Speaker 1: little news booth. We will update you on a big

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: story today. The Elle County District Attorney, George Gasconne decided

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: to hold a news conference Friday. You appeared on NBC

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: Nightly News was interviewed by Lester Holt today. He came

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: out to try to explain why his policies led to

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: the release of a man who apparently has quite a

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: criminal background, including a stripe on his record. This is

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the man that killed the two el Monty police officers

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: before apparently taking his own life last Tuesday. We'll have

39
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Eric Sadal his response to

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: this George gascon news conference. We got a couple of

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: clips to play that'll come up right after your chance

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: to win a thousand dollars with the KFI keyword. That's

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: back on k fight. About twenty yesterday, a group of

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: Democrats in Sacramento decided to hold a news conference of

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: their own to address the high gas prices in the

46
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: state of California in the whole country. I heard somebody

47
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: tell me this over the weekend. I got relatives in Maryland.

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: They're complaining because they're paying about five dollars a gallon

49
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: for gas. Well, welcome to California. We're well above that.

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: We were making our way towards seven dollars, but apparently

51
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: there's been a little pullback, and in La County we're

52
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: sitting now at about six dollars and forty cents the

53
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: average price for a gallon of gas. So these Democrats

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: came out and said, oh, are we going to give

55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: the drivers any gas price relief? No, No, we're gonna

56
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna investigate. We're gonna have a legislative investigation of

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: the high gas prices. Let's bring on Vince Fong, the

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: Republican from Current County and the Assembly Budget Committee vice chair,

59
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: for more about this stunt. Vince, Welcome back to the show.

60
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Well, isn't that what it is?

61
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Isn't there? I think, isn't the truth that they don't

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: really mind the Californias are stuck with high gas prices

63
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: because that might push them away from driving a gasoline

64
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: fuel cars. Isn't that really what's going on? But they

65
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: have to do something. That's the dirty secret in Sacramento.

66
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean this is all political theater. I mean, it's

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: times and the political antics. And suspend the gas sax now,

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean that is what Californias are asking for. Californians

69
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: are being crushed at the gas pump and they're demanding

70
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: immediate relief. I mean even the President the United States

71
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: is probably going to suspend the federal gas I mean

72
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: there is no excuse now for Democrats not to ask

73
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: to tax. And I think we found out because one

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: of their arguments was, well, the oil companies will pass

75
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: along the drop and the gas price. But in states

76
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: that have done this, indeed, gas prices have dropped more significantly. Absolutely,

77
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: the list of states that have suspended the gas tax

78
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: temporarily is growing. And I mean this is how idiotic

79
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: and dysfunctional Sacramento is. I mean they are creating a

80
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: committee on gasoline supply and Pricing. I mean, they're going

81
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: to stud you why we don't have enough gasoline. It's

82
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: because they won't approve any permits to allow more domestic

83
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: oil production in California. And when they want and now

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: they want to study, well, why is gas prices higher

85
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: in California than the rest of the country. Well, we

86
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: know why. It's taxes. It sees its mandates in amounts

87
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: to about a dollar thirty. So to your family members

88
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: and friends that are complaining about five gasoline, well at

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: six thirty and six thirty eight sixty in California. That

90
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: different is the California way. Yeah, And you know what,

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: people in other states never felt this kind of pain

92
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: that we've been feeling for years since they went with

93
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: these climate policies which have added so much to the

94
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: price of a gallon of gas. It didn't Newsom do

95
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: something like this in twenty nineteen, the same thing. Didn't

96
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: he authorize some committee to study the high gas prices

97
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: and that went nowhere. There have been so many studies.

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: Newsom's asked for one a couple of years ago. Governor

99
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Schwarzenegger asked for one back when he was governor, and

100
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: the results are all the same. That the price of

101
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: oil is determan on a global market and it's applying

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: demand and right now because of all the policies that

103
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: Newsom has put in place that has restricted supply, all

104
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: the policies that Biden has put in that's restricted the

105
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: production of oil and gas. I mean, this is what's

106
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: creating the imbalance that's causing the gas prices to go up. Yeah.

