Yes? I do, actually, oh you did 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: hear that? And I have it in the form of 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: audio from the captain to the West Hollywood Division of 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: the Sheriff's Department. You guys are talking about We talked 41 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: about the same thing. What are we talking about? Oh, 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: John cof the show saying you almost killed him. Yeah, 43 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: I was walking out of my office as he was 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: walking down the hall and it was almost a collision 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: of epic proportions. Oh, he presented it, so he avoided death. 46 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: And I said, it's only because it was Steve Gregory. 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: If it was anybody else that Almos ran into, you 48 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't have told the story. Yeah, that's still his cloaked 49 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: way of doing another fact joke on me. So that's 50 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's gonna for as long. You know what, 51 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: I could lose one hundred pounds and you will. You'll 52 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: never accept that. And you've been saying that for ten 53 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: years ago. What you do. Let's see good point, you know, 54 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: I know, good point, right, But you do have a 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: good story out of who right? Yeah, you know. We 56 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: just found out a little bit ago that the mayor 57 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: pro tam of West Hollywood, Seppi shine Um, has requested 58 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: armed security. Now she's starting to get threats on social media, 59 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: to the point where she has called the Sheriff's Department 60 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: to ask them for help. Why didn't she call the ambassadors. Well, 61 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: it's funny you should say that, because I went ahead 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: and called the West Hollywood Division or the West Hollywood 63 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: Bureau of the La County Sheriff's Department when I spoke 64 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: with Captain Bill Moulder, and you know, just to give 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: some background for everybody, this is this Captain Moulder's background 66 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: on kind of the history of this effort to defund 67 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: the Sheriff's department. Back on June twenty seventh, the city 68 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: council voted to restore an entertainment policing deputy to our 69 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: entertainment policing team and then requested to then cut five deputies. 70 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: In ninety days from that particular date, they will look 71 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: at cutting two deputies and of the five, and then 72 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 1: six months after that look at cutting possibly three more. 73 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: So that in motion and in place of that, then 74 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: the ambassador program will come up. And this is how 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: he explains that that effort was to also I guess, 76 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: enhance or augment security in the city of West Hollywood 77 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: with unarmed ambassadors. Is that correct? Oh? Yes, part of 78 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: that was also to add thirty security ambassadors from block 79 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: by block to enhance the patrols not only in commercial areas, 80 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: but residential areas as well. So if this individual that's 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: requesting the armed security detail from you is trying to 82 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: reduce the number of armed security in West Hollywood, why 83 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: wouldn't this person just wanting to use one of the 84 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: unarmed ambassadors for their security detail. I can't comment on that. 85 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: I don't tell you. Poor cap did cut him off 86 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: guard there. But so you know why she's getting these 87 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: threats over what issue or because of the blowback for 88 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: wanting to reduce the armed number of deputies in West Hollywood. 89 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: So she is now in a situation much like when 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: the La City Council. Remember they were getting way to 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: defund the LAPD to the tune of one hundred and 92 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars, but each one of them still wanted 93 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: their security detail from the lap They have no shame, 94 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: absolutely no shame. The same with the La County Board 95 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: of Supervisors when they want armed security and they're they've 96 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: done a hiring freezer armed security for them, but not 97 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: for us. Exactly, we're supposed to just take the bullet. 98 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: So apparently this thing exactly, so what they'll do now 99 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: is the city did approve the expenditure of overtime money 100 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: so they can pay for the mayor pro TAM's armed 101 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: security detail from the La County Sheriff's Department. So that begins. Uh, 102 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's this reduction of armed security is a 103 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: big deal because you got to remember in crime in 104 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: the West Hollywood area has gone up like some one 105 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: hundred thirty seven percent from this time last year. I know, 106 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: there's no number that gets them to stop this nonsense. 