His special directives that he's enacted has 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: given criminals kind of a get out of jail free card. 14 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: We need to use science and data in order to 15 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: address public safety on violent crimes. By his data and 16 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: science is completely flawed. Nobody's safe in Lost Angeles because 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: of a different attorney gap on. You will see that 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: not only have a hands fablic safety. I am absolutely 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: outraged at the life that the suggest zone is feeling. 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: He has no business implementing laws of his own personal choice, 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: which we voted against. We've done so in a way 22 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: that it's much more more physically and socially responsible. Not 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: only is he breaking the law, but he is not 24 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: feeling what he is supposed to do as a district attorney, 25 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: and that is protective victim. He is in the wrong office. 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: He should have been a public defender. Each voted in 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: it could be voted out, celebrating us going home on 28 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: his gasking direct crime and sort of historic blow and 29 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: the stations of historic laws in the state got the 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: bunch of boloney. And now for an update on the 31 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: recall of La County District Attorney George Gascon years. Yes, 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: and it's the best update of all. They submitted the 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: signatures to the La County Register our voters, seven hundred 34 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: and seventeen thousand of them, thank you, which they needed 35 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: about five hundred and sixty eight thousand, so they have 36 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: well more than a twenty percent cushion. So this should happen, 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: but we'll wait and see, because you can't trust anybody 38 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: counting counting petitions. Now, yeah, I would call it's the 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: best news of all because we don't have it on 40 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: the ballot yet. But this was obviously a significant move 41 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: towards that. But so far, so far, so good. Let's 42 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: get Eric sadal On. He's vice president of the Association 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorneys, and they had a 44 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: big event today in Norwalk at the LA County Register 45 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: of Voters where they brought in all the signatures to 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: officially turn them over. Eric. How are you. I'm great, 47 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: I'm great. I'm hopeful about our future of Los Angeles now, 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: so you think we've got enough here? Look, we have 49 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: seven seventeen thousand signatures, as you guys reported, that is 50 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: an enormous number. That is an historic number. So I 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: am I'm hopeful that we are able to get every 52 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: single signature counted and that the Registrar's office does the 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: right thing. I think we had a significant cushion. I 54 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: have to tell you my hat is off to the 55 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: recall committee. They have done an amazing job. You know 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: that's I mean, think about it, seven hundred and seventeen 57 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: thousand individual signatures of people who are fed up with 58 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: the district attorney. I bet you if you went back 59 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: three years ago, you couldn't get one hundred thousand people 60 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: to know what or that knew what the district attorney does. 61 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: Now you have seven hundred and seventeen thousand Angelino's who 62 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: want the district's attorney recalled, They want it on the ballot, 63 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: they want to stop the chaos. And you gentlemen are 64 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: very much responsive, partially responsible, who are actually very much 65 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: responsible for the fact that we got so many signatures 66 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: because you guys have been telling the truth to Angelino's 67 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: about what is going on in Los Angeles under George Gascon. Well, 68 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: there's like a story every week or so from this 69 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: guy's office is about how he's handled these cases in 70 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: horrendous fashion. Of course, the big one for more recent 71 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: which is the two killing of the killing of the 72 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: two Almonti police officers by a guy that just skated 73 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: by with a strike on his record. Gascon if he 74 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: does go down, has contributed to his own demise with 75 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: his directives, right, and you know that's That's the other 76 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: thing that we have to remember is that there's been 77 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: a lot of lives lost because of this man's policy. 78 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: He has been an absolute, complete and utter failure in 79 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: terms of his approach to criminal justice. It is not reform. 