I don't know if you saw, but now 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: the governor and the Attorney General have announced that they're 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: going to deploy prosecutors and the National Guard into Oakland 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: because Pamela Price, the DA there, who is elected the 38 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: same as chessa voting in San Francisco, recalled George Gascon 39 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: in La Is. These progressive enlightened, awakened woke prosecutors. They 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: know better than you and me, right, John, Yeah, But 41 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: now she has failed, and they've got to send in 42 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: the National Guard and a deputy Attorney generals to prosecute 43 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: these criminals because they can't say it, but she has failed. 44 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: Todd Spitzer's here on Live on Instagram, by the way, 45 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: Live on Instagram, and you can watch me talk to 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: Todd on the phone. I didn't understand sending prosecutors there. 47 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: Does that mean that Pamela Price is overwhelmed with too 48 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: much work to do? Or are these people going to 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: take over the cases that she refuses to prosecute. 50 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 2: It's twofold. Not only is she refusing to prosecute these 51 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 2: serious crimes because she doesn't believe in prosecution, but her 52 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: prosecutors have resigned and left. They've gone to San Francisco 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 2: and other District attorney's offices across the state. They don't 54 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 2: want to work for a DA who's actually a public defender. 55 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: In fact, the public defender sent out a press release 56 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: today John in Oakland saying he objects to the governor 57 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 2: and the Attorney General sending resources to Oakland because he's 58 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: going to be overwhelmed with work. Well, I say to him, 59 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: mister public defender, did you give back the resources when 60 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: you were underwhelmed with work when Pamela got elected? Did 61 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: you say I don't have any work, which you know 62 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: I got a layoff people. Let me tell you what 63 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: the game changer is, John, in Oakland, do you know 64 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: what the big game changer was which caught the governor 65 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: and the Attorney general's attention? What the closing of In 66 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: and Out? Nothing? This has been going on since Pamela 67 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: got elected. John, This has been going on for two years. Yeah, 68 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: I know, it can't. How do you explain that In 69 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: and Out has to close? Klorox has its headquarters there 70 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: with Kaiser Permanente. Their employees aren't even safe to walk 71 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: to their cars. They have to hire security to escort them. 72 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: But when In and Out has captured, right, we all 73 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,119 Speaker 2: love In and Out? Yeah, when that's on the front 74 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: page is saying we are leaving Oakland. This place is assesspool. 75 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: There's crime everywhere. We are not going to do business. 76 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: Suddenly the governor has to send in the National Guard. 77 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, nobody can claim In and Out is not 78 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: doing well, that they don't have enough business and that's 79 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: why they closed. If in and out closes it is, 80 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: they're just all terrified of getting killed. 81 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: John. The only in and out that Awoke DA supports 82 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: is the in and out of smashing grabs in and 83 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: steal out as quickly as possible. That's the in and 84 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: out that they support. 85 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: All right. So the National Guards come it in and 86 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: you've got special prosecution team coming in, and there's a 87 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: recall movement against her because we had the woman who's 88 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: organizing the recall on yesterday. 89 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: So on the NUBACP, which is a very very progressive organization, 90 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 2: is behind the recall of one of their own, saying 91 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: that Pam Price it has failed to protect Oakland. Even 92 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: the NAACP has turned against her. And on the initiative, 93 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: the San Francisco Mayor London Breed and the San Jose 94 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: Mayor Matt Mahan, they've both endorsed the initiative that you 95 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: and I are working together to get passed. They are 96 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: sick of it too. 97 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: I was going to say, you're talking about two hardcore 98 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: progressives elected by progressives to lead two huge cities in California, 99 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Mahan and London Breed, and they have switched sides. 100 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: What choice do they have because listen, you and you 101 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: and listen. You've been talking about this forever. I've been 102 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 2: talking about it forever. But guess what their constituents are 103 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: finally turning against them. They know that safety is going 104 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: to be the number one issue in the presidential primary 105 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: and all the elections coming up in March. It's going 106 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: to be talked about and is being talked about every 107 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: single day. Lack of border security, increase crime by Roumanians, 108 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: increase crime by Chileans, no homeland security with majorcas it failed, 109 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: but it brought the discussion up to the highest levels 110 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: that homeland security is non existent. People are sick and 111 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: tired of this. John, and you and I. I know 112 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: you're not going to stop. You know I'm not going 113 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: to stop. We're going to keep talking about it and 114 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: telling everybody until election day. The person that I think 115 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: who could be one of the most important spokespeople is 116 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 2: won the business community. But what about all the jobs? 117 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: What about all the people that can't work now because 118 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: businesses are leaving the communities. Where are these people going 119 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: to go? How are they going to pay their bills? 120 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: This is starting to resonate with middle class Californians and 121 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: people are sick of it. The rich people will always 122 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: figure out how to get along. This is really starting 123 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: to hit the middle class, which is why Democrat mayors 124 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: are waking up. 125 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: Could you stay with us for another segment because I 126 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: want to get to specifically in this proposition, all right, 127 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: so people understand what they're voting for, as you know 128 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: often they don't.

