Just 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 1: two weeks ago they hit four fifty. Two weeks later 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 1: five hundred. They have to get to five hundred and 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: sixty seven thousand, plus a margin for signatures tossed out. 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: So with about a month ago, it's really looking good. 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: But gott to finish the home stretch, so recall DA 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 1: George Gascone dot com. Well, we have the Sacramento County 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: District Attorney. She's got the same job as Gascone, but 21 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: in Sacramento and Marie Schubert, and she's running to become 22 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: California Attorney General against the incumbent Rob Banta. The election 23 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: is Tuesday, the primary. There are other candidates as well. 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: She's listed as no party preference, basically independent, not listed 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: as a Republican or Democrat, and that's a good thing. 26 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: And we picked her out. She's on our voter guide 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: and we've decided that she's the real focused candidate among 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: all of them on simply public safety, really really has 29 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: the right approach on the issues that matter with real 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: criminal justice. So let's get her on and Marie welcome. Hey, 31 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: thanks for having me. You guys appreciate you very much. 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: You know, since the announcement came out in the last 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: twenty four hours that they're over the half million mark 34 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: for the Gascone recall. Look like Chess of Bodine might 35 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: go down two to one in San Francisco. The recall 36 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: of the DA there is this are we in a 37 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: year that's it's a turning point where much of the 38 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: public has had enough for this progressive nonsense. Well, I 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: definitely think we're at that point. I mean, you know, 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: I was thinking today about when Gaston left San Francisco 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: and the Police Association issued a press release saying, we 42 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: pray for the citizens of Los Angeles County and exactly 43 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: what was predicted is coming to fruition. And so we're 44 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: at that point now. I mean, let's be honest, Bonta 45 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: is the soul mate of Gascone, and we've got to 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: recognize that, and we've got to realize that this is 47 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: not the life we want to be living. And speaking 48 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: of Bonta, the incumbent thirty General is appointed by Newsom. 49 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: His name is Rob Banta, used to be in the Assembly. 50 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: He's running these odd ads and I'm sure you're aware 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: of them, and Marie where it seems to be pushing 52 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: voters towards one of the Republicans on the ballot. I 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: most think that that's an attempt to how to nudgs 54 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: you out from finishing first or second. Dave you have 55 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: any take on that? Absolutely, I mean I find it 56 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: so hypocritical that they're funding ads, you know, a lot 57 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: of money to kick out me, kick out Shubert and 58 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: get the weakest what they probably believe is the weakest 59 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: Republican And the reality is to me is we've got 60 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: to make a decision on whether we're going to support 61 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: someone that can beat him in November or watch him 62 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: stay in office. And you know, for me, I'm just 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: the real deal. I'm a real prosecutor. I know what 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm doing. I mean, incredibly grateful for your support, support 65 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: of the DA's associations all across California, including your ladas 66 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: by the way, who you know kick Gas going to 67 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: the curve yet again today, So very very proud of 68 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: the work they're doing there to take back Los Angeles County. 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: Talk about the main differences between you and Rob Bonta, 70 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: because people give a lot of deference to an incumbent, 71 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: even one who was appointed, not elected. But Bonta is 72 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: not a well known figure. He rarely gets in the news. 73 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: I bet you most people don't really know what he is. 74 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: That he is another he's out of the gascon chess 75 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: of Bodine's school, talk about to be he's a politician. 76 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a politician who has never been a 77 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: prosecutor's I almost laughed because he's got an ad now 78 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: looking like he's coming out of a courtroom and I'm like, Okay, 79 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: you've never actually been in one. But he if you 80 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: think what's happening in Los Angeles and San Francisco is 81 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: a good thing, then Bonta maybe your guy, because he 82 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: follows that same He's championed many of those policies that 83 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: Gascon is adopted, that Bodine is adopted. He is you know, 84 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: he acts like he's tough on gun violence, yet he 85 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: votes and time and time again to reduce accountability for 86 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: guns and things like that. So he is he's quite 87 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: the polar opposite of me. Listen, I'm a real prosecutor. 88 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: I've been in the courtroom, I've grown up in the system. 