00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: gonna talk with Steve Gregory. Now. There's another anti police

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: group called Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, and they're putting together

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: a database on the Internet so that you could track

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: any LAPD officer by name, along with a picture and

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: other information. And let's get Steve on to see what

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: this is about. Steve, I said, let's get Steve on

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: to see what this is about. That would do you? Yes, Hi, Steve, Yeah,

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: what's that about? Gentlemen? Yeah, this is the second organization.

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: I think people have forgotten it. Black Lives Matter was

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: actually the first organization a few years ago, back in

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty that is doing very similar efforts to expose

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the personal information of officers and deputies in La County.

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: This is an effort by this Stop LAPD Spying Coalition.

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: It's an organization that's been around for a few years

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: and their whole purpose is to what they say is

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: expose information about officers in the LAPD to empower community

23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: members to hold the LAPD accountable. They're going so far

24
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: as to getting information through public records requests like name, rank, position, assignment,

25
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: date of hire, and the photograph as you mentioned at

26
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: the top. But what they want to do is they

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: want to go a little bit further. They also want

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: to get the height and weight of these officers. And

29
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: what they want to do is build a database so

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: that if someone encounters an officer in the field, if

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: it's a traffic stop or or something on a sidewalker

32
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: at a home, they can cross reference at officer to

33
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: the database and then they can learn more about their officer,

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: presumably to either fire, will complain, a lawsuit, or something else.

35
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: But they also providing the department email for each of

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: these officers, and they're using their serial numbers, which is

37
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: different from their badge numbers, and they also want their

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: badge numbers, and they also want the identities of undercover

39
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: officers as well. They say this is really the only

40
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: way to hold LAPD accountable. So this is this seems

41
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: like terrorism here. I mean, they can have all their

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: goody good reasons for doing this, but really what it

43
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: is to intimidate, and they're they're gonna rile up some

44
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: some wack jobs who might kill these cops, ambush them

45
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: in some way, maybe you know, at their homes. That's

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: what this is about, is to make the cops feel fearful. Well,

47
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: this is tantamount to the term doxing. I think you

48
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: guys are familiar with doxing, something that's kind of created

49
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: a few years ago as well, and that's that is

50
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: sort of the effort to put someone's personal information, their

51
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: home address, information about their families, things like that on

52
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: social media. And then that's what happens people on social media,

53
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: they end up at these people's homes. They protest, or

54
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: they'll hassle, or they'll intimidate or stock And yeah, you're right,

55
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: this is a problem. And even back then when Black

56
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Lives Matter, LA was doing this very similar thing with

57
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: the deputies of La County Shaf's department. They were putting

58
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: out personal address, personal information about each of the deputies

59
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: involved in any kind of a use of force. Again

60
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: in their minds, saying that this equalizes the playing field.

61
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: It gives everyone else an opportunity to know who are

62
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: the people out there involved in these uses of force.

63
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: But they're putting out bait for the truly unhinged to

64
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: take action, maybe violent. Right. So, in talking to the

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: LAPD about it on an official scale, they would not

66
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: offer up any kind of an opinion because they are

67
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: being sued by this organization. This stopped LAPD spying, and

68
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: the actual website is called Watch the Watchers. That's sort

69
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: of their effort. But the LAPD is petinly aware of it.

70
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: When I reached out to folks this morning, they're like, listen,

71
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: we'd love to tell you what's going on, but we

72
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: can't comment publicly because of the lawsuits. Now. Members of

73
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: the police union, on the other hand, have the same

74
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: sentiment that you expressed a few moments ago. Now, you know,

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: in one TV news story here they quote a Black

76
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: Lives Matter member and I'm wondering, considering it's been well

77
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: documented what Black Lives Matter here in LA did with

78
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: a lot of the donated money. I don't understand why

79
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: people in the media are taking this group seriously. Here

80
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: they spent millions of dollars buying a mansions all over

81
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: the place from here to a Canada. So I don't

82
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on there. They're constantly being presented

83
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: as a legitimate organization. This is a terrorist move here

84
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: against the cops. The money has all evaporated and reappeared

85
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: as wealthy holmes. I mean, is everybody still tiptoeing around them?

86
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: A great question. They haven't had anything really big lately,

87
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: any kind of an effort or planned e vand of

88
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: any kind that I can recall. Recently, they sent out

89
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: a couple of press releases about, you know, announcing a

90
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: lawsuit or announcing some sort of complaint against law enforcement

91
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. But they haven't had anything big lately.