80 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: All it is is protecting the most violent criminals, giving 81 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: them an opportunity to continue to victimize innocent Angelino's. And 82 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: I think that you know that what we saw today 83 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: is a breadth of fresh air, a sign that there's 84 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: a new hope, that there's a new direction that Los 85 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: Angeles wants to take. And you know, we need to 86 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: take that opportunity. But we also need to make sure 87 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: that our Registers Office does their job. They do it correctly, 88 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: they don't try to put their thumb on the scale, 89 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: and we want every single signature count it. We want 90 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: to make sure that that the voters have their chance 91 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: to be able to recall the DA How do you 92 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: monitor the petition counting? So the campaign will be you know, 93 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: very rigorous in terms of making sure that they don't 94 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: unnecessarily throw signatures. You know, there's there's a couple steps 95 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: in this process. Um the election code says that there 96 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: has to be a five percent sampling, and I don't 97 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: want to get too much into the weeds, but that 98 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: five percent, we actually don't We're not able to control 99 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: what what what petitions they select, So that's kind of 100 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's random. But you know, I'm hoping that 101 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: we rely on math and we don't rely on politics, 102 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: So they do a five percent sampling, and what kind 103 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: of clearance rate would convince them that the five percent 104 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: sample is enough and they could just approve of the 105 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: recall vote. Well, it's it's gonna it's not going to 106 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: sound right because the way the way the election code 107 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: is ran, but it has to be somewhat over one 108 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: hundred percent verification rates, but it doesn't really mean an 109 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: actual one. So look the bottom right. I don't understand 110 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: that right exactly. That's that's why I know I get 111 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: too much as the weeds about this, but I think 112 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: what's really what's going to happen is the five percent 113 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: sample will happen, and what they'll determine is that every 114 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: single vote or every single signature needs to be counted 115 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: and it's going to take about thirty working days for 116 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: them to do that. And then after that, the Board 117 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: of Supervisors does more of a ceremonial vote where they 118 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: decide when the election is going to happen, and if 119 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: everything goes to plan, most likely this is going to 120 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: be a special election on the ballot. So we're talking 121 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: after the regular November election, maybe in what December January 122 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: or even later than that. December January. I think that's 123 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: the more prudent call to make at this point. It's 124 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: going to you know, it will be a single issue. 125 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: Do we recall the day and if he's recalled, who 126 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: do we replace him? Most of the county supervisors are 127 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: Gascon fans, they're anti police. Can they do anything to 128 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: delay this significantly or muck up the process? There's very 129 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: middle that they can do to delay it. I mean, 130 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: this is all done by statue, and you know, look, 131 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: we have a you know, there are people on this 132 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: board of supervisors who are very good. Katherine Barger comes 133 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: to mind, as as as someone who I think will 134 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: keep everyone honest. So I'm hopeful she will, and you know, 135 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: I have zero reason to believe that she won't. So 136 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think we will get this on the 137 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: ballot and we will see the recall of George Gascon 138 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: and if it comes on the ballot, because again I 139 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: think you look at his unfavorables. Everyone knows him, no 140 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: one likes him. Yeah, yeah, Do you suspect he will 141 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: change his behavior at all? Because so far he's been 142 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: stubborn and he hasn't given an inch. I mean, even 143 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: with the two cops getting killed, in al Monte. He 144 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: had very little to say about that particular case when 145 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: we found out that he was responsible, except who knew 146 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: the guy wasn't violent? Man? Well, I think in his 147 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: background in the kating, he was a violent person. We're sorry. 148 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, remember he did give the officers his thoughts 149 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: and prayers. Sure, you know, you know what I would 150 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: love it for him to do is keep his thoughts 151 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: and prayers to himself and actually do his job, right, 152 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: I mean, do you I mean, do you foresee him 153 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: trying to pull a Hail Mary and suddenly reversing a 154 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: lot of his policies and trying to be more conciliatory publicly. Look, 155 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: if you if you listen to him on the press, 156 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: you know his interviews recently, you would think that he's 157 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: this crime fighting DA who's actually really interested in putting 158 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: away violent criminals. I mean, he's trying to do a 159 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: major facelift to his public image. But we know what 160 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,119 Speaker 1: he's done, and we know that his policies have contributed 161 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: to violent criminals getting out and