1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty. Do you identify with one particular party

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 3: or the other and if you do, how do you

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: reach kind of everybody?

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, thankfully it's a non partisan race. But if there

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 4: was a letter next to my name, it would be

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 4: an R. But that R would stand for results. I'm

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: coming in here with no tribal politics. I'm coming here

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 4: to represent all Angelinos at.

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: Spencer Pratt, reality star and fed up Angelino running for

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: the mayor of the great City of Los Angeles and

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: getting a hell of a lot of attention for several

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 3: different reasons. Mark Alpern predicts he's going to be the

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: Pratt will be the next mayor of la Oh is

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: that right? Yeah?

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, his house burnt down, mister Pratt, that's part of

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: his appeal. Look, my house burnt down and they ain't

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 5: doing nothing.

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's impossible to rebuild in spite of Gavin Newsom

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: and Karen Bass's utterly horrifically dishonest and unfulfilled promises. Yeah,

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: and you know.

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 5: I don't want to get sidetracked. But do you know

25
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 5: why did they cancel the debate tomorrow night? No idea,

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 5: some weirdness. I have to look into that, no idea.

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, he has been doing great in the debates.

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: He's a colorful character. His manner of speaking is entertaining.

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 5: But an entertaining reality star, you say in politics, you say.

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 3: But his sincerity is nobody can doubt it. I don't

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: think about concern for his city. And we're coming up

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: perhaps the boomerangiust backlashiest ad in the history of politics

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: run against him. But we'll just start with Ady Michael.

34
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: Here he is doing podcast talking about, you know, problems

35
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: you wants to fix.

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: So when I'm mayor, my plan is, first three weeks,

37
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 4: signs up across the city. No more nakedness, no more

38
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: drug use, no more robbing, no worse it, no more

39
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: burning dogs in history, no more dog abuse, very on

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 4: every sign on everywhere.

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 3: So that and we're gonna go around.

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: We're gonna warn everybody. Hey, get three more weeks of

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: this clock's ticking. Just keep telling everyone, just so the

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 4: people that are aware, they're like, oh wow.

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: There's a new mayor in town.

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: They may start leaving, and then when the three weeks

47
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 4: or maybe we'll even do two weeks, maybe people will

48
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: want it faster, and then once we start enforcing the laws,

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: boom streets.

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: We'll be back. That's the flip side of the clip

51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: we played for you last week of a drug addict

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 3: in Seattle. He was testifying in front of I think

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: it was the city council, but he was saying, the

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: reason there are so many drug addicts here, and I

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: was one for years is because you make it so

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: easy and comfortable to be a drug addict and nobody

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: gets arrested for breaking the law. If you're a drug addict,

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: you can just laugh at the law. Stop doing that, Seattle.

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: That's what Spencer Pratt is saying about Los Angeles.

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: I wish we could get Spencer Pratt and Armstrong and

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 5: Getty T shirt that says enforce the law, since that's

62
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 5: what he's running on right.

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it works. You know the LA's Well, this

64
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: is kin gonna make a joke about San Francisco. Hilly,

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: your cousin to the north. San Francisco elected Mayor Lourie, and.

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 5: I assume all they did to make you know you

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 5: go to Union Square and walk around.

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: Now you don't see a homeless person. They just enforced

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: the law.

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: They said you can't be here right Where am I

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 5: supposed to go somewhere else?

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: Which is what I've been advocating for here. Yeah, the tenderloin,

73
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: which is its own problem. But I think it is

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: absolutely defensible that a city prioritize, you know, its sections

75
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: as kind of all ye, a midway measure. You got

76
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: to start somewhere. Absolutely, yeah, all right.

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: Next cliff people forget is they can't lower the costs

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: of goods. The only thing you can do to make

79
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 4: things more affordable as mayor, which I will be able

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: to do, is put more money in people's pockets. We

81
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: need to put more revenue in the city.

82
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: We're over here.

83
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 4: They're always asking me, how are you going to balance

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: this budget? Spencer, There's gonna be no money to do us.

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: We should be the number one city in the world.

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: We should have money shooting out of ATMs. We're Los Angeles.

87
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: There will be plenty of money when we let the

88
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: systems work, when we let business work.

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: How can you let business work.

90
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 4: If you have drug addicts going number two and number

91
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: one in front of every cafe. We lost over one

92
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: hundred restaurants in la not because they weren't good food,

93
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 4: because you have drug addicts scaring people to go out.

94
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: He's running against Karen Bass, utterly cynical, political hack, slave

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: of the unions, you know, et cetera, and a Democratic

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: socialist by the name of Nithia Raman Ramen.

