Yeah, 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: we're at the Gascon recall desk where the news was 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: released last night that they have gotten to another signature milestone, 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand signatures collected, they have raised six million dollars. 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: We'll go now to former La County District Attorney Steve 22 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: Cooley from more On. This sounds like a pretty good update. Hello, Yes, 23 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I thought you had more. You know. May 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: first was the day that they hit the four and 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: thousand mark, and that happens to be Loveday USA, declared 26 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: by President Eisenhower nineteen fifty eight. So we've a lot 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: to celebrate with May first. And how do you think 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: it's going? Do you think we're reaching the tail end 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: to this? So there's still a lot of interest in 30 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: signing these petitions. There's a lot of interest in signing 31 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: the petitions. I was out last weekend with my Recall 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: gas Gone hat on at a table with a little banner. 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: This is recall gascone and it's like a magnet. People 34 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: want to sign it. The key is getting out there, 35 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: making ourselves available for the public and they will come 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: to do it. They want him out, and they want 37 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: him out big time. We are on track, but the 38 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: worst thing we can do is become complacent or overconfident. 39 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: We've got until July sixth to gather in excess. So well, 40 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: literally five hundred sixty six thousand valid signatures and so 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: we've got to what sixty six days. The Polish this sing, oh, 42 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: we're on track, but we have to stay on track. 43 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: How what kind of a cushion do you want? How 44 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: far over that five six? Yeah, the experts say that 45 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: teen percent is generally enough. That would take us still 46 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: around six hundred and seventy five thousand. Some people, you know, 47 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: really want to be totally sure, you know, like we're 48 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: suspenders and abel the same time, and they're thinking seven 49 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: hundred thousand about it's really as many as we can get. Well, 50 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: you know about the hocus focus that happened when with 51 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: that Mike Bonden recall, and they said there was a 52 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: lot of hocus focus, But I think that that was 53 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: a little bit confused because people outside of Bonus district 54 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: wanted him out because he affected their district. So he 55 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: probably had people outside of his district enthusiastically signing the 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: recall petition, not realizing that they weren't exactly within his 57 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: councilmatic district. This is Los Angeles County, and people generally 58 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: know the county where they live. So I feel pretty 59 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: confident we get ten percent more than five hundred and 60 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: sixty six thousand, you're going to see him on a ballot. 61 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: And let me tell you the way, I think if 62 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: the number of signatures is sufficient, he can count himself 63 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: recalled at that moment he is. The polling shows that 64 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: he will be overwhelmingly recalled and won't be just a landslide. 65 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: There'll be a mega landslide. We just must get him 66 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: on a ballot and then he's gone and our prayers 67 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: of an answer. How much vetting do you do with 68 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: the signatures you're already have, Like, how confident are you 69 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: that most of these signatures are going to survive scrutiny 70 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: by a county government. You know they're going to circle 71 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: the wagon and try to protect one of their own. Well, 72 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: interestingly enough, the law does allow, and the county does 73 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: allow for a private company to validate the signatures, and 74 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: that can be that's paid for and they are trusted 75 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: and they are certified to do so. So they're already 76 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: validating the signatures as they come in. They go over 77 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: to the validation company and they get validated. And I've 78 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: been told by the professionals. The validation rate in this 79 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: instance is higher than normal, so we're doing very very 80 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: well on validation. So is that four hundred thousand validated 81 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: signatures or that four in thousand uh signatures that are 82 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: in with a high degree of validation, So we're really 83 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: the rate is excellent for us. Okay, good. I just 84 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: wanted to be as specific as we can because we've had, 85 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, bonding and other close calls over the years. Yeah, 86 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: and when you get everything gets inspected, that's when stuff 87 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: goes awry. Let's talk about the money. Yeah, you're right, 88 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: six million dollars, which is really a substantial amount for 89 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: this kind of a contest. And I think that, uh, 90 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, uh, money follows a winner. And I think 91 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: that people out there realize that this guy could go 92 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: down and they want to be part of it. So 93 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: they are donating and they are contributing some relatively large 94 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: amounts and others the smaller amounts. But people want to 95 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: go with a winner, and this looks like it's going 96 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: to be a winner. Yeah. Hardly a day or a 97 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: week goes by without another gascon outrageous story concerning what's 98 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: going on. I mean, just the other day, we had 99 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: several of his deputy da sue him again for retaliation 100 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: concerning his directives. But in terms of a recall, In 101 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: term of recall, he certainly is the gift that keeps 102 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: on giving because arc you right, it's almost like every 103 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: day there's something new that's bad about him and has 104 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: tied directly to him, whether it be the environment he 105 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: creates in the office, the fact of ninety eight percent 106 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: of the deputy das want him recalled cases case decisions 107 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: where he's intimately involved and some of his public defender 108 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: crony management people are doing injustice to people. Yeah, he's 109 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: really made a very good case to recall him through 110 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: his own acts, activities, and policies. You know what I 111 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: find weird is if he believes in all these philosophies 112 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: so deeply, and it's clear he does. Why he is 113 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: he trying to survive at least so he can make 114 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: it two more years because he's doing everything he can 115 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: to ensure the recall is going to succeed, and it's 116 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: it's self destructive. You know, at some point you've got 117 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: to read the landscape and realize you're going to blow 118 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: yourself up. In November whereas if you make some public concessions, 119 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: a little public relations, maybe you survive for another two years. Well, 120 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: I think that's a good point. But I don't think 121 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: he can unring his bell. It is so bad and 122 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: so well known and so well documented that he's not 123 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: going to be able to overcome it. Maybe he has 124 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: something else up at sleeve. But well, it's like the 125 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: question I could ask all the time, why does George 126 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: Soros do what George Soros does? You can't get in 127 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: their head. You can't get in gas Gold's heads, you 128 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: can't get in Sorrows's head. Even today, I mean, there's 129 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: some head scratching over the attacker of Dave Chappelle on 130 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: stage at Hollywood Bowl. They're kicking the story the city 131 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: attorney for misdemeter charges, and people said, well, I don't know. 132 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: He had a replica gun with a blade attached and 133 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: look pretty serious to them. They're all surprised. It just 134 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: looked like a serious assault to to you know, the 135 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: untrained eye. Well I saw that and looked to me 136 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: like it very well could have been a felony assault 137 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: with intent to commit great bodily injury. He did have 138 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: this replica gun but if that knife it was attached 139 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: to it was metal, well then you've got in as 140 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: in his possession as any anywhere close to the victim. 141 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: That's assault with a deadly weapon or very likely assault 142 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: with intent to commit great bodily injury. So I don't 143 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: know what they were thinking down there. Well, and that's 144 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: an example of what I was talking about. This is 145 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: an easy lay up here, right that everybody knows the story. 146 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: Everybody's seen them video. To the untrained eye at it 147 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: looks like a felony. And then he comes out with 148 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: a with a misdemeanor charge and kicks it to the 149 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: city attorney. It's oh my god, are you serious? I mean, 150 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, well, I'm just amazing. It's an easy lay up. 151 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: But it's a Swish and he's a Swish artist. It 152 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to get anything right in terms of the 153 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: law or the facts. We just have to get rid 154 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: of this guy. Yeah. If not, he's going to be 155 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: creating a lot more victims, unnecessary victims. All right, Steve, Steve, 156 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: you're doing great work. Yeah. By the way, did people 157 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: recognize you when you're sitting there with the hat on 158 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: at the collecting signatures? Anybody say hey, it's a former 159 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: dah some do and some don't, and the ones that don't, 160 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: I just remind them, Yeah, you want to know, sign 161 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: the petition. That's right, this guy's got to go. All right, 162 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: thanks for coming on again. Okay, guys, thank you, all right, 163 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: the former La County District Attorney Steve Cooley. Of course, 164 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: it's a big part of the effort to recall Da 165 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: George Gascone that recalled Da George Gascon dot com. Four 166 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: hundred thousand signatures and growing more coming up. Johnny Kencho, 167 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: if it looks like it's going to be several misdemeanor 168 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: charges filed by the city attorney the mustache Mike Fura 169 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: against the attacker of Dave Chappelle on the stage of 170 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: Hollywood Bowl. So that won't result in really, Eddie, he 171 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: won't get jail punishment. Now, misdemeanors don't get jail time 172 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: in La County. They don't. It's the whole probably we 173 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: have with Prop forty seven dealing with shoplifting and drug 174 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: use and everything's a misdemean But George Gascon just gave 175 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: a free pass to a guy who was assaulted Dave 176 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: Chappelle in front of thousands of people. Yeah, any basis. 