89 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: I believe in accountability, I believe in rehabilitation. But we 90 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: are at a crossroads in this state and we have 91 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: to make a decision on where do we want our 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: state leadership, your chief law enforcement officer. Who do you 93 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: want that to be. Do you want that to be 94 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: a career politician who is championed the dismantling of the 95 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: system and support those things at gascon does, or do 96 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: you want a real prosecutor to step into this fight 97 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: and bring back California to a balanced system, to something 98 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: that to end this chaos. As I often say, can 99 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: you explain, Not that there's any logic to this, but 100 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: this is what I've been struggling with. There's much gun 101 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: talk these days. Right after all the shootings, somehow get 102 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: the guns off the street. But then when criminals get 103 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: arrested for their gun crimes, Gascone and his crowd don't 104 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: want to charge them with gun enhancements, which would greatly 105 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: lengthen their sentence. So I don't understand being gun control oriented, 106 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: anti gun and you finally get somebody arrest for using 107 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: a gun and a crime and you don't want to 108 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: give them the gun enhancement charge. What what? What? I 109 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: don't what is that? That's just the ideology that they 110 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: want to you know, decarcerat people, pro criminal policies. I mean, 111 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: here's the reality is that we have, you know, individuals 112 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: in our community that dry violent crime. Okay, we've got 113 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: to fund law enforcement as opposed to what font of 114 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: type support, which is defunding. We've got to give them 115 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: the tools they need to go out and get these 116 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: people that are the most dangerous people, which are the 117 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: gang members, the condicted felons who should not have guns. 118 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: We need to make sure when they're arrested that we 119 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: actually use the tools we still have. And for goodness sake, 120 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: we shouldn't let them out of prison early when we 121 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: send them, because they've got long records. And Vonta is 122 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: defending that. Gascone is trying the best he can from 123 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: within that office to dismantle the system and to really 124 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: really just ultimately try to let people more and more 125 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: people out that are dangerous and they don't seem to 126 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: care what happens when you let all those prisoners out. 127 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean they commit a lot of crime. I mean 128 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: it's clear. Well, thanks COVID. I mean, just to give 129 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: you a number, twenty seven thousand inmates have been let 130 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: out of prison since COVID. That's just prison, that's not 131 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: the jails. I mean, think of that tsunami of things 132 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: coming together that we're having. We're having zero bail, so 133 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: the catching release, we're not holding people accountable. Now we've 134 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: got corrections that wants to let them out after a 135 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: third of their sentence. I mean, at what point are 136 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: we going to realize that this is just not a 137 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: good thing? And then people are shocked at every night 138 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: in the news, there's a whole parade of crime stories, 139 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: smash and grab robberies and jewelry stores, people getting held 140 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: up in their cars, people getting robbed walking out of 141 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: restaurants at clubs. People don't see the connection between the two. 142 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: If you let the prisoners out, this is what the 143 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: prisoners do at night. Well, I think people are starting 144 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,679 Speaker 1: to realize that. I mean, listen, we have a violent 145 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: crime problem, not just across California, across this country. But 146 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: the question that did when you say, what's the difference 147 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: between me and Rob Bonta and George Gascon. I'm not 148 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: going to have some dude tattoo and it's my name 149 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 1: on his forehead, all right, I'm gonna respond the best 150 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: to my ability, and I'm going to hold that person accountable. 151 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to do everything in my power to 152 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: twist the law to try to help the criminal versus 153 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: actually standing up for public safety. I mean, that's what 154 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: Gascone is doing, that is what Bonta is doing, and 155 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: that's where folks, I hope, I mean you never you know, 156 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: people oftentimes don't realize the implications until they're personally affected. Well, now, 157 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: the good people of LA are rising up. My goodness, 158 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: look what's happening. Cities are saying we don't have confidence, 159 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: you know. Recall, five hundred thousand people have signed a 160 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: petition to remove their district attorney. That's historic, that's historic, 161 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: and that's because he is failing in public safe utterly 162 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: Bailey and Robata is exactly the same as George Gasco. 163 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: All Right, Anne, Marie, it's good to talk with you, 164 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: and good luck next Tuesday and the results in the primary. 165 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: And Marie all right at the website is and Marie 166 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: four ag dot com and Marie Schubert, thanks for talking 167 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: to us.