97
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 5: So there were there was supposed to be yet an

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 5: other mayoral debate tomorrow night, and I just kept reading

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 5: how it collapsed because everybody was unavailable.

100
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: But that seems to be the case.

101
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 5: I don't know how you're not available, like you schedule

102
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 5: something else the night of a debate, but current Mayor

103
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 5: Bass is not available, including Pratt, who said he's got

104
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 5: a scheduling conflict, so they just canceled the debate. I

105
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 5: thought when I originally heard it that, well, of course

106
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: Mayor Bass doesn't want a debate to happen because Pratt's

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: doing really well all the time, and it just lets people, hey,

108
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: that guy wants to enforce the law and get the

109
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 5: drug addicts off the street, and she doesn't want anybody

110
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 5: here in right. But anyway, the debate fell apart.

111
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: Let's skip to eighty four, Michael.

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: My first one hundred days is going to be enforcing

113
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 4: the law and making moms feel safe with their kids

114
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: at parks in front of their schools. You cannot give

115
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 4: zombies these Yes, they were human beings, but once you

116
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: go on fentanyl or super meth, you're no longer a

117
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: human being. It's not about we need more beds, not

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 4: inside safe, not more fable house even No, we need

119
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: medical mandatory treatment.

120
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: That is so clearly true. We've been saying this, by

121
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: the way, for many, many years.

122
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 5: But I don't know what the answer is for somebody

123
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: whose brain is fried and they're standing on the corner

124
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: stealing from you and threatening you.

125
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what the answer is. But letting them

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: hang out there is not the answer, right right. Enforced

127
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: the law, Yeah, yeah, Unless you're part of the cult

128
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: of suicidal empathy, all these things are utterly clear to you.

129
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: And it's suicidal empathy partly because it gets you hurt

130
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: and killed and deteriorates your city. But it's also homicidal empathy.

131
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: And a number of folks on the center left have

132
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: woken up to this and are speaking out about it.

133
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: Easing a young person into death on the pavement is

134
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 3: not compassion, making it easy to be drug addict until well,

135
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: finally they overdose on fentanyl and nobody's around with the narcan,

136
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 3: or if you overdose on other stuff, nark can't bring

137
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: you around. That's not compassion. And what twisted sick conscience?

138
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: Is that seen as compassion? Then I promised you the

139
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: BOOMERANGI anti ad This is just part of it. It was.

140
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: It's entirely financed by the public employee unions who own

141
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: the City of Los Angeles government, along with a couple

142
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: of progressive organizations that get paid by them. In the

143
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: state government of California.

144
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs

145
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: for mayor, and Pratt opposes using taxpayer money to build

146
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: brand new houses for unhoused neighbors. Pratt thinks LA needs

147
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: thousands more police officers rather than more social workers. And

148
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: Republicans Spencer Pratt thinks public employee unions should have less power.

149
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 3: Ah, he does. Well, when's voting day? How soon? Can

150
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: I vote early? Can I vote twice? Probably? That's supposed

151
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: to be a knock. That's an attack. Ad Wow had

152
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: the scary music. That's how you can tell wow, I

153
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: had the scary violins, the violins of nestiness. Wow. I'm

154
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: heartened to hear Halpern say he's got a real shot,

155
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 3: because I'd heard that in the polls it wasn't nearly

156
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: as impressive as the buzz. But local polling is notoriously unreliable, right, yeah, yeah.

157
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

158
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, because we all know how awful lot of national

159
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 5: polls have been in the sample size and the methodology

160
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: and the money spent to try to come up with

161
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: good numbers, way beyond anything you get in one.

162
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: City, right, right, It will be interesting to see what

163
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: sort of skullduggery takes place electorally, vote harvesting, harvesting stories

164
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: and papering apartment complexes with ballots and then not really

165
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: checking signatures. That sort of thing. Well, enforce the law.

166
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 5: I have another comment on that, but I'll tell you

167
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 5: about that after tell you about simply Safe, which you

168
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 5: might need to have because you live in a town

169
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: where they let drug addicts walk around on the streets still,

170
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 5: and they might break into your house and steal your stuff.

171
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: It's going to be a lot harder for him to

172
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: do it if you got all the cameras and sensors

173
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: and all the different stuff that comes with simply Safe.

