27:46):
And that's not what you want. That's not a good future.
That's not a future of getting a job, getting a house,
getting a wife or a husband, having kids, enjoying yourself.
It doesn't start with state prison. A lot of them.
Once you get into the state prison action, it's very
hard to recover from that when you leave state prison,
(28:08):
very difficult to get a job because that, you know,
that pops up when people go to hire you, and
when they go to hire you and they say, oh wait,
you spend three years in state prison. What'd you do? Well?
I threw a bunch of rocks at the highway patrol.
Oh okay, well we're going to pass on you. Yeah,
you seem a little too radical, a little too nutty
(28:29):
for us to have you here at the cleaners. We're
going to go another direction. But as soon as LAPD
they're doing the Jim McDonald, who is the chief, came
up and he talked for a while on how they're
going to handle tonight's situation, and then they're doing it
in Spanish, and then as soon as the lapd is done,
(28:50):
I think Mayor Bass will be the next one to speak.
And so we want to carry her live and see.
You know, she's got to be exhausted. It looks like, yeah,
she really does. And she will be coming up and
speaking any minute here. But it's been a long weekend
for her. She's been accused of a lot of stuff.
She's been deflecting a lot of stuff. She's been good
(29:11):
on a lot of things, crazy on some other things.
And depending on where you are, you know, politically. But
Jim McDonald's coming back up to the podium. Let's turn
it back up and see what he has to say here, joined.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
By Commander Ryan Whiteman, who usually works Operations South Bureau,
but during this incident is the day Watch incident Commander,
So I'll take any questions you have, if they're detailed questions,
Commander Whiteman would probably be better able to answer those.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
She got mobilization that.
Speaker 14 (29:42):
Might be coming affect what you guys are trying to McDonald.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
What is your biggest concern about?
Speaker 15 (29:46):
Yeah, the mobilization is what we do internally to be
able to get more robsters out there. We had declared
that earlier and now we'll have the ability to have
roughly four hundred additional officers deployed to the field.
Speaker 14 (29:58):
Are you concerned with the federal that may do National
guardy las possibly coming this way.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (30:03):
When I look at this, and my assessment may not
be accurate based on this thing's continuously churning, but I
see two parallel tracks that don't work together.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
If you will.
Speaker 15 (30:13):
We're dealing with the issues on the street that you
see every day. We deal with that with LAPD resources.
When we need additional resources, then we reach out to
the sheriff who brings in mutual aid. We have fourteen
different agencies working with us for that purpose. And then
only if we weren't able to continue to deal with
that needed additional help, would re reach out to the sheriff,
(30:35):
who would then request National Guard from the governor.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
So that's one line. The other part, then is the.
Speaker 15 (30:43):
National Guard were federalized by the President to support federal
agents who are working on behalf of Ice to do
their operation. The Marines were brought in then today evidently
to join the Army National Guard in doing what their
main mission has been identify fight as, which is the
protection of federal employees and federal property.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Do you feel that makes it any different on the street?
Speaker 15 (31:09):
You know, I think everybody it's a very emotional topic. Absolutely,
you know, could I quantify what that is? I think
it has certainly heightened everybody's level of awareness and certainly anxiety.
But to be able to quantify that, I wouldn't keep
them well taking.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
More questions and then the chief has a step off
and don't come.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
It'll be best. How are you avoiding? Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Leslie, the weapons team is used on people who are
merely there in the.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Way, potentially because it doesn't seem like everyone that's being
hit from being attacked, including fast.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I don't know, it doesn't really make any sense that
people are just being shot at.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
How you minimize.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
Or how you lost that?
Speaker 15 (31:53):
Yeah, we minimize it through training through the equipment we use.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Uh.
Speaker 15 (31:57):
It is a target specific munition. Uh that that's not
to say that it always hits the intended target, particularly
in a dynamic situation. I know that the situation you're
referring to with the member of the media, we saw
that we're very concerned about that.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
And we're looking into that trampling and.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Yeah, we're also aware of that, and we're looking at
that as well.
Speaker 12 (32:21):
And then he's going to come back.
Speaker 16 (32:23):
You know, all the streets surrounding the Federal Building Complex,
Los Angeles Temple also Almeda, they've all been cleared.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
You've pushed the crowd away from.
Speaker 16 (32:34):
I know you can't talk about all of your tactics,
but in terms of the bench marks you want to
hit tonight, are you moving people away from the freeway
as well by by clearing out those streets and moving
them towards the west.
Speaker 15 (32:47):
Yeah, we're trying to move them away from wherever the
threat is. So if there are people assaulting officers, which
is often the reason they're taking rocks or bottles or
pieces of concrete, then they will attempt to disperse that
crowd so that they don't they're not.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Enabled to continue to do that and move them out.
Speaker 15 (33:03):
If they can target individuals who've been the ones who
are the aggressors who are throwing the rocks, and they
can safely go in and arrest those individuals, they will
some of those will be arrested later and after haven't
been identified, and so this thing is moving forward in
a way that some get frustrated with and watch. But
we're out there and we have an approach to this
(33:24):
where we were not going to move a crowd into
an area where it's going to cause additional problems, into
the Civic center or into the freeway. We're going to
move them away where we think they can do the
least damage, and we're going to try then and employ
tactics who would minimize that even further.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Businesses have the damage and moving.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
I own are led, whether the vision.
Speaker 16 (33:48):
And what else they're going on at six and roadways.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
As the National Environment Acting needs with these protesters.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Some of the outlets were reporting that they were actually
sending out to your gas and on our chain.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
We did not see that. No, not that I'm aware
of at all. That I'm aware of.
