And then our three we do a 12 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.719 deep dive with a person or persons of interest. We 13 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.840 are more or less on point with that to day. 14 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.920 You're welcome in every hour at eight hundred and nine 15 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.359 to oh fifteen eighty, eight hundred nine two oh fifteen eighty. 16 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.520 I'd like to throw a little well being in our Wednesday. 17 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.240 So our three we'll be talking with doctor Noel Reed. 18 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.920 She is an MD in an interness, but she's also 19 00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.239 a doctor to the staris a dancing doctor teaches plates 20 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.359 yoga as part of our practice. You may know her 21 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:14.159 from married to medicine. She'll be with us today. And 22 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.560 of course I want to remind you to tap in 23 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.719 on all the socials we are at KBLA fifteen eighty 24 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:27.640 everywhere we stream their daily on YouTube and Facebook. YouTube's 25 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.519 got the comments section, which is a whole vibe. And 26 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.760 then of course sometimes I'm on my socials, which are DPREMA, Radio, 27 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:39.400 dp R, I m A, Please like, follow, subscribe, do 28 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.519 all those things. It keeps us strong, it keeps us 29 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:49.359 connected and viable. So yeah, tap in. Some folks are 30 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.079 listening from work and they do not have the opportunity 31 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.239 to call. So if you're one of those, you know 32 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.760 you can sneak in a thought or two in the section. 33 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.599 Apparently we're in a heat wave. Hopefully we're hydrated. Can 34 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:07.480 say I did a great job of that yesterday, but 35 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:13.560 apparently to today, well, yesterday, today and tomorrow in southern 36 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.199 California are hot, hot, hot, hot hot. We do have 37 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.439 a lot to talk about. It's going to be a 38 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.039 wild election season. I can already tell it's not local, 39 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:34.639 but it resonates really in every municipality. The fact that 40 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:41.639 even Florida has elected a Democratic socialist, even the state 41 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:49.879 of Florida elected a black woman who is a Democratic 42 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.280 socialist and by the way, Angie Nixon is her name, 43 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.560 and by the way, she wins against the guy, this guy, 44 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:02.840 alex Vinman, who had sixteen times as much campaign money 45 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:10.280 as she did. Wow. So you know, hello, Hello Democratic Party. 46 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:17.400 Earth to the Democratic Party, your party, your constituents, the people, 47 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.080 We the us, the we, the collective, the greater good, 48 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:25.919 remember us. We are moving to the left. Whatever y'all doing, 49 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:31.560 it is not cutting it. And I don't hate to 50 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.520 say I told you so. I love to say I 51 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.919 told you so because I really feel like, for all 52 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.479 of the you know, challenges in blind spots and in 53 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:48.879 some cases terrible you know platforms or whatever, the energy 54 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.840 of the Democratic Party is in the progressive wing. And 55 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:57.280 I've been saying this for more than a decade. That's 56 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.080 where it is. Stop running from it, stop hiding from it. 57 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:04.479 It's an interview with Hakeem Jeffries, I think it was. 58 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.800 It was on Meet the Press where he was dodging 59 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:17.759 and skating around the whole episode of the whole issue 60 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:24.079 of Medicare for all and why he's not really for it. 61 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.600 He's old. We've got to find we have to find 62 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:31.879 a solution for this healthcare crisis. But okay, but it's 63 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.519 not medicare for all. And by solution, I mean solution 64 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.920 that my campaign donors who are insurance companies will be 65 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.199 fine with. So I mean, I just say that because 66 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.639 you know, let's start out with something that makes us smile. 67 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.920 It makes me smile because I believe that the energy 68 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.279 of the progressive wing of the party, with the young 69 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.079 people energy, even though we have you know, you got 70 00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.120 your Bernie Sanders, not only for young people, the young 71 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.160 people energy, the people of color energy, the women energy, 72 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.920 is what's not only going to save the party because 73 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.240 in a sense, that's not really a priority. It's what's 74 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.399 going for me. It's what's going to save the country. 