I was stalling because I 10 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: didn't hear ken, so I thought there was a connection. 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think there was a connection 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 1: issue because I said some things and nobody responded, so 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: that must not They must not have had my I 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: guess volume up. Okay, you weren't on the air. What 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: would you like to talk about? Who screw up? Is that? 16 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: Eric Sclark? Get out of there doing you were on 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: the air, Nothing was coming over the air, though I did. 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: I said several things and John didn't respond and he 19 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: just kept talking. So you did not have me up. 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: Oh I thought you were pissed off about so I'll 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: repeat what I said. I said, do you feel like 22 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: you're in limbo? That's what I said, and you were 23 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: probably perplexed. That is the headline, and they also going 24 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: to do times about the mayor's election that doesn't have 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: a result. LA residents feel that they're in limbo. And 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: you're an LA resident. I'm asking you, are you really 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: on edge and feel like you're in limbo because you 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: just don't know who the next mayor is yet? Well, 29 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: limbo is supposed to be that place after you die 30 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: and you haven't yet gone to heaven or hell. You're 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: you're in that like the committee is determining your application. 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: Also known as the waiting room from Catholic school, also 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: known as what purgatory? Purgatory? Right, that's a great word 34 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: from my catechism. Do I feel like I'm in purgatory 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: right now? Well? I always feel that way. You are 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: between worlds. Every die. Every day when I wake up, 37 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: it's like I'm still in Burger. It's not quite hell. 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: But this isn't pleasant because you don't accept the real world. 39 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: It's not real to you. It's too crazy, it's too stupid, 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: So there must be another world you're waiting for. Therefore 41 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: you're stuck between this. That's right, I get it now. 42 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: I got it by the way. That encapsulates my entire existence. 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: Since I was as far back as I could remember, 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: I always felt, you know, I shouldn't be here, even 45 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: when I was five years old. It's like something's wrong. 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I was left in the wrong place. Spaceship took off 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: without me. Yep, some crazy stork just dropped you down 48 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: the chat I know. So, No, I don't. I don't. 49 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: I didn't notice anybody suffering today being in limbo. Yeah, 50 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: limbo me means people just walk around in the days. 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: They don't know what to do with their lives because 52 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: we don't have a mayor officially yet, or we haven't 53 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: had one for nine and a half years. So it's 54 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: exactly the point that it's another day stupid. I just uh, 55 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: they haven't counted more than a million votes in La County, Okay, 56 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I was doing some research today. Yes, 57 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: so we have by far, even when you adjust for 58 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: population difference, by far the most races that have not 59 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: been called or counted one way or the other. I 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: think there's thirty three house races, for example, that have 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: not been called. For you, when you say not counted, 62 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: you make it sound like they haven't counted one vote, well, 63 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: counted enough so you could get an idea who won 64 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: right enough to call the race. Okay, all right, we're 65 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: twelve percent of the population. Fourteen out of the thirty 66 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: three outstanding house races are in California. That's pretty pathetic. 67 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: That's what about. It's because of our system. That's the 68 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: worst system in the country. And I looked at every 69 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: most states have all their races accounted for. Here's what 70 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: LA County is saying. Then this paragraph got me a 71 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: little bit. Just after three thirty eight m yesterday morning, 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: the county said it counted one million, three hundred eighteen thousand, 73 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: ninety three ballots. That's all the people that voted in 74 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: person like you, and all the mail ballots received before 75 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: election day, like me, but all the mail ballots they 76 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: got on election day, and then the ones that are 77 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: gonna be coming in for the next six days. They 78 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: think so far it's at least nine hundred eighty five thousand. 79 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: That tells you how many people either just dropped them 80 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: off on election day, or mailed them on election day, 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: or mailed them off the day before. So that's the 82 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: imbalance that they're dealing with. There's almost as many people 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: voting by mail on election day or the day before. 84 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: But you told people to do that. You advise people 85 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: to wait, even if you're doing a mail in ballot, 86 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: don't fill it out until we see what happens. Run 87 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: the race and the closing days, run the rate. Yeah, 88 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: I got a lot of complicated thoughts on this, I 89 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: do think. But I put the voter guide up a 90 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: month ago. I think that no, because people are, Yeah, 91 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: if you're gonna what we say, sure, then you could 92 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: vote a month at a time. Yeah, there was no 93 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: changing in those opinions, and they didn't change. We actually 94 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 1: didn't have that many candidates picked and nod and mostly 95 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: it was the propositions and then propositions aren't going to change. 