1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: The County Regis Star is promising a vote dump later 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: on this hour. Originally we were told wouldn't be till 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: Friday before we got another round of results, so intacted 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: in a long story that The Times ran, the Registar 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: dean Logan said, I don't want to just parse out 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: votes here and there and not give people a real 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: picture of something that's going on. I want to do 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: big drops of votes. Yeah. Well, I think probably too 9 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: many people complained, probably because they're sitting on over a 10 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: middle ballots. So they got an administered a laxative huh 11 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: unclouding the system. Sometime between four thirty and five were 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: expected to get the latest results and races, of course, 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: that include the La County Sheriff, la mayor's race, city 14 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: council seats. But speaking of the La County Sheriff, and 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: it's not looking good at least in the first results, 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: Alex Vieneueva is double digit behind Robert Luna in the 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: race for that position. We got Steve Gregory here though, 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: to report on something between Vieneueva and the La County 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: DA's office. Yeah, it looks like for the first time 20 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,919 Speaker 1: in the four years that Viennuevas VIETNUEV has been in office, 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: the tables have turned a bit where the DA is 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: now kind of going after the sheriff. In this particular case, 23 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: a video that was released last week. It was sent 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: out on cell phones and other platforms, and it's basically 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: the sheriff in civilian clothing asking deputies for assistance. And 26 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: here's the audio that we're going to play. Is very 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: low quality, but you'll you'll be able to make it out. 28 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: And well it's about it's just under a minute, but 29 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: listen to it. It's message for deputys. Four years ago, 30 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: I got the endorsement of Alves and they created an 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: independent expenditure committee had spent a significant sum that supported 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: my historic election. This year, I have the same endorsement. However, 33 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: there is no independent expenditure coming from Alves, which means 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: they've left the membership high and dry and meet to 35 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: the fate of fighting George Soros and Jeff Katsenbergholl by myself. 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: So it's up teaching everyone he wanted to be a sheriff. 37 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: We're going to win this thing, and we're willing and 38 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: if you want to help, anything will help us get 39 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: our message out there. Get our ads online and on 40 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: TV and our texting going on. So I'll leave it 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: up to you. Any donation is great, twenty bucks away, 42 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: up to fifteen hundred bucks your choice, and I'll look 43 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: forward your support. Thank you. Is there a reason why 44 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: that audio is so poor. Yeah, it's the way that 45 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: the way the recording made its way to me. It 46 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: was like I think it went through fifteen different oh 47 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: his hands or something out But yeah, I apologize for that. 48 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: But if something's being squeezed but not intended to go 49 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: out publicly, it was only intended to go out to 50 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: certain death, I mean just a group of deputies within 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: the Union. So he said last time around he got 52 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: money from the right the time says he got more 53 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: than a million dollars twenty eight one point two one 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: point three million or something like that. This year they've 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: only given fifteen hundred and that was a huge difference 56 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: for him last year, and that money went toward a 57 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: last minute I believe it was a mailing campaign with 58 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: a photo of Jim McDonald shaking Trump's hand. It was 59 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: a It was a brilliant strategy on the part of 60 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party that in the in the Union. It 61 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: helped at the time. I remember seeing that going man. 