107
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing unique about California. The whole country

108
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: is seeing rising gas prices. It's just that we have

109
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: all these extra add ons which makes our price of

110
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: gasoline that much higher. I don't see why they need

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: to do an investigation. They really think that the oil

112
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: company executives are going to come to Sacramento and sit

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: there and ask the answer the same mundane questions. Well,

114
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: the the energy producers are going to tell the truth.

115
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna tell to the two Democrats, it's your fault.

116
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Look in the mirror. I mean, do you have a

117
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: fifty one state excise SAX, you have a twenty two

118
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: cent low coop and fuel center. Do you have twenty

119
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: five cents added because of cap and trade? You've got

120
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: you've got a two cent underground storage tex I mean,

121
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: those all are in California and nowhere else. Why can't

122
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: the Democrats be honest with the people of Californians say, yeah,

123
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: gas prices are very high in California because we want

124
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: them that way. We do not want you to drive

125
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: gasoline fuel cars. It's the whole reason for this, and

126
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: we don't mind at all as long as we get

127
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: you to cut back on driving. Why don't they ever

128
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: admit that they won't because they won't. Democrats will talk

129
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 1: out of both sides of the mouth. If you ask

130
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: the governor, if you ask sacrament Democrats, they'll say, we

131
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: need to provide the most immediate relief possible to suffering

132
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: California motorists. And then you give them the solution and

133
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: they say, well, we can't do that. It's it's completely Assanie.

134
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: So now, I supposedly there was some Democrats who were

135
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: getting together with some Republicans to try to push for

136
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: the suspension of the gas tax. But I guess that

137
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: they went down the drain. Well, the bipartisan proposal is

138
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: our proposal. So we called for a suspension the gas sax. Now, Democrats,

139
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: some Democrats have joined with us, and now they're calling

140
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: for a suspension of the state's gas tax for a

141
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: year and having those those savings passed on to the consumer.

142
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: So everyone is moving toward us. It's the governor that's

143
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: being stubborn and refuses to act. And what's even more

144
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: frustrating and why Californians are getting more and more upset,

145
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: is that the governor's in action is going to allow

146
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: the state's gas tax to go up again. So on

147
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: July first, the gas tax in California goes up. That

148
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: goes up, and it goes up a few cents of

149
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: gallons exactly, well, I mean it's fifty one cents and

150
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: it goes back up. I mean, imagine how tone death

151
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: you have to be that the number one issue impact

152
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: in Californian's family budgets right now is the price of gasolene.

153
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: And they're going to allow the gas tax in California.

154
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: They're going to allow gasolene to become more expensive. That's

155
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: completely tone death. All right, Vince, I appreciate talking to

156
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: you once again, Thanks for coming on, thanks for having me.

157
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: All right, that's assembly been. Vince Fong from Curtain County

158
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: Republican who is a vice chair of the Budget Committee,

159
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: talking about the stunt. Yesterday we're Assembly Democrats announced yet

160
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: another drone investigation into high gas prices in California. Well,

161
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: we know why we're higher than the rest of the country,

162
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: so that doesn't get us anywhere. It's all of the

163
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: climate change taxes in the high taxes in California in general.

164
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: So if you want to know why there's high gas

165
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: prices in the whole country, that's a whole different subject.

166
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: But California is not unique this time. We're just higher

167
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: than anybody and all the other states as usual. All right,

168
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: when I come back, first thing, we'll be your chance

169
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: to win a thousand dollars with the keyword it's back.

170
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: That's right. You can find out what the keyword is

171
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: and have a shot at a thousand bucks. And then

172
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Ellie County District Attorney George Gasclan,

173
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: who held a news conference a couple of hours ago

174
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: to try to explain, but it didn't last very long.

175
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: Reporters ask questions and suddenly he folded up and walked away.

176
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: More coming up on the Johnny Ken Show on CAFI

177
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: and making news this afternoon, Bill Cosby is found liable

178
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: in a civil case for the nineteen seventy sex abuse

179
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: of a team at the Playboy Mansion. Bill Cosby is

180
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: now eighty four years old. He did not attend this

181
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: civil trial in Santa Monica. He's been in order to

182
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: pay the victim, Judy Huff, five hundred thousand dollars. I

183
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: guess the jury believed her story. He's found liable sexually abusing,

184
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: and dunno yet whether or not he will appeal that decision.