96 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: But the thing is, I think it's fair to say 97 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: if forty nine other states don't have this problem and 98 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: we do, it's us. What about Arizona and Nevada? They 99 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: seem to be having a slow count for that Senate 100 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 1: race in each state? Aren't they kind of slow too? 101 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: They are kind of slow. I saw one was still 102 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: at seventy seven percent. Okay, they're seventy seven percent or 103 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: so in Arizona. I think the Nevada Senate race is 104 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: at eighty four percent. Yeah, here in La, what do 105 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: we have more than half the votes not counting. What 106 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: are some of the congressional races at I wonder and 107 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: like an Orange County, they're still some money decided. Yeah, 108 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: I mean I could look that up, but I can't 109 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: get to it this minute. But what I'm saying is 110 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: the state we have a bad system. Okay, Florida is 111 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: wrapped up real fast. Most of the states around the 112 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: country where they had close races. But you told me 113 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: in Florida they don't vote by mail much, right, Well, 114 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: they because it's still like an absentee ballot. You have 115 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: to apply for it. You have you have reduces, this 116 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: all this crap, right, but you have to send you 117 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: have to send in your request before ten days of 118 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: the election. But they also had record turnouts. All these 119 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: states had record turnouts. This was a high turnout election. 120 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: Our turnout here wasn't that great. Twenty was a bigger 121 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: turnout than this year. Yes, but for a mid term election, 122 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: for this type of election, a lot of states had 123 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: had had a big turnout. And there's also the three 124 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: day rule has come into play again. Here and you 125 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: saw this story because I think you found it. But 126 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: it turns out that the Republican congressional vote is actually 127 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: larger than it was during the Great Tea Party wave 128 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: of twenty ten, but the votes were allocated differently in 129 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: the districts, and the Republicans didn't win nearly as many 130 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: districts even though they had a much greater not a 131 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: much greater, but a somewhat greater percentage of the vote. 132 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: Isn't that odd? But is that because they just they've 133 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: they're more likely to vote yes? But they they they 134 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: had give you the exact numbers here in Babbel. As 135 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: a Thursday morning, Republicans had fifty two point three percent 136 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: of the vote, So Republicans lead by six points. Like 137 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: the nationwide vote. Nationwide vote, um, it's almost the same 138 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: margin as in twenty ten when they had like the 139 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: fifty million votes, Republicans got fifty million votes. In twenty ten, 140 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: Republicans had forty four million votes. Fifty it's more people now, 141 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: So fifty two point three percent of the vote nationally 142 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: versus fifty one point three percent of the vote in 143 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: twenty ten. But in twenty ten, the Republicans won sixty 144 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: three seats. They flipped sixty three seats right now. The Republicans, 145 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: I think, flipped nine. So how do you get more votes, 146 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: a greater percentage of votes and you flip nine seats 147 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: compared to sixty three. Did you say they did redistrict 148 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: this year? Right? Wow? That I think is the key 149 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: because a lot of states, well, I think all the 150 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: states redrew the lines. They did because of the twenty 151 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: twenty census. That's the law. You have to rebalance the 152 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: state to account for population changes. And so I don't 153 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: know if the Democratic states were better at this than 154 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: the Republican states, but somehow it got in. The district's 155 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: got drawn so that there's a more Republican votes, a 156 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: higher percentage of Republican votes, but far less seats. Well, 157 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: back to what you were saying about what's funny about 158 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: the Zelsa Gondo Times story. By the end of it, 159 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: the generations have flipped for decades. Reliably accurate pre election 160 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: and exit polling help shape election night calls, giving news 161 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: organizations and researchers a quicker picture of who would prevail. 162 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: But pre election polling grew less accurate the Internet made 163 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: cheaper online polling with non random sampling, more readily available 164 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: exit polls don't hold the weight they used to, and 165 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: now sometimes the results or here's the quote. The older 166 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: a voter is, the more they're getting to be used 167 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: to instant gratification on election night. The younger a voter is, 168 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: the more they've lived in this newer world where the 169 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: networks are not making calls quickly, where the polls are 170 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: not trusting predictors of an election, and we're voting by 171 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: mail is prevalent. They are more patient than the older folks. 