1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,279 Speaker 1: Well, the moment we've been waiting for. Gavin Newsom issued 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: a statement on racist comments by Los Angeles leaders. Do 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: you want to hear it? He agrees with them. It's 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: a simple thumbs up emoji right on words matter. Racist 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: language can do real harm. I'm encouraged that those involved 6 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: have apologized and begun to take responsibility for their actions. 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: These comments have no place in our state or in 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: our politics. We must all model better behavior to live 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: the values that so many of us fight every day 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: to protect. By the way, so he didn't ask that 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: they resign. He said they've apologized and they should move on. 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: Oh that's all it takes. All the other big leaders 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: are saying they should quit. He gets backed off of that. 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: I guess that there is buddies. I guess. I don't know. 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: Maybe someone reached out to them and said, look, they apologize. 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: Can you put out a statement saying that they've taken responsibility. 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: I can't take it. Public apologies by racists like this 18 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: crowd are not to be believed. I don't understand why 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: people think that if you mouth an apology, it's like, oh, 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: it's first of all, they weren't having a heated argument right, 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: you'll apologize when you're in a situation and your your 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: emotions are hot and you blurt something out that's mean, 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: and then you calm down and you say, look, I 24 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: didn't mean that, I just got too angry. These people 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: were in a relaxed setting among friends, talking as casually 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: as you can speak. These are their real feelings, and 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: this is how they conduct policy. Remember, they were there 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: to try to have some influence on the redistricting. They 29 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: wanted to screw over the Black city council people, that's 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: what they wanted to do. And they wanted to expand 31 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: the power of the Hispanic city council people. That was 32 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: the purpose of the discussion. How can we screw the 33 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: black districts and expand the Banic districts. So if that's 34 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: your purpose, then of course you're going to have negative 35 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: feelings against politicians and people from another race. You're trying 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: to take their power away, You're trying to take their 37 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: representation away. So that there's no apology that works here. 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: Nobody should believe any of it. It's not just somebody 39 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: lost their temper for a few minutes. This is the 40 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: way they are all day, every day. So the people 41 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: involved or Nuri Martinez, who was the council president, but 42 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: she resigned that post today, along with the good old 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: pal Gil Sadio and Kevin Di Leone, who apparently still 44 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: doesn't know the pledge of allegiance. Kevin Di Leone ran 45 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: for mayor and didn't horrendously poorly. You think they asked 46 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: him to do it tomorrow meeting. They should, as he 47 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: learned it by then. The fourth person is the La 48 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera, and I just 49 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: looked them up. They are huge. It's it's the second 50 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: largest in the country, representing over three hundred unions and 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: over eight hundred thousand workers. And today the Hollywood Teamsters 52 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: has called for Herrera to resign because people are saying, 53 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: even though his remarks aren't as bad as the others, 54 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: he should have chastised them for their racist slurs. If 55 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: you control hundreds of thousands of voters, you're the most 56 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: powerful person in La politics. If you finance the campaigns 57 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: of all these people in the city council and the mayor, 58 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: you're the most powerful person. This is the guy who's 59 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: the king. This is the guy that people everyone should 60 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: be aware of because he's calling the shots for these 61 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: for these petty little time. Yeah. And I mistakenly thought 62 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: this was public employee unions, but I'm looking at them. No, 63 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: it's a Labour's Union AFLCIO Western Region. So in building, 64 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: in construction trades, that's the problem. The people in the 65 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: unions vote for whoever their leader tell them to, and 66 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: the leaders say, you'll get more money from these people, 67 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: you'll get more benefits from these people. We'll make more 68 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: money managing the union the stuff we skim off the top. 69 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: So that's who you vote for, and then all the 70 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: good union acolytes say yes sir, yes, sir, yes sir. 71 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: They're not interested in what happens to the city. They're 72 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: not interested in anybody else's life. They don't care. They 73 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,559 Speaker 1: don't care about all the crime and all the homeless people. 74 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: What they want is their cut of the city budget. 75 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: And that's true. The county budget and the state budget, 76 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: it's all run by these unions, and there is not 77 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: They're all puppets. All these people are puppets of the unions. 