Bullets went into the lobby 31 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: and they were pretty tight together. The bullet holes through 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: the lobby window into the lobby. Luckily, nobody was hit 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: in the lobby area. There were people in there, but 34 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: nobody was hit. And when those three shots came in 35 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: and then the shooter jumped back in his small car, 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: an isisan kick and immediately went racing away. And the 37 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: police considered it to be a drive by shooting and 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: came racing in to figure out what it was and 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: what it wasn't and if it was political with everything 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: going on, And as they came in, they put out 41 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 2: this broadcast on police radio all divisions and outside agencies 42 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: broadcast for office and safety on an armed vehicle fired 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 2: three times into a building at Broadway and History twenty 44 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 2: five ago. 45 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: And then on Friday night they made an arrest. Is 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: a sixty four. 47 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: Year old guy Anna Baal Hernandez Santana, and they had 48 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: this message for whoever the shooter was of They're going 49 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 2: to find you. 50 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 3: This unacceptable behavior is not going to be tolerated. 51 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: Sacramento and they did it within hours, based off of 52 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: license plates and running that license plate, and it came 53 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: back to Hernandez Santana. He's being charged with state crimes, 54 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: but the Feds charged him today. They were able to 55 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: hold them after he bailed out on the state charges. 56 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: And the federal crimes are interesting. Interference of a licensed 57 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: communications station essentially because he fired into a radio or 58 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: a TV station and disrupted the quote unquote signal, even 59 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: though you could argue they're talking about the actual signal 60 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: and ABC ten did not go off the air that 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 2: they're going that way. But also a possession of a firearm, 62 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: in discharge of a firearm, and a school zone. But John, 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: we learned from these core documents that Hernandez Santana in 64 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 2: his car they found a handwritten letter reading it said 65 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: quote for hiding Epstein and ignoring red flags, do not support. 66 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: Patel Bongino and A. G. Pambondi their next end quote 67 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: their next Their next is what the letter allegedly said. 68 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: This had nothing to do with the Jimmy Kimmel situation. 69 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: At this point, it doesn't look like it did. And 70 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe we're going to find out that that 71 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: inflamed it or but it doesn't look like it. They 72 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: tracked him down. There was surveillance video of his license plate. 73 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: It came back to his car and they went to 74 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: his home. They found a nine millimeter handgun inside of 75 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: a satchel just like the one the shooter had an 76 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: empty magazine. They say his hands were positive for gunshot residue, 77 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: and that he had a whiteboard planner on his kitchen 78 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: fridge that read do the next scary thing that he 79 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: had written on the allegedly on the date of last Friday. 80 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: We don't know what the previous scary thing was, but 81 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: up here as the next scary thing was firing into 82 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: ABC ten. But but we know they're also looking at 83 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: mental health. That has been part of this from the beginning. 84 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: Our sources saying that they think that that may be 85 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: at play, but they believe they've got the shooter now. 86 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 2: I saw one new story said that a LinkedIn account 87 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: matching his name said he used to be the legislative 88 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: director for the California Federation of Teachers, a lobbyist. Yeah, 89 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: it looks like he may have an attorney background. His 90 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: attorney is saying that that he has a long history 91 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: of that they believe the feds are now going to 92 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 2: focus in on long history of left leaning posts and 93 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: an outrage about things. 