1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Caf I AM six or forty. You're listening to the 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 2: All right, well, the big story this afternoon, and there's 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: going to be a news conference in at three o'clock 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 2: hour from the well liked and well respected Eli County 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 2: District Attorney George Gaskollen. John. If you saw the new poll, 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 2: he's really on top of things anyway. Oh, he's beloved. 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: I feel like the horses for the carts before the 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: horse are because we've already had an appearance in court 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: today of the man that killed the La County Sheriff's deputy. 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: He's already played guilty or not guilty by reason of 12 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 2: insanity in the fatal shooting of La County Deputy Ryan 13 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: Clinton Boomer. The news conference is supposed to be about 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: the charges, so I just feel like that should have 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: come first. I don't really anyway, Let's go to Steve 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 2: Gregory and talk more about what happened. Now. 17 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: Why is it backwards? 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it's because they wanted to 19 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 3: wait for the plea. I'm sure they wanted to see 20 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: where the plea was going to take him. I can't 21 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: say for certain but what was interesting about it? And 22 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: then I'm at holl of Justice now and I'm glad 23 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 3: I got here what I did, because I mean, it's 24 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: just already packed with trucks, and so this is going 25 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: to be a pretty big press conference. There's only the 26 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: singular charge that we know of, the single charge of murder. 27 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 3: We haven't been told about any special enhancements yet. I 28 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 3: can't get a sense yet or gauge that. Presumably we'll 29 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: get all those details at three point thirty when Gascon 30 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 3: will come out and talk about it. We're not sure 31 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: if he'll answer a lot of questions because one of 32 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 3: the big questions on everyone's mind is how did a 33 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: guy who was diagnosed, according to family, five years ago, 34 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: with paranoid schizophrenia get a gun, and not just one, 35 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 3: but multiple weapons according to the Sheriff's department. Now, he 36 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: did enter that plea earlier. It's been about two hours now, 37 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 3: a little over two hours ago. 38 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: He pleaded dual. 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: It was what they call a dual plea. He pleaded 40 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. Now, 41 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: there's an interesting distinction here because he's sort of, if 42 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: you will, it's sort of a plea insurance policy, because 43 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: they'll go through the criminal phase and they'll determine whether 44 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: or not he was guilty of the crime of murder 45 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 3: as he's been charged. If he's guilty of the crime, 46 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: then the not reason or by reason of insanity phase 47 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 3: kicks in right after that immediately. So if he had 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: just pled not guilty and it would be done and 49 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: over with in the story. But if he had pleaded 50 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: not guilty by reason of insanity singularly, then he would 51 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: have been admitting to the crime, you know what I mean. 52 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: But I thought he already confessed, didn't we hear that yesterday? 53 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: He confessed. 54 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that confession has not yet been entered into 55 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 3: the court record, you know what I mean. So those 56 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: are things that we're gonna hopefully. 57 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: Wait, let me follow us. So they're going to enter 58 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: his confession into the court record, and the judge are 59 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: going to say, well, you're guilty, and then he's going 60 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: to say, well, no, I'm not, because I'm insane. 61 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. His defense attorney, Now he had 62 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 3: an attorney with him today. It's not clear whether he 63 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: was a public defender or families paying for it. But uh, 64 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: you know that defense attorney has not had a chance 65 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: to challenge that confession yet. So those are the things 66 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 3: that will come out in the preliminary hearing, which is 67 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: scheduled in November. 68 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: Do we know if he had a previous criminal record. 69 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: That's nothing that we can tell. Yet no one is 70 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 3: saying anything. This is one of those cases again, like 71 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: I told you three years ago, and here's the irony 72 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: or the coincidence, if you will. Just yesterday there were 73 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: closing arguments in the case or the trial of Deonta 74 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 3: was charged with shooting the two deputies in Compton train 75 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: station three years ago this month, and so his closing 76 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: arguments were yesterday, and when that had happened, we could 77 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: not get any information ahead of time. And they don't 78 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: want to do anything that could jeopardize or prejudice, you know, 79 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: do some sort of prejudicial tainting of the jury pool, 80 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: if you will. They don't want to get anything out 81 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: there prematurely that'll screw up the case. 82 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: So the public doesn't have a right to know about 83 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: this guy's criminal history. 