Thank you for voting 21 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: the County of Los Angeles. Oh my god, that's a 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: breaking news story. Can they do that? Apparently that they 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: were highly illegal. Anybody ever gonna message get that to 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: the news department. Well I got that same text, just 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: not the bottom portion. John, you didn't yours about changing 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: your vote? No, no, I though apparently you voted the 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: way they wanted you too. I guess I don't know. Yeah, 28 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: your little wokester, I'm not Actually you voted the correct way. 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: And well, I'm not going to tell you. As a newsperson, 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: I can't divulge that information. She can't appear to have 31 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: any opinion about anything. Well, I can't have opinions, just 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: not on that certain yes, dogs and cats that I 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I know what you opened up, John, I 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know that you opened up the 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Deborah box. Why'd you do that? Because it's a fun 36 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: box open? Oh yeah, but it's hard to close. I 37 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: like the the try to get it closed and they'll talking. 38 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: Can't keep her down. I don't know what that's about. Yeah, okay, 39 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: I don't tell you mean you need to look into that. 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: I don't think the county can revise a person's vote, right, 41 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: Apparently nobody's voting, despite the fact that they showered the 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: entire state with the mail in ballots. People can't even 43 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: be bothered with that. We understand only only sixty mail 44 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: in ballots. And I was right because apparently the early 45 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: vote centers that nobody showed up. The one place had 46 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: twenty people all day. Well, you know, we're still gonna 47 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: end up with a new mayor. Either way, we're gonna 48 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: talk about Los Angeles will have a new mayor and 49 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: most likely it'll be either Rick Caruso or Karen Bath. Well, 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: we have Joe Bushkayano who ran for mayor this year 51 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: and then he withdrew from the race and joined the 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Rick Caruso campaign. Let's get Joe on. Joe, How are 53 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: you good? John? Great to see you in Deva at 54 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: our five k Italy run here a little Italy. You 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: know all the listeners. John and I finished record breaking 56 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: time eight hours and twenty seconds from the five k, 57 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: so I really appreciate that. It was great to see 58 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: you endevor down here. That's right, I did three miles 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: in eight and a half hours. You get the pasta 60 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: along the way or that works. No no, no sausage sandwiches. Um, 61 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: So not a big turnout today. Um, I don't know 62 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: if that's that's good or bad for in terms of 63 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: Rick Caruso and his vote total. Well, to Ken's point, 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, we the voters opted to move the city 65 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: elections aligned with the state and federal to make it 66 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: easier and increase more voter turnout with hopes of doing so. 67 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: And if this case is Ken indicated, everyone got a 68 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: ballot and yet we've seen dismal numbers, and I think 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: that goes to show the the apathy of voters or 70 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: what they're seeing today and they're they're fed up and 71 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: don't trust what's taking place. So we're hopeful that at 72 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: the end of the night, Rick Caruso, even with the 73 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: low voter turnout, is a top vote getter. Yeah, nobody 74 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: expects him to clear fifty percent, though there's a good 75 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: chance based on numbers. Now, don't believe that La Times 76 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: bs Pole that that sent out a massive email of 77 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred people and shows Karen Bass winning the valley. 78 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind that hard to believe. So there's 79 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: still a possibility of him taking this. But you know, 80 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: even with Kevin da Leone still in the race. Unlikely 81 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: that rig will take this fifty plus one. Unfortunately, we 82 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: want this to be over with and start working to 83 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: restore the quality life for our city. Yeah, did you 84 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: see the latest La Times hit piece on Rick Carusos? 85 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: Is he over exposed? Is there too each of them 86 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: on the TV that people are seeing? His ads are everywhere, 87 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: But honestly, he had to really introduce himself to a 88 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: lot of people. A lot of people were not aware 89 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: of who Rick Caruso is. Not that they know Karen 90 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: Bass that much better, but she's been in political life 91 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: and he's had some connection to political life, but largely 92 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: an unknown. So I think it was a good idea 93 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: to blanket the airwaves. Well, I've been stumping with him 94 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: this last month in all parts of the valley, the 95 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: West Side and listening to him speak to the media. 