And we've had 7 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: John many times because he's been involved in a lot 8 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: of high profile cases that he successfully prosecuted. And we're 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: going to talk about the race in just a moment. 10 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: One thing I wanted to ask you about because found 11 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: out that he had some knowledge on this and this 12 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: is a story we were going to cover anyway. 13 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 3: Today. 14 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: There's this Beverly Hills mansion. It's worth four and a 15 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: half million dollars on Beverly Grove and it's been taken 16 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: over by criminal squatters who are renting out the place, 17 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: getting thirty thousand a month renting rooms and hosting huge parties. 18 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: And the property was seized from a doctor named Youner 19 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: alway Dot and he's on the lamb. He's accused of 20 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: hiring a hit woman to kill his model girlfriend, and 21 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: nobody wants to do anything to get the squatters out, 22 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: and they're creating mayhem in the neighborhood. 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: People were told squatters have rights. 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: Uh, Gascon's involved because he wants to get restitution for 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: some of the victims of the doctor. 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: What do you know about this? 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 4: So I know that the only person who seems to 28 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 4: be okay with these squatters in this home is George Gascon. 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 4: They've reached out to him and they've asked for help. 30 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 4: He's indicated that squatters do have rights. Clearly, you have 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 4: a district attorney. He doesn't know what his job is. 32 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 3: Wait, do squatters have right? No? 33 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: Okay, I just wanted to know in case I come 34 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: home and find, you know, eight guys in the living room. 35 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 3: It's like, no, you don't have rights. In Los Angeles. 36 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 4: Squatters cannot take over your home and start, you know, 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 4: selling rooms out for rent and doing parties in the neighborhood. 38 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 4: That's not legal unless it's George Gascon. 39 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: Well, jeez, he won't even don't even help out a 40 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: squatter situation here. 41 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 4: And what people don't realize is the DA's office has 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 4: a code enforcement unit. We have district attorney investigators. 43 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: He's got jurisdiction. He can do something if he wanted. 44 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: We have district attorney investigators. Who worked for this code 45 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 4: enforcement unit. And I know about this because I've worked 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 4: in Antelope Valley for a long period of time and 47 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: we have a lot of issues up there with people 48 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 4: taking over homes and selling drugs, and so the code 49 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 4: enforcement unit can go out there and see if somebody 50 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 4: is trespassing, if somebody is operating this home or business 51 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 4: with a license, if there's a fire hazard there, if 52 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 4: people are committing theft of utilities. You can go out 53 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 4: there and investigate those things. We have a unit that 54 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: does that. So clearly George Gascon doesn't understand the job 55 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 4: of a district attorney and doesn't even understand what our 56 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 4: office is about and what type of units we have 57 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: to be able to help these individuals. There's nobody there 58 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: who wants this happening, and the neighbors are fed up 59 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 4: with it, the listing agent is fed up with it. 60 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 5: And no. 61 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: Squatters do not have rights to commit crimes without being 62 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 4: held accountable for their crimes. 63 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: You know, I have never seen a situation where nearly 64 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: every day there's a new story which leads to George 65 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: Gascon must go. I mean, every day there's some kind 66 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: of material that bolsters the idea that Gascone needs to 67 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: be removed from office. So talk about your campaign. I 68 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: think you're one of the leading candidates here, and I 69 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: think you have a lot of name recognition from your 70 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: work in some high profile cases. Has the campaign seem 71 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: to you on a day to day basis. 72 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: So we are the leading candidate right now. We're the 73 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: leading challenger to take over and beat George Gascon. Many 74 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: people know me from fighting for children. Many people know 75 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 4: me from fighting for justice for Gabriel Fernandez, Yes, who 76 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 4: is tortured and murdered by his mom and her boyfriend. 