107 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: The higher the crime rate goes, the more they wanted 108 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: to fund the police and and cut back on the 109 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: number of officers and then get their own private security 110 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: to protect them, right well, and then and the private 111 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: security is the Sheriff's department, well and exactly, and it's 112 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: it's private to them, but it's public for us because 113 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: we're paid to protect them, but we can't pay to 114 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: protect us. And I think there's a lot of blowback 115 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: too because this mayor. You know, they really touted this 116 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: mayor as one of the first LGBTQ mayors. And you know, 117 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: she spent eighty five thousand dollars a taxpayer money updating 118 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: an lgbt crosswalk to make it more trans and touting 119 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: a mayor for the intelligent things they do to make 120 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: the city safer instead of touting sexuality. I don't care 121 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: about anybody's sexuality. I want to know that you're intelligent 122 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: enough to provide the safety that the public wants, not 123 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: just for yourself. Who cares about your sexuality? I'm so 124 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: sick hearing about it. Well, they also spend fifty thousand 125 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: dollars on the Troubled Russian Culture festival. But the Troubled 126 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Russian Culture Yes, apparently it's been in trouble as of 127 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: late because Russi is not popular. Join well, it wasn't 128 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: at the time. I guess there were some financial issues 129 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: prior to this is what I understand it. But now, 130 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: so they gave a fifty thousand dollars infusion, and then 131 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: Russia invaded Ukraine. I see, I should invite Putin to West. 132 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: So I think there's some sort of blowback and backlash 133 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: on the fact that the city council doesn't mind its 134 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: spending money on these other things when there's an issue 135 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: with crime. Now, remember the city council voted three to two. 136 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: There were two opposing votes to us because they listened 137 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: to the voices of the business owners and business and 138 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: the people. Now, I will tell you this also, there 139 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: is a member of the LGBTQ community that we work 140 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: with here and I had a long discussion with him. 141 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: He lives in West Hollywood, and I asked him his 142 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: take on all this, and he says, let me tell 143 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: you something. Right now, every gay person I know has 144 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: buyer's remorse with the city council. Well, yeah, because you're 145 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 1: not you're not voting for the meat and potatoes stuff 146 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: that matters. Well, they were sold they're voting for virtue signaling. Well, 147 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: they felt like they were. They felt like they were 148 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: voting people in there that could make change and do things. 149 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: They didn't realize what they were actually going to make change, 150 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: like remove the police. Right, yeah, there's your change, because 151 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: at a point now where hit at heat crimes are 152 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: starting to a skyrocket, of course, And that's what makes 153 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: me crazy is that you you you want to vote 154 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: for a safe haven, right, and then you d police 155 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: the safe haven. Well, what do you think is going 156 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: to happen? The bad guys are going to come in 157 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: and target you. Except those elected officials with armed security 158 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: detail except that, right, right, Except like the mayor. Yeah, 159 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: I just don't understand the whole world. So who has 160 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: to approve this request? Well, here's the thing. So Captain Mulder, 161 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: and you know, he's been very diplomatic and professional about this. 162 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: He says, when we see this, we have to we 163 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: have to make a report, a suspicious activity report based 164 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: on these perceived threats on the social media platforms. He says, 165 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: we have to you know, I have to grant that 166 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: request because at the end of the day, our job 167 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: is to protect life, limb and property. It doesn't really 168 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: matter who these people are. We don't get politically, says 169 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: he says. So we will. He said, as long as 170 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: they pay the tab, because he said, if we can 171 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: afford it, we'll do it. And that's when the city 172 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: approved the tab the overtime for these two these additional 173 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: security details for her, And does she comment on the hypocrisy, 174 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: on the insanity of trying to cut the sheriff's force 175 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: and then demanding her own for her detail. I mean, 176 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: does she have any sense how this plays that it 177 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: makes her look like a big fool. Well, we've not 178 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: had a chance to reach out to her, and I'm 179 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: sure that if I do that now. I'm I'm not 180 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: sure how quickly they'll get back to I see, well, 181 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: especially after this. Tell them I