172 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: That's why I meant by yeah, you I understand. But 173 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: this guy says, calm down and get the election staff 174 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: time to do their job, not if they're incompetent or crooked. 175 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: Oh this is Kim Alexander, president of the on partisan 176 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: California Voter Foundation. When you're the only state to have 177 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: this gigantic a difference between votes cast, the vote counted, 178 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: votes counted, it means we have a bad, inefficient system. 179 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look who we have. We were just talking 180 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: about a few minutes ago, Dean Logan running the vote 181 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: counting here in La County. The guy was involved in 182 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: some huge, uh scandal up in Seattle. He comes here. 183 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: He's been involved in a couple of scandals here. It 184 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: was his department that mysteriously couldn't find enough recall votes 185 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: for Mike Bonnen. They have seven days. Oh for Gascon, 186 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: I should say Bonna is the city. Yeah, they have 187 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: seven days. So they're not going to end this until 188 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: at least next Tuesday or Wednesday. That's that's the shut 189 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: the shut off of getting mail in. That's that's a 190 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: bad system. Okay, mail mail in, mail in votes are 191 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: all over the place. We have a bad system. We 192 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: don't have enough workers, or they've made it too complicated. 193 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: Who knows what it is. But there's no reason that 194 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: we would have had a world where you could get 195 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: all the results by the next morning. And I jeez, 196 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: I can remember when I was a little kid because 197 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: I would watch election nights as a little kid, and 198 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: I knew the next morning the result was in. So 199 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: when I was a little kid, the system worked, and 200 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: now it doesn't. No, all right, we got your keyword 201 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: coming up next, John and Ken Cafe. I am six 202 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and I was 203 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: just looking at a headline in the Elsa Gundo times. 204 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: Where is my inflation cash relief money? You know, the 205 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: state's handing out money to people, more bribe money. It 206 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: started right before the election, but they're having handed out 207 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: nearly I don't think, not even half of it yet. 208 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: So there must be people calling and emailing where's my money? 209 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: I hear this story about money, where's my money? Yeah? Well, 210 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: they're just bad at everything, aren't they. But yeah, not 211 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: a life. Don't earn money. They're gonna regret handing out 212 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: all this money when they run into a massive deficit 213 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: sometime in the future. I realized today's the wrong day 214 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: to day that to say that, because the stock market 215 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: took off incredibly this morning thanks to the inflation numbers, 216 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: which are still really bad. There are bad we'll talk 217 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: about that later. His name is Johnny Achondo. Who is 218 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: Johnny and Chondo? Well that's the guy that, let's just say, 219 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: you monopolize, like the last hour or so of our 220 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: show last night, who got involved in the police chases 221 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: because he was stealing the only First he stole a van, 222 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: then he stole a pickup truck, and it ended right 223 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: after we went off the air with gunfire at a 224 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: gas station and Hacienda Heights Johnny Achondo thirty two. Oh 225 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: at least this part of Moreno Valley, so probably not homeless. 226 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: But no, you put money on a parole, you win. 227 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: He is a parole. We don't know yet for what. 228 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: But first day he hit him with charge with violent 229 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: his paroles. He's no longer a danger to society. We 230 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: feel comfortable that he will successfully integrate into the world. 231 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: That's right, he's paid his price, He's done his time. Right, 232 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: he's read. As Mayor gar said, he once famdlessly said, 233 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: thank him for his service. Yes, that everyone deserves a 234 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: second chance. The guy steals three cars in the night 235 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: and smashed a number I don't know how many, totally 236 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: ended up smashing along the way because he was thriving 237 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: a black Honda Civic and they saw him swerving and 238 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: doing things they thought was maybe drunk, so they tried 239 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: to pull him over. This is in Fullerton, and that's 240 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: when things got crazy because he drives into Anaheim. He 241 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: gets out of that car and then he jumps into 242 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: that van and then eventually when that van and that 243 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: van's pretty much destroyed. As you know, the tire was 244 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: down to its gyms and it was he's smoking and flaming, 245 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: and he smashed a police car repeatedly with that van. 246 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: So and then he ends up, of course, jumping into 247 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: the family's home and witty year somehow he noticed, I 248 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: guess the keys on a rack, the car keys. And 249 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: then he took the pickup truck, the family pickup truck, 250 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,479 Speaker 1: I understand. I think their landscapers is what I read. Yeah, 251 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: and that's the last vehicle he was driving. When they 252 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: finally nabbed him at this gas station where they the 253 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: way it's unfolded. People thought he was dead because they 254 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: opened fire on him, but he seems like nobody was 255 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: hit by the gunfire. I guess it was just used. 256 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: Was it real gunfire? Was it the non lethal Yeah, 257 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: it's a good question. I don't know. It's because his gunfire. 