Of course, she knew what was 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: coming because somebody had tipped her off that sheriff's deputies 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: and some federal agents were going to do a raid 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: on her house to look for evidence involving a no 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,959 Speaker 1: bid contract that one of her good friends, Patricia Ghiggins, 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: got from the county. Patricia Higgins is the director of 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: Peace Over Violence and they have set up this profit. 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: They had set up this hotline for people who suffer 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: sexual harassment on the buses and trains of la which 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: happens all the time because you have mostly mental patients 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: and drug addicts on the trains, and they're mostly guys, 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: and so that behavior is going on all the time. 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: The thing is, I guess they didn't publicize it at all. 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: Hardly anybody ever called piece over violence would submit these 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: public numbers showing that they took thousands of calls in 26 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: but in reality it was very few. Most of them 27 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: were hang ups, wrong numbers, people looking for help for 28 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: other matters that didn't apply. Probably a lot of telemarketers 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: doing the autodial. In any event, they Patricia Ghiggins had 30 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: gotten several contracts worth over eight hundred thousand dollars, no 31 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: bid contracts, contracts that weren't voted on by design. As 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: I said in the last segment, one of the contracts 33 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: was just for thousand dollars, below the threshold that would 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: have forced the La County Supervisors to vote on it. 35 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: And of course this Shillakule is best friends with Patricia Ghiggins, 36 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: and there is testimony from someone who worked for Metro 37 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: that they would pay Giggins every time they got invoices, 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: even if it wasn't part of the contract, because the CEO, 39 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: Philip Washington, did not want to upset Shilla Kule's friend 40 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: and wanted a political favor from Shillakule at some point, 41 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: so I was willing to look overlook a particular seventy 42 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars bill. Now, what was curious yesterday is 43 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: that George Gascone would normally have this evidence presented to him, 44 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: and if he was going to make any statement at all, 45 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: it would be well, I'll wait till you present the evidence. 46 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: But he kind of preempted saying well, no, we know 47 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: there's nothing to this case even without seeing the evidence, 48 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: which is why there were federal agents there because it 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: looks like the Sheriff's department is going to turn any 50 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: evidence over to the fence. US Attorney's office. Anyway, this 51 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 1: is all highly unusual, and to explain this, we're gonna 52 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: talk with John Lewin. Now he's been with us several 53 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: times recently, Deputy District Attorney, Major Crimes Division. John, It's 54 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: quite great to talk to you. It am I on 55 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: with Josh of Josh and Kenn. You know there's a 56 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: Josh Lewin in town. I do, I do. He's a 57 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: he does UCLA basketball right right, So you know we 58 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: have the same name, John, I know, I know, no problem, 59 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: no problem. Well, John, I need to get I need 60 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: to get the the stuff out of the way. First 61 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: of all, I am representing only myself. The anything that 62 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: I say is in no way, uh an expression of 63 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: the opinions, et cetera of the Los Angeles County District 64 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: Attorney's office. Also in case mister Gascon, and as people 65 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: are watching, I took the day off today, so even 66 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: though it's three o'clock, I'm not on company time. So 67 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: I think someone assigned to listen to our show every afternoon. Oh, 68 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure. Let me just start with the idea that 69 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: George Gascon is a district attorney is going to literally 70 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: give a press statement not only about an active case, 71 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: but about a case it isn't even filed yet, an investigation, 72 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: So he's going to go to the media and he's 73 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: going to talk about an unfiled case. By the way, 74 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: I've been a prosecutor for thirty years. Unlike George Gascon, 75 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: I actually try cases in the courtroom, a lot of them. 76 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: He's never seen a courtroom as a trial lawyer. Maybe 77 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: if he had, he would understand that part of our 78 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: ethical duties are to make sure that we are not 79 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: commenting on active criminal cases while a prosecution is still 80 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: going on. What's the only thing worse than that, Well, 81 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: I guess it would be commenting on a case that 82 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: is not even filed on a confidential investigation. So the 83 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: district attorney says the following. He says, the allegation was 84 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: investigated by LASD and submitted for filing consideration in September 85 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. I have no idea whether that's 86 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: true or not, but certainly he would have records be 87 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: interested to see those. We reviewed the case and determined 88 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: that the state of the evidence at that time did 89 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: not prove criminal conduct beyond a reasonable doubt. Now, if 90 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: mister Gaston understood how search warrants work, beyond a reasonable 91 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: doubt is not a standard that is applied. It is 92 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: basic one O one. Any grade one prosecutors can understand that. 93 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: The cases say that all you have to do to 94 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,119 Speaker 1: issue a search warrant is there is quote a fair 95 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: probability that the individual committed a crime, and just in 96 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: case you were not sure what that means. Other case 97 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: to say, for instance, quote Finally tuned standards like reasonable 98 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: doubt or by a preponderance of the evidence have no 99 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: place in the probable cause decision. So he basically cites 100 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: a legal burden, which is incorrect for a search warrant. 