killing. And the best 162 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: example is the t Almani police officers that is on him. 163 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: It's his policies that resulted in the death of the 164 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: two officers, and he owns that one and he will 165 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: always own that one. I don't care what type of 166 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: plastic surgery he's been engaging to try to change his 167 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: public image. We all know what this man stands for, 168 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: and he stands for making sure that violent criminals are 169 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: no longer held accountable by the criminal justice system. All right, Eric, 170 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: thank you very much for coming on once again. We 171 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: appreciated and your refforts too. Yeah, your efforts to have 172 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: been wonderful in all of your public appearances on this 173 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll have a whole campaign coming up this fall. 174 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: Let's hope, let's hope to get him officially driven out 175 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: of office. All right, Thanks a lot, Eric Sidall. And 176 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: he's vice president of the Association of Los Angeles Deputy 177 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: District Attorneys, and obviously we're a big part of the 178 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: effort to get this recall on the ballot. It's not 179 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: a done deal yet. Apparently there's a spokeshole for the 180 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: La County Registrar's office who has spoken to the El 181 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: Segundo Times. His name is Michael Sanchez, and they haven't 182 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: made a decision yet as to whether or not they're 183 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: going to look at every signature, or they're going to 184 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: do a random sample. He said the States elections rules 185 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: do permit them to examine just a random sample of 186 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: the forms. They said they will finalize their methodology for 187 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: validating the signatures after they received the petition forums that 188 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: the campaign used to collect signatures. In other words, they 189 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: wanted to wait till today, till they're all turned in 190 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: and they all these boxes lined up, and then they 191 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: can make a decision. My memory, my understanding of this 192 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: is you can do the five percent sample, and then 193 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: if you have a really high approval rate, then you 194 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: cannot bother with the other ninety five percent. If it 195 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: looks like, you know that this number is so good 196 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: out of the five percent, it's likely that the rest 197 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: of the batch will have the same. And what if 198 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: you have a bad validation rate, Well then you've got 199 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: to do the whole You got to look at every signature. Yeah, 200 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: well they just say, all right, that means the rest 201 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: of them probably already. It could either Yeah, I don't know. 202 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if that's happened. 203 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if they've ever had because usually if 204 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: you go through the process of meeting the required number 205 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: of signatures. You know, you have a you have a 206 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: good haul in there. It may not be you know, 207 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: exactly the target, but it's usually you know, in the neighborhood. 208 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: The soonest the recall election could take place is November eighth. 209 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: That's when we have the general election, La City Mayor 210 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: County Sheriff City Council and of course the national midterms. 211 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: The latest it could be if this qualifies, would be 212 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: January of next year. This story mentions at least two people. 213 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: Deputy DA John McKinney has already said he's interested in 214 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: being a recall vote replacement for gascone, and it does 215 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: mention Jonathan Hatami, who's been in our show many times. 216 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: He was one of the first I think we spoke 217 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: to publicly. We've had McKinney on two and he's he's 218 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: on TV a lot. Yeah, these two are the two 219 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: names being mentioned. They also put Steve Cooley's name in 220 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: the mix, but he hasn't obviously committed to possibly running 221 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: to once again be La County DA, but it'll be 222 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 1: around the first week of August. We'll find out. Now 223 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: there's going to be a quiet period, will we wait 224 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: for the thirty days here, and trust me, the county 225 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: registrar wouldn announce anything before pretty much the whole thirty 226 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: day deadline. That's probably just the way they work. So 227 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: we probably won't find out until the beginning of August 228 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: whether or not this is going to qualify for the ballot. 229 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: But as I said, somewhere between fifteen to twenty percent 230 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: the signatures are generally rejected, so they have just enough 231 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: of a margin even if they get twenty percent thrown out. 232 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: If it's more than twenty percent, then we got to 233 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: start asking questions. John, maybe you can go down there 234 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: in your free time and watch them do this. I 235 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: don't I don't trust them. I mean, I just why 236 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: would you trust them? Usually government protects government, and this 237 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: is always Oh, they don't like recalls. Now, this guy's 238 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: not elected, he's appointed by the board of supervisors, this registar. 