92
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Now this other group to stop LPD Spying group. They're

93
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: not affiliated with BLM, though they have both worked together

94
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: on similar efforts and protests and whatnot. But I don't

95
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: know much about the Stop LPD Spying Coalition other than

96
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: they really are I'm thinking of the name and wondering

97
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: what that means. They believe that the cops spy on everybody. Yeah,

98
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: and so they were also one of the groups behind

99
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: not are you know, going against the LAPD using drones

100
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: for surveillance and for patrol, and they had to give

101
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: away the drones. I mean, they give away these these

102
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: drones that were worth tens of thousands of dollars, these

103
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: very special drones, and they could have really helped solve

104
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: some crimes. I don't understand Wacco groups says, give away

105
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: the drones. So the cops fold and give them away.

106
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: Why don't they just say no, we're not, We're not

107
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: giving them away. As we've as we've pointed out many

108
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: times before, the LAPD is a as a different institution

109
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: as the La County Sheriff's Department. When you have an

110
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: elected official running one agency, they have a lot more

111
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: latitude to say those kinds of things as a chief

112
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: who is appointed by the mayor and the city council.

113
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I think most people want the cops to

114
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: have drones. I know, they're not flying a drone into

115
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: maya backyard. There's nothing amazing how much surveillance has been

116
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: able to help us solve crimes and identify people. Now,

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: just camera a lot that. You know. The biggest use

118
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: of drones, a lot of it in tactical situations are

119
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: for barricade suspects that's one of the biggest reasons. And

120
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: they actually talked about the effectiveness of the drone during

121
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: the San Bernardino shooting. Remember when the husband and wife

122
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: were finally confronted on that bridge and that shoot out,

123
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: they were able to use it drone to get in

124
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: there to find out what was going on. Do you

125
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: know who's financing this group? No, no idea other than

126
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: it's a grassroots organization. Well, it'd probably be funding from

127
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: the usual suspects, you know, the usual kind of groups

128
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: that sundas grassroots organization. But well they're complaining in this story, Steve,

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: there's this Hommed Khan of Stop LAPD Spying coalition that

130
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: LAPD they constantly cover their badges. They won't give out

131
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: any information about them, So now we have to post

132
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: it up for people to find in the database. I mean,

133
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: is that necessarily true? From your experience what had happened

134
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: And there was an incident during the twenty twenty civil

135
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: unrest downtown where both deputies and LAPD A lot of

136
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: them were covering their badges because they didn't want to

137
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: be docked. There wasn't there was problems at that time.

138
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: They had already been identified because here, it's not really

139
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: as much about going after the officers. The officers are

140
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: trying to protect their family and that's really what this

141
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: is about. Well, I'm glad you bought that example, because

142
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: that's a big protest. Those are activists that want to

143
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: know who you are. But I'm talking about every day

144
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: when police maybe pull over a car, they're not hiding

145
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: their badge. No, no, no no, And those those were

146
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: very I guess those circumstances were completely different in twenty

147
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: twenty because of the nature what was going on. Remember,

148
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: these were all anti police organizations that were baiting the cops,

149
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: and then when the cops would detain them or have

150
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: to use sporce to get them under compliance, then they

151
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: were filing lawsuits and they wanted to know badge numbers,

152
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: and they wanted to be able to get the game.

153
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: The game is to create to create a ruckuss the

154
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: police have to do their job, and then they use

155
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: that against the police to claim all sorts of wild

156
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: crimes have been committed. And so the thing is now,

157
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: the information that they're able to lean from these records

158
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: requests from a couple of years ago, it really isn't

159
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: earth shattering information. The problem is that they want more

160
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: and more, and that's why they're suing the department now.

161
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: So they want height and weight because presumably they're going

162
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: to want to know if you know, the six foot

163
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: two guy who's absolutely built and weighs three hundred pounds

164
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: of all muscle, it's going after someone who only weighs

165
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: ninety pounds, you know what I mean. So they're wanting

166
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: they want they also want to scriptors. You know, they

167
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: already got the ethnicities because that's part of the that's

168
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: part of the demographic information from the city. So they've

169
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: got ethnicity so they can put a complete profile together

170
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: these officers so that people make no mistake that they

171
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: want to target. You know, I understand this is supposedly

172
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: public information and public employees. But now because the Internet

173
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: could be used as a weapon to terrorize cops and

174
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: their families, should there be some change made in releasing

175
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: this kind of information. Well, a lot of that's already

176
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: protected under the Peace Officers Bill of Rights, which is

177
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: actually being tested as we speak. There's a legislat that's

178
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: constantly trying to tear away that whole bill of rights

179
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: for officers that where they're afforded those types of protections,

180
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: and that's because of twenty twenty and what happened. And

181
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: when you've got sympathetic lawmakers that are willing to take

182
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 1: on that charge, you have, you know, you have the