75 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.319 How about that? And I say that because we've got 76 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.319 to be able to take care of people. We can't 77 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.839 have people dying and sleeping and living on the streets. 78 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.959 We can't have elders with no health care. We can't 79 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.759 have a kleptocracy where the very rich are just taking 80 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.199 money out of the cash register by the handful while 81 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.160 people are literally starving. And this right here is part 82 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:41.399 of the way forward, I think. Anyway, Oh, look, who's 83 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.439 on my phone. I was hoping he would tap in. 84 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.600 Even though he's got father papa duties, and he's got 85 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.240 court duties, and he's got a whole dog on law 86 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.079 practice to run. He's a more houseman. He is an 87 00:05:55.079 --> 00:06:00.480 attorney in private practice, personal in law. He's a California native, 88 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.079 Southern California native. At that it's like spotting a rare 89 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:12.439 bird attorney a person. Lynn, Good morning, Good morning, I'm Nate. 90 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.399 How you doing today. 91 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:14.600 I'm good. How are you. 92 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.439 I'm doing good, doing good, just you know, up a 93 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.360 little early, happy to be here and discuss whenever we 94 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.959 get to discuss. And I do have to say something 95 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.160 because I know you did it with the best of hearts. 96 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.079 But I am a Hampton man. O. 97 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:46.199 Lord, sorry about that. I knew that, Lord, And Howard 98 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:52.439 law right and Howard law right. What's the Hampton mascot? 99 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.240 We know, we all know the pirate, Oh pirates right 100 00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:58.040 there on the water. 101 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.720 Okay, okay, yeah, So it looks like it's going to 102 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:09.439 be quite quite a turbulent election season around here around 103 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:14.680 not just here, around the whole country. Oh yeah, So 104 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.959 you know, buckle your seat belts one in all, and 105 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.759 I don't know if you saw this fake poll. There's 106 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:26.920 some company that put out a fake poll and it 107 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.720 showed Mayor Karen Bass leading by a wide margin, and 108 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.639 then they like two days later said, oh, psych, it 109 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.959 wasn't really a real poll. We were just trying to 110 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.639 see something, and now people are trying to put that 111 00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:46.360 on the mayor. I saw council Member Ramen's team, you know, 112 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.160 sort of go harping about it, saying, well, they didn't 113 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.560 vet their own poles. But honestly, I don't think most 114 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.759 people do. I think when we see a poll, we 115 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.639 just report the results. You don't go in and you know, 116 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:02.120 independently verify that all these people were actually interviewed. No, 117 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.519 campaigns don't do it, corporations don't do it. Most media 118 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.160 out lets don't even do it. But it turns out 119 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.879 this was just something that they thought would be It 120 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.560 was like what they call a social experiment. I find 121 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:17.120 it fishy. 122 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.199 Yeah, it sounds fishy to start with. I mean it 123 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.160 is a lesson and a reminder that it is important 124 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:34.080 to bet any information that you get. But I was 125 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:38.360 just at the National Bar Associated some conference and did 126 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:45.639 a seminar on AI and man, they can do a 127 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:51.519 whole poll like and be fake, but it sounds real. 128 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.720 He showed us it was like he made a website 129 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.159 it said like check the boat dot com orce something 130 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:07.200 and showed him he could manipulate it from his phone whenever. So, uh, 131 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.600 that that's something, But it is kind of fishy to 132 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.120 really put it out there. That means somebody took the 133 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:18.320 time to call these outlets, send it to these outlets 134 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:25.240 for nobody to vet that. That's uh, that's something. But 135 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:29.120 they the point of the seminar is that they have real, 136 00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:35.600 official sounding names. But we have to remember if we 137 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.039 have frauds and scammers out there, now, they have AI too, 138 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.240 and they can do it. Not even saying that this 139 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.279 was the AI. But it's just wow that this would 140 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:53.879 come out just to give the other side momentum bus. Ultimately, 141 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:54.639 I think. 