1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome. We're on from

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: one un till four and then after four o'clock John

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. It's the

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: podcast you can hear what you missed and you know

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: what you missed missed us talking to Steve Garvey in

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: the first half hour of the show, Garvey shocked a

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: lot of people. He's more or less tied for first

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: with Adam Shift. They're only twenty seven thousand votes apart

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: right now in the California Senate race, whatever the exact

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: total is for both men. They are both going to

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: the runoff in November, so it's going to be Shift

13
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: against Garvey. And this was the biggest race in La

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: County obviously District Attorney George Gascon and he's going to

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: a runoff two, likely against Nathan Hakman, former US Assistant

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Attorney General, among other things. Right now, fifty five percent

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: of the vote in and Gascon's had twenty one point

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: four percent, Nathan Ackman at seven, John Hatami at thirteen

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: point four, everybody else in single digits. So let's get

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: Nathan Hawkman on to talk about what's happening. Nathan, welcome

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: and I guess limited congratulations since we still got another

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: forty five percent of the vote. How are you feeling?

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: Feeling very good? John, and thank you very much for

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: having me on. Cautiously optimistic, and that's because the vote

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: has come in where I'm in the top two, consistent

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: with our polling results. But those polling results also showed

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: one more thing that when I get to the general election,

28
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: in a head to head matchup with George Gascon, I

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: can beat him by twenty five points. Because that's because

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: I will be able to unify the over seventy five

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: percent of people who rejected George Gascon in this primary.

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: And they are Republicans, they are Democrats, they are independent.

33
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: There are people from every demographic, geographic and political divide

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: in this county and they all feel less safe today

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: than they did when George Gascon took office. They all

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: year for their safety, for their children's safety, for their

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: parents safety, and they are looking at George Gascon's pro

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: criminal blanket policies and saying, no way, we want to

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: reject that and vote in someone like myself. With thirty

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: four years of criminal justice experience as a prosecutor, a

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: US Assistant Attorney General, and a defense counsel.

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: What kind of campaign do you expect from Gascon? I

43
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: have no idea what he would run on with his

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: record in this climate. What do you think he's gone

45
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: or is he going to come after you personally?

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: He's coming after me personally because he can't run on

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 2: his record if he wants to actually compare our experience again,

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: I've prosecuted over one hundred criminal cases from narcotics traffickers,

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: gang members, international money launders, environmental criminals. How many cases

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 2: has god Gascon personally prosecuted zero. I've defended over two

51
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: hundred cases. He's defended zero. So he can't come after

52
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: me on the experiential level. The only thing he can

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: say that I'm a Democrat. He used to be a Republican.

54
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm running as an independent, by the way, in this

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: race and make this all about politics. But what I

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: have found is that the old dadage that when criminals

57
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: rob you, they don't ask for your party affiliation. Fimily,

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: when voters vote on who's going to keep them safe,

59
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: they're going to put politics to the side because they

60
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: want their DA to be independent, making the key decisions

61
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: on someone's liberty based on only two things, the facts

62
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: and the law. Gascon has introduced his leftist political ideology

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: as part of the mix, and that's why we have

64
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: the safety issues we have today. I will remove politics

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: from the DA's office and go back to those two things,

66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: the facts and the law holding people accountable.

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Talk about the first things that you would dismantle if

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: you get into office to replace Gascon. I mean, we

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: know about he had nine directives that he enacted on

70
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: day one. They're similar to executive orders that a president

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: would have. Talk about some of the stuff you're going

72
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: to get rid of right off the bat.

73
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: Certainly, let's start with sort of the easiest three, the

74
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: lowest hanging fruit. First, we're going to hold people accountable.

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: They steal just under nine hundred and fifty dollars, We're

76
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: not going to pretend that that crime doesn't exist. Second,

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: we're going to go back to the facts and the

78
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: law to deal with enhancements, whether it's gun enhancements, gain enhancements,

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: the three strikes law. These are again tools in a

80
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: prosecutor's arsenal that the state legislature has given the prosecutors

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: to actually look at the facts and the law in

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: each in every case, and not determine ahead of time

83
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: like Gascon has that just certain criminals and certain crimes

84
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: won't be prosecuted no matter what the facts. And then

85
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: also go back to protecting and defending victims. We will

86
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: start sending prosecutors again to parole hearings where victim families

87
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: are confronting their murderers who want to get out of prison.