183
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: possibility that some of these laws could be repealed or

184
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: they could be amended. And you know, if the lobbying

185
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: of the police departments and the chiefs of police and

186
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: the sheriff's departments, if they're not strong enough to find it,

187
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: you could easily see these peace Officers Bill of Rights

188
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: starting to a road. All Right, Steve, thank you very

189
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: much for that report. We appreciate it. Bye, guys. You

190
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: all right. Steve Gregory Kafin is covering this Stop LAPD

191
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: Spying Coalition group, which apparently has put out a database

192
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: of a lot of personal information of LAPD officers. I

193
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: just wonder who's financing it, because we found out when

194
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley Bank went under that they were pouring a

195
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: lot of money into Black Lives Matter. Obviously, there's a

196
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: lot of tech a holes that are promoting these uh

197
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: anti these organizations that are against getting rid of the

198
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: homeless off the streets. I mean, there's a tremendous amount

199
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: of money out there. There's a lot of money and

200
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: everything now, but it's getting funneled into these anarchist groups

201
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: and these protest groups that are really damaging a day

202
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: to day life. All Right, more coming up Johnny Ken

209
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app. Friday, we covered this story which

210
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: came out It was first reported at Fox News that

211
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: the La County DA's office, George Gascone, was offering a

212
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: free shuttle to support employees from their cars to their

213
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: workplace in downtown LA And the angle in the story was, well,

214
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: it's because they're getting confronted by the public. I guess

215
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: because Gascone is such a contentious figure that people out

216
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: there and just take it upon themselves to go downtown

217
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: and look for employees walking from their car to their

218
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: workplace so they can stand there and say I like

219
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: what JO doing, which was nonsense. Yes, Now, in all

220
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: fairness and a bit of a surprise, The also Gundo

221
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: Times did do a story on this that appeared Saturday

222
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: by Brennan Dixon, a name I've never seen before. And

223
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: it does say that safety was just one factor behind

224
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: the creation of the program. But it does mention that

225
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: the Times recently did articles about how unsafe Metro is

226
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: the subways and buses and the whole downtown area. It

227
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: doesn't I don't think Johnett mentions that this is anything

228
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: about them being confronted by meals of the public. The

229
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: line here is the program's creation comes on the heels

230
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: of reports that Angelino's are avoiding public transportation in the

231
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: region because of rampant drug use and violence, which is true.

232
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: And that's why you have now these shuttles to take

233
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Gascon's employees from Union station and parking lots to the

234
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: civic center. It's not only that, but all the straits

235
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: in those neighborhoods are filled with drug addicts and mental

236
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: patients or dangerous and scary and and and that's why,

237
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: in other words, they tried to dance around this for

238
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: a few days, because these are the people that Gascon

239
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: doesn't prosecute. Now, these people are endangering the lives of

240
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: his staff members, so he's forced to give them a

241
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: shuttle service to protect them. But he won't protect them

242
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: by putting these characters in prison. So here is the

243
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: paragraph that really got me, and I was like, taken aback.

244
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: The Times never writes like this. The program was creating

245
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: in response to numerous factors, safety being just one of them.

246
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: Said this woman, Tiffany Blackwell, director of Communications. Yeah, she's

247
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: one of these public defenders that he brought in. She's

248
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: nuts and an activist too. Yeah, she's the one that

249
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: said ugly things about the police back in twenty twenty

250
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Yeah. She did say, however, that employees often

251
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: work long hours and then are forced to walk long

252
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: distances to their vehicles in the evening when it's dark out. Well,

253
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: the writer for The Times and the next paragraph punched

254
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: back with sunset these days at seven, the four to

255
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: six pm evening shuttle won't save staff as a walk

256
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: in the dark. Yeah, well that was a nice shot

257
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: at her. Was well, because she's lying, you know, it's

258
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: just been cheap lie. And this guy, Brandon Dixon will

259
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: probably be transferred. Yeah, he's not gonna last long, because

260
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: that was a pretty good shot. He'll be the spokeshole

261
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: for one of the beloved progressive people. He's going to

262
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: be their new Ukrainian corresponding because they're they're not going

263
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: to put up with this kind of truth. No, Black

264
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Nail's one of those. She's she's one of these public

265
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: bst creatures. Oh yeah, she says any any, any kind

266
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: of nonsense. She also cited a lack of ample parking

267
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: at the office's downtown location. Employees often had to take

268
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: public transportation or pay high feast a park in private lots,

269
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: and all these issues the downtown area just started occurring

270
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Yeah, exactly. It just started getting

271
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: dark in twenty twenty three. They just started getting parking

272
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: issues in twenty twenty three. It's allowed a horse crap.

