Speaker 2: the news next this week, next hour, we're gonna be

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: talking to the mayor of Beverly Hills. Those tabloid reports

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: did you and I were talking about the other day

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: of the New York Post the Daily Mail making it

15
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: look like Beverly Hills is done, that a lot of

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: stores have closed the big shopping area, but Dale Drive

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: everything's gone. It looked like from the reports pictures of

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: some shuttered stores that had been boarded up, and the

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: implication is it's all smashing crab. Well, he's gonna tell

20
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: us a different story.

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: I believe. Yes, the mayor says the story was wrong,

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: the photos were deceptive. There's a lot of information omitted

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: from the story.

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: And I hope so because they're kind of like the

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: last area of Socow we're holding on to as an

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: example of how we don't have to go in the

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: direction of Los Angeles.

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: They do something about the homeless.

29
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: Remember what they did during the big protests of twenty

30
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: twenty when the people were marching that they gave them

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: like a curfew and then sent them back and said, no,

32
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: you're not going to march and smash windows in our city.

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: They're gonna do that. Oh I have heard. We weren't

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: here then. But during the Rodney King riots a long

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: time ago, Beverly Hills had like a military line that

36
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: nobody would cross. Right, they're like their own nation. Yet

37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: I think they have a secret military and there's like

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: an underground bunker and they have their own army that

39
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: comes up and just pouring out of the ground with

40
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: heavy weapons, right to protect a perimeter. The tanks come

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: out of the ground.

42
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you know it wasn't too long ago

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: when mayor we call her Mayor Karen Bascone. Now, right,

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: yes for bass and gascone combined. Bessetti is another name

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: for her. It wasn't too long ago when she said,

46
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: not too far into the future, the number one choice

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: for people when they have to go somewhere will be

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: mass transit metro.

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: Remember that, Yes, I do. She says that that is

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: the future she envisions. Well, you know, and I got

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: very excited hearing that, knowing that one day we will

52
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: all get out of our carbon polluting automobiles and we'd

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: all be boarding these fast sleep trains, electrified trains, electrified trains,

54
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: zero emissions. And as soon as she said that, people

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: just started getting stabbed left and right. Well the only time,

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: the only time they stopped the train now at a

57
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 1: platform is to dump a dead body out of it.

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: Way.

59
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of cold.

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: My favorite, though, is still remember the Long Beach train

61
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: that had to be cleaned up because somebody vomited all

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: over the place.

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, rug addicts.

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's get the story from Blake Trolley

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: about the latest stabbing death on a metro train.

66
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Wait are you there all.

67
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: Right, guys? Yeah, well this one was at the Pershing

68
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 4: Square station in downtown LA. Now, there's not a whole

69
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: lot of information yet released on the stabbing from the LAPD,

70
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 4: but what we're told is that an argument broke out

71
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: yesterday on the platform between two guys. One of the

72
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: guys pulled out a knife stabbed the other guy. Police

73
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: say the killer was last scene taking the stairs up

74
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: from the platform to leave, so presumably he ended up

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: somewhere in downtown and just taking off. I mean Pershing Squares,

76
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: you guys know, is right in the heart of downtown.

77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: The stabbing last night again appears to have stemmed from

78
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: some sort of argument. That's a theme we've seen on

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: these trains. The investigation and crime scene really left commuters

80
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 4: and a pickle at five pm yesterday they were unable

81
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: to get off at the Pershing Square station. I talked

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: to people who said they had to go other stations

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: like Union Station. And again, this stabbing comes as last

84
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: month to fight on a metro train in Hawthorne led

85
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: to one man being shot and the other being stabbed.

86
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: The guy who was stabbed was killed. Last week in

87
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: Highland Park there was a stabbing on the L Line,

88
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: a guy who was stabbed in the back and neck,

89
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 4: and to this same theme, an argument led to the stabbing,

90
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: the attacker took off and the guy stabbed walked out

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 4: and collapsed on the platform. In Highland Park, as you

92
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: guys know, is a really quaint, cool little neighborhood. A

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 4: lot of nice little restaurants and things like that in

94
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: the area. I spoke to some writers who say the

95
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: stabbing had them worried, we'll go to buy one. This

96
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: guy had a different two.