96 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: He started at six percent, and of course he never 97 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: ran for office, so he used his resources and his 98 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: messaging that he and I agree on that clean street, 99 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: safe streets bottom line has been resonating. And what's the 100 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: reaction of the people as you've campaigned with him? What 101 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: are people telling him? How are they responding to his 102 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: message in person. We were in North Hollywood, John just 103 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: yesterday at salsa beer packed house for lunch. I never 104 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: realized the folks they started drinking early. But when we 105 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 1: were walking that restaurant together. We were walking that restaurant together, 106 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: I mean folks were coming up to him, from the 107 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: cooks in the kitchen to your everyday resident and the 108 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: couple at the bar wearing their dodgers. Jersey is saying 109 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: thank you for running, Please clean our city. Please, we 110 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: want more officers, not less officers. And we're you know, 111 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: he was working table by table and they're all in 112 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: alignment with his vision, with our vision and what we 113 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: want the best for the city. Then we went to 114 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: a manufacturing facility in in Simar and the workers there 115 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: this year every day Angelina hard workers coming up and 116 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: says thank you. We have voted for you, all walks 117 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: of life, all ages. And I think that's going to 118 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: reflect on the outcome tonight. Well, by the way it's 119 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: been pointed out, and I'm sure you're aware, Joe, that 120 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: the mayor of la and it's a little more powerful 121 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: than most other city mayors. What do you think the 122 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: first thing he's going to want to do if he 123 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: can win this election, probably in November. Well, he's going 124 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: to assemble a team quickly because remember he takes oath 125 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: the middle of December, so you've got to put together 126 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: a quick transition and of course activate the emergency Operations 127 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: Center and at the same time we'd be able to 128 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: state the state of emergency on homelessness. But I know Rick, 129 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: I've known him for over twenty years. He's going to 130 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: put together the best and brightness team that's going to 131 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: change direction here in the city. But I'll tell you 132 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: if you want more of the same something that I 133 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: campaigned on what Rick has been saying, than vote for 134 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: Karen Bass because she's focused on committee work. She's focused 135 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: on the root causes of homelessness, which you and I 136 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: know is housing, affordability, mental illness, and drug addiction. Karen 137 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: basking to be focused on task forces. We don't have 138 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: time for that. Rick is going to hit the ground 139 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: running and solve the most present crisis in our city. 140 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: Would you define him though, as a housing first guy 141 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: on homelessness? No, like me, we're balanced. We will focus 142 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: on intram housing, emergency housing like what I've done here 143 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: in my district, but also accountability and consequences for those 144 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: who refuse to go in. And you know, it's it's 145 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: something that I've seen firsthand a front row seat of 146 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: these extreme views and the city council and City Hall 147 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: that it's a housing first model. It's also accountability model. 148 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: It's not a housing first model. It's a drug addiction, 149 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: mental health problem that falls on the lap of the 150 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: county government, the state government, and he's going to lead 151 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: with urgency and be relentless on addressing those issues. Well, 152 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: and we've seen this evolved now into the housing first 153 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: People are not just talking about any housing now. They 154 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: want more permanent apartment style. Privacy is one I'm hearing. 155 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: They want something that's probably out of reach expense wise 156 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: for the city to do for the many many more 157 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: that will probably come here when they're going to get 158 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: their own private home. It's fantasy. You need tens and 159 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: tens of billions of dollars. That's it's impossible. There's there's 160 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: no sources of money to pay for that, and there 161 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: never will be.