84 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: They do, they just don't have a right to know 85 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: it right now. Apparently that's kind of their view, well, Steve. 86 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: Multiple media outlets are reporting he has no criminal record, 87 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: telling you that well including kalso Gundo times no criminal. 88 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: Record, that's very possible, but doesn't mean he doesn't have 89 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 3: any encounters of law enforcement. 90 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: Well, the police recalled over his mother's mental health problems, right, 91 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: mental health funds, because that's what they're trying to examine 92 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: here to figure out how he got the gun. 93 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: But they're saying as far as a criminal record to 94 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 2: purchase the gun, that wasn't there to stop them. Now, 95 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: the mental healthhold issue is what everyone's focusing on, and 96 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: how did this guy slip through the cracks and get 97 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: his hands on guns and guns? 98 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: And is the family complicit if they knew all along 99 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 3: he had weaponry. That's that's another part of this too. 100 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: But can they be held culpable here? 101 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: That's a question that I'm hoping we'll be able to 102 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: bring up. But you know, we get very limited time 103 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 3: with the district attorney because he's not a big fan 104 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: of questions, so we're going to have very limited time 105 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: with him. I'm serious, I'm absolutely serious. I'm not I know. 106 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: No, he's a jerk when it comes to dealing with 107 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: the public and the press. Absolutely, he's got he's got 108 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: a huge and he's not going to be questioned about anything. 109 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: You just one. 110 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, so when we try to push him on stuff 111 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: that his PR person just says, last question, and then 112 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: he answered, they asher him away. 113 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: Last question. We're paying that guy's salary. Last question. Get 114 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: at it here. I don't know how you put up 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: with this. Steve. 116 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm afraid to do anything now. After 117 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: the governor Hawaii got mad at me, I'm afraid to 118 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 3: ask anything now. I mean, you know it's that they 119 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: what is it? There's one agency in Talents is every 120 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: time I show up, they they all go over in 121 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 3: the huddle in the corner and figure out who's going 122 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: to take the question. So I don't know, But well, 123 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 3: here's the thing though, you know Phil Schumann's here from 124 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: Fox eleven. I know Phil's gonna he's on. You know, 125 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: feel's great at this stuff too, and and so I 126 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 3: know Phil's here. We can tag team this thing. We're 127 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 3: going to ask a lot of questions and and you know, 128 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 3: whether we get the answers or not is a different 129 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: issue altogether. 130 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: All right, Steve, Well, we'll maybe talk to you later. 131 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: You got it, guys, Because Steve. 132 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: Is going to cover this three o'clock news conference by 133 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: La County District Attorney George Gascone, where he's going to 134 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: talk about the case from his prosecutor's office against the 135 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: man who we understand confessed to killing La County Shore's 136 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: Deputy Ryan clinkin Breuer. But you know that was probably 137 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 2: before he got himself an attorney who will, of course 138 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: say why did you do that? We're pleading not guilty 139 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: to everything. Now the Elsa Gunda Times is reporting that 140 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 2: it is one count of murder with special circumstances of 141 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: lying in wait, firing from a car, and the personal 142 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: use of a firearm, a twenty two caliber revolver used 143 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: in the shooting. So of course the story goes on 144 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: to say this probably will not lead to a death 145 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 2: pedally pursuit because that's not what and assassinated cops. That doesn't, 146 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: said Gascone that much, But he is holding a news 147 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: conferen because he knows he bet to do that rather 148 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: than just you know, oh, it's just another shooting in 149 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: La What do you want me to do? 150 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: We're an election season now, it kind of slips up 151 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: on people, but in less than six months there's going 152 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: to be a primary, and there's nine challengers to take 153 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: on George Gascon and so everything he does now is 154 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: you have to look through the lens of he's up 155 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: for reelection and he's got to finish in the top 156 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: two in March or he doesn't get to run in 157 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: the general election in November, only the top two candidates, 158 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: assuming that nobody clears fifty percent. 159 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: And I don't think anyone's going to do that. There's 160 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: ten people running now. Well, when we come back, we'll 161 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: talk about that. West Side Current ran a story about 162 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: Gascone's reelection bid and there's a couple of nuggets in 163 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: there worth talking about. And as John mentioned, there's plenty 164 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 2: of challengers to replace this buffoon, beginning with the primary 165 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: next March. But that doesn't happen, I'll have to be 166 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: the election next November. 167 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: And I got to talk about going to this candidate's 168 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: forum last night Manhattan Beach.