97
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 5: Ain't nothing.

98
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: What goes on? And I spoke he was brief.

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 4: He was briefed, you know, he was Actually. The thing

100
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: about interviewing people guys that are getting on and off

101
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: a train is it's a lot of walking and talking

102
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: right for me, because they got somewhere to be the go,

103
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: including that guy. But I spoke to another woman who

104
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 4: rides the train. She says, it's time for more security,

105
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: and she actually detailed something else that happened at the

106
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 4: same platform just before the stabbing. If we can go

107
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 4: straight to buy two.

108
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 6: Just yesterday before the stubbing, before my friends said that

109
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 6: there was a stubbing, there was this two guy was

110
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 6: playing and they were hitting each other and they hit

111
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 6: another guy and this guy that they're playing, they were

112
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: but at the start you wouldn't see that they're playing.

113
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Because they were really beating each other up.

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 6: They are beating each other up, kind of like really

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 6: really you know, hitting a punching, giving punch each other.

116
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 6: But when they went near a guy, they punched him too.

117
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: One of the guys hit the other guy.

118
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: So they intentionally just punched another guy.

119
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, they did, and then that guy fought back. He

120
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 6: fights him back, and then it stopped the other guy

121
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 6: from hitting him and then they left.

122
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: So you hear that they're play fighting and they just

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: punched some random guy and then you know, he squares

124
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: up to go.

125
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 7: Uh.

126
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 4: You know, guys, I was out the platform today and

127
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 4: I noticeably noted, you know, I saw there were just

128
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 4: so many homeless people, some strung out. I spoke to

129
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 4: a couple LAPD officers who are upstairs from the platform, unrelated.

130
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: They were just there and they said they told me,

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: you know, they didn't want to be recorded, but they

132
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: said that the drug dealing in that Pershing Square area

133
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 4: is all day and it's Matt Sentinel heroin everything. They

134
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: said they're there for, you know, in a different assignment,

135
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: but that's what they're they're seeing to play out in

136
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: front of them.

137
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: How many times did these boobs on the Metro board

138
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: or Karen Bass announced to the world that they've got

139
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: a new plan, that they got more patrol there's gonna

140
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: be there're gonna be patrols on the platforms and the trains.

141
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: We're going to clean all this up. We're gonna make

142
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: it world class safe. Everyone's going to make it their

143
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: first choice. They've announced that several times this year.

144
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: Well, John, Well, just a couple of things to what

145
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 4: you're asking there earlier today. If there was a security

146
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: guard present when this fight broke out. I also asked

147
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: for a total count of a Metro security personnel on

148
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: the entire system during this and my answer was, as

149
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: part of Metro's efforts.

150
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: This is by a.

151
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 4: Metro spokesperson, as part of Metro's efforts to provide security

152
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: on the system, the agency does not provide information about

153
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 4: how many law enforcement and security officers are on the

154
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: system and where they are located. So I didn't really

155
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: get to the.

156
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Bottom of those nags because they were lying about all

157
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: the extra patrols they were going to do. Obviously, it's

158
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: amazing how nobody's around when these bodies are come tumbling

159
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: out of the train cars. What about the ambassadors? Oh

160
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: the ambassador was.

161
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: That was in my inquiry guys. And again because they

162
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 4: don't want to jeopardize I guess their system whatever they

163
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: just said, Why.

164
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Is that is the biggest waste of time in money.

165
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to give the enemy the information about

166
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: where they are, all.

167
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, because if they know where the ambassadors are.

168
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: They'll go somewhere else and stab people. All right, Blake,

169
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: thank you very much for that report.

170
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: Good work.

171
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: Ah, thanks guys.

