1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the radio from one

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: to four. Then after four o'clock it's John and Ken

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: on demand and that's on the app and it's today's show.

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 2: You can hear it all over again.

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: You know, anybody but George Gascone as La County District

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 3: Attorney would have to be an improvement. We are now

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 3: looking at three years since this man took over. It

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 3: was December of twenty twenty. He immediately went with his

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 3: directives which pretty much caused a shambles in the Los

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: Angeles County criminal justice system. So he's got quite a

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: few challengers. In fact, most of them debated him the

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: other night in Santa Monica and at Santa Monica Democratic Club,

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: and we heard from one of them who wanted to

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: come on the show and give you her take on

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: why she should be the next DA. Her name is

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: Judge Deborah Archuletta and her website is Judge DA for DAT.

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: It's because it's her initials DA. So let's get her

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: on the show and talk about our candidacy.

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Judge archie Letta welcome. How are you.

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: I'm great, thank you for having me Ken, congratulations on

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 4: your retirement, and I'm happy to be with you folks

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 4: today because the question is are we safer now than

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 4: we were three years ago?

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: And they're trying to tell us that we believe Yeah,

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: they're trying to tell us that things have not. Really

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: the crime is not on the rise, or are not

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 3: the safety issues?

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: Well, I think Mark Twain Lence had a favorite quote

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: about lies and damn lives. And then there are statistics.

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 4: Once again, when you go back, no one in La

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: County feels safer now under the lack of leadership due

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: to the current DA than we did three years ago.

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: So you know, there might be a slight dip in

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: violent crime, but mash and grab robberies are up, property

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: theft is up, carthf is, I hate crimes are up.

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: I really don't see a lot of a reduction in

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: the violent and serious crime category. Despite the protestations by

40
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: the current District Attorney.

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: He's made it clear. Well maybe not so much when

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: he was running because people got fooled, but since he's

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: been DA, he thinks that it is his mission to

44
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: make sure we don't incarcerate as many people. He thinks

45
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: that's a failure to imprison people.

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: Well, the sad reality is that many of the communities

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 4: they're most victimized are the working class communities, the communities

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 4: of color. And so I certainly agree that we don't

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: want to go back to the days of mause incarceration.

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: But now what we have are the days of mass victimization.

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: So there can be a balance between maus incarceration and mass,

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: massive victimization. But clearly his policies and the revocation of

53
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: the policy directives, with his blanket policies that he has

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: imposed on all of us here in La County are

55
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 4: not working. Truly, Are we safer now than we were

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: three years ago? And I believe the resounding answer is

57
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: we are not.

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: One thing you've discussed, I don't know if it was

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: in the interview that you did with California Globe or

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: at one of the one of the public debates is

61
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: about the large homeless encampments being run by criminal syndicates.

62
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 2: Very little attention has been paid to this. Can you

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: can you expand on that? What exactly are you talking

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: about here?

65
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: Well, frankly, the gangs are running the drug trade in

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: the homeless encampments, and there is a lot of human

67
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: trafficking that is going on within those encampments. There's violent crimes,

68
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 4: and yes, there is organized crime that is running that

69
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 4: street level crime within the homeless encampments. So that is

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: what I'm referring to when when I made that point,

71
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: that is not a point that's discussed because, as you know,

72
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: the current administration just looks the other way and doesn't

73
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: take into account the predatory nature and frankly, these gangs

74
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: are preying upon many of our most vulnerable citizens that

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: have resorted to living on the streets.

76
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: One of the other issues that you talked about here

77
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: is his weird hypocritical stances on guns, where he's a

78
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: major gun control advocate, but at the same time he

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: does not want to impose gun enhancements on criminals who've

80
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: committed crimes using guns.