We'll be talking to the Orange 169 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: County DA Todd Spitzer. He's running for re election as 170 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: Orange County DA. But he had this task force. Speaking 171 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: of crime. AB one O nine was passed in twenty 172 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: eleven when Jerry Brown was governor. We we think it 173 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: started this real cascade which led to Prop forty seven 174 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: and Prop fifty seven through twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen. 175 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: But a B one on nine was first. We called 176 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: the prisoner dumping bill. We'll explain again what it is, 177 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: but they had a task force study the impacts of 178 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: a B one O nine Crime Impact task Force and 179 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: they arrested over four hundred people. We'll talk about it 180 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: after five thirty, John, and kN if I do, we'll 181 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: be talking to another DA after five thirty. That's the 182 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: Orange County DA, Todd Spitzer. He has a crime impact 183 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: task force had studied a B one O nine and 184 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: it has resulted in over four hundred arrests, dozens of 185 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: firearms seized. It's a three year period for this. It 186 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: was an undercover effort including investigators, police officers, probation officers 187 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: under the jurisdiction of the Orange County DA. He will 188 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: talk about this at AB one O nine, of course 189 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: stands for Assembly Bill one O nine, passed in twenty eleven. 190 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: It was another way to empty the state prisons by 191 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: turning these people over to local jurisdictions. If they committed 192 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: any kind of new crime or parole violation, probation violation, 193 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: then it was up to the counties to do something 194 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: with them. And that's been a disaster. And I'm assuming 195 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: that all these people they arrested for all these crimes 196 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: were once in state prison and they were let out 197 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: I believe they were benefit tours of AB one O nine. Yes, 198 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: I think that's what you're going to find out. All right, 199 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: you're on after That should be your first question. That's 200 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: the first question. Back to the LA County District Attorney, 201 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: George Gascone. We mentioned already that they have surpassed five 202 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: hundred thousand signatures collected by LA County registered voters. To 203 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: put a recall on the ballot in November, they need 204 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: to reach over six hundred thousand signatures because they have 205 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: to have a margin of era. Signatures will be tossed out. 206 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: They have the until July sixth to do this. The 207 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: other thing, big thing that happened today, and this is 208 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: a good one, and we have to again thank the 209 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: LA County Association of Deputy District Attorneys for which what 210 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: was it ninety eight percent who voted voted in favor 211 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: of the recall of their boss. Yes, something like that. 212 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: They successfully went to court and they got a judge 213 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: to put an injunction on Gascon because one of his 214 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: directives was not to pursue three strike cases. Well, the 215 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: three strikes law passed in nineteen ninety four, so that's 216 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: the law of the land. Well, when this judge slapped 217 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: an injunction on Gascon, he turned around and he appealed, 218 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: and today the decision came down from a California appeals 219 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: court that upholds the injunction. George Gascone cannot be a sovereign. 220 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: He does not have absolute unreviewable discretion to decide which 221 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: laws to obey and which laws to disobey, because I 222 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: am the king of La County as the DA when 223 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: it comes to criminal prosecution. They didn't do that. They 224 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: said it directly in their ruling. The district attorney overstates 225 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: his authority. He's an elected official who must comply with 226 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: the law, not a sovereign with absolute unreviewable discretion. Yeah. 227 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: These by the way, these three strikes cases were serious 228 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: violent felons, serious violent felons. Yeah, because it's just results 229 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: in more jail time in prison time, and that's what 230 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: he's against. So all of his directives were about trying 231 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: to end prison time or extended prison time. That's what 232 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: he tried to do when he took over the immediately 233 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: this thing double passed in nineteen ninety four because the 234 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: legislature passed three strikes, But then there was Prop one 235 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: eighty four that passed three strikes so that the legislature 236 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: could never undo it. De Wier's defendant's convicted of a 237 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 1: new felony to serve twice the normal prison time if 238 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: they were convicted of a felony after two or more strikes. 239 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: The lawmen dated they served at least twenty five years 240 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: in prison to life. So it's been any that have 241 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: tried to undo it, but it has stood up over time. 242 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: It's been twenty three reasons that everybody was bragging a 243 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: few years back about the low crime rates, we know 244 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: that absolutely. That's why he had low crime rates for 245 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: a long time because the worst guys were put into 246 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: prison for a long time or forever. And that's the way. 247 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: And as soon as we start doing that, you know 248 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,479 Speaker 1: they're going to be running stories about rainbows and unitcorns 249 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: on the news every night. One of the warriors in 250 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: the effort to seat George Gascone is an Ellie County 251 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: Deputy DA named John Hatami, who told Fox News when 252 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: George Gascone took office, he dictated blanket policies, ignored the law, 253 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: disregarded evidence and facts, abandoned victims, and ordered his prosecutors 254 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: to remove provable strikes, also special circumstances, allegations, and enhancements. 