1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: We'd like to formally welcome you to the rest home

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: of old Joe. Welcome to Bidenville. Everyone, oh many who

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: were created by go you know that you know the

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: thing there's a man on the moon or whoever, you

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: know something or you know whether those aliens are here

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: or not. I commuted for thirty six years as president

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: vice president United States. A lot of the folks, and

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Amtrak became my family. Not a joke that was on

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: a television of television. I was on the telephone and

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: every time I hear hail of the chief, under where

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: the hell is he turned around? And where where's the

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: where's the president? What? I can't remember it? I was

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: a foot excuse me, the foothills of the Himla with

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Jiji Pinn for Secretary of Health and Educations. I nominated

15
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Javier Baccaria. President Harris is a proud howard of them.

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Let's Joe Brandon. I agree. I got them one point

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: nine jillion dollars relief so far. Cluptocker, Yeah. Cleptocracy, the

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: guys who are in a cleptocracy. Representative Jackie, you're here, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie,

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: hold up your hand. Became a tour of Bidenville before

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: your extended stay years John and Ken. Eighty one million votes,

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: that's what he got in twenty twenty. Yeah, is that?

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: Is that the most ever by a presidential candidate. Can

23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: you imagine eighty one million people voted for a scene? Now, guy,

24
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: this is like, this is a low point in American history.

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: This is the bottom right, I put fourth that forty

26
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: million of that was Trump haters at least start, but

27
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: at least there are a lot of other choices in

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: those part. They're trying real hard to get eighty one

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: million people to vote again in these mid terms, which

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: they will not succeed at. But that's really what was

31
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,919
Speaker 1: going on then, I know, but particularly apparently young people

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: came out in big numbers in twenty twenty, more than

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: they normally do. But they're not gonna do that this time,

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, they don't. A lot of people don't care

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: about mid term elections. They had a lot of other

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: choices though. It wasn't there like fifteen other people running

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: for president on the Democratic side that they had a

38
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: huge number before he got the nomination. They didn't have

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: to pick him. Yeah, that's also a mystery. Yeah, I

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, there are there were people and

41
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: they're their forties and fifties, and well, I think the

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: fix was in the party thought this is the only

43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: one of them that can beat Trump. Well yeah, but

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: it's regular people who vote. This is the regular people

45
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: voted for this. It's not the thing they fixed it.

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: It's all fixed, it rigged. Yeah, come on, get on board.

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: If you're an election denier, maybe I think they're all phony.

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: We've never had a legitimate president. Sorry, all of them

49
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: are not my president. That's right. It's like I don't

50
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: want a president. All right? Did Johnny ken Schell and

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: KFI coming up that keyword? John? You're gonna be ready

52
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: with the instructions? Oh? Absolutely sure. You know I care

53
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: more about this than life itself. You have a chance

54
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: to win the inflation bonus cash shed around four twenty,

55
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: Big news, John, Big News, breaking news. Are you hanging

56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: on tomorrow at this very time? Rick Caruso? I know,

57
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: I think Rick Caruso is going to be on the

58
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: show between four and four thirty tomorrow. That's right. We

59
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: got him for two segments. And today it came out

60
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: from the LA Daily News three point lead over Karen

61
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Basch forty to thirty seven about it be real? Could

62
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: it be one thing? I know we're not going to

63
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: know the winner an election night, not to wait for

64
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: those ballots to keep coming in the mail. That's right.

65
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: I gotta wait for the ballot harvesting. As the time

66
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: says it could be election month. It's great, take till

67
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: the end of November. The system, Yeah, the gallot system's good.

68
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Remember what happened in June. He was winning and then

69
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later he's ahead quite a bit too.

70
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: You know, um I am. It's gonna be a test here.

71
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that people are looking around and they're saying, boy,

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: this really sucks. Life sucks in LA. Can't do worse, right,

73
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I hope? So this is bottom. We need there to

74
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: be a change somewhere, and I hope it's the mayors.

75
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: And if you're not familiar, Karen Bass's two best political

76
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: buddies are not making this up, no joke. Mike Bonnen

77
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: and George Gascone. They're there, their same generation and uh

78
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: but Bonnen was her favorite city councilman and Gascone the

79
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: DA and they were first on board. At her campaign kickoff,

80
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: she had them featured prominently as endorsers. They came to

81
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: watch her give her introduction speech when she declared her candidacy,

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: and the three of them, they're all the same. So

83
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: if you if you like the way La looks Karen Bass,

84
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: and you know what, maybe she'll give your kid a

85
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: free USC scholarship. Who knows, no good one. But if

86
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: you're looking around for something different, Yeah, that scholarship story

87
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: went dark, didn't it, well, Shirt, because no one will

88
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: provided some phony application thing to the to radio, a

89
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: news station and that was the end of it. But

90
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: apparently was because they were all in the tank for her.