I'd 203 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: like thirty years in a box to be lets alone. 204 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 1: But termites love to eat the woods, so wouldn't you 205 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: be eating wood? Secondhand? If you're eating I think you 206 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: don't want there's been termites up there for thirty years. 207 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: That attic is gonna fall apart. Really that we got 208 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: more company, John, and can't can't find you when you 209 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: think about it. They probably will have an easy time 210 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: with the results today because there's nobody going to be 211 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: lined up with the polls closed at eight o'clock waiting 212 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: to vote, right, nobody showing up today, and barely anybody 213 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: voted with the valid ballot. It looks it looks like 214 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: they're counting the votes as they come in, right, because yeah, 215 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: you're right, yours has already counted when you go, like 216 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,599 Speaker 1: a couple hours after you voted, Yeah, yeah, well I 217 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: got it before three o'clock or what time did I vote? 218 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: I voted about ten of this morning, so five hours, 219 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: not even, and they counted the vote, and your vote 220 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: was counted quickly when you sent, oh, I put it 221 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: in that lockbox thing. And I think the next day 222 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: I got a email that it was or text that 223 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: it was voted. It was counted, but they didn't change 224 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: your votes, right, didn't say that no, all right, My 225 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: text said they changed mind, so you may have to 226 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: look into that. I love the way though, Like for 227 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, don't be Californians. You know, waited 228 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: in line all night. It was the foregone conclusion that 229 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: Biden was to win California easily. They get all worked 230 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: up all these presidential elections because everyone's talking about it. 231 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: But really you're impacted more if you live in La 232 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: by the crappy city and the crappy government we have, 233 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: and that's what's up. There's several council seats and the 234 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: mayor seat up. That's what really impacts your life. I know, 235 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: not whether or not Trump or Biden is president. It's 236 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: just dumb. I know. It really bothers me a lot 237 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: more and more because there's such a celebrity fetish over 238 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: who's the president exactly what twenty four seven now, like 239 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: you remember Trump was president. It was every show, all 240 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: the talk shows to comedy shows. Everything was about Trump. Everything. 241 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: And in that same period of time, Eric Garcetti was 242 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: Mary Los Angeles and destroyed the city and nobody cared. 243 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: And yeah, and there was almost no comment. Times coverage 244 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: was about Trump, this and Trump right, right, and Trump 245 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: and Biden have had zero effect on the homelessness and 246 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: the time in LA which is ruined the place. I's 247 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: just fascinating to me. And then finally you get a 248 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: chance to at least change the mayor, pick the mayor 249 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: and some of the city council people, and nobody shows up. 250 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: It's bewildering. Which of people didn't care. I'd understand, but 251 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: everybody's upset with what's going on. Everybody's upset with the 252 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: homeless and the crime and the garbage and all the rest. 253 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: Everybody is. But then the moment comes to do something 254 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: and everyone's asleep. Yeah, I mean, it would be really 255 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: horrible too if the person that replaces Bonnen in your 256 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: council district is the idiot that he's recommending this Aaron Darling, 257 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: because that would just get me. I mean, even in 258 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: that where that seems to be a hot topic and 259 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: looks like there's going to be turned out to get 260 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: somebody different in there, that would be depressing. Speaking of 261 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: LA and all the corruption, we have another sentence handed 262 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: out from a former official at the Los Angeles Department 263 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: of Water and Power. This guy's name is David Alexander 264 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: he was the top official in charge of cyber security 265 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: at LADWP. He just got four years in prison. He's 266 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: another one that was involved in this big corruption case 267 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: at the DWP and the City Attorney's office. You hear that, 268 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: Mike Fear, When is that they coming where they're gonna 269 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: come after you? But David Wright, the former DWP general manager, 270 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: got six years in April. This guy Alexander got four years. 