174
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: And the extremely effective twenty four to seven professional monitoring

175
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: that is unbelievably affordable. Seriously, Judy and I had the

176
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: old style security system. I don't even want to tell

177
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: you what it costs to get installed and then monthly

178
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: and everything. Simply Safe is so much better and it's

179
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: so much less expensive. It's all about those twenty four

180
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: to seven professional monitoring agents who dispatch emergency help when

181
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: you need it.

182
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went online.

183
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: I customized it for the place I lived, so then

184
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: it shows up in the mail fast and I hooked

185
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 5: it up myself.

186
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: That's the way it worked for me. That's why it's

187
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: called simply Safe. And you can get fifty percent off

188
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: new system when you sign up for professional monitoring in

189
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 3: your first month. This for a very affordable Visit simply

190
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: safe dot com slash armstrong. That's half off at simply

191
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: safe dot com slash armstrong. There's no safe like simply Safe. Yeah.

192
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: I was going to talk about that more, but I

193
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: want to talk about it anymore. Right, There'll be more

194
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: times to talk about that in the future.

195
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: Talking a little bit earlier, how driving the most you know,

196
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: environmentally safe car available in America. Really, the Tesla now

197
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 3: codes conservative rights of elon.

198
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 5: I know that because I get flipped off on a

199
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 5: daily basis practically driving my cyber truck around. I didn't

200
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 5: know the thing you said, though, that cheating in school

201
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: with AI is trying to crack down on them is

202
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: considered right wing.

203
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: Yes, reading something Nelly Bowles wrote about. With the arrival

204
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: of chatbots, they're having to confront what the heck college

205
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: is and what it's good for because everybody's cheating their

206
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: way through. There was an article in The New Yorker

207
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 3: on will AI make college obsolete? And in New York

208
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: Magazine one called everyone is cheating their way through college?

209
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: So anyway? She writes, No, there's an easy solution all

210
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: the chat GPT or chat GP cheating. That's kind of clever,

211
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: which is to make kids take tests in person, pen

212
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: to paper, ass in seat. But colleges are now run

213
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 3: by people who think that's crazy, unfair and wrong. What

214
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: about the kids with no hands? And every student has

215
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: a letter from a doctor saying they have a condition

216
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: that bars them from timed exams. Yeah, and it's amazing

217
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 3: the more elite quote unquote the university, the more the

218
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: kids get exemptions from taking exams in time.

219
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: And you see, you're going to go out and get

220
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 5: a job where they're going to say I need this

221
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 5: report by Friday to make a sales presentation. And you

222
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: can't say, yeah, I can't do timed things like this

223
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 5: because of my anxiety.

224
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 3: A young law student who I'm well acquainted with was

225
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: talking about how some of the people who are whooping

226
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: in the class rankings get lots of extra time. Wow.

227
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: And my friend, who is in law school, is a

228
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: very compassionate person. But when I said, you know, when

229
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: a client says I need this by this afternoon, there's

230
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: no such thing as I'm going to need extra time.

231
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: I have a note for my doctor. Oh my god.

232
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: We are so serv We're serving our children so badly

233
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: by coddling like this. Anyway, let's see reading on anyway.

234
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: Two great essays this week which I mentioned. Here's the

235
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: crazy part, the one the New Yorker will aim at

236
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 3: college obsolate for the crime of writing that New Yorker piece.

237
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: Jay Kang has been the villain of Blue Sky all week,

238
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 3: the notorious lefty social media site. He wrote this very

239
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: funny take on X Blue Sky really is the weirdest

240
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: social media site ever created. It's like the most toxic

241
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: liberals built themselves of prison and then locked themselves up

242
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 3: in it and now have den ryots a day. Why

243
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: would you do that? La? And then she writes fascinating

244
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: how the next tech wave is shaking out politically, electric

245
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 3: self driving cars that will make less air pollution and

246
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: are safer are being coded as right wing, and using

247
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: artificial intelligence in school, which undermines the entire existing knowledge

248
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: economy and might turn our brains into banana puree, is

249
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: being coded as left wing. Very curious outcome. The anti knowledge,

250
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: anti testing movement has gone so far that it is

251
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 3: now comfortable letting kids just not think at all. Full

252
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: brain death is the most equitable result. Blah blah blah.

253
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 3: Education solved, playing field leveled. Moving on, that'll be an

254
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: interesting one to follow. I didn't realize that was going

255
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: in that direction.

256
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's some pushback happening in the legal world around

257
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 5: that Michael Jackson movie that my son liked so much,

258
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 5: among other things we'll talk about coming up.

259
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 2: Stay here.

260
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 6: Go On Friday, after three days of reinsurance, I give

261
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 6: you nightline.