say, hi, yeah, I'll 182 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: tell him you're looking for property there? Yeah, right, exactly 183 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: if they have a police force to personally protect me, 184 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: maybe I oh yeah, yeah, all right, Steve, very good. 185 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: They gotta guys take care, yeah, you tube. That's worth 186 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: pointing out again that the woman that wants to be 187 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: on the Elling County Board of Supervisors, her name is 188 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: Lindsey Horvath. This is West Hollywood City councilwoman for a while, 189 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: and she scrubbed that from like her resume, So she 190 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: doesn't want county voters who are going to vote on 191 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: that board seat that she to know she was on 192 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: that government board. Isn't that funny? I mean she completely 193 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: erased all references to her West Hollywood experience. Yeah, yeah, 194 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: just gone because she knows that it will just be 195 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: a black mark with some voters. I bother and people 196 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: wants to Hollywood that liked her will probably vote for her. 197 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: But people outside of West Hollywood, they don't like her 198 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: or don't like that government, and there are antics that 199 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: would be a negative pull on her chances. All Right, 200 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: when we return. Coming up, you're gonna have a chance 201 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: at a thousand dollars. It is the last time today. 202 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: As you get the keyword. It will resume tomorrow at 203 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: about nine two. Lauren Meister's the mayor, right, I don't 204 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: know is that the name Stephen the mayor? Lauren Meister? 205 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: No Zeppi Seppi Shine, Seppi Shine, Okay, Seppi Shine, Seppi Shine. 206 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: That's a kind of a catchy name. Szepi shan Seppi shine. Okay. 207 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: I gotta look up that name. And they're looking still 208 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: for the guy that shot the Lady Gaga dog Walk 209 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: Remember that story for more than a year ago. Yeah, 210 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: he had forgotten it. He got away due to a mistake, 211 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: and they're still trying to find him. We'll give you 212 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: that story and more coming up. John and Ken showed 213 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: Remember the two al Monty police officers who were gunned 214 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: down at that hotel when they went to try to 215 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: get a guy that may have been physically abusing his wife. 216 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: We found out that that guy was just on a 217 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: probation even though he had a gun, and he was 218 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: a one striker unto California's three strikes law. Because the 219 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: policies of Ella County District Attorney George Gascon was to 220 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: ignore the strikes. That was a blanket policy. Well, that 221 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: got challenged a judge and an appellate court said you 222 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: can't do that. So Gascone is now going to the 223 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: California State Supreme Court and he's bringing with him one 224 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: hell of a high powered attorney, a man by the 225 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: name of neil Ka kat y'all who represented al Gore 226 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: in the two thousand election dispute, as appeared before the 227 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: US Supreme Court dozens of times, and his law firm 228 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: can charge nearly twenty five hundred dollars an hour in 229 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: some cases. You're going to pay for this because he's 230 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: going to be the attorney for Gascon, who was employed 231 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: by the county. We will talk about it after five 232 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: thirty with Nathan Hochman, who was running for California Attorney General. 233 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: All right, now we turn our attention to this fiasco. 234 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: It was a huge tabloid story, and of course it 235 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: would be because even though this celebrity was not there 236 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: at the time, it was her precious dogs that were 237 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: seized in a robbery. Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot 238 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: and two of her French bulldogs were stolen. I remember 239 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: we did follow this story when it happened. Eventually, the 240 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: dog walker's name is Ryan Fisher. He's still trying to recover. 241 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: He got shot the chest. Yeah, yeah, serious wound. So 242 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: what happened in the days that followed? Lady Gaga offered 243 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: a five hundred thousand dollar reward for the dogs. No 244 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: question asked. Woman shows up and says, oh, I found 245 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: these dogs. I see that they might be on the news. 246 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: I just wanted to return them to their rightful owner. 247 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,119 Speaker 1: But the problem with that story was he was apparently 248 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: in a relationship with one of the suspects fathers. It 249 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: was clear that this was just a move by the 250 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: kidnappers to try to maybe even cash it on the reward. 