255 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: George didn't do that because of public safety, or to 256 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: reform the system, or even because it was the right 257 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: thing to do. He did it because of his own 258 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: dangerous political beliefs. And I think that was well said 259 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: in this quote. Yes, that sums up gascone and dangerous 260 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: is the word. This is like you've heard those weird 261 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: religions where they sacrifice children or sacrifice animals in ancient times. 262 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: That's what this is. It's an intense religious like cult, 263 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: belief in something that has no logic, no rational thinking 264 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: behind it. It's just a feeling and impulse, a belief. 265 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: I hate that word belief. Belief implies that you don't 266 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: have any evidence of truth. It comes from the belief. 267 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: But if somewhat is true by statistics that our criminal 268 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: justice system unfairly punishes disproportionately people of color, but that 269 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: ignores the fact that the crimes are committed. If the 270 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: crimes are committed, you can't just stand there and say, well, 271 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: because it was committed, but you happen to be a 272 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: person of color, we'll have to dismiss it. It's not 273 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: unfair if they committed the crime. And there's no law 274 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: that says you're going to have criminals equally distributed among 275 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: all demographics. I mean, we don't have many women in prison, 276 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: and nobody makes that argument that men are disproportionately saying 277 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: this prison right, I mean, nobody makes that argument. If 278 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: you argument instead, is it to de men are just 279 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: inherently violence, Well, because they are. Men are inherently violent. 280 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: And and I've yet to see anybody say, well, you know, 281 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: we need to put more women in prison in order 282 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: to balance things. What are you talking about, well, or 283 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: the other argument, we need to release more men because 284 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: they're being punished disproportionately. Well, that's basically what we're doing. 285 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: We're releasing in most cases men in fact. But I 286 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: give it here as men of color or disproportionately. See 287 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't look at color. I look at what they do. 288 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: When I see on the news six guys busting up 289 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: a jewelry store, I see six guys busting up a 290 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: jewelry store. Yeah, I know you can't too. You know 291 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: a lot of times you couldn't tell anybody's color anyway. 292 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: They got ski hats and masks on. Well, then you 293 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: go one step back. This crowd believes in our whole system, 294 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: the history of our entire country is biased. You know what. 295 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: These guys came into life with the odd stacked against them. 296 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: I'm sick of their fantasy interpretations of the world. It's 297 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: really worn out and tired. They're wrong. They've been proven 298 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: wrong enough of these people. I'm not spending the rest 299 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: of my life arguing with crazy people. Somebody commits a crime, 300 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: you put them in jail. Then they can't commit another 301 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: crime for a while. I don't care what they're or 302 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: their ethnicity, their their gender, or anything. It doesn't matter. 303 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: You commit the cris see guys on videotape stealing stuff 304 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: from a jelry store. Put them away for a while, 305 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: then they can't steal. I don't know what else to 306 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: tell you, all right, We believe the downfall in California's 307 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: cotal justice system began in twenty eleven with the passage 308 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: of Assembly Bill one O nine. We call it the 309 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: prisoner dumping Bill. This is the idea to move people 310 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: out of the state prisons, hand them over to the 311 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: counties to deal with if they recommit crimes anyway. We'll 312 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: be we're talking Arts County, DA Todd Spitch about all 313 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: this coming up next John and Ken K five Tomorrow 314 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: at five o five. Our guest is Rick Caruso. You 315 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: want to tune in. He could be LA's next mayor. 316 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: We'll have one last chance before the big boat on 317 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: Tuesday to talk to Rick Caruso. Although I fully expect 318 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: if he doesn't finish first, he'll finish second. And being 319 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: in the November runoff, oh yeah, absolutely, Uh it's and 320 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens. Maybe maybe people will 321 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: wake up, maybe they have awakened and rather an elect 322 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: a tired old political hack aligned with Mike Bonnen and 323 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: George Gascone, they'll they'll vote for Rick Caruso and start 324 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: making life better again, because only the way, the way 325 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: it's going now is absurd. Now, a lot of the 326 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: trouble actually started over ten years ago, twenty Elevenest'll remember 327 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: the year I simply build one oh nine, oh my god, 328 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, and it was bad enough on its own, 329 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: but it unleashed a torrent of bad laws, bositions, all 330 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: kinds of bad policies. And so now we've got thousands 331 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: and thousands of ex prisoners running around committing thousands of cribes. 332 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: Everybody's going hit wepping, whopping? Who's good? Why are they 333 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: smashing jewelry stores over night? On TV? Well? M Todd 334 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: Spitzer's the Orange County District Attorney and he's running for 335 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: reelection too, and you and Orange County ought to vote 336 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: for him. We spent a lot of time on Gascone 337 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: in La County because he's a disaster. But Spitzer does 338 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: the right thing in Orange County and hopefully he won't 339 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: have any trouble in the primary on Tuesday. Why don't 340 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: we get him on here because he's got to talk 341 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: about this AB one O nine Crime Impact task Force. 