1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Now it's raining again heavy. Now people can't vote big 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: rain here, They're gonna be disenfranchised. Oh yeah, I'm looking 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: at the radar. It's a big band coming across a 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: lot of southern California. I can't vote. I might get wet. Well, 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: either that or hanging out in the wash. You gotta 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: be careful. But I might get wet. Then what's gonna happen? 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: It's a deterrent. Then I'll have to dry myself. We're 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: a place that doesn't get rain all that often, so 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: people make a big deal of it. It's very exciting. 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad we didn't have this crowd when it came 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: time to defeat the British. Jesus wow British Revolutionary War reference. 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: But seriously, what about Hitler and the Germans? I mean, 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: that was a tough crap. We wouldn't been able to 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: meet them either, the Japanese. The Japanese, that's right, we'd 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: lost everybody. We'd lose to the French. We have a 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: voter guide. If you still haven't voted, you mailed in 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: your bellot so you can check it out of camp. 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: I am sixty dot com. We're gonna talk to somebody 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: on our voter guide is running for state controller. Republican 20 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: Lawn heat Chen is going to join us. We talked 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: to him before the primary back in June, and if 22 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: he does win, he would be the first Republican to 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: hold a statewide office position since Schwartzenegger left as governor 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: in January of twenty eleven. The Controller is the chief 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: fiscal officer for the state. So let's get Land heat 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: Chen on the line. Welcome, how are you hey, Great 27 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: to be with you guys. Yeah, good to have you 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: on again. So how are you feeling? May imagine it's 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: really nerve wracking. It's three o'clock on election day, it's 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: hours before the votes come in, and then the voting 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: may They may be counting these votes for a week 32 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: or a month or something. So what's it like being 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: a guy waiting to see what happens. Well, that's the thing. 34 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: It's like, you feel like there's so much that's out 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: of your control, and at the same time, it's like 36 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: you spent the last in my case, the last sixteen 37 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: months or whatever trying to do everything you can, and 38 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: now you realize, you know, it's kind of the results 39 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 1: out of your hands. So it's a little bit nerve wracking. 40 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: But at the same time, look, I feel like we've 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: run a campaign that we wanted to run. We focused 42 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: on all of the challenges we have a state, the 43 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: fact that we can't manage our money well, the fact 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: that we keep sending good money after bad and I 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: think people want transparency and accountability. That's what I stand for, 46 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: and so I'm hopeful, you know. But at this point, 47 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: it's like all I can do is sit here and 48 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, stare at my watch. I guess tell 49 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: people what a controller does and why your philosophy would 50 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: be better than your opponents, Like, what is it that 51 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: you're looking to do? Because we still got five hours 52 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: worth of voting left, and people, I know your race, 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: you know this. Your race is one of those races 54 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: people are going to look at and say, oh, I 55 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: don't know these people. I don't know what a controller 56 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: even does. So just tell them what it is that 57 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: you would do and do differently. Well, the controller's job 58 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: fundamentally is to ensure we have accountability for every single 59 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: dollar we spend as a state. And interestingly, enough is 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: actually the only state where we cannot get access to 61 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: our state's checkbook, so to speak. We can't go online 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: and figure out how they spend the money. Even in Illinois, 63 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: where they've got some former governors sitting in prison, they 64 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: actually have more transparency than we have here. So the 65 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: controller really is the person who can make sure that 66 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,119 Speaker 1: we answer questions like where's all that money on homelessness going, 67 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: where's all the money for our public schools actually going? 68 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: Why did we send thirty billion dollars in money to 69 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: fraudsters in the unemployment insurance program? So this is really 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: kind of think of this as like our chief watchdog 71 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: of our tax dollars. And how a might be different 72 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: from my opponent. Well, the answer is pretty simple. There. 73 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: You know, she's part of the establishment. She's part of 74 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: the same one party monopoly that runs Sacramento. She's not 75 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: interested really in giving us accountability. She's kind of interested 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: in collaborating and rubber stamping whatever the other folks there do. 77 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: And so I think it's that independence. I think it's 78 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: my background. If somebody who's spent time in policy but 79 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: also in business and academics, I think I've got a background. 