251 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, because they sent somebody that didn't even 252 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: that had no connection to the theft right to them. 253 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: If you don't want to go through the trouble is 254 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: selling it or holding him for ransom, show up for 255 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: the reward with the dogs and say hey, look we 256 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: just found them. So they end up arresting five people 257 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: in connection with this robbery. Was February of twenty twenty 258 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: one and the reason we're talking about it now, and 259 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: I remember it was some time later. One of the 260 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: guys arrested is James Howard Jackson. He was facing an 261 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: attempted murder charge and one day during processing he got 262 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: released due to a clerical era, well because they had 263 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: filed a new set of charges against him, so the 264 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: new set superseded the old set, which I guess changed 265 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: the case number. Anyway, this confused I guess the dullard 266 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: clerks who processed this stuff right and looked it up 267 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: and said, oh, okay, his case has been dropped. But 268 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: I guess there was a new case filed and they 269 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: didn't know. Yeah, yeah, Well, whatever dud was handling the paperwork, 270 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: I guess saw that the old set of charges were 271 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: voided out, so he assumed, well, I guess we have 272 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: to release James Howard Jackson. And they did, and the 273 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: sheriff's deputies let him out because that's what they were 274 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: told to do. This happened in April, and they called 275 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: it a superseding indictment, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a robbery, 276 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: an assault with a semi automatic firearm. They thought they 277 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: would do this to speed up the legal process, as 278 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: John said, a new case number. But that resulted in 279 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: some confusion and Jackson walked. Yeah, this really did speed 280 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: up legal process, didn't it. He got out free, no 281 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: waiting for Gascon to set him free. It's true, maybe 282 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: it was a clerical era, but he's a lovely man. 283 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: He has a complicated tattoo on his neck, really on 284 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: his throat, you know. And you know, tattoos on the 285 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: neck are rarely signs of a troubled person almost never. 286 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: Wouldn't want to make any any judgments on that. So 287 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: now the Feds are offering a five thousand dollars reward. 288 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: This is brand new because now these months later, actually 289 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: it's a year later, they have not found him yet. Well, 290 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,239 Speaker 1: wherever he's gone to hide, it says he's a documented 291 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: gang member. Maybe that woman will show up again, the 292 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: one that brought the dogs in. Yeah, wherever she was 293 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: claiming the first reward. Oh, so the dogs to come 294 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: for the final Yeah, come and she'll tell them where 295 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: he is, or she'll just stick up a story. Yeah 296 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: for sure. Uh, I mean, Lady Gaga offered a half 297 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: million dollar reward for the dogs back, but I'm not 298 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: aware she s worded it to get the kill. Yeah, 299 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: to get Ryan Fisher some I think he was getting 300 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: some help with his medical bills. I remember some months 301 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: after this happened, he made a plea, a public plea, 302 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: that it's tough for him to pay for his care. Yeah, 303 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: she didn't and she didn't come forward. No, the money 304 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: was about getting the dogs back, right, right, The money 305 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: was about the dogs would do him being left dead? 306 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 1: You'd leave the guy for dead too, I guess as 307 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: long as you got your dogs back. Well, no, I'm not. No, 308 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: I do have a heart, you know you do for 309 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: some people. Okay, but what would get the bigger reward? 310 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: Getting the dogs back or getting a guy medical help? 311 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: That's gonna say. You've got one choice. You'd be a 312 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: great contestant on a moral dilemma game show. I think 313 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: we know all the answer. Yeah, right, but which could 314 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: we get her to admit it? So you'd take the 315 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: dogs back? Oh? I would. I would die if somebody 316 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: stole my dogs. I really would. Oh that'd be horrible. 317 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't hear any empathy for the dog walker, though, 318 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: who was laying why? I'm the dog walker? All right? 