172
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: All right, Blake Trolly Cafi says here this is the

173
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: fourth fatal incident on a Metro train or bus or

174
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: platform in twenty twenty three. So, Karen bescone, not likely

175
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to get on any of the Metro trains

176
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: anytime soon. No, no, not good. What are they gonna

177
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: do when the Olympics comes?

178
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: This is the last hope for Los Angeles that they

179
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: decide to avoid an international embarrassment.

180
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: They still got five years, John, five years to clean

181
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: this up, all right, when we come back. Remember the

182
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: fat guy that tried to rob the jewelry store at

183
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: Helmunty and he got beat up by the staff at

184
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: the store and he ran off.

185
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Well, we know who he is now and how much

186
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: he ways.

187
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: We got his way too, as he is hefty. Johnny

189
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 8: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

190
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 8: AM six forty.

191
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: It's a second time at about a month that people

192
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: are fighting back. Happened at a jewelry store in al Monty.

193
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: A guy came down the street dressed in all black.

194
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: He had a face mask and a cardboard box in

195
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: his hand, and then well he spraked bar repount in

196
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: the face of a guy sitting outside the store.

197
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: He turns out that guy's one of the store owners.

198
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: He goes inside and he tries to rob the place,

199
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: and they fought back. A brother, a niece, a nephew

200
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: all came and started to attack the intruder, beat him

201
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: with a stick. Eventually his whole shirt comes off and

202
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: he runs out with nothing. Here is an update from

203
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: KTLA channel five. Because we now know who this blob.

204
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 9: Is, police now have identified a suspect wanted for this

205
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 9: attempted smash and grab jewelry store robbery. Family members fought

206
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 9: back and they stop the thief. Authorities say This man,

207
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 9: thirty six year old Joshua Lee Simmons, is the man

208
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 9: who tried to rob Mesa Jewelry and al Monte. That

209
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 9: was Saturday afternoon. They say Simmons was driving the gray

210
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 9: Dodge Charger. G You just saw first he's sprayed a

211
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 9: seventy year old man that was sitting out front with

212
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 9: bear repellent, then smashed a display case inside. The family

213
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 9: who owns the store was able to fight off. That

214
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 9: would be Robert. They hit and kicked him and forced

215
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 9: him to run down Main Street, shirtless and empty handed.

216
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: They apparently have his license plate number two. I mean,

217
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: how long before they have to take this guy into custody?

218
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: And as you like to say, John, what's his criminal record?

219
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Please? Well thirty slus years old. Yeah, he's been probably

220
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: doing this since he was a teenager. And he's eating

221
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: really well. For you the pounds. You should see the

222
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: blubber on this guy. Yeah, and it's all in his gut.

223
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: It is not well distributed.

224
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: And because he lost his shirt in his tap week away,

225
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: we got to see it.

226
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: We got to see all his blubbers head out. So

227
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: this is what bothers me. It's not just like the

228
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: sixteen year old gang members doing this right now, there's

229
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: guys who are who are one hundred and twenty pounds over,

230
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: they're in their mid thirties, and they're gonna jump in

231
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: because they see how easy it is, you know, to

232
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: bash a few display cases or you know, the front

233
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: the front windows, grab what you want. It doesn't matter

234
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: if you're on video. This is what's really fascinating. Everybody

235
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: thought if you had video cameras all over the place,

236
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: it would it would repel crime. And it doesn't. They

237
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: don't care if they're on video that you know, you've

238
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: got cameras in the streets, you've got cameras in the stores,

239
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter because there's at the end of it,

240
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: there's no penalty.

241
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Now we take you to Minnesota, and this is a

242
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: great story. There's a woman that was part of something

243
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: called the Democratic Farmer Labor Party. She vowed three years

244
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: ago to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. She put out

245
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: all sorts of screeds and messages that the police department

246
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: is just cruel to the community and needs to be dismantled.