81
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sure you guys have been on the air

82
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: long enough to remember the slogan use a gun, go

83
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: to jail. And that's precisely what's going to happen when

84
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: I'm elected, because we are not under this current administration

85
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: filing the weapons enhancements, be it for guns or for

86
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: knives or frankly many other enhancements, strike enhancements out on

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 4: bail allegations, great bodily injury enhancements are being filed pursuant

88
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: to his blanket policies, and it is hypocritical. You know,

89
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: he's very tough on anti gun stands, but yet when

90
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: he has an opportunity, when it suspect is charged with

91
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 4: a serious or violent felony and the use of a gun,

92
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 4: he refuses to prosecute that suspect to the fullest extent

93
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: of the law. And we certainly saw that with his

94
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 4: decision to go for an l WOP sentence for the

95
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: potential murder of Deputy Clink. He does not like enhancements,

96
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: He doesn't like strikes. He doesn't like to hold people

97
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: accountable for the crimes that they commit. However, I have

98
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: a totally different view. I am a judge. I follow

99
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: the law, the law or in the penal code. For

100
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 4: a reason, he chooses for ideological reasons, not to impose

101
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: the laws that are on the books.

102
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: But you know, his ideology doesn't even make any sense.

103
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: Why would you want gun control but not enforced gun

104
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: enhancements from those who are committing felonies' I don't understand,

105
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: there's like no consistency. These views seem to be random.

106
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: Same thing. He's worried about too many young black men

107
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: getting put into prison, but the victims of a lot

108
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: of the crime are black people in their neighborhoods. So

109
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: I don't I don't understand what he's who he's trying

110
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: to help here. The people he claims to be helping

111
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: are the people that he want to punish.

112
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: All the categories are upside down.

113
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 4: Well, it seems to me that he's more sympathetic to

114
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: the criminals. And we've heard many times on your show

115
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 4: how a certain classes of individuals are very much in

116
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: mister Gascon's camp, and yet the victims have been kicked

117
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: to the curbs, even police officers that have been murdered,

118
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: or we have violent crime victims all over the County

119
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: of Los Angeles, and you really don't see him stepping

120
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 4: up and advocating for the victims. He has stopped sending

121
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: deputy district attorneys to parole board hearings, for example, And

122
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 4: that's something that when I'm elected, I will re institute

123
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: immediately because I myself personally have gone to over one

124
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty parole Board hearings. I heard that woman

125
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: on your show yesterday that was a Riverside County case.

126
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: But I can guarantee you that under the current administration,

127
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: a deputy District attorney for La County, had that woman

128
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: been a victim in La County, would not have had

129
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: da representation at the Parle Board hearings. You're as an issue.

130
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: Your family court judge, how has Gascon's policies spilled over

131
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: into your courtroom.

132
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: Well, it's a dependency court. It's the children that are born,

133
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: for example, at the time of their birth with Sentinel

134
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 4: and methymphetamine in their system. Then it has long term

135
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: consequences because these children are in the system essentially at

136
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: the time of birth all the way through to eighteen

137
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: twenty one, twenty five and beyond. What is happening is

138
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: with the decriminalization of the personal use of serious drugs

139
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: and the fact that the drug dealers are not being

140
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: punished in any way. Drug use is leading to rampant

141
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: addiction issues, and that is leading to mental illness, that

142
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: is leading to homelessness. It's a continuum. He had these

143
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: policies in San Francisco. We see how that has worked out.

144
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: Now the same thing's happening here in Los Angeles, and

145
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: there is a continuum. The drugs that are on the

146
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: street today are not like those drugs that were on

147
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: the street in the eighties. It used to be sadly

148
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: people have substance abuse disorders. They went to drug treatment

149
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: programs and they could work to overcome their addiction, and

150
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 4: many many have. The drugs today are formulated much differently,

151
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 4: They're much more potent, and frankly, the current DA seems

152
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: to just look the other way. Well, he doesn't understand

153
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: the long term repercussions, especially in dependency court. We have

154
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: children who are most vulnerable citizens born into this drug addiction.

155
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: We've got domestic violence, We've got homelessness, we have violence

156
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 4: in the home, we have neglect. He doesn't seem to

157
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 4: understand that this drug leads to a myriad of problems

158
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,239
Speaker 4: within the children's homes, the family, and into the community itself.