273
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: It's out of control. The downtown area is completely out

274
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: of control with homeless people and mental patients and drug addicts. Yes,

275
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: that's that's what it is. And nobody wants to do anything.

276
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: A doubt it because now we have Karen Bessetti in

277
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: office and she's doing pr stunts to give the impression

278
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: that she's on the case. She's making changes, but obviously

279
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: she's not. Now we'll talk about her apparently later tomorrow.

280
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Is I think John the hundredth day? I know you've

281
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: been looking forward to that. Oh, I mark him every

282
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: day my calendar. Well, I actually heard an audio piece

283
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: last week where she and an aide were discussing it.

284
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: What would be the exact hundredth day? Is it March

285
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: twenty first or the twenty second, or we think it's

286
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: a twenty first. Speaking of downtown, you may have heard

287
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: this odd report from I first got on the news

288
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: from TMZ. I don't know much about her, actress, Amanda Binds,

289
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: but she was found roaming the streets downtown naked and alone.

290
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: She's she's got a lot of mental problems. I don't

291
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: know what she's wandering the streets naked and alone. Yeah,

292
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I ch had some bad problems

293
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: some years ago. I remember, I only know her as

294
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: being a crazy person. I had no idea what shows

295
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: she's in her She was a child star on Nickelodeon.

296
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: She had her own show, The Amanda bind Show. She

297
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: was on all that. It was like a kid's snl

298
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: improv show type thing. Oh did you watch that? As

299
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: a kid. Oh yeah, big time. Oh it's like I'm

300
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: the perfect demo for Amanda Byness. Oh yeah, she's got

301
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: a nine year conservator ship. It was just it was,

302
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: oh wow, it's just officially terminated. So she's like, Britney,

303
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: you got the same problem. Do you imagine what it takes?

304
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: So she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. You're right, can

305
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: you imagine what it takes to actually get a conservatorship? Well,

306
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: we can't get it for the homeless people can't. Oh no,

307
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: I know, but so god, I've been pushing for that

308
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: for too long. See, and Britney spears were actually they

309
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: were acting nuttier than the homeless people in the street. Well,

310
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: but she called on herself and said what I'm naked

311
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: in the basically, yes, she called nine one one herself.

312
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: So then they put her on the fifty one fifty cycole.

313
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: She walked past the store for a window and oh

314
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: my god, I'm naked. A woman walking downtown naked in

315
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 1: a daze. That's really dangerous. She's lucky she wasn't assaulted grabbed. Uh.

316
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: The thing is that there's nothing, there's nothing you can

317
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: do when you got a bad brain like that. I

318
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: mean she's been drugged up for ten years. She set

319
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: her neighbor's driveway on fire. Ah, there you go, twenty thirteen,

320
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: almost engulfing her dog. In Ames was sent to a

321
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: psych ward for treatment, good treatment. She was going to

322
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: go to the nineties con in Connecticut this weekend, but

323
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: she canceled to an illness and then apparently took to

324
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: the streets walking around naked. It says here, since the

325
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: conservativeship ended, a man just seemed to be doing well

326
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: for herself. The most recent incident, it was obviously very concerning.

327
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: Now it's I think she's going to have another conservativeship coming.

328
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Her mother ran it apparently till you stopped taking medication.

329
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, all that stuff is permanent. There's no

330
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: fixing it. You can tamp it down with some medication,

331
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: but you can't. You can't skip anything. Yeah. She waved

332
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: a car down, telling the driver she was coming down

333
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: from a psychotic episode, and then herself called nine. This

334
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: was early yesterday morning and downtown La. No clothes, isn't that?

335
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: Oh no, the marathon didn't run in downtown La. Started

336
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. Because the marathon ran yesterday. I thought

337
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: maybe in this area, But can they send the marathon

338
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: to different neighborhoods every year? I'm sick of it coming

339
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,959
Speaker 1: through my neighborhood and fall. Oh it does actually come

340
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: through your Oh that's exciting. Yes, no, it's not exciting.

341
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: It was difficult getting a bagel and going to the grocery.

342
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: I would run out and cheer on the canyons. Non,

343
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 1: why don't they take Why don't they hadn't run over

344
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 1: the hill into the valley? They Why they sent them

345
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: to South La? Why they Why is the Why come

346
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: they run around the West Side so much that well?

347
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: I think they start at Dodger Stadium, and don't they

348
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: go through North Hollywood and a little bit and then

349
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: they come through. I looked at the map yesterday, but

350
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: I forgot because I was going to go somewhere and

351
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: I said, oh, I gotta make sure i'm not They

352
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: stay on the You know that does that lock your

353
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: neighborhood in or something? Or yeah, yes it does. It

354
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: makes it very difficult to get to get around. You

355
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: have to drink. Because they stopped going to Santa Monica.