Speaker 15 (34:04):
There were at least three businesses that were broken into
and property taken from them on along Broadway and maybe
other places. As far as the National Guard deploying anything
other than around the Federal building, I'm not aware of
anything like that.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Headquarters damaged, correct.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, I damaged.
Speaker 15 (34:23):
Yet the whole Civic Center that was significant damage as
it relates particularly to graffiti, broken windows, that kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Can you talk about it possible or curfew at all there?
Speaker 7 (34:33):
And then some mention of that I had continued or
was pointing out a.
Speaker 15 (34:36):
Curbw Yeah, I know, we're always thinking about that. That's
always a tool we can Employee, we certainly pulled that
off and not wanting to do that. And this is
a pretty isolated area where this has happening relative to
the size of the city, so we would if we
were to use that, it would be done very judiciously.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
All right, we'll be back, thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All right, So Mayribas is not going to speak or
oh she.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Is, Okay, good show.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Mayor Karen bass As.
Speaker 12 (35:04):
I'm sure you are aware.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
There was a large protest this afternoon. Protests and then
also David Werta, our esteemed labor leader in charge of
sciu USWW was released from custody this afternoon, so there
was a rally around city Hall that ended up at
(35:26):
the Federal Building.
Speaker 12 (35:27):
It was peaceful.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
It's my understanding that there's a few hundred individuals that
are at the Federal building now, but that there is
no reports of violence that have taken place today or
of vandalism.
Speaker 12 (35:41):
Of course, with the crowd just there.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
We will worry as it gets dark as to whether
or not there are problems, but we certainly hope that
there will not be. I just want to say I
started off my mourning with a meeting with a number
of the leaders from the immigrant rights or organizations. And
as far as we know right now, there have been
(36:05):
five raids by ICE throughout the region. I don't know,
I know of at least one or two that took
place in the city, but we're still compiling that information.
As you know, ICE does not tell anybody where they're
going to go or when they're going to be there.
But I think the thing that was most important about
the meeting today was listening to the stories of the people.
(36:29):
For example, there was a woman, a mother from Guatemala
who was looking for her husband. She wasn't able to
hear about her husband and son that were detained at
the Ambiance warehouse. She's not been able to locate him
or to communicate with him. And for the most part,
the people that have been detained have been denied access
(36:51):
to legal representation. This is unprecedented. In the past when
there were raids, lawyers were able to go in and
meet with their clients. So she's running around the area
trying to find her husband, not knowing if he's here,
has he been taken to another city, has he been
deported out of the country. There was another statement regarding
a daughter who was searching for her detained father and
(37:14):
at a certain point she actually saw him moving into
a detention facility, but since then, as far as she knows,
he has disappeared, she.
Speaker 12 (37:24):
Is not able to find out where he is.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
I can't emphasize enough the level of fear and terror
that is in Angelino's right now, not knowing if tomorrow
or tonight it might be where they live, it might
be their workplace. Should you send your kids to school,
should you go to work? And you remember this from
several years ago, this same type of fear that was
(37:47):
going around, But I heard today about something that is
so over the top.
Speaker 12 (37:53):
Can you imagine.
Speaker 8 (37:54):
Having your annual appointment to ice your annual appointment. You're here,
you might not be a citizen, but you have papers,
and you are told that you need to go to
the facility to check in, and then you are detained,
and you go with your family and your kids, and
the whole family is detained when you were legal and
(38:15):
you were trying to maintain.
Speaker 12 (38:16):
Your legal status.
Speaker 8 (38:18):
So what this means then is is that people are
going to be afraid to maintain their appointments, which then
pushes them into the closet and they will fall out
of status and then subject to.
Speaker 12 (38:32):
Arrests.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
This is the kind of thing that is happening in
our city right now.
Speaker 12 (38:37):
And I will just take you back to last Thursday.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
Last Thursday, there was nothing happening in this town that
called for the raids that took place on Friday. Nothing
was happening, nothing warranted the raids. If you remember, at
the beginning of this administration, we were told that raids
would be to look for violent criminals, people who had warrants.
But I don't know how you go from a drug
(39:02):
dealer to a home depot to people's workplaces. Where are
they just trying to make a living at home depot.
You have day laborer centers so that the people that
are trying to seek work each and every day will
have a place to be so that it doesn't interfere
with the business. These are not the people that we
were told we're going to be detained and it makes
(39:24):
me feel like our city is actually a test case,
a test case for what happens when the federal government
moves in and takes the authority away from the state, are.
Speaker 12 (39:35):
Away from local government.
Speaker 8 (39:37):
I don't think that our city should be used for
an experiment to see what happens in the nation's second
largest city.
Speaker 12 (39:45):
Well, maybe we can do this to other cities.
Speaker 8 (39:48):
And then I read a description of our city that
was so troubling to me, a description of our city
that says that we have been invaded and occupied by
illegal aliens and wminals, and that now violent insurrectionist mobs
are swarming and attacking our federal agents. I don't know
if anybody has seen that happen, but I've not seen
(40:09):
that happen. And obviously there has been violence, and the
violence is unacceptable, and we can talk about that in
a minute, But to describe our city as a migrant
invasion and that we need to put an end to
the migrant riots and to call on various secretaries of
the administration to go after our city because we want
(40:31):
order to be restored. The illegals will be expelled and
Los Angeles will be set free.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you
can always hear us live on k I AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. What a weekend
we had here in Los Angeles. Everybody around the world
is talking about Los Angeles again in a very negative light.
I don't know how much more we can afford of this.
