Jackie Lacy was the La County 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: DA for eight years and she was really good and 16 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: then George Gascone in that ridiculous, stupid year twenty twenty 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: beat her. And she was running for a third term 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: and Gascone just unleashed all kinds of hell on people 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: in La County. And I think things are coming crashing 20 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: down on him now Nathan Hackman is running a strong 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: campaign against him, and today Hawkman received the endorsement of 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: Jackie Lazy, and uh, I think it's a really powerful endorsement. 23 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: And we're gonna have Jackie on now. Jackie Lazy, welcome. 24 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 2: How are you. 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: Well. It's good to hear your voice. I'm doing fine. 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: How you doing? Thanks for having me. 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really good to have you on because you've 28 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: been very quiet the last few years while Gascon has 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: been dismantling the justice system, and I often wondered what 30 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: you thought about what was going on. 31 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: So now I've got you. 32 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: What have you been what's been going through your mind 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: the last four years watching him do his thing? 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: You know when I left off is, of course I lost, 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: and I took that as a message from the majority 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: of the voters, and so I deliberately said, you know, 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: I'm done with politics. Them out. I'm gonna keep my 38 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: mouth shut. This is what you want, this is what 39 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 3: you get, and enjoy my private life. But you know, 40 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 3: unfortunately I suffered tragedy, lost my husband to pancreatic cancer, 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: and my mother also was diagnosed with cancer. And you know, 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: I've just been sitting there and and and I I 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: see some of the stuff that's happening in the DA's office, 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: and I know it's wrong. I know that. You know, 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: some of the justifications are are you know, their misstatements 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: they reflect a lack of knowledge about the criminal justice 47 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: system or a lack of will to protect us. And so, uh, 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 3: you know, I waited. I mean, there were a lot 49 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: of people in the primary that I thought would make 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: good das, including Nathan Hackman, and so when he came in, 51 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: when he came through as one of the top two, 52 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: and I saw how poorly Gascon did, I said, you know, 53 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: now's the time speak up, speak up and say something, 54 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 3: because I did that job. You know, I did that 55 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: job for eight years and I can tell when miss 56 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: you know, malfeasance and just incompetence is happening. So to 57 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 3: the degree the voters still care or listen to me, 58 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: I'm going to speak my mind. 59 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: What do you think happened in twenty twenty, Because it 60 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: never occurred to me that year that you would lose, 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: just because I thought you had done such a good 62 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: job and you had such a good profile here in 63 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: Los Angeles. I never remember anybody complaining about you, and well, 64 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: I mean, well, all right up to the point of 65 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: the campaign, and then you had the Black Lives Matter 66 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: protesters outside your house, and there was criticism that you 67 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: hadn't prosecuted cops and this and that. But for the 68 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: first seven years. 69 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: You really, you really were. 70 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: We're doing the work head down, and you know, nothing 71 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 2: out of the ordinary, I guess, is what I'm saying. 72 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: I mean, every DA gets some criticism along the way, 73 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: it's part of the job. But I just didn't think 74 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: that yours was a particularly controversial or scandalous turned Yeah. 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, look, I almost lent. I mean, I 76 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 3: just felt like I lost by a lot, but I lost. 77 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: I think twenty twenty it was a convergence of things. 78 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: That was the George Floyd murder. I think it was 79 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: BLM showing up on our doorstep and my husband confronting 80 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: them with the gun. They use that politically. I do 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: think that the I think it was twelve million dollars 82 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: from two independent groups campaigning for a gascon chose to 83 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: paint me, as you know, someone who was not effective 84 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: on police shootings. They saw a window of opportunity, wanted 85 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: George in and that's that's what happened. 86 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: Seems like they created some kind of hysteria. I mean 87 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: much of twenty twenty was about hysteria in a lot 88 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: of ways, with the with the lockdown and the protests. 89 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 2: I mean, it was an emotionless surge. 90 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: It took over. Yeah, many people. 91 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. You know, remember COVID had happened, and 92 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: people were quarantined, they were not working, they were home. 93 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: They the murder of George Floyd was was shocking as 94 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: it should be, and many people just you know, just 95 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: just sort of wanted change without realizing the change they 96 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 3: were getting. I mean, they didn't know about his record 97 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: in San Francisco, that people in San Francisco had had 98 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: had complaints about him, and so he comes down here 99 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 3: off and like I said, with that kind of money 100 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: coming into the race, you can pretty much destroy anybody's reputation. 