159
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: Now you're part of the Los Angeles County court system,

160
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: what do you make of the zero bail policy that

161
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: was just enacted last month.

162
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: Well, since I'm the currently sitting judge and I'm on

163
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: an unpaid leave of absence to run for this position,

164
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 4: I'm not really at liberty to discuss that. However, when

165
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 4: I'm elected next November of twenty twenty four, I would

166
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 4: certainly welcome an opportunity to speak to that issue.

167
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: And what do you make of the fourteen thousand backlog

168
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: of cases in Gascone's office? What are they and what's

169
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 3: going on there with that? Is it just because he's

170
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: lost so many employees.

171
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 4: Well, part of it is the brain drain of the

172
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: district attorneys that no longer want to work for him

173
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 4: they have left. But part of it is that this

174
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: reduction in the crimes that he is talking about in

175
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: the crime statistics. I mentioned this in the debate and

176
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: I pointed back to him and I said, yes, because

177
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 4: he has about fourteen thousand cases sitting on his desk.

178
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 4: He's not interested in prosecuting some of the low level

179
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: misdemeanor slash quality of life crimes that have completely infected

180
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 4: many of our local communities. In fact, I've talked to

181
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: many police agencies, many citizens in the communities, small business owners,

182
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 4: everybody is concerned about the quality of life crimes. The

183
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: fact that we don't prosecute the low level misdemeanors, including

184
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 4: being under the influence, public urination, public intoxication, vandalism. This

185
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 4: leads to more and more revolving door, leading to more

186
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 4: serious and violent crimes. Law enforcement is demoralized. They've told

187
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 4: me that, but I've assured them when I'm elected, I

188
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: will bring the case. They bring the cases to the

189
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 4: District Attorney's office, they will be reviewed for filing, and

190
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 4: if it is a prosecutable case, it will be filed.

191
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: In consequences for the crimes that are being committed will

192
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 4: be sought.

193
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: Any inside information as to whether or not he's in

194
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: troubled even finish in the top two next March.

195
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: Well, there's lots of polling, lots of speculation. I don't know.

196
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: I have noticed that there has been a going to

197
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 4: some of the meetings around town. He seems to be

198
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: losing some of his stronghold on the progressive support that

199
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 4: he has had. He's not been getting every single Democratic

200
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 4: club endorsement, even in the progressive clubs he enjoyed four

201
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: years ago.

202
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Are they sick of the crime?

203
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're sick of the crime or

204
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 4: they're sick of his policies. I think what's happening is

205
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: they're sick of crime in their neighborhood. It used to

206
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: be that serious and violent crime occurred sadly in certain

207
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 4: neighborhoods within Los Angeles County, but the crime has become

208
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: so widespread it's like a contagion. It's everywhere. I don't

209
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 4: want to speculate as to why they're doing what they're doing,

210
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 4: but I've been to some of those meetings and I've

211
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 4: witnessed it myself. His grip on the progressive Democratic wing

212
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: of the party seems to be losing its strength.

213
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

214
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: Well, he certainly has damaged their whole philosophy dramatically here

215
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles.

216
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 4: You've damaged all of us.

217
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, but thank you so much.

218
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll have you back on before March definitely.

219
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: If I imagine you have a website, why don't you

220
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: tell us how people can learn more about your campaign?

221
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: Well, it is Judge da for DA dot com. I

222
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: would appreciate a look. I got into the race late.

223
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: I take my responsibilities at the Superior Court and the

224
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: families that I was servicing very seriously, and I had

225
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: to really make sure that there was a path for victory.

226
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: I've just been in the race like I said since

227
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: October the ninth, I'm receiving a lot of support. I'm

228
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: very grateful for that, and I'm very appreciative of the

229
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: opportunity to be on your show today, and I appreciate

230
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: you giving me this time. I am not here for myself,

231
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: as I've stated, I've stepped down from the bench to

232
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 4: step up for the people of Los Angeles County and

233
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: that's why I'm in this race.