(00:21):
We have the fires that burn the Palisades, Malibu, Altadena area,
and we had the protests at UCLA at usc with
Gaza and Israel went through went through that, and then
and now we have the protests and the unrest in
downtown Los Angeles. Cars on fire, graffiti, cops getting crap
(00:45):
thrown at him, and people are going to stop coming
to LA. People already stopped coming to LA because of
the fires. They thought the entire city burned down. And
then when we have whenever we have an earthquake, you know,
you always get a call from your aunt or your uncle.
Were you close to it? It was a three point two,
you know, and you know, Susie, we're fine. But these
(01:11):
pictures go all around the world, they're all on social media,
they're all on TV, they're all in the news, and
you're going to get another couple hundred thousand people who
are not going to come to LA because they think
the entire city is on fire. I got a call
from a relative and said hey, last night. He goes, hey,
are you okay? I said, hey, yeah, I'm watching the
(01:31):
Tonys if that's what you mean. Not really, You're right.
I probably shouldn't be this into the Tonies, but I am.
He said, no, No, where's that riot? Is that near you?
And I said, well, it's downtown LA. He says, how
far is that from you? I said, well, as the
crow Fly is probably about eight nine miles maybe driving
(01:53):
maybe ten or twelve miles. He goes, that's close. I said,
not in LA. That's a world away in Los Angeles right.
A friend of mine is uh was on the LA
Sheriff's Department was on the bomb squad there. I want
to talking about mutual aid and how the logistics of uh,
you know, control in this city. John Hansen is with it?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
John?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
How you Bob?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Good buddy? How are you?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh man? You watched this last night? I bet with
a different eye than I did.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I was monitoring from the Humble Casino in San Diego, Okay,
And it looks looked like they pretty much had it
under control.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
All right, Hey, I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I'm not calling Michael Monks a liar, but I have
it on good authority.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
He was at Marong Wall.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, probably you might want to check this back. All right,
I was watching it last night. How does you know
when do when do the sheriff deputies get involved? Is
that something that LAPD has to call you up and asking?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Pretty much. At this level, it's a mutual aid request.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
All we have twenty three stations, and we have they'll
take half their roster. So let's say one hundred guys
show up at Lakewood station to work tonight. They'll take
fifty of those and put them on a mobile field force.
They'll put a sergeant, sometimes a lieutenant, and then they
once they're requested, they'll have all their gear in the
(03:14):
car and then they'll roll to wherever.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The need is.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And how long is that?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
All of our.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Twenty three stations have folks designated to respond.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, And how long is that shift? Is that an
eight hour twelve hour?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Most of our shifts are ten hour shifts. We have
some eight hour shifts, but most of guys they're ten hours.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And then what are the logistics of that. You know,
if you're there for ten hours, where do you eat?
Do you get a break? Are you just standing there
the whole time? Board to death?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So they'll roll out like a mobile command post. We
have a bureau called Emergency Operations Bureau. They have a
couple of tractor trailers that are mobile command posts and
they'll arrange food. You know, all of our jail facilities
have full kitchens, but usually they'll be kind of box
lunches and depending on the situation. Sometimes up in Lancaster
(04:04):
they'll do pizzas. They'll roll out one hundred pieces and
they'll get everybody fed and hydrated. But we have a
whole bureau that handles stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Okay, but when you guys are done with your shift,
you're eight hours, ten hours, twelve hours, whatever is, you
then go home.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, you have to be relieved. So the next shift
will come on. They will figure out who's working the
mobile field force. They'll get their gear, they'll get their sergeants,
they'll get in their cars. Then they'll come and relieve you.
But you're not leaving until you get relieved. So we've
been on you know, fires and floods, and riots where
it's a good four or five hours before you get relief.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
All right, Johnny Hanson's with us, formerly with the Sheriff's Department,
he has retired. But where I understand you guys go
home because you live here in southern California. But the
National Guard when they're done, where do they go? Are
they staying in local hotels?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
So it depends. Sometimes they'll work out stuff in advance.
They'll stay, Uh, sometimes at military housing. We have Los Alamados,
we have uh there, we have a few spots where
we can house them. If not then they could do hotels. Uh,
But we don't like to leave the equipment, you know,
kind of in those parking lots. We try and find
(05:17):
a secure facility. Sometimes we even have some housing up
at the jails of the wayside.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And what is the what is the uh? Because I
know LAP doesn't like to share any of their of
their channels on a on a radio with any other
you know, agencies. How is that coordinated between the National
Guard and LA PD.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
So they have a whole new radio system in LA
pretty much throughout the state. It's called La Ricks and
it pretty much ensures that. So after nine eleven, one
of the biggest critiques was inability to communicate via radio
with all the agencies that responded. So now we have
the ability to communicate with other cities, counties, statewide, even
(06:04):
some of the stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
We can communicate with the Feds. But if there is.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
An issue with communications, they'll just send bodies to the
command post with their radios and then we can just communicate,
you know, through a kind of a central point. But
art radio systems amazing. Now they spent a whole bunch
of federal money on communicating.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You know, I noticed last night I counted at least
ten squad cars from Burbank, and each one of those
had at least two cops. Some of them had four,
and they rolled down to help out and assist. Is
that something that you know they they will call Burbank
and ask for it, or is that a call goes
out to the entire county or the entire you know,
southern California area.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
So call goes out pretty much to the southern California area.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
They're eighty eight cities within the county Los Angeles, and
some of them are patrolled by sheriff deputies. Some you know, long.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Beach, hather Opde LAPD has their own.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
So they will send out almost like a mutual aid
stand by, and they'll say, hey, you know, we're maybe
expecting some bodies, so everybody will muster up.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Burbank probably sends five or six cars. Long Beach will
send a bunch of cars, you know, El Segundo, Torrents,
all those small cities will send a percentage of their
field force.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And then they just have.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
A unified command and they say, hey, I need five
Hermosa Beach cops over here. You know, I need twenty