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: Early Gascon has prohibited prosecutors from going ahead and accompanying

89
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: these families. I would go back on day one to

90
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: reinstituting that palis to prosecutors at every parole hearing with

91
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: victim families, tell.

92
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: Me what made you run? Was there one incident involving

93
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Gascon or one particular news story that made you want

94
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: to jump into this race?

95
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting. What made me probably jump into

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: this race more than a thing is I met parents

97
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: whose children had tragically died from fence it all poisoning.

98
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: One particular set of parents who had a sixteen year

99
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: old at a local high school, a straight A student,

100
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: and unfortunately he went on snaptrack got an oxy cotton

101
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: tablet one of those counterfeit tablets that he didn't know

102
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: had ten milligrams of fence and all in it, two

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: of which will kill you in two minutes. When the

104
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: parents went to wake them up the next day, he

105
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: was he had died. And when I looked at the

106
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: law on what was happening, Gascon refuses to hold the

107
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: fence and all poison as murders and try them for

108
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: the murders they have committed, knowing murders, knowing that the

109
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: fence at all was going to kill these people, and

110
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: they didn't bother to tell them that the fenta al

111
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 2: was in these counterfeit tablets. And then I looked at

112
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: the fact that Gascon wouldn't even give warnings to convict

113
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: It vented al dealers that if they do the crime

114
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: again and someone dies, they will be held for murder.

115
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: And I thought, look, I'm going to live in this county.

116
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: I want to live in this county. I've lived here

117
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: for sixty years, married for thirty raised three kids here

118
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: in La County, and I refuse to leave. And if

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: you're not going to leave, you've got to fight for

120
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: what you love. And I decided, look, I will replace

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: Gascon fight for what I love and become the next

122
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: district attorney holding people accountable for their actions.

123
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people realize how many

124
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: laws he chose not to follow, how many enhancements that

125
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: he chose not to charge criminals with things that were

126
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: on the books, that in even in left wing democratic California,

127
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: in the majority pready consensus was yes, these are crimes,

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: Yes these should be enhancements, Yes these should be the

129
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: jail terms. There wasn't really a dispute about that, or

130
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: those laws would have been overturned. But he just simply

131
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: was ignoring the law all these years.

132
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: And it's worse than that. Gascon used to boast on

133
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: his website until he realized it was probably a stupid

134
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: thing to do that he had saved violent and serious

135
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,119
Speaker 2: offenders and criminals over ten thousand years of prison time

136
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: because he refused to charge certain crimes who with the

137
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: evidence so warranted.

138
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: He actually was He actually had that on his website.

139
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: He thought it was a badge of honor. It's a

140
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: badge of honor if you're a defense counsel that you've

141
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: saved your client that much time, But it's almost a

142
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: badge of shame. For a prosecutor to be boasting how

143
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: much time he has saved criminal defendants by not bringing

144
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: charges that are supported by the evidence, and that just

145
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: shows his warped view, a social experiment that he's conducting

146
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: on to our detriment and has been for the last

147
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: several years, where he thinks that he can release violent

148
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: and serious offenders before they serve their full sentences, not

149
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: prosecute them to the full extent of the law. Yet

150
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: somehow we're going to be more safe. The statistics show

151
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: that he's absolutely wrong in this respect.

152
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Can you hang on for another segment?

153
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: Certainly?

154
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, time, Okay. Nathan Hochman right now, he is number

155
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: two in the race for a district attorney, which means

156
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: he would go for a runoff if it holds against

157
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: Gasca and Gascon. Really had a terrible outing, only twenty

158
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: one percent as an incumbent, Nathan Hockman at seventeen point seven,

159
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: h Tommy at thirteen point four, and we got about

160
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of the vote in so everyone else

161
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: single digits more. With Nathan Hochman coming up, you're.

162
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: Listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.

163
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: Forty Future joining us. We're talking with Nathan Hackman, who

164
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: at the moment is in second place in the race

165
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: for La County d Gascone has twenty one point four percent,

166
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: a terrible number for an incumbent. Hakman at seventeen point seven,

167
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: John Hattammi at thirteen point four, everyone else in single digits,

168
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of the vote, in which means forty

169
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: five percent is still to come. And if you look

170
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: at it one way, you had almost seventy nine percent

171
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: of the county voting against gascon for someone else. And

172
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: let's continue with Nathan Hakman here. Nathan, I mean, there

173
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: was just an unwieldy amount of challengers, and there were

174
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: other good candidates, but you you did obviously stuck out

175
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: because you're up there at seventeen seven. Uh, how did

176
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: you differentiate your candidacy from some of the others. Some

177
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: of the other Deputy das that were running you all

178
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: were saying similar things. But I noticed you had the

179
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: best fundraising and you had the best media presence. You

180
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: were out early and often on television. So talk about

181
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: how you structured the campaign and why you got to

182
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: a place that the rest of Gascone's opponents couldn't get to.