258 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: But there was a lot of holes in the in 259 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the window I noticed, But he would have gotten hit 260 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: at all. Reports that I saw said that it was 261 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: less than lethal rounds all right, enough to break through 262 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: the glass. Yes, And I did see blood coming from 263 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: his forehead on the video last night. Oh. They had 264 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: a slight injury to his wrist. They say he was 265 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: taken to a hospital challenge custody. Another guy got hurt 266 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: age and Cruz was a bystander. He was stopped at 267 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: a traffic signal in Hacienda Heights when a crazy guy 268 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: bumped into him, bumped into his sedan. A law enforcement 269 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: vehicle then pushed the pickup truck further into his car. 270 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: So he gets out to see what's going on, and 271 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: he also says to maybe make sure his family would 272 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: be safe, and that's when he says the deputies attacked him, 273 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: warmed him and took him to the ground. You no, 274 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: I saw that because I had thought that somehow, because 275 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: the thief was acting like Houdini all night getting away 276 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: and suddenly there was a guy getting pummeled in the 277 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: middle of the street, and I thought, did he slip 278 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: out a passenger side door? And then you know, the 279 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: cops finally nabbed him. And no, this guy was driving 280 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: his wife and kid, and he was trying to get 281 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: into the car and pull his wife and kid out 282 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: because by then the shots were being fired. He thought 283 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: they were gun shots, and the cops were beating the 284 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: poo out of him, and he was on TV and 285 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: he had a big bruise and cut underneath his eye 286 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: and he kept going, this wasn't right, This is not right. 287 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: It's yeah, you're right, this is not right. Why the 288 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: cops beat you up? You didn't do anything that was wrong, 289 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: they said, he refused to move out of their line 290 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: of fire. He was trying to rexecue his wife and kid. 291 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: What what what sheriff's department was? That was? That? Was 292 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: that La Sheriff's department or Orange County? It ended up 293 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: being the La County Sheriff's department. So they picked up 294 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: the chase eventually, and that's where I think it ended 295 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: with that. That was bad. Well, let's listen to this guy. 296 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: We got him and cut one here fifty four seconds 297 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: of Adrian Cruz, the sheriffs smashing into his car. One 298 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: of them smashed into my car and m immediately started 299 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: shooting guns ages. Sounded crazy like a war zone. Blah 300 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: blah blah. I got out the car immediately. I don't 301 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: want my son and my wife's to get part of that, 302 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: so we as soon as I get off the car, 303 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: the cops is smashed me, starts socking me up, smashing 304 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: me like if I was the dude that stole the car. 305 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: They meet it through me and because and they're dragging 306 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: me around and bumping my head, hitting my head did 307 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: not have to happen that way.

Were just bystanders getting out of their way. 309 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: Instead they went and attacked me brutally, you know, in 310 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: front of my family, in front of everybody.

They give us a comment on 313 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: what happened. They tell us that Cruise refused to leave 314 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: the area, so they then took action. Crew says he 315 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: was just trying to get his family out of the 316 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: line of fire. That's some CBS two.

I mean, I 328 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: imagine there was a lot of damage, but I don't 329 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: know because the police car smashed into it at the end, 330 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: and didn't that car lose attire as well? Wasn't he 331 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: running on one of the rims? Yeah? He was.

All right? Because 338 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: at four thirty that could change. The county is releasing 339 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: the latest vote results between four thirty and five today. Well, 340 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: they moved it up at day. At the moment, she's 341 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: ten points up. One of our listeners thinks it is 342 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: because they didn't realize tomorrow's Veterans Day and they're probably 343 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: not working. I don't know tomorrow. I think Monday's the holiday. 344 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: I think tomorrow was actually eleven eleven is the veterans. 345 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: What day are they working. I don't know what they 346 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: off election. Election was Tuesday. It's Thursday. Now what have 347 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: they been doing?