101 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: Then he says, continuing LSD indicate that they would continue 102 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: to investigate. We have not had additional contact on the matter, 103 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: and we're not consulted or aware of the search warrants 104 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: that were served today. So let me go to that part. 105 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: Law enforcement almost never goes to us in advance to 106 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: say we are issuing a search warrant. Does not happen 107 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: in the few cases when it does happen, and it 108 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: is very rare, just doesn't happen. In those cases where 109 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: it does happen. It is absolutely voluntary on the part 110 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: of law enforcement. Because remember, John, they have a judge 111 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: who is new neutral, he doesn't work for the district attorney. 112 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: A judge or he or she goes through the search 113 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: warrant and decides is their probable cause to issue it. Finally, 114 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: he says, in this case, because we did not review 115 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: the warrant beforehand, we do not intend to defend it 116 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: if challenged in court. Well, one, there's no case filed. 117 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: How would you know what the grounds are? There's no 118 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: case filed. He doesn't know what was seized. He doesn't 119 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: know in particular what the ramifications are of what was seized, 120 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: and he doesn't know what the end result, what the 121 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: arguments will be made if there ends up ever being 122 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: a case as to whether or not the search was improper. 123 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: So to say, in advance on an unfiled case, knowing nothing, 124 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: we're not going to defend this. How can you ethically 125 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: say that what it's smacks of is it's smacks of politics. 126 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: It's smacks of croneyism, and it's smacks of a district 127 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: attorney who is ignorant, completely devoid of any idea of 128 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: what the job entails. None. This is him trying to 129 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: provide cover for his friend, Sheila cul Well. Listen, it's 130 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: certainly John. I have no idea what the merits of 131 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: the allegations are. Now I've read the search warrant. It 132 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: certainly raises some issues. Have no idea whether they're legitimate 133 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: or not. I know that a superior court judge found 134 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: that certainly there was enough to issue the warrant. The 135 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: idea that Supervisor Cool has been an ally a strong 136 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: alley of the district attorney, and that he's going to 137 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: go out there on his own issuing a press statement 138 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: about an unfiled case about investigation is just shocking. And 139 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: then to add to that, and I was just floored 140 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: by this. So apparently the supervisor, and this is not speculation. 141 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: The supervisor stated that she was tipped off to the 142 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: search warrant, that they were going to be serving a 143 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: search warrant by the Inspector General, a former prosecutor in 144 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: our office, someone who walked in the Public Integrity division, 145 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: and he is calling or communicating the supervisor that she's 146 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: going to be a target, that a search warrants coming. Now, 147 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: if you think about it, John, in law enforcement and 148 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: in criminal prosecution, we want to serve search warrants when 149 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: the person doesn't know any idea why so they don't 150 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: destroy the evidence. If so, I have no idea what 151 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: if anything they were covered. But I'll tell you this, 152 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: considering that apparently according to the Sheriff's Department website and 153 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: comments by the supervisor herself, she was there with a 154 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: a lawyer or a representative of county council when they 155 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: showed up with the lawrant. So clearly she had advanced notice. 156 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: So I have no idea whether she is engaged in 157 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: criminal conduct, whether she's innocent as a driven snow. I 158 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: have no idea, but I can tell you what thirty 159 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: years of being a prosecutor tells me. If there was 160 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: evidence that would have been inculpatory, it shows how it 161 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be there once law enforcement showed up, 162 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: when she knew they were coming. You know the idea 163 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: that ethically somebody who used to be a prosecutor could 164 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: do that. If it's true, yeah, it's beyond the page 165 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: human the inspector general. If it's true and he did, 166 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: that's what's the legality of him tipping her off? So listen, 167 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: that is not my area. I'm a cold case homicide prosecutor. 