All right, Well, our big 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: story today which we kicked off the show with, and 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: just before we were about to go on the air, 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: there was an update, I guess a good update the 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: La County Board of Supervisors. Well two of them, there 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: were five on the board. Two of them he'll Desalise 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: and the new one Lindsey Horvath. I'll tell you now 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: that's John Cobelt, supervisor. But he voted for Ray Lopez, 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: so that's right. He takes no response because her opponent 19 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: was Bob herb Yeah, her opponent was no Bail Bob, 20 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: and I found two of them to be the worst 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: candidates I'd ever seen, which is saying a lot. Really, 22 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: one of the worst races in US history was trying 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: to choose between Lindsay Horvath and Bob Hertzberg. And I 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: really don't understand the people I live with that these 25 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: two were our choices over the weekend. This kind of 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: went out quietly Saturday, and then it looks like people 27 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: got wind of its Sunday and we started seeing stories 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: pop up. It was something called Los Angeles County to 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: take Actionable next Steps to depopulate and decarcerat the Los 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Angeles County Jails. Well that's a mouthful, huh. They wanted 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: to add it to tomorrow's board meeting. We can tell 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: you right now before we get any further, it was 33 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: withdrawn already, so it didn't even last two days. This 34 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: was going to release thousands of criminals who've been arrested, 35 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: who are in jail awaiting bail up to fifty thousand dollars, 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: many for felonies and serious violet felonies, felonies like let mean, 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: I have a list here. There's a good list of 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: them right here. It is violent offenses such as residential burglary, robbery, 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: and assault with a firearm, domestic violence, a legal possession 40 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: of a firearm, possession of child pornography, just to name 41 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: a few. So if somebody breaks into your house or 42 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: somebody robs you at gunpoint, they would be out immediately, 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: no bail. If you get beaten up by your husband 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: or your wife, out no bail. A felon, a convicted 45 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: felon found with a firearm, no bail. And the guy 46 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: down the street who has a charming child pornography collection, 47 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: he'll be out immediately to molest your son and daughter, 48 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: no bail. And this is from women. I expected different 49 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: way I was. I expected different policy, and women achieved 50 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: the kind of power these women have running LA County, 51 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: which is the most domestic violence, right, you think that 52 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: would be key to to protect the victims of domestic violence. 53 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Don't let the predators out. You're not protecting battered women 54 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: and innocent children. The Lindsay Horvath and Hilda salise, well, 55 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: what is the point of view serving as women? I 56 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: see themselves congratulating all the time. It's like, oh, the 57 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: first all female board of supervisors and LA You may 58 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: not know this, it is the most populated county in 59 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: the nation. There is no county with more people in 60 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: it than LA County. Five women running it. No men, okay, 61 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: white men gone, No black women, no Hispanic men, I'm sorry, 62 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: No black men are Hispanic and no men at all. Nothing. 63 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Those chromosomes are gone. Here. We have the just right 64 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: as the nirvana. This is paradise only women. And what 65 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: do they do they take away? Protect it's against battered 66 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: women and children, protections against pornography, collectors of children. And 67 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: nobody blinks an eye at this. And again this is 68 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: just the move in the direction of just decriminalizing almost 69 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: everything you can think of. I think the only thing 70 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: they would hold up is dangerous, would be murdered and 71 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: probably outright rape. These are these other crimes to them 72 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: are just the fault of society. Let these and so 73 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: what they're hiding behind is mental health issues. What we 74 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: need is care, not jails. And they've been talking about 75 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: this for a couple of years, but they finally made 76 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: their move this past weekend with this effort, which got 77 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: crushed immediately, and he'll dis elease withdrew it this morning 78 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: saying we heard from stakeholders on both sides and we 79 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: need to revisit this. No, no, no, they are so 80 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: full of it. I can smell them from here. They're 81 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: just about releasing prisoners. They have never built a mental 82 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: health facility. They never allocate the money, they never build it. 83 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: They never run a test program to see if it works. 