8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to John McKinney. He ran for

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: Deputy DA and he was one of the two candidates

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: that we endorsed, but he did not make the runoff.

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: Gascone and Nathan Hackman did. And McKinney is throwing his

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: support behind Nathan Hakman. So is Maria Ramirez and she

13
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: was She is another Deputy DA who ran against Gascone

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: and McKinney and Ramirez both got their share of votes

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: excuse me, but not enough to get to the runoff. Anyway,

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Today they had a press conference and McKinny and Ramirez

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: said they're going with Hawkman. Let's get John McKinney on now.

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: John Hey, Good afternoon, John Hey, good to have you

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: on again. Thank you for making some time for us.

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: My pleasure thank you for having me back.

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: Tell me what went into your decision to come out

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: publicly and support Nathan Hockman for DA against Gascone.

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: Well, you know, first of all, I was honored to

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: stand next to my colleague Maria Ramirez. The two of

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 3: us were the two most senior veteran DA's in the

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: DA's office who ran for DA, and today we stood

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: with Nathan Hoffman and offered our support for his race

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: for DA. And what went into it for me was

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: really coming to terms with who the current DA is,

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: the policies that he's implemented, his value system, and I,

31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: you know, it's not something a decision that I made automatically.

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: I did meet with mister Gascon after the primary elections.

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: He was gracious with his time. He sat with me

34
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: for a couple hours, a little longer than a couple hours,

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 3: and to his credit, he answered all of my questions.

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: You know, I got to look into his eyes and

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: hear his explanations for what he's been doing after the primary. Yes,

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: and what I was looking for is whether or not

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: he's learned anything over the last four years, whether he

40
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: listened and learned anything during the primary campaign, whether there

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 3: was some possibility that he might moderate some of the policies.

42
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: I also met with Nathan Hoffman, who was also gracious

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: with his time, and I got to ask him questions

44
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: about his vision for the DA's office. So it wasn't

45
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: just everything that I knew going into the election. It's

46
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: what I learned after the election that convinced me that

47
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: Nathan Hopping presents the best candidate for the future of

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: Los Angeles.

49
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: It's fascinating that you you took the time to talk

50
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: with Gascone at length, and that he gave you that

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: time as well. I mean, obviously he's he's he needs

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: to improve upon his twenty five percent. His approval rating

53
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: is terrible. And but did it Did it seem like

54
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: the experience of only getting twenty five percent as an

55
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: incumbent had any effect on the way he thinks?

56
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, without getting it to the specifics of

57
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: the conversation, I will say that he didn't seem humbled

58
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: by the outcome at all. In fact, I think he

59
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: felt encouraged by it. For some reason. I didn't get

60
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: any sense from him, not even a little bit, that

61
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: he thought that he needed to reconsider any of the

62
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: positions that he stands on today, and you know, without

63
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: him willing to make some compromises, and I mean some

64
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: very serious and dramatic compromises, there there was no way

65
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: that I could support him.

66
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: And sitting down with Nathan Hockman, I imagine mostly you found

67
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: yourself in agreement or did you have any further discussion

68
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: about where you guys might be in different camps on

69
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: some matters. No.

70
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: You know, during the campaign, if you look at the

71
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: eleven candidates who ran against get Well, there were a

72
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: couple that weren't quite serious candidates, right, but most of

73
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: the candidates, he sort of took a position somewhere between

74
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: the center and the right of the spectrum. I don't

75
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: think there was.

76
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: A whole lot of daylight really.

77
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: Between many of the challengers. Some were, you know, a

78
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: little bit to the left of center, some a little

79
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: more to the right of center. To me, Nathan Hoffman

80
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: is a centrist. He's a moderate. You know, whether he

81
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: was a Democrat in the past, and I think he

82
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: was a Democrat in the past longer than Gascone was

83
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: a Democrat, and he was a Republican in the past.

84
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: But I think we need to throw those those designations

85
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: those labels out and look at who the person is

86
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 3: and what their values are. He's a moderate guy, he's

87
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: a centrist. I thought that, but meeting with him after

88
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 3: the election, that was confirmed for me, and it helped

89
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: me arrive at the position I am today in supporting

90
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: him to be the next district attorney.