168 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: There are certain status shoots in certain sections, including conspiracy 169 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: to basically obstruct justice, that potentially I think someone would 170 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: look at. I have no idea. I can tell you this, 171 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: and I should comment. Not only does law enforcement not 172 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: go to the District Attorney's office to have their warrants 173 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: quote reviewed, approved, etc. But even when they have arrest lawrants. 174 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: In California, it's a state where law enforcement on their 175 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: own can go to a judge without our knowledge, and 176 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: they can get an arrest warrant for a suspect, they 177 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: can arrest them for a crime, and then we have 178 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: to decide if we're going to file the case. I prosecuted. 179 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: I was part of a team of lawyers that prosecuted 180 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: a man named Robert Durst. Robert Durst was arrested by 181 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: LAPD on an arrest warrant that we had no idea 182 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: in advance that they had gotten issued. So this idea 183 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: that we are reviewing, and that because we view it, 184 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: fans that that was some impropriety. That is dead thing wrong, 185 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: it's false. It's either ignorance or it's a straight lie. 186 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: All right, hang on, we'll talk some more when we 187 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: come back. I also want to talk to you about 188 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: the Karen bass burglary situation and those two suspects being 189 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: held without bail. We got John lew And on Deputy 190 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: DA Major Crimes Division here in La County on the 191 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: Sheila Kuel case. We're talking with John lew And, the 192 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: Deputy DA of the Major Crimes Division, and he is 193 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: discussing we've been discussing the Shila Kuel situation and the 194 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: raid yesterday in connection between a contract that the county 195 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: gave Kuel's best friend in the whole world Patricia Higgins 196 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: and this nonprofit. She ran eight hundred thousand dollars worth 197 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: of money to run a sex abuse or a sex 198 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: harassment hot line on the Metro system that hardly anybody called. 199 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: And Quelle was claiming this was some witch hunt by 200 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: via a wave of the sheriff and actually came from 201 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: a Channel eleven report two years ago. In September of 202 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, we played a clip of that last hour 203 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: Bill Malusion had done a ten minute report on it, 204 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: so it didn't come from you in that way that 205 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: he came from well a news reporter, which is what 206 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: the media ought to be doing. Anyway, we were talking 207 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: about George Gascone already coming out and saying, well, he 208 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: doesn't think there's anything to this case. Case hasn't been 209 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: filed yet, but let's get John back on John there 210 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: was I mean, presumably the evidence is going to be 211 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: turned over to a US district attorney. We heard that 212 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: there were some federal agents that joined the Sheriff's deputies there, 213 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: but nobody seemed to know what agencies they were from. 214 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: But I guess that's where it would be going if 215 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: Gascone is not going to do it. So again, because 216 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: I take my ethical responsibilities seriously as prosecutor, Unlike the 217 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: district journey that I work for, it would be improper 218 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: for me to be commenting directly on a case. But 219 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: this is the vision. What I can say, just in 220 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: general is when you have federal crimes, the district Attorney's 221 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: office does not have jurisdiction. There can be some crimes 222 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: john that are both state crimes where we have jurisdiction 223 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: and federal crimes where we don't. And so, as I 224 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: know you're aware, the law enforcement in our area, including 225 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: the LAPD in the Sheriff's department, we're literally taking cases, 226 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: criminal cases to the US Attorney's office because of George 227 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: Gascon's terrible policies on filing gun allegations, gang allegations, and 228 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: special circumstance allegations. So if the media is correct that 229 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: there were federal officers who were involved in the search, 230 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: then that would potentially mean that the FEDS would be 231 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: evaluating what or not there are federal crimes involved. Now, 232 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: obviously there are politics that enter in to situations like this, 233 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: given who is the target and who is in the 234 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: White House and what those relations might be. If you 235 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: read the warrant, it sounds like there are a lot 236 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: of high profile, powerful people in powerful positions who are 237 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: certainly mentioned. So I don't have any idea. I would 238 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: add though, that when there are comments that, in essence, 239 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: this is simply the sheriff playing politics. You will fail, 240 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: so what everybody does. But you're jim, your watch, your 241 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: yoga pants. They pretend you won't. So when you miss 242 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: a day, eat the pancakes, give up on a workout, 243 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: you failed. Seriously, what the hell We're Body. We've been 244 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: a part of that too, but not anymore at Body 245 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: or rejecting perfection an embracing reality, not in a Pizza 246 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: Monday kind of way, in a loving your whole life 247 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: kind of way, in a this workout is fun and 248 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: it's okay. If I take a week off kind of way, 249 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: in an I'm eating healthy and it's okay if I 250 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: indulge kind of way, in a I like myself. No 251 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: matter what kind of way, Yeah, you will fail. We 252 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: all will. But we're not going to let that be 253 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: the end and see that we're already making progress. So 254 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: let's keep going. We are Body. Start your free trial 255 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: at body dot com. That's Bodi dot com considering that 256 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: originally this was not the Sheriff's going on investigating. My 257 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: understanding is somebody made a complaint Jennifer Luck, who was 258 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: covered a couple of years ago. So I don't understand. 