319 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: But let's say you hired someone and they got. Of course, 320 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: if you'd be frantic about the dogs and be like, oh, yeah, 321 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: he's in the hospital, I feel very bad for the 322 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: dog walker. I would do whatever I could, but yes, 323 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: my feelings would be more intense about the dogs. There 324 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: you go, all right, all right, another good story concerning 325 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: the La County District Attorney George Gascone. You're a person 326 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: in need, don't don't drop dead? And on the debor's 327 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,239 Speaker 1: block because he wants to spend a hell of a 328 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: lot of money on a big name lawyer to represent 329 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: him before the California State Supreme Court. Details coming up. 330 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: All right, cath what better not be you? Because I'm 331 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: going to remember this. Oh I know, no, you'll kick me. Well. 332 00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: The La County District jurney George Gascone, uh, you know, 333 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: he threw out a strike on a guy who went 334 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: on to murder to El Monty police officers, and what 335 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: he did violated the law, and eventually his own his 336 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: own deputy das had to sue him in court and 337 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: the judge said, yeah, what Gascon did was wrong against 338 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: the law, so you can't do it anymore. Too late 339 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: for that case. That guy was free and then he 340 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: eventually killed the killed the cops. Now there's an appeal 341 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: all the way this California Supreme Court. Yeah, what happened 342 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: was that judge overruled Gascone, so it went to an 343 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: appellate court. They agreed with the judge and overruled Gascone. 344 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: Gascon has decided this is so important to him, this 345 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: directive about strikes. He's going to the California State Supreme 346 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: Court with his with his with his case. And the 347 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: new detail we just learned from Fox News is he's 348 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: on a very high powered attorney who apparently charges a lot. 349 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: His name is Neil Ka kat y'all. He's a former 350 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: acting US Solicitor General. He actually represented al Gore in 351 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: the two thousand election dispute, and he's appeared before the 352 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: US Supreme Court dozens of times. He might be one 353 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: of the United States highest paid attorneys. Gascon is bringing 354 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: him on to argue his case before the California States 355 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: of the Court about charging strikes. That's our tax money 356 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: is going for a guy who tried I would say 357 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: it has to be nearly twenty fives doing it pro bono. Now, 358 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: an attorney representing the La County Deputy das is Nathan Hawkman, 359 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: who's also running for California Attorney General as a Republican 360 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: against Rob Bonta. He came in second in the primary. 361 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: So we're going to talk to Nathan Hawkman now and 362 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: again he's going to represent the La County. DA's basically 363 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: representing the public here, Yeah, against against gas own and 364 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: this Neil kat y'all, Nathan Hockman, Welcome to the John 365 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: and Ken Show again. How are you great to be on? 366 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: Very well, thank you. This is pretty outrageous, isn't it 367 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: that we've got to pay this kind of money after 368 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: Gascon has been told repeatedly now that he's violated the 369 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: law by by throwing out strikes. It's actually incredible. I mean, 370 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: Gascon was actually told by the Court of Appeals that 371 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: he could he was not above the law, that he 372 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: was not an absolute sovereign who could do whatever he wanted, 373 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: including getting rid of the three strikes policy and having 374 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: a blanket policy to never charge a second or third strike. Ever, again, 375 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: the appeals court throughout that power and said you have 376 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: to comply with the law. Now Gascon is doing something 377 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: even more incredible. He's going ahead and saying I think 378 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: the three strikes law itself is unconstitutional. Usually that's the 379 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: argument of a defense attorney. He's now up the script 380 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: and he is acting as the basically super defense attorney 381 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: on behalf of criminals as opposed of victims in the public. Incredible. 382 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: Has this three strikes constitutionality been litigated yet? Oh, it's 383 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: been litigated. I mean three strikes passed in nineteen ninety four, 384 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: so it's been on the books for twenty eight years. 385 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: There was a proposition with over seventy percent of the 386 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: people voting for it. It was also a law that 387 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: was passed by the state legislature at the same time. 388 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: This has gone through rounds and rounds of California Supreme 389 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: Court litigation affirming the constitutionality of three strikes. But now 390 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: Gascone is hiring one of the highest price attorneys in 391 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: America to try and throw out the law that gives 392 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: prosecutors the power to put the most violent and serious 393 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: offenders in jail for a very very long time. Again, 394 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: it's shocking that a prosecutor would be trying to do this. 395 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: Usually this is the realm of a defense attorney. But 396 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: if it's already been litigated over and over again, and 397 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: he's already lost in the lower courts. What are the 398 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: odds that he's going to win this at the California 399 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Well, I mean, this is why he lost 400 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: it on before an LA Superior Court judge, why I 401 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: lost it between before three different California Pelot Court judges. 