77 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: Most recently, I had a trial in twenty thirteen where 78 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: we got justice for ten year old Anthony Avlos, who 79 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 4: is also tortured by his mom and her boyfriend. And 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: so people out in the know John that they could 81 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: trust me. They know that I am a good DA 82 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 4: and a good prosecutor. They also know that I've been 83 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: the first Deputy District Attorney to be fighting George Gascon 84 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 4: from day one, and I've been fighting him for the 85 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: last three years. And so I think they see with 86 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: me somebody who they can feel has hope that we're 87 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 4: going to change Los Angeles, somebody who is going to 88 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 4: make sure that you're safe in your homes, you're safe 89 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: walking to the store, you're safe taking your kids to 90 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: the supermarketer to go shopping. And I think that's what 91 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: Angelina's want. They want a DA who's actually going to 92 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: prosecute crime and hold people accountable, and also a DA 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 4: who make sure that people are safe. 94 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 95 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we just did a story last half hour. 96 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard about a woman who's 97 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: having lunch at Whole Foods, and so a woman came 98 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: up and stole her French bulldog right from under her table, 99 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: took it into a car. She tries to get into 100 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: the car, and there's three women and a guy inside. 101 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: This woman the victim jumps on the hood of the 102 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: car and they take off with her sprawled on the hood. 103 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: And it just seemed to me encapsulate how people are 104 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: living these days, where one minute you're eating lunch sitting 105 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: with your dog. The next minute you're flying down the 106 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: road downtown LA, clinging onto the windshield wipers for dear life. 107 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: Because there's so many crazy people out there now, and 108 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: there's a sense of lawless lawlessness in the air that 109 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: everybody I know feels. I mean, it's palpable that you 110 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: walk outside and it's like, oh, I just don't feel 111 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: right here. 112 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 4: So we've had an experiment with George Gascon and it's 113 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 4: completely failed, and people do feel unsafe, and we do 114 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: have a lawless community in society right now. I'm a 115 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 4: dog owner. I have a dog. I have a rescued 116 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 4: German shepherd. 117 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: His name's Justice. 118 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 4: It would be pretty hard to kidnap him because he's 119 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 4: about one hundred and five pounds and so he would 120 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 4: probably bite somebody if they tried to do that. But 121 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 4: if somebody did steal my dog, yeah, my Doug's part 122 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 4: of my family, and so I'd probably do the exact 123 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: same thing. 124 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 3: And that's the problem. 125 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: You can't even walk your dogs in this neighborhood anymore 126 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 4: because you're afraid someone's going to kidnap or steal your dog, 127 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: and so it's a real dangerous situation here in la 128 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 4: I think people have had enough. I think people have 129 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: really had enough of George Gascon, and I hope people 130 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: realize the election is coming up. It's February the fifth, 131 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: The ballots are going to be sent out, and so 132 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 4: very soon people are going to receive ballots. 133 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the ballots. Sorry, because we're primarily a 134 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: mail in state. 135 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: Now. 136 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you can go on election day and vote 137 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: at a machine, but for the most part, people are 138 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: mailing it in. The ballots are going to be mailed 139 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: out on Monday. 140 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: They're going to be mailed down on Monday, so they. 141 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: Show up in people's mailboxes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and then 142 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: what they fill it out at home and when can 143 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: they deposit the vote. 144 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 4: So my suggestion is is that when people get these 145 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 4: absentee ballots, one thing I think you need to do 146 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: is vote early. I think it's important to vote early. 147 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: Number two, it's important to track your ballot, which you 148 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: can do when you fill it out. You could track 149 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: your ballot make sure you know it gets to the 150 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 4: right place the right time. Also, you should vote early 151 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 4: if anybody's afraid that someone's going to use their ballot 152 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 4: and vote for your name later on. At least if 153 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 4: you vote early, you make sure that you take care 154 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: of that issue. The last two weeks of the election. 155 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: You could not even you don't even need to send 156 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 4: it in the mail. You can go and actually drop 157 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: it off at a certain location if you're afraid about 158 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: the mail and so also I don't suggest people wait 159 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 4: to the last day, because we saw in twenty twenty 160 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 4: two when so many people waited to the last day 161 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 4: and we had that rainstorm and a lot of people 162 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: did not vote. 163 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: This election is. 164 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 4: One of the most important elections coming up right now, 165 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 4: and it affects everybody's safety.