271 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: Basically to boil it down, a lot of it comes 272 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: back to the same man. I'm all a man by 273 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: the name of Paul Paradise, Paul Paradise or Paradise. He 274 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: was a New York attorney, you might say, with the 275 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: New York attorney with LADWP. I don't know. He honed 276 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: his way in there. He got himself involved in the 277 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: billing scandal. But eventually he also got LADWP to rig 278 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: the biddings so he could win some big contract for 279 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: his new company, and Alexander apparently helped him do that. 280 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: Alexander wanted a job with the big new company that 281 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: this Paradise was going to roll out, so that was 282 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: his incentive and that's basically what he did. He was 283 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: the chair of some cybersecurity working group, and he influenced 284 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: the composition of a scoring committee and he persuaded them 285 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: to rate this Paradise company favorably. Right, sure enough, the 286 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: company was awarded a contract. So that's how the corruption works. 287 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: And they got him because by then Paradise was already 288 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: being investigated by the FBI, and he wore a wire, 289 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: so they recorded this guy, Alexander or you know, it 290 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: never occurs to these these idiots that you're dealing with 291 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of dishonest people. You're dishonest, right, but so 292 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: are your partners. They're dishonest as well. Now, if the 293 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: FEDS or any other investigative group gets a whiff that 294 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: there's something funky going on, they're gonna try to flip 295 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: one of you. Right, they're gonna they're gonna call one 296 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: of you up and offer a deal. Deal, no jail. 297 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: Where the wire? How are you going to trust this 298 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: dishonest bastard, Right, he's already willingly breaking the law. Why 299 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: do you trust that if he gets offered the wire 300 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: he won't rat you out. I don't know, that's what. Yeah, 301 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: And of course they were checking Paradise's phone too, And 302 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: after his company got another contract, thanks to this Alexander character. 303 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: Alexander texted, hey, I know my job, and he sent 304 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: the laughing crying emoji. Yeah, you're saying, you see, I 305 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: could do that for you, and then they put it 306 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: in writing. That's another thing. They always leave a text 307 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: trail or an email trail. You gotta communicate. But sent 308 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: a pigeon. Why I was supposed to You got to 309 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: go in the park under a tree a burner phone, 310 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: whispered to each other. Yeah, talking to burner phone. Right, 311 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm amazed how these stupid asses leave all this evidence behind. 312 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: They make it easy, all right, don't forget coming up 313 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: at four o'clock.

All right, Yeah, 326 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: somebody's got to finish second behind Newsom's that's I don't know, 327 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, then he got great if it was Shellenburg 328 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: and he got six months to figure out who he is. 329 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: But you'll have to trust us on that one. And 330 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: then Tracy Park if you live on the west side 331 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: in the in the Bonden District Council District eleven, you 332 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: vote for her because you know Bonden has pulled the 333 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: rip cord. He's gone thankfully. Yeah. All right, there's a 334 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: headline in the Elsagundo Times just came out parts of 335 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: southern California increase their water use by twenty six percent 336 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: in April, despite calls for conservation. We're going to talk 337 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: about the dopey obsession over how much water a home 338 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: uses coming up later on in the show. In fact, 339 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: there's one water district that we've talked about before which 340 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: actually has a device, whether you like it or not, 341 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: which is going to cut your water use. Explain all 342 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: that I mean horrendous. Oh, I watch the way you 343 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: can tear it out. Well, what do you think's going 344 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: to happen? Let's talk for a moment, speaking on election 345 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: day of an elected official who really her time has 346 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: come and gone, but unfortunately she's still the senior California 347 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: US senator. It's Diane Feinstein. She did an interview with 348 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: something called The Cut. Do you know what the Cut is? 349 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: I read this yesterday. Yes, she sent me the link. 350 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: It's a section of I sent you the link. Oh, 351 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: you're doing the finestone. Actually I don't remember if you did. Yes, Oh, 352 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 1: you're right, you're right. Ad a picture of her then 353 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: and now? Yeah, you did a Feinstein there. Yeah, you 354 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: sent me the link yesterday morning. The Cut is like 355 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: a subsection of New York magazine. Oh, that's what it is. Yeah, 356 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: I didn't understand what the Cut was. I'm reading a 357 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: story that Insider did. I guess it's Business Insider, which 358 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: summarizes the interview, but it begins with Senator Diane Feinstein, 359 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: the oldest sitting senator, sat down for an interview with 360 