1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app ron from one until

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,319
Speaker 1: four and after four o'clock we've become a podcast John

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app and you

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: can hear what you missed. As you know, we had

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: the election last Tuesday, for goodness sakes, and they're still

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: counting the votes, but the vote margins in the LA

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: County District Attorney's race hasn't changed all that much. Gascones

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: at twenty four percent, Nathan Hakman at sixteen and a half.

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: John John had Tommy excuse me, over thirteen percent. He's

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: about three points behind Hawkman. But running out of time,

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk to John now, first chance.

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: We've had to talk since election day. John, How are

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: you welcome? Good?

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me.

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: John, Well, how are you feeling? Obviously disappointed? But talk

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: about what it was like going through the early returns

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: as the as the race was shaking out.

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: I mean, first off, I'm so grateful to you and

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: John Phillips and Jen Horn for you know, backing this

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: campaign and for you know, bringing attention through what's been

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: happening in Los Angeles for the last three and a

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: half years. I'm really thankful to my wife, who's on

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: patrol right now, definitely, you know, sacrificing the time that

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: I could spend with her and my kids. I'm also

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: thankful to all of the supporters some so many people,

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: John just a grassroots group of people came out to

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: support us. I mean, people don't realize that there are

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: some people who ran in this race who are independently wealthy.

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: I'm not one of them. And so, you know, the

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: day after the election, I was back at work. I

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: still have fourteen active child murder cases. I still continue

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: to fight for children who are abused, neglected, and murdered.

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: No matter what happens, I'm going to keep fighting for

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: the citizens of Los Angeles. And you know, I was

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: back at work to day as well, and so it's tough,

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: you know, you know, we ran a good, honorable campaign.

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: But I'm incredibly grateful to so many people who backed

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: this campaign. We've had thousands of d ms and emails

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: from people all over LA just you know, so uh

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: grateful for their support and so so grateful for the

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: opportunity to go out and run for District Attorney and

43
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: for fight to fight for everyone here in Los Angeles.

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, was it was it just Nathan Hawkman's television campaign

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: was too much.

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean he raised he outraised us three to one,

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: where you know, I bought my home with the VA

48
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: home loan and uh, you know, we work every day.

49
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: Nathan is independently wealthy, and so that's tough. You know,

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: it's tough to go against somebody who raised you know,

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: two and a half million dollars. That's definitely a huge challenge.

52
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: You know, I learned a lot. You know, it requires, uh,

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: raising a lot of money when you run for office

54
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles County because the county is so big,

55
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: and so yeah, I think that that was definitely a

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: huge challenge for us to try to overcome. You know,

57
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: we finally got some commercials at the end there, but

58
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: you know, Nathan had running commercials for like a month

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: and a half, so that that's all that's you know, tough.

60
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: I think it's a huge challenge. I do think though,

61
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: that we all should congratulate Nathan for getting you know,

62
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: in second place and making it to the runoff. And

63
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: I think, hope, I hope that we're all still going

64
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: to fight as hard as we can to get George

65
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Gasktn out of office.

66
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

67
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: I know.

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: You know, some of our listeners were really connected to

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: your campaign, really invested in you, and they're upset that

70
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: you didn't win. And we've been talking about this on

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: the air of the last week. We have to go

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: back to our original purpose, and that's to get Guess

73
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: going out of office. And if Nathan Hawkman is going

74
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: to be the vehicle to get Guess going out of office,

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: then you know, everybody's got to get behind Nathan because

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't think in substance there was a whole much

77
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: There wasn't that much difference between how you felt and

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: how he felt about what Gascone has done.

79
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what people need to first step back

80
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: and realize that a lot of people in Los Angeles

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: have suffered during the last three and a half years

82
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: under George Gascon. A lot of victims and survivors and

83
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: surviving family members have suffered as a result of that

84
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: as well. You know, we have to always look at

85
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: to what is you know, the goal, and the goal

86
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: is to make Los Angeles safer for all of us,

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: for our children, for our families, and so that's always important.

