They held sex events, according to the prosecutors 9 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:30.399 all over the world. Jeffries and at least one associate 10 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.359 will be in federal court this afternoon. A third is 11 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.560 being transported from Florida to New York. 12 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.000 The campaign stops in Texas today. Former President Trump is 13 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.240 in Austin. He's going to be talking the border. He's 14 00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.799 going to be talking with Joe Rogan, Kamala Harris, the 15 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.840 Vice president is in Houston. She'll be talking about abortion 16 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.880 apparently and taking the stage with Beyonce and Willie Nelson. 17 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.039 The latest and apparently final New York Times Siena College 18 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.960 pool for this election shows that they're in a dead heat. 19 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.759 Forty eight forty eight. 20 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.439 That's the best funded poll. I believe. 21 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.280 Yeah, it gets good. 22 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.840 It gets good reviews, shall we say from pole watchers. 23 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.439 The results are now, obviously less than two weeks before 24 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.799 the election. In recent elections, Democrats have had an edge 25 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.560 in the popular vote even when they have lost the 26 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.560 Electoral College and the White House. 27 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.400 Therefore, so you could argue that a. 28 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.959 Forty eight to forty eight tie in the popular vote 29 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.480 would be an advantage for Trump going into November fifth. 30 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.560 We are spread pretty thin here in Los Angeles today. 31 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.760 We have what they call a heightened security atmosphere as 32 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:48.319 we are host of several high profile sporting events. Really 33 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.120 started last night with Thursday Night football, and hey, you're 34 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.000 a Rams fan. The Rams are back right at those 35 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.519 receivers back Matt Stafford looks lights out, able to knock 36 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.400 off the Vikings and just pick apart that defense. 37 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.159 Justin. Jefferson was very angry last night. 38 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:11.319 Yeah, I understand why so large crowds expected for the 39 00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.560 lakers second home game of the season at Crypto dot 40 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.960 Com Arena. Usc football takes on Rutgers at the Coliseum. 41 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.879 You've got the East LA Big High school football game 42 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.479 with Garfield and Roosevelt halftime concert by Black Eyed Peas 43 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:28.159 by the way. 44 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.639 At so Far Yeah, at the high school football game. 45 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.560 Yeah, and then of course the biggest one game one 46 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.280 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium. Mayor Karen bassaid 47 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.479 that she activated the city's emergency Response center to ensure 48 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:45.719 a coordinated effort. 49 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.560 I did like watching some of that news conference that 50 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.240 she did yesterday from City Hall, just because she was 51 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.960 talking about how she's got it, she knows this is coming, 52 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:57.439 She's got to do this sort of a thing. But 53 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.919 she said, right after they won the championship Series over 54 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.000 the Mets, she immediately called for this to be set up, 55 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.719 knowing that this was going to be a big day 56 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.159 in LA just because of the everything else that was 57 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:12.560 going on. 58 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.840 So they say, if you're headed to the World Series. 59 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.400 Pack your patients and dress warmly, but also bring a sweater. 60 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.120 Metro's Dodger Stadium Express ferries fans up to the ballpark 61 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.599 from Union Station and from the Harbor Gateway transit Center. 62 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:32.000 They said you can get past all of the car 63 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.879 traffic on sud Set thanks to their own dedicated laye there. 64 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.080 The service also runs after the game. 65 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.800 That sounds nice. There's some live traffic noise. 66 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:46.400 Sounds like traffic. 67 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.800 Oh, that's gonna be a lot of honking. Speaking of honks, 68 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.479 So did you see the picture. I don't know if 69 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.759 this is just the digital LA Times story on this event, 70 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.000 this mass security event or security test pre Olympic security test, 71 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.240 but the picture that they chose to print, at least 72 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:13.080 on the print edition of the story is from Dodger 73 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.879 Stadium in twenty twenty I'm assuming or twenty twenty one. 74 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.240 Everyone's wearing masks and it's a Giants game. Yeah, and 75 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.160 it's this odd picture of the ground of just like 76 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.959 an officer standing outside of one of the gates of 77 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.600 Dodger Stadium and everyone's in masks and it's Giants fans. 78 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.399 Why would you ever choose this picture to go along 79 00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:35.079 with this story? 80 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.959 Do you think the people who are writing the stories 81 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.240 at the LA Times are big Dodgers fans outside of 82 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:42.839 the guys from. 83 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:43.519 The sports past. 84 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.519 I don't think you have to be a big Dodger fan. 85 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.879 I think you just have to have something bigger than 86 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:49.959 a brain stem to not choose this picture. 