239 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: But most people in political office do not like recalls 240 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. It could affect them being recalled. Yeah, 241 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: and you know there's a lot of pressure to make 242 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: petitions disappear. All right, as soon as we return, you 243 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: will have a shot at some money. The final keyword 244 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: of the day to enter at the website is coming 245 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: up next that will talk about, of course, the shooting 246 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: and the news from Illinois today. Johnny Ken show CA 247 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: fight looks like it was a zoom court appearance for 248 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: this Bobby Cremo the third in Illinois as his Highland 249 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Park the scene of the mass shooting on July for 250 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: it that killed seven and injured over thirty. The news 251 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: that came out today is that he did confess. He 252 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: was read as rights, but he told them outright that 253 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: he did this. And we also learned that after he 254 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: escaped from the scene dressed as a female, he got 255 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: in his mother's car and he drove to Wisconsin and 256 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: he thought about attacking another Fourth of July parade in Madison. 257 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: That was apparently his idea, but he just did not 258 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: end up doing that, and he drove back to Illinois, 259 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: where they did catch him because by then they knew 260 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: who they were looking for. So if he's confession, are 261 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: they skipping a trial? Don't know? And they have executions 262 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: in Illinois, they I don't think, I mean, could we 263 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: get rid of him by Friday? Maybe? You know, I 264 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I wanted to say no, but I because 265 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: there's never been no recent that I can think of, 266 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: but I'd have to look that up as to whether 267 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: or not that's even possible. Records show he purchased four 268 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: weapons in twenty twenty, an a R fifteen type that 269 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: he used in the attack, and three others, including a shotgun, 270 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: and then in twenty one he bought a glock forty 271 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: three X pistol. Oh they abolished the death penalty two 272 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: years ago, ten years ago, ten years ten years ago. 273 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: Oh that's so. So this guy gets to live, isn't 274 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: that great? No, put him in Texas. Take him to Texas. Yeah? Really, YEA, 275 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: kidnap him, drag him into Texas. Oh, he's gonna live. 276 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: So the only right taxpayers are gonna have to pay 277 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: for this guy. He's a he's twenty two, twenty one, 278 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty one, so sixty years worth of meals 279 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: and toilet trees. This man Apparty was obsessed with the 280 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: number forty seven. As you know, there is an AK 281 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: forty seven assault rifle. The date this happened was the 282 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: reverse of that seven to four. He has a character 283 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: name in one of the games, he plays hit Man 284 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: Nice Agent forty seven. There are actually video clips of Cremo, 285 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: his avatar playing a game where he shoots from a rooftop. 286 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: It is, it is, It is just astonishing how completely 287 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: ill equipped we are to handle these these whack jobs. 288 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: We just stand and stare at him, and then after 289 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: he kills a whole bunch of people, we just we 290 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: parse all the clues. Oh, look, he was into the 291 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: number of forty seven, and then if you reverse the day, 292 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: it's seven four. Look at that. Oh that's why he 293 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 1: did it, because there's forty seven seven four. Again, I 294 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I mean, he put out so much, 295 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: so much indication that he if you were going to 296 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: look at ten thousand people, you pick him probably number one. 297 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: You know, I'll go through ten thousand people in Highland Park, 298 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: number one guy who would pull off a wild shooting, 299 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: like now what the population of Highland Park is, But 300 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: it's a pretty good guess he was the most dangerous 301 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: person out there that was probably going to do something 302 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: like and and and they all show it, and we 303 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: know the patterns Now for twenty five years we've seen 304 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: the same pattern. Isn't fascinating that we just stand and 305 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: stare And the guy was able to buy five guns, 306 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: and he was able to withstand. Two times the police 307 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: came over the house seriously because he was threatening to 308 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: kill himself and then threatening to kill everybody in this family. 