94 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: And did they expect that? 95 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: On his attorney's side is saying they expect the Feds 96 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: to make a big deal. 97 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: Out of it. All right, very good, Alex, thanks for 98 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: coming on. 99 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: You got it, thanks John. Not only did he used 100 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: to be a legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, 101 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: one of the teachers' unions. He he used to have 102 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 2: a job tracking state legislation and assisting with the Affordable 103 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: Care Act implementation. He got fired. He worked as a 104 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: former health policy analyst for the California Rural Indian Health Board, 105 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: which was a nonprofit and he got fired in twenty 106 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: eighteen a verbal confrontation with his supervisors. They called the police. 107 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: Suit was withdrawn in twenty twenty. He also claimed he 108 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: was terminated because they wouldn't give him time off to 109 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 2: care for his disabled son. So he's a teacher's lobbyist, 110 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: rural Indian Health Board health analyst. So he's been on 111 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: the fringes of government. An ex account says there's a 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: steady stream of anti Trump commentary. The authoritarian oligarchy is 113 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 2: now complete, CBS caving, big law firms in DC, the 114 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: subservience FBI and AG University president stepping down, fanboys on 115 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. Public radio Ice goons we're gonna have 116 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: to fight like hell. Rules don't apply if elections were stolen. 117 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: Fight. 118 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: On Thursday, he wrote, where's a good heart attack when 119 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: we need it the most? Join in my thoughts and 120 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader. 121 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm just guessing Trump. 122 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: Oh. 123 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 2: He studied regional and city planning at UC Berkeley, and 124 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: he studied law at UC Law San Francisco. See, there 125 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 2: were fifteen protesters outside the station over over Jimmy Kimmel, 126 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: So that's why the inference was wayed, and he must 127 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: have been one of the protesters. Got out of hand 128 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: because the affiliate is owned by Tegna. Techne is the 129 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: company that Next Star wants to acquire, and because of 130 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: that deal, Next Star took Jimmy Kimble off its all 131 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: its affiliates because they have the six billion dollar deal 132 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: before the FCC. I mean they haven't admitted to that, 133 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: but that's the reason. You know, everybody's hiding behind you know, 134 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: patriotic and family values blather, but the truth is big 135 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: financial deal. Next Star is buying techna. This is one 136 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: of the channels. But looks like this guy if he 137 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 2: was upset about Jimmy Kimmel being suspended, that wasn't one 138 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: of the reasons he was firing into the lobby. He 139 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: had a whole list of other reasons. Now, when we 140 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: come back, you probably heard that Kimmel's coming back, but 141 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: there was there was a lot of fascinating, many fascinating 142 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 2: stories about this, and there's there's a lot of work 143 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: that Disney has to do if they really want to 144 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: get the show on the air long term. There's there's 145 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: a lot, there's a lot of complicated threads to this, 146 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of money at stake. And we'll 147 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: talk before I get off track. By the way, I 148 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: found the missing stories. 149 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: Where was it? 150 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: Well, it was it was on my iPad.

There's no work word. 177 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: What the terms of the no we're waiting. 178 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 6: We are waiting to get that information. So far, I've 179 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 6: seen nothing, but I'm wondering if he's even going. 180 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 3: Is Kimmel going. 181 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 6: To address the suspension. Has he been told I mean again, 182 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 6: this is part of what you're saying. Do we know 183 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 6: about the terms? I'm wondering, has he been told, don't 184 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 6: say anything. You don't have to apologize, but don't mention it. 185 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 6: I can't imagine he isn't gonna mention. 186 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: Then he kind of has to. 187 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: It's just way too awkward exactly, you know, or at 188 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: least acknowledge that it exists, right and move on, maybe 189 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: say you know it's it's in everyone's best interest right now. 190 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: If I don't. 191 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 2: Comment at all this well, there's a lot of behind 192 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: the scenes negotiations going on involving quite a few parties. 193 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: The one of the main factors in this are all 194 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: the regulatory deals mergers that various companies that carry Jimmy 195 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 2: Kimmel's show are currently involved in. I talked last hour 196 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 2: about Nextstar. Next Star is a chain of television stations 197 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: primarily in the medium markets about entirely. They have some 198 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: bigger markets and they want to buy another television chain 199 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 2: called TEGNA t e g NA for six billion dollars. 