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: The Cut. In the interview, Feinstein sometimes forgot questions and 361 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: depended on an aid to help a recall details, but 362 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: a former staffer emphatically says a diminished Senator Feinstein is 363 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: better than electing a new one, making the case that 364 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: you want it's more clout. If you're a senior senator 365 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: in DC, you see them if you're starting out. Yeah, 366 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: well I kind of understood it after reading the whole article, 367 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: because the Senate is a weird body, and what they 368 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: respect is seniority and all your power and all the 369 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: deference comes with how many years you spent there, doesn't 370 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: matter which party you're with, doesn't matter whether you've accomplished 371 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: anything tangible. For normal people, it's that's that if you're 372 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: there long enough and you get on the committees you 373 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: want to be on, and then when it comes to 374 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,239 Speaker 1: spending money, you get a lot of state, a lot 375 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: of say is cloud what projects get financed? And she's 376 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: on some powerful committees because she is one of the 377 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: matter of fact, when Tad Lahey, the Democratic Senator from Vermont, 378 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: officially retires in January, Feinstein will become the longest serving 379 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: Democratic Senator currently in office that carries cloud. Just that's 380 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: the way it works. So this former worker said that, well, 381 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose her seniority. Right, every other state benefits 382 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: from California not having seniority because our appropriations are so 383 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: much larger. So she is eighty eight, And apparently she 384 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: was asked about the nineteen ninety four assault weapons ban 385 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: that she authored, and she couldn't really, well, here's the 386 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: here's the quote. Everything's become more partisan than it was 387 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: when I came to the Senate. When I came to 388 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: the Senate, Bob Dole was a leader. He stood up 389 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: and said, what was it? Tom? Can you help me? 390 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: What was the quote that that Bob done? She also 391 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: forgot the year of the assault weapons band, which was 392 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. That's the year it was. Right, in 393 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: a way, the weapon issue was a good one because 394 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: we were able to pass the first bill. When when 395 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: was that? Tom? Whoever Tom is, He had to do 396 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: a lot of work. Tom's on Wikipedia. Tom Tom probably 397 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: wasn't even born in nineteen ninety four. I mean, honestly, 398 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: if you're one of her aids, Senate aids, it's like 399 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: working in the home, right you basically are a daycare workers? Right, Well, 400 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: it's been like it's Tom Mentser, her communications director. It's 401 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: like that with has been like that with a lot 402 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: of senators over the years. Where where we all remember 403 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: strom Thurman, right, he was a hundred and he pretty 404 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: much was just in ten years. He had no idea 405 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: where he was. He was, he was in his wheelchair, 406 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: filling up his diaper. They'd roll him to the Senate 407 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: Florida vote and they put someone would move his hand 408 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: to press the right button to the green button for yes, 409 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: and there's a red button for no. And then they 410 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: take his hand off and roll them back into the office, 411 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: change his diaper, and that was your day. So but 412 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, these aids, they work eighteen hours a day 413 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: and they're all they're all driven workaholics, political geeks. So 414 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: they learn what they need to learn quickly and they 415 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: function really as as as the senator. Right, the whole 416 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: blob of aids, that's the Senator, and she's just literally 417 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: a figurehead. There's nothing but a head left. So they 418 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: asked Chuck Schumer, the Senate a jarity leader, whether he 419 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: had confidence in Feinstein's ability to serve. They didn't get 420 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: an answer, but apparently during his weekly press conference, all 421 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: he said was, I've had a good number of discussions 422 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: with Senator Feinstein. But I'm keeping them to myself because 423 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: they made no Well, he's in an impossible position. What's 424 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: he gonna do? Uh? Yeah, you know. And again it's 425 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: the deference. As long as he's been there, she's been 426 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: there longer, and and and they really treat each other 427 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: with kid gloves, even if it's the opposing party. She's 428 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: not up for reelection till twenty twenty four, so there 429 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: is at least two more years of this unless she 430 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: steps down. Yeah, nope, nope, sign man. Her