Long Beach cops over here, and they we train for
this in La Unfortunately we have a need. So it's
pretty seamless once the call goes out.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And is that something that La County reimburses Burbank for
or are they just all comes out in the wash.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So if it's not a pre planned event, in other words,
this is kind of an emergency event, it all comes
out in the wash.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
If it's a.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Pre planned kind of thing, they usually work out funding
either through the state. The county will put up the
money in the state will reimburse them.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You know, if I'm working Burbank, which is a pretty
sleepy town. And I get a call that I can
go right in the middle of it, you know, with
a night stick and a shield. I'm ready to roll.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Oh dude, there's guys.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
There's guys that are calling the station like, hey, you
need extra bodies ready. Yeah, I bet down the down
the beer, turn off to Tim McGraw and jump in
the truck.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I bet they'd be shocked. How these smaller agencies show
up and like, uh, now we play a different game
than you kids. We go, we stepped you, We stepped
the people quick.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So a lot of these guys know each other from
the academy, okay so, or from sports.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And things like that.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So a lot of times it's kind of an old
an old home reunion during the riot.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
But I appreciate you coming on. I know you're enjoying
your retirement. You uh you know, cops, firemen, teachers, you
deserve every dime you get.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Thank you, my friend, and the casino appreciates it.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And uh, I'm glad you're.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Tell Sharon I got my three dollars ships. I'm heading
into the casino.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wait wait, wait, tell Sharon, you did blow that what
you said?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
What?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
No, heading into the casino, you.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Said, tell Sharon you said hello, Oh, sorry, hello to
you as well. Okay, yeah, alright, alright, but I appreciate it,
all right, thanks Ben?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Alright, all right, there he goes.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Johnny Hanson, Johnny shaky hands Hanson with the La Shrif's
Department Bomb Squad about that, you know, Belly. That threw
me off little, because most of the time when we
have callers, they don't have to inform you that they've
done blow. You know, they usually will say that I
don't I don't require it, right, And why would somebody
tell you that they did blow? You probably looked out on.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I am that kind of person that I listen and
I'm here for people.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So if somebody, if somebody called you up and goes, hey,
I love blow, do you feel do you put them
in a higher level or lower level? I don't judge, really,
you're not at all Like I like one degree. If
some somebody tells me they do cocaine, I put them
on a shelf that's much higher than everybody else. Oh.
(10:08):
I love those stories because I've never I've the only
time I've seen coke twice in my life and I
and one time I took a little on my finger
and I put on my gums they called, you know,
the freezer gums. And I never stored a cocaine, never
smoked it, never did anything. So I have a radically
addictive personality, and I know I'd be in Vegas doing
(10:30):
it with every orfice in my body. I'd be stuffing
in my ears and my mouth and my tougers boothed
and quite a picture, right, me and Vegas shoving gun. Yeah,
cocin every orifice. But I do like the coke stories,
the people, the guys who tell coke stories. Man, those
guys are the best coke stories. These are some wild stories.
(10:52):
They are the best. Guys are up for three days
playing poker in Vegas. That's They're unbelievable stories. All right,
we're live on kf I run to cover all of it.
Looks like it might get it might be heating up
again downtown La, growing protests again in downtown La. So
we're going to keep an eye on this, see what happens.
Hopefully nothing, but it's La. You gotta expect the crab's
(11:14):
gonna go down.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Forty Conway Show. Let's get right back to this. Find
out what's going on in downtown Los Angeles. That's where
everybody in the world is watching right now. Well, we
have more protests, obviously we are. Well, we have riots,
we have to unrest. Well, we have fires, graffiti.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
My bet is yes, because there's a lot of people
downtown and people don't go down there unless they're really
into mischief. The if you go down during the day,
I think you know you're you're probably properly protesting, some
of you. But if you go down there at night, ah,
you're looking for action. You're looking for action, looking to
(11:59):
mix it up the cops, and they'll mix it up
with you. They'll do that. They'll they'll deliver. Here's an
update of what's going on with the one on one freeway.
That's a hairy freeway to get through downtown.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Man.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Woof, that's a tough one. That is a tough, tough,
tough freeway.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
You have the one on one freeway. Now, this is
where we have an extremely heavy police presence. Part of
their objective is just to keep people off the freeway.
They have been very successful at that. The one on
one Freeway remains open through the area, though some of
the on ramps and off ramps.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
Are currently blocked.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Now. The law enforcement out here is a mix. We
have LAPD, we have CHP, we have the National Guard
that are all out here trying to just block people
from advancing any further forward. And from what I'm hearing
right now across the scanner, officers are trying to come
up with a game plan as to how to clear
people out of the area. So I'm awful assembly has
(12:56):
been declared so people will have some time clear out
and then if they don't, then that is when they
could be detained. But at this point, Los Angeles streets
still completely blocked here through the area. Yest leads from
downtown Los Angeles and news shop Repoort. I'm eleanareno?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Elia Monreno with Channel four. Let's go over to Channel
seven and Chris.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Christie, anyone attempted in any way to get inside or
break into the Federal building?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
All right? That's Mark Brown asking is anyone breaking into
the federal building? Chris CHRISTI, what do you say? What
do you know that you have said?
Speaker 9 (13:27):
The answer is not, as far as we have been
able to tell you are looking at the west side
of the Federal Building. This is the closest.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
How can you break into the Federal building? There's nine
thousand cops, LAPD, Sheriff, National Guard. There are cops standing
shoulder to shoulder around the entire Federal Building or all
the entrances. How could you possibly break in.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Of the Federal Building. This is the closest that protesters
have gotten to the entrance to the building, and in
fact the closest they have gotten today to the actual
National Guard. What's interesting is on the east side of
the building, where the detention center is. The LAPD has
created a buffer zone along Alameda Street to prevent protesters
(14:11):
from getting too close to the National Guard or the
Homeland Security officers who are defending the building. If they
can keep the fence away from the protesters, that'll alleviate
a lot of the chaos that we saw last night.