200 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: Now you're basically merging to television companies. That raises antitrust issues. 201 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: You have to go for the FCC and you have 202 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: to say, hey, this is what we want to do, 203 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: and the FCC will say, is this going to you know, 204 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: too much consolidation going on in the industry, This is 205 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: you know, reducing the number of voices out there in America, 206 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 2: stuff like that. You've heard this stuff a thousand times, 207 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: a lot of it's just a formality, but they got 208 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 2: to go through it. Well, the president is in charge 209 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: of the FCC like everything else. He can get rid 210 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 2: of everybody on that commission or make life at the 211 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 2: very least make life really difficult. 212 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: So they're going to do what Trump wants. 213 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: So Trump, in effect, you know, has a veto power 214 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: on these mergers, and not just in broadcast industry, but 215 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: a lot of industries. If he wants something to go through, 216 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 2: it'll go through. If he doesn't want it to, it won't, 217 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: or there might be conditions attached. 218 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: And all presidents have this. This is the way of 219 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: the world. You know. 220 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: I love all the activists and all the purists out 221 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: there and the free speech people who think that we 222 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 2: live in this pure world. There's no such thing. Everything's compromised, 223 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: everything's in negotiation. You're always you always have to report 224 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: to somebody else. And I already explained that length last week. 225 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: How none of us in the radio and TV industry 226 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 2: think we have a First Amendment right to say whatever 227 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: we want. 228 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 6: What if you were told John that you had to 229 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 6: say how much you love Governor Newsom and you want 230 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 6: to be with a furry. 231 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 3: And that your job depended on that, what would you do. 232 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: The furry? Yes Newsom? 233 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: No, Okay, I got expressed my love for a furry 234 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: way before I'm going to express my love for Newsom. Yeah, 235 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: I mean I briefly told the story last week that 236 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: and I don't want to get into the specifics. But 237 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: a while back, there was a legal issue k if 238 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: I had to deal with and they needed the Governor 239 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: at the time his approval, and it had to do 240 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 2: with technical issues and they needed the approval. And one 241 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: of the guys upstairs asked us, said, hey, can you 242 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: give the governor a break for just a couple of 243 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: weeks and then you can go back to regular programming 244 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: because we got to get him to sign this, okay, 245 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: because you know, if we don't have a way to 246 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: transmit the show, then the show's not worth very much. 247 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: And with Jimmy Kimble, if the companies don't have a 248 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: way to make money with his show, well then eventually 249 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 2: there's going to be no show. So Next Star has 250 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: got a six billion dollar deal. It has to get 251 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: through with Trump's FCC, and they don't want kim I'll 252 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: getting in the way of that. Then Disney itself has 253 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: a huge deal going on. Disney has purchased about ten 254 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: of esp I read this right, and it's two to 255 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: three billion dollars and they are now going to run 256 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 2: the NFL network channel and the Red Zone channel and 257 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: the Fantasy Football assets. So Disney is going to take 258 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: control of a big chunk of the the NFL's cable 259 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: holdings and that's going to cost him billions of dollars. Well, 260 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 2: that has to be approved by the FCC. So you know, 261 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: by the way, the protests, I flat out and I 262 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: believe one protester in front of Jimmy Kimmel's studio is 263 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: for real. Those have to be hired by some democratic outfit. 