What are people going to notice 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: about life in La County if John and Tommy is 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: the is the new district attorney? 33 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: Well, John, first, I want to let you know it's 34 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: a complete honor that you're endorsing the campaign. I definitely 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: look up to you and listen to your show. You've 36 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: been fighting the good fight against George Gascon for the 37 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: last three and a half years, and so I hope 38 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 2: a lot of people know that. And I'm personally very 39 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: very appreciative of the work that you do to try 40 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: to make California better and safer. For families than children. 41 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: For me. The first thing John day one, We're going 42 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: to revoke every policy George Gascon is implemented, and we're 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: going to go back to prosecuting crime. I think people 44 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: are sick and tired of the crime. They're tired of 45 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: feeling afraid to walk down the street or to go shopping, 46 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: or to wear a watch or jewelry, or to drive 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: their car. They're tired of being afraid to pump gas 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 2: at night or walk out to their car and open 49 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: up the trunk. They're tired of these smash and grab burgeries, 50 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: organize retail theft. They're tired of these hate crimes. They're 51 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: tired of individuals who get arrested and get released, and 52 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: get arrested and get released, these repeat offenders over and 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: over again. These things have been happening in the last 54 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: three and a half years under Jorge gask Gone. So 55 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to be an actual district attorney. I'm going 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: to take office day one and tell people they will 57 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: be accountable and responsible for their actions. If they can 58 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: make crimes, they will be prosecuted. We're going to hold 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: people accountable. We're going to follow the law. We're also 60 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: going to prosecute misdemeanors, resisting arrest, disturbing the peace, public drunkenness, 61 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: solicitation for prostitution in decent exposure, aggravated trespass. These things 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: are going unchecked, and people are tired. They're really tired 63 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 2: of the crime in Los Angeles, and so I will 64 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: be a people's prosecutor, and I'm going to do the 65 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: job of the district attorney, which is prosecuting crime and 66 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: making sure people are accountable and responsible for their actions. 67 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: I think a lot in the media, and certainly the 68 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: gascon crowd underplays the quality of life crimes, which is 69 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: what makes people uncomfortable walking down the street on any 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: given day, any given night. And it's all the list 71 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: of things you talked about that you're going to enforce. 72 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: It's not necessarily mass murders. It's all the other stuff 73 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: that makes you feel uneasy and tense just walking down 74 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: to go window shopping. 75 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: No, you're right, John, You know, I handle. I've been 76 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: in the office eighteen years and I handle. You know, 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: people who torture and murdered children. Those are really serious crimes. 78 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: But the majority of the crimes we have in Los 79 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 2: Angeles are not people torturing and murdering children. The majority 80 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: of these crimes are crimes that affect the quality of 81 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: life of everyone. People are tired of these home burglaries. 82 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 2: So many people's homes have been burglarized, you know, during 83 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: the day. People are tired of their cars being burglarized. 84 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: People are tired of losing their catalytic converters, which cost 85 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: three or four thousand dollars to replace. People are tired 86 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: of being attacked or assaulted or harassed on metro and 87 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: on public transportation. People are getting really tired of this, 88 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: and it's happening every day. Businesses are getting broken into 89 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: and smashed and vandalized. Hate crimes are going un check, 90 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: Vandalism is going unchecked, and so the district attorney needs 91 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: to work with the police, collaborate with the police, which 92 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: is what I will do. We're endorsed by over twenty 93 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: police officer associations and my wife is a sixteen year 94 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: veteran police officer in the Sheriff's department. We will work 95 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: together to make our community safer and better. 96 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. I use the next door app as an unscientific 97 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: tracker of just what the general population is feeling and 98 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: what you were saying. People really are fed up constantly 99 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: having to deal with burglaries. There are a lot of 100 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: burglaries go on, and a lot of them are not reported. 101 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: There's a lot of theft that goes on. There's a 102 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: lot of cars being broken into. Makes everybody crazy. If 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: one person has an incident and they put it on 104 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: the next door app within minutes there are one hundred 105 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: applies and everybody is commiserating, and everybody's telling their own story. 106 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: And you know that just wasn't there a few years ago. 107 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: No, you're right, John, You're right, it wasn't. I get 108 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: so many people who DM us about these things, and 109 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: so we try to go out to people's neighborhoods and 110 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: meet with individuals and talk to them. And I can 111 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: tell you and I hope people realize this, and I 112 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: think you do because you were there Day one. I 113 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: was the first person to step forward and challenge George 114 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: Gascon's directives. I think people want a leader. I think 115 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: people want somebody who's going to fight for them, who's 116 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: going to step up and start challenging what's happening here 117 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and actually do the job of the 118 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: district attorney, and I think small crimes, big crimes, all 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: types of crimes need to be handled. We need to 120 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 2: look out for our victims and survivors and surviving families. 