234
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: Well, we enjoyed talking with you, and we'll definitely talk

235
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: with you again really soon. Wish you luck and you

236
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: seem quite rational. It's really refreshing to hear somebody clearly

237
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: thank you.

238
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: I appreciate that, and happy Thanksgiving to you and your listeners.

239
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 4: And once again, Judge DA four DA dot com and

240
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: I thank you for this opportunity.

241
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: That's Judge Debora Archiletta, who just was on our show.

242
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 3: She's one of the challengers to LA County District Attorney

243
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: George Gascone. I believe there are eight or nine of

244
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: them who are running against him in next March is primary.

245
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, Johnny ken K I am six

246
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: forty live everywhere the iHeartRadio acts.

247
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

248
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

249
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just got a chance to talk to another

250
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: one of the challengers to La County District Attorney, George Gascone.

251
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Her name is Judge Debra Archiletto.

252
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 3: And yeah, again presenting some common sense.

253
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: Isn't it weird?

254
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: Like I said, anybody because most people that run for

255
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: that office come from the prosecution side. You know, the

256
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: criminals are bad side.

257
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: We haven't had.

258
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: Anybody in this county in that office that's on the

259
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: side of the criminals, not the victims. And the guy

260
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: caused havoc in San Francisco, but he was just, you know,

261
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: one hundreds of miles away, and we'd see a story

262
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: every now and then about him. And of course, again,

263
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: as you mention, co author Prop forty seven, that should

264
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: have disqualified him right from the beginning.

265
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: But it's amazing how much destruction one man has wrought

266
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: on California. Wrote Prop forty seven, which just destroyed the

267
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: ability of the state to prosecute for misdemeanor crimes, which

268
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: we were jailable offenses. You could put somebody away for

269
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: six months, and so all that street crime that happens

270
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: all day every day. Everyone stopped getting arrested for it,

271
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: let alone prospers cut it and sentenced. And then you

272
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: know the thing that we brought up and this, you know,

273
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: this is something you don't know about. It's again, it

274
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: doesn't make the news, but she said, she's a family

275
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: court judge. She has to deal with custody battles, right,

276
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: and she's removed ten babies a week from their mother's

277
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: custody because they're born addicted to meth and fentanyl, which

278
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: means their mothers are taking meth in fentinel. And that's

279
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: the direct result of Gascon not prosecuting the drug dealers

280
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: who are selling these women the meth in fentinel. You

281
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: imagine ten.

282
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Babies a week. I saw that and it's like, that

283
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: can't be. There must be a misprint.

284
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: Now, on the topic of Los Angeles County crime, I

285
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: actually heard a newsreader the other day say, well, there

286
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: are concerns that the flash mobs that were so present

287
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago maybe coming back around. And

288
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: I said, but there's a season for them, and yes,

289
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: because it's now Crystal Holidays coming up, Christmas stores are

290
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: starting to stock their shelves more with more valuable stuff.

291
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: So we may be seeing another round of this. That

292
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: brings us to this story from the weekend. Apparently a

293
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: mob ransacked the Nike store in watts not the first

294
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: time they've done this. Twelve thousand dollars worth of merchandise

295
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: was taken from the store. We have audio from a

296
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 3: witness's cell phone video.

297
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: Of the of the robbers. What are they doing to

298
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: the kid? I don't know.

299
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: I just can't fear.

300
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 4: Ye.

301
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: You can hear the ransacking.

302
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: Something.

303
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: They're grabbing boxes.

304
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: And stuff off the rack, the sound of a smashing bran.

305
00:16:52,040 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: It's a Sunday night, but seventeen suspects arrived at this door.

306
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: Four females, thirteen males, all wearing medical masks or something

307
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 3: covering their faces. They moved through the store undisturbed as

308
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: they just cleared shells filled with shoes and ripped clothing

309
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 3: off the racks, put them into large blue bags, and

310
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: then they made their way outside where there were cars

311
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: to pick them up. Nice an.