91
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: All the most of the media's in the tank for her.

92
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: That's why, all right, we're in Bidenville because well, back

93
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: in March, Old Joe authorized up to one hundred and

94
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: eighty million barrels of oil to be released from the

95
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: US Strategic Petroleum Reserve USPR for short. He has just

96
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: authorized the last fifteen million to go. The sales will

97
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: happen in December, so the reserve is half full, that's right, right,

98
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: So if there's if they're some kind of horrible emergency,

99
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: some nuclear war breaks out, then we need oil, and

100
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: we need oil. Yeah, if the oil distribution chain breaks

101
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: down somehow, and we've seen the supply chain sees up.

102
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: You know, just a what if nukes fly around destroy

103
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: all sorts of oil fields? That's right. What if putin

104
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: bombs all the oil drilling apparatus out in the Gulf

105
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: of Mexico. No, okay, okay, all this can happen, and

106
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: that's why we have an oil reserve, and now it's

107
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: half gone. Because the reporters asked Biden the obvious, we're

108
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: two weeks from the mid term elections. Are you really

109
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: just doing this to try to make the American people

110
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: think you're doing something about gas prices? Here we go,

111
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: gas prices are coming down. We're going to do everything

112
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: we can to make sure they continue to come down

113
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: and companies act responsibly. So it's reflected at the pump.

114
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: Thank you all, and man, God bless you, and may

115
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: God protect our troops. Thank you, appreciate you. Can you speak?

116
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: What is your response to Republicans who say you are

117
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: only doing this spr release to help Democrats of the

118
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: mid terms? Where have they been the last four months?

119
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: That's my response, MS. Look, it makes sense. I've been

120
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: doing this for how long now, So it's not politically

121
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: motivated at all. It's motivated to make sure that I

122
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: continue to push on what I've been pushing on, and

123
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: that is making sure there's enough oil that's being pumped

124
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: by the companies so that we have the ability to

125
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: be able to produce enough gas that we need here

126
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: at home, oil we need here at home, and at

127
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: the same time keep moving in the direction of providing

128
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: for alternative energy. That's what I've been doing. Now. The

129
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: problem is these guys are asleep. I don't know where

130
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: they've been, and they seem you know, the price at

131
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: the pump should reflect what the price of a barrel

132
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: of oil costs, and it's not going down consistently. Hmm,

133
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, Oh go ahead, no, no, no, I what

134
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: releasing fifteen million barrels is less than a day's supply

135
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: of oil. United States burns more than that, closer to

136
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: twenty million a day. So I don't understand what all

137
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: the whoop is about here. It's it's less than a

138
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: day's worth of oil. That's not going to have an

139
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: effect on anything. What does it matter. It's symbolic. It

140
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: is symbolic, and and and it's silly, and everybody knows

141
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: the whole thing is silly. That's why I can't stand

142
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: the reporters, and I certainly can't stand all his horse maneure.

143
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: It's like this is this is a non event. Now,

144
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: Biden has authorized the government to begin purchasing oil to

145
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: replenish the reserve, but he wants to wait until the

146
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: price of oil goes down. It's about ninety dollars of barrel. Now.

147
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: Biden has ordered the replenishment of new oil when the

148
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: price falls below seventy two dollars a barrel. But what

149
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: if that doesn't happen in a very short time, then

150
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to pay ninety or one hundred and

151
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: ten or whatever the price is at the time. The

152
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner had a story today that back in March

153
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, Trump wanted to fill the reserve to

154
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: maximum capacity, and they wanted to buy seventy seven million

155
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: barrels and oil was cheap at the time, right there

156
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: was the big crash after the shutdown, twenty four dollars

157
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: a barrel. It was oil was going for twenty four

158
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: dollars a barrel. Wow, And so he could fill the

159
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: reserve tank up to the top for a cheap price,

160
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: and the Democrats in the Senate blocked it. What they

161
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: did is they went to their bag of propaganda tricks

162
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: and said, Wow, this is a three billion dollars bailout

163
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: for big oil, a bailout for the oil in industry.

