Laura, tell us what happened. 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 3: Today, a John, Well, it has been a very emotional 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: day here at Federal Court. I sit here outside of 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: five hundred Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan, where we still 23 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: have a lot of people gathered around the courthouse. I 24 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 3: think people were hopeful that we were going to hear 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: from some of the attorneys. That hasn't happened yet. We 26 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: just watched Shawn Colmbe's family leave and get into the 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: Sprinter vans and be taken away. Obviously very disappointed, as 28 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: we know, after this eight week trial that happened over 29 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: the summer and the charges that he was facing. He 30 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: could have got twenty years in federal prison, and that 31 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: was the maximum. The prosecution in the case said that 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: they wanted eleven years and a couple of months, and 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: the defense said, how about fourteen months basically time served. 34 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: That's how long he's already been locked up at the MDC. 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: And then we had hours today of family members and 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: Shawn colmb's attorneys asking for leniency, begging the judge for mercy, 37 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 3: asking them asking him to just let him leave and 38 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: go out into the public and do good things, and 39 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: that he's better off helping people outside of prison. But 40 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: that was not how this went down. The judge in 41 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: the case gave him fifty months or four years and 42 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: two months for his conviction on the accounts of transportation 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: to engage in prostitutions. 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 4: John. 45 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: What was also remarkable in this, the judge noted in 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: is sentencing after all of you know, you say that 47 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 3: you're remorseful, you say that you're so sorry, you say 48 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: that you know, gosh, you won't do it again. He said, 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: you know, as I sentence you to these fifty months, 50 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: what strikes me is that you say you're remorseful and 51 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: you won't do it again. And you were rated with 52 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: search warrants in twenty twenty three, but in June of 53 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, even after authorities executed those search warrants, 54 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 3: you brutally assaulted Jane, the woman known as Jane, and 55 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: he read excerpts of her testimony from the trial about 56 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: a hotel night in question that was really, really brutal, 57 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 3: and he said, you know, you say that you're sorry, 58 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: but then you did this, so I can't you know, 59 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 3: this just isn't going to happen. 60 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 5: You're gonna have to do some time here. 61 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 2: He had written an apology to the judge the night before, 62 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: groveling apology just begging for leniency. 63 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 5: He did. He wrote. 64 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: It was four pages long and it talked about how 65 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: remorseful he was. He owned up to all that he 66 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: had been accused of in terms of you know, look 67 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 3: that you can't get around that video that we've all 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: seen at the Internet Continental Hotel with Cassie Ventura, his ex, 69 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: which he has seen brutally assaulting her, dragging her to 70 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: the floor and kicking her and punching her. That happened 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: years ago, and that tape was leaked and he's, you know, 72 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: he's busted there. And he talked about that, saying that 73 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: he owns that domestic violence assault, that it's something that 74 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: he has to live with each and every day and 75 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: he is deeply remorseful for it. But if given the 76 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: chance to do good in the world, he would and 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: really begging him saying, it's not for me to be out. 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 5: I'm asking for. 79 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: My children, my seven children.

Contracts are written up 175 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 2: with her daughter's company and then Charlene gives the approval, 176 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: her daughter can get ninety three grand, and then the 177 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: money looks like it gets rooted to Charlene. How about 178 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: that the actual work that Charlene's daughter's company did was 179 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: estimated to be worth twenty five hundred dollars, be because 180 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 2: she got ninety three thousand. Then it turns out the 181 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: Burbank superintendent, John Piramo resigned the day the embezzlement story 182 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: came to light. Superintendent. Oh so he's not on the board, 183 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: he's the actual superintendent. The hell, what's going on here? 184 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 2: There's criminals everywhere. And by the way, this is what 185 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: I'm talking about. This is what the head of the 186 00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: VLASSA did, Right that, Licia Adams Callum funnel too million 187 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:06,119 Speaker 2: dollars to her husband's nonprofit. But it wasn't called ambezzlement. 188 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: I don't know why. It seems like it's the same thing, right, Well, 189 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 2: maybe because it went to the nonprofit. And here Charlene 190 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 2: Tabot ended up getting some kind of kickback. Now, what 191 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: is the role of the superintendent, John Paramo? He apparently 192 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: helped facilitate the payment, and Paramo told one staff member 193 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: that Charlene Tabbot was having money troubles and this would 194 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: help her out. It would create red flags if they 195 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: hire her while she's a board member, so they would 196 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: create the contract with her daughter. This is how it's done. 197 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: This is how billions and billions of dollars disappear. It's 198 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: only ninety three thousand, right, small potatoes, But this is 199 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: how billions and billions of dollars disappear in homeless funding, 200 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: Billions of dollars disappear in high speed rail funding, you know, 201 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: billions of dollars disappear for green energy funding.