84 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: They just use that as a cover, as a way 85 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: to lie, as a way to confuse people. Hildes Lease 86 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: has no interest in the mental health of any of 87 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: these prisoners. None. She's lying. Lindsay Harvat is lying. They 88 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: do nothing for mental health. They don't care. Doesn't matter 89 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: to them, you know, unless Mark Ridley Thomas needs a 90 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: favor to get his son a job. Apparently there's some 91 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: activist group that's been protesting outside of the Board of 92 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: Supervisors for some time to get them to close the 93 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles. They demand the 94 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Board of Supervisors commit to closing the timeline that would 95 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: shutter the jail completely by March of twenty twenty five. 96 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: The protest came after his reported the three inmates in 97 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: LA died over the course of one week, including one 98 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: in the Men's Central Jail. They don't care about that. 99 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: You have two thousand people dying in the streets. Two 100 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: and vagrants dying in the streets every year unless it's 101 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: their brother people are Look, if they cared, if they 102 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: thought mental health was a real serious issue that could 103 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: be treated, they would have built mental health lockdown clinics. 104 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: Every recover story, it's a cover story. They want to 105 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: release all the prisoners. That is the trendy religious ideology 106 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: of the day. They brought up the racial thing again, 107 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: that's portonately affecting certain communities. And again we make good point, 108 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: and so are the victims. They don't care about what 109 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: happens to black men and women because black men and 110 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: women are overwhelmingly the victims of these people. Okay, how 111 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: many black women do you think get battered by their 112 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: boyfriends and spouses? Huh So, now you're gonna let the 113 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: batterer out free. How many children black children do you 114 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: think are the subject of these pornographic creeps. I'm in 115 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: enough with your cover stories, with your your fake sorrow 116 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: that people are suffering. You don't care about anything other 117 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: than letting the prisoners out. You don't because everybody knows 118 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: that overwhelmingly minority citizens in La County are the victims. Well, 119 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: they can take long for Supervisor Janis hand to say 120 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: she's not in support of this or Catherine Barger, so 121 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: that's two against two. The only woman ever heard from 122 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: today at all was Holly Mitchell. Oh, Holly Mitchell's into this. 123 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: She's one of the most left wing politicians I've ever seen. 124 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: And why did she withdraw it? I don't know, I 125 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: don't know. I cannot believe. Then why doesn't she come 126 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: out with a statement clearly saying where she stands and 127 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: I sell for have The other piece of this, which 128 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: came into place more recently, was that Alex Dean Awavea 129 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: is gone as La County sheriff. He would never because 130 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: this motion directs the sheriff to figure out who can 131 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: be released though with that fifty thousand dollars bail or 132 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: less thing, he wouldn't do that. They're expecting their puppet, 133 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: Robert Luna. Yeah, no, Vaneueva nailed him. He's a puppet. Otherwise, 134 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,239 Speaker 1: by now, what is it, it's almost a quarter after three, 135 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: he would have come out and said, no way am 136 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: I going to cooperate with this. Either they can sue me, 137 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: they can they can arrest me. That's what Vaneueva would 138 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: have done. Now, you know, you know, Luna's on board, 139 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: but a lot of these people are on board quietly. 140 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: Hollie Mitchell's on board quietly for whatever reason, it suits 141 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: them not to go public yet. Yet apparently the people 142 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: in Hans and Salise's district don't even know that Han 143 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: and Salise exist. I will bet you over ninety percent 144 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: of the people in these districts have no idea that 145 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: Hilled the Salise in genis Han or even alive let alone. 146 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 1: That's why they can pull this off. They can pull 147 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: this off in public, in the media, and they get 148 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: no blowback. Everybody else has to provide the blowback. As 149 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: soon as we come back, you will hear another keyword. 150 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: It's your chance and some cash from KFI and iHeart 151 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: that is coming up next.

Anybody guess 159 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: what that is? New York City. Trump will appear for 160 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: his arraignment. This is a charge by the Manhattan District Attorney, 161 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: but of course it was brought down by a grand jury. 162 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: We don't know the specifics exactly yet, but it will include, 163 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: of course, a number of charges related to paying Stormy 164 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: Daniel's money back in twenty sixteen so she wouldn't blab 165 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: about her affair with Trump when he was running for president. 166 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty thousand dollars made it way to 167 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels through Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen. That's the basis 168 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: of the grand jury indictment, the hush money. Now, every 169 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: single NYPD officer is on standby tomorrow. The courtroom is 170 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: in downtown Manhattan.