78 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: And what they should have never allowed is for government 79 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: workers to be unionized. Jerry Brown signed that law back 80 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy eight, and that's what really sent California 81 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: on the road to ruin because it gave them the 82 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: chance to run from the inside run the government. So 83 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: the topic, as John mentioned, was redistricting. They were not 84 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: happy with. This is a year ago. These this conversations 85 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: recorded a year ago at the offices of the La 86 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: County Federation of Labor that I just mentioned. And we 87 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: think somebody stuck a phone in there or something, because 88 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: you can tell from the audio they're not exactly At 89 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: first time thought they might be on zoom, but they're 90 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: not on zoom. They're gathered together in some room talking 91 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: about the redistricting process, which they didn't think was going 92 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: particularly well for them, and whoever they want to see 93 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: get elected. That's kind of a theme of this. You know. 94 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: At one point Sadio, they're talking about Sadio's district being redrawn, 95 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: and he says, don't put me in like Eagle Rock 96 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: or Highland Park or I don't need those areas. I 97 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: have poor people. So because they're easily manipulated, they don't 98 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: and they don't vote. They don't vote. A lot of 99 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: them are are illegal, so they can't vote. And and 100 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: and the ones who artly goal can be manipulated. And 101 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: oh he said about Lincoln Heights, the activists of their 102 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: twenty four seven and they don't want us. I know, 103 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: he's come up against the bicycle activists and well he's 104 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: he's he's a loser anyway, He's lost in June. I 105 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: know he is already out of office. Yeah, well he 106 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: is a loser. He got last October though he was 107 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: still running. So he got intimidated by bicycle activists. Seriously, 108 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: the guys in their Spandex pants, their yellow Spandex pants, 109 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: intimidated poor Gil. Well. I think his opponent to this 110 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: unis unis. Hernandez also believes in free rent. She was 111 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: really going for the whole things. He wants to take 112 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: over buildings and all that stuff. And good Communist you're 113 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: gonna see we're gonna have more Communist members Communist Party 114 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: members on the La City Council than we've ever had. 115 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a great run the next few years. Yeah. So, 116 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: o case you don't know, tomorrow there's a scheduled La 117 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: City Council meeting. There'll be one million members of the 118 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: media there for this. She's no longer council president that 119 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: I guess the first order of business would be keep 120 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: somebody else to Some are saying bond and she get 121 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: it because well and if yeah, if you haven't heard, 122 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: she run after Bonnin's uh little son who was two 123 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: or three years old at the time, and called him 124 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: a little monkey in Spanish, which is considered a slur. 125 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's start with that. We have clips two 126 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: and clips three. They're kind of short, but uh, you 127 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: have to listen closely, listening for the word chuck ghito 128 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: at the very big beginnause. Yeah, because this again is 129 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: a little like they put a phone down on the 130 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: floor or something.

Yeah, I don't know 142 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: how toddler tips over the float. And I don't know 143 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: why she would get Oh and she said at the 144 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: beginning it was black and brown people, and then there's 145 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: this one white guy meaning bonnet when they means little monkey. 146 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: Just in case you didn't get that part, Which is 147 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: why this has really gone this. This is why this 148 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: is not a temper tantrum. This is not an unusual moment, 149 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: right that you'll you apologize for. This is her world view. 150 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: This is the prism of how she looks through the world. 151 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: She looks at people and counts, bean counts how many 152 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: people are black? How many or brown? How many or white? 153 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: How many of this or that? Do we have the 154 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: proper proportion? Who's being screwed over here? Who has unfair advantage? 155 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: Even standing on a float. She's offended that Bonnen is 156 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: there because not because he's I mean, I'd be offended 157 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: standing next to Bonnet for a thousand reasons, but not 158 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: his skin color or the skin colors child. She's worked 159 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: up because he's the white man that adopted the black 160 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: child to look like, oh, holier than thou, and I'm 161 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: very worthy because I took care of a needy child 162 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: of a different race, and therefore I did something very important. 163 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: So he doesn't like that. They think he's a phony. 