101 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: Was there things you wish you had done differently in 102 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 2: the campaign? 103 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 3: No, I felt like I thought as hard as I could. 104 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 3: You know, of course I go back overto my mind 105 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 3: and think, were they different things? But I think it 106 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 3: was just the circumstances. I think, you know, with fate 107 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: in some sense, in some sense. While I'm sad about 108 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 3: what happened to our safety in La County. It was 109 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: a blessing in disguise because I got to spend what 110 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: I didn't know would be a year with my husband 111 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: before he was diagnosed with pancretic cancer. So I'm grateful 112 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 3: that I had that year at home with him because 113 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 3: I would have been working, and quite frankly, when he 114 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 3: got diagnosed, I would have had to resign from the office. 115 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 3: But no, I mean, in campaigns it's you know, it's 116 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: like that Star Wars scene where Luke Skywalker is blindfolded 117 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 3: with a saber sword and trying to fight you know, 118 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: this this thing that is larger than he is, and 119 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 3: trying to rely on his instinct. It was difficult, but 120 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: I did my best. I tried to explain to people 121 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: what electing this particular person was going to do to 122 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: their safety and said it out loud many, many times, 123 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: and people, just the majority of people felt that, you know, 124 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: that maybe I was crying wolf and that you know, 125 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 3: they want to change. 126 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: Has anybody come up to you since then, after seeing 127 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 2: what that kind of havoc that guess going is rought 128 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: on La County and said, Jackie, you were right, I'm sorry. 129 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, actually more than more than you would imagine. 130 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: I even had a protester come back to me, a 131 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: guy was part of the protests. If I I'll come 132 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: back to being apologized and say I just didn't know. 133 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: I didn't realize what was going on. Yeah, now it's out. 134 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: I really serious, it was out.

I've known him personally for over a decade, 174 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: have been with his family at events, I've talked to 175 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: him in depth, so I know I know the guy. 176 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: What I like about Nathan is, first of all, I 177 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: like the fact, among anythings that you know, he's tried 178 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: over a hundred cases the current administration that you know, 179 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 3: I mean gascon had never been to court, never tried 180 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: a case. And I think when you're making decisions about 181 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: some of the high profile cases and trying not to 182 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 3: make mistakes, it's important for you to know how the 183 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: facts are going to play out in the you know, 184 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: in the courtroom. I also like John that he was 185 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 3: president of the City of Los Angeles Ethics Commission. I mean, 186 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: not a day, not a week goes why were you 187 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: probably aren't reporting on someone violating ethics, someone ceiling, someone lying, 188 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: someone doing something they shouldn't be doing. And I like 189 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 3: the fact that he knows those laws well, he's going 190 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 3: to follow them. And also like the fact that while 191 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: he understands that with certain criminal behavior, you've got to 192 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: meet it head on and be stern about it. But 193 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 3: he also understands that criminal justice reform has to be executed, 194 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: but it has to be done in a very thoughtful 195 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 3: and meaningful manner. 196 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 2: People don't know what that means, that that phrase criminal 197 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: justice reform. You had Gascon's version of it, which has 198 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 2: been a disaster, and so people get leery when they 199 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: hear the phrase. It's like, well, what does that mean? 200 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: You're going to let everybody out, They're going to run amock? 201 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: What would be I mean, what do you think Nathan 202 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: Hoffman is talking about or what are you personally talking 203 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: about when you use that phrase? 204 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 3: You know, what I'm talking about is addressing people who 205 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: have a mental health concern. You're actually you're right on 206 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 3: the money when people say they don't know what criminal 207 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 3: justice reform is. But the truth of the matter is 208 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 3: is in the LA Office, we've been doing criminal justice 209 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 3: reform for years or twenty thirty years, in the sense 210 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 3: of drug courts where instead of sending someone to dail, 211 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: you say, look, go to these classes and we'll dismiss 212 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 3: the case after that, you know, sort of leveraging them 213 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: into support or looking at things like those who are 214 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: wrongfully convicted, should we give them an avenue to have 215 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: their case reviewed. In short, it's about improving or changing, 216 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: if you will, changing the criminal justice system. But when 217 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: it's not done right change, the change could be disasters. 