He flew in this 171 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: afternoon and then made his way into the city and 172 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: waved as he went into Trump Tower's will he hats 173 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: up on fifty sixth Street. He'll hang there overnight and 174 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: then make his way down to the courthouse. I don't 175 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: know the exact time of this appearance, but he's already 176 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: promised that he will make his way back tomorrow, lago 177 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: after his appearance and at five fifteen PMR time, he's 178 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: doing a news conference. He's doing some media event too. 179 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: Of course, you probably know by now his poll numbers 180 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: are increasing as this story develops. He's doing even better 181 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: and better against his Republican opponents. When people who vote 182 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: in the Republican primary learn about this indictment, it just 183 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: really charges them up. He's going to be charged with 184 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: at least two dozen counts, including some felonies. Apparently he 185 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: does not want cameras in the courtroom. We don't know 186 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: how much of a spectacle this is going to be tomorrow. 187 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: Is that his call? No, no, no, But that's just 188 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: what his lawyers have said, that they're against having cameras 189 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: in the courtroom. I don't, I don't know who. Well, 190 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: it's obviously the judge is called. Yeah, the media is 191 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: asking to put cameras in the court. Well, yeah, because 192 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: Trump's campaign doesn't want that to be an endless loop 193 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: in all the commercials against him. Oh, I see, because 194 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: even if he gets acquitted, it's just the look of 195 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: him standing there. The attorney for Trump said it will 196 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: create a circus like atmosphere at the arrangement raise unique 197 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: security concerns. It's inconsistent with Trump's presumption of innocence. But 198 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: there was reports weeks ago that he kind of wanted 199 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: the purp walk and the mug shot and all that. 200 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: I think this thing, I think, yes, I do think 201 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: he wants that. Then then there are adults in his 202 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: in his circle, even know what they his attorneys, who 203 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: don't want him to speak about the charges, because anything 204 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: he says can be held against him, right, and you know, 205 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: once he starts talking, you know, he makes up all 206 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff. He contradicts himself, He makes wild accusations, 207 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: and you you sit down and actually get grilled under 208 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: oath over these things, and it can it can sink you. 209 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: And he's going to be in New York, where there's 210 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: I think I think New York's about ten percent Republicans 211 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: something like that. Yes, and this jury vote is going 212 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: to be a political vote. Yeah, he wants to change 213 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: the venue. He's already made that Clear Island, but that's 214 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: where there's some Republicans, which is yeah, no, they got 215 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: more white conservative Republicans living in Staten Island than anywhere 216 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: else in the city. Uh. Yeah, I thought he was 217 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: the Manhattan DA. Is he the DA for the entire 218 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: city or it was referred to him as Manhattan DA 219 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: L I think it might just be Manhattan, Yeah, because 220 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: that's eight million people there. That's right. They could still 221 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: move the trial to a different borough if they want 222 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: to million in the whole city of New York. He 223 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: has a new attorney. Trump has hired somebody named Todd 224 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: Blanche who was a partner at a big law firm. 225 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: His experience representing defendants like mister Trump, including the former 226 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, was another one of his clients, 227 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: So he joins two other attorneys on the Trump team. 228 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not we're going to see 229 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: a lot of Trump supporters here tomorrow and a lot 230 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: of Trump protesters, whether they'll be thousands, whether it'll be 231 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: ugling in the streets, or it'll be calmer than we expect. 232 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: There's really no way to gauge this. I don't think 233 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: it's preparing for the worst. I don't think anybody could 234 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: predict anything like what's going to happen in terms of 235 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: a verdict, what's going to happen in terms of how 236 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: it affects his run for office. How people are going 237 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: to react. Yeah, and whether or not tomorrow is even 238 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: crazy rioting or nothing, I don't know, but you know 239 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: we're probably doomed to have another not rational campaign cycle. 