309 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: And it's just absolutely fascinating that everybody, the whole the 310 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: whole infrastructure of the town, the police, the parents, the school, 311 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, the neighbors, the friends, everybody. All the people 312 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: who looked at his weirdo rap videos and his weirdo 313 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: writings and drawings and everything. Everybody just stared at it 314 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: all these years. I just, uh, well, you should see 315 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: there's a picture of the like the zoom of him 316 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: on the zoom. He does look like an ugly woman. 317 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: He really is like a slender, small guy, and he 318 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: has this weird long he looked like a wig on 319 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: his head. His father, of course, is under scrutiny, and 320 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: his father has his own attorney because his father sponsored 321 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: the shooter when he first to purchase a weapon, because 322 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: he was under the age of twenty one. And the 323 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: father's lawyer is saying, oh, the father didn't know about 324 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen allegation that he was going to stab 325 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: everybody in the family, and oh, oh, we don't know 326 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: anything about those knives. And it turns out those were 327 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: his father's knives. He's see, he's just they're all lying now, 328 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: they're all so ashamed and embarrassed by went on that 329 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: they're just lying. Oh I didn't know. Really, that's not possible. 330 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: In fact, the town's thirty thousand people and you're you're 331 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: running for marriage very big. You're in for mayor once. 332 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: So you're politically connected, right, you're probably one of the 333 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: two gooders in town. Probably joined all the clubs, right, 334 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: the Elks Club, of the Lions Club, or the Chamber 335 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: of Commerce. You know, he runs a business in town. 336 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: He probably goes to you know, the Chamber of Commerce 337 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: meetings of the local business association. Sure, he knows all 338 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: the all the cops, all the politicians, a councilman. When 339 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: you tell him, you tell me. I think that's why 340 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: he the kid got off. I think that's why the 341 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: kid was not arrested and prosecuted forty Yeah, I do 342 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: you think that's what happened. That they came to the 343 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: house because somebody called nine one one, and then everybody 344 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: decided after they got there. I'm talking about the family 345 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: and probably the father all just we'll take care of this. 346 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: There's there's almost thirty thousand people in Highland Park, so 347 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: that's pretty small. There is a twenty one year old 348 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: former co worker of Cremos that is telling the Daily 349 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: Mail that apparently he showed an interest in her and 350 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: she turned him down. We didn't date, but I know 351 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: he liked me. I told him though, we can be friends. 352 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: Then she deleted his messages and stopped talking to him. 353 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: And she thinks if she had reached out anymore, maybe 354 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: he wouldn't have killed people. No, she would have gotten 355 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: she would have gotten killed. She would have been the 356 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: first one she would have He would have stopped at 357 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: her house and killed her and then gone on to 358 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: the parade. None of these guys had girlfriends. Well, there's 359 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: the glass half empty. Why would the girl? Why would 360 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: any girl date a guy like that? He doesn't even 361 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: look like a guy, He doesn't even look human. He's 362 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: like this, he's like this. One of the things you're 363 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: interested in, Bobby, Oh, I love mass murders. I study 364 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: them all. You're gonna go to go out and play 365 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: video games? Where I should people spends all day on 366 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: video games, makes weird rap songs and videos about shootings, 367 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: makes drawings about shootings is online writing with other sick 368 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: I wanna be whack jobs talking discussing shootings, going through 369 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: the history of the shootings. What's your favorite shootings? How 370 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: about those Columbine guys, how about that guy in Texas? 371 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: How about the guy in Buffalo? This is all this 372 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: is all they do. Of course he doesn't and his 373 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: parents probably gave up years ago. The mother's insane. The 374 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: dad is insane too. The dad actually thinks it's a 375 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: good idea to get his kid of some kind of 376 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: gun license card, to to sponsor him so he could 377 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: buy guns. The dad was pretty excited, apparently on Twitter 378 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago over the Supreme Court ruling on guns. 379 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: So he's a big Second Amendment guy, so he probably 380 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: wanted his son to get one. I just I'm amazed 381 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: how much time is wasted with people arguing all this 382 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: Venushits like, well, we gotta have background checks. Well he 383 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: went through four background checks, passed them all. What's next, 384 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: a red flag laws? Okay, well they had strict red 385 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: flag laws. Well you know, we have to ban AAR fifteens. 