The 4 00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.000 convention is over, the coming out party is over. Now 5 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.760 as the dust settles, we'll find out what the polling 6 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.679 tells us. Do I believe the polling, Absolutely not. We 7 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:22.640 were screwed over in twenty sixteen, haven't believed them since. 8 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.719 But I am interested just to see what the information says. 9 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.239 And it's expected that Kamala Harris and Tim Walls would 10 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.159 get a bump whatever that is, three points five points? 11 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.399 Does that when the dust settles next week, after this 12 00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.520 is all over, I mean the RNC you thought Trump 13 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.320 was unbeatable, right. 14 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.359 He was, I mean, at the US point he was. 15 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.280 But then a couple of days go by, and the 16 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.119 nature of the news cycle right now is so crazy. 17 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:51.000 It's so quick. 18 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.079 We're so inundated with information from all parts of life, 19 00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.719 pop culture, entertainment, politics, news, We're inundated with all these alerts. 20 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:01.640 So it's fleeting. 21 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.439 It's very fleeting that the power you have today could 22 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:05.799 be completely gone by tomorrow. 23 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.120 My wife refers to it as alarm fatigue, I think 24 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:13.200 is what she said. I happen to be talking about 25 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.519 the sirens. I mean the sirens around our hotel were biquit. 26 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.599 I mean all week they were non stop. 27 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:19.319 That's a good point. 28 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.280 When when I heard the first siren when we were there, 29 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.359 I was like, oh, let's settle about. By the time 30 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.439 we left, it was just like, I don't even flinch 31 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:27.719 for a siren because they were everywhere, so. 32 00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.159 Likely that we're very numb to. 33 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.400 And I think that explains kind of I mean, you 34 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.319 and I our fatigue of doing this all week. There's 35 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.439 a fatigue to it because we are inundated with it. 36 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:43.400 I mean it's constant now, granted we're here, and that's 37 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.280 obviously the point of why we did this here this 38 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.359 week was to bring the biggest story, but it was. 39 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.480 It is something to kind of keep in mind that 40 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.840 you can get numb to whatever's going on. 41 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.319 It also highlights how easy it is to be sucked 42 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.640 in to the echo chamber, like if you're a Democrat 43 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.280 or if you're a Republican and you're only reading your own. 44 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.439 Medicine, Yeah, you get stuck in the album. 45 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.000 You get stuck in that so a couple of stories. 46 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.039 In terms of other stories that are going on, at 47 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.240 least five members of the Secret Service have been placed 48 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.719 on administrative leave after the assassination attempt against former President 49 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.800 Trump in Pennsylvania. One member of the Personal Protective Team 50 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:31.599 and four members of the Secret Services Pittsburgh Field Office, 51 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.639 including the Special Agent in charge, have been placed on leave. 52 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.560 Federal agents raided the homes of Orange County Supervisor Andrew 53 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.919 Doe and his daughter an investigation into the alleged improper 54 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.240 use of taxpayer money. They had at least five locations 55 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.879 that they went into, including several homes and a restaurant, 56 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.840 searched in connection with the allegations that were made against 57 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.319 a local nonprofit, the Viet America Society, in a lawsuit 58 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.360 that was brought by the county list. 59 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.120 So we're talking about JD Van's awkward trip to the 60 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:04.560 donut shop, our friend general. The awkwardness of JD. Vance 61 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.599 at the donut shop trying to act like a regular 62 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.719 member of society. It reminds me of a nineteen year 63 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.759 old on a college trip to Haiti trying to act 64 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.520 like a necessary member of the Peace Corps.