87 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.120 I will say this, I know a lot of people 88 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.600 who are not sports fans. I mean, couldn't tell you 89 00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.519 the first thing about sports, and that it's the kind 90 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:01.759 of picture that they would choose. 91 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.959 Okay. Also, half of this article is about the altercations 92 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:15.199 at Dodgers games. Brian Stowe is mentioned, Okay, several fights. 93 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.399 Half the story three pages is about the security at 94 00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:24.600 Dodger Stadium. If I'm paying fifteen hundred dollars for my 95 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.560 World Series ticket, I'm not gonna get wasted off twenty 96 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.040 five dollars beers and get into a fight. That's not 97 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.040 what this crowd is. When they say pre Olympic security tests, 98 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.680 they mean security like for a UTA bomber or what 99 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:43.759 have you, not a drunken guy from East LA who's 100 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.120 gonna pick a fight with a Yankees fight. It could 101 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.319 be Sonart, it could be any of these. 102 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.399 What if it's Manhattan Beach, That's. 103 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.519 Not what it is. Actually, that probably is what it is. 104 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.600 Hey, Gary Channon, love you guys. 105 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.439 You guys are awesome. 106 00:05:58.199 --> 00:05:58.920 Go Dodgers. 107 00:05:58.959 --> 00:05:59.800 Got to start off with that. 108 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.720 But this is SoSE from Lakewood. 109 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.000 I just want to say that I'm on the one 110 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.120 ten freeway at the transition of the ninety one, heading 111 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.040 towards downtown. 112 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.040 LA, and it's already bumper to bumper. 113 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.240 Oh, I'm probably doing two. 114 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.959 Miles an hour two Most of the time my foot's 115 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:17.399 on the break. 116 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.160 I hope everybody gets to their destination safely. 117 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.639 Go Dodgers and let me guys. 118 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.399 Thank you, go blue out today. Let us know about 119 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.000 your traffic situation today, and are you brave enough to 120 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:33.800 drive a stick in traffic? I miss a manual transmission too. 121 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:35.759 I have read an article I think it was in 122 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.560 The Atlantic this week, and I almost put it in 123 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.079 the show at some point, but then I realized that 124 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.240 this is my own personal bugaboo. It's called or. The 125 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.879 headline was the death of parallel parking, and like I 126 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.879 always thought that was like one of the major things 127 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.319 you need to know how to parallel park. And it's 128 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.720 growing up in the city and stuff like that, driving 129 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.600 a stick on hills and stuff like that. Parallel parking. 130 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.920 These are things that are going away. 131 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.240 It's why we're softening. 132 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.879 That's why we're softening. It's the automatic transmission. Real Americans 133 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.800 know how to parallel park right stiction and roll down 134 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.639 their window okay with the crank easy. 135 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.839 Presidential elections get plenty of people upset. This may be 136 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.360 one of the most nerve wracking elections we've seen in 137 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.439 a very long time. More than sixty percent of Americans 138 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.680 in a new poll say that their mental health has 139 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:36.079 been slightly, moderately or significantly impacted by the upcoming election. 140 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.920 Forty six percent say they have anxiety, thirty seven percent 141 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.519 say they're stressed out, thirty one percent say they experience fear, 142 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:49.319 and they think about the upcoming election. 143 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.480 I feel all of those things when it comes to 144 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.360 the fact that Tua is going to start for Miami 145 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.199 this Weekend's. 146 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.040 That will generate tensiinge. 147 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.480 And tension, and is what I feel. Two has been 148 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.040 cleared to play against the Cardinals on Sunday, first start 149 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.079 since being concussed in Week two, that terrifying concussion that 150 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:13.879 we saw. They say he has met with numerous medical 151 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.920 experts who deemed it safe for him to play football again. 152 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:22.439 I say he was examined yesterday by an independent neurological consultant. 153 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.360 Doctor Nick Riviera from The Simpsons. 154 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:27.120 It was probably one of those It's like an expert 155 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.360 witnesses at a trial. You know, you pay him enough, 156 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.200 they'll tell you whatever you want to hear. There is 157 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:36.440 a an awful story out of Washington State you may 158 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.519 remember we talked about it earlier. A fifteen year old 159 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:42.799 boy charged with the murder of his parents and three 160 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:46.600 of his siblings this week in the area called Falls City. 161 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.240 It's east of Seattle as you head towards say snow 162 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.080 Qualmy Pass. It's outpasted Issaquah, very nice, mostly rural setting, 163 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.840 and they live on this place called Lake Alice with 164 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.919 you know, multi million dollar homes. 