Residents in Boyle Heights 50 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: say that they're bleeding from the nose and have lungs 51 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: that are filled with fluid thanks to the toxic fire 52 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: and smoke that has burned for days on end at 53 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: the cold storage facility. At the same time that all 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: of that was going on, the Mayor of Los Angeles, 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: Karen Bass, and the La County Director of Public Health 56 00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 3: Barbara Ferrare and company told them repeatedly in multiple forums 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: that it was perfectly safe to breathe in the smoke, 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: and when residents went to public health clinics they were 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: given tile it all and told to go home. Now 60 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 3: they are furious. They had a big event down there 61 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: where the mayor showed up, Barbara Ferrer showed up, They 62 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: got cursed out, they got yelled at. The residents are 63 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: absolutely furious with them, and I would imagine at some 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 3: point they are going to lawyer up. 65 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 6: What do you make all of that? 66 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, the idea that it's safe to breathe the 67 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: air is a big croc and I can't imagine the 68 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: politicians would go out on a limb and say this 69 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: to the public, just so everybody will feel a little better, 70 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: because in a while they're not going to feel well 71 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: at all. I mean, we're talking about eighty five million 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: pounds of a food I believe, stacked sixty sixty feet high. 73 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: I mean it visualized like the biggest home depot in 74 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: the world with those giant ceilings and you know, several 75 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: aircraft carriers or football fields, that's how big this was. 76 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 2: And I mean you were talking about tiny little plastic 77 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: particles floating through the air that embed themselves deeply into 78 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: people's lungs. So the idea that, oh, return to your homes, 79 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: you know, take a deep breath, everything is going to 80 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: be fine. Yeah, they're going to lawyer up. It's weird 81 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: to me, John that people haven't yet filed lawsuits. Now, 82 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: sometimes they are administrative hoops you have to jump through. 83 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: You may not file a suit until you exhaust some 84 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: sort of administrative remedy or file a claim for relief 85 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: with some regulatory body. But very soon we're going to 86 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: see lawsuits, possibly class actions, hundreds or thousands of individual suits. 87 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, this is going to drag on for decades. 88 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: Who do you think the lawsuit would be directed at? 89 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 3: And I say that because Bass was out making that 90 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 3: claim to residents. However, the source of her information came 91 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 3: from the La County Department of Public Health and Barbara Ferrar. 92 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: The City of La is unlike Pasadena and Long Beach 93 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 3: cities that have their own department of Public Health. The 94 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: City of La farms it out to the county, and 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: the county is supposed to be the ones that monitors 96 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: all these situations and then gives the advice to the 97 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: various cities who work with them. It was the county 98 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 3: who told the city that everything was safe. 99 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and whoever says something that isn't true that makes 100 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: the situation worse is going to get added to the 101 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: lengthy list of defendants. I mean, certainly they're going to 102 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: sue the owners of the property. They're going to sue 103 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: the people who maybe caused it. Allegedly some folks are 104 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: up on the roof fussing with some sort of solar 105 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,679 Speaker 2: panels or something, and they caused it. But in addition 106 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 2: to the people who actually own the building maintained the building. 107 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: If you're a public entity, if you're representatives of the 108 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: county or the city, and you give bad advice, guess 109 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: what you're going to be added to the list of defendants. 110 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: And of course, the more defendants, the more deep pockets 111 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: you have, because everybody has some sort of insurance strategy. 112 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 2: From the plaintiffs lawyer standpoint is to get as many 113 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: deep pockets in there, even if you know the allegations 114 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: maybe are a little flaky, a little shaky. Nonetheless, when 115 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 2: everybody has to come to a mediation and try to 116 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: sit down, and you've got fifteen or twenty defendants, each 117 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: of whom has a lot of money, that makes it 118 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: a lot easier to settle and resolve the case. Because 119 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: you know, you hear about class actions a lot, John, 120 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: but very rarely do you actually go to trial. I mean, 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: I handled cases for decades and I could count on 122 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: the fingers of one hand the times we actually went 123 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 2: to trial in a class action setting. Because people are 124 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 2: allergic to taking the gamble. Instead, they want to hire 125 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: a really sharp, fast talking retired judge who can act 126 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: as a mediator and get everybody to the table and 127 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: resolve the matters short of a trial, because you never 128 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: know what a jury's going to do. 129 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 3: How difficult is it to sue the government when the 130 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: government drops the ball, Because we see this happen. We 131 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: saw it happen in the Palisades with the fires. We've 132 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 3: seen it happen time and time again. When a company 133 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 3: is at fault, it seems like that's pretty cut and dry, 134 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: that's easy. But if the negligence of the city or 135 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: the negligence of the county is responsible for a bad 136 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: problem getting worse, that seems to be a tougher pod 137 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: it is. 