264 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: There's no possible way. There's a personal live that's going 265 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: to go stand on Hollywood Boulevard and risk getting stabbed 266 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: to death to protest the suspension of a TV show. 267 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: And if there really are tons of people upset with 268 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the for the last week, 269 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: you better start watching the show because you don't want to. 270 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: He can't have more protesters than he has actual viewers, 271 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: so that that's the way to keep him on the 272 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: ears to watch the thing. And he lost three quarters 273 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: to the audience. And I saw one statistic which explained why. 274 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: As hard as it is for some people to accept, 275 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: there is a an organization called NewsBusters that actually counted 276 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: the jokes that Jimmy Kimmel has told about Trump, and 277 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: he made one one hundred and twenty eight jokes at 278 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: Trump in twenty twenty five. By comparison Joe Biden, he 279 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: only made twenty six jokes about Biden, so it was 280 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 2: one one and twenty eight to twenty six. 281 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 4: Side. 282 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: You obviously pissed off a lot of the audience and 283 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: they got tired of it. It's been going on for years. 284 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: I want to know, and this is a question nobody 285 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: seems to be interested in finding out the answer, at 286 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: least in the media. Why would CBS and ABC lose 287 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars on two late night shows 288 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 2: whose ratings had dropped dramatically and they kept the shows 289 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: on the air. 290 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: Why. 291 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: I've never seen it in my whole life, since I 292 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: was a little kid, shows kept on the air when 293 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: they were losing millions of dollars. And Stephen Colbert's case, 294 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: it was like tens of millions of dollars. Since when 295 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 2: when did that start? Unless they were getting some kind 296 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 2: of backdoor payback, nothing would surprise me. But there must 297 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: be a motivation to keep on shows that are so 298 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: over vertly political when you've lost much of the audience 299 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: and you've lost much of the revenue, and the thing 300 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: keeps chugging along. 301 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: There. I've never seen that before. 302 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: I mean, there are just thousands and thousands of television 303 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: shows in the graveyard, and nearly all of them have 304 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 2: one thing in common. They didn't have enough of an 305 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: audience and they weren't making money. And somehow these two 306 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: shows had a dwindling audience, a collapsing audience, and losing 307 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: tens of millions of dollars each and they stayed on 308 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: the air. 309 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,719 Speaker 1: There's a story there. I don't know what it is. 310 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 311 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 5: six forty. 312 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 2: I think Kamala Harris is going to start giving public 313 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: interviews any day now on her new book One hundred 314 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: and seven Days, And we talked about this on Friday. 315 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: She's trashing some of the other possible presidential candidates on 316 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: her side. She said, Joshapiro, the Pennsylvania Governor, came in 317 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 2: for his interview to be her VP, and he was 318 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: already more interested in whether he could get paintings from 319 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: the Smithsonian to decorate the vice presidential mansion. He was 320 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 2: already trying to negotiate that before the interview even started. 321 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 2: And then she said, Pete boodhage Edge, that would have 322 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: been a good choice, except you know, he's gay, and 323 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 2: I'm black, and I'm married to a Jewish man. And 324 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: ask him in America to then throw a gay guy 325 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: married to another guy into the mix, he thought was 326 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: too much. 327 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: And so two ways you could look at this. 328 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 2: Either she's just sick of politics and is burning all 329 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: the bridges right and try to make some money on 330 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 2: the book, or she's trying to tear down all her 331 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: possible competitors in two thousand and eight. So I'm sure 332 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: she'll be perfectly clear and clarify all this when she 333 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 2: starts doing the interview. 334 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: What did I say two thousand and eight. 335 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: To see the aging process? 336 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Okay, it's two for you today. All right. Well, 337 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: I'm always upfront that I need a minder.