I know, I like 183 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: Urmit the Frog and who has a kind of a weird, 184 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: high strange voice with his Cuban accent. He'll come out 185 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 2: and he's really dull, but you know, he'll lay out 186 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: and detail the case that they have put together against 187 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 2: the man that's accused and apparently is confessed to shooting 188 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 2: the La County Sheriff's deputy in Palmdale the other day. Now, 189 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: the other thing that's going on, and John attended a 190 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: forum last night of people that would like to replace 191 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: George Gascoon as La County DA west Side currents reporting 192 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: that he has hired himself a political consulting firm called 193 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: Maker's strategies, and they have represented such luminaries as Mike Bonnan, 194 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: the man that tried to replace him. 195 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Darling. 196 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: Fortunately Tracy Park won that election. Also in the on 197 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: the list unices hernandez U, Go Sodo Martinez, and Nythia Rahman. 198 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: The Democrat socialists, Yeah, actually communists. That's the modern term 199 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: for communists here in Los Angeles. Democratic socialists. And they're 200 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: all destructive, terrible, terrible politicians, terrible people for what they 201 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: are doing and planned to do further to Los Angeles. 202 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: They're why we have so much homelessness, they are why 203 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: we have so much crime, and they are why the 204 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: city Council is just completely unresponsive to what everyone is 205 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: begging for, which is relief from the homelessness and the crime. 206 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: And it's their fault that list. So this particular PR 207 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: group is in debt with a bunch of filthy, awful 208 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: public servants. 209 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: So we're, you know, barely six months away from the primary. 210 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: There was a poll that came out in April from 211 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs. Gascon had the lowest 212 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: approval rating among elected county officials twenty seven percent, healing 213 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 2: him favorably forty percent unfavorably. And it makes sense when 214 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: you consider what's been going on. Even people don't follow 215 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: what he does closely with his whatever they were called 216 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: that he put out those reforms. Yeah, anyway, they can 217 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: see what's going on with the smashing grabs, all the 218 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: coverage of all the crime and the homelessness. Now he's 219 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 2: not responsible and this issari for the homelessness, but it 220 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: comes to the crime like it or not. You know, 221 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 2: you're at the top of the food chain there and responsibility. 222 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: So that's probably a good reason why people do not 223 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: approve of him being the DA. 224 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: Two hundred prosecutors have quit Gascone's office two hundred. There 225 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: are ten thousand cases backlogged, ten thousand. He simply refuses 226 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: to prosecute crimes. There is no excuse. That's never happened. 227 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: I've never heard of that happening in any city in 228 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: the history of the universe. Ta a thousand. It means 229 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: you don't believe in prosecuting criminals. 230 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: I take it. Then with no bail policies, you get 231 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: charged with a crime and it's backlogged in his office 232 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: for years, then you're just free to go about, you know, 233 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: doing what you're doing. 234 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: And then eventually the chargers don't get arrested again. Right, 235 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: The charges in many cases end up getting dismissed. And 236 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: that's why I've got no patience for the way the 237 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: news is being reported. Well, he was arrested. It rounded 238 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: it up, you know, he was, he was charged. It's like, 239 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: stop it. There's not even bail anymore like October first. 240 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: You know, most ordinary thefts no bail. Oh, so they're good. 241 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: People are going to go out and steal again and 242 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: again and again and you'll see you just wait, like 243 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: in two months, the stories we're going to tell you 244 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: about some guy who's caught eleven times in a day 245 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: for stealing and each time he was let go without bail. 246 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: That really happens in New York City. It'll happen here. 247 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: The word I was looking for is directives. The directives, yes, right, 248 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: list of directives since he took office. 