312
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: The whole thing is off and over like a minute

313
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: or two.

314
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: Another day in Karen Basss, Los Angeles. Another day in

315
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: George Gascons, Los Angeles, and remember Gascon and the Bassard buddies.

316
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: They share the same political philosophy. They endorsed each other,

317
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: They appeared at each other's rallies, their brother and sister

318
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: when it comes to how they feel the world ought

319
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: to run. And this is the result. So and this

320
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: is in a minority community.

321
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: And the tenth time they believed the same crew as

322
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 3: robbed the same Nike you lis, and now they put

323
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 3: guards outside the store.

324
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: But what can they do. They're not supposed to interfere, right,

325
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: they're not prosecuted. Fourteen thousand cases not prosecuted by Gascony.

326
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: The police are lucky enough to find the help prints.

327
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: The case just sits on a desk.

328
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 2: The stuff happening in front of our eyes, right in

329
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: front of our eyes, fourteen thousand cases.

330
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Nothing's being done.

331
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: It's like yesterday we talked about the schools being closed

332
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: for a year and a half and everybody just sat

333
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: and watched. It's amazing the apathy that has overwhelmed so

334
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: many people. And you know, no revolution. The bad guys

335
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: have all the passion. The bad guys go out there,

336
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: they're ready to play every night. They're ready to do

337
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: another smash and grab and steal. Thousands of dollars worth

338
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: of jewelry or handbags or whatever they can grab off

339
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: the shelves. Everybody else there's no there's no fight anymore.

340
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: There's no energy.

341
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: All right, When do we come back?

342
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

343
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: Another report on America's favorite climate phonies. I've ever heard

344
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 3: the names Al Gore, John Kerry, and Bill Gates. Ah,

345
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 3: we got some good information about just how wealthy they've become. Well,

346
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: they preach to us about the dangers of climate change.

347
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: Johnny Ken kfim's six forty Live Everywhere iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1: I know there's a lot.

360
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,800

364
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: Well, topic we like to return to every now and then.

365
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: A columnist for the Washington Times by the name of

366
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: Rowan Scarborough phrase for what are basically the climate phonies,

367
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: people like Al Gore, John Kerry and Bill Gates who

368
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 3: become very wealthy. And you'll hear the details of that

369
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: in a moment, but he calls it the climate gravy train.

370
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: I like that, the climate gravy train. You know one

371
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: thing I just learned recently. Whatever emphasis that Biden's putting

372
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: on the climate that apparently they did with that bill

373
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: they passed last year, you know who his big advisor

374
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: is on that? Remember Tom Steyer. Oh god, he ran

375
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: for president. He's that lunatic wealthy guy. Yeah, and he

376
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 3: ran for he ran for governor, ran for president president

377
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: and he's this climate fanatic. But he's another one who's

378
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: made a ton of money, is very wealthy and has

379
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: big mansions and blows a lot of energy. All these

380
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 3: guys blow a lot of energy. He told The Wall

381
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: Street Journal in twenty twenty that all the climate crisis

382
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 3: forced him to put his San Francisco mansion on the

383
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: market for eleven million. I'm not so sure what that means,

384
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: except I guess he's thinking the rising waters. You know.

385
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: Oh, I think he just made that up. That's a

386
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: lot of crap he put out for whatever reason he

387
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: wanted to sell it.

388
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: That's nonsense. He lives in nothing but wealthy mansions.

389
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: So in the September Biden left his Delaware home and

390
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: rented Stier's Lake Tahoe mansion.

391
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, say, there you go. All these guys have multiple mansions.

392
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: What else are you gonna do with your money?

393
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: Yes, Styer made big money from hedge funds. That's how

394
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: he made his mansion his fortune. He founded the Next

395
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: Gen Climate Action Committee SUPERPACK and raised forty million dollars

396
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: back in twenty twenty. He donated fifty five million for

397
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: Democrats and liberals in that cycle. But now we go

398
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: back and take a closer look at well, we'll begin

399
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 3: with the climate change chieftain that started all this wow

400
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: long time ago.