240 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: Oh I think we're talking about Hump's not going away, 241 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: even if he's charged and tried. We're talking about the 242 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: issues and the problems. Is really a waster time because 243 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: people's votes have nothing to do with that anymore. Remember 244 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: why he ran for president in the first place in 245 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen because they made fun of him at one 246 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: of those what was a White House correspondent Obama did? 247 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: Obama had a see So he's always about revenge and 248 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: then he thinks he won the election in twenty twenty, 249 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: So that's what this is about. An Audie indictment makes 250 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: that even stronger that he has to make his comeback. 251 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: So he's not going anywhere. But John, we got very 252 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: exciting news yesterday on ABC Networks This Week News program. 253 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: One of your old time favorites is running for president, 254 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: the former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson. And believe it or not, 255 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: there was one listener put it in an immediate request 256 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: he'd like to hear your interview again. With Asadgson from 257 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and three I think it was, or it 258 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: was two thousand and four. I remember for that, but 259 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: I couldn't remember specifically what it was about. I knew 260 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: it was about immigration. Oh yeah, well, I look up 261 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: the news story. Darrell Lisa made it happen. Daryl Issa's 262 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: a long time congressman. He was gonna hold this town 263 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: hall at a gym about the legal immigration, but he 264 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: arranged for Asa Hutchinson, who was some sort of deputy 265 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: in the Department of Homeland Security, to come on the 266 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: air and you call him out on the on the 267 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I found a news story about it. Oh no, 268 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: he did. Huh yeah, one of those odd ball political stories. Um. 269 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: It actually led to political human sacrifice where we David Dryer, Yeah, 270 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: where we took a number of local Republicans and held 271 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: them up for possible political sacrifice because they were so 272 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: full of crap about opposing Yeah, it says here, Um 273 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: it says John and can have wondered why no Republican 274 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: congressional representative in southern California has a passion for enforcement 275 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: for illegal immigrations because Assa Hutchinson. That's what used to 276 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: call him was the Undersecretary for Border and Transportation, and 277 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: they were doing raids, remember immigration raids on businesses, oh right, 278 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: the factories and stuff. And a congressman here in southern 279 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: California at the time named Joe Baca, a Democrat, marched 280 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: into Hutchinson's office to demand that the raids end, and 281 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Hutchinson caved, and he came on the air with us 282 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: because Hutchinson's staff couldn't get any work done because the 283 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: pro enforcement callers wouldn't stop calling his telephone, and he 284 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: thought that he could quiet the torrent of calls by 285 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: coming on our show and doing his standard public relations. 286 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: So it was a twenty two minute uninterrupted interview, which 287 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: this site says was a classic example of political tap dance. 288 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: But he refused to answer direct questions about interior and 289 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: workplace enforcement. Um and so then then we developed our 290 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: plan to play the human sacrifice, sacrifice starting to a 291 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: draw full of T shirts. We still have, that's right, 292 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: I have them at my home. But Assa Hutchinson is 293 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: a complete phony, a complete fake. I wouldn't vote for 294 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: him if Kamala Harris was the alternative he was. He's 295 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: just a total disaster of a politician. No need to 296 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: ask him to come on the show. I don't think 297 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna make munch of a DENTI he's a dud. 298 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: He's he's another Eric Arcetti. He's going to get the asterisk. 299 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: All right, we're coming up, Tony Ken kf I AM 300 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: six forty. We're live everywhere the iHeartRadio app. You're listening 301 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: to John and Ken on demand from kf I AM six. 302 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: You know, it was last Thursday, right before we came 303 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: on the air, we got the word that Mark Ridley Thomas, 304 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: the disgraced and suspended Los Angeles City Council member and 305 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: former Board of the Supervisors member, had been convicted of 306 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: felonies involved in a corruption case with the USC School 307 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: of Social Work. Well, how do I say this? What 308 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: I didn't expect is to come on the air Friday 309 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: and start reading stories that people were upset with the conviction. 310 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: And then another story popped up on Sunday by three 311 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: El Segundo Times writers where apparently public tributes are weighing in. 312 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 1: He's being treated as if he passed away, and he's 313 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: being appreciated for his service, and nobody seems to care 314 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: that he's a convicted felon leading the way, John is 315 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: your favorite bone headed Mike Bonnen. Well, yes, and that's 316 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: why there's there's an asterisk care because the headline is 317 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas's conviction brings public tributes. Wow, look who's giving 318 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: the tribunes. Well, Bonnen the single more city councilman in 319 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: the history of America. He isn't the only one, though, 320 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: bass Mayor Bassetti. Steve Soberoff, who I think you met once, 321 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: who's on the board of Yes, he tried to run 322 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: from may or something. I talked to him a few times. 