1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Can'f I am six forty you're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 2: I'm Doug Mcatyre in for John Cobblet. John will be 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: back tomorrow. So if you're not Election Day, Super Tuesday, 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 2: and there's all kinds of stuff, we're gonna get into 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: Conway at four o'clock, So hang in there with us. 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: And by the way, we've got lots of things to 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: get into, including that story out of Beverly Hills, that 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: middle school in Beverly Hills that has an AI nude 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: scandal where students were making AI images nudes of their 11 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: classmates and sending them around, and so opens up a 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 2: whole world to hurt and all kinds of new challenges 13 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 2: for law enforcement, for parents and for kids trying to negotiate, 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: and for society in general. This new tool that has 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: tremendous potential for good, but also sadly, it can go 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: the other way as well. So we'll get into that 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: in just a bit. We'll also talk about all of 18 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: the ballot measures and stuff that are up for grabs 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: on Super Tuesday. Here local the Supreme Court made a 20 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 2: major decision rejecting the bid for Colorado to ban Donald 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: Trump from the ballot in that state. That would also 22 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: apply to Illinois and Maine, the other two that have 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 2: tried to do that because of the Fourteenth Amendment and insurrection, etc. 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: I think that's the right decision. This has not been 25 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: adjudicated that Donald Trump has not been found guilty of it. 26 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: That's what the Jack Smith trial is about now. Personally, 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 2: I believe that he's responsible for what happened on January sixth, 28 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: but the courts haven't ruled that way. There hasn't been 29 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: a trial. You can't punish somebody and kick him off 30 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 2: the battle for that anyway. The courts have made the 31 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: ruling and that will go forward. So we'll get into 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: all that in a bit tomorrow. Election day in the 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: city of Las in the County of Los Angeles one 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: of the most important races we've ever had, I think, 35 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 2: which is the battle for a district attorney. As you 36 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: know George Gascon here at KFI and other places, we 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: haven't been shy about criticizing the enc and now it's 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: time for the voters to either put up a shut 39 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: up on it. Joining us right now as a gentleman 40 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: who knows that office very well because he held it 41 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: for many years very successfully. He has endorsed Nathan Hockman, 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: and he'll talk about that, but talk about the job 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: of DA and what is on the line here. It's 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: a pleasure to welcome to KFI Steve Cooley. Good morning, 45 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: Good afternoon, mister Cooley. 46 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: How are you good, Doug, how are you doing great? 47 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for ben with us. It's been a 48 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: long time, Sin I've had a chance to chat with you, 49 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: so thanks for making time. I appreciate it, my pleasure. 50 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: So first of all, let's start with you've publicly endorsed 51 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: Nathan Hackman. Talk to us about mister Hackman and why 52 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: you support him over the other eleven candidates. 53 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 3: I was supportive of Nathan Hockman from the very beginning, 54 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: even prior to his announcement. I strongly encouraged him to 55 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: run for DA because I knew that he had the 56 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: character and the principles and quite frankly, the ability to 57 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: win against George Gascone. As he has proven. He's been 58 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: a very good fundraiser, he's run a good campaign, and 59 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: I think that he will emerge as the other nominee 60 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: other than George Gascon and then he'll be elected Dieve 61 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles County. He is eminently well qualified, and 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: I know he'll put a good team together, which is 63 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 3: what that office needs to get back on a street. 64 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: Steve, because of your resume, I mean, you know how 65 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: the DA's office works intimately and how it doesn't work. 66 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: By the way, in some ways, that's almost as important 67 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: as a lesson is to know what doesn't work. Can 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: you talk to us about what the challenges are for 69 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: this particular job, because you know, sometimes we were so 70 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: close to the forest, we're not seeing the trees. More 71 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: than ten million people in La County, this is an 72 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: enormous job, This is an enormous responsibility, and I think 73 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: that many, many, many millions of people just get a 74 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: visceral sense that we've kind of gone off the rails here. 75 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: Well, we're totally off the rails at George Gascone. His 76 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: failing is he doesn't follow the law, period and he 77 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 3: surrounded himself with incredibly lousy, rotten, no good, misguided individuals 78 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 3: at the highest levels in that office, people that shouldn't 79 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 3: be there. And that gives you a clue of how 80 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: to run the office. You won your principle, you follow 81 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 3: the law, you do your best to ascertain the true facts, 82 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: and then you execute even handed, accurate justice. That's not 83 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: being done now with the George gascon. One of the 84 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 3: very important things about being a successful district attorney, an 85 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 3: elected district attorney, is to have good people around you. 86 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: I'm talking about at the executive level, in the middle 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: management level. You need to have good people. And there's 88 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 3: plenty of good people in office who have been shunned 89 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 3: and shunted and retaliated against and disciplined unnecessarily. The morale 90 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: is in the toilet, and I think that it can 91 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: be fixed very easily. Just get rid of George Gascone. 