The anger here is directed squarely at the fence, not
the LAPD. Reporting love Fromiere seven. I'm Chris Christie ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I was watching it last night and when they got
Telvera Street, I said a prayer. They are the best
taketos in the world. I'm a big Taketo's guy, and
I said a little prayer that that small little taketo
stand on the north east end of Alvera Street survives.
I know, seems selfish, but man, I said a little prayer,
(14:53):
and I think it was answered. I think they answered it.
All right, let's go with DA, Nathan Hofkman and c.
Any of these young men young women are going to
be prosecuted. What are they looking at time wise? Let's
find out.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Yeah, we saw a lot of those unrest unfold live
over the weekend. Right, we have some new numbers just
in from the LAPD and L County Sheriff's Department, more
than fifty arrests over the weekend related to the protest.
But let's begin here with Hawkman. He made a clear
distinction during our interview today that his office does not
have any knowledge or an involvement in the federal immigration
rates that started all of this on Friday. But let's
talk about the protests. Hawkman says, when peaceful protesting crosses
(15:33):
the line to criminal conduct to include evandalism and assaulting
officers that we saw, his office will absolutely enforce the
law to the fullest extent.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You hear that gang if you're downtown LA. That's something
you want to hear. You want to hear because they've
got a new sheriff, new DA in town and it
might really complicate your life.
Speaker 10 (15:52):
His office will absolutely enforce the law to the fullest extent.
I asked him what charges those individuals and could be facing.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
Everything from vandalism felony vandalism charges to assault on police officers.
We saw a whole bunch of stores that were being
looted as part of this. People just took the opportunity
to go ahead and break into stores and take everything
that they wanted.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
So burglary robbery.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
Charges could also potentially be brought any violent offenses that
have been engaged.
Speaker 12 (16:22):
Yet people will look.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
Are looking at years of state prison time for these
criminal violations.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Do you hear that? Young men, young women, Hello, Hello, Hello,
if you're downtown LA. This is a very important statement.
As Rick DEAs used to say, I'm going to say
something important. I'm not going to say it, but Hawkman's
going to say this is really important for you to hear. Okay,
this could f up your future over one stupid thing
(16:52):
that you did downtown. Look, I know you're young and
you've done dumb thing, and you're doing dumb things. I
was young, I did the dumbest things you could possibly do,
and fortunately I survived. You know what one of the
dumb things I did when I was a kid, I
was sixteen, I think I was sixteen years old and
I was driving. I remember exactly where I was driving.
(17:13):
I was driving northbound on the one oh one. I
had just crossed over Havenhurst and was approaching Balboa and
then White Oak and I smelled dog s in the
car and I was with the buddy and I couldn't
figure out where it was coming from, but the whole
car smelled like dog crap. And I said, but I said,
(17:34):
check your shoes. You have dog crap on your shoes.
And he looked at his shoes. Nah, I guess nothing.
And I pulled my shoe up, my left shoe, and
it was all over my left shoes. You know what
I did? This is how stupid I was. I wouldn't
do it now. I opened the car door doing sixty
and I ran it along the freeway to clear that off.
(17:58):
Is that the dumbest thing ever? Because if I hear anything, belly,
oh please, let's not Pylon.
Speaker 13 (18:04):
Did anything you didn't lose it.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I didn't lose it, but it knocked the It got
hot really quick. I'll tell you. I remember that it
knocked a lot of the crap off. But if I
hit one of those bumps, you know that separates the lanes,
it could have snapped my foot off, you know, doing
sixty miles an hour. I put my foot against the
pavement while I'm going sixty.
Speaker 13 (18:24):
I thought you took your shoe off.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Now I have my foot in it. I put my
foot still in the shoe when I put it on
the freeway doing Sixty's the dumbest thing ever. So I
understand these guys doing up there dumb crap. I've done it.
But anyway, this is a very important. I know we
got to take a break. Let me just play this again.
It's very important for you to hear.
Speaker 11 (18:45):
People will look at are looking at years of state
prison time for these criminal violations.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Years in state prison, years in state prison. So be
careful and behave.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway too, and you're on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Sly Stone. Are you a big fan Crozier of sly Stone?
Oh my god, yeah, I was too. Passed away tod
at the I think age of eighty two.
Speaker 13 (19:14):
Eighty two.
Speaker 14 (19:15):
Oh that's said, no sly Stone, no Prince, Yeah, you're right,
that's right.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
No, George Clinton, Wow, Tom mcdog, none of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I feel bad for him because I saw that come
across and I thought, this is the worst day in
the calendar for a celebrity to pass away because they're
not going to get any mentions.
Speaker 14 (19:35):
It's the irony of it is pretty interesting too, because
he really hit his stride with his first hip. Sly
in the family Stone was danced to the music and
I came out the week I believe it was.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
Martin Luther King was killed.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh is that right.
Speaker 14 (19:48):
A lot of his music ended up being very sort
of like socially conscious and things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I was listening to that song today. It's such a
beautifully written song. Dance to the music. It was such
a big part of my child to that song.
Speaker 13 (20:01):
It was a big song that I played in the clubs.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Is that even then?
Speaker 13 (20:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, it just it never seemed to age. It was
always a fantastic and you know a lot of his
music you remember from commercials. You know a lot of
his songs were sold off to commercial like oh, that's
a Denny's ad or you know, I remember that that
was Sears ran that back in the nineties.