Well, that lead will hold 351 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: until we see what happens between four thirty and five 352 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: with the new vote results. For any race in La County, 353 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: that's the only ones will get the other registrars. I 354 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: don't know what's going on in Orange County in other 355 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: places where they're still trying to figure out some congressional races. 356 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: LA County release those votes, I guess so. Uh. Yes, 357 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: they're responsible for all voting in the county. That is correct. 358 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: It does not go through the city Clerk of Los Angeles. 359 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: The recall went through the city, I remember that. But 360 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 1: I did hear this morning that the county handles all 361 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: of the voting any town or city that's in the county. 362 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: They're so good at it. The moist line is back 363 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: tomorrow one eight seven seven moist eighty six one eight 364 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: seven seven six six four seven eight eight six or 365 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: connect to the iHeart Radio app using the microphone icon. 366 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: All Right, so we'll begin by yeah, because this was 367 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: probably the most dramatic part of yesterday's Crazy Chase, involving 368 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: a guy who stole a couple of vehicles a van 369 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: followed by a work truck a pickup truck before they 370 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: stopped him at a gas station and Hacienda Heights. And 371 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: to get that second vehicle, which was the pickup truck, 372 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: the work truck, he had to break into a family's 373 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: home in Whittier, and eventually he commandeered the keys from 374 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: I guess a rack in the kitchen or somewhere in 375 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: the house, and made his way out there and started 376 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: up the truck and took off. Here is Andres Benitez. 377 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: It looked like three family members were involved, and I 378 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: guess three dogs were there too. Anyway, Andres is the Sun. 379 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: And here's how it went. This report we get from 380 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: Fox eleven, Gita Silva and Always. I had just gotten 381 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: home from work, like literally ten minutes happened. I got 382 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: home from work. Then ten minutes after it happened, you know, 383 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: and describe what happened. I understand he broke into your home. 384 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so I was in the kitchen, you know, 385 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: just having a normal conversation with my mother. I already 386 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: was aware of the other helicopters because my brother had 387 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: called me. He's like, hey, something's going on. But I 388 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: didn't really care about that, you know. I was just 389 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: trying to get going on with my day. So I 390 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: was in the kitchen, just drinking an energy drink. My 391 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,719 Speaker 1: mom was in the couch. We're talking, and we just 392 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: we just seen the back door open. And that backdoor 393 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: is never supposed to open, no matter what, like, so 394 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: when I seen it open, my first reaction was someone's 395 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: getting in the house, you know, and knowing my mother's 396 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: in the house, a mother friend of the the house, you know, 397 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: And so I literally just grabbed the kitchen knife, the 398 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: one that's right there. I got it to a point where, 399 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, I made sure that he felt threatened, and 400 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: I told him I started cussing a hamper. I told 401 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: him that you gotta get out of the house, manor, 402 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to stab you, like right now. 403 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: And when I told him that, he got a little 404 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: bit like, you know, he found threwn. He put his 405 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: hands up and he kept saying please, please, you know, 406 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: so I started leading him just to get out the 407 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: house to the door. So I was leading him out 408 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: with the knife like this. But the whole time I 409 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: had my mother, you know, just hold me back to 410 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: just let him go. But I didn't just want let 411 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: him go out that easy, So I was I was. 412 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: As I was leading him out right here, I saw 413 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: that he started going through my keys, and that's when 414 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: I got really mad. I was gonna My mom saw 415 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: that I was going all in, and she just kept 416 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: throwing herself on me. She put her That's that's why 417 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: she ended up getting any She has a broken hand 418 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: from an understand from the struggle she was trying to 419 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: keep on the desk from hurting the man. At what 420 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: point he did he grab the keys and then take off? 421 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: He grabbed the keys once he saw my mom was 422 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: holding me back. He used that as a chance. He 423 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: was he got him, and all he did was just 424 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: showed me some scissors he had. He knew, honestly, he 425 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: didn't even like. I don't know if he was intended, 426 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: but he just showed me some scissors he had, and 427 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: when he was my mom mom was holding me back, 428 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: he just took it as a chance to get out 429 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: the house. I was running right here, and that's when 430 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: I dropped the knife.