342 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: It started three years ago and the results. Todd, how 343 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: are you? I'm great? Thanks for having me on. I mean, 344 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: what's the morrow of the story? And I just think 345 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the hedgeh On. It's like, 346 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: do people understand that the policies that get past a 347 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 1: decade ago have actual impacts on our day to day life? Like, like, 348 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: are people really surprised at criminals who have gotten out 349 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: the early are doing the smash and grabs that follow 350 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: home robberies, the murders, you know, they're living on the 351 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: street as our new homeless, because you know, they got 352 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: out of prison and they can't get jobs and they 353 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: just want to steal from us. So three years ago, 354 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: when well a little more than three years ago, when 355 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: I got elected, I saw this coming and I said, 356 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: wait a minute, So I appointed an undercover team of 357 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: my DA investigators. I have one hundred and fifty sworn 358 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers at work for my agency, and I 359 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: designated a group of them to work with other agencies 360 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: in Orange County, and we specifically target these eighty one 361 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: on nine ers who are high risks because if you 362 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: remember when one on nine was written in order to 363 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: get these guys out early from prison and put them 364 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: in local county jail instead of state prison. They only 365 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: look at their current offense. They don't look at their 366 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: entire criminal history. But we do, and so we target them, 367 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: we survey them, and we know we do business. I mean, 368 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: we get them and we have taken guns off the street. 369 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: We've arrested over five hundred and sixty seven of these 370 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: knuckleheads for new crimes, including attempted murder, stolen cars, thirty 371 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: eight stolen cars, four hundred and twenty six new felonies, guns, 372 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: assault weapons, military grade weapons. Like, we are out there, 373 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: they're kicking you know, some took us. Okay, we're out 374 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: there doing our job to keep Orange County safe. Now, 375 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: these tasks forces should be everywhere, but you think George 376 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: Gascon would want to support anything like this. So how 377 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: does the task force work? You were able to get 378 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: the addresses of where hundreds and hundreds of former felons 379 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: were living and somehow keep them all under surveillance. Like practically, 380 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: it seems like a really unwieldy type of operation. Right, 381 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: So when these guys are sentenced, instead of state prison, 382 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: they're sentenced to county jail and they're let out on 383 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: local community supervision that is now supervised not by parole 384 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: but by Probation department. So we have a partnership with Probation, 385 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: and Probation knows who their high risk supervisores, you know, 386 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: the ones they're monitoring their parole ees. But they're not 387 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: on state parole, they're on local parole. They're monitoring. We 388 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: know who these people are who are dangerous. So for example, 389 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: we had five LA Now these were not people we supervise, 390 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: but we had five LA criminals who were part of 391 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: a burglary ring who are targeting expensive homes in Orange 392 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: and San Berndino. They committed forty four burglaries, okay, and 393 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: we were all over them with the Sheriff's Department, Buena 394 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: Park Police FOETS in Anaheim. My task force is very malleable, 395 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: so while we have a core group, we can work 396 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: with any agency or jurisdiction to go after individuals who 397 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: are targeting those communities. So we ended up arresting five 398 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: LA criminals with long rap sheets, I mean three strikers, 399 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: other burglaries and those kinds of things. And now all 400 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: five of those guys are looking at twenty five to 401 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: life hundred years in state prison. Like those are exactly 402 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: the people note that should never get out of prison. 403 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: There should be no rehabilitation because it doesn't exist. This 404 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: whole fiction right that these repeat offenders we should only 405 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: look at their latest offense. We should coddle them. These 406 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: are the people that are destroying our community, which is 407 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: why Orange County is California's safest large county. And we 408 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: need to do this in LA. When we get rid 409 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: of Chessa next Tuesday in San Francisco, when we eventually 410 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: get rid of George. We can take back our communities. 411 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: And I plan to help those das, those new das 412 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: do that in their communities. It's a stunning report. As 413 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: you said, five hundred and sixty seven arrests, ten attempted 414 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: murder suspects, thirty eight stolen car suspects. You wrote about 415 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: the massive amount of narcotics, enough fentinyl to kill hundreds 416 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: of thousands of people, fifty five firearms, six assault weapons. 