Speaker 14 (20:21):
I was fascinated by how many people, even in this
building were like who first of all thinking it was
Sylvester Stallone, right, but then even after being told no
sign the family stone and too many people were just like.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I'm sorry, Adam, and you play like a you.
Speaker 14 (20:36):
Start naming some songs, They're like, right, and then like
Debora had no idea, and then.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They then they The one thing I get asked when
I do crap like that is like.
Speaker 12 (20:46):
How old are you?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Right?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
So annoying?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, the protests are expanding. I think in downtown
LAPD is trying to push these scientists, I believe leave.
Let's see the shadows are so they're going south. They're
trying to push them south away from the Federal Building.
And when the sun is this low, when it's five
(21:11):
forty out five one nine, ten minutes of the on,
you can tell which direction they're moving by the shadow
of the cops and the protesters their shadow is on
their left, so they're all going south. And now the
cops are going up on the bridge to get these
people off the rooftops, and they seem to be very
(21:31):
aggressive in their response tonight as opposed to last night.
Speaker 14 (21:35):
It's also very interesting to watch TV coverage with things
like this because there's so much graffiti that's that's been
spray painted around that. It's always interesting to watch the
cameras for all the news starts try to avoid it,
like they'll do a wide shout, you'll see a couple
af this if that, and you'll see the camera instantly ah,
let's get over this, foe because.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
We're in this area, and then they'll say stuff like,
you know, we apologize for all the language. If you
have small children your watching with like why are you
watching riot footage with small children? What?
Speaker 13 (22:05):
Why?
Speaker 14 (22:05):
Someone report out there going yeah, there's a lot of
graffiti around here, we can't show you.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And then that you can show all the violence and
all that, and then I heard this too. How do
you tell your you know, your small children three or
four years old, what's going on? You don't, you don't,
you don't let them watch and you don't tell them
what's going on. This isn't necessary for them, No, they're
too young.
Speaker 13 (22:28):
Stucking for them to see right now.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It's right, all.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Right, mere gas mayor bras mayor bas is providing an
update here. Chief McDonald's on Channel four. I think this
is live. So let's go ahead and take this and
see what's going on here Channel four and Channel.
Speaker 15 (22:44):
Fides and respond effectively to any unrest or unlawful activity.
Let me explain for the public what all these mean.
These practical means. In practical terms, when we declare a
tactical alert, we're activating a department wide operational posture that
enables us to reallocate officers rapidly, hold over shifts as needed,
and prioritize major incidents. Officers assigned to the field remain
(23:09):
in their areas unless they're reassigned. Activities are narrowed to
police work of significance or major importance and officers who
are able to return to the field in their areas
of assignment. We also notify all relevant command staff, including
my Office, the Office of Operations Emergency Operations Division, in
(23:31):
order to ensure seamless communication and coordination in response to
current events. Who have also implemented partial mobilization of the department,
which means we've extended watch hours deferred days off for
some personnel and alerted off duty officers to be ready
for deployment. Our ability to scale up quickly is essential
(23:51):
during this kind of fluid and unpredictable situation. We're deeply
appreciative of the assistance we received through the California Mutual
Aid system, with officers and deputies from across Southern California
already on the ground in Los Angeles supporting our efforts.
We're also aware of reports that the President intends or
has deployed US Marines to Los Angeles. The introduction of
(24:16):
a federal military personnel without direct coordination creates logistical challenges
and risk confusion during critical incidents. Los Angeles Police Department,
alongside our mutual Aid partners, have decades of experience managing
large scale public demonstrations, and we remain confident in our
ability to be able to do so professionally and effectively.
(24:37):
We ariage full transparency and communication across all levels of government.
Our priority is simple, keep both the public and law
enforcement officers safe and to maintain order to the public.
We fully support your right to peacefully protest, but let
me be absolutely clear, those who choose to incite violence
engage in vandalism or graffiti or tech officers will be arrested.
(25:02):
There is no tolerance for criminal activity under the guise
of protests, and many ask you know not a lot
of people relatively speaking, have been arrested during this incident. Well,
I would say that I wouldn't argue with you on that,
but many more will be arrested as the investigation continues.
There will be many more subsequent arrests.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 15 (25:28):
Finally, I went offer my deep gratitude to the men
and women of the LAPD and all of our partner
agencies who are out there standing side by side. They're
working long hours under intense pressure, and what I've seen
is professionalism, courage, and commitment to this city has never
been more evident.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Than in the past couple of days. Thank you all
very much.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
When I'll call.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It the Bass, all right, this time's gonna do this
in Spanish, and then when Mayor Bass comes up, we
will have her on. But they're looking at downtown Los Angeles.
It talked about tactical alert, what's in store for LAPD Night,
Mutual aid, and there's still a ton of people in
(26:18):
downtown Los Angeles, not as many as last night, but
it looks like there are enough people out downtown Los
Angeles right now outside the Federal Building to create some mayhem,
and so they're going to try to get that nip
before you know, the sun goes down. And it looks like,
I don't know, maybe it's just me. It looks like
(26:39):
there are a lot more National Guard troops there tonight
than there was last night. It looks like they have
doubled in size. There's also a rumor going around. CNN
has confirmed it, and it's also confirmed with a buddy
of mine who's works for the government, that there are
five to seven hundred marines getting two Los Angeles from
(27:01):
twenty nine Palms, which is in the Palm Springs area,
and they're going to be in Los Angeles probably tonight.
So if you're on the streets in downtown LA, this
is not going to be the same party as you
had last night. This is going to be a short party.
