1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app and run from one 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: until four, and then after four o'clock we become a 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: podcast John Cobelt Show on demand. It's the same show. 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: It was no good the first time, it's no good 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: the second time. But if you want to listen to it, 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: whatever you missed after four o'clock gets posted on the 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: iHeart app. If you want the moist line, we got 9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: vacancy's eighty seven seven moist eighty six, eight seven seven 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: Moist eighty six and we're giving away one thousand dollars 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: in about fifteen minutes. So my brain is going the 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: way at Joe Biden. So I'm stumbling and bubbling right 13 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: before your news trying to figure out what to call. 14 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: It's deputy district attorneys. I called them assistant Will you 15 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: agreed with me? No, I didn't. 16 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 2: I heard the I heard the DA. 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard. 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 2: I thought I heard you say deputy DA's No, I. 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: Said assistant district attorneys. It's deputy district attorneys. Anyway, We're 20 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: going to have John McKinney, one of the deputy das. 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: He works for Gascone. They all do, and you know 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: there's an election coming up. It's a little over a 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: month from now. And this was an interesting poll of 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: all the Deputy das who would you vote for? And 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty five of them responded, about two 26 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: thirds of the total number, and about two thirds, said 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: John McKinney. I mean McKinny blew out the rest of 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: the field. Eric siddal I came in second with fifteen percent, 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: followed by Maria Ramirez, John and Tommy. George Gascone was 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: the choice of exactly six Deputy DA's. Six of them, 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: that's one point seven percent of the vote. We're going 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: to talk now to John McKinney, the winner of this 33 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: straw pole. This is not finding in any way, John, 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: How are. 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: You good afternoon? 36 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: John? 37 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on. 38 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: That says a lot because the Deputy DA's are almost 39 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: completely united against George Gascone and two thirds of them 40 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: want you to replace Gascone. How does that make you feel? 41 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: Are you surprised at how many support you? 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: I was surprised when I saw the significance of the 43 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: vote in my favor. Just incredibly honored and humbled and 44 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 3: grateful because this is a vote made by the people 45 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 3: that I work with every day, and they know me, 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: and they know a lot of the other candidates as 47 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: well as anybody in the County of Los Angeles. They 48 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: know the job that we do, and with all of 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: that information, they voted and overwhelmingly expressed their confidence in 50 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: my leadership. And I you know, it's a reward unto itself, 51 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: I'm very very happy. 52 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a number of current Deputy DA's and former 53 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: Deputy DA's on the list. I mean, I think a 54 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: majority of the candidates either used to be or currently 55 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: You work as a Deputy DA. So what just to 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: flatter yourself, because you know I don't work there. I 57 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: don't know what makes you so wonderful in the work environment. 58 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: You're a great guest on our show. So what is 59 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: it do you think you do that it's giving you 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: so much support from the other deputies. 61 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a testament to how hard I've 62 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: worked over more than two decades. I think it's an 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 3: appreciation for the skill that I bring to the job. 64 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: But probably more than anything else, it's a reflection of 65 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: the fact that I treat people very well. You know, 66 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: and I am always good natured and I'm always respectful. 67 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: I'm sort of known to be unflappable, even when I'm 68 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: in trial on a high profile, pressure filled case. I 69 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: always have time for people, you know. I just do 70 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: right by people. And if you're asking a group of 71 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 3: men and women like those we have in the dav office, 72 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: who would they like to work for and who do 73 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: they have the most confidence in, They're going to choose 74 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 3: somebody like that over somebody who they're less sure about. 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, how's a campaign going? I mean, I imagine 76 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: you are not only working, but you're out there constantly 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: meeting with groups, doing question and answers, debates, having to 78 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: raise money in the whole routine. What's it been like. 79 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 3: It's a roller coaster, you know. On any given day, 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 3: you get good news, you get some not so good news, 81 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 3: and it's just a constant the stream of ups and downs. 