88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: No matter what, John, I'm going to continue to keep

89
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: doing that. I'm a deputy District Attorney and you know

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: I've been working in the office for eighteen years. My

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: wife's a deputy sheriff. We're not going anywhere. We're going

92
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: to continue to make sure that our community be safe.

93
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: And you know, it all depends on you know what

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: exactly is you know, my mission and what am I

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: going to do next? And I'm also religious, so I

96
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: believe that God has a plan for each and every

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: one of us, and so you've got to figure out

98
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: kind of what that is and do the best that

99
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: we can. You know, I want to make Los Angeles

100
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: safer for my kids and for all the other kids

101
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: here in LA. And you know that that means it

102
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: could be a lot of different things that I'm going

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: to do. And remember, you know, I've been fighting George

104
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: Gascon for the three and a half years he's been

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: in the office. I was the first one to step forward.

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: I got involved in both recalls. I'll continue to actively

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: work as hard as I can to make LA a

108
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: safer place for all of us.

109
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: Gascon only gets about twenty four percent of the vote,

110
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: and some people were surprised that that was enough for

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: first place. And does that mean Gascon's going is on

112
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: a glide path? And I keep telling him, look at

113
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: it the other way. Seventy six percent of the county

114
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: voted against him. And now all that and ti Gascon

115
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: vote can be consolidated into one candidate.

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, you know, there's stuff that we

117
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: can look at to be positive. But also here's one

118
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: thing I will say, John, we can't underestimate George Gascon,

119
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: and so we need to actively constantly get more people

120
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: involved in this movement. We need to actively get out

121
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: The amount of people who voted wasn't very high, and

122
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: so we need to educate individuals in Los Angeles as

123
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: much as we can. I mean, you know, from dealing

124
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: with Prop forty seven, which passed, because a lot of

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: times people are not paying attention to really what's going on.

126
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: Because they see one line at the top that says

127
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: safe neighborhood and Schools Act, and they don't know what's

128
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: going to lead to a massive epidemic of fevery shopless right.

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: Right that we need to you me, John Phillips, Jen Horne,

130
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: A lot of good people need to constantly actively educate

131
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: individuals about what these policies are doing to us here

132
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and how we're all impacted by a

133
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: lot of these laws that are created, and you know,

134
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: it constantly makes our community more and more unsafe, and

135
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: so we have to constantly actively do that. We need

136
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: more good leaders to step forward and not be afraid

137
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: to challenge the status quo and not be afraid to

138
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 2: represent our community and what's happening in our community. We

139
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: need people to do that, and so those things are important.

140
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: I'm not going anywhere. I'd love to be on your

141
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: show anytime. Probably definitely forward to trying to overturn Prop

142
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: forty seven and make our community safer as well.

143
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, because to go back to what you said, I

144
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: always tell people, you know, the enemy is not the

145
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: other side politically, it's the apathetic people. It's the people

146
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: not aware of what's going on in the world and

147
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: they wonder why things are the way they are. It's

148
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: because a lot of people aren't paying attention. They're squirrelling TikTok,

149
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: they're not reading and learning about the real world very much.

150
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: And you're right, you know, the great thing about at

151
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: least I think my campaign is. I'm a Democrat. I

152
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: know John Phillips is a Republican. Jenn Horne is a Republican.

153
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: Mike Garciatons my congressman, as a Republican. We brought a

154
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: lot of Democrats and Republicans together for the common good,

155
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: which is, we want to make our children safer. We

156
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: want to make our community safer. We want to make

157
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: sure people who commit crimes are actually held accountable for

158
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: those crimes. We want the DA to do the job

159
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: of the DA. We want to support our police officers

160
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: make sure that they're safe. Those are common goals that

161
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: I think Republicans and Democrats have. I hope people see that.

162
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't think enforcing the law that we've all agreed

163
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: on is should be a political controversy. You know, we

164
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: have a legislature, we have a governor. We have collectively

165
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: agreed these are the laws, these are the penalties, this

166
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: is what we want prosecuted. Just do it unless the

167
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: public wants to change, right.

168
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: I mean, law and order is not a bad thing.

169
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: Prosecuting crime if you're the DA is not a bad thing.