259 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: How can the sheriff is out there trying to settle 260 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: political scores? How did he do that? Yeah, she was 261 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: an employee with Metro and Bill Mulujian had a ten 262 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: minute story on it two years ago. Uh And and 263 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: for some reason, the La Times is trying to spin 264 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: it that it was something that being a wave of 265 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: pulled out of his hat. And it's and it's not 266 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: that this has been documented what happened? Had John? Wait, 267 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: that's that's breaking news. Are you telling the La Times 268 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: in their news coverage is taking an editorial position in 269 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: favor of the current power structure that that's find that 270 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: hard to believe. I know, I know, we we live 271 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: on the edge here. Let me ask you about the 272 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: Bass case before we go. So Bass's house supposedly got 273 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: broken into. Only her two handguns were stolen from her closet. 274 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: They were in a lockbox. Uh. No cash stolen or electronics, 275 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: no any other valuables. They arrested two guys and one 276 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: is in jail. He's got it, he hasn't come up 277 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: with a six hundred thousand dollars bail. The other one 278 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: has no bail. Um I changed to me that that 279 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: that people on risk burglary charges we're getting out with 280 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: very little or no bail. So again, because this is 281 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: an active case, I don't even it's my understanding. I 282 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: don't know that the case has even been evaluated or 283 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: filed by my office, so it would be improper for 284 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: me to speak about anything with this case. This is 285 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: what I can tell you. One of the criticisms that 286 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: we have had of George Gascon. In fact, Karen Bass 287 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: figures into this too, although she's quickly trying to remake 288 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: herself as some friend in supporter of the police or 289 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: prior physicians would seem to be in completely at odds 290 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: with that. But both of them have really pushed for 291 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: having little or no bail. George Gascon since for his 292 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: entire tenure, has tried to let about everybody out as 293 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: quickly as he can. So I don't know what's going 294 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: to happen on this case. I don't know what the 295 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: facts are in this case. I can tell you this 296 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: as a citizen. I heard Karen bass In that in debate, 297 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: when asked how safe she felt on a scale of 298 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: one to ten walking around Los Angeles, she said at ten. 299 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: And I literally started choking on my food I was 300 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: eating at the time, which, you know, if you saw me, 301 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: not that big a surprise. I'm eating a lot of 302 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: the time. But I literally spit out my food because 303 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: I thought, how could somebody think even postulate that they're 304 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 1: gonna say that they feel in the current situation on 305 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten ten in terms of 306 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: their safety, well, because they're living in a different world 307 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: than the rest of us. And then we find out 308 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: that this anti gun, anti police congresswoman apparently it's packing 309 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: heat at the house. So you know, the word hypocrite 310 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: would seem to come to mind. All right, John, thanks 311 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: for coming on, gotta do the news. Thanks bye, John Lewin, 312 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: Deputy DA made your crimes division here in La County. 313 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: John and Ken't show calf I Ken's away today. Really 314 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: eventful day here. Earlier in the show we told you 315 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: we opened with the story that Governor Rond de Santistan 316 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: in Florida sent two planeloads of illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard, 317 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: that wealthy exclusive island near Cape Cod in Massachusetts, and 318 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: two planes landed. I think about fifty migrants came off 319 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: the planes. The whole island is in a tizzy. Now. 320 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: They had and I'll explain all this in detail just 321 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: a moment, but you know, they had declared themselves a 322 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: sanctuary for illegal immigrants, as did New York, as did Chicago, Washington, 323 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: d C. All the mayors, all the political leaders, and 324 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: they made a big show of it too. There were 325 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: public resolutions, there were public announcements, and a lot of 326 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: empathy was offered to the illegal immigrants, and they denounced 327 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: all the coldness and hatred for anyone who didn't agree 328 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: with them. And now you know, there's over two million. 