82 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 3: But what I love about it, and it's increasingly true 83 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 3: every day of the energy that surrounds the campaign, we 84 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 3: have real momentum building in our campaign. Today we announced 85 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 3: the endorsement of the mayor of Santa Clarita, the third 86 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: largest city in the county of Los Angeles. We have 87 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: a number of law enforcement organizations that have endorsed my campaign. 88 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: I have members from the black community, real civic and 89 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: business leaders in the community who have endorsed my campaign, 90 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 3: major labor union and asked me thirty ninety. I think 91 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: all of that, along with the vote of the men 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 3: and women who work for the Diego office, shows a 93 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 3: cross section of support in my candidacy. And I got 94 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: to tell you, John, I'm really trying to get people 95 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 3: to focus on not just who to vote for in 96 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: the primary, but who has the best chance of beating 97 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: Gascon one on one in a general election. And people 98 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: have to kind of look past the primary and see 99 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 3: the bigger picture. There are some candidates in this race 100 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 3: who look pretty good in the short term, but who 101 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: will have a very difficult time beating Gascon on one 102 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: on one in November. 103 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: And why would that be. What's the difference between running 104 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: in the primary and running in the general election? Maybe 105 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: against Gascon? 106 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the primary, they are twelve candidates. We're 107 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: all sort of running against each other. We're not running 108 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 3: against a definite other. So when people vote in the primary, 109 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 3: they're not choosing between one or the other. It's easy 110 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 3: to vote for somebody who you just like, but in 111 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: the general election in November, people have to realize the 112 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: realities of La County politics. The reality of La County 113 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: politics is that La County is not just blue, it's 114 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: navy blue. And the voters of La County are going 115 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 3: to be looking for somebody who doesn't just profess to 116 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: share their values, but has a long history of sharing 117 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,679 Speaker 3: their values. They're going to be looking for somebody who's 118 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: a lifelong Democrat. There are several candidates in this race 119 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: who are not. The Democratic Party is going to take 120 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: an interest in trying to hold onto that seat, and 121 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 3: so if there is somebody who they think doesn't share 122 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: their values, has expressed that they're more Republican or conservative, 123 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: that's going to be difficult. That's going to be a 124 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 3: difficult win in November for that person. 125 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: People tend to these days associate Republican and conservative with 126 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: being tougher on crime, and a lot of people feel 127 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: that there's been mistakes made going with progressive candidates, obviously, 128 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: so explain where you fit into all that. You say, 129 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: you're not a Republican a conservative, you are a Democrat, 130 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: have been a long time So where does that put 131 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: you on the spectrum in dealing with the criminals and 132 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: prosecuting them and getting them sentenced properly. 133 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: Yes, on the spectrum. I think it puts me right 134 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 3: in the middle. And I appeal very strongly to Republicans. 135 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: I go to Republican events. I have Republicans helping me 136 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: with my campaign as well as Democrats. Have a real 137 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 3: cross section of folks who like me and support me 138 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 3: because I speak common sense when it comes to our 139 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: criminal justice system. I talk about balance and proportionality, and 140 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: I think that's the common ground that we all meet on, 141 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, and whether you 142 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: may be polarized on other issues, we all sort of 143 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: want the same thing when it comes to public safety. 144 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: We want to be able to feel safe in our 145 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: homes and outside of our homes. But then they're the 146 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: reality of party politics, which is not the same as 147 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 3: what the man on the street or woman on the 148 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: street thinks about, you know, leadership and who should be elected, 149 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 3: and those politics have a real impact on elections. 150 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: John, can you hold on? I want to talk some more. 151 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: You got you got a few more minutes, all right? 152 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: We just got to take a quick break. It's John McKinney. 153 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: He's one of the strong candidates to replace George Gascon, 154 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: so strong that a poll of three hundred and fifty 155 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: five deputy das say they two thirds of them would 156 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: like to have John McKinney as their boss over the 157 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: eleven other candidates. It's I don't think it's shocking that 158 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: he did well, but it is shocking that he did 159 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: that well sixty four percent. He got two hundred and 160 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: twenty nine at a three hundred and fifty five votes cast, 161 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: and George Gascone got six votes from the people who 162 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: work for And when we come back, we'll talk more 163 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: with John McKinney. 