262
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 7: A dream vacation turning into a floating nightmare. Authority is

263
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,239
Speaker 7: now working to stop the spread and track down passengers

264
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 7: who've already left the ship, including to the US. The

265
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 7: little in question, could this become the next pandemic?

266
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: They got me again?

267
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 6: And by the way, did you check out the percussion

268
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 6: on that.

269
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: Digga? Could this be the next pandemic?

270
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 6: The question of whether it was going to be the

271
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 6: next pandemic had been asked and answered for three days.

272
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's a week ago. And they continue to

273
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 5: do it. The last night it's out on the news.

274
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 5: They is this the next pandemic?

275
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: Again? And then they go to an expert says not

276
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: even close, not a chance. All the experts say exactly

277
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: the same thing. So what are we doing here?

278
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: What are they responding to? I don't know what's motivating

279
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: that I do not? No. I mean because viewership of

280
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: one evening news or the other is fairly loyal. So

281
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: aren't there listener their viewers saying y'all told us this

282
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: last night and the night before last week? Right?

283
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: Any who?

284
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: I'm glad John Stewart picked up on that. Coming up,

285
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: what's a booty rumble? Booty rumble is something Michael Jackson

286
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 5: would do.

287
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: With little boys.

288
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: Oh what now?

289
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 5: According to sixty Minutes Australia and a new piece that

290
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 5: they've got out, I have a feeling this is kind

291
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 5: of pushback against that movie that left out all the

292
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: child sex stuff. Let's not forget who he is anykay.

293
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 5: There are some details here I've never heard before. Oh boy,

294
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: coming up?

295
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: Oh boy, getting back to the question of elections and

296
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: ballot harvesting and blanketing apartment complexes with ballots, which is

297
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: the practice in cal Unicordia, among other places. Got this

298
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: great note from JT on Monday. You guys mentioned you

299
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: need to show an ID in order to get Oh

300
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: A listener mail emailed in that they have to show

301
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: ID in order to get their post stop medications at

302
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:19,359
Speaker 3: a pharmacy where people are abusing like deadly drugs right outside.

303
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: And so why has he got to jump through the

304
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: Hoops story?

305
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 4: What?

306
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: In a different direction? But it got me thinking about

307
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: the whole fake accusations about voter id ie claims by

308
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: Dams that voter ida is racist and will disenfranchise millions

309
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 3: of Americans. Isn't it a thousand times worse to be

310
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 3: denying people their prescription medication for the lack of an ID,

311
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: which everybody seems to be able to come up with.

312
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: Yet there's no great progressive outcry based on the idea

313
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: that people don't get their medications for lacking on an ID.

314
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know about

315
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: people opposing voter ID.

316
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: Well, it's just politicians. They don't even represent their party

317
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: because seventy percent of Democrats and Black Democrats and everybody

318
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 5: is a favorite voter ID. It's it's just people in

319
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 5: control of the party that fight it.

320
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 3: Do you think it's to make voter fraud easier or

321
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: because they know the very small number of voters who

322
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 3: can't come up with an ID are virtually all Democrats.

323
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: No, I think it's that one. Yeah, I think it's

324
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: that one.

325
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe two thirds, a third backwards, a third, two thirds.

326
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 3: I don't know with authority, but there has to be

327
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 3: an explanation for why you oppose something that's overwhelmingly popular.

328
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 2: It's all a booty rumble as far as I can.

329
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 3: Oh, boy, stop saying that.

330
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: Just teasing ahead to the Michael Jackson story again.

331
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: Well, I just saw zorin Mumdani brushed aside a question

332
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 3: of whether his virulent anti Israel rhetoric is contributing to

333
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: all the attacks on Jewish people in New York. He

334
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: brushed it off. Brings up London. A couple of Jewish

335
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: guys got stabbed, and they asked a prominent Muslim media

336
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 3: guy about it, and he said, yeah, Well, it becomes

337
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: more complicated because, of course many people in the Jewish

338
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: community do support Israel, and that becomes a problem. I

339
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 3: think we need to be able to have these conversations.

340
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: Oh but at the same time all agreeing that violence

341
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: is never the solution.

342
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, not forgetting who Michael Jackson was coming up

343
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.

344
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: They don't want to give me credit for anything. They

345
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: made it up, a little ignorant fool. He is a mean,

346
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: he's a racist, and he's very, very, very devilish man.

347
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: We used to play those clips a lot.

348
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 5: We've done God how many hours of radio we probably

349
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 5: done in thirty years on Michael Jackson from back in

350
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 5: the day in his various court cases and the documentaries

351
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 5: and all that sort of stuff.