249 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: We remember quite well. December twenty twenty is when he 250 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: took over. So you said last night there was a 251 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: pretty good showing of people to listen to his opponents. 252 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Manhattan Beach, there is a former prosecutor named Joseph Marcus. 253 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: He was worked as a LA County prosecutor for thirty 254 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: three years. He's in private practice now and I talked 255 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: with him and he said he set up this this 256 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: a meet the candidates night because a lot of people 257 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: generally don't pay attention to the race. And even when 258 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: they do, you know, there's nine candidates, they don't know 259 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: how to tell them apart. I mean, we know some 260 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: of them because we've had them on the air and 261 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of high profile cases in controversy 262 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: the last few years, but most of the public doesn't. 263 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: So this was he thought. Eighty he got, he got, 264 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: He rented a space for like eighty people turned out, 265 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds responded to an RSVP. There was nowhere 266 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: to put anybody. And when we showed up last night, Yeah, 267 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: the place was packed, jammed. This is the tightest crowd 268 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: I've been in in over three years since the COVID lockdown. 269 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: And and people were really quiet and very respectful when 270 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: the candidates spoke, but they were very animated when you 271 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: talk to them. Outside of that, everybody is on the 272 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: same page in that room just went this hack out. Yeah, 273 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: And Manhattan Beach is a fairly laid back genteel area, 274 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: and yeah, they were wound up and I got I 275 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: met John Tommy. It was kind of it was interesting 276 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: for me because you know, we've had these guys on 277 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: the show so many times and yet most cases never 278 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: met them. So I met John Hotomomy, John McKinney, Nate 279 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: Hoffman was there, and they're impressive guys and they were 280 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: all very cordial to each other. They said, look, any 281 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: of us will be a huge improvement over Gascar. It 282 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: has to be that way. But they all made a 283 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: pitch why their resume, their unique experience, their value system 284 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: would work the best right now. So there's some really 285 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: good choices there and we'll continue to have them on 286 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: between now now in March because the primary is very important. 287 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: What would be great as if two of these challengers 288 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: get the top two spots. 289 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: And Got's going to shut out. 290 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: There's also another wild card and this guy just got 291 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: in the race, Jeffrey cher Minsky. Now I didn't see 292 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: him last night. I didn't attend the entire event. First 293 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: of all, it took like an hour and a half 294 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: to get from the West Side to the Manhattan Beach, 295 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: but you know how that goes. But you know I 296 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: saw a number of the candidates. Jeffrey Sharreminsky is the 297 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: son of Erwin Sharreminsky, the famed left wing progressive looney tone. 298 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, mister constitutional scholar who's just way out there 299 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 2: with his opinions. 300 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: Oh my god, he was an a cl you guy. 301 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: He's now the dean of the Berkeley of the UC Berkeley, yeah, 302 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: School of law up there. So and and what I'm 303 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: what I was told by people last night is watch 304 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Scherminsky because if Gascone really is clear as going 305 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: to go splat, the powers that be in the county 306 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: are going to push Shara Minsky as their candidate rather 307 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: than Gascon. Shara Minsky might edge out Gascone for the 308 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: endorsements from that wing of the party. And Shara Minsky's 309 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: danger is he's very gentle sounding like he is like 310 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: an attractive candidate. He's not frightening and what to do 311 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: right now? But his you know, I had his bio 312 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: up the other day. I'll go look for you. No, 313 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: he he was a prosecutor. He was he was a prosecutor. Yeah, 314 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: but he's got very left wing views on how to 315 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: change the system. I mean gas gun came from law enforcement. Two. 316 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: All right, these guys, I don't know. They work in 317 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: law Enforcetman and they work as a prosecutor, and then 318 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: I know they get hit in the head and they 319 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: wake up and they're they're they're insane. So we got 320 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: to watch scher Minsky to see if he gains any ground, 321 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: because apparently from what I'm told, you know, he's got 322 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: some charisma and he's likable and all that, and those 323 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: guys are the most dangerous. Gascon is clearly wildly unlikable, 324 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: and I don't think he's gonna come back from this mess. 325 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: I think he's snuck in because nobody was paying attention 326 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of the George Floyd twenty twenty Hysteria. 