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: You know, if you're suing a regular human being or 139 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: a company, just fire away, do your best and see 140 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: what the judge or jury think. If you're filing against 141 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: a public entity like a government, they have something called 142 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: sovereign immunity, and it simply means that for centuries, our 143 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: legal system in America has been based on the idea that, okay, 144 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: you can sue the government under some circumstances, but there 145 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: have to be limits on it, because otherwise that's all 146 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: the government would do, would be to spend all their 147 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: time and money lawyering up and defending against possibly frivolous suits. 148 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: The good news for consumers is that this immunity isn't absolute. 149 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: It's just a higher bar. You have to demonstrate that, 150 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: in fact, there was some gross negligence, some recklessness. So 151 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: if it's merely the negligen standard that applies to the 152 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: rest of us, it's very difficult to overcome that governmental 153 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: immunity doctrine. 154 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: If there is a lawsuit, would the money likely go 155 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: to the people who were harmed by this, or would 156 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 3: the money go to some of these NGOs, some of 157 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 3: these non for profits who are supposed to be there 158 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 3: to help the community, and they're the ones that are 159 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: being given money currently by the government to pass out 160 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: the air purifiers and the masks and all of those 161 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: sorts of things. Who would ring the cash registers should 162 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: there be a class action suit. 163 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: The people with the plastic embedded deeply into their lungs, 164 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: they're the ones who get the money. The nonprofits are involved, 165 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: they raise all sorts of money, they sometimes do good works, 166 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: But you have to demonstrate that you personally were actually injured. 167 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: You're not just somebody with a rooting interest. And that's 168 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: a big problem because you know, if you've got thousands 169 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: of people saying, Okay, we're going to join a class 170 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: action and we're going to sue all the bad guys 171 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: that cause this ridicut terrible problem, plus some of the 172 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: city and the state folks that made it worse. That's fine, 173 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: except the judge is likely to say, you don't get 174 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: a class action if everybody is going to have to 175 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 2: spend endless amounts of time demonstrating their personal situation. Oh, 176 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: I was here, I was exposed to a certain amount 177 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: of smoke, I have certain symptoms. I've got certain medical records. 178 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: You can't have a class action if everybody has their 179 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: own personal, extensive story to tell. If it's a very 180 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: quick claims process where okay, everybody is entitled to win 181 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 2: because they've demonstrated that the people who owned the building 182 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: drop the ball, that's fine, that's a good class action. 183 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: But if the case is overwhelmed by individualized issues, then 184 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: everybody's going to file their own suit, and that makes 185 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 2: it even more cumbersome. It'll drag out even more years. 186 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 6: Well. 187 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: Speaking with Royal Oaks, co host of the Too Many 188 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 3: Lawyers podcasts, which you can download or if you download 189 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 3: your favorite podcast.

In addition to being a Senator for the 195 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 3: state of South Carolina, he was also the leading gob 196 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: voice on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He was known for 197 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 3: having a very good working relationship with the Democrats, including 198 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: California's own Dianne Feinstein when she was the top Democrat 199 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 3: on the committee. And he's had the ability to get 200 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: President Trump's picks through that committee and confirmed and ultimately 201 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 3: put on the bench. He's had a very good track 202 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 3: record with that. He would also frequently break ranks and 203 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: vote for Democratic nominees when there was a Democrat in 204 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 3: the White House, including Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, who 205 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: had a lot of kind words about Senator Graham after 206 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 3: he passed away. Now that Graham is gone, he'll obviously 207 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 3: be replaced on that committee. Where do you see that 208 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: committee going without him there? Do you think we're going 209 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 3: to see a more combative Judiciary Committee without the likes 210 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: of Lindsey Graham and Dianne Feinstein. 211 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we are, And it's kind of a 212 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: scary prospect. As you say, Graham was an interesting character. 213 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: He was in the Senate for so long, you know, 214 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: a couple of decades plus that he knew everybody on 215 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: both sides. And even though he came across as a 216 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 2: real staunch advocate, a combative partisan kind of guy, a 217 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: lot of people who aren't big fans of Justice Kavanaugh 218 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: will remember how hard Lindsey Graham worked, and he led 219 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: the fight attacking the people who made accusations against Kavanaugh. 220 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: He also flip flopped on Trump's right to appoint certain 221 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: people to the court. But as you say, he was 222 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: only one of five Republican senators who voted for Kagan, 223 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 2: and his attitude was, look, elections have consequences. As a 224 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 2: Democrat president who wants Justice Kagan, I'm going to go 225 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: along with it because there's some huge reason not to 226 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: do it. So the bottom line is, I think it'll 227 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: be more content. We live in such a partisan polarized 228 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 2: era that you know, the Senate Judiciary Committee members are 229 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 2: immune to this, So it'll be too bad that Lindsey 230 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: Graham won't be there any longer as a moderating influence. 231 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 3: And on the Democratic side, before she passed away, the 232 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,359 Speaker 3: Democrats dumped Feinstein is their leading voice on that Committee 233 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 3: because they thought she wasn't combat of enough. They replaced 234 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: her with Dick Durbin, and then they thought that he 235 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: wasn't combat of enough. So they keep going through people 236 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: like it's George Steinbrenner. 