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: I was pretty smart at the last minute. So, I 63 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: mean the sheriff's deputies had turned on Viennueva. Well, I 64 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: don't know where it came from, only that the DA's 65 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: office said they received numerous complaints that they felt like 66 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: this was a violation of election law and that there 67 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 1: is a policy within the department that says an employee 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: the department cannot solicit political campaigns from another employee in 69 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: the department, and that there's a state election law. Basically 70 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: an essence says the same thing. So they received complaints 71 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: at the DA's office, and Tiffany Blacknell, the director of 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: communications for the DA's office, says, they take this very 73 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: seriously and they're going to dig deep and find out 74 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: if indeed this is a violation of any kind of law. 75 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: But why why did the Association of Vale Deputy Sheriffs 76 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: not contribute much money? I don't know why. I do 77 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: know that they were they stuck with the sheriff through 78 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: all of these turbulent waves that he had. And we're 79 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: talking about a Ladds. It's the Association for La Deputy Sheriffs, 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: the largest union representing deputies. And you know, even when 81 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: some of that stuff had come out about the sheriff, 82 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: the allegations against the sheriff about withholding, you know, trying 83 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: to cover up the deputy with the knee on the 84 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: neck and all that other stuff van Nye's courthouse. The 85 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: Union stuck with him through the whole thing. I don't 86 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: know why they didn't give him the money. Did they 87 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: give the opponent, Robert Luna money, No, not to my knowledge. 88 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: So they basically sat out the race. Yeah, and see, 89 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: this was also one of the first times that I 90 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: was told that the Union had given an endorsement prior 91 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: to a primary. They typically wait till after the primary 92 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: and see who the frontrunner is and then they reevaluate. 93 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: But we're going back to January. Is when January Worries. 94 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: When the Union sat down and started to speak with 95 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: all of the candidates, because I think they were nine 96 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: at the time, and they went through every one of 97 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: them one on one as a board, and then they 98 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: had their debate and then they made their decision and 99 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: they decided to back Vienneueva. So what is this could 100 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: be a criminal case, It just says it's a political 101 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: contributions from other employees. But if it's a state laws, 102 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: it looks as though the public Public Integrity Unit at 103 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: the DA's office is looking into it. If there's any 104 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: kind of a violation of electioneering or election law of 105 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: any kind like that, they probably will make recommendations to 106 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: the age's office. So then at the same time as 107 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: if you know you got the results of the election, 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: this going on. Then today a deputy was just charged 109 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: with unlawful death of a person from last year and 110 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: a shooting on duty, and then a judge is ordering 111 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: Vienneueva to appear before her next month to explain why 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: he should not be held in contempt for ignoring three 113 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: subpoenas in twenty twenty one to testify before the Civilian 114 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: Oversight Commission. This is not a good week for sheriff 115 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: you in a way. No, I heard your interview with him. 116 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: He sounded kind of down. Yeah, and plus I you know, 117 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: he was up all night until like three to next morning, 118 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: and I caught him early, so I think on top 119 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: of that and just he was just fatigued as well. 120 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, you know this is and you guys know 121 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: as well as I do that if things don't go 122 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: well for the sheriff in this particular round, there are 123 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: people out there that are salivating to go after him. 124 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: So I mean it's going to be an all out 125 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: go after him in what way? Oh, it's just like 126 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: when Trump the next president. Yea, the DA and all 127 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: the civilian oversight. I mean, I'm curious that for some 128 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: reason the sheriff is not re elected and his looks now, 129 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: Luna's got the comfortable lead. But let's say the Sheriff's 130 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: not re elected. Do all these investigations and do all 131 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: these lawsuits to all these things keep moving forward or 132 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: do they just disappear? But I think what's going to happen? Well, 133 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: I wondered if the purpose of these investigations was to 134 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: drive him at office. Well, it doesn't create bad publicity, 135 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: drive up his negatives. So yeah, he loses. I don't know. 136 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: But like I said, this is one of those things 137 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: that you know, when he was talking to me in 138 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: that interview that Ken mentioned, he said, I knew I 139 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: was fighting the establishment. He said, this election is not 140 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: about me versus Luna. This is an indictment on me, 141 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: and it's a referendum on me. So, plus the dopey 142 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: voters of La County approved that is the power, yeah, 143 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: to remove a sheriff legal Well, I think, yeah, how 144 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: does how do five supervisors get to overrule the electorate? 