165 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.200 Their house was beautiful. I think dad was an engineer, 166 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.159 Mom was a nurse. Prosecutor said that this fifteen year 167 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.320 old kid called nine one one at about five in 168 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.279 the morning and said that his younger thirteen year old 169 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:21.480 brother had killed the family and himself because the thirteen 170 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.000 year old was caught looking at pornography. 171 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:24.919 Wow. 172 00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.279 There were other little kids like seven, I believe, and nine. 173 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.039 But an eleven year. 174 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:37.159 Old sister was shot twice, survived, was able to escape 175 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.000 the house, and at about the same time that the 176 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.000 fifteen year old called nine one one to lie about 177 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.600 what happened, the eleven year old had made it to 178 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.159 a neighbor's house, and the neighbor was able to call 179 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.039 nine one one and explain what happened. 180 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:53.559 What a horrific story. It's all the way around. 181 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.039 For some reason, the fifteen year old also had to 182 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.440 be told by the judge that they he could not 183 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.600 have contact with his little sister, which I don't know 184 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.320 if that was just a common thing, but that became 185 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.679 one of the headlines that came out of that story 186 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:10.240 that the judge told him specifically not to contact his sisters. 187 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:11.879 They say that with all of those. 188 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.679 That would make sense, And what kind of contact would 189 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:14.720 he have. I mean, he's gonna be. 190 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.320 In and he's a psychopath. Yeah, I mean to be 191 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.519 fifteen and come up with that story and slaughter your 192 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:22.360 family like that. 193 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.440 The eleven year old said they had always had weapons 194 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.399 in the home and they were very careful with them, 195 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.240 that they all knew how to shoot, but that the 196 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.440 fifteen year old was the only one of the kids 197 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.720 who had the combination to the gun safe to get 198 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:39.360 access to them. 199 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.720 Well, that is wild, is an awful story. Well, we 200 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.879 saw this hail Mary being launched for quite some time. 201 00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.919 George Gascone said it himself, the habeas petition did not 202 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:55.720 need to be dealt with until late November, but you 203 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.519 know what happens before late November. 204 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:00.080 November fifth comes to November. 205 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.919 Fifth comes in early November, and he wanted to milk 206 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.919 the publicity cycle of this thing leading up to the election, 207 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.840 and so he decided to play politics with two spoiled, 208 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.600 entitled kids who killed their parents in nineteen eighty nine. 209 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.240 I believe that they have paid their debt to society, 210 00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:26.159 and the system provides a vehicle for their case to 211 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:27.480 be reviewed. 212 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.919 By a parole bar and the parole. 213 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:36.120 Concurs with my assessment, and it will be their decision. 214 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.600 They will be released accordingly. 215 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:41.480 Of course, nobody, somebody who has never tried a case 216 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.559 does not understand the importance of evidence. 217 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.919 Well, there's that to your point about this being clearly 218 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:55.039 a re election tool, because he's being outraised by Nathan 219 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.559 Hockman somewhere like ten to one in terms of the 220 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.120 money falling into their campaign coffers. He was asked by 221 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:06.679 a reporter yesterday at this news conference about re election 222 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.360 and Gascon loses his mind in the middle of this question. 223 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.679 I don't believe that the manslaughter would have been the 224 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.919 appropriate charge. Give him the premeditation that was involved in 225 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:20.320 the murders. I believe that this were clearly murders that 226 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.080 were premeditated now the motivation, that's where you know, the 227 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:25.960 differences of opinion come up. But I don't think it 228 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.960 will be appropriate to all the way down to man'slaughter, 229 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.639 for every election. Would you please stop. I am not 230 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:36.360 going to talk about reelection. Okay, I will talk later. 231 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.279 Yeah, that's nothing to do with it. 232 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.960 I'm sorry you're interrupted, sir. 233 00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:45.600 So my god, not protest too much. 234 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.639 Yeah, there's a staff member behind him, one of the 235 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:51.159 DA's office workers that was there, and tells the reporter, 236 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.440 I wish I knew who it was. Something like that's 237 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.240 in the inappropriate question. That is entirely appropriate. 238 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:57.600 It is. 239 00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.600 The timing of this is. 240 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:05.120 So us it's it's pretty ridiculous. The last piece is 241 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:06.279 sound from Gascoon. 242 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.039 I have to tell you that, after a very careful 243 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.360 review of all the arguments that were made for people 244 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.840 on both sides of this equation, I came to a 245 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:23.200 place where I believe that under the law, resentencing is appropriate, 246 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.799 and I am going to recommend that to a court tomorrow. 