329 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: Two million illegal aliens came over the border this year, 330 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: Joe million, and Texas can't handle it, obviously, so they're 331 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: sending them out, which, by the way, Joe Biden was 332 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: doing too. Joe Biden was landing planes in the middle 333 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: of the night in various states, redistributing the illegal aliens. 334 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: So it's exactly the federal government policy. And Abbott and 335 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: DeSantis has said, we can't do this anymore. Did you 336 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: see those I don't know if you saw the photos 337 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: of El Paso where there's chest like hundreds of illegal 338 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: aliens sleeping in the streets, and one local official said, 339 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: this looks like a third world country. I mean, if 340 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: you have any feeling like this is wrong, This is 341 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: not fair for DeSantis and Abbot to be doing this. 342 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: You go to the Texas border for a day, you 343 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: go to a place like El Paso or some of 344 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: the other border towns, all right, your hair will fall out. 345 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: You cannot believe what's going on there. There's simply no 346 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: place to put anybody. So all these politicians who declare 347 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: themselves publicly sanctuary, who have made it, and that's part 348 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: of the incentive to come across the border, is it not? 349 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: If you know there are places in a country that'll 350 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: take you in, no questions asked, and they'll give you food, 351 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: and they'll give you a shelter, and they'll give you money, 352 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: and they'll maybe get you a job or or or 353 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, a home. You're gonna go, You're much more 354 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: likely to go. They just want a virtue signal and talk. Now, 355 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: our empty headed tin can of a governor, Gavin Newsom 356 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: stuck his beak into this and issued a press release 357 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: letter to Merrick Garland, the Attorney General of the United States, 358 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: and I won't read the whole thing this time around, 359 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: but it's five paragraphs and he wants basically wants to 360 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: Santis and the Texas Governor Greg Abbott charged with kidnapping 361 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: and racketeering, claiming that some of these migrants are are 362 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: tricked into boarding the buses and planes with promises of 363 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: jobs in Boston, big cities, and there's no such thing, 364 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: and that fraud should be uh should be federally prosecuted, 365 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: and it should be kidnapping and racketary. This is a 366 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: Newsom actually put in print and then sent out publicly. Uh. 367 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: He wrote on Twitter what DeSantis and Aabbit are doing 368 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: isn't clever, it's cruel. I'm formerly formerly requesting the Department 369 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: of Justice begin an immediate investigation into these inhumane efforts 370 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: to use kids as political points. By the way, I've 371 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: seen video of these people landing in the various cities, 372 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: and uh, they look perfectly content to be landing there. 373 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: That they're I mean, they're they're coming. Some I saw 374 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: today some migrants Venezuela. Venezuela is it is an extreme 375 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: situation right now. Uh, it's very poor. They have a 376 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: socialist dictator as uh their president, very much like California, 377 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: and you know, the inflation rate is in triple digits. 378 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: But here are the different stories coming out of Martha's 379 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: Vineyard today. The New York Post says that Martha's Vineyard 380 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: has been thrown into chaos by the arrival of two 381 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: planeloads of migrants sent by DeSantis. Local officials were told 382 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: about the new arrivals during a Wednesday night meeting of 383 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: basically their city council in West Tisbury. The town administrator, 384 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: Jennifer Rand said she'd been receiving furious texts from residents, 385 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: furious texts, So the residents are really angry. I'm a 386 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: little unclear about the situation, as is everybody, Rand said, 387 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: because everybody is scrambling a bit. Rand said fifty migrants 388 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: were sent to Saint Andrew's Church in Edgartown and might 389 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: be given short term housing at the Martha at Martha's 390 00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Society. Okay, but there's no bet so 391 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: showers there and they don't know how they're going to 392 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: feed the migrants because the Red Cross in Martha's Vineyard 393 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: was not participating and we don't know why. And one 394 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: person involved in Martha's Vineyard Community Services says, we don't 395 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: have refugee services. I have no idea about any of this. 396 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: A local high school senior named Maria Sanchez Roa said 397 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: she was recruited to serve as an emergency translator. She said, 398 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: I was home watching Princess Diana videos when my mom 399 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: burst through the door and told me to go to 400 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: the high school. I'm here because I'm a Hispanic kid 401 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: who speaks Spanish anything that they're watching Princess Diana videos. Now, 402 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: as you know, there's a huge number of celebrities that 403 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: vacation every summer in Martha's Vineyard. A lot of politicians. 404 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: Barack Obama bought a twelve million in dollar vacation home there. 