1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Yes, welcome everybody another chance, it's some money. In fifteen

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: minutes of final keyword of the day will be revealed,

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: along with the instructions read by John Cobelt as to

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: how you have a chance at that money. Standby for

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: five twenty. We will talk about this story coming up

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: in that next segment two. But apparently a bid to

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: recall embattled La City councilmember Kevin de Leone has been

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: officially launched this afternoon. Initial paperwork has been filed. We'll

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: bring you all that detail coming up, but we're going

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: to start this hour by talking to the Sheriff of

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: La County, Alex VI in Auava. He has startled people

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: today claiming that the California Attorney General Rob Banta is

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: going to ask a judge to order the in Auaves

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Department to destroy any remaining copies of items seized from

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: the Shila Kuel investigation. You remember that famous raid on

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Kuele's house and the charges, Well, the charges filed yet,

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: But the whole point of this is that Gill had

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: a best friend that she Higgins, that she directed hundreds

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars worth of county contracts too, so

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: that Higgins could set up this sex harassment hotline that

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: nobody ever used, and Higgins was able to keep the

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: money for her nonprofit, her non metro hotline and didn't

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: get a lot of calls. Yeah, so let's get sheriff

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: and a wave on good afternoon guys. All right, Dan,

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: explain this these are This is really a surprising accusation

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: you're making it. We don't make accusations without facts. In fact,

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: we were just taking a back when our attorney, who's

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: representing us pro bono because the county's thought fit that

29
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: we did not have an attorney representing us pro bono,

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: was in communication with one of the deputy attorney generals

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: basically one of a BANTA subordinates, who told him and

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: they got into an argument, said that I need you

33
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: to eliminate all documents in your possession that have not

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: been basically copy transfer everything to us, and you must

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: destroy everything including body warrant camera footage, which we thought

36
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: was illegal. And our attorney asked for this clarification in writing,

37
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: she provided it in writing via email, so there's no

38
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: mistake about what their intent was. So we knew the

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: case was going to be heard today in court and

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: we filed our motion in court with the attorney It

41
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: lays out exactly what was said, and I think late

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: last night early this morning. Then the age himself claimed

43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: that we never said that, but his own written communication

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: from his employees says the exact opposite. So maybe he

45
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: doesn't know what his subordinates are doing, or is just

46
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: a game they're playing. But the judge fortunately in court said,

47
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: we're not destroying anything, are we. So there's a lot

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: of back top and going out in the a's office. Well,

49
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: what would be the purpose of destroying evidence? That's here's

50
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: my fear. When the AG took over the entire case,

51
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: not just what we requested him too, it looks like

52
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: their goal is just to eliminate the investigation entirely. When

53
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: they intervened, they also stopped search warrants had already been

54
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: signed by a judge that were follow up to the

55
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: original search warrants. We're going after phone records and incriminating information,

56
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: and all of that came to a grinding halt. So

57
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: the Attorney General by intervening, it looks like now on

58
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: behalf of the board is actually assisting the board by

59
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: preventing from the investigation. Room taken from going forward. So

60
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of spoliation of evidence

61
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: going right now. A lot of things are being scrubbed

62
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: that we would have properly seized had they not intervened

63
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: in the first place. That is, in actuality, what's happening.

64
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: So the board is here with Bonta to protect Fule.

65
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: It seems to be exactly what's happening right now, which

66
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: is not what I was expecting from the Attorney General. Now,

67
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I thought your department was supposed to turn over all

68
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: the evidence to the DA, right to the State DA,

69
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: the State Attorney General. Yeah, they're supposed to provide this

70
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: evidence to determine where they're not to prosecute. But they

71
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: have not interviewed anybody, they have not contacted the original whistleblower.

72
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: It all seems all of their energy has been focused

73
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: on eliminating evidence and gathering themselves and sealing everything off,

74
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: not actually continuing an investigation that was active and ongoing. Yeah,

75
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: this searched, by the way, was September fourteenth, So here

76
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: we are swing up at the end of October and

77
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: they're doing anything. They're in a stall. They're gonna wait

78
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: to see what happens to you on election day. And

79
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: if you don't win, then this thing's gonna gonna disappear.

80
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Oh it's gonna Yeah, it's gonna be eighty six. You

81
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: know that. Now you know how purruption worts statewide? Yeah?