417 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: I mean that is a huge hall all people who 418 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: used to be in state prison and they got let 419 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: out because of AB one on nine specifically right, well 420 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: maybe one o nine, and also the governor. I mean, look, 421 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: the liberals, and I mean, let me make two points. 422 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: I think I was on when we talked about my 423 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: fentanyl relationships. So now I'm cross designating one of my 424 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: prosecutors to work with the United States Attorney's Office. When 425 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: somebody kills somebody because of a poisoning of fentanyl, I 426 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: have to prove right and tend to kill. Very difficult 427 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: burden in the state court. But if I can prove 428 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: in federal court under federal law that they furnished the 429 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: pill and it had fentanyl, I can get twenty years 430 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: to life for murder. Now I'm partnering with ATF, So 431 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm partnering with federal agencies who are out there kicking 432 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: some major butt because the state legislature is taking away 433 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: all my tools to protect the community. And then I 434 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: have to deal with people like Gascone who are watering 435 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: down every single tool we have or eliminating these tools 436 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: to keep the public safe. But really back to that 437 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: original point, when the legis slats or when our policy makers, 438 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: the people we elect, when they make these laws. It 439 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: takes some time, and now you can see the devastating 440 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: impact to Los Angeles as a result of Top forty seven, 441 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: fifty seven and maybe one O nine. And the thing is, 442 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,479 Speaker 1: I just made a statement three years ago, very subtle. 443 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: I didn't talk about it. I wanted to see how 444 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: it would work. With this undercover team, we are going 445 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: all over California, We're going out of state, we are 446 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: going anywhere, and with whatever means it takes to get 447 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: the criminals who are hurting people in Orange County and 448 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: bringing them to justice. And our partnership with all the 449 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: other agencies is fantastic. Look, one of the biggest things 450 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: we all know and you talked about this every day, 451 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: is the lack of morale amongst law enforcement. Because people 452 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: like Gascon and Chessa are always kicking their rare ends 453 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: and they don't want to the cops can't do their job. 454 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: The cops are empowered to go out and arrest the 455 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: bad guys and put them in jail for a long, 456 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: long period of time. All right, Todd, good to talk 457 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: with you again, Luck on Tuesday. Thank you so much, 458 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: Thanks for your endorsement. All Right, the Orange County District 459 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: Attorney Todd Spitzer doing what every DA should be doing, 460 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: putting together a task force to check out the criminals 461 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: who benefited from Assembly Bill one O nine, the prisoner 462 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: dumping bill. More coming up, John, and can't Gaffy Well, 463 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: I saved the most important for the end of the show. 464 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: I have not really been able to concentrate today trying 465 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: to figure out how Amber Heard's going to pay Johnny Depp. 466 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: I don't know how. She's not. No, they're gonna appeal 467 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: because they had no choice. She doesn't have ten million 468 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: dollars to give him. Now you know what, She's blown 469 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: most of her money. Speak it's you. Now you're into 470 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: the story. She spends an all kind of reading that. Well, 471 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: the headline caught my eye that she couldn't pay lavish 472 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: spending is mounting legal fees. Like I said, I don't 473 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: really know who she is. I don't know a single 474 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: show or movie she was in. But I wondered how 475 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: much money she had because when I heard ten million dollars, 476 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: it's pretty stiff. Even by celebrity standards, that's a lot 477 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: of money. Most most well known people don't have ten 478 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: million dollars in cash. Line around. The other cool criminal 479 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: justice news today is that a man that once ran 480 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: for president didn't he for a brief time. Michael Lavenati 481 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: got another prison sentence today from a judge. He got 482 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: four years for stealing nearly three hundred grand in book 483 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: advanced money from that wonderful Stormy Daniels, Trump's friend. Yeah, 484 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: he's already been convicted, so a portion of the sentence 485 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: will be served concurrent to time he's already doing in 486 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: a separate extortion case. That was the Nike case, right, 487 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: But the he'll have to serve thirty months of the 488 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: new sentence after he finishes the other extortion she took. 489 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: He took all of Stormy Daniel's book money they did. Yeah, 490 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: and he's such a dirtbag. He was cn edge candidate. 491 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: They had him on, you know, twelve times a day, 492 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: and they were constantly pushing him his presidential material. Oh, 493 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: he became the face of Trump opposition. Yeah, he had 494 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: a fan club, you wouldn't believe. I remember he came 495 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: to LA I think he came to West Hollywood and 496 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: people were all jamming into a club or a bar 497 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: to see him, and I was like, whoa. I told 498 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: you he was the greatest thing ever to that crowd. 499 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: I told you. I saw him restaurant.