402 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: Most likely the California Supreme Courts not even going to 403 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 1: take this, you know, this writ that he is now 404 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 1: asking that the appeal and this petition. Most likely they 405 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: will just reject it rather than hearing it again. Because 406 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: the constitutionality of three strikes is absolute and the fact 407 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: that a prosecutor is not above the law is one 408 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: of the fundamental premises in our law, because everyone is 409 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: subject to the law and gas Oncent app act as 410 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: an absolute sovereign. Is there some provision in the law 411 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: that Gascone thinks gives him discretion? Sure, I mean there's 412 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 1: the idea that prosecutors only have extremely wide discretion, but 413 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: it's subjects to a few exceptions. And the exception is 414 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: a law like three strikes law that says a prosecutor's 415 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: shell file a strike, a second or third strike if 416 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: the evidence warrants it, and then after it's filed, if 417 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: he can, if he wants and believes the evidence compels that, 418 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: he can move to dismiss it. But then he needs 419 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: the approval of the court ahead of time. He doesn't 420 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: need the approval of the court, which is what he's 421 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: arguing for. But after he files it and then wants 422 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: to dismiss it, the court has to go along with that. 423 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 1: All right, So there's spotting with down below. There's no discretion. 424 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: He must file an original charge. He has the discretion 425 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: to ask the judge to dismiss it later on. He 426 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: has no discretion not to file it. But then he can. 427 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: He has the discretion to move to dismiss but then 428 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: the judge has to agree with this. How is it 429 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: He has the power to hire somebody that costs this 430 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: much is his legal representative. He can just do this, 431 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: use the taxpayer money to hire this high payered, high 432 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: paid attorney. He has that power. But that is another 433 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: reason that he needs to be recalled. I mean, if 434 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: ever you needed one more reason to recall someone is 435 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: that he's willing to pay the taxpayer's money. And interestingly, 436 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 1: he didn't use the California Attorney General's office, which I 437 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: find the shocking as well. I'm running for California Attorney General, 438 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: and if and the California Attorney General generally handles all 439 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: appeals to the California Supreme Court. Gascon is bypassed in 440 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: the California Attorney General. We have not heard from Rob 441 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: Bonda whether he agrees with this strategy, and I'm assuming 442 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: he does, because Gaston and Bonta have been in complete 443 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: alliance and league endorse each other. They're part of the 444 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: let him go guys. And the assumption is that Rob 445 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: Bonta is actually endorsing this strategy or else he would 446 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: oppose it and represent the people of the state of 447 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: California and say, the California Supreme Court, we want to 448 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: uphold the laws of propositions and state legislators. Does it 449 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: surprise you that he does this after the murder of 450 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: the two Almonte cops. Gascon is about his tone death 451 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: as I've ever seen a district attorney. The fact that 452 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: he would do this in light of the deaths that 453 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: were caused by his own policy of not filing the 454 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: second strike or dismissing the second strike is again shocking 455 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: and overwhelmingly demonstrates the case as to why Gascon needs 456 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 1: to be recalled. So you're going to be arguing against 457 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: this high powered attorney in the state Supreme Court. I've 458 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: had the pleasure of arguing against many high powered attorneys 459 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: throughout my thirty year career. You are a high powered attorney, 460 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: you are a high powered at There you go. I 461 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah, I've been a US Assistant Attorney General 462 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: and I've gone against the best that the other side 463 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: has had to throw against us. But when you have 464 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: the law and you have the facts on your side, 465 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: you start out way ahead. And we have four judges 466 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: that have already considered this and ruled against Gaston, and 467 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: so I even predict the Supreme Court won't