82
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: And if you do win, is there a way you

83
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: can reactivate this investigation or is Banta sealed you off?

84
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean you recused yourself originally, right, I'm recusing. I

85
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: ain't recused. However, his decision, if he decides to prosecute, well,

86
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: then good, he did the right thing. And they're going

87
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: to prosecute if the evidence supports it. If the evidence

88
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: doesn't support it, well, we want to see all of

89
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: the decision making. We want to see the evidence, and

90
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: we're going to compare to what we have and if

91
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: we think there's some some mouth seasons going on, and

92
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: then we're going to take this case to the federal government,

93
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: to the assisting US Attorney's office, and we're going to

94
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: ask them to then review the product of the Attorney general.

95
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: But if all the evidence gets destroyed, that would be

96
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: hard to do exactly. And that's why we were so alarmed,

97
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: and really we had ever even contemplate it. Because we

98
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: do investigations and we work with our federal counterparts all

99
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: the time. We share evidence. We never seek to destroy evidence. Well,

100
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: so what did this judge say today? I hope nobody's

101
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: destroying any evidence? Is that what you said? Yes? In

102
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: fact that the judge. You're left at this The judge says,

103
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: I saw the Shaff's Facebook the day before and actually

104
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: reviewed it a second time, and so he put the

105
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: AG's office on the hot seat right away. Yeah, something,

106
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: you put them on notice. They better nothing up to anything.

107
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this makes it sound like there is something

108
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: worth covering up that there there's damaging evidence against Kule

109
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to make this go away. Everybody currently

110
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: in power, they want to protect cule and make it

111
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: go away. It doesn't sound like it's a nothing case.

112
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: If they're going through the trouble of wanting to destroy evidence.

113
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: Right here, he who fears nothing or you know, there's

114
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: nothing to hide. They're going to show everything. But they're

115
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: doing everything in the opposite direction, right because if she's interesting,

116
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: why would you destroy the evidence? Yep, there you got it.

117
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: So we're concerned. But this fits a pattern. Look what

118
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: happened with Mark Riley Thomas. I mean, look at all

119
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: those revealed audiotapes about you know, the skullduggery that happens

120
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: behind closed doors, about people you know, with power and

121
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: access to so much money at the hands of the

122
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: board of supervisors. I mean, it's mind boggling. When you're

123
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: talking about billions of dollars in contracts to your friends

124
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: and your associates and your political allies. That's a lot

125
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: of influence. All right, Sheriff, thank you for coming on

126
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: with us. Yeah, we'll keep an eye on this story.

127
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: Sounds like it's getting crazy, you got it. Thank you, guys.

128
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: All right. That's Sheriff Alex Vieneueva, La County Sheriff, and

129
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: he held a little news event yesterday to tell members

130
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: of the media that apparently the Attorney General Rob Banta's

131
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: office wanted his office to destroy evidence connected with the

132
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: search of La County Supervisor Sheila Quell's home that was

133
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: conducted last month, but a judge today apparently put the

134
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: kaibosh on that. I mean, we're watching the corruption happen

135
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: in real time in front of her eyes, because there's

136
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: no reason to demand evidence be destroyed if Quel was innocent.

137
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: I just usually they do these things secretly, Yeah, blatant.

138
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: All right, coming up your chance at winning some bonus

00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars, John, is a lot of money you're

156
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: getting it me. I don't think so. No, Well, did

157
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: you notice, Eric, there's another one? I guess it's it's

158
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: it's eleven thousand, two hundred and ninety five dollars. It

159
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: must be a little different. Do you notice the difference?

160
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: Not yet. It's like playing that game. The palm trees

161
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: on the fifteen thousand dollar one are gold. Let's right,

162
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: their gold and the other one is silver. Oh yeah,

163
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: that's really funny. And John, you can get appended for

164
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: only twelve thousand, five hundred dollars and Denver can get

165
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: earrings for nine ninety five. Wow, Deborah Mark with earrings

166
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: super Bowl Championship earrings RAMS eeris Deborah Mark? Name one

167
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: RAMS player? I can't think of one player right now.

168
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: You don't qualify. And I was gonna buy them for you,

169
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: but forget it. That was gonna be my Christmas present.