(27:22):
I don't know if there's going to be a curfew
or anything. There was talk of it, but this is
going to be a brief party tonight and then they're
going to start arresting a lot of people who are
especially people throwing rocks at cops. I think that's over.
And you heard Nathan Hockman, the district attorney, said, this
could result in you spending many years in state prison.
(27:46):
And that's not what you want. That's not a good future.
That's not a future of getting a job, getting a house,
getting a wife or a husband, having kids, enjoying yourself.
It doesn't start with state prison. A lot of them.
Once you get into the state prison action, it's very
hard to recover from that when you leave state prison,
(28:08):
very difficult to get a job because that, you know,
that pops up when people go to hire you, and
when they go to hire you and they say, oh wait,
you spend three years in state prison. What'd you do? Well?
I threw a bunch of rocks at the highway patrol.
Oh okay, well we're going to pass on you. Yeah,
you seem a little too radical, a little too nutty
(28:29):
for us to have you here at the cleaners. We're
going to go another direction. But as soon as LAPD
they're doing the Jim McDonald, who is the chief, came
up and he talked for a while on how they're
going to handle tonight's situation, and then they're doing it
in Spanish, and then as soon as the lapd is done,
(28:50):
I think Mayor Bass will be the next one to speak.
And so we want to carry her live and see.
You know, she's got to be exhausted. It looks like, yeah,
she really does. And she will be coming up and
speaking any minute here. But it's been a long weekend
for her. She's been accused of a lot of stuff.
She's been deflecting a lot of stuff. She's been good
(29:11):
on a lot of things, crazy on some other things.
And depending on where you are, you know, politically. But
Jim McDonald's coming back up to the podium. Let's turn
it back up and see what he has to say here, joined.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
By Commander Ryan Whiteman, who usually works Operations South Bureau,
but during this incident is the day Watch incident Commander,
So I'll take any questions you have, if they're detailed questions,
Commander Whiteman would probably be better able to answer those.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
She got mobilization that.
Speaker 14 (29:42):
Might be coming affect what you guys are trying to McDonald.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
What is your biggest concern about?
Speaker 15 (29:46):
Yeah, the mobilization is what we do internally to be
able to get more robsters out there. We had declared
that earlier and now we'll have the ability to have
roughly four hundred additional officers deployed to the field.
Speaker 14 (29:58):
Are you concerned with the federal that may do National
guardy las possibly coming this way.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (30:03):
When I look at this, and my assessment may not
be accurate based on this thing's continuously churning, but I
see two parallel tracks that don't work together.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
If you will.
Speaker 15 (30:13):
We're dealing with the issues on the street that you
see every day. We deal with that with LAPD resources.
When we need additional resources, then we reach out to
the sheriff who brings in mutual aid. We have fourteen
different agencies working with us for that purpose. And then
only if we weren't able to continue to deal with
that needed additional help, would re reach out to the sheriff,
(30:35):
who would then request National Guard from the governor.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
So that's one line. The other part, then is the.
Speaker 15 (30:43):
National Guard were federalized by the President to support federal
agents who are working on behalf of Ice to do
their operation. The Marines were brought in then today evidently
to join the Army National Guard in doing what their
main mission has been identify fight as, which is the
protection of federal employees and federal property.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
Do you feel that makes it any different on the street?
Speaker 15 (31:09):
You know, I think everybody it's a very emotional topic. Absolutely,
you know, could I quantify what that is? I think
it has certainly heightened everybody's level of awareness and certainly anxiety.
But to be able to quantify that, I wouldn't keep
them well taking.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
More questions and then the chief has a step off
and don't come.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
It'll be best. How are you avoiding? Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Leslie, the weapons team is used on people who are
merely there in the.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Way, potentially because it doesn't seem like everyone that's being
hit from being attacked, including fast.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I don't know, it doesn't really make any sense that
people are just being shot at.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
How you minimize.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
Or how you lost that?
Speaker 15 (31:53):
Yeah, we minimize it through training through the equipment we use.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Uh.
Speaker 15 (31:57):
It is a target specific munition. Uh that that's not
to say that it always hits the intended target, particularly
in a dynamic situation. I know that the situation you're
referring to with the member of the media, we saw
that we're very concerned about that.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
And we're looking into that trampling and.
Speaker 15 (32:15):
Yeah, we're also aware of that, and we're looking at
that as well.
Speaker 12 (32:21):
And then he's going to come back.
Speaker 16 (32:23):
You know, all the streets surrounding the Federal Building Complex,
Los Angeles Temple also Almeda, they've all been cleared.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
You've pushed the crowd away from.
Speaker 16 (32:34):
I know you can't talk about all of your tactics,
but in terms of the bench marks you want to
hit tonight, are you moving people away from the freeway
as well by by clearing out those streets and moving
them towards the west.
Speaker 15 (32:47):
Yeah, we're trying to move them away from wherever the
threat is. So if there are people assaulting officers, which
is often the reason they're taking rocks or bottles or
pieces of concrete, then they will attempt to disperse that
crowd so that they don't they're not.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Enabled to continue to do that and move them out.
Speaker 15 (33:03):
If they can target individuals who've been the ones who
are the aggressors who are throwing the rocks, and they
can safely go in and arrest those individuals, they will
some of those will be arrested later and after haven't
been identified, and so this thing is moving forward in
a way that some get frustrated with and watch. But
we're out there and we have an approach to this
(33:24):
where we were not going to move a crowd into
an area where it's going to cause additional problems, into
the Civic center or into the freeway. We're going to
move them away where we think they can do the
least damage, and we're going to try then and employ
tactics who would minimize that even further.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Businesses have the damage and moving.
Speaker 8 (33:45):
I own are led, whether the vision.