121 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: We need to look out for people who are being 122 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: victims of theft. We need to look out for our 123 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: immigrant businesses and our regular businesses that are being impacted 124 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: every day. I have so many restaurant owners whose restaurants 125 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: are being impacted every single day. Employees get harassed every 126 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 2: single day, and nobody's doing anything about it. As DA 127 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: on day one, I will do something about it and 128 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: make this community safer for all of us. 129 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: You know what you've been really good at. There's one 130 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: moment in a debate that really stands out where you 131 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: really took it to George Gascon directly and told him 132 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: that he was lying. And you seem to be absolutely feariless, 133 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: fearless in taking on Gascon, which if it ends up 134 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: being you and him in the final is going to 135 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: be one of your most strongest weapons that you can use, 136 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: is the fearlessness to describe him exactly the way he 137 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: ought to be described. 138 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: So I spent seven years in the United States Army. 139 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: I'm also a dad and so both of those things 140 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: kick in, and so you know, I'm fighting for my 141 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: kids and I want to make sure they're safe. I'm 142 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: also fighting for all the victims. John a lot of 143 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: the victims and their families and their family members. They're 144 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: having a forum tonight, and George Gascon is refused to 145 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 2: even come to this forum, and so they feel abandoned 146 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: as well. And so I'm fighting for them. And so 147 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: when I stand up and I fight against George Gaston, 148 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: I have so many people behind me that are also 149 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: with me and fighting in this fight. And yeah, I 150 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: am fearless. I'm fearless because I'm a dad and I'm 151 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: fighting for my kids. I'm also fearless because I've dealt 152 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: with so much more in the United States Army. There's 153 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: nothing George Gascon can throw at me. There's nothing that 154 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: his supporters can throw at me. I'm just going to say, 155 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: bring it. You cannot knock me down. I am not 156 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: going to leave Los Angeles. You are not going to 157 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: kick me out of my home. You're not going to 158 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: stop me from this fight. No matter who comes at me, 159 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to keep driving forward, just like an infantry soldier. 160 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 2: And we're going to get to the mission, which is 161 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: kicking George Gascon out of Los Angeles. 162 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: Did you see the Channel seven report we played it 163 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: the other day where Gascone told the reporter that I 164 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: think la is in a better place than it was 165 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: three years ago in twenty twenty one. 166 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 2: And I did see that, and that's completely delusional. And 167 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 2: he is just a gas lighter. He's been gaslighting all 168 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 2: of us for three and a half years. Every single Angelino, 169 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: no matter what political party you belong to, knows we 170 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: are not safer now than we were three or four 171 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: years ago. There is not one person who would say that, 172 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 2: with the exception of George Gascon, property crimes have increased dramatically, 173 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: even violent crimes. John. If you look at the three 174 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 2: and a half years that George Gascon has been the 175 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: DA have increased. Maybe it decreased a little bit last 176 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 2: year compared to this year, but his total time in 177 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: office that's increased as well. There is not one area 178 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: that George Gascon has made Los Angeles better or safer. 179 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 2: And to get up and gas by all of us. 180 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: I hope everybody comes down votes. I hope everybody votes 181 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: against George Gascon, and I was the first one to say, Hey, 182 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 2: I will support anybody who makes it past this primary, anybody. 183 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 2: I think John McKenny would be a great DA. I 184 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: think Eric Siddall would be a great DA. I think 185 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: Maria Ramirez would be a great DA. Do I believe 186 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: that we're going to make it pass this primary. I 187 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 2: one hundred percent believe that. But I will for anybody 188 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: who makes it past his primary because George gass Gone 189 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: is dangerous. 190 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: There were there were a lot of really good candidates, 191 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: and actually that that's the dangers that the vote gets 192 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: split too many different ways. And so that's why we 193 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: wanted to focus on on on just two candidates and 194 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: try to box Gascon out entirely, because I think the 195 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: campaign if you make it to the finals against Gascon, 196 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: and I really hope he gets boxed out. He's going 197 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: to be nasty, He's going to lie, like hell, God 198 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: knows what he's gonna say do. He's capable of anything. 199 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: Will we come back? Can you stay for another segment? 200 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: You got time? Sure? 201 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? 202 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: Yeah?