185
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Today in the three o'clock hour, we saw the La

186
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: County District Attorney, George Gascone take to the microphones and

187
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: a horde of reporters was there to try to ask

188
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: him questions. He didn't take too many. He was only

189
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: speaking for a few minutes. Then he moved over and

190
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: spoke in Spanish, and then he took a few questions,

191
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: and then he fled the scene. He even fled on

192
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: a reporter that was trying to ask him if he

193
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: had a response to the grieving mother of one of

194
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: the officers killed in El Monty. That is, of course,

195
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Joseph Santanna. Also killed was Corporal Michael Parades. These two

196
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: last Tuesday, had answered a domestic violence call at the hotel.

197
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: We have found out in the several days for more

198
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: detailed reporting that when they got to the hotel, they

199
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: went to the room and apparently the woman inside, who

200
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: looks like to be the estranged wife of this killer,

201
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Justin Flores, fled the room and said he's got a gun.

202
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Flores apparently had retreated into the bathroom of the hotel room,

203
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: and before the cops could do anything, he came out firing,

204
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: shot them both in their head, killed them. He then

205
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: went outside. There are reports he took one of the

206
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: El Monty police officers guns with him. He got into

207
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: a shootout in the parking lot where actually shot a sergeant.

208
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: I believe the sergeant was hitting the leg and then

209
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Flores killed himself. That's the coroner's report that he actually

210
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: turned the gun on himself, killed himself. After all you

211
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: just heard, are you surprised today to hear that? George

212
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: Gascon said, who knew this as a violent man? You

213
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: know a gang remember that continues to carry a gun,

214
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: doesn't that tell you something? In fact, the reporter tried

215
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: to ask that question and Gascon just brushed it off.

216
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Nothing in his background. We can't predict future behaviors. We

217
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: just do not know. Here is some of what Gascon

218
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: had to say today at this news conference. The history

219
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: of the suspect, Sir Flories, did not contain any evidence

220
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: of Winns. He was basically someone that had been drug

221
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 1: addictive for many years. He had been arrested mostly for

222
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: drug related offenses, and almost a decade ago, he was

223
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: arrested and convicted for burglarizing his grandparents home and stealing

224
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: a TV. He then remained pretty much away from the

225
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: criminal justice system until he arrest in this particular case,

226
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: where he was arrested for possessional drugs for personal use

227
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: on the possession of a gun. The outcome in this

228
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: particular case, given what we knew then no history of violence,

229
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: very little contact with the criminal justice system for nearly

230
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: ten years, was appropriate. When people are arrested for serious crimes,

231
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: we work hard to ensure that there are serious consequences,

232
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: including lengthy periods of incarceration. But we have an imperfect system,

233
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: and that's not only here in LA, that's everywhere. I

234
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: know that this is frustrating to hear and it may

235
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: not help heal at once. For some but we do

236
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: not serve our community when we try to pretend that

237
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: we can predict one of the time. Well, let's kill

238
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: it there, because we got to get to this part.

239
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: John Lewin, who was on our show last week, he's

240
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: a Deputy DA. He's one of those speaking out in fact,

241
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: ninety something percent of the deputy das or against gascons

242
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: as La County DA. But anyway, he was on our

243
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: show last week and he was pointing out one thing

244
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: that Gascon is lying about here, and he actually sent

245
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: the excerpt from one of Gascone's directives. Now, remember Gascon

246
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: took office at the end of twenty twenty. This justin

247
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Flores case was resolved in early twenty twenty one, and

248
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: according to the directive, the original directive issued by Gascone.

249
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: And as I told you before, this was a guy

250
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: who has a strike on his record. Under California's three

251
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: strikes law, we could send him back to prison for

252
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: two and a half to three years for this gun possession.