356
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: That's over with. Yes, they do a U turn. They

357
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: came back and ended in Century City. That's what they

358
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: did with the route. Yeah, I think Santa Monica didn't

359
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: want to deal with them. Pus. It's not la. It's

368
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Maybe we should do that one day, just keep going

369
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: until we're like that's it. Oh how long I could go?

370
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: Probably till midnight, especially if you got a rum and

371
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: coke with you. Yeah, yeah, it's all I remember the

372
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: days of drinking that you could just talk forever. That's

373
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: that's like two in the morning and he's still going.

374
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm liking pining on everything. And every time people drink,

375
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: they get a little tired. Not you. It's like, what's

376
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: so dangerous. I'd like to do that here one day,

377
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: But that's might be worth a try. I would lose.

378
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: I would lose what little I had left in my

379
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: filter can get extra use. The dump button would get

380
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: extra use. Yeah, yeah, possibly, yeah, you wouldn't be able

381
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: to keep up, you know, he might be surprised to

382
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: learn though not a big cursor was not a big

383
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: but there's other things that would have to be dumped.

384
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: He wishes evil on a lot of people and things,

385
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: but not in a cursing kind of way. No, No,

386
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a horror movie gruesome kind of neck,

387
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: often covering up after three o'clock. Well, Governor dippity Doo

388
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: Newsom is doing this stupid tour around California instead of

389
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: doing a State of the State's speech. Who really cares,

390
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: it's more no jo and glits from an idiot. Nobody

391
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: cares except the tongue bathers. Yes, well, the media has

392
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: to cover because but a couple of things worth talking

393
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: about after at three o'clock will be talking to a

394
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: representative from the oil companies, reacting to Newsom's idea that

395
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: he's going to set up another bureaucracy to track the

396
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: oil companies. He's given up with the legislature actually passing

397
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: a bill for the windfall profits tax on oil company. Instead,

398
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: he wants another watchdog set up which we'll get all

399
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: the information and when they make too much money, we'll

400
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: grab it. Something like that. Okay, Gavin, So we'll play well,

401
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk to a rep and then we'll play some

402
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: other audio too, because he's also Wow, he wants us

403
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: to vote yes and a lot of bond money for

404
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: mental illness, for mental health. Well, my question when I

405
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: saw that was what happened to the care court? That

406
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: was your big idea last year they set up to

407
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: deal with the well back the conservativeship again the homeless.

408
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: This is all just headlines. I know, he gets headlines

409
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: and then a year later you're going, hey, whatever happened too?

410
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: I know, well this time they're gonna put something on

411
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: the ballot for mental health. Yeah, we had a big

412
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: ballot measurement. People may have forgotten that they did that

413
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: nineteen years ago. The millionaire's tax. Yeah, they raised a

414
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: lot of money and everything got way worse one percent,

415
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: which is a lot when a tax rate. So they

416
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: would Yeah, I threw thousands of them, they one at

417
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: a time. What does anyone have any what's going on? Oh? Nothing?

418
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: I just heard yeahoor Eric has people in with him

419
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: and they're they're trying to figure something out. So I

420
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: think he mistakenly pushed a button. I can see what's

421
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: going on, all right, Okay, Now in other news, Uh,

422
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: the school district Ella Unified is supposed to have a

423
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: press conference maybe at four o'clock. There are some last

424
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: minute negotiations going on. I don't think there was any

425
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: schedule today, but now there is union leaders in school

426
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: districts to try to head off the possibility of a

427
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: three day strike beginning tomorrow. That it upends the parents' lives.

428
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: If you have both both parents or a single parent

429
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: and they're working full time, they don't have any place

430
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: to put the kid, Like, why would you do this

431
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: to the parent? They have very limited daycare Della Unified.

432
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: They know they can't take in all the kids. Don't

433
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: be left. I mean it's just so they have to

434
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 1: tell their boss, I got they got to take three

435
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: days off to stay home and watch after their kids.

436
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 1: I guess the teachers are so incredibly selfish. I mean,

437
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: it is so rude to make people scramble for three

438
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: days of daycare that they can't afford or they can't find.