170
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm no too late, No, no, no, it's only nine

171
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: five dollars for the championship earrings. And then you're walking

172
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: around La somebody rips them right off your ear and

173
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: steals them right the last half a block. Yeah, I'm

174
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: not gonna I would if I buy that ring. I

175
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: ain't walking down the street. They're gonna they're gonna take

176
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: your ears with it went off, my my bling. We

177
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: got word this afternoon that organizers, all right, maybe organizer

178
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: has launched a bid to recall Kevin de Leone from office.

179
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Kind of waiting for this to happen. But I say

180
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: that because it's a woman in Eagle Rock named Pauline Atkins.

181
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: It says she's the recall group's representative. She's the one

182
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: that initialed two previous attempts to recall Delion from office.

183
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: They had nothing to do with the leaked audio of

184
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: their racist conversation. I think it had to do with

185
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: the homeless. I remember I wanted ready to get her

186
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: on but she never showed up. And yeah, recall's family.

187
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: He called her today and hasn't gotten a response, and

188
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the LA Times has called her and they didn't get

189
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: a response. I heard her on a news station and

190
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: how do I put it, her speech was halting. It

191
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: was really a weird kind of person. I thought I

192
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: thought it was. But well, anybody, any any kook, any crackpot,

193
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: can file recall papers. It's fact. It says that right

194
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: here in the time, it's relatively easy to launch a

195
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: recall attempt in California. But actually triggering an election is

196
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: far more difficult. You have to submit a three hundred

197
00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: words statement signed by five voters who live within the district. Right.

198
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: Then she can't be alone. She's got to have four

199
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: other people and several other procedural steps have to be completed.

200
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: There's a certain timetable, so it's not that hard. No,

201
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: But here's what she has to do, or is she

202
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: and her cohorts. They have to get fifteen percent of

203
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: the total number of registered voters in Deleone's district, which

204
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: is District fourteen. That means twenty one thousand six valid signatures.

205
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: That just seems so low, doesn't it. I'm thinking of

206
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: the gascon recall. I realized that was county wide, but

207
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: still yeah, I'm trying to remember the bonden number. Do

208
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: you remember the bonding number? It was more than that.

209
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: I know it was valid signatures to recall bonding, right, don't.

210
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: I don't remember, But I do remember that that di

211
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: Leone got twenty five thousand votes, so they would have

212
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: to get twenty one thousand. That's uh, they'd have to

213
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: get at least twenty five thousand to account for the

214
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: reject the rejections, right, she practically would have to match

215
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: the number that he had vote for him. Right, It says,

216
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: I'll need a cushion of at least twenty percent. Of course,

217
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: the guests gone recall people did get a question of

218
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: twenty something. I think you got to get a bigger

219
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: cushion because the registrars corrupt. Although this should be the

220
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: City Clerk of LA. Yeah, I guess this goes through

221
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: the City Clerk office of LA and not because it's

222
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: a city election. I don't think it goes through the

223
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: county registrar. I just I want to see the anger

224
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: coming out of the district. I see the anger among

225
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: all these freelancers and the paid protester crowd. Where's the

226
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: anger in the district. I don't see those people speaking

227
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: out very much. In fact, the article points out that

228
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: a couple of people spoke up in favor of daily

229
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: On that live in his district. I think we played

230
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: a woman last week, remember that, and she was saying,

231
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: of all the great things he's done, you need your

232
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: own people to turn on you, like in in the

233
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: case of Mike Bonden, clearly a lot of residents who

234
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: voted for him turned on him. They were very angry

235
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: because he repeatedly abused them for many years by refusing

236
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: to do anything about all the homelessness and the crime

237
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: and all the suffering that people and their children, their

238
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: families were going through. He's especially cold and cruel. That's

239
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: why galls me to see him running around playing the victim.

240
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: But U and when he when he turns on the tears.

241
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what his mental story is. I don't

242
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: want his diagnosis is. But man, there there's some story there,

243
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: Philip book. It does. And it is interesting that they

244
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: mentioned that this woman, I Pauli Natkins, supposedly is the

245
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: main filer here. Her issues were with too much homeless

246
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: I think in the district. Well, that's why I'm wanted

247
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: to have run. But it says she might have to

248
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: she might have to team up with the loud just

249
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: critiques of de Leon, which have been the crazy activist

250
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: for the city's leftmost flank. Right, you need you need

251
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: that kind of energy, see the energy. Oh see, she

252
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: has been posting stuff from Trump twenty twenty, the Donald

253
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: Trump fan club. Okay, so that that is an unlikely match.