actually take 468 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: the petition for the review. When do you think this 469 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: case will be originally ruled on. I think the Supreme 470 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: Court will most likely rule on this case within the 471 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: next month or two. On whether or not it's going 472 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: to take the petition. They can decide not to take 473 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: the petition, and then it's dead in the water. There's 474 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 1: no further place for Gaston to go. If they take 475 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: the petition, then there will be briefing and eventually most 476 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,479 Speaker 1: likely arguments in the case. All right, Nathan, thanks for 477 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: coming on, and we hope you don't have to argue 478 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: in court. We hope the California State Supreme Court just 479 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: reject this. It's pathetic. I think it's I think they'll 480 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: do the right thing. They'll reject it. And again, most 481 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: likely what we're hoping is that the voters, you know, 482 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: the recall gets on the ballot, and then the voters 483 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: vote for the recall and end the reign of King 484 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: George Gaston in Lost Angeles forever. All right, there's Nathan Hockman. 485 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: Thanks very much for coming on again. Thanks again, appreciate it. 486 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: And of course he's will be on your ballot November 487 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: for California Attorney General against the incumbent Rock Bonta, and 488 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: clearly he's a far better choice than Rob Banta, who 489 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: is an acolyte of George Gascon. I. Guy Gascon wants 490 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: to spend possibly twenty five hundred dollars an hour on this, 491 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: Neil cat y'all to represent him in the California State 492 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: Supreme Court to argue about not charging strikes when a 493 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: felon commits another crime, and that was the case with 494 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: the Almonte police officers shoot. That was Justin Flores who 495 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: killed them. He had a strike on his record. Gascon 496 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: apparently just agreed with the strike. Remember that he just 497 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: he robbed his grandparents. So, I mean, you know he's 498 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: got drug problems. We didn't know he was going to be. 499 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: Nothing in his past indicating he was going to be 500 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: a violent person. This is what This is the danger 501 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: of this man. He decides these things, and you know 502 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: what is always worth repeating. He had a blanket policy. 503 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: He told his deputy das do not charge strikes. Yet 504 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: when this case became known, he tried to make it 505 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: sound like, well, we looked at this particular case with 506 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: this Justin Flores carefully and he didn't have any violent background. 507 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: But when the truth was he had a blanket policy tonight, 508 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: it didn't matter nobody's looking at his background. It was 509 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: just don't charge. Whatever the background of the perpetrator was, 510 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: or whatever Gascon's policy is is irrelevant. The law says 511 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: you must charge it. You shall shall means you have 512 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: no wiggle room, you don't have any discretion in that moment. 513 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: It's a must, You're required, and that's what the judge 514 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: And then the appellate Court said that he can't override 515 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: the law, so he's just to make his own legal law. 516 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: Come up with all the theories he wants about the 517 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: guy's childhood or how he thinks the world ought to 518 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: work in the state of California, It doesn't. It simply doesn't. 519 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: You have to change the law, and that's not happening 520 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: anytime soon. All Right, we got more coming up. Oh yeah, 521 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: John and Ken show a quick reminder that the moistline 522 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: pops up again in two days. You can leave a 523 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: message at one eight seven seven mois eight six twenty 524 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: seven seven six six four seventy eighty six, or use 525 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: the iHeart radio app with the microphone icon to leave 526 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: a message. Most of the protests over the US Supreme 527 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: Court decision on Roe v. Wade have faded, but apparently 528 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: there are still protesters that march outside of the home 529 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: of some of the justices. A story was featured about 530 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh. His neighbors are fed up at the protesters. 531 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: They are loud, they are obnoxious, they are abusive, and 532 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: it's been going on too long, and they're going after 533 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: the neighbors, not just Cavanon's and it's family, But the 534 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: neighbors said, the neighbors are complaining again. The neighbors are 535 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: telling the story here that they use drums and megaphones, drums, 536 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: and if you complain, they yell fu and f your children. Nice. Yeah, 537 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: they even shout ugly things at the kids. These are diseased. 