439
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: Because what you want to make a statement. I'm just

440
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: these these these these teachers are just terrible. They're just

441
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: terrible people. The union is asking for a thirty percent

442
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: wage increase plus a two dollars per hour additional race

443
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: for the lowest paid employees. The head of the school's

444
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: Alberto Carvallo, showed up on TV this morning said that actually,

445
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: our offer is more than twenty percent over multiple years

446
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: and includes a three percent bonus and a massive expansion

447
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: of healthcare benefits. It seems like they're being offered something

448
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: pretty ample, but they want something even bigger. No, because

449
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: because because they're fanatics and they want to make a

450
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: political point. That's why the teachers are now asking for

451
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: low income housing. They want to be like some kind

452
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: of like Sue for social justice warrior woke organization. They're

453
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: not just representing teachers to get the best salary and

454
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: benefits deal. Now they've got a much bigger stage. They

455
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: want to perform on. The other big story which is

456
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: going to come your way perhaps tomorrow, is per the

457
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: indictment and perhaps arrest of Trump. This was big news

458
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: over the weekend, although the only one that believes it's

459
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: imminent is Trump. He's apparently the source, as he went

460
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: on social media to announce that he believes he's going

461
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: to be arrested on Tuesday. This would come from the

462
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who supposedly would be the

463
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: one behind the indictment of former President Trump. And believe

464
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: it or not, this brings us all back to Stormy Daniels.

465
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: Is what's behind this case? Looking at a legal opinion,

466
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: Apparently the Justice Department already passed ongoing after Trump for this.

467
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: This is, of course, the hush money paid to her

468
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: during the presidential campaign of twenty sixteen. Here's what the

469
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: hook is for a potential crime. Michael Cohen. Remember it's

470
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: Sleeve's ball attorney who spent time in jail himself because

471
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: I think he lied. Yeah, Trump paid Michael Cohen, who

472
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: in turn paid Stormy Daniels. But a couple of things.

473
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: He paid Cohen a certain amount of money. It was

474
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: the Stormy Daniels money plus money for other work that

475
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: Cohen did, and then they doubled it and it and

476
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: then checks would come periodically over some years from either

477
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: Trump or the Trump organization. It was about one hundred

478
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand dollars in total, right, And they were

479
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: trying to hide the Stormy Daniels payment, right, And somewhere

480
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: in there they committed you know, some kind of paperwork cry.

481
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: They falsified business. It's election funding, campaign finance. Alvin Bragg's

482
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: theory is that this was actually a payment in kind

483
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: to the Trump campaign because the purpose of paying off

484
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels was to protect his campaign, and so that

485
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: it should have been recorded as a contribution to the campaign.

486
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: This is really esoteric stuff, it is, And it's the

487
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: opinion of a lot of legal people I read over

488
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: the weekend is it was really just to get rid

489
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: of a nuisance lawsuit. It isn't exactly a big scandal.

490
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: If if you were going to prosecute something like this,

491
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: at worst, it would be a misdemeanor unless it is

492
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: done to cover up another crime. Right, So if you

493
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: falsify your your business records, misdemeanor if it's big enough felony,

494
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 1: if its covers up another crime, and it's the lowest

495
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: class of felony, it's called a classy felony. And nobody's

496
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: quite sure what the other crime is. Yeah, unless it's

497
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: a campaign finance thing. But those those are rarely charged.

498
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: His felonies those are most of the time, those are civilizations,

499
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: and the campaign has to pay a fine, and most

500
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: campaigns run into those because the rules are so complex.

501
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what this is, and most

502
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: of the people I read don't know exactly what this is.

503
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: That's why it's not being grabbed by the progressive media

504
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: as loudly as I thought it would. They seem to

505
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: be a little cautious over it, like maybe it's not

506
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it is nothing burger. There is better investigations

507
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: if you want Trump put away. I mean he's he's

508
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: got the the ft the top secret documents, he was

509
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: hiding in Mara Lago. He's got the interference in the

510
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: Georgia election. He's got still lingering responsibility for inciting the

511
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: January sixth riots. I mean, there's other investigations going on.

512
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: This has been around for years, and brag early on

513
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: in his term said he decided he wasn't going to

514
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: pursue it, and now suddenly he is. But it's it's

515
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 1: clearly a political prosecution, which if you hate Trump, you're

516
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: going to root for it. But the marriats of it

517
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: are pretty flimsy. Some are comparing it to a case

518
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: we talked about years ago and the show Remember John Edwards,

519
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: but that goes back to twenty twelve. He was a

520
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: Democratic presidential candidate. We talked about being forgotten, but he

521
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: had an affair with Rielle Hunter and they had a

522
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: child together, and apparently they gave her money to disappear.

523
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: That was channeled through several sources, and it turns out

524
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: in the case that was eventually taken to a jury,

525
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: they were deadlocked. So yeah, he was found not guilty

526
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: on one account, the jury deadlocked on the other five.