142 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.080 That's one of the reasons why I think it's fishy. Oh, 143 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.240 you wanted to see you wanted to see something. But 144 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.279 of all the race in all the country, you pick 145 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.919 the black mayor of Los Angeles to do your little 146 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.519 experiment on. They could have done it on any member 147 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.679 of Congress, they could have done it on the president. Nope, 148 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:16.320 they chose I find it. I you know, the LA 149 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.799 time says little is known about the firm, Well, why 150 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.559 somebody needs to do an investigation? I think I find 151 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.200 it very conveniently fishy. And they're saying, oh, well, it 152 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.080 casts light on how poles are wrong a lot of 153 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.519 the time. Well, those can be. A real pole can 154 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.240 be wrong because they don't they just take a sample 155 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.080 of people. But a fake pole is something different, and 156 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.960 we haven't seen much of that. That's pretty unusual. 157 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.480 Yeah, it is, even though we've seen a lot, You've 158 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.480 seen a whole lot. Just a straight up fake pole 159 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:57.399 is quite unusual to even hear about. But thenn't it 160 00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:02.360 be be putted on by multiple outlet That is? That 161 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.639 is something. But yet again there's a lesson and everything. 162 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:10.120 The lesson here is that we really need to vet 163 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.039 and in this day and age, especially in what I 164 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.279 do as a trial attorney. You know, they used to 165 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.639 say believe none of which you hear in half of 166 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.279 what you see. Man, I think that day is over 167 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.679 a bit. I don't think you could believe anything without 168 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.960 like the receipts, Like you can't believe any picture without 169 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.679 the metadatta, Like until you show me what day this 170 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.679 picture was created. I can't believe it because I can 171 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.679 take any picture I want, put it inside GBT and 172 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.879 make it look like something that it really isn't, but 173 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.840 still look like a bit a real picture. And so 174 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.320 this is a this is some perilous times we're living in. 175 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.559 Like I said that, I mean, that's a really good 176 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.039 point about the AI piece. I hadn't talked about that, 177 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.320 which is, you know, I guess whether it's a poll 178 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:07.279 or a photo or a video or a news report 179 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.320 that we really have to somehow and most of us 180 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:13.240 don't even know how to do it. You can call Miles. 181 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.320 He can help you figure out whether it's AI or 182 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.639 whether it's real. I mean, honestly, Ja, sometimes I find myself, 183 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.080 I've got a scroll in the comments because this doesn't 184 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.919 look real to me, and somebody's gonna call it out 185 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.759 that's AI, you know. But that's not a reliable method either. 186 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:32.480 I mean, with an article, you can search it, you know, 187 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.679 with a you know, I guess with a poll, you 188 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.080 could search at least who the company is, what their 189 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.000 track record is. But with a photo, how do you 190 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:41.720 verify that? 191 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.679 Yeah, it's it's tough, and you know, at least on Instagram. 192 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.080 I know they're supposed to have like the a this 193 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:57.600 is generated with AI tag on anything that was AI generated, 194 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:05.519 But once again, there's no still specific certain way that's 195 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.720 definitely that'll get you the answers that you seek on 196 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:15.120 where it was generated and how it was generated, because ultimately, 197 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:21.639 I believe I could create and like an AI picture 198 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:27.000 like screenshoted, and I'm not sure that if I did 199 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.919 all that before it got to Instagram, an Instagram will 200 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.320 be able to pick up on that. I mean, it's possible. 