254
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: That isn't this all right? Well? Then I she could

255
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: just be a kuk just be a gad flight. The

256
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: thing is you need energy. You get that kind of

257
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: recall energy from somebody who personally feels wounded. Right, the

258
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: people on the West Side are offended because their lives

259
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: have been compromised by by Bonnen's policies. Here you have

260
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: de leone insulting black people, right, But if that's the charge,

261
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: if he's got a mostly Hispanic district, they're not going

262
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: to feel the insult. They're gonna say, oh, you shouldn't

263
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: have said that, or that was that was wrong, But

264
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: you didn't insult them. His voters weren't insulted. He insulted

265
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: somebody else's. You may have touched on why he's not

266
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: resigning because he feels like he can weather this even

267
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: if a recall is attim right, See, I mean if

268
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: he if he went after I mean, if if there

269
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: was I don't know the makeup of the district. I've

270
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: got the feeling that's largely Hispanic district. But if he

271
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: was in a district there were there was a large

272
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: contingent of black voters or any other group that he offended,

273
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: then you could see something getting going because they would

274
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: feel personally slighted, but I'm not sure most of his

275
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: district feels personally slighted by anything. He said. Yeah, most

276
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: of the people that have come forward to speak at

277
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: the city council meetings have never said I'm a Delhi

278
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: owned constituent and I think this is horrible. We have

279
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: to take one woman that apparently was as supportive what's

280
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: often overlooked. Holling is done and you'll see that, well,

281
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of people or against this, But do

282
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: they vote on it? And when it comes to a

283
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: candidates recall, is their energy to recall him? Not that

284
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: you'll say to a poster, Yeah, you know, I guess

285
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: you should be recalled. Sure i'd vote for that. No, really,

286
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: are you going to go out and get the signatures?

287
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: Are you going to be crazy active? Because there's a

288
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of work. I mean, I know that bonding recall

289
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: just exhausted the people behind. Oh, I know that was

290
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: a lot of work. It's difficult and you could see,

291
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: you know how how the gascon recall people. I mean

292
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: they worked hard too, and just fell short, and it's

293
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: very frustrating. It's a very cumbersome process on purpose. All right, Well,

294
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on it. We got more coming up,

295
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: John and Ken KF. I am six forty live everywhere

296
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: on the iHeart Radio app everywhere. You know. One of

297
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: the people that served in the Donald Trump administration that

298
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: I really thought it was pretty sane was the then

299
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: Attorney General William Barr to remember, yes, And I think

300
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: he was one of the ones that went in there

301
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: with the whole stole an election thing. And I think

302
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: try to tell Trump death because obviously he runs the

303
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: Department of Justice, and Trump, I think was looking for

304
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: a way to stop the results, truck through them out. Yeah,

305
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: Trump threw about So he wrote an opinion piece for

306
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal which is really worth a few

307
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: minutes because I think he summed up what we've been

308
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: trying to get across to the audience for some time

309
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: about the crazy criminal justice reform of California from the

310
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Attorney General all the way down to the La County

311
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: DA George Gascould. He says progressives can't solve the problems

312
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: because they won't abandon the practices that cause it. Rising

313
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: crime rates are a choice, and he said the violent

314
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: crime search is preventable. It was caused by progressive politicians

315
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: reverting to the same reckless, revolving door policies that during

316
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: the sixties and seventies produced the greatest tsunami of violent

317
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: crime in American history. We reversed at early a crime

318
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: way with all tough anti crime measures adopted during the

319
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: Reagan Bush era. We can stop this one as well.

320
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: Studies have shown that the most predatory crime is committed

321
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: by a small, hardcore group of habitual offenders, and John's

322
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: talked about this before. There are a tiny fracture of

323
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: the population I estimate roughly one percent, but they're responsible

324
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: for between half and two thirds of predatory violent crime.