husband just died. Yeah, 431 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: that's right. That was That was her third husband too. 432 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: Both of the interview focused on gun control, obviously because 433 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: of all that's been going on. But um, well she 434 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: did give answers. It's not like everything she said made 435 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: no sense to extreme But and the thing is she 436 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: she gets She gets a lot of criticism from the 437 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: left wing woke wackos because she's a negotiator. She looks 438 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: too for consensus. She thinks the best way to pass 439 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: law that last a long time and get everybody's respect 440 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: is to get all the different sides to buy in. 441 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: And if that takes more years to get there, then 442 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: it takes more years to get there. But we have 443 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: a system, we have a process. We respect the system. 444 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: You don't always get what you want as fast as 445 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: what you want, but if you look over a fifty 446 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: year period, things do move in a direction and change 447 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: does happen. And she really respects the orderliness of the 448 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: Senate and she really doesn't have any use for, you know, 449 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: the bomb throwing progressive whackos. Yeah, she did tell the 450 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: interviewer with the cut that we're going to get some 451 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: sort of gun reform done. The reporter then wrote, but 452 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: Feinstein seemed unable to grasp the rigid partisan dynamics that 453 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: ou dictate debates about guns in Washington. But she just said, 454 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: I think we're going to get it done. Right. Possibly, 455 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: there are four US senators. I think it's two Democrats 456 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: and two Republicans that are working on some legislation that 457 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: will not include any gun bands at least that's what 458 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: they're saying. But it'll probably be background checks and the 459 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: red flag laws stuff. It's probably what they're Yeah, it 460 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: may not pass anyway, but it's going to be it's 461 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: going to be at the margins, or it's going to 462 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: be something really obvious. I mean, to me, I don't 463 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: know what, when they say red flag laws, that's an 464 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: all purpose It's like what's in the details, because the 465 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: recent shooters would have passed red flag laws had they 466 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: been in effect. These people did not have police records, 467 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: they did not have mental health records. See, that's the thing. 468 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: They have writings. Like if they started coming up with 469 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: some kind of system to scour all these weird channels 470 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: like four Chan and discord and telegram, you know, where 471 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: everybody's writing their manifestos and gathering together with the other 472 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: would be killers. Then you might have something but saying okay, 473 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: if anybody shows up in this database or that database, 474 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: well that wouldn't stop a lot of these guys. They're 475 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: not in a database. They're only eighteen years old. They've 476 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: kept in their room. They've never actually got in trouble 477 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, not legal, official trouble. We 478 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: got more coming up, John and Kent can't find well, 479 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: there are really very few people left watching the news 480 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: outlets CNN. But there's a couple of stories worth mentioning. 481 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: As you know, the former longtime boss of CNN was 482 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: ousted recently. He's been replaced by a man by the 483 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: name of Chris Licht and the insiders are telling news 484 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: outlets like Axios some stories. The first one that I 485 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: saw last week, which is small, but it kind of 486 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: mattered to me. They're going to finally take down this 487 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: stupid breaking news banner that they put up all freaking 488 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: day long about any dopey story. Honestly, if you look 489 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: up at the TV often you'll see breaking news and 490 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: you're really you're like, well, that was like four hours ago, 491 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: I was at breaking News. So he's decided it's overused 492 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: and silly. You know what else? I saw them replace 493 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: it with happening Now, Okay, that's different. So smart atlex 494 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: they're decided, let's just come up with something. Though I 495 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: also get people. Somebody had a screenshot of one of 496 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: their breaking news graphics and it was about about an 497 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: anniversary story, like breaking news today is the tenth anniversary 498 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: of blank. It's like, no, let it's not breaking news. 499 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: It's a ten year old story. But that's how often 500 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: they'd use it. But the other thing apparently he's doing, 501 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: he's telling some of the reporters and