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: I would think people have to look at the policies

93
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: that these guys promote and not put a political label

94
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: on it that preempts your thinking. You have to sit

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: and listen, listen to what they say they're going to do,

96
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: because I mean, Gascone has done what he said he

97
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: was going to do, and I think Hakman is very

98
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: sincere in what he wants. So you have to pay

99
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: attention to what they say and what they've done in

100
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: their career.

101
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: Is the two of them, No, absolutely, And you know

102
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: I to me, this race is going to boil down

103
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: to whether or not Gascone can define Hofman as somebody

104
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: who scares voters. Gascone's not going to spend any time

105
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: talking about his own record, his own background, his own

106
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: training and experience, because it's virtually non existent. His track

107
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: record as DA has been bad. Even the people who

108
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: voted for him, you know, did so with some trepidation.

109
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: So he's not going to talk about any of that

110
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: in this race coming up. He's just going to try

111
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: to vilify Nathan Hofman. And Nathan Hoffman's job is to

112
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: get out in the community and I mean all of

113
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 3: our communities and introduce himself and allow people to get

114
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: to know him for who he is. He's a good guy,

115
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: as an outstanding education. He's did a lot of public

116
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: service over the course of his life, and he's eminently

117
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 3: qualified for the job of Los Angeles County District Attorney.

118
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: And when people see that, and when they hear him

119
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: speak and speak from the heart, I think that they're

120
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 3: going to like him. They're not going to care about

121
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: these political labels that we throw around. And I told

122
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: Nathan and when it comes to the people who supported me,

123
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: it's going to be very important that he lean into

124
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 3: purport justice that is balanced outcomes, unique outcomes for each

125
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: case in each person, no blanket policies, and he has

126
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: embraced that. He embraced that during the campaign, even I

127
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: talked to him about what was a fundamental part of

128
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: my campaign, which was crime prevention, youth education and mentorship.

129
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: And he was talking about that today this afternoon, so

130
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: I think that's part of his vision also for the future. Finally,

131
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: public activation, John, the public wants to feel like they're

132
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: part of the system. Especially in our minority communities. They

133
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 3: get ignored all the time, they get used all the time.

134
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: They're being used by Gascon. He pays lip service to

135
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: their struggles, but he does really nothing to help the

136
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: quality of life that they're experiencing. And I told Nathan,

137
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: if you're going to be successful, you've got to lean

138
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: into those communities in a sincere way and let them

139
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: know that they're going to have a seat at the table.

140
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: You're going to see them, and you're going to hear them,

141
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: and you're going to take them seriously. Now that doesn't

142
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: mean that everybody who has an idea is going to

143
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: get their idea implemented, but there are some good ideas

144
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: out there in the community. In the DA's office needs

145
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: to be connected to that.

146
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: If there are supporters of yours listening. And because I

147
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: know we heard from some people who were supporting various

148
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: candidates who ran against gasconin lost and you know understandably

149
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: they're they're upset. What do you tell them. How do

150
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: you tell them to now it's time to vote for

151
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: Nathan Hockman. What are you saying to them? They were

152
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: all in on you, We're all in maybe on you know,

153
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: John Hattommy or Maria Ramirez. They were all in on

154
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: somebody else and now they've got to switch gears. How

155
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: do you tell them to trust Nathan Hockman that you

156
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: guys are pretty much in the same camp overall.

157
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: So well, I tell my supporters, you know, we fought

158
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: the good fight. We stood on principle. We didn't change

159
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: our position for the sake of public opinion. Some of

160
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: the positions I held I knew were not going to

161
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: be very popular county wide, but it's what I believed.

162
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 3: And I think people appreciate sincerity and authenticity above all else,

163
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 3: so they're willing to forgive you if they don't agree

164
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: with you on everything. But what I said to my

165
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: supporter is this is now a binary choice. You know,

166
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: we fought the good fight. We didn't win. We would

167
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 3: rather have had my name on the podium today, but

168
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: it wasn't. So now we have to be adults and

169
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: make a decision that's good for Los Angeles County. What

170
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: is appropriate for the greater good of the county. Let's unify,

171
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: Let's come together for a change behind something that's good,

172
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: and what we need now more than ever is change.