253
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: But here's what Gascon's original policy said. Sentence enhancements or

254
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: other sentencing allegations, including under the three strikes laws, shall

255
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: not be filed in any case and shall be withdrawn

256
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: and pending matters. So the lie is at Gascon tried

257
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: to act like in this news conference, said, oh, we

258
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: took a careful look at the Justin Flores case, and

259
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: you know it was a burglary of his grandparents home

260
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: years ago, and he's kind of a drug user, and

261
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: we didn't see anything. They didn't do that. He had

262
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: this policy that you just don't charge for the strike,

263
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: no exceptions. Remember Gascon was clear about that right at

264
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: the beginning. He softened that a bit when it came

265
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: to child abuse allocations and other certain that maybe hate crimes,

266
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: but he tried to say there's going to be no exceptions,

267
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: because once you start allowing exceptions, you've opened the door

268
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: and the whole effort is lost at criminal justice reform

269
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: is what he's after. So he lied in this news conference.

270
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: He's trying to make everyone believe that, oh, we took

271
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: a careful look at the background of Justin Flores and

272
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: there was nothing in there to indicate that he'd be

273
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: violent like this, and we can't dick human behavior, and

274
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: we're sorry about that, and these things happen bs. Californians

275
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: passed the three strikes law to deal with guys like this,

276
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: a gang member who constantly carries a gun. Yeah, nothing

277
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: wrong there. One of the reporters said, it looks like

278
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't learned anything from his experience with the criminal

279
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: justice system. He's still carrying a gun and he's still

280
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: allegedly a known gang member. All Right, when I come back,

281
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: I have an opportunity to talk about this with the

282
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Sadal He is a another Deputy DA and of

283
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: course he's with the LA Eric the La County Association

284
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: of Deputy Das. He's coming on next Johnny Kent Show

285
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: on K five. Well, today the show k from La

286
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: County District Attorney George Gaffscone. I played some of the audio.

287
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: He didn't speak for very long. He wanted to defend

288
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: his DA office actions concerning the case of Justin Flores.

289
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: That's the man who shot and killed two El Money

290
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: police officers last Tuesday when they answered a domestic violence

291
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: call at a hotel. Floris then, supposedly, calling to the coroner,

292
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: killed himself committed suicide, which at least takes off the

293
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: table the possibility that the county would pay for his

294
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: burial costs, because that's also gascon policy when you die

295
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: at the hands of police. But the report now is

296
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: that he did kill himself. But Gascon held a very

297
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: short news conference when I noticed, and it didn't really

298
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: come up until there were follow up questions. He didn't

299
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: mention that Justin Floris was a striker, that he had

300
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: a strike against him under California's three strikes law. He

301
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: simply wanted to say that we can't predict and there

302
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: was nothing in his background that indicated he was a

303
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: violent person, gang member with the gun. But you know

304
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: nothing that he actually did a burglary, you know, drug charges.

305
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: Let's bring on Eric Saddal with the La County Association

306
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: of Deputy District Attorneys. I'm sure they were tuned in

307
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: for this little news conference today. We'll get his take. Eric,

308
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: welcome back to the show. I think you again for

309
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: having me. Sure, Well, what did you get out of that? Well?

310
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I was actually present in the press room when he spoke,

311
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: and I saw a very nervous George Gascon. I saw

312
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: a very hostile press cord that feels like that they're

313
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: not getting the answers from the district attorney, and they

314
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: are one hundred percent right. They are not getting the answers.

315
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: George Gascone basically didn't acknowledge the fact that, and this

316
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: is a fact under his policy, this man was given

317
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: probation when the law of the state of California says

318
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: that he should have been in the state prison cell.

319
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: And that's the bottom line. That's the only real analysis

320
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: that needs to be done. But for George Gascone, officers,

321
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: Santana and officers, but it is would be alive today. Yeah,

322
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: he acted like we have discretion and he acted like, well,

323
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: we took a look at Floris, his background and his

324
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: other arrest didn't involve any violence. So we made the

325
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: decision that he's not a threat to society. And you know,

326
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: we made this plea deal. But you pointed out correctly,

327
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: he's got a strike on his record. That's what the

328
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: law says. Well, and let's let's also remember is that

329
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: that analysis never happened. Okay, that analysis is not required

330
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: under George Gascone's law, and the analysis that George Gascone

331
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: gave to the press today never was required under his policy.

332
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: Under his policy, it doesn't matter what the strike is.