401
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: Al Gore.

402
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: Al Gore when he ran for press against George Bush

403
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: and the year two thousand and left as the vice president.

404
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: His net worth was about one point seven million. Today

405
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: reports put his total assets at three hundred million dollars.

406
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: And he sold his cable TV channel in twenty thirteen

407
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: to Cutter, a nation that is a big oil and

408
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: gas producer. So right there, that appears to be a

409
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 3: little photy.

410
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: He made hundreds of millions of dollars in gas and

411
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 2: oil money from Cutter.

412
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: That's that's that's almost entirely there.

413
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: Well, they turned into al Jazeera TV.

414
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, of course.

415
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 3: But I do remember that al Gore had a TV channel.

416
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: I think if the name of it it was called Current.

417
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 3: It was all left wing politics, lefter than left, and

418
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: nobody watched it, I mean nobody. How he got well,

419
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's worth a lot of money just because

420
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: you own that channel space. And then if you put

421
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 3: a profitable programming on then yeah, you can make you

422
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: can make a lot of money back. But man, what

423
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: he put out there was a big bomb. Yeah. And

424
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: it goes on to say that he's got big homes.

425
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: He's got a mansion in Bellmead, Tennessee. He added solar

426
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: panels because and I think we did this story years ago,

427
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: it was determined how much energy that thing was taken away,

428
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 3: because and everything else.

429
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: His house in Bellmead, Tennessee, used more energy than any

430
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: other home in the state.

431
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: State. He was number one for any energy usage.

432
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 2: And he got embarrassed, so he slapped some solar panels

433
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: on the roof to try to miticate to mitigate the embarrassment.

434
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: He has a near nine million dollar mansion in good

435
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: old Monticito here on the west coast, next to Oprah

436
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: and Harry and Meghan. That Harry and Meghan lived there

437
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: and didn't d Ellen degenerously degenerous.

438
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the superstars, all the people worth hundreds of millions,

439
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: if not billions.

440
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: Then there's John Kerry. Turns out that up to a

441
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars in an investment portfolio was heavily invested

442
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 3: in oil companies. And of course we've mentioned this many times.

443
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: He flies around in a family private jet. Of course

444
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: is propelled by fossil fuels.

445
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: All right, so he flies around in a big jet.

446
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,239
Speaker 2: He lives in mansions. But this is really nutty. He

447
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: invests in oil companies. He invests in oil companies because

448
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 2: the world is going to need massive amounts of oil

449
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: in perpetuity. In fact, I just read the other day

450
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: the oil companies are going to be producing more oil

451
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: over the next few years because even more oil is

452
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: needed as the world's population increases and becomes wealthier, and

453
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: they want to make life like in China and India

454
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: even better for their poor and middle classes.

455
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: And you can't do that without burning oil. Period.

456
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: It's also pointed out about Bill Gates and apparently all

457
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: the properties. I mean, anytime you own large properties, they're

458
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: going to have to consume energy somehow. He and his

459
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 3: ex wife forty three million dollar beach house in del

460
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: mar right in the Pacific Ocean. And again the point is, well,

461
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: why would you do that If you're telling us that

462
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: climate change is going to flood all these properties out?

463
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: Why would you buy Because you buy them because it's

464
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: nice to live on the ocean.

465
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: Gets and also it's not going to do that. The

466
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: ocean is not going to flood his property out. He

467
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: also has a one hundred and thirty million dollar waterfront mansion.

468
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: He calls it Xanadu two point zero. It has twenty

469
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: four bathrooms. He spent millions of dollars buying all the

470
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: land around it so that nobody would bother him.

471
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: And as we found out the other day, he's been

472
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 3: buying up all of America's farmland as much as he

473
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: can in order to change the whole meat industry and

474
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 3: dairy industry.