386 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: You know what, in Highland Park, Illinois, they did ban 387 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: AAR fifteens. It was illegal for him to do that, 388 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: It was illegal, and he did it anyway. Yes, guess what. 389 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: Murders illegal, mass murders even more illegal. So he mass 390 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: murders illegal. Single murders are illegal. Having an AR fifteen 391 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: is illegal. He committed all the crimes anyway. In fact, 392 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, he shot another thirty five people on top 393 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: of the ones he killed. What what do people do? Instead? 394 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: He's walking around with all kinds of tattoos on his 395 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: base and on his neck and making the crazy videos. 396 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: And he's a rapper. He's a rapper. He was apparently 397 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: obsessed with a Hitman video game and the main character 398 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: is aging forty seven, So there you go. You know what, 399 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: even wore the same red tie and jacket. I'm sorry, 400 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: everybody's standing around Highland Park, Oh how could this happen here? 401 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: This happened here because you all didn't give a crap. 402 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: None of you ever expended any energy to intervene in 403 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: this guy's life. That's why this happened, because you all 404 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: stood there for twenty two years while this guy developed 405 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: into this crazed freak in front of your eyes. We 406 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: got more coming up, Johnny day after tomorrow, during this 407 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: very hour five o'clock we'll be joined by the Moist line.

The other big mass shooting that occurred 414 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: before the July fourth horror in Illinois was the Yuvaldi, 415 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: Texas mass shooting, which killed over it twenty people. The 416 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: news never gets any better, apparently. The latest report is 417 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: that a Yuvaldi City police officer armed with the rifle 418 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: spotted the shootering before he entered the school, had him 419 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: in his gun sights, but waited for permission. By the 420 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: time he made the call to get permission, the shooter 421 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: had already entered the school building. There you go. That's 422 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: another one. You got a guy with a gun heading 423 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: into a school, You shoot him. All there is to it. 424 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: Why is there so much fear? Can't be any good 425 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: reason he would go in there other than to kill people. 426 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: Why Why is there so much fear of taking action? 427 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: This is it was like a whole national malaise of 428 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: some sort. And by the way, he had already opened 429 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: fire outside the school in case you forgot, after he 430 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: crashed his car, he was shooting at some funeral homeworkers, 431 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: So he already So the cop already heard the gunshots. Yes, 432 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: it says here the officer would have heard gunshots and 433 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: reports of gunshots, all right, So I would have observed 434 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: an individual entering the school building armed with a rifle. 435 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: That would have been reasonable cause to take him out. 436 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: And he choked, is what he did. He called for permission. 437 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: He choked, He called for Do you know we did 438 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: that with Osama bin Laden been called for permission? Yes. 439 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: Clinton was told that you're talking about the original. The 440 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: original Assawa had been lading before he had the planes 441 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: crash on nine to eleven. Our military had him in 442 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: their sights and they wanted to get approval from the 443 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: White House. And Clinton started checking with lawyers, and the 444 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: lawyers said, well, maybe you shouldn't do that. It was 445 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: almost like an assassination. Maybe that isn't cool under international 446 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: agreements or protocol or whatever. So they pulled back and 447 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: the didn't kill them. No, I you have to be 448 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: decisive in life. You just have to take the risk 449 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: and do the right thing. But nobody was going to 450 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: charge that cop with a crime once they found out 451 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: that this guy had these massive plans. Meanwhile, in Russia, 452 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: the trial is underway for w NBA star Britney Griner. 453 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: Just before Russia invaded Ukraine, she was detained at an 454 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: airport near Moscow. They say that she had vape cartridges 455 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: containing hashish oil in her luggage. That can come with 456 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: up to ten years in prison. Did you see, John, 457 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: the statistic on the acquittal rate in the Russian courts, 458 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: it is one percent. She's I'd say, they just always 459 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: get the right guy, don't they. They're very good at that. Well, 460 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: she did have she did have the drugs on her. 461 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: You just can't do that. Well, I I you know, 462 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: I just don't have a lot of sympathy. How about 463 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: you don't bring the hashisha oil to Russia. I mean, 464 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't common sense tell you that? Would you pack that? 465 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: Who would who would pack drugs in the bag to Russia? 