247 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:32.639 There's all of these conspiracy theorists that are getting so 248 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.480 much attention now because of the way the podcast game works. 249 00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:39.559 Let's pick a case dissected and come up with a 250 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.799 different alternative ending and then sell you on that how 251 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.919 to do with the evidence, forget about all the evidence. 252 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:53.399 I want to pedal my conspiracy theory. 253 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.279 And some of them are very entertaining. Sure I leave 254 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.879 it at that, but it is entertainment. The idea then 255 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.879 that you And again not to say that some of 256 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:10.399 these podcasts aren't well researched, but you as a podcaster, 257 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.039 doing better research than. 258 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:19.960 Investigators, detectives, prosecutors, jurors that came to their own conclusions. 259 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.840 But there are cases listen and you bring that up, 260 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.639 and I think of your own backyard podcast, the one 261 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.799 about the Kristen Smart murder in. 262 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.320 Sam Paul Flora is when it happens. 263 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.120 Which is weird, and I don't know why. I mean, 264 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.279 it doesn't You're right, it doesn't change. Most of the 265 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.919 detectives and investigators that were involved in that case had 266 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:46.240 their belief that it was Paul Flora's all along and 267 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.440 that his dad probably helped him. But they couldn't put 268 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:54.120 those pieces together. And not that the podcast put those 269 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.559 pieces together. It just kind of filled in some of 270 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:57.840 the low spots. 271 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:01.480 For Sometimes more attention to cold cases is a good 272 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.480 thing if you stick to the evidence, right. There's so 273 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.960 many of these that do not stick to the evidence. 274 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.919 Yeah, and this is one of those cases. Now, Kitty 275 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.960 Menendez was not. 276 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:18.320 The most likely thing. Oukham's razor right, it's the most 277 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.240 likely thing. There was mountains of evidence that these kids 278 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:25.519 were spoiled brats and that the gravy train was was done. 279 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.000 The parents were going to cut them off and they 280 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.480 wouldn't be able to live their lavish lifestyle. They didn't 281 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.320 want to go to work. They were flunkies at school 282 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.000 and at jobs, and they had no path towards living 283 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.519 the lifestyle that they were living and that they wanted, 284 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.480 and they were frustrated, and they it was more than premeditated. 285 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.320 It was months. This molestation story is so far fetched 286 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:51.960 and so not the likeliest thing that happened. The fact 287 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.879 that a father would molest his own sons for decades 288 00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.840 is insanity. 289 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:01.279 The person I think that's got the most attention is 290 00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:05.320 Kitty Menendez's brother. He has not been speaking to the media, 291 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.159 but his attorney has. Her name is Kathy Katie, and 292 00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:13.120 she said, among other things, this is exactly what George 293 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:15.919 Gascon does and what his pattern has been, which is 294 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.240 ignoring the victims of crime. 295 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.519 Despite repeated requests to mister Gascon that he meet with 296 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.919 my client so that he could hear both sides of 297 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.279 the argument, he has never done so. He has never 298 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:32.120 responded to mister Anderson. He has not listened to mister Anderson. 299 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.159 He has been ignoring mister Anderson, and that, unfortunately, is 300 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.600 what he does whenever he doesn't like people who have 301 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:39.039 opinions who go against him. 302 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.679 And to our point at last hour, you have to 303 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.159 have the conversation, even if you don't believe in what 304 00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:46.399 the other person's saying, be open to the conversation. 305 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.799 She was on Fox this morning. 306 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.799 I think that the polls right now show him being 307 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.360 down thirty points, so it's pretty clear that he will lose. 308 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.159 But it's also clear he hasn't gotten any money. He 309 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.840 hasn't been able to raise any money, so holding press 310 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:05.559 conferences are essentially free media for him to get his 311 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:07.480 face in front of the viewers. And I think that 312 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.960 it was a last minute grab on his part to 313 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.480 try to get his face in front of the viewers, 314 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:14.759 remind people of who he is, try to show that 315 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:19.559 he's whatever a sympathetic guy. I can't begin to get 316 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:20.359 into his mind. 317 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:22.079 It's uh, Kathy, I want to play it. 318 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:28.160 Kathleen Katie is a retired LA DA. She is somebody 319 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.319 who works pro bono for victims. She's the one who 320 00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.400 will go to these parole hearings when Gascon came in 321 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:38.799 and told his attorneys they were no longer able to 322 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.799 go to parole hearings to fight to keep people in prison, 323 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.400 no longer able to go to those hearings and say, 324 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.279 these are the facts of the case. This woman next 325 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.240 to me, her son was murdered, and this is what happened, 326 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.000 and that's why we need to keep this murderer behind bars. Now, 327 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.359 it's that very mother who has to go into these 328 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:01.880 parole hearings and make the case for keeping her son's 329 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.480 murderer in prison. Kathleen Katie is one of those people 330 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.640 who has gone to these parole hearings to avoid that 331 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.519 from happening. Because Gascone doesn't care about crime victims or 332 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:13.160 their families. 