1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: We're with you every day from one until four and

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: the iHeart app. We had been promoting that State Senator

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Janet Win was going to come on with us at

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: three point thirty to talk about this abomination. A fifty

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: cent increase in gas prices each of the next two years,

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: fifty cents in twenty twenty five, another fifty cents in

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Another regulation, a low carbon fuel standard

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: from the California Air Resources Board that would be a

12
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 2: dollars worth of gas taxes over a two year period.

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: It was ticking like a time bomb in the California

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Air Resources Board master plan, and it's supposed to go

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: into effect fifty cents next year, fifty cents in twenty

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: twenty six. Janet when will come on with us tomorrow

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: at three o'clock to talk about it? Because that rage

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: just doesn't begin to describe what that is. We're going

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 2: to talk now with Nancy Iskander. Nancy suffered the worst

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: tragedy her sons, Mark and Jacob Ages eleven and eight

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: were struck and killed in a crosswalk back in September

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty in Westlake Village, killed as you probably

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: have heard, by Rebecca Grossman, the wife and co founder

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: of Well, the wife of doctor Peter Grossman, and they

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: are the kel founders of the Grossman Burn Center in

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: the valley. She was drinking. She may have had some

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: prescription drugs in her as well. And Rebecca had been

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,279
Speaker 2: drinking with her boyfriend that she was having an affair

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: with Scott Erickson, the former Dodger, and they were racing

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: into this intersection and Rebecca rammed into the two boys

31
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: and they were struck and killed. They were supposed to

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: be Well Grossman supposed to be sentenced. She got convicted

33
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: of second degree murder. The whole case has been thrown

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: up in the air when it comes to sentencing because

35
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: the prosecutors working for us, working for the Iskander family,

36
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: have been taken off the case by George Gascone. Why well,

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: because Rebecca Grossman has an attorneyamed James Spurtis. Spurtus is

38
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: now also the attorney for Gascone's top assistant, Da Diana

39
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 2: Tauran She's been charged with eleven felonies for illegal accessing

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: records of sheriff's deputies. So Diana Tehuran hired James Spurtis,

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: who was already Grossman's attorney. There's clearly a conflict of

42
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: interest because if Spurtus is working against gasconon prosecutors and

43
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: is representing a gascon prosecutor, that can't stand. So gascone

44
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: removes the prosecutors from the case. On the prosecution side,

45
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: I I'm just stunned at this. So let's talk to

46
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: Nancy Iskander. It's our first interview with us. Nancy, welcome

47
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: to the show. How are you?

48
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: I'm good things, How are you all right?

49
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: I just want to offer my condolences, not that it

50
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: means much, but I'm really sorry. What happened to your signs.

51
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: I've got three signs and I can I can understand

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 2: that terrible pain and four years you have to wait

53
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: for this, for this trial to happen, and now and

54
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: now this what I don't understand. If these prosecutors aren't

55
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: going to work on the case for the sentencing, then who.

56
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: Is So on Friday, we were informed that our prosecutors

57
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: were removed from the case, and they are no longer

58
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: allowed to speak in the name of Martin Jacob after

59
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: they've been working on the case for four years. We heard,

60
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: we learned that even we're not allowed to speak with

61
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: them because it's now a firewall between them and anything

62
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: to do with Mark and Jacob. We were not informed

63
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: of who will take the case or where are we.

64
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: We felt very we were so confused, disappointed. These were

65
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: the people we worked with since day one. They knew us,

66
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: they knew Rebecca Grossman in her games, they knew the boys,

67
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: even they kind of got to know who Mark the

68
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: scander was and who Jacob was. So only today we

69
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 3: are we've been told that the case will go to

70
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 3: someone else in major crimes.

71
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

72
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: And after we've kind of spoken about it, we were

73
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: told that Ryan and Jamie, our prosecutors, will be assisting

74
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: the new person taking on the case. I'm still not

75
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: entirely sure what the roles will be on the case.

76
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: We're extremely sad and disappointed still because this is the

77
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: sentencing was our last step in the process.

78
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: Sure, and you've got prosecutors who've been on this case

79
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: for years, and so what I don't understand is if

80
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: they're going to put another prosecutor on the case, Well,

81
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: that's still going to be somebody working for Gascone. So

82
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: there's still a conflict of interest here. And the conflict

83
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: of interest is created by the defense attorney, not by

84
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: the prosecutors on your side.