325
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: Each of these offenders can be expected to commit scores,

326
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: even hundreds of crimes a year, frequently while on bail, probation,

327
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: or parole. The only time they are committing crimes is

328
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: when they're in prison. For this group, the likelihood of

329
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: reoffending usually doesn't recede until they reach their late thirties.

330
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: The only way to reduce violent crime appreciably is to

331
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: keep this cohort. It's like a Gavin Newsom word off

332
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: the streets, but which is what we've been saying. This

333
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: has been true for fifty years. This data is obvious,

334
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: and doesn't it make perfect sense? I mean, how many

335
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: criminals do you know? I don't know any Okay, obviously

336
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: they're they're one percent of the people that they're likely

337
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't They're a tiny percent of the population. But if

338
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: you look at them as as a profession, what do

339
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: you do every day? You go to work every day, right,

340
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: whatever you do, You manage a store, you do accounting,

341
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: whatever your line of work is, you do what every

342
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: This is their line of work. This is how they

343
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: make their money. Many of them work for an organization,

344
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: a company. They're a cog in the machine. They steal

345
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: the goods and they bring back the goods. Others are

346
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: just violent psychotics and they physically attack people, and they

347
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: can't control that because it's a compulsion. He writes. Before

348
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty, vine and crime in the US is modest

349
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: and stable. In the early sixties, liberal reformers pushed to

350
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: turn state justice systems into revolve doors. Violent offender is

351
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: quickly released on parolo probation. Predictedly, violent crime exploded, going

352
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: from one hundred and sixty crimes per one hundred thousand

353
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: population in nineteen sixty to seven hundred and fifty eight

354
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: per one hundred thousand and nineteen ninety one, So it's

355
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: thirty years of failure there, thirty years of failure. And

356
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: then in the nineteen nineties, and if you've been in

357
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: California long enough, we have policies were reversed. They started

358
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: throwing people in prison for long periods of time, especially

359
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: for repeat crimes. Crime rates went way down. Now we

360
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: let them out, crime rates go up. The thing is

361
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: everyone knows this. You are being brainwashed, gaslighted, lied too.

362
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't that the power and the purpose behind the three

363
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: strikes measure of nineteen ninety three. The idea is that

364
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: we have these really hardcore, predatory, violent criminals, that one

365
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: percent that William Barr mentioned, and we finally came up

366
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: with the way to lock him up for a long

367
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: long time this and we had what followed was a

368
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: pretty good period of lower violent crime rates. This is

369
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: a streak that's been part of America since the nineteen sixties.

370
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: It's become an indiology, it's become a racket, it's become

371
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: a way to raise money. It appeals to some people

372
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: who think that the government should be subverted and not

373
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: have power. It's people who are are offended by the

374
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: idea of police. It's a it's a it's a crowd

375
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: that's always going to be there, and they lie. Believe me,

376
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: if they're willing to support murderers, they're gonna lie about

377
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: the crime statistics. Guy like Gascone, he lies out his

378
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: rear end all day and night. It's a he's got

379
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: phony studies that he proclaims. You know what changed dramatically

380
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: is the news media join this cult and amplifies the

381
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Gascone message, amplifies the Black Lives Matter message, black lamplifies

382
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: all the anti police messaging. And so you hear this

383
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: constant beating in your head every day about prisons are

384
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: bad and and police are bad, inceration, lives are destroyed

385
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and loby loberty, you know. And we've got we've got

386
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: all kinds of professors and researchers at universities releasing nonsense

387
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: reports studying criminal justice. Use your common sense. You got

388
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: a rabid dog in your neighborhood, a wild dog. If

389
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: the dog is chained up and in a cage, he

390
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt anybody. If the dog is loose, everybody gets bitten.

391
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: That's all you need to know you got wild, crazy humans.

392
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Lock them up. They're not gonna hurt anybody. Let them go.

393
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna do this all day, every day because it's

394
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: what they do. It's either they're psychosis compelling them to

395
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: do so, or it's their business. He puts this well

396
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: to He says, well, progressives still complain, why are we

397
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: imprisoning record numbers when crimes receding. Well, he missed the point.