527
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: So some think this could end up in the same

528
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: rabbit hole if this guy really goes to pursue it,

529
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: and they're wondering why a Manhattan DA I mean, this

530
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: is usually a federal thing. It is. If he's talking

531
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: if he's talking about a contribution to his presidential campaign,

532
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: he's trying to use a state law to prosecute a

533
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: federal issue. I did see that, right. I mean, maybe

534
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: when he releases the indictment it's going to make some

535
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of sense, But based on the information out there,

536
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: none of this really tracks coherently. All right, We got

537
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: more coming up Johnny Ken k I AM six forty.

538
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. You're listening

539
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: to John and Ken on demand from KFI. Coming up

540
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: after at three o'clock, we'll talk about Newsom's new idea

541
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: to go after the oil companies, another bureaucracy, some sort

542
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: of special commission which tracks their profits. Anyway, we'll talk

543
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: to an oil company rep after the news at three o'clock,

544
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: and we got some gibberish to play from audio from

545
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: Newsom as he's doing his a tour around the state,

546
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: his dopey tour where he's holding all sorts of media events.

547
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: We draw attention to himself rather than making a dopey

548
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: State of the State speech. It's something incomprehensible to play.

549
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: It sounds like we do so well. It's something about homelessness.

550
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: This will come up in the three clock out. We'll

551
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: talk about Karen Bass too, because there's already complaints that

552
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: her Inside Safe program is taking people off the streets,

553
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: putting him into hotels, but pushing other people out of

554
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: the hotels who end up back homeless somewhere. You'll see

555
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: the Complainton will talk about it. Oh, it's again like

556
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: the musical chairs. It is. It's sort of like, well,

557
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: to make room for these people in the hotel, we

558
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: have to send the other homeless people, the formerly homeless

559
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: people out, and some of them end up in the streets.

560
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: Are the one thing we didn't mentioned with regards to

561
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: the Trump story, which is where the build up was.

562
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, there was a call for people to protest,

563
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: So there was this feeling by some of the media

564
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: that Tuesday, New York City could look like January sixth

565
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: and Washington, d C. From a few years ago, that, yeah,

566
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: are our thousands and thousands of Trump people going to

567
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: march in the streets of New York City demanding the

568
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: DA not indict the former president. I don't it was

569
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: part of the whipping of the I don't think they

570
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: could afford the tolls to get over the George Washington

571
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: Bridge with a Lincoln tunnel. And this isn't the same

572
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: as trying to contest a presidential election. Yeah, I did

573
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: pay off a porn star. Come and fight for me.

574
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: You know, does any does any of these people stop

575
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: and think this through. He paid off a porn star

576
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: and tried to cover it up. Yeah, and I'm not

577
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: saying it's a crime, but this is all self inflicted

578
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: on his part exactly. I mean, you know, he could

579
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: live life normally and not screw around with a porn

580
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: star and not try to cover it up with hush

581
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: money and then and then cover it up illegally by

582
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: falsifying his business documents. You could choose not to do

583
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Yeah. I saw a funny quote from

584
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy, who's now the Speaker of the House and

585
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: of course a California Republican, who said Trump isn't really

586
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: calling for people to protest. That's not what he's saying.

587
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I don't know how it sounded like

588
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: what was reported in his social media post protest this

589
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: he's a boob, really a brick. They're gonna have some

590
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: sort of hearings. They're demanding that the DA in New

591
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: York Alvin Bragg handover documents. Although I did see one

592
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: good point about him. He promised and we've seen this,

593
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: he's another George Gascone. Yeah, he was not going to

594
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: go after non violent crimes, and yeah, you remember that

595
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't even have to go go after violent crimes.

596
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: New York City is as big a disaster zone as

597
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: any city in the country. It's because Alvin Bragg believes

598
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: in no prosecutions. So there's a lot of violence, there's

599
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: a lot of mayhem going on, and he's going over

600
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: over Trump fittling around with his business documents. I mean this,

601
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: this whole crowd, there's nobody to root for here. Yeah.

602
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Even Trump even put that in one of his emails

603
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: that the New York City da this Alvin Bragg. Remember

604
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: that case of that grocer that was getting beat So

605
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: he reached out and he hit the guy with a

606
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: I forget it was a knife or something, and but

607
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: Bragg went after the grocer. Let's take attack. He tried

608
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: to defend himself and he stabbed the guy with a knife,

609
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: and Bragg went after the grocer who was trying until

610
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: he gave up because the backlash was severe. Yeah no,

611
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: but Bragg is a five star jackass. So but now

612
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's he's gonna be a hero for all

613
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: the left wing a holes that want Trump's head. Right.

614
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: But like I said, I finding this a bit understated,

615
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: Like they don't really don't think this is a good case,

616
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: So they don't really they're not really a lot of

617
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: that media is not latching onto this. You know what,

618
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: It isn't a good case. It's convoluted. You try to read.