164
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: We hate fossil fills. Don't do this. So instead of

165
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: buying it for twenty four dollars a barrel, they are

166
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: now going to buy it for seventy two dollars a barrel,

167
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: triple the price, except the price is actually ninety a barrel.

168
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Ninety they're gonna have to pay instead of twenty four.

169
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: Do we know where the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is? Is

170
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: it like a big hole in the ground somewhere with

171
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of oil in it? Or I don't know

172
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: where it is? And is it literally all in one place?

173
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Or is it just probably not because then, because then

174
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: that's where you'd fire the nuke, right, Yes, I guess

Speaker 1: going to ruin it for people. I don't do that.

223
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Coming up after four thirty. Oh, it's all about California's

224
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: most wonderful progressive city. Not in La San Francisco. Another

225
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: big retailer is announced we're pulling out. The mayor took

226
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: a stand today about people working from home because the

227
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: city's really emptying out. I'm not kidding you. Oh. Literally,

228
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: stores are closing up, presidents are moving. It's it is

229
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: going to be some sort of dystopian future where it's

230
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: just homeless people wandering around rug addicts. You know, it's

231
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: already here, man, it is. I took that sixth Avenue

232
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: exit a few weeks ago in San Francisco, and that's

233
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: the end of the universe there. We're gonna be up

234
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: there this weekend. Another firsthand report. Take the sixth Avenue

235
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: exit off the two eight. All right, So the breaking

236
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: news this afternoon is that Kevin Leone, the city count sleman,

237
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: has broken his silence. He would not take Mitchell Farrell's

238
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: calls that was pointed out by Mitchell Farrell. I've talked

239
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: to Gil Sadio. I cannot reach Kevin Leone. That's pretty good,

240
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: I know, because he was giving you the finger because

241
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: guess Mitchell Farrell is such a weader. Well, and time

242
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: the city council president is over. I want you to

243
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: resign for the good of the city so that we

244
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: all can heal. They shut up, waterer' you've opened a

245
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: big wound. It's bleeding. We need to band aid. Yeah,

246
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: it's a bleeding, it's oozing. There's puss coming out. Come on.

247
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: So last hour, the news is that he's going to

248
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: be on Univision tonight. Uh, but we just found out

249
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: he did talk to CBS two Tom Waite in English.

250
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: In English. All right, that's here we go. I have

251
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: to do the hard work. I have to repair. I

252
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: have to help heal. Oh, I have to help restore

253
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: the store's rolling up my sleeves and engaging with my constituents.

254
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: That means engaging with the communities that were deeply paining.

255
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: Do you think you know? That's my hope. It's my

256
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: hope that they will engage with that dialogue because we

257
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: have to heal together. We can't heal at the exclusion,

258
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, of those who don't cause the pain. We

259
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: have to heal help, we have to help move forward together.

260
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: We have to heal together. What's the first step? I mean,

261
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, how like what does that look like? Is it?

262
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: Does it mean reaching out to certain knows. I've reached

263
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: out to various leaders and organizations. I still have, as

264
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: you can imagine, a long list to still call to,

265
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: to reach out, to have the dialogue, to have those

266
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: parts to listen. Nobody in real life like this, you know,

267
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: repair the pain that's in our community, the pain. Have

268
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: you spoken with with Nurray Martinez or with with Gilsey.

269
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance of speping or or Ronderera.

270
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I have not spoke going on around um Tom. When

271
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: you look at sort of the the the macro here

272
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: and you're talking about sort of reaching out to different organizations,

273
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: how do you expect to be received when you reach out? Ooh,

274
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: I think there'll be a lot of pain because the

275
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: conversations that I've already have begun, there's pain, confusion. That's

276
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: not the leader who I've always been. You should take it,

277
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: but I failed, and I recognize that I failed during

278
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: that moment that it didn't step right. This was the

279
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: only time. It's not going to be easy. It's gonna

280
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: be hard as it should be. I know it's going

281
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: to be hard, and that's why I don't. I'm not

282
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: going to mince words or I'm not going to to deflect,

283
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: deflect blame. I think your constituents and the people watching this,

284
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: I want to know what's in your heart. Right, who's

285
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: the real Kevin? Now you heard it, wad stop stop

286
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: a second. That is the real Kevin de Leone Because

287
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: he thought it was a private conver say so it

288
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: was a moment of weakness. It wasn't. He wasn't being

289
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: he didn't know he was being recorded. That's the real guy.