183
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: Certainly. So what I had to do is show voters

184
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: four different things which I alone was able to do

185
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: in order not only to be a very good DA

186
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: to replace Gascon, but to beat him in the process.

187
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: The first is you had to contrast Gascon's zero criminal

188
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: experience against my thirty four years a prosecutorial and defense

189
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: criminal justice experience. The second is leadership. I've led a

190
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: US Department of Justice's Litigating Division after a presidential appointment

191
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 2: by President George W. Bush, a unanimous US Senate confirmation,

192
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: with three hundred and fifty lawyers and one hundred million

193
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: dollars ludger doing cases all over the nation. No other

194
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: candidate could claim that type of leadership experience, as well

195
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: as being the president of the La City Ethics Commission

196
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: and the co founder of the La Sheriff's Foundation. Again,

197
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: no other candidate could claim to be a defense counsel,

198
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: a prosecutor at the Litigating division, heading up the Ethics Commission,

199
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 2: the Sheriff's Foundation, and two major international law firms government

200
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: investigations practice. The third thing is endorsements. Some of the

201
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: key endorsements in the race I was able to get,

202
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: which is Steve Cooley, the former LADA, and five la

203
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: US attorneys. No one else had endorsements of these key

204
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: law enforcement officials. And then finally it was the fundraising.

205
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: We were able to raise over two point one million dollars,

206
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 2: which is a record twice as much, three times as much,

207
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: four times as much as any of the other candidates.

208
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: And what we were able to do is raise it

209
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: from not just Republicans, but half of it came from

210
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: Democrats and independents as well. And what we were able

211
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: to also do is raise it across the entire county,

212
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: every demographic, every political divide. We were able to convince

213
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: that not only would I be a good day DA,

214
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: but I could beat George Gascon because quite candidly, if

215
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: you can't go toe to toe with not just Gascon,

216
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: but George Soros, you're going to lose the race. Now,

217
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: I was able to show voters and donors that I

218
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: will be able to match George Soros slash Gascon dollar

219
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: for dollars and get my message out to voters and

220
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: put Gascon's record on trial, prosecute the prosecutor, and uses

221
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: my witnesses, real life victims of Gascon's policies in order

222
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: for jurors, which will be their voters, to render their

223
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: verdict on November fifth, throw Gascon out of office and

224
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 2: elect a NEWGA.

225
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: Nathan Hoffmann, you must have talked to a lot of

226
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: victims during the campaign, and that must have been difficult

227
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: to see the kind of damage that Gascone did, not

228
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: only letting the criminals run amok creating the victims, but

229
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: his terrible treatment of victims and victims families after the crime.

230
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: Talk talk about what you encountered in talking to these

231
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: kinds of people.

232
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: It was in some ways it was brutal because again,

233
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: the prosecutors should be the champion of victim, to be

234
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: the one that goes into court and stands up for

235
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: those victims. Because the defendant has his own defense council.

236
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: Nobody else is representing the victims other than the DA,

237
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: and the DA was failing them. This is mothers, for instance,

238
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,119
Speaker 2: that of the Elmonte police officers. The Gascon's policy directly

239
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: related to a convicted killer being in a hotel room

240
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: shooting their sons dead. That should never have been there.

241
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: If Gascon hadn't had a policy instructing his prosecutors not

242
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: to file strike offenses. I talked to a jeweler in

243
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: Pasadena who was smashing, grabbed in pepper sprayed, and watched

244
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: twenty years of his life's work go up literally in ashes,

245
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: as they were stealing everything in the store, and he's

246
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: never been able to replace it. I've talked to again

247
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: Fence and all parents of Fence and all of children

248
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: who have died from fence and al poisoning that look

249
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: to the DA's office to bring justice and has seen

250
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: the DA not even take their meetings. So I look

251
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: at this enormous frustration throughout our entire county and I

252
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: say enough is enough, and they tell me, enough is enough.

253
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: Get this guy out of office, work your tush off

254
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: to reach all these voters, and I did, and now

255
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: we're in a position right now to go after Gascon

256
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: in the November fifth general election, put his record on

257
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: trial and get the verdict rendered against him.