It's on 345 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 2: all the streaming channels like Prime and Apple, and you 346 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: should watch it because it explains, from the point of 347 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: view of some of the students, the insanity that's consumed 348 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 2: these universities. All awoke progressive politics that poisoned so many 349 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: minds and created an incredible amount of emotional distress and 350 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: damage to the students. And it's all orchestrated by university 351 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 2: administrators and the professors. And you combine that with the 352 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 2: smartphone being introduced in twenty thirteen and social media, and 353 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: that whole generation just was sent into a terrible emotional 354 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 2: tail spin and they all got caught up in all 355 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: the nonsense that we've been chronicling over the years. It's 356 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: a fascinating movie that I saw this morning, and we 357 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: had the director on and the producer on and that's 358 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 2: Ted and Courtney Ballaker is based on a book called 359 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: The Coddling of the American Mind. You should read the book, 360 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 2: you should watch the movie, and you will have a much, 361 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: much clear understanding of what's going on in the world 362 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 2: and why this has happened. It is a cult. I've 363 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: always called it a cult. And that's not just the 364 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: rhetorical device. That's not hyperbole. It really was a cult. 365 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: Now we have a situation where in California you have 366 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: public officials who are urging people to interfere with ice, 367 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: and you also have like Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom. Newsom 368 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: is on national television trying to whip up anger against Ice. 369 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: Karen Bass is giving out rapid response numbers for this 370 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: Churl organization, which takes tens of millions of taxpayer money, 371 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: and they are constantly sending their troops in to create mayhem. 372 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: You know, they were part of the instigation of the 373 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: ice riots. There's that going on, and then you have 374 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 2: people who are trying to help with their own expertise. 375 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: If you go to the app store, you've been able 376 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 2: to buy ice block, and Apple's app store has been 377 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: carrying ice block and that's one of these crowdsourced app 378 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: where you can report sightings of ICE agents around the 379 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 2: country and then other people can see it and they 380 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 2: could go try to interfere, interfere or harm or kill 381 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 2: the ICE agents. And the Trump administration, the Attorney General 382 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 2: Pam Bondi, they called Apple up demanding they remove the 383 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 2: ice block app from the app store, and the company 384 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: did because this was all about intimidating and harming ICE agents. 385 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 2: It goes hand in hand with Newsom's anti mask law, 386 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: so that these ICE agents can be easily identified and 387 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 2: then docksed, and then they could be harassed and terrorized 388 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: at their homes as well as their families and their 389 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: kids and their neighbors, and eventually, you know people are 390 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 2: going to get shot. Well, hey, what happened in Texas? 391 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: You had one of these goons get riled up and 392 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: started shooting at ICE agents, except he ended up killing 393 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: two illegal aliens and so on. The front lines have 394 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: been Newsome and have been Karen Bass. By the way, 395 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: this is this is not covering the media. Now that 396 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: that that that law has been in effect for about 397 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 2: two weeks that ICE agents have to wear masks, has 398 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: it been enforced. Any ICE agent's been arrested, sighted disciplined 399 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 2: at all. No, a totally empty gesture by Newsom. But Ben, 400 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 2: he had press releases, press conference, he had other political 401 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 2: thugs gathered around him and activists, and it was a 402 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 2: big hoopla that he created, went on all the interview 403 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: shows and his goons on Twitter, and two weeks later, 404 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: there are no citations, no arrests. The law hasn't been enforced. 405 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: There hasn't been a single local or state law enforcement 406 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: official that has arrested a single ICE agent because it's unconstitutional, 407 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: so nobody's even trying. It was a complete joke, and 408 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 2: he knew it. The only ones who didn't know it 409 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 2: are the dumb ass reporters that work in media here 410 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, from here to Sacramento. 411 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: Every reporter who took this. 412 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 2: Story literally and presented literally as dumb as a box 413 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 2: of rocks. Unconstitutional, and the ICE agents have been flaunting 414 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: masks ever since with no penalty, and there never will 415 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 2: be a penalty anyway. Going back to the Ice block app, 416 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: so Apple was carrying this in their store. I think 417 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: Google may still be, and there's a lot of pressure 418 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 2: on Google to take it out of the Google Play Store. 419 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 2: The creator of the app is some probably some angry 420 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: rich kid. His name's josh Joshua Aaron, and he said, 421 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 2: capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move. 422 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 2: Ice Block is no different than crowdsourcing speed traps. No, 423 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: crowdsourcing speed traps just warns people not to speed. When 424 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: you have a crowdsourcing app to track ICE officers, it 425 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: leads ICE officers potentially to get shot at. There's a difference. 426 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: Somebody ought to tell this jerk. Ice Block was removed, 427 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: according to Apple, because its purpose was to provide about 428 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 2: was to provide location information about law enforcement that could 429 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: be used to harm such officers. 