And we have 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: a brand new poll to drop today in the race 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: for governor here in the state of California that showed 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: the nightmare scenario for Democrats yet again. It showed former 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: Fox News commentator Steve Hilton finishing in first place and 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, another Republican, finishing in second place, 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: with Eric Swalwell winning the bronze and Katie Porter and 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: Tom Steyer right behind him. 24 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw that poll. And you've got the Democratic 25 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: Party chairman, of course, the original party, the DEI, trying 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: to get the the the minority candidates out of the 27 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: race to make room for the straight white candidates. What 28 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: do you think of that? So to make room for 29 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: a Swallwell and and Porter and the new guy Mahon, 30 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: the mayor of santase who we really don't know much 31 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: about other than he'll end up being another left winger. So, 32 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: but it's if the if the Republicans get out in 33 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: force uh and and discipline themselves, and the Republican Party 34 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 3: gets organized for once, and the state party chair and 35 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: the county chairs organize their masses, and the party organizations 36 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 3: get organized and and vote heavily for either Bianco and 37 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: Hilton in the primary, and maybe the two of them 38 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: will get out there, and the Democrats are disorganized and 39 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 3: none of them want to get out of this race. 40 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: We can end up with the top two Republicans in 41 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: the race, and one of them we'll get elected, we'll 42 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: have a Republican government. But what's likely to happen, John, 43 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: is that the Democrats and their labor union pals, the 44 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: s c i U and ther teachers' unions and related unions, 45 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: are in huge panic mode. And of course they've got 46 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars in their war chest and 47 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: they're going to start getting they're one of the great 48 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: monopolies in American politics, and they'll probably get together and 49 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: try to figure out along with the Democratic National Committee 50 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: and then Democratic National Governors Association, and decide what's their 51 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: best option. And the best option for them will probably 52 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: try to figure out how to pour money against one 53 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: of the Republican candidates and for one of the Republican 54 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: candidates so that one of them does well and the 55 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: other does poorly, so that one of them survives in 56 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: the primary one of them goes down. But that means 57 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: they also have to choose one of the Democrats as 58 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: their favorite candidate. So it's it's but they're having a 59 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: tough time because they've got all their Democrat pals like 60 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: Slawall and Porter and who who've who've treed their party 61 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: line over the years and kissed up to them and Styre, 62 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: who made that of course outlet Atlantish promises. But then 63 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: they've got Zavir Basera, and and Antonio Viragosa, by the way, 64 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: who is a h who's been a friend of mine 65 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 3: in the past. I think Antonio is he's the only 66 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 3: one that's actually has any governing experience in that group 67 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 3: as mayor of Los Angeles. And but they've got these 68 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 3: uh and already candidates who they've got to deal with. 69 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: So I think they have a Hobson's choice as a 70 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: partisan Republican. I'm having a delightful time watching the squirm. 71 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Over the course of your correspondence and your conversations with 72 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: former President Nixon, did you ever talk about his run 73 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: for the governorship in California? And I asked that question 74 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: because Nixon is a guy who thought a lot about 75 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: issues like China. He thought a lot about the Cold War, 76 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: he thought a lot about Vietnam. He thought a lot 77 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: about a lot of federal issues, a lot of international issues. 78 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: He never really, even back when he was a congressman 79 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: from California, showed much interest in state and local issues. 80 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: He was a guy who looked at the globe, not 81 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: at the state, and it seemed like and based on 82 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: what I've read, he was disinterested in water and deals 83 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: with the Indians and all the issues that a governor 84 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: would have to deal with, and that was part of 85 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: the reason I think that he lost that election to 86 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: Pat Brown. When you look at Eric Swallwell, who's the 87 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: leading Democratic candidate right now, I see a lot of 88 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: those elements in him where he only wants to talk 89 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: about Donald Trump. Hell, he doesn't even live in the 90 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: state of California. He lives in Maryland, so I'm not 91 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: even sure he could find us on a map. But 92 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: he has no interest on California issues and certainly no 93 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: understanding of them, and that has to drive the other 94 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: candidates crazy, especially the ones who have a background in 95 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: state and local government where they actually do know something 96 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: about it. They may not have the answers, but they've 97 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: at least done the reading and they understand the issues. 