333
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: It could be murder, it could be it could be

334
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: criminal threats. It could be any type of strike, all

335
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: strikes under his policy, or to be dismissed, which is

336
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: exactly what happened in this case. This is his doing.

337
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: He broke the criminal justice system. He owns it. And

338
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, today was just a pathetic attempt. And you

339
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: know what, I'll tell you something I haven't seen that often.

340
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone be able to lie in two

341
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: languages within five minutes. But that's exactly what you did.

342
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: You are right. He did look nervous and he did

343
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: not really take a lot of questions before he apparently bolted.

344
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: Lord Kate bolted. He was asked a series of questions

345
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: by the press, and for the first time he had

346
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: a United Press Corps that wanted and demanded answers. He

347
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: refused to give them, and instead of continuing to answer

348
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: the questions and clarify what happened, he bolted out. You know,

349
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: because he was scared. He knows that the truth is

350
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: not on his side. And I think what is really

351
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: offensive when you think about all of what has happened,

352
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: is that there are two families that are now devastated

353
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: because of his policy. There's a police department that is

354
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: deeply wounded because of his policy, and yet he doesn't

355
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: have the decency to give it an apology and to

356
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: acknowledge his part in this horrific act. Yeah, Olga Garcia

357
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: is the mother of Officer Joseph Santana. We had her

358
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: on the show, and I'm sure you heard her Eric

359
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: talk about how she blamed GASCONA. He was asked that

360
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: at the end of the US conference, but he just

361
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: walked away from that question. I mean, it was pretty pathetic,

362
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: but I guess he knows the recall is going to

363
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: get even fueled further by this story. You know, it's

364
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: more than pathetic, though, it's it's kind of shameful, right,

365
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: because if you caused this devastation, why not say, you

366
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: know what, I played a part in this. My policies

367
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: played a part into this. We've revisited it, we've learned,

368
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: we're evolving, we're going to change, we're going to deal

369
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: with this. Instead, he claims pure ignorance and he sticks

370
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: by these ill conceived policies that have had devastating consequences. Yeah,

371
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: that's a good point. He really should admit, because you

372
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: just summed it up there that the courts basically reversed

373
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: what he was doing with that directive to ignore strikes.

374
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: He should have admitted that, he should have said that

375
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: was wrong, and we screwed up in the Flora's case,

376
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: and we're sorry about that. And as you said, we've learned,

377
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: we're ready to move on. And but instead he tried

378
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: to he lied. He tried to make it sound like, well,

379
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: we looked at this particular guy and oh well his

380
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: strike didn't involve anything that we thought was violent. And

381
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: he tried to make it sound like we carefully analyzed

382
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: the justin Flora's case and decided that probation was the

383
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: right outcome. Right, and that again that never happened. We

384
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: know that didn't happen. Yo. Now this is this is

385
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: his case, this is his policies, and I think unfortunately

386
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: we're starting to see, you know, the really horrific effects

387
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: that he's going to cause. You know, there are other

388
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: cases are coming down to pipe people, juveniles who have

389
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: been released after committing a double murder and the meeting

390
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: another murder. You know, these are these are his policies

391
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: in you know, he needs to really take a deep

392
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: look in the mirror and realize that the amount of

393
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: devastation that he's causing on the people of Los Angeles County.

394
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: All right, Eric, thanks again for talking to be appreciated

395
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: and appreciate your hard work on this. Thank you so much.

396
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: All right, Eric Saddal with the LA County Association of

397
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: Deputy District Attorneys, and as you know, more than ninety

398
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: percent of them support the recall of their boss, George Gascon.

399
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: He likes to write them off as, oh, they're just

400
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: old school lock them up types. This is dangerous. I mean,

401
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: if you go to recall a da George Gascon dot com,

402
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: and again if you're a registered LA County voter, please

403
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: do that. They still need your signature on petitions because

404
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: they need a big cushion here. As I'm sure a

405
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: lot of these signatures are going to be thrown out.