430 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: There you go. 431 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 2: But Joshua Aaron is not said, well, this is protected 432 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Well, 433 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: it might be protected speech to say, hey, looks like 434 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: the ICE agents are across the street, but you don't 435 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: have a First Amendment right to put it on an 436 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 2: app and sell it through the Apple system. If Apple 437 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 2: thinks it's actually they'd be facilitating a great danger to 438 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: law enforcement agents. They have every right to pull your 439 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 2: stupid app because all you want is terrorists and want 440 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 2: to be terrorists and rioters and troublemakers to harm the 441 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: ICE agents. That's what Joshua Aaron's purpose is. He added, 442 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: We're determined to fight this with everything we have. What 443 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: do you have, Well, maybe a bank account from your 444 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: your rich parents, and you can file a bunch of 445 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 2: lawsuits that will get thrown out of court. I don't 446 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 2: know what what you have exactly. Our mission has been 447 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 2: to protect our neighbors. We will not be deterred. We 448 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: will not be stopping your neighbors. You're not going to 449 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 2: protect them their law breakers, and ICE is law enforcement. 450 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 2: You make apps. I don't know what this is your 451 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 2: contribution to society. Would you be really happy if somebody 452 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: used your your stupid app and then killed an ICE agent? 453 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 2: Is that is? Would that be a reason to party 454 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: it was a successful hit crazy people? Well, anyway, at 455 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: least Apple did the right thing. And I don't know 456 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 2: what google situation is, but if you have an app 457 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: that helps crazy people kill law enforcement agents who are 458 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 2: enforcing the law, you're lucky you're not thrown in prison 459 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 2: in an authoritarian regime. If this really was an authoritarian regime, 460 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: you'd be thrown in prison. 461 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: For that, and I wish it was this much. 462 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: Of a regime like that, and a guy like Joshu 463 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 2: or Aaron was locked up and put away. 464 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: More coming up. 465 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI six. 466 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: We've got moistline coming up in a couple of minutes. 467 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: You know, you know it's funny. I mentioned this from 468 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 2: time to time. Apparently much of the public gets its 469 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 2: news from social media now, and some of it is 470 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: from traditional news sources, and some of it is just 471 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: random people, and you don't know what you're getting. My 472 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: wife sends me stuff all the time. And maybe you 473 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 2: could use this for your show. Maybe you could use 474 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 2: this for your show. And the thing is, I go 475 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: check it out, and it's truly is fake news. It's 476 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 2: not an insult, it's not news I disagree with. This 477 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: is news that is entirely made up. And there's so 478 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 2: much of that all over social media. And it explains 479 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 2: why people have some people have the nutting views they 480 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: do is because they're ingesting a lot of garbage. Of course, 481 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 2: if you use the traditional media sources, even if they 482 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 2: send it through social media, those things are horrifically woke 483 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 2: and biased. 484 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: And progressive and all that stuff. And there's yeah, you. 485 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 2: Know, I always mentioned on a statewide basis Californiaglobe dot 486 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: com and on a local basis Westside Current dot com. 487 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 2: And we find ourselves using more stories from those two 488 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 2: sources because they have they're covering real news and they're 489 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: telling you the truth. And what I've noticed is people 490 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 2: I know who, let's say they're older, sixty, over sixty, 491 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 2: they still grouse about the media, the bias and the media, 492 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,239 Speaker 2: and they still grouse about the network newscasts and this 493 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: and that. And I keep telling you it's like nobody's watching 494 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 2: them anymore because nobody believes them. You don't have to 495 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 2: worry about news media bias anymore. You really don't, because 496 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what sixty Minutes runs, it doesn't matter 497 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 2: what the CBS news runs. Nobody's watching and even fewer 498 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 2: are believing it. And to that point, Gallup just did 499 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 2: polling and they found out that America's Americans confidence in 500 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 2: mass media, mainstream media is now down to twenty eight percent. 501 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 2: Only twenty eight percent of the public expresses a great 502 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: deal or fair amount of trust in newspapers and television. 503 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: Now you have. 504 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: Seventy percent of adults say they have either not very 505 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 2: much confidence or none at all. Seventy percent have written 506 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 2: off all the networks, all the mainstream newspapers and news 507 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: sites in America seventy percent. When you break it down 508 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 2: according to parties, Republican confidence is down to eight percent. 509 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: Independent voters their confidence level twenty seven percent say I'm 510 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: almost three quarters of independent voters saying no, I don't 511 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: believe that. I don't trust that. Again, we're talking about 512 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 2: the major networks and the major newspapers, and even among 513 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: gullible left wing Democrats, only fifty one percent trust the media. 514 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 2: It's down to half. And those people are being served 515 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 2: what they already believe. Right, you have a progressive news 516 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 2: media and they're serving up progressives and liberals with the 517 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: kind of news that these people want to hear. So 518 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: their trust is still holding out. But everybody else has 519 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: left the party. And it's five years ago. It was 520 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 2: forty percent trust in TV and newspapers, then last year 521 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: thirty one percent, now twenty eight percent, and uh, hardly 522 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 2: hardly anybody's watching and hardly anybody's believing it. So if 523 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: you're one of those people, don't get worked up by 524 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 2: the media, the traditional mainstream news media. It's dead, had 525 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: its day. Chaos is replacing it. But don't worry about 526 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 2: the bias. The bias did the men.