164 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 165 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 4: six forty. 166 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: We continue with John McKinney, Deputy District Attorney here in 167 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: La County, works for Gascon, wants to replace Gascon, and 168 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: they took a straw poll of most of the deputy 169 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: DA's and found that McKinney is the choice by far. 170 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: He got sixty almost sixty five percent of the vote. 171 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: These are the fellow deputy DA's. They say they want 172 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: to work with John more than anybody else and get 173 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: John McKinney back on the line. Here. We've had a 174 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: number of the candidates on and I just always assume, 175 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: because you know the number of people who might vote 176 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: but not be aware of who they're voting for. They're 177 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: not familiar with all the candidates. There's always a name 178 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: recognition issue for people hearing about you for the first 179 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: time and they say, whoa of his fellow deputy das 180 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: want to work for him? Tell them what you're going 181 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: to do right away to correct the Gascone drift to 182 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: her first course here? What are you going to do? 183 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 3: Will I'm going to do quite a few things. And 184 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: I think one of the reasons that so many of 185 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 3: my colleagues supported me in this plebiscite is because they 186 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: know that I've fought like hell to support victims for 187 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 3: over twenty five years now, and I have always prosecuted 188 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 3: defendants the right way, fairly, transparently, and with balance. And 189 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: I will contntinue that on day one by repealing and 190 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: replacing all of what remains of George Gascone's nine original directives. 191 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: We're going to have a complete reset. We're going to 192 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: move the system back toward the center and we're going 193 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 3: to have fair proportional prosecutions. We're going to have truth 194 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: in charging, where the charges reflect the actual behavior of 195 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: the people who are violating the law. We're going to 196 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 3: fight to hold people in custody if they present a 197 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 3: danger or risk of flight. We're going to do all 198 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: the things of normal prosecutor is supposed to do, and 199 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 3: we're going to do it in a way that is 200 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: supported by people in the community because they trust what 201 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: we're doing and they can see what we're doing. 202 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Are you going to bring back enhancements like, for example, 203 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: gun enhancements when a felony is committed. 204 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 3: Absolutely, because as I've explained many times, enhancements are part 205 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: of the definition of a crime. There is no crime 206 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: of armed robbery in the Penal Code. You have to 207 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: charge robbery plus the gun enhancement. To charge armed robbery, 208 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: there's no charge. There's no such crime as armed rape 209 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 3: in the Penal Code. You got to charge rape and 210 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: add the gun enhancement. If you don't add the enhancements, 211 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 3: you're not telling the truth about the crime that was committed. 212 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: So of course we're going to charge the enhancements when 213 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 3: the evidence supports. 214 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: You know, I've never heard anyone articulated exactly like that 215 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: that you know, you know, it's not just robber here. 216 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense, right, it makes a 217 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: lot of sense. 218 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: So the enhancement is not piling on. The enhancement is 219 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: part two of the crime. You robbed something and you 220 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: used a gun. That's why it's armed robbery. So it's 221 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: two separate crimes. There should be two parts to the 222 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: sentencing as well. 223 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely, and no one would disagree with that if 224 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: you explain it to him that way. 225 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: That's just it. I have not run into a single 226 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: person in La County who agrees with Gascon's policies, like, no, 227 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: there's no constituency for this. 228 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, people are starting to recognize. Some wanted 229 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: to give them, you know, some time, and now it's 230 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: been three and a half years. They see the sailed leadership. 231 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: They see the confused priorities that he has. The policies 232 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 3: that stem from those priorities are also confused. He claims 233 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: he had to implemented reform, but they're impotent to the 234 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: extent that they're not changing the way people are behaving 235 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 3: or living their lives. We've got thirty seven cities that 236 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: voted no confidence in his leadership. He's facing twenty five 237 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 3: to thirty lawsuits from union employees, and we're understaffed by 238 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 3: two hundred. He's only been able to hire eighty five 239 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: people over three and a half years. It's pitiful, and 240 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: it's because nobody wants to work with him. I think 241 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: this poll reflects the change within the office that people 242 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: want to see outside the office. 