247
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: Her name is Chivanti Satharendan. She's second vice chairman for

248
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: this Democrat Farmer Labor Party. Well, she's singing a different tune,

249
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: and why is that usually the case?

250
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: She got attacked. She was beaten and bloodied in a

251
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: carjacking outside her home this week. Listen. She shared news

252
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: of the attack on a Facebook post. She's got a

253
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: broken leg, deep lacerations on her head, bruising cuts all

254
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: over her body, and she writes, I have rage.

255
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: The beating herd in front of her four year old

256
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: daughter and seven year old son, she said.

257
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: And she's got a picture that she posted of herself,

258
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: the blood part out of her forehead, splattered all over

259
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: the front of her face, her neck, and I'm looking

260
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: at this and it's she, by the way, the Democratic

261
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: Farmer Labor Party. That is the Democratic Party there. They

262
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: just have an old fashioned name, knows how writes from decade. Yeah,

263
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: it's from a merger from decades ago, but it is

264
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. And she was full blown defund the police.

265
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: There was no nuance in her arguments. Nothing.

266
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: It's like defund the police, buriod. Here's what she posted

267
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. Minneapolis police department has systematically failed the

268
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: black community.

269
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: They failed all of us.

270
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: It's time to build a new infrastructure that works for

271
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: all our communities. If you're still disagreeing with that basic fact,

272
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what.

273
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: To say to you. That was her post in twenty twenty.

274
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: Now she has thanked.

275
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: The incredible Minneapolis PD for assisting her in this terrifying experience.

276
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: There you go, another one who learns. But it takes

277
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 2: them to be the victim of a crime for them

278
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: to understand why we need the police and even more

279
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: of them these days.

280
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Listen to this pair of posts from this nutjob. Minneapolis

281
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: Police Department should have no place in our children's schools

282
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: because the school board had voted to terminate its contract. Now,

283
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: she says, these men knew what they were doing. I

284
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: have no doubt they have done this before. Yet they

285
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: are still on our streets, killing mothers, giving baby's psychological

286
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: trauma that a lifetime of therapy cannot ease with no

287
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: hesitation and no remorse. Well, yeah, that's why the police

288
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: have to arrest these guys to begin with, and they

289
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: have to be put away in prison for a long

290
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: time because they have no hesitation and no remorse. They

291
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: are wired to commit crimes. They're psychopaths. They have no conscience.

292
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't bother them. They don't care if they smash

293
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: your face in in front of your kids. They're not

294
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: thinking about it on the way home.

295
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: This crowd wants to dismantle the police and send in

296
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: what mental health workers to talk to these young people

297
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: and maybe get them to understand that what they're doing

298
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: is wrong.

299
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Now, she says, I.

300
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: Want to hold I want to take them into custody

301
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: and prosecute them all. There's too many young people are

302
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: running wild and creating chaos across our city.

303
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Is this what it takes? That's why you need sometimes

304
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: it does. That's they actually these politicians have to be

305
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: whacked in the head by a criminal and then they go, ah,

306
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: now where's the poete? That's right? What a stupid era

307
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: we just lived through. Do you realize how stupid it was?

308
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming out.

309
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna go to the newsom for president through

310
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: maybe for president through not for president desk.

311
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: He's done a big interview and we have an excerpt

312
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:17,800

00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 8: AM six forty.

316
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: Are you considering running for president.

317
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: In twenty twelve, four, twenty twenty eight? Not even consider

318
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: at all.

319
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: This election is a choice about life and death.

320
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: We didn't defeat trump Ism.

321
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: This is the most consequential election. They choose that as

322
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: they self fear around crime, they self come around these

323
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: perverse gun laws. What we've got right now is not

324
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: working and it's about to break. Look at the sewage

325
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: that is online that they amplify on these networks and

326
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: in social media to dehumanize people. This whole damn border

327
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 3: debate is made up. That's how extreme the Republican Party

328
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: is in the United States of America. It's time to

329
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: organize guys bottom up, not just top down. Publicans have

330
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: been organizing bottom up forever. Where the hell are we

331
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: as a party to capture the narrative. I honestly, if

332
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: I were offering political advice, I'd tell him to pack

333
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: up and wait a few years.