But 173 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: what I want to tell you what's its effect going 174 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: to be? I am sick and tired of seeing homeless 175 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 2: live on our streets who are drug addicted, and yet 176 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: they continue to turn in and out of our jails 177 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: and we never solve their problem. I'm sick and tired 178 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 2: of the smash and grabs and people going in in 179 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 2: concert gangs of individuals and they steal hundreds of thousands 180 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: of dollars of property, right And I'm sick and tired 181 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: of drug dealers killing individuals by supplying them with drugs 182 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: that contain Sentinel, and that the fentanyl ends up killing somebody. 183 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: So if you want to join me and John Cobel 184 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: in our sickness with the direction that Prop forty seven 185 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: is created and the direction California is going, then I'm 186 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: begging you, I'm literally begging you to come to the 187 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: Hauntess Center on the twenty second and sign this petition. 188 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: We've got to change California and get it safe again. 189 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: So let's talk about fentanyl. What this does is this 190 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 2: says if you use drugs, hard drugs, the kinds of 191 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: drugs we all know, meth setimine, heroin, fentanyl, and you 192 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: have two two convictions from possessing those drugs, we on 193 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: the third time we can force you into treatment, and 194 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,599 Speaker 2: you have a choice. Dora is treatment, door b is jail. 195 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: We want you to get into treatment and deal with 196 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 2: your addiction. If you don't go into treatment and you 197 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: look at jail, then guess what, that's where we're going 198 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: to start putting people because that's where people need to 199 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: go when they break the law and they won't do 200 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: anything to help themselves. John, you're empathetic for the most part, 201 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 2: and I'm empathetic for the most part. I'm like you, 202 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: but I will tell you where you and I are 203 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: joined at the hip. We will help people, but I 204 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 2: will not help people or spend my harder and taxpayer 205 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: money to do something for somebody who doesn't want to 206 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: help themselves. And so the door for them is b 207 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: get help, finish the program, and we will expunge your record. 208 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 2: That sounds fair to me, yeah. 209 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: Because it doesn't. It doesn't help them to let them 210 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: die on the street. 211 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 2: That's right, So let's get them into treatment. Everybody wants treatment. 212 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: I hear all this talk about money for treatment, and 213 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: guess what, we don't have any ability today to force 214 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: somebody into treatment after Prop forty seven. So that's what 215 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: it does there. What it does secondly, that's for the 216 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: mentally illed individuals on the street using drugs. The second 217 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: thing it does, which is amazing, is it deals with 218 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 2: smashing grabs and it says if you go in with 219 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: a group of people and you take more than fifty 220 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, that's going to be treated like a serious 221 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 2: crime and we can go after you and prosecute you. 222 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 2: The other thing it does is it restores a crime 223 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: called petty theft with a prior that we used to 224 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: have before Prop forty seven that if you have a 225 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: prior conviction for theft, and you do it again, it 226 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: doesn't matter what the dollar amount is. We can charge 227 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: you with a felony today. These thieves can go into 228 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 2: home depot, target lows and they can steal and come 229 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 2: back and steal. And if they keep it under nine 230 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars and repeatedly steal, they know nothing's 231 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: going to happen to them. It's the misdemeanor. It's a 232 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: site and release. They're not taken to jail. It's a 233 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: complete joke. This says, if you've been caught and convicted 234 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 2: twice before, two times before that on the third one, 235 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 2: my people as prosecutors, we can charge you with a 236 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: felony and start taking care of business and start getting 237 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: your attention and start getting some serious jail time. So 238 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: we have the force treatment for those who have convictions 239 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: for a possession of drugs and we give them Dory 240 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 2: or door B. We can crack down on sentinel dealers 241 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: by giving them an advisement. We tell them if they're 242 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: pedaling drugs. Sir or madam, do you understand that you 243 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: are a peddler drugs and you're pleading guilty today, Yes, 244 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: I do your honor. Do you understand that if the 245 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: next time we catch you and you are selling or 246 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: pedaling drugs and those drugs contain Sentinel and it turns 247 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: out that that sentinel killed the human being, do you 248 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: understand that you could be charged with murdering the future. 249 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 2: We do that John every day. For drunk driving. We 250 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 2: tell people every day, if you commit drunk driving in 251 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 2: the future and you kill somebody, you could be charged 252 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: with murder. We just want to do what we do 253 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 2: for drunk driving for fentanyl. So those are the three things. 254 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 2: It deals with drug addicts, It deals with sentinel dealers, 255 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: and it deals with smash and grab and repeat thieves. 256 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: And you know what, that's darn reasonable. 