405 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: It's very wealthy. It's in fact, the median household real 406 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: estate price is higher than it is in Los Angeles 407 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: like just that. So these politicians are saying this is 408 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: cruel and inhuman a dehumanity, dehumanizing. Nussen said, it's one 409 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: of the richest towns in the whole country, one of 410 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: the richest towns in the whole world. Meantime, it turns 411 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: out that Martha's Vineyard residence had put up I'd put 412 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: up one signs. You know how, there's a lot of 413 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: people who feel they need to put up their woke 414 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: political signs. Well, according to one Republican, a whole lot 415 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: of Martha Vineyards residents are going to take down the 416 00:26:54,440 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: all are welcome here lawn signs. Apparently that was one 417 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: of those trendy cool things that the rich people were doing. 418 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: There was a group that created the sign listing support 419 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: for black people, LGBTQ, migrants, refugees, Indigenous people and says 420 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: all are welcome here. And and now they're texting town 421 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: officials saying what the hell is going on? And in fact, 422 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: here's here's the sign. The Daily Mails printed the sign 423 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: that people were putting up on their lawns the island 424 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: of Martha's Vineyard. We respect women and capital liters letters, 425 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: We valued black lives. We stand with our LGBTQ community members, 426 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: We stand with immigrants, with refugees, with Indigenous peoples, with 427 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: people of all faiths. We stand with our community. And 428 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: then they reprint that that last line in like twelve 429 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: different languages, all are welcome here. Hate has no business here. Well, 430 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: looks like the same people who put up the signs 431 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: are sending hate text to the town administrators because they 432 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: don't want this. They don't want this migrant invasion. I'm 433 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: telling you, I suspect virtually every person who posts a 434 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: sign like that on their front lawn is a phony 435 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: that all of the virtue signaling that all of them 436 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: would slam the door if they had migrants or any 437 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: other group show up on their front door looking for 438 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: shelter and food. Wealthy people don't want any part of 439 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: this stuff. They just want to preen and prance and 440 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: signal how wonderful they are. But it's for the poor 441 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: people in Texas to have to deal with the problems. 442 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: John and Ken Kfi. I'd forgotten that Harvey Weinstein is 443 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: here in Los Angeles because he's got another trial coming 444 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: up for sex crimes. He's already been convicted in New 445 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: York and he's going to serve twenty three years. He's 446 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: seventy years, so he's already gotten the death sense. He's 447 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: going to die in prison. He's way overweight and he's 448 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: hideous looking and his teeth are rotting. His teeth are 449 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: rotting so bad that he's begging a judge to let 450 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: him get his teeth fixed by a private dentist because 451 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: the prison dentists want to just pull them out and 452 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: leave gaping holes in his charming smile, Weinstein was pleading 453 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: with the judge he got wheeled into a courtroom here 454 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: in La yesterday and says, this situation is an emergency. 455 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: I will pay for the dentist. It will be one 456 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: trip and one trip only. Now. Weinstein has gone to 457 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: the prison dentist twice, but it hasn't fixed things. And 458 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: the jail dentists have offered him two choices, pull the 459 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: teeth out no replacement, or leave them in to keep decaying. 460 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: And Weinstein isn't this is it perfect? Though? Isn't this 461 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: like just so entertaining that a big fat sex pervert, 462 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: this rapist is it's suffering with rotting teeth in his 463 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: mouth and he either has to go through the indignity 464 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: of having pulled out with no replacement or just letting 465 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: him rot until maybe an infection kills him. Weinstein says, 466 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm in pain every day. I have cavities and I 467 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: can't eat because I'm missing teeth. Well, he's gonna last 468 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: a while without food. His attorney, Mark Worksman, says barring 469 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: him from dental care would be a violation of his 470 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: constitutional rights and he'd end up with a gaping hole 471 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: in the front of his teeth that would make him 472 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: look ridiculous and like a caricature, as if he's not 473 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: that already. And he said, Weinstein will transport himself and 474 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: pay for the dentist. But the judge in the case, 475 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: Lisa Lynch, said it would still involve manpower from the 476 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: Sheriff's department and that makes the request beyond the norm. 477 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: Lynch to not degree that Weinstein looked ridiculous, but told 478 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: the lawyer to write write a written request for the 479 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: dental work and she'll review it. And then the rest 480 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: of the hearing was about some of the when some 481 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: of the witnesses in the case might appear it's just 482 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: more sexual assault crimes. But it's, you know, it's the 483 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: suffering part. It's it's not just jail, but waking up 484 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: every day knowing the mental stress that he's going through 485 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: and now the obsession with his rotting teeth, all right, 486 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: we got a lot more coming up on the John 487 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: and Ken Show.