323 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: State Senator Stephen Bradford, who we pillar read a couple 324 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: weeks ago over the public safety stuff they're all weighing 325 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: in with. But wonderful. What I'm saying is normally politicians 326 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: say nothing, or they say well, it's sad, that's about all. 327 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: They'll say. Oh, this crowd doesn't care anymore because because 328 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: we were pillaring Bradford because he doesn't think Fentonville pushers 329 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: who kill your teenage children ought to go to prison, 330 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: all right? And Bonnen doesn't care if thousands of homeless 331 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: people die in the streets, or if you die in 332 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: a street from a homeless attack. So this is the 333 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: quality of people who support Ridley Thomas. Times is trying 334 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: to make it sound like, well he's different. Nobody did 335 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,120 Speaker 1: this when Jose weez Are played guilty and Mitch England, 336 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: the former city council members and the guy that used 337 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: to head up the Department of Order in Power, nobody 338 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: poured out tributes. But Mark Thomas. It's a blow to 339 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: the city and the communities he represented. But look another 340 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: way here, Tavis Smiley, this guy got chased out of 341 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: PBS because of all the sexual harassment charge talk shows. 342 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: But the only way he got back on the areas 343 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: he bought a radio station in town because nobody would 344 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: hire him for the last five years. And what is 345 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: it a dash in the ratings? It's no, it's zero 346 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: in the ratings, in fact zero. Yes, there's nothing there. 347 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, but the people that they quote is mister 348 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: sexual harass or who can't get a job, bought his 349 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: own station for five dollars. But also, Ridley Thomas was 350 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: tied into religious groups for so many years. You have 351 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: this big pastor who Southern Christian Leadership Conference. It wasn't 352 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: supposed to go down like this. Everyone thought he was 353 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: going to be exonerated because he is a hero to us. 354 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: So they're trying to say, remember he did good things, 355 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: don't worry about this conviction. I don't know what the 356 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: good things are unless it's spending other people's money. Oh 357 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: and then they tried to make another show of the racism. 358 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: Oh they're railroading another black man forgetting that his code 359 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: defense was an old white woman. That's right, and Mitch 360 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: England Flynn. Mitch Englander was white and Jose Weezar was Hispanic, 361 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: and the general manager of the d WP he was 362 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: white as well, So that that that's a load of horsecrap. 363 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: Person gone after criminals. The only person they dug up 364 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: that was quote on the other side of this is 365 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: former police chief Bernie Parks, remember him. He was also 366 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: on the council too, and he lost. I didn't remember this. 367 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: He lost to No. Eight to Ridley Thomas, Freleigh County supervisor. 368 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: And he said that he was not indicted because he's 369 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: black or because he was too successful. He was indicted 370 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: and convicted because he committed several serious thought any crimes. 371 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: It's just that simply, you know what, that's got to 372 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: be the big pushback. Anybody who starts claiming that somebody 373 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: has been uh convicted or or charged or indicted because 374 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: he is blank right, he's part of some protected group. 375 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: You have to stop and say no, he's being charged 376 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: or he's been convicted because the evidence indicates he did 377 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: this crime, So stop it. The implication I get when 378 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: I read some of this between the lines is well, 379 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: you know, most politicians are corrupt, but they go after 380 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: the successful black ones because they want to bring them down. 381 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: So they started digging around and Ridley Thomas's affairs. That's 382 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: kind of the idea I got that they who else 383 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: who else was who else black? Was targeted in these 384 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: rounds of investigations. I like I said, I mean they 385 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: went after the DWP guys. I think they were all white. 386 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: I know David Wright was yeah, and and and So 387 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: it's just bitter because this is somebody who helped up 388 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: as an incredible role model. It's a lie. And I 389 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: think you touched on it the other day that Ridley Thomas, 390 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: the way he comports himself, he's like this commanding pastoral presidence. 