173
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 3: People should make no mistake about this fact. George Gascone

174
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: is the status quo candidate. If you like the way

175
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: things are going, if you love this increase in violent

176
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: crime and property crime, if you like this sense of

177
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: a fea, this general sense of being uncomfortable as you

178
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: move around the county, if that's what you if you

179
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: think it's fine, then you know, we know you're going

180
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: to vote for mister Gascon. But if you know we

181
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: can do better, and you know we have to do

182
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 3: better than Nathan Hoffman is to change candidate, and he

183
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: is as moderate and balanced of a candidate that I've

184
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: heard in local politics here in Los Angeles in a

185
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: long time.

186
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: Well, John, thank you very much for coming on, and

187
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: we'll talk again soon. Anytime you want to talk about

188
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: the race or talk about Hawkman or Gascone, please you

189
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: always have a home here.

190
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed. Yeah.

191
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: Can I add one thing, Yeah, we we we announced

192
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: our endorsements today in Compton, and I told Nathan Hoffman

193
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 3: and Maria agreed that we wanted to do this in

194
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: a community that really needs protection, They need attention, they

195
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: need support, and we're all. While we could have done

196
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: this in the Pacific Palisades of Beverly Hills, we went

197
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: to Compton. We went to Reuben's Bakery, which you know

198
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: was the site of that horrific smash and grab where

199
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: they rolled the car through the bakery. Yeah, we went

200
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: specifically there to make these endorsements because it's important that

201
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: the community's communities like Compton get to know who Nathan

202
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: Hoffman is and that's the support he has to win.

203
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: He has to earn that, and so I think he

204
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: got off to a good start today.

205
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: All right, Well that's what everybody's hoping for. Uh And John,

206
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: thanks again for coming on with us.

207
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: All right, thank you John.

208
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: All right, John McKinney, Deputy DA. And that's fascinating, huh.

209
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: I spent two hours with Gascone and quite some time

210
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: with the Nathan Hockman as well before coming out with

211
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: the with the endorsement today. He and Maria Ramirez, another prosecutor,

212
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: ran against Gascone. They didn't get into the runoff. Nathan

213
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Hoppin did and they're both supporting Hoppman.

214
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: Coming up, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from

215
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty.

216
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Coming up after three point thirty.

217
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: Victor Davis Hanson one of my all time favorite political

218
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: and newswriters. He wrote a piece that they published in

219
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: Fox News and eleven Ways. The title is eleven ways

220
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: Biden and his handlers are hell bent on destroying America

221
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: and which sounds like hyperbole, right, Well, I read each

222
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: one of them, just the headlines alone, and you have

223
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,359
Speaker 2: to stop and say, Okay, is this true.

224
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Or not true?

225
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: And we can play this game at home, and I'll

226
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: read all eleven and it's like you, let's let's say

227
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: you were planning to ruin America? Would you do the

228
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: following eleven things? Would you have the power to do

229
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: the following eleven things? So that'll be the game that

230
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: we'll play. Coming up after three thirty. You know, George

231
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: Calton has been writing for the La Times since the

232
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: early nineteen sixties, no kidding, I mean he's like eighty

233
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: four years old, eighty five years old.

234
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: You can't even keep track anymore.

235
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: It's he's so old, older than Joe Biden put it

236
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: that way, and he writes things and you know, he's

237
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: like an old school liberal guy, and I read this stuff,

238
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: and you know, you can tell kind of when the

239
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: El Segunda Times is purposely lying there publishing propaganda that

240
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: objectively the stuff that they're printing is false, but they

241
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: have some sort of ideology that they're emotionally invested in,

242
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: and then you wonder about the stuff they omit and

243
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: is a guy like George Skelton just doesn't see it anymore,

244
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: doesn't understand it because I don't know, maybe he doesn't

245
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: know people who live daily life in California and have

246
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: to deal with the daily struggle.