201 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.120 It was certainly ways around it. 202 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:39.679 Well, there have to be, and I think we'll get 203 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.519 more sophisticated with time. They're also saying it could be, 204 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:44.559 it could have it could actually be a crime if 205 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.639 they were trying to you know, if it was polymarket 206 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.799 oriented or calcy oriented where they were trying to take 207 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.440 or make bets based on this polling, if you want 208 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.600 to weigh in eight hundred and nine two fifteen eighty, 209 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.879 we do have a lot to talk about. Attorney Ja 210 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:03.919 Person is here and I'm Dominique Diprima and this is 211 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.559 KBLA talk fifteen to eighty right now. JA Person Lynn 212 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.440 is with us. He's an attorney and Jay. We've got 213 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:15.240 Fred from Crenshaw on the phone. Good morning, Fred, welcome. 214 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.360 Come on, Sister Dominic. How you doing. 215 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.039 I'm good. What's on your mind this morning? 216 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:20.320 Fred? 217 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:26.000 Yeah, I'd like to talk about the governess race if 218 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.600 I can. Okay, go ahead, y'all ask you know, basically 219 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:36.600 it's going to be between two people, he Saidsell and Hilton. 220 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.200 I would prefer but Sarah in there rather than Hilton. 221 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.480 You know, Hilton is is a Republican. And the thing 222 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.759 about it is, I haven't heard anything yet of how 223 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:54.399 the black community plans to vote for governor. 224 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.440 As you know, you missed my show, Fred, we did 225 00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:00.879 a whole show about that. Right now. Sarah is polling 226 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.639 really strongly among black voters. 227 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.840 Oh okayles that are not a I uh all right, 228 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.759 well okay, Well, well that that is a great new 229 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:17.200 new news zeus here, because you know, uh, we have 230 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:21.399 Americans that have been uh really uh done wrong. As 231 00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.000 I said, you know, we had Rega do magents. So 232 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.240 I'm glad to hear that, uh that Sarah is uh 233 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:32.399 doing well with the black community. I would encourage all 234 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.960 all of us to be sure to hit the pole 235 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:40.000 nomever third with you black white Latino l g PT 236 00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.919 because we need everybody been there, and I'm glad you 237 00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:46.960 brought a good point in Florida that I think the 238 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:51.200 first time they got their uh black woman. So I 239 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.840 think we all have to pay attention to that because, 240 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.000 as you know, Florida is a swing state, and that's 241 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.320 the state the Democrats won't need the president show election 242 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:02.879 of twenty twenty eight. 243 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:06.039 Indeed it is, we need it in the midterms too, 244 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:10.200 for sure. Thank you, Fred, I appreciate the observation. Uh yeah, 245 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:12.879 best set. I mean, he was part of the Obama 246 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.480 administration and then the Biden administration, so you got to 247 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.600 figure there's that. Plus he has a long, you know, 248 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.279 track record, He's not an unknown factor, so maybe that 249 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.840 explains his strong polling among black voters. Also, we don't 250 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.799 generally love voting for Fox News hosts. 251 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.919 But your thoughts, Jaye, Yeah, that's this is an interesting 252 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:46.519 governor's race too. Like I didn't hear with the Hilton's 253 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:49.919 name until I believe he was like on the show 254 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:53.039 with Tavis. That was the first time I heard him. Yeah, yeah, 255 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:54.320 like as a human being. 256 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:55.080 Oh wow? 257 00:16:55.320 --> 00:17:00.080 Ever, okay, yeah, Like I didn't know he existed, and 258 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.359 then for him to be the Republican nominee. I think 259 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.559 we're gonna see something here because it's uh, it was 260 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.480 a time like I remember the two thousand presidential election 261 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.039 where you go to sleep and gore one and you 262 00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:24.880 wake up and the Bush one. Yeah, but apparently that 263 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:31.759 happened in a California gubernatorial election as well, where people 264 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.920 went to sleep and Tom Bradley won but woke up 265 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.319 and I forget who it was, but they they had. Ultimately, 266 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.599 it was some way way back. But I think maybe 267 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:49.119 even before, well certainly before I was a cotton center politics. 