218 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 3: It can harm us, and that's what you're seeing now. 219 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: But if it's done well, you see success stories without 220 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 3: people getting hurt by folks who just aren't ready to 221 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: be out in our society for one reason or another. 222 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: And so really, I think that's the best way to 223 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: look at it. It's changing it, and it's supposed to 224 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 3: be changing it for the better, not the worst, if 225 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: it's done right. 226 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: What are a couple of things that Gascon did that 227 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: really either scared you, makes you just shake your head, 228 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 2: made you angry? Were what were some of his policies 229 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: that you just couldn't believe. 230 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: I was stunned on the first day when he ordered 231 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 3: UH prosecutors to no longer attend any parole hearings. I 232 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 3: thought that was wrong. His rationale was, it wasn't our job. 233 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: And so you have now victims or victims families who 234 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 3: have to go into prison and faith being the same 235 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: room with the person who either killed their killed their 236 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: loved ones or who violated them and argue against the 237 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: lies that prisoners sometimes put forth about what happened in 238 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 3: their crime and their rehabilitation. There is no one else 239 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: other than if they hire use their own money to 240 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: hire a private lawyer that will be in there with them. 241 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: I thought that was the worst. I also thought, you know, 242 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: wholesale getting away doing away with gun enhancements in La County, 243 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 3: doing away with gang enhancements in La County, you know, 244 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 3: doing away with hate crime enhancements. I mean, he finally 245 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: walked that back, but it's only with the hate crime. 246 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 3: Somebody had to threat to protest against him and then 247 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: he walked that back. I think that was egregious. But 248 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: I also think there's stuff that you wouldn't know about 249 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: unless you really follow the Board of Supervisors hearing the 250 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 3: millions that this person has cost us and taxpayer money 251 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 3: that could have been used on things like the homeless crisis. 252 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: This administration is burning through money left and right because 253 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: of costly mistakes. Well. An example is they filed the 254 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 3: case on someone that had to do with voter fraud 255 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: some company, and that company that person owned the company, 256 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: sued them and the board ended up giving them five 257 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: million dollars to set You know, there's such thing as 258 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: prosecutorally immunity, so that means they must have screwed that case. 259 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 3: That's so bad that the board ran scared and gave 260 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 3: them five million dollars. The other thing is employees who 261 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 3: have sued civil servants that he has, you know that 262 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: he has crapt over because they dared to speak the 263 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 3: truth to the king, so to speak. And that you know, 264 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 3: that's that's taxpayer money. I mean, you know, only a 265 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 3: couple of them now have been litigated, and he's lost them. 266 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 3: He lost one and he settled one, and then he 267 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 3: lost the other one to one point five eight dollars. 268 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: There's about a dozen more left on top of that. 269 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 3: With this recent charging of Diana Turan, one of his 270 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 3: top people in the office, I'm gonna be surprised if 271 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: those officers end up suing the office for failure to 272 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 3: stop or catch or manage this woman who broke the 273 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: law using their names. So, you know, uh, there's a 274 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 3: myriad of reasons. Maybe money is your issue, maybe you know, 275 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 3: maybe you feel safe. I'm not sure, but you talk 276 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 3: to people in Granada Hills. We're not feeling safe. We're 277 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 3: feeling like, look, things are are are dangerous now, more 278 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: dangerous than there were four years ago. We don't have 279 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 3: to go back to any tough on crime policies. But 280 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: you know what, the cost of crime, you know, it's 281 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: the cost of crime is too great. Right now, Jackie 282 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: is out. 283 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: It's really good talking with you.

So if you missed that, you 296 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: want to hear it. She was very forthcoming, very honest 297 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: in her answers about what happened with her in that 298 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: election of twenty twenty and the tragedies she's gone through since, 299 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 2: and what she thinks of gascone, which she thinks of 300 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: Nathan Hakman. So you definitely ought to hear that on 301 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: the podcast on the iHeart app, moistline is eighty seven 302 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: seven Moist eighty six seven Moyst eighty six.