258
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: Goodbye, all right, Nathan, Well, congratulations, wish you luck, assuming

259
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: you know that the lead holds, and welcome anytime to

260
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: come on during the campaign as often as you want,

261
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: because so we have to get Guess going out of here.

262
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. I appreciate it. John and again

263
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: keep doing the good work.

264
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: You're doing all right, Nathan Hakman, Thank you. Nathan Hockman

265
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: is right now second behind Gascon. Gascon only a twenty

266
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: one point four percent. And remember he had the progressive

267
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: audience almost to himself. The only other person who shared

268
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: his views was Jeff Schimerinsky. Shimerinsky only got seven percent

269
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: of the vote. See you add up, it's twenty one

270
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: plus seven. That's twenty eight percent willing to vote for

271
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: progressive art prosecutors, and everybody else went for someone who

272
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: wanted Gascon out because of his bad policies and his

273
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: cruel behavior. And at the moment, Hawkmin's doing the best

274
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: at seventeen percent, seventeen seven. And then you have hat

275
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Tommy second at thirteen four, w Archerlett, Debora Archiletta nine

276
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: percent and she's a judge, Maria Ramirez a Deputy DA

277
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: seven percent, Shamarinski at seven, John McKinney at six, Eric

278
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: Sadaal at six both deputy das, and then the rest

279
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: less than five. So the vote count is exceedingly slow.

280
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: They have a horrific voting system. I don't know how

281
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: the world has gotten so modern with AI and the

282
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: Internet and everything being so speedy, with all the high

283
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: speed chips that are manufactured in this world, by the

284
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: billions and billions, we've got a slower election process than

285
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: the Greeks had two thousand years ago. It's just ridiculous.

286
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: When we come back, there's a lot of news out

287
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: of San Francisco that's very encouraging if you live in

288
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: LA because San Francisco, says the San Francisco Chronicle is

289
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: no longer a progressive city, and if progressive politics can

290
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: die there, they can die here. We're also going to

291
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: talk about Gavin Newsom's Panera bread scandal. This is highly entertaining.

292
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: That's all ahead. John Cobelt showed.

293
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM

294
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: six forty.

295
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: If you're just tuning in, must go to the podcast.

296
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: Today got a half hour with Steve Garvey and our

297
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: number one. He's more or less tied with Adam Schiff.

298
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: They're both going to the runoff in November. And we

299
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: just talked for a half hour with Nathan Hackman, who's

300
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: second in the DA's race. Gascon did not do well.

301
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: He only got twenty percent of the vote. I mean

302
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent of the people voted against him. Hawkman

303
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: has the biggest share of that At the moment at

304
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: seventeen point seven. John Hattammi is next to thirteen point four,

305
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: a little less than half the vote remaining, about forty

306
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: five percent of the vote remaining in the county, about

307
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: half the vote remaining in the state. We got to

308
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: spend a few minutes in San Francisco because obviously that

309
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: is the birthplace of progressivism. It's where all this rock

310
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: came from, and it's where, you know, San Francisco has

311
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: produced Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris and Jerry Brown and

312
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: just all the real bad left wing progressive politicians, all

313
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: the woke heads. Gascone came from there as district Attorney.

314
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: After his policies ruined San Francisco. After nuisance policies ruined

315
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco, they both went on. You know, Dowson becomes governor,

316
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: Gascone becomes the La County DA down here, and it

317
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: just spreads all the all the disorder, all the absurdity.

318
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: Nothing good has come out of San Francisco politics. And

319
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: finally the people there have figured it out, at least

320
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: to some extent because there were two propositions that passed

321
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: by big margins UH. And and these these are not

322
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: woke propositions.

323
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: UH.

324
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: Measure F is tying welfare benefits in San Francisco to

325
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: being screened for drugs. You have to take a drug

326
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: test to get the welfare benefits, and if you fail,

327
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: you've if you're drug dependent, you've got to go to

328
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: drug treatment or you don't get the money. And this

329
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: thing passed sixty three to thirty seven. Sixty three to

330
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: thirty seven in San Francisco. No welfare money unless you

331
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: pass a drug test, drug dependent, no money, you got

332
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: to go for treatment. First. Second thing is Measure E.

333
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: It gives the police the power to use drones, cameras,

334
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: facial recognition technology. The San Francisco Police Commission was against

335
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: all that these are modern day basic investigative tools and

336
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: they work. And the voters overrode the police commission sixty

337
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: to forty. So the drug screening won sixty three to

338
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven, giving police new powers to use cameras and drones.