538 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: I think they're there all night long. Some of the 539 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: families say, we just have to go out to dinner 540 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: and just disappear for hours because we can't put up 541 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: with it. When we tell them, can you keep it 542 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: down a little, they call us fascists, said one residence. 543 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: You know, they're violating federal law. There's a federal law 544 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: that's not being enforced that prohibits protesting to intimidate or 545 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: influence a Supreme Court justice at his home. There is 546 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: a specific law. There is a specific law. And in fact, 547 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz was talking about this out loud the other day. 548 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: Why isn't Merrick Garland, who's the Attorney General, having the 549 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: Department of Justice enforced this law because they passed it 550 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: some years ago. Why can't the local police enforce it? Well, 551 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: it's a federal law. You know, up to a point, 552 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: you can protest on a public street. Or a public sidewalk. 553 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how much the police could do, but 554 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: right now nobody's doing anything. No, they're starting to call 555 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: them Karen's when they complain. It's a stupid you know, 556 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: of all the stupid trendy little phrases around it, and 557 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: there's lots. The biggest dumbass phrase is when you call 558 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: somebody a Karen, it's bad one. And I feel bad 559 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: for all the Karen's of the world. That was their 560 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: name years ago. It's just the sign of an idiot. 561 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: Just you know where they came from. One guy on 562 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: Reddit was bitching about his wife. Oh, and I guess 563 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: either his wife name was Karen or he called her Karen, 564 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: And suddenly this took off. This is what the morons 565 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: do at home as they read Reddit threads about somebody 566 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: else's bad marriage and they start these uh yeah. I 567 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: just started noticing these viral videos a couple of years ago, 568 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: when it's a white woman in a park is yelling 569 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: racist stuff at somebody, and suddenly I'm seeing the term Karen. 570 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: Here's another Karen's story, and I'm like, what's it with Karen? 571 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: They looked up and said, oh, that's the term they're 572 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: using their name. They're using for supposedly white women, a privilege. Yeah, 573 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: who act badly in any way? Right? Oh, sometimes they're 574 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: not acting badly. It's just the Wokesters disagree with their 575 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: they decide they're acting badly. Yeah, correctly. There was something 576 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: about you were talking about how most of the world's 577 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: moved on from this abortion debate. There actually was a 578 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: story in Real Clear Politics today with graphs tracking how 579 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: often the word abortion is mentioned in the news media 580 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: and how often it searched online by people on Google. 581 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: And it's dropped down to nothing. The media is not 582 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: mentioning it either, far less than they were. Oh you know, 583 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: it was it peaked on a certain date when when 584 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: the stories happen, and then it's dribbling along at the bottom. 585 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,719 Speaker 1: And the same thing with the Google the Google mentions 586 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,240 Speaker 1: because ultimately there's nothing more to the story. The Supreme 587 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 1: Court decided. There's going to be scuffles in a number 588 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: of states, but you know, it's over until we get 589 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: into the Supreme Court that takes up the case that 590 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: might bring it back. Yeah, thirty years from now and 591 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: something like that. Ah, tim congding, go on with you. Hey, 592 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,479 Speaker 1: let me ask you fellas if you had a daughter 593 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: who was like six months old and you named her Karen, 594 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: and then all this stuff came out, would you change 595 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: her name? I think it's a fad. Maybe not that 596 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: that would die out. I think you would, but yeah, 597 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: I think now probably the one time I tracked the 598 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: popularity of names, and names will peak. Sure, maybe there's 599 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: a famous actress, and then they'll drop. They'll drop like 600 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: to number three hundred and eighty two or off the shelf. Yeah, 601 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know what causes the drops the increases. 602 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: You could see it's usually has something to do with fame. 603 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: I mean, could you imagine, like if your name was 604 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: associated with something outside of you, like what it like, 605 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: Like let's say the term you know, like, oh, that 606 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: guy's a John, he's a bathroom.

I feel horrible, you know. 610 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: And John was extremely popular in a certain it's a 611 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,439 Speaker 1: bible bible names, and you know many of them turned 612 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: out to be serial killers.