80 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm coming at this from the perspective of someone who 81 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: understands finances, who understand why it is that we have 82 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: all this inflation going on now. I just think that 83 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: the difference in our backgrounds and how we're situated, that's 84 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: the biggest advantage I have going into this. And it's 85 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: why every single newspaper in the state of California, every 86 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: single one endorsed me. Not happen for a Republican in 87 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: like fifty years. So I think the contrast is clear. 88 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: Now you've got the Times endorsement along with the Howard 89 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: Jarvis Taxpayers endorsement, which means something to us and to 90 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: our listeners. I think you also look at this is 91 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: it's not really a partisan position. As controller. You're a 92 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: watchdog for the taxpayers and that's people of all parties 93 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: and persuasions. Right, Yes, that's exactly right. I mean I 94 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: don't think you should approach the stop job ideologically. And 95 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: by the way, that's another point of differentiation between me 96 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: and my opponent. She comes at this from the perspective 97 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: of how do we make the controller's office more ideological? 98 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: I think, how do we make the controller's office more competent? 99 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: And that's really my focus, And so yeah, it's not 100 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: a partisan thing. And I haven't approached to it as that, 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I think you 102 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: do want a controller whose interests are independent from the 103 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: party in power. I think it's that you have somebody 104 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: who's got a record of being able to look past 105 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: party and just solve problems. And that's what I think 106 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: I bring. Let's talk about, just as an example, what 107 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: is the unemployment payments that went out the thirty billion 108 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: in fraud? Right for that edd the Employment Development Department. 109 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: It's a terrible name for it. Really, it's the Unemployment 110 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: Office and during COVID they sent out hundreds of billions 111 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: of dollars massive fraud. We've heard the story if you 112 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: were a controller at the time, is that what could 113 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: you have done? Could you have done anything to stop it, 114 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: or done something to alert the state in the middle 115 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: of it happening, something to prevent it? What kind of power, 116 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: what kind of effect could you have had? Yeah, I 117 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: mean absolutely, I think the first thing we should have 118 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: done is to throw off some red flags when we 119 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: saw that there were payments going out of state, for example, 120 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: that you had applications coming in from out of state, 121 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: out of the country. Even I mean, we now know 122 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: some of that money went to Russia and China, and 123 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,559 Speaker 1: you would think that the state would be able to flag, 124 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: for example, hey, you know there's an application for benefits 125 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: it's coming from out of state. Or you know, here's 126 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: another one, guy's coming from state prison. We ought to 127 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: be able to figure out what the address for San 128 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: Quentin is and maybe put like a red flag in 129 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: the system, like, oh, hey, the guys applying for benefits 130 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: from San Quentin, maybe that's a problem. So I think 131 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: the most important thing, first of all, is yes, at 132 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: the time, we should have been able to have the 133 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: technology in place to at least cause us to ask questions. 134 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, it's a pandemic, people need 135 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 1: their benefits. Whatever I mean. I think that's all important stuff. 136 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's the job 137 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: of the controller take a look at this and say, 138 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: you know what, we've got to make sure we've got 139 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: some systems in place to protect taxpayers too. It's not 140 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: all about just getting the benefits out of the door 141 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: as quickly as we can. So the first thing is 142 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: I think a technology issue, but the second thing is 143 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: just willing be able to be able to call out 144 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: the Governor. I think the one challenge that we had 145 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: during the pandemic is that nobody was ever willing to 146 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: ask Gavin Newsom like, hey, are you are you sure 147 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: about this? Or are we sure this is the right 148 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: policy prescription for right now? Nobody was ever there in 149 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: a position to ask those questions. And I think just 150 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: having the bully pulpit being able to ask those questions 151 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: and be critical and saying, listen, what are the results 152 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: we're getting for this? That certainly could have happened during 153 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: the process, and at the very least people could have 154 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: been aware of the problem well before we were actually 155 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: aware of it. And by the time we all did 156 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: know that all this money had gone out the door, 157 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: it was too late. The money was out the door. 158 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: We're not getting it back. So while we'd like to 159 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: think we can go clost some of that money back, 160 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: the reality is we can It's gone. And so you 161 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: have to be more vigilant when the money's going out 162 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: the door. And that applies not just to the EDD program, 163 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: but to lots of other programs as well. What kind 164 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: of power would you have in this office besides issuing reports? 