619
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: I forced myself to read through it over the weekend

620
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: to try to understand, try to absolutely this. This was

621
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: hard work. This is not the kind of thing I

622
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: normally want to read, and so I had to read

623
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: this guy and trying to find the hook right when

624
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: When When When you're covering a case, especially if we're

625
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: going to do it on the radio where there aren't

626
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: any pictures or graphics we could show you, you got

627
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: to be able to process it and then explain it

628
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: in a way that everybody could understand. And this one

629
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: is just this one's a headache, and it's really not

630
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: clear what the crime is like who got harmed? Okay, now,

631
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: speaking of crime, we moved from New York City to

632
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco, where a CNN correspondent who was there to

633
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: report on the rampant street crime in San Francisco had

634
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: her rental car broken into. Even with higher security who

635
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: were supposed to watch the car, she tweeted got robbed again,

636
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: sending out a picture of the cars shattered rear view window.

637
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: We had security to watch our rental car plus crew

638
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: car thieves did this one under four seconds. This is ridiculous. Oh,

639
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: I told you I saw this in person in San Francisco.

640
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: I was there a couple of years ago, and I

641
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: saw two guys pull up in a car with masks

642
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: over their face, and they just like a complete ski

643
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: cap and everything, and they smashed into the back window

644
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: of a park car. It was over in seconds. So

645
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: they grabbed a whole bunch of things out of the back.

646
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: Then we saw the family come later that owned the car.

647
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: They were tourists and they were looking at like, what

648
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: the hell happened. Now you, if you're a tourist in

649
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco, you cannot leave your rental car out on

650
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: the street and never ever leave your stuff in there.

651
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: Don't because that's what they do. They drive by and

652
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: they do a quick glance that they see something on

653
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: the seat or in the back trunk area, not in

654
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: the trunk, but that little like in an suv that

655
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: third that's when they and that's what they do. They

656
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: smash that back window and grab it so and they

657
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: go nothing in sight from looking through the windows, and

658
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: they go to the places at the touristco You're like

659
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: Fisherman's Wharf or North Beach or the Giants baseball Park.

660
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: In December, more than half of the city's residents said

661
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: that they had been victims of theft or larceny. Wow,

662
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: half half that I would expected. Twenty percent even in

663
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: a bad city. Thirty percent it's completed. Something got stolen

664
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: from me. He's completely lowness. There is a clip and

665
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: I heard it right at the last minute before the

666
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: start of the show. I'll go find it for tomorrow.

667
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: There's a clip of this San Francisco supervisor begging the

668
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: police department to send resources and police into her district

669
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: because it's so out of hand. This same woman issued

670
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: a tweet three years ago in twenty twenty, calling for

671
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: defunding of the police, and now three years later because

672
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: crime is so rampant in her district. She's sounding like

673
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: she was about to cry because it's so bad. It's like, hello, lady,

674
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: this is what you wanted. You got it, you found it.

675
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: Oh play it. We've been begging for more footbeats and

676
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: for more officers in the mission district. I've been begging

677
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: this department to give the mission what it deserves of

678
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: police presence all year long, and I have been told

679
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: time and time and time and time again there are

680
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: no officers that we can send to mission. It hurts

681
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: and I feel betrayed by the department. I feel betrayed

682
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: by the Mayor. I feel betrayed by the priorities of

683
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: the city. It is not this board of supervisors priorities.

684
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: We want our residence safe. We don't want our residence

685
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: getting shot, getting assaulted, getting killed because in the mission, Chief,

686
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: it's not theft and the mission, people are getting shot

687
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: and killed. In the mission, people are getting beat up.

688
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: In the mission, people are dying. That woman's Hillary Ronan.

689
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: She's a Democrat, she's on the San Francisco Supervisory Board,

690
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: and this is what she wrote in twenty twenty. I

691
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: want to make it clear that I believe strongly in

692
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: defunding the police and reducing the number of officers on

693
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: our force. For decades, we've had an imbalance on our

694
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: city's budget, with hundreds of millions of dollars going to

695
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Police Department to have them do work

696
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: they are not qualified to do. And in twenty twenty,

697
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: the Mayor London breed redirected one hundred and twenty million

698
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 1: dollars from law enforcement to other initiatives, and homicides increased

699
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty percent in twenty twenty, another seventeen percent in twenty

700
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: twenty one, and at the end of that year, Breed

701
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: made an emergency request to the board to add more

702
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: funds to the police department. They are just fools, all right.

703
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll talk about Newsom's latest idea

704
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: to go after the oil companies in California. Johnny Ken