170
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: Police officers arresting people who are committing crimes is not

171
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: a bad thing. I think somehow some people have made

172
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: that a bad thing. It's not. If you commit crimes,

173
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: then we need to do something about that. If you

174
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: hurt somebody, we need to hold you accountable for that.

175
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: If you are doing bad things and committing hate crimes,

176
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: or committing theft, or committing organized retail theft, or you know,

177
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: victimizing others, we need to do something about it and

178
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: make sure that we fight for the people who can't

179
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: fight for themselves. And those aren't bad things. Following the

180
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: law and supporting our police officers aren't bad things. Those

181
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 2: are all good things. And so you know, I'm going

182
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 2: to continue to lead, and I'm going to continue to

183
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: speak out, and I'm definitely going to continue to fight

184
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: for children, especially children are hurt or abused. And I'm

185
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: also going to continue to fight for our foster care

186
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: system because we have a lot of foster kids, you know,

187
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: who need homes, John And I think that's the way

188
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: to change things is not release people after they murder

189
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 2: and rape somebody, but try to help kids before that.

190
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: All right, Jonathan, welcome anytime if you've got an issue

191
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: or a case and you want to talk about it.

192
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: On the air. You want to get people interested in something.

193
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: If there's another atrocity committed by guests going this year,

194
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: please you're welcome to come on with us anytime.

195
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, John. I hope you and your

196
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: viewers are safe and let's unite to get him out

197
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: of office.

198
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: All right, Jonathan and Tommy, thank you for coming on.

199
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: More coming up.

200
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

201
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: six forty.

202
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Well, we've had a lot of airplane and Boeing news

203
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: today because there was another well there's bout half a

204
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: dozen bizarre incidents in the last week, most of them

205
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: involving Boeing planes. And the latest one that got international

206
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: headlines was this plane that was flying between New Zealand

207
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: and Australia and it suddenly dropped down five hundred feet

208
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: nose dived and everybody in the plane who didn't have

209
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: a seatbelt on hit the roof. Literally their heads and

210
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: their bodies smacked up against the roof and stayed up

211
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: there as long as the plane was going down, and

212
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: thirteen people ended up going into the hospital banging their heads,

213
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: twisting their necks. The pilots said that their gauges suddenly

214
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: went blank on the dashboard. At the same time, The

215
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal released a story today on how even

216
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: the CEO of Boeing admits that their production process has

217
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: got huge problems because when a plane is put together

218
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: piece by piece, it sits at one production station, the

219
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: crew does the work and it goes on to the

220
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: next station and then the next one. Well, if there's

221
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: some issue at a production station, they send it on

222
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: anyway and they'll fix what they have to fix somewhere

223
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: down the road. Because they can't block the production line.

224
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: The planes have to keep moving. They have to keep moving,

225
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: and if one particular plane has a problem, they don't

226
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: stop and say, Okay, we shut the line down until

227
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: we fix the problem. No, let's keep it moving. Keep

228
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: it moving. Planes are parked outside in a lot outside

229
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: the factory with serious issues. But we'll get to it later.

230
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: Now this the headline. I'm going to read this from

231
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: the BBC. This just came over at less than an

232
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: hour ago. Boeing whistleblower found dead. A former Boeing employee

233
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: known for raising concerns about the production standards has been

234
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: found dead. He'd worked for thirty two years. John Barnett's name.

235
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: He retired in twenty seventeen. In the days before his death,

236
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: he was giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against Boweing

237
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: sixty two years old. They claim he died from a

238
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: self inflicted gunshot wound two days ago Saturday. And this

239
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: was in Charleston County. I don't know where that is.

240
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: He worked as quality manager at the North Charleston plant

241
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: from twenty ten to twenty seventeen, making the seven eighty

242
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: seven Dreamliner, which is the plane that took the nose

243
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: dive Right in twenty nineteen, he told the BBC that

244
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: the workers were under such pressure that they were deliberate,

245
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: deliberately fitting substandard parts to the aircraft. On the production line,

246
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: he uncovered serious problems with the oxygen systems, which meant

247
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: one in four breathing masks would not work in a

248
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: number urgency. He said, oh, this is in South Carolina.