165 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: Are doing audience well? I do think the audit power 166 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: is important because it does allow you really to get 167 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: in there and dig and see what's happening. But beyond that, 168 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: the controller has a couple of extraordinary powers as well. 169 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: First of all, you do have the ability if there 170 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: is spending happening that's illegal, or spending that's happening in 171 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: violation of state law, the controller can actually decline to 172 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: make a pay. And I'll give you an example. A 173 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, the legislature, you know, they're supposed 174 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: to produce a balance budget, and they didn't actually produce 175 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: a balance budget. So the legist of the controllers that, hey, 176 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: listen to legislators until you produce a balance budget, I'm 177 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: not paying you. I'm not paying your salary. And that 178 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: got him in line real quick. Within about a week, miraculously, 179 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: they produce a balance budget. So the controller does have 180 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: the ability to go in and actually say, Okay, if 181 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: something is happening in contravention of state law, or if 182 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: there's some practice that's just shady, the controller can say, hey, 183 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: wait a second, guys, before I cut this check, I 184 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: want some questions answered. Now. You can't do it all 185 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: the time, you can't do it with everything you can't 186 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: just decide, hey, I don't feel like spending money on this, 187 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: but you can use the power of the office in 188 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: a way to protect taxpayers, to make sure we're getting 189 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: our money's worth. And I think that those are important things. Well, 190 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: I voted for you today and I vote it on. 191 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: Everybody who hasn't voted yet will vote for you for 192 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: California Controller. It's land heat Chen, and we wish you 193 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: the best of luck. I hope you win. Thanks so much. 194 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. All right, I'm the voter guide. That's right, 195 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: And again it's something. But there are no Republicans in 196 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: statewide office and hasn't been for years. So if lanhei 197 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: Chen does pull out the controllers, at least somebody's there 198 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: that might have a little different point of view, particularly 199 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: protecting the taxpayers and all the ridiculous spending. And I thought, diversity, 200 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: We do need diversity. You could win some money when 201 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: we return. We have another keyword. That's the cash Inflation 202 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: Bonus contest on KFI AM six forty kf I live 203 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. All right, some poles will 204 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: close in a couple of states four o'clock our time, 205 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: these are states with some close races for the senator, 206 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: governor or something. We'll give you any results on that 207 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: that begin to come in. As for California, the post 208 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: don't close until eight, and we may not know things, 209 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: especially in tight races like the mayor's race. Four weeks. 210 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: There's already results coming in from Indiana. Okay, nothing important, 211 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: but I don't remember Indiana being in the mix as 212 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: an important state house racist. Oh great, it's very exciting. Yeah, 213 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: that's very big. If the Republicans don't take control of 214 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: the House, though, that would be a chockra of the 215 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: night I send. It's still kind of a question now 216 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: it's impossible for the Republicans not to win the House. It, 217 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: especially after seeing the exit polls and the chart I 218 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: saw last night, says at all. I went back twenty 219 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: years presidents mid term, they're approval rating what happened with 220 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: the House, and every time an approval rating, like for 221 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: they lose a bunch of house. Yeah, you gotta take 222 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: it again, gotta take it out on somebody. It is 223 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: not different this time. It is not different this time. 224 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: Reporters at the Elsagundo times because of a portion or 225 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: the attack on Paul Pelosi and the attack on DEMOC. 