466 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: Well maybe she didn't consider that. How do you drugs drugs? 467 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't cocaine or heroin? How do you how do 468 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: you not consider it? I didn't even want an aspirin 469 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: when I go traveling to foreign countries. I'm serious, probably 470 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: traveled there before because she plays. It's part of the 471 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: teams they have to play in in Europe because they 472 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: don't make much in the w NDA. I am completely paranoid. 473 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: I know at airports, especially go to foreign airports, they 474 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: got all kinds of dogs. They have mean guys who 475 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: are not bound by the US Constitution. They can rip 476 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: open your bags, they can have your the dogs sniff 477 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: in your crotch. You know what they're gonna do, and 478 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: you've got nobody to appeal to. That's the thing you 479 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: get in a foreign country. People think if you call 480 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: the consulate or the embassy or something, you're going to 481 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: get help. All they can do is give you a 482 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: recommendation for an English speaking lawyer. They can't do anything 483 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: to get you out. Clearly, all right, this woman has 484 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: been begging and the Biden administration for months. It hasn't 485 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: gotten anywhere. Well, they think the best shot is to 486 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: make a prisoner swap. So that prisoner would likely be 487 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: the Merchant of Death. That's his name, his nickname. His 488 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: name is Victor A. Boot. He's a convicted arms dealer, 489 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: that might be who the Russians would be looking for 490 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: in a prisoner swap. We don't like doing this. It's 491 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: not all that common, but it does happen. Before. This 492 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,719 Speaker 1: man was apparently well, he was a translator in the 493 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Soviet Army, before he started an air freight company to 494 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: transported tens of millions of arms. He supplied his big 495 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: days from the nineteen nineties and early two thousands. I 496 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: sent it off to militias and rebels conflicts throughout the 497 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: really bad guy. Yeah, maybe it's a good idea also 498 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: to read a newspaper. If you see that Russia is 499 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: about to invade Ukraine and we're going to be involved, 500 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: don't expect kid glove treatment. I mean, we're trying to 501 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: help kill Russian soldiers by the thousands. We're spending tens 502 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars helping to kill Russian soldiers with 503 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: our equipment. We think you think Putin is really in 504 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: the mood to do us a favor and let a 505 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: basketball player out because because I see they had like 506 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: twelve hundred people sign some kind of petition, oh yeah, 507 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: asking for her release. Um and of course, and this 508 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: nation of woke, she's a black lesbian woman. Oh it 509 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: says he are NBC News, which is one of the wokest. 510 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: It was signed by women described in the letter as 511 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: intersectional and intergenerational. Right, the hell knows what that means. Interesting? 512 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: That okay? But but but seriously, how about you don't 513 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: bring drugs to foreign countries. How about you pay attention 514 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: to see if the country is involved in some sort 515 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: of massive international war where we'd be on the other 516 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: side ten years though, honestly, we locked people up in 517 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: this country for years and years for drug crimes. It's 518 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: hashish oil, it's not drug crimes. Well, that to hashis 519 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: here and doesn't judge this. Look, if if I'm going 520 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: to a country and they say salt and pepper are illegal, 521 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: I'm checking to make sure there aren't any stray packets 522 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: in my bag. You just you're because they're not rational people. 523 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: You go to Russia. Russia is the most oppressive society, 524 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: one of the most oppressive in the world. Can caffine, 525 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: They're not They're not going to Oh, that's okay, we understand. 526 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: It's just a chish oil. It's not a big deal, right, 527 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: It's not a big deal here there, it's a big deal. Well, 528 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: but is it or are they just doing this because 529 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: it's an American Well, go back to my point number two. 530 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the Russian convictions for Hashish 531 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: oil and see if they all got ten years. But 532 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: what's one I'm saying, though you can't trust foreign governments, 533 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: I never trust a single foreign government. I don't care 534 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: if I'm in Canada. I always assume that there's all 535 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: there's hundreds of laws that I don't understand, that are unfair, 536 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: will be arbitrarily enforced, that I have no rights because 537 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: I'm not a citizen in their country, and maybe the 538 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: citizens in that country don't have any rights. There are there. 