249
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: Soon after starting work, he was concerned that the push

250
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: to get new aircraft built meant the assembly process was rushed,

251
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: safety was compromised. He told the BBC workers had failed

252
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: to follow procedures to track components through the factory. This

253
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: is very, very similar to the Wall Street Journal article

254
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: this morning, So defective components would go missing. In some cases,

255
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: the substandard parts were removed from scrap bins and fitted

256
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: on planes that were being built so there'd be no

257
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: delays in the production line. So these are parts that

258
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: were already considered bad, unbelievable, threw them out in a

259
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: trash bin. They retrieved them from the scrap bin and

260
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: put them on the planes anyway because they had to

261
00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: keep it moving. The emergency oxygen systems on the seven

262
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: eighty seven Dreamliner showed a failure rate of twenty five percent.

263
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: He told managers. No action was taken. Boeing denied everything. Eventually,

264
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: an FAA did uphold some of mister Barnett's concerns. They

265
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: found fifty three non conforming parts in the factory and

266
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: they were considered lost. But I don't think they were lost.

267
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: I think these were the fifty three parts that were

268
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: put on the planes. And eventually they admitted that some

269
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: of the oxygen bottles were not deploying properly. Then he

270
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: had this lawsuit going on because he accused Boeing of

271
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: denigrating his character and hampering his career because he was whistleblowing,

272
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: and he was still giving depositions. Last week he had

273
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday, he did

274
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: not appear. They went to his hotel. He was found

275
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: dead in his truck in the hotel parking lot. But

276
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: this is like, this is like Russian stuff. This is

277
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: mafia's stuff.

278
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: Unless I'm going to play devil's advocate here. He's under

279
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 4: so much pressure and he just couldn't take it anymore.

280
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: His life was ruined and he just didn't want to

281
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 4: go on.

282
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: Right. Either either Boeing killed him directly or he killed himself.

283
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: Because of either way, he's not going to be testifying, right.

284
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Boeing lawyers are not unhappy because there's

285
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: nothing it's very rare. But there's nothing more dangerous than

286
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: a guy who won't stop telling the truth, right, because

287
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: if you tell enough truth, it's just going to overwhelm

288
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: the other side. You know, they could they could try

289
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: to spin it, they could try to discredit you. But

290
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: if you keep coming with the goods.

291
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: Just trying to save people's lives.

292
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: I never thought it was this bad. This is this

293
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: is really this is really tough stuff. It really is,

294
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: And you know, the Wall Street Journal article today was

295
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: pretty scary because all the incentives were to keep the

296
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: production line going, and now the CEO is saying they're

297
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: going to change that, that they're going to get bonus

298
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: money based on the quality of the planes. I mean,

299
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: who knew, right, they actually had an incentive program that

300
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: incentivized you overlooking trouble, the kind of trouble that he's

301
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: talking about here, bad parts on a plane.

302
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 4: How do those people? I know, I sound like a

303
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 4: broken record, but how do those people keep their jobs?

304
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean serious? Well, if everybody's doing it everything, Now.

305
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: We know that there was a mandate, basically there was, right,

306
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: So whoever started that mandate, whoever encouraged.

307
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: That out, all right, you have issued a decree I

308
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: have we gotta do news doubt. There you go, it's

309
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: been seconded.

310
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM

311
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 3: six forty.

312
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: We're on the radio one until fourth and after four

313
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand the podcast. There is

314
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: this relentless desire on the part of all these left

315
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: wing progressive governments to give money away to people who

316
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: are really are complete failures. At living a normal life,

317
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: who can't master the basics of holding a job and

318
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: paying the rent, which really isn't that hard because there's

319
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of people that do it in America

320
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: every day. It's not that hard. And I don't think

321
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: it takes any special intellect or talent or education simply

322
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: to hold a job so you can pay the rent

323
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: and buy food. And I realized the left wing reason

324
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: to be is to redistribute money, penalize people who are successes,

325
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: penalize people who work hard. They hate capitalism, they hate

326
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: people who own property, They hate you know, wealthy people.