257 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: Yes it is. And it used to be that way 258 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: those laws. We used to go after people who repeatedly 259 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: stole from stores. We used to offer people two choices, 260 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: either treatment or jail. That was more or less the 261 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: law until twenty fourteen. And with the fentinyl upgrade here, 262 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: that is what we do with drunk drivers and have 263 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: done for years. And that sentinel upgrade is what was 264 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: blocked by the Assembly and Cented Public Safety Committee within 265 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: the past year. They wouldn't pass that kind of felony 266 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: upgrade for fentanyl trafficking, which is why we've got this proposition. 267 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: You're darn right, John, and that's why the people the 268 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: state of California need to step up and tell these 269 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: knuckleheads in the legislature enough is enough. And you know what, 270 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: our governor, right, this is a good way to close 271 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: this segment. John, Our governor wants to be the president 272 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: of the United States, and he knows that the way 273 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: he's run California will not get him to the White 274 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: House in Washington, DC, because he's destroyed California. So now 275 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: he's going to be tough, and he's going to send 276 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: the National Guard into Oakland because in and Out is leaving, 277 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: and that's almost like God and country. Yes, So now 278 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: he's got to use in and out as his way 279 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 2: to say I will not tolerate this in Oakland or 280 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: in California. It's his only prayer if he has any 281 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: chance of becoming president, and he's more motivated by his 282 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 2: own selfish interests than he is in protecting us. 283 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: Well, his ambition may be the best weapon we have. 284 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: It is the best weapon, and we're going to exploit it. 285 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: All right, very good, Todd. We will talk again, all right, 286 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: because I want to promote the hell out of this thing. 287 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: I want a big crowd. Oh.

They caught 321 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: the woman who stole the dog, but after a day 322 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: that woman was released, Sadie Slater. She somehow posted bail 323 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: set at seventy thousand dollars, so she's on the loose. 324 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: Let's get to Ali on Ali Zacharias, whose dog Onyx 325 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: is still men for having me, I feel silly asking, 326 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: but there's not not a thread of any indication where 327 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: your dog might be. 328 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 5: You know, the detective willon't tell me anything. What I've 329 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 5: heard is also from the news, so I also am 330 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 5: following the story obviously closely, but the detective doesn't feel 331 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 5: like sharing with me. I'm feeling very frustrated because the 332 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 5: woman was released within twenty four hours, And why don't 333 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 5: they know where my dog is? Like, if they had 334 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 5: her on custody, why would they found out where he is? 335 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 5: I don't understand that she didn't. And I see then 336 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 5: the rest pictures. They had the driver and cuffs two, 337 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 5: but then they also let him go without even charging 338 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 5: him with anything because they didn't recognize them. So I 339 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 5: just frustrated they were both there and the dog wasn't there. 340 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 5: Then where is my dog? And why are they dropping 341 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 5: the ball on that point. 342 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: Some of the evidence they have is a photograph of 343 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: her holding the dog, along with text messages she was 344 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: sending to her friend. Yeah, and let me just get 345 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: that here. The text message had Slater telling someone, do 346 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: you know who would want to buy him for twenty 347 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: five hundred or two hundred? I think they meant two thousand. 348 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: Looks like that was a typo, and the person responded, 349 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: I have no idea. The time stamp on the thread 350 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: is five nineteen am. That could be the next morning. 351 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: So they didn't They didn't sell or give away on 352 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: X right away. 353 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 5: Well, that that came out prior to her arrist right. 354 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: So now she's arrested. And how did she get seventy 355 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of bail? I mean, I imagine that 356 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: she had to come up. 357 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 5: With seven and I guess you can make payment plans. 358 00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 5: I guess, I mean, I. 359 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: Guess, yeah, there's probably a bond involved there. But so 360 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: so you think the shirtless guy with braids in the 361 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: other photo was the driver, but you're not sure? 362 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 5: Correct? No, I do think that. I know that. 363 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, did they ask you to make an ID on him? 364 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 5: I'll do that on Monday. 365 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: Well, you made an ID on Slater and they arrested her. 366 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: You made an ID on him, and he's driving the 367 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: getaway car and no rest on him. 368 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 5: I'm going to be doing it on mondayday. He didn't 369 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 5: get an idea. They didn't have me ask my idea 370 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 5: yet on him. 371 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: So you just wait every day. Huh. 372 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm really getting frustrated, at the point where I 373 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 5: don't want to wait. I want to like, so I 374 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 5: know they people live, and I know they took my dog. 375 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 5: So I mean, at this point, what am I waiting 376 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 5: for somebody else to go do it? I just want 377 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 5: to go with them. A bunch of people and got them. Fortunately, 378 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 5: where my dog is. 379 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: You probably don't feel comfortable knowing she's walking around and 380 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: mister shirtless guy is walking around too. They're free. 381 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 5: I'm not happy with that at all. I'm very upset 382 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 5: the whole thing is being handled poorly.