145 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: The electorate? That just strikes me is not constitutional. I 146 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: think most of this stuff is symbolic at best, because 147 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: what's getting into happening? Um, you know, I think what's 148 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: going into Yeah if this, if they ever try to 149 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: pull the trigger on this kind of a move, I 150 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: mean they wanted that if he won re election. Yeah, 151 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: I think that's what they wanted in their back pocket 152 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: because then it's going to get tied up in courts anyway, 153 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: and then you know, the thing is now is county Council, 154 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: which is supposed to be representing the sheriff and the 155 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: department independently from the Board of Supervisors, has been ordered 156 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: not to defend the sheriff and the department independently. So 157 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: he has no legal representation from the County of Los Angeles. 158 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: So he gave really aligned to Oh. I have never 159 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: seen him more concerted effort to unseat somebody, almost like 160 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: he was he was a virus and the immune system 161 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: called less to eject him. Oh, and that that virus 162 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: system included media elected. Yeah, Democratic Party. It included a 163 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: bunch of different things, a lot of different antibodies in 164 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: this one. They all came together and coalesced to go 165 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: after one individual. But you know what's interesting about that, guys, 166 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: is that it is kind of fascinating to me how 167 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: much fear one man has put in a bunch of others. Yeah, 168 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,119 Speaker 1: it's like, what what did he do to them? Exactly? 169 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: He said, No, it's that simple. It's that simple, he said. No, 170 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: they demand absolute Well, you can understand his feud with 171 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: the Board of Supervisors. They basically want to end all 172 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: the ails, but they would like to end all the 173 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: police and end all the county jails and everything. It's like, 174 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, what are you trying to do? Visors want 175 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: complete obedience or they're gonna come in. They're gonna get you. Yeah, 176 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean. And the things they don't understand is their 177 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: only role in all of this is to provide a budget. 178 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: And even then they couldn't provide a budget. Ken mentioned 179 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: this yesterday. Not too long ago, we had Lee Baca, 180 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: who was corrupt, is how Sherman blocked Back in the nineties. 181 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: It was another piece of work I supervisors went after 182 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: those guys, and those guys really did bad stuff. I 183 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: think that's why they didn't go after him. Oh they 184 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: were intimidated by those If you think about it, who 185 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: do you think knows where the bodies are buried and 186 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: the skeletons they're at Oh I sing? Oh, So you 187 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: got a lot of you gotta remember. And that's some 188 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: old school you go back to Baka. That was a 189 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: little tins of the old school politics at play, right. 190 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: That was a different way of doing things. This board 191 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: today is a completely different makeup, and it's a different 192 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: it's all about ego, and it's I mean, it's about 193 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: ego back then too, but it's all. It's a whole 194 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 1: different ball game out there now with this board of supervisors. 195 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: And depending on who takes Sheila Coul's place, I don't 196 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: know what kind of an impact that person's going to have, 197 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: but um, but just as long as you still have 198 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: that sort of the majority makeup like you have there, 199 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: you'll continue to have this. Now, if Luna becomes the 200 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: new sheriff and he gets in there, he keeps saying 201 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: he is not a puppet of the of the board. 202 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: So we'll just see, We'll have to see you know, 203 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: the proof will be in the pudding. I saw strings 204 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: dangling out underneath his jacket though at the debate, Luna, 205 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: So I don't know what they're going to be attached to. 206 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: Oh that's good. But one thing we do know, John 207 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: Ray Lopez is not going to get on the l 208 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: Ac County vote a supervisors. I think was that the 209 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: only vote you were the only voting for to replace 210 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: you in?