I don't think people understand just how 305 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 2: sheltered a lot of Washington journalists are from the public. 306 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 2: It's why they constantly get blindsided by, you know, Trump's support, 307 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: no matter even though we're dealing with Trump now next 308 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: month will be nine full years and still inside Washington 309 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: journalists are repeatedly stunned by his support and the reasons 310 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: for the support. I mean, at this point after nine years, 311 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: and since your job is to as a journalist to 312 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 2: if you're covering politics, you're covering why people vote the 313 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: way they vote. By now you should at least intellectually 314 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: understand what's going on, even if you don't agree with 315 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 2: it personally, you should understand why it's happening. And the 316 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: latest example of somebody utterly clueless, of course, it's NPR 317 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: and you've heard all about I mean, you've got people 318 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: inside NPR now revolting against the left wing indoctrination. And 319 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: what has happened is because you have virtually all the 320 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: NPR employees all left wing, all progressive, woke, they don't 321 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: have a clue as to what's going on in the 322 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: rest of the in the rest of the world. And 323 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 2: they've lost millions and millions of listeners, and they've lost 324 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: a lot of advertising money, corporate money, simply because they 325 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: are no longer giving out a product that a lot 326 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 2: of people can relate to. And here's why. This is 327 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 2: an NPR reporter named Osma Khaleide. She's their White House correspondent. Okay, 328 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 2: so this is not some low level intern here. This 329 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: is NPR's White House correspondent. She was invited on This Week, 330 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 2: which is their political show on Sunday mornings on ABC. 331 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: And she's baffled why so many people in America, including Democrats, 332 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: have nostalgia for Trump's economy. 333 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: Listen to this clip. 334 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 5: What I've already heard in so many of my interviews 335 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 5: with people is a lack lesser sense of enthusiasm, whether 336 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 5: it's black voters, whether it's you'd call them sort of 337 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 5: like disaffected Republicans, there's a whole bunch of things that 338 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 5: went right for Biden. 339 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: I would argue in. 340 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 5: Twenty twenty it was unity in opposition to Donald Trump. 341 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 5: To make this a referendum. Sure, is what the Biden 342 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 5: campaign wants, but it's really challenging because many voters are 343 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 5: looking at this election as a referendum on Trump. You know, 344 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 5: I was just up in Pennsylvania NonStop. I heard about 345 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 5: the economy, and people don't real right, yeah, yeah, I'm Biden. 346 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, referendum on Biden. And so people don't feel 347 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 5: great about the economy. Now, this nostalgia for the Trump 348 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 5: years is something that I would say about the the 349 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 5: economy nostalgia I heard from Democrats even, which was really 350 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 5: shocking to me. Lay Democrats remember how good they thought 351 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 5: they're four one k was they would say in the 352 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 5: next breath, you know, they're not going to vote for 353 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 5: Trump for a variety of reasons. 354 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: But that's what Joe Biden is up again. 355 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 2: She shocked the Democrats want to protect the money they have. 356 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: She's really see people, our people, and we've all got 357 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: the same issues in life. And when inflation jacks up 358 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 2: the cost of everything by twenty to thirty percent. That 359 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: pisses you off because it wasn't necessary. It was ignited 360 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: by massive overspending. They dump trillions of dollars into the economy, 361 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: and that is a sure fireway to create inflation that 362 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 2: gets out of control. Many countries have done it. It's 363 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: a short term fix to try to keep people happy. 364 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: You dump more money into the economy and people feel 365 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: like they're getting richer for a brief period of time. 366 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: But when you have more money chasing the same goods, 367 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: it drives up the price. 368 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: It always happens. 369 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 2: I looked into huge inflation problems in the past in 370 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: various countries, and it was always the same. The government 371 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 2: started printing money, the government started borrowing money, they started 372 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 2: spending money, printing, borrowing, spending through the economy completely out 373 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 2: of whack and ignites inflation and it becomes a cycle. 374 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 2: It's hard to stop because the more the prices go up, 375 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 2: the more people want raises, the more raises they get, 376 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 2: that's more money they have to drive prices up, and 377 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: it goes around and around and around, and it doesn't stop. 378 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: And that's what we've got. And it's not whether the 379 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: inflation's up three and a half percent this month, it's 380 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 2: that cumulatively, since Biden took over, it's up between twenty 381 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: and thirty percent. That's a twenty to thirty percent pay cut, 382 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 2: a twenty to thirty percent tax, however you want to 383 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 2: frame it, and that hits you have to pay the 384 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: same price for eggs, no matter who you voted for 385 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, no matter what party you're registered with. 386 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: Of course Democrats are upset and have Trump nostalgia for 387 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 2: the economy. Of course they do, because they don't want 388 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 2: to pay an extra two dollars for eggs. Nobody does. 389 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: It's not their politics, it's not who they vote for, 390 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: it's they don't like the price of eggs. Like you know, 391 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 2: the price of gasoline here well over five dollars. A 392 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 2: lot of that's on Newsome and the Democratic legislature, but 393 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: we don't. We don't hold anybody responsible here in California 394 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 2: somehow strangely, weirdly, But in the rest of the country 395 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 2: where more rational people live, yeah, they hold the guy 396 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 2: responsible and they don't care if it's a Republican or 397 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 2: a Democrat because that doesn't factor in how they're going 398 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 2: to pay their bills. And that is a huge issue, 399 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: and it's not getting better. Inflation keeps going up, and 400 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 2: you keep getting reporters going on, I don't really understand. 