164 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: They think the only reason that Bonnet adopted his son 165 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: was because the sun was black. That's because they say 166 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: it was like an accessory, like a handbag, like a 167 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: Louis Vaton handbag. Is what is what di Leone says. 168 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: All right, here is the next part of Nori Martinez 169 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: where she really goes off about the kid acting up 170 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: at the parade, a little white kid, which I was like, 171 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: let me, let me take him around the corner and 172 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: then I'll bring him back. Yeah you can see they 173 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: go back and yeah, there's no They go back and 174 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: forth in Spanish, sometimes back to English. So so she's 175 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: talking about taking Bonden's kid around the quarter and giving 176 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: him a beat down and bringing him back a beat 177 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: down for a little three or three year old, and 178 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: then she says he's acting like a white kid. That like, 179 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: just white kids are rambunctious and jump around. No, no, 180 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: nobody with no child with a different skin color acts 181 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: like that. It's just white children. I guess because white 182 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: children are privileged, and therefore they take advantage of the 183 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: situation and act out. Or is it the lack of 184 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: melanin in the skin that causes you to jump up 185 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: and down. They're spoiled, they're given all of life's riches 186 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: upon birth. That's what's what they said, is that he's 187 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: raising him like a white kid. All right, that's what 188 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: they said. Yes, when we come back, we'll play more 189 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: of this audio. They go after a fellow city council 190 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: member by the name of Nitia Raman. But when we 191 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: come back, the first thing we're going to play is 192 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: they attacked members of the Latino race. Well, Hawkins and 193 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: a town. Kind of a weird diversion. Johnny Ken caf 194 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: I AM six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app 195 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: The theme is kind of they are who we thought 196 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: they were. These are three members of the Los Angeles 197 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: City Council. They are Latino. They're discussing redistricting with the 198 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: president of the La County Federation of Labor, a very 199 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: important eight hundred thousand member group which holds a lot 200 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: of power. Is that the County Federation of Labor offices. 201 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: We don't know yet how this conversation was recorded or 202 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: by whom, but it was posted on Reddit and then deleted. 203 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: But before that happened, it was picked up by media 204 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: out and to cluing the Elsagondo Times, which went with 205 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: a story big time yesterday to reveal this because these 206 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: three along with the Federation president or you know, they're 207 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: kind of bitter the La City Council. If you see 208 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: life as race and quotas, they're bitter. La City Council 209 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: has fifteen seats. There are four held by Latinos. The 210 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: city population of Latinos is so you can see there's 211 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: a little bitterness and that they have to do more 212 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: to get more representation and effectively more power because a 213 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: lot of this, I mean, there are disproportionately, there were 214 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: more black seats than there was a population of black people. 215 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: You said six percent roughly the population seven percent seven yeah, 216 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: seven points something, yeah, seven percent of blacks. And they 217 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: think that the blacks are not only overrepresented on the council, 218 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: but just they're they're they're they're too loud, they're they're 219 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: too prevalent. It seems like these Hispanic councilmen are people 220 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: are are tired of having to deal with those issues 221 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: and reacting to their complaints. But I have a feeling 222 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: they weren't exactly on board with all the George Floyd protests. 223 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: Put it that way, right, they think that the power 224 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: of the African Americans in the city of la is 225 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: out of proportion to their actual percentage of the population. Yes, 226 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that's kind of what's 227 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: going on here because they're trying to figure out how 228 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: to win elections and what to do, and a lot 229 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: of times they're upset with activist groups and community groups. 230 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: This next clip, though, it took a bit of a turn, 231 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: and Nourri Martinez leads the charge, probably using the F word. Well, 232 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: we don't have the full recording, but I've seen excerpts 233 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: where she just says it like every fifth word. She's 234 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: picking on what hawkins in Koreatown. Now, Wahaka is a 235 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: state in Mexico, and apparently, according to Norri Martinez and 236 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: her colleagues here, uh, well they're ugly there. Let's listen, 237 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: there are a mix of local Indian groups and the 238 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: Spanish conquerors. Right, so but he she finds their skin 239 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: color too dark. So listen to this. Yeah, I see 240 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: a lot of little short, dark people, not even like 241 00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: given little one. I don't know what minute thinking got here, 242 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: but whales, I get what we have to do, right, 243 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: just massage to create districts that benefit you are. But 244 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: we got to figure out mark C two. You know 245 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: is the mark really Thomas is if they got to 246 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: figure out who to get in there? Suspended. I don't 247 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. I think if