Underneath it it's actually it's 234 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: Laura Ingle and she's interviewing. The person she's talking to 235 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: is the father of Jehan Benet Ramsey. The Boulder Police 236 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: Department is partnering up at the Colorado Cold Case Review 237 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: Team and they are reopening the case of the death 238 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: of Jean Benet Ramsey Christmas Day, nineteen ninety six. That 239 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: is the coldest of cold cases since Jehan Benet's murder. 240 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: Detectives have investigated leads more than twenty one thousand tips, 241 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: letters and emails. They said they traveled to nineteen states 242 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: to interview or speak with more than one thousand individuals. 243 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: In case you folks listening don't know about this, John 244 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: Bene Ramsey she was a six year old girl reported 245 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: missing from her family's home in Boulder, Colorado, on the 246 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: morning of December twenty six, nineteen ninety six, by her mother, 247 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: who said she found a bizarre ransom note demanding one 248 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen thousand dollars in exchange for the child. 249 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: Her father, John Bennett, found his daughter's body in the 250 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: basement of the family's home later that day. She was beaten, strangled, 251 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: and potentially sexually assaulted. No one has ever been charged 252 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: in her murder. The only people known to be home 253 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: that day were the father John, the mother Patsy, and 254 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: her brother Burke, who was nine years old at the time, 255 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: and we found out in the ensuing days that they 256 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: thought the ransom note appeared to be written by the 257 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: mother Patsy so but they were eventually cleared. In two 258 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, when DNA from an unidentified third party 259 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: was found on John Bennet's pajama pants. There was such 260 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: a national frenzy over this. Oh for years. It was overwhelming, 261 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: and all the family members were suspected at one time 262 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: or another, because they all acted strangely, the parents, particularly 263 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: the boy. We forgot to mention she was a pageant girl. Yeah, 264 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: and that's what really, So they dressed her up for 265 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: those little child beauty pageants. The mother was strange, and 266 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: I think that and the mothers passed away by the way, yeah, 267 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: a long long time ago. And and the and the 268 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: dad shortly after the murder packed up the family, remember, 269 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: and they moved to another state. And so it looked 270 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: like he was trying to cover up, either for himself 271 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: or for his wife. Or speculation that the little brother 272 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: might have had the nine year old brother did it? Speculation, 273 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: that's right. And so they were hounded. And there's been 274 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: so many books and I know we hit we had 275 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: I remember at least one author on everybody had their 276 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: their book investigating the case with their own theory, and 277 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: but nothing was ever concluded. They believed that with more 278 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: modern technology, if they put all this evidence into the 279 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: microscope again, that they might find something more promising. I 280 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: didn't even know this. Some believed the killer was a 281 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: former pageant photographer who was arrested on child porn charges 282 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Oh, that was another theory, really, a 283 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: pageant photographer arrested on child porn All right, wow, do 284 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: we know though, if he's ever associated with the Ramses? 285 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: Did he know them? It's first I heard of that one, right, 286 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: I mean the it was Bolder right, Boulder, Colorado. Boulder 287 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: Boulder police botched the case from moment one, and that 288 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: occasionally happens in cases where if you don't get it 289 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: right in the first few hours, never in terms of 290 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: securing the crime scene, collecting the evidence, interviewing the people. Yeah, 291 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: you know, you've got to isolate the mother, the father, 292 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: the brother immediately and get some get their first story 293 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: on the record. She died from strangulation and a blow 294 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: to the head, an eight and a half inch fracture 295 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: on her skull. That was all right, Yeah, try to 296 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: remember there was a theory that she was a bedwetter 297 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: and the mother didn't like it or something, and that 298 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: was another theory. That was a very violent act. Though 299 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: for a mother or father to do it, or a 300 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: little girl like I can't recall a parent doing that 301 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: sort of thing unless you have a long running abuse 302 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: case like we've had the last few years the Alley 303 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: County Child Services cases, and usually that involves, you know, 304 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: a boyfriend or a step father situation. But to have 305 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: a biological parents assault a little girl like that, but there, 306 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: you know, But it was the thing but threw everybody off. 307 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: Was the handwriting looked to be in in mom's mom's handwriting. 308 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: It did. Yeah, yeah, And so that's how how could 309 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: you not think that the family wasn't involved in all right? 310 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: We got more coming up, and of course we're looking 311 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: to see if sometime this hour we get an update 312 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: on the vote count in La County.