406
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: We can't trust any of this signature verification process when

407
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: it comes to recalls. We've learned that lesson by. You'll

408
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: also find many stories like this. I mean, we've had

409
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Desiree on Drading on the show. She's one of those

410
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: that's a part of the recall effort. What they did

411
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: in her son's case, he was murdered, but they refused

412
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: to add any enhancements. I mean, his policy on juveniles

413
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: people under the age of eighteen that commit heinous crimes

414
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: is soft. We saw that in the case of this

415
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: Tubbs character, James Tubbs, who now is charged with murder

416
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: up in Current County. But you can see that Gascon

417
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: clearly has a completely different and you want to call

418
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: it vision of criminal justice than I think of large

419
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: majority of people in California, and particularly people in La

420
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: County have so recall da George Gascon dot com. Sadly,

421
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: the death of two Almonte police officers may be the

422
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: fuel we need to get this Christian of signatures to

423
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: affect a recall. More coming up on the John and

444
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: talking about George Gascoon, but let's take a minute to

445
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: talk about Gavin Newsom. This was a funny story that

446
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: popped up. Listeners have said it's a writer in Atlantic

447
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: Magazine Atlantic dot com. Ronald Brownstein apparently wrote a new

448
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 1: piece and he believes that the new leader of the

449
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. That's right, the United States Democratic Party should

450
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: be Gavin Newsom. Now, I have said on this show

451
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: repeatedly in the last several weeks, there will not be

452
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: a president Newsom, because you can hold me that if

453
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: something changes in the year twenty four or twenty eight,

454
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have it. You look back at elections,

455
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: not all of them, but you look back certainly in

456
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: more modern times you had Clinton, Obama, Trump, I mean,

457
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: Biden's the exception doesn't have it. But that was really

458
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: just an effort to get rid of Trump. Somebody. People

459
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: wanted to get true rid of Trump, and they voted

460
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: either either legally or not to get rid of Trump.

461
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: That's a bit of an accept But Gavin Knewsome, once

462
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: he's on the national stage, he'll be perceived just the

463
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: way we perceive him, and many Californians perceive him, Huh,

464
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: what do he say? What? He's a wonk. He speaks

465
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: in jargon. He often speaks out the two sides of

466
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: his mouth. He may speak fast, and he may sound confident,

467
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: but the message is just too hard to discern. You

468
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: have to speak plainly, You have to connect with people

469
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: on some emotional level. He can't do that. Now, the

470
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: argument that Brownstein makes is that somebody younger has to

471
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: step up. You're seeing the stories. Even the New York

472
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: Times did a story that at seventy nine years of age,

473
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: we're starting to see that Joe Biden just doesn't have

474
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: it to really roll forward as president. We all knew

475
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: that when he was running back in twenty twenty, but

476
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: they ignored all that because it was about ousting Trump.

477
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: But now that he's been president for you know, coming

478
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: up on a year and a half, you can see

479
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: not up to the job, and particularly since all these

480
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: problems have come up, including inflation and then there was

481
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: Afghanistan followed by what's going on in Ukraine. He does

482
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: not have the temperament. He can't make the arguments. He's

483
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: not up for this. He's befuddling. He's fallen off his bicycle.

484
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: But this guy's trying to say that Newsom is just

485
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: he's right on point and all the right party issues

486
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: like abortion, the LGBTQ rights and stuff like that. I

487
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a non starter, all right. So let's talk

488
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: to a Conway Hey. Now, yes, who did you have

489
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: on as a guest about ten minutes ago talking about gascone?

490
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: Eric Saddal with the La County Association of Deputy DA. Oh,

491
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: he is great man. He was fought on that he

492
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: was That was a terrific interview. I couldn't get it.

493
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: I hope you signed the petition. Oh yeah, signed, I

494
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: signed like ten times. That's comforting. Then you may be

495
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: thrown out nine times. That's fine, listen, been thrown out.

496
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: But before um Bill Cosby has been found guilty. Um yeah,

497
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: jury finds Cosby sexually abused women when a woman when

498
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: she was sixteen years old, and orders him to orders

499
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: him to pay only five hundred thousand dollars. You would

500
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: think that they would be You think that's small change

501
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: to him. Point I think it's small change for her

502
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: as well. You know, once you maybe take the lawyer's

503
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: fee out of that, it's probably down to three hundred

504
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: and that's very traumatic for a sixteen year old girl.

505
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: You know. Plus it's it's highly illegal. There's that level too,