334
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: I never trust politicians, so I get why we keep asking.

335
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 5: So when I see you in Iowa twenty twenty three,

336
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: I will.

337
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: Play this for you the answers South Carolina. I'm gonna

338
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: where with us.

339
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 5: I know John and can present the Gavin Newsom is

340
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: running for president, desk, Gavin Newsom maybe sort of running

341
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 5: for president. Well maybe Gavin Newsom not running for president desk.

342
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: You know, you listen to that those clips in there again,

343
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: and of course we'll be talking about this next hour.

344
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: The border crisis is made up, good one, Gaven is

345
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: some holding. We're starting to find out through polling it's

346
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: not made up and it's gonna be a big problem

347
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: for Joe Biden.

348
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Will hear more about that? No, especially when you have

349
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands now cramming in the big cities. Yeah,

350
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: a lot of his stuff is not going to play well.

351
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: So I mean, when you have the mayors of New

352
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: York and Chicago screaming bloody murder over.

353
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: You're sticking migrants at O'Hare Airport, now, yeah, it's going

354
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: to have to go to the air up the airport

355
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: outside of Chicago and to put some of the migrants

356
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: because he says.

357
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: Too many to handle.

358
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: No wonder the Biden administration is saying, all right, we're

359
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 2: gonna have to stay in Texas because he's getting screened

360
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: out by these Democratic mayors that they stop letting Texas

361
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: send them to us. Do something and your answer is

362
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna make the migrants stay in Texas. That's what

363
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: we'll be talking about. Because there's a response now from

364
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: the Texas governor.

365
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: You gotta hear that's not gonna happen anyway.

366
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: Let's he sends the troops to Texas borders to make

367
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: sure buses leave the state.

368
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway.

369
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: The reason we're at the Gaven Newsom President crap desk

370
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: is well, you know, it's really sad, John. This is

371
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: the end of Chuck Todd as the host to Meet

372
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: the Press this weekend. He's done.

373
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, I don't don't think I what a legacy.

374
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever watched a show that he hosted.

375
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: He's a shill.

376
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a liberal, progressive shill for all the

377
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: years he's been there.

378
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: I never watched those shows. I can't remember the last time.

379
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: I well Tim Russert, people like Tim Rusher, remember Tim

380
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: rushert Yeah, good reputation.

381
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: He's been dead for He's been dead for a long

382
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: time now.

383
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: Well that's what I mean, since Tim Russell died and

384
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: somebody else has been hosting Meet the Press most of it.

385
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: Chuck Dodd it's been an abomination.

386
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 2: So I'm just trying to go back in the good

387
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 2: old days when there was actually objective people in the media.

388
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: So this is a Chuck Todd one of his last

389
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: interviews on Meet the Press is with Gavin Newsom, and

390
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: the clip we're going to play is a preview. Now

391
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: they're not going to run this, of course until the

392
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: weekend Sunday usually, but they did release this clip because

393
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: Chuck Todd is chasing Afternowsome over him running for president

394
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four.

395
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 7: Here we go fining, deadlines haven't passed. President Biden doesn't run,

396
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 7: Why shouldn't we consider you a likely?

397
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: I think the Vice president is naturally one lined up

398
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: and the finally deadlines are quickly coming to pass, And

399
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: I think we need to move past this notion that

400
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 3: he's not going to run. President Biden is going to

401
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: run and looking forward to getting re elected. I think

402
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: there's been so much wallowing in the last few months

403
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 3: and hammeringing disrespect. But we're geary enough for the campaign.

404
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: We're looking forward to it.

405
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: I know, but you hear these calls private, you're lying.

406
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: We tell these donors who are wallowing, time to move on.

407
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: Let's go.