352
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: Quite a few.

353
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 5: And I still I don't know where you are on it.

354
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 5: But I still don't really know what I think Michael

355
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 5: Jackson was or wasn't.

356
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: Right, right, Yeah, you left out his racial transition, by

357
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 3: the way.

358
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 5: So on SNL, they're fake Tucker Carlson, who's really really good.

359
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: That's one of the things he was for you in

360
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: the Michael Jackson movie. And when did it end before

361
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: he became a white man?

362
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: What do we do? You know to your question of

363
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: what you really think about the charges and everything, I'm

364
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: in the same spot. And if you're part of it

365
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: is if you're a guy like Jacko and word gets

366
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 3: around that you are guilty of, say, you know, child molestation,

367
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: and I'm a greedy, soulless show business parent whose kid

368
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: interacted with Jacko, I'm piling on. I'm piling on. If

369
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: there's a legit charger two, I'm thinking, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

370
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 3: there's money to be had here. So are one of

371
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: the allegations true or half of them or two thirds

372
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: of them or I don't know. That's funny.

373
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: I told my kids just the other day.

374
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: We were talking about this because my youngest saw the

375
00:19:58,840 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: new Michael Jackson movie.

376
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: They liked it.

377
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 5: He went with his friends and they really liked it.

378
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 5: And if you know, anything about the biopic, which features

379
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: his nephew playing him, and it's supposed to be really good.

380
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

381
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 5: Anyway, it's Jackson's whole career up until like basically when

382
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 5: his first solo album, Off the Wall came out, I think,

383
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: or right after Thriller anywhoy. It's before all the child

384
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 5: molestation stuff exploded. And some people thought that that was

385
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 5: a really uncool cover up of his life story. Other

386
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 5: people looked at it as a well, this is just

387
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 5: a movie about his being one of the biggest music

388
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 5: things that's ever happened in the history of the world.

389
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 3: And as I mentioned the other day, it's actually interesting

390
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 3: because they realized in shooting that legally they couldn't comment

391
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: on they couldn't profit from any of that. The Jackson

392
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: family the estate, and so they went to the filmmaker

393
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 3: and said, we can't have any of this in there,

394
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: and as we discussed as a happy accident, because that

395
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: would change the movie so much, right, because look, I

396
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: don't know what the guy's guilty of or not. Brilliant songwriter,

397
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: unbelievable performer, singer, the rest of it.

398
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 5: All the stuff up into the moot where the movie

399
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 5: ends happened the way it happened to there, and the

400
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 5: world was looking at him the way we looked at

401
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 5: him there. So I don't know what to do with

402
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 5: this story. And I actually told my kids, I said,

403
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: I don't know that. I think he's a childless or

404
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 5: I think he is all kinds of messed up because

405
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: he's a child star and all that child abuse victim victim,

406
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 5: and maybe he just liked hanging out with little boys. Well,

407
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 5: now we got this story today. The pushback on this

408
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 5: story that you're about to hear is the sort of

409
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 5: thing Joe just said, the family saying, these families come

410
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 5: out of the woodworks. You know, Michael befriended these families

411
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 5: and these kids, and then the people see a money

412
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 5: grab and you know, you probably do get paid a

413
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 5: couple of million.

414
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 2: Dollars to go away, whether it's true or not.

415
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 5: So this is from sixty Minutes Australia from Sunday night.

416
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 5: I just did a little research because this is like

417
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 5: the third week in a row that sixty minutes Australia

418
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 5: has had a story that makes news in the United States. Yeah,

419
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 5: sixty minutes Australia has nothing to do with sixty minutes

420
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 5: in the United States. It has none of the credibility

421
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 5: built up over many, many decades. It's a format that

422
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 5: you can buy because it has the same clock and

423
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 5: the tick tick tick. But there's no there's no like

424
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 5: sixty minutes United States. Barry Weiss has nothing to do

425
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 5: with it or any of the people that want to

426
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 5: hold on to journalistic credibility.

427
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: Okay, it's more tabloidy.

428
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, doesn't mean this isn't true, though, but it's more

429
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 5: likely if it were sixty minutes United States to.

430
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: Be a lot more solid story. I'm just saying that,

431
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: I guess.