243 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: I guess you would say it says something about the 244 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: overwhelming support you got at two thirds of the vote 245 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: from Deputy das that you winning would be a big 246 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: morale boost for much of the stand. 247 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, John, you talk about hitting the ground running 248 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: on day one. 249 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: The das and. 250 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: Our office are fired up and ready to go. And 251 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: what they're telling the larger electorate is they want me 252 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: to be the next district attorney. I will reinvigorate that 253 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 3: office from the I'm gonna put my right hand in 254 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 3: the air and take the oath of office, and the men 255 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: and women in the DA's office will be super charged 256 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 3: to make things right again. 257 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on, John, We'll talk with you again 258 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: before election day. All right, keep at it, Thanks John, 259 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: all right, good luck. John. McKinney, the Deputy District Attorney, 260 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: and there was a straw paul of about three hundred 261 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: and fifty five deputy das, and two thirds of them 262 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: said McKinney's their choice. He beat out a number of 263 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: current and former deputy das as well as judges. If 264 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: you've been paying attention, you know there's twelve people running. 265 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: Only a few of them are serious contenders, and McKinney 266 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: is certainly one of them. When we come back, the 267 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: story about the guy who got shot because he went 268 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: into a women's room to do his business because the 269 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: men's room was occupied, and he got he got a 270 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: bullet for that, we'll talk about it when we come back, 271 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: because that that could have been me. 272 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am sixty. 273 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: You're not going to be going anywhere tomorrow morning, about 274 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: as well. Just listen to our show over and over again. 275 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: Did you see the amount of rain coming tomorrow morning? 276 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 3: Oh? 277 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's gonna be a lot of fun 278 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: driving in in the morning. 279 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: I was just looking at one of the TV stations 280 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: and they had the projected radar. Yeah, and right when 281 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: you're driving to work, tomorrow. Yeah, you know how the 282 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: colors work on the map, where if it's it's light green, 283 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: it's light rain, and dark green is moderate rain. And 284 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: then he gets into yellow, which is heavy rain, and 285 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: then he gets into red, and that means you're gonna 286 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: drown and get swept out. Red. It is going to 287 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: be dark red, exactly your route. 288 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 5: Okay, I have I have the suggestion, because people work 289 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 5: from home all the time anyway, why don't you work 290 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 5: from home tomorrow so that let's have less people on 291 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 5: the road.

But time I'm driving in the rain is 295 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: going to taper off? 296 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's right.

Tomorrow morning is gonna is going to be 301 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: a disaster. 302 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: Have you trade? Have you taken well, you know, you 303 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: don't take your dog for a walk. 304 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: It is no God. 305 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 5: I know this is a first world problem, and I 306 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 5: recognize that, but I hate taking my dogs to do 307 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 5: their business in the rain. I try to find, you know, 308 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 5: the moments, the pockets of time when it's not raining. 309 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 5: But I don't think that's going to happen before I 310 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 5: go to work. 311 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: You're just supposed to hire out, don't you know? 312 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: Well I don't. 313 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 5: My husband and I walk our own dogs, So he's 314 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 5: going to have to do it tomorrow. 315 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. That's right, there's a husband in now. 316 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: Sure that's the way it goes, all right. This story 317 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: hit home for me because this is a shocking secret. 318 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: But some times I use a lady's room to do 319 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: my business. 320 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: A scurple lane. 321 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: Now the lady specifically, Well, let me explain what happened. 322 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: This happened in Redlands and a guy got shot using 323 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: the lady's room and it was entirely innocent. The men's 324 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: room was occupied, and I guess the guy was in 325 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: a hurry. There was something urgent going on, and so 326 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: he went to the ladies room bad timing. This happened 327 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: about four o'clock in the afternoon over the weekend, and 328 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,719 Speaker 1: two little girls walked in to the lady's room and 329 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: they saw a guy in there, and you know, they 330 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: were upset, they ran out. They told some adults. I 331 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: couldn't get out of the story if the guy who 332 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: charged in there with the gun was one of the 333 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: dads or not.