85
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: Right, the conflict of interest is coming purely from the

86
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: attorney Missus Grossman hired. He also represents someone in the

87
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: Edmund's office, and this is the true reason for the

88
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: conflict of interest, not the prosecution. If we don't want

89
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 3: conflict of interest, he needs to not be on the case.

90
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: Right, very simple, right, because the team should stay intact

91
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: and to argue on behalf of your family to get

92
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: the proper sentencing done. I don't understand why they're getting

93
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: tossed off because Rebecca Grossman chose chose James Spurtus unless

94
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: this was one of the reasons she chose him. I mean,

95
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: because obviously she's a terribly manipulative woman.

96
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: We've seen that Missus Grossman had different strategies before in

97
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: the trial. I mean, we've been we've been in this

98
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: for four years, and every time we feel like we

99
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: think we're done and we can now focus on our

100
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: or boy who survived and his trauma after seeing both

101
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: his older brothers die. Missus Grossman comes up with something else.

102
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean the prosecutors that gascones were moving,

103
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: Jamie Castro and Ryan Gould, they have no connection.

104
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: Do they have any connection with Diana Tauran.

105
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: We we know that a sister on I believe got

106
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: updates on the case from them during the trial. I

107
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: don't we don't know anything in particular that would warn

108
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: them to be removed. We're not aware of anything. They

109
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: did nothing wrong, there's no there's not a conflict, per se,

110
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: per understanding.

111
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking through I've been looking through various news

112
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: stories and I just I just don't see why your

113
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: prosecutors would be removed in this case because it's got

114
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: nothing to do with them. The case involving Diana Tauran

115
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with them, and Rebecca Grossman hiring

116
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: Jamee Spurtis has nothing to do with them.

117
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: It's It's also important to point out that Diana Turan

118
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: was overseeing many, many other cases, maybe hundreds, and none

119
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: of them were impacted. No other prosecutors were removed from

120
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: their cases except for the Mark and Jacob case. I

121
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: don't know why it is my case so.

122
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: Special, And there's Gasconne's office is not explaining this to

123
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: you at all.

124
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: We did seek to the office, they were they were

125
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: kind to us, I'll say for sure. They did say

126
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: that they have the best interest in mind and they

127
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: they want us to They would like to get us

128
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 3: the best results. But we now have to work with

129
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: a different person.

130
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Does this delay the sentencing?

131
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: Uh, This will depend on the decision that the judge

132
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: will take this Friday. If the judge decide that mister

133
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: Spurs cannot be on the case, then yes, there will

134
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: be a delay. If the judge does not see any

135
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 3: conflict of interest from that end, then sentencing will happen

136
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: to intent.

137
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: Because I noticed in the La Times, Taran has long

138
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: been represented by Spurtus's law firm, going back to twenty nineteen.

139
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: One of Spurtus's colleagues represented her during a civil case

140
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: correct over the sheriff's records that led to the criminal charges.

141
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: So there's that. I don't know. It's just like you

142
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: haven't been through enough.

143
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: I know. We are hoping that at some point we're

144
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 3: able to focus on our family and take care of

145
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: ourselves and try to get up on our feet again

146
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: and do the best good in the name of Mark

147
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 3: and Jacob. But for now, missus Grosman keeps taking us back.

148
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, she's an evil woman. She's a terrible woman.

149
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, Nancy, thank you for coming on with us, and

150
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 2: I hope the sorts itself out soon and we'll keep

151
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: on top of this story to let everybody else know it.

152
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Nancy, You're welcome. More coming up.

153
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Coebelt on demand from KFI A

154
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 4: M six forty.

155
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 2: Can you imagine getting an upgrade to your airline seat.

156
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: You're taken to first class. It's a middle seat, but

157
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 2: you know it's expansive because it's first class, right, And

158
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: you look over and the person sitting in the window.

159
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: Seat is enormous huge, How huge?