226 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: I think of Danuary fixed. It is not. And most 227 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: of the exit polls are saying people are worked up 228 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: over inflation the economy in general. That's what usually wins out. Yeah, 229 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: you know that is true of the Republicans and the 230 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,599 Speaker 1: Independence and there is just as many independents in the 231 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: country as the two parties. But you know, I've seen 232 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: these polls fly by, But among Democratic voters themselves, the 233 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: two big worries for them are abortion and guns and democracy, 234 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: And inflation was down at fifteen percent of being a 235 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: prime issue. And I'm looking at that, and I'm thinking, 236 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: don't these people pay bills? Aren't Aren't they paying? Like 237 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: that's right, the Democrats in this state, you're paying six 238 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon. I don't understand they're so passionate for 239 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 1: these Democrats, which means they think these people have a 240 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: lot of power. Yet look at the condition of Los 241 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: Angeles with massive amount of homelessness, huge increase in crime, 242 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: gas at six bucks a gallon. Well, you're so repped 243 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: up for these guys. You must think they matter, right, 244 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: otherwise why would you care so much? Well, then look 245 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 1: at look at all the look at look at the 246 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: report card, look at the measuring stick here, it's a disaster. 247 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: Why do you keep voting for them? Again? I don't know, 248 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: say by that's to me, that's a cult. It's it's 249 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: a religion. It's a cult when you no longer accept 250 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: objective evidence that's right in front of your eyes. If 251 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: Rick Carusoe wins the LA Mayor's race, people have finally 252 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: woken up. The other thing that helped is that he 253 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: had a lot of money to really incredibly raise his 254 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: name recognition. That also works. Yeah, but isn't isn't that 255 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: crazy that you'd actually have to spend one hundred million 256 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: dollars to people away you want to do to win 257 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: a bare majority when the conditions are what they are. 258 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: It would be different if everything was normal right, things 259 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: were like they were even ten years ago. But the 260 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: conditions are really bad out there, and everybody says they're bad. 261 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: There was a there was another story in the New 262 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: York Times this morning about how in Los Angeles everybody's 263 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: in a really foul booed. Well, if everybody's in a 264 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: really foul mood for the obvious reasons, then why isn't 265 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: there going to be a massive change. Then why why 266 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: is everybody even even bothering to vote if you're going 267 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: to vote for the same tired, corrupt characters that that 268 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: that created this mess. It's their policies that directly created 269 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: this mess in Los Angeles. Well, I love. On the 270 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: national level is like nothing seems to matter because somebody 271 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: wins the presidency and two years later, almost without fail, 272 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: at the mid terms, they lose control of the House, 273 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: the Senate, whatever, because people always turn on the incumbent. 274 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: The nation's never happy. It's albody's going the wrong, no, no, 275 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: and then there's there, there's they're all just a bunch 276 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: of idiots. Yeah, and you know what, they don't really 277 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: control the economy as much as to think we do. 278 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: Collectively speaking, we do, and you just can't really predict 279 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: what that's going to go. Although I do think you're right, 280 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: Biden definitely overspent. They handed out Trump handed out money too, Yes, 281 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: yeah he did, he did, and then then Biden handed 282 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: out out more month. You see some of them. Then 283 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: the deficit spending when Trump was president town Mutch and 284 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: then went we were That was the thing I disliked 285 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: the most about him, But he managed the way he 286 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: managed his casinos. Yeah right, He's always on the break 287 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: of bankruptcy. And in fact, if I remember, I think 288 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: he wandered out loud if the country could declare bankruptcy 289 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: and just get out from under all the debts. I'm 290 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: pretty sure he brought that up one day because I 291 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: remember reading that. Everybody was aghast. It's like, no, you 292 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: can't do that. That would like send all the world 293 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: markets into a panic. Well, he voted today. He voted 294 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: for Ron De Santis for Florida governor. You may forget that. 295 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: Trump actually votes in Florida. And supposedly in about a 296 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: week they'll be an announcement if he's running for president. 