401 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 2: I'm really shocked. I mean, there's no yeah, because ultimately, 402 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: you can tune out somebody's bombastic personality and you should. 403 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: You can tune out their tweets, you can tune out 404 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: all the nonsense. When you go to the store, you've 405 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 2: got to pay a hard number, and that hard number 406 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 2: is a lot higher than it used to be, and 407 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 2: it's it's, uh, it's gonna get worse. Oh, And that 408 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 2: reminds me this, this whole uh, this whole campaign to 409 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 2: raise the uh, the wages of fast food workers in California, 410 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: it is backfired big time. It's not only brought all 411 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 2: of us huge price increases if we go to these restaurants, 412 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: it has now cost the employees literally thousands of jobs. 413 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: And I'm going to explain that to you in the 414 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 2: next segment as well. 415 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 4: Coming up, you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from 416 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty. 417 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: When you artificially raise the wages, especially in something like 418 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: the fast food industry, because those jobs aren't worth much, 419 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: because the people doing those jobs do not bring much 420 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: value to the job. There's no specific skills, there's no 421 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: education needed. They're easily replaced not only by people now 422 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: but by machinery. But when you artificially raise the wages, 423 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 2: then the prices are going to be raised, and that's 424 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 2: going to fuel inflation, and that's going to upset people. 425 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: And Gavin Newsom, because he's stupid, mandates this new minimum 426 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: wage for fast food exempts his buddy who runs Panera, and. 427 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: You end up with. 428 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: Unhappy people or now upset over how much money they're 429 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: paying for a cheeseburger or French fries or a taco 430 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 2: or whatever it is. Because you can't artificially raise wages 431 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: on jobs that don't have much inherent value. So the 432 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 2: side effect in the short term is prices have to 433 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: go up. The side effect the medium term is the owner, 434 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,959 Speaker 2: the owners of these fast food franchises are going to 435 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 2: come up with new ways to get the job done 436 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: without using people. And a professor by the name of 437 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 2: Lee Ohanian has done some research looking at California minimum 438 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: wage laws for fast food businesses to see how it's 439 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 2: working out, and he's written a piece for the Independent 440 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 2: Institute and he has found that nine five hundred jobs 441 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 2: in California have already been wiped out. Can you imagine 442 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: if it was sold this way to the workers. We're 443 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 2: going to force your employer to pay you twenty bucks. 444 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: An hour. Oh wow, that's wonderful. 445 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: Yay, twenty bucks to shake the fry basket. 446 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 3: Yay. 447 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: Uh yeah. 448 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: Then a week later you find out you're out. They're 449 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: not paying you twenty bucks. Nobody's gonna do that. Job's 450 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: not worth that, he wrote. More fast food job losses 451 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 2: are coming as the new minimum wage effect. New minimum 452 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: wage took effect losses at Pizza Hut and Round Table 453 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 2: Piece Pizza. Thirteen hundred delivery drivers alone got fired at 454 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: Pizza Hut and Round Table Pizza thirteen hundred. Elpoil, Loco 455 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: and Jack in the Box announced that they're going to 456 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 2: speed up the use of robotics. They've got robots that 457 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: make sasa, robots that cook fried foods. Now, you're gonna 458 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: end up with thousands of guys out of work, and 459 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: who's gonna go to them and say, oh, jeez, you 460 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: know we were wrong about that. Sorry, because those robots 461 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 2: are in for good. Those robots aren't coming when you 462 00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 2: get fired from your job. 463 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: You're not You're not. That job is gone for good. 464 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: So it was an extremely stupid wall and it feels 465 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: and failed inflation. But stupid people running the state conways here. 466 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 6: Hey know, eventually this is going to be taken over 467 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 6: by robots too, the producers, the writers, the hosts. I'll 468 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 6: kill the robots. I don't know if you'll be around. 469 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 6: John might be a couple of decades. Mondo's coming in 470 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 6: or on the phone. I don't know, but he he 471 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 6: won another Blue ribbon first place in the Guacamalle contest 472 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 6: at the La County Fair. That's four wow, that's incread 473 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 6: I don't think anyone's ever done that in the history. 474 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: Of the world. I can't. You know, you must be right. 475 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: I don't think I am. 476 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 6: Fritz Coleman's coming on Blask him if he knew it 477 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 6: was going to be windy at the Beach Life Festival. 478 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: They shut that down over the weekend.