160
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: Well, the woman who got the upgrade said, when she

161
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: looked at the woman in the window seat, she described

162
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: her as having t Rex arms, and apparently her fat

163
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: rolls were billowing over the the arm rest into her

164
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 2: middle seat. This, this woman who got the upgrade, this

165
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: worst upgrade in airline history, went after Alaska Airlines because

166
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: she she said, she she had to sit there for

167
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: two hours and was left in physical discomfort because of

168
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: a very large seat mate with t rex arms.

169
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 5: Did she try to get her coach seat back.

170
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd rather go and sit the economy.

171
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: Go back to the economy class here, she said, she

172
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: was placed in the middle seat to a very large passenger.

173
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: She was so close she could feel their body heats

174
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 2: because yeah, fat people emanate, emanate a lot of warmth.

175
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: She was flying from Juno to Anchorage, and you think, well,

176
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: it's Alaska, so that's not a short flight. That's two hours.

177
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: And her company had bought a seat in the main cabin,

178
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: but she had gold status, so she got a premium

179
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: middle seat. And I approached. I was supposed to be

180
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: nine E, she's in nine F. She had our arm

181
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: rested up and was overhanging it into my seat by

182
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: a good third of the way. She said she wasn't rude.

183
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: I did not make anyone uncomfortable or embarrass anyone. I

184
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: simply slid my backpack under the seat and sucked into

185
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: my seat. But I was physically touching and pushing into

186
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: this person along the full left side of me, so

187
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: there was a lot of blubber. I felt their body

188
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: heat my left arm could not come down and casually

189
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 2: rest because it would be on their stomach.

190
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 5: That's yeah. I wouldn't like.

191
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 2: That, so I had to extend my left arm out

192
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: onto the headrest for the whole flight. I didn't complain

193
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: because there were no empty seats and I didn't want

194
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: to draw any more attention to this. I sucked it up,

195
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: put on my best face. When she finally one of

196
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: the flight attendants came by in mouth, I'm so sorry. Ways,

197
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: he didn't want to make a big deal about it,

198
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: but now it's national news and you're talking about it.

199
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 5: She didn't want to make a big deal at the time.

200
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 5: She didn't want to embarrass the woman at the time.

201
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: You're yeah, I know, but you're not. She's not going

202
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 5: to go haywire on the plane, right, and then we

203
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 5: have a tear in the skies situation.

204
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: That's fair, all right.

205
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: She spoke to an Alaska rep when she got off

206
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: the plane, and she was offered fifty dollars fifty dollars

207
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: or or thirty five hundred miles. They couldn't help her

208
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: at the desk, so she ended up on a customer

209
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: service call, and that was thirty minutes and apparently the

210
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: rule is on Alaska, if you're that big, you're supposed

211
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: to buy two seats.

212
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: I was going to say, so, how come she didn't

213
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 5: buy the two seats?

214
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: They didn't enforce the rule.

215
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: Now, what would you have done, John Cobalt if you

216
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 5: were upgraded to first class?

217
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: First class? Yes, that stuff makes me furious. There's a

218
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: certain kind of arrogance people like that have whe where

219
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: they you know, they don't they don't take care of

220
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: their own business. They should insist on paying for two seats.

221
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: Like she doesn't care that she's her role fat roles

222
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: are lopping over me, But I'm supposed to care about

223
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: her feelings. Well, the problem you have is you know,

224
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: you don't want to start a write in a plane

225
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: because you'll get a rest.

226
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 5: That's what I just said when Eric made his comment.

227
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 5: But I don't know if people that are obese even

228
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: know they're obese. You know what I'm saying. Sometimes you don't, you.

229
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: Know how we all Sometimes I wonder if they know.

230
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: They get so used to it, there's some kind of denial,

231
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: so maybe they don't realize that they're lopped over. Because

232
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: the first if you have any sensitivity you'd automatically buy

233
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: two seats, right.

234
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: You would think. But I'm sure if you asked a

235
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 5: sample of very large people, maybe they don't know that

236
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: that's what you do. Maybe they think maybe that woman thought, Okay,

237
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: it's a first class seat. It's going to be extra big,

238
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 5: so I don't need to buy two seats.

239
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: Well, it seems to me that that the oversized person

240
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: has the obligation to make things right.

241
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 5: But it also is the crew on that plane. Well,

242
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 5: you should have said, did you buy two seats? Because

243
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 5: you know we have this policy. I know it's uncomfortable.