333 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.319 I remember, the key piece of evidence that Gascone is 334 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.079 referring to when he talks about he wants to have 335 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.039 these guys resentenced is this letter that one of the 336 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:27.759 brothers allegedly wrote to a cousin describing abuse, described ongoing abuse, etc. 337 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:32.240 The letter never appeared. The letter appeared during the first trials. 338 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.319 The letter appeared in twenty fifteen. Right where did the 339 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:38.000 letter come from? Well, and that's what she said earlier today. 340 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.079 I have received a number of emails and information that 341 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.480 would seem to indicate that the evidence that the Menendez 342 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:50.319 brothers are trying to put forward now may not be true. 343 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:52.160 That's all she says. 344 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.240 I mean, but there's clearly something to be said about 345 00:18:55.240 --> 00:19:00.519 her having represented Kitty Menendez's brother and that of the 346 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.119 family that believes these guys are guilty of sin. 347 00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.920 And also go back in history, do your own research. 348 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.359 It's worth a google to find out the craze that 349 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:13.160 was going on in the late eighties about kids being 350 00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:17.000 molested and abused. It was very in It was a 351 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:21.480 very in craze and concern that was going on. The 352 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.960 McMartin trial was one of the examples of this. And 353 00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.960 it's just all way too convenient that they were looking 354 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.960 for a way to get away with murder and this 355 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:32.039 is what they landed on. 356 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.920 Earlier, we talked about this statement from jd. 357 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:37.440 Vance. 358 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.400 He was at a News Nation town hall last night 359 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:44.559 with Chris Cuomo and was asked about what he believed 360 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.319 was the biggest threat to democracy. He went on to 361 00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:50.559 say censorship, but added this line, which I thought was 362 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:51.599 important for all of us. 363 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.640 Don't cast aside family members in lifelong friendships. Politics is 364 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.880 not worth it. And I think we follow that principle 365 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.000 hill of the divide in this country. 366 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.759 I was curious if this has happened to people. I mean, yeah, 367 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:06.880 and if you don't have to tell me what side 368 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:08.599 you're on or who your vote doesn't matter, but you 369 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:13.400 just if there's a disagreement about politics that has upended 370 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.960 relationships that you have, or just. 371 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.400 Kept you from maybe reaching out and talking to a 372 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:20.160 friend or a family member, especially this time of year 373 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:21.039 as we get closer to the. 374 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:23.559 Election, because you know politics is going to come up. 375 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.480 You don't want to have that conversation. Exactly less than 376 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.119 two weeks before election day, we are seeing the campaigns 377 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:31.440 go through Texas. 378 00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:31.880 Today. 379 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:35.799 Vice President Harris is in Houston, former President Trump is 380 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:40.880 in Austin. NBC News shows they're tracking shows almost thirty 381 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.400 three million people have already voted in this election, either 382 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:49.559 through mail in ballots or early in person voting. This 383 00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:54.400 story actually came out. There are two things that prompted 384 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.920 me to think about this today. Number one was this 385 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:59.640 study that came out that said over sixty percent of 386 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.119 a man can say that this election has damaged their 387 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.160 mental health to some degree. Forty six percent say they 388 00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.279 have feelings of anxiety, thirty seven percent say they're stressed out, 389 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:14.319 thirty one percent experiencing fear. And this statement from jd 390 00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:18.400 Vance from yesterday in the town hall meeting that he 391 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.480 was doing on News Nation, and we can't This is 392 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.640 my most important advice. 393 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.480 Whether you vote for me, whether you vote for Donald Trump, 394 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:29.240 whether you vote for Kamala Harris, don't cast aside family 395 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.359 members in lifelong friendships. Politics is not worth it. And 396 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.119 I think we follow that principle will hill of the 397 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:35.799 divide in this country. 398 00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.880 And we've we've heard it before. 399 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:44.240 We've heard from other politicians, other people, from family members, 400 00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.599 from pastors, from friends, whatever. Do not let this be 401 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:52.240