He's also running 183 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: for office. He also has a family. And are you 184 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: getting to meet a lot of people? I know you 185 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: do these questions and answer and debate situations a lot 186 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: of media coverage, but do you do you get to 187 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: interact with a lot of regular voter Regular people were 188 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: turned during his mic. 189 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 3: On that might help. 190 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 4: We were in Santa Monica yesterday. We talked to a 191 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: good group of people. The day before that, we were 192 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 4: in Culver City. We're going to be an Antelope Valley 193 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 4: tomorrow night. And so we're out and about between Claremont 194 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 4: Lancaster pretty much every day. John meeting people all over 195 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: Los Angeles. 196 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: And what's the reception you get from people? Because you know, 197 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: a lot of candidates wander around. A lot of people 198 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: are indifferent, they're apatheticist what's going on, or they might 199 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: have an ideology that makes them hostile. What are you 200 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: getting once you identify yourself and imagine some people recognize 201 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: your name. 202 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: So I could tell you this. People have had enough 203 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 4: of George Gascon. So many people I come into contact 204 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: with or have either been victimized or know somebody who's 205 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: been victimized and they want to change. Many people know 206 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 4: me from the gaber Fernandez case. A lot of people 207 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 4: also know me from fighting George Gascon all these years, 208 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 4: and so we do get a really good reception almost 209 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 4: everywhere we go. But I can tell you most of 210 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 4: the people really just want George Gascon out. They don't 211 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 4: want them as district attorney. They want their Los Angeles back. 212 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 4: They want a Los Angeles where they can feel safe 213 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: to walk around the neighborhood and no one's going to 214 00:09:58,880 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: attack them or hurt them. 215 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: Do you run into any gascone fans? Rarely? 216 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: I've come in contact with a few, But the few 217 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 4: that I have come into contact with after I usually 218 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: talk to them, especially when I talk to them about 219 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 4: the cases that I handle and the fact that George 220 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 4: Gascon even ordered me to remove intentional murder by torture 221 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 4: on the case of like Anthony Avolos, in cases where 222 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 4: other children were tortured and murdered. You usually then win 223 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 4: them over and they're like, you're right that that isn't 224 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: you know, a good policy. I don't agree with that, 225 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 4: and I can't believe George Gascon did something like that. 226 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the blanket policies he had against enhancements, even 227 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: in some of the most brutal cases. You know about 228 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: so many of these, and we've done so many on 229 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: the air, and it makes your stomach sick, you know. 230 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: And I mean we've gone we've we've gone through a 231 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: lot of bad news here on the show, and you 232 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: do end up getting near to it to a certain extent. 233 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 3: But but his stuff is makes you, you know, clutch. 234 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: Your stomach like this is this is a horrific disk 235 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: terrible crime, and Gascon is letting him off in some way. 236 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: It's shocking. 237 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: So cases where we had people using guns to kill people, 238 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: he didn't allow us to charge the gun allegation. Cases 239 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: where we had people breaking a child's arm or fracturing 240 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 4: a baby's rib, he didn't allow us to charge the 241 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: great bodily injury allegation. 242 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: Violent crimes against helpless children, and he won't file the charges. 243 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 4: I mean, he even got rid of hate crimes when 244 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 4: he first took office, and right now we have a 245 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 4: really major hate crime issue here in Los Angeles County. 246 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 4: So he is a very heartless person. He does not 247 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 4: care about people in this community. He does not care 248 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 4: about the safety of children or families. He definitely doesn't 249 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 4: care about the safety of law enforcement officers. We have 250 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 4: had many of them who have been killed in Almonte, 251 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 4: also in Palmdale, and so he is a very heartless 252 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 4: individual who does not care about the safety of this community, 253 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 4: and we just need to get him out. 254 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: It's so strange to have a character like him as 255 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: a district attorney, like I've never experienced that before. You know, 256 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: you could have district attorneys of varying degrees of competence, 257 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: but to have somebody who sides almost every time with 258 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: the criminal, always gives them a break, never has any compassion, 259 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: never does the rational thing for the victim or the 260 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: victim's family. I've just never seen that in my life. 261 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: In my lifetime, I've never seen a district attorney approach 262 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 4: the mother of a murdered child and call her uneducated 263 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 4: and tell her to shut up. George Gascon did that, 264 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 4: and it was on video. So people need to realize 265 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 4: he approached the mother of a murdered child and told 266 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 4: her she was uneducated and told her to shut up. 267 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 4: So I don't want to hear anybody voting for George 268 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 4: Gascon as district attorney. He doesn't care about you, he 269 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 4: doesn't care about your children, he doesn't care about your families, 270 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 4: and he definitely doesn't care about victims or survivors or 271 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 4: surviving family members. 272 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's reiterate. The ballots are going to be 273 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: mailed out on Monday. You can go on election day, 274 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: which is March five, than vote in person, but most 275 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: people these days in California are voting through the mail, 276 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: and they should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday, and you can 277 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: vote and mail it back end right away, or you 278 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: could wait till the final two weeks and enter it 279 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: one of those drop boxes.