244
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 5: Take the woman outside, you know, maybe so she's not embarrassed.

245
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: See, once you're on the plane, you're screwed. Yes, And

246
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: you know, pre nine to eleven, you could make a

247
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: ruckissan a plane and you had some leverage.

248
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't do that.

249
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: Now you can't because you're on a no fly list.

250
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 5: Well, the benefit, I mean the plus side. John, I'm

251
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 5: always looking.

252
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Little miss optimism, that's me.

253
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 5: It was only two hours. Can you imagine if it

254
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 5: was cross country?

255
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: No? No, you know I'm not good with people's body

256
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: odors and.

257
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 5: Either, and I'm not good with the wet coffee either.

258
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: Behind me. I had, you know, I had that for

259
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: nine hours. Once we do.

260
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: We're doing a plane I think from Newark to la

261
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: which was a six hour flight, and it was on

262
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: the ground for three hours before that. And this guy

263
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: had tuberculosis. I think he was hacking up a wet cough,

264
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: violent coughing, sitting next to him for nine hours.

265
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: See now, why doesn't that person Okay, this is pre pandemic,

266
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 5: so I understand probably doesn't have a mask, but take

267
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 5: your shirt and cover your face, don't cough.

268
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: Take a plastic bag.

269
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: That's so disgusting and so rude. I think I would

270
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 5: rather sit next to the extra large person than having

271
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 5: somebody tuberculosis coffee behind me.

272
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,600

Speaker 2: couple of themes going on this afternoon. What is and

00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: it's really worth listening to if you missed it and

286
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: listen to the podcast we talk with. We talked about

287
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 2: the Julie Sue situation. You may have heard that name.

288
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: She certainly came up plenty often in the last few years.

289
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: She used to be the California Labor Secretary and she

290
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: was in charge of the Unemployment department when over thirty

291
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: three billion dollars was given away to fraudsters. A total

292
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: of thirty three billion was given to inmates in California prisons,

293
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: including Scott Peterson, all kinds of the random criminals, international

294
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: fraud rings all over.

295
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: All over the world. She blew thirty three billion dollars.

296
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Now she got promoted to being Biden's Labor Secretary, and

297
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: she has devised a plan to use US text pay

298
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: money to reimburse California for all the fraud she's responsible for.

299
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: So she blew the money. She had no anti fraud protocol,

300
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 2: let's put it in technical terms.

301
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: None.

302
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: If you asked for money from California during COVID, you

303
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: got it.

304
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: No questions asked. If you wanted unemployment money.

305
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: They didn't care if you worked, They didn't care if

306
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: you were a citizen, whether you lived in the country,

307
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: they didn't care if you were on the other side

308
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: of the world as part of some criminal ring thirty

309
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: three billion dollars. Because she never bothered and she was

310
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: grilled in Congress and started babbling about equity or some

311
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: you know, all that nonsense. It's just gibberish. It's like

312
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: a Elon Musk had the right word for it. It's

313
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: a mind virus, diversity, inclusion, equity. They chanted like a

314
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: prayer to ward off evil spirits. Whenever they're charged within compts,

315
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 2: they don't explain themselves. And this is common in the

316
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 2: Newsom administration. And if you noticed a few days ago,

317
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: they had a hearing in Sacramento grilling Newsom's housing officials.

318
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: Kind of the same issue.

319
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: Billions of dollars are spent on homelessness, and nobody has

320
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 2: any records of where the money went. They don't even

321
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: keep records. I think that's what's shocking. They don't keep records.

322
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: They did an audit. If you remember some weeks ago,

323
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: they spent twenty four billion dollars in five years. Homelessness

324
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: has shot up dramatically, though ever since we've spent the money,

325
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 2: it's getting funneled through these nonprofits, which I swear to

326
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 2: you are mostly criminal, even some far left wing Assembly

327
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 2: people like Phil Ting from San Francisco. He was wailing

328
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: away on the Newsome officials during this hearing. You come

329
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 2: to a budget committee, there's no numbers how many people

330
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: have we helped, how many people are off the streets,

331
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: because that's what the public wants to know. What's the

332
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 2: money been spent on. And like Julie Sue muttering gibberish,

333
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: in this case, it was Megan Marshall. She's an executive

334
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 2: with the California Interagency Counsel on Homelessness. I don't know

335
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: what that is. It's supposed to track the homeless money,

336
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: but they never did. And what I'm seeing in these

337
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: stories is that they don't even try to do their job.