We'll talk to 211 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: John some more next. 212 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 3: John Cobalt showed you're listening to John Cobelt on demand 213 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: from kf I Am six forty. 214 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: In the middle of interview with John Had Tommy, La 215 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: County Deputy District Attorney, and we're giving him our recommendation. 216 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: You vote for him to become La County DA and 217 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: replace George Gascone. We continue now with with John. Let 218 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: let's talk about your background you had. You had a 219 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: difficult childhood which eventually you went into the military and 220 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: eventually made it into the La County District Attorney's office, 221 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: and you've had certainly a spectacular career there. Just give us, 222 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: you know, a biography, so people who aren't familiar with you, 223 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: they they they know what kind of life you've lived. 224 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: Sure, I was born in New York City. My dad 225 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: was very very physically and emotionally abusive, and I had 226 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: a really, really tough childhood growing up. As a result 227 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: of that, my mom ended up kidnapping both my brother 228 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: and I and we moved to Florida for about a year, 229 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: and then after that we moved to California and I 230 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 2: grew up in the San Fernando Valley and in the 231 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 2: Santa Clarita Valley. I had a really tough teenage years, 232 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: I think, going through life without a dad. My family 233 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of money. I was raised poor. 234 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: I ended up also going to the Boys and Girls 235 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: Club because my mom worked. My dad was looking for 236 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: us throughout many years and ended up putting our pictures 237 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: in the Ladies Home Journal. There was an addition of 238 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 2: missing children, and we were two of the children in 239 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: that magazine of about three or four hundred other missing children. 240 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: And my mom was a nurse at Kaiser in Woodland Hills, 241 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: and somebody noticed us, and so you know, now it's 242 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: a really huge crime if you kidnap children. Parental kidnapping 243 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: is a really big deal. Back then, it wasn't as 244 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: big as as it is now. My mom ended up 245 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 2: getting a slap on the wrist, but you know, it 246 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: was a difficult time for my brother and I and 247 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: I got into a little bit of trouble when I 248 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: was a teenager, and so I ended up joining the 249 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 2: army and it turned my life around. So I am 250 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: the product of second chances. But I always wanted to 251 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: do something to help children, always wanted to help kids, 252 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: and so I ended up finally getting a job with 253 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 2: the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, and it pretty 254 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: much is the best job I've ever had. I've fought 255 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: for abuse, neglected and murdered children for a very long time. 256 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: Before that, I did cases of all my children who 257 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: are sexually abused. I've also handled hate crimes, domestic violence, 258 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 2: sex trafficking, elder abuse. A lot of cases are very 259 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: vulnerable victims. And so I've had a very good eighteen 260 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: year career in the lost and was kind of District 261 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: Attorney's office. It's been a little disappointing and discouraging as 262 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: George Gascon became DA and so you know, I've been 263 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: fighting him for the last three and a half years 264 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: because I became a day to fight for kids and 265 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: I wasn't going to allow him to stop me from 266 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: doing that I also became a dad. I have two kids. 267 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: I have an eleven year old son and a nine 268 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: year old daughter, and I'm raising them here in Los Angeles. 269 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: And I married my wife, who's a deputy sheriff. I 270 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: met her in court in Annelo Valley. Somebody said there 271 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: was a pretty deputy in Department A eleven, And I 272 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: went to the department A eleven and there was a 273 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: pretty deputy and she had a gun. So I thought 274 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: that was kind of cool. And we ended up getting married. 