Eventually was caught. He 340 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: had a woman with him. She's getting charged as an accomplice. 341 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: The victim unnamed hospitalized in stable condition. And this is 342 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, seventy miles east of la in Redlands and 343 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: Sylvan Park on University Street. If you live out in 344 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: that area, that's where it happened. Now, I work out 345 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: with my friend. We played tennis at this rec center. 346 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: We work out there and been going there forever. Kids 347 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: used to play ball there. They have a men's room 348 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: in a ladies room, right, but the men's room often 349 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: has homeless guys in it. In fact, there's one particular 350 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: homeless guy who shows up at the same time I 351 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: do and seems to have to go to the restroom 352 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: at the same time I do. So I'll walk in there, 353 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: and he's one of these guys who carries around a backpack. 354 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: He's got all kinds of stuff, and he he puts 355 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: all his junk all over the floor, goes in the stall, 356 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: squats and sits there for a while, and pretty soon 357 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: there's this god awful stench coming out of the stall. 358 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: I walk in there, it's like, oh, jeezus, I don't 359 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: want to smell that. I don't want to see the mess, 360 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: and I don't want to be in this very confined 361 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: space with this weirdo. Right, But I have to do 362 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: my thing, So I'll go to the ladies room and 363 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: I always knock and do my business. I'm going to 364 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: make sure I close the door from now on, because. 365 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 6: You know, anything you left the door open, well, I 366 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 6: wouldn't lock it. 367 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes I would just do it real fast, and I 368 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: don't even know if I can lock it, so I probably. 369 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 2: Can't stall the door. 370 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: No, no, no, they just they just have a toilet 371 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: in there. Oh and you don't lock it now, Well, yeah, 372 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: that's a bad move. 373 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: That is very bad. 374 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: That is a bad move because if anybody walks in there, 375 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: there's going to be a scream and I might get shot, exactly. 376 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: And I do this at restaurants all the time too, 377 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: because well because guys, they only have single toilets and 378 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: a lot of restaurants. 379 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: I know that. 380 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: And I still lock the door, locking just using it. 381 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: And I'll use the lady's room because a guy goes 382 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: in there, it's twenty minutes, you get. I've noticed this. 383 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: The restaurant workers, they're on their shift and they're not 384 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: allowed breaks, so they're holding a lot in for hours, 385 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: so when it's their time, they take root in there. Yeah, 386 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: and so I'll go in the ladies room. No, I will, 387 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: I'll lock that, okay, now that I realize you can 388 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: get shot. And by the way, creepy guys who lie 389 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: in wait in restrooms for little girls ought to be shot. 390 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: I'm all in favor of the guy doing the shooting. However, 391 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: this was a terrible accident, Yes, a terrible understanding. 392 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: The guy is I think he's going to survive though, Yeah. 393 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you know where he got the bullet? No, 394 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: because it was there. I mean, he could have got 395 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: shot in the head, but he got he got whacked 396 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: in the head with the gun. 397 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 3: See. 398 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: But this made me realize. It's like, is there any 399 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: way to keep the homeless people from from moving into 400 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: the restroom every morning for for an hour? I mean, 401 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: this guy's always in there a long time and it's just. 402 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 2: Oh it was, it was he got shot. 403 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: In the knee, shot in the knee. Oh that's not 404 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: good though. 405 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 2: And then pistol whipped in the head. 406 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: Pistol whipped. I'd rather be pistol whip in the head 407 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: than getting shot in the knee.