475
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: No, you know what, these guys get so wealthy and

476
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: so bored and so weird. They all what's the next step?

477
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 2: Once you've become the richest guy in the world. You

478
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: want to control the world. You want to be a dictator,

479
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: you want to be a king. That's the only promotion

480
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: you can get. And so they do it through their

481
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: by using their money to try to impose their will

482
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: on other people. Oh, you shouldn't eat me, You shouldn't

483
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: eat me. In fact, I'm going to buy up all

484
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: the farmlands so you can't even there's no room for

485
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: the cows to graze. And you know, I was reading

486
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: this story and I had a flashback to a documentary

487
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: I saw some years ago about how the Russian leaders

488
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: lived back in the communist days in the nineteen seventies,

489
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: and these gorgeous, opulent apartments that they lived in. There

490
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: was some video of how Leonid Brezhnev, who was the

491
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: Russian leader back in the nineteen seventies, and my god,

492
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: what he lived in. And of course down below all

493
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 2: the people were starving. Everybody was living in these tiny

494
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: box apartments. They were getting crap wages for brutal jobs,

495
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: and he was living like royalty. There must be something

496
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: in human nature when you get in charge, and when

497
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 2: you know, when people get money, almost everybody buys nice things.

498
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: Everybody buys a better car and a bigger house, and

499
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: nicer clothes and nicer sheets. Everybody does. And it's that's

500
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: what these guys do. And then it seems the next

501
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: step is how can I control all the riff raft

502
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: down there, these dirty, unwashed people who are fouling my planet?

503
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: And Gates and Gore and Carrie loyal people are fouling

504
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: my planet.

505
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: And they also figured out, you know what, if I

506
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 2: attach myself to this scam, this racket, I can earn

507
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 2: a lot of money. So al Gore has invested in

508
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: a lot of like phony green energy companies because he

509
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: knows that they're going to get government contracts and government subsidies.

510
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: All right, we'll be right back, Johnny Ken KFI AM

511
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: sixty who are alive everywhere the iHeartRadio app.

512
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI

513
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

514
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: We were just just to follow up for a minute

515
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: on we were talking about the wealthy phonies like Al

516
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: Gore and John Kerry and what was the Bill Gates

517
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: and the enormous amount of carbon emissions they blow out

518
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: with their huge mansions and private planes.

519
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: I saw this the other day.

520
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: The world's richest one percent are responsible for the same

521
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: amount of carbon emissions as the bottom sixty six percent.

522
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: Five saying, the richest one percent blow out the same

523
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: carbon emissions as the five billion people who are among

524
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: the poorest two thirds in the world. And they try

525
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: to tell us that, you know, it's us has to

526
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: change our behavior exactly. And Carrie and Gates and Gore

527
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: are part of that richest one percent, and they want

528
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: who are they going to screw it over the middle

529
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: class and the poor people with all these excessive taxes,

530
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: with their stupid electric vehicle idea which costs way too

531
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: much money, is wildly inconvenient. When they're the guys who

532
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: are blowing out all the carbon emissions, there's going to

533
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: be another French revolution coming off with their head off,

534
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: with their heads heads on a stick, but Gates Gord

535
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: carry on sticks.

536
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: On the subject of climate change. NPR has another story

537
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: today that there is a proposal from the United States

538
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: Forest Service. If you can believe this, this is very

539
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: strange that they want to store carbon dioxide under the

540
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: nation's forests. That's a potential climate solution called carbon capture

541
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: and storage. The Bidy administration is backing with billions of

542
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: dollars in tax incentives and direct investments. You can trap

543
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: plentetyt in carbon dioxide from the smoke stacks of fact

544
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 3: trees and power plants and transport it to sites where

545
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 3: it's injected underground and stored. I've heard this before. It

546
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: just sounds bizarre. It's like storing air. Yeah, I don't

547
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 3: really understand it, but of course I'm not the science

548
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: behind it.

549
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like flying cars that they've been pushing

550
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: for sixty years, and it's.