327
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: How you get an obsession like that, I don't know.

328
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: You know, I understand what makes up their philosophy. I

329
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: don't understand how they get there, and I don't understand

330
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: why they keep trying stupid programs that fail. All Right,

331
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: have at it. Go ahead, give a lot of tax

332
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: money away to people who are whacked out on drugs,

333
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: who can't hold a job. Let's see what happens. Oh,

334
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: look at that. They're still whacked out on drugs. They're

335
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: still living in a tent. So maybe the money doesn't

336
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: fix the problem. But you know, I have to go

337
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: back to they want to penalize me because I get

338
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: up in the morning, go to work and pay my bills.

339
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm bad. I mean, it's really a psychosis, isn't it.

340
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't get it. And nobody even tries to explain

341
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: this either. Well, here's a story. Sacramento. City of Sacramento

342
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: created Camp Resolution. It was a homeless encampment that had

343
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: spontaneously formed on a vacant lot on Colfax Street, and

344
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: instead of bulldozing the site, which was the original plan,

345
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: they decided they would give all the homeless people there

346
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: a lease. Well, they're described as the Camp residents. No,

347
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: these are vagrants and crazy people, right, Okay, the residents

348
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: and the activists went nuts. Wow, this was the first

349
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: of its kind. The homeless encampment could remain in place

350
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: and governed its governed itself without city interference. Yeah, let's

351
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: get a large group of drug addicts and mental patients

352
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: together and let them govern themselves. What could go wrong?

353
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: Other cities like San Jose said they're considering similar models.

354
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: So everybody's looking at Sacramento. Well, Sacramento has not opened

355
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: a second encampment. It is not handed out a second

356
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: lease and they're not going to the residents of the

357
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: camp still don't have electricity or running water. Well, of

358
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: course they don't. They set up their tents on an

359
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: empty lot. The license just allowed them to stay on

360
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: the lot. But you need a city to provide electricity

361
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: and running water, and you need taxpayers to fund that infrastructure.

362
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: Taxpayers go to work to pay the taxes. You can't

363
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: just sit there on the empty lot and expect what

364
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: We're going to bring you a water pipe and we're

365
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: going to bring you electrical lines. And now they're complaining.

366
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: They feel forgotten, and listen to this. This is a

367
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: cal matters. These troubles highlight the logistical and ethical dilemmas

368
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: that come with setting aside outdoor space for homeless residents.

369
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: Ethical dilemmas. What how about we make a deal and

370
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: everybody teach their kids this. Here's the deal on life.

371
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: You have to go to work every day, doesn't matter

372
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: what kind of job you do. Have to make a

373
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: certain amount of money, but you don't have to be

374
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos. You got to get up every day and

375
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: have a purpose, earn some money, keep most of it

376
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: for yourself, and then a little bit goes to keep

377
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: the city running, you know, infrastructure like electricity and water,

378
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: and then that's it. Why don't we give up at

379
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: all these rescue programs where we give them leases, we

380
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: give them checks, we give them food. The rule is

381
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: you get off the drugs and the booze, go get

382
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: mental health treatment, and you have to go to work. Period.

383
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: And because even in Sacramento, everybody's getting fed up with

384
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: the homelessness. This is like year seven, year eight of

385
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: this nonsense. In fact, the district attorney in Sacramento, in

386
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: the county, we've had him on the air. He's starting

387
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: to prosecute the government, prosecuting the city for allowing the

388
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: homeless encampments, but just letting them be, giving them a lease.

389
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: The history of camp resolution started in twenty twenty two.

390
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: Sharon and Joyce Jones, a married couple in their fifties,

391
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: found themselves homeless for the first time. Look, you're a couple,

392
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: you both work. There is zero percent chance you should

393
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: be homeless. There is no other answer. By the way

394
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna sound very repetitive, like a broken record.