432
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 5: Anyway, four siblings who were part of Michael Jackson's secret

433
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 5: family revealed in an interview Sunday the vile ways that

434
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 5: the late pop star allegedly groomed and sexually abused them

435
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: as children. The Caskio family describe how Jackson did all

436
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 5: this over many many years, lavish gifts, fame. You've heard

437
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 5: this story many many times. The four siblings filed a

438
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 5: lawsuit in February alleging Jackson was a serial child sex

439
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 5: predator who abused him at the homes of Elizabeth Taylor

440
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 5: and Elton John, among the other many other places. Interesting

441
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 5: to throw in that ted bit. Does that make your

442
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 5: abuse better or worse? It's that Elton John's house.

443
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

444
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: I'd rather not be victimized at Elizabeth Taylor's pad, but or.

445
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 5: Any other Right, he's a monster, He's evil. What he

446
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 5: did was evil. He tricked the whole world into thinking

447
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 5: he's innocent, a perfect human being, and he's not, said

448
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 5: Dominic Caskio. I'm not sure that he tricked the world

449
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 5: into thinking he's innocent and perfect. I don't know many

450
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 5: people who think Michael Jackson's perfect for a while.

451
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: Maybe he did.

452
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 5: He carved up his face and turned into a different

453
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 5: color for one thing. I mean, without the sexpot I know, Yeah,

454
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 5: the videlago don't write your emails.

455
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: That makes him a little odd, Yeah, right there.

456
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 5: So the father of these kids met Jackson in the

457
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 5: eighties while working at the Helmsley Palace hotel in New York.

458
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 5: He quickly became part of the singer's inner circle, and

459
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 5: his family would often spend holiday is It Neverland ranch

460
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 5: and travel the world with the.

461
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: King of Pop.

462
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 5: Dude and his wife and his four kids were traveling

463
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 5: the world with Michael Jackson.

464
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be pretty intoxicating. Oh my gosh, when you're

465
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: just a regular working stuff. Yeah, I remember hearing about

466
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 3: this family. Are they aware it's I'm channeling the beloved

467
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: listener right now? Are they aware it's twenty twenty six

468
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: where you been?

469
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, this movie's out. That's got to play a role.

470
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 5: It's got to play a role, the fact.

471
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: And they got pissed off enough and offended enough that

472
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 3: they thought he ought to be brought to heel for

473
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: abusing us sexually for years, or.

474
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 5: They thought now, or they thought it would make get

475
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 5: have a bigger splash, because part of the getting money

476
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 5: to make it go away is how much attention it gets.

477
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: Gets more attention with that movie out.

478
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 3: Not a crazy argument.

479
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 5: One of the siblings, at a forty three now recalled

480
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,359

Speaker 3: It ripped their arms. I was thinking about it. You know.

503
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: I I'm not a big pop music event, but.

504
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 5: I like Michael Jackson's music now more than I did

505
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 5: in the ages. For some reason, Thriller never grabbed me,

506
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: but my kids are kind of into it, and I've

507
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: listened to it more in my amazing stereo in my car,

508
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:32,760

510
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: and it's great Quincy Jones. Right, but I was gonna say,

511
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 3: you know, if my dad had befriended Mick Jagger or something, right,

512
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: and and Micket swing by and I'm not going to

513
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: attempt to do my Mick. It's not good. And it's

514
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: like it's passing by. What's going on? You guys still

00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: we don't.

Speaker 3: We gotta go. Will have school?

Speaker 2: Who cares school shop? We're gonna travel around. Yeah, exactly.

521
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: That's a good way to put it.

522
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

523
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 5: The star wooed the children, all four of them, Eddie

524
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,600

00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,119

00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 5: tour with him and to meet world diplomats.

527
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: Here's the King of Zimbabwe.

528
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: Well room children. I assume he sounds like James Earl Jones,

529
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: the King of Zimbabwe.

530
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 5: The SuperStar's luxury gifts, however, were merely a facade for

531
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 5: the decades of alleged grooming and sexual abuse that followed.

532
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 5: My parents were young for them to have such a

533
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 5: big celebrity want to be friends with them, They definitely

534
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 5: felt special, and so did we. He made us feel

535
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 5: like we're his family, his kids, everything. The Cassio siblings

536
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 5: claimed the campaign of abuse occurred over twenty five years,

537
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 5: including at Jackson's Neverland ranching during the World tours. When

538
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 5: you have the biggest superstar in the world in the

539
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 5: eighties wants to be your friend, you're very vulnerable. Eddie

540
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 5: claimed that Jackson, here's where we start the year. This

541
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 5: is not for your kids to hear. Okay, oh, to

542
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 5: get pretty. I've never heard this stuff before, and we've

543
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 5: done a lot of Jackson's segments in the years. Ay

544
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 5: claimed that Jackson started molesting him when he was eleven

545
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: during the ninety three Dangerous Tour, abusing him every night

546
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 5: while the two shared to bed, and well into his adulthood.