It's become almost a daily feature, Joe Biden 315 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: losing his place. 316 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 5: Let's say, if you say out loud, Joe Biden has dementia. 317 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: Especially people in media and people in politics, they just 318 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: clutch their pros. 319 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: Like, oh no, that can't be. How could you say 320 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: something like that. I know this firsthand. Well. 321 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: He was speaking at a Democratic Party dinner in South 322 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: Carolina on Saturday. He was talking about Trump and the 323 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: state of the US economy. Here is what Biden had 324 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: to say. 325 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 7: In recent weeks, we're starting to see real evidence that 326 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 7: American consumers are facing real confidence in their economy. We're building. 327 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 7: Let me tell you who else is noticing that. Donald Trump? 328 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 7: Did you see what he recently said about the West? 329 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 8: He wants to see the economy crash this year, sitting president. 330 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 7: The same my faith blessed me Father, for I mean, 331 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 7: come on, mann't. 332 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: He couldn't even finish the saying he couldn't even finish 333 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: the little prayer bless me Father, for I have sinned. 334 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: So there's so much in there, but the key line 335 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: is he calls Trump a sitting president and doesn't even notice, 336 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: doesn't catch himself. He said, you just see recently what 337 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: he said about he wants to see the economy crash 338 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: this year. I tell you, trying to follow him, trying 339 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: to even read the transcript is impossible. If you notice 340 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: that he was slurring his world's words, trailing off, you 341 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: couldn't understand it. It was gibberish. It was like a 342 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: separate language. Play the whole thing again. I'll point out 343 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: the start at the top. 344 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 7: In recent ways were starting to say, real evidence that 345 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 7: American consumers are facing real confidence in their economy. We're building. 346 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 7: Let me tell you who else is noticing that? Yeah, 347 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 7: Donald Trump, did you see what he recently said about. 348 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 8: The wes he wants to see the economy crash this year? 349 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 8: Sending president for the same my faith blessed me father 350 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 8: for I mean, come on, man. 351 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: If he was going to say blessed me father, for 352 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: I have sinned, that is really makes no sense in 353 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: the context of his his rant there. He also said, 354 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: and I only realized this when I was looking at 355 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: the transcript, we're starting to see real evidence that American 356 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: consumers are facing real confidence. Facing real confidence, you say, 357 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: facing you know, something negative, something unpleasant, use that term. 358 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: And then when he really runs out of steem, it's, oh, 359 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: come on man, But no, you can't say out loud 360 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: that he's got dementia or Alzheimer's because it's just offensive. 361 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 3: All right, now, onto this terrible story. 362 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: And actually I didn't even notice when I saw this 363 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: story earlier today and I wanted to talk about it, 364 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: that John had Tommy is quoted in this story as 365 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: well by Fox News. This is true. What's about to happen. 366 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: You should be aware of it. But you know, occasionally 367 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: we can get a criminal who's about to be paroled, 368 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: we can get them turned around and sent back to 369 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: prison if public outcry is enough. Newsom has occasionally blocked 370 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: a parole because people are too angry and the case 371 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: is too hideous. Here is a man named Patrick Goodman. 372 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: He's forty nine years old, and he's a California resident 373 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: who beat his girlfriend's three year old son. 374 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 3: So badly. 375 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, he he killed the kid. The 376 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: poor child suffered dozens of traumatic injuries, broken bones, his 377 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: organs were pulverized, but he is this close to walking 378 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: free if Newsom doesn't reverse the parole. Patrick Goodman is 379 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: the killer's name. The boy Elijah Sanderson. He was the 380 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: girlfriend's son, and the medical examiner said that some of 381 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: the injuries that the boy suffered were caused by Goodman 382 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: swinging the child by his wrist into a wall repeatedly. 383 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that doing that to a little three 384 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: year old boy. This is very similar to the cases 385 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: that John hit Tommy prosecuted, which is why he was questioning. 386 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: He was interviewed for this. A parole hearing was in December. 