551
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: Already alarming people who might live near these areas or

552
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: enjoy these forests. What happens, I mean.

553
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: You know what, if there's a leak, it'll kill everything.

554
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: I told you there is a forest, a little stretch

555
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: of forest up around Mammoth Mountain. When we used to

556
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: take the kids skiing. I saw this. I couldn't believe it.

557
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: It was a big stretch of forest trees and they

558
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: were all bare. They were all dead because there was

559
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,239
Speaker 2: some natural carbon dioxide leak from down below. Oh and

560
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: a fissure opened up, you know, because up there they've

561
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: had all kinds of earthquakes and volcanic style action. Right,

562
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: so something opened up and these gases were released, and

563
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: the carbon dioxide killed this wide swath of trees.

564
00:30:59,040 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: And that's what you'll get.

565
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: You think they'll do it, right, They can't even do

566
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: the uh the natural gas storage in the Port of Ranch.

567
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: Look at all the methane netleaks out of that they have.

568
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: They're discussing using carbon dioxide pipelines, which would transport the

569
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: carbon dioxide to the capture sites. Wow, Oh, that's gonna

570
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: be pretty controversial.

571
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: No, we're good at like writing up science fiction ideas,

572
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: but actually executing this stuff.

573
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: What are you gonna get.

574
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: You're gonna get like DWP workers, right, get you get

575
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: all these union guys. Yeah, they're gonna lay down the pipe, right, Sure,

576
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,479
Speaker 2: another disaster. There's gonna be no leak of all that

577
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: carbon dioxide. Well, let's see we've got Conway here and

578
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 2: Mark Thompson, Oh yeah, plugging himself in. Yeah, all right,

579
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: really Coleman, Dean Sharp is coming off of this the

580
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: house whisper.

581
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: That'll be cool.

582
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 6: My brother. I was telling Conway he worships at the

583
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 6: Church of Dean Sharp. Every time I talk to him.

584
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 6: It was Dean Sharp told me, did you hear the

585
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 6: Dean Sharp thing about lighting? Did you hear the Dean

586
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 6: Sharp thing about landscaping? Do you hear the Dean Sharp

587
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 6: thing about roofing and how you should have been?

588
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: It's like a cult, isn't it?

589
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 6: He said, He's you never missed an episode.

590
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: Wow, in and out.

591
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: Burger's Empire is a sham by that.

592
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: Maybe you should start talking about home furnishing and decor.

593
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: John, I've been doing that for twenty two years. Nobody cares.

594
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: I've been going.

595
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 7: I go to home depot four times, five times a week.

596
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 7: And my wife said, you know, sometimes you don't come

597
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 7: back with anything.

598
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: Why do you go?

599
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 7: And I said, well, there's an aisle in the back

600
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 7: way in the back section ten, right near the bathrooms,

601
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 7: and it's called forty five minutes to myself.

602
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: That's what I get there.

603
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 7: There's a report that says sixty percent Americans are living

604
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 7: paycheck to paycheck.

605
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: That's not good. How's that feel, Mark?

606
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 6: I just, I just I dream of a paycheck.

607
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: That's right. You have to earn a paycheck.

608
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: I have to write.

609
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 6: I dream of living paycheck to paycheck. That's how far

610
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 6: I have a free land.

611
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: You can't live on one.

612
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 6: I don't get exactly.

613
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 7: Rolling Stones announcer announce the tour sponsored by AARP.

614
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: It is true.

615
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: Something is that crazy? They're number one on the charts.

616
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Beatles are number one on the charts.

617
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: AARP Stones will never quit.

618
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. Are you remember of aar P? I

619
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: am not. I don't join anything. I'm not either nothing.

620
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: I said, screw it, I'm not a member.

621
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: They start bugging you when you're fifty, they do.

622
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, they start banging on you, and when you're late forties.

623
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: I don't answer the mail. I don't answer the phone.

624
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: I don't I don't read email, text messages, nothing. So

625
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:41,720