395
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: There is no other choice other than, uh, you got

396
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: to go to work period, get off the drugs, Get

397
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: off the booze, we got the rehab programs. Go get

398
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: a job, because if they don't get a job, you

399
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: have to get a job to pay your taxes. I

400
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: have to get a job and pay taxes. Somebody's got

401
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: to work. I don't want to work for them. My

402
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: sympathy bucket is empty because I know, we all know

403
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: what the real problem is. There are a bunch of

404
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: addicts and they don't want to get any better. They

405
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:54,719
Speaker 1: don't even try. Then, then listen to this proposal. This

406
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: is a new bill in New York State. Inmates leaving

407
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: prison get twenty six hundred dollars to help them on

408
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: the way out, twenty six hundred dollars four hundred dollars

409
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: a month or six months. And as it currently stands

410
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: in the bill, there's no limitations how or where the

411
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: money can be spent. So we're giving them a six

412
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: month paycheck. Do whatever you want with it. Gee, what

413
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: do you think the prisoners are going to do? And

414
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: then in a year we're going to be told the

415
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: program did not work the way we expected it to.

416
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: They just never give up and all this fails. All

417
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: of it fails. Believe me, If there was a successful program.

418
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: They would have expended this program to every town, every city.

419
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: They would have increased the amount of money and the benefits.

420
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: None of these work. Because if you're just this pile

421
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: of sludge sitting there snorting and injecting drugs, drinking booze,

422
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: or you know your your brain does the crazy dance

423
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: every day, that's it. There's no fixing that in a

424
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: lot of cases, no amount of money.

425
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am

426
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: six forty.

427
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: I've been referencing the District Attorney's race from time to

428
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: time this afternoon because they're still counting votes. And I

429
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: went to the la No the New York Times website,

430
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: and only seventy percent of the vote's been counted. Seventy percent.

431
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: It's a week. And then I noticed a little asterisk

432
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: at the bottom and it says last latest results from March. Oh,

433
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: it's at the top, latest results from March ninth. March

434
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: ninth was Friday. They haven't counted any vote since Friday.

435
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 5: The County Registrar's office, Dean Logan's office. Nobody shows up

436
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 5: Saturday and Sunday twenty four hours twenty four to seven nobody.

437
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 5: They still got almost a third of the vote not counted.

438
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 5: Is incredibly stupid, but it looks like it's Gascon and Hawkman.

439
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 5: To be fair, I don't think even counting all the

440
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 5: votes is not going to change the final outcome. But

441
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 5: it's good to see that I'm not the only one

442
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 5: who thinks this should have been counted.

443
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, maybe by Wednesday. Richard Grennell, who has been

444
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: an ambassador Assembly bill of Sale from the Inland Empire,

445
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: and Carl Demo, well, he's down in the San Diego area.

446
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: He's running for Assembly and he's going to go on

447
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: to the runoff. They put together a joint statement and

448
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: said it's been six days since Californian's voted. It's an

449
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: outrage that the Secretary of State of California has yet

450
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: to finish the vote counting. What could possibly be taking

451
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: so long? It used to be the morning after at

452
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: the latest we'd know, and what they put in their

453
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: This is the question, how can we trust a system

454
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: that's only counted about two thirds of the vote after

455
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: seven days, where it looks like nobody shows up to

456
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: work weekends. The longer they have the vote, the more

457
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: suspicious it is the more you start to wonder what's

458
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes. I think that second Gascone recall,

459
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: there was something terribly suspicious about it. And now they

460
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: passed a bill and NWSOM signed this. This is all

461
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: newsome because he took advantage of the COVID panic and

462
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: they passed an executive Well, he passed an executive order

463
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: mandating a vote by mail, and then he made it

464
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: permanent in twenty twenty one. And listened to the way

465
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: he spun it, States across our country continue to enact

466
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: undemocratic voter suppression laws. Oh, requiring somebody to show up

467
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: in person is voter suppression. You see how he inverted

468
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: the language there, saying, hey, it's wide open here thirteen hours,

469
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: just show up and vote. Oh, that's voter suppression. And

470
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: then he signed an Assembly bill that required a mail

471
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: in ballot. He sent to every registered voter in the state,

472
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: and it gives everybody thirty days to count the votes.