he should 248 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: be but anyhow, if he goes away, you mean you 249 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: mean resign. This is a if he resigns, hold on. 250 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: If he resigns, and the African Americans milk at this 251 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: as a hostile take hold because he's gone. We stopped 252 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: there for a second. Okay, so she's worried it Really 253 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: Thomas resigns and if they don't put someone else who's 254 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: black in the district, then the black voters they are 255 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: going to look at it as a hostile takeover and 256 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: this is going to be trouble. Okay, This this is 257 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: again is how they governed the city. Yeah, well, then 258 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: continue because Kevin di leone goes in another direction here, 259 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: we all have to figure that politically. Come out. Yeah, 260 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: but can I say something right now. And it's what 261 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: I call the the it's the commos. This guy's the 262 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: movie the Wizard of Oz effect. You know what I 263 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: mean by the Wizard of Oz effect. When you're on 264 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: the side of the curtain, it's like this, big boys, big, 265 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: it sounds like this. And then when you actually pulled 266 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: the curtain, is that you see the little Wizard of Oz. 267 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: You know what I don't never watched the movie. It's 268 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. M all right. It's really simple. One 269 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: hundred people, right, fifty two of them. I feel pretty 270 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: good about it. I feel pretty good about my chances 271 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: and being here twenty five for black twenty five blacks 272 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: a shouting, but there's a big shouting like they're two 273 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. Ye, well, there's one hundred of them, 274 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: so sore you go. So you heard Kevin de Leone 275 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: lay it out there that he believes some of the 276 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: black activists and black groups get too much power and voice, right, 277 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: they're too loud. So he made the odds comparison that 278 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: they're loud, like ah oh, memoire the os. But you 279 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: pull back the curtain, it's not that many voters back there, right, 280 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: So they have an outsized influence in what's in what's 281 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: going on right? Oh when the Alsagunda Times, colonists are 282 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: all worked up because now you're pitting two underrepresented racial 283 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: groups against each other. Look what they're doing to each other. Well, 284 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. They are they're pitted against each other. 285 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: You had the black leaders pitted against the Hispanic leaders. 286 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: None of them care that these neighborhoods are filled with 287 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: all kinds of garbage, all kinds of homeless people, that 288 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: normal people in these neighborhoods are terrified by the crime 289 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: going on in the gangs. That's not what they discuss. 290 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: They discuss the power that they're going to have, which 291 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: is really the money that they're going to take in 292 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: and the influence that they're going to have. I mean, 293 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this doesn't everyone's going to focus on on 294 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: the all the hateful racist rhetoric, but focus on how 295 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: they what they value, and how they conduct business. It's 296 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: about what they control, what they want for themselves and 297 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: also their their ethnic group. But it's not about baking 298 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: the city livable. They don't care if the city goes 299 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: to hell because they probably all live in nice homes. 300 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: They make big salaries, they've got slush funds, they got 301 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: campaign donors, they go on junkets, they travel, well, they're 302 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: going to have influence. That's why they're fighting over. You know, 303 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: who's going to have the airport in their district, Who's 304 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: going to have LAX in their district? And you know 305 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: it should be in in a Hispanic person's district. It 306 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't be in a white person's district or a black 307 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: person's district. That's what they're fighting about. You know, where's 308 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: USC going to be. It's gonna be in an Hispanic 309 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: district or a black district because you know, they want 310 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: they want the cache USC, they want the pull, they 311 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: want the money from all the all the people who 312 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: run USC. That's that's what they're talking about here. And 313 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: they don't leave the white people alone. They made several 314 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: comments about the white power brokers and you have to 315 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: talk to them and stuff like that, and some of 316 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: the other white council members are very powerful and well 317 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: you know that you look at everything they do. They 318 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: are all these excerpts we got are all just about 319 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: racial angles. Oh you look at the you know, the 320 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: population scoreboard, and it's about fifty percent Hispanic about twenty 321 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: six percent white, thirteen percent Asian, and about seven percent black. 