92 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 3: Quite frankly, I consider to be the worst different attorney 93 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: in La County one hundred and seventy five year history, 94 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 3: and probably the most dangerous man in Los Angeles County 95 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: right now because of all the harm he's created with 96 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: his policies. 97 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: Now, you know, in San Francisco they actually rejected and 98 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: recalled their version of George Gascoon. Of course, he left 99 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 2: his footprints all over that city, his fingerprints all over 100 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 2: that city as well. Los Angeles. You know, we've seen 101 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: both the state as you know, when Kamala Harris won 102 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: the Attorney General's seat in a very very close election, 103 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: and when Jackie Lacy was defeated. We've seen the voters 104 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: of California and Los Angeles go the other way in 105 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: the aftermath of things like the George Floyd case, et cetera, 106 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: et cetera, bendover backwards to be accommodating to quote unquote reforms, 107 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: but meanwhile, the quality of life issues that we've experienced. 108 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: You know, they can quote whatever stats they want. Our 109 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 2: eyes are not lying to what we're seeing. 110 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna believe what you see or someone else's 111 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: version that they're trying to tell you, which you know 112 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 3: does not exist. George Gascone ordered his deputy das that 113 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: they could not prosecute a whole array of misdemeanors. They 114 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: had to reject them, even though they were valid arrests 115 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 3: by law enforcement. The elements were there. He said, you 116 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: shall not file these misdemeanors. Those misdemeanors that he ordered 117 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: to not be filed cresspass prosecution was ession of drugs, 118 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 3: resisting arrest, on and on. That does all go to 119 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: two things, keeping the peace and quality of life, and 120 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: both of those have gone down under George Gascon because 121 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: of his misguided policies, basically saying, don't enforce those laws. 122 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: So I think that across the whole spectrum, the misdemeanors 123 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: and quality of life, all the way up to properly 124 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: sentencing the very most violent individuals who commit crimes, he's failed. 125 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: He has gone a direction where he basically is against incarceration. 126 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 3: He's ordered his deputy DA's that they cannot argue or 127 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: in the prisoner jail time if the offense is one 128 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 3: where a person could get probation, that's not rational. That 129 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 3: doesn't help the judges meet out and appropriate sentence. Originally, 130 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 3: every policy he has goes against well public safety and 131 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: quite common sense. 132 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also this to me, it's this misguided 133 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: sense of humanitarian you know, I don't even know what 134 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: the word for it is. But when you when you're 135 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 2: not taking people off the streets who are clearly a 136 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: threat to themselves and others, and you talk to business 137 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: owners who have had so many fires set in the 138 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: doorways of their businesses that they can't get fire insurance anymore. 139 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: I mean, these are canaries in the coal mine. Of 140 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: a society that's in free fall. It's not sustainable that 141 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: you're You're totally correct. 142 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: And the most recent example is gasconas ordered his deputies 143 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: to not file serious misdemeanors involving these Greek takeovers and 144 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 3: screet racing or what does that? I just pushed people 145 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: at a risk. There's no record of these quite frankly 146 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: very dangerous individuals who are engaging in these very dangerous activities, 147 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: but he wants there to be no filing him off 148 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: to some kind of a hearing officer, no record of 149 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: a conviction, and no punishment effectively. So that's just one 150 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 3: of many instances where his policies are endangering the public 151 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: and he say, well, there's some sense of humanitarianism. Tell 152 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 3: that to the mothers these two Elmani police officers who 153 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: were killed by ex Kahn, who are beating up his girlfriend. 154 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: He had a gun, but he should have been in prison, 155 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: but George Gascone said, do not file, do not file 156 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 3: strike priors, and this individual got twenty days time served 157 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: instead of getting two years in state prison. Both officers 158 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: would not be dead butt for George gascon and his policies. 159 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 3: It's that simple. 160 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: Well, Tomorrow is a big day. I think it's the 161 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 2: most important race in some ways on the ballot, So 162 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 2: we'll see what the voters do.