Yeah? Podcast, YouTube show. 347 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: I think it's on satellite as well because I had 348 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 2: a commercial for it. 349 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm serious. Steven A. 350 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: Smith who's primarily known as a sports commentator but now 351 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: he's doing politics and the show is called Straight Shooter, 352 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 2: and he had Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro on and they 353 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: discussed what Kamala Harris has been saying and writing. 354 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 8: I think one of the things that has to happen 355 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 8: is well, for the Democratic Party to move forward in 356 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 8: a very very positive way, is that you know, again, 357 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 8: you have to be resolute, and we understand that. But 358 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 8: in the same breath, when folks come out and they're revealing, well, 359 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 8: they may have been a bit deceptive, or they may 360 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 8: have not been as forthcoming as they should have been, 361 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 8: or what have you, people are looking at things like 362 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 8: that and they're saying in themselves. 363 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: Excuse me, that was a concern. 364 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 8: I bring this up because I'm thinking about former Vice president, 365 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 8: former Democratic of presidential nomine Kamala Harris. She's coming out 366 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 8: with her book One hundred and seven Days, which is 367 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 8: scheduled to be at least sometime next week. In it, 368 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 8: she recounts her run, which was the shortest presidential campaign 369 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 8: in minern Us history. By the way, there's a text 370 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 8: serpent there where she says, quote, it's Joe and Jill's decision. 371 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 8: We all said that like a mantra, as if we'd 372 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 8: all been hypnotized. Was it great or was it recklessness? 373 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 8: In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were 374 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 8: simply too high. This wasn't a choice that should have 375 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 8: been left to an individual's ego, in individual's ambition. It 376 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 8: should have been more. We hear something like that, the 377 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 8: question some folks would want me to ask you is 378 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 8: is she right? 379 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: My question would be why didn't just say that before? 380 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 1: That's what I would be thinking. That's the question that 381 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: comes to my mind as a voter. 382 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 8: How should we feel when we hear something that we 383 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 8: suspected but wasn't acknowledged by politicians who were looking for 384 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 8: our support, and then we find out later we were 385 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 8: right and they should have spoken up. 386 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: What do you say to that? 387 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 9: I mean, look, I haven't read the former vice president's book, 388 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 9: and she's going to have to She's going to have 389 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 9: to answer to how she was in the room and 390 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 9: yet never said anything publicly. 391 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: I can tell you. 392 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 9: That I wasn't in the room, but when I was 393 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 9: confronted with engagement with the former president in looking at 394 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 9: it simply from the perspective of how's he doing in Pennsylvania? 395 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 9: Could he win Pennsylvania? Because I think, Stephen, you understand 396 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 9: that if you can't win pennsylvania's pretty darn hard to 397 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 9: win the national election. And I was very vocal with 398 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 9: him privately and extremely vocal with his staff about my 399 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 9: concerns about his fitness to be able to run for 400 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 9: another term. I was direct with them. I told them 401 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 9: my concerns. I told them my worries. I told them 402 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 9: what I was seeing in the polls. I think it 403 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 9: seemed to me that maybe his staff wasn't counseling him 404 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 9: with all the information that we knew on the ground 405 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 9: here in Pennsylvania that, you know, frankly, they should have 406 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 9: shared with the president. I think that's a conversation between 407 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 9: the former president. 408 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: And his every second. 409 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: Why don't they all come out, hold hands and say, look, 410 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: we'd lied, like hell to you. 411 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: That's what you did. Y'all lied. If you didn't know 412 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: it directly, you heard about it. It was obvious. We 413 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: could tell it from. 414 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: Three thousand miles away, just playing audio clips, just watching 415 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 2: some of the video. 416 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: He was shot. Why why don't they just all admit 417 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: it they afked up. 418 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: There isn't a single person in the Biden administration or 419 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 2: connected to the Democratic Party from that time that I'm 420 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: ever gonna believe. There is not a single reporter or 421 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 2: anchor or anybody connected to that story. If I'm aware 422 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 2: that they didn't say anything, or they claim the opposite, or. 423 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: I don't believe you for the rest of your life. 424 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 2: I don't have to if you could, and include Kama Harris, 425 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 2: if you couldn't be honest and say, hey, he's failing, 426 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: looks like he's senile. It's bad. He shouldn't be running. 427 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 2: He shouldn't even be president right now. That's what somebody 428 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: should have said. And all this clap trap from Kamala 429 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 2: about so I had loyalty to the president. 430 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: You suppose to have loyalty to all of us. 431 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: I want you care about your loyalty to an old 432 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: failing man.

He In Kamala Harris's book, she was looking 492 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: for an endorsement right after Joe Biden dropped out. She 493 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 2: immediately started calling people in the Democratic Party known big 494 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: names and said, hey, will you endorse me? 495 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: Will you do it publicly now? 496 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 2: And she called Kevin Newsom right away and his response, 497 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: out hiking will call you back, And he never did, 498 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 2: which in itself is classic Newsome.