391 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: People a voice, you're afraid of him, or they're just 392 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: like them daddy type because we have to stay in line, 393 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: and he's got to be He's got to be up 394 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: and up because listen to the way he talks and 395 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: he acts. He was constantly shouting racism to intimidate people, 396 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: all right, he was. He starts shouting about racism when 397 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: he was caught spending seven hundred thousand dollars on his 398 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: office remodel. All right, that should be embarrassing. He should 399 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: have said he's sorry. He should have done that. He 400 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: acted like a greed bag, and he abused the public trust, 401 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: which is what he did. But instead he was shouting 402 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: racism about that. He was shouting racism at us when 403 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: we pointed out that his Kyliseum was in a really crappy, 404 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: dangerous area, which it was, all right, It's always about 405 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: this is the whole era of denying truth, denying what's 406 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: clear in front of your own eyes, and we just 407 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: don't put up with this. We're gonna keep telling you 408 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: what is clearly obviously true that we can see with 409 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: our own eyes. Markley Thomas, I've seen this guy for decades. 410 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: He's a corrupt gas bag, is what he is. It's 411 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: what I thought the first time I heard of him, 412 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: and the decades that we've done this whenever we've come 413 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: up with corrupt public officials who get you know, either 414 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: plea deals or convicted in a jury trial. I've never 415 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: seen this before. And I one, two, three, like four 416 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: articles have appeared that are acting like this, but it's 417 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: not like this as an outrageous injustice, but that they 418 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: shouldn't have targeted this man because it's too good, because 419 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: he's a high priest of woke land. Here because where 420 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: are you getting most of this from the La Times. 421 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't see any tributes going on in any other 422 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: media outlets the La Times, because it's it's, it's, it's, 423 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: it's it's not a newspaper anymore. Oh and one other 424 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: good angle to this story, which you and I have 425 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: talked about before. The prosecution never tried to make it 426 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: look like Ridley Thomas pressure the other supervisors to vote 427 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: these USC contracts, that he just wanted to make sure 428 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: that they got attention. And the defense put up Sheila 429 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: Kill and Johanna's hand but apparently didn't matter to make 430 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: the point. Oh no, we didn't feel pressured, but that 431 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: isn't the point. The La County Board of Supervisors, they 432 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: pretty much let each other do what they want. Trust 433 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: you have your own little fiefdom there. I've heard Ridley 434 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: Thomas has all had already intimidated long time ago. Everybody 435 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: on the LA County Board of Supervisors. He didn't have 436 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 1: to knock on their door to twist their arms. Nobody 437 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: wanted to confront him. Anything he wanted he got. He'd 438 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: already pre bullied the women on the LA County Board 439 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: of Supervisors. So, but they're they're not going to testify 440 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: to that. They're not going to admit it because that 441 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: would violate, you know, the woke priest to it. Well, 442 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: the last quote of the story, John is once again 443 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: from Mary. It's not your friend, but Steve silver Off, 444 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: the police commissioner. Yeah, he says, the conviction doesn't overshadow 445 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: the good works. The mistake to me is an asterisky. 446 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: Conviction for corruption is an asterisk. Yeah. Well, I'm glad 447 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: that boob didn't get pretty far in government. No, I'm 448 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: glad his political career went down in Flames a long 449 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: time ago. Because they're all part of the problem. I 450 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: don't care what their titles are. We have one party rule. 451 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: It's not just one party rule, it's the corrupt arm 452 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: of the party. Like we went through all the city 453 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: council people the other day. You got three gone to 454 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: federal prison. You got two who were forced out over 455 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: that audio tape, and the third one is still hanging 456 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: on deally On. You have three now Democratic Communists, Democratic 457 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: Socialists of America right, and you have Mike Bonnet. That 458 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: is ten repugnant characters on city Council within the last 459 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: three years, ten of them and the council's only fifteen people. 460 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: That's what I told you. The Feds could be targeted 461 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: a lot of politicians if they had the time. All Right, 462 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: more coming up, Johnny Ken k IF I am six 463 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: forty We're live everywhere the Eye Guard Radio app. The 464 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: wokeheads at the Times endorsed early every single one of them. 465 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI.