547
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: That's when my world started to change.

548
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 5: We were on tour and that's when Michael started to

549
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 5: get closer, started rubbing me on my legs. I was

550
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: sitting on his lap, and that's when the first kiss happened,

551
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 5: where he kissed me on the lips, Several of the

552
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 5: siblings said Jackson had them participate in a disturbing game

553
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 5: called the booty Rumble.

554
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, we're going to play booty rumble now.

555
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: Well, oh boy.

556
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 5: He would lay on top of me with my genitals

557
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 5: up against his while he would shake and he would

558
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 5: kind of push up against me.

559
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, this is called the booty rumble. Okay, now

560
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: prepare yourself for this.

561
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: Oh my, there's more.

562
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 5: Oh this is yeah, way past the booty rumble. He

563
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 5: would also drink my urine well and tell me this

564
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 5: is how much I love you. I'm maybe twelve years

565
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: old at this time, like I'm a child who's seeing

566
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 5: a grown man do this, Dominic said. Although the youngest

567
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: of the siblings came jack said, Jackson began molesting him

568
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 5: while the two lay in bed together and played video games.

569
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 5: He just pulled down my shorts and started giving me

570
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 5: oral sex. And he'd say right.

571
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: Away, doesn't this feel good? See? I love you? I

572
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: love you.

573
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: Wow.

574
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: And one of them said the fact that he was

575
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: willing to drink my urine made me think he must

576
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 5: really love me.

577
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's why I had react as

578
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: a ten year old, Well, I don't know because it

579
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: didn't happen. He got a trusted friend explaining it to you.

580
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: And you think I have no experience of this in

581
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: the world. He have no idea how you'd reactesh, I.

582
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: Had never heard this one before.

583
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 5: The siblings added the Jackson supplied them with prescription drugs

584
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 5: and alcohol at a young age, including Jesus juice, which

585
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 5: we've heard about before, and documentaries and that sort of stuff,

586
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 5: which was actually wine, and Disney juice, which was hard liquor.

587
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: What are you in the mood for a little Jesus

588
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: jews or Disney juice? Been a long day?

589
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 3: What Jesus juice pairs well with this? Rib ribbi?

590
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: You know it's been a long week. At a math test.

591
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: Hit me with the Disney juice.

592
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 5: He gave me Xanax and vicodin at eleven years old

593
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 5: and told me I'd be floating.

594
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 2: I would love it.

595
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 5: The Cascio Sillbings also alleged that the megastar instilled fear

596
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 5: in them by training them for interrogation by their police

597
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: and parents, causing the kids to be adamant that nothing

598
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 5: abnormal was happening to them.

599
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: While that's an.

600
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 5: Interesting detail, Wow, he was training them in case anybody

601
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: came along and asked questions.

602
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

603
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 5: The pushback is that the Jackson estate says this is

604
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 5: just a money grab by a family that thinks they

605
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 5: can get money after this. Notably, these shakedown attempts come

606
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 5: more than fifteen years after Jackson's death, thus carrying no

607
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 5: risk of being sued for defamation.

608
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: The state said, yeah, which could be true.

609
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely could be. So you know, I'm not going to

610
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: draw a direct line because it's it would be disturbing.

611
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: But if you're a parent and you go, I don't

612
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: mean to the grocery store, I mean you're gone. Who's

613
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: going to raise your children? Don't let the state decide that.

614
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: Don't let the state decide who gets your stuff. It

615
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 3: will cause bitter fighting in your family unless there's some

616
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: sort of miracle. Take probate takes forever. You need to

617

Speaker 3: Okay?

635
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 5: Is this is this Jesus juice, Disney juice or your urine?

636
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 5: I'd really like to know which.

637
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: Oh, Jesus juice before Disney juice, just fine, Disney Dad's

638
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: too cumbersome.

639
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 5: Oh my god. Let's hope this isn't true. I hope

640
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 5: it's a cash grab and none of that happened.

641
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: God dang it. If it's a cash grab, that's despicable too,

642
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: but in a different way.

643
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, cons I get yeah. And

644
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 5: children weren't abused, right, right?

645
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: Right? Would we not?

646
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: Here?

647
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 5: Until now, all these years later? About the urine stuff.

648
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 5: If that was a thing he did, surely not right.