Don't 197 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.799 let the law interfere with that. 198 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.679 He's too happy about that. 199 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.960 So there was a column the La Times today and 200 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.679 this was the headline, Kamala Harris faced a high bar 201 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.879 in convention speech. She soared past it, to which I say, 202 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.399 did we watch the same speech? It was fine, it 203 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.159 was safe, It was calculated. It was not Reagan, It 204 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.879 was not Margaret Margaret Thatcher. It was not soaring past 205 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.799 any sort of bar. It was at the bar, or 206 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.440 maybe a little bit below. It was not personalized. It 207 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:51.679 was not a human speech. 208 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:56.159 It was political gobblybook. We are expecting at the top 209 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.919 of the hour, Robert F. Kennedy Junior to drop out, 210 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.200 to drop his in dependent presidential race campaign, I should say, 211 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.919 And then the other expectation is that he would likely 212 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.600 endorse Donald Trump. Now, Nicole Shanahan is his vice presidential 213 00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.000 running mate, and she when we talked about I believe 214 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.000 it was Wednesday, the first time she had said something 215 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.440 on a podcast about sort of dispelling the rumors that 216 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.960 somehow they went to the Harris campaign and were begging 217 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.399 for a cabinet position or the same thing with the 218 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.320 with the Trump campaign. So we knew that this was 219 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.559 going to happen. We knew that the writing was on 220 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.960 the wall for them. Does that come out if it's 221 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.639 not true? Because he denied both of those instances. It's like, 222 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.120 how does that come out if we didn't make that call. 223 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.159 My understanding is that he he has reached out to 224 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:46.120 both campaigns, but not in a way to say I 225 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:47.960 want a cabinet position. 226 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:48.360 Or any sort of that. 227 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.039 Like what he said, Why is he reaching out? 228 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.840 Well, part of the reason is he felt like he 229 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:56.039 was he was kept out of the debates for one thing, although. 230 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.000 The other campaign no power in that, not. 231 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.279 Necessarily, but they could have also put pressure on CNN, 232 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.720 for example, when they did the debate in June, they 233 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:07.559 could have put pressure on the network to include Robert Kens. 234 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.159 Did he reach around and circle back? 235 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.000 I doubt it, but we'll say. 236 00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:16.320 Nicole Shanahan tweeted, my old DEM buddies have been flooding 237 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.159 me with frantic calls, texts, and emails. Unlike Roe, I 238 00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.919 wouldn't dream of airing those private conversations publicly. I think 239 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.120 she refers to Roe Conna there. I'm not quite sure, 240 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:29.440 but the message is clear. They're terrified of the idea 241 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.200 of our movement joining forces with Donald Trump. And when 242 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.399 I point out with the Democratic Party and their super 243 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:38.480 packs have done to sabotage, sabotage our campaign, their response 244 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.799 is always quote, but Trump is worse. Here's an idea. 245 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:46.039 Stop suing us, let us debate, quit rigging the media 246 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.080 and the polls. It's a simple formula of people, get 247 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.639 with it. She also in a podcast, interviewed Paul Bond, 248 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.799 longtime writer for Newsweek Vanity Fair I believe, and he 249 00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:02.200 said that there was clearly an effort to keep stories 250 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:03.960 about Kennedy out of the meeting. 251 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:06.759 The story never ran. They wouldn't allow to run. And 252 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.159 Bobby said to me, after talking to me for an hour, 253 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.399 he said, I said, you know, you know, thanks a lot. 254 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:15.919 I mean, you don't even know me. We talked for 255 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:20.320 an hour. You're a busy guy, he said, yeah. And this, 256 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.799 this story will never run. So he predicted it, and 257 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.320 which made me want to report on him even more 258 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.960 because he confirmed my suspicions that reporters are talking to him, 259 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:33.720 but they're not getting their stories published. 260 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:34.639 He's not getting on air. 261 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.039 I just was on the phone this morning with this 262 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:42.000 young journalist, bright eyed, who's been following our campaign NonStop. 263 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.840 He knows all the details, but he hasn't been allowed 264 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.200 to report on it. This is Will McDuffie at ABC. 265 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:49.279 Oh very good again. 266 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.679 That's Nicole Shanahan on her podcast this morning with that 267 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:53.440 longtime writer. 268 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.840 Just did he do like a Kennedy's speech accent my 269 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.720 my speech? My speech isn't all but fun of the voice, 270 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.039 not make fun of it, but kind of mimic it. 271 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.799 You mean when he was saying that it's not gonna 272 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.039 that the story's not gonna air. 273 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.600 Yeah, yeah, and this this story will. 274 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.679 Never run like the Lilt the Little Okay doing the 275 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.840 show again from Chicago or not at the United Center 276 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:21.120 this time when they shut it down, they shut it down. 277 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:23.639 The inside of the arena is still lit up. 278 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.200 You could see some of the TV stations, the cable 279 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:29.840 channels that were still doing their they're using their sets, 280 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.879 utilizing their sets. But everything else around the United Center 281 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:36.679 is completely torn up. Once they get that the balloon 282 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.080 drop and everything. I mean, they had the chairs off 283 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.559 of the floor within probably thirty or forty five minutes 284 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.039 of the Vice President finishing her speech last week. 285 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:51.440 OD you admittion socialists. You two are very fine at 286 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:59.919 your socialism. Not covering the Republicans, but you're covering the dims. 287 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.759 Bah, good job. 288 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.960 We told you repeatedly we wanted to go to the RNC. 289 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.240 We asked for it, we begged for it. They didn't 290 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.159 get their act together at the station until all hell 291 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.720 broke loose following that convention and said, Okay, we've got 292 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.559 to go to the next one. 293 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.639 And we knew this is not a choice. 