290
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: That's how he talks all day every day. What what

291
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: what is with this? Meaning? Mouth to interview? Anyway, I

292
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: would have said, Nori Martinez resigned, Why aren't you resigning?

293
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: I would have These questions were not tough. It was

294
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: just open ended so we could sit there and talk

295
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: about healing and engaging. Everything is about healing and pain,

296
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: pain and healing. So what he's made the point he's

297
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: not quitting because he wants it to be part of

298
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: the healing and engaging to move us forward. What isn't

299
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: The reporter asked, Hey, does the four hundred thousand dollars

300
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: have anything to do with it? Oh? Yeah, the money

301
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: the company, it's I think two hundred and seven, two

302
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: hundred and seven thousand pay benefits. You're you're ending up

303
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: for four hundred fourteen thousand in cash plus medical benefits

304

306
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: That's why he's not quitting. He's unemployed right now. If

00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: he was in the private sector, what would you hire

308
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: him for? What would you want him to do? What

309
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,200

327
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: is the first English language interview that Kevin Leone has done.

328
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: The La City councilman who will not resign has finally

329
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: gone public. He did an interview with Univision that airs later,

330
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: and we have a clip from his interview with CBS

331
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: two's Tom Waite that we've been playing. And as John said,

332
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: you missed the first couple of minutes, it's a lot

333
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: about engaging and healing. Yes, by the way, he did

334
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: say I don't know if we have this in the

335
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: next two minutes that she failed in his leadership. He

336
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: didn't step up and intervene. I didn't put a stop

337
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: to it talking about Nouri Martin. Nobody comments about Mike

338
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: Bonden's son. Nobody does. And I apologize for his flippant

339
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: remark about the child was like a handbag. Yeah that part, Yeah,

340
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: he made that Louis Vuitton comment. Right, And what about

341
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: the Wizard of Oz thing, the Wizard of Oz. Yes,

342
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: that they're really compared, right, nothing behind the curtain. Black

343
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: activists who make a lot of noise that are really

344
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: that man. And they have a disproportionate amount of influence

345
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: on the city hall. All right, so we haven't in

346
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes of this interview. Let's keep listening

347
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: at that moment where I should have stepped up. But

348
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: that's not who I am. That's not my moral compass,

349
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: that's not what guides me. That's not a reflection of

350
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: my value value thinking. John says, it was like when

351
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: you heard her say that the comment about the sunner,

352
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: and then you made the follow up joke. What was

353
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: what was happening here? I made a flipping remark you know,

354
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: that I should have never made. You know, I was

355
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: both in shock and at the same time I made

356
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: the flipping remark that I should never have made him.

357
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have made that flipping remark. But people know

358
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: me for my commitment, my dedication for standing up for

359
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: those I have little or no voice, for standing up

360
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: and protecting the most marginalized, the most vulnerable society on

361
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: a whole variety of issues. That's where I'm dedicated active

362
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: absolutely as way, whoa, whoa, whoa, We'll stop stop wait wait,

363
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: well that's his name Tom. Wait wait roll that back.

364
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: What's the reporter jumping in the idea of issues? That's

365
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: where I'm dedicated absolutely, have as as don't do that slabbering.

366
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: Oh that was a knob slabber. That's a tongue bat there,

367
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: tongue batter. Wall your toe back in your mouth now,

368
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: should have done last question and feel free to add

369
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: any of you like you touched on it before. We

370
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: kind of discussed at the issue of staying. You know,

371
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: you want to represent the people who voted for you.

372
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: I hear you, but why not let somebody else do

373
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: that at this point? Why not let get rid of

374
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: the distraction of what you're going through and let another

375
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: person represent your constituents, because right now it might be

376
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: very difficult. You've been stripped of your community assignments and

377
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: city council. So now why not would it be better

378
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: for someone else to represent those constituents. I have an

379
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: incredible staff that loves the district just as much as

380
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: I do, and I have incredible support skid Rock constituents

381
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: within the district in CD fourteen. I've got to do

382
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: the hard work. I've got to repair and I got

383
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: to help it heal. I have to help regain the

384
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: trust of my colleagues on the council and so many

385
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: members within the district and outside of the district. That's

386
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: a hard work that I'm prepared to do, all right,

387
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: anything else, I think somebody right there? All right? All

388
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: he So does this mean he's going to start going

389
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: online and joining the meetings or how are they going

390
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: to handle that? Tom? We wait? Was buried nose deep,

391
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: wasn't he? Yes? Wow, there was some elements of that.