339
00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: That one's sixty forty. It's astonishing, really, and because people

340
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: are fed up in San Francisco for obvious reasons It's

341
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: terrible what they did to that city. That was a

342
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: beautiful city. When I first came to Los Angeles back

343
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: in the nineties, I thought it was one of the

344
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: most beautiful places I'd ever seen in my life. That

345
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 1: was the first time I saw it. Right before started

346
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: a KFI, just a few weeks beforehand, we'd come out here,

347
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: had a few weeks before we were going on the air,

348
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: and we took a tour around the state, and San

349
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: Francisco is an absolute knockout, and I've been there recently

350
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: and it's it just it really does break your heart.

351
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: It's really horrendous, and I didn't understand why people wanted

352
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: to live that way. And I guess did we all

353
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: have to go through this bad experiment? We had to

354
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: go through the experiment of having open air drug markets

355
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, of having George Gascon not prosecute criminals,

356
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: get them out of prison early, give them the shortest

357
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: sentences that he could get a with. We had to

358
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: go through this, Oh, how much misery, how many people

359
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: were killed, assaulted, how much stuff was stolen, how many

360
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: businesses were seriously damaged. Why do we have to go

361
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: through this? What kind of a fever was this exactly?

362
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: And now and now you get seventy nine percent voting

363
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: against gascone, And now you get sixty three percent saying, yeah,

364
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: I guess we ought to tie welfare benefits to drug

365
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: screening since we got thousands of people dying on drugs

366
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: in the street. And yeah, maybe we ought to give

367
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: the police some some some cameras and some drones. So

368
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: they tracked down the bad guys. God, it really it

369
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: took this much carnage. Huh? And then are ridiculous, Governor Knewsome?

370
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: What a story this is? You following this? This? This

371
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: is the Panera Bread story. Recently they passed a law

372
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: were acquiring twenty dollars an hour minimum wage for major

373
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: fast food chains. And then it was discovered that there

374
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: was an exemption to a place like Panera Bread because

375
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: Panera bakes its own bread and sells it there. And

376
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: a little more digging found out that Newsom got one

377
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty four thousand dollars from a billionaire named

378
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: Greg Flynn. He owns two dozen Panera Bread locations in California.

379
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: He also owns a lot of Applebee's, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell,

380
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: and Wendy's, he gives new some one hundred and sixty

381
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: four thousand, and and suddenly Panera Bread got an exemption.

382
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: You imagine, it's twenty dollars an hour that you must

383
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: make if you work in fast food. Every burger flipper,

384
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: twenty dollars an hour, every fry basket shaker, unless the

385
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: play you're working at bake spread and sells it. Boy

386
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: and Newsome and he always handles these things badly, always

387
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: at first flat out denied it. Well, no, first he said, oh,

388
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: that's just the sausage making of the legislature. In other words,

389
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of horse trading going on, trade offs,

390
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: that's the way things go. Sometimes you get this exemption

391
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: because you're doing a deal. Like he didn't take credit

392
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: for it. He just says, that's the sausage making that

393
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: goes on in the legislature. And then he realized they

394
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: realized that played really badly, so he just flat out

395
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: denied it. He just flat out insisted that Panera Bread

396
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: doesn't get an exemption. Well, it does get an exemption

397
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: fast food. Here. Here's from the bill. Fast food restaurants

398
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: shall not include an establishment that as of September fifteenth

399
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three operates a bakery that produces for sale

400
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: bread that sells it on the establishment's premises. Says it

401
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: black and white right in front of me. Here it

402
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: was section four fourteen seventy four uh, sub section C,

403
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: paragraph two. So he's denying this exists. Fast food restaurant

404
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: shall not include an establishment that operates a bakery that

405
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: produces bread for sale on the establishment's premises. Wow. So

406
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: he absolutely not only gets out in any normal world,

407
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: this is a bribe. If somebody gives you one hundred

408
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: and sixty four thousand dollars and you give it him,

409
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: give him an exemption so he can keep his payroll

410
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: significantly lower than his competitors. Boy, that really smells bad

411
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: like a bride, doesn't it. And it's the ties between

412
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: Greg Flynn, the billionaire and Newsom or even deeper because

413
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: Flynn purchased a Napa Valley resort that was managed by

414
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: Newsom's company. Newsom has a hospitality company, so this was

415
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: Newsom's Napa Valley resort, or at least his company managed it,

416
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: and it got sold to the billionaire Greg Flynn, who

417
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: owns all these Panera breads and bakes bread, and he

418
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: got the big exemption. He's he is, he's shameless, and

419
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: he's stupid, he's a liar, he's all those things. A

420
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: friend of mine said that he you knows a guy

421
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: like Newsom. You met him in college. He's the one

422
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: who pretended to be your friend and then when you

423
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: had a fight with your girlfriend, he'd go and console

424
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: the girlfriend and better down that night. Perfect. That's it.