294 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.559 And we knew that that was going to be a concern. 295 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.279 I mean, we knew that people were going to think 296 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.320 that that's you know, that that was motivation. 297 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:24.840 Of these people. 298 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.399 We don't choose that's the better way to put it. 299 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.720 Although I did find people I liked this week. 300 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.720 You know, Antonio Viragosa sounded smarter than he's ever sounded. 301 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.960 I was talking my husband about this. 302 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.600 I'm like, I covered him when I was a reporter, 303 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.399 and maybe it's because he was mayor of LA and 304 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.840 there was a lot going on and he kind of 305 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.200 fell into the whole celebrity aspect of it and he 306 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:52.360 wasn't focused and so when every would hold a pressI availability, 307 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.919 it would be like, uh, you know, you've heard it 308 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.519 all on Johnny Ken, right, But he was hyper focused. 309 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.120 When we spoke to him yesterday, he was on point, 310 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:04.159 he was making sense, and he had clear I mean, 311 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.519 I don't agree with everything, but he was likable. 312 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.159 He wasn't swarmy to me the way that he used 313 00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:10.360 to be. 314 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.960 And it's funny because we I mean we talked with him, 315 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.320 kind of asked him about Gavin Newsom because he referred 316 00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.480 to having met with Gavin, and Gavin Newsom actually asked 317 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.320 him to be I think he said it was the 318 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.799 infrastructures are I don't remember exactly what the position was called, 319 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.120 but he was. So he's worked with Gavin Newsom before, 320 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.000 and we were in our minds kind of comparing the two. 321 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.039 Where again, yet you don't I don't know. I don't 322 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.120 know any political stance that that Antonio Vierra Gosa has 323 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.519 that I agree with. But he's a guy that I 324 00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.120 could sit there and have the at least have those conversations. 325 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.039 But he made sense. 326 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.600 Like we asked him about George Gascone and he was like, 327 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.559 we've got to we've got to clean this up. Yeah, 328 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.159 He's like, I'm not about throwing homeless people in prison, 329 00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:53.840 but we've got to do something. And I think that's 330 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:55.919 the opinion of most reasonable people. 331 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.360 Yeah, and he said, you. 332 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:01.399 Know, he admitted that California isn't a bad spot. San Francisco, La. 333 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.960 They're unrecognizable from fifteen twenty years ago. 334 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:09.080 We talked a lot about the Chris Watts case from 335 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.759 August of twenty eighteen. 336 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:11.559 It's horrible. 337 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.919 He was accused of killing his wife, Shannon, and a 338 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:23.080 couple of daughters, and his was his image was The 339 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.360 images I should say that stick in my mind about 340 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.080 him are the bodycam footage of the police officers that 341 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.159 came into the house the day after they were reported missing, 342 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:37.279 and he just seemed so calm, and he had just 343 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:39.440 killed three people that were the closest. 344 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.200 It was so reminiscent of Scott Peterson. And I started 345 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:47.480 to watch that Peacock documentary yesterday about Scott Peterson talking 346 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.759 from jail, and I turned it off within maybe four 347 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.080 and a half minutes when he started talking because he 348 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.320 doesn't get he doesn't get to talk about his dead 349 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.120 wife and child Connor. He doesn't get to like, why 350 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:03.559 are we giving him a platform? It rubs me the 351 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.359 wrong way. And Chris Watts was exactly And you know, 352 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.880 Mark gerragis said when Chris, when Scott Peterson was arrested, well, 353 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.279 there's no playbook for grief. You know, you don't know 354 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.960 how you're going to respond, And this is the way 355 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.200 Scott responded. No, this is a way a sociopath who 356 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.279 murders their wife because they're in an affair, that's how 357 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.599 they behave right now, we have a pattern of behavior. 358 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:25.519 In this case. 359 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:29.759 Some newly revealed letters show that Chris Watts used to 360 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.759 say that his wife was a control freak and that 361 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:38.400 he only cheated on her with his mistress because the 362 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:43.319 mistress was everything the wife wasn't like with me. The 363 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:45.960 New York Post had several handwritten notes from this guy 364 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.480 serving a life sentence of course at a Dodge correctional 365 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.839 institution in Wisconsin for these murders. He said he admitted 366 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.519 to strangling Shannon in their Colorado home August to twenty eighteen, 367 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.880 drove her body to a job site at the oil 368 00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.680 company where he worked, and then dumped her. Two daughters 369 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.440 were in his truck, said that they he killed them 370 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.680 and then stashed their bodies in oil drums, and he 371 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.480 said the motive was so that he could be with 372 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.440 his mistress, Nicole he pleaded guilty sentence to life in prison. 373 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.200 He does he think that this is a legitimate defense? 374 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.319 Like does he? 375 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.759 Is he that tone deaf that he thinks that like 376 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:25.839 this mistress tempted him and led him to kill his wife. 377 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.680 And it's his wife's fault too because she's so controlling 378 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.119 and his mistress was letting him do all the things 379 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.079 that his wife didn't. Well, I don't mean sexually, he 380 00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:38.160 said in his statement.