392
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Oh well, he got the scoop right, no one else

393
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: would get. He must have a relationship with Lyone in

394
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: his office something. Was he holding Leone's hand when he

395
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: said everybody wants this interview? He got it? So? Oh

396
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: you have, oh you have what therapist? Would you? Cheez?

397
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: We do have more audio, guys. That's why I just

398
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: got from right, all right? Well, was he keep listening?

399
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: You know, we heard Gil Sadio say very clearly that

400
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: he wanted to carve up historic African American Mari Martinez

401
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: obviously said something absolutely vile. She had compared Mike Bonnen's

402
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: young black son to a little monkey at that point,

403
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean he sort of touched on this, but why

404
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: not say that's really horribly racist and non acceptable? To

405
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: get up and leave? I wish I was just shocked.

406
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I was completely shocked. You made a joke about her.

407
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, we should get the tape. We have

408
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: the clip. We have the clip of that. If you

409
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: could find see if he sounds like so much. I mean,

410
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: I can't be sure who's laughing, but I thought somebody laughed,

411
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: whether it's Sadio, Herrero or Le added onto it, right,

412
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: because then he was the one who made the Louis

413
00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: Vatton bag comment, what a co wastle phony. I was shock.

414
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: I was a shocking word not. These guys were all giggling.

415
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: They do this is what they do. This is what

416
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: people do. It's like the honest thing on the black

417
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: and brown on this floe. And then there's the white

418
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: guy with the little black kid who's misbehaves has no

419
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: he's yeah, no, they're doing the kids bouncing off the

420
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: fan wall, on the flow, the practically taking it over.

421
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do to control him. And I'm

422
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god. Yeah, they somebody made a

423
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: sound when she was saying bouncing off the walls, but

424
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: that guess saidn't make much noise when she used the slur. Yeah,

425
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: she said the word shagito shaquido at the end of it,

426
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: which is the term from monkey. Let's keep listening to

427
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: the DeLeon. Do we have any more? We have to

428
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: switch over Mary Martinez look about her something like a purse,

429
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: right less. I apologize to Mike Bonnen's family. Pro how

430
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: did that guy joke was directed towards her? And I'm

431
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: just curious when you did apologize to councilman Bottle, what

432
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: did he accept that apology? I call him um, I

433
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: got his voice, Smail. I left him a voice. Smail.

434
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: I was going to apologize publicly at the city council

436
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: He had that opportunity to do so, Um, but I

437
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: apologized profusely to Mike Bonnet. What was that moment in

438
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: council Like, I know you were there for a few

439
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: moments and councilor bonding him a very emotional speech on

440
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: the council floor. Did you speak with him at that

441
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: point or no? It was difficult because it was it

442
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,119

443
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,440

444
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: walk right up to him. Um. I stepped away towards

445
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: the back so it could calm down and the council

446
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: president at the time, the presiding officer could conduct the meeting.

447

Speaker 1: to go back to a council meeting at this point?

456
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: I have to do the hard work. I have to

457
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: regain the trust of my colleagues. It won't be easy,

458
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: I understand, and that's why the past week I've taken

459
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: a lot of reflection with my family, with my staffs,

460
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: one of my closest friends. Very very painful, very very

461
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: very painful. And I'm sorry to all of my colleagues.

462
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to my family, to my Bonden's family. Stop

463
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: all this over the Louis Vaton handbag joke. Yes, it

464
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: seems a little over the top and dramatic, isn't it.

465
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: Is that the worst of what he said? He just said,

466
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: what was a flipping comment? It's all right, it's a

467
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: flipping comment. And then I'm profusely sorry. I'm deeply, deeply sorry.

468
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: It's like we've stopped people like flipping comments all the time.

469
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: Just everything was performance theater. Now all right, Well, you

470
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: gotta take a break. You're listening to CBS two Tom

00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: the next week or so to get each side on

480
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: on the ballot measures. There are seven statewide ballot propositions.