322 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: So they're looking at who has the power, and they're saying, geez, 323 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: you add up everybody else in the city combined, and 324 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: we have more people, and look how little power we have, 325 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: how little money we have, how few assets we have. 326 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: That's what pisses them off, right, So they want to 327 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: rework the redistricting lines to try to increase their power 328 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: and their access to money and assets. All Right, more 329 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: coming up, John and Ken camf I Am six four 330 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. One of the stories 331 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: making use today is apparently a Russian well, a pro 332 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: Russia hacking group was going after airports today. Now, this 333 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: is the LAX website itself. Wage I've never been to 334 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles International Airport website. It was inaccessible for 335 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: a period of time. Today they a group called killnet, 336 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: a hacking group which is pro Russian, listed fourteen websites, 337 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: including LAX and the airport in Atlanta that it was targeting. 338 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: They don't believe it had any effect. There were no 339 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: disruptions to operations or airport systems, and of course they 340 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: didn't hack the airline's websites. But they're hacking to LAX's website. 341 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: But they're still concerned that if they are successful, it 342 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: could affect operations, so they got to make sure that 343 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: they don't. They're not able to do that. So the 344 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: Russians are out there. That's just the story today, and 345 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: they're trying to hack their way in. All right, Let's 346 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: go back to some of the audio of the La 347 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: City council member Marie Martinez, Gil Sedillo and Kevin di 348 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: Leone along with the La County Federation of Labor president. 349 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: They're discussing redistricting at the County Labor Federation's offices. They 350 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: got recorded. It's a year ago, but the audio has 351 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: just appeared publicly and we have some of it here. 352 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: Let's move Oh, it's another Mike Bonnen discussion. We'll move 353 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: on here to cut number seven, where they're discussing the 354 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: fact that one of the black councilman, Marquise Harris Dawson, 355 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: wants a better property in his district, you know, like 356 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: they were fighting. It was a fighting with another councilman 357 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: over usc and Exposition Park, and the talk here is 358 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: about maybe getting the airport. I just mentioned LAX from 359 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: Mike Bonnen's district. Let's listening back to Marquis. I told Danny, 360 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: if you want to hire a deal and if you 361 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: want to if you want to make like the Boston moves, 362 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: I would go after the air for I know that idea. 363 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't go at all. Who'll get the airport from 364 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: his little brother, a little blond people? I go, I go, 365 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: what is what not? I don't think he's a Bonnin. 366 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: Thinks he's bleeping black, is what she's saying there. Of course, 367 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: he adopted a young black child, so Louri Martinez is 368 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: obsessed with this angle. She doesn't like bonding at all. No, no, 369 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: it's justesn't like the fact that he adopted a black child. 370 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: She just thinks that's terrific. It doesn't like a black 371 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: trying to be opposer of some kind. She doesn't like 372 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: white people who adopt black children. So she's saying, because 373 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: she refers to him twice as his brother, Marquise Harris 374 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: Dawson is black, and she's acting like Bondon's black. So 375 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: he should just go to his brother and try to 376 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: get la X for his district or expand it read 377 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, the readistrict boundaries would include lax in his district. 378 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: That's what she's mentioning there. So and then uh dee 379 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: de Leon kind of sticks in there. But his kid 380 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: is yeah about yeah, hey, I've never seen why would 381 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: they be fixated so much on the kid? I will 382 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: racial purity, John Shore. Were some people that believe that 383 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: only people these I think these particular politicians, especially nor Martinez, 384 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: Latinos only gonna help Latinos. So we need to stick together. 385 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: So now Bonnin adopts a black child, Dad's going outside 386 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: the book there. That's not right, and he's doing it 387 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: to try to look politically correct or look, you know, 388 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: holier than now. I think it really offended her. I 389 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: think it did. And then when the kid acts up 390 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: on the prey float, she just lost it. Yeah, well 391 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: that's just how client members think. BlimE members think you 392 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't mix the races. My members think that white people 393 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't be and there are a lot of people of 394 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: all races who believe that, yeah, you should not very common, 395 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: which which you know, everyone's in the end though, it's 396 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: not what people say, it's what they do. A lot 397 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: of America does live in segregated neighborhoods. And a lot 398 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: of people only marry within their race. Maybe that's changing, 399 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: but that's, you know, that's been the history. I don't 400 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: care what people do, and I don't care about people's beliefs. 