I heard that test 173 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: of the emergency broadcasting system and I was halfway down 174 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: the elevator to my car. I was just getting out, 175 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: and then I realized it was a test, so I 176 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: had to come back anyway. It's McIntyre in for John Cobbolt. 177 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 2: John'll be back tomorrow, Election Day, Conway at four o'clock. 178 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 2: And there's a chase going on. It's not a particularly 179 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: high speed chase because it's on surface streets right now, 180 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: on First Street, South Maine in downtown LA. Just kind 181 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: of wandering around. At one point, this character in this 182 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: white pickup truck, small white pickup truck. He's up on 183 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 2: a sidewalk now LAPD of course, in pursuit, he was 184 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: on the ten Freeway going the wrong way. I don't 185 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: know that if Conway is in that trick. Now he's not, 186 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: but I'm sure that Timmy will be following this intimately 187 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: as he is. He's driving across the sidewalk now in 188 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 2: downtown LA. They may try a pit maneuver right now unsuccessfully. 189 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: So now the truck is now headed on South Los 190 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: Angeles Street and First Street in downtown, and we will 191 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: keep an eye on that. It's obviously dangerous because he's 192 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: on these surface streets with his pedestrians and a lot 193 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: of traffic. So I will remain on that. This is 194 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: Super Tuesday Eve tomorrow. At this time, people all across 195 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: America will still be voting, and then the headline will 196 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,359 Speaker 2: be Donald Trump and Joe Biden are almost the nominees, 197 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: which we could be saying today without voting. But the 198 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: bottom line is is that we'll leave the national stuff alone. 199 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: The big national story, of course, is the Supreme Court 200 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: ruling that Donald Trump will be on the ballot in Colorado, 201 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: Illinois and Maine that the states don't have the right 202 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: to bounce them based on the insurrection portion of the 203 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: fourteenth Amendment. I think that's the right call. Now, had 204 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: there been a trial, had Jack Smith in Washington and 205 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: the January sixth trial come in with a guilty verdict, 206 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: now we're talking something else. But that trial hasn't taken 207 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: place yet, So you can't give a political death penalty 208 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: based up. They're jumping out of the truck right now 209 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: and taking football, running acrossover a fence up some stairs. 210 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: Now he's got his hands up and out of camera range, 211 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: but looks like this is coming to an end. And 212 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: that's at Wall Street at San Julian Street in downtown 213 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Okay, So fortunately nobody got hurt, which is 214 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: the good good news. LAPD have the guy. He's shackled 215 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 2: and will now be spending tonight a courtesy of the 216 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 2: taxpayers of US, unless George gass Gone wins, in which case, 217 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 2: of course, I'll be back in the road tomorrow. Okay, 218 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 2: So so anyway, we'll leave the national stuff aside. We 219 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: got a lot of big things on the ballot. We 220 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: just talked with Steve Cooley, the hugely important DA's race. 221 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 2: We also have the Senate race, which features, of course, 222 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: as you know, three Democrats, prominent Democrats, with Adam Schiff 223 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 2: and Katie Porter and Barbara Lee all members of Congress. 224 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 2: It looks like right now, it looks like it would 225 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 2: be Adam Schiff versus Republican Steve Garvey, number six from 226 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: your Los Angeles Dodgers pay for the Padres briefly as well, 227 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 2: and this was clearly a strategy for Adam Schiff was 228 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: to beat up Katie Porter and really basically support Steve 229 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 2: Garvey because he can do the math and look at 230 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 2: all those registered Democrats who voted for Hillary Clinton by 231 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: the millions in twenty sixteen and Joe Biden in twenty 232 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: twenty and figured, give me a piece of a Republican 233 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: and then we'll just hang Donald Trump around his neck 234 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: and that'll be the Senate seat for us. And frankly, 235 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 2: it's smart strategy. If you're interested in winning, that's the 236 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: way to go. I actually, I think there will be 237 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: a net benefit if it turns out to play out 238 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: that way. Whether it's Katie Porter or Adam Scheff or 239 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: Barbara Lee is really irrelevant. The bottom line is is 240 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: that you know, the way politicians follow their party leaders 241 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: and just vote the party line on things. History won't 242 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: change much whether it's Adam Scheff or Katie Porter. It 243 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: actually would change more with Barbara Lee, who tends to 244 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: be more of a lone wolf and follow our own 245 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: path than the other two. But at least if you have, 246 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: if you have Steve Garvey in the race for November, 247 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: between now and November, then at least there is a 248 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: chance you'll have alternate points of view represented. Because if 249 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: you have Adam Schiff and Katie Porter running against each other, 250 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: what are they gonna say blue or bluer? I mean, 251 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to. I mean, it's gotta 252 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: be what it would be like. This crazy idea that 253 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: we have of the top two runoff elections means that 254 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: we have no real exchange of ideas. We just have 255 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: exchange of personalities. And you got Katie's whiteboard against you know, 256 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: Adam Schiff's, you know, Trump hearings, and who's the tougher 257 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: anti Trump candidate And that's what the whole election will be. 258 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: Whereas at least there might be some ideological differences expressed 259 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: if you have Steve Garvey now he has no chance 260 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: of winning. I just can't. It would be the biggest 261 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: upset in history if he managed somehow in the bluest 262 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: of blue states to pull off a Senate seat that 263 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: was once occupied by Diane Feinstein for one hundred years. 