The Los Angeles City 326 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: General municipal election from Mayor Rick Caruso two hundred and 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: seventy three ninety one Karen Bass two hundred and seventy 328 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: one thousand, two hundred and forty six is the update 329 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: that breaks to fifty point two five percent for Caruso 330 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: forty nine point seven five percent for Bass. But I 331 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: could swear the last update was in the two fifties, Yeah, 332 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: so something like that. Could remember they passed five hundred 333 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: thousand total votes, right, this is about five hundred and 334 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: forty thousand total votes, so forty extra thousand votes. That 335 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: seems to be that. It's all we get from this 336 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: update today. He's still ahead, but it's smaller. Lead. Tracy 337 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: Park lead slightly smaller, but still basically fifty five forty 338 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: five maybe a yeah, it does, it does. Fifty four 339 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: point nine six she I think is down a half 340 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: a point. Yeah, so that wasn't much of a dump. No, 341 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: I thought it would be a bigger dump, but it's 342 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: it's only or two days after the election. What do 343 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: you expect still have more laxative for the system? More laxative. 344 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: I think they felt pressure because they were going to 345 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: release these numbers tomorrow, and I guess they were tired 346 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: of hearing from the pundite to everybody else that what 347 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: are you doing? I don't want to hear any stupid excuses. 348 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: That's right that the La Times article pissed me off. 349 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: It's all the people in the system going, well, you 350 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: have to understand, and you have to be patient. There's 351 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: no reason for instant gratification. You're counting what votes by hand? One, two, three, four, 352 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: and you got a million to go. We have to 353 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: wait until you count to a million. The problem is 354 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: that they're antiquated mail ballots. So they sit there with 355 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: an envelope and stare at the signature and the address first, okay, 356 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: verify that. Then they open it up and they have 357 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: to tabulate because there are a lot of things we 358 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: voted on. Okay, I didn't even open my packet, so 359 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: forget my ignorance here, But you voted by mail? Was 360 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: it a paper ballot or yes, yes, and what did 361 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: you do? Just check boxes or check you have to 362 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: fill in the ovals? Okay, so that says, do not checkbox, 363 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: completely fill in the ovals with dark ink. So they 364 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: feed that sheet into a machine, right, yes, and it 365 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: can pick up the coloring like SAT tests. Yeah. I 366 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: don't think somebody sits there and tabulates on the pad. 367 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: I hope not. Yes, something like SAT tests. Will you 368 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: fill in the ovals? Right? All right, So they got 369 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 1: to feed a million of these into the system. But 370 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: they got to go through this whole signature verification. Yeah, 371 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: the first part is done manually. Someone sits there, looks 372 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: at the envelope, compares the signature and the address to 373 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: what's on the envelope, what's on the records. Compare this 374 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: to voting in person. Right, I gave it. They asked 375 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: for my name, address, birthday. They ask your birthday? Huh, yes, yes, birthday. 376 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: I never got to ask them much okay, And then 377 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: everything popped up on a screen and they said, can 378 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: you verify this? And you have to sign so with 379 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: with a little style. Took blood. They took blood, uh, 380 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: stool sample. When she asked for a seaman deposit, I said, 381 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm not about yeah an sway, there's some Chinese government officials. 382 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: It's like you guys out all right, to make sure 383 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: you're okay to vote, not doing the COVID test that. 384 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: But I uh, it was really quick and easy and 385 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: then I voted. The whole process was like less than 386 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: five minutes. So I don't understand if I can vote 387 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: in person and go through the whole thing, get verified 388 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: as me, do the vote record, the vote less than 389 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: five minutes. How come voting by mail takes weeks something. 390 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: This is a bad We turned down a bad road 391 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: here because all we've gone, we've gone backwards technologically this 392 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: because we all it was was to plump up the 393 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: corrupt one party state. The reason, this reason it just 394 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: doesn't go on this way in other states is most 395 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: of the states have two parties that are competitive, and 396 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: so the one party checks the other party to make 397 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: sure they don't create a system where they're just flowing 398 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: and harvested ballots for the rest of our days. Right, 399 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: I'll repeat when I read earlier in the show. In 400 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: their election night press release, LA County said that they 401 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: had counted one million, three hundred and eighteen ninety three ballots. 