408
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 7: And am I supposed to interpret that comment about the

409
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 7: vice president that if for some reason the president chose

410
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 7: not to run at this point, that's the nextbody rallies

411
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 7: around her.

412
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: It's the Biden Harris administration. Maybe I'm over fashioned, Maybe

413
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: there's a little Maybe I'm a little old fashion about

414
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: well president's and vice I was a lieutenant governor, so

415
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: I'm a little subjective.

416
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 7: To your relationship with the Vice president.

417
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 3: We knew each other before we were both in politics,

418
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 3: and I got sworn in as mayor, walked across the street,

419
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: so you got sworn.

420
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: In his district attorney.

421
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 3: Extraordinarily close working relationship, including your time in the Senate.

422
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 7: You can't imagine ever hearing a run against each other.

423
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 3: Of course, not by definition won't happen, But I've said

424
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: that a thousand times. We privately continue to maintain a

425
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: very good relationship, interpersonal.

426
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: Just how you're doing check it in.

427
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: It's been a challenging few years with covid UH and

428
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: the opportunity to sit down, have lunch together in the

429
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: White House, spend time talking about.

430
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 7: Important so nobody's She's not upset that you're going to

431
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 7: debate Ronda Santis.

432
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: Maybe apparently someone in her office is because I read

433
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: some off the record quotes. I wish I knew that

434
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: was but I need to hear it from her so

435
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: and I certainly not hear it from the White House itself.

436
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: There you go, usually full of it. But he's full

437
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, he he knows. See, he's not as

438
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: stupid as he pretends to be. He knows Biden is senile.

439
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: He knows is a good chance he's not making it.

440
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: And he knows that Kamala Harris is an airhead. If

441
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: he's as close to her as she as he claims,

442
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: then he knows there's nothing inside that skull. And what

443
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna do is play the good soldier, so he

444
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: could never be accused of trying to upend their positions

445
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: in the party. Right, it's gonna play the good guy.

446
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: It's like, oh no, no, Joe's gonna Joe's gonna run

447
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: and he's gonna thrive. Right, Yeah, he's gonna be eighty

448
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: six by the end of the term. Now, Bill, everybody

449
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: knows that's not possible. You know, he's already suffered a

450
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: lot of degeneration, and the degeneration is going to continue,

451
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: it's not going backwards. And everybody knows that she's an

452
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: empty can and she's not gonna change. So he's waiting

453
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: for life to play out, and then he's gonna say,

454
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: oh my god, that know, unforeseen, unusual circumstances. People are

455
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: begging me. But he's a position. He's got everything in position.

456
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: The unbiased and of course totally objective. CNN just released

457
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 2: the poll, and this poll is and they call it

458
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 2: that Biden is facing continued headwinds from broadly negative job ratings. Overall,

459
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: there is no clear winner in the potential rematch between

460
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: Biden and Trump, but nearly half of registered voters forty

461
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: six percent, say any Republican presidential nomine would be a

462
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: better choice than Biden next year, any of them, and

463
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: Biden runs behind South Carolina Governor Nikki Hayley when they

464
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: match them up.

465
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: That's what anyone means, That's what it means. Anybody would

466
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: be better.

467
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: Because right, but it's because she doesn't have the drag

468
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: that Trump does, so they all do a little better

469
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: than But it's this crowd that the voters that hates

470
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Trump's so much.

471
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: That's the only reason they're going to be driven to

472
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: the poll. You're right.

473
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: You put anybody else up there but Trump, and there

474
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 2: might be people that would not vote Republican who might

475
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: because they looked at Biden's too old and too feeble.

476
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: The Trump people hate the Republican Party as much as

477
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. That's the complication here, right, because ordinarily

478
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 1: it's obvious Biden is barely alive. He's easily beatable. If

479
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: you put someone up there with you two thirds of

480
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: Trump's policies, but they're they're sane, and they're clear headed,

481
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: they'd win big. You know, there's probably a half a

482
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: dozen Republicans right now who would win over Biden, but

483
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: the Trump crowd doesn't want them because they're Republicans. I

484
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: always tell people this. They always lump Trump with Republicans.