297 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: They had to talk him out of announcing it today 298 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: today I heard about that. Yeah, he wanted to do that. 299 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: He wanted to pre empty election coverage. But then clearly 300 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: he's running because it wouldn't be much of an announcement. No, 301 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna run. He's gonna run, and he's trying to 302 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: intimidate the Santis from he wants Santis not to run. Yeah, 303 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: so because he's afraid of the Santis. You notice he 304 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: didn't care about the other guys He ran again sixteen seventeen. Guys, 305 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: last time he didn't tell any of him not to run. 306 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: The Santist he's telling him not to run because he's 307 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: much afraid of him. Well, they've kind of been allies 308 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: in the past, and there's a similarity in terms of 309 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: what they talk about and what they believe. There's just 310 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: temperament's different, I know. But there's only one job. There's 311 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: there is only one job. And there are people that 312 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: said that it could be really ugly primary fight if 313 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: they do run, because Trump always has that thirty percent 314 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: of Republicans that just you know, they're sworn to him. Yeah, 315 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: they're going to make this ugly. And again he's created 316 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: a religion, He's created his version of a political religious cult. Yeah, 317 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: but you know, maybe he's just he should just retire. Yeah, 318 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: I think everybody over seventy five off the stage. Yeah. 319 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: Politico did a funny story. Well it was about Trump 320 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: and descent, but it was also about as Biden continues 321 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: to slip, particularly people are seen in on the campaign 322 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: trail last few weeks are actually gonna play play a 323 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: couple of clips later in the show of more Biden oops, 324 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: and it's everyone's thinking about twenty twenty four. In the 325 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: inner White House circle, it's all they're discussing is what's 326 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: the opening. When does he step out? If the Democrats 327 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: lose control of the House and Senate Biden may decide 328 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: late next year, that's it. He's running. Nobody cares about 329 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: the condition of the country. It's it's all about their 330 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: future political everybody's been babbling about this mid term election 331 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: for over a year and then tomorrow starts the prattling 332 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: about the presidential election in two years. But the actual state, well, 333 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: like it's like the state of the city, the state 334 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: of the state, the nation. Nobody cares. Just it's all 335 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: maneuvering for power. All right, when we come back, Oh, 336 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: we have a few minutes to bring you up to 337 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: date on the Harvey Weinstein trial. Oh gee, that's been 338 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, well, yeah, apparently we had some rather 339 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: lurid testimony in court from one of the accusers about 340 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 1: Harvey's genitalia more testicle talk. It looked like it had 341 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: been chopped off and sewn back on, according to one witness. 342 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: But the other point that the defense is trying to make, 343 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: which is worth spending a few minutes on these accusers 344 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: came back around, got in touch with Harvey Weinstein after 345 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: the alleged sex assaults. Yeah, why would they do that? Yeah, 346 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: everybody's trying to spend that all right, more coming up, 347 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: John kf I that refinds it very funny when you 348 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: said chopped off and sall that's very sexy. That image 349 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: is just wow. It must have been. It must have 350 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: been a site. Fox News Exit Paul says fifty seven 351 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: percent of voters say that Biden does not have the 352 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: mental capability to serve effectively. Fifty seven percent of all 353 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: vote yes, No, it's not a bipartisan that's a bipartis. 354 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: That's a lancelide. It's almost sixty percent. It's a lancelide. 355 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: Americans think he's lost his mind. It's not coming back. 356 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: And apparently the Russians are hoping the Republicans win because 357 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: they want everybody at their throats in Washington, d C. 358 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: With the split between the White House and Congress, they 359 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: think all they'll all be tearing each other apart, so 360 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: they're rooting for that too. Apparently they just admitted that 361 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 1: they did interfere at US elections, but I don't know 362 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: how though. Nobody ever explains how Facebook ads they told 363 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: you that so white. They put out a lot of 364 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: those ads that made people think that Hillary Clinton is 365 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: that interference part of pizza gate or that what's that 366 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: is that? Really? No, it's not really interference. That's more 367 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: spam and there's there's like eleven million ads runing. No, 368 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: I think I had to hack the voting machines. Then 369 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: it's interference. Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. Nope, I'm 370 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: looking for that they change the votes, not that they 371 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: ran more ads, because with all the millions of ads running, 372 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: how would you notice a few thousand and more? All Right, Well, 373 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: it's another day in the trial of Harvey Weinstein, the 374 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: former big Hollywood producer movie executive, was convicted in New 375 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: York of sex assault charges. Faces a long prison term there. 376 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: But they dragged him out here to face for Jane. 377 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: Does we do know that Jane Doe number four is 378 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: the wife of Gavin Newsom Jennifer Sybel. She's not on 379 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: the stand yet. What we have still going on, it 380 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: looks like is Jane Doe number two and apparently her 381 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: testimony this week it was yesterday. Well, we knew this 382 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: was going to happen the accusers were going to be 383 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: asked specifics about the body of the man that they 384 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: say sexually assaulted them. And this part isn't a shock 385 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: because we knew this already that he his genitalia is deformed. 