177 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: So now I think it's starting to hit home for 178 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: this left wing, progressive celebrity Hollywood crowd. Yet, Jacqueline Avaunt 179 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: get killed in Beverly Hills and that shook up a 180 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: lot of the West side, the left wing crowd. And 181 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: now you're gonna see Dave Chappelle get to get tackled 182 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: right in front of your eyes. That addition to all 183 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: the sentences that he has reduced because he doesn't do 184 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: sentencing enhancements, and of course the trans person that attacked 185 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: the little girl in the restroom and got a sentence. 186 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: These stories just continue to build and build against this man, 187 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's what's propelling the signature gathering. I 188 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: just hope they make it to the finish line. Yeah, 189 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: six million dollars. I don't know how it said that 190 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: they've spent, but six millions is sizeable amount. Yeah, I 191 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: mean they got they got two solid months here, They 192 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: got to have some left to actually affect the recall 193 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: and get him out of office in November. So yeah, 194 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: speaking of all this, the union representing seven hundred prosecutors 195 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: has filed a complaint because George Gascone will not engage 196 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: with any collective bargaining with them. You may find this surprising, 197 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: but the Association of Deputy District Attorneys is a union 198 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: for the Deputy das of La County and they do 199 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: collectively bargain for certain aspects of their deal with the 200 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: county and with the DA. And they said that he's 201 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: ignoring them now maybe because ninety something percent of them 202 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: voted to support the recall. I'm sure, but you can't 203 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: really do this. You have to carry on business. And 204 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: he has ignored their request for some bargaining. He's failed 205 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: to provide related material requested by the union. There's no letters, 206 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: phone calls and emails, nothing, nothing. They get crickets when 207 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: they reach out to the Gasconde administration about what's going 208 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: on with their their deal. He doesn't He doesn't care 209 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: about the law, He doesn't care about anything. Giving them 210 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: the finger. Yeah, hopefully, I probably wish as they'd all quit. Uh. Yeah, 211 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,599 Speaker 1: they want to bargain because they want to increase the 212 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: number of they describe them as Grade four deputy das 213 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: and a special pay adjustment for that class. Compensatory time. 214 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: Issues involving environmental protocols and metal detectors and all that 215 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: stuff has to be What does sounds like is routine 216 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: to me, Right, it's just routine that occasionally the Union 217 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: of witches out to the management and says, all right, 218 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 1: here's a few thinks we need to talk about it, 219 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: and usually responses, okay, we'll get to it. But there 220 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: is nothing. Look, he doesn't care if people die. He 221 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: doesn't care about the uh, the mothers of their children 222 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: getting killed. You know, he's he's a sociopath and he's 223 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: a jerk. On top of that, he thinks that the 224 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 1: deputy das are evil because their prosecutors have been part 225 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 1: of the system that he wants to completely upend and 226 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: diverse if they prosecute criminals and great evil are these 227 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: what are these guys doing prosecuting criminals? Huh, Well, their prosecutors, 228 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: mister Gascon, I don't care. It's outrageous. We don't do 229 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: that anymore in this office. We don't prosecute. We do 230 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: restorative justice. We sit down and we discuss what happened, 231 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: Go out and restore. You know you've been raped, We'll 232 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: bring in your rapist. You guys will sit down and 233 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: work it out. All right, and everybody goes back to 234 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: their lives. That's basically what the idealist of George gascon 235 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: to do. Was it. Henry Shubert explaining that restorative justice thing. Yeah, 236 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: that was yesterday if you didn't hear her. She's running 237 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: for attorney general up against Rob Bonto's the current attorney general. 