402 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: That's all in person voting John Coe Belt and all 403 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: mail ballots received before election day, which was mine, but 404 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: all the mail ballots received on election day they had 405 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: not tabulated yet. Plus today's Thursday, so it's been another 406 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: couple of days. And that estimate was nearly a million. 407 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: So they're spitting out just the LA Mayor's race another 408 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: forty thousand. Who's the dope woman you quoted her? I 409 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: don't know if I can find the story in front 410 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: of me. Oh, I can find it. Yeah. Who said that? Well, 411 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: the older generation once instant gratification, which, by the way, 412 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: is the first time I've ever heard that phrase. The 413 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: older generation once instant gratification, Right, this is some younger 414 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: generation has patience. John, Oh, it's a man. John Krosnick, 415 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: a social psychologist and professor of psychology, political science, and 416 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: Communication at Stanford who said that, Oh my god, gag me. 417 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: The older a voter is, the more they're going to 418 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: be used to instant gratification on election night. The younger 419 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: a voter is, the more they've lived with this in 420 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: a newer world. To me, this is not a newer world. 421 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: This is an antiquate This is a bad world. And 422 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: see the thing is somebody gonna tell this, this fake 423 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: academic that the old system that I enjoyed was really efficient. 424 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: In this system is absurdly inefficient. They believe, though, that 425 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: voting by mail adds a lot more voters to the 426 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: mix because they're just too lazy to go to a vote. 427 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: Why is it? Why is it so difficult to ask 428 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: citizens one day a year to drive a half a 429 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: mile and go to a polling place for five minutes? If, if, 430 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: if this right to vote is so dreadfully important, you 431 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: can't drive the half mile and go through the five 432 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: minute procedure. I really don't understand that, is that really asking? 433 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: Is a government asking its citizens too much? And they 434 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: don't see how this creates not only this massive inefficiency 435 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: and delay, but just the potential for fraud. There's far 436 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: more potential for fraud with this mailing nonsense and ballot harvesting. 437 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: Oh and then they pretend, no, no, we're verifying every signature. 438 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: That's why it takes so long. Are you really they 439 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: don't reject too many? Yeah, exactly, don't reject recall signatures, 440 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: but not voting signatures. All this is look other states 441 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: don't have this kind of system for a reason, because 442 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: this is to keep one party rule, to keep a 443 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: corrupt regime in power. They're now rigging the system, so 444 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: there's no chance. Now you sound like Trump. No, that 445 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: was his complaint. No, he didn't like these mail ballots either. No, 446 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't. But he went to court sixty times and 447 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: it was all shot down. I'm primarily complaining about the 448 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: delay here, and I am describing what eventually this will 449 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: lead to. Oh you see, I mean it creates the 450 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: opportunity to hear ballot harvesting. I'm completely against. I wouldn't 451 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: be surprised if there's any fraud. But since I'm not 452 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: running for office, I'm not going to spend time and 453 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: money to file a lawsuit. But I don't trust ballot harvesting, 454 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 1: and I don't know any rational person can. I mean 455 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: that that is the road to ruin there. But if 456 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: you're just tuning in. The latest vote count has come 457 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: out from the Elle County Registrar of Voters, but it 458 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: was not exactly a big vote dump. But as feared, 459 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: Karen Bass has moved closer to Rick Caruso, who maintains 460 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: a slight edge in the race for La City mayor. 461 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: Remember back in June, do you want on election night? 462 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: And I think even the day after, But in the 463 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: days that followed, as they tabulated the mail in ballots, 464 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: she ended up pulling way ahead by the time YE 465 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: done with that, you know? And I read something and 466 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: this applied to other states that have some mail in balloting, 467 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: and the same thing happens is the Democrat vote is 468 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: heavy on the mail in ballots. And somebody said, it's like, 469 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: so when other Republicans going to have get out the 470 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: mail in ballots? I read someone also said the same thing. 