485
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: He's not a Republican. His followers are barely Republican anymore.

486
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: He's his own party. He's his own party. He's got

487
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: to cult the personality, and they're following him because obviously

488
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: Biden's easily beatable if you have a normal candidate. The

489
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: only candidate that could lose to Biden is Trump because

490
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: he's got to go through four trials and ninety one

491
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: felony charges, and he might lose the middle ground, the

492
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: independent voters. And this is what frustrates me about people

493
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: I get hating the Republican Party. I do too, But

494
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: if you want to stop Biden and all the nonsense

495
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: that he's done in the last four years, you got

496
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: to beat him with somebody who can win.

497
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: Sixty seven percent of Democrat leaning voters or Democratic voters

498
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 2: wants somebody other than Bidens the nominee.

499
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: That's up from fifty four percent in March.

500
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: As every month goes by, he gets older and more

501
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: feeble to people. But I don't see any big turnover

502
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: coming here before next summer when they do the nomination

503
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: because Chris Biden himself steps aside.

504
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: You need another candidate, a real candidate, and everybody's afraid

505
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: to run. Nobody has any courage to say, hey, you

506
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: know what, this guy is senile because what happened in

507
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Carter years that Ted Kennedy actually ran a

508
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: really credible campaign against Jimmy Carter almost pull it off

509
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: because he thought Carter stunk and he could do better.

510
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: And he was right, because Reagan whip Carter the next year.

511
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: That's right later that year. Yeah. And by the way,

512
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: if you wonder why people are upset, the all you

513
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: have talk is inflation. And you hear the inflation rates

514
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: three or four percent, right, and it's coming down. That

515
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: inflation rate doesn't cover what people are buying every day

516
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: in the grocery store. Listen to this. This was in

517
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: a New York Times piece. A dozen eggs, the price

518
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: is up thirty eight percent in the last year and

519
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: a half. White bread is up twenty five percent, chicken

520
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: up eighteen percent, Gasoline up sixty three percent in two

521
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: and a half years. Those are the prices that people

522
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: care about, not these complicated government formulas to tell you, oh, actually,

523
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: the core price index there's only a three point eight percent. No,

524
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: you buy eggs, it's up thirty eight percent. You buy

525
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: brad it's twenty five percent, checking eighteen and gas sixty

526
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: three percent. That's what real people are dealing with. But

527
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: the government lies about what the inflation number is, or

528
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: they make it complicated that nobody can follow. All right,

529
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: we got to take a break.

Speaker 1: Julian Gold will be our guest.

540
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: He has a response to those tabloid reports that Beverly

541
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: Hills is going down. The retail area of Beverly Hills,

542
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: high end stores are closing, there's all sorts of shuttered buildings.

543
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that with him because he says it

544
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: is a misimpression being driven by the tabloid And I

545
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 2: did notice in one of the stories things of the

546
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 2: New York Post, they were conflating Beverly Hills with la Again,

547
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: don't do that. They are completely different in the way

548
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: they're run, and we know that from long time experience

549
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: watching both. Also, we'll talk about the border next hour.

550
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 2: It's suddenly become a big issue among Democratic voters, especially

551
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: since cities like Chicago and New York are being overrun

552
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: by migrants who are either being sent there, although we

553
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: found out yesterday not so much. It's only a small

554
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: percentage that are coming from Texas and the buses. There

555
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: are people that are just going to New York because

556
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: they're hearing that you get a right to shelter, right

557
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: that they have to put you somewhere in housing and

558
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: you can maybe find work there because it's a big city.

559
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: All of this coming up in the big two o'clock hour.

560

00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,760

Speaker 1: He faces up to ten years in jail.

567
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 2: However, the story that's making news when it comes to

568
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 2: cryptocurrency fraud is coming out of Turkey, where a man