the anchors that 502 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: they have to tone down their partisanship, which is also 503 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: kind of interesting, but I guess this guy took a 504 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: look at things and said, this ain't working. We have 505 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: all these ideologically driven to hosts and reporters like that 506 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: dopey Jim Acosta on the Era, what's the point of that? 507 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: And I think we're seeing it flipped this time. The 508 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: way they spent all their time bashing Trump, they're giving 509 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: Biden a pass. And maybe he's also seeing that as 510 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: a problem because right now Pole Show Biden's approval numbers 511 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: are crappy. They're Jenny carterli and the country's angry about 512 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: the economy. It's in the best interests of a major 513 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: news network to care about the audience and find out 514 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: what's going wrong inside the Biden White House. Why have 515 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: they made so many bad decisions? Why is the economy 516 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: in such terrible shape? And all the other things that 517 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: people are upset about that there's news inside there, and 518 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: instead everything is covered up and papered over and sprayed 519 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: with fabrieze. And they're not they're not giving us. Why 520 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: are they doing what they're doing. I don't know, so 521 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: I don't even watch these guys. But there's some nutball 522 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: named Brian, Brian Stelter. I guess he does a real 523 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: woke liberal show. Yeah, it's everybody watches. It's on Sunday mornings, 524 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: and it's it's about the media, and it's mostly that 525 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: the Fox sucks. I never watch, but he's got literally 526 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: only about eighty thousand people watching. But you know, all 527 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,239 Speaker 1: all the all the all the right wing guys hate him, 528 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: so that's why he gets a lot of press. But 529 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: absently the speculation was about him and Jim Acosta, who 530 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: just you know, spent all his time trying to arrass Trump. 531 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: And now I still think, does that be kind of 532 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: thing that we're not? He just says, I want to 533 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: make this network as close as possible to being you know, 534 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: nonpartisan as I can. That's the niche because Fox has 535 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: the right, MSNBC has the left, and their ratings dwarfs CNN. 536 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: CNN was this week tea nothing. You know, it just 537 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: annoyed everybody. Somehow they annoyed everybody, so their audience went 538 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: down to almost zero. It's better the wide open lane is. 539 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: Shouldn't there be a national news network that just tells 540 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: you the news and the commentary should be stuff that 541 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: analyzes the detail and explains things to make it easier 542 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: to understand. Right, that's what the terry should be like. 543 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: Stop selling me your stupid ideology. Tell me why this 544 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: is going on, not why it's going on. Something we 545 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: learned from this though, I think is also true with 546 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, AM talk radio. That shows that the lean 547 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, conservative right wing tend to keep an audience 548 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: and keep it for years. But the ones I remember 549 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: they tried to launch some left wing talk networks. They failed, 550 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: and the same thing may be going on with TV. Obviously, 551 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: Fox News is still doing quite well, and it's it's 552 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: part of san I mean, let's not kill ourselves. But 553 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: CNN only had a little jump because of the anger 554 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: over Trump. But as soon as Trump left office gone now, 555 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: they were much better when they just did the news 556 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: and that that they have to live with that. That's 557 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: the best you're gonna do, all right. When we come back, 558 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: we got the execution desk for you. It's a story 559 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,239 Speaker 1: that you might be interested in. There may be an 560 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: execution tomorrow in Arizona, at least it's looking that way. 561 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: A man by the name of Frank Atwood is going 562 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: to be executed for killing an eight year old girl 563 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: back in the nineteen eighties. And our guest was a 564 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: neighbor of this killer, Frank Atwood. Barry is coming on next. 565 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: He said. I was ten years old and I testified 566 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: as a witness in court against Frank Atwood from molesting 567 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: a four year old neighbor girl. And if he had 568 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: not been stopped, he would have been the next big 569 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: serial killer. And more coming up. John and Ken show. 570 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: It's never been more important to diversify your financial portfolio. Well, 571 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: that's right. The SNP is down twenty percent from the 572 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: last year and this year looks even worse.