98 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: He has no understanding of it, and that has to 99 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: drive them crazy. And when the chairman of the California 100 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: Democratic Party comes to them and says it's time for 101 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: you to get out of the way for this guy 102 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: who knows nothing and has no interest in learning anything, 103 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: that has to make them furious. 104 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 3: Well, it does have to be good. Previous, by the 105 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 3: way I had, I had long discussions with President Nixon 106 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: about that sixty two campaign, and and he he said 107 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: that a lot of he got a lot of advice 108 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: not to do it. President Eisenhower told him not to 109 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: do it. Missus Nixon didn't want him to run, and 110 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: and he waited very carefully back and forth. And but 111 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: you know, he basically he was restless, and and he 112 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: didn't want to practice law, and he felt that he 113 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: just had to be running for something. And I think 114 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: and and he looking back, I know he felt that 115 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 3: it wasn't the right thing to do. Now, going thinking 116 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: about Swallow, you're you're absolutely right, there's there's some of 117 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: that same thing. But at least uh Nixon, you know, 118 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 3: he was a congressman and senator and vice president traveled 119 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: the state. And Nixon knew where Tillery County wash and 120 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 3: Bakersfield was a Swawell I couldn't find Wasasco or Boildale 121 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: on the map. And let me tell you what I 122 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 3: would do with Swallwell, you know, he really is not 123 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: a resident, as you know there when he comes to California, 124 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: he lives in a hotel. But what I would do 125 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: is Swalwell if I was running against him as a Democrat. 126 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 3: You know, he lives in Washington. He has a home 127 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 3: in Washington. His wife lives there and has three children 128 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: live there. His kids don't even go to public school 129 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: in California. And so if your kids don't go to 130 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: California schools, how can you say you're running for governor 131 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: if your kids don't go to public schools? That's insane? 132 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: Uh? 133 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 3: And then he's going to be seeking the endorsement of 134 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 3: the cal Teachers' Association and your kids don't go to 135 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: public schools in California. How crazy is that? John? It's 136 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: it's that's that disqualifies them, just as equally as the 137 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: fact that he doesn't even live here. This guy's a 138 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: nutcase from a to Z. You know, he doesn't want 139 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: people who work for Ice. He said that if they 140 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: live in California, they can't ever get another job here forever. 141 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: He's just a looney tune to begin with. He would 142 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 3: be a hunter disasters of California. I wouldn't run him 143 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 3: for running a sewer district in Inland Empire. 144 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: I just don't know why they're going to be willing, 145 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: and they haven't yet, but I think they're moving in 146 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: that direction to put all of their eggs in this 147 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: guy's basket when you know he's reckless. He's one of 148 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: these cable news bomb throwers. This would be the equivalent 149 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: of the Republicans nominating Marjorie Taylor Green to run for governor, 150 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: or that woman from Colorado who always has the Jessica 151 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 1: Rabbit bress out on display. I don't understand why you 152 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: would go in that direction, given all the liabilities that 153 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: would be associated with someone like that. 154 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: Well, again, it just makes no sense to me. He's 155 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: just he's not even a moving target. He's got a 156 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 3: bullseye on his back. He says whatever comes to his head, 157 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 3: and it's uh. This guy makes on some days, he 158 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: makes mom Domni, the the socialist, the semi comments, the 159 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 3: mayor of New York look like a reasonable conservative. Sometimes again, 160 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: he would be just and you know, if he did 161 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 3: become governor, John you you know within weeks, Well, let 162 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 3: me back up. You know, he ran for president and 163 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: I can't remember the last cycle. I believe twenty twenty. 