238 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: And we asked her because I am really fascinated, and 239 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: very little journalism has done on this. What are all 240 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: these coca maybe alleged rehab programs. What is all this 241 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: restorative justice? He says, the state does have some and 242 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: some do work. Not on the level of this. I'd 243 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: like to know what they do that works and what 244 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: they do that doesn't. I want to understand this because 245 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: they have a pretty high recentivism rate, so a lot 246 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: of this doesn't work. I mean, Smiley Martin got a 247 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: lot of credits, and presumably he went through rehab, rehab programs, 248 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: and then he ended up shooting everybody up in Sacramento. 249 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: But he talked. She talked about restorative justice, where you 250 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: have you have a rapist and the rape victim gets 251 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: to sit down with the rapist and explain all the 252 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: horror and trauma of being raped. Right, so here, Remember, 253 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: if the rape victim won't go, they put a stand in. Yeah, 254 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: but that part, that's what I flipped my lid over that. 255 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: It's like, well, most of the time she's not gonna go. 256 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, who wants to actually sit across from your 257 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: rapist and try to explain how horrible it was? Right 258 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: while he sits there, roll in his eyes or with 259 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: like some smirk on his face, and and Mary said, wow. 260 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: And what they want to do is they get get 261 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: a substitute, some other rape victim who's willing to talk 262 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: to the rapist. And I'm thinking, are you and this 263 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: this was not her idea, She's just explaining how I'm thinking, 264 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: are you nuts? Seriously? This is this is what goes 265 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: on there. This really is what goes on. You get 266 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: a substitute rape victim to try to reach the rapist, 267 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: and this is what restorative justice is. They are truly insane. 268 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: The love and understanding can change anyone. John Why don't 269 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: you get that? Wellhy don't I get that? What's wrong 270 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: with me? All right? We got more kevint. Obviously I'm 271 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: the problem.

Yeah, it's 277 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: just about his Yeah, he guided us all right. Oh yeah, 278 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: his progressive, bold agenda. He needs to follow through on 279 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: it with his full second term. We'll be watching it. Thanks. 280 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: This Media releases this afternoon from one of the stooges 281 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: on the La County Board of Supervisors, John loves them all. 282 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: It's not silly Cull, it's the other one. Janis Hon 283 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: Janis Han And when we did this story last week, 284 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: we both kind of said, Wow, this is going to 285 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: give this crowd they're gonna have to pick. What am 286 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: I talking about? It's the mess at Union Station in 287 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: downtown Los Angeles. The El Segundo Times did a story 288 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: talking to the noble workers, these would be the janitors 289 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: and what they face on a daily basis from attacks 290 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: and homeless people who basically live in Union Station, the 291 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: Biddy's Busy rail station in downtown Los Angeles, and of 292 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: course we were on the side of the employees. They work. 293 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: They're trying to do their best to clean the bathrooms 294 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: and such, but some of them are getting beat up 295 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 1: and attacked and it's so bad. A lot of them 296 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: wondering if they should come to work, even though you know, 297 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: this is the lower end of the labor pool, so 298 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of choices there. So this afternoon, 299 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: janis Han put out a message. Today, Los Angeles County 300 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: Supervisor Janis Han released the following statement in support of 301 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: Union Station janitors who've experienced increased violence since the pandemic. Quote, 302 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: what is happening to janitors at Union Station is unacceptable. 303 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: No one should have to go through what these essential 304 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: workers are there you go are experiencing. I support and 305 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: stand with these workers and calling for increased security, better 306 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: safety protocols to protect them so they can do their 307 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: jobs without fearing for their lives. No mention the fact 308 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: that it's homeless people that are causing the right exactly. Yeah, 309 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: it's all the crazy homeless people that janis Han allows 310 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: to run all over Union Station instead of getting the 311 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: sheriff's deputies in there to clear them out, and Sam, 312 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you can't. You can't lie around here, and 313 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: you can't go terrorizing the workers. That's what you do. 314 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: You send in a force of sheriff's deputies instead. This 315 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: makes me crazy, but releases a statement to support them. 316 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm releasing a statement. I support the janitors. I'm standing 317 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: with them. Look at me, you see me. I'm standing. 