268 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:56.039 But I will say that, you know, California gets liberal 269 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.240 up to a certain point, and we're about to see. 270 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:08.759 George Duke Magian. It was Duke Magian. Yes, yes, yeah, 271 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.640 I mean California is progressive in this along the coasts, 272 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.200 but that's where all the people are. I know, Hilton, 273 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:20.759 you're saying he could surprise us, but right now he's 274 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.960 getting his butt handed to him in the polls. I 275 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.559 mean we're talking like sixty to forty percent or something, 276 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.720 and I know that can change, but I know Tom 277 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.279 Bradley was never polland like that Bassetto would be the 278 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.880 first Latino governor, so hopefully that would activate the Latino vote, 279 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.960 which is unpredictable. 280 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:46.279 Yes, yes, and that's that's what America, I mean, California 281 00:18:46.359 --> 00:18:50.880 is really going to see because that that Latino vote, 282 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:56.319 it is unpredictable, and we don't necessarily know that the 283 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.759 Spanish last name is enough to generate the majority of 284 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.599 Latino vote. But you know where that vote goes is 285 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.559 certainly who will win the election. 286 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.759 I mean, it's more than just the last name. He's 287 00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.039 been the Secretary of Health and Human Services. He's you know, 288 00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.480 he's been in politics in California for a very long time, 289 00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.079 so it's you know what I mean, he's a known factor. 290 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:24.319 It's not just the name. 291 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.400 No, I get that, and based on history and how 292 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:35.440 things should be, he should win quite easily. 293 00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:35.960 Right. 294 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.480 But you're saying, don't take it for granted. 295 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:41.720 Exactly. 296 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:44.279 That's my point in all of it is that we'll, 297 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:48.599 you know, we'll see the true colors once they find 298 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.880 these show and shine bright on election day or up 299 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.799 until election day. But that's something I think we should 300 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.839 all be on the lookout for because it's not as 301 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.799 black and white as many would try and make it. 302 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.079 Right, and as we just spent a whole bunch of 303 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.480 time talking about the polls are and reliable, even the 304 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.640 legit ones. This is that was a UC Berkeley, La 305 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.680 Times pullet sound it found beset I had fifty five 306 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.319 percent in Hilton at thirty seven, with only seven percent 307 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.279 of voters undecided. I don't know where the other that 308 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:24.440 doesn't add up to one hundred. But maybe they're still 309 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:28.640 voting for Antonio Viarragoza even though he didn't, you know, 310 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:33.079 or someone else that didn't make the runoff. So right 311 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.640 now it looks best set up. But I think you're right. 312 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.240 It would be a mistake to just think, oh, we 313 00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.279 don't have to worry about it, we don't have to vote. No, 314 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:47.880 you can mess around and have a an English Fox 315 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.920 News Trump supporter for governor of California, which would be 316 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.519 pretty dire actually, and it would not. 317 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.920 Be the first time we had a year and born 318 00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:03.000 governor in California. 319 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.759 Really, who who's the other one? 320 00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.319 Theah, that's right, yes. 321 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.359 Of course, Honold. I don't even really think of him 322 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.680 as a governor, even though he was the governor, because. 323 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.759 He was certainly the governor. Yeah, he was the governor multiples. 324 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:26.359 And if you think about it, that was when the 325 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:31.559 then community organizer Karen Bass went to the Assembly and 326 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:33.880 ended up being the first black woman to lead a 327 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.960 state house in all of in the whole United States, 328 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.519 and she had to deal with that dude. 329 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:47.680 So you know, he won in like a recall re election. Initially, 330 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.599 I believe. 331 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.200 That they recalled that when they recalled Gray Davis and 332 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.519 then and then put in Schwarzenegger, who was a Republican 333 00:21:57.400 --> 00:22:01.359 and in everything except for environmentalists, he really did line 334 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:02.559 up as a Republican. 335 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.160 Yeah, yeah, and you know that was what we had. 336 00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:13.200 So you know, it's not above California. 337 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:16.559 As a I mean, think Reagan for that matter. I 338 00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.319 mean these guys coming from out of the entertainment world 339 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:23.440 that have the slickness to make it sound less toxic. 