398
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: Crime was dropping precisely because we were keeping finally criminals,

399
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: something we've tried to explain on this show over and

400
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: over again with laws like three strikes and why we

401
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: had such a good run of low crime rates that

402
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: politicians like Garceti bragged about right for years. Their logic

403
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: is inverted, and I swear some of them are anarchists,

404
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: and they just want the chaos in America. They don't

405
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: like that we live relatively wealth were a relatively wealthy

406
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: country that lives in peace and enjoys our life, and

407
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: it bothers them. He also writes progressives have no solution,

408
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: as in the sixties, they call for more social spending

409
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: to address the root causes. Well, even if we knew

410
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: how to address the root causes, effectively, which we don't.

411
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: Implementing the solution would take decades. People are entitled to

412
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: protection now. Even the best designed social programs have no

413
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: chance of success in neighborhoods strangled by violence and fear.

414
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: Their law and order is a prerequisite for social progress.

415
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: I have never seen this mysterious social program that turned

416
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: young criminals into peaceful people. I've never seen it. It

417
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. They have spent probably trillions of dollars on

418
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: social welfare and social programs. The root cause is they're

419
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: bad people. You can't make a bad person good anymore

420
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: than you can make a good person bad, and that's

421
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: how you catch them. It's like, can you turn good

422
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: people into bad people? No, how would you do that? Well,

423
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: why are we talking about a small percentage of people,

424
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: As bar pointed out, they commit the worst of the crimes.

425
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: It's not like we're locking up the whole country. It

426
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: always gets exaggerated and twisted. Yes, and it's really frustrating

427
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: because we've known, we've known, going back before nineteen sixty.

428
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: We knew what worked. It always works. It's the only

429
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: thing that works. And eventually it gets bad enough where

430
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: people say, let's go back to the old way. I

431
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: think we're taking baby steps towards that. We have seen

432
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: this cycle. Just doing this show the last thirty years

433
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: out here in California, we've already seen this cycle go

434
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: a couple of times. Every generation has to learn the

435
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: lesson over again. Yeah. When we got here, oh my god,

436
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: gang crime homicides were horrible. It was in the early nineties,

437
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: and three strikes helped reverse that. It lasted a while,

438
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: and then we got Jerry Brown who wants to wanted

439
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: to shift it back, and it's being carried on by

440
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: the rest of this crowd in charge now. Like Newsom

441
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: and Gascone, Brown screwed up the state twice over. Yes,

442
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: you're right. He was here in a cycle before us. Yeah,

443
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: he was on the seventies and eighties, and then he

444
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: was here, you know, in the twenty tens. And he

445
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: is one of the most destructive governors in California history.

446
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: And he never gets analyzed properly historically as how bad

447
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: and destructive he is. All Right, we got more coming up,

448
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: John and Ken kf I am six forty live everywhere

449

455
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: talked about in a while on this show the Pope.

456
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: This is my favorite story. Pope Francis made a speech

457
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: this week, and you might be surprised at the subject porn.

458
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: And during this speech he even went after priests and

459
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: nuns who are watching porn? Two? What kind of porn

460
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: do you think a nun watches? What's on there? We

461
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: said that they're watching the vice of porn and the

462
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: devil enters from there and weakens the soul. What now

463
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: we know what kind of poor in the priests you're watching? Yeah,

464
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: I left that out. Puss pus Men in general are

465
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: more inclined to porn, yea, whether their gay men or

466
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: straight men, they're more inclined. Sure, I'm sorry. There's so

467
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: many different actual orientations. I would imagine that the subjects

468
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: would be on the younger side these subjects. He said

469
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: that the nuns, though women in general, watch less porn.

470
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: That's got to be true. Don't. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, Um,

471
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not gonna say I've seen research, but

472
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: I just believe the way it's marketed. I don't think.

473
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's it's exclusively true. I think they're

474
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: exclusively some some women are into it, right and if

475
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: you can find one of those, um so, he said.

476
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: Priests and nuns also have the vice of porn on

477
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: the web. Beware the devil enters from there and weakens

478
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: the soul. If you have them on your mobile phone,

479
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: delete them. He was speaking to hundreds of seminarians. They're

480
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: going to He asked them to delete the pornographic content

481
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: on their phones. They've already taken a vow to be celibate,

482
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: and now they can't even look well, boy, oh boy,

483
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: and you'll wonder why they act out the way they do.

484
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: This is not a this is unnatural. Uh And he said,

485
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: and he even said to distinguish this, I'm not talking

486
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: about criminal pornographies, such as child abuse, that's already degeneracy.