401 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: But this crowd are a bunch of hypocritical progressives who 402 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: are constantly lecturing everyone else about race and division, acting 403 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: like their racial healers. And and always, I always say 404 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: that every group is full of racists, every group is 405 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: full of hatred nobody. Everybody likes their own people, and 406 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: many people don't like the other, whatever it is. And 407 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm just tired of hearing self righteous holier than now 408 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: politicians act like they are God's gift to diversity and 409 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: that they have special moral powers, and that they're unlike 410 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: everyone else. You're not unlike everyone else. You're just faking it. 411 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: This is what progressive sound like in their living rooms. 412 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: This is what progressive sound like in meeting rooms. They're 413 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: just like everyone else. But they tried, they try to cancel, 414 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: They try to lecture, the scold scream racism because it's 415 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: effective at getting power. And that's that's what I've seen 416 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: over the years. It is very effective in making people 417 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: cower so you can get power over them. But that's 418 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: why they use these racism rants, is to get power 419 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: over you, to make you feel intimidated and frightened that 420 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: you're going to be drummed out of society and ostracized. 421 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: But they act exactly the same way in private. The 422 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: last clip we're going to play tells you all you 423 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: need to know about this meeting again. Ron Herrera is 424 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: the president of the La County Federation of Labor eight 425 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: hundred thousand union members. This meeting was held at his 426 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: office with these three Latino City Council members, and in 427 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: this clip you can see what it's really all about, 428 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: in the powerbroker that he is. You know all this. 429 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: I mean, my goal in life is to get the 430 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: be you elected, and you know I'm just focused on that. 431 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we're like the little Latino Coffee so our 432 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: you know, our owners. Yeah, and we have to find, 433 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: you know, new folks to bring in. Bloominfield was in 434 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: here the other day, right, he goes Latin. Why do 435 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: we have to do that? I go the way I 436 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: see it, All of the seats are Latino. What do 437 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: you say? You know, you had a point there, you know, 438 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: what what do we say fifty two percent of the 439 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: population is Latino his mentor the reason we're so very 440 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: manner in the valley. Right, they're referring to the Valley 441 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: councilman Bob bloomin Field, and I guess Herrera says he 442 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: came in here and wanted to know what we could do. 443 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: When the response for Rrera was, I basically think the 444 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: whole La City Council should be Latino representation and fifty 445 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: two percent of the population. And yeah, there you go. 446 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: But this is there is another angle to this, besides 447 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: all the racism we've talked about that the union power 448 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: here with these three hacks in front of them, we're 449 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a Latino caucus. We're gonna make this happen. 450 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, because eight hundred thousand voters right right, they 451 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: just need to redraw the districts to get more Hispanics 452 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: in some of the districts to tip the balance and 453 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: somehow get them motivated to vote, which seems to be 454 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: very difficult. Now, all right, we got more coming up, 455 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: John and Ken kf I am six forty live everywhere 456 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Of course, when you have a 457 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: million illegal immigrants, that that's part of the problem, right, 458 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: all right, we'll pass this along. We don't know where 459 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna go, but it's probably worth mentioning. This is 460 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: the people behind the attempted recall of George Gascon. Remember them, Yeah, 461 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: they put out a release today Their initial review reveals 462 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: substantial number of improperly invalidated signatures and they are filing 463 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: for what is called injunctive relief. Again is the headline. 464 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: They they say in their press release. In September six, 465 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: volunteer attorneys for the Recall DA George Gascon Committee have 466 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: been conducting a review of what are supposed to be 467 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: the invalidated signatures. Clear obvious and legitimate challenges have identified 468 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: for thirty nine percent of the invalidated signatures reviewed to date. 469 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: What they're saying is here, they didn't look at all 470 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: of the invalidated signatures, but they got some of them, 471 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: and they're finding a big problem. And the one that 472 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: stood out to me some of them's about not matching. 473 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: But remember what we found from the LA County Registrar 474 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: voters and rejected signatures was that people were not registered. 475 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: Remember that, and they claim here signatures incorrectly invalidated is 476 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: not registered. When in fact the person was a registered 477 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: voter who could easily be identified in the voter database. 