539 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: There are countries I don't even want to visit, Like 540 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: I don't ever want to go to China anymore because 541 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: look at them. It's it's it's the government's crazy. All right? 542 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: We got more covered up, John and Ken Caffeine. All right. 543 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: The number we learned is seven hundred and seventeen thousand 544 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: signatures collected for the recall of La County DA George Gascone. 545 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: That's a good number. That's a pretty good cushion. They 546 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: needed five hundred and sixty seven thousand to qualify this 547 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: for an election. So we hope for the best, but 548 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to wait about thirty days to find out. 549 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: Maybe the first thing they need to find out is 550 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: whether or not they do the sampling. Well, they do 551 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: review every signature. Another long time aid to Old Joe 552 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: is leaving the White House Communications director, Kate Bettingfield, has 553 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: announced that she is leaving shortly. Oh no, she wants 554 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: to spend more time with her husband and young children. 555 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: Now you ever see that I have a husband, I 556 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: have young children. Really right standby, No one can criticize 557 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: you for that. I should spend more time. Hey, this 558 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: is a sinking ship, so maybe I should spend more 559 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: time with my what do you call him? Husband? You 560 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: have a name. She's been with Biden since he was 561 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: Obama's vice president, and she was a key strategist on 562 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: the twenty campaign. Zo the rats are, yeah, they are. 563 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: It's slowly, but surely he's I mean, I mean there's 564 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: no there's only uh, there's less than four months or 565 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: about four months now till election day and then after 566 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: that he's he's got zero power. He'll be a lame duck. 567 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: If if it's a wipeout, for the Democrats. You're right, yeah, well, 568 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: the Republicans are definitely going to get the House, so 569 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: that I know, I was gonna say what happens with 570 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: the Senate. I know there's not not every seat is 571 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: up for grabs. No, there, it's it's like I read 572 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: that there's a new Hampshire Democrat woman that's in trouble. Yeah, 573 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: it's it's iffy could go either way, but he's done. 574 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: He won't be able to get anything through Congress. And uh, 575 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna have all kinds of characters running against him 576 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: in the primaries. They're they're gonna take him on. This 577 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: is this is this is the gear you have to 578 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: run if you're ambitious to run for president. This is 579 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: the year on both sides because it could be wide 580 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: over USA. Today ran quite a story today. You remember, 581 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, there were 582 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: forms of protests that included women who cut their hair. 583 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 1: Remember that. Yeah, I enjoyed that they all went to 584 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: the hairdresser because they were so emotionally disturbed by Trump winning. 585 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut my hair. It's like, okay, well that'll 586 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: fix things. You'll show him that's not even virtue signaling, like, 587 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: what is that insanity? Oh, before I tell you that, 588 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: this story just flashed across Oh my god. The father 589 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: of the fourth of July parade killer in Highland Park, Yeah, 590 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: told The New York Post today that his son talked 591 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: about a mass shooting in Denmark the night before he 592 00:34:54,200 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: went on his own massacre. Okay, nothing roused Dad though, huh, 593 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: hey day, you need another five guns. We can go 594 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: down to the gun shop to Mark and get you 595 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 1: five more. Oh, here we go. The Sun said, Oh, yeah, 596 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: that guy's an idiot. But then the dad said, people 597 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: like that amp up the people that want to ban 598 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: all guns. That's how the conversation went. Oh. The Sun 599 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: added that, right, that's what I talked to him thirteen 600 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: hours before the massacre. That's why I guess I'm in shock. 601 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: Like did he have a psychiatric break or something you 602 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: haven't noticed. Did you see his face he was with 603 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: them the night before the shooting. Did you see any 604 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: of his rap videos? Did you look at the content 605 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 1: of anything that he produced online? It was all about 606 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: shooting people. Hello, anybody in there? He said, I've been 607 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: here all my life and I'm gonna stay here and 608 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: hold my head up high. I didn't do anything wrong. 609 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 1: That's what the fathers saying. Wow, I think we know 610 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: why I'm gonna hold my head up high. The story, 611 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention that, wow, bizarre.