164 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: He ran for president twenty twenty, so you know, he's 165 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: got his eyes on the presidency, so if he ran 166 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: for if he won the governorship, he'd immediately started running 167 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: for president. So he has no interest in California. So 168 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 3: on inauguration day, the man he became government started running 169 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: for president, so he has You're right, he has no 170 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: interest in California, so he'd be heading for Washington. He'd 171 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: start international travel just like Newsom is doing now. And 172 00:11:52,840 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: if I were Hicks this Democrat Party leader, I'd see 173 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 3: this guy is a radical, crazy case that is going 174 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 3: to bring boom to the to the Democratic Party and 175 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 3: be a heavyweight that's gonna they will bear for a 176 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 3: long time to come. 177 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: We're speaking with Ken Kachigian, who was an advisor and 178 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: writer to former presidents Reagan and Nixon. You can go 179 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: ahead and get his book, his excellent book where he 180 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: talks about all that at Reagan and Nixon dot com. Ken. 181 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: Let's move on to Iran here for a second, because 182 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: yesterday the Israeli government took out two of Iran's top officials, 183 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: a top official of the military, a top official in 184 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: the government, maybe even the guy that was running the government. 185 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: Considering the Ayatola's son seems to be under the weather. 186 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: Shall we say, what do you make of those two kills? 187 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: And where do you see Iran going? 188 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: You know? I I found that absolutely fascinating that, uh, 189 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: the Israeli's theory now of taking their leadership out one 190 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: by one. I think his name was Eli Georgani, And 191 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: there's this excellent strategy on their part, uh to to 192 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: go after them Ali Lar, Johnny Laria and Johnny I 193 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 3: think is his name, and to target them one by one, 194 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: and and they're getting assistance from Iranians themselves. And now 195 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 3: the Iranian leadership is hiding in buses and under bridges 196 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 3: and they're all they all know they've got bullseyes on 197 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: their backs. And I think it's an excellent strategy that 198 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: uh compliments what's going on. So if if they continue 199 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 3: to take out the leader ship that way, it's going 200 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: to and they're not just doing that, they're taking out 201 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 3: the revolutionary Guard leadership as well, which is going to 202 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: start making the Revolutionary Guard nervous as well as the 203 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 3: other leaders who are creating terrorism on the streets, which 204 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: frightened the Iranian people, so that if they continue doing that, 205 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 3: you may finally get to the point within a few 206 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: weeks where they might not be fearful of getting into 207 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: the streets. So I don't think that's a I mean, 208 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: I think that's an excellent strategy. And the thing is, John, 209 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: the naysayers have been so terrible in this the left wing, 210 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: by the cheerleaders for failure, the ones that who take 211 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: their hatred for or Trump over the goodwill of America 212 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 3: to the degree that they really do almost want a 213 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 3: defeat for the cause that we're engaged in now just 214 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 3: so they can have an embarrassment of Trump. You read 215 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: the newspaper, if you watch an you watch some of 216 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 3: the lunatics on MS what do they call it MS 217 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: now or whatever it is, and and even a lot 218 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: of the headlines and some of the more reasonable newspapers 219 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: where the analysts are suggesting all the obstacle so called 220 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: obstacles for in the pathways to victory and neuron. But 221 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 3: you have to remember what we endured with the the killing, 222 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: the murders of trun and forty one Marine and the 223 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 3: Big Root Barracks, uh and and in Germany, and then 224 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: killings in the Kobar Towers in Saudi Arabia. That was 225 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: all fostered by by Iran providing money to the training 226 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: to the terrorists. They and they've been fostering this all 227 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: over the world, and there's a there is a method 228 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: to what the strategy here. And so I think if 229 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 3: Trump six to his guns, literally six to his guns, 230 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: then I think there's some strategic sense of it. But 231 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 3: he's doing this in the face of what as I saw, 232 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 3: I called this the cheerleaders for failure. And every White 233 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 3: House has this and some of that internally. You can 234 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 3: already see the sour grape and sour greats I read. 235 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 3: I write about this my book in chapter sixteen, where 236 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: you have internal people within the White and the Reagan 237 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 3: White House who had sur grapes on some of Reagan's 238 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: policies leaking against them. And now you're seeing some of 239 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: this within the even Trump's administration, where they disagree with 240 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 3: his policies, which is not good, and Trump can single 241 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: them out and get them out, and it's probably good. 242 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: That's a fellow Kent I got out of there, Frankly. 243 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: Ken Kachigian.