247
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

248
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: But he writes a piece today about why Californians are

249
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: fleeing this once golden state and what's fascinating.

250
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: It's been this way for.

251
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: A number of years, and the calumnists and the editorial

252
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: writers at the El Segunda Time simply denied it or

253
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: they downplayed it, and they downplayed it with a lot

254
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: of statistical sleight of hand. Right, And finally he had

255
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: to admit that the Census Bureau reported last month that

256
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: California's population had dropped below thirty nine million, and when

257
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: people used to think that we were going to hit

258
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: forty five million by twenty twenty and sixty million by

259
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: twenty forty. They thought California was going to continue to explode.

260
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: I remember Jerry Brown preaching about that. That's why he

261
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: was always in apocalyptic mode. And I always wondered, It's like, well,

262
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: where are they going to go? Because I know in

263
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: LA and Orange County there's very little space left to go,

264
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: and they have zoned out a lot of development in

265
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: the open spaces east of LA and Orange County. So

266
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: I didn't understand these constant predictions. You know, they weren't

267
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: going to build any more freeways, they were closing schools,

268
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: as I didn't understand. Well, he finally admits that people

269
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: have been fleeing California and the exodus accelerated on Gavin

270
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: Newsom's watch, well not only his watch, but his decisions.

271
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: And he starts going into what are the reasons why?

272
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: And it's you know, he says, well, you know, it's

273
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: the cost of living, it's the price of housing. There's

274
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: nowhere to develop anymore. You'd have to start building more

275
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: apartment complexes, what they call infill, right, you can't spread

276
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: the growth out of it. Well you could, but they

277
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: don't want to. And putting apartment buildings in single family

278
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: home neighborhoods is going to cause more people to flee

279
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: because nobody wants that.

280
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: And he he what he's missing is while he says.

281
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: People don't can't afford, don't want to pay the cost

282
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: of living here, there's two kinds of people. There's people

283
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: who really can't afford it, they don't have the dollars

284
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: available to live here. And then there are people who

285
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: decide it's not worth it, and why is it not

286
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: worth it? And it's because in La County, for example,

287
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: the out of control crime makes them money happy and

288
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: they're willing to pay the taxes, very begrudgingly, but they'll

289
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: do it, except what do they get for it? John

290
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: McKinney said a few minutes ago. You walk around and

291
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: you're on edge and you're fearful, and it hits you.

292
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: It's like, why am I paying for this? Why am

293
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: I paying the high mortgage or the high rent and

294
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: the high taxes for this? And it's the crime and

295
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: it's the homelessness. Same question I've had it. I'm driving

296
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: around and I'm paying this kind of mortgage. I'm paying

297
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: these kind of taxes for this every day crazy people

298
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: that I'm terrified are gonna smash my windshield while in

299
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: the midst of some psychotic rage while I'm stopped at

300
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: a light. People who unleash all their bowel movements onto

301
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: the ground in front of me. This is what I'm

302
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: paying for. And he doesn't mention any of that. He

303
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: doesn't mention the two things that everybody I know talks

304
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: about constantly, and whenever the subject comes up, are you

305
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: gonna stay?

306
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: Are you gonna move?

307
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: It comes up in the context of all the crime,

308
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: the fear that comes with the crime, and the homelessness

309
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: and the insanity. But for George Skelton, it's all just

310
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 2: about numbers. It's not about numbers. It's about the day

311
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: to day life's stuff that simply doesn't go on in

312
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: most places in this country, and in fact, in most

313
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: places around the world, you don't have situations like this.

314
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a few other cities whose leaders are

315
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: so stupidly progressive that they've created a hellhole. But I'm

316
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 2: just I'm amazed how people walk around in their bubbles

317
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: and when you have the only newspaper in the region.

318
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: Everybody's either in the bubble or they have emotionally thrown

319
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: themselves into this progressive religion, and they can't they can't

320
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: function anymore. They certainly can't write accurately about what's going on.