386 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: Jane Doe number two did say it was disgusting and 387 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: it looked like it had been chopped off and sewn 388 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: back on. I really didn't see a full sack. I 389 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: literally a full sack. I just saw a penis. Now 390 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: we've told you before that his testicles were implanted into 391 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: his thigh, reassigned, relocated, relocated, a testicle relocation, witness protection. 392 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: So the prosecutor did this. He wants the joy to 393 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: know that these women did see this man naked at least, 394 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: and they can talk about his abnormalities. That's what they're doing. Well, 395 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: that that began because of an infection. That's why they 396 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: ended up in his thigh. Yes, And the prosecutor told 397 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: the jury that in the opening statements, they don't know 398 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: how he got that infection. Huh, No, you get an 399 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: infection where they have to remove your testicles and then 400 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: put him in your thigh, like what exactly? Because I 401 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: want to know not to get that they have to 402 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: separate him. I mean that sounds like yang great, yeah, 403 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: I mean when they have to separate your testicles from 404 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: your bass, like, well, geez, who were you sleeping with? 405 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: What I found amazing about this witness Jane Don't number two. 406 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: She said she was sexually assaulted at the Montage Hotel 407 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills now called the Maybourne almost ten years 408 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: ago February twenty thirteen. She had another woman named Claudia 409 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: Sealinus meant Winstein at the hotel to talk about a script. 410 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: At some point during the meeting, she follows Weinstein into 411 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: a hotel room where she thought when she thought was 412 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: a conference room. Sealinus closes the door and disappears. Jane 413 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: Don't number two said, oh, I thought that was my 414 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: new friend, but she's gone already. I thought that much, 415 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: my dear friend. Oh, she's left me alone with Harvey Weinstein. Uh. 416 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: You know what happened next is priceless. She couldn't believe 417 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: how fast Weinstein took off his clothes and suddenly I'm 418 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: looking at this big guy naked. So I laughed nervously 419 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: and thought, no, no, no, this can't be happening kind 420 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: of thing Weinstein's response was, this is what actresses do. 421 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: This is how I know you can act if you 422 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: perform for me, right, if you could feign passion for this. 423 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: So he begins touching her, he's still dressed. If you 424 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: could pretend you love my obese body with my deformed testicles, 425 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: and I think what happens with his? He starts touching 426 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: her and she kind of resists, so then he just 427 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: pleasures himself into a towel that seems to be what 428 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: he does, or a potted plant, kind of squinting. Oh 429 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: that was somebody else, wasn't it. That was a woman 430 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: in New York. Yeah, A Weinstein did the potted plant. Yeah, 431 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: I remember that story of it so long ago. I 432 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: couldn't remember who the person was. He was all worked 433 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: up and frustrated and finally left it in the potted plant. 434 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: Plant immediately died. She doesn't think his hand and ever 435 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: touched her in any of her private parts. He did 436 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: it into the towel and left. She couldn't believe it. 437 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: I called my friends, got a hold of them by 438 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: messaged them, and she drew a picture of his private 439 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: parts for LAPD, which were displayed on a screen in 440 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: court for jurors to see. That's nice. Is it worth 441 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: being an actress to deal with this? Now? The defense 442 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: side of this is trying to get these women to 443 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: talk about, not all of them, but some of them 444 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: why they kept in touch with Weinstein after the alleged assault. 445 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: The question goes to, well, what really happened and did 446 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: you get over it? And what's the deal here if 447 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: you continued to communicate with your sex assault, your rapist, 448 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: what is that about? Well, one of them said that 449 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: she thought it was a chance to confront him years later. 