473
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: So of course they're going to go real slowly. Conway's here, Hey, now,

474
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: did you watch the oscars. I was driving, I was

475
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: in Arizona going to school. I saw the very end

476
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: of the rerun by time I got home those quarter

477
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: to eleven.

478
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I taped it and then i'd ask forwarded through

479
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 6: a lot of enterror.

480
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is odd. My interest hit zero about ten

481
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: years ago. It never came back.

482
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 6: I wonder if that's starting to become over you know,

483
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 6: where you elevate people on a level that are really

484
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 6: you know.

485
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: They're acting. I don't know.

486
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 6: Look, I understand, you know, honoring a guy who has

487
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 6: the most points in the NBA, or as the most

488
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 6: NFL championships or hit most home runs. I get that

489
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 6: because that guy worked his ass off from age three

490
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 6: or four for his entire life and had to be

491
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 6: very disciplined in what he did and what he didn't

492
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 6: do to get to that level.

493
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 1: But acting, I it's you know, it's just something I

494
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: feel like I grew out of. Right, Like I'm watching

495
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: adults play pretend.

496
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 6: So remember when you were a kid and you put

497
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: on a show for mom and dad.

498
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not what they're doing just with money. Yeah,

499
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: I know, they're dressing up and affecting voices and reading

500
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: a script. I didn't actually see. The thing is, when

501
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: I look at them, maybe it's me. Maybe I'm just

502
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: whacked out. I just I just look at them acting.

503
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, look like he memorized some lines. He's

504
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: playing pretend, right, And it's just.

505
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 6: Just And by the way, when they get up there

506
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 6: to present an award, they're acting, and when they received

507
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 6: the award, they're acting.

508
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: Their whole lives are acting. I guess you know, you're

509
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: either into it or not. Yeah, and everybody's into basketball either,

510
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right.

511
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 6: But at least in basketball and football, baseball, hockey, they're

512
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 6: doing something you can't do.

513
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: I think it's the enormous self regard they all have.

514
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: Okay for this, that's really off putting, that's right. Yeah,

515
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: that's probably it.

516
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 6: But you know, I feel bad for the people put

517
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 6: together that Barbie movie. They made the most amount of

518
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 6: money and they nominated for I don't know eight nine

519
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 6: awards whatever, and it only got Best Song, which isn't

520
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 6: even a movie award. It should be a Grammy award.

521
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 6: They all got paid well, but they took advantage of

522
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 6: Barbie's audience. They nominated it for seven or eight awards

523
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 6: to get those people to watch, and then they screwed

524
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 6: them out of every award.

525
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I was in the target demo on

526
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: that one.

527
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 6: I don't think you're worried. Now, did you see Barbie?

528
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 6: Did you see Oppenheimer?

529
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

530
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 6: And I found boring. It's a lot like Barbie long Oppenheimer.

531
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: And I didn't the timeline just I like things to

532
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: have a beginning, middle and end.

533
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 6: It was three and a half hours that show. You

534
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 6: could have flown to Cleveland in that time. I'm not

535
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 6: a movie critic type. I mean, you know, Ken was

536
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 6: Ken was great with the movie. People like to watch

537
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 6: what they want to watch. But you asked me an

538
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 6: independent question. Zero interest in Barbie. I thought I'd be

539
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 6: into Oppenheimer.

540
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: It went on for like three and a half days

541
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: too long, out of order, and like the whole story

542
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: was backwards. I can't follow it. I what a fun

543
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: guy to go to the movies. Yeah, I'm not your

544
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: movie day.

545
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 6: My mom would go to the movies and we went

546
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 6: to see that movie Get Shorty. I was my mom

547
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 6: and she in this loud of voice. They had a

548
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 6: mini van that they used in the movie, and this

549
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 6: loud of voice in a pack theater turned to me

550
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 6: and said, you know, I have that van at home,

551
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 6: Like what the Christ?

552
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: First of all, who cares.

553
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: And why would that be something you picked up on

554
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 6: this movie that you have a country van or a

555
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 6: country wide van or little.

556
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Glitchen Mom's brain there, I have a van like that, Tim, Like,

557
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on here? It's going out

558
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,080