Cars need some bodywork and yeah, maybe a 492 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: new axle in addition to a tire or I don't know, 493 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: feel bad for that. No, go fund me for a 494 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: noth not that I can find. Oh well, you know, 495 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: he needs it for his business too. I thought the 496 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: family got the more dramatic play because they were there 497 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: confronting this guy. Yeah, that was scary. They could have 498 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: been killed by this crazy and I think I think 499 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: this truck was more heavily damaged than the other guy's 500 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: Vand but we'll see. I mean, you know, he can 501 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: set up to go fund me. We'll publicize, publicize that too, 502 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: and you know, let's repeat this. The guy that did 503 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: this a parole league, Thank you very much, California Justice. Yeah, now, 504 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: is anyone going to find out what his record was? Like? 505 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: How many other bad things has he? I mean, he's 506 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: thirty two two, okay, so he's been a criminal probably 507 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty years. How many times? I wonder how many 508 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: crimes he committed most he didn't get hot. I don't 509 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: how many rests he had convictions and how much down 510 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, god, A lot of people's lives are turned 511 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: upside down yesterday, weren't they all right?

We're gonna get another voter update 516 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: coming in the four o'clock hour, probably close at a 517 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: five pm from the Eli County Registrar of Voters to 518 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: give us a better idea. She is leading in the 519 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: votes that they have tallied so far, which should include 520 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: John Cobelt's vote. I think yes. I got a text 521 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: actually from some government entity telling me they had my vote. 522 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: Oh well the day you voted Tuesday. Yeah, I think 523 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: I got the notice yesterday, because you know, even on 524 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: the electronic voting machine, they do have your name recording. 525 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: Here we go, John Ka. This is a message from 526 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: the California Secretary of State on behalf of Los Angelis 527 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: County's Registrar of Voters. Our records indicate you voted in 528 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: person at a voting location. Your vote will be included 529 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: in the election results. Thank you for voting. I think 530 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: that's a spam. I was a bot that sent that. Well, 531 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: trick you. It came from a number four one, five, 532 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: seven five. You better go truck, you better go check it, 533 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: make sure it's official. Yeah, and I thought your vote 534 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: is I thought your vote is like instantly tabulated because 535 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: you did it through a machine. It's just the numbers. 536 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: But I don't who knows. We don't really know how 537 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: it works, do we. No, I'm not so sure they 538 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: do either. I don't. I don't trust anything anymore. What. Yeah, 539 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: I got this yesterday at eight thirteen am. All right, 540 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: So Tracy will join us after three o'clock. Yeah, we 541 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: hope she hangs on and wins that seat. That's something 542 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: along with Rick Caruso. We'll get a new number in 543 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: that race against Karen Bass and anything else. It's well, 544 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, in the county. I don't. I don't know 545 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: everything about all the new council people in LA. But 546 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: Joe Bushkayano was the strongest voice on the panel. He 547 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: often stood by himself, but at least there was somebody there, right, 548 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: Rush Guyano is now is He didn't run for reelection, 549 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: so but the guy that he heavily endorsed did win 550 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: the seat, So maybe that's a good thing. I'm hoping 551 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: that guy I think his name is Tim Mcoskar. And 552 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: then I hope Katy Katie Park says she's going to 553 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: be a big voice on this homey stuff. Tracy Park. 554 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: I don't think Katie Park is, But let me see 555 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: who's Katie Park? Oh, never mind a long time ago. 556 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: Your mind is moving fast. It was probably a Katie 557 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: Park at some point. The La County Sheriff's deputies were 558 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: very busy. We told you that they were involved at 559 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: the end of the chase last night, which ended at 560 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: the gas station in Hacienda Heights with the creep that 561 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: carjack two cars. Well, the van was parked and nobody 562 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: was in it, so I touch qualifies as a carjackings 563 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: a stolen van. And then of course he got the 564 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: pickup truck from the family and Wittier. This morning, you 565 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: may be aware that the one on one Freeway in 566 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: holly Wood Hills was shut down in both directions. The 567 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: Sheriff's department was serving an eviction notice through an apartment 568 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: in a complex on Kwanga Boulevard. It's is seven am. 569 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: They heard what sounded like a gunshot and as out 570 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution, John, as you know, Well 571 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: that's why they closed the freeway because it was close 572 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: to the freeway. Yeah, and obviously resulted in massive, massive 573 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: traffic backups. Well, we come to find hours later that 574 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: it looks like the guy killed himself and there it 575 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: was dead the whole time. But when I heard a 576 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: gunshot and they weren't going to just march in there 577 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: and get shot at. Oh, kind of surrounded the place. 