Well, we 476 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: have a sort of a reverse story now coming out 477 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: of Russia. Usually when there's somebody that speaks out against 478 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 1: a lot of mer Putin's war against Ukraine, what they 479 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: fall off balconies, they disappear, umbrella in the butt. This 480 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: time it was the reverse. There was a staunch supporter 481 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: of Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine. His name was Vladdin 482 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: vlad lein Tatarski. He was having a discussion at a 483 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: cafe on the bank of the Neva River in the 484 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: historic heart of Saint Petersburg. He was lecturing to people. 485 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: A woman apparently came along and said that she was 486 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: a big fan and presented him with a bust of himself. 487 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: That's right, a sculpture. It looked just like the blogger. 488 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: He's a Russian military blogger, vlad vladlind Tatarski. Supposedly he 489 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: even said, thank you, it even looks like me. Well, 490 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: she left and it blew up and killed him. She 491 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: hid an explosive inside the sculpture. Well, isn't that really 492 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: that's the work of like a Putin operative, isn't it? 493 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: Remember the needle the umbrella needles? Second? Yeah, so she 494 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: blew him up because he was a public supporter of Putin. Yes, 495 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: she's an anti war person and they've now arrested her 496 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: claiming that she did this. She carried a bust of 497 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: the blogger into the cafe that was rigged as a bomb. 498 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: What did you want to share? A remote control to 499 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: set it off? I think so? Or maybe just a timer. 500 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: She just knew if I get out of here with 501 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: him the next few minutes, because he probably just put 502 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: it down on the table and continued blowviating, right, but 503 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: it'd be close enough to him because it's like, all 504 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: I got to take that home later. That's I think 505 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: there's something funny. He was probably so flattered. Is ego 506 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 1: swelled up? Yeah? Wow? This woman created this from me 507 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: and it looks like me what a tribute? What happened 508 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: to him? Does it say well he got blowed up? 509 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: He's dead? No, I know, But I mean how bad 510 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: was the d You want what you want to blow 511 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: by blow to know whether or not he was how 512 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: many pieces he was in. Remember what happened in the 513 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: Middle East some years ago, and there were photos the 514 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 1: drone strike. No, no, no no, that the guy who oh, 515 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: he put himself up next to some right like a 516 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: stomach bomb or something right exactly. So he blew himself 517 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: up and he blew the guy next to him. He 518 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: blew up to guy next to him, and there were 519 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: some photos. It was just like body parts everywhere, arms, legs, 520 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: had the whole thing. All right. There's some Saudi person 521 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: I think with the royal family. Oh so I just 522 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: wondered if this guy just went his pieces went all 523 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: over them. Now the way it's explained, this woman her name, 524 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: she identified herself as Nastia an ast Y, a Nastia, 525 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: and she actually was talking in exchanging comments with this guy, 526 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: and then she wanted to present the bust, and the 527 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: guards said just leave it at the door, so she 528 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: apparently they both joked and laughed, and then she went 529 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: to the door, grabbed the bust and presented it directly 530 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: to him, and then I guess he put the I 531 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: was right, he put the bust on a nearby table 532 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: and the explosion followed. But she must have gotten out 533 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: of there because they just arrested her. This is, of course, 534 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: is what the Russians are saying happened. We can't be certain, 535 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: although I'm pretty sure this guy, well, this guy is 536 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: dead though. Uh yeah, he apparently he is dead, right right. 537 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: The twenty twenty three year old Saint Petersburg woman rather 538 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: than a Daria Tripova. Triapova, has been arrested on suspicious 539 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: of involvement in the bombing, and apparently they put out 540 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: a video because she does admit she brought the exploding 541 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: bust into the cafe. When asked why, she said she 542 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't say. She may say later, but it's believed that 543 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: she's anti war activists. I think she's been on their 544 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: Radarnink the program. I know. No, it just says there 545 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: was all sorts of debris, but it doesn't say I don't. 546 00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: I find that hysterical as funny as political assinations can be. Yeah, 547 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: I had forgotten that they killed that woman last year, 548 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: remember the nationalist TV commentator they blew up her SUV. Yes, 549 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: that was also blamed on Ukraine. Yea, so they have 550 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: a history of doing this. Tim Conway's here, Hey, now hey, 551 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: now hey, by the way, you know that that article 552 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: the La Times came out five am yesterday and I 553 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: was up, so I saw it when it came out. 554 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: The praise for um, what's his name, Margaret Ridley Thomas, 555 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas. I think that started from you guys, because 556 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: you're the only guys on the air that said this 557 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: is crazy, right, And I didn't hear it he see 558 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: it on TV or imprint or on the radio anywhere 559 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: other than you two. I think they try to refute 560 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: us with their editorials and columns. I do, but you know, 561 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: I sort of read that article differently, like like they 562 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: were they were curious why there was so much praise 563 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: for this guy too. You know, maybe you could look 564 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: at it that way. Yeah, you're right, they're like, Wow, 565 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: what's going on here? McDonald's closed their office to fire 566 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: people that you know, it's serious. Oh wow.

Yeah, your final meal. Um. 571 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: And then we have the police chase that happened today, 572 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: another cop car stolen. That's kind of interesting. Yeah. Man, 573 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: it's two cop cars stolen in less than a week. 574 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: I know, what's this a new trend? Yeah? Well, you 575 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: know what it is is that the cops leave their 576 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: cars on when they when they pull somebody over, when 577 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: they're investigating something case. They have to get them real 578 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: quick and take off right. Yeah, So would you be confused, 579 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: Tim if you turned on the Chase on TV and 580 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: you're seeing just a row of cop cars, you can 581 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: where's the guy that chase it?