318 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: I'm standing with them, and I support them, and I'm 319 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: going home now. All she's saying is all just increased security. No, 320 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: you're right, get the bums out of there. You gotta 321 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: get you gotta get the sheriff's deputies. Oh but that's 322 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: the other half of this. They have nowhere to go, 323 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: and we can't just criminalize homelessness by evicting people from 324 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: one of the few indoor spaces they can hang out in. 325 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: And not to mention all the crazy people that are 326 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: taking the buses and the trains all day. Yeah, no, 327 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean how many how many of those 328 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: homeless people when they get bored with laid in their 329 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: own waist at Union Station, then crawl into a train 330 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: and just ride the train back and forth all day 331 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: something to do? I mean, occasionally get off of it. 332 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: They never do anything. They never do anything, and every 333 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: four years they get voted in and are paid three 334 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year to do nothing. Again, that's 335 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: why I didn't get calling for a bath. I just 336 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I don't know how many of 337 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: these five are up for us. I think you get 338 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: twelve years as supervisor. I think so, yeah, okay, and 339 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: then they're paid three hundred thousand, and that doesn't count 340 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: the slush funds that they have on the side, So 341 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: that's about three and a half million dollars in twelve 342 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: years they earn, plus the slush funds, plus their healthcare benefits. 343 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: They do absolutely nothing but make life more and more miserable. 344 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: And on election days, I ask, I'm going to vote 345 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: for Janis Han. I really like her. I rarely do. 346 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: I think she's doing a wonderful job. So on the 347 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: same topic, the only county board of Supervisors had this 348 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: blue ribbon commission on homelessness and they announced today their decision. 349 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: And all it is is to reshuffle the bureaucracy. They're 350 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: creating a new office or new departments. Oh good, here 351 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: we go. The homeless succulus that things go play we 352 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: get to hire more bureaucrats. That's right. Well, they've clearly 353 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: been unsatisfied with our friends at LASSO, the Los Angeles 354 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: Homeless Services Authority. So what they're doing with this is 355 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: they're trying to create a new agency that they believe 356 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: will be better coordinated. It will include the county's Department 357 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: of Health Services, Social Services, and Mental health, and we 358 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: report directly to the board of supervisors. Do I hear 359 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: and see here this nothing's going to change. I don't think, well, 360 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: because it's the same talent pool of do nothing and 361 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: there's no measures they're going to take to really aggressively 362 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: deal with the homeless problem. No, there's there's no usual 363 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: PAP about it. How we need to find housing? Oh 364 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: here here, here's this supervisor, Hilda so Leise, who is 365 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: almost as stupid as janis hon Almost okay, I's saying, 366 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: But then then there's shell kills. This mean um, so 367 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: Lese said. The recommendations, this is a great quote, provide 368 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: a framework for building a transparent, inclusive, at accountable homeless 369 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: governance system. This is PAP, transparent and inclusive. The dopey playbook. 370 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: I know what the what the f does that mean 371 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: we have thitty partners who will be at the table 372 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: to enhance cooperation to support unhoused individuals living in their jurisdictions, 373 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: to support unhoused individuals. It's nonsense. So jenis Hon is 374 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: supporting the U the UH union station workers, and she's 375 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: supporting the unhoused homeless. Yeah, son to be none housed homeless. 376 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: This Blue Ribbon Commission was sitting around since last July. 377 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: This is what they came up with, an eight member 378 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: committee task with conducting a comprehensive study and analysis of 379 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: losses governance and operations and provide recommendations to change and 380 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: improve the agency's effectiveness. This is entertaining. She and Laquelle 381 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: actually voted against it. She said it would cause a 382 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: thickening of the county bureaucracy. Like I kind of agree 383 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: with her, Like the thing the vote was three to two, 384 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: wasn't it like a thickening of the your carnary arteries 385 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: and a process of administrative seat swapping that sounds a 386 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: little dirty, that will divert time, resources and attention. Well, 387 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: she's kind of saying what we said, it's only going 388 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: to be another big bureaucracy and it's probably just going 389 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:55,719 Speaker 1: to be people who were at loss of will come 390 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: over to this new agency and we'll get the same 391 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: bad results. Right, Probably what's going to happen? Well, yeah 392 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, it's because they have experience to bring 393 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: them on board. But they failed. They stink. See, they 394 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: want laws and to refocus its efforts on ensuring that 395 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: federal funding opportunities are in line with state and local priorities. 