338
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: They simply send out checks to whoever, or transmit money

339
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: electronically to whoever, and then that's it. Whether it's used

340
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 2: or not, whether it's stolen, whether it works or not.

341
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter.

342
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: Now, there's always some of that in government, but newsoce

343
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: people because they know there's one party rule that their

344
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: administration will never be voted out of office, that the

345
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: next Democrat that takes over, we'll keep all of them on. Well,

346
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 2: what does it matter? Why track the money? Newsom doesn't care. Well,

347
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 2: Megan Marshall starts battling something about how the system is

348
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 2: undergoing transformation and we're working through data quality issues. All

349
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: you have to do is a ledger. It's like a checkbook.

350
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: If it gave a million dollars to homeless crook nonprofit,

351
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: then just write that down homeless crooked nonprofit million dollars.

352
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: They don't have that.

353
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: In fact, the State Artit found that Marshall's agency had

354
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: not evaluated program success or monitored spending. Well, those were

355
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: the only two jobs she had. Who the hell is

356
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: this woman? Here's another one, Megan Kirkabee. She's with the

357
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: California Department of Housing and Community Development. Another long title.

358
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: The longer the title, the more likely it's some kind

359
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: of criminal activity.

360
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: She said. Cities and counties that received.

361
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 2: Some grants were not required to show the state how

362
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: they spent homeless Homelessness program funding. Meantime, Karen Bass and

363
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: other males went to Sacramento last month wanting more money,

364
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: except they never showed what they did with the old money.

365
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: Because they didn't have to.

366
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: In fact, I think now locally the La City Council

367
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: is starting to complain, well, what did you do with

368
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: the money? All of a sudden, everyone's awakened after what

369
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: four or five?

370
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: Six? Seven years?

371
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean it's seven years since we passed a couple

372
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: of major funding measures, those propositions back in twenty seventeen,

373
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: seven years, and.

374
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: Only now they're going, hey, where'd that money go? Would

375
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: we do? Did it even work?

376
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: No?

377
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: I guess not? Whoops? Sorry?

378
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 2: What do they do all day? They don't even try.

379
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: That's what's amazing. They don't even try. They don't care

380
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: because nobody asks. You have one party rule and you

381
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 2: have no media covering any of this. So now after

382
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 2: seven years, after seven freaking years, it finally dawned on

383
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: even the worst legislators in Sacramento like, wow, this is bad,

384
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: isn't it? Because they have a huge budget deficit and

385
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: now they got to start cutting all kinds of programs

386
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: and everybody's going to be squealing and whining and crying.

387
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 2: And now they're looking around saying, well, what do we

388
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: do with all the money, and how come there's still

389
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: bodies stacked up all over the place. Unbelievably bad. One

390
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: party rule is horrible. Nothing changes people's voting patterns. It's fascinating.

391
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: More coming up.

392
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

393
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 4: six forty.

394
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: I don't know how much news about Trump permeates the

395
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: California bubble, but the New York Times and the Philadelphia

396
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: Inquirer and Santa College had did a polling, and you know,

397
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: I'm skeptical of all polling. You have to be right,

398
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: but they are getting the same result over and over

399
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: and over again. So if it's wrong, they're all wrong.

400
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: But they've got now Trump ahead of Biden in most

401
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: of the swing states, and the margins increasing. In Georgia

402
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: and Arizona. It's getting big enough that they're not even

403
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: a swing state anymore. And Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are

404
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: the closest. If Trump wins one of those three and

405
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: everything else that he won before, then he will be

406
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: president again. And it's true among likely voters, among registered voters,

407
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 2: among whether Robert Kennedy is in the race, or not,

408
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: whether the other minor candidates are in the race or not,

409
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: no matter, no matter how they shook up this, Polly,

410
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: Trump keeps coming out on top. And the reason is

411
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: that people are upset about the economy and inflation and

412
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: about immigration. And it's the two things that matter most,

413
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 2: and it's the two things that Biden publicly denies that

414
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: there's any problem with. And it's a question I've asked

415
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: so many guests whenever these topics come up on the air. Why,

416
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're running for office and you're falling

417
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: behind that you've tried behind a guy that you've tried

418
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: to demonize as capable of destroying the country. Think about

419
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: all the renter coming out of Biden in his campaign

420
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: about how horrible Trump would be. Well, that's your message.