327 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 4: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 328 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 329 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: On the radio one four. After four o'clock John and 330 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: Kent on demand the podcast. 331 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sort of like Mental Illness Week. We'll be 332 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: talking to the Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer after 333 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: two o'clock. It is possible that a man that killed 334 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: a woman back in nineteen ninety four and is in 335 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 2: one of those situations where they put him in the 336 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: mental hospitals he may get released. His name is Leonard 337 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 2: Patten and he came to California from Minnesota in nineteen 338 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: ninety four and he got into some sort of fender 339 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: bender with a woman that he just turned around and killed, 340 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: almost immediately killed her. It's a horrible, horrible story. We'll 341 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: go through it. Coming up after to a clock with 342 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 2: Todd Spitzer, and he, of course does not think it 343 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 2: is safe to release this man from any facility, let 344 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: alone a mental hospital. So we'll get you all the 345 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: news on that. And then speaking of really really bad 346 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 2: story you may have heard about this, two teenagers have 347 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 2: been arrested and faced murder charges in Las Vegas. They 348 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: apparently went on quite a joy ride the morning of 349 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: August fourteenth. I think one is seventeen. I'm not sure 350 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: the age of the other one. They started to run 351 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: people down with the car that they had, and there 352 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 2: was at least three hit and run incidents on that morning, 353 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: and one of them resulted in the death of a 354 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 2: sixty four year old man by the name of Andreas 355 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: rene Propst, who was the police chief in bell bell 356 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: As in bell La County after he retired I think 357 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine he moved to Las Vegas. 358 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: There's graphic video that shows these two in the front 359 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: seat of their car approaching him from behind while he 360 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 2: was riding near the curb on a traffic free road 361 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: pretty much, and they started laughing and making comments basically 362 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 2: that look at this will be a nice target to 363 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 2: run over. And he was out there on his bicycle 364 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 2: wearing a red shirt and dark shorts, struck from behind 365 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: and thrown against the windshield. 366 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: Had they done this before that day? 367 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 2: They did. Apparently they hit another guy who was not 368 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 2: badly hurt. Well, I don't know if they've done this 369 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: before that day, but that day, well, they decided to 370 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: really go nuts and run people over. 371 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: What was this some kind of game they played every 372 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: once in a while, or is this some drug they 373 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: were on or are there more psychotics now running around? 374 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: And I've never actually never heard of this. People said, hey, 375 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: you know, let's just run them over for the hell 376 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: of it. I just can't remember a story like that now. 377 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: What happened is the seventeen year old driver was arrested 378 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 2: the day of the crashes. However, they did not become 379 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 2: aware until weeks later. That there was a video these 380 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 2: two made. A school resource officer of the school cop 381 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: eventually provided it to investigators, and that has led to 382 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 2: the murder charge because showing off what they did, they 383 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: must have been showing off at school what they did 384 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: with other kids. Yes, and they got to the attention 385 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: of the school cop who eventually was able to get 386 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: a hold of the. 387 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: Video send to him. Wow, so there was one decent 388 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: person who ratted the kids out. Yes, So they eventually 389 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: are rented just today. In fact, I think they event 390 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: to her yesterday. The second teenager was arrested, but the 391 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: driver of the seventeen year old is clearly in the 392 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: most trouble. The crime stream began just before dawn when 393 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: they struck a seventy two year old bicyclist and drove 394 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: off and crashed into a Toyota Corolla. The driver wasn't 395 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: injured in the crash, and police said they're not sure 396 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: of how severely injured the bicyclist was. But eventually they 397 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: came upon the former police and just. 398 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 2: Ran him down. 399 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: Where does this come from? I'm sure they took off laughing. 400 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 1: I'm sure these kids don't have fathers. I mean, I'll 401 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: bet a thousand dollars. They don't have fathers. 