387 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: The DA of San Francisco, Brooke Jenkins came out against 388 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: the parole. That's how crazy this idea is, even the 389 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: DA of San Francisco. Of course, she's more moderate and 390 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: saying than the old one chess Abodeine, according to Goodman, Okay. 391 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,239 Speaker 1: Goodman testified to the Parole Board commissioners December fourteenth, and 392 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: he told them, I hope one day that I will 393 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: be able to show Elijah's family, society, and everyone who 394 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: got caught in the ripple effect of my actions that 395 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: I'm no longer the monster that I used to be. 396 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: He's only forty nine years old, so you could in 397 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: in Gavin Newsom's California, you can take a child, swing 398 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: them repeatedly into the wall, breaking many of his bones, 399 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: pulverizing his organs got Two commissioners decided to give him freedom, 400 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: Michelle Minor and Dane Blake. It must have been a 401 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 1: three commissioner panel. Michelle Minor and Dane Blake decided to 402 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: give Patrick Goodman a chance at freedom. Listen to what 403 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: Michelle Minor says, here's a woman. We find that mister 404 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: Goodman does not currently pose an unreasonable risk to public 405 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: safety and is therefore suitable for parole. They only deliberated 406 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes, so they knew they were going to 407 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: let him go. The thing is, in May of twenty 408 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: twenty two, Goodman was denied parole for at least three years, 409 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: but the last month the board reversed the decision and 410 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: granted him parole. 411 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 3: Now it's up to Newsom. 412 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: Newsom can send him back to prison if he wants, 413 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: and Newsom, if you'd contact him and tell him about this, 414 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: he knows about this case, but be strong. 415 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 3: And say this can't happen. 416 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: John hit Tommy's quoted in this story called the decision horrific, 417 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: and he says people who victimize defenseless children are the 418 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: worst criminals. If you murder a child, someone who's most 419 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: vulnerable in our society, you are a danger to our 420 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: entire community. See when you have that kind of violent 421 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: brain because maybe this was twenty four, twenty three years ago, 422 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: but he was an adult, he was twenty six years old. 423 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: When you have that kind of violence wired into your 424 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: brain that never goes away, never goes away. Something about 425 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: that kid got Patrick Goodman so angry that he grabbed 426 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: him by the wrist and repeatedly whacked him against the wall. 427 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: If you could see what he did, if there was 428 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: video of this, everybody would be storming Sacramento right now. 429 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: And Chase Newsom out of his office and knew some 430 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: should be out of his office if he dares release 431 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: this guy. So now we have to have Patrick Goodman 432 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: living amongst us. Not to mention that Elijah's family is 433 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: going to have to deal with this monster. And of 434 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: course he's going to say, I just want to show 435 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: on not the monster. I don't care what you want 436 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: to do, I don't care what you think you are 437 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: or aren't you do you brutally murder a child like 438 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: that three years old? That's it for life and it 439 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: should have been life. I don't know what happened to 440 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: the prosecution. Twenty five to life is that's kind of 441 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: some kind of compromise, some kind of plea deal, because 442 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: back in two thousand, nobody thought anybody would ever in 443 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: the right mind let. 444 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 3: A guy like this out anyway. 445 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: Newsom has the call on this, and it's it's where 446 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: you go online and you can get Gavin Newsom's contact information, 447 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: emails and phone numbers and all the rest of it. 448 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: But I mean that that is really really outrageous.

Let me see one 546 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: more thing. You probably didn't know this, but California banned 547 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: something else at the first of the year, the first 548 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: state to ban gas powered garden equipment. Yeah, leaf flowers 549 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: and because they want to cool the planet, right, So 550 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: your gardeners now are forced someday to buy an electric 551 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: powered leaf blower, a lawnmower, a chainsaw. Oh my god, 552 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: you can't have a gas powered anything. And a lot 553 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: of landscapers in garden stores stocked up on the tools 554 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: when it was announced in twenty twenty one, and because 555 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: they all knew this was coming. However, you can buy 556 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: the banded equipment in another state and then bring it 557 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: back to California. The battery operated equipment is less powerful. 558 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: Electric equipment does not work as well as the gas 559 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: powered equipment. Well, of course they're pushing, just like for 560 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: the electric vehicles.

But the 565 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: verdict is in coast to coast, and the car companies 566 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: are now pulling back dramatically on production and their stock 567 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: prices are tanking. The rental companies are giving up their 568 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: electric fleets. Trust me, it's been decided in the marketplace. Now, 569 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: gavenue some to climb down off that branch, or somebody's 570 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: got to saw him off the branch, because there's no 571 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: way this electric vehicle mandate can go through.

The large 573 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: ones can handle the cost, the small ones will be 574 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: hit harder, but again. They say the electric landscaping tools 575 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: just are not that powerful, so they're gonna Yeah, you 576 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: can still you can still use the gas powered one. 577 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: You just can't.