421
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 2: And then you're down three, five, seven, nine points in

422
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: all these states that matter. Don't you look and see

423
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: why you're behind? And if all your research and they

424
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: do a ton of research, focus groups and polling and

425
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: all kinds of statistical analysis, and if it keeps coming back,

426
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: it's like, Wow, people are really really pissed off about

427
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: the economy and inflation. Because I heard Trump Trump drew

428
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: eighty thousand people at least at the Jersey Shore in Wildwood,

429
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: not far from where Ken and I.

430
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: Used to work. In fact, we used to host.

431
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: Party nights at bars along the Wildwood Beach, so I

432
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: know that place really well. Gigantic Beach, eighty thousand people.

433
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: And I heard a clip of Trump and he's gone.

434
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: He goes, hot dogs are up twenty two percent, and

435
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 2: steak chickens up to thirty two percent, and hamburgers are

436
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: up thirty seven percent. He goes, that's why I'm eating

437
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: a hot dog. It went up the least. And the

438
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: whole crowd is roaring with laughter, and I'm thinking this

439
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: sounds like twenty sixteen, because he's got his whole Las

440
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 2: Vegas comedian stick going, and he's got props, and he's

441
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: eating a hot dog, and he goes, look at the

442
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: price of the hot dog. This is all I can afford,

443
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: which is core, which is amazing. He pulls that off considering,

444
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: you know, he's a billionaire and he dresses like a

445
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: businessman every day. But he's doing jokes about being forced

446
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: eat hot dogs, and everybody's laughing, like how And this

447
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: is in New Jersey, not exactly. Iowa when it comes

448
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: to political leanings. So then you look at this New

449
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: York Times poll and seventy percent of voters say that

450
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: the country's political and economic systems need major changes or

451
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 2: even be torn down entirely.

452
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: Hum.

453
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: Well, that's an unhappy country, isn't it. Only thirteen percent

454
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's supporters believe that Joe would bring major

455
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: changes in his second term. Even many of those who

456
00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: dislike Trump grudgingly acknowledge that he would shake up the

457
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: status quo, which they're not happy with. And they're finding

458
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: an increasing number of people who voted for Biden are

459
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: turning to Trump. At least that's what they're telling the

460
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: pollsters and the interviewers. He's doing better among young voters.

461
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: Trump is doing better among young voters. For all you

462
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: see are the progressives right chanting and screaming in the streets. Well,

463
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 2: some polls say there's more young voters going for Trump,

464
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: Black and Hispanic voters too. Trump and Biden are tied

465
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 2: among eighteen to twenty nine year olds, tied among Hispanic

466
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: voters in both categories. Eighteen to twenty nine. In Hispanic

467
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: Biden won more than sixty percent of their vote. Now

468
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: he's splitting it. Trump also gets twenty percent of black voters.

469
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: That would be the highest level of Black support for

470
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: any Republican candidate since they passed the Civil Rights Act

471
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty four. Now this one, Poul. This has

472
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: been going on for months, over and over and over again,

473
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: and Trump supporters say the economy, the cost of living,

474
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: was the most important issue in the election.

475
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: Right.

476
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: It's the price of a hot dog, it really is.

477
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: It's the price of eggs, it's the price of hamburgers,

478
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: it's the going out to eat. And then Biden tells

479
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: you that, no, it's not happening. In fact, he said

480
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: that the other day on national television on CNN. He said, well,

481
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: people have the money. He said, people have the money. Well,

482
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: no they don't. Three quarters of the country lives paycheck

483
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: to paycheck. I I just I'm astonished that this is

484
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: how they're going to campaign. They're going to tell you

485
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: that the price of eggs and hot dogs are not

486
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: going up, that the border is secure and you can

487
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: afford it anyway. Conway, Up next, Krozier Live in the