471 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: We need to get out there in harvest because what 472 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: they need to do is if they want to be competitive, 473 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: is to expand their pool of voters. Right, the Democrats 474 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: figure this out, They've expanded their pool of voters. And 475 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what system they use to you keep 476 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: to keep monitoring voters and make sure they actually mail 477 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: in their ballot. They might have some communication system with 478 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: text messages, email, whatever, But it looks like the Republicans 479 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: don't do that. They just depend on everyone showing up 480 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: an election day. But obviously, if your crowd is going 481 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: to mail in two, you'll get more votes. And so 482 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: if this is going to be the way of things, 483 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: your side has to figure out how to expand the 484 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: mail in ballot, not just hope everybody shows up an 485 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: election because that's our tradition. Because your tradition apparently is 486 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: failing in the new world, and we have so many 487 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: great tech minds in the state of California. You have 488 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: to figure out how to make the mail in thing 489 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 1: more efficient somehow. He isn't just talking off the top 490 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: of my heabit has got to be a way to 491 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: make this better. It isn't that true with everything in government? 492 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: I mean, like the thirty billion dollars that the Unemployment 493 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: Office gave away, like the DMV catastrophe, like everything, even 494 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: the tax refund checks. Right, you were saying before that 495 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people are complaining they haven't shown up 496 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: by now they haven't gotten them. Now, a lot of 497 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: people we got more coming out, you know again, who 498 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: applies to be a government worker? Cubicle drone, John Ken 499 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: caf I AM six forty live everywhere in the iHeartRadio 500 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: app they l Canny Registrar's office has a million votes 501 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: uncounted and after a full day and a half of work, 502 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: two days really right. Wednesday and Thursday, two days, we 503 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: got forty thousand votes. Yeah, Rick Caruso moved from two 504 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three thousand wealthy two hundred and seventy 505 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: four thousand. So you got an extra twenty thousand votes 506 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: from this afternoon's dump. And I guess she got a 507 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: bit more than that because she's narrowed the margin between. 508 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: So they only did forty thousand votes in two days 509 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 1: of work. Well, how many people you think are doing this? 510 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: I was mailing with these envelopes. I don't know. They 511 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: set up a system and they don't have the employees, 512 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: and then you know, you have to go on break. 513 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: No idea. How many are working away at these eleven 514 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: o'clock It's time for my break. I'm tired of counting this. 515 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm bored. You'll go down there and do it yourself. 516 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: You're that impatient. Oh, if I was running that. If 517 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: I was running that, it would go a lot faster. 518 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: What this means is that it's going to take a while, 519 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: because if each dump is only forty thousand votes and 520 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: they have a million in the county, they have until 521 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: December fifth to certify this election. That's what I'm saying here, 522 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: it's well, let's see forty thousand, that's that's uh twenty five, right, 523 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: forty thousand into a million would go twenty five times, 524 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: so twenty five twenty five times two. Because it's two 525 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: days to get to forty thousands, that's fifty days. So 526 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: we're talking about, oh, this should we go to around Christmas. 527 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: They don't have till Christmas December fifth, they have to 528 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: certify the election at their pace.

I mean, here's the sad number. They 573 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: claim more than six million turkeys nationwide have been killed 574 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: due to the worst outbreak of avian influenza in recent history. 575 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 1: Fourteen percent of the nation's total turkey production is gone. 576 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: That's why there's higher prices this year for right. Oh yes, 577 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: supposedly turkey's very expensive this year. So one of the 578 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: reasons is the avian flu outbreak, which killed off a 579 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: lot of them, so you can't.

What is the 602 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: death toll? Well, if six million, John, is fourteen percent 603 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: of the nation's total turkey production, what would that would 604 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: be sixty at least sixty million turkeys? Right? Or yeah?