Enough of that, that's that that has 507 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: to stop. You charge people, you convict people, you put 508 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: them in prison because of what they did. Stop being counting. 509 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: Stop looking at people's colors, Stop counting how many people 510 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: of each color group gets into prison. That's not the issue. 511 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: The issue is what crimes were committed, who committed them. 512 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: If they're guilty, you put them away. Never look at color, 513 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: you just look at their actions. And that's the way 514 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. We're gonna rewrite Prop forty seven, We're 515 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: gonna get rid of Gascon, and life is gonna get 516 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: much more normal here. And Gascon has the same canned 517 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: line every time, and it always evades the issue, changes 518 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: the subject because there's no defense for this. You have 519 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: a murderous gang member and you don't give them a 520 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: gang enhancement. Really, there's no defense for that. So we're 521 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: gonna talk to Tommy coming out. I mean, we we 522 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: just got to have a new era here with this weird, 523 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: trendy woke thinking that captured everybody's brain. It was like 524 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: a brain infection. I think a lot must called it 525 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: a mind virus. It's exactly what it is. People started 526 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: thinking and saying and preaching things that nobody had ever 527 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: thought about before, and suddenly we had all these zealots. 528 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: It was like a religious cult. So where does this 529 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: come from? Who thought of this concept? Why are people 530 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: going along with this? This is nonsense and we all 531 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: know it's nonsense. 532 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 9: Now. 533 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 1: I think we're coming out of the out of the coma. 534 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: I think we're starting to reconnect with reality. 535 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 5: Here. 536 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: Somebody wrote a good column in the National Review today 537 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: which I don't have time to get into, but it's 538 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: the same point. When there's a crime, there has to 539 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: be punishment, and the punishment works as a deterrent. It 540 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: works as a deterrent to keep perpetrator from doing it again. 541 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: It works as a deterrent to keep other people from 542 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,479 Speaker 1: doing it. But the punishment has to be swift, and 543 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: it has to be strong. Not everything has to be 544 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: a life sentence. But if you repeatedly commit the same 545 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: crime or similar crimes, then you have to keep going 546 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: away for a longer and longer time. And I don't 547 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: want to hear anybody screaming racism anymore. And that's this 548 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: writer here, Caleb Barche. She's writing about the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, 549 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: and Theft Reduction Act, which is going to be on 550 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: the ballot. It's the thing that we're going to be 551 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: collecting signatures for in Anaheim in less than two weeks 552 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: on Thursday of the twenty second, at the Honda Center. 553 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: And this group has putting it on has over seventy 554 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: percent support here in California. You know where else they're 555 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: doing this, Washington, d C. Of all places, she writes, 556 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: crime has become so pervasive that even the Democrats of 557 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: Washington d C. Are trying to pass a bill that 558 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: would make behavior illegal again. That's really what it comes 559 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: down to, making criminal behavior illegal. The era is over here. 560 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about root causes. I don't 561 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: want to hear about bad childhoods. Yeah, if you weren't 562 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: raised properly, and all these guys, and it's almost all guys, 563 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: they were raised badly. They were neglected, they were abused, 564 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: they weren't taught properly what to do well boohoo. But 565 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: you don't get you don't get to to kill other 566 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: people and steal from other people and assault other people. 567 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: That that's not part of a deal where you get 568 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: a lifetime pass to commit all kinds of violence against 569 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: everybody else. So it's going to end, and we're gonna 570 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: we're going to start as a group, as a CAFI audience. 571 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,479 Speaker 1: We're going to start Thursday at the Honda Center. You're 572 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: going to be there. And when we come back, John 573 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: and Tommy to talk about last night's appearance with Gascone 574 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: or was this on Wednesday?