Biden's claiming he's done all he can do, 497 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: but he needs a lot of money, and he needs 498 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: a new border patrol, the deputies patrolling, and he needs judges, 499 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: and he needs this and that it is it look 500 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: a crap. He just flat out lies on this. Do 501 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: you know that during Biden's administration, he has taken two 502 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six actions on immigration, and eighty nine 503 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 1: of them eighty nine of them reversed or started to 504 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: undo Trump policies. So whatever Trump did on the border, 505 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: and the border had far far fewer crossings four years 506 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: ago than now, it's not even close. In fact, tomorrow, 507 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: I think we're going to get into the hard numbers here. 508 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: But obviously never in the history of the United States. 509 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: Have you had three million people a year storm over 510 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: the border, Many of them get away, many of them 511 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 1: are processed by the border patrol, and then it's catching 512 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: release and they're supposed to show up to asylum hearings 513 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: in seven years. Okay, this has gone on obviously for years, 514 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: but at a much much smaller level. I mean, just 515 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: numbers are tiny compared to what's going on now. Basically, 516 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: it's he abdicated the border and now he's saying, well, 517 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: they got to send me money. No, if I'm looking 518 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: at eighty nine reversals of Trump policy eighty nine, maybe 519 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: there's something in those eighty nine, isn't that. I mean, 520 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 1: he go, I've done all I can do. Give me 521 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: the power. I'm gonna repeat this in case you couldn't 522 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: hear it over the helicopter thing. I asked him the 523 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: very day I got into office. Give me the border patrol, 524 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: give me the judges, give me the people who can 525 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: stop this and make it work. Right. Well, see what 526 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: you need to do is instead of processing people at 527 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: the border, is you send them beat the border, tell 528 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: them to go to another country and plead their case. 529 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: That's what used to be done. Remain in Mexico. Was sorry, 530 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: you have to stay in Mexico. Go plead your case 531 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: with Mexico. After you get through with Mexico, you can 532 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: send us a letter. We'll see what we can do. 533 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: That's what Trump did. It was wildly successful just to 534 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: remain in Mexico policy alone. So there for starters. Now 535 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: we have eighty eight other policies that he reversed on 536 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: Trump Conway's here. 537 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 6: Hey, no, we've got Alex Stone coming on. There's a 538 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 6: health emergency declared over loneliness. 539 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: Ask him about the Minister of Loneliness that's being proposed. 540 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 6: Oh good, okay, all right, yeah, man, I think I 541 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 6: would be perfect for that. But there's a song out 542 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 6: that's called Loneliness is Happiness. 543 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: We'll have to play it because it takes. 544 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 6: Less than two you know, that's a great sum I've heard. 545 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 6: That's what are you listening to? Old crap? My dad 546 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 6: didn't like it anyway. So Universal Music Group is going 547 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 6: to pull music from TikTok. So if you like TikTok, 548 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 6: you're not gonna hear much Universal music there at all. 549 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 6: And then Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny and others are are 550 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 6: they may vanish from TikTok over licensing and dispute Bad Bunny. 551 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 6: Maybe Bad Bunny might be leaving TikTok. I knew you'd 552 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 6: be up on both those stories. This is gonna be 553 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 6: a summer of hell in New York City. They're gonna 554 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 6: make the cops now every time they talk to somebody, 555 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 6: the cop now has to write down what sex they are, 556 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 6: what race they are, why they talk to them, you know. 557 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 6: And so it's gonna the cops are you're not going 558 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 6: to talk to anybody. They can't even order lunch. And 559 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 6: then two cops got their ass kicked by five people 560 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 6: here in the country without permission. I think we can 561 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 6: use that term nowadays, without permission, without permission. And four 562 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 6: of them were arrested three hours later, no bail, back 563 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 6: on the street. 564 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: There you go. 565 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 6: And then so that word's gonna spread that you can 566 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 6: kick the crap out of cops. 567 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: Yes you can, yeah in New York, New York City.