321
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: They're certainly way out of touch. Now when we come

322
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: back on a larger scale, same thing, Victor Davis Hansen

323
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: sees it. He's got the vision and he wrote a

324
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: piece for Fox News eleven ways that Biden and his

325
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: handlers are hell bent on destroying America, which means, is

326
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: there eleven things that the Biden administration has implemented, and

327
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 2: we'll go through them quickly. And you ask yourself, if

328
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: you wanted to ruin the country on purpose, this is

329
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: what you do.

330
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: We're coming up.

331
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A

332
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: six forty coming up.

333
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: The UCLA Medical School had the most bizarre lecture I

334
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: can ever imagine reading about. You're not going to believe it,

335
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: but they had a lecturer demand that students get on

336
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: their knees, touch the floor, and engage in a particular prayer.

337
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: And there was one student that didn't do it. And

338
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 2: you'll hear about the reaction to that. It is really

339
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: really bizarre. I don't know what's going on UCLA. We'll

340
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: get to that, okay. So one of my favorite writers,

341
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 2: Victor Davis Hansen, and we've had them on the showumber

342
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: of times. He writes very clearly and directly, and he

343
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: wrote about the eleven ways that Biden and his handlers

344
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: are hell bent on destroying America. And that sounds like,

345
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: you know, political hyperbole, right, but it's actually not very long,

346
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 2: goes maybe three pages total. The writing. I'll quickly summarize it.

347
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: And the key to this is you hear each of

348
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: these eleven out loud, and you ask yourself, if you

349
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: wanted to do heavy damage to a country, what would

350
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: you do Differently, Remember, these are the things that the

351
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: Biden administration is doing on purpose, and you have to

352
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: wonder the motivation. Many times you've said, why are they

353
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: doing this? It's not only destructive, but it's really unpopular.

354
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: It's not good for their political futures. Well, what if

355
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: the point of this is, especially among the administration staffers,

356
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: is to actually ruin the place. Let me go through

357
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: the eleven you can play along at home. One wipe

358
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: out a two thousand mile border. Just what the administration

359
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: has done. They've wiped out a two thousand mile border

360
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 2: and allowed ten million FI nationals to enter unlawfully with

361
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: no audit. All federal immigration laws have been nullified. Let

362
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: in toxic drugs that kill one hundred thousand Americans a year,

363
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: give free support to millions who broke the law, and

364
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: smear any objectors as racists and xenophobes. They're doing all this.

365
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 2: What would you do differently if you wanted to ruin

366
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: the country, what would you do differently? No, you'd wipe

367
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 2: out the border. You'd let in ten million people. You'd

368
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: let in all the fentanel that's killing one hundred thousand Americans,

369
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: and anybody who objects, you call them all kinds of

370
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: horrible names. Make them run away. Here's number two. Run

371
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: up thirty five trillion dollars in national debt and add

372
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: a trillion each one hundred days. Number three appease or

373
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: subsidize enemies like Iran and China, and demonize allies like Israel.

374
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: Number four.

375
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: In a multiracial democracy, redefine identity as one's only as

376
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: one's tribal affiliation. Ensure each identity group rivals the other

377
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: for victimhood and competes for government money. Recalibrate violent crime

378
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: as understandable cry of the heart expressions of social justice

379
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 2: that's been done here in Los Angeles certainly, and in California.

380
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: It's not violent crime, it's not evil, it's not psychotic behavior.

381
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: It's a cry of the heart because of all the

382
00:22:54,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: social injustice they've actually done all this. Let me skip

383
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: a couple here, Oh, make war on affordable gasoline and

384
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: natural gas instead, substitute inefficient, unreliable, and expensive wind and

385
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 2: solar power, even as energy prices nearly bankrupt the middle class.

386
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: Encourage the fusion of the bureaucratic state with the electronic

387
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 2: media to form a powerful force for political surveillance, censorship,

388
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: and coercion. Yeah, that's the federal government getting in bed

389
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: with all the social media companies. Turn world class universities

390
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: into indoctrination centers, suspend the Bill of Rights on campuses,

391
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: train youth to graduate despising their own culture and civilization.