450 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: And that's the one, by the way, who said that 451 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: happened again after she went to confront him. Instead, he 452 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: made a move on her pleasure himself again in front 453 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: of her without her consent. Yeah, you're you're you really 454 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: think that he cares if you confront him. He really 455 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: hid no control though, or because he got away with 456 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: this for so long it was just a routine to him. 457 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing, it is. I mean, it isn't 458 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: if they put a woman in a room and his 459 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: closes her off in like ten seconds and he's already 460 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: grabbing her and grabbing himself and there's no there's no 461 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: lead up. No, I no, it is some sort of 462 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: weird psycho compulsion he has, like he's just got no 463 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: restraint at all, and these women are just so trusting 464 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: and they'll even go back to him. It's it's it's 465 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, people really find each other, don't they. And 466 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: that's how powerful men, because people think, well, somebody with 467 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: this much money and power in Hollywood, wouldn't dare just 468 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: be a common rapist? I must be in think about 469 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: it if if you were and I. When we were 470 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: starting out right, we had an offer of a big job. 471 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: Let's say in Los Angeles. We met the program director 472 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: and he said, oh, come up to my hotel room, 473 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: and he suddenly like dropped his pants and started massaging 474 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: himself and making a ronotize. I would laugh first, but yeah, sorry, 475 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: that's what guys do. Kidding. When we come back and 476 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: Weinstein took off his clothes, like was his candid camera. 477 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: I I don't know. I'm skeptical of some women sometimes 478 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: about this stuff. That's all but there. And apparently in 479 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: the New York trial they brought up the same thing 480 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: and it didn't matter. He was still convicted. He had 481 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: you know what, he's one of these guys that that 482 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: there should be some kind of torture for him while 483 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: he's in prison, not just sitting in prison, but something 484 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: horrible that he could suffer every day, like death is 485 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: too good for him. Now he's not in good shape. 486 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: He's only seventy and he's like he's ninety already, So 487 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how much long he's gonna be able 488 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: to hang on all We got more coming. Other prisoners 489 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: make fun of him over his deformity, his reassignment. They 490 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: might relocation. It's very unusual. Johnny Ken, caf I Am 491 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app. Well, poles 492 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: are going to start closing more than they have. A 493 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: couple of states partially closed their poles. This hour, we'll 494 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: talk about the latest election results. In the four o'clock hour, 495 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: you'll have another chance. It's some money. There's a key 496 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: word that you need to obtain and you need to 497 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: find out how to enter it for your chance to 498 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: win some money coming up around for twenty. On the 499 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: John and Ken Show yesterday, we had mentioned that the 500 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: Houston Astros had a World Series victory parade, and during 501 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: met parade, US Senator Ted Cruz got hit well. At 502 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: the time we thought it was beer hard Seltzer and 503 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: the cans were full, Oh was full. One can missed him. 504 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: The other one did hit him in the forearm. We 505 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: have learned. Ah, I see he did not need any treatment. 506 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: It was no real injury. He needs treatment. But the 507 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: man who threw the cans as Joseph are As Sidna 508 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: da Kono Diacono, thirty three years old. He made his 509 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: court appearance today bond of forty thousand dollars. The public 510 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: defender was arguing that the aluminum cans did not beat 511 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: the requirements to be considered deadly weapons. But as I mentioned, 512 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: they were full. No, you could kill somebody you throw 513 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: it hard enough. Well, isn't that why when you're in 514 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: stadiums they sometimes open the cans for you so that 515 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: they're not full. And well, yeah, you can't bring in full, right, 516 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: but even if you buy a canned beverage, they open it. Yeah. Right, 517 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 1: So if you try to hurl at some of the 518 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: content I guess would fall out. Yeah, it's not a 519 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: full blown heavy weapon. Is that a Is that a 520 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: halftier charge because he's a US senator, the assault on 521 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: a federal official that doesn't a story I'm looking at 522 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: doesn't say that specific. The guy who act Paul Pelosi 523 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: with a hammer got a special extra charge because it 524 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: was a family member of a federal official. Yeah, politician, 525 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: he's got a GPS. He has to stay a thousand 526 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: feet away from Ted Cruz at working at home and 527 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: avoid making any threats against How many of those hard 528 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: seltzers did he have? He's got a nose piercing Looking 529 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: at his mugshot, he does got a little ring to 530 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: his nose, his left nostril. And what what? What weird 531 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: little decorative quirk makes you judge somebody the quickest decorative quirk. 