396 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean? Listen to this process. 397 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: Before they created this super agency, they had the Blue 398 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: Ribbon Commission, eight members, six months of meeting, a comprehensive 399 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: study and analysis of lofts governance and operations. And they 400 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: sought feedback from County Supervisor's staff, Los Angeles City Council members, 401 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: business associations, coalitions of faith leaders, officials from cities across 402 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: the county, civics groups like the Committee for Greater LA. 403 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: They say they want LA to refocus its efforts on 404 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: ensuring that federal funding opportunities. Oh, they want more money 405 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: from the federal government. I get it. Yeah, it's just 406 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: to feed the homeless industrial complex monster, right, Because they 407 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: they're going to hire all these new people and the 408 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: super rebellions that they've already spent not enough, Just get 409 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: us more money. So would this be covered by some 410 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: federal program that we could act stress, got more covered up? 411 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: People are useless, worthless failures. A couple of stories dealing 412 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: with Russia Ukraine. This one a bit surprising. Remember we 413 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: mentioned the other day that the Russian Foreign Minister, in 414 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: an interview with an Italian media outlet, said that Adolf 415 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: Hitler had Jewish blood. Remember that story, Yes, is Sergei Lavrov. 416 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: Guess what happened today? You might be shocked. Vladimir Putin 417 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: called the Israeli Prime minister and apologized for that remark. 418 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: He kills thousands of Ukrainians. Yes, and the thing he 419 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: apologizes for is one of his ministers. Stupid Hitler might 420 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: have been Jewish? Yes, Apparently Israel is trying to be 421 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: a mediator between Russia and Ukraine. Well they were before 422 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: the invasion, but they're still So what are they doing 423 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: though they're being a mediator? What do you mediate when No, 424 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: they were trying to mediate before the invasion, before they 425 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: gave up. But Putin apologized. Now, another story connected to Putin, 426 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: which is fascinating, deals with the oligarchs and the yachts. 427 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: There is this super yacht called the Shara Hazad. Oh, 428 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: that's Putin's yacht. We don't know that. Yeah, there has 429 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: not been due process. It's worth seven hundred million dollars 430 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty nine feet. So it's been in 431 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: a repair dock in the Italy in a place called 432 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: Marina di Carrera, and the Italian police are trying to 433 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: certifiably find out who the legitimate owner is before they 434 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 1: seize it, otherwise as if they don't find that out 435 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: in time, it may take off once it's fully repaired it. 436 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: What's he gonna do drop nuclear weapons on Italy? Yeah, 437 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: I don't know why, they just take it. It's the 438 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: Italian media says the owner is Edward uh Kudenatoff, an 439 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: oil tycoon not sanctioned currently, and apparently the crew is British, 440 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: the captain is British, and they're just not commenting at all. 441 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: When reporters trying to ask them who owns this to 442 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: some just say I don't know, or others just say 443 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: not to putin. Well, I'm sorry, they're British. No putin. 444 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: They put it in the water on Tuesday. So mister 445 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: Knutofs ownership of the vessel could not be independently verified. 446 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: If he is the owner, it may only be on paper. 447 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: His name also came up in the case of another 448 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: super yacht, but there was a former crew member who 449 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: wanted to remain anonymous, who said, Oh, it's Putin's it's 450 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: Putin's yacht. Yeah, No, it's you. Just you just have 451 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: a buddy put his name on it, that's all. Yeah. 452 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: What would you do with it if you seized it? 453 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: I guess I'd blown up. No, you could sell it 454 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: and use money for your government. And did you see 455 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: one of a really cool, expensive Russian tank was blown 456 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: up by the Ukrainians, one of their newest one of 457 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: their newest bottles. That's right, smoking ruins. Now, yeah, what 458 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: did they call it here? It's supposedly they were the 459 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: most advanced tank, the T Dash ninety m. They just 460 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: put it out there just days after it was deployed. 461 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: It's now a smoldering rack. God knows how much that 462 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: thing cost. What they get it with another drone drop? 463 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: Is that how they did it? Or I don't know, 464 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: I don't know what. I guess fired some kind of 465 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: some kind of missile at it. The Ukrainians have been 466 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: really good at this. I guess I have to say 467 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: they were ready and we were giving them the way 468 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: and everything.