275 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: And you know, we've been married a long time and 276 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: we have two beautiful kids, and so you know, I 277 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: consider myself blessed. You know, I bought my house at 278 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: the VA Home loan. I have two cars. You know, 279 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: I'm not wealthy, but I'm doing good. And you know, 280 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to stay here in LA keep fighting, keep 281 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: fighting for my community and for my family and friends, 282 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: and keep fightens my kids, and keep fightens my wife. 283 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: Well, I think people listening to you could tell that 284 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: you have a tremendous amount of compassion and no small 285 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: part because of what you went through in the early 286 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: years of your life. And that is one thing I 287 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: noticed and really enrages me. That that Gascone absolutely lacks. 288 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: He does not have a shred of empathy and compassion 289 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: for crime victims, the families of crime victims who've suffered 290 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: the worst tragedies. I mean, it's it's unbelievable, and I 291 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: think I think your compassion is going to come shining through, 292 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: and it's going to be if you end up going 293 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: one on one with Gascon, it's going to be a 294 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: big difference maker because he, to me seems sociopathic and 295 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: his lack of care for victims and victims families, and 296 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: that's a huge change that needs to happen. 297 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: I agree, Johnny, he doesn't care. I've met moms who 298 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: have lost their children to set in all poison. I've 299 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: met moms and dads who have lost their kids to 300 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: gun violence and gang violence. I've met moms who have 301 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: lost their daughters to sex trafficking. Many of these parents 302 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: are trying to keep driving forward and it's hard. It's 303 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: almost impossible once you lose a child. And for George 304 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: Gascon to shun them and not talk to them and 305 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: not communicate with them, I think is sad and disappointing. 306 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: I think that we need to have somebody who's going 307 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: to stand up and fight for these victims and fight 308 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: for these survivors and our family members. That is the 309 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: job of the district attorney, and George Gascon has completely 310 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: failed to do that. 311 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: All right, somebody wants to learn more, Why don't you 312 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: give us your website and obviously you'll take donations as well. 313 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: So just give out all the information that people can 314 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: find on the internet. 315 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: And so if you want to follow my campaign or 316 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: learn more about it, go to www dot Jonathan Patammy 317 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: dot com, j O n A t h A n 318 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: h A t Ami dot com.

You 339 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: could vote for John to become the La County DA. 340 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: You know he'd be a hell of a lot better 341 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: than what we've got now in Gascone. We also picked 342 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: John McKinney yesterday as well. And you may be saying 343 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: why too, because there's only one slot. Well, you can 344 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: only vote for one person. That's true, But the way 345 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: this primary works, the top two go on to November, 346 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: and I personally would like to highlight two candidates, maybe 347 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: slightly improve the chances of two good guys being in 348 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: the runoff. I'd love to see Tommy and McKinney go 349 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: off against each other. That would be a far more 350 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: pleasant campaign than having to deal with Gascon. So that's why, 351 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: all right, and they're both they're both really good and 352 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: you just heard hot Tommy. He's outstanding, all right, And 353 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: so that's that's what I'm thinking. There are other good candidates, 354 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: and no slight on most of those people. It's just that, 355 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 1: you know, we talked about this off the air. You 356 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: can only have one LA County District Attorney, and by 357 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: having eleven opponents, the vote is going to be splintered 358 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: eleven different ways, and that could allow Gascone to become, 359 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, one of the top two. And then there's 360 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: Jeff Chemerinsky, who is like Gascone, He's a mini Gascon. 361 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: And god forbid, we've got, you know, a Gascone and 362 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,479 Speaker 1: a Chamerinsky in the finals. I mean, you never know, 363 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: although I don't see him doing very well, but he's 364 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: got a lot of money. So we've got to I thought, well, 365 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: you know, we got to highlight two candidates that we 366 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: thought were excellent choices to block out these these woke 367 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: progressive lunatics that have really you know what, this is 368 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: not an academic exercise here, this really changed our life. 369 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of politicians and people who are 370 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: political geeks really into inside pol politics. You can you 371 