532 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: There's a lot of weird stuff that people are now 533 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: displaying in public. What's the one thing? If you see that, 534 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: it's like, you don't think good thoughts? Huh, I don't 535 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: know what to me, it's it's it's nose rings that 536 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: goes through the septum, you know, the middle part of 537 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: the nose. Yeah, this one's not the mills is a 538 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: side nostril. I can't look at that. It grosses me out. 539 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: All I could think of, especially if it's a waiter 540 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: or a waitress and they're talking food and all I 541 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: could think of how much snot builds up on that 542 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: thing during the day, like it like you sneeze, I 543 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: mean doesn't that It really grosses me out. Yeah, something 544 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: in the ear, you know, I can take. He has 545 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: admitted that he was an idiot, and he's sorry, is 546 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: all he said, apparently, and he's drunk. Ted Cruz fired back, 547 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: thank you for the police response, and also saying I 548 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: should be glad that this clown who threw his white 549 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: claw had a noodle for an arm, because I guess 550 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: the that's the brand white claw. Yes, white claws. Hard Seltzer. 551 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,719 Speaker 1: I saw that headline and I thought somebody else had 552 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: thrown something. He cruised. No, it's white closet, it's ever 553 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: throwing body parts or I'm not up on Hard Seltzer. 554 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: And another great story today comes from all where else 555 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: but Florida. Apparently at a TSA checkpoint in Florida. This 556 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: is the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. And we always 557 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: mocked t SA agents because they probably missed a lot 558 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: of dangerous stuff going through the screening devices. But they 559 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: pulled a bag off the line and they wanted to 560 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: take a closer look. What was inside was a raw chicken. Well, 561 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: that wasn't it. Inside the raw chicken was a gun. 562 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: Nice try. Somebody tried to smuggle a gun through the 563 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: baggage screening station inside a raw chicken. The problem with 564 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: that is the chicken's gonna get attention, right. I think 565 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: they put in a plastic bag. But I guess whoever 566 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: saw the outline of it just thought it was too unusual. 567 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: There's no reason to try to smuggle a raw chicken, 568 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: so I would think there's probably sounds unhealthy. Yeah, I mean, 569 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, the guy's not cooking that right. Exactly it's 570 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: gonna be said, is spending hours unrefrigerated, so he's not 571 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: landing and cooking it. Because I'm sure they sell chicken, 572 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, down the road from wherever he's going. It's 573 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: his important chicken. It was the best he's ever seen 574 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: or tasted. You wanted to bring back home to his family. 575 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: I would have guessed. I would have guessed like bags 576 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: of cocaine or something or something like that. Some drug 577 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: smuggling in there, That's what you would think. And dare 578 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: the TSA agent to stick their hand up there. All 579 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: they're saying is that apparently was an international traveler who 580 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: apparently was trying to take that gun on board somewhere 581 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: and doesn't know that those those machines are X ray machines, 582 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: and then it's gonna look like a gun inside the 583 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: dead chicken. But how many times do you read those 584 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: stories where they test those TSA screening things, And so 585 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: much as you like to say, how do we know 586 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: how many guys have gotten through with dangerous stuff? Yeah, 587 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: but putting it into in the chicken highlights it. I 588 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: would say something if you hide it with a lot 589 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,239 Speaker 1: of other junk inside a regular suitcase the guy's board, right, 590 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: that's how it gets through because the TSA agent's not 591 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: paying attention. You look at thousands of bags going by. 592 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: You can't look at each one, but all of a sudden, 593 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: it's like, holy crap, that's a chicken. Well, now you're 594 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: gonna notice, you're gonna see the gun. So far this year, 595 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: seven hundred guns have been found in airport security in Florida. Oh, 596 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm getting an emergency alert flash flood warning in the 597 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: area until around four forty five pm. This is a 598 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: dangerous and life threatening situation. Not attempt to travel unless 599 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: you're fleeing an area subject to flooding. We're undoing a 600 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Should we stop the show and leave? Yeah, 601 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. We're four floors up so that would 602 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: be a hell of a flight if we got affected. 603 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: Let's all go out, Let's have a late lunch. Be 604 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: careful when you go to the garage tonight. That could 605 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: be Oh all right boy. And you know what now 606 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: people are not going to vote. They should have voted beforehand. 607 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: Then we've known the weather for a long time. There's 608 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: four hours left and John's right, this will deter the 609 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: remaining vote. Hope. It's a lot of Karen Bass people. 610 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: All right, we got more coming up.