487
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about normal pornography. Notice he granted that there's

488
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: child pornography being viewed. That's not even up for debate.

489
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: He knows that that's going on. Yeah, to have a

490
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: pure or heart, you cannot receive this pornographic information. Is

491
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: that how he put it? This is like the interpretation

492
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: of his speech. Yeah, that's that's that's what they're worried

493
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: about late at night. Huh. If you can delete this

494
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: from your mobile phone deleted. Excuse me if I go

495
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: into these details about pornography. But there is a reality,

496
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: a reality that touches presemminarians, nuns, consecrated souls. Have you

497
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: understood all right? This is important? Wow. Some seminarian asked

498
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: him how the digital and social media world should be

499
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: dealt with, and the Pope admitted, while he doesn't use

500
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: it himself, the technology is a service to be able

501
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: to progress in life. So he's supportive of tech. But

502
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: obviously tech has brought us all sorts of ways to

503
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: access pornography on instant pornography right, including the ugly dark web.

504
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: You'd have to you know, you'd have to work a

505
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: little to find pornography. Years ago, he said, I don't

506
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: use them because I come late. You know. When I

507
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: was ordained a bishop thirty years ago, they gave me

508
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: one as a present, a mobile phone, which was like

509
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: I shoe about this big. I said, no, I can't

510
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: use this one. And finally I said, all right, I'll

511
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: make a call. I called my sister. I said allow.

512
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: Then I gave it back. Give me something else. That's

513
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: his way of admitting that he was not too connected

514
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: to any kind of technology even thirty years ago. He says,

515
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't use it because my psychology was offer I

516
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: was lazy. I don't know. That's a strange way to

517
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: put it. But again, this is an interpretation. So yeah.

518
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: But but for him to bring up the porn issue

519
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: with about the priests and the nuns means he knows

520
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: what's going on, like he's gotten information. Yeah, the Vatican

521
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: has put out papers on porn before, saying it desensitizes people. Right, right,

522
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: But but he's he never addressed his own his own

523
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: flock there, you know. And the nun question, I don't

524
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: have an answer to. Ah. Really, I wouldn't have the

525
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: slightest idea. Maybe Conway knows the Pope told nuns not

526
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: to watch porn. What kind of porn do you think

527
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: of nune watches? Is that right? I probably shouldn't ask

528
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: you none? Nah? Good one man? Where is this wild church?

529
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: The Catholic church. Yes, that Hope was speaking to seminarians school.

530
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: As a kid, I got kicked out of Catholic school

531
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: as a kid, right, yeah, for what? Well, all my

532
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: friends went to public school, and I want to go

533
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: to public school. And my dad said, now your mom

534
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: wants to go to Catholic school. He said, but if

535
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: you get kicked out of Catholic school, I have to

536
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: put you in public school. Oh yeah, you found a route.

537
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: Next day, the none, I raised my hands because I'm

538
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: not taking in questions. I got a quick one. I go,

539
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: where does a guy take a blank around here? And wow? Ski?

540
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: And he was six? Oh man, All that was in

541
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: third grade. So you know, however seven or eight or

542
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: something that and that was a rap. That was a

543
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: wrap the devil. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't want any part

544
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: of that. Um. But we got a guy named Paul

545
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: Friedman coming on today. You asked a question at the

546
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: age of eight, Well, I didn't know how else to

547
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: get kicked out. You know, I knew that would do it.

548
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: Though I do that that would launch me and my

549
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: parents had to come pick me up. They wouldn't even

550
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: let me finish the day. That was lucky. He didn't

551
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: get it was eating It was Anne. Yeah, and she

552
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: had a stick and she couldn't believe it. Is it

553
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: our Lady of Grace. I'm White Oak inventor. True story, Yeah,

554
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: true story, no joke. Exactly where that church is? Yeah,

555
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: I like I like when Bill, when Joe Biden does that.

556
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm not not a joke joke, Yeah, like I had

00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: three mortgage companies advertising, is that right? Wow? And they

588
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,360

00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: upright biped you could get a home loan. And then

591
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,000

593
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: to anybody, but they also slapped a helock on it.

594
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,319

00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: And then two years later, all those BMW's went back.