481
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking to the no on Prop thirty

482
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: next hour, right after the news, and that's the one

483
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: will raise taxes on the wealthy to help get electric

484
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: cars to the lift drivers. That's really what it is. Yeah,

485
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: it's a big it's a big, multi billion dollar present

486
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: to lift It's really bizarre because they sponsored this and

487
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: they're going to get the greatest benefit from it. And

488
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: but you know, because it's a tax on the rich,

489
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: idiots will vote for it. Yeah. And the one ballot

490
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: measure that we agree with, Gavin Newsom, he's actually done

491
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: no on thirty ads. It's just kind of weird because

492
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: he's the rest of the Democrats apparently are in favor

493
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: of it, but he's not going on that ship. Is

494
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: this more about being president? You think? Or do we know?

495
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't understand any of this,

496
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: but it shows you how dumb the voters are. You're

497
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna have all these anti rich people voters vote for

498
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: the tax, and the money is going to go and

499
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: benefit some wealthy right share company funded by multibillion dollars

500
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: venture capitalists. It's going to increase the worth of the

501
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: stockholders of LYFT, and the ones who are in the

502
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: majority of the stock are the original investors. I mean,

503
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: that's who's going to benefit here. All right, we'll talk

504
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: about this after five o'clock. We've been playing audio. La

505
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: City Councilman Kevin Leone finally broke his silence when public

506
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: on Spanish language television and on CBS two with reporter

507
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: Tom Waite. You want to hear the essence of it.

508
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: It's repair, heal and restore. You know, I have to

509
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: do the hard work. That's why he's not resigning. Why

510
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: doesn't he apologize for skid row and all the death

511
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: and misery that he's allowed to have. See, no one

512
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: gets upset about the stuff that the rest of us

513
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: are truly upset about. Every want to upset. Everyone I

514
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: know is upset about the crime and the homelessness, and

515
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: this has been an entertaining side show for a week,

516
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: but it doesn't really impact anybody's life, right, The crime

517
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: of the homelessness actually impacts everyone's life. So I'm just

518
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: the same thing with the news media. The news media

519
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: is given like a hundred times the coverage just this

520
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: stupid story. Like you know, the La Times is running

521
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: like six eight stories a day sometimes, but the crime

522
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: and the homelessness nothing. But they did a story today

523
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: that you forwarded that because they spend so much time

524
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: on Trump, maybe they missed what's really going on in

525
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: city hall with not just this story but the corruption. Oh.

526
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had three city council people charged, right,

527
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: Mitch England there already served a jail term. Well, and

528
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: now there's a what's his name now? Anyway you get

529
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: my point? Yeah? Yeah. It was a story in the

530
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: La Times about how local TV reporters and anchors say that,

531
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, we should have been covering this all these years,

532
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: but we were covering Trump. And I looked at that

533
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, Trump has had no effect on

534
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: the day to day lives of people in southern California.

535
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't feel though that local news was covering Trump

536
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: a lot to you don't. I don't watch local news

537
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: that much. I don't know. This is this is the

538
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: words of the people in the business. Yeah, they were

539
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: interviewed in this story talking about their slant on news coverage,

540
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: and the ideas story is that they just missed here's

541
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: all the city hall craziness. Here's Conan Nolan from Channel

542
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: four and I like him, but and he says, there's

543
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: only so much politics you can put in a newscast.

544
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: And all the attention was on the train wreck in Washington.

545
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: Trump took up all the oxygen and there was a

546
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: d emphasis on what was happening in Sacramento and city Hall.

547
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: And if that's true of that, that's and look, clearly,

548
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: most of the stations in town don't cover the government

549
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: here in southern California or in Sacramento. And that's how

550
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: they get away. That's why they we have one party

551
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: government and they get away with murder. Yeah, you know,

552
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: and whoever does cover it, like the woke holes at

553
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: the Times support it all and and do propaganda. And

554
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: it's like Trump has had no effect on everybody's day

555
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: to day life here, you know, unless you got emotionally

556
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: involved with his Twitter feed but geez, all the decisions

557
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 1: that are setting in the city council made in La

558
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: County a tremendous effect. I mean a lot of people

559
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: have died. Yeah, But it's like I always say to

560
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: people and people who I meet who don't really know

561
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: our radio show because they don't live in La or California.

562
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: They always say, they saying, oh, I bet you talk

563
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: about Trump all the time. Even two years ago they

564
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: were saying that. Well, because that's that's what's on their

565
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: TV screen, because that's what TV news did. That's where

566
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: most people get their inputs or social media. Right, all

567
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: the idiots on social media who are arguing about Trump

568
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: for a six seven years now, but by everybody missing,

569
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: and meanwhile lunatics, crazy people are running the streets killing innocence.