578 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: They brought in the bomb squad too. Eventually. Oh yeah, 579 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: i'd heard it was a standoff, but I guess it wasn't. 580 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: It was not that gunshot was probably that person killing themselves. 581 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: I take it to believe it's the mail because that's 582 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: usually who does that. And will this story be into well, 583 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: this is what happens when you bring back evictions, say 584 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: people can't deal with it. No, am I making the argument. 585 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: Sure somebody will say that, Yeah, so that means we 586 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't evict anyone because they might kill themselves. Did they 587 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: end the eviction Bann? I thought they. I think that, Yeah, 588 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: I think it's running out at the end of the year. 589 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: I think there've been so many extensions. But last I 590 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: remember and there's a pretty uh amusing story but maybe 591 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: dangerous story from an El Segundo Times writer named Brittany 592 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: Mahia who apparently spent election night with LA's Democratic Socialists. 593 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: Did you read this story? Yes, Pizza, snacks, alcohol all 594 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: came from Costco. Speakers blared along among the songs, and 595 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: WA's bleeped the police. Everybody wore pins that read tax 596 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: the rich or not everybody, and even a lot of 597 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: them did. They were celebrating because they believe that they're 598 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 1: getting more and more of the La City council seats. 599 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: The main guy they highlighted was this Hugo Soto Hyphen Martinez, 600 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: a labor organizer and a Democrat socialist who's supposed to 601 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: knock Mitchell Farrell out of his council seat. I don't 602 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: this is going to creep up on people the way 603 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: gascon crept crept up. This is a vicious anarchist group, 604 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: this Democratic Socialist of America. They will now be three 605 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: they there's because we already know about Nithia Rahman and 606 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: now there's Unissus Hernandez is going to take over the 607 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: guilt of dal seats, so there'll be three of them. Okay, 608 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: so three out of fifteen, they've got twenty percent of 609 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: the city council. They want to destroy capitalism. Oh they're nutty. 610 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: Destroy the police department, abolish the prison system. I mean, 611 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: you name it, okay, anything about destruction of modern American life. 612 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: They're there for it. And I'm sure it's another racket. 613 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: The way Black Lives Matter was a racket. And suddenly 614 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: people are buying six million dollar mansions. The picture. Did 615 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: you look at the picture. It looks like just older 616 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: white males and maybe some young white females. I can't 617 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: be absolutely sure, but mingling around with their alcohol at 618 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: their outdoor party. That's primarily these groups. And I remember 619 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: reading about this going back over the last twenty years, 620 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: because groups like this sprung up in Seattle over twenty 621 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: years ago, Portland obviously, and down here. And they tend 622 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: to be white, upper middle class or rich kids who 623 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: feel like losers, and they've got a lot of personal 624 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: problems and they have a lot of family problems. The 625 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: group that was going after Mitchell Farrell for cleaning up 626 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: the Echo Park Lake homeless encampment, it was led by 627 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: a rich kid in his twenties whose father had won 628 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 1: like Academy Awards in movie production. And I'm just every 629 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 1: time I see a video piece, a newspiece, or an 630 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: article about this stuff, it's always that crowd. And it 631 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: is some massive rebellion against family wealth and probably neglect. 632 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 1: A lot of wealthy people are so so much their workaholics, 633 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 1: their stattest seekers. They have kids as trophies. They don't 634 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: really nurture them, care for them. The kids feel not 635 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: only neglected, but they feel they can't compete with their parents' success, 636 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: that they're always going to be a loser in comparison, 637 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: toxic combination. They're still pushing Bernie Sanders. Now we're in 638 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders caps. Boy, how old will he be in 639 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: twenty four? He's about the same age as Biden. And here, Yeah, 640 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean there'll be a new one behind Bernie Sanders. 641 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: I mean, Cascio Cortez is probably going to be next 642 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: time the queen of Yeah. And they a few of 643 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: those types got elected to Congress. I think that that 644 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: particular caucus is about ten people, all right, when we 645 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: come back. Her name is Tracy Parks. He's been on 646 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: our show a couple of times, so she's got a 647 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: pretty good lead over a man by the name of 648 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Darling and the race to replace Mike Bonnen on 649 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles City Council. This is John's district, the 650 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: eleventh district. They'll talk to her next.