402 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: It's almost because they're underage. Although the Clark County DA 403 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 2: says he can charged him as an adult and that's 404 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 2: what he plans to do. 405 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they don't do guess going nonsense in other 406 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: cities and counties. Oh my god, that's really awful. They 407 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: should be They should be locked up forever because that 408 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: is such a psycho act. I know it said you 409 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: can't fix that brain that they do it, and they 410 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: laugh about it, and then they show video of it. 411 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 2: Whoa, yeah, they shared it with other kids at school. 412 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: Of that's evil. They should be executed. 413 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: They left this poor guy to die. They just drove off, 414 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 2: but I guess they decided if they hit him, they 415 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: weren't going to do any more of this. But by 416 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 2: then later in the day, the police caught up with them, 417 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 2: but they did not know about this video. So, I mean, 418 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: originally the murder case wasn't there because they thought, well, 419 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: it could have been a terrible accident. But now you 420 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: see the video and they're laughing. They're like, let's get 421 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: this guy. Well, now we got a good case. 422 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: Increasingly, you see that from the generation that has recorded 423 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: everything they do. They even record their murders and they 424 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: show it off to people's that's how sick and warpd. 425 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: And that scares me is who would enjoy seeing that? 426 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: At school? 427 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 2: I realized they're just immature sixteen year old boys. But honestly, oh, 428 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: you see that video, You've got to be haunted by it. 429 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 2: You can't be going, oh. 430 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty cool. Guys. 431 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 2: Look you did there. It's like a video game. Oh 432 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: it's not your sixteen it's it's that you're you're psychotic. No, 433 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: I mean clearly somebody didn't like it because they turned 434 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: them in. 435 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: Yeah.

The story that was big news about a 455 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 2: year ago. The recordings of Kevin de Leone and Gil 456 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 2: Sedillo and Nori Martinez talking about Mike Bonnen and other 457 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: political people in Los Angeles at a labor office. 458 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: Of course, racially charged comments. 459 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: Yes, racially charged comments about Bonnon's adopted black son, of course, 460 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 2: and also about what would it be called more native. 461 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 2: The Hockins think Hawkins was the was the category of 462 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 2: people that they were talking about. And basically what he 463 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 2: did was he just decided, I'll ignore it, and then 464 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 2: he tried to come back to city council. And eventually 465 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: he did return to city council. But there were protests 466 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 2: for weeks and weeks when I wondered when that was 467 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: finally going to end and I guess it did, and 468 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: then he just kind of I guess it was in 469 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 2: December he got into that little brawl with that guy. 470 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: I remember that story, right. 471 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: You know what, de Leon is a bozo and he 472 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: was involved in passing some really bad laws when he 473 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: was in the legislature. He's a complete fool of bozo. 474 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: But I'm glad he's running because only his constituents get 475 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: to decide whether he stays in office or not, not 476 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: not a bunch of idiot activists or whiney La Times writers. 477 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 2: It's not your call. It's Joe Biden said he should resent. 478 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: It's not Joe Biden's call. Joe Biden has no jurisdiction. 479 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: Neither does the La Times Wieners, and neither does these 480 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: these crackpot activists. It's it's the public that gets to choose. 481 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: And I, you know what, he did the right thing, 482 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: which is what everyone should do when you when you 483 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: get targeted because who you said something? Right, Oh, you're 484 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: caught on tape saying so it's like, just tough it out, 485 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: tell him to suck eggs. 486 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 2: His position was that he did not say the really 487 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 2: offensive things. Nurie Martinez clearly led the way in most 488 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: of the conversation. You know, though he made a joke 489 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 2: that Mike Bonnen's black son was like a fashion accompaniment, 490 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 2: like some sort of fashion. Yeah. 491 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, they were not the warm, friendly comments. But everybody 492 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: makes obnoxious comments in private, everybody. I don't know a 493 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: single person who doesn't do that. These are private comments. 494 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: Some jackass inside that union made a recording. That's illegal. 495 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: That's the illegal part. De Leone did something distasteful, maybe 496 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: when it's publicized, but it you know, when you when 497 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: you have friends sitting around and relaxed, people will say 498 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: all kinds of rude things just to get a laugh. 