425
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: That's Newsome. And I think he did that, didn't he

426
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: with his chief of staff's wife. Where his campaign manager's wife.

427
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: I think the chief of staff. More coming up.

428
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

429
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 3: six forty.

430
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: We're on the radio from one until four after devers

431
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: three o'clock news. You may wonder why did we used

432
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: to get We worked a lot of election nights, and

433
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: there's no point in being on the air on election

434
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: night anymore because you don't get any results. In used

435
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: to be within three hours, by ten eleven o'clock, we'd

436
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: have all the results, unless it really was a fifty

437
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: to fifty race where they had to count everything. By

438
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: the next morning, you'd have a result. Now it's what

439
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: is it? It's eighteen hours later. Since the post of

440
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: nineteen hours, we've got nothing. We got less than half

441
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: the vote in in the county. I know in the

442
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: county we got fifty five percent. We have less than

443
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: half the vote in statewide. This is a horrible system.

444
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: That's some thunder. I'll tell you about why. The La

445
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: Times has a story on it. And of course you

446
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: know they presented as if we just have to understand

447
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: that things are different. Now I've got a story to

448
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: scare you. Deborah not in the mood. There was so

449
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: much election coverage, but I thought just one story. LAPD

450
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: is warning people in Los Angeles new kind of burglary

451
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: Wi Fi jamming technology they're using so they can disarm

452
00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: your surveillance camera and disarm your house alarms. Unbelievable, right,

453
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: So your ring camera won't work, your alarm system won't work.

454
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: And then the burglars move in three or four at

455
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: a time. They usually have to climb through a second

456
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: store balcony. They go into the main bedrooms looking for

457
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: high end jewelry, purses, cash, and other valuables. And they

458
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: usually have a getaway vehicle outside. But if you jam

459
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: the Wi Fi, then the ring system doesn't work.

460
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 4: So I think we need a default program. So when

461
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: your WiFi is jam like that and your ring cameras

462
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: go down, there should be some kind of projectile that

463
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: starts being thrown out to the crooks. A missile projectile,

464
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 4: say that, but I try to soften it up.

465
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: So a missile launcher on your roof, yes, right at

466
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: the getaway car, Yes, I like that.

467
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 4: And the people, the four people that are climbing up

468
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 4: your balcony.

469
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: You know you're not the same person were seven years ago. Eight.

470
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: You've jaded her, it's radicalized her. They have some tips here,

471
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: because you know it's always your fault if you get burglarized.

472
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: Never tell uber lift or taxi drivers that you're on vacation.

473
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm always uncomfortable with an uber driver who drops me

474
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: off because a lot of them are unwashed and sketchy,

475
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: and if they like the way my house looks, I'm

476
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: always nervous that they're going to come back.

477
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: Well.

478
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: You know some people what they do is they give

479
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 4: a neighbors address, and you stand in front of their

480
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 4: house and they picked up so.

481
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: Their neighbor gets broken into. You do that.

482
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: I didn't say I did that. I said some people do.

483
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: That, some people, not including you. It's the laped says

484
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: in lock up your electrical circuit boxes with a padlock

485
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: to make it harder for them to tamper with your

486
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: alarm system. Why don't they do that for the copper wires?

487
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: How come they they can't walk up the street light

488
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: copper wiring? Why do we have to go through all this? Yeah?

489
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: I know exactly. They have like ten tips here. Move

490
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: to an alarm system that is hardwired rather than running

491
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: on a wireless signal. The wireless was supposed to be

492
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: the cool thing, right, that was supposed to be the

493
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: advanced technology. Now they're saying, don't do that. This is

494
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: a good idea. Put Apple air tags on valuable items. Yes,

495
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: so you can watch your jeolry, watch my jewelry boxes

Speaker 1: them this idea. You know, you know thief techniques a

502
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: little bit. Why is that? I don't get into my past.

503
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't want you dropping me off at home either. Oh,

504
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: there's a reason I don't try booper. All right, we