I haven't read it, and so it's 503 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 4: hard to even opine about context and to even reflect 504 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 4: on anything. It's in the book that after press oh, 505 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 4: I mean this is this is such a trivial doesn't 506 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 4: even go into describing how inconsequential you love my comments 507 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 4: are about to be. I mean, you want to waste 508 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,959 Speaker 4: your time with this, we'll do it. Was up there hiking, 509 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 4: there was an unknown number. Check the unknown number. Meanwhile, 510 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 4: I was on text change trying to get in touch 511 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 4: with the Biden administration because I was completely surprised that 512 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 4: the president dropped out and as you know, I was 513 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 4: a surrogate and I was out on the campaign trail, 514 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 4: and so I was trying to figure out what just happened. 515 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 4: And then when I checked the unknown number and that 516 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 4: was Kamala said, hey, hiking, we'll call you back. That 517 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 4: exact same moment was working with my team to put 518 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 4: out a statement to endorse her. I assume that's in 519 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 4: the book as well. That hours later the endorsement came out. 520 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 4: So beyond that pretty well established, including an event in 521 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 4: San Francisco we did at the Fairmount. 522 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 2: For the reason I'm saying he's lying is because this 523 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 2: is what he said on another podcast that he had 524 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: last year, politicking with his co host Doug Hendrickson and 525 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: former NFL player Marshawn Lynch. He's got a different story 526 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: in this telling. 527 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 7: Gavin, how's your week going, Gavin, Everything's great, everything, this 528 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 7: is normal. 529 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: Typically couldn't be off what I said, couldn't be. What 530 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: do you mean? Couldn't be? I mean because in. 531 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 9: My lifetime, I don't think I never seen the president 532 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 9: of the drop out like that. 533 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: How old am I? I ain't seen no like that? 534 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 2: And then because it make it a little bit more spicy, 535 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 2: because I'm sitting down with possibly that could really go 536 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: and do it. 537 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 7: Though, by the way, I wasn't sitting down when I 538 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 7: got the word. 539 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: I was on my treadmill. 540 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 7: I was working on the treadmill, and all of a sudden, 541 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 7: the phone starts lighting up saying, You'll obviously seen this. 542 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 7: And I'm like this third person said you've obviously seen this. 543 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 7: I'm like, what the hell they talking about? So I 544 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 7: put it down to two. I'm walking. 545 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 3: I think it was. 546 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 7: Four actually, and I'm walking and I'm like, whoa. And 547 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 7: that was the last thing I was expecting on a 548 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 7: quiet Sunday. And then I mean lights out on the 549 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 7: cell phone and all the emails and everything else. 550 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: So July twenty twenty four, he claimed to these two 551 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: ballplayers he was on the treadmill when he found out 552 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: Biden's drop out. And then now twenty twenty five, he's 553 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 2: claiming he was hiking when he found out and Kamala 554 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 2: was calling him, except he didn't know it was Kamala's number. 555 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: He doesn't have Kamala's number, okay, so he just does 556 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,239 Speaker 2: it so easily. One day, Oh yeah, I was on 557 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: the treadmill. Next day, it's like well, I was hiking. 558 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 2: I mean, he's absolutely shameless. I've actually never seen anything 559 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: like this to this extent in the public figure. And 560 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: he just does it every day, just breezes out of 561 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 2: his mouth. We come back, all right, I gotta talk 562 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: about Tom Holman. There was a Department of Justice investigation 563 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 2: to Tom Holman claiming that he took bribe money. It 564 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 2: was broken by MSNBC, followed up by The New York Times. 565 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 2: Apparently there's gonna be no che ourges. I'm gonna explain 566 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: all this coming up. Uh, you want to hear this story. 567 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: It is a little weird.