499 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: And I can't stand the hypocrisy of that. I don't 500 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: know anybody who doesn't say rude things to get a 501 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: laugh when they're with their friends privately. And so this 502 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: is a whole load of nonsense and to be driven 503 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: out by the whole You tell me the El Segundo times, 504 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: all those wieners don't make off color comments in the newsroom, 505 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: of course they do. 506 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: Now he faces quite a few opponents, at least three, 507 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: two of which are in the state legislature. Another one, 508 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: I think is some sort of labor activist. So he 509 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 2: is going to stand against a number of people in 510 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: the primary and that will determine the top two for 511 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: the race in November if he survives that, because he 512 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: is the incumbent, that's clearly on his side here. Yeah, 513 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 2: a huge name record. Look, he's a bozo. He shouldn't 514 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: be anywhere near government. But if he gets kicked out, 515 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: it shouldn't be because what he said privately at a meeting. 516 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 2: The last time he ran for city council in twenty twenty, 517 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: he won outright in the primary with fifty two percent 518 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 2: of the vote. I don't know that he had that 519 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 2: many challengers as he has this time. It's Democratic Assembly 520 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: members Miguel Santiago and Wendy carill a prime challenger. 521 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: The local people don't don't like him. They've got the 522 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: right to vote Aim out of office. They don't like 523 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: his personality or what he said. That's their right. They 524 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: don't get pushed around by outsiders. Well, we don't like 525 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: his speech. We think it's hate speech. Not your call, buddy. 526 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: You know you police the speech in your house. 527 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 2: Now. By the way, we like him the most because 528 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: he didn't know the pledge of allegiance that's one of 529 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: our favorite pieces of audio. Yeah, we constantly play on 530 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 2: the John and Kill Show. They called upon him to 531 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: recite the pledge of allegiance. Then he got lost after 532 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 2: one or two lines. Yeah, no, I don't what to do. 533 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 2: He's dumb as a rock and went at the end like, wow, 534 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 2: did I screw that up? 535 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? And then there was there was another case where 536 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: he was on zoom in the city council meetings and 537 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: he's talking with a mouthful of cereal. Oh really, yeah 538 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: he was. He was doing the zoom from his breakfast 539 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: table and he was like spitting out a cereal. And 540 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: we remember him years ago where he was part of 541 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: some really stupid, damaging global warning bill and he came 542 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: to LA and stood in the hot sun giving his speech. 543 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: I remember Eric Leonard was covering it, and Eric hung 544 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: back and watched his big suv, right the taxpayer paid suv. 545 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: He had that big car and a driver, and the 546 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: driver kept the suv and the air conditioning running for 547 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: three hours, spewing global warming gases into the atmosphere for 548 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: three hours while he was standing at the podium taking 549 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: credit for whatever Kakamami bill he had just passed. And 550 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: let's not forget what that conversation was that those boobs 551 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: were having that was recorded. It was about trying to 552 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: get more Latino representation in the LA City Council. Was 553 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: where it broke off into the racist re marks. And 554 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: I saw this in the story. I mean, Latino's of 555 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: forty eight percent of the LA population, Black residents only 556 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: eight percent. But there's only five Latino members on the 557 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: fifteen member council and three black members. So that's kind 558 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 1: of what they were bickering, not bickering or discussing how 559 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: we can do better disproportionate representation. 560 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 2: Right, And that was something else delely Owned touched on, 561 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: and it's not mentioned in these current articles. 562 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: God forbid, people vote for intelligent council people. Everything is 563 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: about skin color, everything's about ethnicity. Meanwhile, they've driven Los Angeles, 564 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: all of them, the whole council has driven Los Angeles 565 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: into the shore. And they sit and they argue about 566 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: the color of skin and the ethnicity. It's like, no, 567 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: that's not the point. It's all the vagrance and mental 568 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: patients and criminals running around. 569 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, they just care about their power, all right, 570 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: coming up next to the orange County District Attorney Todd 571 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 2: Spitzer will be on the show to talk about this 572 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: case where judge in Orange County will determine whether or 573 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,479 Speaker 2: not the mentally ill killer is going to get released 574 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 2: to an outpatient facility, and we will tell you the 575 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 2: story of what this man did back in nineteen ninety 576 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: four to a woman he encountered.