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: can debate candidates, you know, to the end of time, 372 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: and it doesn't really matter. It doesn't change your life. 373 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: Gascone affected our lives more than whoever president was more, 374 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: whoever the US senator was. All right, Gascone affected our 375 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: lives more because that clip. Do you have that clip 376 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: handy of gascon that one line, Eric, Yeah, find it, 377 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: because this one line is what really cut through to 378 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: my gut. And this is why I'm telling you that 379 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: it's this vote in La County that's more important than 380 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: who becomes senator, who becomes president really is for day 381 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: to day life, because there's nothing they can do in 382 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: Washington or Sacramento as a as a senator. Well it's 383 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: actually Washington, right yeah, Sacramento. All right, listen to this. 384 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is a senator is in Washington, presidents 385 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: in Washington, whoever is the La County da is going 386 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: to affect you up in the morning. How good you 387 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: feel about walking the streets that day, How good you 388 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: feel when you step out of your car and you're 389 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: looking around before you go into the store. My wife 390 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: went to two targets the other day at both targets, 391 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: there were homeless people not just hanging out, but being disruptive, 392 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: all right, causing a ruckus. One set of homeless people 393 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: were inside the target and they were causing a ruckus. Okay, 394 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: that never happened before where you can't even go to target. 395 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: I think she wanted to buy a vacuum cleaner. At 396 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: both targets, to buy a vacuum cleaner, homeless people causing 397 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: a ruckus, and people are running out of the store. 398 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. This is not something 399 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: that a US senator or a president can have an 400 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: effect on. So you've got to go out and I'm 401 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: telling you got You can walk in and vote between 402 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: now and Tuesday. You can mail in a ballot, you 403 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: could show up at the voting booth on Tuesday itself, 404 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: all right. So there's three different ways to vote in advance, 405 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: by mail, or day off. And you know you can 406 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: ballot harvest too. Let's get it done, and let's get 407 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: it done and have gas going eliminated on Tuesday. Let's 408 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: not slide through six months of his lies and horse manure. 409 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: Let's end his political career on Tuesday. This is why 410 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: this one line from Gascon from this Channel seven report, 411 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: we're in a much better place today. You know we 412 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: were four years ago. We're in a much better place 413 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: today than we were four years ago. He said that 414 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: this week to a Channel seven reporter they were doing 415 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: a profile on it. We're in a much better place 416 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: than we were four years ago. That's what Guesscon actually thinks. 417 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: That's not just a campaign line. That's not campaign bs. 418 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: He believes that now. That is psycho. As John Tommy 419 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: pointed out to there is an event all the candidates 420 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: are invited in South Los Angeles. It is organizations that 421 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: are made up of victims' families. We had one of 422 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: those women on yesterday, Lawanda, and they invited all twelve candidates. 423 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: There's eleven showing up. There's one not showing up, and 424 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: that's Gascon Gascone. And you know what's interesting about him, 425 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: in a way, he's really authentic. There are a lot 426 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: of politicians who pretend to care, have compassion, to really 427 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: be interested in making your life better, and they fake 428 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: it and they lie. Most of them fake it and lie. 429 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: Gascone has no interest in victims and victims families, really none. 430 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: And he's upfront about it. Through his words and behavior, 431 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: he makes it clear, I don't care if if your 432 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: son got shot and killed. I don't care if you 433 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: lost your child, I don't care if your mother, your husband, 434 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: your wife got attacked in the streets by a criminal 435 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: that I didn't prosecute, that I let out early. I 436 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: don't care. I'm giving that guy a second your third chance, 437 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: or a fifth chance, or a twelfth chance. I care 438 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: about him. I don't care about your problems. Okay, so 439 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: you lost a husband, So you lost a son, a daughter, 440 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: so what. Yeah, so your daughter got raped, your wife 441 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: got raised, so what. Oh yeah, your car got broken into, 442 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: Your stuff is stolen, your favorite restaurant or store closed 443 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: down because of all the thefts. Yeah, I don't care. 444 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: He really doesn't care, and he's upfront about it, and 445 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: he's blowing off all these all these crime victims, their families, 446 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: he's blowing them all off tonight. And he's doing it 447 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: in a black neighborhood, al Hispanic neighborhood on the South Side. 448 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: We talked with the Lawanda Hawkins was her name. It's 449 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: the irony is he claims that the reason that motivates 450 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: him to have justice reform is because too many black 451 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: and brown young men were getting put in prison. It 452 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: was an equity issue. But who are the victims? As 453 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: Lawanda said, it is black and brown and individuals in 454 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: those neighborhoods who are primarily the victims of a lot 455 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: of the crimes. In other neighborhoods, you've got the quality 456 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: of life crimes, the theft, the burglaries, the cars being 457 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: broken into. But it creates an entire city and entire 458 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: county where people are fearful and nervous all the time. 459 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: And you know that alone, that alone is reason enough 460 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: to end Gascoone's career. Why are we walking around nervous 461 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: and fearful? Why, good Lord, most of us are doing 462 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: the right thing every day, and you know we're raising 463 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: our families and going to our jobs, going to work, 464 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: and we're paying a lot of taxes, some of which 465 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: go to Gascone and his crew. Now enough is enough here, 466 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: So no guest gone, no chamarinski. And we told you 467 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: we're endoring sec atomic Tommy and John McKinney, and we 468 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: got to fix things.

Next hour, I want 493 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: to talk about this measure h LA and La City 494 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: again because we're running at time here, and this is 495 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: the one that would give La La a road diet 496 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: on all its major boulevards. Really, it would strip one 497 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 1: lane of traffic in each direction from most of the 498 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: major boulevards in Los Angeles, and it's got to be stopped. 499 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: What infuriated me is an Ala Times headline measure HLA 500 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: pits safety advocates against firefighters, as if firefighters are not 501 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: safety advocates, right, because there's this false, this false issue 502 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: they've created that we have an unusual amount of pedestrian 503 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: deaths in Los Angeles that can be remedied by taking 504 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: away traffic lanes. Well, I have one of the big drivers, 505 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: a story about one of the big drivers of pedestrian 506 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: deaths in front of me. I'll tell you about that, 507 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: and I'll explain this false equivalency that that firefighters are 508 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: the Well it's not a false equivalency, but this idea 509 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,959 Speaker 1: that safety advocates are are on the opposite side of firefighters. 510 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. Firefighters, I think are safety advocates. But that's 511 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: La Sagda el Segunda Times propaganda. We'll get to that 512 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: after three o'clock or we're going to take your calls too. 513 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: I want to hear who's four against massive road diets 514 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: in the city of La I want to hear who 515 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: wants to support this and who's against this? All right, 516 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: here's some transportation stories. You've been on Highway one right, Well, 517 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: they call pH all the way up up the coast. 518 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 4: I think at some point they say one Highway one. 519 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: All right, Well, Highway one, big sir? 520 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, not for a long time. 521 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: Do you hear what happened to this guy? 522 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 4: No? 523 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: There is a resort hotel up in the big area 524 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: called the Post ranch in and I think I've seen it. Oh, 525 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: it's actually a five star hotel. Yeah, it must be 526 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: a nice place. I don't think i've been there, been 527 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: up there a couple of times. Anyway, One of their 528 00:29:54,880 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: employees left work on Sunday never arrived home two days. 529 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: The CHP had their air division flying over from Big 530 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: Sur to carmel looking for the guy. Had an airplane 531 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: circling and they suddenly noticed that there was a crumpled 532 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: car four hundred feet down the side of a cliff. 