478 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is going to lead somewhere. This 479 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: is what they're putting out in their press release, and 480 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: they're trying to find a way to get more of 481 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: the signatures to review and maybe make a legal case. 482 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: That's all I'm seeing here. I met so many a 483 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. It was involved in the Mike 484 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: bond and recall, and she had reviewed a lot of 485 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: the signatures that were disallowed, and she said it was 486 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: over the tiniest, most inconsequential violations, like if the signature 487 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: had strayed a little bit outside the box, that kind 488 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: of that kind of thing. But that's not the problem here. 489 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: And we talked about this signature matching is what they 490 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: tried to prepare us for. But what the registrar said, 491 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: the bulk of the signatures they threw out just weren't 492 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: even registered. Damn voters. Forget the signature. They don't exist 493 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: as registered voters. That's pretty simple if they find a 494 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: lot of those was screwed up. But what I'm saying 495 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: is they've got a lot of tricks to deny these petitions. 496 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: You can't prove either a person as a registered voter 497 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: or not. But you could just cheat. You could just 498 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: you can sit there and say, well, subjectively speaking, I 499 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,719 Speaker 1: don't think that's his signature. We expected that, But to 500 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: try something so blatant as this person's not even a 501 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: registered voter in l County or in California. But but 502 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: but look how difficult it is to try to investigate it, 503 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: and how well that may be the problem. You're right, 504 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: I see, that's the thing. It's totally like our arms 505 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: are folded. We did, and we're done right away. You 506 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: just do it. You just deny the petition, and it's like, yeah, 507 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,719 Speaker 1: you go prove Otherwise it's going to cost you a 508 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: lot of money. It's going to cost you a lot 509 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: of time. You are going to get tired of fighting. 510 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: You don't have the will to fight this, and we're 511 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: gonna make it as complicated as possible. You just do it, 512 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: and it works. You don't have to have any justification 513 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: for it. That could be the endgame here. I'm not 514 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: rolling that out. Yeah, well, I don't know how much 515 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: money they have to keep pursuing this. You're right, legally, 516 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: it's going to call it be costly to continue to 517 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: challenge this. The whole the whole system here in La County, 518 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: La City is absolutely corrupt. You know, if I told 519 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: you this was going on in Moscow in nineteen seventy five, 520 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: you wouldn't question it. That's what we have here. We 521 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: have Moscow nineteen seventy five. We have one party rule. 522 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: They're dictatorial, they're oppressive, and they they are just gonna lie, 523 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: cheat and steal that You heard those you heard those 524 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: city council people on the ballot right, Well, what what 525 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: what is the redrawing district thing? That's corruption. That's corruption 526 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: in order to rig elections to make sure that their 527 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: tribe has more seats and the other tribe has less seats. 528 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: That's not that's not democracy. That's them carving up the spoils. Man. 529 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: This is what people fail to realize all the time 530 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: we talk about this. These political parties are just about winning, right. 531 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: They could give a fly and bleep about view or 532 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: any of the problems. If you've kept mentioning you don't 533 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: talk about homeless in crime. We just want to win 534 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: because if we win, we get to bring our people in, 535 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 1: We get to get public employee salaries. We get to 536 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: build a base, right, and that organization that Ron Herrera, 537 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: the head of the organization that was part of that 538 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: meeting with with with what's a council memory Martinez Uh, 539 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: he said, he represents eight hundred thousand people, those eight 540 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: hundred house and don't give a rats ass about all 541 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: these problems because they're getting richly rewarded with tax money 542 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: through their contracts, richly rewarded pensions, health benefits, lifetime jobs 543 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: they can't be fired from, and healthy salaries. So they 544 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: don't care if the city goes to hell. They're not 545 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: like regular people who are saying, hey, what the hell's 546 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: going on? Ladn used to be like this. It's like, hey, 547 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: ella's in the toilet. But look what I got here. 548 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: Look at the prize I got through my union because 549 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: of the people we vote for who were indebted to us. Oh, 550 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: you're right, the labor union is the most important thing. 551 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: That's why they went to this guy's office to talk 552 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: about redistricting, because he helps bring in the votes and 553 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: they dontate the money. You think those three would sit 554 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: in the office there if he wasn't. He wasn't the 555 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: king and they had to kiss his ring. No, of 556 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,479 Speaker 1: course not. Yeah, so there you go, Ron Harreri. You know, 557 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: he's the corrupt bastard's that's running a la city exactly. 