340 00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:27.640 You know, these Republican talking points and policy platforms are 341 00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:31.519 the same. But Arnold can make it sound you know, smooth. 342 00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:35.640 Steve Hilton can make it sound polite in English. Ronald 343 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:39.680 Reagan could make it sound rugged and western, and it 344 00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.559 all was the same groceries, different bag. 345 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:49.400 Yeah exactly. So this is what we're up against here. 346 00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:54.880 But you know, some people being associated to Trump is 347 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.920 just not enough right to say, Okay, they're a bad person. 348 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:05.319 And you know, truthfully, in politics it should be because 349 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.960 of someone legitimately. It should not be because if someone 350 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:13.640 legitimately holds the belief the core beliefs of the republican 351 00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:18.440 part of the smaller government, the greater accountability for spending 352 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:27.240 on the fiscal responsibility supposed to have, that's one that 353 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:28.039 they're supposed to have. 354 00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.240 I know we got newstopping in sports than more with 355 00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:35.440 Attorney Jaya personallyn only right here. You appreciate you. Attorney 356 00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:38.200 Jay a person Lynn is with us, And yesterday we 357 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:43.200 were talking about the La Jazz Festival and it's demise 358 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:46.920 or postponement. I hope it's a postponement. Something I personally 359 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:50.960 have been involved in helping out working with. I'm on 360 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:54.319 the board of their foundation. I've been working on it 361 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:58.480 maybe five years. I know Martin Ludlow, the visionary behind it, 362 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.119 the founder, been working on it about fifteen years. You 363 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.359 don't just get to just go out on the beach 364 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:06.799 and put up a stage and do a show. That's 365 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.960 just not how it works. And anyone who has dealt 366 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.920 with the city and county and state here knows that 367 00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:18.680 it's it can be quite amazed, it can be quite challenging. Also, 368 00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:20.440 I wanted to say, which I didn't get time to 369 00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:25.079 say yesterday, that the Jazz Festival Foundation has been doing 370 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:29.119 these jazz camps for the past two summers where we 371 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.079 have the best and some of the best high school 372 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.599 jazz musicians from all over the country come to LA 373 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.759 and study with jazz masters on scholarship as just part 374 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.640 of the charitable work that the Foundation does so, and 375 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:50.039 this is an organization that has a solid board people. 376 00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:53.839 You know, it's not some fly by night operation. But 377 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:57.720 it's getting slaughtered in the mainstream press, and I think 378 00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:58.920 a lot of it is unfair. 379 00:24:59.079 --> 00:24:59.319 I do. 380 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.200 I am disappointed, and I do think it's legit that 381 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.680 people are disappointed and upset, but the way that is 382 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:12.839 being reported, I think is quite unfair. Yeah. 383 00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:20.720 Yeah, I understand that the June teen festival like the 384 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.680 big one because it had been going on for years 385 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:28.599 and people should know that. But in twenty twenty we 386 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:33.400 were under COVID restrictions. There was no permits to get 387 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:39.920 But after we did a demonstration of black Love in 388 00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:46.680 response to the George Floyd protests, we had two weeks 389 00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:50.960 later or really about yeah, a little over two weeks later, 390 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:55.720 it was a decision was made to have the June 391 00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.880 teen Festival, and we did it. You know, there was 392 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:04.759 no security issues, no problems, but we did it certainly 393 00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:09.000 without any permits, because nobody was getting permits to do 394 00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:13.039 social gatherings. If you remember at the time, they were 395 00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:19.680 called like super spread or events. Oh yeah, yeah, it 396 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:24.000 went off without a hits and it was a community 397 00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.759 showing what the community wanted and they were like virtually 398 00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.279 no police there and no problems, and so you know, 399 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:38.119 as the years passed, certainly, you know, it does cost 400 00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:43.519 money to shut down streets, It does cost money to 401 00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:47.480