237 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 6: That's George. 238 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 2: Well, that's right. And that's because politicians are big partisans. 239 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: I mean, that's been their whole life, is climbing the 240 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: ladder to get to this apex. I mean, there's nothing 241 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: higher than the United States Senate other than vice president 242 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: and president. And so that's the climate we have seen, 243 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 2: and I think it's now just going to get a 244 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: little worse because Lindsey Graham isn't involved. 245 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 3: We're speaking with Royal Oaks, co host of the Too 246 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: Many Lawyers podcast. Royal Ice, Immigration and Customs Enforcement will 247 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: apparently pause traffic stops for now. This is reported by 248 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: Fox News. US Senator Susan Collins, a Republican of Maine, 249 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 3: says that she was the one who negotiated that. 250 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 6: Change with Ice. 251 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 3: Is this a win win for Collins and Ice or 252 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 3: is this a sign that ICE is going to slow 253 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 3: down enforcement immigration enforcement? 254 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's helpful to Senator Collins, as you've reported. 255 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: You know, she's facing a tough problem getting re elected. 256 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 2: She's been there for a few decades. A lot of 257 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: the Manors, as they are called, are pretty liberal, and 258 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: they're not fond of the fact that even though she's 259 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 2: sort of talked like a moderate, like she's been seen 260 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 2: as along with Markowski and a few other centrist moderate Republicans, 261 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: they sometimes move against Trump. Nonetheless, a lot of people 262 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 2: in Maine think that she's just basically a handmaiden for 263 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: Donald Trump. So for her to be able to say, hey, look, 264 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: I know about the shootings. We've had deaths in Minnesota, 265 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 2: we've had in Houston, now we've had a death in Maine. 266 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: I want Ice to stand down and have some limits 267 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 2: on its traffic stop. So I think that's going to 268 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: help her in that race. At the same time, I 269 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: think Trump is trying to exploit the situation because, as 270 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: you know, after the Ice folks came out a few 271 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 2: days ago and suggested, well, we're going to be a 272 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: little calmer about the traffic stops. The next day Trump said, no, 273 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: this is a wonderful tool for us to go after 274 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: the bad guys. The weird thing, John, is that you know, 275 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: when people think about traffic stops, whether you're ICE or not. 276 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: You can't stop somebody just because you're an ICE. Guy 277 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: looks at the driver and says, well, he looks like 278 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: an illegal Mexican person. To me, I'm going to stop him. 279 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: That's an illegal stop. You have to have probable cause 280 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: to think there's something wrong. Do they have some kind 281 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: of contrabrand or drugs? Or is their license plate plate obscured? 282 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: Did they violate a traffic laws? So the weird thing is, 283 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: you know, the ICE personnel, they're not involved generally in 284 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: traffic enforcement like the sheriffs, the police, and the highway 285 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: patrol are. But they are entitled to stop people if 286 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: they have not a hunch based on a race, but 287 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 2: a rational reason to think there's something weird or illegal 288 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: going on with this car. And then when they stop them, 289 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: if they realize, oh, we have an undocumented alien here, 290 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: then they're entitled to take steps to process them through 291 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: the system. And Donald Trump's goal is to have a 292 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: very intimidating, scary environment. They want thousands of arrests every 293 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: day around the country to send a message, if you're 294 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: here illegally, self deport will give you a nice check. 295 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: Or if you don't, We're coming after you. 296 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 3: And when you go back to that main Senate race 297 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 3: for a moment, the Democratic candidate who won the primary, 298 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 3: who is no longer the nominee, Graham Platner, comes from 299 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 3: the left wing of the Democratic Party. 300 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 6: And you look at some of. 301 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 3: These people who are affiliated with the DSA who are 302 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 3: winning some of these Democratic primaries, and they don't want 303 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 3: Ice to throw the brakes on certain tactics. They do 304 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: not believe that I should exist. They do not believe 305 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: that the border should exist. They believe fully in open borders. 306 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: Well, that's right, And you know that's the dilemma of 307 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: the Democrats face right now, is you and Randy have 308 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: talked about a lot recently. I mean, with so many 309 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: people saying things like abolish for the police, and no 310 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: more borders and no more prisons. This is music to 311 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: the ears of people who are partial to the Democratic 312 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: Socialists of America. And a lot of Democrats are panicking saying, 313 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: you know, we had a really good chance. The out 314 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: of power party generally does really well in the midterms 315 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: in a president's second term. So we're going to clean up. 316 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: But if the nation that isn't really sympathetic to Democratic 317 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: Socialists of America. Since that this is the drift of 318 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party, then it may not be such a 319 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: happy day the first Tuesday in November for Democrats after all. 320 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 3: Royal OK's co host of the Too Many Lawyers podcast. 321 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: You can also read his column to Lawyers walk into 322 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: a Bar that's available at substack.

Her parents are dead, the siblings 543 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: are dead. Sharon had no kids, so there's no children 544 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 3: to go and argue on her behalf. But the court, 545 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 3: time and time again vote the parole board votes to 546 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: let the Manson family killers out, and deb has had 547 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: to spend her adult life not living her own life 548 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 3: doing her own thing.