392
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: Recruit foreign students from hostile nations to subsidize campus blow

393
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: all those administrators, replace the curriculum with therapeutic propaganda. Ban

394
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: the sat do not evaluate high school GPAs in sure

395
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: merit does not select the student body. That's what's all

396
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: been done here, and it's all been done very quickly.

397
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: It's quite radical, but you've seen a sea change in

398
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: the way people think and the way they behave in

399
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: just a few short years. It just all happened at once.

400
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: Doesn't make you wonder why did it all happen at once?

401
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: How did it all happen at once? When we come back,

402
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 2: a manifestation of this is what's going on at UCLA.

403
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 2: The UCLA Medical School required students to attend a lecture

404
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: where the speaker made everybody get on their knees and

405
00:24:54,040 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: pray to Mama Earth. And you weren't allowed not to kneel.

406
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 2: You stayed seated. Somebody got upset. Talk more about it.

407
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: We come back.

408
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: Conway, coming up in minutes. You're not gonna believe this.

409
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 2: Listen to this UCLA Medical skill. We are educating doctors

410
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: here at UCLA Medical School. They had a woman named

411
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: Lisa Gray hyphen Garcia. Lisa and Gray Garcia apparently has

412
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: the nickname Tiny. She's a wet job who has called

413
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: the terrorist attacks on Israel justice.

414
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: On March twenty seventh.

415
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 2: She began the class by leading students in what she

416
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: described as a non secular prayer to the ancestors, and

417
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 2: she ordered everybody to get on their knees and touch

418
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: the floor. Touch Mama Earth, she said, with their fists.

419
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 2: Half the students complied. Can you imagine being in college

420
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: and a nutjob is telling you to get on your

421
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: knees and touch Mama Earth. Greg Garcia is an activist

422
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 2: who was invited to speak about housing injustice. She started

423
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: thinking native tribes, Native tribes for preserving what the settlers

424
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: call la, and she reminded students of the city's her story,

425
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 2: her story. The prayer included of benediction for black, brown,

426
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: and houseless people who die because of the crapitalist lie

427
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: of private property. Greg Garcia said Mama Earth was never

428
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: meant to be bought, sold, pimped, or played. The students continued, kneeling, boy,

429
00:26:53,920 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: they are obedient, aren't they, And that began a looney lecture.

430
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 2: She was wearing a cafia, so you say that in

431
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: one of those head scarves that covered her entire face.

432
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: She calls herself a poverty scholar. She led the class

433
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: and chance of free, free Palestine. Faculty and staff looked

434
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: on in silence. Oh my god, how fearful everybody is.

435
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: Greg Garcia later referred to modern medicine as white science

436
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: and invaded against the the occupation of Turtle Island. That's

437
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: what she calls the United States. Then she asked students

438
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 2: to stand for a second prayer. Nearly everyone rose, but

439
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: one student remained seated. One student and a UCLA administrator

440
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: immediately asked about the student's identity, implying that discipline could

441
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: be on the table. So they had an enforcer there

442
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: at UCLA administrator enforcing that people kneel and stand for

443
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: the prayer. A Jewish student group said the net effect

444
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: was that UCLA intimidated first year medical students into participating

445
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: in a religious service in derogation of their own personal

446
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: beliefs Usilea did not comment, neither did greg Garcia. The

447
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: class is structural racism and health equity class. Oh my god,

448
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: and there's been a string of these situations going on.

449
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: I thought, I.

450
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: Thought they're supposed to teach doctors how to diagnose sick

451
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 2: people and how to operate on sick people.

452
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: What is this? This is insanity?

453
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 4: U C.

454
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: L A it's infected everywhere. Got I looked in the sun.

455
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 2: Conway whearing is, uh, these are glasses I gotta wear

456
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: for three days?

457
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: You burn your eyes out? I did.

458
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact. I can't read that. Can

00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 5: you read what's on tonight show? I don't know normally

00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: do this. I can't read that.

461
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: Okay, ah, you're gonna have doctor Edwin crepp On Oh

00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: from New Mexico Griffith Observatory.

463
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. David Lazarus, Wow, funny guy for Channel five. Oh, yeah,

464
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,360