649
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: No, hey McCully again, why would you wait this long? Yeah,

650
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: I mean they couldn't have been betting on I'll bet

651
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: there will be a movie come out, right, and it'll

652
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: end before his accusations, and that's when will pounce.

653
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, yeah, you're right and well when he was

654
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 5: in the court in Los Angeles and that was the

655
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 5: time to strike if you had this story right, Yeah,

656
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 5: it doesn't smell.

657
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: Like oh now now now, now I will be using

658
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 3: the term booty rumble with my wife though.

659
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: Okay, ignorant food.

660
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,479
Speaker 5: Some of you did not like our Michael Jackson segment.

661
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 5: We just to report the news. We can't control the

662
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 5: news flow.

663
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 3: Certainly not. Yeah. So on a totally different topic, and

664
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: I started on this earlier. I wanted to finish it up.

665
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 3: Interesting response to the random stabbing of Jews in London

666
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 3: after a Samall born British man rampage through a heavily

667
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: Jewish London neighborhood stabbed two Jewish men. There's Mehdi Hassan,

668
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 3: who runs the very successful Zittio news organization in Britain,

669
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 3: arguing that violence is bad, but the real issue is

670
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 3: the Jews quote. It becomes more complicated because of course

671
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 3: many people in the Jewish community do support Israel, and

672
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 3: that becomes a problem. I think we need to be

673
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 3: able to have these conversations but at the same time

674
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 3: all agreeing that violence is never a solution. And as

675
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 3: the Free Press writes, a guy stabs Jews on the

676
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: street and this is the response. It becomes more complicated

677
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: because of course many people in the Jewish community do

678
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: support Israel, and that becomes a problem. The jew stabbing.

679
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: It's not good, but we should talk more about why

680
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: we might be Jews stabbing, because they have a point.

681
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 3: The real problem is not the Jews getting stabbed, but

682
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 3: the bad, bad thoughts in the Jews heads and what

683
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: we're going to do about them. That's so sick. We

684
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 3: got this note from first Initial and who says some

685
00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 3: very very nice things about the show. You guys and

686
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 3: a different show that I'm not familiar with, are the

687
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 3: only ones who've stuck to your guns about anti Semitism,

688
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: despite everyone else choosing a side based on which way

689
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 3: the wind blows. I particularly appreciate that you don't feel

690
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 3: a need to knee jerk support or reject everything someone

691
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 3: on the right, especially President Trump, or the left does,

692
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: just on the basis of team's spirit. If only more

693
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 3: voices in the broadcasting podcast world would be so rational.

694
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: And then they make points about candidates openly running on

695
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: anti Semitism, several in Michigan and at least one in Florida,

696
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 3: all Democrats. Though yeah mm. Second, they point out it's

697
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: important to understand that Jews are the Canarian the cold mind.

698
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 3: When society starts blaming, scapegoating its Jews, the entire society

699
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: is in danger. This is a historical reality. So this

700
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 3: is not so much about Jews being in danger. As

701
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: Mark Twain noted, the Romans, Greeks, Persians all came and

702
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 3: made a loud noise and are gone, and the tiny

703
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: persecuted Jewish nations survived. Somehow, it's Western society at stake.

704
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: I've heard other people, Peggy Noonan's written about how when

705
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: you see anti Semitism on the rise, that's a symptom

706
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 3: of sickness in a society. Then, for some reason they

707
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: point out a handful of Jewish people have done terrible

708
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: things and that hey, look we hate them too. They

709
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: are pieces of garbage. But gosh, so please don't judge

710
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 3: the entire Jewish people by the actions of a few.

711
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: I don't think people do. They look for excuses to

712
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: hate people they already hate, and then they talk about

713
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: how it's scary just to go and come and go

714
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 3: from synagogues and schools and stuff. So the vast, vast

715
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 3: majority of Jewish people are proud to fly the flag

716
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 3: of our country and are proactively involved in building its economy.

717
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 3: We marry young, build families. We're happy to have jobs

718
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 3: and pay taxes, and if we're fortunate enough, we build

719
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 3: businesses that employee dozens, hundreds of thousands of employees and

720
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 3: pay them fair wages so they can support their families.

721
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 3: What the hell is going on? Yeah, and they thank

722
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 3: us again. Sure, it's the right thing to do.

723
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 2: My god, I didn't put any thought into it.

724
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: It's just yeah, try not to align with evil is

725
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: a good policy.

726
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

727
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 5: I don't know how you do what, Tucker and now

728
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 5: Megan Kelly do. I really don't know how you do that.

729
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 5: If you miss a segment, get our podcast Armstrong and