Speaker 16 (33:48):
And what else they're going on at six and roadways.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
As the National Environment Acting needs with these protesters.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Some of the outlets were reporting that they were actually
sending out to your gas and on our chain.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
We did not see that. No, not that I'm aware
of at all. That I'm aware of.
Speaker 15 (34:04):
There were at least three businesses that were broken into
and property taken from them on along Broadway and maybe
other places. As far as the National Guard deploying anything
other than around the Federal building, I'm not aware of
anything like that.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Headquarters damaged, correct.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, I damaged.
Speaker 15 (34:23):
Yet the whole Civic Center that was significant damage as
it relates particularly to graffiti, broken windows, that kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Can you talk about it possible or curfew at all there?
Speaker 7 (34:33):
And then some mention of that I had continued or
was pointing out a.
Speaker 15 (34:36):
Curbw Yeah, I know, we're always thinking about that. That's
always a tool we can Employee, we certainly pulled that
off and not wanting to do that. And this is
a pretty isolated area where this has happening relative to
the size of the city, so we would if we
were to use that, it would be done very judiciously.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
All right, we'll be back, thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
All right, So Mayribas is not going to speak or
oh she.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Is, Okay, good show.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Mayor Karen bass As.
Speaker 12 (35:04):
I'm sure you are aware.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
There was a large protest this afternoon. Protests and then
also David Werta, our esteemed labor leader in charge of
sciu USWW was released from custody this afternoon, so there
was a rally around city Hall that ended up at
(35:26):
the Federal Building.
Speaker 12 (35:27):
It was peaceful.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
It's my understanding that there's a few hundred individuals that
are at the Federal building now, but that there is
no reports of violence that have taken place today or
of vandalism.
Speaker 12 (35:41):
Of course, with the crowd just there.
Speaker 8 (35:43):
We will worry as it gets dark as to whether
or not there are problems, but we certainly hope that
there will not be. I just want to say I
started off my mourning with a meeting with a number
of the leaders from the immigrant rights or organizations. And
as far as we know right now, there have been
(36:05):
five raids by ICE throughout the region. I don't know,
I know of at least one or two that took
place in the city, but we're still compiling that information.
As you know, ICE does not tell anybody where they're
going to go or when they're going to be there.
But I think the thing that was most important about
the meeting today was listening to the stories of the people.
(36:29):
For example, there was a woman, a mother from Guatemala
who was looking for her husband. She wasn't able to
hear about her husband and son that were detained at
the Ambiance warehouse. She's not been able to locate him
or to communicate with him. And for the most part,
the people that have been detained have been denied access
(36:51):
to legal representation. This is unprecedented. In the past when
there were raids, lawyers were able to go in and
meet with their clients. So she's running around the area
trying to find her husband, not knowing if he's here,
has he been taken to another city, has he been
deported out of the country. There was another statement regarding
a daughter who was searching for her detained father and
(37:14):
at a certain point she actually saw him moving into
a detention facility, but since then, as far as she knows,
he has disappeared, she.
Speaker 12 (37:24):
Is not able to find out where he is.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
I can't emphasize enough the level of fear and terror
that is in Angelino's right now, not knowing if tomorrow
or tonight it might be where they live, it might
be their workplace. Should you send your kids to school,
should you go to work? And you remember this from
several years ago, this same type of fear that was
(37:47):
going around, But I heard today about something that is
so over the top.
Speaker 12 (37:53):
Can you imagine.
Speaker 8 (37:54):
Having your annual appointment to ice your annual appointment. You're here,
you might not be a citizen, but you have papers,
and you are told that you need to go to
the facility to check in, and then you are detained,
and you go with your family and your kids, and
the whole family is detained when you were legal and
(38:15):
you were trying to maintain.
Speaker 12 (38:16):
Your legal status.
Speaker 8 (38:18):
So what this means then is is that people are
going to be afraid to maintain their appointments, which then
pushes them into the closet and they will fall out
of status and then subject to.
Speaker 12 (38:32):
Arrests.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
This is the kind of thing that is happening in
our city right now.
Speaker 12 (38:37):
And I will just take you back to last Thursday.
Speaker 8 (38:40):
Last Thursday, there was nothing happening in this town that
called for the raids that took place on Friday. Nothing
was happening, nothing warranted the raids. If you remember, at
the beginning of this administration, we were told that raids
would be to look for violent criminals, people who had warrants.
But I don't know how you go from a drug
(39:02):
dealer to a home depot to people's workplaces. Where are
they just trying to make a living at home depot.
You have day laborer centers so that the people that
are trying to seek work each and every day will
have a place to be so that it doesn't interfere
with the business. These are not the people that we
were told we're going to be detained and it makes
(39:24):
me feel like our city is actually a test case,
a test case for what happens when the federal government
moves in and takes the authority away from the state, are.
Speaker 12 (39:35):
Away from local government.
Speaker 8 (39:37):
I don't think that our city should be used for
an experiment to see what happens in the nation's second
largest city.
Speaker 12 (39:45):
Well, maybe we can do this to other cities.
Speaker 8 (39:48):
And then I read a description of our city that
was so troubling to me, a description of our city
that says that we have been invaded and occupied by
illegal aliens and wminals, and that now violent insurrectionist mobs
are swarming and attacking our federal agents. I don't know
if anybody has seen that happen, but I've not seen
(40:09):
that happen. And obviously there has been violence, and the
violence is unacceptable, and we can talk about that in
a minute, But to describe our city as a migrant
invasion and that we need to put an end to
the migrant riots and to call on various secretaries of
the administration to go after our city because we want
(40:31):
order to be restored. The illegals will be expelled and
Los Angeles will be set free.