264 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: It's just hard to imagine that happening. So we can 265 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 2: almost really kind of skip that one and just say, well, 266 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: it'll be interesting if Steve Garvey makes the runoff. He 267 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: might even, by the way, win if you look at it, 268 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: I mean, everybody who's not a Democrat has got Steve 269 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: Garvey to vote for one person as opposed to all 270 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: the people who are running, you know, in the Democratic ticket, 271 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: just you know, picking off support, which means Steve Garvey 272 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: could end up becoming the top vote getter, but that 273 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: won't be the case in November. Then you've got these 274 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: important ballot measures PROP one and specifically HLA, which is 275 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: another road diet kind of you know, bike rider initiative 276 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: that will take more lanes away from cars and make 277 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: it even harder to drive in a city that's already 278 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: really hard to drive in. Under the guys that this 279 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: will somehow make it safer and every place where they 280 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: have done this, they have yet to demonstrate that it 281 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: makes the road safer. In fact, the fire departments is 282 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: it'll make it more dangerous. It makes it harder for 283 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: the fire engines to get through, and drives more traffic 284 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: by the way with GPS and ways through neighborhoods and 285 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: making people's mornings morning commutes go through residential neighborhoods. And 286 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: then there's Prop one, which purports to address some critical 287 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: needs in mental health and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. But 288 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: it's got, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars more 289 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: spent on quote unquote affordable housing. And I don't see 290 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: how you could ever build cheap housing when the land 291 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: is expensive. 292 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 4: Listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six. 293 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: Forty, macatyre in for John Cobbolt John, I'll be back 294 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: tomorrow Conway, coming up at four o'clock. Mo Kelly coming 295 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 2: up at seven o'clock. That's kind of what we do 296 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: here right Tomorrow's election days of going out there and 297 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 2: vote as many times as you want. This is modern America. 298 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: Just have fun, all right, ladies and gentlemen. We got 299 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff to get into here in the 300 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: time remaining, And I want to remind you again that 301 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 2: I authored a book called Frank's Shadow, which I'm very 302 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 2: proud of, and it's available at Amazon dot com. If 303 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: you are so inclined, please grab a copy or buy 304 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 2: in bulk, buy a whole bunch of copies. I got 305 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: bills to pay. You can get him at Amazon dot 306 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: com and find bookstores everywhere. So Frank Shadow, please, I 307 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 2: would be much obliged. This story certainly made a lot 308 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: of news because it's deeply disturbing. This middle school in 309 00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 2: Beverly Hills, it's called Beverly Vista Middle School. Students had 310 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 2: seen these porno Taylor's Swift videos that were made through AI. 311 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 2: It's not Taylor's Swift. They put her face on someone 312 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 2: else's body doing all kinds of freaky things, and they said, oh, 313 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: we could do that with our classmates, and they started 314 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: doing it and sharing it. It's very traumatic for the 315 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: kids who are victims of this, and there are genuine victims. 316 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 2: What's not clear is whether or not there's any law 317 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 2: against it because it's an AI tool, but clearly there's 318 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: a victim. Where this whole AI thing becomes hugely problematic 319 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: is when you get into things like kitty porn, where 320 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: the entire image is generated digitally. In other words, there's 321 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 2: no actual photography of a child. And they've been doing 322 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 2: this for a while. These pervs have been doing this 323 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: where they make kitty porn using just basically their ability 324 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: to manipulate images so that there's no actual victim in 325 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: the sense that there's no child that has with a 326 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: name and a social Security number that's been exploited. It's 327 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: a synthesis of a whole bunch of pictures, so you 328 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: can't point to a specific victim. And these are just 329 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: one of the countless new problems that have arisen in 330 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 2: the digital age. You know, there's an all thing. When 331 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: we rode horses, horse thieves were a big problem. You 332 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 2: don't hear a lot about horse thieves anymore. Every once 333 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 2: in a while somebody pinches a pony and you got 334 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: to deal with it, right, But for the most part, 335 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: we don't have a lot of horse thieves running around anymore. 