558 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: The rest of them are just his puppets. Puppets. All right, 559 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: Well we'll wait and see tomorrow. That wanna be a 560 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: raucous city council meeting if it if it gets pulled off, 561 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: they're supposed to meet tomorrow. It just doesn't seem like this, 562 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: this one's gonna get forgotten. Just seems like there's there's 563 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of anger. A lot of 564 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: people are really I mean, it's just funny when you 565 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: actually get the proof, the video or the audio, it 566 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: shuts up a lot of people. It's like, no, really 567 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: they are racist, they are corrupt, They really are horrible people. 568 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: Now you can't argue otherwise. Yeah, except this time you're 569 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: kind of asking, because this is all democratic, left progressive 570 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: to turn on each other, right, Yeah, well that's what 571 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: some of those else are gonna do. Times columnists are 572 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: trying to do time, let's not go there, let's not 573 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: do that. Well, let's go there. We've got to work 574 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: for more power together. Let's go there. One way. Hey, now, hey, 575 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: now you know, well we're gonna go over this Nori 576 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: Martin and stuff. Not a lot, because it's all been 577 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: said all day long, right, but the one with their 578 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: own perspective, you want. I think my perspective is that, Look, 579 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: if these three people were working at a gas station 580 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: in Victorville and you pass by the conversation, you we 581 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: were like, Okay, that's just three people having a conversation 582 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: or not. I'm not talking about the people in Victorville, 583 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: but it could be Tarzan, it could be Woodland Hills, 584 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: it could be Colt right, right, you're just past three 585 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: people talking like that in seven eleven. You wouldn't even 586 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: blink an eye. Yeah, it's a lot of people talk, right, 587 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: but these are the people making decisions in powerful places. 588 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: That's the rub and lecturing everybody else about racism, that's right, yes, right, 589 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 1: And and every time you know, we think, wow, this 590 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: country has come a long way, this pops up. We 591 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: tell ourselves a lot of fantasies, right, But but I 592 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: think with the younger generation, look, those people are still 593 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: old school, even though they're a little younger than you know, 594 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: my grandparents, who are you know, would be in their 595 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: nineties or hundreds right now, that generation is losing a little. 596 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: But I think my kids and your kids, or my 597 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: kid and your kids, I don't think they'll ever talk 598 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: like that, right, I don't. I think that that would 599 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: be so ostracizing to talk like that, that they would 600 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: be so ashamed of themselves they wouldn't do it. Right. Yeah, 601 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: But that generation right right like right below us, there's 602 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: still a little uh, a few folks wandering around, you know. 603 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: So they're all on the city council. Yeah, that's right there. 604 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: That saw that. They're all in the city council. And 605 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: I and and anyway, well I'll discussed that as much 606 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: as it, you know, needs to be discussed. And then 607 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,959 Speaker 1: I foam number fourteen. Yeah, look at that calling nine 608 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: one one on a roller coaster. That's pretty good. Uh. 609 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 1: And then also, what, um, the NFL is not on tonight? 610 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: That game got rained down, but it was supposed to 611 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: be a pretty good game tonight on the Yeah yeah, yeah, 612 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders game got round. I was gonna go watch that, okay, 613 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, weird inside. And I think it 614 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: was in Kansas City, complete storm by the way, I 615 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: was at the Rams game yesterday and they bowed Kim 616 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: Kardashian on the big screen. I saw that. Yeah, that's 617 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: wild man, there's still hope. And I helped. But she 618 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: had those big crazy I think they were bowing her glasses. 619 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: You those big ass sunglasses. Oh yeah, you know, it 620 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: looks like a miata. And they put her name up 621 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 1: there in the whole crab. They were offensive line. Yeah, yeah, 622 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: that's not there. That that's not her crab. I know, 623 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: I know. But the Rams, wait, you said, did you 624 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: sit through the whole game? Ken? I left with three 625 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: minutes to go. It was pathetic. It was horrible. You 626 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: heard Eric mumble about the offensive line. That is the problem. 627 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 1: But it's the It's like the old Rams when they 628 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: first came here from Saint Louis, right, they had no 629 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: offense at the beginning with Jeff Fisher as coach. It 630 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 1: was terrible. It was the worst. Yeah, and they got 631 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: to go to Jared Goff and it got a little better. 632 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: And now we have to look a great game yesterday. Guys, 633 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: they want to shut up, shot up Crowzer. He's a cowboy. 634 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: He's a huge Cowboys fan. It's gonna be a long 635 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: night here. But um, they all they want a Super Bowl, 636 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: so they all sign these fat contracts and now they're 637 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: not hungry. Well yeah, it's yeah, that's part. Now.