533 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: Now here's what happened. Sunday night. This guy's driving home 534 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: from work and suddenly a group of deer appeared on 535 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: the road and he swerved hard to avoid hitting the deer. 536 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: Him right, but he flew off the cliff. Yeah, I know, 537 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: and it started tumbling four hundred feet down a cliff 538 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: and he got ejected through the sun roof. Suh, what, 539 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: I don't need that visual survived? 540 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 4: Oh he survived. 541 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just wanted to upset you. 542 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 4: So he saved deer and he survived. 543 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: What a guy? Right? Yeah, he actually was there frantically 544 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: waving a makeshift flag, so even with whatever injuries he had, 545 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: he could still wave the flag and the pilot up 546 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: in the CHP airplane saw it. He has moderate injuries. 547 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: They took him to the hospital. I would imagine he 548 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, broke some bones. But he's in stable condition 549 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: and looks like he's going to survive. I usually usually 550 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: if you get ejected through the through any window or 551 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: the or the sun roof, you didn't have your seat 552 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: belt on, and that's amazing. 553 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 4: If you drop me without wearing a seat. 554 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: Without wearing a seat belt, well, maybe it helped him 555 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: out because he went airborne and didn't actually absorb the girls. 556 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 4: So maybe in this case he would have died. 557 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: He it doesn't say what he glanded on. It doesn't 558 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: say exactly at what point he was ejected either. So now, 559 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: second transportation story, American Airlines flight was going from New 560 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: York City to Spain and it about forty five minutes 561 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: they had to turn around emergency landing in Boston. 562 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 4: Let me guess, is this a Boeing. 563 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: This is a Boeing plane. You are correct, Boeing seven 564 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: to seventy seven. Now, today's Boeing defect is a cracked windshield. 565 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: The plane's twenty three years old and the windsfield cracked, 566 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: and the pilots set out sent out an alert to 567 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: that an alert to emergency, and that means means a 568 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: flight is experiencing major difficulties and a difficult or crash 569 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: landing may be expected. But it turned out it landed 570 00:32:54,120 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: safely without assistance. They're calling it a maintenance issue. Yeah, 571 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: there you go. And uh, it was American Airlines this time, 572 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 1: and the passengers were hearded out of the plane. They 573 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: got hotel thatchers and they were going to depart from 574 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: Madrid this morning or towards Madrid after spending the night 575 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: at a Boston hotel. But these Boeing planes, I think 576 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't think a week has gone by since the 577 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: start of the year where there wasn't something weird with 578 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: a Boeing plane. 579 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 4: It's very stressful to hear about all these planes. 580 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, although if we put it in. 581 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 4: Perspective, think about you know, we have traffic reports every 582 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 4: day with somebody. Yeah, if we crashes. 583 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: If we put things in perspective, we'd be out of jobs. 584 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 4: Forget perspective. It's overrated. 585 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: That's right, we'd be out of work. Okay, we come back. 586 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: Measure h LA. This is a scourge that we're going 587 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: to be voting on on Tuesday or before. If you're 588 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: mail in your ballots or if you go to one 589 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: of those walk in sites, you're ballot harvesting, whatever you're doing. 590 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: Measure HLA will give us a citywide rug diet. It 591 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: will strip lanes from all the major boulevards, all of them. 592 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: Three lanes to two lanes, two lanes to one lane 593 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,759 Speaker 1: in each direction for the sake of bike lanes and 594 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: bus lanes and curbing, and oh my god, it's going 595 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: to create a tremendous amount of traffic. The firefighters are 596 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: against it for obvious reason. The LA Times put out 597 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 1: a headline saying Measure HLA pits safety advocates against firefighters, 598 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: as if firefighters aren't safety advocates. The firefighters are right, 599 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: the safety advocates are full of it. They're using that 600 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: as a cover story, a fake cover story, because I 601 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: have another piece which explains why you're having an increase 602 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: an increase in pedestrian deaths. Start us all out, coming up, 603 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: Debrah Mark Laden the KFI twenty four our newsroom.