336 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: But we've got all these new technologies and we've got 337 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: to chase the perpetrators of these new kinds of crimes, 338 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: and oftentimes means we've got to pass a whole bunch 339 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 2: of laws to deal with these things that no one 340 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: could have even conceived of, and this is certainly a 341 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: textbook example of it. You know something else that I 342 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: saw these stories that are worth noting. The CDC says 343 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 2: that we're still averaging five hundred alcohol related deaths day 344 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: in this country. So people are still boozing up and 345 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: drinking themselves to death or causing alcohol related accidents. But 346 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 2: the caboose on this is the fentanyl deaths and how 347 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 2: unbelievably dangerous this stuff is. And I don't know why 348 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: we don't spend more talking about this, more time talking 349 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: about this. Roughly sixty two thousand pounds of fentanyl we're 350 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: smuggled into California and confiscated by authorities in twenty twenty three. 351 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: Now that is enough fentanyl to kill the entire population 352 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: of Earth twice. Let me repeat that, so that that 353 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 2: can soak it. You know, we spend a lot of 354 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: time worrying about, you know, nukes, worrying about nuclear weapons 355 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: falling into the wrong hands or putent shaken, the nuclear 356 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: saber rattling that at us, which he's doing a lot, 357 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: by the way, And then you got Pajama Boy in 358 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 2: North Korea, and then you got you know, China, You've 359 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: got all these problems you've got in the Iranian government. 360 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 2: Whether or not the Ayatola geinst nuclear weapons legitimate concerns 361 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: something to definitely consider. But we have quietly going on. 362 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: Just in California, sixty two thousand pounds of fentanyl, though 363 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 2: it was confiscated last year alone, enough to wipe out 364 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 2: the Earth's population twice, and we just say, you know whatever, 365 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 2: it's just something we're dealing with. In twenty twenty one, 366 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: California authority sees more than fifty three hundred pounds of 367 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 2: fentanyl with a street value of sixty four million. In 368 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, they grabbed twenty eight thousand pounds with 369 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 2: a street value of two hundred and thirty million. In 370 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,959 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, sixty two thousand pounds worth roughly six 371 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy million dollars. And there's the problem. It's 372 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 2: so much money, so easy to do. It's coming in 373 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: from China, it's coming in from Mexico, it's probably coming 374 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: across Canada, and for all we know, it's coming in 375 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 2: from every international airport in the country. You know, we 376 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 2: got international airports everywhere. Nashville, Tennessee is an international airport. 377 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 2: You can fly from London to Nashville, Tennessee and then 378 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: vanish into America. So this is a huge problem. And again, 379 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 2: this is just what law enforcement in California interdicted last 380 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 2: year with the help of the National Guard. And I 381 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 2: like to point out, by the way, that this is 382 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: just what we caught. Can you imagine how much we 383 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 2: didn't catch. I remember a couple of years ago a 384 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: guy in Colorado was pulled over. Twenty five year old 385 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 2: kid was pulled over on a traffic stop by highway 386 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: patrol offices in Colorado, and in his car they found 387 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 2: I forget what the weight was, but it was again 388 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 2: it was enough fentanyl in pure, unadulterated form. This was 389 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 2: pure fentanyl, not cut with anything. It was enough fentanyl 390 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 2: to wipe out the Earth's population twice. And they flipped them, 391 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: and they wanted him to work for law enforce. It 392 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 2: was going to go to Indianapolis, which is where he 393 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 2: was supposed to do the drug drop, and they were 394 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 2: going to follow him and then get the big fish. Right, 395 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 2: they lost track of him, so he vanished, and so 396 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: did the fentanyl because he was going to deliver the 397 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: drugs and then they were going to swoop in and 398 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 2: get the big guys, but they lost them. That's a 399 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 2: separate story. The bottom line is is that how many 400 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 2: times a day is this happening? And we while we 401 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 2: rightly talk about the you know, climate change or you know, 402 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: we talk about nuclear weapons, all these things that could 403 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: be apocalyptic, Meanwhile, we've got this going on on a 404 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: daily basis that's culling the population and the loss of 405 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: young lives and lives destroyed by this stuff is just 406 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 2: you can't put There's no words.

Apparently somebody named Amber caused 429 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 2: shock by posting on TikTok that she thinks Ashley, Amber 430 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: and Amanda are going to be the new Margaret and Barbara. 431 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: Now I don't necessarily see Margaret and Barbara as old 432 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: person's names.

And every 441 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 2: time i'd hear his mother say Murray, I expected to 442 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: see a short, fat guy with a tape measure around 443 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 2: his neck and a bar of soap marking your in 444 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: seeing and your cuffs.
